Age-related macular degeneration is a leading cause of blindness worldwide. Drusen are considered to be a hallmark of AMD; they are formed by the byproducts of retinal pigment epithelium metabolism and have a heterogeneous composition, including lipids, proteins, and glycation end products.1 Of the wide spectrum of AMD manifestations, drusen and pigmentary changes are defining elements of the early disease, while choroidal neovascularization, pigment epithelial detachment, and geographic atrophy of the RPE characterize late disease stages usually associated with severe visual loss.2
AMD is a multifactorial condition, with variable epidemiologic, clinical, and genetic risk factors. Aging changes in the RPE, Bruch's membrane, and choroid are known to play a key role in disease pathogenesis.3-8 The retinal tissue is known to have a very high metabolic demand, which is supplied by the underlying choroidal blood flow.9,10
Although the choroid is involved in fundamental physiological functions, as well as affected by a number of pathological conditions, it is not easily accessed on clinical examination. The normal pigmentation of the choroid and overlying RPE usually impedes full-thickness visualization of the choroid by ophthalmoscopy, fundus photography, or fluorescein angiography.10 Indocyanine green angiography discloses the choroidal vasculature but does not reveal cross-sectional features of the choroidal layers.11
Spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) provides high-speed, high-definition cross-sectional imaging of the retina. However, imaging of the choroid is still considered to be difficult for many reasons.10 Not only are deeper SD-OCT signals attenuated because of fundus pigmentation and the vascular nature of the choroid, but also because of physical principles involved in conventional SD-OCT imaging acquisition.11
Spaide and colleagues recently proposed a method that enables in vivo cross-sectional imaging of the choroid with improved quality using the commercially available SD-OCT device Spectralis (Heidelberg Engineering, Vista, CA), which has eye tracking and automatic scan averaging that significantly reduce the final image noise.11 This imaging method has been called "enhanced depth imaging spectral-domain OCT" (EDI OCT), and its detailed optical principles were previously presented by Spaide and colleagues.11 Briefly, it involves positioning the instrument close enough to the eye to obtain an inverted image of the fundus, in which the choroid appears with enhanced definition.11
The EDI OCT imaging approach has led to new insights related to physiological and pathological features of the choroidal morphology and may become a valuable tool in ophthalmologic investigation. Using this modality, choroidal thickness has been studied in normal eyes, eyes with AMD, and eyes with high myopia.12-14 In a series of 54 healthy eyes examined by EDI OCT, Margolis and Spaide12 observed a mean subfoveal choroidal thickness of 287 µm +/− a standard deviation of 75.7 µm. This study revealed that choroidal thickness tends to decrease over time, at a rate of approximately 16 µm per decade of life. The thinnest subfoveal choroidal thickness measured among that series was 159 µm; two standard deviations less than the mean thickness was 135.6 µm.10,12
Figure 1. Color photograph (A), fundus autofluorescence (B), and near-infrared imaging (C) of a normal control eye. Enhanced-depth imaging OCT (D) of the control eye showing no pre retinal, intraretinal, or photoreceptor abnormalities. There is a healthy underlying choroid with a choroidal thickness of 225 µm.
Having established age-related changes in the choroid with EDI OCT, Spaide further applied this imaging technique to evaluate patients who were considered to have symptomatic AMD and were found to have remarkably decreased choroidal thickness on EDI OCT. Although some of these eyes had concurrent geographic atrophy or choroidal neovascularization, many of them had visual symptoms with no significant macular or RPE changes. In order to further investigate their visual symptoms, a retrospective study of 17 patients (mean age 80.6 years) who had undergone EDI OCT imaging was undertaken, which revealed that these patients had a subfoveal choroidal thickness of 125 µm or less (mean 69.8 µm). This arbitrary morphological cut-off of 125 µm was based on previously reported nomographic data12 placing subfoveal choroidal thickness values further than two standard deviations from the mean for age matched controls. These findings were thought to be acquired, and the term "age-related choroidal atrophy" was used to define this condition.10
The patients with age-related choroidal atrophy were noted to have pigmentary alterations in the macula and a tessellated funduscopic appearance. The tessellated or tigroid pattern of the fundus resulted from visualization of the larger choroidal vessels located within the deep choroid. This appearance may be related to the overall loss of choroidal melanocytes secondary to choroidal atrophy seen in these patients. These patients also were noted to have focal areas of hyperpigmentation with intervening areas of pigment rarefaction. The hyperpigmentation obscured underlying choroidal detail and could be mistaken for retinal pigment epithelial alterations commonly seen with nonexudative age-related macular degeneration. Spaide hypothesized that this focal pattern of macular pigment clumping was located deep to the retina, as sclera was visible beneath the pigment and there were associated areas of RPE loss on fundus autofluorescence.
There was some overlap between patients with age-related choroidal atrophy and age-related macular degeneration. Eighteen eyes of 13 patients did not show any signs of advanced AMD. Patients without advanced AMD presented with reticular pseudodrusen (66.7%), peripapillary atrophy (72.2%), and glaucoma (33.3%). Alternatively, 10 eyes of eight patients presented with signs of advanced AMD with geographic atrophy and choroidal neovascularization. Visual acuity expectedly varied between the two subsets with patients with ad vanced AMD having poorer visual acuity (mean 20/89 vs 20/40). The CNV in patients with advanced AMD were noted to have an indolent course requiring infrequent treatments with anti– vascular endothelial growth-factor to preserve the macular architecture.
Triggering factors for development of CNV in AMD are still a matter of debate, as are the primary underlying mechanisms of CNV development. A choroidal blood supply insufficient to meet the metabolic demand of the retina was theorized to be a primary event in some cases.10,15 A strong relationship between the site of CNV occurrence and macular areas of "choroidal watershed zones" supports the theory that hypoxic or ischemic areas of the fundus are predisposed to CNV formation.16
Figure 2. Color photograph (A) and red-free photograph (B) of the right eye of a patient with age-related choroidal atrophy. There is a tessellated appearance to the fundus and peripapillary atrophy. Note the lack of drusen and RPE alterations. EDI OCT (C) shows attenuation of the choroid, particularly temporally, with a subfoveal choroidal thickness measured at 89 µm.
There was a higher prevalence of glaucoma noted in both groups of patients with age-related choroidal atrophy. Spaide speculated that this could be related to diminished circulation at the prelaminar portion of the optic nerve, which is normally supplied by the short posterior ciliary arteries and concomitantly supply the choroid. The potential association with low-tension glaucoma was entertained, as this type of glaucoma is commonly seen with peripapillary atrophy.
This study by Spaide, which identified and characterized age-related choroidal atrophy, has several limitations — including its retrospective design and small number of patients — that preclude any definitive conclusion or demographic estimations to be made. However, the reliability of the acquired images and the consistency of the data sustain the clinical features described for age-related choroidal atrophy. Spaide proposed many subsequent studies, including the investigation of choroidal thickness in patients with glaucoma (particularly low-tension glaucoma), geographic atrophy, and CNV and the relation of choroidal thickness to treatment response.10
In summary, it is likely that decreasing choroidal thickness could represent an increasing risk for retinal degeneration and optic nerve disease.
Traditionally, AMD has been considered to be a disease whose primary origins are related to damage to the RPE. Age-related choroidal atrophy is as a newly described clinical entity, associated with variable pathological conditions of the aging eye, including impaired visual performance, where the primary pathology resides in the choroid. This knowledge may lead to a better understanding of the pathogenesis of AMD and other posterior-segment conditions and potentially to new therapeutic strategies as well. RP

