from Phoenix
This is a great product for a great price! It is as effective in reducing soreness as higher priced products. The smell is very relaxing too. Other fragrances in Dr. Teal are also nice, just a personal preference of the buyer. Give it a try!

great for muscle aches,or when you are just tired and need a spa treatment. very reasonable price, just get yourself a pretty container, which you probably already have, and it will be pretty to leave out as part of your spa decor

This epson salt has a nice relaxing scent and soothes my mind and my muscles. I like it a lot. The scent is light. If I need a lot of epson salt I put in some regular salts to the bath for muscle soothing. Makes my skin soft too.

By QueenAileen
from Pittsburgh, PA
describe yourself Athletic
Love using this to enhance my bath and make it extra relaxing and soothing.
Soak away sore muscles: Pour 2 cups of Dr. Teal's Epsom Salt under warm, running bath water. Soak for 20 minutes, and let the rich minerals absorb through the skin, offering relief to sore muscles.
Exfoliate your skin: Mix 2 tablespoons of Dr. Teal's Epsom Salt with a handful of your favorite body wash. Gently massage mixture onto skin to slough away dry patches, revealing a healthier-looking complexion.
Relieve sprains and stings: Add 1 cup of Dr. Teal's Epsom Salt to 1 quart of warm water. Immerse a wash cloth in the solution, then wring out excess water. Apply the warm wash cloth to the affected area until the wash cloth is no longer warm. Repeat two or three times to help reduce pain and swelling.

A political firestorm sparked last week by new US recommendations on breast-cancer screening could be the start of a wider battle.
The US Preventive Services Task Force has recommended that the age at which women begin routine mammograms should increase from 40 to 50. The advice is based on an assessment of risks and benefits, which takes into account the side effects of treating tumours that are not life-threatening. Screening costs were not considered, yet healthcare reform critics have portrayed the move as a sign of the "rationing" to come if government takes a bigger role in the system.
This suggests it may be hard to convince the public that a broader elimination of unnecessary tests and treatments can mean better health outcomes. Doctors should involve patients in decision-making and present evidence in a digestible form, says Shannon Brownlee, a health-policy specialist at the New America Foundation in Washington DC.

Al Harrington has had time to contemplate it all what with the staph infection that derailed his career and the one season with the Orlando Magic in which he barely got off the bench. And as he has been waiting to learn of his new destination with the Magic likely to either trade him or waive him sooner rather than later the 33-year-old who swears he isn't done yet has had his views crystallized on today's NBA. "Being in that situation in Orlando you get a real good look at politics and stuff like that the part of the game that's not attractive — just the business side of it" Harrington told USA TODAY Sports recently while training in Las Vegas. "One thing I realized is that it's not about how much you can play or what you can do on the court anymore. The game has become about (financial) numbers and salaries and stuff like that. "It's not what you can do anymore. It's what you can do at that price. And everybody wants a deal you know what I mean?" He knows this of course becaus...

