Newfangled Fams Inspire Media Relations Makeovers
Here are three different examples of next-generation travel media relations:
- The Lanai, Hawaii, Visitors Bureau commissioned seven well-known travel bloggers to be New Media Artists in Residence, each bringing an assistant to help develop their stories. Spending a week at the beach, scuba diving, and enjoying a variety of other activities, the travel writers shared their articles on a Posterous blog, generating links that cross-posted to Twitter (#VisitLanai.) Although bloggers were on location in Lanai at different times, they continued to interact with each other through social media over six months, sharing comments and recommendations of where to go and what to do with each other and their followers.
- Travel Oregon invited 25 food writers for a Full On Oregon culinary immersion weekend, taking small groups crabbing at the Oregon Coast, whitewater rafting on the Rogue River, foraging on Mt. Hood and wine tasting in the Willamette Valley. Bloggers went behind the scenes to make and taste chocolate, fruit and vegetable preserves, tea, charcuterie, ice cream and cocktails. Camaraderie developed over meals prepared by some of Portland's top chefs using fresh local ingredients. A strong, supportive (#fullonOR) community resulted after participating in unique, authentic experiences for only 48 hours.
- Spain's Valencia Tourism Region hosted a blog trip (#blogtripF1) for a variety of journalists, travel bloggers, social media pros, Internet technologists and web designers. To kick off the event, each attendee presented a topic related to their expertise in a venue where they could then meet, discuss, debate and collaborate with each other. The four-day Valencia excursion also included a trip to the Formula One Grand Prix of Europe race. Guided tours resulted in blogs about a range of activities, including eating local fare, becoming inspired by modern architecture and experiencing the F1 race.
Although unique in their approaches, each of these examples is based on the same core principles. Follow these guidelines to drive your media relations makeover.
Interactive Media Trips | Old-school Familiarization Trips |
Invite writers conversant in social media who are likely to get along well | Select writers based on the media outlet each will be writing for |
Avoid stating requirements other than disclosure of entity sponsoring the trip | Letter of assignment |
Share information on who is coming prior to the trip and provide links to their blogs, media outlets and Twitter handles to build momentum for the event and extend the program's reach to before and after the event | Meet upon arrival |
Online resource page featuring URLs, photos and Twitter handles for all involved locations | Paper press kit |
Small groups that change for meals and outings | One group |
Unique, memorable experiences so each writer finds their own angle | Everyone gets the same story |
Select attractions visited based on stories about people, e.g., second restaurants opened by award-winning chefs or family-owned businesses | Visit classic, most popular attractions |
Interviews with interesting artisans, guides and chefs so writers get fresh, untold stories | Breakfast with the general manager |
8:30 a.m. or 9 a.m. departures plus free time for exploring and writing | Jam-packed schedule starting at 8 a.m. or earlier each day |
Twitter hashtag for the trip | No sense of community |
Possibility of multiple blog posts | One story per media outlet |
Measurement is based on influence and engagement | Measurement is based on media outlet's circulation |
Focus on building relationships and networks | Focus on generating exclusive stories |
Inspired? Infusing these concepts into your PR program will help you turn your next media trip into an engaging, memorable experience.

