Thread: Bond No. 9
Sometimes, when a Goliath seeks to stomp on a little David, you can only have a sense of humor. Sure, when Lizz Zorn received a letter threatening litigation if she continued to use the name "Peace on Earth" for one of her perfumes http://parfumemoderne.blogspot.com/2...-on-earth.html
I received a similar letter last year for my perfume "Riverside." Just warning any perfumers reading this you better get clearance from Laurice Rahme et al before you launch a perfume. Funny, though, I haven't heard of her going after Avon's Peace perfume, or any of a huge number of other bigger companies using Peace or Riverside in the names. Oh, just realized I was the only one besides Bond No. 9 using the name.
Well, it's all OK in the end. Liz refuses to go to war over Peace. I discontinued Riverside and sent a zingy letter to the attorney because she said Rahme had "notoriety" in her letter. LOL.
Sometimes David just laughs at Goliath and moves on.
PS I'm not real familiar with forum rules -- can this be posted in female fragrance?

This has made me incredibly angry. I hope I did my part in spreading the word:
More proof that Bond no.9 is not really concerned with making quality product - just making money.
I've always viewed Bond as an overhyped line "produced" by a bunch of snooty rich women that have their heads so far up their asses that they can't see that their company and products suck.
They've released 32 fragrances in four years, all of which try and capitalize on some aspect of the glitz and glamour of New York city. The bottles look like cheap carnival prizes and just about every blend is an annoying mess.
Hey Bond - Fuck you.
I'm getting more and more fired up over this by the minute.
Hey, Laurice - If you're worth half the bag of vomit your scents seem to be inspired by, then you're reading this post, as the fragrance afficionado you are...but I highly doubt it. But if you are, then you should be coming after ME instead, because from now on, I'm going to do my absolute best to slander your company's reputation - not that I could do much better at this than YOU already are. You and your fragrances are a wothless, uninspired byproduct of the industry, and represent all that is soulless and wrong about modern culture.
Just in case anyone else feels as strongly as I do about this, I'm going to post (relay) this telephone number here, so that you may share your feelings with the people responsible for this ridiculous mess.
Laurice Rahme's extension is 12.
I just hung up from leaving a message for her about what uninspired crap her fragrances are and how pathetic her company is for going after the little guy like this. I told her that she's got her head up her ass and I hope she goes out of business.
Sorry. Sometimes the wrong button gets pushed, and this "ugly side" of me can come out.

Wow, totally ridiculous.
Peace is such a generic word. Considering most of Bond's line is named after places, streets, neighborhoods, and popular culture of NYC they have no business going after anyone for originality of a name.
Count me in amongst the Bond-hating band. Utterly offensive behaviour. A bully, quite obviously.
Gross and detestable behavior on the part of a company that has not had an original idea since its inception.
Should NYC and the UN get in touch with Laurice Rahme and get some kind of a guarantee that their continued use of these names and phrases will be litigation free?
This sort of lunacy is contemptible.
Hopefully her next release will be called "Bellvue" after a few weeks stay at their behavioral health unit.

Perhaps the estate of Leonard Bernstein oughta go after Laurice for her use of the name "West Side."
Or perhaps Givenchy ought to sue her for having blatantly ripped off the old Gentleman formula in the making of H.O.T. Always.

It's all a bit cheeky coming from a company that ripped off several Creed scents. Can't say it surprises me the way these companies bully the smaller outfits though as you read about cases like this in all sorts of places (eg. the ebay vs perfume bay case). So did they buy the rights to use the word peace in fragrance marketing from Kenzo then (thinking of Time For Peace here)?
On a lighter note - I think you should tell them to Peace Off
Wow... What douchebags - incredible. And yes it is hardly surprising
that it´s a company like Bond no 9 that pursues this type of behaviour.
Last time I checked they based about 75% of their portfolio n Creed scents.
Funny how they´re taking legal action in against copying...
Pathetic. Was never impressed by most of their stuff and count me in
as well in never purchasing any of it in the future.
Here´s their contact:
[email protected]
I really think people should e-mail them and explain that this type
of behaviour is far from okay.

Sometimes the best way to deal with overweening hubris like this is not to preach in righteous indignation.
Often it's best to just open open a big ole can of Campbells Mockity-Mock with Beans. Seriously, let the media outlets you know of know about it - wherever the NYC retail or social "scene" is covered. What of the more sophisticated outlets isn't going to at least get a good staff laugh over the thing - if not disseminating the information in suitably snarky tones to a greater audience? Will Mme Rahme be able to hold her head up walking down the street if whoever has the contacts or resources to marshal it up, can actually push the point'n'laugh train out of the station?
There are some things best served up nicely chilled with snark-cubes.
I've tipped racked.com (covers the NYC retail scene) as well as Jezebel.com (snarkaliciously covers fashion/celebrity/etc) already. We'll see if they decide to pick it up. I'd also like to see more of the mainstream fragrance bloggers say something as well. Everyone but everyone spoke up when the decant banhammer fell on ebay..... just sayin' .......

