Indeed. Best-sellers and popular crowd-pleasers are seldom 'great', from techical standpoints. All the stars (concept, quality, technique, originality, timing, sales & marketing, etc) probably need to align before we get another Chanel No. 5 or Shalimar phenomenon.

I think the point is if enough people don't like a frag (or art for that matter) then you could say it was overrated, but that would take a huge poll. The sales figures and longevity themselves surely bear out the facts. If enough people like it to make it a success, then either the sales marketing was pretty good or it isn't overrated. If the former, then it just wouldn't last long. If anything has been around for some time, and isn't particularly cheap, then it must be regularly rated pretty well and rated over the competition by somebody holding a purse or wallet.
Only have tried it once, not sure which version and if it was in good condition, but +1 No 5.
Also really can't see the attraction of Tommy Girl which seems to have
been massively popular and receives good reviews from experienced noses still.
As for overrated online, on BN and Fragrantica, probably Dirty English. Safari too. I'd even have to add Devin, though it's not a bad scent.
I think Mitsouko. I've tried it and I didn't like it. Maybe the vintage one is better but I find Shalimar superior to it.
I've also tried No.5-didn't like it . No.19 is much better imo.
Just a curiosity: I've asked many women,ages 25-50, ( including my wife) if they like No.5 and every time I got negative answers.
Ciprian, I do not like to wear Mitsouko. Every time I try I must scrub it off. But I love it anyway. I wish I could enjoy it. I think it is beautiful and evocative of all kinds of things, but I just can't wear it. It is not meant for me. It is alien and does not become part of me. In that case, I wouldn't say it is overrated, just not for me. Again...just my opinion.
Any and all fragrances by
I have smelled and analyzed all of them and there isn't a single one I feel is worthy of retaining my interest. This, obviously, is merely my own opinion. I do not intend to present it in the guise of fact.
As it is said in French: Les Gouts et les couleurs ne se dicutent pas.

"...a Chacun son Mauvais Gout."
Terre d'Hermes is the most overrated, I think. I just don't get what people see in this one.
Pure Malt is up there too.
- - - - - - - - - - - - -
Aventus and Creed aren't overrated. At least in my eyes. I also love Pure Malt and Cool Water. But this is just me.
They don't appeal to everyone, but the people these all appeal to, seem to love it.
If I had to pick one fragrance that's overrated, it would be Issey Miyake.
Tobacco Vanille - lovely opening and then a mind numbing relentless vanilla that probably comes staright off the shelf at one of the labs. A textbook case of front loading IMO.
As for Creed and especially Aventus...Even if they had longevity, and even if I even half liked Aventus...They are so over analyzed, and over talked about it makes me sick...COME ON...I followed a 3-page thread explaining the variations of the BATCH NUMBERS of AVENTUS!! GAG...

Another tactic by Creed to make them appear more exclusive.
Don't believe the hype.
I think there are many of us out there getting our inboxes flooded all day long.
We are all addicts...
I don't think Aventus is overrated as much as it is over hyped. It's mentioned so often these days that it becomes anticlimactic when people try it.
Send me some and I'll tell you.... lol

I'm going simple..Armani Mania. Pretty linear Cedar and Cashmere musk but I love it and think its great for work or casual weekends. Clean and crisp.

Based strictly on what I know and like, among others: Ungaro II, Loewe para Hombre, Joint by Roccobarocco, Davidoff Relax, Boss Elements, Gucci Nobile, YSL pour Homme, Lanvin Vetiver and many more I can not remember right now, but I do have a feeling of "not getting much love" outside Basenotes.

Lalique White. Encre Noir gets all the attention, but White is a beautiful summer fragrance.
for the autumn season, my most underrated scent right now is Tilda Swinton Like this. Spectacular pumpkin gourmand. Recalls Autumn smells well.
ST Barth Homme. 5 stars fragance
#TOP 5#: Penhaligons Racquets,Jean Pascal Homme,Romeo Gigli Uomo,ST Barth Homme,Domenico Caraceni
U know....Van Cleef & Arpels is underrated, cause like MIP smells fantastic, Feerie is an amazing fruity fragrance, Tsar and Pour Homme although not my cup of tea (too masculine) are perfect specimens of their genre and frankly I prefer them to the other ultra masculine classics. All of these are underrated imo.
Creed MI. I just don't get why this is one of their most popular frags. I mean, it's not a bad fragrance, but I just don't get it's hype. All I smell is faint melon & sharp, dry saltwater with very poor longevity. Safe summer scent, I suppose, but have a hard time understanding why it's one of their most popular offerings.
Many creeds (milesime bla bla) and many Bonds smell so cheap and synthetic.
Mugler cologne.
Bleu de Chanel.
And many more...
So, this is the opposite of yesterday's thread I posted: http://www.basenotes.net/threads/312...n-Your-Opinion
This time let's look at some fragrances that haven't lived up to their names. I'm talking about frags that have been highly regarded in the frag community but have not lived up to your expectations (in your opinion).
I sometimes wonder why AdG is sooo highly regarded.....to me it's a fragrance that basically does nothing for me.
DHI and Aventus.
There I said it. /thread
This will be considered blasphemy.. But.. Dare I say it.. Pure Malt!! Luckily my bottle is still wrapped up.. So if the day comes where I fully decide that I don't like it I'll flip it. Have a decant of it that i sniff from time to time but can never decide if its for me or not..
Aventus, Green Irish Tweed, Tuscan Leather, Knize Ten, and Black Afgano. I probably have hundreds of people now that want to kill me.
In order:
1. Egoiste (do not like it whatsoever)
2. Aventus (it's just okay)
3. Millesime Imperial
Current top 10 (No order):
1. Pure Havane
2. Menthe Fraiche
3. Tobacco Vanille
4. L'Air Du Desert Marocain
5. Green Irish Tweed
6. Fahrenheit
7. Musc Ravageur
8. Tonka Imperial

La Nuit De L'Homme by Yves Saint Laurent is too saccharine and teeters on the feminine side.
And, to make matters worst, it is a humdrum composition, at best.

