Restylane® FAQ's
Is Restylane effective?
Yes. Clinical studies show that patients injected with Restylane for the treatment of facial folds achieved an optimal cosmetic result. These results were sustained for a longer period of time (approximately five months, about twice as long) than with collagen.
How does Restylane work?
Restylane works in two ways: Upon injection into the mid to deep dermis (middle skin layer), the NASHA™ hyaluronic acid gel adds volume and fullness to smooth facial wrinkles and folds. It integrates into dermal tissue, then attracts and binds to water molecules to help maintain volume. NASHA™ hyaluronic acid is a normal component found in the dermis of human skin.
How long do results last?
The average treatment results last five months or longer. Recent scientific evidence demonstrates that if a second treatment of Restylane is given at either 4 1/2 or 9 months later, the results of the two injections may last up to 18 months.
Is any of the material left in the skin?
No. Unlike permanent fillers, Restylane is completely degraded. Over time, NASHA™ hyaluronic acid gel is eliminated by the body, leaving absolutely no trace of the injected material.
Is Restylane safe?
Yes. Restylane has been used safely by dermatologists and plastic surgeons worldwide since 1996. Because Restylane is non-animal-based and fully biocompatible, allergy testing is not required. The most commonly reported side effects were temporary redness and swelling at the injection site. These effects typically resolve within two to three days, although bruising, if it occurs, may last a little longer.
Is Restylane FDA-approved?
Yes. Restylane is approved by the FDA for the treatment of moderate to severe facial wrinkles and folds, such as nasolabial folds. It also is used to augment the fullness of the lips.
What should patients do prior to treatment?
Restylane requires no pre-testing, but patients should take a few precautions: avoid using aspirin, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medications such as ibuprofen (Advil), St. John's Wort, or high doses of vitamin E, as these may increase bruising or bleeding. If you have previously suffered from facial cold sores, there is a risk that needle punctures could contribute to recurrence.
How is Restylane different from BOTOX® and collagen?
Restylane is a natural cosmetic filler. Fillers add volume to the face and treat lines of facial expression that are not due to facial muscle activity. BOTOX® is a drug that blocks nerve transmission and relaxes the underlying muscles. Botox treats facial lines due to muscle pull. Many times both products are used, as they have different mechanisms of action and treat different types of lines, however the effects are synergistic.
Bovine collagen is derived from animals and requires an allergy test before it can be used. Because Restylane is a non-animal-based hyaluronic acid, it can be administered without pre-testing. In addition, it delivers a longer-lasting effect than bovine collagen.
What is hyaluronic acid?
Hyaluronic acid is a natural substance found in all living organisms. In humans, it is used to provide volume and fullness to the skin. The type of hyaluronic acid used in Restylane is called NASHA™.
What is NASHA?
NASHA is a patented, non-animal stabilized hyaluronic acid in clear gel form which is biosynthetically produced. NASHA is the first stable, biodegradable, non-animal form of hyaluronic acid.
If NASHA is not derived from animals, is it derived from humans?
No. NASHA is identical to the natural hyaluronic acid found in humans and all living organisms, but it is produced in a laboratory by a natural fermentation process. This is why skin testing is not necessary.
How is Restylane different from other hyaluronic acid-based products?
Unlike other hyaluronic acid-based products, such as those made from rooster combs, Restylane is non-animal-based. This quality virtually eliminates any risk of animal-based disease transmission or allergic reaction.
How is Restylane administered?
Restylane is administered by injection to the site where enhancement is desired.
Where is Restylane injected?
Dermatologists and plastic surgeons can maximize the intended effect of Restylane by injecting it into the mid to deep dermis. Contouring after the injection may be optimized by gently massaging the skin.
How long does the procedure take?
The procedure is simple and convenient, and results are practically instantaneous. Also, since Restylane does not require patients to have allergy testing, it is not necessary to wait to qualify for the procedure.
What happens if the material is not injected properly?
Results are technique-dependent; improper technique can impact the overall cosmetic effect or shorten the duration of the effect. For example, if Restylane is injected too deeply, the gel can shift in the tissue because its particles are too small in relation to the tissue structure at that level. Injecting Restylane too superficially can result in tissue disturbance or uneven contouring. A touch-up treatment can be scheduled two weeks after the initial treatment to correct any minor irregularities.

Bernice, you are my special guest today & 1st one who turned up! Oh, did you also make this? Sure, have some now as I always come to your place to take free bread!Delete
Hi Jessie, have been visiting ur blog for some time. 終於浮起來say hi了。。。。我住在Victoria, 很喜歡follow妳的blog!ReplyDeleteReplies
Hi, Natalie, thanks for saying hi here! Looks like I've known another new friend in Australia. Welcome welcome!Thanks for following my blog!Delete
Hi Jessie, when I saw the title Wholemeal, I hurried over to have a look because I am always looking for wholemeal recipes... I have never added yakult to my bread, I am just so amazed by this recipe which has wholemeal, yakult and yoghurt. Think if I substitute the butter for oil, then it will be super super healthy. Your loaf looks so soft...ReplyDeleteReplies
Mich, I didn't use the yakult in making the bread dough. I drained the dried longan & discard the yakult. I didn't explain clearly in my original recipe but I've done it now!Delete
Hi JessieReplyDelete
I loves this recipe bread too.... oh next time I will sprinkle roll ed oats too...I love that. Usually how do you knead the bread dough?
Bread machine or mixer or by your mighty hand? Your pai pau baked really beautiful.Replies
Mel, thanks you like the bread. I didn't use my hand to knead the dough as I'm not that good. Machine is good for beginner to get a smooth & elastic dough. I used a stand mixer, Kenwood brand. You can view the brand here: http://jessie-cookingmoments.blogspot.com.au/2012/02/winning-prizes-birthday-gift-ladies-day.htmlDelete

Jessie, wah....I look at your pai bao and I wish I can ask for at least one from you. It looks soft and yummy. I like bread a lot and I think if I make this pai bao, I can sekali gus eat all 6 :)ReplyDeleteReplies

