A definite frustration with most of the Liz Earle Naturally Active Skin Care product line is that most of the moisturizers start out with such promise and then quickly go south. Such is the case with this one. Although it does contain an impressive array of plant oils it also contains some problematic plant oils, including neroli and lavender oil along with synthetic fragrance components. How disappointing. See More Info for details on why frequent use of highly fragranced products is a problem.
The packaging is also not the best. Though this doesn't come in a jar it does come in a clear glass container which allows sunlight in and that causes the plant oils to start going rancid. It's one of the reasons the extra virgin olive oil you buy in a grocery store either comes packaged in a dark tinted glass bottle or a metal tin. Between the packaging and the fragrance the only thing super about this mix of oils is the claims, not the formula.
Daily use of products that contain a high amount of fragrance, whether the fragrant ingredients are synthetic or natural, causes chronic irritation that can damage healthy collagen production, lead to or worsen dryness, and impair your skin's ability to heal. Fragrance-free is the best way to go for all skin types. If fragrance in your skin-care products is important to you, it should be a very low amount to minimize the risk to your skin (Sources: Inflammation Research, December 2008, pages 558–563; Skin Pharmacology and Physiology, June 2008, pages 124–135, and November-December 2000, pages 358–371; Journal of Investigative Dermatology, April 2008, pages 15–19; Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology, March 2008, pages 78–82; Mechanisms of Ageing and Development, January 2007, pages 92–105; and British Journal of Dermatology, December 2005, pages S13–S22).
The intense, aromatic blend of 100% pure plant oils in this rich, rebalancing night-time treat is suitable for all skin types. It helps to soften dry or mature skin and balance combination or oily skin. Use at night after cleansing and toning (but before moisturising). Naturally active ingredients include softening argan and organic rosehip oils, soothing neroli, lavender and chamomile essential oils plus antioxidant natural source vitamin E.
Corylus Avellana (Hazelnut) Oil, Rosa Rubiginosa (Rosehip) Seed Oil, Argania Spinosa (Argan) Kernel Oil, Persea Gratissima (Avocado) Oil, Citrus Aurantium Amara (Neroli) Flower Oil, Tocopherol (Vitamin E), Lavandula Angustifolia (Lavender) Oil, Anthemis Nobilis (Chamomile) Flower Oil, Citral, Geraniol, Citronellol, Farnesol, Limonene, Linalool.
Liz Earle began her United Kingdom-based cosmetics company in 1995 with her name affixed to the label, Liz Earle Naturally Active Skin Care. Originally located on the Isle of Wright, the company their products were inspired by the natural foliage of this part of the world's rainy, cold environs.
A prolific writer of more than 30 beauty books along with a background as a beauty journalist and broadcaster, Earle became a diehard believer in all things natural. One of her books even suggests you can beat cellulite with scrubs, creams, and massage oils. We wouldn't bet on it any more than the allure of all natural holds the answer to having beautiful skin, but even Earle's products don't follow that philosophy wholeheartedly as they are not all natural in the least. In fact, you could say they are about as natural as polyester. Labeling the line "naturally active" is a clever play on words; it makes you think the products are natural without really saying they are.
After 15 years of being one of the biggest independent UK-based personal care companies Liz Earle was bought by Avon in 2010. That has certainly changed the face of the company! It's interesting to point out that despite Avon's home consultant business model, Liz Earle stopped the home consulting side of their business shortly after joining the fold at Avon.
Business decisions aside, the products are what matter and what's inside those products matters most. We were first struck by the line's lack of sunscreens. The company's convoluted explanation for this is how the weather in the UK doesn't warrant it (though we're not sure how that factors into the brand's U.S. distribution) and also because synthetic sunscreens are bad for skin. None of that is true. Daylight (as in UV light, which is present whether the sun is shining or not) in any amount causes immediate and long-term skin damage. Only a few minutes of unprotected sun exposure a day causes premature aging, though you won't see these effects until years later. Numerous studies have shown how regular use of sunscreen with all types of active ingredients, including synthetic and mineral, makes skin look significantly younger, longer—and reduces risk of skin cancer.
The company does say mineral sunscreen ingredients are good yet that only shows up in their Daily Eye Repair with an SPF 10 (SPF 15 is considered the minimum by medical and regulatory boards around the world) and it appears this product is only be sold in the U.K. There is no explanation why there aren't other mineral-based sunscreens in the line.
Although we find the lack of sunscreens a sign of bad (or at least shortsighted) skin care, we are also highly skeptical of skin-care companies that sell bust and neck treatments. Earle's Superskin Bust & Neck Treatment claims the natural ingredients it contains can plump skin around the bust. Again don't count on it, but we admit the application description will arouse something! Ironically, the description for the product explains how sun exposure ages skin, but then we're going back to the lack of sun protection in the line. Now that's contradictory! Regardless skin on the neck, chest, and face benefit from the same state-of-the-art ingredients and there is not a shred of unbiased research to the contrary.
Despite the reservations mentioned above, there are some interesting formulations in Earle's line with great price points. But even the better formulas suffer from too much fragrance, dubious and overblown claims, and prevalent use of irritating plant extracts. Oddly enough, the fragrance-free formulations in this product line have some of the more ordinary formulations when it comes to antioxidants or soothing emollients—two categories of ingredients those with sensitive skin really need.
In short, Liz Earle Naturally Active Skin Care is nothing to get all that excited about, whether you're a fan of natural ingredients or simply want skin care from the U.K.