And maybe bring home a state title in the shot put as well.
Wallace-O'Neal captured both throwing events with personal bests while teammate Tatyana Glasgow claimed the 100 and 200 along with anchoring the winning 4 x 200-meter relay team as the Cardinals finished second in the NCHSAA 3-A East Regional.
The Cardinals finished with 79 points, nine back of winner West Carteret. White Oak's girls were fifth with 43 points. JHS' boys were fourth with 42 points while WOHS was eighth with 29 points.
The top four individuals in each event advance to next week's state championships.
"I feel pretty good," Wallace-O'Neal said. "It was a pretty solid performance. It just reflected how I practiced this week. I just felt really good when I came into the circle. I really had a great day. I don't know where the energy came from, but I was just so happy when it happened."
Wallace-O'Neal won the discus with a heave of 123 feet, 8 inches, which easily exceeded her throw of 117-4 that won the state title a year ago. Wallace-O'Neal also tossed the shot put 40-0, which was ahead of the 38-9 3/4 that won the state title in 2012.
And make no mistake about it, a double gold day next Saturday at N.C. A&T State University in Greensboro is Wallace-O'Neal's goal.
"I would feel awesome after that," she said. "It would be a dream come true."
The 18-year-old Wallace-O'Neal, who didn't make states in 2012 in the shot put, said she had a "careful" week of practice heading into the regional at West Carteret High School.
"I just tried to relax and just fine-tuning," she said.
Coach Curt Dowdy said the relaxation carried over into the meet.
"We have really been working on both events," he said. "But we talked a little bit about when you step in the circle, stop being in a rush. Get your body set … and then you're able to able to focus where you need to focus at.
"Lyssa definitely was focused today. We talked about getting height on the shot put. To throw 40 feet, she had some height on it. She came through. That's what happens when you get your body set before you start throwing."
While Wallace-O'Neal only had to deal with intermittently brisk winds, almost all the running events were run under rain showers ranging from a mist to a moderate downpour and a chilly breeze, which certainly didn't help the times.
But Glasgow, who finished in the top eight in states in the 100, 200 and 400 last year, won the 100 in 12.3 seconds and the 200 in 25.65 seconds while finishing second in the 400 at 59.68. She also ran the anchor leg as the Cardinals won the 4x200 in 1:47.84.
"The competition is definitely harder than in conference. So I know I was up against a lot more better runners, but just weather, it brings you so down. It makes you not want to run. But I knew I had to," she said. "I feel I ran to my best ability considering everything going on today. I felt I did pretty good."
More than that, she surprised herself.
"Actually I didn't expect to do this well this year," she said. "I surprised myself at how much better I've gotten."
Wallace-O'Neal and Glasgow were the only double winners from JHS and WOHS, but they weren't the only area athletes who crossed the finish line first.
For the Cardinals, Tyshawn Siders claimed the 100 (10.86) and Dana Stone won the 400 (50.83) while Dominique Chandler won the 100 hurdles (16.34) and was on the winning 4x2 relay team while finishing third in the triple jump.
And for White Oak, Toya Anding won the long jump with a personal best of 18 1/2 while finishing second in the triple jump at 33-11. She was also a member of the 4x2 relay team that finished third.
"I feel good because there were a lot of people around so I was nervous. But I just jumped," Anding said. "The weather didn't help, but it was my best jump. I felt pretty good. I've been icing all week because I have shin splints.
"But I felt good. I wanted to place in at least one event. I placed in three, so I'm glad."
WOHS coach Chris Mueller said Anding has a shot at doing "very well" at states, adding he was pleased overall with his team's performance.
"We tried to build around the relays and it started off well," he said, noting the boys' and girls' 4x2 and 4x8 relay teams. "The boys 4x1was ranked first and we were out of the zone so we got disqualified. That happens. It doesn't feel good, but it happens."

Scientists have restored the sense of smell in mice through gene therapy for the first time -- a hopeful sign for people who can't smell anything from birth or lose it due to disease.

Researchers found that the human monoclonal antibody targeting the virus protected chimpanzees from HCV infection in a dose-dependent manner in a study conducted at Texas Biomed's Southwest National Primate Research Center in San Antonio. Chimpanzees are the only species other than humans that can be infected by the hepatitis C virus and therefore the results from this study were critical in the development of the monoclonal antibody.

Research at Imperial College London examining influenza transmission in ferrets suggests that the virus can be passed on before the appearance of symptoms. If the finding applies to humans, it means that people pass on flu to others before they know they're infected, making it very difficult to contain epidemics.

How do stem cells preserve their ability to become any type of cell in the body? And how do they "decide" to give up that magical state and start specializing? If researchers could answer these questions, our ability to harness stem cells to treat disease could explode. University of Michigan Medical School researcher Yali Dou and her team have discovered the crucial role of a protein called Mof in preserving the "stem-ness" of stem cells, and priming them to become specialized cells in mice.