One thing I don't see in your table is any indication of how ROI should be calculated. What does "measurement is based on influence and engagement" mean? The number of Twitter followers a blogger has, how many "Likes" his or posts have, a Klout score, or something else?
Just as important, some of the items on the left-hand side of your table could just well be applied to media trips where participants are invited on the basis of circulation and outlets: There's no reason why a group of magazine writers, newspaper writers, and writers of "evergreen" Web coverage can't be offered "unique, memorable experiences" or "small groups that change for meals and outings," for example.
FWIW, I've been on two Switzerland Tourism press trips where the attendees were split into smaller groups based on their interests. On the first trip, the dozen or so attendees began the trip together, then went off to different areas of the country for a few days, then reunited for several days at the end. The "together" part covered a specific theme (design and architecture), while the "different areas of the country" part focused on the different cities and regions that the writers visited on their own or with a colleague. In effect, it was two trips in one--or half a dozen trips in one, if you count all the permutations that were offered.
I can see how this can work well. You can receive many more viewpoints and contributors opinions can be judged on their prior writings and experiences. In a couple of weeks, I will be traveling around Ireland by car by myself using a couple of books, maps, lots of info I gathered on line w/o FB or twits and asking people along the way. The only other connection I will have will be a phone for local calls in case of emergency. All hotels, car and 1 day tour (the rest are self tours) are already booked. Reading and planning ahead of time has always been huge helps when traveling and I do appreciate people sharing their experiences, especially the driving on the wrong side of the road for this one. No doubt, many other people appreciate travelers chiming in, too.
Great article, Vicky! I love your chart mentioning, "interviews with artisans, guides and chefs vs. breakfast with the general manager." So true!
As a freelance writer, who also lives in the social media world as a travel blogger, I wear two hats, three if you count PR consulting as a side job. As a pr consultant I find that "vetting" travel bloggers is quite different than the old school way.
Putting on my blogger hat:many of the fam forms that I'm asked to complete list only one publication and rarely reference online media. Those forms need to be updated. In fact, it is not uncommon for travel writers and bloggers to write for multiple publications.
You could probably write an entire post on the importance of including #hashtags on social media trips. My next trip: #seeMaui
Another thought about press trips in general, and "blogger trips" specifically:
Blogs are, in many ways, the online equivalent of Sunday newspaper travel sections (albeit with smaller audiences in most cases): The goal of coverage is to build awareness, and the useful life of that coverage tends to be short--like the Sunday newspaper travel story that ends up in the recycling bin on Monday morning. (With "social media," the referral life cycle is even shorter--no more than about three hours, according to a recent Bit.ly study:
"Evergreen" Web coverage, on the other hand, is the PR gift that goes on giving--sometimes for years. And if the site attracts significant traffic from search engines like Google and Bing, evergreen coverage is also useful for decision support among readers who are looking for more information on a destination, hotel, cruise, etc., meaning that positive coverage can help nudge the reader from "prospect" to "buyer."
Bottom line: When organizing media trips in the online era, PR people should be looking for a blend of immediate buzz and long-term awareness-building, Web referrals, and decision support.
All, thanks for your comments. Nancy, it's great to hear from you! Durant and Paula, it's nice to "meet" you via MediaPost. I agree that inviting a mix of writers is a good idea. As for measurement, the goals of the three programs described were to create a community or network of advocates and inspire consumer engagement or two-way communication. This can be measured in traditional ways, e.g., numbers of impressions, but we prefer to track number of comments and retweets as well as key elements of the conversation.
Vicky - Thank you so much for featuring the #VisitLanai New Media-Artist-in-Residence Program. I was the producer on that campaign and we are all thrilled with every aspect of the program! The bureau announced today that visitor spending is up 27.8% YTD for Lanai, (much higher rate of increase than Maui which is the dominant destination here.) We also increased Google listings for "Visit Lanai" by over 500% and the positives just go on and on.
Everyone is invited to read more about the program here:
http://www.barefeetstudios.com/2011/02/10/new-media-artist-in_residence-program-for-lanai/One of these days I will write a summary companion post!
Aloha! Roxanne
Roxanne, congratulations on a great program! I learned about the it from Chris Gray Faust and Kara Williams. It struck a chord with me as being innovative and effective. Also thanks for sharing the ROI metrics, validating its success.