There are no real limitations to this technique. It is suitable for any size chillies and works with both thin and thick fleshed varieties.
Your chillies should remain crisp until the following year's harvest, a feature you do not get from dehydrating them. Freezing also tends to soften the chillies due to bursting of the plant cells as they freeze.
I don't recommend ornate bottles and jars for the actual pickling process. Use wide-mouthed jars instead as it makes everything a lot easier. If you want to give these away as gifts or use them as a display, complete the pickling process first and then transfer the chillies to the bottle or jar that you want.
Ornate jars and bottles can be located at many of the discount stores and craft stores that cities around the world all seem to have.
Another option is supermarket specials where they are heavily reducing stock to get rid of it. There may be something else in the jar but you can either use that yourself or just throw it out – the end result is that the gift cost you $2.50 plus some chillies and your time.
Take note here also that you will get some colour change in your chillies once they are pickled in the jar - particularly green ones. This is will take place over time as chlorophyll is soluble in vinegar.
OK, here we go !
Pickling Your Chillies
As with the other preserving techniques, make sure you wash your chillies and eliminate any bruised or seriously blemished fruit. They will only go mushy in the pickle and you won't want to use them. Also, if you are pickling for presentation, blemished chillies will really spoil the effect.
Stuff You Need To Remember
A Few Recipes To Get You Started
Don't limit yourself to these two - use your imagination. Try adding other spices to the brine, layer the chillies by colour, put some vegetables in as well, .....
Basic Pickled Chillies
This recipe is for approximately 900g of chillies.
I soak the chillies overnight in the brine first as it keeps the chillies crisper when pickled.
Combine the salt and water. You don't want holes/slits in your chillies yet.
Cover the chillies with the brine in a bowl and put a plate or something similar over them to keep the chillies submerged.
Soak the overnight then drain, rinse well, and dry.
Pickling Solution
Poke two or three small holes in top of each chilli and pack them tightly in sterilized jars leaving 1cm (½ inch) at the top of the jar.
In a saucepan, combine the water, vinegar, and salt. Bring the solution to a boil and then pour over the chillies, leaving no space at the top. Remove trapped air bubbles.
Store for 4 to 6 weeks in a cool, dark place before serving.
Pickled Vege Garden
In this one I leave the amounts and particular ingredients up to you.
Arrange your choice of vegetables and chillies in sterilized jars.
Boil the water, vinegar and salt to a boil for about a minute. Pour over the vegetables, leaving no room at the top, and cover.
Allow the mixture to pickle for at least 3 weeks in a cool, dark place before serving.
Indian Chilli Pickle
A little variation I use on a recipe that I originally found in a book by Charmaine Solomon.
1 kg (2 lb) fresh red or green chillies - your choice of varieties
125 ml (4 fl oz) vinegar
2 tablsp chopped garlic
500 ml (1 pint) mustard oil - most asian stores sell this
1 tablsp fenugreek seeds
1 tablsp ground turmeric
2 teasp nigella seeds
2 tablsp black mustard seeds
2 teasp crushed asafoetida - all asian stores sell this
2 tablsp salt
Wash and dry the chillies.
Cut off stalks and slice chillies across into 1 cm (1/2 in) slices.
Sprinkle with salt and turmeric, toss to mix evenly, cover and leave for 2 days in the sun or place in a very low oven for 2 hours each day.
Soak the mustard seeds in vinegar overnight, and grind in an electric blender with the garlic.
Heat oil in a large pan and add the fenugreek and nigella seeds.
Heat, while stirring, until the fenugreek is golden brown, then add the asafoetida, stir, and add the blended mustard seeds and the chillies together with any liquid that is there.
Cook, stirring now and then, until the oil rises to the top and the chillies are cooked but soft.
Let it cool and put into sterilised jars.
Easy Chinese Pickled Chilli
The fish sauce obviously adds a different dimension to this however, the flavour is different from western pickles because of the rice vinegar which is less acidic and of milder flavour.
Place the vinegar and sugar in a saucepan, and stir over low heat, without boiling, until sugar is dissolved.
Then simmer, uncovered and without stirring, for about 5 minutes, or until mixture is slightly reduced.
Remove from the heat, stir in fish sauce and then add the chillies.
Store in a sealed jar in the fridge - it's ready to start eating after about 1 week and will keep for months.
That should be enough to get you started, or you can check out other options at;

Report: Seahawks cornerback Richard Sherman's appeal to be heard Dec. 14
Seahawks cornerback Richard Sherman will reportedly have an appeal of his four-game suspension heard on Dec. 14. (Christian Petersen/Getty Images)
Seattle Seahawks cornerback Richard Sherman's appeal of a four-game suspension will take place on Dec. 14, reports ESPN.com.
Sherman and fellow starting cornerback, Brandon Browner, both tested positive for Adderall and the NFL handed down the suspensions for violation of the league's performance enhancing drug policy. Browner does not have a date set for his appeal.
Sherman and Browner will play Sunday's game at home against the Arizona Cardinals.
USA Today reported that Sherman accidentally took the drug by drinking from a bottle into which a teammate poured a crushed Adderall pill.The Seahawks are 7-5 after Sunday's 23-17 overtime victory at Chicago and are in the sixth and final playoff spot in the NFC. Sherman has 48 tackles, four interceptions and one sack this season.

Alan Mulally, Michelle Obama,
Article Extras
Updated: January 23, 2012 3:48AM
WASHINGTON — Hemlines were soaked and raindrops spattered tuxedos, but not even a thunderous downpour could dampen the excitement of guests flocking to perhaps the most exclusive social event on Washington's fall calendar: a White House state dinner for South Korean President Lee Myung-bak.
"I love the rain. They don't have rain in Arizona," said Dr. Peter Rhee, the trauma surgeon who treated Rep. Gabrielle Giffords after she was shot in the head earlier this year.
"So much for the hair salon," said ABC News correspondent Juju Chang, holding up the floppy ends of her dark locks.
Even President Barack Obama took note of the soggy weather as he marveled at the intense day of diplomacy that took Lee from the White House to the Capitol and back again. "He's had a very busy day — and a very wet day," Obama said.
A driving rain began just as guests started to arrive for Thursday's opulent East Room extravaganza, soaking many of the guests and their finery as they waited in line to come in from the storm.
Hemlines on many of the floor-length gowns were visibly wet. Raindrops dotted tuxedo sleeves and lapels. One sodden guest hid behind her husband and refused to look in the direction of reporters watching the guest arrivals.
Besides better weather, the dinner also lacked Hollywood star power. Billie Jean King, a tennis great from days of yore, was one of the biggest names among the 220-plus invited guests.
King said she'd spent the day reading up on the just-passed U.S. free-trade agreement with South Korea and was "just excited to be here and be a part of it and share." It was her first state dinner.
For the occasion, Obama deployed maximum culinary diplomacy to signal his high regard for Lee. An intimate dinner at a suburban Korean restaurant on Wednesday was followed Thursday by lunch on the State Department's fine china and the dinner at the White House.
Obama has developed a special rapport with Lee: The two clicked during Obama's first trip to Asia in 2009, and the signs of friendship were manifold during his visit to Washington.
Obama and Lee shared a limo on the way to a Korean restaurant in a Virginia suburb for dinner Wednesday night. During the meal, Obama shared the long-awaited news — hot off his BlackBerry — that Congress had finished work on the U.S.-South Korea trade pact.
Vice President Joe Biden got in on the charm offensive at a lunch of lemongrass sesame chicken in the State Department's opulent Ben Franklin Room. He took note of Lee's nickname "Bulldozer" and said Lee, slight of build, doesn't look anything like an NFL linebacker, but had earned his nickname by taking apart and reassembling a bulldozer to figure out how to make it work better.
Biden called that a testament to Lee's perseverance and patience in pursuit of practical solutions. AP