Nice game conceptGabrielEmp | April 10, 2014 | Review of The Ball - PC
This is a great game. Start with a puzzle game like Portal, where each puzzle needs to be completed before moving on. Then interlace the levels with zombies that are not terribly difficult to kill. At this point it is fresh and interesting, because the only game mechanics are pushing and pulling a giant ball. What truly makes this game shine are the boss fights that combine these elements into an exciting and challenging experience. You've got a giant metal ball and a magnetic gun at your disposal, that only controls the ball. With this one mechanic, you face a series of increasingly-complicated obstacles. Also: undead zombies and mummies.

SkyFuel's SkyTrough is World's Most Efficient Solar Concentrator
Posted By Timon Singh On September 3, 2010 @ 4:00 pm In Environment,Renewable Energy | 3 Comments
When it comes to producing solar power [2], efficiency is the key – efficiency of the panels, efficiency of the system's collectors and, according to SkyFuel [3], efficiency of the solar concentrator technology. Solar concentrators are increasingly being used in the industry, due to their efficiency in providing cheap solar energy. By harnessing the sun's energy, a solar concentrator can provide the necessary heat for dozens of homes and thus save electricity. As such, the systems are more efficient than regular solar generators as captured power is not just converted into electricity. But according to SkyFuel [3], a U.S.-based company, their SkyTrough solar concentrator technology [4] has a thermal efficiency of 73% at 350˚C (662˚F). More than just a shallow claim, their statement has been confirmed by the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL), [5]which has certified the SkyTrough solar concentrator technology to have the highest efficiency in its class!
Performance of the optical elements of the SkyTrough was measured at the Optical Efficiency Test Loop in Golden, Colorado. The test facility was designed to allowed the study of the optical performance independent of the receiver's heat loss characteristics. Optical efficiency is a direct gauge of the design elements unique to the SkyTrough's mirror reflectance, parabolic accuracy, receiver alignment to the focal line of the trough, and the system's tracking precision. "The SkyTrough solar collector is a new, low-weight design that takes advantage of the patented reflector film jointly developed by SkyFuel and NREL," said Chuck Kutscher, Principal Engineer and Manager of NREL's Thermal Systems Group.
In a statement from SkyFuel, the company's Chief Technology Officer Randy Gee said, "A lot of thoughtful engineering went into the SkyTrough, so we were confident our efficiency would be high, but NREL's confirmation really validates our technology. We couldn't be more pleased with NREL's assessment."
Parabolic trough solar concentrators [7], such as the SkyTrough, are designed to harness the sun's energy to make steam for electricity generation. The more efficiently that a trough can harness the sun's energy and convert it to steam, the more electricity it will be able to make. In the SkyTrough's case, nearly three quarters of the solar radiation is thus converted into thermal energy, and then into electricity – a very high figure for solar power production. The fact that the thermal-to-electricity loss is only 27% is quite remarkable considering the large losses of efficiency that occur within the industry.

FEB. 23 Sometime overnight, a large rock was allegedly thrown through the front living room window of a house on Delta Drive. According to the police report, responding officers lifted fingerprints from the rock that was allegedly used to break the window. The 45-year-old victim reported $250 in damage to the window but nothing was allegedly stolen from inside the house. FEB.23 Sometime in the last 24 hours, a community mailbox was allegedly pried open on Dewey Court and Freeman Drive. According to the police report, a 61-year-old woman called police after an unknown suspect(s) used a tool or object to pry open the back door to the community mailbox. It's unclear what mail was taken, if anything. FEB. 22 Between 4 and 5 p.m., police were called to Big K on Pacific Street for Petty Theft. According to the police report, the store's loss prevention officer witnessed Laurie Joy Clark and Cheyenne Summer Lamont concealing make-up on their person before exiting the store without paying for the items. That's when police were called and the two 18-year-old women were cited for petty theft and conspiracy to commit crime. FEB. 22 A representative from Starbucks on Lonetree Boulevard called police to report embezzlement over $400 from the store. According to the police report, between Nov.1, 2009 and Feb. 5, 2010, a 33-year-old ex-employee allegedly took cash from point of sale purchases. Police are now conducting a fraud investigation.

Every college campus is running rampant with many species of men: from the nerd to the athlete to the artist. Each type has specific characteristics, interests and looks which obviously don't apply to every guy in the category, but as they say stereotypes come from somewhere. Today we focus on the notorious frat boy, "bro" or Sig Ep brother.
Natural Habitat: The frat boy spends his days on the fraternity lawn often tossing a football, showing off his athletic ability to members of the female species, while occasionally taking breaks to attend class. At night, he can be found at a beer pong table attempting to dominate his "brothers" in this cultural game. Not only is he trying to show that he is more athletic than his brothers, but that he can drink beer faster and in larger quantities, proving that the female should desire him.
Appearance: This male can often be spotted wearing tank tops, referred to as "bro tanks", as to show off his (sometimes non-existent) muscles. Also, usually wearing oversized neon sunglasses and a baseball cap worn improperly, regardless of whether or not the sun is actually out.
Character Traits: He is fiercely loyal to his fraternity and will become aggressive when anyone speaks ill of his brothers. He is known around campus for his confidence in his ability to find various mates.
Prey: The frat boy's game of choice is usually the inebriated female of a neighboring sorority, who finds his confidence appealing. He does not have to go far to find his mate, she will show up at his house on any given night where a party will inevitably ensue.
How to Capture the Frat Boy: This creature is not an elusive one and will be easy to find on any college campus. Getting him to settle with one mate is the challenge. The female must set herself apart from the rest of the pack to get the frat boy to notice her. To stay on his radar for more than one night, here are 50 tips to keep in mind.

Exciting news – A Mindful Mantra has another guest post! I absolutely love featuring guest posts from other amazing wellness warriors. Today, we have a scrumptious Mixed Berry Cobbler recipe from Stephanie at Spirited Well-being! It's that time of year when the juicy berries are practically begging to be picked. What a better way to use them than a sweet and tart, melt in your mouth cobbler?! Now that my mouth is watering, I will let Stephanie take it from here…
Hi everyone, I'm excited to be guest blogging on A Mindful Mantra today and sharing one of my favorite fruit desserts. When summer rolls around I have one goal – eat all the berries. Fresh, seasonal berries are summer's candy, and I can't get enough. There is something so meditative about strolling through the farm picking your own berries and, let's be real, popping them right into your mouth!
Ice cream used to be my summer indulgence before eliminating gluten, dairy, and refined sugar. Whenever I tell people that I don't eat the big 3 the first question I usually get is "What about dessert?" That's where berries come in. While a big bowl of fresh berries is my idea of a good time, sometimes I want an ooey-gooey dessert. This mixed berry crumble is simple, flexible (you can use nearly any fruit), and no one will miss the gluten, dairy or refined sugar.
Mixed Berry Cobbler
3 cups berries (fresh or frozen) – I used a mix of strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, and blackberries for this version
1/2 cup gluten-free rolled oats
1/2 cup almond flour
1/4 cup chopped walnuts
3 tbsp. coconut butter
1 tbsp. coconut oil
1 tbsp. unsweetened shredded coconut
1 1/2 tbsp. cinnamon
2 tbsp. raw honey or maple syrup
1 tsp. vanilla bean powder
1/2 tsp. sea salt
Juice of 1/2 a lemon
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Grease 8 x 11 baking dish with coconut oil. Place berries in baking dish and toss with lemon juice and 1/2 tablespoon of cinnamon. In a large bowl combine oats, almond flour, walnuts, coconut, melted coconut butter, honey or maple syrup, cinnamon, sea salt and vanilla. Mix with your hands until crumbly and moist, and sprinkle evenly over berries. Bake for 20 minutes, or until topping is brown and crisp and the filling is bubbling. Note: If using frozen berries, it will need to bake about 30 to 40 minutes. Let cool 15-20 minutes before serving.
Optional: Drizzle with raw honey or pure maple syrup when you remove it from the oven and serve with whipped coconut cream (recipe below) or coconut ice cream.
Whipped Coconut Cream
1 can of chilled full-fat coconut milk
1 tsp. cinnamon
1 tsp. vanilla bean powder
Optional: 1 Tbsp. pure maple syrup (for a sweetened coconut cream)
Chill the can of coconut milk overnight. Add the solid coconut cream to a bowl (be sure to only use the cream that has risen to the top and not the water).Add vanilla and cinnamon (and maple syrup, if using) and whip until you reach a whipped cream consistency.
About Stephanie:

The City of Garland Addresses Bicycle Safety: See Video
3 comments:
Just a couple of quibbles, the lane width that cyclists may take the lane is defined as 14 feet in 551.103, and cyclists may ride the inside lane as required to make a left turn or if the outside lane will be going away for a right turn only lane, or if there is a curbed or grassy median separating oncoming traffic, also in 551.103. Given the number of outside lanes that are less than 14 feet from lane marker to first obstruction, while in Garland you can pretty much take the lane everywhere with or without a sign saying you can. Richardson has the same situation and places the "Bicycles may take full lane" signs at the city limits to cover the entire city.ReplyDelete
So I've scoured the city's web page and can't find a map of the streets with lanes, routes, ect. Anyone have the link?ReplyDelete
This post has an image of the map. I'll see if I can find a link to this on the city of Garland's Web site.

One week later and still no winner has come forward to claim that $57 million Mega Millions jackpot. The winning ticket was purchased at the Kangaroo Express at 1531 SE Greenville Boulevard in Greenville.
North Carolina Education Lottery spokesman Van Denton says it's not unusual for someone to take this long to claim a big jackpot because it is a life-changing event. That person has 180 days from last Friday to claim the prize at lottery headquarters in Raleigh.
The winning numbers were 3 - 19 - 21 - 44 - 45 with the Mega Ball 29.
The ticket is worth an estimated $57 million as an annuity or $42.2 million cash--minus state and federal withholdings--if the winner elects to take the lump sum.
So far there have been four big jackpot winners in North Carolina. Three of those were Powerball jackpot winners. Jackie Alston of Halifax who won $74.5 million in November 2006; Jeff Wilson of Kings Mountain who won $88.1 million in June 2009; and Frank Griffin of Asheville who won $141.4 million in February 2010. The first Mega Millions jackpot winner was retired Greensboro businessman Mike Manheim who won $12 million when all of his numbers came up May 2010.
That big $74.5 million winner took 2-1/2 months to claim the jackpot back in 2007.

18/m/ontario with a facesitting/smother fetish!
About myself
Well... I'm a shy person, but a great listener.. I can listen to your problems and give you my opinion/advice. Whatever is getting you down, I can help with.. Not literally of course, but I can offer what I can. If you get in the mood.. ;) I'm submissive... As my name suggests... My face can be your chair xD I like the "being made to feel small" aspect of being dominated... That i'm nothing but a lowly slave to my mistress, if she wants to smother me with her breasts or sit on my face... It's all up to her and I just have to take it.
If your just looking for a sweet, young gentleman to be your companion, your outlet, to whom you can vent all your problems when the worlds got you down, I'm your man :)
The person I would like to meet
Er.. Basically, any woman that has an interest in small, weak guys.
I'm not very muscular so... you could dominate me no problem XD
But, aside from the sexual aspect of looking for someone. I'm looking for an intellectual equal.. someone whom to have an actual conversation with, to share thoughts and ideas. :)
About my work
At the moment, I'm currently attending Fanshawe College in London, Ontario. I'm taking Computer System Technology, the IT field! I work with computers and learn how they work and whatnot. So, after this recession the demands for IT professionals are going to sky-rocket! Computers are the future... I'm getting a jump on them while I still can.
What do you like to do for fun/hobbies?
I'm a gamer, I stay at home and sit at my computer and play video games, as you can well imagine. I'm not very... "buff" but... since I'm a sub.. It shouldn't really matter eh? :P
I talk to my friends and they come to me for help with their problems in their life, like... boyfriend/girlfriend troubles... family issues... they feel the world is coming down on them... I'm their outlet... basically I counsel my friends :P They don't like "burdening" me with their problems, but honestly.. I enjoy making their day a little bit better... Knowing I helped make them a little bit happier makes me happy. :)
My idea of a great date
A romantic evening... As cliche as that sounds but still.. in simplicity there's meaning.. Just to get to know each other, have fun all that good stuff.
What do you find attractive in people?
Good personality
Good sense of humor
Easy to talk to
... Physically? :P
I'm an ass/breast guy :P
I prefer like... a little bit bigger than average.. to ... you know... cover my face to smother me :P hehe
What do others do that irritate you?
Obnoxiousness, Rudeness, people who think they are better than everyone else.. just.. the traits that everyone else hates.
What do you think is your best quality?
What matters the most is feelings, I understand people when they are having a bad day or the world isn't going their way..
I'm a great listener
What one thing would you change about your personality if you could?
I have trust issues, I've gotten betrayed by a few of my "friends" and previous "girl friends" ... so... yeah I would definately change myself so I can trust people more.. :(
What one question would you want answered in an initial email from another member?
How are you?
... right? :P
Describe your physique.
Average build
Not really "buff"
But I'm not NoT tough.. I can put up a fight if that's what my mistress wants..
I got glasses (go figure)
Short brown hair
Big brown eyes .. (ask me to take off my glasses if you want to see them...)
What do you do well sexually?
Eh.. I'm turning 19 soon.. Haven't really did anything... spectacular in the "sexual" department... However! I am a clean slate! Like... If i do something wrong you can tell me.. Basically.. your teaching me :P
But in the way of Facesitting?
I have had a few previous girlfriends sit on my face... But they like.. "cared" about if I was okay or not... They would get up every few seconds and go "are you okay?!" I have yet to have a girl who wants to sit on my face and not care if I'm okay or not... That aspect is really hot to me ;)
What is the favorite thing you like sexually done to you?
Having a woman tie me down... arms, legs, body, knees etc. So I cannot move.. While she lowers her bottom down onto my face... And if she wishes.. she could get up, turn around and lower my breasts into my face also. :D I wish to get lost in my mistresses cleavage... Would be a dream come true...
Do you have any STDs (Sexually Transmitted Diseases)?
Haha nope
Are you looking for a one night stand, to play for a while, or a long-term Adult relationship?
Well, to play around mostly... But I would not mind making a good friend out of this experience.
Free Space. Say anything you want!
Give me a try ladys! If I'm not what you wanted in a slave... I can still be your friend! <3