We had a lovely cosy time in the cabin. Really warm and everything we needed was here. The walks from the cabin are brilliant (Ron Dog loved it). We can't wait to come and see the beautiful scenery in the summer. Thanks for making our stay so lovely and special. – December 2011
Dear Linda and John. Very much enjoyed our stay in your lovely log cabin. Everything was as good as we expected–if not better, and would highly recommend your log cabin to anyone. The food at the Queen's Head is absolutely beautiful - it is a little expensive but well worth the money. We were grateful for all the information in the cabin on the Lake District, and did some wonderful walks. Once again we hope to return one day to this fabulous area and wonderful log cabin. - November 2011
This was our first holiday together at the Lake District and we have loved it! What a beautiful little cabin Otter Lodge is!! Very homely and very warm and cosy. After reading the previous few comments we were a little disappointed that we did not see any otters playing in the river. Although to make up for this we did see a deer on the hills behind the Haybarn Inn on one of the walk routes that were in the cabin. We enjoyed following the routes that were in the cabin but weren't quite adventurous enough to try the Thresthwaite Mouth circular. All in all we have had a brilliant time and will definitely be back again! - October 2011
This was our first holiday to the Lakes. We were very impressed with the cabin. Everything we wanted was there, very homely. We had a great time playing in the river, the dogs loved it. Weather could not have been better. We did really well. Great meal in the Mortal Man. We also had a great day out in Windermere. The boat trip was really good, but the time here went far too quick. We have already said we plan to return next year. A big thank you to Linda and John, the cabin is a credit to you. Thanks for a great weekend. - October 2011
Comments from some young guests :-) Day 1 - just got here it is very nice. Excellent cabin facilities. Very clean, comfy beds, very impressed, good first impression. Day 1 - I am also here with her. We have had a brilliant comforting welcome to the site, First time on holiday without school to the Lakes, very very good facilities. We have brought two dogs and they are enjoying it already to say we have only been here for one hour. Very warm welcome. Day 2 - we have been to the pony trekking but no one was there so we went in the lake. Someone made a rope swing and we went on that in the deep it but it was very fun. I have attempted the 500 piece jigsaw but had failed. Very good meals. Day 3 - we went to the mortal man. I recommended to. But I must say the PS2 wasn't working. I am very pleased with my stay here thank you John and Linda - - October 2011 [ so sorry that the PS2 was malfunctioning. We have now replaced it but we are really sorry it wasn't working for you!]
This was our first holiday in the Lake District and our first holiday with our ten-month puppy. We went to the Grasmere/Rydal walk on Tuesday which was a great way to start our trip in the Lakes. It's a steady walk with various stunning views. On Wednesday we then drove up to Elterwater and walked towards Colwith Force which is the most breathtaking waterfall we have seen. This is where I proposed to Laura and she said yes! (I found it very strange reading the other couple's story on another page same age puppy and thousands of cocker spaniel, and then of course the proposal) the Lake District has a special charm that we have not experienced anywhere else. To top it off we got to spend a week in this beautiful cabin. We will treasure this week for ever! First thing we will be doing when we get back home is booking again for next year! Thanks John and Linda - October 2011
Superb lodge wonderful setting! Just what we needed for our first break in over a year! Been to the lakes before but this accommodation tops our list of places to stay! Full marks to the owners John and Linda! We will definitely be back! Coming from one of the most beautiful parts of Scotland (Inverness – Loch Ness monster country) this part of the Lakes is just like home! Thank you so much - September 2011
I'm writing this on the balcony, drinking a can of tea, listening to the beck while the sun is slowly sinking over the hills. On our first day we walked the Wansfell Pike circular which Talk as on a fantastic walk seen some magical sights. We spent the next day at Bowness on Windermere where we had a lovely daya and our cocker spaniel sampled ice cream for the 1st time. We walked to Windermere and then ended up walking back to the Mortal Man for a few pints enjoying the sunshine. The lodge has been fantastic with everything we needed and more. I proposed to my girlfriend on the balcony to which she said yes, so we leave the Lodge engaged. As I write this our cocker spaniel is fast asleep, probably dreaming of all the walks she has had. Thank you John and Linda for one of the best holidays ever; Weather: perfect. Lodge: perfect. Overall: absolutely perfect. Thank you we hope to come back next year. Going to the Haybarn later for a farewell pint (or 2). The only downside of the holiday is leaving. - September 2011
What a fantastic lodge! And a lovely setting! :-) I've had a lovely time here, it's just like a home away from home. Very well-kept and cosy. I will be back sure. - September 2011
How fantastic to wake up to the views we had. What a beautiful situation this cabin is in. (Would have been more beautiful still had it not rained all week though, ha ha). The cabin is cosy, clean and everything is provided for. Thank you so much for providing information on walks.We ventured up to Wansfell Pike twice. (Despite the driving rain). What breathtaking views (Wow!). Our dog Jess reverted back to being a puppy on those days. We have all enjoyed our stay here and will be looking forward to returning next year. - September 2011
We have had a brilliant stay here at Otter Lodge. There are lovely views across the river and we couldn't have asked for more in the lodge. Apart from the rain on Saturday we have really enjoyed our stay here and our dogs have loved it too. We would definitely recommend this place to family and friends. Thanks for everything - September 2011
We came across to lodge by chance on the Internet and what a find it was. We all had a great stay including our 2-year-old Labrador and apart from the rain on the first and second days, our stay here was fantastic. We all did plenty of walking and every single facility was as advertised - perfect! The power cut for 12 hours on our first morning was easily forgotten and the otter we saw in the beck that evening completed our day. Thank you ever so much and we hope to return soon. - August 2011
Dear John and Linda. Can't say enough words to thank you both for your kindness. After losing my husband in further this year, a lovely relaxing break was just what we needed. (My 8-year-old loved it too) We went fishing and love sitting on the decking listening to the river. Ate at the Haybarn and had a few beers, a very nice place and welcoming. Spent a day at Ambleside and had a cruise on the lake. It is very relaxing and the views were breathtaking. Don't want to go home, will take another visit to Limefitt. Thank you so so much. - August 2011
Hello - I am a 6-month-old puppy and this is my first holiday with my family. When we were in the car so long I didn't know where we were going but when we arrived… I LOVED IT! All the walks were amazing and the trips were cool too. After the hot sunny days it was heaven to jump into the river pool. The cabin was really cosy and I loved sitting on the veranda, feeding the ducks and watching the horses. All in all it was an excellent holiday. Hope I come again… Soon! Love Whiskey - Cocker spaniel I agree with everything W has said above but I would like to add a few points. I would recommend the pony trekking. If you have been riding before the one and a half hour ride is great fun. If you have not been riding regularly the 30 min ride will be fine for you, providing you like horses. The children's bedroom was really cosy and comfortable on a night time. Storage in the children's room was great too. All in all, like Whiskey said, I have had a fab holiday. I hope I come again… Soon !!! - August 2010
Found Otter Lodge on the Internet while we trawled for a summer break which was dog friendly, as we now have a new puppy. When we arrived we were pleasantly surprised by how good the lodge looked in the perfect position overlooking the river. Absolutely the best Lakes holiday. Thanks very much for the thought which has gone into making visitors welcome. - August 2011
Had a fantastic honeymoon here at Otter Lodge! We found the lodge to be very clean and equipped with everything needed for our stay. The location of the park is ideal, with Windermere and Ambleside being just a short drive away. We enjoyed good food and atmosphere at both the Mortal Man and the Queen's Head. Our 2 active springer spaniel also enjoyed their stay, especially the dog field and the plunge pool. Thanks for a great week!! - August 2011
Had a fantastic time here, Molly the dog loved her exercise field and the beck is very relaxing to listen to. Good food both at the Haybarn and Mortal Man. Thank you. - August 2011
We have had the most lovely stay in Otter Lodge! Fab setting next to the river, and everything we needed within the lodge. Going home feeling very relaxed and with one very worn out dog! Thank you for a great week away! - August 2011
First visit to Limefitt and the cabin but definitely won't be the last!! Little boy (3 years old) and dogs loved it. The cabin is lovely and has absolutely everything you need. Very relaxing break, wish we were staying longer. Were very impressed with both the cabin and the site. Thank you! - July 2011
Absolutely lovely holiday. We came away to relax and found ourselves doing a different activity every day. We enjoyed Kendal and Bowness for shopping, Barrow for the beach, pebble beach looking out towards the windfarm in the bay. Our son Bradley loved the on-site park as well as the riverpool and the dog field with our 2 spaniels Bonnie and Buster. He also really enjoyed the steam train and aquarium at Lakeland. The lodge had everything we needed and the beck running past was just the icing on the cake. We really don't want to go home. July 2011
Our first holiday in the Lakes and first time away without 10-month-old Great Dane, Marvin. We had a fabulous time! Otter lodge had absolutely everything we needed and we enjoyed sitting in the afternoon sun on the deck with a couple of drinks. Staff at the Haybarn and Mortal Man could not have been nicer and were extremely welcoming to the 10 stone puppy! Hope to be back again! - June 2011
We have had a fantastic week. We booked this as a surprise for my father-in-law's 70th birthday, and it's a birthday we will never forget. It has been fantastic. Amazing views and a lovely lodge that catered for all. We hope to revisit sometime in the future. We had a delicious meal at the Mortal Man. Found the staff to be friendly and the price is reasonable. If you fancy a Chinese there is a lovely one in Windermere called the Oriental Kitchen. Thanks for an amazing holiday. - June 2011
