Exotique Blends is a skin care line that offers "natural skin care" geared toward women and kids. This brand claims to incorporate the finest ingredients into their skin treatments, and to also provide "quality" skin care at "affordable" prices. Shea Butter is one of the major ingredients found in Exotique Blends. Shea butter is a common skin care substance that comes from Karite trees in West Africa. Exotique Blends offers categories like Creams, Soaps, Bath & Spa, Scrubs and Polishes, Lotions, Bath & Spa for Kids and Crème de la Crème of Soaps. There doesn't appear to be any customer testimonials posted on the official website. Unfortunately no free trial samples of Exotique Blends products are offered at this time. Background information on the company is not provided.
The primary active ingredient offered in Exotique Blends skin treatments, Shea Butter, aims to assist users with scars, acne blemishes, fine lines, eczema, skin discolorations, psoriasis, rashes, wrinkles, stretch marks, sun damage, dry skin and overall radiance. The official Exotique Blends website additionally claims that Shea Butter aids with afflictions like sore muscles, arthritis and swelling. There doesn't appear to be any 100% money-back/satisfaction guarantee offered with Exotique Blends products. Full product ingredient lists are not available on the official website. Exotique Blends skin treatments are supposed to be suitable for women of all ages and skin types. All products are available via the website.
Product Details
Exotique Blends is a brand of skin treatments marketed toward women of all ages and skin types. These topical products endeavor to help with scars, swelling, acne blemishes, fine lines, eczema, skin discolorations, psoriasis, rashes, wrinkles, muscle aches, stretch marks, arthritis, sun damage, dry skin and "overall radiance." Any and all Exotique Blends products can be purchased through the official website. There don't appear to be any clinical studies presented on the website to help support the overall effectiveness of Exotique Blends treatments and this, combined with a lack of posted ingredient lists, makes us a bit hesitant.
The Good
- All Exotique Blends products can be easily and conveniently purchased on the official website.
- Exotique Blends skin treatments contain all-natural ingredients.
- Exotique Blends products contains some moisturizers, such as Shea Butter.
The Bad
- There is no 100% money-back/satisfaction guarantee posted on the official website for Exotique Blends.
- There doesn't appear to be any real clinical data provided on the website to support the effectiveness of Exotique Blends treatments.
- Full product ingredient lists are absent from the official website.
- There aren't any customer testimonials presented on the website.
- No free trial samples of Exotique Blends products are available at this time.
- Some ingredients found in Exotique Blends may be irritating for some complexions.
- There isn't any company background information offered on the official website.
The Bottom Line
Exotique Blends comes across as a fairly unique and interesting skin care product line. On the bright side, their products are claimed to be made from natural ingredients, and Shea Butter, a natural moisturizer, is incorporated throughout the product line. However, it would be reassuring for some individuals to see a few customer testimonials posted on the official website, along with a 100% satisfaction guarantee, free trial samples of Exotique Blends products, full ingredient lists and some substantial clinical evidence to support the effectiveness of Exotique Blends. While these products may be affordable, it's still good to know what goes into them.

By EMILY WAGSTER PETTUS
Associated Press
JACKSON (AP) — Mississippi Gov. Haley Barbour's wife says the thought of his running for president "horrifies me" because it would be "a huge sacrifice for a family to make."
"It's been a lot to be first lady of the state of Mississippi and this would be 50 times bigger," Marsha Barbour told south Mississippi's WLOX-TV on Thursday.
She's not the first member of the Barbour family to express reservations about the governor's possible run for the Republican nomination. One of the Barbours' adult sons, Sterling, told a magazine editor in an email two weeks ago that he's a private person and he hopes his father doesn't run for president.
Barbour's wife and son both say they'll support him if he enters the race. Barbour, 63, has said he may announce his intentions this month.
Jim Dyke, a spokesman for the governor, told The Associated Press on Friday that Marsha Barbour was saying what everyone knows about campaigns.
"There are unique demands posed by the daunting challenge of campaigning for and serving as president of the United States," Dyke said.
Barbour, in his second term as governor, has appeared in Iowa, Nevada, South Carolina and other states with early presidential caucuses or primaries.
Marsha Barbour has kept a relatively low profile as the governor's wife, aside from her help with Hurricane Katrina recovery. She spent several weeks on the Gulf Coast after Katrina struck in August 2005, communicating with Barbour's staff about neighborhoods in need of food and other necessities.
She said a presidential campaign could take two years, and there would be another eight-year commitment if her husband wins two terms. That, she said, would take 10 years from "the last part our productive lives."
"It horrifies me," she said. "It's a very overwhelming task and he's going out and doing some things just to see if he gets that fire in his belly. If he's not passionate about it, there's no reason for him to run."
Haley and Marsha Barbour have been married since December 1971. They have two grown sons and four grandchildren.
Marsha Barbour said she's praying about her husband's decision.
"If God and Haley decide to do it, I'm sure God will give me strength to be a good partner," she said.

Somalia's most powerful militant group, al-Shabaab has vowed more war against the country's new government which they called "weak government", Radio Garowe reports.
"The new government have no ability to defeat us compare to the previous once led by Sharma'arke, all are from the Diaspora who don't know more about Somali politics and they joined our enemies," said top Al-shabaab official Sheikh Hussein Ali Fidow.
Sheikh Hussein urged to attack Somali pro-government bases and many other places within days to come until Somali recognized Islamic country.
"Our mission is to make Somalia an Islam country--to apply Shari'a Law--so that we connect with other Islamic world," said Hussein adding al-Shabaab was the one who carried out the twin suicide bombing in the Ugandan capital of Kampala on Sunday night -- killing 74, many as they watched the World Cup final, that was first suicide outside the country.
AMISOM troops, comprised of Ugandan and Burundian soldiers, are deployed in the war-torn country as part of the internationally backed efforts to stabilize the Horn of African country which has been in turmoil for an entire generation.
Currently, the AU peacekeeping contingent, whose main contributors are Uganda and Burundi, has about 7,200 troops on the ground --- and are struggling to overcome Al Shabaab, a self-declared Al Qaeda affiliate.
The Horn of Africa country has had no effective central government for 19 years and the UN-endorsed TFG administration in Mogadishu under President Sharif Sheikh Ahmed is facing a relentless insurgency.