This Software Reduces Soft Costs For Solar Installations
According to an NREL report, about half the cost of a residential solar installation is non-hardware soft costs. Reducing those costs is the mission of Sighten, a software tool set for solar installers. Co-Founder and CEO, Conlan O'Leary explains, "To date, most solar companies and financing providers have had to use horizontal software like Microsoft Excel or had to build software of their own. Those approaches were ultimately too unwieldy, inefficient and not scalable." O'Leary says Sighten is on a mission to reduce the soft costs.

Any way you look at it, the sun continues to shine brightly on America's solar energy industry.
Getting homeowners to go solar is difficult - to say the least. It's expensive and time-consuming, and it's hard to predict who will go solar and why. We've been working on reducing this cost and clearing up the mystery.
After more than five months of listening to both pros and cons, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has finally closed the public comment period on its proposed plan to cut carbon emissions from power plants. Now it's time for the EPA to make a good plan even better.
Under the leadership of Governor Deval Patrick, who leaves office in early January, Massachusetts has become a national leader in the deployment of solar energy.
With the National Association of Regulatory Utility Commissioners (NARUC) annual meeting kicking off on Saturday, I wanted to take a moment to welcome the commissioners to San Francisco and talk a little about how important solar power is to the health of our nation, our economy and our grid.

With widespread voter dissatisfaction evident in Tuesday's national and state elections, we need a new approach – and a more collaborative approach – when it comes to solving many of our nation's pressing problems.
When it comes to meeting the United States' future carbon reduction goals, Department of Energy (DOE) Secretary Ernest Moniz says solar energy is "critical" to these plans.
Secretary Moniz offered that acknowledgment as part of his keynote address this week in Las Vegas at Solar Power International (SPI), the largest solar trade show in America, co-sponsored by the Solar Energy Industries Association (SEIA).
What do Walmart, Costco and Apple have in common besides selling cell phones and computers? These iconic brands, and many others like them, are all investing big in solar energy.

I love the lush swathes of ink running and bleeding into one another in Stina Persson's watercolour illustrations. Choosing when and where to let the colours seep and collide, and when to take a more controlled approach to her mark making gives her work a nice mixture of freedom and design.
From her base in Stockholm, Sweden, Stina has worked for a number of big name clients, including Coca Cola, Absolute Vodka, Sony Music, and Atlantic Records. While obviously knowing her way around a set of watercolours, her portfolio also has some lovely work in papercut, photography, and acrylic.

