too bad that only 500ml comes with a pump. the bodylotion is good but not something special. some other lotions are a little bit better and are cheaper. it smells really decent. like nothing but sometimes a bit weird. but that's not bad at all. actually it's a rich, thick lotion. not really a cream. i like the bottle. makes the skin soft and i feel myself very good. absorded quickly. some people says that the lotion absorts very slowly...but i dont think so.
This body lotion reminds me of clinique dramatically difference lotion, looks, smells and feels almost exactly the same. Unfortunately its effectiveness is about the same too, which means to me it's very ordinary since i have super dry skin. I can imagine people with normal/slightly dry skin would love it. Although i like the texture, but in terms of moisturising i still like my nivea, cos it stops me from itching and keeps my legs smooth and soft. Wont repurchase, haha... and i bought the 500ml one too.
Got this in a gift set for christmas and am just getting around to using it. I love it. my skin is so soft after using it.
I like products that do not contain mineral oil or petrolatium or any petrolium in them since they are cheap fillers and do not belong in higher priced lotions.
I would definately buy this.

Very overrated product. I remember from my youth a yellow lotion made by Vaseline that reminds me so much of this product. Doesn't moisturize all that well. Way overpriced!
Not very moisturizing at all. My legs have dry patches on them whenever I use this lotion. I had high expectations based on my experience with other Kiehls products, but this did nothing. It was as though I didn't moisturize at all.

good packaging, hygenic as in a bottle, awesome basic moisturiser, however wish the smell could be less 'organic' not sure if thats the right word, but a beautiful scent wouldn't go astray...having said that...one of the best moisturisers i have used (faves are The Natural Source range, and The Body Shop butters). This has the advantage over the two brands mentioned in that it has hygenic packaging! i'm not a fan of dipping fingers into a tub!
Over-priced. Nothing special, not even that moisturizing. Could find many, many other lotions that are as good if not better for a fraction of the price.
Everything's relative; if you compare Creme de Corps to the La Prairie body lotion, it's a bargain! Sadly, I'm one of the folks who can tell the difference between the the expensive stuff and the cheap stuff, plus, I won't use products that are tested on animals, so that leaves out a lot of the "grocery store" brands. The only way my getting-drier-by-the-year skin can survive winter is with a liberal nightly dose (hands, arms, legs, feet)of this amazing lotion. :>)

While it moisturized really well for my skin one summer, I just couldn't get past the smell. It has great ingredients, and kiehl's even has a matching shower cream, but I won't be repurchasing.
I have always wanted to try this but its super exy in Australia. When strawberrynet offered it for only $20 i bought 2 in the hope that it would be as great as i thought ... and it is!
I got it this afternoon and used it on my legs. They are so much silkier and smoother than normal!
I havent noticed any smell at all! It absorbs super fast and is the perfect body moisturiser!
I am about to buy more at that great price to stock up.
Shame i have SO many body creams ... heee heee.

Anything having to do with the code4lib 2007 conference to be held in Athens, Georgia, Feb 28 through Mar 2.
Michael Doran
This presentation will cover the copyright issues and pitfalls that arise when a locally created software application is being considered for release under an open-source license. It will be based on the knowledge and experience gained shepherding two applications through the intellectual property disclosure process at the University of Texas at Arlington, so that the applications could be officially released as open source.

Following up on discussion over on #code4lib and the code4libcon Google group, I've set up a short survey. The survey polls respondents to see what interest there is in a European event, and to assess whether such an event should be as well as or instead of a North American code4libcon.
Please register your views, and raise awareness of this survey ahead of the closing date, 15 February.
As noted in the survey itself, neither the code4lib community nor Talis are bound to hold an event at a time or in a place solely on the basis of this survey. The results are freely available, during and after the survey.
Oregon State University Libraries is proud to announce the recipients of the 2007 Code4lib Conference Scholarship for Women and 2007 Code4lib Conference Minority Scholarship.
Nicole Engard is the recipient of the 2007 Code4lib Scholarship for Women. Nicole works at the Jenkins Law Library as their Web Manager, and was named a Library Journal Mover and Shaker in 2007.
Joshua Gomez is the recipient of the 2007 Code4lib Minority Scholarship. Joshua is currently a Library Assistant III at the Getty Research Institute, and is pursuing his education in computer programming and information science.
On behalf of Oregon State University and the scholarship committee, we would like to congratulate both Nicole and Joshua on their scholarships.
In looking for a solution to organize a local elementary school library, Delicious Library was my first stop. And perhaps my last... except for faceting it with Flare, of course.
I scanned a few books into Delicious Library:
And then I exported the library (to a tab-delimited format), wrote a little Delicious Library export -> Solr importer script, and my Delicious Library is now faceted with Flare:
We have started accepting t-shirt designs for this year's Code4Lib conference t-shirt. Now is a chance to submit your idea! We'll stop accepting submissions on Friday, Jan. 19th. Some time after that voting will begin. As designs are received they will be included on this page (to hopefully encourage even more entries).