The Wildest Beauty Looks From Rihanna's New "S&M" Video See 10 Risqué Beauty Looks From Rihanna's New "S&M" Video by Jaime Richards 2/02/11 0 Reactions 0 Shares Print 0 0 0 0 0 Rihanna's new "S&M" video recently premiered, and it's anything but tame. Actually, it's NSFW, and apparently it has even been banned in 11 countries. But with all sorts of kinky scenarios and flashy angles contained within said video come some rather outlandish beauty looks. It's obvious that Rihanna's beauty team got creative with her various hair, nail, and makeup looks while filming this risqué video. See some of the wildest ones now. Start Getting Kinky What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Rihanna was the queen of kinky wearing a crown atop her frizzy 'do. To get a tamed-down version of her look, try these vampy curls à la Twilight's Victoria. 1 / 10 It's Black and White What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Rihanna is all about the wild nails, and for this look she combined black and white checkered, striped, polka-dotted, and half-moon styles. To try something similar, check out Solange Knowles's polka-dot manicure how-to or create your own patterns with black and white nail art pens. 2 / 10 Pearly Girly What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 For this look, Rihanna rocks a pink manicure with a pearlescent finish, which could easily be achieved with something like ELF's Pearl Pink ($1) or Orly's Bongo Pink ($8). 3 / 10 Feelin' Blue What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Rihanna may not take on the sweetest personas in this video, but her pink and blue combination makes for one sweet pairing. If you're feeling adventurous, get a similar take on the look with MAC's Pink 4 Friday lipstick ($15), some opaque pink polish, like ELF's Bubble Gum Pink ($1), and bright blue liner, such as Models Own kohl pencil in Neon Blue ($6). 4 / 10 Explosion of Color What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Green shadow, orange lips, and a bevy of bright floral hair accessories might not be for everyday wear. But here's how you can do fashionable orange lipstick without looking weird. 6 / 10 I'm a Chiquita Banana and I've Come to Say What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Rihanna might be about to do something suggestive to that banana she's holding, but she definitely has that whole Chiquita Banana girl thing down pat. For a fun spin on the look, try this frayed edge rosette headband ($12) from Candie's. 6 / 10 Over the Moon What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Want to try a half-moon manicure like Rihanna? All you need is some red polish and some half-moon stickers ($8). 7 / 10 Tangerine Talons What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Sure, orange is a shade that is traditionally associated with warm months, but since Rihanna is all about breaking the rules, why don't you, too? Try OPI Atomic Orange ($6). 8 / 10 Chic and Sleek What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 The cigarette's not so sexy, but the ponytail and disc-shaped fascinator most certainly are. Be sure to check out our tips on getting a sleek ponytail, and for a similar hair accessory, go with ASOS origami pleat fascinator ($52). 9 / 10 A Rosy Outlook What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Rihanna pairs a green liner with a trendy honeysuckle hair accessory. The results have that total wow factor, but without being too over-the-top. Get the look with Forever 21's pink flower hair clips ($3) and Nars's eyeliner pencil in Patmos ($21). 11 / 10 0 0 0 0 0 Read More RihannaNailsMakeupCelebrity BeautyHair Nails Your Daily Dose of Fun: OPI's New Muppets-Inspired Nail Polishes 1 day ago Find Your Essie Gel Polish Soulmate 2 days ago Sparkling Nail Art For the DIY Bride 2 days ago Throwback Thursday: The Classic Products Our Editors Love 3 days ago Dark Nail Polish Is the Trend You Need to Take Away From PFW 4 days ago You've Got to See This Epic Spring Nail Art on Instagram 5 days ago Get a Personalized Fashion & Beauty Newsletter!

US seeks to tackle trade-secret theft by China, others
Reuters, February 21, 2013
The plan includes working with like-minded governments to put pressure on bad actors, using trade policy tools, increasing criminal prosecutions and launching a 120-day review to see whether new U.S. legislation is needed.
"A hacker in China can acquire source code from a software company in Virginia without leaving his or her desk," U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder said at a White House event to unveil the strategy.
Although the White House report did not cite China by name, many see the Asian giant as the main threat. A study released this week by a private security firm accused the Chinese military of orchestrating numerous cyber attacks against U.S. businesses, a charge Beijing has denied.
The Obama administration said its strategy aims to counter what Holder called "a significant and steadily increasing threat to America's economy and national security interests."
"As new technology has torn down traditional barriers to international business and global commerce, they also make it easier for criminals to steal secrets and to do so from anywhere, anywhere in the world," Holder said.
Last week, Representative Dutch Ruppersberger, the top Democrat on the House of Representatives Intelligence Committee, said U.S. companies suffered estimated losses in 2012 of more than $300 billion due to theft of trade secrets, a large share due to Chinese cyber espionage.
The White House report listed 17 cases of trade-secret theft by Chinese companies or individuals since 2010, far more than any other country mentioned in the report.
U.S. corporate victims of trade-secret theft have included General Motors, Ford, DuPont, Dow Chemical, Motorola, Boeing and Cargill. A target company can see the payoff from research investment evaporate as a result of corporate espionage and lose market position, competitive advantage and efficiencies.
"We have repeatedly raised our concerns about trade-secret theft by any means at the highest levels with senior Chinese officials and we will continue to do so," said Robert Hormats, an undersecretary of state.
Those cases cited mostly involved employees stealing trade secrets on the job rather than cyber attacks.
Victoria Espinel, the White House intellectual property rights enforcement coordinator, said the effort aims to protect the innovation that drives the U.S. economy and job creation.
Mixed responseCyber-security and intelligence experts welcomed the White House plan as a first step, but some said much more needed to be done.
"You've got a nation-state taking on private corporations," said former CIA Director Michael Hayden. "That's kind of unprecedented. We have not approached resolution with this at all."
The U.S. Chamber of Commerce, the nation's largest business lobby, offered a lukewarm statement of support, while other industry groups expressed more enthusiasm for the effort.
"We strongly endorse and applaud the administration's focus on curbing theft of trade secrets, which poses a serious and growing threat to the software industry around the world," said Business Software Alliance President and CEO Robert Holleyman.
The report that laid out the strategy repeated a 2011 White House recommendation that the maximum sentence for economic espionage be increased to at least 20 years, from 15 currently.
Another part of the solution is promoting a set of "best practices" that companies can use to protect themselves against cyber attacks and other espionage, Espinel said.
The report also said the U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation was "expanding its efforts to fight computer intrusions that involve the theft of trade secrets by individual, corporate and nation-state cyber hackers."
In an interview, U.S. Trade Representative Ron Kirk said the problem of trade-secret theft in China was a factor in the decisions of some U.S. companies to move operations back to the United States.
The companies have "had very frank conversations with the Chinese, (saying) 'You know it's one thing to accept a certain level of copyright knock-offs, but if you're going to take our core technology, then we're better off being in our home country,'" Kirk told Reuters.

