This is the perfect pale pink blush for me. I have pale, warm skin, meaning that most pale pink blushes don't look quite right on me. This one does, and it has very nice staying power. Will be repurchasing.

I have VERY pale skin with a bit of redness and pink marks left over from past acne issues...I find Pink sorbet to be the perfect colour on me. I've noticed when I use pink blush it makes my skin look more ruddy and peachy-pinks look much better on me...THIS is a perfect peachy-pink colour. It's not shimmery or matte, I'd call it a satin finish and I find it blends out well to look natural **I even looked good when I applied it with the tiny brush it came with.

This is a really pretty everyday blush color. I have very fair skin so I have to be careful with blush bc it can easily look over done on my. I don't have to worry about that with this blush. It's nicely pigmented and smooth and even when applied. One of the best cheap blushes I've ever tried. Sadly rimmel's blushes are getting harder and harder to find.. I can only find them at Walmart. But if you see this pick it up! It's insanely cheap and amazing.

The color looks very pretty in the pan, but swatched on the skin it's a very pale pink that barely shows up. On my cheeks it gives a decent pink sheen, but I can't really wear it alone because it's not pigmented enough. I mostly use it to set cream blushes because it gives a certain glow and makes them look less matte.

What a lovely, soft dusty pink! This blush goes on so easily and it's a great shade for those of us that are super fair, like me. This is a neutral color for me and gives me a healthy glow instead of looking like I've put on too much blush. I usually go for darker, deeper pinks but decided to give this shade a try. I'm so glad that I did. I've worn it all this week and I really love it. I'm beginning to wonder if I've been wearing the wrong color blushes since this one looks so much better on my skin!

I got this at Rite Aid for $5. It is really surprised me how good this Blush is. It's comparable to HE products for the fraction of the price.
The color is perfect. I looked at Santa Rose and Pink Rose but they were too brown for my taste. This is a great pop of color that is perfect for Spring. It has just the right amount of pigmentation too. One or two swipes is the perfect amount.
One thing that I wish it had is a better brush and better packaging. But I guess that's why the cost is so low.

FINALLY!!!!! A blush that does not make me look like a complete hooker! I have pretty pale skin, and I am so glad to see that rimmel carries a blush that is light enough for those pale girls like myself. The texture and application is silky smoothe and pigmented. Makes me look so healthy and pretty! I will repurchase again as again!

I find myself reaching for this quite often when I want a soft pink flushed from within look to my cheeks. What I love most about this is that it is never shimmery on the skin but it's not dull and matte. The colour is buildable, too.
In natural light it doesn't look muddy or make your pores look large.
I don't use the brush that comes with this as I find the bristles rough and stiff. Packaging is not high end but the price is reasonable (about $8). I was a bit concerned that the colour wouldn't show up on my cheeks as it looks quite light at first sight. But was pleasantly surprised when I saw how much pigment it had...actually more pigment than the ever famous Tarte pink blush.
On days when I want a bit more colour pay off or a bit of sheen, I will brush Benefit's Bellabamba lightly on top of this one or use a pinky cream blush.
Definite keeper! You can't go wrong, so go out and buy this!

This is a perfect shade of everyday pink! It's a neutral pink that is light enough to wear with a darker eye and bright enough to wear with a more neutral eye. I love this shade, it lasts long and is an everyday no-brainer blush for me!

Perfect, perfect, perrrrrfect! Such a pretty shade of pink. For the product itself: the powder is great, as is the consistency. Easy to apply, and looks absolutely darling on me (and nearly every skin tone, too, I imagine). I don't remember how much I paid (maybe $6 at Shoppers?) so it wasn't very expensive. Highly suggest you buy! One of my favourite blushes!

In the wake of the news, Revis has been the topic of conversation for fans around New England. Boston.com's Obnoxious Boston Fan column jokes that Revis Island has been relocated between Nantucket and Martha's Vineyard. He believes that this move shows that the Patriots are "all in" and that he wouldn't be surprised if Belichick targets other big-name free agents such as Steve Smith, Julius Peppers, or Jared Allen in the coming days.
The Boston Globe's Ben Volin explains what the signing means for this upcoming year and details how much money the Patriots have left to sign other free agents. He believes that Belichick will likely release more players and restructure existing contracts to make more cap space.
"Bill Belichick has crafted a Hall of Fame coaching career out of being unpredictable. Wednesday evening, he shocked the NFL world by opening his wallet and spending big to land one of the league's best players," says Volin.
ESPN New York's Rich Cimini calls this deal a nightmare. Cimini says that Revis gave Jets fans a false hope by leaking "half-truths" that he wanted to go back to New York. He says there was no chance of a Jets-Revis reunion, making the heartbreak even that much worse for Jets fans.
"Don't beat yourself up. It was never going to happen. Not ever," Cimini explains to Jets fans. "Revis never wanted to return to the Jets; it was always the Patriots."
Gary Myers of the New York Daily News echoes Cimini's feelings saying that it doesn't get any worse for the Jets. Like Cimini, Myers explains that Revis was never close to a return to New York and that nothing changed from a year ago.
"He's one of the best players in Jets history and now he's joining up with Bill Belichick, whom he called a "jerk" two years ago, and
In addition to Revis, the Patriots may be considering signing former Seattle Seahawks cornerback Brandon Browner. After hosting Brandon LaFell, Wesley Wooyard, Shelley Smith and Matt Shaughnessy on visits yesterday, ESPN Boston's Field Yates says that the Patriots are scheduled to meet with Browner later today at Gillette Stadium. Browner is suspended for the first four games in 2014 for a violation of the league's substance abuse policy, but was a good compliment opposite Richard Sherman before being suspended.
There was also a report this morning that the Cleveland Browns are making a strong push to sign