PHOENIX—Southwest Kidney Institute will use athenahealth Inc.'s full suite of services, which includes Web-based practice management help, electronic health records (EHR), and patient communication services.
The company said the move will help Southwest Kidney Institute's "50 medical providers streamline operational procedures and to support improved communications with patients that will enable the delivery of better, more coordinated patient care."
Southwest Kidney Institute's dialysis centers and programs are designed to deliver dialysis services and education to patients with chronic kidney failure and end-stage renal disease.
It will adopt athenaCommunicator, a patient cycle management tool designed to manage patient interactions triggered by practice staff or by automated routines within athenaNet, athenahealth's Web-based platform.
"This will present the group with expanded accessibility for patients after-hours and on weekends, improved self-pay revenue stream, re-captured staff and physician time, reduced no-shows, as well as elimination of expensive paper-based mailing campaigns," according to athenahealth.
In January of 2008, Southwest Kidney Institute partnered with DaVita with the intention of allowing the company to focus more on patient care.
athenahealth also announced a partnership with DaVita in March 2010 to market its services to nephrologists across the country.
"When we decided it was time to upgrade our practice management capabilities and current EHR system, we researched a number of companies in the market. After seeing how athenahealth is able to harness the power of the Internet into a flexible solution that meets a number of our needs, we looked no further," said Pam Young, chief administrative officer for Southwest Kidney Institute. "athenahealth is able to offer us services to support our practice from a billing and health record standpoint, as well as the ability to better communicate with our patients 24/7. We believe this will greatly improve the level of care and attention we can provide to our many patients. Knowing that we have a trusted business partner in athenahealth improves our ability to focus on what matters most: patient care."

Car rental in Sweden in 2013 saw players addressing niche demands as a means of growth. Hertz, for example, launched a number of car rental packages during the year to appeal to specific consumer niches, such as Hertz Supercars, Hertz Family Collection, and Hertz Fun Collection. Hertz Family Collection, for example, targets families by offering consumers a fleet of spacious cars with high safety credentials.
Industry Prospects
Car rental intermediaries will post the strongest value growth over the forecast period at 24%. However, this growth is from a very low base value in the total context of car rental in Sweden, with car rental intermediaries' share of value sales expected to remain less than 1%. Of greater note is the expected increase

Ale Houses of Whitwick
Over the years there have been up to a staggering 38 hostelries serving ale in Whitwick, of these 13 have now been demolished, 9 converted to other uses and 16 are still trading. Below is just a flavour of this drinking heaven!
The Boot Inn
Above: A view down Silver Street clearly shows the Boot Inn, the adjacent 3 storey house was occupied by George Greasley for many years who narrowly survivied the Whitwick Colliery Disaster. The large house on the right of the road was called "Kingscroft". Built in 1888 as a private residence for Dr Lambert Houghton. Kingscroft opened in 1896 as the Whitwick and Thringstone Conservative Club and was later renamed the Whitwick Constitutional Club around 1925.
The Boot Inn was opened in 1836 by a local shoemaker (hence the name) and traded as a public house until 1913.
Crown and Cushion (South Street)
Above: A view from the railway bridge, the Crown and Cushion can just about be distinguished by the large advertising hoarding. The Railway Hotel can be seen on the right and was built in 1882 to coincide with the opening of the Charnwood Forest Railway.
The Crown and Cushion closed in 1923 and was demolished in the 70's. One landlord was Mick Noon a defender who made 82 appearances for Aston Villa between March 1899 and May 1906.
The Duke of Newcastle Hotel
Standing on the oposite side of the road, and also bearing a flag mast, can be seen the Liberal Club (known today as the North Street Working Mens' Club). Right in the distance, on the same side as the Duke, the New Inn can be discerned as the last visible building, standing just beyond the turn into Brooks Lane, on the corner of Talbot Street. (Photograph by permission of the Coalville 150 Group)
Demolished in recent years, the Duke stood almost opposite the North Street Working Mens' Club. The site is now occupied by part of a small housing development named, "Pare's Close". Landlords of the Duke of Newcastle included: Robert Brownsword (1877); John Parker (1880); Mary Clarke (1884); George Holloway (1886); Robert Smith (1886); James Eadie (1886); Henry Smith Hancott (1902); James Albert Waterfield (1916); Joseph Massey (1925); Henry Morris (1928); Arthur Richards (1941)
The Forest Rock Hotel
Above: Scene probably snapped during the 1940s and today.
(Photograph by permission of the Coalville 150 Group)
One of the oldest hostelries in the area, the Forest Rock became a very popular halt from the 1860's onwards with visitors to Charnwood Forest and the nearby monastery of Mount Saint Bernard. During the 1880s, the Inn also had its own cricket team, 'Whitwick Forest Rock'.
In 1892, the landlord, Mr Swift, advertised the hostelry's tariffs as being; 1/6 for a meat tea, 2/- for a bed and 1/6 for breakfast.
Landlords of the Forest Rock have included: George Draycott (1854); Edward Hood (1877/1881); Joseph Swift (1892); Arthur Edwin Pollard (1904); George Bramwell (1913); Walter Edward James (1913); John Crewe (1925); Fred Hanson (1928); William Plackett (1941)
The Three Horseshoes (Polly Burtons)
Above: A quiet scene inside Polly's.
Named after its Post War Landlady Polly Burton's is situated on Leicester Road and is now a Grade II listed building. The pub was recognised by the Department of Culture, Media and Sport as "a remarkably complete survival of a rare two-room working mans' public house of the later Nineteenth Century". It has previously featured in CAMRA's National Inventory of Pub Interiors of Outstanding Historic Interest (2003).
The White Horse Inn
Left: Then - In the background can be seen the Crown and Cushion, and beyond this one can also make out the suspended inn sign of the Waggon and Horses. (Photograph by permission of Coalville 150 Group) Right: Now - Both the Crown and Cushion and the Waggon and Horses have been demolished.
The White Horse was originally a farm dwelling and probably dates dack to the eighteenth century. Landlords of the White Horse have included: Elijah Burton (1881); Amos Bloomfield (1884); Richard Swinfen (1891); Elizabeth Swinfen (1895); Frank Middleton (1916/1928); Cyril Jordan (1941); Syd Plackett (1947).
Frank Middleton was an ex Derby County (1901-1906 68 Apps) and Leicester Fosse (1906-1909) player. Another footballing landlord was Syd Plackett who played for Derby County between 1922 and 1927 as a left-half before taking over the White Horse.
The Castle Inn
A photograph of a winter's day scene taken on 30 December 1961 after a heavy snow fall. The van is parked near the Castle Inn and on the right is the Castle Garage breakdown lorry.
The Hermitage Hotel
Situated on Hermitage Road it opened in 1905 and closed in 1967 due to mining subsistence. it was demolished in 1968 and a private house built on the site.
The Man within Compass (Rag 'n' Mop)
Taken in the 1920's the photograph shows landlord John William Warrington, his wife matilda and son Sidney.