We have had a lovely relaxing weekend and have been very comfortable in Otter Lodge. Idyllic surroundings and beautiful area. Weather much better than expected and managed a few drinks in the sun on the balcony. Thanks for the use of Otter Lodge! June 2011
We have had the most relaxing short break in perfect surroundings. Loved the lodge, made full use of the walking literature, much to the appreciation of our 3 year old black lab! - June 2011
We have had the most relaxing honeymoon, we thought to lodge was just lovely and the setting was perfect. We love the decking that was secure and safe for our dogs and toddler annually. High chair and cot were excellent and clean. We will definitely recommend this laodge and hopefully come back from anniversary thank you - May 2011
Just as we left the Lodge in October 09, nothing has changed, everything you could need, clean and comfortable, just a lovely setting, home from home!! Skye our basset hound also enjoyed her 2nd visit, no doubt he will be back for a 3rd, thank you! May 2011
Dear John and Linda, a fantastic stay, as soon as we walked into our lodge we wished we were here for a week and not just the weekend break! Such a soothing tranquil location to explore the mountains from, and a bonus to come back to after a hard slog of the mountain. If you think you have earned it after a good walk get yourself up to the Queens Head and treat yourself to the home-made pork scratchings and apple sauce. It's a starter but beware there was enough for two! It should be world-famous to my mind. Once again many thanks we will be back for longer next time, we didn't care about the rain as Wainwright once said " that no such thing as bad weather, just inadequate equipment"! May 2011
Our first visit to the lakes with our two dogs Topaz and Jade. OtterLodge is lovely and has everything you could ask for. Unfortunately the weather has been hit and miss, however it has not stopped as going out and about. We particularly enjoyed Bowness. We had a lovely lunch at the Mortal Man where the dogs enjoyed a run in the beer garden. We would highly recommend Otter Lodge to friends and family! Thanks! - May 2011
Our 1st visit to Otter Lodge and we too were blown away by the setting and location of the lodge within the park. Idyllicy and peaceful - the perfect "getaway from it all" holiday. Have thoroughly enjoyed our stay and are already looking forward to returning in the near future. Many thanks. - May 2011
It's my second visit to OtterLodge and it's been just as relaxing as last year. Weather has been gorgeous except for yesterday when the rain came and is still here! It's cosy listening to it though in the Lodge. Been to Keswick, Ambleside, Bowness and then walked to the Mortal Man and Queens Head. It's been a beautiful relaxing week and I will definitely be coming back next year. Thanks John and Linda for a superb break. The lodge is just as cosy and comfortable as I remember. - May 2011
Once again we had a fab time at Otter Lodge! Highly recommend a steak in the Haybarn pub (on-site) :-) We really enjoyed walking round Windermere lake every day in the sun, it's a shame we have to go home. Hope to be back soon thanks. - April 2011
Had a lovely stay. Otter Lodge was a home from home and gorgeous views 1st thing on a morning was beautiful. Will definitely be visiting again. Thank you Limefitt! - April 2011
Another superb break at Otter Lodge – have looked forward to it since our last visit and enjoyed every minute. Lodge clean, comfy, cosy and warm. Ate each day at the Mortal Man - fantastic welcome, menu, food and beer. The walks from here are great and dogs enjoyed the holiday as much as we did. Back home tomorrow, one of our first jobs will be to sort out dates and book again the next year. Many thanks John and Linda. April 2011
A big thank you to my 3 daughters who bought this for us as a special present for a big '0' birthday which was in January. We have been eagerly waiting since then and have not been disappointed. What a beautiful place. "The Otter"is gorgeous. Everything that you could possibly need is here. We brought our little dachshund on his first holiday and he has loved it. We have been lucky with the weather too!! Have a lovely Sunday lunch at the Mortal Man. Have wandered around to Coniston and Bowness but have always looked forward to coming back to Otter Lodge to chill out and relax–looking out over the stream. Thank you so much. - March 2011
First time in Otter Lodge, last year stayed in Kingfisher Lodge, just as good, love the setting! First two days were beautiful weather. Went on some lovely long walks, our dogs loved the rock pool. Shame our last day was rainy, still couldn't keep us in though. Can't wait to return next year - March 2011
Friday - Just arrived. Heavy rain. No problem we're in the Lakes. "Brilliant". Just chill. With great friends, the best, enjoy the landscape. Tomorrow exploring the area, coaxed and past Ullswater. Childhood memories. Sleep tight. zzzzzz. Saturday - Day-to-day life a distant memory. Bubbling beck a treat. On we go! Ullswater, peaceful tranquillity. M and M loved it. Back to Otter. Ambled to the Haybarn, pleasant surprise, rustic exterior but contemporary interior. "Smashin", after a couple of Dublin black stuff, settled in for the evening. Cosy. Dinner done. "Upwords" boardgame. Competitive. M and M sleeping. 96.1 FM groovy listening. Tomorrow beckons. zzzzz. Sunday - Woke up to sunshine. Douche. Breakfast. Walk from Haybarn to Windermere. M and M were really well-behaved. Muddy boots! Great views over the lake. Super Sunday! England win the rugger over the old enemy. Back at Otter, settled in for the evening. Cosy. Leaving tomorrow, back to work, fantastic long weekend. Beautiful lodge in a fantastic location, will definitely return to enjoy this beautiful part of the world. - March 2011
What a great place! This was our first time at Otter Lodge and won't be our last. The time has just flown by, everyday paacked but totally relaxing, just what we needed after a busy Christmas. The Queen's head was lovely; good, basic pub grub at the Haybarn too. A wonderful, cosy stay. We will definitely be back later in the year. - January 2011
"Although our holiday was delayed by one day due to the cabin water being frozen and we then spent the first 24 hours without water, ferrying buckets of water from the lodge my daughter was staying in (Kingfisher) we have thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The lodge is great, clean and well equipped. Zak, our 18-month-old dalmatian and his half brother Scoops (daughter's dog) have had a whale of a time. Our grown-up son who stayed with us in Otter has walked miles in the snow. The scenery is so beautiful, the food at The Haybarn brilliant. John was into communication with our daughter constantly until the water came on. Thank you John for your excellent customer service. My daughter, her husband and Scoops the dog staying in Kingfisher with Martin's mum and dad kept company with us and I had a great time. New Year's Eve brilliant buffet free at the Haybarn. Family had fab time and will be back. Thank you for the fab accommodation." - January 2011 (NB - we will be fitting trace heating to Otter Lodge this year to avoid any repetition of the frozen pipes issue - it was -19C the day before our guests arrived!!!) December 2010
"Had a fantastic weekend at Otter Lodge despite the cold weather and snow - just made the cabin even more inviting and cosy! We ate at the Haybarn - very comfy couches and lovely log fire. Also ate at Mortal Man - lovely place - a very comfortable and food was beautiful. The cabin is in a very good position within the park - despite the cold we managed to sit outside listening to the beck flowing with a nice glass of wine. Perfect start to Christmas. Sailed on Windermere from Bowness and had a lovely afternoon in Hawkshead. Will definitely return - our dogs loved their walks and will miss the place. Many thanks" - December 2010
"Very happy with our stay at Otter Lodge. Never stayed at the Lakes before. Would recommend it to friends and family. The lodge itself is warm and cosy. It feels like a million miles away from home. Wish we could have stayed longer, will be back at Otter Lodge in the summer if available (hope so). Best position on the site. Thank you so much. See ya soon."- November 2010
"We have absolutely loved our stay at Otter Lodge. We came for a weekend break to celebrate our first year together and got engaged! We felt really at home and only wish we could stay longer. We ate at the Queens Head and the Mortal Man and thoroughly enjoyed both. We found the Mortal Man to be like a cosy friendly local and the Queens Head was more upmarket with fantastic food. Both pubs gladly accepted our Jack Russell (Rusty), although the Mortal Man and made him feel right at home and spoiled him with lots of biscuits. We visited Bowness and Ambleside and thought that Bowness was a much better place to shop. We picked up some lovely Christmas presents. We will hopefully be back to stop in Otter Lodge in the future." - November 2010
"What a relaxing stay in idyllic surroundings!! Even the pouring rain every day couldn't dampen our spirits. It was great to go out on walks with our playful cocker spaniel knowing that you were "coming home" to a cosy and warm lodge. Our little five-year-old had a great time in a play area particularly the zip wire even in the boggy and wet conditions. The lodge is fantastic with every creature comfort provided and it was just great to relax and unwind from the stresses and strains of everyday working life. Would definitely recommend to family and friends and are considering a Christmas break in the very near future!" - October 2010
"So glad we came :-) The lodge was so comfy and warm and everything we needed was to hand. My daughter (six years) loves the play area and even this time of year the pool in the river. It is our second visit and my husband's first. I'm really happy that it was as I remembered. He has managed to relax for once and slow down. Great walks with our dog and good food and sky TV and the pub (football!!). I'd recommend the Lake District visitors centre at Brockhole - dog friendly and beautiful gardens and great play area. Looking forward to coming back soon. Thank you for a wonderful time"- October 2010
"What a fantastic lodge and a beautiful surrounding! We had a lovely chilled week away from the norm. Couldn't fault the lodge at all - everything we've needed has been here. Been on a lovely walk - Bobby loved it - and a boat trip on Lake Windermere. Gorgeous views and will definitely be back! Thanks for a lovely stay" - October 2010
"We had a lovely break away from home, felt like we could totally switch off in this stress-free cabin. Really is home from home and didn't need anything extra as it's all here !! We spent our time at Grizedale Forest and Whinlatter Forest, excellent trail walks with Zack our black lab - he loved it. Fantastic views can't believe we were all the way up the top. The day cruising from Ambleside - 4 mile walk to Bowness then back to Ambleside was another lovely day out. Recommend the Mortal Man pub food! Good menu and large portions, friendly and welcoming to us and Zak. Thanks for the lovely stay. Usually I'm ready for home after a holiday abroad but this holiday I could easily stay." - October 2010