Dietitians Association of Australia CEO Claire Hewat
Dietitians are calling for the health of Australians to take centre stage as the Federal Government works towards developing the nation's first National Food Plan.
The green paper for the plan, which aims to create a sustainable, globally competitive, resilient food supply that supports access to nutritious and affordable food, was open for public consultation until the end of September.
Dietitians Association of Australia CEO Claire Hewat said the government should prioritise the nation's health as it develops the plan, as well as considering trade and economic development.
"Health must be in the mix when discussing food policy, especially given the high
"We don't believe you can divorce food from nutrition and health."
Ms Hewat said despite Australia producing 60 per cent more food than was needed to feed every person in the country, Australia was rife with food and nutrition problems.
"The trouble is there's maldistribution of that and we have anywhere from three to five per cent of people, who are either individuals or families, who are not food secure.
"They do not have enough food to eat – this is in Australia today."
Ms Hewat said some remote Aboriginal communities were on par with malnutrition rates in parts of Africa while other vulnerable groups of Australians, including low income families, people living in rural and remote areas, the elderly and people with mental illness were also "generally worse off".
"There's plenty of good, healthy food in Australia but a lot of people either don't have access to it or they don't choose to eat healthy food because they are too overwhelmed by these things that are often cheaper or less healthy for them," she said.
"We need to improve food literacy in this country. We have an awful lot of people who don't know how to choose nutritious food and certainly how to cook it.
"We have got more than enough food to eat – too much in fact and too much of the wrong things.
"We are not as bad as the United States but we are certainly up there in terms of diet and chronic disease."
Ms Hewat said the National Food Plan required cooperation between agriculture and food industry sectors alongside other sectors, such as health, transport, housing, environment and education for it to be a success.
As part of its submission, the DAA has called for the plan to be integrated with the government's proposed new National Nutrition Policy.

Fountain Valley, CA
Kevin was going to get back to me about a future project, but somehow has either lost my contact info or decided not to for some other reason. There was no hurry, but I was curious about the project and he did say he'd give me an estimate.
Fountain Valley, CA
Project was well done. Mr. Hamill responded to my request within an hour. He completed the work the same day it was requested. He is knowledgeable and professional.
Fountain Valley, CA
The first call we made an appointment. He forgot it but came later that day. He replaced one sprinkler head but did not solve the gushing problem. He did say it would require a new valve costing $50 plus $50 to install. I felt that was too high.

Alex Harvey's had his share of World Cup podiums and even made history for Canada as the classic-sprint bronze medalist at World Championships last year.
But the men's 30-kilometer skiathlon on Saturday was different: this was World Cup Finals, this was Harvey's run for an overall World Cup podium on the line.
The Canadian remained in the top four throughout the entire race, following Sweden's Daniel Richardsson, Russia's Alexander Legkov, and Norway's Martin Johnsrud Sundby — who's essentially locked up the overall World Cup title — throughout much of the classic portion. After the transition to skating, Harvey started to take control, leading the group throughout much of the next 15 k while Richardsson gradually fell out of contact.
With Harvey, Legkov and Sundby pushing into one final 180-degree turn at the top of a climb, the Russian took the inside lane and Harvey seemed to be moving in slow motion — all part of his strategy. Harvey carefully followed Legkov and Sundby down into the stadium, catching their draft then threading the needle between them to move to second ahead of Legkov, who collided with Harvey and broke a pole.
While Sundby tried to outsprint Harvey, Legkov fell behind and came to grips with third. Harvey nipped Sundby by 0.4 seconds in 1:18.07.6, and Legkov finished 5.9 seconds back in third.
Yelling exuberantly at the finish, Harvey was soon congratulated by his teammate, Devon Kershaw, who placed 12th for his third-best individual result of the season.
Harvey improved to fourth in the overall World Cup standings, behind Sundby, Legkov and Norway's Chris Andre Jespersen, respectively, with one race to go. He is 133 points behind Jespersen for an overall World Cup podium, and will start Sunday's 15 k freestyle pursuit first (with the potential to win 200 World Cup points with a victory).
Richardsson took fourth in the skiathlon (+24.7), and Russia's Maxim Vylegzhanin led the chase pack to the finish in fifth (+53.9). He beat Norway's Eldar Rønning, who did much of the work to try to chase the four leaders throughout the race, by 0.8 seconds.
Noah Hoffman led the Americans in 18th, Ivan Babikov was 23rd for Canada. Also for the U.S., Reese Hanneman placed 38th, his second-best individual World Cup result after Friday's 31st, and Andy Newell was 39th.No comments