(Printer Friendly Version-pdf-128 KB) (Download a free copy of Adobe Acrobat Reader)
Galearis spectabilis (L.) Raf.
Showy Orchis
- State Rank: S1
- Global Rank: G5
- State Status: Endangered
Habitat: Rich, mostly calcareous woods. [Hardwood to mixed forest (forest, upland)].
Range: New Brunswick to Ontario, Dakota, Georgia, Kentucky, Missouri and Nebraska.
Aids to Identification: The showy orchis has two basal leaves, oval in shape, around 15 cm long and 7 cm wide, and shining dark green in color. The flower stalk rises about 15 cm above the ground, and bears several flowers about 2-3 cm in length. The flowers have rose-purple petals and a white lip (the modified lower petal).
Ecological characteristics: Found in scattered rich wooded areas, usually in woods of calcareous, or limy, nature. Often grows in clusters of several plants, but the clumps may be widely scattered and inconspicuous due to surrounding vegetation.
Phenology: In Maine, flowers in early June.
Family: Orchidaceae
Synonyms: Formerly known as Orchis spectabilis L.
Known Distribution in Maine: This rare plant has been documented from a total of 13 town(s) in the following county(ies): Franklin, Kennebec, Oxford, Somerset.
Dates of documented observations are: 1885, 1893, 1896, 1906, 1907, 1915 (3), 1916, 1928, 1941 (3), 1974, 1996, 1998 (2)
Reason(s) for rarity: In part, scarcity of calcareous woods habitat.
Conservation considerations: Orchids are popular among some speciality gardeners, and populations of this species are vulnerable to unscrupulous or uneducated collectors. Plants dug from the wild usually do not survive; more importantly, removing these plants harms the natural population and may cause its eventual disappearance. Not known to have been successfully propagated, so any plants offered for sale have almost certainly been dug from the wild. The effects of logging are unknown, but partial removal of the canopy would be less likely to adversely affect the plant than complete removal.

With Moi-Même Personal Tailoring, you can design your own petite professional clothing and custom women's suits – selecting silhouettes that flatter your figure and choosing styles and colors that are chic and appropriate for your workplace.
By fashion-industry definition, a petite woman is 5'4" or shorter. If this describes you, then a paucity of contemporary petite clothing options might leave you looking too young or too old for your age. And, if you are like most petites, you spend more time with your tailor than you would like.

We understand the frustration of finding the style you love only to realize the sleeves reach your knuckles or the rise is too long. Personal tailoring might be the best solution for you. At Moi-Même, we offer custom petite clothing for stylish women seeking the most flattering petite looks and fit. You will not look like you went through your mother's wardrobe and you will not feel inappropriate or disheveled because your clothes are just too big for you. All of our styles are available in petite heights, so you can design your own garments that reflect your unique personality. Find your heart's delight in our collection of custom petite suits, jackets, dresses and shirts. |

"Since there are many body types and sizes that fall within the petite range, personal tailoring is a great option, especially when it comes to items like jacket dresses or two-piece business suits for women.

Moi-Même tailors custom petite clothing:
PETITE PANTS & PANT SUITS FOR PETITES While all of our styles are available in petite heights, we do not recommend turnaround cuff hems on pants for petite women, as the cuffs visually cut off the vertical line of your legs and might leave them looking shorter than they actually are. If you are a pear-shaped petite (curvy through the hips or thighs), read our recommendations for pear-shaped women. Our suggestion for the perfect pant suit for petite women is to pair one of our shorter silhouette petite suit jackets with one of our made-to-order pants.
PETITE SKIRTS & SKIRT SUITS FOR PETITES We recommend our pencil skirts and "lowercase A-line" silhouette skirts for petite women as an A-line silhouette is often just too much fabric for a petite woman, causing imbalance. A straighter skirt will also emphasize a vertical line, making you look taller. The Cairns pencil skirt is our most popular petite skirt for good reason: the classic style is timeless and, like all our skirts, we will hem it to a length appropriate for your height. For the perfect petite skirt suit, pair one of our shorter silhouette petite suit jackets with one of our made-to-order skirts.
| PETITE JACKETS & PETITE SUIT JACKETS We offer suitable jacket styles for every work environment. Our shorter silhouette petite suit jackets (see Reykjavik, below) were designed specifically with the petite woman in mind. They are all cut a bit shorter to visually lengthen your legs and balance your petite proportions. If you seek a more traditional look, our Torino jacket is a true classic and it will be cut to the appropriate length for your body; this is a style with which you cannot go wrong. For interview suits for petite women, pair the Torino jacket with our Cape Town pant or Cairns pencil skirt.
PETITE SHIRTS & PETITE DRESS SHIRTS We have no specific recommendations as all of our shirts are available in petite lengths. If you have a large bust, however, be sure to read our recommendations for full-chested women.
PETITE DRESSES For slim or straight-figured petite women, we highly recommend the Singapore or Seoul sheath dresses as the long, clean lines and fitted look will flatter your figure while giving you length. If you are a bit curvier through the hips, we recommend Melbourne (shown below), a petite dress with a slight A-line skirt. Our tailored dresses are the perfect foundation for our petite suits. In particular, the top-stitched waistband detail of the Singapore dress and side-slit top stitching on our Melbourne dress compliment the detail on our Reykjavik and Madrid petite suit jackets.

Nine Thai soldiers charged with Chinese sailors' massacre
Nine Thai soldiers have been charged with October's brutal slaying of 13 Chinese sailors on a section of the Mekong River where the borders Thailand, Laos and Myanmar meet.
The suspects, members of a task force of the Third Army, turned themselves in just hours after the police issued warrants for their arrest, according to reports
Thai Army Chief Prayuth Chan-ocha said the nine men maintain their innocence and have denied killing the Chinese sailors.
Chan-ocha said he ordered the men to report to police since they were named suspects so they have a "chance to show their sincerity" and it should not be misinterpreted as an admission of guilt.
He called for justice for his subordinates.
"Ninety percent of my subordinates are good guys. Please don't prejudge them for committing crimes. It's not easy to kill people even if their supervisors ask them to do so," Chan-ocha was quoted as saying by Xinhua, China's official news agency.
Thai Deputy Prime Minister Chalerm Yubamrung, who is in charge of security, said investigators had gathered enough evidence in connection with the gruesome slaughter of the Chinese sailors, some of whom were found blindfolded and handcuffed with their throats slit.
He said there was solid evidence to suggest the two Chinese cargo ships were attacked by weapons fired from the Thai side.
The nine suspects, including a major and a lieutenant from the Third Army Region, which guards Thailand's northern border, allegedly acted on the order of some local tycoons, Thai Police Chief Priewpan Damapong said.
Damapong insisted that the Thai government and the army were not behind the killings. The suspects have been charged on counts of murder and tampering of evidence, Damapong said.
Two cargo ships Huaping and Yu Xing 8 were attacked on Oct. 5 on the Mekong River near the Golden Triangle area, notorious for being a major transit point for drug smuggling.
The police recovered 920,000 methamphetamine pills valued at 100 million baht [$3.2 million] from the two hijacked vessels following the discovery of the bodies of the Chinese sailors floating in the river. The Chinese government on Oct. 13 sent patrol ships to escort 164 sailors aboard 28 ships stranded in Chiang Saen for more than 10 days back to China.
The captain of one of the Chinese patrol ships said he and his crew had not slept in 48 hours to remain on watch during their trip back.
Shortly after the killings, a customs officer estimated the indefinite halt in Thai-Chinese bilateral trade in Chiang Saen will result in losses of about $66 million a month.
Following a meeting of officials from China, Laos, Burma and Thailand in Beijing on Oct. 31, China decided to station up to 1,000 armed officers to patrol the Mekong River as it gears up for the resumption of navigation by its ships.
China has bought five ships which will be refitted for the unprecedented operation, Fang Yougo, general secretary of the Lancang shipowners' association, was quoted by China's Yunnan Information Daily. Lancang is China's name for the stretch of the Mekong River in its territory.
The joint operation by the four countries, he said, will cover only certain sections of the Mekong and Chinese officers will be stationed at key locations.
"They will provide protection to all legal cargoes travelling along the river with the law enforcement authorities of Laos, Thailand and Myanmar," he said.
Early in the investigation, a Thai police official called the leader of a private militia, which has been active on the narrow stretch of the Mekong between Burma and Laos for the past five years, the "prime suspect in both the incidents."