The head of Afghanistan's High Peace Council, former President Burhanuddin Rabbani, who had been tasked with trying to negotiate a political end to the war, was killed at his home on Tuesday, a senior police officer said.
His residence is in Kabul's heavily guarded diplomatic enclave, and the attack came just a week after a 20-hour siege at the edge of the area sometimes known as the "green zone".
"Rabbani has been martyred," Mohammed Zahir, head of the Criminal Investigation Department of the Kabul Police, told Reuters. He had no further details.
A police source said Masoom Stanekzai, a senior adviser to President Hamid Karzai, was badly injured in the attack.
"Masoom Stanekzai is alive but badly wounded," the police source, who asked not to be named as he is not authorized to talk to the media, told Reuters.
Rabbani, a former leader of a powerful mujahideen party during the Soviet occupation of Afghanistan in the 1980s, was chosen by Karzai to head the High Peace Council last October.
His plan included offering amnesties and jobs to Taliban foot soldiers and asylum in third countries to leaders.
"This is a big blow to peace process and huge loss for Afghanistan," said Sadiqa Balkhi, a member of peace council.
"Professor Rabbani was an influential and spiritual leader and was successful in luring Taliban fighters into peace process."
Rabbani served as president in the 1990s when mujahideen factions waged war for control of the country after the Soviet withdrawal.
The assassination comes a week after a 20-hour gun and grenade attack that on Kabul's diplomatic enclave by insurgents, and three suicide bomb attacks on other parts of the city—together the longest-lasting and most wide-ranging assault on the city.
Last week's siege was the third major attack on the Afghan capital since June and included three suicide bombing in other parts of the city. At least five policemen and 11 civilians were killed.
All three of those attacks are believed to be the work of the Haqqani network, a Taliban-allied insurgent faction, based along the Afghanistan-Pakistan border.

Is cigarette smoke a water pollutant?
A recent study published in Environmental Science & Technology suggests that tap water may be contaminated by cigarette smoke.
A group of researchers, including academics from the University of Alberta and water system experts from the Metropolitan Water District of Southern California, looked at tobacco-specific nitrosamines (TSNAs), which are thought to be found in water. These are present in cigarette smoke and have been proved to be carcinogenic. In their study, researchers suggested that TSNAs were also "a new class of disinfection byproducts," meaning that they could be discovered in water after they have been formed during the disinfection process.
RELATED: Latest rules for monitoring unregulated contaminants now in force
For their study, researchers sampled water from seven drinking water treatment plants and two wastewater treatment plants, testing for the presence of five different TSNAs. They simulated water disinfection through treating water with ammonia and chlorine and found that two of the TSNAs appeared in the samples only after treatment, suggesting that they were disinfection byproducts. A third type of TSNA was present before treatment but its levels were much higher after the process.
In conclusion, the researchers stated that there were precursors to the formation of TSNAs in water but it was the water disinfection process that triggered the formation and converted them into TSNAs.

Bancroft Mills is an abandoned mill complex along Brandywine Creek in Wilmington, Delaware, United States. It has been the site of some of the earliest and most famous mills near Wilmington and was the largest and longest running complex along the Brandywine.
Gilpin Mills was opened in 1787 and was the first paper mill in Delaware. This mill was followed by Riddle Mills (1845), and Bancroft Mills, which was opened in 1831 and had an 1895 expansion. In 1930 Bancroft Mills was the single largest cotton finishing works in the world.
The complex was recently owned by Wilmington Piece Dye company which went bankrupt in May 2003. The site was then bought by O'Neill Properties Group, a company specializing in the renovation and revitalization of disused or potentially dangerous parcels of land. Bancroft Mills is scheduled to become a large luxury condominium complex, to be called Rockford Falls. Today the complex stands as a reminder of the significant milling history of the Brandywine Valley.