How to Quit Smoking by Using an Allen Carr Book
Reading The Easy Way to Stop Smoking is an alternative way to quit smoking. The book, written by a former chain-smoker, has sold 6 million copies in its twenty years on the market. The book promises you will be a nonsmoker at the end with no cravings, weight gain, or misery. Frankly, the book works by debunking every reason you have for smoking - leaving you with no excuse to continue smoking, and no feeling of sacrifice when you quit. Try it!
1Stop at your library, order it online, or go to the bookstore to get a copy of The Easy Way to Stop Smoking.Ad
2Prepare to read the book by getting away from distractions and clearing your mind. You may want to try to read the book in one sitting. Also, please, make sure that you want to quit.
3Follow all the directions to the letter. Don't skip any sections that seem repetitive.
4Really try to understand the examples he gives in order to realise that smoking does nothing for you.
5Extinguish that final cigarette, and make a solemn vow to never smoke again. Do so with joy, not with uncertainty or partial dedication.
6Reap the benefits of living a smoke-free life.
- A barrage of new smells - pleasant and unpleasant - will be noticeable. This is both because the blanket of tobacco smoke has lifted from your environment (if you smoke inside), and also because your sense of smell is returning to you. Burning aromatic incense will help to bring "olfactory harmony" to your new smoke-free environments - particularly important during the first few days.
- Food tastes better - and meals and drinks are actually more enjoyable without a cigarette.
- You have more wind.
7Spread the word about this book! Recommend the book to friends and family that smoke. Donate a few copies to your library. If you wonder why it's not as popular in the states as it is in Europe, that is because it would spell the end of not only the tobacco industry, but also the nicotine-replacement product industry and other quitting clinics, so they all used their power and money to make sure that this book never reaches you.Ad
We could really use your help!
Turtles and Tortoises?
Emulators and Roms?
Programming Help?
- Some more of Carr's wisdom; "Smoking is like banging your head against a wall and then stopping so it feels good" and "Smoking is like wearing tight shoes so it feels good when you take them off".
- While you quit, remember to H.A.L.T whenever you get a craving. H.A.L.T. stands for Hungry, Angry, Lonely, Tired. Use these ideas as clues to what is causing the craving. Not sure what is causing a craving? Take a guess. Is it late at night? Is your stomach growling? Is there something bothering you? The important thing is to take action to deal with the issue every time. And if you aren't sure what action you should take, just do the first thing that comes to mind--this will at least prime your brain for next time. Retraining yourself with ways to deal with these issues will make future cravings easier to deal with and makes them fade quicker.
- Remember, there is no such thing as just "one puff" - that is what got you started in the first place.
- You will only gain weight if you substitute foods for cigarettes. Still, you would have to be a few hundred pounds overweight to get as many health risks as tobacco gives you.
- More tips
- If you find yourself in a tempting situation where you really want to smoke, pity the people smoking, don't envy them.
- If you get cravings despite the book, skim over the book for some sentences for encouragement.
- Scare tactics, such as statistics and gross pictures, make smokers experience withdrawal pangs sooner and get them smoking more. If that were enough to make smokers quit, they all would have already.
- If this did not work for you, you are doing something wrong. Follow all the directions in the book and read it completely.
- The way quitting works is that, eventually, having a cigarette (for any reason) simply won't even occur to you--as a good or bad idea. To a smoker and people starting their quit this sounds ridiculous, but it is true. You will naturally become as oblivious to smoking as any non-smoker. It's not a matter of willpower or somehow "suppressing" thoughts of smoking at that point. Once all your cravings are dealt with they will simply fade away. Most cravings, including those from the physical addiction, will be much weaker than you expect and fade within the first few days.
- Beware of all the myths about smoking! Here are some myths about smoking, all of them debunked;
- Smokers enjoy smoking - smokers are miserable when they are not smoking, it's called addiction
- smokers choose to smoke - they chose to smoke as much as a heroin addict chose to start and continue using heroin
- smoking relieves boredom and stress - addiction
- smoking aids concentration and relaxation - addiction
- quitting is hard, and smokers must suffer when they quit - not with the Easyway method
- Research what goes into a cigarette/cigar. Anybody would be put off by seeing what you were breathing in.
- Smoking does not keep you slim. It reduces muscle and your body stores the remaining fat around the vital organs. With fat storage comes a range of harmful health outcomes.
- Do not cut down on cigarettes as a method of quitting; those leave you in withdrawal and miserable longer, making cigarettes seem more precious.
- Do not use nicotine replacement therapy; those contain the thing that got you addicted.
- ANY major lifestyle changes should be done with the advice of a physician. Keep in mind that if you are on medicare or medicaid that smoking cessation products are regularly covered, so long as you have a prescription.

ORLANDO, Fla. Two janus kinase (JAK) inhibitors are substantially improving treatment of myelofibrosis (http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/myelofibrosis/DS00886) in patients, say Mayo Clinic (http://www.mayoclinic.org/) researchers who are presenting results of several clinical trials at the 52nd annual meeting of the American Society of Hematology (http://www.hematology.org/ ) (ASH) Dec. 4 in Orlando.
VIDEO ALERT: Additional audio and video resources, including excerpts from an interview with Drs. Animesh Pardanani and Ayalew Tefferi describing the research, are available on the Mayo Clinic News Blog (http://newsblog.mayoclinic.org/2010/12/03/myelofibrosis-study/). These materials also are subject to embargo, but may be accessed in advance by journalists for incorporation into stories. The password for this post is JAK387.
Their findings suggest that both drugs, CYT387 and TG101348, effectively reduce spleen size and alleviate constitutional symptoms, major symptoms of this disorder, but that each have unique benefits.
According to Ayalew Tefferi, M.D. (http://mayoresearch.mayo.edu/staff/tefferi_a.cfm), a Mayo Clinic hematologist and principal investigator for both clinical trials, results were both "surprising and pleasant" for CYT387, the first drug of its class to alleviate anemia in a substantial proportion of patients. TG101348 was also the first in its class to result in a measurable decline in JAK2 mutation burden and to substantially reduce high white blood cell and platelet counts, he says.
"These drugs represent smarter, targeted treatments that appear to make a substantial difference in treatment of this disorder," says A