"Another great week in the lodge. We had a visit of a badger on Tuesday night which has done a little bit of damage to the gate. Fantastic to see them but can do a lot of damage. At last after a week Jake our springer spaniel is worn out. Will be back again hopefully this year for a weekend." October 2010
"Stay just as good as last time, even with all the rain. We'll be here next year all being well. Thanks for a cosy cabin with all mod cons." - October 2010
"Very enjoyable stay, lovely well appointed lodge. Not our first visit to the Lake District and won't be our last. Would love to come back to Otter Lodge. Recommend good value at Haybarn and one of many good places is the Wateredge at Ambleside. Very clean and comfortable. Thanks."- September 2010
"Lovely lodge, wonderful setting plus the bonus of great weather for most of the week. Cosy, comfortable accommodation as per your information, everything we needed to hand. Very central for visiting different locations. This is the first time we have had a holiday with our dog. She enjoyed investigating the area and settled extremely well. Thank you John and Linda for a great week. We will be back"- September 2010
"Lovely lodge in a stunning setting. Breakfast on the deck, watching the ponies and listening to the babbling brook was a wonderful start to the day. Facilities in the lodge brilliant - we wanted for nothing. The bed was so comfortable! The beer garden at the Mortal Man is lovely, well worth a visit. All in all a very enjoyable holiday (Weather fantastic). We will be back." - September 2010
"Very happy with our stay in Otter Lodge. Everything was as described in your information. A beautiful plot, lovely views, pretty places to visit. The Haybarn pub was very comfortable and food was nice ... daughter aged nine loved the part and the pond area. Altogether a great place for R&R. Would recommend to friends and family." - August 2010
"What a lovely lodge and a fantastic location. Dog will not want to go home, he has loved his own private stream to splash about in. The Mortal Man was a treat on our first night and the food was great. Not so keen on the pub on site, the Haybarn, food was okay but nothing fantastic. Best bit was sitting on the balcony on a night in the sunshine with a glass of wine. Fantastic. Would definitely come back again." (but their daughter said: "I beg to differ, I loved the pub on site especially the jacket potato and lasagne. But I wasn't too keen on the Mortal Man as there wasn't much vegetarian options" - Must be horses for courses :-))- August 2010
"Fantastic lodge with fantastic facilities. It's brilliant to the way that you can bring your dog and they can run around the decking and not be able to get out due to the gate. Loved the reclining sofas and the bunkbed was extremely comfy (I was on top!) thanks for agreat stay in a lovely place. Views are great!" - August 2010
"Great lodge and a fantastic location, just wish we'd booked for longer ! Best place to eat was the Mortal Man! Pub on the site is nice and kid friendly too. Thanks a lot." August 2010
"Wow what can we say? -- the lodge was fantastic better than we imagined. Warm and comfortable and very peaceful. Just what we needed a few days away - no mobile phone coverage and no work hassles. We have loved every minute of it and I'm gutted to be going home. Wish we had booked for longer. Big thanks to John and Linda, the owners, you have provided everything we needed for a perfect long weekend. Little boy has had a ball and we can't wait to book again. Would recommend the Haybarn where we were made very welcome - lovely friendly service. The food was very good ( big portions)" - August 2010
"Well what can I say? This lodge is amazing, very comfortable and has everything you need, can't fault it one bit. Recommended is hiring a boat on Windermere and taking a barbecue with you sitting on the jetty. Will be returning" - August 2010
"Recommended to us by friends who have stayed in both Otter and Kingfisher Lodges. I was pleasantly surprised when we arrived to find the place just picture perfect. Fabulous views and location spot on. Clean and well equipped. Oscar, our Golden Lab settled in so well he looked like he lived here!! The perfect place for a well earned "chill out" from a busy world. Thank you to John and Linda for renting the lodge out. A place like home and it's simply wonderful!! We will be back for another stay " - August 2010
"Thank you for a lovely relaxing holiday - only one complaint - we have to go home! Location clean and comfortable - accommodation first-class thank you John and Linda" - July 2010
"What a lovely lodge and a great place. The weather not the greatest but we still had a brilliant time. Only one regret is we wish we had bought the dog! Maybe next time" - July 2010
"This has been our first mini break with our nine-month-old daughter, so I'd been a bit nervous that may be the lodge wouldn't be as well-equipped or comfortable as promised, but thankfully it's been great. We loved our weekend exploring the countryside, feeding the resident duck family and generally marvelling at the views. Sunday was very wet and windy, but knowing we had such a comfortable base to return to meant it really didn't spoil our trip. Thanks very much - and we look forward to returning here and exploring Cumbria again when our little girl is a little older" - July 2010
"What a wonderful holiday. Came with ourt German Shepherd dog who had a fabulous time. The lodge is excellent, very well equipped. The bed is extremely comfortable. We ate at the Haybarn, Mortal Man and the Queen's Head. All of them were very good but the Queen's Head is excellent. A little more expensive but of a very high standard. Gorgeous food! We can recommend hiring a boat on Ullswater where dogs were very welcome. Dog loved it. We will definitely return again as we've had a wonderful week. Lodge is in a beautiful location. Many thanks. PS look out for the resident duck and her babies - she calls for her bread." - July 2010
"A very nice lodge in a great location. The weather has been excellent - better than our last break in the Lakes. (Flood of November 09) Would recommend this place to friends and family. Should have booked two weeks." - June 2010
"Like the people before we also bought our 10-month black labrador, Macey. She had a brilliant time. We found the lodge cosy and had everything we could possibly need. The weather has been fantastic and we have done a few walks, the views are amazing. Macy was spoiled at The Mortal Man as the girls gave her biscuits, she thought that was wonderful. Shame to be going home tomorrow, thanks for a great time." - June 2010
"Thank you for letting us stay in your beautiful log cabin. My daughter and I are with our 10-month-old labrador Jake who has had such a good time here. Would love to return again. Sad to be going home." - June 2010
"Had a very relaxing break, the lodge is beautiful with one of the best spots on the park. We will be returning again. Our dod Millie had a brilliant time." - June 2010
"Have had a lovely break in the Lake District. The lodge and location is fantastic. We have enjoyed trips to Keswick ,Ullswater, Aira Force, the Kirkstone Pass, Windermere and of course Bowness. We found the service and meals at the Haybarn fantastic. Mortal man good too. We have found sitting on the sundeck listening to the flow of the river with a glass of winethe best! Our Cavalier King Charles Spaniel (Lottie) has enjoyed her holiday too - the dog walking area is very peaceful. We will be coming again" - May 2010
"We would just like to say thank you for letting us stay in your lodge. We were very surprised when we walked in. It is just perfect. The bed is so comfortable (must try and get one for home). The weather not too bad but the day we are going it is glorious. Wish we could stay longer. We will certainly be coming back - thank you again." - May 2010
"What a fantastic place. Wonderful location and first-class accommodation. Everything we needed. Truly a home from home. First holiday for our 12-month Bedlington who is normally quite nervous in new situations but not this time. He had a fantastic time and settled in immediately. The music and entertainment was a very nice touch. You really made his holiday first-class can't wait to revisit" - May 2010
"This is our second visit to Limefitt. We last came in December 09 and stayed at Kingfisher Lodge during the fabulous thick snow. This time the weather was lovely and we enjoyed many lovely walks in the local area. Otter Lodge is as comfortable cosy and homely as Kingfisher Lodge and we have loved our time here. Our 18-month-old son has loved watching the horses in the field opposite and seeing the ducks by the stream. We have enjoyed delicious meals in both pubs in Troutbeck and had a great walk to Ambleside via Wansfell Pike. We are already thinking about when to visit again! Thank you John and Linda for another wonderful holiday. We look forward to the next one." - May 2010
"What can we say? A perfect retreat to get away from the stress and strains of life! So tranquil and beautiful, the best location for a retreat we have ever had. The lodge itself is so comfortable and cosy we don't want to leave. Enjoyed a pint at the local in front of the fire, but the food at the highly recommended Mortal Man is at the top of our list. My daughter came for the day and the amenities ie play area, pool and horses were ideal for her. Now we feel totally refreshed and ready to get back to real life. We will definitely be back and will be calling you very soon. It will be recommended to all we know." - May 2010
"We have had a wonderful stay here at Otter Lodge. Fantastic views and great location. Enjoyed spending our evenings on the balcony watching the horses and feeding the resident duck! Thank you for a perfect break" - April 2010
"Fantastic lodge with amazing views. Lodge was homely and clean. Great walks for the dogs nearby and all the pubs dog friendly. Best pub - The Mortal Man. Food there was out of this world!! Looking forward to coming back again" - April 2010
"This has been a super weekend escape. Otter Lodge is a clean, cosy and must have one of the best positions on site. Sitting listening to the sound of the beck and looking at the view is so relaxing. Did some lovely walks straight from the door and managed to tire the dogs which was a bonus. Ate out at The Mortal Man both nights, great food and Timothy Taylor's beer - what more could anyone want! I have a dodgy back and often struggle with uncomfy beds while on holiday - not here though - fantastic comfy nights sleep. Thanks John for the perfect dog friendly break. Will be back without a doubt." - April 2010
"Spent a lovely few days here at to lodge. Location, scenery and facilities fantastic. Lovely and clean and well equipped. A big thank you to John, the owner, for all his support when our car broke down. Will definitely come back." April 2010
"My second visit to the Hobson lodges. This time with the other members of my family. They were very impressed. Lovely birthday here on Sunday. We had great weather for the time of year. This time we had a barbecue and lovely fish and chips at the Haybarn on site. They were so friendly and loved the dog. I have to force myself to pack up and leave now!" April 2010

