Herbal Answer Stick SPF 15 lacks sufficient UVA-protecting ingredients, so this isn't the answer for daytime sun protection. It is otherwise a standard ChapStick-style lip balm that contains a smattering of natural (not herbal) ingredients.
Combines effective protection with the moisturizing and soothing effects of natural herbal extracts. It's the herbal way to care for your lips.
Active: Octinoxate (7.5%), Oxybenzone (2.5%), Petrolatum (43%), Other: Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Extract, Beeswax, Butyrospermum Parkii (Shea Butter) Fruit, Cetyl Alcohol, Chamomilla Recutita (Matricaria) Flower Extract, Flavor, Helianthus Annuus (Sunflower) Seed Oil, Isopropyl Lanolate, Lanolin, Methylparaben, Microcrystalline Wax, Ozokerite, Paraffin, Persea Gratissma (Avocado) Oil, Phenyl Trimethicone, Propylparaben, Simmondsia Chinensis (Jojoba) Seed Oil
Blistex At-A-Glance
Strengths: Includes complete ingredients for all of its products on the company Web site; a couple of lip balms with excellent UVA protection and above-average formulas.
Weaknesses: The majority of lip balms with sunscreen lack sufficient UVA-protecting ingredients, leaving lips vulnerable to sun damage; many contain irritants such as menthol or camphor.
How this small but longstanding line of lip products has achieved the status of being the solution for cold sores or chapped lips eludes me! Most of these lip products contain enough irritating ingredients to chap anyone's lips. Lots of lip products claim to be medicated, but "medicated" is a dubious term at best, with no regulated meaning.
The way Blistex and a handful of other companies define medicated, it means using camphor, menthol, or phenol in their formulations, yet none of these are in any way, shape, or form "medicines" or "treatments" for dry lips. Quite the contrary, they make dry skin worse and can cause irritation. Products like Blistex can include 0.5% phenol, a potent disinfectant, that is strong enough to actually trigger some serious problems, the least of which are dryness and irritation. It is not something I would recommend for anything but extremely limited use because repeated application can keep your lips chapped forever.
Blistex beckons to you to "discover what your lips are missing," but with few exceptions your lips aren't missing anything with these products except the irritation or inadequate sun protection they provide—definitely an instance where missing something is a good thing! One more thing: Press materials and Blistex's Web site mention dermatologist Dr. Charles Zugerman as an advisor to the company. Yet for a dermatologist whose special interests include allergic contact dermatitis to endorse lip products with known irritants is puzzling to say the least. And if Dr. Zugerman knows about the need for sufficient UVA protection and the ingredients it takes to achieve that, he's not sharing that knowledge on a consistent basis with Blistex. This is just another example of how a dermatologist's endorsement may create an impression of professional credibility, which can be different from speaking to the efficacy or safety of the products themselves.

John or Brookyln - off topic advise rqstd
I have to replace a couple of gates and will be doing a bunch of paver work around the area at the same time. The gates allow access into the back yard. The opening is ~12foot. I currently have two 6' gates that do not work. My question is what size posts/footings do you recommend. They need to be the main support pieces and I am concerned with them sagging, rotting over time and looking nice. We have sandy soil. Overkill is okay but I am concerned with replacing them down the road (10+ years or more I hope) Any recommendation?
I would go steel posts Steve. 3'' glav # 40 set 3' down in creet.
If the look is not what you want fasten pt to them,I use 1/4''hex head fasteners made to conect wood to steel, then wrap the posts with redwood or some South American with some kind of fancy post cap. J.

NACUBO and Commonfund Institute Launch the 2010 NCSE Survey
September 17, 2010
The second annual NACUBO-Commonfund Study of Endowments (NCSE) was launched in September. The NCSE is the combined study of higher education endowments. Previously, both organizations conducted separate studies of educational endowments' investment performance, asset allocation, and governance.. Information about the 2010 NCSE was sent to institutional representatives at roughly 1,300 colleges and universities in the United States and Canada.
To find to find the name of your institution's NCSE representative, or to get more information about the survey, please contact Ken Redd, NACUBO staff. Results of the 2010 NCSE will be released at the 2011 NACUBO Endowment Forum in New York City.