Ed Summers and William Groppe have jumped in head-strong to crafting a Ruby DSL to Solr. solrb is coming along nicely thanks to our collaborations.
Another early adopter asked a question on the solr-user e-mail list, and I replied with a lot of juicy tidbits to whet your appetite.
We're moving as fast as we can in order to use this infrastructure for the basis of Solr Flare, destined to be faceted browsing plugins for Rails allowing your Rails application to easily benefit from what Solr and solrb offer. Solr Flare will debut at the code4lib pre-conference event in whatever form it happens to be in by then.
Oregon State University is offering two scholarships for the 2007 code4lib conference. Please see below for eligibility and other information on the scholarships. Anyone with questions about the scholarships may contact Jeremy Frumkin at jeremy dot frumkin at oregonstate dot edu.
-------OSU / Code4lib Minority Scholarship
The OSU / Code4lib Minority Scholarship will provide up to $1000 to cover travel costs and conference fees for one qualified attendee to the 2007 Code4lib conference. To qualify for this scholarship, an applicant must be a member of a principal minority group (American Indian or Alaskan native, Asian or Pacific Islander, African-American, or Hispanic / Latino).
Applications will be judged by the scholarship committee on a combination of merit and need.
To apply, please send an email to email@example.com with the following:
1) A brief letter of interest, including statement of need (also, please indicate your eligibility in the letter)
2) A resume
3) Contact information of two professional or academic references
Applications should be received no later than January 21, 2007.
The successful candidate will be contacted no later than January 30, 2007.
-------OSU / Code4lib Scholarship for Women
The OSU / Code4lib Scholarship for Women will provide up to $1000 to cover travel costs and conference fees for one qualified attendee to the 2007 Code4lib conference. This scholarship is eligible to any woman interested in attending the 2007 Code4lib conference.
The 2007 Conference Schedule is now available. There may be some minor tweaks to be made still, but it is mostly set. It is an incredible line-up, plus there are a lot of cool unknowns hidden in the Lightning Talks and Breakout Sessions, for which ideas and sign-ups will be taken at the conference. See you there!
9am - 5pm, Tuesday February 27
Location Updated: Because of the overwhelming response, the pre-conference has been moved to the Tate Student Center, Room 137.
This will be a full day event devoted to lucene and solr.
The event will be led by Erik Hatcher, committer on the Lucene and Solr projects, and co-author of Lucene in Action, and Java Development with Ant.
The morning will be devoted to background and theory, and the afternoon will be an opportunity to try some hands-on projects. Participants should either bring a wi-fi enabled laptop or be prepared to look over someone else's shoulder. So that we can get as much accomplished in the workshop as possible, we will provide a list of software and documentation to be downloaded before the workshop. If you are interested in working with a specific data set, please bring the data set with you, preferably on a sharable media format (e.g., CDROM, USB Flash Drive) so that we can exchange data sets quickly and easily. To save time at the event, please get your data into XML before the conference.
There is no registration fee to attend the workshop. However, so that we can plan for adequate space, please register by emailing bess [at] virginia [dot] edu with a simple message that you plan to attend. Registration is full! Then remember to book your flight a day early and reserve an extra night in the hotel. Also, please join the mailing list for the pre-conference if you want to receive all the communication that will be sent out about it: http://groups.google.com/group/code4libpreconf
We have over sixty people, and more people are joining all the time. That is a lot of people to handle for a hands on workshop. In order to handle this, we're going to divide into teams based on what language you feel most comfortable using with solr. I'd also like to ask that a couple of people volunteer to be the coordinator of each team. If you're a coordinator, your job is to make sure you have downloaded all the software, you have a good data set to work with, and you've at least run through the tutorial and been able to get some data into solr. Also, you should probably be pretty comfortable with your chosen programming language. You can come here to sign up for a team, and indicate whether you'd be willing to act as a coordinator. The purpose of this is to make sure we know before the event whether we have enough coordinators for each language, and to make sure we don't spend all our time the day of the event trying to form groups.

Villanova University's Falvey Memorial Library has longed for a beautiful pig; however, we determined in early 2006 that pigs were only good at searching for truffles, so we decided to build our own OPAC.
After developing our own custom Digital Library from a Native XML Database, we quickly appreciated the ease of development with XQuery and XSLT. We then launched full speed ahead into the development of a new OPAC from scratch using XML technologies and MARCXML.
This presentation will describe the process of choosing an NXDB and optimizing it for large data set performance. Developing searches that take about 2 minutes to process and optimizing them down to about 2 seconds. I will also describe the development processes of the OPAC interface including the AJAX features we have implemented. I will share our success stories and our failures.