This is cruel. Everyone wants to live their life. They are not afraid of sin.
Do not judge who's right or wrong. We have to look at the facts. Our soldiers worked very hard and we should support them. When being accused, we use courts as the way to find a solution. Let the dead be in peace if they did good things.
They acted without thinking and are just selfish. How do you feel now? You have a full stomach now, but are you happy since you have sinned? (I'm asking those who killed the crew). From Laotian
Reason: officers confiscated 920,000 tablets of methamphetamine worth over 100 million baht.
Damned Thai people, how dare they killed the Chinese people! If the Celestial Empire won't destroy them, it will hurt the feelings of the Chinese people.

Winchester® BlindSideTM Steel Shotshells For MORE trauma - causing power, MORE pellets per shell. SAVE BIG !
Ducks and geese won't know what hit 'em! Game-changing hexahedron-shaped pellets crumple waterfowl with a 6-sided punch that cuts through feathers and keeps going. Unlike round shot, Hex shot focuses energy transfer and concentrates blunt-force trauma with sharp corners and flat sides for massive wound channels and flight-stopping shock.
Space-optimizing Hex shot also provides superior packing density by stacking gap-free in the shot cup. These tight-fitting stacks create room for 15% more pellets in every shell and save space for bigger powder charges, providing more velocity.
Exclusive Diamond-Cut Wad manages pattern density and uniformity with diamond-shaped air-brake petals for improved downrange performance, stretching the kill zone up to 25% beyond the 30" sweet spot. The hinged wad column also increases velocity while reducing peak pressure and perceived recoil. Re-engineered Drylok Super Steel® system provides water-resistant durability. Made in the USA.

Animal welfare is the viewpoint that animals, especially those under human care, should not suffer unnecessarily including where the animal is used for food, work, companionship, or research. This position usually focuses on the morality of human action, or inaction, as opposed to making deeper political or philosophical claims about the status of animals, as is the case for an animal rights viewpoint.
The history of animal welfare has been attributed by some to the time when a systematic concern for the well-being of other animals arose in the Indus Valley Civilization as the religious belief that ancestors return in animal form, and that animals must therefore be treated with the respect due to a human. This belief is exemplified in the existing religion of Jainism and in varieties of other Dharmic religions. Other religions, especially those with roots in the Abrahamic religions, have tended to treat animals as the property of their owners, codifying rules for their care and slaughter intended to limit the distress, pain and fear animals experience under human control.
From the time when in 1822 Richard Martin, a British Member of Parliament, shepherded a bill through Parliament offering protection from cruelty to cattle, horses and sheep, animal welfare has had human morality, and human behaviour, as its central concern. Martin was, in 1824, among the founders of what might be considered the world's first official animal welfare organisation, the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, or SPCA. In 1840, Queen Victoria gave the society her blessing following which it became the existing Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, or RSPCA. When originally established, the society used members' donations to employ a growing network of inspectors, whose job was to identify those who abused animals, gather evidence, and report them to the authorities. Subsequently similar groups and societies sprang up elsewhere in Europe, North America and elsewhere in the world. The Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (SPCA) Fiji was established in 1953.
A number of religious denominations have added animal welfare to their list of concerns. Animal-related ethics courses, animal blessings, prayers for animals and animal ministries have increased in popularity. In 2007, the Interfaith Association of Animal Chaplains was formed to assist clergy members concerned about animals and their welfare to network and share information. A number of Animal Chaplains' books and websites reference scriptural passages from the world's sacred texts supporting animal welfare.
In 1965 the UK government commissioned an investigation into the welfare of intensively farmed animals, partly in response to concerns raised in Ruth Harrison's 1964 book, Animal Machines. On the basis of this report, the government set up the Farm Animal Welfare Advisory Committee, later to become the Animal Welfare Council. The first guidelines recommended that farm animals require freedom to turn around, to groom themselves, to get up, to lie down, and to stretch their limbs'. These have since been elaborated to become known as the Five Freedoms of Animal Welfare:
1. Freedom from thirst, hunger and malnutrition;
2. Freedom from discomfort due to environment;
3. Freedom from pain, injury and disease;
4. Freedom to express normal behaviour for the species; and
5. Freedom from fear and distress.
A distinction can be made between animal welfare and animal rights. The former believes humans have a moral responsibility not to cause cruelty or unnecessary suffering to animals, and advocates for the betterment of the condition of animals, but not the elimination of all animal use. However, animal rights advocates campaign for the total abolition of any use of animals and argue that the animal welfare position is logically inconsistent and ethically unacceptable. Nevertheless, there are some animal rights groups, such as People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA), which support animal welfare measures in the short term to alleviate animal suffering until all animal use is ended.
Some critics argue that, in practice, supporters of animal welfare sometimes demonstrate a form of speciesism' by showing a disproportionate concern for some species of animals over others without providing a rational or scientific justification for such preferences. In this regard they point to the tendency to be more concerned over the welfare of pets or companion animals over that of commercial animals; certain wild animals over domestic animals; or mammals over birds, reptiles or fishes.
Needless to say there will also be those who question why we, the human species, should concern ourselves about animal welfare when there is so much that needs to be done in various aspects of human welfare. Fortunately, when Noah found himself at the door of The Ark, and with the tide rising, he made the wise decision that it did not have to be either humans, or animals, and that it was important, and indeed possible, to take care of the welfare of both.