Do you apply your DT before or after you cleanse your hair? I find that my hair gets less weighed down when I cleanse after using a DT. Also, maybe the addition of extra oils to your conditioner is too much for your hair. You can try adding some honey to one of your regular conditioners and using that as a DT. The DT will also penetrate your hair better if you use heat. I recommend rinsing your hair, applying the DT, putting on a shower cap/saran wrap, and using a blow dryer to heat up the conditioner that's in your hair. After that, you can cleanse and condition your hair as you normally would.
Also, have you tried a protein treatment yet? I was afraid to use protein for a long time, but I recently started using IAgirl's PT and it makes my hair super soft and shiny and bouncy. Protein treatments can also help strengthen your hair and protect it from environmental damage.

Salar de Uyuni
February 28th 2011
Flamingoes in Nearby Lake
I spent longer in La Paz than I planned sorting out my final travel plans and return home. I realised that as I had booked my flight early to avoid the high carnival prices, I now had very little time left in Bolivia. And I hard hardly seen anything that I wanted to see.
Salar de Uyuni
Trying to cram in the two most important trips, I took a night train to Uyuni - the base point for tours of the salt flats. Salar de Uyuni is the most popular tourist destination in Bolivia as I am told it is unique and the scenery is stunning. The morning I arrived I joined a tour group by jeep out on to the salt flats, along with hordes of other tourists.
The salt flats appeared before us like a mirage. A flat, shimmering, shining salt crystal desert expanded over the horizon. The rainy season had brought a short covering of water turning it into a blinding mirror, perfectly reflecting the surrounding mountains and volcanoes, which appeared to be floating in the air.
The experience reminded me of a Salvador Dali painting, especially when we staged perspective trickery photos. I
Salar de Uyuni
wasn't aware but apparently the done thing is do take clever pictures taking advantage of the expanse of flat uniform space. Typically, the three Israeli girls in our group had come prepared with a variety of props to take amusing pictures.
The Silver Mines of Potosi
That same night I took another night bus to Potosi. After a few hours sleep I visited the museum in the morning to learn more about the city. I found that it was once one of the richest cities in the Spanish empire due to the huge silver deposits found in the small mountain overlooking the city. It created a silver boom and was the place where the new world's coins were minted. Now the silver deposits are vastly depleted and the city has fallen into decline.
The main reason for visiting the city was to take a tour around the silver mines. They are still operative but earnings are low. Despite that, the mines have always been the main source of income. Now tourism is taking over as many backpackers flock to visit the mines.
I joined a tour with an ex miner in the afternoon. After kitting up
Two Swedish Girls in the Palm of My Hand
in protective clothes and head torches we visited the miners' market where visiting tourists buy gifts for the miners. As is the custom, we bought some dynamite and some booze - not a particularly safe combination!
On the surface near the entrance of the mines we saw how the ore is extracted from the lumps of rock hauled out of the mine. The process involves a variety of archaic machinery utilising centrifuge and buoyancy, and a number of highly noxious chemicals including cyanide. The whole process is done without any protective clothing or equipment....
Before descending into the mines we lit some dynamite and posed with the lit stick in our hands before watching it explode 20m away. Only in Bolivia....
We stooped and entered the rocky tunnel, our mouths covered to exclude the thick Silica and Asbestos dust filling the air and covering everything. The guide book assured us that the NHS have asserted that a couple of hours exposure would not have any averse effects on our health. But it was pretty unpleasant.
As we descended further the tunnels got smaller and smaller until, at some points, we were squeezing through holes on our
hands and knees. It's a good job I'm not claustrophobic! The air was hot, stale, and saturated with thick dust. The tunnels were rough rock holes, sometimes descending sharply and unstably into the bowels of the earth. We visited the rock face currently being worked by rock climbing down a vertical shaft and then on our hands and knees through a hole.
We met a miner taking a break in one of the passages. He was installing another wad of coca leaves into his cheek. He seemed pretty drugged up already and I couldn't understand a word he said. Luckily our guide translated into regular Spanish for us. He was on his own today: his two sons, age 13 and 16, usually help him. We learned that the miners work long hours of hard labour in these horrific conditions. Coca chewing is essential to endure it. It gives them energy and stamina, allowing them to work for long periods without breaks.
They do it for the money, of course. Traditionally, by Bolivian standards, they can earn quite well. But these days there is very little silver left and some days they hardly make anything. Yet their health is
at serious risk. I was told that 10 years of exposure to the dust and gases in the mines is enough to kill you. The average life expectancy is around 50 something years. Although I met several miners who have spent 25 years working down there 8-12 hours per day six days per week. They look like it too! The miners numb the pain by drinking bootleg alcohol and chewing coca.
With a little more appreciation of our working environment and lifestyle in England, and of clean air and light, I emerged from the mines. That night I took another night bus - the third in a row - back to La Paz, ready to fly the following day to my final destination......