Buddhist monks and Nirvana-seekers beware, "peace" is no longer available to the public to be used. (Laurice Rahmes, please don't sue me for typing those letters in succession!!!!)
Someone alert Hollywood -- for James Bond will have a fit when he realizes his manly name is now the butt of a shitty line of fragrances, whose self-image is so pretentious and ego is so catastrophically huge, that the wallets of its creators have to be protected by bullshit legal threats over a word like "Peace" in a scent. You know, I was seriously going to buy some samples of B#9 fragrances, but now I'm not going to. I don't want to wear the low-class creations of snobby, egotistical bitches. I'll leave them a voicemail too.
I appreciate strong-willed business women but if this is true, then Rahme has gone too far.
I always thought Rahme should go out on a date with Lutens....its a match made in narcissistic heaven.
Someone needs to come out with a fragrance called "Bond Street," which itself would be a copy of one of B#9's facsimiles. Before you know it, you'll have Rahme up your ass with lawyers, but go to trial and contest that it's simply named after the street, just like Bond's products (unless of course, they've already copyrighted every street name and area of NYC). If I had the money, I'd do this myself.
I can't say Bond's fragrances are all bad, in fact, I quite like New Haarlem and a few others. The problem is, nothing about these fragrances scream "quality" besides their slightly longer longevity. I simply can't justify $200 on a bottle of New Haarlem, but I have no problem spending that on Creed's Acier Aluminum (okay, I can get that a bit cheaper) or Malle's Musc Ravageur. Both of those scents have quality and originality in spades. Bond is alright, but it's got neither of those qualities.
But after this, I'd only have Bond in my collection if it were given to me.
Or better yet: Peace on Bond St.

Thanks for bringing this to our attention, Anya.
I've tried some of the Bond scents at Saks since they first arrived, and each time I've concluded that they're poorly blended and hastily conceived (fine oils notwithstanding). Nonetheless, I always kept an open mind that maybe someday there'd be one I'd get excited about. But over time, I've found more and more qualities about Ms. Rahme that have lessened by interest in Bond - the rip-offs of Creed fragrances, the sales of grey market Creeds to make Creed appear cheap, the frequent, endless releases and counter clutter at Saks, and the increasingly garish bottles. The presence of Bond at Saks, in fact, is the main reason Creed does not offer their LEs (Fleurs de Gardenia, Amalfi Flowers) to most Saks stores, which is a great disappointment to those of us who'd love to smell them. This legal claim is finally enough to make me ignore the Bond line forever. Besides, it's disgusting how many fine fragrance lines Saks discontinued to make room for the tacky and gimmicky Bond. I'm probably going to ignore Saks too, while I'm at it, until they choose to be the quality, discerning department store they once were.

As we speak Laurice Rahme is going to sue all of us and all bloggers and mainstream media types who dare mention her and the word sue in the same sentence. Use it twice and your children will be sued.

Just a word regarding Fox News and their proposition that the phrase "Fair and Balanced" was theirs exclusively. They sued and if I'm not mistaken were laughed out of court by the judge as their lawyer read his opening argument.
Tsssk, going to war for making use of the word 'peace', how sick is this world anyway..?
Bond's PR is trying to do some damage control, but instead they're digging themselves a deeper hole:
Collectors of Colt Peacemaker revolvers which were produced between 1873 and 1941 should expect instructions on where to bring their weapons so that a bulldozer may roll them back into sheets and not sully the name Peace on Earth. Did someone mention Bing Crosby's estate?
I would not be surprised if this whole Bond no. 9 bizz is based on some clever use of gas chromatography techniques.
I know thanks sound strange in a situation like this, but thank you for bringing this to our attention.

You know, and just today i thought i'd like to get my gf and me into some of Bond's stuff, to sort of broaden our frag horizons.
I'm so glad i read this post. This kind of corporate bullying and imperial enterprising must stop. And the only way to make a tangible impact is to refuse to endorse it by buying from ruthless and money-hungry companies like Bond.
Peep this, Laurice Rahme: You just lost a potential customer over your greedy BS. Do us all a favour and PEACE THE FUCK OUT.
Creed's better anyway. Sue me.
Any time I ever speak to someone about Bond from now on, it will be unfavorable review.

Peace out, as Lizz always says (she and I are good friends, BTW, so we are in contact behind the scenes as the saga continues, just staying calm and sitting back and watching the show.)
Thank you, everyone, for your insights. I know you need not support us directly in this, we're actually way beyond caring what Bond does, but the public perspective is heartening.
Maybe the attorney who wrote me and deemed Rahme as having achieved "notoriety" was psychic ;-)

Ahh Bond No. 9, they were the house i loved to hate even before this nonsense!
Still, I really do like Aurelien Guichard's Chinatown and Michel Almairac's Fire Island... and the fact I can pick up Creed at 50% off at one of Bond's Madison Avenue shops. how long are they going to keep up the "Creed Liquidation", as the sign in the window states? it's been YEARS! Laurice seems to be in permanent liquidation mode of anyone who doesn't see things her way.