Not today Marit! That's what Marit Bjørgen's Norwegian teammate, Therese Johaug, might very well have been thinking Saturday as she sped away to a sizable victory in the women's 15-kilometer skiathlon — the penultimate race of World Cup Finals in Falun, Sweden.
After Bjørgen came within three seconds of her at the top of the overall World Cup standings, Johaug had to do one thing on Sunday: win. The bigger the gap, the better. Bjørgen, who won Friday's classic sprint but finished second to Johaug by 33.6 seconds on Saturday, will have to make up that time gap on her teammate to take the overall World Cup crown.
Johaug continued to gap her competition in the skate portion of the skiathlon, leading Bjørgen by 15 seconds at 9 k, then 23 seconds just over 2 k later. With fewer than three kilometers remaining, Johaug had at least 30 seconds separating her from Bjørgen, and she cruised to the victory in 41:08.9.
Finland's Kerttu Niskanen placed third, 56.6 seconds behind Johaug, and Norway's Heidi Weng beat out Sweden's Charlotte Kalla and another Norwegian Kristin Størmer-Steira to the finish in fourth through sixth, respectively. Sweden's Emma Wiken was seventh, Russia's Yulia Tchekaleva and Eva Vrabcova-Nyvltova eighth and ninth, and Norway's Ingvild Flugstad Østberg 10th.
Johaug now leads the overall World Cup by seven points, and 15th in the World Cup Finals mini tour.
Kikkan Randall is the top non-Norwegian in the standings in fifth, behind Astrid Uhrenholdt Jacobsen in third and Weng in fourth. The American placed 20th behind teammate Liz Stephen in 15th.
Sadie Bjornsen finished 21st for the U.S., along with Jessie Diggins in 36th, Ida Sargent in 37th, Caitlin Gregg in 40th, and Sophie Caldwell in 41st.
The lone Canadian at World Cup Finals, Andrea Dupont was 45th.No comments
March 14th, 2014
Sweden had one heck of a day on the first of three races at World Cup Finals on Friday, with Teodor Peterson edging his teammate Emil Jönsson by the narrowest of margins, fewer than one-hundredth of a second, for the victory in the men's 1.4-kilometer classic sprint in Falun, Sweden.
Peterson qualified fifth behind fellow Swede Calle Halfvarsson, then won his quarterfinal and semifinal en route to the final. There, he outlunged Jönsson in a photo finish with the exact same time of 2:55.97. Halfvarsson placed third, 1.01 back, and Canadian Alex Harvey finished fourth, 1.2 seconds behind Peterson, for his best classic sprint of the season. Russia's Sergey Ustiugov was six-hundredths of a second behind in fifth, and Norway's Eirik Brandsdal placed sixth (+4.44).
Another Norwegian, Ola Vigen Hattestad clinched his third Sprint World Cup title despite being relegated to last in his quarterfinal for obstruction. He qualified in sixth then ended up 30th, but topped Brandsdal by eight points for the Crystal Globe. Germany's Josef Wenzl also made the overall sprint podium in third, becoming the first German male to make the Sprint World Cup top three.
Norway's Martin Johnsrud Sundby, who did not qualify in 34th, continues to lead the overall World Cup standings by a whopping 471 points over Russia's Alexander Legkov. Chris Andre Jespersen of Norway ranks third, Halfvarsson is fourth, and Harvey is now 12 points behind the Swede in fifth.
American Andy Newell finished eighth after advancing as a lucky loser in third from his quarterfinal, then placing fourth in his semi. Newell was issued a written warning for skating, as was Martti Jylhae of Finland, who placed 12th overall.
Reese Hanneman of the U.S. missed qualifying by 0.45 seconds in 31st, Canada's Devon Kershaw placed 40th, American Noah Hoffman was 46th, and Canadian Ivan Babikov 47th.No comments

Norway's Marit Bjørgen and Ingvild Flugstad Østberg battled it out today on the 1.2-kilometer course in Falun, Sweden. Bjørgen won, just barely, edging her teammate by 0.29 seconds.
There was a body length to third-place Stina Nilsson of Sweden, who finished just over a second later, and then a larger gap to the rest of the field. American star and World Cup Sprint Cup winner Kikkan Randall finished fourth just over six seconds behind Bjørgen, followed within the next three seconds by Finland's Krista Lahteenmaki and American Sophie Caldwell in sixth. World Cup sprint points runner-up Denise Herrmann of Germany just missed the finals and finished seventh overall.
Though Randall clinched her overall Sprint Cup victory last week in Drammen, Norway, she was officially awarded the Sprint Globe today in Falun. This is Randall's third-straight Sprint Globe victory. Bjørgen has won a total of four times, and retired Norwegian star Bente Skari has five career Sprint Globe wins.
Bjørgen is currently within three points of overall World Cup leader Therese Johaug of Norway.
Other North American qualifiers include US Ski Team Sadie Bjornsen in 13th and Ida Sargent in 20th. Jessie Diggins missed qualification in 34th, Liz Stephen in 44th and Caitlin Gregg in 48th. Andrea Dupont was the lone Canadian to enter, finishing 46th.
Norwegian Astrid Jacobsen finished 22nd after a bad crash in last week's 30 k in Holmenkollen, Norway, which left her hospitalized with a concussion. Jacobsen is third in the World Cup standings.No comments

Who wins a race by almost two minutes? That would be Marit Bjørgen, Norway's multiple world champion and Olympic gold medalist, who racked up her fourth Holmenkollen victory in Sunday's 30-kilometer classic in Oslo, Norway.
Bjørgen gradually broke away from her Norwegian teammate and last year's 30 k freestyle winner, Therese Johaug, starting around 10 k in. Within six kilometers, Bjørgen was nearly a minute ahead of Johaug, who skied alone in second for the remainder of the race.
A few tried to close, but no one came close, as Bjørgen won by 1:41.2 minutes in 1:20:55.7. Johaug placed second, and Finland's Kerttu Niskanen finished third, another 44.6 seconds back. Bjørgen now trails Johaug by just 39 points for the overall World Cup lead.
Sweden's Charlotte Kalla took fourth (+2:46.6) after skiing with Niskanen from around 20 to 24 k, then dropping about 15 seconds behind. Finland's Aino-Kaisa Saarinen was fifth (+3:08.9), ahead of another Swede, Emma Wiken in sixth (+3:17.8).
It was nearly 45 seconds to the next finisher, with Eva Vrabcova-Nyvltova of the Czech Republic in seventh, Norway's Kristin Størmer-Steira in eighth, Sweden's Sofia Bleckur in ninth, and Finland's Krista Lahteenmaki in 10th.
Russia's Yulia Tchekaleva placed 11th and American Kikkan Randall was just 5.8 seconds back in 12th (+4:17.7). Norway's Heidi Weng placed 13th, and Sadie Bjornsen of the U.S. outsprinted another Norwegian, Ingvild Flugstad Østberg by 0.1 seconds for 14th (+4:27.8).
Also for the U.S., Liz Stephen placed 32nd, Sophie Caldwell was 35th, Caitlin Gregg finished 39th, and Ida Sargent was 42nd. Canada's lone woman entered in the 30 k, Andrea Dupont did not start. American Jennie Bender also did not start.No comments