Midwest Living Review
Having made their mark on the Chicago style scene some years ago, designing couple Beau Kimball, a managing partner at Salvage One, and Nancy Bean, tastemaker for Polo Ralph Lauren and auctioneer Leslie Hindman, chose 10 years ago to reconnect with their rural Illinois roots. They bought a 10-acre Civil War homestead in rural Woodstock, 60 miles northwest of Chicago, converting the barn into a premier garden-antiques and ornamental-architecture showroom called Kimball and Bean. Merchandise comes from markets and small-town shops throughout the Midwest, up to Maine, down to Tennessee and within 100 miles of their McHenry County farm. The white barn's rustic walls serve as dramatic backdrops for beautiful vignettes displaying garden fountains, iron gates, mansion fireplace mantles, chandeliers, massive urns ($650), a 19th-century roof finial ($1,800), plus antique dining room and patio furniture from Europe and North America. "Everything must be real, preserved, handmade, antique or vintage, and have story that started before us," Beau says. Though large, pedigreed pieces are pricey, the creative inspiration the showroom expresses is free and the home accents affordable. Silver serving pieces, blankets, linens, glassware ($10 a glass), handmade Christmas ornaments ($2) and vintage linens can help you achieve the elegant yet comfortable Kimball and Bean look at home. To be sure, the showroom is a year-round design destination (although the showroom is by-appointment-only part of the year), but the annual Home for the Holidays Thanksgiving weekend sales event draws up to 1,000 customers seeking one-of-a-kind, handcrafted seasonal decor.

Arizona Diamondbacks
Gammons quotes Rangers official: 'We got Upton'
Oh the fun that goes on at the Winter Meetings.
MLB Network's Peter Gammons was present and recently tweeted about some of the "fun" surrounding the endless trade rumors about Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder Justin Upton:
If you don't believe the multi-team Upton trade talk, Wednesday night a Rangers official called an Astros officisl and said, "we got Upton."— Peter Gammons (@pgammo) December 7, 2012
Upton has been part of trade rumors for the last three offseasons, and his name has been one of the most talked about at this year's gathering.
Obviously nothing is official at this point and Gammons' tweet could indicate just how close the trade was to going down before the plug was pulled. It could also indicate that the deal is close to consummation.
Thursday, talk of complicated three and four-team deals surfaced with Upton being one of the centerpieces for potential swaps. Other teams that have been rumored in such deals are the Tampa Bay Rays, Cleveland Indians, and of course, the Texas Rangers.
Based on Gammons' tweet, Friday could be an interesting day on the Upton front.

IBEROSTAR Paraíso Del Mar
Our guests reviewsIBEROSTAR Paraíso Del Mar
Joseph Ruggiano says: over 1 year
Had an excellent week!
"The resort and beach was clean. The food was very good. The pools were a bit dirty with natural debris as well as straws from drinks. I think a better effort should be made to skim the pools during non pool hours. That is my only negative. Service was great, people were friendly anf my wife and I will no doubt be back!"Rating: 9,0
Oonagh says: over 1 year
I didn't include in my tripadvisor post, Chefs Alexis and Georgina were wonderful with my gluten allergy, Monica set up the allergy letter for me, Marisol did a great job with the one trip we took this time, phoning to double check on the food for me. I
"This is what I just posted to TripAdvisor. We've just returned from yet another great week at an Iberostar hotel. We've stayed at all but the Grand in Riviera Maya, the Tucan and then in D.R. I really have to wonder (and many other people say the same) where some of the complaints come from. I don't think Iberostar can control the wind, but people complained. Yes, last week was windy some days so the ocean was strong but the sun was still hot, rain (warm) one afternoon and that's all. I am a gourmet chef trained in London and Switzerland, and I have no real problems with the food. No the food is not piping hot many times, but these are either open air restaurants or with a/c. There is a huge selection of food. One day the scrambled eggs were runny at one counter, but they are freshly made in front of you. Ask for the omelette to be well cooked. Smile at people, it's amazing how helpful they are when you are nice to them. And I am gluten intolerant so my selection of food is immediately lessened. Try and remember that guests come from Canada, Europe, Russia and South America as well as America. That's why you see cheeses and cold cuts at every meal. Huge amount of salads at every meal, both plain lettuce and composed salads. Plain chicken, fish, meats but also deep fried shrimp, calamari, fish and meats in sauces. And pizza, pasta, hotdogs, burgers, nachos and freshly made donuts. I had e-mailed in advance saying I was gluten intolerant. I got an immediate positive response, a letter was prepared by the hotel for me to give to chefs who were very helpful. Yes they made some mistakes, but only in not being sure of some of the ingredients or if the food was from an outside supplier. But then they recommended not to eat it. I didn't have any gluten reaction. Some people complain about getting sick. We've NEVER got sick, but then we don't sit and scorch in the sun or drink so much that we pass out (as we heard one female spring breaker laugh about herself), or eat too much. Do take any of your first aid helps with you- I heard one man say he paid $17 for a few headache pills. Doctors are very expensive, hotel lobby shop does carry the usual tums, pepto bismol etc. Complaints about walking - depending on your room you are either going to walk to the beach or walk to the lobby, but with all the food you are probably eating, the walking is good for you. Most reviews tell you how large the grounds are. They are also immaculate and beautiful, lawns raked of leaves, walkways power washed, sand brushed off wooden walkways at the beach. We have never had a dirty room. I saw someone complaining that Iberostar didn't provide hair conditioner. They do provide a combined shampoo/conditoner, but most women would use their own preferred brand. the Star friends work really hard. this year we didn't make it to any of the evening shows, they start at 9.45 pm and with the time difference we had crashed by then. But in the past they were excellent. Plenty of beach activities, I always did the water aerobics , followed by dancing, pool games. the paella on the beach was amazing, I can't eat it because it contains mussels but everyone loved it. Hilarious but very sweet Limbo contest with grandads allowed to cheat and the little ones being teased and getting prizes. But yes, over the last few years there is not so much shrimp, high end etc, but that's the same everywhere. It is still excellent value for money, see if you can get the same price anywhere in America. If you don't like all the children, don't book to come when it is obviously school vacation week. That's what we do, our son was never a brat, but others............... Avoid spring break, noisy drinkers, not the hotel's fault. the drinks are better quality at the lobby or restaurant bars. I asked and was told they are trying to work out a system to improve the drinks at the beach bar, but you always see a long line of people at the pool and beach bars. But yes, I did notice a difference in taste in various bars. Beds in Mexico seem to tend to be harder, but the last few years our room has had the mattress topper. Ask for one if you don't have one. I am going to post on my FB page ' gluten free cooking with oonagh', the gluten free meals I had, most totally normal , naturally gluten free meals so you can see the variety. Watch for my posts and the photos. "Rating: 8,0