Sending BEMs scuttling back to Betelgeuse with my fierce fumage!
Ms. Rahme must have little confidence in the quality of her product, if she has to resort to this.
From the follow-up response from the Bond Guys:
Yes, she came up with the idea all on her own. I'm sure it had nothing to do with Creed's Love in White and it's whole charity thing. Go ahead, Laurice, keep telling everyone how it's important to protect your "original" ideas when they are nearly all clones.wo Springs ago she had the idea to launch a Peace fragrance at the United Nations and donate to UNICEF for that first year. Since 2007, the donations have been to Seeds of Peace (http://seedsofpeace.org/), and Laurice continues to donate for Peace. The Scent of Peace is a top selling fragrance which allows us to donate a large amount of money to charity, and we're very pleased

I would personally like to take a vow to NOT support the above mentioned company. Hey, I live in Mexico, so I think I can say...Bond No.9 without fear of being sued.
We can correct this with out wallets. Let's support real "Peace" lovers (like Liz Zorn) and not support those that don't deserve our money.
Anyone else want to take the vow?
I'm sure many of you have noticed that Bond No. 9 is guilty for "remixing" fragrances that already exist and releasing them as their own. In fact, the word "remixing" is rather conservative - I'd go as far as to call it plagiarism. At least they were smart about it: most of Bond No. 9's "unoriginal" fragrances are based on top sellers or fragrances with cult followings...
Some Bond No. 9 fragrances that I've noticed have ripped off other fragrances:
Scent of Peace: Light Blue by D & G
Wall Street: Erolfa/Millesime Imperial by Creed
Chez Bond: Green Irish Tweed by Creed
New Haarlem: Rochas Man (and by the same perfumer too! ie. Maurice Roucel)
Nuits de Noho: Angel by Thierry Mugler
Hamptons: Silver Mountain Water by Creed
On the other hand, some fragrances by Bond No. 9, like West Side, Coney Island and Chinatown are pretty unique and original. Or am I wrong? Are these fragrances (or others from Bond No. 9) also just rip-offs of other previous releases I haven't had the chance to smell?
If there's one thing that sours me to a house, it is blatant plagiarism.
Montale has done it, although theirs seem to have at least enough tweaks to make it slightly different or worth investigating to fans of the original. Bond has (supposedly) done it, as you mentioned in all the examples above, although I am not familiar enough to say for certain. It seems that Gianni Campagna did it as well with their eponymous EDT, another riff on TdH. Xerjoff has done it, too, with their Oesel being 95% identical to Fleur du Male (I skin tested these side by side) and Mefisto about 85% identical to SMW (or maybe Hamptons, too?)