Daniel Richardsson of Sweden carefully paced himself throughout the grueling 50 kilometers to win in Saturday's classic mass start World Cup at Holmenkollen in Oslo, Norway.
The race started fast, with skiers hungry for the bonus points at the end of each loop. Five skiers broke off the main pack early on: Martin Johnsrud Sundby of Norway, Alexander Legkov of Russia, Finland's Livo Niskanen, Sweden's Richardsson, and Lukas Bauer of the Czech Republic.
After the second lap all of the leading skiers pulled into the ski exchange except for Bauer, who looked to make a breakaway on the other four men. Bauer gained a twenty-second advantage by opting not to change skis. Sundby and Legkov led the chase, and by the time they reached the 22 k mark they had caught Bauer.
Sundby did the majority of the work at the front of the race, cheered on by the raucous crowd at Holmenkollen. 33 k into the race Sundby took the lead pack into the exchange for the second change of skis. Legkov, Richardsson, and Niskanen followed close behind him. Bauer had been dropped by over 30 seconds.
Shortly after the exchange it was Niskanen who was unable to stay with the pace, and by 36 k he was 18 seconds behind Sundby in the lead.
With three men left in contention for the race, it was Sundby and Legkov who traded leads, with Richardsson skiing behind the two. At 47 k Sundby made an attack up a climb. Richardsson managed to stay with the Norwegian, but Legkov lost contact by a couple of seconds. The Russian fought to catch up and nearly did, but soon fell back again.
Sundby led over the last hill, and as soon as the Holmenkollen stadium came into view with 800 meters left, Richardsson took off with a burst of speed that an exhausted Sundby couldn't match.
Richardsson carried his lead into the finish line to win with a time of 2:07:29. Sundby was second, a result that was good enough to secure him the overall World Cup title this season, and Legkov was third.
1. Daniel Richardsson (SWE) 2:07:29.5
2. Martin Johnsrud Sundby (NOR) +8.2
3. Alexander Legkov (RUS) +14.5
4. Livo Niskanen (FIN)+1:22.3

Still riding high from her Olympic gold medal, Norway's Maiken Falla claimed her first classic sprint victory in the Drammen sprints, barely edging her teammate, Marit Bjørgen, while Sweden's Stina Nilsson battled her way into third.
In the men's race the Norwegians also proved untouchable, with Ola Vigen Hattestad's longer legs allowing him the kick needed to get his toe across the line barely ahead of teammate Pål Golberg. In third place was Italy's Maicol Rastelli, after being given a new lease on life when a mid-race crash took Swedish contender Emil Jönsson and Finn Matias Strandvall out of the podium contention.
Alaskan World Cup sprint leader Kikkan Randall finished in 7th place after just missing the finals, but it was still good enough to wrap up her third-straight Sprint Cup title. Randall started toward the back of her semi-final heat, but powerful double-poling brought her into second place in the final stretch. However, the mad dash of high-tempo striding to the finish line proved too much, and Randall was edged by "less than a toenail" in a photo finish with Nilsson, leaving her in third place and missing her chance to advance to the finals.
Peri Jones was the top Canadian woman, finishing 24th, followed by a deep field of American women with Sadie Bjornsen in 30th, Ida Sargent in 35th, Sophie Caldwell in 37th, Holly Brooks in 48th and Jennie Bender, competing in just her second World Cup after last weekend's races in Lahti, Finland, finished 51st. Canadian Andrea DuPont was 58th.
Canadian Alex Harvey was the top North American man, finishing in 24th after advancing to the semi-finals but finishing fifth in a closely contested heat. Teammates Len Valjas and Devon Kershaw were 35th and 54th, respectively. American Andy Newell was 25th, bringing in the top finish for American men, followed by teammates Simi Hamilton in 32nd, Erik Bjornsen in 51st, and World Cup newcomers Reese Hanneman and Sylvan Ellefson in 61st and 69th, respectively.8 comments

After racking up three gold medals at the Sochi Olympics last month, Norway's Marit Bjørgen rose to the top of the podium in the first distance race back on the World Cup on Sunday in Lahti, Finland.
One of the later starters out of more than 80 women in the 10-kilometer freestyle individual start, Bjørgen worked into the race, taking the lead after the 6.3 k checkpoint and finishing 26.9 seconds ahead of runner-up Charlotte Kalla of Sweden.
Bjørgen won in 25:05.3, and another Norwegian, Therese Johaug finished 0.7 seconds after Kalla in third. Fourth in the freestyle sprint at the Olympics, Astrid Uhrenholdt Jacobsen placed fourth on Sunday (+30.1), and the fourth Norwegian in the top five, Heidi Weng was fifth (+34.9).
An early leader, Riitta-Liisa Roponen of Finland placed sixth (+51.0), and her teammate, Kerttu Niskanen was seventh. Sweden's Emma Wiken finished eighth, Finland's Kaisa Makarainen was ninth, and France's Coraline Hugue was 10th.
Kikkan Randall was the top American in 21st (+1:36.3). Liz Stephen finished 32nd (+1:53.7), Holly Brooks was 44th, and Caitlin Gregg 46th.
Alysson Marshall placed 62nd for Canada, and her Alberta World Cup Academy teammate was right behind in 63rd. Cendrine Browne was 68th, and Andrea Dupont 71st.No comments

Coming off a bronze medal at the Olympics in the 30-kilometer skiathlon, Martin Johnsrud Sundby of Norway showed everybody, including his mom, that he's at the top of his game with a win in Sunday's 15 k freestyle individual start in Lahti, Finland.
One of the later starters in the 90-plus-man field, Sundby finished with the fastest time of 33:05.5, more than 10 seconds ahead of anyone else.
Sweden's Daniel Richardsson took second, 10.7 seconds back, and Russia's Alexander Legkov, coming off gold in the Olympic 50 k skate exactly a week ago, placed third, 11.2 behind Sundby. Norway finished fourth through sixth with Anders Glørssen, Finn Hågen Krogh, and Sjur Røthe, respectively.
German U23 Florian Notz broke through in seventh in his first World Cup race, finishing 1.7 seconds ahead of Canada's Alex Harvey, who was eighth (+55.0). France's Jean Marc Gaillard took ninth, and Finland's Matti Heikkinen was 10th.
Noah Hoffman led the U.S. men in 24th. Erik Bjornsen, also of the U.S. Ski Team, was 51st. Reese Hanneman (APU) placed 73rd, and Sylvan Ellefson (SSCV/Team HomeGrown) was 79th.
After Harvey, Ivan Babikov placed 29th for Canada, Graham Nishikawa (Canadian Senior Development Team/Para-Nordic Team) was 41st, Devon Kershaw 43rd, Michael Somppi (AWCA) 58th, Kevin Sandau (AWCA) 80th, and Raphael Couturier (CNEPH) 85th.No comments