Overall experience was a 6
"Overall we did enjoy the Iberostar Paraiso del mar with the exception of the buffet food. Because you are limited to the amount of specialty restaurants that you can enjoy, the buffet is your only other option. Our stay would have been a 10 but because of the quality of the buffet food, including breakfast and lunch, I had to rate this overall as a 6. The breakfast food and lunch offered no variety. Even though the food was under a heat lamp, the pancakes and french toast were always cold. On two occasions I had an omelet, and even though I asked it to be cooked well done (I don't like runny eggs), it was always runny and slimy. When pasta was served at lunch, there was never any parmesean cheese to sprinkle on top of it. I think the buffet needs to be improved greatly before I'll recommend the Iberostar. More variety and fresher looking food is greatly needed. The staff didn't seem to replace food items very quickly either. I wanted some salad (the romaine variety) and every time I went up to look for some...it was almost gone and there wasn't enough to make one serving. The pool area was definitely rated a 10 as well as the friendliness of the staff. Our room I would rate as a 5...I think they need to be updated..very run down looking."Rating: 6,0

Grounds were kept and in inviting
"Everything was great. It was our third time at this property. The house keeping staff is great. Love the towel animals Food was good in buffets. Hamburger and Tacos at the shopping center is a must. Not to mention the crepes. Bartenders were more than generous with the alcohol and Star Friends kept us busy. Loved the Bull Riding "Rating: 10,0

we hope to visit again!!!
"We enjoyed another visit with you and brought the family along! Every one had a good time, even the baby! the hospitality was great, the food excellent, the weather perfect, the beach clean, our room was clean, spacious, and we enjoyed the balcony, however we had a smoking neighbor and we are none smokers! So I would suggest to put all smokers in a housing complex and the none smokers together in another!!!!"Rating: 9,0
Mike says: over 1 year
The food variety and quality was not as good as the Iberostar Tucan.
"The food variety and quality was not as good as the Iberostar Tucan. And it's a shame the guests reserve chairs for the whole day, when they rarely are in them, creating a need to reserve chairs for yourself by 6 AM."Rating: 7,0