I won't disagree that there are similarities in the pairings you mention, but to my mind (and nose) they are different enough to beat a plagiarism rap on all pairs mentioned. Similar styles, yes, but no more than that. I wouldn't even say unoriginal. Maybe just following a well-worn path on some. And I find a few, like Riverside Drive, very original. I agree that the New Haarlem / Rochas Man pair is pretty blatant similarity, but coffee is coffee is coffee, and you pretty much can't do a coffee gourmand any more without ripping off Starbucks one way or another.
Still, you have a valid point that Bond plays it safe or somewhat forgettable on many frags, and rarely takes big chances, IMO. You can almost always find a prior success story which points the same way. Is that smart or crass? I would say smart, but sometimes I wish they would take more risks.
You forgot: Bleecker Street: Ralph Lauren Purple Label
Nouveau Bowery: Jo Malone Lime, Basil & Mandarin
But I get what you're saying...
Hi, I'm William | My Swap Thread
remember guys the president of bond was the former president of creed
I have been thinking about this. Several economic crisis had an impact on purchasing power thus the market is full of knock offs and, surprise, some of them are darn good, sometimes I would say even better than the original ones. Take Paco Rabanne pour Homme: the present-day version of the original PRpH can't be compared to the old one for this one is quite lame. Well, some local knock offs are in some way reminiscent of the original formula for they can reproduce quite faithfully the dirty / sexy note so prevalent in the original one. This means that my knock - off version of PRpH is quite good, albeit less complex though. I found some of them diverge distinctly from the original ones in a good way. Or better still, some that are not sold as knock offs are made according to a reference that you can identify in any other stage of the scent's evolution - I guess the principle that states that imitation is the best way of flattering is alive and kicking in the perfume industry on a global basis.
So, the point would be: making a knock-off, twicking it for the better and selling it under a high - end marketing mix (claim a superior product, sell it in exclusive stores, charge a very high price, and if resources are available, advertise in media targetted to the rich) would make an excellent business. I frankly think that some niche houses are working under this scheme - months ago, when trying Creed's Himalaya and Green Irish Tweed I realized they were very similar to Paco Rabanne's XS and Davidoff's Cool Water. I would not be surprised if Bond does the same.
Luckily, for the discerning perfumista, this, sooner or later, comes to be evident.
I'm with SculptureOfSoul in that I think Bond gets a bad rap for doing something that pretty much everyone in the industry does. Creed has been "remixing" GIT for 25 years now. JC Ellena has been "remixing" Declaration for years now. 90% of the vetiver scents out there "remix" Guerlain's Vetiver, which is supposedly just a "remix" of Givenchy's. Almost every niche house has a green lily/cucumber/aloe fruity floral. And most of them have some sort of cedar incense, too.
To be honest, there are very few original ideas in perfumery, it would seem. To take it a step further, according to Burr, mainstream fragrances are basically required to smell "familiar", meaning that to some extent, every mass release is a "remix" of familiar notes.
For miscellaneous reasons, perfumistas seem to dislike Latrice, the head of Bond, so she gets a lot of crap thrown at her that could easily be applied to the industry as a whole (focus on bottles instead of quality juice, perfume as a commodity instead of art, ridiculous markups, exorbitantly high prices for the sake of luxury marketing, etc)
Has everyone checked out my Top 100 Blog??
On the other hand, it's quite an ironic situation, because this constant remixing (or plagiarism!) isn't always the biggest money maker afterall; many of the currently top-selling fragrances around the world are the ones that were risky and revolutionary - the fragrances that smelled like nothing else out there when they were first released (Le Male, Aqua di Gio, Angel, Light Blue, Terre d'Hermes, Cool Water, Narciso Rodriguez for Her, Bulgari au The Vert, etc; athough that doesn't mean the market isn't flooded with imitations now). So even though Bond No. 9 is selling out, it's not making all the money it could have, if it had some creative balls. I think that with time, Bond No. 9 will die out and be exposed for what it is - overpriced juice that's 90% the same as other designer fragrances out there (that are just as good). Furthermore, Bond No. 9 has now released so many fragrances that they seem to have buried themselves in their own shit, so to speak. I haven't seen much enthusiasm at all for most of their recent releases here on BN.
In the end, plagiarism (call it what you want to call it) is just negative in most respects.
Anyway, let's get back to topic here: So what else has Bond No. 9 blatantly copied?
The first Creed store in the US - 9 Bond St, NY
whats new about this?!
Guerlain and Creed has done it..so why would it be such a big deal....
I think each or most house should aspire to have its own offering of a chypre, its own fougere offering, its own oriental, its own vetiver, and so on with citrus or floral, animalistic, or lavender, or whatever more standard category, but I too find the copy cat and "plagiarized" scents (for lack of a better term) very distasteful.
That girl, that bottle, that mattress and me.
L`Aventurier - you talk about perfumery as the art, and Bond #9 just call it business.
That`s the difference.
Nobody blames Toyota, Nissan etc. for taking Jeep idea "car off-road 4x4"
And when some people called it plagiarism - others called it "art-movement"
Actually I`m not a fan of Bond #9, and I never bought it. I believe never will buy.
And that`s is the best way to stop plagiarism - or cheer up the creativity of perfume brands.
Vetiver The Great!!!
I don't think Bond is the lone culprit. For example, there have been numerous ripoffs/clones/variations/versions of Acqua di Gio made by many different houses.

This review is outdated. Information may be inaccurate.
The women on BBW Forever definitely have a few extra pounds on them. They mostly appear to be amateur and the content is from Eastern Europe given the accents and languages spoken (when they don't speak English).
With only 43 videos it won't take you forever to get through all the movies on BBWForever. However, given how fat some of the chicks are, it could seem like their chub goes on forever when you see them naked. Maybe I'm thinking too hard about the "forever" when the "BBW" is the part that brought you here.
The scenes don't have storylines, but they tend to vary in their settings, with some shot inside and some outside. A few were even filmed on a farm with pigs, cows and lambs in the background, including one that has a fatty in a pig pen getting slammed by a dude in a pig mask. It appears as though the collection is exclusive, so it has that going for it.
The design and navigation are good and according to the dates on the scenes, they are updating. That said, it's been over 30 days since the last movie was posted and the website has gone long stretches without adding anything new in the past, so there's no real way to know when it'll be giving us new material.
Each video can streamed on the site in an embedded player and downloaded in a few MP4 formats, the best of which offers good-quality playback. The movies all come with vid caps and there are three sets of photos for you to look through as well. They are high-res and can be downloaded in Zip files.
As a member, you get access to the other "channels" in the Mega Site Pass network, such as All Interracial, DP Latinas and Round Juicy Butts. You can also check out lots of additional vids and pics, including many with more fatties. The bonus material really adds a lot of value to a membership.
If you love chicks with a lot more meat on them, there's a pretty good chance that you'll enjoy BBW Forever. It could certainly update more often, but the many extras and low price tag will help you decide.
* Please include a pro and a con about the site. Balance is essential in making a comment worthwhile. Scores without comments will be deleted.
* Watch out for ratings of zero and 100. In our opinion, there is no such thing as a site that is absolutely perfect or completely worthless.

She added how the couple — Teresa faces 27 months of jail, Joe 46 months — made of "mockery" of their $10 million bankruptcy on "national television" by flaunting their lavish spending habits.
Declaring that Teresa would be a "disastrous client," Feldman also said that her felony indictments were inevitable.
She said, "They are continuing to make light out of it instead of dumbing down and shutting up."