New research led by Professor Hannes Lohi at the University of Helsinki, Finland, revealed several similarities between compulsive behavior in dogs and humans. Dogs may turn out to be of significant use in investigating the causes of human psychiatric diseases. "Stereotypic behavior occurs in dogs spontaneously; they share the same environment with humans, and as large animals are physiologically close to humans. Furthermore, their strict breed structure aids the identification of genes."

A group of Kansas State University researchers has made valuable findings in the search for cancer's cure. While researching ways to improve animal health, the scientists -- Raymond "Bob" Rowland, a virologist and professor of diagnostic medicine and pathobiology, and Deryl Troyer, professor of anatomy and physiology -- have made two important discoveries that can also improve human health.

Washington County, Maryland...the first county named after a Revolutionary War GeneralWashington County, Maryland
...the first county named after a Revolutionary War General
As of 2010, the population for Washington County, Maryland is 147,430. This county was the first county in the United States to be named for the Revolutionary War general (and later President of the United States) George Washington. Hagerstown is the county seat.
The western part of Maryland (including the present Washington County) was incorporated into Prince George's County in 1696. This county included six current counties, and by repeated splitting, new ones were generated. The first was Frederick from Prince George's in 1748.
Washington County was formed in 1776 by the splitting of Frederick County. At the same time, another county, Montgomery County, was also split off from Frederick County and named for another general, Richard Montgomery. Washington County was later split into Allegany County (split off in 1789) and Garrett County, which was split from Allegany County in 1789. These three counties make up the entire westernmost part of the state of Maryland.
How it Came to Be
In March of 1732 the proprietor of the Province of Maryland desired to attract settlers to the Northern and the Western areas of his territory., so he made a proclamation declaring special land prices and taxes for settlers.
Large tracts of land were speedily secured by a relatively few of the wealthier citizens of Maryland, including the finest parts of the valleys of the Monocacy and the Antietam in what is now Frederick and Washington counties.
Daniel Dulaney took a patent for "Monocacy Manor" a tract of 8983 acres.
Charles Carroll took "Carroll's Manor" in what is now Buckeystown district.
Patrick Dulaney took a tract upon a portion of which Frederick City was built.
James Carroll took a large tract in Linganore district.
Leonard Calvert and Thomas Johnson patented the Catoctin Furnace property.
While the early land grants were to English-speaking people from Maryland, and the earliest settlers came from nearby St. Mary's, Charles, and Prince George's Counties, a large part of the actual settlers of the land were Palatines from Germany. Most of the German-speaking Immigrants were spreading south from Pennsylvania. Commerce between the German settlements in southern Pennsylvania and parts of Virginia was common, and the main road between these areas was through this part of Maryland.
Long before there were any settlements in Washington County, parties of Germans passed through it from Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, to seek homes in Virginia. The principal route was over a packhorse or Indian road that crossed the present Pennsylvania counties of York and Adams to the Monocacy where it passed into Maryland. Once in Maryland, the road passed through Crampton's Gap and crossed the Potomac at several fords. The first German settlement in the area near Washington County was as early as 1729 in the village of Monocacy in Frederick County, which was the first village beyond the lower part of Montgomery County in Western Maryland.
Monocacy was situated at or near the present village of Creagerstown. Here around 1732 the first German church, which was known as the Log Church, was built in Maryland. The Log Church later became the church of Creagerstown and then was replaced by a brick church a few rods north of the old site in 1834. There were several taverns there to accommodate travelers on the Monocacy Road, which was constructed by the governments of Pennsylvania and Maryland. Monocacy Road was an improvement upon the old Indian trail, which was formerly used. The road went from Wright's Ferry in Pennsylvania to the Maryland line, then to the Potomac, and then on to the uplands of Virginia.
The locals and the history books called this group the Irish. However they were actually Scots/Irish who were also known as the Ulster Scots. The Scots/Irish tended to migrate towards the highlands of Frederick County and Washington County, Maryland. In small groups, they also lived in the German communities of Pennsylvania, Maryland and Virginia.
After the French and Indian War was over, Creagerstown was laid out by John Cramer between 1760 and 1770 about a mile from the original settlement of Monacacy and a short distance north of the old Log Church.
As the tide of German immigrants increased, a more direct route to Western Maryland was established. The immigrants landed at Annapolis and later some at Baltimore. From there they traveled over the bad roads of that time to their destinations in the valley of the Monocacy. The Maryland officials early appreciated the value of the German settlers to the province and did all they could to encourage the movement, as the Germans were looked upon as a thrifty, industrious and God-fearing people who were a benefit to the community. From 1752 to 1755, 1060 German immigrants arrived by this route besides those that came in through Philadelphia and used the Monocacy Road.

11/14/13 Robin Thicke & Britney Spears Hook-Up?
Find me on Facebook: Jake Emily Poyet Webb
Thursday, November 14, 2013
"In Touch" magazine says ROBIN THICKE and BRITNEY SPEARS had an affair in 2003, after collaborating on a project that never materialized. Britney would have been around 21 at the time, and Robin would have been about 26. Robin's rep denies it.
Justin Bieber has gone through a lot of crap while touring Latin America. Now he's catching flak for disrespecting the Argentine flag. During his gig in Buenos Aires Saturday night, two flags were thrown up onstage. And he used both his foot and his microphone stand to sweep them off the stage.
After a screening of his new Navy SEAL movie, MARK WAHLBERG went off on actors who compare their jobs to that of soldiers. He didn't mention TOM CRUISE, but he did say, quote, "For somebody to sit there and say my job was as difficult as being in the military? How [effing] dare you, while you sit in a makeup chair for two hours."
Everybody talks about DEMI LOVATO'S body cutting and body image issues . . . but apparently her drug and alcohol abuse got just as far out of hand. She says, quote, "Yes, I've been very honest, but if people really knew how dark and deep my struggles got . . . not just with my eating disorder but with drugs and alcohol . . . they'd be really shocked. But I'll most likely end up saying everything. Maybe it'll help other people in the industry who are headed down the wrong path."
11/13/13 Alec Baldwin Cries on Stand