The American left-hander, who has been a runner-up in his national championship a record six times, ground out an even-par 70 in the opening round at Pinehurst Resort to finish two strokes off the early pace.
"I drove it great," admitted the five-times major winner, whose most recent runner-up finish at the US Open came last year at Merion.
"Every time I hit the driver, I hit the fairway. I putted OK but didn't make the ones you need to make to have a good round."
American Kevin Na opened with a 68 on Pinehurst's fabled No.2 Course where danger lurked on virtually every hole because of the unique turtle-back greens.
"I got off to a great start," Na said after mixing an eagle at the par-five fifth with three birdies and three bogeys on an increasingly firm and fast-running layout. "I had an early tee time and I was able to capitalise on that. A long way to go and I'm obviously at two-under par right now but, at the end of the tournament, I think even par is going to win this championship."
Brent Snedeker carded a 69. "I don't know how I made six birdies today, you're not going to have that very often," he said. "I got off to a great start."

Jägermeister donates $50,000 to the newly formed Nevada Boxing Hall of Fame in conjunction with "A Brother in your Corner," the iconic brand's social responsibility campaign and consumer competition with legendary boxing trainer, Freddie Roach. In February, Jägermeister announced a partnership with Hall of Fame boxing trainer, Freddie Roach, to launch the pioneering 'A Brother in Your Corner' program developed to promote responsible consumption. The program challenged consumers to share their stories of how they too lived by the code of brotherhood and social responsibility for a chance to win a once-in-a-lifetime trip to Vegas with 3 friends where they will receive a private training session from Roach himself, ringside tickets to the weekend's top fight, dinner with the boxing great and VIP access to the weekend's most exclusive party.

New unemployment claims dipped to 284,000 in the past week, and this is the lowest number since the week of February 18 2006. This was about the time that it became apparent that the Bush Depression was going to happen. History tells us that without significant gov't intervention it takes about ten years to recover from a Bank Panic, that's what they used to call these things prior to the New Deal that made bank crashes impossible to happen.
Of course Reagan, Bush, Clinton & Bush undid all of those regulations and safeguards with the predictable result.
So now we're seeing the recovery start to pick up speed, but let's be clear, it's not because Obama has been able to do much to fix things. He just hasn't done any new damage and has more or less kept the Republicans in check. Corporate America is another matter, despite record stock prices, record profits, record CEO salaries and trillions in cash on hand they are refusing to invest at pre-crash levels.

BPA Presents DOKTOR KABOOM! LIVE WIRE! THE ELECTRICITY TOUR Tonight
Bainbridge Performing Arts (BPA) presents Doktor Kaboom! LIVE WIRE! The Electricity Tour for one night only tonight, August 28 at 7:00 p.m. Seattle's own, Doktor Kaboom, is creating a brand new show to premier at the Kennedy Center this fall. Join us for this exclusive preview performance!
Science comedian, Doktor Kaboom, travels the world performing interactive one-man shows designed to make audiences laugh hysterically, and truly learn. This newest show, co-commissioned by the Kennedy Center, is focused on the wonders of electricity, and is geared towards the entire family. Audiences of KING5's New Day Northwest, will know that Doktor K's approach to science education is not just for kids. He believes that science is for everyone, so the show must be, as well. Everyone in the family is guaranteed to have a great time, even (especially?) the adults. Siblings, parents, grandparents all have a blast laughing together, learning, and cheering whenever he is on stage - making it clear why Broadway World calls him, "a force to be reckoned with... a complete delight!"
The creation of Actor/Comedian David Epley, Doktor Kaboom! creatively blends theatre arts with the wonders of scientific exploration. Doktor Kaboom! keeps his crowds riveted with interest and rolling with laughter. Don't miss his last test-run of the show one night only at Bainbridge Performing Arts!
David Epley has been fortunate enough to discover two passions in his life. Science, his first, took him to studies at the North Carolina School of Science and Mathematics. His second, performing, became his career, and for 20 years David has made his living writing, performing, and directing original interactive comedy across the US and Canada. He now brings his passions together with an explosive style that refuses to allow his audiences time to catch a breath.
Doktor Kaboom! appears one night only August 28 at 7:00 p.m. at Bainbridge Performing Arts. Tickets, $15 for adults, and $10 for seniors, students, youth, military, and teachers, may be purchased online at www.bainbridgeperformingarts.org, by phone at 206.842.8569 or in person at BPA, 200 Madison Avenue North, Bainbridge Island. BPA Box Office hours are 1:00 to 4:00 p.m. Wednesday through Friday, and one hour prior to each performance.