We want to welcome the creation of an academic centre for the furthering of the case of rights for nonhuman animals worldwide. The Ferrater Mora Oxford Centre for Animal Ethics has been created with the aim of putting nonhuman animals on the intellectual agenda. As its website explains, the Centre is the world's first academy dedicated to the enhancement of the ethical status of animals through academic publication, teaching and research. It will act as an international, independent think tank for the advancement of progressive thought about animals. The Director of the Centre, Oxford theologian, the Revd Professor Andrew Linzey, said when the centre was presented: "There is a strong rational case for animals, which has been recognised over the centuries by academics and philosophers. What is needed is for this rational case to be much better known." He added: "We must strive to ensure animal issues are highlighted and rationally discussed throughout society - we cannot change the world for animals without changing our ideas about them. The Centre will promote ethical attitudes and contribute to informed public debate." The Associate Director of the Centre Professor Priscilla Cohn, Emeritus Professor of Philosophy at Penn State University, said: "It seems to us that academics should take the lead in helping to foster a new kind of debate about animals – one that goes beyond slogans and stereotypes." The Centre is named after the distinguished Spanish Philosopher, José Ferrater Mora, who courageously spoke out against bull-fighting in Spain. More than 100 academics from 10 countries have supported the Centre. You can visit the Centre's website at: www.oxfordanimalethics.com
DENMARK'S Council for Animal Ethics said today there was no need to ban sex with animals unless it took place in pornographic films or sex shows.
Only one of the 10 members of the council, set up by the Danish Justice Ministry to establish and uphold animal ethics, wants bestiality expressly forbidden.
"Then there wouldn't be any doubt about the result," Christian Hansen said.
A Justice Ministry spokesman was not available for comment.
1. The philosophy of animal rights is rational Explanation: It is not rational to discriminate arbitrarily. And discrimination against nonhuman animals is arbitrary. It is wrong to treat weaker human beings, especially those who are lacking in normal human intelligence, as "tools" or "renewable resources" or "models" or "commodities." It cannot be right, therefore, to treat other animals as if they were "tools," "models and the like, if their psychology is as rich as (or richer than) these humans. To think otherwise is irrational. "To describe an animal as a physico-chemical system of extreme complexity is no doubt perfectly correct, except that it misses out on the 'animalness' of the animal." -- E.F. Schumacher 2. The philosophy of animal rights is scientific Explanation: The philosophy of animal rights is respectful of our best science in general and evolutionary biology in particular. The latter teaches that, in Darwin's words, humans differ from many other animals "in degree," not in kind." Questions of line drawing to one side, it is obvious that the animals used in laboratories, raised for food, and hunted for pleasure or trapped for profit, for example, are our psychological kin. This is no fantasy, this is fact, proven by our best science. "There is no fundamental difference between humans and the higher mammals in their mental faculties" -- Charles Darwin 3. The philosophy of animal rights is unprejudiced Explanation: Racists are people who think that the members of their race are superior to the members of other races simply because the former belong to their (the "superior") race. Sexists believe that the members of their sex are superior to the members of the opposite sex simply because the former belong to their (the "superior") sex. Both racism and sexism are paradigms of unsupportable bigotry. There is no "superior" or "inferior" sex or race. Racial and sexual differences are biological, not moral, differences. The same is true of speciesism -- the view that members of the species Homo sapiens are superior to members of every other species simply because human beings belong to one's own (the "superior") species. For there is no "superior" species. To think otherwise is to be no less predjudiced than racists or sexists. "If you can justify killing to eat meat, you can justify the conditions of the ghetto. I cannot justify either one." -- Dick Gregory 4. The philosophy of animal rights is just Explanation: Justice is the highest principle of ethics. We are not to commit or permit injustice so that good may come, not to violate the rights of the few so that the many might benefit. Slavery allowed this. Child labor allowed this. Most examples of social injustice allow this. But not the philosophy of animal rights, whose highest principle is that of justice: No one has a right to benefit as a result of violating another's rights, whether that "other" is a human being or some other animal. "The reasons for legal intervention in favor of children apply not less strongly to the case of those unfortunate slaves -- the (other) animals" - John Stuart Mill 5. The philosophy of animal rights is compassionate Explanation: A full human life demands feelings of empathy and sympathy -- in a word, compassion -- for the victims of injustice -- whether the victims are humans or other animals. The philosophy of animal rights calls for, and its acceptance fosters the growth of, the virtue of compassion. This philosophy is, in Lincoln's workds, "the way of a whole human being." "Compassion in action may be the glorious possibility that could protect our crowded, polluted planet ..." -- Victoria Moran 6. The philosophy of animal rights is unselfish Explanation: The philosophy of animal rights demands a commitment to serve those who are weak and vulnerable -- those who, whether they are humans or other animals, lack the ability to speak for or defend themselves, and who are in need of protection against human greed and callousness. This philosophy requires this commitment, not because it is in our self-interest to give it, but because it is right to do so. This philosophy therefore calls for, and its acceptance fosters the growth of, unselfish service. "We need a moral philosophy in which the concept of love, so rarely mentioned now by philosophers, can once again be made central." -- Iris Murdoch 7. The philosophy of animal rights is individually fulfilling Explanation: All the great traditions in ethics, both secular and religious, emphasize the importance of four things: knowledge, justice, compassion, and autonomy. The philosophy of animal rights is no exception. This philosophy teaches that our choices should be based on knowledge, should be expressive of compassion and justice, and should be freely made. It is not easy to achieve these virtues, or to control the human inclinations toward greed and indifference. But a whole human life is imposssible without them. The philosophy of animal rights both calls for, and its acceptance fosters the growth of, individual self-fulfillment. "Humaneness is not a dead external precept, but a living impulse from within; not self-sacrifice, but self-fulfillment." -- Henry Salt 8. The philosophy of animal rights is socially progressive. Explanation: The greatest impediment to the flourishing of human society is the exploitation of other animals at human hands. This is true in the case of unhealthy diets, of the habitual reliance on the "whole animal model" in science, and of the many other forms animal exploitation takes. And it is no less true of education and advertising, for example, which help deaden the human psyche to the demands of reason, impartiality, compassion, and justice. In all these ways (and more), nations remain profoundly backward because they fail to serve the true interests of their citizens. "The greatness of a nation and its moral progress can be measured by the way its animals are treated." -- Mahatma Gandhi 9. The philosophy of animal rights is environmentally wise. Explanation: The major cause of environmental degradation, including the greenhouse effect, water pollution, and the loss both of arable land and top soil, for example, can be traced to the exploitation of animals. This same pattern exists throughout the broad range of environmental problems, from acid rain and ocean dumping of toxic wastes, to air pollution and the destruction of natural habitat. In all these cases, to act to protect the affected animals (who are, after all, the first to suffer and die from these environmental ills), is to act to protect the earth. "Until we establish a felt sense of kinship between our own species and those fellow mortals who share with us the sun and shadow of life on this agonized planet, there is no hope for other species, there is no hope for the environment, and there is no hope for ourselves." -- Jon Wynne-Tyson 10. The philosophy of animal rights is peace-loving. Explanation: The fundamental demand of the philosophy of animal rights is to treat humans and other animals with respect. To do this requires that we not harm anyone just so that we ourselves or others might benefit. This philosophy therefore is totally opposed to military aggression. It is a philosophy of peace. But it is a philosophy that extends the demand for peace beyond the boundaries of our species. For there is a war being waged, every day, against countless millions of nonhuman animals. To stand truly for peace is to stand firmly against speciesism. It is wishful thinking to believe that there can be "peace in the world" if we fail to bring peace to our dealings with other animals. "If by some miracle in all our struggle the earth is spared from nuclear holocaust, only justice to every living thing will save humankind." -- Alice Walker via: http://www.cultureandanimals.org