In the Europe of 27 sanctions and laws cannot apply to all simultaneously. What if it was Malta and not Greece in trouble? Would Germany or France or the UK accept a strict financial policy? Although it has the advantage of claiming democracy and equality, economic equality in Europe comes through exceptions and differentiating measures for each member. To put it simply, it's unfair and irrational to have one single economic measure for the eurozone, be it sanctions or regulations.

As much I would suspect the Economist to influence opinions, as much I would bet on independant journalists (experts in finance) credibility, facts can be crossed

"... one of the FEW foreign investors who survive..."
"The best answer to all this nonsense is for Central Europeans to stick together and seek as much as possible joint cooperation with Northern Europeans, the Germans and Scandinavians are quite good to work with. The rest are a waste of time."
Since Italy represents the number 1 or 2 investor in the Czech Republic, I presume you would like us to disinvest. Keep in mind please that we are listening to your arguments...
Actually, my friends in various ministries in Prague have told me that Italian investment there is frequently "invisible" - being registered in the name of a Czech wife, for example - and exactly for that reason, quite welcome. Not to mention that we Italians are some of the foreign investors who manage to survive amidst the various Russian mafias operating in the country.
Really, you might want to tone down your Bohemian arrogance a bit. I agree the architecture and buildings we Italians left behind in the Czech Republic from 1400-1860 make yours one of the most beautiful countries in the world, but it isn't always necessary to advertise your Balkan nationalist influence...