"Mmm... that smells, hmm..., said Mrs. Olsen, as she took off her coat and handed it to Leslie. "Vat is she cooking?" whispered Inga.
"All the turkey fixin's, sans gobbler." replied Les.
"I would have brought turkey, with my special herring dressing."
Mr. Olsen rolled his eyes as he walked in carrying a pumpkin pie in his frozen hands. "Aaach, it's a blizzard out there. Good ting we live down the stree, eh, mama?"
"Oh, we have a turkey. He'll be our guest of honor," winked Les.
"Olaf, come in. Come in. Frankie is busy, so I will be your host this evening. Praise the Lord, and pass your coats. What a storm, eh?"
"Every body's so concerned about the storm. We live three houses down the road. It's not like we are in Siberia, Olaf," scolded Mrs. Olsen, as she kept her eye on Jane, whom she knew had a mad crush on her Olaf.
The doorbell rang and since Olaf was between a wife and a hard spot, he quickly opened the door. They stood and stared at the stranger shivering in the cold.
"Hello. I'm Michael from the third ...tree down by the corner Walgreen's. Frankie invited me."
"Well, someone let him in," yelled Frankie as she walked her JW gait towards the new guest, and hugged everyone in line.
"I'm so glad you came, Michael," smiled Frankie. And everyone smiled (Except for two people. One was Les) because they loved to see Frankie smile.
"Well, well, if it ain't the bum from District 9," sneered Bobby Lee Bing.
"That's Doctor Bum to you, Officer 'Bling,'" replied Michael.
Before Bobby Lee could reply, a hand clamped on hes ear. "Mind yer P's and Q's, boy. You are a guest in the MacGillicuddy home. Go stoke the wood in the fireplace! scolded Mrs. Cheri Bing, Bobby Lee's mama.
"Oh, it's gas, Mrs. Bing," said Frankie. "Everyone, just come in and sit. Dinner is nearly ready. Please, sit. Les, put on some Billie, okay?"
"Billie? Sounds like a woman," snickered Mugsy.
"Uh, Frankie, I need to go... said a nervous Les.
"Now? Dinner's almost ready, Les." She grabbed him by the arm and whispered, "Are you leaving because of Michael? I will ki..."
"No, no. I'll explain later." He kissed her forehead and went out into the blizzard.
Frankie tries to hide how upset she is at Les, as she turns to her guests. She smiles and calls everyone to the table. They give thanks for their fortunate lives, for their friends and family, and for their health.
As they raise a toast to the ones who could not join them on this day, Bobby Lee stands up and clinks his glass.
"This is a day to forgive."
"I tink dat's Easter, dear, .... Mrs. Olsen.
Ignoring everyone but Frankie, Bobby Lee says, "I now forgive you for ditching me all those years ago. Time to move on. I don't expect an apology anymor..."
"If you say one more word, Bobby Lee, I will tell everyone here why I ditched you that night. How dare you! At one time I really liked you, but...Oh, just sit down and eat."
"No. I'd really like to know why. Why you..."
"Okay. If that is what you want."
Mugsy and Debbie Downer puller their chairs closer to the table to hear the details.
"You told me you needed to get your wallet out of your car. I waited for you to return and finally went looking for you. I saw you Bobby Lee. You were imitating my walk. I even laughed at that. But then you told your buddies how easy I was. I was devastated. How could you have done that to me, Bobby Lee?" Frankie starts to tear up, then forces herself to stop.
"It was just talk, Frankie," said Bobby Lee, turning red.
No one looked at Bing. All eyes were on the new-comers who stood behind Frankie.
"You said that about my daughter, Bobby Lee? We trusted you to watch her..."
Frankie turned to see Molly, Angus, and an old woman, who was sitting in a hoveround.
Angus was about to reach across the table and grab Bing, when the old lady cackled, and said, "Hello, son."
Everyone turned to see who see was addressing.
"What are you doing here, Mother," asked Michael.
"Well, I'm not here voluntarily. These folks have kidnapped me."
Everyone gasped, except for Michael.
"I'm sure they had good reason. What have you done now?"
"You always were a nosey child. Such a bother, like your father. Well, the father you never met who wasn't your father."
"Whaaaaaattt?" asked the guests in unison.
Frankie didn't know whether to run to hug her parents or walk out of the house.
"What is going on, Ma? asked Frankie.
"Can we all just sit down and start from the beginning," suggested Molly, as she moved to hug Frankie. Frankie stiffly returned the hug and was about to sit down when there came a BANG from the front door. All heads turned to Leslie standing there with a short, hairy man, who was wearing a Hannibal Lechter mask.
"Oh my, Mama, this is better than 'The Good Wife'" observed Mr. Olsen.
"Frankie, meet your nemesis, .... .....
"It's a chimpanzee."
"Yes, it is darlin'." Everyone turned to see Mr. Crock, holding a gun next to Molly's head.
"Hand over the will, Molly. I'll also take those other incriminating papers. In eight days, The Demint Estate will belong to Charlie Chimp, and I am the guardian of the chimp. The house, the money. Everything will be mine!"
"Not so fast, Crock."
Not a sound was made as Sean stood behind Crock with a .........
"Lower the gun, or I will release your own creation." (A turkey with shark teeth)
Mr. Crock's eyes grew wide and his upper lip trembled.
"Looks like we are at a standstill. You release that thing on me, I shoot Molly."
As in all adult drama, no one factors in the cleverness or quick thinking of children. Lily bean didn't take karate lessons for nothing. She aimed her foot in Crock's crotch, kicking him in his jewels, whilst at the same time, smacking the gun up, which unfortunately went off and hit Charlie Chimp right in his.....
Angus jumped on Crock, while Bing pulled out a handy set of cuffs and subdued the wailing Crock.
"Is he dead? he's my ticket to..."
"Shut up, Crock," hissed Bobby Lee.
"I think dinner is over," said Molly.
No one moved.
"I think it only fair we all hear what this is about. Can we at least remove that animal to the porch first," asked Frankie.
Les covered the dead chimp and he and Bing carried out the bundle outside.
"Why is Michael's mother here? Why was she kidnapped, as she claims?"
"She was a nurse who worked with Dr. Marone back in the 60's, when Sean, Sarah, myself, and Crock worked at a missionary in America. It wasn't a missionary as we thought and Sarah found out the truth about Dr. Malone's experiments that involved fertilizing human embryos. Sarah confided in me and asked me to help her in case anything happened to her..."
The old lady cackled and looked at Frankie. "So, this is the other one. Meet your sister, Michael." The old lady laughed as the group sat stunned by her comment.
"What are you talking about, old lady," seethed Michael.
"You are not my son. Your father never came back from supposedly meeting Molly. In fact, that was the night you were born. Don't worry. Your real mama is not dead. She's in a coma, up at the Demint mansion. Isn't she, Molly? Why don't you tell Frankie who her parents really are?"
Frankie looked at Molly and Angus, as they hung their heads and Angus sobbed.
"What is she saying, Molly," cried Frankie.
"Frankie, we love you. it is time to tell you the truth. Sarah is your mother. Sean is your father. I didn't know about Michael, but i see now the resemblance. I promised Sarah I would save the 'sample.' You. You were a frozen embryo. None of us knew what to do. Apparently Marone and Nurse implanted Michael into a host body.
"He was a genius. Never got credit for his work," said the old lady. "John, your surrogate father, never came back. He was supposed to go blackmail Molly. See, I knew there were two specimens. never thought you'd carry her, Molly. I suppose she and Michael are the heirs of the Demint Estate.
"Sarah is still alive..."
"Oh, my head is spinning," said Mr. Olsen. "I thought we vere saving the animals."
"We are, Olaf. And we will continue..."
"What animals?" asked Frankie.
"My creations," wailed Crock. "I trained them. I helped keep that b*#@. aliv..."
Lily Bean kicked him once again, and only Crock's whining filled the room.
"Dr. Demint learned the truth about what happened at the mission, thanks to Crock. I had to go into hiding, but I also had to stay near to keep and eye on Demint and Sarah and save what animals we could after Demint's experiments. But, I also hoped, deep inside, that Demint would find a way to bring Sarah back. Now that Demint is dead, we only had thirty days to find Sarah's will, the one Charlie Chimp stole from me.
Dr. Demint became completely insane and willed Charlie the heir to estate. Crock was going to fire Sean, AKA, Ms. Smith, and have Sarah moved to an assisted living facility. The animals created for Demint's amusement, and the ones used for experiments were to be destroyed. With the help of so many people in Manoomin, we have used the old underground railroad passage, to smuggle animals out to a safe place, to try and care for them. Les has been the transporter. Mr. and Mrs. Olsen, and many, many other wonderful neighbors took in the animals and cared for them, and watched over you. I never knew what had happened between you and Bobby Lee. I remember that night when you came home, crying, and just said you didn't feel well. I should have... We would have never entrusted him to..."
"Seems a lot of people have secrets, here. I can't deal with this right now. I'm going out," cried Frankie.
"Frankie, there's a storm out there," said Les.
"Just leave me alone."
Frankie grabbed her coat and left, carrying with her, anger and confusion.
She sat in the box and tried to comprehend what she had heard. Sarah and Sean were her biological parents. Michael is her brother. Mr. Crock trained a chimp to try and kill her. She shivered and cried and felt completely lost. She heard a tap and Michael crawled in with her. Neither spoke as Michael put his arms around his sister.