Feldman surmised that both Teresa and Joe, 43, were dealing with "severe issues here" which, she said, included "tremendous denial" and a "serious mental health issue with both of them."
The publicist, who has since gone on to direct the pair's appearances and interviews, said she wanted to get a "psychological evaluation" for Teresa, if she were to be hired.
"There is something wrong with her and she needs to go into some sort of treatment," Feldman said.
"I am not saying substance abuse treatment because. That is not her issue. But there is something wrong with her thinking and until you correct her thinking you cannot really work with it."

MANCHESTER: Manchester City moved into second place in the English Premier League on Sunday with a 1-0 win over Aston Villa.
Michael Johnson scored in the 48th minute with a diagonal shot while under pressure from two Villa defenders.
John Carew could have equalised soon after Johnson's goal, but he missed a close-range header. Villa striker Luke Moore also had a goal disallowed in the 73rd.
"I think we deserved to win," Manchester City manager Sven-Goran Eriksson said. "We are not scoring a lot of goals but as long as we win 1-0 I am very happy."
The win kept City's perfect home record of three wins and helped the club coached by the former England manager move up six places. Villa, which had beaten Chelsea 2-0 in its previous game, had won its three previous matches in all competitions. It stayed in 11th place. "We felt, coming on the back of the Chelsea result, we had plenty of confidence — but it didn't work out for us," Villa manager Martin O'Neill said. "We should have done better today. We were our own worst enemies." — AP

Mary Lisbeth D'Amico | September 24, 2013 | Comments
Silicon Valley Startup, AdStage, has launched a self-service platform designed to help small and medium sized businesses manage and analyze digital ad campaigns across search, social, mobile and display.
Silicon Valley Startup, AdStage, has launched a self-service platform designed to help small and medium sized businesses manage and analyze digital ad campaigns across search, social, mobile and display. The product is geared to companies with budgets of between $1,000 and $100,000 a month, a group that generally cannot afford to have an agency manage their campaigns and has been neglected by the market, according to the company.
"There are a bunch of products out there for the top 1 percent of spends, but the mass market has been left behind," Sahil Jain, chief executive and co-founder of AdStage, told ClickZ in an interview during AdWeek 2013. Those with smaller budgets have been forced to manage all these campaigns separately using native tools, which can be both mystifying and time consuming. "Everything after Google is a black box," says Jain.
The new platform is available, with the first five apps included free, as a beta for $99 per month with a free trial. It builds on AdStage's first product, AdStage Express, designed to help novice companies build, manage and optimize online ad campaigns across Google, Bing, Facebook and LinkedIn over one interface. Since AdStage Express' launch in March, it that has garnered 2,600 signups, which includes customers such as Retargeter and Arizona State University, Jain says.
AdStage Express will be included as an app within in the larger platform. New features, provided via partner apps, will include Facebook retargeting, landing page optimization, competitive intelligence, banner ad creation and stock image libraries. Among the partners that announced they would integrate their offerings into the platform today were Unbounce, Bigstock, Retargeter and Getty Images.
Some 380 businesses have already signed on to beta test the new, expanded platform.
"The biggest pain point for companies is time management," says Jain. As the number of ad formats and networks continues to grow, managing multiple campaigns has become increasingly complex, requiring marketers to juggle between network dashboards, spreadsheets and desktop editors, the company notes.
Beyond that Jain says he want to help companies become better at advertising. AdStage provides self-service customers with a resource center where they can get answers to their questions, for example.
"We focus on the user experience and design. Our tools are contextual, and talk to you in layman's terms, with no jargon."
Jain, a serial entrepreneur who dropped out of high school to join Yahoo, says the inspiration for AdStage came as he was attempting to manage ad campaigns for his first startup, Trigger.io, which he founded at age 20.
"We had a $3000 to $5000 monthly ad budget for running ad campaigns over Google, Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter, Stack Overflow and Reddit. We were running them all separately and couldn't afford an agency to help us. It was frustrating, and I wanted to build this (AdStage) to solve my problem."
Trigger.io is a mobile startup that was built with the idea of building one framework upon which all mobile apps could be created, and AdStage takes that same idea to the realm of digital advertising, according to Jain.
The startup has garnered $1.53 million in funding from 1.53M from Freestyle Capital, Quest VP, Dave McClure/500S, Digital Garage, LAUNCH Fund, XG Ventures, Mark Mullen, and Stewart Alsop.