We want to recommend the Coniston Boating Centre as we took out a motorboat for four hours and had a barbecue on a jetty it was heaven! Also the Italian restaurant, Dobbs, in Ambleside was lovely. Having our dinner on the balcony at night listening to the river has definitely been a highlight, which is why we hope to see you again soon. We don't want to leave!" - March 2010

The fire didn't work properly when we arrived but when John called to see if we had made it safely, we told him and within a few hours he had it fixed. Fab service.

However, best news came when a proposal took place between myself and my now fiance . Of course I accepted within the picturesque surroundings!! A big thanks to John and Linda for the best Christmas ever." - December 2009
"Firstly we would like to say we have thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Otter Lodge. The view with the snow has been absolutely stunning - like a Christmas card scene. the lodge itself was extremely clean and was kitted out with all the necessities and more. We took a walk to the Mortal Man and enjoyed a well deserved drink! We found the staff to be very polite and welcoming as we sat defrosting by the log fires. Also the Lighthouse restaurant in the town served good quality food. It's very apparent staying here that the lodge is well cared for by its owners. I was surprised with just the amount of "stuff" we had at our disposal.We stayed during some heavy snow and the lodge is well located. We did walks to Ambleside and Windermere -- although we feel very tired for it! We would recommend the lodge to family and friends without reservation. - December 2009 "

Though the weather was typically Cumbrian (rained all the stay), we enjoyed it very much! Thanks again! In case any of us will be travelling nearby, we will try to make a stay again. (Sorry for my English, it is not perfect)" (note from John - it's rather better than my Czechoslovakian though!)" - November 2009

Location is great - we are not strangers to the Lakes, but we have not stayed on this side before - lovely. Thanks to owners for a very well turned out lodge - we especially like the view out from the balcony - even a kingfisher or two!" (note from John- you were in the wrong lodge - you are only supposed to see Otters from this one :-))" - October 2009
"What a "magical" stay we have had here at "Otter Lodge". The lodge stands in one of the best positions in the park. The brochure photos don't do it justice. The amenities on the site are superb. We must comment on the contents in the lodge. Talk about "home from home". NOTHING has been missed out at all, and it was all spotless and clean. It really is a credit to the owners, John & Linda, - two really lovely people. 10/10 We shall be back." - October 2009

I love to cook. I try at least one new recipe a week. The last of my 4 children is preparing to leave the nest so I cook differently now the the boys(vacuums with teeth) are gone. I have the time to explore my cookbook collection (over 1000) I have been trying new and different dishes. I read voraciously and like to hike. I enjoy travelling and have been doing more of it.
I go on binges, experimenting with an ingredient, course, cuisine or method. The kids loved the cookie period, were not so fond of the Greek summer but were tolerant of the sundried tomato and quesadilla stages. My children are turning into marvelous cooks on their own. In the winter I tend to cook from recipes but in the summer I freewheel it. Summer at the cottage tends to be full of good food and good company.