In recent years, sustainable tourism has been gaining popularity with both travel providers and travelers. Whether it's visiting an up-and-coming "ecodestination;" supporting destinations that employ and give back to the local community; or simply minimizing waste, fuel consumption, or use of local resources, today's traveler has much more to think about than just price. Next time you consider a vacation, also think about its cost on the environment and regional community. With a little careful planning, you can minimize the impact of your travels.
What's the difference between ecotourism and sustainable tourism?
Sometimes these terms are used interchangeably, but there is a distinction. According to the Global Development Research Center, ecotourism is "responsible travel to natural areas that conserves the environment and sustains the well-being of local people." Sustainable tourism goes one step further, with a series of clearly established benchmarks to reduce environmental damage and increase conservation, improve contributions to local development, use as little non-renewable resources as possible, help the well-being of local communities, support local ownership, and advocate for biodiversity.
What can travelers do to minimize their environmental footprint and support sustainable tourism?
"Don't look just at the price, but ask hard questions about the area's environmental policy," says Katie Maschman, director of membership and communications for The International Ecotourism Society. "What do they do for local projects? How are they empowering local people? Are local people employed [at the hotel, destination, etc.], and is there advancement in the organization? What types of conservation projects are in place? Do this pre-travel."
Joel Makower, founder of Greenbiz.com, recommends checking to see if a given hotel has been certified as "green." "The hotel and motel industry discovered eco-efficiency several years ago," he states. "Many large chains and independents have aggressively reduced energy use and costs through the use of compact-fluorescent light bulbs, water-saving devices, and the like. Such efforts seem to be accelerating." To check if a hotel you're considering is environmentally friendly, Makower suggests checking the Green Hotels Association, Green Seal, or the California Green Lodging Program.
Bruce Beckham, executive director of Tourism Cares for Tomorrow, advocates a commonsense approach. "It goes back to doing the responsible things your parents taught you: Don't throw refuse on the ground, conserve water, shut off lights, don't leave trash around. Be conscious of laundry requirements. Don't leave your TV on to seem like someone is in the room—that's a lot of baloney. Don't be wasteful."
There are many practices travelers can undertake to make sure they're adhering to sustainable principles. Here are some possibilities:
- Minimize air travel, and carpool or use public transportation as much as possible. "Consider taking the train or bus when traveling within 500 miles," suggests Maschman. "We as Americans often jump on a plane and think nothing of it."
- Visit a destination committed to sustainable tourism. Beckham recommends Costa Rica, Ecuador, and Nicaragua as destinations that offer a multitude of properties and activities that help both the environment and communities. Maschman highlights Alaska; Kerala, India; Micronesia; Peru; St. John, USVI; and Thailand as places where travelers can use their tourism dollars to assist sustainable efforts.
- Seek out hotels that have environmentally friendly practices, and then follow their guidelines. "There are those ubiquitous placards in hotel bathrooms allowing us to choose whether and when to have towels laundered, thus cutting costs and emissions," Makower states. Beckham advocates doing the same for bed sheets: "That way you won't waste water and detergent going in to the atmosphere."
- Take a volunteer vacation to help rebuild or boost a given region. Tourism Cares recently led a trip to Gulf Coast areas devastated by Hurricane Katrina, and regularly creates grants to support conservation and preservation efforts for tourism-related nonprofits. Global Volunteers and Transitions Abroad also offer good resources to research such trips.
- Watch your disposables—reuse what you can, don't toss something away just because you're on vacation.
Checking the sustainability factor
When starting your travel planning, there are plenty of resources you can check to see if a destination, hotel, tour operator, or other provider is committed to sustainable tourism. Here is a list of some good starting points.
- Earthwatch Institute
- International Council of Tourism Partners
- The Nature Conservancy
- Sustainable Travel International, particularly its Eco-directory
- Travelers' Philanthropy
You can also use guidebooks to seek out different options. "Lonely Planet is one of the leading ones," advises Maschman. "They're coming out with a Code Green guidebook specifically for responsible travel. Depending on the success of that, they're hoping to do national and regional guidebooks in that series. Rough Guides and the Moon handbooks do a lot for responsible travel."

Happy Birthday BruShonna!
Today is my eldest daughter's 31st birthday, and this post is dedicated to her.
A lot of people always compliment me about how strong I am, in my disease. This was not always the case. In truth, it is because of my children. Most of us, if we cannot find the strength to live for ourselves, carry on expressly for our children. Upon learning of your diagnosis, to hear those words (or words to the effect): "I'm sorry to tell you, you have tested positive ..." is life changing! Life altering! Most of us long-term survivors can remember everything about that day ... the color of the room, what was on the walls, "that look" of the person telling you. It takes time to work through those words ... to acknowledge and own those words and what they mean. Some of us are successful at it. Some of us are not -- choosing instead to live in a world of denial, drugs and unhealthy behaviors. I admit that I almost fell into that category. I did not go back to drugs and I certainly was not in denial. I had buried my husband (not that I contracted it from him) and witnessed first hand the effects of denial and shame and all those self-stigmatizing words. The feelings behind those words kill. They kill your spirit and can take away the spirit to live. I fell into a deep depression.
A deep depression. I fell into a "woe is me" state of mind. Fell into a crevasse and really got kinda comfortable there. I can't begin to imagine what that must've looked like to Shonna.
Shonna and me.
I don't remember the exact situation which prompted this comment from her, but I must've been having an extended "pity party" ... when she said to me: "you can't continue to use having HIV as an excuse." Wow! Her statement made me mad. Not because she had the nerve to say that to me, but because she was right! I couldn't continue to use having HIV as a reason not to live. She was right, and it took me a minute to pull myself together. Won't say it was easy. Giving up would've been much easier, deciding to live is harder. Shonna helped me. She was my early strength. When she began having friends over, she would let them know that her mother had HIV. If she got the inkling of a feeling that someone was being judgmental or if someone "changed up" after finding out, Shonna had no qualms about dropping them.
Shonna is my firstborn ... Shonna is my "early strength." Gave me joy with her birth, and joy (and yes, sometimes heartache) and strength as she grew/grows into the woman she is today, and the woman she will be tomorrow.
So, happy birthday, Shonna ... and thank you for helping me to live.

I'm scared to pump at work! What can I do?