'The Last Resort' is a wonderfully cozy vacation home nestled on the bluffs of Echo Lake, deep in the Green Mountains in Ludlow, VT. Conveniently located between Okemo, Killington and Bear Creek Ski Areas. A 100 yard walk to the properties lake front beach on the pristine Echo Lake. Only a few minutes drive from the ski slopes, beautiful golf courses, antique shops and fine dining. A short walk from the state park offering paddle boats, canoeing and kayaking. Whether your hobbies include biking, hiking, skiing, snowmobiling, golfing, leaf peeping, swimming, antiquing, fishing, boating or just relaxing, this property offers it all.
'The Last Resort' is a modern home featuring all the amenities one expects and demands with an open floor plan with a large family room, fully equipped kitchen and family game room. Off the family room, facing the lake is a beautiful wrap around deck overlooking a large yard with fire pit and lake views. Perfect for weekenders or seasonal rentals.
Great golfing at Okemo Valley less than 5 miles away along with many other golf courses in the area.
The Last Resort is everything you can ask for for a true "Vermont' get away!! We rented with a group of 12 and had a blast....lots of space,great kitchen,big open great room,and private bedrooms.Tons of stuff to do,snowshoe,X country skiing,skating or just hanging out with friends.The owners were great to work with and available for questions and area suggestions.We are already planning our next week at "The Last Resort"
We truly loved our short stay at this awesome vacation rental. Although, we didn't need a lot of room the house was very spacious and I can see us returning with more family and friends in the future. The location was great, so easy to get to yet tucked away and right on the lake. It was really great having our own private sandy beach with everything we needed (kayaks, paddle boards, canoe, beach toys for the kids, chairs, picnic table and of course the trampoline float). The beach is shared with two other houses but only one family was there and they were very delightful. Even when all three homes are filled, there will be plenty of room on the beach.
The owner Jeanne was great to work with and so accommodating. I also want to add that the house was spotless when we arrived. The neighbors we met during our walks were very nice too. We will definitely return to this rental during the summer and winter months.
The Smith's from Glosta
This is our second year staying at this property and we never go to the same place twice. We like it for it's comforts- a big grassy lawn area, fire pit, access to the lake, lake activities such as kayaking, paddle boarding, fishing, and jumping on the water trampoline to name just a few. The kids love it here and there are usually other kids around to play with. The kitchen is well stocked and the bedrooms are very comfortable. We highly recommend this house!
We had 3 families (6 adults, 6 kids), and this house fit us all comfortably. Jeanne was very easy to work with. The kids loved the downstairs bunk room and play area, allowing us adults some "alone" time to relax after a hard day of skiing. The house is just about 10 minutes to the main lodge at Okemo, maybe 5 to Jackson Gore. Good size kitchen and open floor plan on main level.
Two things to be aware of:
1) There is only one shower. The other bathroom just has a jacuzzi tub, albeit with a shower hand held.
2) The wifi Internet router is in the house next door, which can limit connectivity. We only seemed to get access in living room, and only early in the day.
Very relaxing weekend, house was so cozy and well equipped! owner was extremely helpful ..Highly recommended!
We can't say enough about the owners and their daughter Christina. They were just plain nice. The house is everything you would expect and more. It was clean and up to date with all the usual amenities,etc. Great sitting area outsdie with a fire pit that actually makes you want to sit around it. The yard has plenty of room and after we set up the volleyball net, Christina pretty much took the boys to school. The only downfall that I can see is if your not so sure on your feet. The walk down the hill to the lake is pretty steep, but there are new stairs recently installed. All I can say is we loved the house nad the location period. A good time was had by all!

Village and town boards close public hearing on annexation.
In another standing room only meeting upstairs at the municipal building, village and town residents expressed their concerns by reading letters, arguing philosophy or just asking questions about details that have yet to be addressed. Petitions were presented to the boards as well as polls with results showing 10 to 1 against. After granting extra days for the public hearing preceding the Route 20 annexation vote, the Cazenovia Town and Village Boards have 90 days to make their decision.
"I recognize there's a lot of emotion on this debate. I hope the boards appreciate our effort," Rob Conner said. "What this all demonstrates is a community wide concern over this issue."
The Cazenovia Preservation Foundation has been defending its annexation proposal, but members complained that they were left out of the process. Feeling out of the loop, some questioned the timing of the sale of the land.
"This particular piece of property has come up over and over," said CPF member Richard Hubbard. "There was a fundraiser to stop a project like WalMart. They might ask their own membership for some input on some of these decisions."
Pioneer Company, with a conceptual design that indicates a Price Chopper as the anchor store in a mixed residential and commercial development, defended the research to they've done at such an early first step juncture. They addressed storm water and sewer issues claiming there wouldn't be any effect on the aquifer, which sits beneath most of the town and is the public water supply.
"If 16 of the 54 developed acreage will be blacktop," Russ Brownback said, "I find it difficult to find that this project has satisfactorily supplied enough environmental information to move forward on annexation."
Sparky Christakos asked if any studies were done to see if the community could realistically support another supermarket, bank, drugstore while maintaining a thriving downtown business district. As yet, there have been no studies.

Oral health of residents in homes needs more attention.
A team of researchers from the Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology and the Institute of Neuroscience at the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona has discovered that tetanus toxin, which causes tetanus, could be extremely useful as a therapy against psychological disorders such as depression, anxiety and anorexia, and to slow the progress of neurodegenerative disorders such as Parkinson's disease.
Health professionals led by a cancer specialist from the University of Edinburgh have put forward the case for finding new and fairer ways to assess the value of treatments for patients who will eventually die from their condition. Writing in the current edition of the British Medical Journal (10 June, 2005) the experts argue that this issue should be explored because of its impact on national decisions about which new treatments are funded.
Research carried out with the participation of the University of Navarra has shown how a determinate molecule helps an important pathogen, Brucella abortus, escape destruction within the cells charged with eliminating infectious agents (macrophages). This research has been published in Nature Immunology scientific magazine.