The Blossoming of Naturals
By: Rachel Chapman
Posted: June 11, 2008, from the November 2006 issue of Skin Inc. magazine.
page 5 of 5
For the beauty industry, this means that more responsibility will be put on the companies in regard to chemical risks, and the industry will have to provide information about the safety of all chemical substances. The legislation also could require the substitution of some chemical products, even if they are safe for use. For now, this act is active only in Europe, but it has the potential to shift the industry away from synthetics and back to nature. As the law becomes established, a prediction could be made that naturals will be relied on increasingly in the future.
It's a craze
From the depths of the sea to the highest mountain ranges, Mother Nature provides a plethora of natural ingredients that further enhances the landscape of the skin care industry. With growing client interest in holistic wellness and sustainability, what's happening on the product development horizon soon will impact the treatment room.

"Very festive! We served as our "signature drink" at Thanksgiving. The floating rosemary spring and fresh cranberry made for a very festive look! We served in a glass martini pitcher which looked beautiful sitting on the bar. And they were delicious."
"This was great! I made yesterday for Thanksgiving. I made it exactly as written except that I only used two cups of chicken broth and let simmer on the stove while I waited for the drippings to be brought in from the turkey (we BBQ the turkey). Then I mixed in 2 cups of drippings and it was good to go! Great and very easy."
"I made these yesterday for Thanksgiving. They were absolutely delicious, incredibly creamy and very rich. I made them exactly as instructed, mashed them smooth with my immersion blender and then put them in the crockpot on low for 3 hours before dinner. Right before we ate I gave them another quick blend and a splash of milk and transferred them t..."
"These were so easy to put together and had GREAT flavor! I added the 1 tsp. vanilla extract, but other than that didn't change anything. I will definitely make again."

"My mom is always in my room and on my computer. She even comes up with excuses to look at my photos online. She feels the need to search every part of my room, and I feel like I have no personal space. Ive spoken to her before about this, but she still does it. What should I do?"
Talk to her about it to find out, and try not to attack her. If you feel that she doesnt trust you, ask her what you can do to gain her trust. Perhaps that would mean sticking to your curfew, or having your friends hang out at your house every once in a while. When you follow the rules and she knows that you are with other trustworthy people, you might see a different and more freedom-giving side to your mom. If her efforts continue to feel like unwanted detective work, talk to her about creating your own personal space. She should understand your need for privacy after you have a mature discussion with her about it.

Transformer Windings (not Wingdings)
Name: Peter Status: Student Grade: 9-12 Location: NY Country: United States Date: August 2006
What are 'wingdings' in an electrical transformer?
There are no "wingdings" in an electrical transformer. At least in my opinion, someone else may have a different feeling about it. There are "windings", which of coarse are the conductive copper coils around the magnetic iron core. So I bet you saw a miss-spelling.
On rare occasions an electrical schematic might contain a symbol for a "saturable reactor" type of transformer. It's not used as a transformer (AC in, AC out), but rather as a DC-adjustable inductor (DC current through control winding, AC voltage trying to get through the power winding). Physically it is different from a regular transformer only in small details of the magnetic material used, the shape of the core, and the turns ratio.
All inductors with magnetic cores saturate. At a certain [current x turns] product the material in the core cannot be magnetized any more strongly, so the magnetic field in the core stops growing, so no back-emf is created to oppose current flow from the voltage being applied, so current starts getting much larger. That is why AC power transformers have an input-voltage limit. But in saturable reactors, all the little design aspects are optimized to make it a fairly sharp change instead of a muddy, gradual change, and the control winding is given a DC current to use up a controllable amount of the core's maximum flux.
In the schematic, to distinguish this type from a regular transformer, little right-angle offshoot lines are added to the end of the double-lines which denote the iron core. It is quite reminiscent of the tabs added to the symbol for a diode, to make it a "zener diode". After all, the core "saturates" abruptly at a given magnetic flux, much like a zener diode starts conducting abruptly at a given voltage..
If somebody called those little offshoot lines "wingdings" I would not be too surprised. But those are merely part of the symbol; there is no corresponding part in the actual device.
Jim Swenson
Hi Peter,
Actually, there are no "Wingdings" in a transformer! I think you may have been referring to "Windings". Please note that the word "Wingdings" does in fact appear in several web sites in relationship to transformers, but every instance I have seen is clearly a misspelling of the word "Windings". Perhaps you had seen this rather amusing error and were wondering about it?.
By further explanation, a transformer consists of a magnetic "core" commonly made of a special type of steel or a magnetic material called "ferrite", a "primary winding", and one or more "secondary winding(s)".
These "windings" are many turns of copper wire that are wound around a place in the core. If there are fewer turns of wire that are wound in the secondary section as compared to the number of turns in the primary, the voltage that the secondary winding delivers will be lower than that which is the fed to the primary. If there are more turns of wire in the secondary section than the primary, then the secondary will deliver a higher voltage than that which is fed to the primary.

Here in Bishop's Cove there are a hundred sewer lines going to the sea. Next door in Upper Island Cove , the sewers connect and discharge in 3 places, 50 feet off the beach. In the other direction, in Spaniard's Bay, they once had a treatment plant . It was too expensive to operate, so for the past decade , it too empties it's raw sewage into beach areas. They are the bubble sones , where the birds hang out. Not a nice tourist attraction. Not good for fish or kids. In Island Cove , noted for thier houmour, they tell how Geoff Stirling on a visit to the GaleCliff B&B, decided to take a swim in the sea. It is said he liked attention. No one else swam in the sea there,, for obvious reasons- the sewer outfall was only a hundred feet away. But Geoff didn't know that, and being Geoff, was out of reach before anyone knew. In Island Cove they tell, with a laugh " we had to shot rocks at 'en , to get ,en to come in" Imagine any Nflder going to the USA and having an experience like that. And yet we are indifferent to it here. In Alaska, was it, they built a road to nowhere. good politics up there then. With no demand for power here we plan to build a power system for unneeded power from Labrador. The federal government is mandating we stop raw sewage being dumped into the sea- but where will the money come from? Are priorities screwed up/

Just wait until the repair bills start coming due on the low-density, low-population, single-use post-war suburban mess that North America has been building for the past 65 years, and continues to build without any regard for future costs.

CBS just started a 23 million ice rink and they have the nerve to ask the fed's for money to repair roads and water. What do they expect from the taxpayer ?
- October 29, 2012 - 06:37
DERRICK, You have obviously no idea how all this gets funded. The ice rink is a joint venture by all levels of government, as is road repairs and other projects. All levels of government budget for various aspects of municipal assistance such as recreation, water and sewer, roads and other items. This money, as I said, is budgeted yearly, you should really study how these things work before making such uneducated comments.

Mr. Wangersky, I can't help but compare the state of our highways to those of the U.S. Over the past few years I have driven on their Interstate Highways and their secondary roads and have been very impressed with the condition of their sysytems. I realize we face more obstacles, such as worse winters and rougher terrain but what I found there was that even their secondary roads are often twinned. In lots of cases, one can take a comfortable, relaxed drive over four-lane highways, where traffic volumes are very light, and posted speeds are 65-70 MPH. The condition of highways is a problem here, both provincially and nationally. Some of our national systems are good but many are crumbling and poorly designed. Highway 17 through much of northern Ontario comes to mind! When you combine highway and municipal infrastructure needs in this country, you find a huge need for investment and I fear governments are not up to the task. If we, in this province, are forced to have the Muskrat Falls project rammed down our throats, you will see an already weak infrastructure system get even worse and become more dangerous and ever more expensive to replace. Simply put, Muskrat Falls will drain us of the necessary funds to upgrade our infrastructure, or even maintain it at the current inadequate levels.