"I wonder why you keep repeating that we shouldn't trust experts, but rather what you say, you aren't a model for clarity, as you always try to blur Germany's disguised agenda, much surprising as you pretend to not be German !"
Trusting "experts"? You must be joking . . . especially those paid by investment firms?
I didn't lose in the subprime mortgage crisis because I did NOT trust those deceptive "experts". If their advice would be of any relevance "for the masses", everybody would become wealthier; instead everybody became poorer. Only a few clever ones gained, those who didn't follow their "advice" and those who instigated it. This fact should be so obvious that even somebody with less IQ than you can understand the mechanisms behind.
The 'by-investment-firms-paid-media-outlets' like Seeking Alpha or risk.net are partly there to drive everybody "filling the troughs" so that the clever "drivers" behind these maneuvers can empty it "in a sudden action" for their own profits . . . while the dumb "trough-fillers" lose everything, the few instigators make billions virtually "over night". This is how casino capitalism works, my Dear.
All the sources you mentioned are PR instruments of the ones which finance these "instruments", even the rating agencies are part of this game (to a lesser extent though).
Just an example:
"Your" Seeking Alpha writers tried to lure investors into Lehman ETN debt notes, launched in 2006, as late as February 20, 2008, when I and others were already "fully" aware (as far as this was possible) of the troubles investment houses like Lehman were in . . . just by using my brains and comparing their asset holdings with the risk in the bloated US mortgage market.
ETN debts even bare a higher risk than ordinary title-backed mortgage notes. This is because if the underwriting bank goes bankrupt, you lose out. Overweighted with risky mortgage loans, Lehman looked to me like a shaky candidate even tho the ("corrupted") rating agencies rated Lehman still triple 'A' then.
I foresaw Lehman's problems just by using pure logic: Unless another firm (or the government) steps in to make good on the promises of these notes and other debts notes this would logically happen; or these notes will be otherwise excluded in case of a bankruptcy filing . . . Exactly this first scenario happened only seven months later, as we know now.
The Seeking Alpha editorial (republished also in other similar PR publications) was in my opinion such a "driving-naïve-investors-to-the-toxic-through", since with an ETN, you don't own any share in physical assets. All you own is a promise from the underwriting bank.
Any naïve investor buying such a Lehman debt note back then became unwillingly a creditor of Lehman, just like many folks holding other forms of Lehman debt. The likelihood that noteholders would receive full value for their shares in a (then already possible) liquidation was close to zero . . . And these "promoters" from Seeking Alpha must have known this back then as much as I did.
So, don't be naïve Marie Claude.
Ze fox,
as usual you are making of the "Pole plumber" a french specificity for discrimminating the eastern republics work force (partly due to the anglo-saxon press coverage), but do you know that Germany, Luxemburg... shared the same restrictions ? imagine that Poles, (or whatever people)came to concurrent our enterprises (mainly in building) with prices that are practiced in Poland... with no social charges like our enterprises have to pay (France, Germany, Luxemburg...) because they were sent "in mission" from Poland... this was considered as a unfair deal by our working class. There were conflicts, until a EU decision happened, Poles enterprises... had to pay social charges in the country where they were entitled to work. Now, there isn't problem anymore, some Poles, Czechs are officially hired in our shipyards as plumbers at a qualified french salary !
Also, the opportunity is that I'm aware of the nuclear industry, since my customers are mainly nuclear ingeneers and technicians.
"a legacy of 40 years of state subsidies"
But how did USSR build your nuclear reactors shells (that have the cigarettes paper thickness), if not state subsidied too. You will hardly find a private investor to take such a heavy investment that doesn't bring short term money, this is why, for such a industry, States are the best guaranty for a bank. Though this is only the modus for construction, exploitation is half-private and or private, I pay my electricity to a private company.
"fortunately they are weakening and have lost most of the tenders in the last few years"
you are misinformed, China, 10 unities (some are already built, th rest in construction and or in project) UK 4 EPR projected (cf Cameron last trip in France), US, 2 constructions, Southern Africa... OK we lost the Emirates project for a Korean's, our infrastructures were too heavy and thust too costful for what they needed. Areva is working on smaler design that are more relevant for small countries.
Considering the temper you're showing on board, I can imagine what kind of relartions you had with the french ingeneers
I tell you a secret, in your dream with a alliance with Germany, you'll have to pint at the unemployment agency, since the Greens that will probaly replace Merkel coalition are ANTI_NUCLEAR, or may-be oncle Vlad will need you in Siberia !
The complaint by West Europeans particularly the French of the perceived unfair advantage due to the pursuit of cheap labour in central Europe is wearisome; they seem to have forgotten the whole concept of purchasing power parity, a measure of the real degree of advancement of an economy. I'm a nuclear engineer, an area where the French are still dominant for the time being, a legacy of 40 years of state subsidies, fortunately they are weakening and have lost most of the tenders in the last few years. I have grown increasingly impatient with these people which I am unfortunate enough to have to frequent professionally. However, I'll drop the argument at this point and I would enjoin those of us harking from more eastern climes to remember "Hloupost a pýcha na jednom dřevě rostou / глупость и чванство неразлучны" The best answer to all this nonsense is for Central Europeans to stick together and seek as much as possible joint cooperation with Northern Europeans, the Germans and Scandinavians are quite good to work with. The rest are a waste of time. And the Econmist is always a good read bar the occasional rant. I'll stop mine here.

"The Truth About Germany's Banks"
It appears to me that Germany's politicians are up to their necks in the cover up of the true state of the banks. Getting serious about cleaning up the banks balance sheets would have meant admitting the financial crisis was not all the fault of Anglo Saxon bankers. The price that Germany and Europe as a whole pays for this disingenuousness is likely to be another full-blown banking crisis. Only this time it will be Chancellor Angela Merkel and her colleagues that end up being cast as the villains.
Instead of owning up to the failures of Germany's regulators, Merkel and her Christian Democrat/Social Democrat coalition government have played a wicked game of deceit with German voters. Rather than admitting that German banks are more heavily leveraged and have more exposure to toxic debt than American ones, Germany pulled a veil over their banks' operations – at the very time that America set about increasing transparency. And they continue to protect the banks from effective regulation.
This is, of course why Merkel panicked in June and was willing to throw more good taxpayers money after bad, bailing out Greece. One of the biggest holders is Germany's now publicly owned Hypo Real Estate, a mortgage bank seeking to shift $262.5 billion of impaired assets into a public "bad bank" or Erste Abwicklungs Anstalt.
Germany's excuse? Bafin and the Bundesbank said local law meant they could not force banks to publish such details..."
and I have plenty more like that in store
I wonder why you keep repeating that we shouldn't trust experts, but rather what you say, you aren't a model for clarity, as you always try to blur Germany's disguised agenda, much surprising as you pretend to not be German !