Medicare's quality improvement organizations are charged with improving the medical care of Medicare beneficiaries. A new study by researchers at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health reports that hospitals that actively participate with these quality improvement organizations do not consistently show any greater improvement than hospitals that do not.
Hospitals that participate with the quality improvement organization (QIO) program are not more likely to show improvement on quality indicators than hospitals that do not participate, according to a study in the June 15 issue of JAMA.
When combined with diet, exercise and behavioral therapy, orlistat, a drug that decreases fat absorption, appears helpful for improving weight management in obese adolescents, compared with placebo, according to an article in the June 15 issue of JAMA.

"Tried the Get A Grip clip last night. Unfortunately the clip does not have enough grip to hold on to to the square steel of the front frame. I did however use it on the hand grip handle under the canopy to hold my stick. I will be purchasing the large plastic clip style and this will be my backup."RP of Bismarck, ND
"Loved it so much I had to give some to friends!"KP of Costa Mesa, CA
"I love this thing. I use it golfing, fishing, shooting. I'm lost with out it. Getting another one."MC of COUNCIL BLUFFS, IA
"I used one of these for a little while, until my cigar went missing along with one of the 2 clips. The rivet broke and all I had left hanging on the front post of the cart was the other clip. I've got one of the "Plastic" ones that everyone seems to be dissing. I've had it for yrs. works fine. Do however take your label maker and put your name and phone number on the thing so if you forget it on the cart maybe one of the cart guys will call you and save it for you."TM of AUGUSTA, GA
"I use this on my Harley Streetglide handlebar. It works great, I smoke while riding the Harley, and my stick clips right where I need it..."RB of Bonita Springs, FL
"My girlfriend got me one of these and I thought to myself, "What the heck?" But after using it through a round of golf I'm a believer! This thing works great! Trying to buy an extra 1 and 1 for a friend on MMAO! Wish me luck! P.S. They're still worth the $$$$$"CR of Richmond, KY
"Best clip I've ever used! But get to know the cart boys if you drink while playing golf! I've forgotten mine 3 times already! Did I mention that I play 3-4 times a week 18-36 holes with my brothers,enjoying our cigars and drinks? Just trying to justify! BOTTOM LINE... GREAT CIGAR HOLDER."CR of Richmond, KY
"I love this little gadget."EW of Virginia Beach, VA
"Great holder for the golf course or anyplace where you're on the go and need someplace to rest your cigar for a few minutes."JE of Potomac Falls, VA
"Great to have. I bought one to have at work and I keep the other at home. The clips are joined with a hex screw. The clips are not tightly fastened to each other and cannot be tightened any further. It is a strong device, but be warned, the clips swivel very freely. I used a simple remedy to keep them tight so they would not swivel...I wrapped a rubber-band around the connection point in-between the clips to give it tension. Worked like a charm. Without that, I could not rest the clip like a cigar stand on a table with a cigar in it without the clip that was holding the cigar from falling over. Hanging the clip would not be an issue, just resting it would present one if you wanted to rest it without my rubber-band method. I've had both of mine for months without issue. The grip end has a very strong tension-spring to help it grasp-and-clamp to many things. The cigar clip end has a soft-tension spring that will not cause damage your cigars. I highly recommend this product."JS of Brooklyn, NY
"It's decent for the price I picked it up for. Perhaps slightly to strong of spring on cigar side. Can't wait to use this clip when golfing, feel like that's where it will really shine. Hate picking up a lovely smoke off the dirty cart floor."SW of Henderson, NV
"Wonderful cigar accessory! Works fantastic. Very high quality. I'm ordering 2 more!"MS of Muncie, IN
"This is the perfect cigar holder for my golf bag while on the course smoking with the boys."LK of Clarksville, TN
"I smoke a cigar every time I play golf. This is by far the best clip I've used. Much better than the plastic ones that always break. Great product and worth every dime that C.I. charges (which isn't that many dimes b.t.w.)"FH of ST PETERSBURG, FL
"Great device for holding my cigar while I play golf!!!"SP of BELLVILLE, TX
"Indeed, an excellent purchase! Totally pleased with the item! Suites my purpose exactly!"AB of Oklahoma City, OK
"I was a little skeptical at first. But this thing works and works well. The tension on the cigar clip is just enough to hold the cigar with out damaging the wrapper. I like this thing a lot."NG of Fabius, NY