Wednesday, November 13, 2013
A report on the Weirdest Places Celebrities Have Had Sex includes the following: Jenny McCarthy at the bottom of the Grand Canyon, Liev Schreiber on the Staten Island Ferry and, of course, Scarlett Johansson and Benicio del Toro in an elevator.
In an interview with "Extra", LIAM HEMSWORTH says he's currently single . . . quote, "I don't have a lady at the moment." He also refused to hate on MILEY CYRUS. He said, quote, "I'm extremely happy for all of her success."
ZAC EFRON had to have his jaw wired shut after breaking it in an accidental fall at his house. He also suffered a cut that required stitches. (We don't know where the cut was.) E! Online says Zac slipped in a puddle of water he didn't see. He's expected to make a full recovery.
ALEC BALDWIN actually broke down on the witness stand yesterday while testifying against his alleged stalker. He was describing how the woman had made his life "miserable" by relentlessly threatening him and his wife HILARIA. Outside the courthouse he was back to his usual self, telling reporters, quote, "I hope you choke to death."
Has KANYE WEST'S popularity TANKED since he started dating KIM KARDASHIAN? A new report claims his popularity is down 66% since he got mixed up with Kim in the spring of 2012. Kim has also taken a shot on the same scale. She recently had her likeability drop by 50%.

Tuesday, November 12, 2013
JUSTIN BIEBER claimed he'd come down with food poisoning over the weekend, but vowed to go forward with his show in Buenos Aires Sunday night. And he kept that promise . . . sort of. Yes he took the stage, but he quit less than an hour into the show because he wasn't feeling well. He told the crowd, quote, "I wanted to come out here and give you the best show but, um, I'm not feeling too good. I think I'm out of energy."
JENNA JAMESON retired from porn in 2008 saying she would, quote, "Never ever ever spread my legs again in this industry. Ever." But TMZ says she's BACK ON HER BACK to make some cash. She recently lost her home to foreclosure, and is in court fighting TITO ORTIZ for custody of their kids.
In the new issue of "Esquire" magazine, GEORGE CLOONEY talks smack about RUSSELL CROWE, LEONARDO DICAPRIO and ASHTON KUTCHER. He said Russell picked a fight with him several years ago for no reason . . . Leo and his crew talk smack but can't back it up on the basketball court . . . and Ashton, at least on one occasion, Tweeted without thinking first.
"Good Morning America's" AMY ROBACH was diagnosed with breast cancer . . . thanks to an on-air mammogram that she did last month. Amy said that she'd been reluctant to be the one to do it, because she had no connection to the disease, but now credits the show with saving her life. She also announced that she's going to be aggressive, and will have a double mastectomy.
11/11/13 Charlie Violates Gag Order
Find me on Facebook: Jake Emily Poyet Webb
Monday, November 11, 2013
JUSTIN BIEBER was reportedly kicked out of a Hotel in Buenos Aires, Argentina . . . because his fans were camping outside the place and causing all kinds of damage. And other hotels didn't want him . . . because they didn't want to deal with that insanity. Justin had a sold-out gig in Buenos Aires yesterday. There's no word where he and his crew ended up staying.
An anonymous source at child services says CHARLIE SHEEN, quote, "cares more about his drugs and porn stars than he does the kids." Meanwhile, BROOKE MUELLER'S brother was given custody of their twins on Friday. As usual, Charlie dealt with this the mature way: By going off on everybody on Twitter. He said the boys were in "grave danger" from "a gaggle of incompetent and lascivious marionettes." He also called Brooke "an Adderall-snorting husk" . . . and referred to the judge overseeing the case as, quote, "anus-brain." This violates a GAG ORDER that the judge had put in place . . . and it COULD mean jail time for Charlie. We haven't heard yet whether the judge is going to lock him up or not.
In a recent legal deposition, TOM CRUISE compared making movies to fighting in Afghanistan. But his attorney says he didn't mean to say making movies was just as hard. He says, quote, "What Tom said, laughingly, was that sometimes, 'That's what it feels like.'" He added that Tom is, quote, "a staunch supporter of our troops."
11/8/13 Lamar & Khloe Back Together
Find me on Facebook: Jake Emily Poyet Webb
Friday, November 8, 2013
EVA MENDES and RYAN GOSLING have reportedly broken up after about two years together. A source says, quote, "Eva said the relationship had just run its course. "There wasn't a lot to say. He was everything you're supposed to want in a guy . . . great on paper . . . but she felt like something was missing."
Sources say LAMAR ODOM and KHLOE KARDASHIAN have been spending a lot more time together lately, and things are going pretty well. A witness says they were looking, quote, "couple-y" at KRIS JENNER'S birthday party Tuesday night. And Khloe is denying reports that they're selling their house.
DENISE RICHARDS and BROOKE MUELLER met yesterday with a representative of the Department of Children and Family Services . . . to discuss the custody of Brooke's 4-year-old twin sons with CHARLIE SHEEN. Charlie was also invited to the meeting, but declined to attend. Denise has temporary custody of Bob and Max, but she recently wrote a letter to the DFCS saying she couldn't handle them anymore because they're basically IN-FREAKIN'-SANE. And she blamed Brooke for that. At yesterday's meeting, Denise was reportedly still not sure she wanted to keep the boys. But everyone agreed that they've suffered significant psychological damage due to their tumultuous family situation. But there was at least one positive: There was no evidence that Brooke is off the wagon. And the DCFS acknowledged that the goal is to get Brooke back into a position where she can resume custody. Not surprisingly, nobody suggested that Charlie take custody
Tom Cruise has filed a $50 million lawsuit against Bauer Publishing for their 2012 cover stories of both Life & Style and In Touch that claimed he had abandoned Suri after divorcing Katie Holmes. As part of the deposition in the case Cruise said it's not the ideal situation and he didn't see his daughter for 110 days after the divorce.