- This is the best joke of the year."
I still tend to believe that the existence of the EU has a lot to do with responsibility and leaning from the past, at least in the case of Germany. There would be not much reason otherwise, since the German industries dominate the European markets anyway . . . more or less since the turn of the last century ("The Other Reason for WW I"). - Logic applied, for modern Germany it would be a good deal "cleverer" to pick and choose its "partners" by more prudent standards.
To your RBC citation: The "German Landesbanks" are fully publicly owned and are controlled by the respective state governments which are in 'changing coalitions'. It is very unlikely that all parties, including the Greens and the Commis (Linke), form a conspiracy to hide the facts. This might be possible in Greece (where something like this obviously happened) but not in Germany where usually a Certified Public Accountant audits the Landesbanks and answer to the state parliaments.
If the RBC speculation would be true, it would have been already a public turmoil in German state parliaments; as it happened e.g. in the case of Bayrische Landesbank in April 2008 over its exposure to the US sub-prime crisis, which has cost German bank Bayerische Landesbank (BayernLB) a total of 4.3bn euros in writedowns.
I rather tend to believe that investment banks like "Royal Bank of Canada Europe Limited" are heavily invested in the European bond markets, e.g. RBC in Ireland, and that they are now loud whistling through the graveyard. When talking "mighty Germany" onto the same walk, the graveyard might be less scary for them and for their own risk-burdened investors.
Sorry MC, "I'm burned and I have learned". There is absolutely no reason for anybody with brains to believe in speculations of "representatives" of banks with strong self-interests. Why in the world should an intelligent person believe in their self- interests feeding statements more than in his own analysis?
The very same is true for biased networks like risk.net, who helped to "burn" ten thousands of "naïve" European investors in the US subprime mortgage crisis. Lol.
I thought that you are less naïve, Marie Claude.
ze fox, you didn't understand, it's not about cost of living, it's about how big enterprises that invest in peripherical countries, aren't making a bad business !
but as far as french average enterprises workers wages, you can add €500 to yours !
I regret to inform your French readers that average wages at ŠKODA have now reached 1000€ a month. When you account for the fact that the cost of living in Plzeň in the czech republic is roughly half that around Renault factories, Czech workers actually live quite well and are close to parity with their French colleagues in terms of purchasing power.
The huddled masses are not in Plzeň, they are to be found in the french suburbs filled with north african immigrants scrounging a meagre living at the edges of French society. Meanwhile the ever-enterprising French are currently filling the streets asking for a free ride because the banksters got one...and you can always import some ex-colonial coolie to do you dirty work whilst you sit back and sip your pastis. This is the real reason why France is heading to the wall: de-industrialisation is home bred: industry accounts for 11% of jobs in France. It has nothing to do with evil foriegners stealing French jobs with pitiful wages. It has all to do with complacency and arragonce which are the hallmarks of French society.
Darion, you're too young to have known the beginning of the alliance, Vive_Chimie gave you a idea of why.
"Is that the reason that VW was building the SEAT factories in Spain? or SKODA in the East?"
That is away to penetrate spanish and eastern countries markets, also to have cars manufactured as a lower cost becuz of workers' lower wages in these countries, and these cars can come back into the mother land and still be sold with a surpluse benefit, it's why a few years ago some preferred to buy cars directly in Spain, thus sparing about 20% of the cost (equivalent to VAT)
In any case, it isn't a charity business !
Idem for submarines manufactured in Greece, I'm sure that Germany sold quite few of them to other countries, but at a german price !
To Darion X:
You asked Marie Claude about her statement "because the EU was me(a)nt to be a alliance of complementary countries".
It has often been said that part of the original justification (in the 1950s) of the foundation of the Common Market was an alliance between French agriculture and German manufacturing. It seems to me that that was a rationalization that could be sold to public opinion in both countries. Sorry to those in Italy and the Benelux if your public opinion was treated as less important than those in Germany/France (but I guess that you are used to that by now ...)
But I completely share your scepticism about the statement as formulated by MC. A pragmatic way of persuading public opinion is not the same as a philosophical foundation.
### Marie Claude
** because the EU was ment to be a alliance of complementary countries ! **
Marie Claude,
hmm, can you tell me where you learned this? That is new to me, never heard that nations are been parted be production means.
Is that the reason that VW was building the SEAT factories in Spain? or SKODA in the East?
Or best example that Thyssen Krupp was overtaking a greece shipyard to build the U212 A there. by many be declared the most advanced/modern submarine on this planet.
The problem is not that the EU was not been meant as a conglomaration of complementary countries.
The problem for the rest is that we have a hundred years of development in that area and that we struck to the ways of thinking and doing we developed over a millenium of years.
But where did you got the information that something like that existed.
Darion X (Germany)
"But it's moral reasons that hold the Germans back from opting for this solution."
the best joke of the year
"Germany's substantial financial contribution to a PIIGS bailout may be less benevolent than it seems.
Its banks were stung by sub-prime during the U.S. financial crisis, and are being oddly quiet about their financial exposure to European nations such as Greece, Spain, and Portugal.
For example, RBC Capital Markets believes that German Landesbankes have only disclosed 25% of their actual exposure to troubled European periphery nations. This compares to 70% disclosure by French banks, according to the firm.
While the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) estimates that German banks' exposure to Greece amounts to just 0.5% of their total assets, if you add exposure to Spain and Portugal then the number to run north of 10%, or $330.4 billion according to Risk.net.
For even a moderately leveraged bank, with say 10-1 leverage, having 10% of assets at risk of default is pretty serious. Given that some banks will have more or less exposure, we can easily imagine how the more highly exposed German banks would be insolvent if multiple PIIGS nations were to default.
"German bank balance sheets were already in trouble due to their subprime-related assets. If, on top of that, you get a hit on the sovereign debt on bank balance sheets, that could pose a problem for sure. How serious that would be, or how the government would deal with it is very uncertain. It's a clear risk," says Felix Hüfner, a senior OECD economist.
Jeremy Beckwidth of Kleinwort Benson concurs, saying via Risk.net: "It's clear that German institutions have very large exposures to Mediterranean government bonds. But I don't think they can afford to give you more transparency and disclosure because the numbers would terrify everybody."