If we look closely, we can see signs of life have emerged…
Do you think she just walks around with her ass always toward the camera?
What they saw on the other side.
For some reason, when I saw this photo of her ass, "Thus Spoke Zarathrusta", particularly the timpani.
Example at :20: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o09L-hkrzhw
Get you Cottage Cheese Here, Cottage Cheese. Get Your Cottage Cheese Here.
is that cottage cheese, or just a bad implant job ?
those are sweet, sweet lipo scars
nasty butt injections, just like that trashy video ho Angel Lola Luv. EXACTLY like her whacked out injections http://yadigg.files.wordpress.com/2008/01/flatbooty.jpg
if her tight spandex swimsuit bottoms let go there is going to be a tsunami in Cali
I'd motorboat Kim's ass and then politely request that she fart directly on my tongue. Great times.
Damn you guys are bitches I wish I looked like that

As of Thursday, October 4, 2012
© Copyright 2015 Gwinnett Daily Post
1 and 1/2 stars out of 4
This was inevitable. Because the first "Taken" was released with little to no expectations and became a surprise blockbuster, a quick follow-up cash-in was a lock. As is often the case -- particularly with action sequels -- "Taken 2" is a virtual carbon-copy of the first and goes from start to finish on predictable auto-pilot.
Back again is Liam Neeson as Bryan, an ex-CIA agent who is James Bond on steroids. Proficient in a number of hand-to-hand, Eastern-based fighting disciplines, Bryan can take out dozens of men at a time while emerging without a scratch. Also a superb marksman, he along with his magic pistol stuffed with an endless supply of bullets, never misses his target all while also miraculously dodging walls of automatic machine gun fire. Why is it in these movies, it is machine guns and not pistols that always need reloading?
In the first outing, Bryan's daughter Kim (Maggie Grace) was kidnapped and sold into white sex slavery, yet was spared indignities just in the nick of time thanks to his impossibly adroit detective skills. This time it is Bryan and his ex-wife Lenny (Famke Janssen), who is also Kim's mother, that are the kidnapped while the three vacation in Istanbul.
Opening with a monochrome title sequence stolen directly from "Se7en," "Taken 2" is not only too hard to swallow as a narrative, it's downright ugly. With few exceptions (about 10 percent), the entire film is shot in the shadows with slight variations on blue, black and grey -- both in the set designs and costumes which results in the characters blending in with the backgrounds. The fight scenes are shot so up-close and are edited so fast, it's hard to tell who's fighting who.
Bryan's principal foe this time out is Murad (Rade Serbedzija), the father of one of the slave traders killed by Bryan in the first installment. While burying his son Murad whips the families of the other dead terrorists/thugs into a frothy lather while calling for retribution jihad and, like sheep, they are more than willing to blindly follow him into battle. If his name doesn't ring a bell (and there's no reason it should) you'll recognize Serbedzija's face. Born in the former Yugoslavia, he's become the go-to guy in movies and TV whenever an imposing older Eastern European gangster type is needed.
Once Bryan and Lenny are taken, it's up to Kim to come to the rescue and co-writer/producer Luc Besson has her go through a series of complicated and unnecessarily convoluted steps along the way. She runs over rooftops, jumps across alleyways three stories high all while tossing grenades and of course, dodging automatic weapons fire. This is nothing compared to what takes place later on.
The movie opens with Bryan trying without much success, to teach Kim how to parallel park. In the second act Kim, with next to no driving experience and without a license, drives a stolen taxi through the razor thin streets of Istanbul at lightning speed as if she's Steve McQueen in "Bullitt" or Matt Damon in the first "Bourne" outing. Rather than suspend, this and other events shatter disbelief into smithereens.
In what has been the case in recent years, Besson turns over the directing duties to one of his underlings -- this time it's a guy named Olivier Megaton. If that last name seems a little too outlandish, that's because it is. Born with the surname Fontana, Megaton changed it because his birthday fell on the 20th anniversary of the bombing of Hiroshima. Living up to his stage name, Megaton employs overkill and bombast for the duration and by the time the anti-climactic ending roles around, we're either numb and/or ambivalent regarding the outcome.
Hopefully audiences will recognize "Taken 2" as the cheap rip-off that it is, spread the bad word quick and squash the possibility of a third outing before the end of the weekend. (Fox)