Meet the Total Joint Center Physicians
Shoulder replacement surgery was first introduced in the 1950s to treat severe shoulder fractures. Since that time, there has been extensive innovation in shoulder replacement, as well as expansion in the indications for the procedure. Shoulder replacement is most commonly performed to treat degenerative joint disease (osteoarthritis) and has been highly successful in relieving pain and restoring function. It is also used to treat severe rotator cuff tears, rheumatoid arthritis, posttraumatic conditions, and avascular necrosis, among other problems.
The shoulder girdle is comprised of three bones including the humerus (arm bone), scapula (shoulder blade), and clavicle (collarbone), as well as numerous muscles. The shoulder joint (glenohumeral joint) is a ball-and-socket joint made up the humeral head (ball) and glenoid (socket). Because the humeral head is much larger than the glenoid (like a golf ball on a tee) the shoulder is highly dependent on soft tissues (rotator cuff, labrum, capsule and ligaments) for stability.
The shoulder is the most mobile and least stabile large joint in the body. This allows the shoulder to have extensive motion to support function of the hand and upper extremity. In addition the smooth articular cartilage on the humerus and glenoid allows almost frictionless motion of the shoulder joint.
The rotator cuff, a group of four muscles and tendons that extend from the scapula to the humerus to the scapula and surrounding the shoulder joint are extremely important for normal shoulder motion, strength and function.
The majority of patients undergoing shoulder replacement surgery-those with little or no damage to the rotator cuff-benefit from traditional total shoulder replacement, in which a plastic component resurfaces the glenoid (socket) and a metal implant replaces the damaged humeral head (ball), mimicking the natural anatomy of the shoulder joint.
For patients who suffer from severe arthritis combined with a torn rotator cuff, the standard replacement surgery may not be adequate. A more recent procedure called reverse total shoulder replacement changes the structure so that the socket and ball are switched. A metal ball is placed onto the scapula and the socket is placed at the top of the humerus. Movement relies on the stronger deltoid shoulder muscle, offering pain relief combined with functional restoration for these patients.
In addition, some severe proximal humerus fractures that cannot be fixed can be treated with traditional or reverse total shoulder replacements.
The Total Joint Center has surgeons with vast experience performing all types of shoulder replacement surgery, from the simplest and least invasive to the most complex. In addition, they are leaders in the development of new shoulder replacement techniques and are internationally recognized for their research and for educating other shoulder surgeons throughout the world.

Here's how to find – and eliminate – these wireless dead zones.
Virtually every Raspberry Pi project will require a network connection, and considerable flexibility can be gained by ignoring the Ethernet port in favour of a wireless USB dongle.
The RAVPower WD01 can charge mobile devices and function as a standalone wireless storage drive, but do you need both features in the same package? And is it worth the money?
SD cards are mostly just plastic – put a tiny WiFi chip inside and suddenly they take on a whole new life, allowing for wireless data transfer.

Coit Tower? Old news. The trolley? Too touristy. And anyway, this weekend's opening of the new California Academy of Sciences blows other San Francisco attractions out of the water. The breathtaking Renzo Piano-designed building is the greenest museum ever built—and has architecture critics in a frenzy of anticipation. Witness the 2.5-acre rolling green roof (which will absorb almost 2 million gallons of rainwater per year), the 60,000 solar panels, the four-story glass domed living Rainforest, and one of the world's largest aquariums. And for the ultimate San Francisco treat? Digest it all along with famed Slanted Door chef Charles Phan's food at the in-museum cafe and restaurant, which source from the roof's 1.7 million plants.

Dandy Gyms Before buying a strength-training machine, give it a good workout
When actually used, any of them can build strength, to some degree. But few may be as convenient, safe, inviting and popular as a multistation home gym. Such machines are amalgams of club equipment that emphasize one body part per station. Attempts to squeeze many exercises into a single machine, though, have created another host of choices. I recently visited (anonymously) 14 stores and tried dozens of machines to come up with some considerations when shopping for home gyms. (Though some devices use free-weight plates, here I'll address only "selectorized" units, which have pins for choosing resistance from a built-in stack of weights.) Space is the first issue for many people. The key is how much room a machine takes up when in use, since attachments and a user's arms and legs often extend beyond the listed footprint. Some gyms, like the Vectra C-1 ($2,399) we bought a few years ago, are designed to fit into corners. Cost. Most inexpensive (as low as $200 to $300) units are so wobbly, stiff and uncomfortable that if possible I'd save up until I could afford at least $1,000, perhaps $2,000 or more. That's not including attachments, a mat if desired, delivery and installation. Patient shoppers can sometimes find good deals by researching first then watching the classified ads. Warranty. Several companies offer limited warranties, with shorter periods for cables and upholstery, longer for pulleys and bushings, and sometimes longer still for frames. At least one, Body-Solid, offers a lifetime warranty on the whole machine. Note: Labor is rarely included in warranties.
Features: A gym with two weight stacks can take two users at once and requires fewer adjustments of weights, cables and benches between exercises. Some folks prefer a prone bench press over a vertical (seated) press. Though most machines offer leg extensions (which work the front of the thighs), fewer have leg-press or squat stations.
Weight stacks topped with incremental weights, which allow initial lifts to progress 5 pounds at a time instead of 10. Pacific Fitness has them, and also has rubber guide-rod ends in its weight stacks, eliminating some of the metal-to-metal clang. (Pacific has been purchased by Precor of Bothell, so newer machines have the Precor name.) Multi-hip attachments that put resistance on the thigh instead of pulling at the ankle. Machines with articulated arms, which allow the user to move easily through a variety of planes during upper-body exercises. Parabody's 777 ($1,799) uses cables and V-groove pulleys for an effect similar to the Bowflex. The TuffStuff Apollo 250 Deluxe ($3,695) features a seated leg-curl station, which is vastly more comfortable than leg curls done lying face down, not to mention the awkward standing ones offered by many machines. The Hoist 400 ($2,895) offers the attachment of my dreams an assisted chin-up/dip station ($895), which uses offsetting weight to let me do those exercises even when I can't lift my own weight. The most important factor in evaluating a home gym is the test drive. I would not buy one before trying it out thoroughly. Make seat, bench, cable and weight adjustments yourself instead of letting the salesperson breeze through them. Try all the lifts, varying from light to heavy resistance. Does the machine feel stable? Are the lifts smooth? Do you hear parts rubbing? Are the seats, benches, handles and pads in comfortable positions? Can they be adjusted? Everyone who will be using the machine should test it size differences matter. Give it a good workout, because with delivery and installation costs and hassles, you're not as likely to return a home gym as you are, say, an ab roller.

Although I did not book them, I did call them and talk to a CM about it...they're apparently $209 per night with no discounts in June, so I'd expect about that much when you're going in November/December.
Cool, first person to get the use of them better report back to us. Wonder if they will over AP discounts on these rooms?