tour info
Hi, I booked the tours while I was there. I booked the Huayna Potosi mountain climb through my hostel, Wild Rover. They were reasonably good. I booked Salar de Uyuni in La Paz with Honey Tours including the train to Uyuni. It's probably cheaper and just as easy to book it when you arrive in Uyuni - there is no need to do it in La Paz. I booked the mine tour in Potosi with Koala Tours when I arrived - I would recommend them. Enjoy! Luke

Sesame Street youtube channel hacked
Sesame Streets Youtube channel and hundereds of partners that aggregated videos from the Sesame street Youtube channel today published indecent images and potentially extremely indecent video to children.
The pornographic videos uploaded by a hacker spread quickly around the internet, way too quick for Google who took 20 minutes to respond to the e-safety issue.
This is the first major instance where a major channel partner has been hacked and the target audience has been children. We can only assume that thousands of children have been affected.
It is not yet clear how the hacker managed to gain access to the Youtube channel that is currently suspended and not available. Today's incident will lave Youtube and Google embarrassed especially after only 5 days ago Youtube released a "Youtube Channel for Teachers" and only a few months ago were promoting the sesame street brand on the Google Search home page.

2011, the year of internet child protection?
CEOP seems to of had a big knock this month and I'm not sure anyone other than RBC's are being vocal about protecting children online? Certainly most of the development we have done has been ignored by most educators. Schools are required to get 3 quotes for purchases over X amount so why not consider performing a risk assessment when purchasing hosted web services? I guess there needs to be a carrot. Maybe Naace could set up a quality assurance mark for hosted web services? Just an idea…

