Bumble & Bumble StylingBar @ Bloomie's

The Bb.StylingBar is located inside Bloomingdale’s at 59th Street in New York City. It's a place to experiment with Bb.Products or sit for a 20 minute, $35 styling service. Walk in, walk up and ask for the Downtown or Uptown Updo among other choices. I spoke with CEO Peter Lichtenthal of BB outside of Bloomingdales and he assured me that ALL hairtypes are welcome and will be styled fabulously. This is a partial service so hair must be clean and ready to be styled.

Not So Fast Mr. President

The debate of extending children's schools hours, summer breaks, etc. is an old one. But before we start proposing extensions let's fix the bureaucracy. Then start decreasing the size of the class rooms, reevaluating the content of education, start compensating teachers based on performance and finally offering vouchers. It's a shame that so many good private/religious schools have closed down for lack on enrollment when so many public school children could have filled those seats. On the other hand: Parents/Guardians wake up, speak up! http://www.nydailynews.com/news/national/2009/09/28/2009-09-28_president_obama_wants_to_keep_kids_in_school_longer_extended_days_weekend_hours_.html

Dannon To Pay $35 Million Dollars in Consumer Settlement Case

Dannon has settled a $35 Million Dollar class action lawsuit stating that the company used false advertising for product lines Activia & DanActive. It was accused of touting health benefits that didn't exist. Part of the settlement indicates that words such as immunity will be removed and instead of using the phrase "a positive effect on your digestive tract's immune system" it will be reworded to say the yogurt will "interact with your digestive tract's immune system." Well doesn't anything you put in your body interact with your digestive tract?! Just asking...Refunds of up to $100.00 will be given to customers who have purchased the products. The settlement is awaiting approval by the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Ohio. To read more:

Dell Has Been Served: $4 Million Dollar Payout

Dell has been ordered to pay a $4 million dollar lawsuit to New York Attorney General Andrew Cuomo in a consumer fraud case. Dell was engaged in fraud, false advertising, deceptive business practices and abusive debt collection practices. Dell engaged in bait and switch advertising with respect to its “no interest” financing promotions, misled consumers to believe they had qualified for promotional financing, failed to adequately disclose the terms of its “next day” service contracts and failed to provide consumers with warranty service and promised rebates. Surprise, surprise. Never was a fan of their computers.
If you are a New York resident and purchased a Dell computer you may be entitled to receive a settlement. For more information visit:
