Impact of sinusitis
More than 37 million Americans suffer from sinusitis every year, making it one of the most common health conditions in the country
Traditionally, those who suffer from the pain, pressure and other symptoms of recurring and persisting sinus infections have two routes to relief:
(1) medical therapy (antibiotics, steroids, etc.)
(2) functional endoscopic sinus surgery (FESS)
Now, qualified patients have a new treatment option, a simple office procedure called balloon sinus dilation.
Balloon sinus dilation is a minimally invasive treatment option that can be performed by Dr. Ian Alexander from the New Mexico Sinus Institute, right here, at Lovelace Westside Hospital. The objective of balloon sinus dilation is to reshape anatomy to expand sinus pathways and restore drainage. The procedure utilizes small balloons placed in key places in the nose and sinus, which are then dilated to expand the sinus pathways. It may be an effective, lasting option for some patients whose symptoms do not resolve with medication.[i]
The balloon sinus dilation procedure may not require general anesthesia, and in many cases the patient is able to resume normal activities within 24 hours.[ii] Dr. Alexander can determine if your condition is one that may benefit from balloon sinus dilation and can help you understand the risks and benefits of this treatment option.
Discuss Balloon Sinus Dilation with the New Mexico Sinus Institute today!
Dr. Alexander is a trained and experienced user of balloon sinus dilation technologies. Call us today at 994.9435 to make an appointment to determine if balloon sinus dilation is right for you.
To learn more about sinusitis treatment options and balloon sinus dilation, visit www.SinusSurgeryOptions.com.
Balloon sinus dilation technology may be used to treat certain conditions affecting the sinus above your eyebrows, behind your cheeks and eyes. Your physician will need to determine if your condition is one that may benefit from this treatment and can help you understand the risks and benefits of this procedure. To learn more about this procedure and the potential risks, ask your physician.

"I've made this 3 times already. I love the marinade so much that I made a little extra. I heated it in a saucepan and used it for dipping. But, the chicken doesn't need it. I was like a fancy steakhouse. Juicy and super flavorful."

Earth history is recorded at many scales. Trees accumulate decades, centuries, even millennia of layered rings reflecting climate variations of time past. Sediments are laid down over eras and epochs, sometimes carried to the deepest parts of the ocean and immediately buried. Paleontologists have organized plant and animal fossils to date many formations. Macrostratigraphy is an emerging technique used by geologists to tie together data from disparate regions. It's in the limelight now, with a recent letter published in Nature, and an upcoming paper in the GSA Bulletin. Both use data synthesized within the Macrostrat project at the University of Wisconsin-Madison.

Best Store in Olde Town Arvada Denver 2008 - Rheinlander Bakery
5721 Olde Wadsworth Blvd.
Arvada, CO 80002
Readers' Choice: D Note
Tradition runs deep at Ed and Maro Dimmer's Olde Town bakery, which has been an Arvada mainstay since their folks, Jakob and Katharina, opened it more than forty years ago. Along with the everyday, though hardly mundane, fare of butter-laden Bienenstich layered cookie pastries, iced linzer tarts, sticky buns, coffeecakes and rough-hewn homemade strudels stuffed with fruit and cheese, Rheinlander offers hot cross buns in spring and really shines during the holidays, when the siblings trot out a full arsenal of marzipan-laced stollens, nut-filled Polish potica rolls, springerle and pfeffernusse cookies and spiced lebkuchen gingerbread. Guten appetit!

The newly established forum, 'VWGolf.net.au' has launched in style with a fantastic turnout at their maiden social event last Sunday. The forum is no more than two months old and already has a few hundred enthusiasts on it's boards.
The pack wound their way up the Old Pacific Hwy to Terrigal enjoying the beautiful weather and scenery. Heaps of immaculate VWs, and plenty of friendly people to boot.
The Lowdown was there to cover the drive up, which included a chance sighting of the super rare Ducati Desmosedici RR. Perfect roads, nice cars, and good people made for an ideal day. We can honestly only see better things to come from this forum.

A HUGE box arrived at the office today, it was from our good friend Adele/catlover in Fargo ND. I admit, I peeked inside, but waited until I got home to tear into the stash so I could take a pic of her packing efforts. Check it out!
Party in a box! Here is everything unpacked but still wrapped. Here we go, all of my surprises from Adele! A very cool set of appetizer plates and a two tier server, my first official set of appetizer servers. I love it!! They will be put to good use in the near future as the kick off to lake season is just around the corner. Plus if things work out I should be having a small dinner party next month. Next, a great set of drinking mugs to remember my swap pal and the great state of ND. I can see some coffee and Bailey's happening here…..or better yet I have a few in my group that would benefit from a handle on their glass after they've had a few! LOL! Here is a close up of them. Then we have some regional foodie things from the area. Fargo is right on the border of MN, and they share some regional favorites. The first thing out of this bag was some Minnesota Wild Rice. I love rice of any kind and wild is one of my favorites. Next, The Best of Wild Rice Recipes by Beatrice Ojakangas, very nice cookbook with some great recipes. One that caught my eye right away was a wild rice soup with pecans, I have an unlimited supply of local pecans so that may be the first one to be made. Next we have Wild Juneberry Jam, I have never heard of this and can't wait to try it. Red Rhubarb and Raspberry Jam are next, I'm going to have to share some of this with Mom, she loves rhubarb as much as I do. Then to take care of my chocolate cravings she sent me some Moose and Loon Droppings. I have already had a few and I doubt they will make it through the weekend! YUM! Last but not least some party favors, first some Mardi Gras Beads, these will come in handy as the marinas and clubs are gearing up for Fat Tuesday and Mardi Gras celebrations in general. Lakers love to party! Nest a Crown Royal Belt Buckle, OMG, I love it!! I'll have to wear this out one night but it will find a place in my collection of shot glasses, I also collect the Crown glasses that come out every year. Here is a close up of it. No notches happening on in this one! LOL! Check it out! Last but not least a CD with a musical tribute to the state of OK, I've never heard a couple of these songs, but what a hoot, it ends with the famous Living on Tulsa Time. Anyone remember Don Williams? I'll be sure and share this with friends and family, look out American Idol, we have karaoke here! Here is a pic of all of my great swap items. Adele also included a nice letter, card, and a copy of a blog from a law clerk that is transferring to Fargo from DC for their clerkship. I think they are a little nervous about the winter and the wind chills, I was ROFL while reading it. Reminded me of my younger days in MN, I wimp out at anything below 50 now! LOL!! Adele, thank you so much for a great package, everything is just great and will be put to good use. If you feel your ears burning in the future you will know I'm sharing/using the great things you sent me. Being one of the few guys that hang out here and don't post a lot you did a great job with my swap box. Looking forward to meeting you at Canny Camp my friend and swap partner!! David

I just had to post this
The visual implications that America should be a theocracy are no doubt frightening. But I find it funny that this video, like so many others that critiqued the "Home Invasion" ad that I helped produce, talks about how appalling it is that my ad implied that members of the Mormon Church were "violating the rights of a same-sex couple".
Guess what?
That's exactly what this is: Ken Starr, as legal counsel for Yes on 8, filed to divorce 18,000 legally married same-sex couples and take away their rights. Now, I'm still waiting for the first person to tell me how what the Yes on 8 campaign has done is substantially different from what my ad portrayed. I don't care if you take away someone's right in a court or if you come to their house and shred their license. Being divorced against someone's will hurts just the same.

DescriptionIn PCS 7 V5.1 onwards it is possible to optimize controllers using the commissioning tool "PCS 7 PID Tuner". The tool makes measurements to determine the process parameters and then suggests the optimum settings for the controller. If required, you can apply these settings immediately.
You can optimize controllers of the "PCS 7 Library", "PCS 7 Advanced Process Library" V7.1 onwards and function-compatible controllers. In the case of step-action controllers, it is also possible to determine the motor actuating time.
Instructions The instructions below show you how to use the PCS 7 PID Tuner taking the example of a continuous PI controller.
Additional information is available in the relevant readme file and in the Online Help of the PCS 7 PID Tuner. A practical example of how to operate using the PCS 7 Advanced Process Library (APL) is shown in the document entitled "PID Control with Gain Scheduling and PID Tuning" (Entry ID: 38755162).

You may know your Hong Kong-style martial-arts flick conventions, you may not, it doesn't matter: There's a moment in the first fight sequence of Ang Lee's thrilling romantic saga Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon when you realize that the filmmaker has led you to a land of epic storytelling very much his own, one fantastically independent of the laws of physics. One velvety dark night in long-ago imperial China, Yu Shu Lien (Michelle Yeoh), a beautiful, highly skilled warrior, pursues a masked thief who has stolen the legendary sword of Shu Lien's great friend and fellow artist Lee Mu Bai (Chow Yun-Fat).
Shu Lien is lithe, but so, too, is the thief, who appears, in dainty size and quick grace, to be another woman, Jen (porcelain-lovely young Zhang Ziyi). Like Shu Lien, Jen is a guest at the home of the eminent elder Sir Te (Lung Sihung). Unlike Shu Lien, Jen is a young person who doesn't yet understand herself. The two clang swords in a flashing duet choreographed by the great fight master Yuen Wo-Ping (he made Keanu Reeves fly in The Matrix). And as they parry, the two women leap from wall to wall, propelled like Fred Astaire. Then they tiptoe on the tiled roof and vault from building to building. You watch, vaulting with them, excited, and when the bout ends... you've burst into applause.
The fights in Crouching Tiger are breathtaking, matched by Lee's ability to create psychological depth. As in so many of his projects, this is a story about the gaps between imperfect human beings and their ideals of behavior and social intercourse. Also characteristic are the exquisitely small gestures Shu Lien's hand touching Mu Bai's, say, in a swooning moment between an ardent Yeoh and Chow that convey swells of emotion. But in this story, especially, Lee also advances a revolutionary agenda of female equality, in a country that traditionally officially undervalues females. ''A baby girl! Good!'' Shu Lien exclaims to Sir Te upon learning of the birth of an infant. ''I'll be glad if she's as strong as you,'' the old man replies.
Lee has said that making a Hong Kong-style martial-arts film was always his dream. While in reverie, then, the director who first came to prominence with his ''Father Knows Best'' trilogy (including The Wedding Banquet) created his own refined interpretations of English literature (Sense and Sensibility), 1970s Stateside suburban malaise (The Ice Storm), and the American Civil War (Ride With the Devil). As it turns out, the dream deferred has been worth the wait. Soaring and romantic, wild and serene, feminist and gutsy, Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon is one of the best movies of the year. A

PHOENIX -- A committee of the Arizona Legislature approved a proposal that would outlaw female genital mutilation that's known as female circumcision.
The Senate Judiciary Committee voted 8-1 on Monday to endorse the bill by Republican Sen. Judy Burges of Sun City West.
The proposal would bar genital mutilation on girls under 18 years old and would make a first-time violation punishable by five to 14 years in prison and a minimum $25,000 fine.
The bill also would bar the defense that such procedures were done with the consent of the girl or her parents.
Burges says female genital mutilation is a problem that's beginning to appear in the United States.
Democratic Sen. David Bradley voted for the measure but questioned whether there were already laws that would address female genital mutilation.

The town of San Juan Bautista, California, is located three miles east of Highway 101, approximately 45 minutes by automobile southeast of San Jose, California. Bursting with character - old and new - and bustling with shops, antique stores, one-of-a-kind shopping, galleries, and restaurants, San Juan Bautista is one of Central California's unique treasures.
Founded as a Euro-American town on June 24, 1797 by Franciscan Padre Fray Fermin Francisco de Lasuen, the town was situated adjacent to the pre-existing Mutsun (Ohlone/Costanoan) village of Popeloutchom.
The original inhabitants of the San Juan Valley were the Mutsun, who have been identified as a branch of the larger Ohlone or Costanoan cultural and linguistic group of the central and northern coasts of California. Original settlements consisted of thatch-covered structures with rock-lined hearths and utensils ranging from groundstone mortars and pestles to arrowheads and related stone tools. Other related peoples in the region are known to have occupied the region over 5,000 years before the present.
The center of town is situated about the Old Mission of San Juan Bautista, which was built over the earliest buildings erected by the Spaniards and Mutsun at the site of Popeloutchom. Though the earliest constructions began in 1797, the main quadrangle that dominated much of the mission period, is largely gone. Constructed in its earliest phase in 1800, and expanded in 1810, 1812, and 1816, the quadrangle and convento were the heart of early mission life. The Old Mission, which has undergone many phases of construction and reconstruction, remains a focal point of community activity.
The state park, and plaza, and the many of the remaining 19th century buildings that surround the Plaza, date from the early to mid-1800's. Many of the family names associated with these early California buildings are still important names within the community life of San Juan Bautista. It is for the preservation of the histories of these early California families, and many of the descendants and later settlers of the San Juan Valley, that the San Juan Bautista Historical Society was formed.

I'm just showing you what I was able to do using the parts mentioned, but I'm pretty happy with the results, especially as we're about to get an ice storm here that will no doubt knock out our power for a bit.
A couple of notes: The trigger MUST be held down for this to work. The drill is in reverse setting and cranked in reverse.

Bugzilla – Bug 4188
trigger/container faisl on just expired proxy and can not recover
Last modified: 2006-02-15 15:01:14
You need to log in before you can comment on or make changes to this bug.
Hi, I have a small monitoring setup for esg that runs on X509_USER_PROXY instead of the default host container cert/key. That proxy is being refreshed everyday at the same time. It seems if container with trigger hit that time exactly right that it detects invalid proxy but even with that proxy being refreshed, container never recovers. I have seen this on solaris 10 box using stock GT4.0.1 and also on a linux box (Using HEAD). mei
Created an attachment (id=836) [details] container log The proxy expired around 2006-01-24 16:12:09 replaced it with a long-live one around Jan 24 17:45
Created an attachment (id=839) [details] container log with HEAD GT the time when the proxy got renewed is: Feb 2 12:35 x509_mei
Hi, I installed a similar setup with HEAD. It looks like the problem is not there anymore. So, I think there is no need to track this and I just have to wait for a new release of GT. thanks. mei
So you only see this problem with GT 4.0.1 but not HEAD? It needs to be fixed either way.
Yes. only on stock 4.0.1 release. On HEAD, there are some MDS warnings coming out after the recovery . Mike will be looking at them to make sure they are harmless. thanks mei
I just committed a potential fix to the 4.0 branch code. Can you please retest and see if you still see this error ? Thanks, Rachana
This should be fixed now in trunk & globus_4_0_branch. The main reason for this bug was improper socket closing in case of expired credentials. This bug also uncovered a number of other issues in trunk & branch, all of them should be addressed now. The container code in branch was fixed to close the right socket in case of an credential error (trunk was ok). The JGlobus secure socket code was updated to automatically close the socket in case of error during authentication. Also, trunk & branch was made to behave in the same way when dealing with expired credentials and credential refresh. For example, if server has an expired credential, the client will now get a nice error message indicating so. Also the branch credential refresh code was improved to match trunk's.

We have stuffed ourselves for the past two months with turkeys, mashed potatoes, gravy, and stuffing, cookies, cakes, and every other imaginable sweet treat there is, and here we are, New Year's Eve, the night we all make resolutions to lose weight, exercise more and reduce our debt, so why now ring in the New Year with one last hoorah meal!!!! This is the ONE time of the year that I like to go all fancy Chef on my family and spoil the with a wonderful meal. What's on the menu? The Pioneer Women's Prime Rib with Rosemary Crust, Roasted Brussel Sprouts, Yorkshire Pudding, and Crab Cocktails, and for dessert Crème Brulee. YUM!
PW's Prime Rib with Rosemary Crust
1 whole boneless rib eye (12 to 15 pounds)
Olive oil
1/4 cup tri-color peppercorns
5 sprigs fresh thyme
3 sprigs fresh rosemary
1/2 cup kosher salt
1/2 cup minced garlic
Preheat the oven to 500 degrees F. Cut the rib eye in half (roast halves separately for more controlled/even cooking).
Heat some oil in a large skillet over high heat. Sear both rib eye halves until a nice dark golden color, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Place the peppercorns into a bag and crush with a rolling pin. Shred the leaves from the thyme and rosemary sprigs. Mix the salt with the crushed peppercorns, rosemary leaves, thyme leaves and garlic. Pour olive oil over the rib eye and pour on the rub mix. Pat slightly to get it to stick to the meat. Roast for 20 minutes, then reduce the heat to 275 degrees F and roast until a meat thermometer registers 125 for rare/medium-rare, about 20 more minutes (the roast will continue to cook slightly after removing from the oven). Remove from the oven and let rest for 15 to 20 minutes before slicing.
Roasted Brussel Sprouts
Toss 1lb of halved brussel sprouts with 2T olive oil and 1tsp salt and 1/2tsp black pepper. Place on a cookie sheet and roast in 375F oven for 20 minutes or until tender on the inside and slightly crisp on the outside.
Yorkshire Pudding
Courtesy of Alex Guarnashelli
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
3 eggs, preferably at room temperature
3/4 cup warm water
3/4 cup warm milk
1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted, plus a little extra for greasing the baking dish
Special equipment: 1 (9-inch) round baking dish
Yorkshire pudding: Raise the temperature of the oven to 400 degrees F and place the baking dish for the Yorkshire pudding inside.
Whisk all of the warm milk and some of the melted butter into the batter. When the baking dish is hot, carefully remove it from the oven and quickly add the remaining melted butter to the dish. Pour the batter over the butter and place the dish in the center of the oven. Bake in the oven until golden brown and puffy, 30 minutes. Cut into 8 wedges and serve immediately with a slice of prime rib and some of the pan drippings
Crème Brulee
Courtesy of Alton Brown
1 quart heavy cream
1 vanilla bean, split and scraped
1 cup vanilla sugar, divided
6 large egg yolks
2 quarts hot water
Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.
Place the cream, vanilla bean and its pulp into a medium saucepan set over medium-high heat and bring to a boil. Remove from the heat, cover and allow to sit for 15 minutes. Remove the vanilla bean and reserve for another use. In a medium bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup sugar and the egg yolks until well blended and it just starts to lighten in color. Add the cream a little at a time, stirring continually. Pour the liquid into 6 (7 to 8-ounce) ramekins. Place the ramekins into a large cake pan or roasting pan. Pour enough hot water into the pan to come halfway up the sides of the ramekins. Bake just until the creme brulee is set, but still trembling in the center, approximately 40 to 45 minutes. Remove the ramekins from the roasting pan and refrigerate for at least 2 hours and up to 3 days. Remove the creme brulee from the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes prior to browning the sugar on top. Divide the remaining 1/2 cup vanilla sugar equally among the 6 dishes and spread evenly on top. Using a torch, melt the sugar and form a crispy top. Allow the creme brulee to sit for at least 5 minutes before serving.

National Service Blog
Posted on Nov 7, 2014
I have several projects in response to the President's call to service. First of all I have, for 13 years, served on Veterans of Foreign Wars Honor Guard teams where I conduct funeral services for our heroes. I do the reading to honor the passing veterans. I have done hundreds and hundreds of funerals, if not thousands at a National Cemetery and private cemeteries in two states.
It consists of finding the appropriate words to pay tribute to someone who has offered his or her life for our great country. It is the greatest honor bestowed upon me. Perhaps there are no adequate words but I try as best as possible.
I am a disabled Vietnam veteran, a retired military veteran with 26 years active service, I am totally disabled from my employment, and I am father of an active duty Green Beret who has served multiple tours in Operation Iraqi Freedom.
I wanted to somehow give back and support our veterans and their families for their service within the limits of my disabilities. I am particularly burdened with the loss of about 75% of my long term memory and virtually have no short term memory that resulted from a problem during heart surgery years ago.
I understand that after military retirement I was a fairly talented computer programmer and webmaster in the civilian market before that occurrence and I have retained some minimal skills, though most have been long forgotten. I attempt to use what skills remaining to help our veterans as best as possible but I must admit it is a difficult chore.
My other work for my fellow veterans involves putting together a bi-monthly, 32 page newsletter to provide our veterans...

Community leader and labor activist Cesar Chavez once said that, "If you really want to make a friend, go to someone's house and eat with him ... The people who give you their food give you their heart."As he led the charge on behalf of farmworkers, in a simplified way, the food grown and harvested in our nation's fields and farms was at the root of his work.

During AmeriCorps Week, many officials will step forward to recognize the contributions our members are making in their communities and states from coast to coast. We've collected a few highlights from the leaders of our statehouses across the nation.

For many AmeriCorps members, finishing a term of service is not an ending, but the beginning of a life dedicated to public service and improving the lives of others.More than 800,000 people – a number close to the population of San Francisco – have served in AmeriCorps since its inception in 1994. You don't have to look far to find achievements that highlight how AmeriCorps alumni have leveraged national service experience to become leaders in fields such as education, science, community development, and the private sector.

Baby Grand Piano:
This 1940 Mason & Hamlin baby grand piano (including bench, felted piano cover, and piano dolly), may have some superficial, cosmetic issues, but its heart is strong, tuneful, and surprising. Serial # 49328. As piano enthusiasts know, Mason & Hamlins are rare pianos. The company makes no more than 350 per year with it patented internal workings. You would be hard-pressed to find one available online for less than the $20k range. We know from Condon Hall, the original home of this piano, that a $6,000.00 refinishing was performed in 1993. Says a longtime Condon Hall staffer, "Many pianists have used this instrument, who were at first put off because of it's cosmetic condition, that is, until they played it. They couldn't believe the quality of its sound."

Optional: You can enter notes about this product below. If you do not wish to add notes, click the 'Add' button.
This water-based eye gel contains little that's helpful for your skin, but it does supply a large amount of alcohol! Alcohol, especially in this amount, causes dryness, irritation, and free-radical damage that hurts your skin's ability to heal and limits its ability to produce healthy collagen, so don't count on reducing puffiness or eliminating dark circles.
One more comment: We know it's hard to believe, but most eye creams aren't necessary. That's either because they are poorly formulated, contain nothing special for the eye area, or come in packaging that won't keep key ingredients stable. Just because the product is labeled as an eye cream doesn't mean it's good for your eye area; in fact, many can actually make matters worse.
There is much you can do to improve signs of aging around your eyes. Any product loaded with antioxidants, skin-repairing ingredients, skin-lightening ingredients, anti-inflammatory ingredients, and effective emollients will work wonders and those ingredients don't have to come from a product labeled as an eye cream. You would be shocked how many eye creams lack even the most basic ingredients to help skin. For example, most eye creams don't contain sunscreen. During the day that is a serious problem because it leaves the skin around your eyes vulnerable to sun damage and this absolutely will make dark circles, puffiness, and wrinkles worse! Whatever product you put around your eye area, regardless of what it is labeled, must be well formulated and appropriate for the skin type around your eyes! That may mean you need an eye cream, but you may also do just as well applying your regular facial moisturizer around your eyes.
Our ultimate solution for eye-area fatigue after a long flight or a long night, our formula is made with cooling Cucumber and Alfalfa Extracts to energize and hydrate the thinner skin of the eye area. Its potent blend of Vitamin E and Caffeine fights fatigue as it helps combat dark circles and puffiness.
Water, Dimethicone, Alcohol Denat., Glycerin, Silica, Acrylamide/Sodium Acryloyldimethyltaurate Copolymer, Butylene Glycol, Apricot Kernel Oil, PEG-6 Isostearate, Dimethicone/Vinyl Dimethicone Crosspolymer, Isohexadecane, Methylparaben, Acrylates/C10-30 Alkyl Acrylate Crosspolymer, Polysorbate 80, Soybean Oil, Tocopherol, Caffeine, Triethanolamine, Disodium EDTA, Dimethiconol, Adenosine, Alfalfa Extract, Magnesium Sulfate, Propylene Glycol, Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate, Hesperetin Laurate, Hydrolyzed Algin, Manganese Sulfate, Cucumber Fruit Extract, Benzyl Alcohol
This line has been around for quite some time, and has its origins in a family-owned pharmacy based in New York City. Perhaps its neighborly beginnings with a big-city heritage are what propelled Kiehl's to its long-standing status as a popular product line. Considering that Kiehl's doesn't advertise (at least not in the traditional sense, though their products get frequent press), their brand identity and status in the minds of consumers are impressive.
What gets lost in all the fashion magazine hype and company claims of "excellence" and "quality ingredients" is that almost all of the Kiehl's products hardly warrant excitement or even mild enthusiasm. Most of them are surprisingly ordinary, with a dusting of natural ingredients almost always at the very end of the ingredient list, well after the preservatives. That amounts to little more than a token attempt to make the products appear more natural to those who want to believe a plant or vitamin must somehow be better for the skin than something that sounds more chemical. Nevertheless, that token amount is enough to allow Kiehl's to brag about how its products nourish the skin or are more environmentally friendly, when they're not.
Aside from the allure of the natural, this line consists of totally ordinary and often completely unnatural ingredients. More disheartening for skin is that many of the ingredients are of questionable benefit for those with sensitive, oily, or blemish-prone skin. In some instances product ingredients are irritating for any skin type, while half of the sunscreen products are a serious problem for reliable sun protection. If you can't resist the allure of Kiehl's, just know that the product assembly will work best for those with dry to very dry skin and that, for the money, most of the formulas aren't knock-your-socks-off thrilling.
Note: Kiehl's is categorized as a brand that tests on animals because its products are sold in China. Although Kiehl's does not conduct animal testing for its products sold elsewhere, the Chinese government requires imported cosmetics be tested on animals, so foreign companies retailing there must comply. This requirement is why some brands state that they don't test on animals "unless required by law." Animal rights organizations consider cosmetic companies retailed in China to be brands that test on animals, and so does the Paula's Choice Research Team.

This product did nothing to my eye area. Won't buy it again.

Visitors are invited to sit back and relax at the restaurant and take a closer look at the carefully arranged decoration from the pioneering days of farming. For exploring, the Gondwana Canyon Park is accessible by horse, four-wheel drive or simply with walking sticks.

The Canyon Village, Namibia
The Canyon Village is set on the C 37, approximately 20 km from the Canyon's main lookout point in Namibia. Situated just 20 km from the famous Fish River Canyon, Canyon Village hugs the foot of a sweeping rock face in Gondwana Canyon Park. With its Cape-Dutch cottages and thatched restaurant this little village is the ideal starting point for exploring the canyon. The daily life of the regions's early inhabitants, the Bondelswart-Nama, can be seen on murals in the restaurant and chalets. Guests can participate in excursions on horseback, drives and walks in the Gondwana Cañon Park or simply enjoy a break at the swimming pool.

Gondwana Canyon Park in Namibia
The Nama Karoo is characterized by its yellow flowers of quiver trees which are set against the blue sky at the second largest canyon in the world. The quiver tree is a typical stem succulent of the Nama Karoo, and on the vast plains of Gondwana Canyon Park several clusters can be found. With an area of 1,120 km² and the first tract of land acquired in 1995, this park is the largest and oldest nature reserve of the Gondwana Desert Collection. Vistors to this area of Namibia can watch springbok, gemsbok, hartebeest, ostrich and mountain zebras.

Sundowner Walk:
Everyone is invited to wrap up the day with a short excursion to our very own 'local' mountain where we have a drink and watch the sun go down.
Fish River Canyon:
Its dimensions are enormous: 160 km long, up to 27 km wide and 500 m deep. The Fish River Canyon is seen as the largest canyon in Africa and second largest canyon on earth - after the Grand Canyon in the US. Just as impressive is the period of time during which it was formed: 350 million years ago a fault with a width of 20 km appeared and the river meandered through it in wide loops. When the ancient continent of Gondwana disintegrated 120 million years ago, the Fish River started to dig deep into the ground and create its system of gorges.

What are you packing?
Almost, but not quite suitcase ready:rotfl2:
http://i48.tinypic.com/160zc7p.jpg |
We are going in August for 7 days. Planning on packing as little as possible. There is a laundry facility at AoA, so we will wash part way through and mix'n match outfits. On SW we can bring 2 suitcases each, however we each only own one, so that's part of the reasoning. I want to bring snacks and have room to bring home a little Disney magic.
Oh and about a gallon of sun screen #100 LOL. |

In this week's readers' Q&A session, Amrita Sen, oil analyst at Barclays Capital, answers your questions.
In the first of two posts, she discusses whether speculation is driving up the oil price, whether such an increase could trigger another recession and when "peak oil" might occur.
Later, she will discuss drilling in the US, national oil subsidies and growing demand from the Middle East.
(NB – Because of a very high volume of questions, we were not able to tackle every question submitted. Apologies if yours was not answered.)
Next week, Michael Bromwich, director of the US oceans regulator, will be answering your offshore-drilling queries. Email questions to email@example.com by the end of Sunday, April 10th.
But for now, over to Amrita:
Oil speculation
Are current high oil prices due to market fundamentals (high demand from China/India and stagnating production…) or is speculation the cause?
Lionel Badal
Very clearly, the former. More than anything, the growth in oil demand has been the single most dominant factor over the past 18 months.
Global oil demand is now 4.5m barrels/day higher since the bottom of the economic cycle. The scale of the 2010 demand shock was highly significant, witnessing the strongest growth in 30 years. It has surpassed the previous peak in 2007 by 1.4m b/d, a year after the worst recession in living memory, when consensus expectations expected that zenith to be reached at the earliest in 2013 – such has been the dominance of emerging market nations at the margin of the oil market.
These countries have a far higher threshold for higher prices (ie low price elasticity) and are geared towards rising income (ie high income elasticity) with the quest for urbanisation and industrialisation dominating. Moreover, as a whole, oil has moved to sectors that are significantly less price sensitive (for example transport), primarily due to the lack of substitutes.
That said, the strength in demand has been broad-based, with OECD oil demand also showing its first year of growth in five years. Since the start of last year, consensus estimates of the annual demand growth have been revised higher to the tune of almost 1.5m b/d on average across the IEA, EIA, Opec and Barclays Capital balances.
In a world where demand has resulted in the steady erosion of spare capacity, the loss of Libyan output and general unrest in the Middle East has added further volatility and anxiety in the market, putting further upward pressure on prices.
The loss of Libyan output and general unrest in the Middle East has added further volatility and anxiety in the market
A level of sustainable spare capacity below 4 per cent (which it is currently) does not constitute an entirely comfortable level for the physical market to operate under. In our view, a large proportion of Libyan exports can be reckoned to be out of the market for an extended period, and unless demand growth starts to show a fairly severe and rapid tailing away, we would expect the cushion of spare capacity to erode further.
Saudi capacity
Saudi spare capacity is usually quoted in the 3m b/d range. Do you think this is an accurate sum or has it been inflated to assuage Opec and world oil market watchers?
Benjamin Dow
It would be fair to say that the current Saudi spare capacity is in the range of 3m b/d. We currently peg it at around 2.6m b/d. Of course, increasingly, with the global oil markets becoming reliant upon Saudi Arabia for supply-side balancing, questions about the sustainability of production and its ability to invest in new capacity have been raised regularly.
Sceptics have argued that Saudi Arabia has very high rates of decline in existing fields, particularly given its historical reliance on the enormous and unparalleled Ghawar field. But thus far, Saudi Arabia has been able to continue to provide the main shock absorber with the global oil system.
Over the years, Saudi Aramco has successfully replaced annual depletion in production with new reserves, and the kingdom has strived to keep 2m b/d as the optimal buffer in spare capacity for the oil market. A raft of new projects have been brought on stream between 2008-2010 to ensure enough flexibility in the Saudi production system to manage any undesired price rise, and the level of market confidence surrounding the actual existence of that flexibility is higher.
But the question of Saudi Arabia's position with reference to the maintenance of its output profile has come into the limelight in recent weeks as the result of two related events.
Firstly, there have been reports that Saudi Arabia has detailed to oil services companies a plan to boost the rig count within the Kingdom by 28 per cent over the next two years. Secondly, there have also been reports that a decision has been made to speed up the start date of the 0.9m b/d Manifa oil field.
We view these reports as being indicative of the initiation by Saudi Arabia of actions to speed up the availability of current production and maintain current capacity, in order to ensure the continuation of flexibility in production volumes.
Oil price outlook
What is the impact on the global oil price in the next couple of years, given the conflict in Libya and the stretched Opec supplies?
Abhijit Sen, Abu Dhabi Oil Refining Company
Even before the upsurge in geopolitical risks, we had expected global oil spare capacity to decline steadily out to 2015, putting upward pressure on prices.
The large inventory overhang that kept a comfortable cushion at the margin of the market has disappeared, too, with OECD inventories now below the five-year average. Not surprisingly. against this fundamental backdrop, the current plethora of geopolitical events is adding a further layer of instability and volatility to the oil market.
Stretched Opec spare capacity is key. Once that buffer starts eroding, the ability of the oil market to absorb supply shocks can reduce sharply, with the opposite effect on price volatility and market sentiment. As soon as perceptions of global spare capacity become the key driver of price levels and volatility, the fear of unlikely but extreme outcomes among Gulf producers takes on a role that can transcend the oil market and spread into other assets.
In short, we should expect a longer-term increase in prices unless a new technology comes along to change the way we use energy.
Demand collapse
Will high oil prices break the back of demand? Can the market only rationalise through demand as IOCs suggest? If so, which plays do you see as the most risky?
Lorne Stockman, research director, Oil Change International
With oil prices pushing back beyond the $100 per barrel level in a volatile environment, the once dominant view that oil price spikes will swiftly derail the economic recovery is on the march again, with the key conundrum in the market underlined by whether this is a repeat of 2008.
In my view, the relationship between oil and the global economy has changed significantly. This is because oil demand has moved towards less price-sensitive sectors (transport) and less price-sensitive regions (the non-OECD). Transportation is now the single largest user of oil (accounting for 50 per cent of global oil demand) and the largest source of incremental demand (accounting for more than 90 per cent of consumption growth over the next 20 years). In my view, part of OECD oil demand has been in effect exported to non-OECD countries, together with the economic activities that shifted towards emerging markets.
Even at current price levels of $120/bbl, there does not appear to have been any significant permanent change in consumers' consumption patterns, at least not yet. Of course that is not to say higher oil prices have no impact on demand whatsoever. Higher price averages can start reducing demand growth at the margin, while price spikes can instrument a harsh monetary policy reaction that can, in turn, have a long-lasting effect on economic activity.
Even at current price levels of $120/bbl, there does not appear to have been any significant permanent change in consumers' consumption patterns
Clearly, a $4 gasoline price in the US has a psychological effect, but it would be fair to say that the feedback from price to slowdown has been largely absent in the last decade, with the roots of the 2008 recession ultimately lying elsewhere than in oil prices alone.
Indeed it appears that households and firms are much more prepared to smooth their expenditures (letting savings take the strain). Moreover, as emerging market economies play catch up to the OECD, and as their GDP continues to turn more commodity intensive, oil demand is seeing little respite.
At a higher price level, supply may very well respond through greater incentives for drilling and exploration and by making high cost projects more viable, but the time lags are likely to be significantly higher and the size of the response may vary significantly.
What stance should the world community take towards Libya in your opinion: refuse to work with the rebels or help them fulfil previously-agreed oil contracts?
Natalia Konoshenko, Industry Portals
While some Western governments have recognised the Benghazi council as the legitimate Libyan government, there are various issues that remain unresolved in terms of potential oil contracts.
While financing rebels through oil purchases poses serious legal and ethical challenges, these statements simply highlight the issue about the structure and legality of the post-Gaddafi regime, should there be one.
Eastern activists have long maintained that the region has been deliberately impoverished by the Gaddafi government and that it has received few economic benefits from petroleum production. These grievances could complicate efforts to build a post-Gaddafi national unity government as regional leaders may demand a major redistribution of the energy revenues, as well as a weaker central government, as the price for their participation.
There also may also be some adjustment of the contract terms. Clearly, there will be a demand for the light sweet crude from Libya but the terms and conditions to get that crude may differ significantly if the rebels were to come to own the entire oil industry of the country.

Iran's regular army has begun a two-day ground and air military exercise aimed at upgrading its combat readiness against possible attacks.
State television showed troops parachuting from helicopters close to the Iraqi border, near the towns of Sarpol-e Zahab and Qasr-e Shirin.
The war games are taking place amid escalating tensions between Iran and the West over Iran's disputed nuclear program.
Iranian naval commanders also met Tuesday with leaders in Sudan to discuss joint training exercises in the wake of explosions at one of their weapons factory. Sudan has blamed Israel for an aircraft that bombed the structure last Wednesday.
In the meantime, Israel has hinted it may take military action if talks fail to thwart Iran and stop its uranium enrichment program.
The United States and its allies accuse Iran of seeking nuclear weapons, a charge Tehran denies.

Can legal separation help your marriage? Or in fact, can legal separation help save your marriage? These are excellent questions and while there are no guarantees about whether a legal separation can actually prevent divorce, the fact remains they do give couples some breathing space to really assess if they are meant to continue together as a married couple.
So how do you get a legal separation? Well, you'll need to talk to an attorney about this but before you do, talk to your spouse first. Unless you both agree to take the step of a legally separating then there's no point in spending money in getting legal advice.
We spoke about the advantages of a legal separation and according to a report at newsolio.com there are many. Here's a few in a nutshell:
- It gives a couple a time out from their marriage and some breathing space. It gives two people the chance to step away from the issues they are so close to and an opportunity to look at them from a distance.
- It allows two people to reflect on their problems without the obvious conflict making thinking a lot easier and clearer.
- Being apart may make counseling sessions seem more attractive and decision-making in this area won't be made on high emotion
- A legal separation will allow the courts to make distinctions between the couple's belongings including the children if they are also involved
If serious marital problems have brought you to the brink of divorce, a legal separation may help save your marriage.
With the current divorce rate at more than fifty percent, traditional marriage appears to be in danger of extinction. If you are experiencing serious marital problems and are thinking about divorce, consult your attorney about a legal separation first.
A separation does the work of a divorce, without the final dissolution of the marriage bond. Rather than give up altogether on your union, a separation offers certain advantages that can breed hope and second chances.
1. Getting a formal legal separation is a little bit like taking an informal timeout from marriage problems. When insults and hurts fly thick and furiously, it may be time to step back and disengage for a while, allowing both partners and issues to cool down. Some couples opt to remain in the same household, especially if there are children, to maintain the family structure, at least temporarily. In other situations, one of the partners may choose to move out and stay with a family member, a friend, or even get his or her own living quarters on what hopefully may be a temporary arrangement. Physically defusing the household in this way can lead to a calming effect for everyone while major points are negotiated…..
The number of couples who end up together again after divorce might be higher than you think and the subject of another report but for now, know that the legal separation route is open to you and you should consider it if there seems to be hope that you can save your marriage.
Time out can often do wonders for two people and the biggest advantage we see is that with emotion not being a factor, someone can look at things more objectively and sensibly rather than making a decision on the spur of high emotion.
Making a rash decision when emotions are running high such as during an argument is dangerous and many people regret their decisions. Will this be you? Or in fact, has this been you? If you are divorced do you wish you had of had the chance to go through legal separation first?

Support for work-based learning: a package for work-based mentors of Foundation degree students in the Health and Social Care sector
Bucks New University
Completed October 2009
This project had two aims, both related to supporting those in the workplace acting as mentors to Foundation degree students:
1 To develop a generic educational audit tool that can be used to assess the appropriateness of the work-based learning environment to achieving the learning outcomes of the Foundation degree
A series of focus groups were held with Foundation degree course leaders to explore whether an educational audit tool would be useful and, if so, what form it should take. There was agreement that the student experience would be enhanced by the establishment of an audit tool establishing the suitability of their workplace to support the student's learning and meet the requirements of the course. It would also play an important role in ensuring equity and parity across all courses and enhance the quality management processes of the Foundation degrees. Due to differences between the settings of the various Foundation degrees, it was agreed that some required a more structured educational audit than others. Given this, it was agreed that the audit should be made available electronically to allow the course team to devise a flexible tool that met the needs of their course.
2 To develop and validate an educational programme for identified mentors of students undertaking Foundation degrees in the Health and Social Care sectors
During the project, two educational programmes were developed and delivered for mentors of Foundation degree-level students and feedback gathered from the students and lecturers. The first was a certificated course, 'Introduction to Enabling Learning', delivered at Level 6 attracting 15 CATS points, and the second was a non-certificated, attendance-only four-day course.
An electronic audit tool was developed and, following approval by the course teams, was prepared for trial during 2009/10.
The certificated course 'Introduction to Enabling Learning' was developed as an interdisciplinary module. Three mentors attended the course, of which one successfully completed. The students experienced some issues with workload and time constraints which led to difficulties with attendance and meeting assessment deadlines; in addition, the students found the academic level challenging and felt they needed considerable support to reach the academic standard required. Feedback from the lecturers also highlighted this issue, and noted that students were diverse in educational and work background and starting at different points on the lifelong learning continuum. However, all students commented on the value of the interdisciplinary forum and learning from each other, and the lecturers found it stimulating and challenging to facilitate such a mixed group of professionals. In terms of level and progression the students were concerned about their professional development and how they could build on the course academically and gain recognition in the workplace. There appears to be a need to identify a recognised career pathway for work-based learning mentors to develop their mentoring/coaching skills.
The non-certificated attendance-only course was offered to work-based learning mentors across the faculty and five took up the offer. All the students commented positively on the interactive work and the value of sharing experience and challenging practice. All commented that at the end of the course they were interested in doing an assessed course and further formal study, having enjoyed the experience of higher education. The students were keen to have the University Certificate of Attendance to add to their Professional Development Portfolio and felt that it would be useful to them and their employer in the workplace.

Mae Sariang: Why go there?
In our opinion Mae Sariang, a small town and capital of the district of the same name in southern Mae Hong Son province, doesn't get the number of visitors it deserves. Here's why you should go.
First up, it just looks lovely. It's a very picturesque little town on the banks of the Yuam River, with some old wooden buildings, a couple of pretty temples and a scenic mountainous backdrop.
Secondly, the area is dotted with plenty of places to visit. A couple of nice old Shan-style temples are in town, while a stroll around the market and riverfront area is fun. The surrounding countryside too holds plenty of visit-worthy sites. Hire a bike and cruise down to the fascinating riverside border market at Mae Saem Laep or check out the trekking and hill-tribe village options that the town's tour operators have on offer.
You may not expect good accommodation and eating options, but a surprisingly wide choice of accommodation for such a small town awaits — and since it's not crowded, some good deals are to be had. (None of this tripling of prices for high season like you see in Pai.) Many of the accommodation and eating places are on the riverbank, which is a plus. For budget accommodation, we recommend North West Guesthouse, or if you want to splash out try River House Hotel. You can also find some of our restaurant and bar suggestions here.
If you're coming from the Chiang Mai direction, ride, or drive, or cycle along the Hot road. You'll pass through lots of mountain vistas and pine forests, and it's really almost worth going to Mae Sariang just for the scenery en route. From Mae Sariang plenty of buses head up via another scenic route to Mae Hong Song, or if you have time you could return to Chiang Mai via Khun Yuam and Mae Chaem, via an equally picturesque road leading round the back of Doi Inthanon. (Transport details for Mae Sariang can be found on this page.)
But best of all: not many other people go there. Even in the high season you'll certainly avoid the crowds and get to see an attractive and off-the-beaten-track part of northern Thailand — a good reason in its own right.