The Astrup Company, Cleveland, Ohio –
Currently TriVantage (IFAI Charter Member)
William Jacob Otto Astrup, sail maker, recent immigrant from Denmark and oldest child born into a family of boat builders, opened his own shop in Cleveland in 1876. His wife, Margaret, did the sewing and tended the children. As the days of sailing ships came to an end, Astrup focused more on awnings and tents. In 1889, he was awarded the first of many patents for the awning hardware that he manufactured and sold to other awning companies.
By 1904 he had 23 employees working 10 hour days, six days a week. The Astrup Co. incorporated in 1909, with William J.O. Astrup as president, and his two sons, William E. and Walter C., as general manager and superintendent, respectively.
Over the next 20 years, the company entered the canvas jobbing business, opened its first branch in New York City, and traded in the horses and buggies for trucks. After the death of the founder and his eldest son, Walter C. Astrup took control of the company. Her remained active for 54 more years, and continued the expansion of the company's distribution network and product lines.
The Astrup Company continued to grow and was acquired by Glen Raven, Inc. in 2007. The merger of The Astrup Company and John Boyle & Company Inc. created Tri Vantage, LLC.

Real Housewives of Atlanta
When Does The Real Housewives of Atlanta Return?
Thankfully, Bravo has finally announced that The Real Housewives of Atlanta will return for a fourth season on Sunday, November 6 at 10 p.m. ET — nearly a month later than expected.
We were first introduced to the lovely ladies of Atlanta on October 7, 2008, when the show premiered on Bravo. Ah, the memories. Lisa Wu-Hartwell and DeShawn Snow were still housewives, Sheree Whitfield was a newly single woman, Kim Zolciak had yet to discover her passion for singing and NeNe and Gregg Leakes were a happily married couple.
Fast-forward to July 30, 2009, the debut of the second season. DeShawn was out but music maven Kandi Burruss was in. Season 2 spawned Sheree's infamous "Who gonna check me boo?" as well as her ill-fated fashion line, She by Sheree, while Kandi tried to piece her life back together after her fiancée was killed.
Season 3 graced our televisions on October 4, 2010, and while we were without Lisa, the ladies were joined by model Cynthia Bailey and pregnant lawyer Phaedra Parks. Perhaps the most memorable event of season 3 was the seemingly permanent demise of Kim and NeNe's friendship.
We have no new cast members to look forward to this season, but if the promo is any indication, the ladies haven't forgotten how to bring the drama!

Leo Leiderman, an Israeli economics professor tapped to become governor of the Bank of Israel, has withdrawn his candidacy.
Leiderman on Friday told Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Finance Minister Yair Lapid that he does not want the job "for personal reasons," Israel's Channel 2 reported.
The Prime Minister's Office announced his nomination days after Jacob Frenkel withdrew his candidacy over accusations that he shoplifted at a duty-free shop in Hong Kong.
Leiderman, a professor at Tel Aviv University and former head of its school of economics, is the chief economist for Bank Hapoalim and the former head of the Bank of Israel Research Department, where he worked under Frenkel.
Deputy Governor of the Bank of Israel Karnit Flug resigned Wednesday, following Leiderman's appointment. She has served at the Bank of Israel for 25 years, and has been acting governor since the departure of Stanley Fischer at the end of June.

Think you know all there is to about Al Capone? Maybe not
The Chicago History Museum for "Cocktails and Capone" tonight offers a look at America's most famous Prohibition-era gangster served up with some vintage cocktails.
A particular focus will be on Al Capone's personal life, Sun-Times' Kara Spak explains. Capone's great-niece, Deirdre Marie Capone, wrote "Uncle Al Capone" and will be at the history museum event to offer her take on "Public Enemy No. 1."
"Was Al Capone a mobster? Yes, he was," Deirdre Marie Capone said. "Was Al Capone a monster? He was not."
Deirdre Marie Capone's grandfather was Al Capone's oldest brother. She grew up with the last name Gabriel, but even that was not enough to shield her from the backlash of being a Capone after local Chicago newspapers covered the family gathering following her First Communion.