Pål Golberg of Norway seized victory in today's freestyle sprint in Lahti, Finland. Golberg, who's first World Cup win came in December's sprint in Lillehammer, received some luck on his path to the finish line. Golberg qualified for the final heat as a lucky loser, and found himself skiing for much of the final heat in second to last.
In the final, Matias Strandvallen (FIN) and Ola Vigen Hattestad (NOR) fell simultaneously but unrelated to each other, leaving the sprint to be contested by Golberg, Alexey Petukhov (RUS) in second, Eirik Brandsdal (NOR) in third, and Teodor Peterson (SWE) in fourth.
Emil Jönsson of Sweden was the favorite to win today having won the sprint race in Lahti the past three years. However, in his semifinal his ski went under Alex Harvey, causing him to collide with the Canadian and stand up on his skis to avoid falling in the final stretch. Jönsson tweeted, according to a translation: "Last three World Cup races, I have fallen / broken rod, in the Olympics, I stood up. Maybe will try to continue with that tactic #wisely #GrattisPål"
The North American results were led by Harvey in seventh, and American Simi Hamilton in 20th.
1. Pål Golberg (NOR)
2. Alexey Putkhov (RUS)
3. Eirik Brandsdal (NOR)
4. Teodor Peterson (SWE)
5. Matias Strandvall (FIN)
6. Ola Vigen Hattestad (NOR)

Autologous Stem Cell Transplant
For more information on the Transplant Program, call
A program of:
Approved as a National Cancer Institute transplant center and accredited through the Foundation for the Accreditation of Cellular Therapy, the Autologous Stem CellTransplant Program offers a promising treatment approach for specific types of cancer.
In this treatment, which is typically done when a person is in remission, high doses of chemotherapy are given to kill the remaining cancer cells. Blood stem cells or bone marrow, previously collected from the patient, are then re-infused into the patient where they return to the bone marrow to regenerate normal blood cells.
Much of the preparation for the transplant, which includes the work-up and stem cell collection process, is done on an outpatient basis. The patient comes into the hospital for the high dose chemotherapy and the re-infusion of stem cells.
This complex treatment requires the skills of many specialists. The care team is made up of individuals who provide comprehensive care, including hematologists/oncologists, radiation oncologists, infectious disease specialists, internal medicine residents, home care nursing staff, and oncology certified registered nurses. The nurse coordinator works with each patient to educate him or her about the transplant process, and to make sure all aspects of their care are coordinated.

My last Friday Message from Baltimore ..
Ok, it's Saturday – my laptop is set up on a TV tray. I am surrounded
by boxes and paper and bits and pieces that didn't go on the truck
yesterday. It started out as a sad morning as I found myself making
food for 3 cats when I now only have two. Beautiful Bella is gone.
As I said my final goodbye to Bella, I also got a very clear
realization that this was the end of Baltimore. She came into my life
just a few months after I got here, and she left just as I am. Bella's
passing helped me to cry, not only for her, but for everyone that I
already miss. Her final gift to me was helping me express my sadness
for the leaving the life I had created here.
Yet, even in the sadness the sun is shining, and cool air is coming
through the screen door. Romy is playing in the packing paper pile
making me laugh. My coffee tastes very good. The whirl-a-wind of
sorting, packing, cleaning, making arrangements for my new life is
winding down. A lot of love has been shared in the past couple of
weeks, and I've gotten awesome confirmations that I've made a difference
Thirty years ago, my teacher, Rev. Helen Street, and my practitioner
classmates were sitting in a restaurant after class. As usual, our
class conversations continued. Helen was sharing a bit of Emma Curtis
Hopkins' teaching that said something about our true name being
emblazoned across our foreheads. She asked us what ours was. The first
word that popped into my mind was TRUST. I remember her clapping,
laughing and saying she could see it.
At a deeper level 'trusting' means surrendering. I had to let go of my
stories, feelings, possessions, people, and my ideas of how I believed
life should be.
I decided to create a new 'word' for this time period. I chose
Beloved. OMG! What an amazing experience I've had. From getting a
part time job and learning to live with a very small income, flying
across the country to interview with the Eureka Center, finding out that
my birth mother loved me which changed everything I thought I knew
about my birth story … and that she had lived in Eureka when I was with
her, to getting accepted as the new pastor of the Eureka Center and
realizing I was making plans to go home! WOW! What an amazing
adventure! And it's not over yet!
All because, in the face of seeming challenges, I Trusted and moved into
the consciousness of The Beloved. The past seven months have proven
that the Science of Mind really works and taken me even further into the
Religion of the Heart. I am so grateful!
Where in your life do you need to Trust more? Just do it – you'll be amazed.
I'm leaving Monday to drive across country with my cats. If you've
felt inspired by my messages and would like to add to my Travel Fund,
please use my PayPal account – firstname.lastname@example.com. My car, cats and I thank you!
I open my heart and my mind to trust the Infinite Intelligence that is
this universe. This Infinite Intelligence is in the Great Heart and so
am I. We are all part of the One.
I now declare I have the consciousness of Trusting. I let go of my
stories of fear, lack and limitation, in my physical being, my way of
working in the world, my relationships and my finances. The Universe
already knows what I desire – so I get out of Loves way and let it do
Its work. I surrender to my greater good.
I celebrate - I am grateful for everything. I release these words knowing they are so, and so it is.

A Love Story
In May, I participated in Panache DeSai's 33 day program online with his new book - "Discovering Your Soul Signature." One thing about doing spiritual work, anything that needs to be released comes up. In my case, deep childhood emotional wounds of rejection and abandonment came to the surface once again.
Those feelings started with being adopted at 2 1/2. My new Mother told me over and over again as I was growing up that I wasn't wanted, that my birth mother had rejected me from the day I was born, and was always trying to find a way to get rid of me. Then on a recent Saturday afternoon I got a big envelope in the mail from my brother. He had found something in my late Father's things he thought I might want. He sent me the file from my adoption.
In the file were various legal briefs and as I turned the pages I discovered three letters from my birth mother to my new father. She wrote about her hesitation to sign the adoption papers, (It took her 9 months) how hard it was to let go, and her love of me in each one of them. She wrote that even though her heart was breaking, she believed the adoption would be for the best.
My first thought was "I've been living a lie all these years!" I HAD been wanted and loved. I wasn't rejected or abandoned!
My first thought was "I've been living a lie all these years!" I HAD been wanted and loved. I wasn't rejected or abandoned!
Something shifted at the very core of my being. I haven't totally groked what's happened, nor can I explain it, but I know it's good. I feel lighter in many ways.
I also realized once again, that life really is a series of stories. We begin writing them as little children based on what others say and how we feel about it. We really are the writer, the actor, the director and the producers of our reality. As we write, the Universe constantly rearranges Itself to fit our picture of reality. We get to live our original stories over and over again. In fact we add to those stories daily.
I started to think about the stories I am telling myself now. Are they positive and uplifting? Are they stories of love and wonder and delight in life? They'd better be! These stories are creating my future.
How about you? Your stories are creating your future as well. If you want to know what your stories are, look around and listen to your self talk. That ongoing dialogue and its accompanying feelings are a vibration that sets the Law of Attraction in action. As the writer, the director, the actor, and the producer, you have a built in rewrite option that can be used at any time.
Each of our stories is adding to the collective consciousness of humanity. Our rewrite option is so important now. Thank God we're such creative beings! Join me in writing the greatest Love Story ever.
God is Love. God being omnipresent means Love is absolutely everywhere, therefore. Love is what I am made of and who I am. As I know this for myself, I know it for everyone. There is nothing but Love.
I am open to feeling all of my feelings and letting them move through me with ease and grace. I am open to the mysteries and wonder of our world. I have turned the page and started a new chapter. I honor my old stories and joyfully write new ones that reflect the beauty and Love of all Life.
With a light heart, a clear head and a pure heart, I gratefully release these words to Divine Law, knowing they have been lovingly embodied and have uplifted my whole being! And so it is.

Laugh at Yourself
I had been trying to listen to SLRN (Spiritual Living Radio Network) and was getting very frustrated with my laptop -- suddenly the sound wouldn't work! Even though it was turned all the way up, I could only hear a faint bit. I checked Windows help, Mozilla help and Sony VAIO help, and nothing they suggested worked, so figured I'd have to take it to the computer repair shop for a new speaker. I started thinking anxiously about time and money. I shut the computer off and went out to rake up magnolia blossoms. How delightful it was to be outside. When I came back I clicked on a video in FB, having forgotten about the sound problem. Again I could only hear a faint sound. I had read in the VAIO manual that the speaker was on the right side so I leaned over to try to hear it better. To my surprise the sound was coming from my earphones! I unplugged them and almost got blasted out of my chair! I felt foolish for not noticing that before!
I had purchased the books for my book circle and not everyone was at the next meeting to pick up their books. I set them aside so they could pick them up at the next meeting. That week came, and still one person hadn't gotten their book. The next week they arrived happy to pick it up, but I couldn't find it. I looked all over my table, which is also my desk, and it was gone. I thought someone might have picked it up by accident, and asked everyone to check at home. How foolish I felt the other day when I took some papers off my printer to use it, and discovered the 'missing' book.
If these things had happened before I found the Science of Mind, I might have done an "I'm so foolish" spiral, and been embarrassed. Because of my age, I might have gone into a story about "Oh no! my mind is going!" Instead, I felt foolish for a moment and then started laughing. How creative I was to make up the stories I did about the two experiences! How grateful I am both were both resolved easily.
I did ask myself: "What else am I missing? What else have I made up a story about, and then accepted that story as real?" How about you?
The Spirit within me is all knowing and unconditionally loving. It is everywhere present. It fills me with a conscious awareness of my place in this world.
I now declare that it is my intention to pay more attention. I am now more consciously aware of not only my surroundings, but the stories I am telling myself about them. I remember the Truth – all there is, is God. God is not foolish. God cannot get lost. God is the energy of Love. I choose to experience and express even more Love than I ever have before. This is my new story and it is a good one!
Gratefully I release these words into the Law of Mind, knowing they have been easily embodied.
And so it is.

Changes .....
My life changed drastically this winter. I was working and loving what I was doing, and the next moment wasn't working and feeling a deep sense of loss. A friend's sister had written a blog titled "Nothing Prepared Me for This." And that's the Truth. Nothing in my life prepared me for what I was experiencing. I felt like I was walking through a thick fog, doing what was in front of me to do, stranded alone except for a couple of friends, (thank God for them!) The ease and joy of life was gone. I was full of self- doubt about my abilities and unsure as to whether my vocation was still viable. I didn't know what I would do. I felt lost, abandoned, even shunned.
I allowed myself to really feel the confusion, disappointment and sadness. At the same time I was feeling grateful to have this teaching as my foundation. I knew how to take responsibility for my experience. Not responsibility for what others said or did, but responsibility for my actions and reactions. I remembered I could count on Spiritual Law, and trust that powerful, Loving Presence within me. After a few weeks, I started to feel alive again, and with the coming of Spring, even more so. A part-time job came about quite synchronistically and my pet sitting business started to grow again.
I started receiving invitations to be a guest speaker at various Centers, and with each opportunity, I again realized my passion is still the ministry. I have no doubts about my vocation. I sent out candidating packages to 4 Centers needing a Spiritual Leader. I know the Universe is leading me to the right and perfect place for me and all concerned.
Sure, there are times I get fearful, like when my bills aren't being paid so I can pay the rent, but I also know this is temporary. I KNOW I can trust the Law of Mind to honor my dominant thoughts and feelings, so I stay centered in Peace and Love. I've also realized that living in the "groundlessness of being" as Pema Chrodin calls it, is not a bad place to be!
No, nothing prepares us for sudden changes, however, maintaining our daily spiritual practices during the good times helps us stay centered and trusting during our challenges. Everything always works out perfectly, for the highest and best for all!
There is that within me that is infinitely intelligent and unconditionally loving. I know this Presence as God – a Divine Energy that is the Source and substance of all things. How grateful I am to constantly remember this.
I now declare into the Law of Mind for myself and all else who are experiencing challenges of any kind, that we KNOW we can change our minds right now and effect change. I declare that Life is providing us with an abundance of trust, self-confidence and inner peace, and we are open to receiving it. We move through our challenges with ease and grace. We have a deep understanding of their message. Divine Mind is assisting us in attaining and maintaining the consciousness of the life we desire to live, and it feels good.
I am grateful to facilitate change. I am grateful to know the Truth of our being. God in us, as us, is doing Great Work.
I release these words into the Law of Mind, knowing they've been embodied and we are living from a Higher Truth And so it is.