schadefreude is surely not MY comrade, lol.
The Greek debts (and thus the risk for the German and French taxpayers - and others) are at 360 billion euros, while the combined loans to Greece from German banks is around 35 billion euros. Economically it doesn't make sense to risk further 360 billion in order to secure 35 billion euros.
It would be much cheaper for the German taxpayer to compensate German banks for those 35 billion euros and let Greece go. But it's moral reasons that hold the Germans back from opting for this solution.
"this would cause" - not "this would course"
Why don't they manufacture the same (or better) merchandises?
because the EU was ment to be a alliance of complementary countries !
Why doesn't the rest of the world manufacture the same (or better) merchandises? the US ?
delocalisation to China, soon China will sell the same marchandises like Germany !
" but the possible bail-outs exceed this advantage by far, at least in my opinion . . . and in the opinion of your friend schadefreude."
NO the Bailing out, if you'd read the good papers, was for the german and french banks ! that is that your comrad Schadefreude keeps on repeating !

Air Compressor for Painting furniture - suggestions?
(cross post with Home Decorating)
I can't wait to get started painting some furniture and baskets this spring. I thought I was going to have to manage with out an air compessor, but DH told me today that he wants to purchase one for other reasons anyway. So, I would like to get one that will help with the painting I am planning. Anyone have a suggestion as to what kind or any specs to get? I am clueless and I am going to start researching now, but thought you might have some suggestions.
The specs for the compressor depend on your sprayer. Most sprayers don't take that much pressure, but you may need a bigger volume so the compressor is not running.
I use Dh's big compressor for my big sprayer that I use on exterior things - it is not practicle to use in the house. The big compressor is 220 and would be difficult to get in the house, though we do run the hose through the window for using the nail guns inside if we are doing a lot of nailing.
I have a small compressor (110) with a special regulator and filter for the airbrush. This one has seen a lot of duty because it is so much more portable than the big one. However it has a hard time keeping up some of our equipment, so we spend time waiting for it to pump back up.
This small unit would not be able to keep up with my big paint sprayer.
I would get the biggest compressor that will work for the portablity you need. You can always turn down the pressure if you need it lower. That way if your DH decides he wants to use it for something that takes more power (like an air ratchet or a larger impulse driver) he'll have the power he needs.
I purchased a HVLP sprayer ealier this year, but it turns out it would not handle latex paint. That type of unit does not need a seperate compressor. It had great reviews for spray on finishes, and I mistakenly assumed that it would work as it did not specifically say it would NOT work with latex.
It depends on the other reasons. If he is going to run some smaller nailers, etc. and will be getting a smaller compressor, that won't help you much and I would look at an inexpensive HVLP system like this:

eBay, Sotheby's unveil tie-up on art auctions (Update)
Highbrow art house Sotheby's is opening a door to the masses in an alliance with Internet age online marketplace eBay.
Highbrow art house Sotheby's is opening a door to the masses in an alliance with Internet age online marketplace eBay.
The U.S. Marshals Service said Thursday it will auction roughly $18 million in bitcoins seized last fall from Silk Road, a website that was effectively the eBay of illegal drugs.
US online giant eBay said Thursday the number of users potentially affected by a massive data breach could be as many as 145 million.
US online giant eBay said Wednesday cyberattackers broke into its database containing customer passwords and other personal data in what could be one of the biggest breaches of its kind.
The Justice Department on Thursday settled a lawsuit against eBay that accused the company of anticompetitive practices in the recruitment and hiring of skilled employees.
EBay recorded a loss in the first-quarter due to a hefty tax charge on foreign earnings, but revenue jumped as more customers shopped at its e-commerce site and its PayPal payments business stayed strong.
Online retail giant eBay said Thursday it had reached a deal with activist investor Carl Icahn, who had demanded a spinoff of the payment division PayPal.
After earning his Ph.D. in economics in 2012, Matt Backus took a somewhat unusual postdoctoral position. Instead of heading off to the ivy-covered walls of a university, he joined other academics at eBay Research Labs.
EBay accused Wall Street activist Carl Icahn of playing with the truth Wednesday as it defended itself against a fresh assault on the company's directors.
Corporate raider Carl Icahn took aim at eBay Monday, calling it to hive off payments unit PayPal while blasting its directors for conflicts of interest and its CEO as "asleep".
EBay is reporting higher earnings and revenue for the last three months of 2013, driven by a strong holiday season for its e-commerce site and PayPal.
EBay said Wednesday that activist investor Carl Icahn had taken a stake in the online retailer and was seeking a spinoff of its PayPal financial payments unit.
Businesses spend billions to reach customers through online advertising but just how effective are paid search ads? Using data from eBay, economist Steven Tadelis at UC Berkeley's Haas School of Business compared whether ...
Cosmetics giant L'Oreal and online auctioneer eBay buried the hatchet on Wednesday after more than six years of court battles over the sale of counterfeit goods, a joint statement said.
Researchers have looked at why anonymous traders using eBay auction sites bother to give feedback on one another, given such transactions are usually one-offs.