New York's Indian-American prosecutor Preet Bharara, who is known in India for his dogged prosecution of Indian diplomat Devyani Khobragade, has now taken on the state's Governor Andrew M. Cuomo over his decision to shutter an anti-corruption commission as part of a deal with legislators for an ethics package.
Cuomo created the panel "with great fanfare," shuttered it "unceremoniously", said Bharara in a radio interview as cited by Newsday, and "thinking people wonder why that happened and want to get to the bottom of it."
"I think in the letter I sent to the commission I said there was an appearance that cases were bargained away in exchange for a political deal," said the attorney who hit the headlines in India over the way he pursued the prosecution of Indian diplomat Devyani Khobragade.
Bharara, an appointee of President Barack Obama, indicated he was troubled by reports of interference in the commission's actions. "I don't know what the facts are," Bharara was quoted as saying on WNYC's "The Brian Lehrer Show" Thursday. "What I can tell you is that it's impossible to overstate the importance of independence on the part of any investigative body."
Bharara, Newsday said, wouldn't rule out investigating whether Cuomo or his aides improperly intervened in activities undertaken by the recently shuttered anti-corruption commission.
Asked several times by Lehrer if he could rule out investigating Cuomo's office, the prosecutor said: "I'm not going to prejudge what we'll be looking at."
Meanwhile, the governor downplayed criticism of his decision to shutter the commission saying "It was created to spur the legislation." "I said repeatedly when the legislation was passed the commission would be disbanded," he was quoted him as saying by Newsday at a Rochester news conference at about the same time Bharara was on the radio.
Cuomo and legislators in closed-door negotiations agreed to enact some election law changes and toughen bribery statutes.
In exchange, the governor terminated the commission that was originally slated to work through the end of this year.
According to Newsday Bharara's investigations of state legislators helped spark, in part,the creation of the commission last year. In letters to the commission, Bharara asked it to "preserve all documents that may be under your control" -- including emails. "We're going to look at the documents," Bharara was quoted as saying in an interview. "We're going to see what the facts are, and if there are questions that are appropriate to ask . . . my office will ask those questions."

Tomorrow's carbon fiber could be made from plastic bags
March 28, 2012
Thanks to research currently being conducted at the U.S. Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory, our unwanted plastic bags may one day be recycled into carbon fiber. Not only that, but the properties of the fibers themselves could be fine-tuned, allowing different types of carbon fiber to be created for specific applications. Read More

Laser un-printers could help save the trees
March 14, 2012
If you're concerned about deforestation, you likely blue-bin the no-longer-needed sheets of paper that have been run through your printer. You should keep in mind, however, that even though the recycling of that paper saves trees, the process still requires considerable energy, and most recycled paper still contains some virgin wood pulp. What would be better is if there were an "un-printer" that took the toner off of the used paper, so you would be left with a blank sheet that you could reuse. Well, thanks to research being conducted at the University of Cambridge, there soon may be. Read More
Children in the First World have a lot of choice when it comes to scientific toys. In fact, there are whole stores devoted to selling things like robotics kits, ant farms, and simple microscopes.

Well, in the case of Arvind Gupta, they show the kids how to make scientific toys from trash. Read More

There are over 30 free newspapers in circulation in London and the thoughtless disposal of them is the cause of an unsightly litter problem on the city's streets.

Each pod is home to two LCD screens displaying up-to-the-minute bulletins tailored for the needs of city business types, interspersed with news from the worlds of entertainment, sport, fashion, travel, technology and the arts.

Cleantech 100 identifies top innovators in sustainability
November 29, 2011
Recently the Cleantech Group, with the assistance of an advisory panel of corporate executives, sat down to decide upon the third annual Global Cleantech 100: the hundred "most promising and innovative" clean technology companies of 2011. The listed companies span a range of industries, and though solar energy firms, chemical recyclers, LED manufacturers and energy-monitoring software programmers certainly aren't under-represented, many companies in the hundred are defined by a single product or idea. Gizmag scoured the Cleantech 100 to find what we thought were the ten most innovative companies. Read More
If you really want to minimize the amount of toxins that you put into the environment, use rechargeable batteries. Disposable and rechargeable batteries can contain heavy metals such as mercury, lead, and cadmium, and with an estimated 3 billion batteries a year being discarded in the U.S. alone, the sometimes small amounts in each battery can really add up. Using rechargeables greatly reduces the number of batteries entering landfills, but many people don't bother buying them, or the chargers that they require. That's where earthCell batteries come in. They can be used like disposables, except that users send them away for for recharging or recycling when they're dead. Read More

RIP 6.6 Rescue System Has New Drivers and a Forum
The Recovery Is Possible (RIP) Linux rescue system is available in its newest version 6.6. A related web forum enables discussion among developers and users.
The new RIP release incorporates a version of the GParted partition editor released only days ago. The Gnome application should speed up copying and moving partitions. Moreover, it also supports the Mac HFS+ file system.
RIP 6.6 includes the WLAN driver Ath9k for draft 802.11n chipsets from Atheros, as well as drivers for the ACX100 and ACX111 wireless chips from Texas Instruments.
Meanwhile, RIP developer Kent Robotti started a RIP Linux forum that includes tips on how to extend the distribution to further applications.
RIP is a Linux Live distribution based on Slackware, primarily used for data maintenance and recovery. It provides support for a variety of hardware and file systems, including the ext family, ReiserFS and Reiser4, UDF, HFS, HPFS and NTFS. It is bootable from CD or USB external drive. ISO images are available for download from the project homepage, including the mkusb.sh script for USB flash drive partition installations and a variant for PXE networks. Linux requires a minimum 256 MByte RAM and a Pentium CPU. The kernel is available in 32-bit and 64-bit versions.