The Celtics fell to the Brooklyn Nets 101-93, in a game that Kevin Garnett struggled offensivelly, recording only 11 points. He and Doc Rivers agreed that the veteran needs to get back in his groove after missing two weeks due to an injury. Garnett went as far as to guarantee he will get better. Kevin Garnett Doc Rivers Paul Pierce preferred to focus on the team's playoff hopes and said one more time that they Celtics want to be a defensive-minded team first. Avery Bradley had the difficult task of guarding Deron Williams and got the shorter end of the stick of it, getting in foul trouble and watching the Nets guard score 29 points on 9-18 shooting. He spoke after the game about how difficult it is to guard a big guy like Williams.

Word Search Online Game
Word searches online is a game that has been around for ages. It is one of the most common games among the adults and children. This game is more like scrabble but in this case, you are looking out for a word from a clustered table of letters with hidden words in it. The game is good for your brain and serves as a fantastic puzzle that will jog your mind and make its performance better. This is a great exercise for every word nerd out there! Many Canadians use crosswords puzzles to not only exercise but to increase the strength in their eyes. Other puzzle games can be use to improve vocabulary and strengthen eyesight. When looking for some down time or to wager bets in hopes of winning money, canadians also enjoy online casinos where there is no pressure to dress up to go out, or get caught in the mix of crowded land-based casinos. There are many puzzle or arcade style games to play and actually win real money at these popular online casinos, and the proof is in the astonishing growth of the industry over the past few years.
There are plenty of sites with this game. The game is free to play you might come across a site that has more word games for you to enjoy. This is a game you can easily enjoy with your partners. It's always good to get into a healthy challenge that will involve plenty of mind jogging and make sure that you are relieving the day's stress. The game is free on your PC and mobile devices, you don't have to download it. But if you need to play it offline, you can go for the downloadable versions of the word searches game.
How do you play the game?
The game is all about finding words in the grid that appear in the word list which can be placed at the bottom or any of the sides of the puzzle. After finding a word in the grid, all you have to do is click and drag through the letters to make a score. The words in the grid puzzle may be spelt forward, backward, downward or upward. The faster you find the words, the more the bonus points you will get. But all this will depend on the site you will be playing the game. The word searched online game is fun and the fact that you will be spending nothing to play it, bring a huge difference compared to other games on the internet. Take a break and play the word search game.

Letter: How selfish
Ellen Schmidt, Naples
How selfish
Tours of the White House have been canceled due to the automatic spending cuts known as sequestration.
As usual, it's President Barack Obama at his best playing the blame game — blaming the Secret Service for this decision.
Jay Carney, the president's press secretary, stated several times that the decision was made by the White House.
The White House is the "people's house." It is a temporary residence for the Obamas and family members who live there. The White House is not a castle, nor is the president a king.
Thousands of tourists and students will be going to Washington this spring with high hopes of visiting the White House only to be disappointed by the president's outrageous decision. What a shame they will not be able to visit this beautiful structure and symbol of our country where so much history has taken place.
The reported tour costs are $74,000 a week and are performed by volunteers. This is minuscule compared to the $180,000 an hour it costs to jet the Obamas around on their extravagant vacations on Air Force One.
While critical cuts have been made due to the sequester, the Obama administration gave $250 million in aid to Egypt, shortly after making the decision to close the doors of the White House to "we the people"!

Betsy Jo Miller Releases YE GODS! HOW THE WORLD REALLY WORKS
When social activist Betsy Jo Miller's subconscious connection with her son, who had tragically passed away at a young age, led her to contribute to a missing child case, she began to see the world differently.
A teacher with a background in sociology, Miller contemplates the meaning of life, death and spirituality in her new book, "Ye Gods! How the World REALLY Works," exploring the interconnectedness of humanity through its part in creating life, both consciously and subconsciously.
"I believe the readers will resonate with the ideas in this book as it will evoke their own deepest thoughts and emotions" Miller says. "They will be drawn into pondering their interconnectedness with all of life through ideas that, while controversial, are beautifully simple and sensible in their connection to everyday life."
"Ye Gods! How the World REALLY Works" covers topics like how we continually mold consciousness or creative energy through our thoughts, how to rescript the individual and joint creations that currently impact our world in a negative way, and how to embrace wisdom in people everywhere so individuals are emboldened to do the same.
Encouraging acceptance and progressive thinking, Miller has one ultimate goal with her new book: to impress upon readers their connectedness and responsibility to one another and to the Earth.
"All-in-all, I feel that the insights in this book can empower individuals to expand their former limited religious thoughts into creative spiritual ones that take into account the oneness of all people," Miller says. "Then love and peace will abound rather than continue as a theoretical dream."