Bottom Line
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
I purchased a 2013 V6 Accord in April 2013. Love the car but after about 4,000mi I began to hear a slight growl in the drivetrain. I listened to it on a long trip when the engine ran at 1500 RPM. At 8000mi I took the car in for service and told the service depart about the noise that was much louder now and I thought it was a bearing sound. They test drove the car and told me they could not detect the noise. Now the car has 11,000mi and the sound is very pronounce and you can feel the vibration in the steering wheel and floor of the car. Three of their techs agreed to hearing and feeling this problem. I've been told it's the VCM which offsets the engine balance via the motor mounts when the car is running in economy mode. Honda of America (HoA) says that's normal. How much did Honda spend to develope a car that operates like this?
I love the car but very dissapointed with this condition and the results from HoA. I'm not that gulliable.
Does anyone else have this problem?

Written by luciana on September 05, 2013Read Review details ►
Eau Sauvage is my all-time number one - a scent that I have always loved, a timeless classic - an elegant citrus blend perfect for formal occasions, but versatile enough for anytime. EAU SAUVAGE EXTREME retains the fresh lemony elegance of the original, with a significantly longer lifespan. Extreme is also a bit more concentrated than its predecessor, (but not as concentrated as an "Eau de Parfum"), and it is one of the rare scents that you can over-indulge in without causing bystanders to gag. The original Eau Sauvage was popular with young French gentlemen from the 1950s onwards - I recall wearing it one night in Paris some years ago, when the scent prompted the head of the family I was staying with (a very distinguished aristocrat with a very distinguished title) to reminisce about the highlights of his own Eau Sauvage scented adolescence (the most memorable being his tales of romantic adventures aboard the transatlantic ocean liners of the fifties). In addition to its popularity with the aristocracy and the crowned heads of Europe and their offspring, ES smells so amazingly good that it simply cannot fail to please. I have been looking for Extreme a while now and was terrified that it was no longer available, so words cannot express my relief at finding it here. If you only ever choose one fragrance, this is the one. An eternal classic.

Eau Sauvage de Christian Dior is my all time favorite. I was introduced to the scent by my Dad who was a real cologne aficionado. This was his favorite and became mine (I loved to wear it). When I got married, I introduced my husband to it and it became his favorite. 37 years later, it still is. Elegant, subtle and sexy, this scent is for that classy someone interested in leaving a forever lasting impression on those around.

'Bought a bottle in Toulon France in 1993. As of today's date the big bottle is nearly empty having only carefully been used as a secret weapon during special evening events (you name them... black tie, special date, anniversary, or maybe just as a surprise). Eau Savage has never disappointed! I'm glad it's still around.

Caged Cruelty - The Monkey Farms of Laos
The cruel trade in monkeys in South East Asia for the international research industry involves thousands of monkeys incarcerated in overcrowded and barren conditions in breeding farms across Laos.
The BUAV investigation uncovered shocking conditions that breach internationally recognised animal welfare guidelines. Some monkeys were found dead in their pens, while others were severely emaciated and suffering from severe hair loss and injuries.
The BUAV is calling for action by CITES (Convention on the International Trade in Endangered Species) and governments to address the largely unregulated trade in macaque within South-east Asia and take action over the serious animal welfare concerns that this investigation has uncovered.
The long-tailed macaque (M. fascicularis) is currently the most heavily-traded mammal listed on the CITES Appendices. There has been a rapid expansion of the international trade in long-tailed macaques in South East Asia since 2004 as the breeding and supply of the species for research purposes has developed into a large-scale business enterprise. The number of long-tailed macaques exported globally for research sharply rose from 119,373 (between 1999 and 2003) to 261,823 (between 2004 and 2008). The monkeys are exported to Vietnam and China, both countries are major suppliers of macaques to the laboratories of the UK, Europe and the USA.
Please support our campaign:
Write letters to the Laos embassy in your country calling on the government of Laos to place an immediate ban on the capture, breeding and export of long-tailed macaques destined for the research industry. Click here for the contact details of Laos embassies around the world.

Visiting the Oncology Service
If cancer is suspected, a visit to Mass. Eye and Ear is in order. Some patients visit without a physician's referral, but medical insurance may require a referral for reimbursement.
The initial visit will typically include a medical history and ear, nose, and throat examination made by a board-certified otolaryngologist – an ear, nose, and throat specialist. Residents in training for board certification may also participate in care planning.
The examination time can range from 30 minutes to three hours, depending on the need for consultations and supplementary tests such as X-rays and lab work. The doctor may use special instruments to evaluate the sinuses, nasal cavity, voice box and other internal structures. Sophisticated radiology exams such as CT scans or barium swallows usually require separate appointments.
Coordinating treatment, rehabilitation and aftercare
If the examination reveals the presence of a tumor, the head and neck team will recommend the best course of treatment. Treatment options may include surgery, radiation and chemotherapy – or some combination of all three.
Successful head and neck cancer treatment is the result of a coordinated effort of many health care specialists. Mass. Eye and Ear is committed to treating the entire patient – not just the disease. Surgery recovery may require specialized rehabilitation, skilled nursing, home health care and other services. Compassionate experts from Social Work and Discharge Planning coordinate all the required services to best meet both the patient's and family's needs after treatment.