Erik Moeller, journalist and open source software advocate, has ambitious expectations for Wikinews.
"I would compare its current state to the first days of the open source Linux operating system, which has been created by volunteer programmers from around the world," Mr Moeller told dotJournalism.
"Back in 1991 and 1992, it was mostly something for hobbyists and other interested people to play with. Today it powers the world's largest supercomputers, it runs Google, it supports a gigantic portion of the world's webservers, and it is increasingly adopted by corporations and governments as an alternative to Windows."
Wiki, a Hawaiian word meaning 'quick', is a open publishing web format where anyone can post and edit content. The largest wiki site is Wikipedia, an online encyclopedia of more than 420,000 articles built by a network of 6,000 contributors.
Wikinews is part of the same site but allows users to post and edit news stories. Since the site was officially launched in early December, 770 users have registered to contribute to the project.
Critical of the centralised power of large global news agencies such as AP and Reuters, Mr Moeller believes that with financial support from readers, contributors could do first-hand reporting. Regular writers could be formally recognised as journalists, just as bloggers were during the recent US presidential elections, allowing Wikinews to compete with traditional news media.
"Good reporting costs money - money for travel and communications, for obtaining documents and other source materials - and good reporting is hard work," he said.
"The next revolution I want to see is therefore a revolution of funding: paying for citizen journalism through distributed donations made by hundreds of people who share a passion for truth, honesty and openness."
Mr Moeller expects Wikinews to transform rapidly, despite inevitable criticism from established organisations that view the internet as a platform for rumours and inaccurate journalism.
But, as with the Wikipedia community, Mr Moeller believes Wikinews will learn from its mistakes and its credibility will develop. He also reckons new developments such as RSS feeds and a good system for feedback will help the site to take off.
"Right now we're somewhat out of the loop, a stranger in a strange land," said Mr Moeller.
"We need to become part of this nascent new media world and inspire those who are already a part of it to contribute."

As a designer I'm fussy about stuff but I found SimpleLighting offering the sort of under cupboard lighting strips I wanted at a very reasonable price..... except that the standard lengths were too long. Not a problem. A quick call to Simple Lighting and they shipped me the component parts to make up the lengths I required, only charged for the lengths I actually needed, and all delivered the next day.
Great but a few days later I found one component to be faulty. I fired of an email expecting to be told that as I'd assembled the parts myself I had no redress but within 20 minutes I had a reply confirming that a replacement was in the post. Superb!

I bought the one in the tube and am very happy with it. I only use it at night, because it's richer than the lotion, but with this and a good eye cream, I'm all set for bed. I like that it really absorbs into the skin, not leaving it too greasy. Gentle moisturization and cheap!
Bought this at Sam's Club for about 9 bucks. Very nice for my itchy legs with eczema. Soft, soothing, no fragrance. Great for after shaving.
I have combination skin that is dry and cracking one day and the next oily and broken out. I have added this cream to my nightly routine and i have to say that it is a miracle. I have sensitive allergies and I love that this cream is scent and irritant free. I've used it during a break out, and it didn't clog my pores at all! In fact, I believe it helped the break out heal! I read some of the other reviews that the cream made their skin feel greasy. I've learned that the phrase "a little goes a long way" is especially true with this product. You don't need nearly as much as you think.

A moisturizer shoudn't burn your skin like this one does. It's terrible, thats all I can say.
This is way too rich for my skin and made my face feel hot every time I put it on!!! Very greasy and a non pleasant smell.
it does moisturize but it doesn't really sink into my skin, it just stays on top and feels greasy... but probably a good hand moisturizer for those with really dry hands
Since being on Accutane, my skin is very dry, rough, and tight. This is saving my skin.
Used in conjuction with the Cetaphil Gentle Cleanser, this is a HG combo for me right now. I use this cream all over my face both morning and night. My skin just drinks this stuff up.My skin is finally soft to the touch again. It was so rough and bumpy for awhile. This isnt greasy to me even when I use it in the morning. I put this cream on after cleansing, then put on my SPF 50, then mineral foundation. My skin looks perfect all day.
So not use this on your face if you are oily or even slightly oily, this cream if for people with dry, sensitive, tight skin.
After reading reviews, i thought this would be perfect for my dry & sensitive skin. So i bought it just before my trip to a cold climate. I was loving how it went on smooth & left my skin moisturized amidst the dry, cold weather. I was in love, because my skin was so plumped up after application. HOWEVER, to my horror, a little about a week after using this, I had a terrible allergic reaction to this! At first it just started with red bumps all over my cheeks, then my face started swelling like a balloon and my eyes were so puffy! I looked like a puffer fish :( It was such a nightmare, I had to use huge shades to cover my eyes & most annoying thing was i was on holiday! I will never use this stuff ever again. Please girls, do a patch test before using this stuff or you'll end up like me. I thought this is the safest moisturizer around but i definitely was so wrong!
As a result of the beginning of winter AND hormonal birth control, my skin has been significantly less oily and pleasingly smooth and relatively acne free. However, around my mouth and nose I've been experiencing horrific dryness, something that did not go away no matter how much moisturiser I slathered on. I tried masks and creams and nothing relieved the itchy feeling and wearing even my greasiest foundation to cover up my red skin was just disastrous and flaky. Then, I remembered that I had a little sample packet of this hidden away in my bathroom draw.
Instant relief. I remember breaking out from this stuff before, but now that my skin has gone into disaster mode, I could not be any happier to be using it. I no longer resemble some kind of ridiculous pie crust-human hybrid.