Ruston, La — A second person has died following a major, two-vehicle crash involving a semi last week near Ruston.
At 11:30 p.m., on Thursday, state troopers responded to a wreck on Interstate 20, about 12 miles west of Ruston.
An investigation revealed a car, driven by Michael Hubbard, 25, of Shreveport, was heading east on Interstate 20 when it crossed the median and hit an 18-wheeler, driven by David Alday, of Jaurez, Mexico, 41, traveling west on I-20.
Hubbard was pronounced dead at the scene by the Lincoln Parish Coroner's Office. Two passengers in the car, Andrew Perkins, 25 of Shreveport, Jarde Miller, 23, of Bossier City, were taken to a Shreveport hospital with critical injuries. A third passenger in the car, a minor, was also taken to a nearby hospital with moderate injuries.
A family member tells KMSS Miller is currently in stable condition. The minor's status is unknown.
Perkins has now been pronounced dead, according to the Caddo Parish Coroner's Office. Both people killed were students at Grambling, according to WDSU.
Alday was wearing his seat belt and did not report any injuries. Investigators do not believe he was impaired in any way when the crash occurred.

The Global Intelligence Files
On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.
[OS] Remarks by President Obama and Prime Minister Necas of the Czech Republic before Bilateral Meeting

Office of the Press Secretary
For Immediate Release October
27, 2011
Oval Office
PRESIDENT OBAMA: Well, I want to extend a heartfelt welcome to Prime
Minister Necas and his delegation. This gives me a chance to return the
hospitality that the Czech people have provided me on the two occasions
that I've had an opportunity to visit. I've always been someone who not
only wanted to visit but -- wanted to visit the Czech Republic, but also
because I come from Chicago -- we've got a lot of people who are
originally from the Czech Republic, and they've made enormous
contributions to our country as well.
Let me say first at the top, the Prime Minister just came from Brussels,
where he was part of the negotiations around the eurozone crisis. I'm
glad to see that progress was made in the recent meetings. I think it is
an important first step. We've seen that, although it's very complicated,
obviously the countries of the eurozone and all of Europe are committed to
the European project and are intent on making sure that it continues.
So we've seen that the message that they are going to deal with this in a
serious way has calmed markets all around the world. It will help lay the
predicate for long-term economic growth not only in Europe but around the
world. The key now is to make sure that it is implemented fully and
decisively, and I have great confidence in the European leadership to make
that happen.
With respect to the relationship between the United States and the Czech
Republic, it continues to be strong. The Czech Republic is one of our
greatest allies and has provided the kind of support and cooperation on
both security and non-security issues that is a mark of a true ally. As a
fellow NATO member, we have consistently reaffirmed our Article 5
commitment that says that an attack on any one of us is an attack on all
of us, and that we have to make sure that we continue to have the kind of
strong mutual defense posture that's required. And the Czech Republic has
reflected that commitment in the extraordinary efforts it has made in
Afghanistan, for which we are deeply appreciative.
I will tell you that when you talk to American commanders in Afghanistan
and you ask them who are some of our best and most effective partners,
they consistently say the Czech Republic. And so we are very grateful for
their contributions, and we are going to be working and collaborating with
them as we move into a transition process where we increasingly make sure
that Afghans are taking the security lead in their country.
We also are going to have an opportunity to discuss a range of economic
and commercial ties and issues. We want to continue to deepen our
relationship around research and development, around civil nuclear power,
around how we can strengthen trade between our two countries. And so,
over all, I think it's fair to say that, although the relationship between
the United States and the Czech Republic economically is very strong, it
can always be stronger. And we're going to look for additional
opportunities for collaboration.
Finally, let me just say that the Czechs continue to inspire the world
with their own transition from being behind the Iron Curtain to freedom
and democracy. And so their strong stance on issues of human rights and
democracy and freedom around the world is extraordinarily important. And
I know the Prime Minister is committed to making sure that the Czech
Republic continues to send a signal around the world, whether it's in the
wake of the Arab Spring, or other countries where freedom and democracy
have not yet been achieved, that they are able to continue to set a great
example and provide the kind of leadership and technical assistance that's
so important for many of these countries.
So, overall, Mr. Prime Minister, I want to thank you for your leadership
not only in our bilateral relations, but the Czech Republic's leadership
in many multilateral fora. We want to welcome you and I hope that you
enjoy your stay here.
PRIME MINISTER NECAS: Thank you. Thank you, Mr. President, for your kind
words. Thank you for your hospitality you have shown to me and to my
We are indeed allies in numerous endeavors in Europe and around the
world. We are together in Afghanistan. We are ready to work together on
the process of transition in this country.
We are preparing a major summit in Chicago, Mr. President's hometown, and
also, as he stated, we have many Czech connections.
It will be necessary to create a framework for keeping our defense
capability in the current economical situation. I would like to discuss
the issue of the project to create a special helicopter pilot training
center of excellence, as a part of a Smart Defense initiative within
We would like to discuss, of course, the economical situation -- the
situation on both sides of the Atlantic, vis-`a-vis the current crisis of
eurozone, and last but not least, the promotion of human rights and
democracy around the world.
We would like to discuss our participation within Open Government
Partnership initiative, and of course, a discussion concerning center for
civil nuclear cooperation -- because we do appreciate your strong
leadership, your announcement that you'd like to have a vision of a world
without nuclear weapons that was announced in Prague.
Thank you.
PRESIDENT OBAMA: Welcome.
Q Mr. President, do you think that the deal in Europe will help prevent
another recession?
PRESIDENT OBAMA: There has been progress. And so the key now is to make
sure that there's strong follow-up, strong execution of the plans that
have been put forward. But I was very pleased to see that the leaders of
Europe recognize that it is both in Europe's interest and the world's
interest that the situation is stabilized. And I think they've made
significant progress over the last week. And the key now is just to make
sure that it drives forward in an effective way.
But it will definitely have an impact on us here in the United States. If
Europe is weak, if Europe is not growing, as our largest trading partner,
that's going to have an impact on our businesses and our ability to create
jobs here in the United States.
Thanks. Thank you so much.

Woman found shot, dead in car near 52nd and Pecos Sunday morning
Person of interest sought in case
ADAMS COUNTY, Colo. - The Adams County Sheriff's Office is investigating a homicide after a woman was found shot to death inside an SUV near west 52nd Ave. and Pecos Street.
"The whole driver's side was busted out," said Zach Lucero, whose family restaurant shares the parking lot where the vehicle was found.
Sgt. Paul Gregory said a deputy first noticed the red Ford Expedition before six Sunday morning in a parking lot near Pecos Street. When he approached the SUV he found the woman's body. According to scanner traffic, the woman was shot multiple times and was cold to the touch.
"The officer said that it was a young girl who had been shot. They didn't say exactly where she was shot, just that she had been shot," said Lucero.
Neighbors told 7NEWS they didn't hear any gunshots or anything else suspicious during the night. Detectives went door to door Sunday morning looking for witnesses.
"The cops came over about six this morning and asked if I heard anything," said one neighbor.
Investigators haven't released the woman's identity. Neighbors who didn't want to be identified told 7NEWS the woman and SUV were frequently at a bar just one building away from the crime scene. They didn't know whether she was at that bar last night or why someone would want her dead.
The SUV was towed and investigators said they will process it for evidence.
Sunday afternoon, the sheriff's office asked for the public's help in locating a "person of interest" in the case. They identified the person as 25-year-old Miguel Angel Gonzalez. He is 6-feet tall and weighs 215 pounds, with black hair, brown eyes and numerous tattoos on his arms, hands, chest, neck and abdomen.
Gonzalez' arrest record dates back to 2007. Arrests over the last few years include assault, menacing and a violation of a protection order in January, according to records obtained by 7NEWS.
Gonzalez may be driving a maroon 1994 Mercury sedan with Colorado license plate 005 WTZ. The vehicle has oversized wheels.
If you know of this man's whereabouts, please contact the Adams County Sheriff's Office.