What's next, Sonics fans, after rejection of Kings move?
Associated Press
A pair of Mariners fans sit with a sign as they wait for the start of Monday's baseball game in Seattle between the Marners and the Baltimore Orioles. The NBA's relocation committee voted unanimously Monday to recommend that owners reject the application for the Sacramento Kings basketball team to relocate to Seattle,
The score was 12-0, and while the verdict of the relocation committee was merely a recommendation that will precede a vote by the league's Board of Governors, pro basketball's foreseeable future in Sacramento is, so to speak, a slam dunk.
For those who were eagerly anticipating an imminent re-branding of the Kings as the second coming of the SuperSonics, the news packed a combination punch: There will be no NBA team called the Sonics next season, and it's likely there won't be an NBA team called the Sonics for several more seasons.
Chris Hansen and Steve Ballmer had done a deal to buy the Kings. A new arena plan is in place for both basketball and hockey, ready for groundbreaking south of Safeco Field. If these guys couldn't persuade the NBA of the benefits of putting a traditionally troubled franchise in the hands of billionaires committed to excellence, who can?
But don't forget: Hansen emerged as the driving force behind Seattle's bid to bring back the Sonics months before the Kings loomed as primary candidates for relocation. Then the Maloof Family agreed to sell their team to Hansen and Ballmer, and what once had looked like an agonizing wait for an available franchise turned into something that, well, wasn't so agonizing.
A hazy big picture suddenly had converted into a bright picture with surprising clarity.
Now we're back to the big picture, and it's more hazy than ever.
What next? Expansion is off the table. Fabulous idea, best compromise for all involved, and no chance in hell. So it's time to stop beating that drum, Ringo.
What next after that? There are franchises with tenuous financial profiles.
The small-market Milwaukee Bucks generate the lowest arena revenue in the league. They play home games in the BMO Harris Bradley Center, a downtown venue that probably serves spectators just fine. But it opened all the way back in 1988, which in NBA arena terms translates into a few epochs before prehistoric.
Because Milwaukee's city budget is as unfit to solve the conundrum of paying for schools, parks, libraries, street repair, police and firefighters as anywhere else, there's modest civic momentum toward a replacing or refurbishing the Bradley Center.
Not yet, anyway. As Sacramento has shown, the threat of major pro sports team abandoning its fans is capable of producing last-minute rallies.
(The Bucks are intriguing relocation prospects for another reason: In 1970, prominent Milwaukee businessman Bud Selig led the successful effort to remove the Pilots from Seattle after one expansion season. In the dog-eat-dog culture of pro sports, Seattle's pilfering of the Bucks could be justified as payback.)
Like the Bucks, the Charlotte Bobcats -- losing some $20-million a year under the ownership of Michael Jordan -- bleed green.
Unlike the Bucks, who qualified for the playoffs, the Bobcats are as much a mess on the floor as they are off of it.
But Jordan is proud, and especially proud of his Carolina roots. He does not want basketball fans in Charlotte to speak of him the way basketball fans in Seattle speak of Howard Schultz.
Milwaukee ... Charlotte ... and, as we're talking about the NBA, where traveling has been disregarded since Bob Cousy ran his last fast break on parquet, who's to say another franchise or two, or four, isn't on the relocation radar screen?
At least Sacramento is off the relocation radar screen.
I empathize with those still grieving about the Sonics departure for Oklahoma City in 2008.
I may not feel your pain, but I get it. The lackluster response commissioner David Stern received upon showing up for some saber-rattling in front of the state legislature, along with the wan reaction Stern stirred among King County lawmakers, created the perception the public didn't care about the Sonics.
A lot of people cared, of course, and when Hansen and Ballmer appeared to purchase majority ownership in the Kings, a sentimental attachment to the Sonics' glory days in the NBA engendered a sort of community-chest confrontation between Seattle and Sacramento.
Which was nonsense. Sonics fans are passionate enough about basketball, and knowledgeable enough, to understand how Kings fans share a similar passion and knowledge.
Kings fans won on Monday, so now the search turns elsewhere, to struggling markets in a city where the mayor isn't a former NBA point guard with the savvy instincts of Sacramento's Kevin Johnson.
Again, don't lose sight of the big picture. Chris Hansen was committed to bringing the NBA back to Seattle before the Kings fell in his lap, and he'll be committed going forward. A star wrestler in high school, he's adept at fighting, and fighting fair.
I just wish he liked hockey.