at first, I absolutely loved this product. I would use it as a night time moisturizer during the winter. It was great at moisturizing but then I began to get clogged pores on my cheeks, which is very unusual for me. After I stopped using a diff moisturizer that I thought was causing the clogged pores, I came back to this cream, and guess what, it was this cream causing the clogged pores the entire time. I stopped using this cream, but I left it in the bathroom to use as a body cream. Recently I noticed that my mom's skin was beginning to look very bad, full of clogged pores. My mom is in her late 40's and I've never seen her with one blemish/clogged pore before, so I asked her if she was using the cetaphil cream on her face, and she was. I told her to stop using it, and her skin is getting alot better. All in all it does a very good job at moisturizing, but beware that it can be very poor clogging, so I would not use this daily.

Ethics in an Aging Society
What to Do About Care for the Sick and Dying
WASHINGTON, D.C., OCT. 10, 2005 (Zenit) - Older people are our brothers and sisters in Christ. This was one of the points raised by Ireland's bishops as part of the Day of Life, observed last Sunday. The theme for this year's event was "Cherishing the Evening of Life."
A pastoral letter for the occasion was published in union with the bishops of Scotland and England and Wales. Released by the Irish bishops' conference Sept. 30, the letter dealt with what should be the proper attitudes toward older people. It also talked about the theme of euthanasia.
Euthanasia, the text noted, violates the divine law: "God is the giver of life, and he alone has the right to decide when a life should end." Moreover, the bishops warned: "The right to be able to choose to die can too easily become a duty to die."
The Canadian bishops' conference also intervened on the question of euthanasia recently. In a Sept. 23 press release, the conference expressed concern over a proposal before Parliament, Bill C-407, which could open the door to euthanasia.
United in their annual plenary meeting, Canada's bishops called upon Parliament and the government to reject the proposal. A better move, they said, would be to promote palliative and end-of-life care. "Our legal system should be inspired by a culture of life in which each person feels responsible for the well-being of others until their natural death," the bishops said.
U.S. report
End-of-life issues were also dealt with in a U.S. report published by the President's Council on Bioethics. The document, "Taking Care: Ethical Caregiving in Our Aging Society," was handed to President George Bush on Sept. 28.
We are on the threshold, the report warned, of a "mass geriatric society." On the one hand, advances in health care and life spans have given us a gift for which we should be grateful. On the other hand, "[s]uch a reshaping of the lifecycle will create enormous challenges for nearly every family and for the entire society."
This transition presents society with a variety of challenges. These include protected debility and dependence by an ever-larger group of people; an economic challenge for welfare and health programs; and a looming shortage of long-term care for the incapacitated.
Four in 10 people die only after an extended period of worsening debility, dementia, and dependence, the bioethics council report observed. Many millions of people already look after elderly parents, but medical advances that prolong lives mean that patients require more extensive, and expensive, care than before. As well, smaller families reduce the number of children available to care for parents, and the increasing participation of wives in the workforce further reduces a family's ability to look after the elderly.
The report concentrated on the ethical challenges of an aging society. "As individuals and as a society," it said, "we will need deeper wisdom and resources of character if we are going to age well in the years ahead." This involves reflecting on the mutual obligations between the young and the old, as well as combining an acceptance of the limits of medicine and economic resources, "while never abandoning conscientious and compassionate human care."
Even in the best circumstances, the bioethics council noted, with a loving family, competent doctors and a supportive community, we will still face hard decisions about how to care for the elderly. "Without some ethical compass to guide us," the council cautioned, "the effort to provide social and economic supports for caregiving will lack a clear foundation and guiding purpose."
Those in charge of looking after the elderly "are not saints," the report commented. For this reason, "we need to ensure that certain moral boundaries are firmly in place and that the necessary freedom to act exists within a social world where certain kinds of actions are unthinkable because they are ethically out of bounds."
And, the report continued, "it is precisely because of the heartache that accompanies seeing those we love suffer the ravages of dementia that we need to guide compassion with ethical reason, so that our compassion does not unwittingly lead us astray."
The text also noted the "complicated relationship between the legal and the ethical." The modern liberal society tends to give individuals the greatest possible freedom to make moral choices. This situation does not mean, however, "that free choice is the only or highest moral aim of our society."
Inhuman solutions
Getting down to details, the President's Council on Bioethics warned about a number of dangers in facing up to the problems posed by aging.
First, "we must erect firm and permanent safeguards against certain inhuman 'solutions' to the ...