There's a big difference.
"I'm not about knocking other DJs for what they do but to me it's two different worlds," says the Frisco turntablist. "What I do and what someone like a trance or techno DJ does are definitely not the same."
It's been a steady struggle for any type of DJ to get respect and recognition, but it's been a lot harder since the advent of the "superstar" spinner, the ego-tripper who plays someone else's record and stands back all impressed like he actually created the music. Such grandiose displays of self-absorbed performance naturally antagonized musicians the world over who found the DJ phenomenon to be nothing but club drugs and hype. For Mix Master Mike, though, this won't be a problem.
"I feel like myself and other scratch artists are paving the way for an entirely new type of music, you know," he says from a hotel room in Minnesota without the slightest hint of conceit. "Nothing like this has been done before, and I'm very excited with what's going on right now. I do what a band would do and that's create music."
Music is a loose description of the sounds Mike's been buzz-sawing from his turntables. A good way to describe his method is to compare it with what literary gangster William Burroughs did to writing back in the late 1950s, which is to say take the basics and then tear them apart the way a Doberman rips through raw meat. Mike is a self-described "scratch traffic coordinator," a pioneer for the turntable movement in which DJs like himself and fellow Bay Area resident Q-Bert deconstruct vinyl until what was becomes something else entirely. Pop lingo calls it turntablism, but the sound invokes nothing less than DJ guerrilla warfare.
Mike grew up in San Francisco, and along with access to an uncle's extensive record collection he was directly influenced by the cut-up style of DJing that was all the rage at California house parties. Mike and Q-Bert went on to do battle in the prestigious DMC contests, a Darwin-like DJ spin-off where only the strong survive. The two won so often they were asked to step down since no one came close to matching their skills.
"I work mostly with elements," the Mix Master says of his mind-bending compositions, which often take the shifting shape of sci-fi drum and bass on amphetamines. "I use some old vintage breaks and other base material but then I slaughter it. It's not without some structure, a lot of this shit is strategically tied together, believe it or not."
Believe it. While the type of music Mike makes may never be ready for commercial airplay, it did attract the attention of the Beastie Boys -- who recruited Mike to DJ on their 1998 release, Hello Nasty -- and recently grabbed the attention of Guns N' Roses, who asked Mike to help open their current North American tour.
It wasn't too long ago when Mike was still trekking relatively anonymously through the underground club scene with a turntable crew known as Invisibl Skratch Piklz (ISP), a now-defunct clan that elevated scratching to its highest level of popularity. Along with the aforementioned Q-Bert, D-Styles, and various wax mercenaries, the ISP became a subterranean SWAT team forging wax mutilation into a very abstract form of modern art.
"What I like to think I'm doing is using the art of scratching and making the turntable an instrument. A lot of it has to do with manipulating the sounds we're given and to make a new sound from that. Personally I like to make mine more spaced-out and fucked-up in a psychedelic kind of way."
Proof of his ever-expanding finger-stroking can be found all over his latest solo release, Return of the Eye of the Cyklops (Moonshine), a watershed album for the scratch kind in that it was broken up into classical movements and shows how knowledgeable DJs like Mike are becoming.
"This music is starting to grow," he explains. "More crews are starting up, and not just out West either. It's really low-key but I like it that way cause it's still our own type of music."
Scratching is nothing new. Ever since the invention of the turntable, disc, and needle, the ability to stutter-start and stop the spinning vinyl by hand has created sounds never before heard. The technique became a necessary accompaniment to an emcee's verbal flow and thus took the scratching style along for the ride to the top of pop culture. But now comes the true test. As DJs inch closer to headlining their own tours, the pressure is on; critics are waiting with expected skepticism to see whether the scratch thing can equal the rap thing.
"I'm getting much more funky with my sound," Mike says. "Scratching is just something I've always been doing. If people want to come along and label it, fine. But I'll still keep doing it the way I want. I can say this much, my music will always be interesting."
After his work with the Beastie Boys, Mike went off to create Anti-Theft Device in 1999, the EP Eye of the Cyklops in 2000, and his first-ever mix compilation in 2001 called Spin Psycle. All contained his signature slice-and-dice style, but each was rooted deeply in hip-hop. With his new CD the wax-assassin desperately wanted to open new doors.

Alternative Workout Idea: Racewalking
Looking for a competitive outlet but know that you're not the marathon type? You may want to investigate racewalking. Racewalking can be superb for building and maintaining cardiovascular fitness.
In general, it's a lower impact sport than running, since the foot does not pound the racing surface. And racewalking technique tends to work and strengthen certain torso muscles in the hips, abdomen and back.
Racewalking is an appropriate fitness activity for any healthy individual. You don't need to know the best techniques before you start, just get out there and add some gusto to your daily walk. Try to increase your speed every day. And swaying your hips as you walk will smooth out your gait.

Blue Stilton & Porto
Here I moved into a new apartment, my real home! A place where everything remains to be done. It's exciting, i've a lot of ideas but i have to find compromises between desires, what is achievable and … Money! This is the opportunity to stimulate my creativity.I hope to show you all that by 6 months (ahem, yes of course). In the meantime, here are some photos from the series on a dark background, which I wrote about here.
Cheese and me is a true love story - SO Glamour - A meal without a touch of cheese,it's the drama (and I do not even talk about pasta without cheese …!) I'm like that, beaksalty, not really sweet. What joy when I saw that my cheesemonger was selling Blue Stilton!He told me that when he was working in Brighton, every day the chef used to add Porto on Blue Stilton to impregnate and multiply its flavors. An English tradition to adopt quickly, it's delicious!
And you, rather than cheese or dessert?