General News
Posted November 19, 2012
|She's Right Back Where She Started
Morgan Martell wanted to be a nurse at All Children's Hospital for as long as she can remember. Her wish became a reality this past January when she was hired as an RNII in the ACH Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU).
"This is essentially my dream job," says Morgan. "I really wanted to work with babies and I wanted to work at All Children's. I'm loving every minute of it. It's exactly what I wanted to do."
No one is more thrilled about Morgan's new career than her grandmother, Marjorie Tomlin. Marjorie has served as a volunteer at the Ronald McDonald House for over 10 years.
Becoming an ACH Nurse is just the latest chapter in her life that has once again crossed paths with All Children's Hospital.
Morgan, you see, was born eight weeks early on Dec. 5, 1988, suffering from Respiratory Distress Syndrome (RDS). "I was sent immediately to All Children's and spent the first three months of my life in the NICU," she said. "All Children's saved my life."
Although she returned to ACH once for some minor surgery when she was ten months old, Morgan had a very healthy childhood. She suffered no physical or cognitive limitations due to her premature birth.
While she was in high school, Morgan ended up back at All Children's. But, this time it had nothing to do with her health. She served as a teen volunteer in the NICU and helped rock babies. She also participated in the hospital's Medical Explorer program where she learned more about the hospital and medical careers. Because of this experience, her passion to become a nurse got even stronger.
After graduating from Northside Christian School, Morgan headed off to the University of South Florida where she earned her Bachelor of Science Degree in Nursing (BSN).
Morgan admits that even though she doesn't remember her own experience as a NICU baby, she can often offer positive encouragement to new moms and dads. "Parents who have not had a premie before are very concerned about the possible long-term health effects that may impact their child. Sometimes I will tell them " If it makes you feel any better, I was a 28 weeker."
"My parents told me stories about their experiences when I was a patient in the NICU," she said. "They told me how the doctors and nurses answered all their questions and gave them the reassurance that I was going to be OK. I think hearing those stories helps me relate better to our NICU families."
When Morgan told her mom and dad that she had applied for a job at All Children's, they were thrilled and couldn't wait to see the new NICU. They were amazed how much things have changed since she was born.
Recently, Morgan had to console a tearful mom who thought her baby might die.
"I tried to convince her that her baby was stable, but she was not buying it. So, I decided to share my story with her in hopes of making her feel better. I told her that I'm living proof you can leave the NICU and do OK. I think hearing that from me made her feel better."
While she is grateful for her personal NICU experience, Morgan said she doesn't tell her story to everyone. If she feels a family will benefit from hearing about her outcome as a NICU graduate, then she shares.
"When I interviewed Morgan for a position in our NICU, she shared her story with me," said Cindy Driscoll RN, BSN, MS, Director of the NICU. "She showed so much desire about wanting to be a NICU Nurse. I really felt this would be an excellent fit for her. Morgan continues to demonstrate compassion and enthusiasm and is very family centered in her care. I think much of that is related to her past experience."
Once parents hear Morgan's story they often open up and have lots of questions. They want to know how she did in school and if she has any long-term limitations. She said parents often feel more reassured seeing me as an example of how things will turn out, because all they see now are a lot of wires, tubes and equipment surrounded their baby.
Morgan admits that helping give families peace of mind is what makes her feel the best at the end of her shift.

Peareth and Demers Lead Lady Falcons to Overnight Lead; Falcon Men Tied with Bluefield State for First at 2011 Pfeiffer Intercollegiate
September 19, 2011
BADIN, N.C. Pfeiffer University stands atop both the mens and womens fields after round one of the 2011 Pfeiffer Intercollegiate golf tournament held at the Badin Inn Resort and Golf Club. Steph Peareth and Chelsea Demers led the way for the Lady Falcons finishing one-two on the womens side while the Pfeiffer men finds themselves deadlocked at 292 with Bluefield State College after the first 18 holes.
Peareth fired a front side 37 finishing one better on the back for a first round 73 to lead the competition on the 5,832-yard, par 71 layout. Demers followed right behind with a pair of 37s totaling 74 good for a second-place tie with Alisiya Klochkova of Brevard College. Dea Mahendra of Lander stands in fourth overall after day one posting a 78 while Brittany Boyd of Limestone is three shots back in fifth. Limestone trails Pfeiffer in the team event by 19 heading into Tuesdays final round.
On the mens side, four Falcons carded 73s to open up Monday while Bluefield State used a pair of 72s by Jeff McGraw and Tyler Browning to anchor their 292. Brevard was led by Kim Koivus one-over-par 71 and Tom Rennies two-over 72 to trail the leaders by just four in the team event. Limestones Cody Robertson and Pfeiffers Tyson Louth lead after day one individually both charting the 6,397-yard, par 70 layout even through 18. Robertson put up a 34-36 while Louth carded the lowest nine of the day with a front side 33.
In overcast, cool weather with temperatures in the mid 60s, the mens field torched Badin Inn with 93 birdies during the opening round. Three holes saw a double-digit birdie production led by 13 on the par-4 12th. Tuesdays final round is set to begin with a 9:00 a.m. shotgun start.

About your stay
Historical on the outside, yet timeless on the inside, Eccleston Square Hotel is an elegant fusion of old and new. Located on an award-winning, pristine garden square bordering Belgravia and Victoria in London, this 'urban cocoon' offers cutting-edge technology in every room. Guests may request any of the hotel services they require, from in-room dining to booking a table at some of London's hottest clubs, via the iPad2. Good sleep and well-being are central to the design concept devised by Olivia Byrne, whose ethos is for guests leave the hotel feeling better than they did when they arrived.
A High-tech Georgian Hideaway
In the historic London Borough of Westminster, there's nothing unusual about finding a hotel inside a grand townhouse. What is unusual is beyond the Georgian façade that fronts Eccleston Square Hotel, the entire inner workings of the building have been carefully renovated and enhanced to the highest modern standards. Where there were once staid furnishings and carpeted floors, there are now smooth monochrome tiles and decadent black crystal chandeliers. But these changes don't mean that number 37 Eccleston Square has lost its identity. Traditional afternoon tea is served in the elegantly simplistic lounge, which features custom-made studded tub chairs, an open fireplace and silk finished walls.
Urban Cocoons
Huge windows and oversized mirrors create an airy sense of space, enhanced by light grey tones found throughout the soft interiors. Equipped with revolutionary gadgets, under-floor water heating, and sleep-inducing technologies like Hästens massage beds, Eccelston Square's private quarters act as sensual inner-city cocoons to relax and recharge.
Olivia Byrne
After graduating from the venerated hospitality school École hôtelière de Lausanne, Olivia Byrne became director of Eccleston Square Hotel, making her the youngest owner and general manager of a five-star hotel in London. With youth comes a keen understanding of the relationship between technology and well-being: beds that massage guests to sleep are only one of many hi-tech comforts.