Want some color in your yard? Annuals do the job
If you want a yard that looks like it belongs in a gardening magazine, then start thinking about replacing your annual color. Being proactive in planting annuals is important to have that well-manicured look.
Color is important because it immediately draws the eye to a focal point in the landscape. In a home, that focal point is generally the front door - to create a welcoming look and to direct visitors to the entrance. For that reason, you might want to plant flowering annuals near your front porch to pull the eye to your entryway.
Annuals can be added in pots or in flowerbeds. Always provide plenty of drainage. Plants in pots need one or more drainage holes in the bottom. You also need a well-drained, organic potting mix for your pots to allow good aeration and proper root development.
Ask the Garden Pro
Q. I decided this year to change my grass to Floritam like youve suggested, so I put plugs in my lawn. Its starting to grow, but I have a lot of broadleaf weeds between the plugs. I cant find a product that is labeled for use on Floratam. What can I do?
A. Floratam is more sensitive to herbicides than other St. Augustine varieties, so chemical manufacturers just decided to take it off the label to prevent legal liabilities. That leaves your best option in the meantime with pulling weeds that spring up between your plugs.
Next year, your Floratam should be so thick that it chokes out the weeds.
I have found that to be the case in my yard, even with minimal fertilization. In the meantime, get out the hoe and keep the competition at bay.
Send questions to Michael Womack at firstname.lastname@example.com or Ask the
Garden Pro, 710 East Main St., Suite 1, Robstown, 78380.
Let soaked soil dry
Last weekend's rains were much needed, but it also left the soil saturated in many areas. Test your soil to determine if it is dry enough to plant. If you dig in the soil and the soil sticks to your shovel, it's too wet. Wait a few more days to plant in order to prevent damage to the soil structure.
Remember that flowering annuals like sunny locations. Place pots or locate new beds in areas that receive full sun if you want flowers to bloom to their potential. If you are stuck with shade, expect less flowering or look at plants with colorful or variegated leaves to add a splash of color.
Garden mums are available, but they are perennials, not annuals, and will live for years. However, you won't have the same display of color next year with garden mums and you won't have that splash of color in the spring because they need long nights and short days to bloom. Use them and then dig them up when the flowers are spent.
Annuals at local garden centers include petunias, flowering cabbage, calendulas and dianthus. Soon you may find pansies, alyssum, snapdragons and more cool-season plants.
If you have summer annuals, decide whether you want to keep them or dig them up. Some summer annuals such as purslane and moss rose (portulacca) need heat to thrive and will start yellowing and losing leaves as the temperatures drop. I'd go ahead and remove those.
Remove and replant
Periwinkles (vinca) may or may not survive the winter. I have seen some perennialize and last for several years. That is great in an informal or cottage garden. However, if you want that polished landscape look, you should remove and replant with fresh annuals.
Once you plant, make sure you water the soil, even if it was moist when you dig. That allows the soil to settle around the roots and make good contact.
Also consider fertilizing. A slow-release fertilizer such as Osmocote will provide a little fertilizer for several months each time you water. That provides much-needed nutrients for these heavy feeders, allowing them to stay in tip-top shape, just like you see at the nurseries. Fertilizing is important if you have potted annuals because the nutrients in potting mixes quickly leach out.
Taking a little time now will help you spruce up your landscape and will provide a colorful, living welcome mat for your guests this fall.

Vancouver's cosmopolitan side is reflected in this sushi bar, music lounge along Granville. It has modern surroundings, an open kitchen in the Italian trattoria fashion. Late night after 9PM, you can avail of the all you can order lunch menu at $13. You get a maximum of 6 pieces sashimi per diner, so I suggest 3 salmon, 2 tuna and 1 snapper. The oyster motoyaki is oily but great comfort food. the spicy scallop and spicy tuna cones are wonderful as is the agedashi tofu. the beef teriyaki is a bit fatty, but okay. I would give the suimono a miss, but the miso soup is great as are the veggie tempura and beef curry rice. Polite and attentive service without the grouchiness of many other all you can eat places. Widescreen flat screen TV with hockey.