Why this microwave ***************** This is a microwave we bought just after Christmas after our 18 year old combination microwave blew up in flames. Given I hadn't bought a microwave in many years I was surprised how far they had moved on and how much smaller they generally were. We choose this microwave as we wanted a basic microwave that could be used to heat food up and defrost food if necessary. As we hadn't really used the combination element on our previous microwave we decide this was a function we didn't really need. Also we haven't really used the grill on our previous microwave as it generated too much cleaning so this was another ... Read the complete review

I purchased this approximately two and a half years ago from Argos for the price of around £80 I recall (although I have been unable to locate the receipt). I have seen it is still quite widely available and the average price seems to have now dropped to £65. *Looks are important* One of the main reasons for purchase is that it was a stainless steel silver and went with my kitchen (at the time)! The actual front of the microwave is also a partially reflective mirror and is very modern looking. However this is unfortunately also one of the major downsides of this microwave. After a few weeks (and admittedly some robust use - this does get used on ... Read the complete review

Russell Hobbs has become one of my favourite brands for household gadgets, and so we decided to get this microwave from Currys for £50, on sale at the time. We have had it for two years now and it has been working beautifully without any problems. The specifications of the microwave are as follows: Size: 26.2 cm height, 45.2 cm breadth and 39.5 cm depth Power consumption: 1200 watts power output: 800watts capacity : 20 litres size of the turntable: 24.5 cm diameter The oven is a silver-gray colour and the door has a mirror effect. The oven is quite compact and I like the sleek design with neat sharp lines. The handle is a ... Read the complete review

Not long after me and my university friends moved in to our new house at the beginning of the academic year, we we're shocked to discover the house did not have a microwave! Being the students we are, a microwave is an absolute essential in home cooking! We requested that a microwave be supplied, and the landlord dropped off this beauty. Setting up the microwave was a peace of case, literally just plug and play. For any technophobic sorts, the microwave comes complete with an easy to read manual which explains all the settings. The actual design is pretty cool as when not in use, the front door has a mirror like effect, although when ... Read the complete review

I have recently bought this product as I am an expectant mother and was concerned about the suitability and safety of my previous long suffering microwave. I was looking for value for money at a time when, obviously, every penny counts but I was also requiring a larger capacity which could handle a large baby bottle steriliser with ease. This microwave more than met my needs as it housed the steriliser but did not look bulky, it fit into my kitchen stylishly and was a bargain. The front door is sleek, yet surprisingly easy to keep clean and the buttons provide varied cooking options without giving a cluttered look. If in a hurry (or if you havent time to read the ...

Great flavors; meat can be a little hit or miss. Menu is a welcome departure from other places in the neighborhood. We frequently go for the Rendang and Mie Goreng. A little pricey for the quantity, but sufficiently filling. A unique problem we've had with this restaurant is the number of times they've called to say they couldn't give us a particular item in our order. It's getting a little absurd... we've yet to successfully order a Juice Alpukat - wish they'd just take it off the menu, as they can't do a partial refund through Seamless.

Pretty good little place! We've dined in and out and I think the new ownership is doing this place a service. It's not exceptional food, but if you're looking for something that's not nasty Chinese or unimpressive Thai, this is a good option in the neighborhood.

Hemsworth to battle a whale in new film
Chris Hemsworth is ready to do battle with Mother Nature. The Aussie actor, who's coming off a blockbuster summer with his starring roles in both The Avengers and Snow White and the Huntsman, has signed on for a lead role in In the Heart of the Sea, which will dramatize the real-life adventure tale that inspired Herman Melville's Moby-Dick.
In the Heart of the Sea is based on the 2000 book of the same name by Nathaniel Philbrick, which won the National Book Award for Nonfiction. It tells the story of the Whaleship Essex, a Nantucket-based craft that was stalked and finally destroyed by a sperm whale while on an 1820 expedition. Following the calamity, the surviving crew members, must struggle to survive and are ultimately forced to resort to cannibalism. Hemsworth will star as a first mate who heroically leads the crew to safety following the whale attack.