NORFOLK-- The Navy's digitized, blue and gray camouflage uniform, worn every day by many of the service's more than 300,000 officers and enlisted personnel, have been found to be highly flammable.
The Navy Clothing and Textile Research Facility conducted tests last October on the Type One Navy Working Uniform.
The group found the garments, made of a 50/50 blend of cotton and polyester, will 'burn robustly until completely consumed.'
The results of the tests were released last month.
'That kind of does make me nervous because being around the wrong material can definitely be an issue,' said Personnel Specialist Second Class Jerome Graves.
Graves added, 'As far as I'm concerned, until I'm directed or told otherwise, I'll wear this uniform until they come up with a new one that is less flammable.'
Navy Chief of Information Rear Admiral John Kirby said that the NWU's, as they're called, were never intended to be flame retardant and that the 50/50 cotton-polyester blend was decided upon to meet sailor's requests for uniforms that would provide comfort, ease of wear and durability.
However, now that the results are known, Kirby feels action is necessary. 'It would be imprudent, in fact, irresponsible, for us not to take a look at those results and ask ourselves a very tough question, do we need to change the way we're outfitting sailors?' Kirby said.

Global Warming
Global Warming
Global warming is an average increase in the temperature of the atmosphere near the Earth's surface and in the troposphere, which can contribute to changes in global climate patterns. Global warming can occur from a variety of causes, both natural and human induced. In common usage, "global warming" often refers to the warming that can occur as a result of increased emissions of greenhouse gases from human activities.
According to the National Acadamies Press, "The average temperature of the Earth's surface increased by about 1.4 °F (0.8 °C) over the past 100 years, with about 1.0 °F (0.6 °C) of this warming occurring over just the past three decades."
The term "climate change" is often used interchangeably with the term "global warming," but according to the National Academy of Sciences, "the phrase 'climate change' is growing in preferred use to 'global warming' because it helps convey that there are [other] changes in addition to rising temperatures."

BAYBORO – While the Pamlico Hurricane defense was trying to catch a Northampton County Amtrak train named Keion Crossen all night - the Hurricanes had a freight train of their own in junior Tony Credle.
Credle powered through the Jaguar defense, racking up 145 rushing yards on just 14 carries in a thrilling 28-21 Pamlico victory.
"(Northampton) is a heck of a football team and No. 10 (Crossen) is as good as advertised and if somebody doesn't offer that kid, they're crazy," Pamlico coach Kevin Yost said.
"We stressed mistake-free football and we didn't do it, but we made enough plays to win the game," Yost said.
Locked in an airtight 21-21 tie in the fourth quarter, Pamlico starting quarterback Josiah Simmons went down with an injury, allowing the original starter, senior Naquan Gibbs to enter the game under center.
Gibbs was seeing his first action since suffering a broken clavicle almost a month ago versus Lejeune.
The senior led a drive with 7:40 showing on the clock that ended with a picturesque toss to D.J. Lewis at the 4-yard line and a Gibbs 4-yard touchdown run a play later that turned out to be the clincher.
"I can't say enough about Josiah tonight and then for Naquan to come in and not miss a beat and get it done down the stretch was awesome," Yost said. "These kids are just so resilient. They've worked for this since February and wanted it so long. Gah-lee what a game!"
Credle not only made his presence felt on offense running the football, but recovered two Northampton fumbles and sacked Crossen on fourth-and-4 with 3:20 remaining in the game.
"Something about the spirit that we had in this game just pumped me up for tonight and made me run my hardest," Credle said. "On the sack, I saw they lined up in Y-splits and rushed the gap thinking I could get to him (Crossen) and I had enough speed to get him."
The Hurricanes did have three turnovers (two interceptions and one fumble), but were equaled by Northampton's three lost fumbles.
"I hate it for the kids, you know, I'll be around to coach again for most of my seniors this was their last run, so I hate it so bad for them," Privott said. "It's hard to win on the road in the playoffs and traveling to an area we aren't used to, but Coach (Yost) did a great job with strategy not kicking to Keion and Pamlico has a very good team and made more plays than us tonight."
Crossen, the senior quarterback for Northampton, rushed for 171 yards on 22 carries in a losing effort.
Fighting back the tears after the loss, Crossen had compliments for Pamlico and heartache for his teammates.
"Pamlico is a good team, next to Tarboro, probably one of the best defense we've seen," Crossen said. "We had dreams and hopes of winning a state championship but I guess it ends here."
Northampton concludes its season at 9-4, while Pamlico improves to 9-4 and will travel to No. 1 seed and undefeated Plymouth next Friday night.
The Vikings have outscored their opponents in the opening two rounds of the playoffs 74-0, but Yost said his guys will be up for the challenge.
"We'll have to play our absolute best to beat them, but to be the man, you have to beat the man," Yost said. "We'll practice well this week and prepare well and let it all hang out next week."