Rev. Angelica's Wild Ride.
I saw a picture of a roller coaster the other day and realized that's what my life has been like lately. I got on it just before the holidays and the ride's not over yet. Not really the pattern I wanted to set for 2014, but we do what's in front of us, eh? It's Rev. Angelica's Wild Ride.
Now, I've never been a big fan of roller coasters. I normally avoid them, yet once one gets on, it's got to be ridden to the finish.
As usual, I'm working on being in the moment and being observant. When the ride is climbing up I can breathe –when it's heading down and accelerating, it's scary. I've noticed that when I'm afraid it's because I feel like I'm out of control.
I know I'm not the only one having this experience. I decided to look up "fear of roller coasters." As I perused the various articles, I came up with these points to help us:
1. Make sure you're not thinking that someone else has pressured you into being on this ride – this will only add to the feeling of not being in control. I know I attracted this ride – maybe I don't know why I did, but I will.
2. Remember to breathe. Breathing helps me center myself.
3. Let yourself feel the ride. Some of my feelings have been various types of loss, anger, sadness, and feeling 'not enough'. They all come down to fear. Feel the fear, knowing it's part of the process and it's temporary.
4. During the ride, scream. It's important to express your feelings. Thinking your feelings are negative and covering them by being positive doesn't make the feelings go away. It just buries them. Feelings buried decompose. Talk to someone or journal.
5. Outsmart the "scare factor." Remember that the loops and sudden drops are part of the ride and are perfectly safe. Think of the car you're sitting in as The Divine. Remember my fear of the ride heading down and speeding up? Someone once told me not to look down – to tilt my head back and look up. In fact, look up and smile!
6. When you're in overwhelm, close your eyes. Go within. Pray, meditate, chant – do whatever you do to become centered again.
7. Sit in the front car – face it, feel it, and the ride will be over quicker!
The musician Sting said: "Crisis is essential to creativity; it's what makes you do things you couldn't do before. Being in a stable situation (might produce)… nicely balanced work – but not the really good stuff. The really good stuff comes from pain, not comfort. Pain is essential. If you have not got pain, then you had better go out and get some."
With what I've written, you might think my life's been terrible, but it hasn't. Most of the time, I am filled with a deep peace. I'm having fun living in the gap between what I know and what I don't. I do Know everything is working out for my highest and best good - and it will for you too. God's got our back. I also Know this: When things seem like they've broken down, the Truth is, they've broken through!
We live in a Field of infinite potentiality. This Field is the Energy of God. It is the Source and substance of all there is. It is everywhere present. It is all power. It is all intelligence. It resides in and works through us at every moment. This is the Truth.
Regardless of appearances, regardless of how I feel, I remember this Truth at a deep soul level. I lean on this Truth. I know God's got my back. This Field I am calling God, is working through my thoughts and feelings, attracting to me that which I am focusing on. I refuse to dwell in fear. I continually choose to think on things that are good, things that are pleasing to my mind and heart, things that nourish my soul.
The roller coaster of Life is now a fun and exciting ride, one that will add many wonderful stories to my collection. God is good. Life is good. All is well.
Gratefully I celebrate knowing God in me, as me, is living a wonderful life.
I release these words into the Law of Mind, feeling them sink deep into my subject mind with ease. And so it is.

Being With What Is
The day before Christmas I was making scalloped potatoes using a mandolin slicer. I sliced my finger. Just a tiny cut that bled profusely, (not into the potatoes), that I took care of with medicine and a Band-Aid. I felt like I had to be very careful and protective so it wouldn't hurt again.
Life is like this. Something hurts me emotionally, and I try to protect myself. I try to protect myself by resisting what is, blaming, or making new rules. For instance, I wanted my finger to heal instantly, I blamed myself for not using the mandolin correctly, and for a short time, I decided to never use the mandolin slicer again.
I also want to tell the story, and I want a listener to feel sorry for me or agree with me. In the past, I might have told people "Look I sliced my finger!" and if I didn't get what I needed I'd tell someone else, and with each telling the story would get bigger – "Look I almost sliced my finger off!"
Four days later I've forgotten that tiny cut unless I'm doing something that involves the sliced finger. Then it hurts.
Life is like that as well. I think I'm resolving whatever it was, then something comes up that brings everything back in my face again.
This cut is helping me understand the Buddhist concept of 'being with what is." At the moment of the pain, I can't resist it, I can only breathe through it, knowing that everything is temporary. My body is self-repairing. When I don't resist, I don't blame or make new rules or keep telling the story.
As a metaphysician, what do I do while "being with what is?" Dr. Holmes writes in the Science of Mind "A thought of Love is always healing… " Yes, I love. I love myself, my finger, my emotions and even the mandolin slicer.
God is Love and Love is the greatest healing agent in the universe. God is all there is which means Love is all there is, so this is who I am – Love made manifest.
I now choose to let my thoughts and feelings rest in Love. I let Love be my autopilot, moving me constantly back to center. In the center, I am with what is, always choosing the way to love everything and everyone, including myself, into the highest and best good.
How grateful I am to experience The Divine in so any ways, especially Love. I now release these words into the Mind and Heart of God, knowing they are so, and so it is.

About Kim Burton
I live in Yorkshire, England with my husband, 2 children and chocolate Labrador, Barney. We both work but love nothing more than a trip to the Scottish Highlands to escape the 'rat-race' and relax for a while. From our very first visit, we instantly fell in love with the Highlands. The scenery is beautiful and the peace and tranquility are so relaxing. We love to go out for walks with the Barney, who in turn, loves nothing more than a run in the forest and a swim in the Loch! We love it so much that we've now decided it's where we want to live, so are currently in the process of relocating to the Highlands!!
Kim Burton purchased this cottage in 2007
Why Kim Burton chose Loch Ness
We'd holidayed in the next village for a few years running and fell in love with the quiet villages on the South East side of the Loch. We noticed this property for sale whilst driving past one day and instantly loved the location, and the potential it had! It's a perfect base for us during our visits to the Highlands, and was about as near to the shore of Loch Ness as we could get! As we don't get up to the Highlands as often as we'd like, mainly due to work committments, we decided we'd like to share our home with others wanting to visit Loch Ness, so decided to rent it out as a holiday let.
What makes this cottage unique
The background 'hum' of the Falls of Foyers pouring down the hillside whilst you're snuggled up in bed, is something to treasure forever - it's such a tranquil noise, and definitely helps to have a peaceful nights sleep!! The cottage could be a million miles from anywhere due to it's location on a quiet road at the edge of the village, but is still close enough to get to the shops etc... with a quick car journey. The snow in winter is magical!!!