Abbas, Mashaal, Qatar's Emir Sheikh Hamad 390.
(photo credit:REUTERS)
Israel and the Palestinian Authority leadership in Ramallah agree on one thing:
Qatar's Emir Hamad bin Thani should not be visiting the Gaza Strip on
Tuesday.PA officials expressed fear that the visit of the emir would
bolster Hamas's standing not only among Palestinians, but also in the Arab,
Islamic and international arenas.This would be the first visit by a head
of state to the Gaza Strip since Hamas drove the PA out in 2007. The PA has
since been working hard to convince Arab and Islamic countries to boycott Hamas
for carrying out a "violent and bloody coup" in the Gaza Strip. But the visit of
the Qatari leader to the territory could mark the beginning of the end of
Hamas's isolation.The visit sends a message to the rest of the world
that the Hamas regime is a legitimate government and that the Gaza Strip is an
independent political and geographic entity.PA President Mahmoud Abbas's
absence in receiving the emir is seen as a severe blow to his claim that he is
the legitimate and elected leader of the Palestinians.Abbas was not
invited to receive the emir upon his arrival in the Gaza Strip, leaving the task
to Hamas Prime Minister Ismail Haniyeh. The PA's biggest fear is that the visit
would solidify the split between the West Bank and Gaza Strip – creating the
impression that the Palestinians already have two separate states.Israel
is also unhappy with the visit, and the message it sends."It is quite
strange that the emir of Qatar should choose sides within the Palestinian camp,
and choose the wrong side while he is at it," Foreign Ministry spokesman Yigal
Palmor said."What this visit means is that he sides with Hamas, and not
with the PA, which he never visited," Palmor added.Palmor said Israel
hoped the emir would provide support "only to those Palestinians who do not
promote violence and extremists, though some skepticism is
allowed."Another government official noted that with a few notable
exceptions – such as Russia and Turkey – the international community has
accepted the three conditions articulated by former UN secretary-general Kofi
Annan for engagement with Hamas: that the organization forswears terrorism,
recognizes Israel and accepts previous Palestinian agreements with
Israel."We urge the international community to abide by those
benchmarks," the official said.Noting that missiles and rockets from
Gaza continue to fall on Israel, he added that the idea that Hamas was playing a
more positive role "is baloney."The emir phoned Abbas on Sunday to
"notify" him of the planned visit to the Gaza Strip.However, he did not
invite Abbas to join him and it is highly unlikely that the PA president would
have accepted the invitation. Abbas wants to avoid a situation where he appears
to be arriving in the Gaza Strip as a foreign leader and not as the leader of
the PA.Although Abbas has publicly welcomed the emir's visit, his aides
said that he was "very disappointed."They said that during the phone
conversation, Abbas affirmed the need to "preserve the unity of the Palestinian
territories and end Palestinian divisions."In other words, Abbas expressed fear that the emir's visit
would solidify the split between the West Bank and the Gaza Strip, and embolden
Hamas to a point where it would not be prepared to make any concessions to end
the power struggle with the PA president's Fatah faction.Fatah officials
said that the Hamas government did not invite any of their representatives in
the Gaza Strip to participate in the reception for the Qatari emir.Yehya
Rabah, a top Fatah official, said that the goal of the visit was "unclear,"
adding that the emir did not receive permission from the "legitimate leadership"
of the Palestinians to visit the Gaza Strip."We can't welcome the visit
of the emir and his wife to the Gaza Strip," said political analyst Adel Abdel
Rahman, who is affiliated with Fatah."The visit does not serve the unity
of the Palestinian territories, the people and the political system. On the
contrary, the visit poses a threat to unity and our political
system."Bin Thani is officially visiting Gaza to inaugurate
reconstruction projects worth over $240 million invested by Qatar.Abdel
Rahman said that Qatar's investment plan was also "unwelcome." He added that the
plan was actually aimed at deepening divisions among the Palestinians,
especially because it was not being coordinated with the PA leadership in the
West Bank. The analyst claimed that the emir's visit would only serve Israel's
interest of separating the Gaza Strip from the West Bank.Azzam al-Ahmed,
a senior Fatah official closely associated with Abbas, also voiced concern that
the emir's visit would consolidate divisions among the Palestinians.He
said that Fatah believes that the emir should have coordinated his visit with
the PA leadership in the West Bank.

Why paddleboarding reminds me of business ownership…
For me, owning my business is like paddleboarding, my favorite sport. First, you have to have a plan of where you are going, be able to act quickly, think ahead, be balanced, and have endurance to be successful and stay passionate about what you do. Some days the water is smooth, perfect, you don't want to leave the ocean, then there are days when a strong wind or a storm kick's in and rocks the board – sometimes you fall off and struggle to get back on, and paddle home. And then, there are sharks… there are always sharks in the water, you need to always be aware, on the lookout, and prepared for an encounter with one or more of them.

I enjoy sharing our city with others and enjoy making people feel comfortable and special. I will do my best to make your stay comfortable and worry free.
Karen purchased this house in 2011
I chose this location because of the historic nature of this area of Colorado Springs. I also own and operate my 'honeymoon' French Parisian cottage nearby on the same street. Building began in the area in the late 1800's but most along this historic street are early 1900's. This house was built in 1914.
It is just a few blocks to the I-25 corridor and is minutes from the city center. You can get virtually anywhere in the city within 20 minutes from this location.