It doesn't need to be known that you're pumping. Literally you could pump in your car or a bathroom stall if need be, I have done both. While not optimal or even the most sanitary, I felt it was better than nothing. It can take as little as 10 minutes if you're efficient (use a good pump, a hands-free bra so you can hold the pump if you're in a bathroom, and batteries to operate the pump so you can do it anywhere, even without an outlet nearby, like in a bathroom stall). But, I wonder why you are scared to pump at work. If the environment is unfriendly or biased, or unsafe, see if there is anyone you can talk to about it first. I understand you may not be up to it right now, so don't feel like you need to be a crusader. For now, just find a way to pump in private someplace, even just once a day at your lunch hour in a bathroom, and think about taking steps to improve the larger situation when an opportunity arises and/or you are more up to it. Trust me its worth the effort. Good luck!posted 10/16/2007 by WhimmyCostello

Mathilde personalising a scrub for Ken Lim, founder of Ken's Apothecary in Malaysia, which carries Caudalie.
A French skincare brand sets its sights on Asia by opening its first stand-alone store in Hong Kong.
EIGHTEEN years after creating the Caudalie brand, I am delighted to present our first Asian store," says Mathilde Thomas. The tall, elegant Frenchwoman is giving Malaysian press members a tour of the brand new Caudalie store, located on Gough Street in Central, Hong Kong.
As she makes her way through the two-storey boutique – striding in heels and towering over the Asians – Mathilde is articulate and confident in her answers. After all, as the co-founder of Caudalie, she knows her brand inside out.
Where Caudalie is concerned, Mathilde is extremely hands-on, from the store aesthetics to the product conceptualisation.
For the uninitiated, Caudalie is a family-run company created by Mathilde and her husband Bertrand Thomas in 1995. The duo, who graced the Hong Kong store opening last November, make a handsome couple. Also at the event were Ken Lim and Hubert Hoi, respectively founder and business development manager of Ken's Apothecary, which carries Caudalie in Malaysia.
The store's design was inspired by the architecture of the family vineyard of Chateau Smith Haut Lafitte in Bordeaux. The larger-than-life entrance embodies the shape of the cellar – the stone arch underscores the monumental gate that opens to the secrets and stories drawn from the vine.
The visitor's journey in Bordeaux begins as one steps inside the store; the presence of large flat screens show the vineyards for as far as the eye can see. This is intentional, according to Mathilde, so that it makes the visitor feel like one is strolling through a wine-growing estate.
The wall is adorned with rattans, wrapping materials that pay homage to the ancient traditions of the harvest where baskets were used to collect grapes.
In the store's centre, the Barrel Beauty Bar (Mathilde affectionally calls it the "BBB") invites visitors to discover the products by themselves or with a "Vinotherapist" who offers personalised consultations by appointment.
For each collection, Caudalie's products are displayed and explained in an artistic way. "Much like the work of an artisan, the choice of materials and textures used for each range accentuates the characteristics of every ingredient," enthuses Mathilde. Fans of Caudalie know that the brand owes its success to its unique products and Vinotherapie Spas which make use of all the benefits of vines and grapes and allow one to have it all: science, glamour and ethics.
Also, for the first time in Asia, customers can enjoy a selection of five Caudalie treatments. Designed for busy folks who are time-crunched, Beauty Under An Hour provides a quick-fix way to benefit from the spa. Customers can also beautify their nails with nail polish from French brand Kure Bazaar, touted as the first eco-natural nail lacquer.
At the back of the store, Caudalie provides a sensory experience: the Fresh Crushed Cabernet Lab enables customers to create a tailor-made scrub with their choice of natural ingredients. To illustrate this, Mathilde personally attended to all of the journalists' requests, blending the ingredients to their liking and scribbling their names on the jar labels.
Amongst Caudalie's products, Mathilde is especially proud of Premier Cru, which took eight years to develop. She unabashedly calls it the "creme de la creme".
Premier Cru is a blend of the Caudalie patents – Resveratrol-Oleyl, Viniferine and Polyphenols – and active ingredients at their highest concentration to correct all signs of ageing.
"It corrects signs of skin ageing, wrinkles, loss of skin elasticity, dark spots and skin dryness," explains Mathilde. "Wrinkles are smoothed, facial contours are firmer and more defined, and the complexion is radiant and even."
Recently, the ever-busy Mathilde also joined forces with style icon L'Wren Scott to create a collector's edition Beauty Elixir bottle.
The boutique, which opens daily, is located at 3, Gough Street in Central, Hong Kong. In Malaysia, Caudalie is available at Ken's Apothecary outlets and Sephora stores.