The mirror-like water reflects images of peaks sprinkled with snow. In the distance a stag bounds over the heather-covered hillside, a golden eagle swoops from a cluster of ancient Scots pines and a wisp of peaty smoke disappears into the crisp air.
Standing on the lawn of a loch-side retreat, there is nothing to disturb your view of this wonderful wintry scene except the thought of a crackling fire inside and the notion of a fine dram of malt before dinner.
Everyone has heard of Loch Ness, but Scotland has more than 500 lochs, from deep-sea inlets to small mountain lakes, ideal for discovering in winter - away from the summer crowds and midges. A growing number of hotels are opening up earlier in the season offering luxurious accommodation and gourmet food for which it is worth travelling. Here are 10 of the best:
Loch Torridon
Mountains of pink granite rise from the loch, the green trees of Ben Damph forest mark the valley and a Victorian mansion commands the shoreline. It lies just over an hour from Inverness, and the single-track mountain road approach takes you past blissful scenery.
Kayaking, rock climbing, mountain biking and mountaineering - you can do it all in Torridon. The area is a giant adventure playground. Gentler activities include archery, clay-pigeon shooting, falconry or walking, while fishing, pony trekking and wildlife trips can be arranged.
With its stone spires, huge bay windows, and Zodiac painted ceiling, The Torridon still embodies Victorian grandeur. Bedrooms are more contemporary, although master rooms have traditional four-posters and claw-foot baths. Meals include produce grown in the kitchen garden.
- The Torridon, Achnasheen, Wester Ross (01445 791242; www.thetorridon.com). Doubles from £185 a night, including breakfast and dinner. Open from Friday 1st February.
Loch Ewe
Tucked away on the edge of Wester Ross, shielded by the Isle of Ewe, Loch Ewe is so secluded that convoys used it to assemble during the Second World War. Despite its seemingly remote location, Poolewe is just an hour and a half from Inverness.
Explore the exotic gardens of Inverewe, enjoy a falconry session, or create your own bespoke perfume with Scotland's only perfume scientist.
Original Victorian baths, ornate antique furniture and nautical touches in the seven decadent suites make Pool House unique. Food includes loch scallops gathered by hand and organic local produce prepared by a chef previously with Gordon Ramsay and Gary Rhodes.
- Pool House, Poolewe, Ross-shire (01445 781272; www.poolhousehotel.com). Doubles from £185 a night, including breakfast. Open from February 10.
Loch Linnhe
One of Scotland's largest sea lochs, Linnhe follows the line of the Great Glen from Fort William to Oban and the islands, and is just over two hours' drive from Glasgow.
Twelve Munros surround the loch, making it ideal for walking. Ben Nevis is an hour away and some of Argyll's prettiest gardens are nearby. From the pier, you can take the ferry to Lismore Island.
With 11 chic bedrooms and cosy sitting rooms, The Airds Hotel has come a long way since its early days as an 18th-century ferry inn and has just joined the Relais & Chateaux collection. Food is a big draw, with Master Chef Paul Burns regularly hosting gourmet nights.
- The Airds Hotel, Port Appin, Argyll (01631 730236; www.airds-hotel.com). Doubles from £170 a night, including breakfast and dinner. Open from Friday.
Loch Inver
Suilven, Canisp and Ben More are a few evocative names which make up the mountainous landscape of Assynt. Sea meets peaks at Loch Inver, where small coves lead to the fishing port of Lochinver, two hours' drive from Inverness airport.
The Coigach contains Britain's oldest rocks, dating back 300 million years, and its first Geopark. The coastline is also impressive for walking, with long sandy beaches and the Point of Stoer sea stack.
With just two bedrooms and three suites, The Albannach offers an intimate experience. Dinners comprise five courses of local produce, with an emphasis on what comes from the loch, served by candlelight in the oak-panelled dining room.
- The Albannach, Baddidarroch, Lochinver (01571 844407; www.thealbannach.co.uk). Doubles from £250 a night, including breakfast and dinner. Open from March 14.
Loch Lomond
Scotland's largest loch, set in The Trossachs, its first national park, is just 20 minutes from Glasgow yet in the winter you can have it to yourself. Views across to Ben Lomond are breathtaking, especially at dawn.
The new Carrick golf course offers a designer course alongside the loch, while the spa facilities, which include infra-red saunas and an infinity hydro-pool, are the most advanced in Scotland.