It is minutes from Colorado College, downtown, Penrose Hospital, UCCS and Garden of the Gods. It is a short 8-10 minute drive to the AFA.
I have lived in Colorado Springs for over 30 years and know the area quite well so I can give you concierge service or advice in any area you need.

Tons of attention to detail went into the renovation. The walls have a Venetian plaster that was hand troweled. Painted with the warm Tuscan colors of golds, sienna and greens.
Home is very enveloping and warm with perfectly placed lighting and Italian themed chandeliers. The kitchen was finished with top of the line stainless steel appliances and granite counter tops. Enjoy all the accouterments the kitchen is stocked with.

Special requests are taken for any thing you are looking for or need help with. We are here to make sure your vacation stay is filled with memories as beautiful and majestic as the city is itself.
We really enjoyed staying at your home. Under the circumstances of our son and brother's sudden death, the cozy home gave us a gathering place of comfort and refuge. The dining room table was great to sit at and share memories, spread out the things we need to fill out and share meals with our extended family.
We will never forget your hospitality, the items you had for breakfast so we didn't have to rush around the next morning was really appreciated. The cottage helped to bring us closer together in our time of sorrow and helped to make things more beautiful.
It is our intention to try and return each year to spend time as family with Robert's two boys.
Thank you for your everything.
Enjoyed staying at this quaint cozy cottage. The stay was perfect for and comfortable for our family gathering. The house had all the amenities for every guest needs. The space was plenty and the front porch perfect to sit on and view the beautiful mountain scenery. Definitely will be staying here again.
Arrived and felt right at home. Every consideration was thought through for the out of town guests, even a large washer and dryer; and no cheap hair dryer in the bath room, very nice. The linens were 5 star quality, we felt so pampered! Had family members with us the first couple of nights and were NOT cramped for space. The kitchen had all the necessary items for making meals, refrigerator had ice maker and filtered water dispenser. The guest cottage is centrally located in Colorado Springs and we had no problem getting to Glen Eyrie, Garden of the gods, Focus on the Family, and great shopping on N.Academy Blvd. Karen gave some recommendations to some amazing restaurants! My favorite was a 'hole in the wall' place around the corner that served the cheesiest lasagna I have ever had! Unlike a hotel, it was located in a quiet neighborhood, making it a nice place just to relax. A real 'get away'!
Wonderful property with an excellent location. The arrangements were handled professionally and Karen went out of her way to make sure we felt welcome. I also appreciated the attention to detail. The home was impeccable, the decorations were very nice, and we really felt comfortable. The location was also very nice - very easy to get to old colorado, downtown, garden of the gods and restaurants. Don't hesitate to reserve -you'll be treated professionally and will feel very much at home!
Wanting a fun weekend to unwind, I booked this wonderful house and was so glad that I did! While close to downtown restaurants and shops, I felt secluded in luxury and pampered at the house. Clean, well appointed, and decorated without missing a detail. Plus ample room inside and out, I would return without hesitation!
The home was lovely. I was very impressed with the cleanliness and the decorating. I felt so at home. Everything I needed was in the kitchen. The amenities were outstanding. I've stayed in other rentals and they didn't hold a candle to this one. I was inspired to decorate my own house after staying here. I loved having the washer and dryer in the basement. I didn't want to leave it was so beautiful. I would love to come back in the summer to enjoy the gorgeous yard. Karen was very nice and friendly in her communications. She made me feel very welcome. It was evident she loves welcoming guests into her home.
My friend and I were originally supposed to stay at Karen's other property only one block away. There was a last minute issue and Karen was gracious enough to put us up in her bigger home at no additional cost. Our stay was perfect. This home is located on a road with easy access to any attractions you would want to visit during your stay in Colorado Springs. There were numerous running trails around the area too that were beautiful and conveniently located.
The inside of Karen's home was clean and up-to-date. The instructions that she left were clear and very helpful.
I look forward to coming back to Colorado Springs in the future and staying at Karen's properties again. I could not have asked for a better stay!