Astaro Security Linux V4
Astaro Security Linux (ASL) V4 is a nifty all-in-one firewall product. Billed as an affordable enterprise-level security solution, Astaro delivers an impressive array of security features in one package. ASL V4 is a software product, not an appliance, so you need to provide your own hardware for it.
The ASL feature set leaves little to be desired. It uses the journaling features of the ext3 filesystem for rapid recovery from unplanned reboots. All administration is performed from an SSL web front end. It also comes with an SSH server that provides command-line access, a fact that pleases this reviewer. Astaro does state that SSH access is intended only for advanced users, because users would have to edit the configuration files by hand. Still, I was pleased to have the option of getting down and dirty with the system if necessary.
ASL performs packet filtering, just as you'd expect a Linux- and iptables-based system would. Source NAT, destination NAT and IP masquerade are all supported. The default ruleset is quite locked down and is modified automatically when you add or modify services. But ASL adds further value with its use of network groups. ASL has a single set of user interfaces to let you define networks, network group, service groups and user objects. Once defined, ASL lets you use them for all sorts of access control lists (ACLs). For example, once a network group is defined, it can be used when configuring NTP services and defining IP-masquerading rules. Another example can be seen with the predefined service group called netbios, defined as netbios-dgm (port 138), netbios-ns (port 137) and netbios-ssn (port 139). With this group, one can set various rules that consistently affect all three of these services.
As with packet filtering, ASL comes with the various proxy packages we expect. This includes an HTTP cache that can be configured to work transparently to the client, SOCKS proxy and SMTP relay. The SMTP relay includes antispam and virus scanning subsystems. ASL V4 also includes IPSec, DHCP, PPTP, identd, POP3 with virus scanner and DNS forwarding services. Service includes a virus scanning subsystem.
For all the proxies and services that can make use of user accounts, such as SOCKS, HTTP and SMTP, ASL can use your existing LDAP, RADIUS or Windows Domains to provide authentication, or it can use its own user account database. Once identity has been established, access controls can be placed on users to control access to different services.
ASL has a port-scan detection system that sends e-mail to an administrator when it detects port-scan activity. It also can be configured to drop or reject the port-scan traffic. Interestingly, the source of the port-scan traffic is allowed to communicate again after the port-scan traffic has ceased.
Astaro has incorporated an automatic update function into ASL, called Up2Date. (It isn't clear what relation, if any, this software has with Red Hat's up2date update tool.) All patches are signed digitally, and all communications are encrypted. Besides patches, virus and spam signatures also are updated with this mechanism. Updates can be made manually—scheduled hourly, daily or weekly—or can be downloaded by hand from Astaro's FTP server. System configuration backups can be exported either manually or automatically. These backups can be encrypted and e-mailed.
ASL offers load balancing, using iptables NAT rules to split incoming connections between two or more actual servers. ASL seems to be protocol-agnostic; that is, it performs load balancing for any service protocol. Naturally, it remains for system administrators to ensure that the servers sharing the load are able to synchronize themselves if necessary.
Even the user guide has value beyond explaining how to use ASL. It provides a short but accurate tutorial of the various technologies involved in network security. For example, it discusses transparent vs. application proxies, and it contrasts them to IP masquerading.
ASL really has too many features to discuss fully in this review, including syslog support, wireless LAN access point mode, WEP support, the capability to plug in to an untagged port of a VLANed switch (why this can be beneficial could be the subject of a whole other article), a network time protocol client, high availability and quality of service.
You can configure the system logs for authorization, dæmons, kernel, notifications and SMTP relay messages to be logged independently.
Astaro recommends a minimum system configuration of a single Intel Pentium II (or equivalent) processor, 128MB of RAM, an 8GB disk drive (ASL supports IDE and many popular SCSI cards) and two or more PCI network cards. If you wish to use wireless network PCMCIA cards, you should use one based on the Prism2 chipset. Certain other configurations, such as high availability or the VLAN subsystems, may require other specialized hardware.
The installation happens with a text/curses-based menu and is fairly quick and simple. It asks a few questions and then proceeds to repartition and reformat the hard drive, so be sure you're ready to let that happen.
Once installed, you point a web browser at a secure web GUI. The best adjective to describe the look of ASL's web GUI is slick; it is well designed and has some impressive functions. One function allows you to kick off other administrators, with the option of providing them a reason for the boot. Logged-in sessions have an automatic timeout as well. There's easy access to the system's uptime, last login, date and time.
ASL has a nice iptables/firewall display, with GUI interfaces to add your own rules, and easy-to-understand ICMP settings, including options to make firewall visible to traceroute, make firewall forward traceroute, make firewall ping visible and make firewall forward pings and so on. This reviewer was most impressed with the live log of filtered packets, whose regularly updating display shows recent network activity. The only thing this display lacks is some way to know which firewall rule caused a packet to be denied. Such information is essential for rule debugging.
ASL's slickness extends to the SMTP GUI and its options for access control and many ways to try to fight spam, such as verify address, black holes, file type filter and expression filter. If you've ever tried to configure sendmail, you know what a daunting task this can be.
Besides configuration, the web GUI also contains a number of graphs. The graphs plot statistics for CPU, RAM and swap; current hard-disk usage and process list; total network connections; and each network interface for the past 24 hours.
ASL has a few other remarkable features. The first is the IPSec interface has a certificate management option. It can generate or upload its own Certificate Authority (CA), and it can receive and even fulfill requests for new client certificates. If your organization does not have a certificate authority, ASL can provide its own CA key material. Remember, a whole slew of policies and procedures should be defined before one could consider one's CA actually to be secure.
An ASL machine beeps five times at boot and shutdown, letting you know its status with certainty. Most of the system services run in a chroot()ed environment. Some even have their own disk partition, which helps to prevent disruption of other services that might otherwise result from a denial-of-service attack on one service. The administrator can install custom software. ASL could be a nice starting point for your own Linux-based projects.
ASL is not a typical home-use broadband firewall-router. It certainly can be used for that, but because ASL can do so much more than DHCP and IP masquerading (or NAT, if you prefer), typical home use would be a waste of its features. Out of the box it requires some setup, but if you already know you need more than a typical broadband firewall-router appliance, chances are you already know how to achieve this. ASL would make a good home-use firewall-router for the network-savvy power user, someone comfortable with or interested in learning the ins and outs of SMTP configuration, SSH keys, RADIUS configuration and/or IPSec. So it's fortuitous that Astaro provides a free home-use license, which does not include the antivirus protection.
I do have a few minor reservations about ASL V4. I admit that ASL impressed me with the sheer number of features it supports. It is common security policy to limit the functional responsibilities of each infrastructure node on your network. For instance, a router should stick to routing, a firewall should stick to packet filtering, a proxy server should stick to application protocol proxies and an SMTP relay should stick to e-mail. The justification is that a separation of functions limits the overall damage should any one service suffer a security exploit. With everything in one box, ASL might encourage an all-in-one approach. On the other hand, such a configuration may be desired if there are cost, space or administration constraints or, simply, if the risks aren't as high. Indeed, there's no reason one couldn't install ASL on numerous machines and turn on only certain services in each node. But this illustrates another potential problem. Aside from the ability to export and import configurations, there is no apparent support for a single point of administration for multiple ASL nodes. In other words, there's no policy manager that can push configurations to multiple ASLs.
At installation time, you receive a 30-day license, after which you need to purchase a full license. At the time of this writing, prices range from $390 US for a ten-IP network and a one-year Up2Date subscription to $6,895 US for unlimited IPs with three years of Up2Date. Virus protection, high availability and surf protection are priced separately. Astaro has a free personal use license, and this reviewer intends to take advantage of it.