Cleopatra Cowley-Pendleton was never particularly interested in politics. She viewed the workings of Congress from afar, giving barely a passing thought to the policies being debated in Washington.
Then her 15-year-old daughter, Hadiya Pendleton, was shot to death while seeking shelter from the rain on the way home from school.
"My life has been forever changed because of what someone else did," said Cowley-Pendleton, sitting in her Bronzeville condominium. "I'm not going to be extremely political, but if I can help someone else not go through what we've gone through, then I have to do what I can.
"These are the cards we have been dealt. If these are the shoes I need to walk in, I don't mind walking in them."
Hadiya's slaying on Jan. 29 turned her into a national symbol of gun violence in Chicago. Until then, Cowley-Pendleton thought that if she kept her children busy, paid close attention to where they were and taught them well, there would be no need to worry about Hadiya and her brother, Nathaniel Jr., 10, getting swept away by violence.
"We were just regular parents who were slapped in the face and had our child snatched away from us," she said. "The thought of her not being here because of guns is unfathomable."
Cowley-Pendleton, 37, and Hadiya's father, Nathaniel Pendleton, 42, sat down Wednesday for an exclusive interview with the Tribune, explaining how they have coped as a family in the aftermath of their daughter's slaying.
Along their block, purple ribbons around trees flutter gently in the wind, a simple memorial created by neighbors and friends. Inside their home, there are so many memories of Hadiya, memories that leave Cowley-Pendleton smiling one minute and crying the next.
Until this week, there had been no time to reminisce.
As Hadiya became the poster child for the problems of guns and violence, her parents were busy making sure her funeral was the kind of send-off she once told them she wanted. They were unaware that while they were cloistered inside their home mourning their loss, others were turning their daughter into a symbol.
At the same time, Cowley-Pendleton came to represent the face of grieving mothers left behind when violence claims the lives of innocent children.
"I had no idea it was going like that," Cowley-Pendleton said, adding that she and her husband had not followed early media reports about Hadiya. "By the time we found out about what had happened, it was already at the national level. I was so in awe."
In the days after Hadiya's death, the family found shelter from grief through a flood of activity. First lady Michelle Obama attended the funeral. A week later, the parents were in Washington, lobbying the Senate for tougher gun laws and sitting next to the first lady as President Obama talked about Hadiya in his State of the Union address. Cowley-Pendleton appeared in an ad sponsored by Mayors Against Illegal Guns urging Congress to pass the president's proposals for stricter gun laws.
Becoming active in the anti-violence movement helped the couple find meaning in Hadiya's death. And for a while, it gave them a reprieve from their grief.
"It kept us from having to think about what we knew was waiting," Nathaniel Pendleton said. "I didn't want any time to stop and think. But every time I walked to the White House, it hit me that I'm here because my daughter is gone."
Cowley-Pendleton was at her job as a customer service manager at a credit reporting company when she got a phone call from one of her daughter's friends telling her Hadiya had been shot. She called Pendleton, who runs a catering company. Initially, after talking with police, they didn't think Hadiya had been seriously injured.
But by the time Cowley-Pendleton got to Comer Children's Hospital, her daughter was gone. Neither parent had a chance to speak to her.
Relatives and close friends tried to build a cocoon around the Pendletons, sheltering them as much as possible from an onslaught of media from around the world. If not for those close to them, the people who make up what the couple call a "village," the publicity would have been overwhelming, they said.
Hadiya's parents were adamant about keeping the funeral free of politics and making it a celebration of the teenager's life. It would be a lively event, a suitable send-off for a girl who loved classical music and the British rock band Coldplay. It would be a time for her many friends to say goodbye.
"She always said she wanted her funeral to be a party," Cowley-Pendleton said. "She was a big fan of the 'Twilight' books and was on 'Team Edward.' She used to say she wanted to be cremated and have her ashes scattered over ('Twilight' actor) Robert Pattinson's grave."

danger of aluminum in antiperspirants

Lucy, you've got some splinin' to do
Reinforced miter-joints strengthen a weak joint
Miter joints are some of the weakest in woodworking because of poor end-grain to end-grain gluing. That's why I always reinforce my miter joints with a spline. I used to cut the spline slots with a jig on my tablesaw, but that gets awkward with a large frame.
Recently, I began using my biscuit joiner to simplify this process. By adding an aluminum plate to the jointer's fence, as shown, the slot is automatically centered on the joint. I cut the added plate to shape using a metal-cutting blade on my bandsaw.
A couple of caveats: When cutting the 90° bird's mouth, leave at least 3/16" of metal at the back of the plate for strength. And remember that you could accidentally cut into the added plate with the joiner's blade if you don't properly adjust the depth.

More nations are offering troops to help free the northern half of the country from rebels.
As efforts continue to free northern Mali from Islamic rebel control, more African contingents are arriving the country. Among the latest to arrive were an advance party of Senegalese soldiers that landed in the Malian capital, Bamako on Sunday, January 20, 2013. The rest of the contingent of 500 soldiers is expected in the country at a yet-to-be unannounced date, RFI radio reported.
Meanwhile, Chadian and Niger troops are preparing to cross over into Mali by land to join in the liberation efforts. Niger President, Mahamadou Issoufou, on Tuesday January 22, 2013 visited and encouraged his troops on the Malian border as they prepare to cross over and head towards the north-eastern town of Gao.
The regional bloc, the Economic Community of West African States, ECOWAS, has pledged to send 3,000 soldiers for the African-led International Support Mission in Mali, AFISMA, in line with a United Nations resolution. The force will be headed by General Shehu Abdulkadir from Nigeria. Some 2,000 African soldiers are expected in Mali by January 26. Nigeria has since increased its troop pledge from 900 to 1,200 and a contingent of around 100 soldiers is already in Mali. Earlier, a Nigerian technical team, in addition to the Force Commander, was already deployed on the ground.
Chad, which is not an ECOWAS member, has promised 2,000 soldiers and Togo a total of 540 men. Niger and Burkina Faso have promised 500 soldiers each while Benin has said it will deploy 300 men, Guinea Conakry 150, Ghana 120, while Liberia has pledged to send some troops also. Speaking in an interview on Tuesday, January 22, 2013, Nigeria's Foreign Affairs Minister, Ambassador Olugbenga Ashirun, said the situation in Mali was a national security concern to his country as the link between Boko Haram militants and the terrorist insurgents in northern Mali has been established beyond all doubts, The Guardian newspaper of Nigeria reported.
RFI equally reported yesterday, January 23, 2013 that following the recent victories of French and Malian forces in central Mali, the Islamic militants had fled to Kidal on the border with Algeria, some 1,500 km from Bamako.