Approaching the end of a £25-million refurbishment, Cameron House is starting to look worthy of its magnificent loch-side location. The baronial mansion offers sleek drawing rooms, fine suites and sophisticated cuisine.
- Cameron House, Loch Lomond (01389 755565; www.devere.co.uk). Refurbished doubles from £189 a night, including breakfast.
Loch Crenan
Just above Oban, about two hours from Glasgow. Loch Creran is a small sea loch leading into Loch Linnhe, ideally positioned for fabulous sunsets. Entry to the loch is guarded by the Isle of Eriska, a 300-acre private island linked to Argyll by a single-track bridge.
Explore the island on foot, enjoying the unique woodland and local wildlife, which includes otters, seals and badgers. A swimming pool, gym and spa, plus a soon-to-be completed nine-hole golf course, are also available. The Scottish Sea Life Sanctuary and Dunstaffnage Castle are nearby.
Built in the 1880s, The Isle of Eriska has been a family-run hotel for more than 30 years. Rooms range from traditional grand Victorian to modern cottages and spa suites with their own hot tub.
- Isle of Eriska, Benderloch, Argyll (01631 720371; www.eriska-hotel.co.uk). Doubles from £300 a night, including breakfast, dinner and afternoon tea. Open from Friday.
Loch Sunart
Loch Sunart curves between the remote peninsulas of Morvern and Ardnamurchan. The village of Strontian, two-and-a half-hours' drive from Glasgow, gave its name to the trace element, strontium, discovered here by lead miners in the 1700s.
Walk around Britain's last remaining pockets of ancient Atlantic oak forest, discovering the diverse range of lichens, spotting pine martens and golden eagles.
The elegant bedrooms and suites at the 18th-century Kilcamb Lodge have stunning views across the loch. The cosy red dining room serves simple sounding dishes with a gourmet edge.
- Kilcamb Lodge Hotel, Strontian, Argyll (01967 402257; www.kilcamblodge.co.uk). Doubles from £130 a night, including breakfast. Open from February 5.
Loch Voil
Loch Voil is rural Perthshire personified. Green hills roll away from the steely blue water towards Ben More. Although less than an hour and a half from Glasgow or Edinburgh, it is well away from main roads and city noise.
Walk across the moors, cycle alongside the loch or curl up on the veranda with a good book. Trout fishing and seaplane trips can also be arranged. Rob Roy's grave is in the local churchyard while the small towns of Crieff and Callander are less than 30 minutes' drive.
Monachyle Mhor still looks like an 18th-century farmhouse from the outside, but within it is a style haven. The 14 rooms and suites are bold and individual with luxurious features including freestanding stone tubs, double slipper baths and all the audiovisual gadgets you could desire.
- Monachyle Mhor, Balquhidder, Lochearnhead, Perthshire (01877 384622; www.monachylemhor.com). Doubles from £220 a night, including breakfast and dinner.
Loch Awe
As names go this one is rather appropriate: Loch Awe is one of Scotland's longest and prettiest freshwater lochs.
Two and a half hours from Glasgow, the loch curves through steep cliffs, opening out into gentle forest on the peninsula around Ardanaiseig.
Boating, fishing and strolling around Ardanaiseig's pretty gardens are principal pleasures here. The Ben Cruachan power station, a short drive away, allows you inside the mountain for a close up view of the world of hydro-electricity.
Built in the 1830s for the Campbell family, Ardanaiseig Hotel is one of the most romantic looking houses on the west coast. Its gold-painted drawing room and many of the traditional bedrooms have lovely loch views: the boat shed, a luxurious suite at the water's edge, is the most impressive choice. Watch out for the new amphitheatre rooms opening later this year.
- Ardanaiseig Hotel, Kilchrenan, Taynuilt, Argyll (01866 833333; www.ardanaiseig.com). Doubles from £116 a night, including breakfast. Open from Friday.
Loch Crinan
Loch Crinan was once one of Scotland's most important lochs, thanks to the Crinan Canal, a vital transport link between the islands and the Clyde estuary. Today the canal is still used by yachts and the loch is always dotted with small boats.
Sailing is the main sport of the area, followed by golf, at the links course of Machrihanish on the Mull of Kintyre.
With views of theIsle of Jura and the Corryvreckan whirlpool, The Crinan Hotel is as close to the water as you can get without staying on a boat. Design touches in the 1930s building include Lloyd Loom dining chairs, large balconies and pretty seascapes by Frances Ryan.
- Loch Crinan Hotel, Crinan, Lochgilphead, Argyll (01546 830261; www.crinanhotel.com). Doubles from £190 a night, including breakfast and dinner. Open from Friday.