As Linux continues to play an ever increasing role in corporate data centers and institutions, ensuring the integrity and protection of these systems must be a priority. With 60% of the world's websites and an increasing share of organization's mission-critical workloads running on Linux, failing to stop malware and other advanced threats on Linux can increasingly impact an organization's reputation and bottom line.

Most companies incorporate backup procedures for critical data, which can be restored quickly if a loss occurs. However, fewer companies are prepared for catastrophic system failures, in which they lose all data, the entire operating system, applications, settings, patches and more, reducing their system(s) to "bare metal." After all, before data can be restored to a system, there must be a system to restore it to.
In this one hour webinar, learn how to enhance your existing backup strategies for better disaster recovery preparedness using Storix System Backup Administrator (SBAdmin), a highly flexible bare-metal recovery solution for UNIX and Linux systems.

Autumn is in full "bloom" in the Alleghenies! Day one of the Choose-Your-Adventure Sweepstakes featured a tour of State College, Pa., a neat college town, before an afternoon hike on Tussey Mountain, where moss, ferns, and waxy-leaf mountain laurels framed a rocky trail leading to a ridgeline. Winners Andy and Pam Wright of Hudson, Wis., along with Stephen Regenold of GearJunkie.com, followed local Appalachian Outdoors guides from a trailhead under gray clouds toward the miles-long horizontal summit ridge of Tussey Mountain. On top, the sun came out. Views dropped left and right as the crew hiked the knife-edge for the afternoon. A few photos from the day below.
Stay Tuned: Tomorrow the "Choose-Your-Alleghenies-Adventure" trip goes fly-fishing with the Spruce Creek Fly Co.!

Last year someone said you could check if you had a place, using the payment link. Provided you hadn't donated your entry fee.
Has anyone heard of such a thing?
I agree it looks silly, especially on something we are as comfortable with as eggs.
I'm just not sure it's ludicrous application, rather a failsafe labelling mechanism. If the product contains egg it gets the appropriate allergen label, no need for any assessment or decision making, therefore no possibility of missing anything.
You can either call it fear of litigation or fear of harming customers, but if it works for them!
On his current racing frequency, I reckon Samir has probably got one go at it. No pressure then!
The name egg isn't reserved for just for actual eggs.
Personally, I'd rather companies apply labelling 'just in case' rather than second guess where that information is of value. Besides, it's probably just how 'their' labelling process works, insert product name here, weight, ingredients, contains allergens etc., there is probably very little link to 'what' the actual product is.
Scott, I think GFA for London closes toward the end of June and Championship even later, so Samir still has time to legitimately claim a place.
It's strugglers like me who need to rely on the ballot!
parkrun for me next week, so we'll see if those intervals have been helping in my 5K times.

- Review from Nordstrom
I have 3 other pairs of Zella leggings, all of which are the "Live In" style - these ones seem to have the same fit but are substantially longer than their "Live In" capris - good for working out in cooler weather! I'm 5'2" and they hit about 2 inches over my ankle. The mesh on the sides is a fun detail. Love these.
- Review from Nordstrom
great capri
This capri/legging is a great value. I have shopped at Lululemon in the past and have found that their prices have gone through the roof. These are a good quality pant that I'm sure will withstand the test of time. I'm a personal trainer and wear this stuff all the time.
- Review from Nordstrom
best workout pants
These are the most flattering capris I have ever owned. They don't fall down, they wick sweat, and the quality is fantastic.I will be ordering another pair of the exact same capris--they are amazing!
- Review from Nordstrom
Perfect workout pants!
I recently notice that a few of the pairs of Lululemon leggings I have have the sheerness problem if I were to bend over in the gym - not the best! So I've been searching for another pair that are similar in style and fit. These are absolutely perfect! I really love the dark gray color. The pants fit just like my Lululemon leggings. I wear a 2 in Lululemon and bought the XS in these. I have a pair of Zella's fleece-lined leggings, and they are slightly big, so I was nervous about these, but they ended up being great. I will be buying many pairs of these - plus they're a great price!
- Review from Nordstrom
cute legs
Nearly every pair of my workout bottoms are Zella. I have preferred them for years because they maintain their shape and the waist is snug and stays put. This pair of leggings has a slightly looser waist for the same size as I always buy - which was a little disappointing. However, the gray mesh insert on the bottom of the leg openings is a nice detail.

Aaron Rome Hit on Nathan Horton
Ridiculous hit by Vancouver Canucks' Aaron Rome on Boston Bruins forward Nathan Horton.
Game misconduct was issued to Rome immediately - wouldn't be surprised if he gets suspended too. Horton was carted off with what I'm sure is whiplash and a concussion.

Blast Applications (BLAP) Making a Run
Early this morning I received an alert to check out a relatively new penny stock, Blast Applications (BLAP). I should have investigated the alert a little further but I was rushed for work and pushed it aside to review later. Later, as it turned out, was after the market closed for the day…and it was a good day for BLAP.
After an explosive day on the market Blast Applications closed at $0.0529 gaining a whopping 245% from the previous day's close. Whoops, I missed a great entry point on this penny stock! As it turns out this massive gain comes following last Fridays new announcement that Blast Applications was accepted into the coveted Apple iPhone Developer Program to develop applications for sale on the Apple iTunes App Store. Blast Applications CEO, Dino Luzzi, recently stated:
"With nearly 2.4 billion dollars worth of applications sold for smart phones, the market potential is enormous. Having the ability to sell our applications through Apple's iTunes App Store is a huge step towards that market."
I couldn't agree more. I don't have an Apple iPhone but I do have an Apple iTouch which is also an amazing device with thousands of useful applications. Right now I use a slick ETRADE application to monitor my stocks when I'm running through airports or on the road. And here's something else for you…Steve Jobs recently announced:
"The rate of App Store downloads continues to accelerate with users downloading a staggering two billion apps in just over a year, including more than half a billion apps this quarter alone."
Wow. The demand for quality applications is staggering so I think it's safe to say Blast Applications is well poised to profit from a piece of the market.
Tweexchange.com is the fastest and easiest way to search Twitter Usernames and Internet Domain Names at the same time. Tweexchange.com also unveiled a new integration with GoDaddy, the world's largest domain name registrar. Through the Domain Name search, users can Backorder and Register Domains using GoDaddy. If a name is taken and is currently listed for sale on Sedo.com, members can also try to purchase names through the site using the Sedo API.
As a domain investor I think this a very progressive concept for overall brand recognition. Every business would naturally want to match their Twitter account name to their domain name but with over 50 million users on Twitter you may be out of luck. Tweexchange.com assists web developers and business owners towards acquiring the best domain name for their website. Nowadays a matching Twitter account with your domain name could significantly increase the resale value of your web real estate. Cross-referencing Twitter and GoDaddy with Tweexchange.com also enables their members, for a fee, to be notified when Twitter Usernames and Internet domain names become available from being in a suspended state.
With these facts in mind and looking at the great support levels for BLAP I decided to order 27,450 shares of BLAP. I'm really NOT a regular investor in penny stocks but I feel this particular stock, along with bankrupt CITGQ.PK, offer excellent profit potential.
I'll keep you posted. God bless!

GyPSy Guide is the perfect tour guide for your driving holiday in western Canada. You can install it into any vehicle by simply attaching it to the windshield and then just start driving. It is easy to use, very entertaining and since it always knows where you are, you can just relax and enjoy the commentary as it automatically plays at just the right time.
- GPS guide
- Easy to install
- Detailed built-in tour commentary
What You Can Expect
Just because you want to drive yourself on vacation through the Canadian Rockies and around British Columbia, it doesn't mean that you miss out on learning about what you are seeing and be able to enjoy it even more. If bus tours don't suit you and you like doing the driving, then renting a GyPSy Guide is the answer.
GyPSy Guide allows you to travel at your own pace, visit the places you want to see. The tour commentary has been built by a team of accredited, professional tour guides so you will learn much more than a single tour guide would be able to share with you. Think of it as a local friend, who will share interesting stories and entertain you along the way.
GyPSy Guide tells shares interesting facts and stories with you about the things you see as they come into view. The guide is filled with great activity suggestions, history, explorers, hidden viewpoints, photo opportunities and quirky tales you won't hear anywhere else!
GyPSy Guide has an extensive range of popular, self-drive touring routes across British Columbia and Alberta, including the Rocky Mountains, Banff, Calgary, Vancouver, Victoria, and the routes connecting them.
Reserve your GyPSy Guide rental today and get the most enjoyment from your visit to Western Canada.
Please note: to reserve 1 GyPSy guide, simply select 1 adult. Only 1 GyPSy guide per vehicle is needed.
The GyPSy Guide is a small device (PDA) that rides along with you in your vehicle and transmits through the vehicle's stereo. As you drive through an area of interest, the device automatically plays an audio commentary specific to that location.
The commentary is an entertaining mix of interesting stories, facts and figures, history, geopgraphy, directions and Canadiana, all recorded by professional tour guides. And the best thing is, the commentary starts and stops by itself because the device always knows where you are! You can leave the vehicle for a hike, lunch or rest break and it will start up automatically at the next point.
The technology is sophisticated but simple to use. Once its attached and turned on, there is nothing else for you to do - other than enjoy the commentary and entertainment as you take in the spectacular scenery and points of interest.
How do I get the GyPSy Guide into my vehicle?
The device attaches to the windshield of any vehicle. It has a cord you can plug into a cigarette lighter to ensure that the device has sufficient power, but it can run for hours on its own batteries. It is attached to the windshield so it has a clear view to overhead satellites, using a suction cup that leaves no evidence or damage of any kind.
Can I use it in a rental car?
Yes. Because the device has no effect on the vehicle and causes no damage, it can be used in any vehicle - your own or a rental. You can attach it to any type of windshield including cars, SUVs, minivans, or RV's.
I'm not very good with computers. Can I still use the GyPSy Guide?
That is one of the great things about GyPSy Guide. After you attach it to your windshield, all you have to do is turn it on. Using the GPS, the device always knows where you are and automatically plays a commentary relevant to your location.
What if I go off the suggested route?
It's okay if you leave the route for which there is content. You can rejoin the route later. You don't have to follow the route in any specific order. If you miss a major turn, you may be asked if you meant to miss that turn. That's the beauty of the system. You can go off on your own side trips and then return to the tour.
Is it safe to use while driving?
Yes. Most of the files are audio, so you can concentrate on the road without any need to look at the device. It requires no more concentration than listening to a radio. If there is a visual presentation for an area, the device will advise you to pull into a viewpoint or safe point on the side of the road. At which time you will be able to activate the slideshow or video, without being in a dangerous position.
Is it available in languages other than English?
Tours can be heard in English or German.
But I have a guidebook already?
Yes, but with the GyPSy Guide you don't have to look at the book while you are traveling. Everything happens automatically. You don't have to guess or assume you are looking at the right thing because the device lets you know when it's the right time to notice a point of interest.

It took a little while to get used to working with this device. Once you learned how to use it; it was well worth the course. Tape was informative and guided you to sites you should not miss. Staff were helpful and friendly.

If you have a car and want to see the rockies, this is the best thing you can do! It was incredibly easy to set up and didn't take long before it started giving me informaton about where I was and it gives information not only about the history of the rockies mountains, the first travellers and people who lived there but also good hints about views to scenic places to stop. The staff where I picked it up from were very friendly and checked I know how to do everything before I left them with the guide. A big tip, there are about 4 or 5 tours that take anywhere from half a day to a full day so if you want to see all of the rockies get this for a few days, it'll be the best thing that you rent.!