text: The first bricks were laid for Sacred Heart Church in 1897. The church was a magnificent house of worship for over seventy years. Listed in the National Register of Historic Places, it is an architectural masterpiece. The building features towering twin spires, graceful arches, fifteen distinctive styles of brickwork, ninety-four stained glass windows, a barreled vaulted ceiling and intricately carved Italian marble altars. Because of the steady move by Augustans to the suburbs, the last mass was held in Sacred Heart July 3, 1971. The church then closed. Through the generous commitment of the Peter S. Knox family, the facility was rescued from sixteen years of vacancy, vandalism, and near destruction. After extensive renovations, the building was reopened in 1987 as the Sacred Heart Cultural Center. This important historic landmark serves as a unique venue for social and cultural events and is rented continuously throughout the year for weddings, concerts and civic functions. The old Rectory building, the former Convent building and the Sacred Heart School building house the administrative offices of local arts groups and other non-profit organizations, including the Greater Augusta Arts Council, Augusta Ballet, Choral Society, Children's Chorale, Community Outreach for the Handicapped, Augusta Opera, Augusta Players, Augusta Symphony, Girls Scouts and the Red Cross. Sacred Heart offers the community a wide range of cultural opportunities. Choral concerts, art exhibits, Christmas events, silent movies and an annual garden festival fill the center with beauty and energy. Tours, both guided and self-led, take place daily, and the courtyard serves as a peaceful place to rest and take in the building's exterior beauty. Visitors explore the building eager to learn about its history, art and architecture. People from all over the world visit Sacred Heart each year. From the magical moments they spend here, it is easily seen that the rewards of this preservation effort are rich and varied.

DETROIT, MI - The Ilitch family is looking to make a major investment in Downtown Detroit.
The family's organization announced Tuesday plans for a "multi-purpose events center" with residential and commercial district somewhere Downtown. The exact location was not released.
The Detroit Free-Press reports the $650 million project would house the Detroit Red Wings. The Detroit News adds there have been rumors of an arena and mall in Downtown Detroit since February.
Ilitch's Olympia Entertainment said in a release that the development hinges on passage of state legislation that allows for use of Downtown Development Authority funds.
The proposed mixed-use development would be funded by a mix of private investment and existing money collected by the city's DDA. No new taxes would be needed to build the development, but the state would need to pass House Bill 5463 to allow the DDA to continue to get money for these kinds of developments.
A Senate committee unanimously approved a bill supporting the arena on Tuesday. It's likely to come up for a vote before the full Senate on Wednesday.
"It's always been my dream to once again see a vibrant downtown Detroit," Ilitch Holdings Chairman Mike Ilitch said in a release. "From the time we bought the Fox Theatre, I could envision a downtown where the streets were bustling and people were energized. It's been a slow process at times, but we're getting there now and a lot of great people are coming together to make it happen. It's going to happen and I want to keep us moving toward that vision."
The new district would create an estimated 5,500 jobs for the events center and about 8,300 new positions for the residential and commercial mixed-use district, the release says. It would have an economic impact of $1.8 billion.
"This plan makes good business sense for two reasons," George W. Jackson, Jr., president and CEO of Detroit Economic Growth Corporation, said in the release. "First, it's not a plan for an isolated, single-use structure. Instead, it builds on the clear successes we've already had downtown integrating districts that feature entertainment, and support commercial, retail and residential development around them. Second, it doesn't impose any new tax burdens; it simply continues a program for retiring debt related to economic development. It's hard to argue with that."
The exact location of the district has not been determined, but will be centrally located in the downtown area.
MLive Capitol reporter Tim Marin contributed to this report.

I need to have my eyes tested they haven't been for yrs. I have never had my eyes dilated and am afraid too. how long does it take for the dilation to go away ? I need to make an appointment but I still haven't. I know how you all feel.
My doctor looked behind my eyes with his light and said everything looked good cause I td him I was scared of a tumour - would he really be able to tell that by looking back there with his light or would I actually have to see an optometrist??

Letter from John
It is June, the sun is out, summer is upon us and Father's Day is around the corner; this June 20th marks the 100th anniversary of Fathers Day!
Fathers are not born, they are made. It is through the crucible of fatherhood that men truly understand what President Obama recently said "to be a good father is the most important job in a man's life". It is an incredibly important job, but often a job many men are ill prepared to fulfill. Faced with the demands on this "important job" many men simply walk away. The most important causes that drive fathers out of their homes include: becoming unemployed, low wages, involvement in domestic violence, substance abuse and addiction, engaging in criminal behavior and incarceration, relationship breakup (divorce, etc.) and mental illness.

Captain America falls victim to Daylight Savings Time
Every time you think, you weaken the nation —Moe Howard
Thursday, May 5, 2016, 16:36:59 (UTC)

12 March 2007
NEW YORK, NY -- Steve Rogers (aka "Captain America") was found dead today in his Manhattan apartment, in what is expected to be the first of many Daylight-Savings-Time-related deaths.
Neighbours were shocked to discover that Rogers, age 66, was the secret identity of the beloved super hero. "I always thought he seemed very fit for someone his age, but Captain America? No way! To think I've been living across the hall from him all of these years, and I had no idea!"
Forensic experts believe that confusion over the early-onset of Daylight Savings Time may have resulted in an accidental overdose of Super-Soldier Serum, causing a fatal shock to his system. "This Super-Soldier Serum is some pretty powerful stuff anyway, but there was simply no way that he could survive a double dose at his age."
Captain America is survived by two goldfish and a cat named Bucky jr.

On May 31, 1998 a tornado near Cooperstown, New York destroyed 512 acres on Milford State Forest, and caused extensive blow down on 150 acres of Hartwick State Forest and Arnold Lake State Forest. These sites are in the Otsego Creek Watershed, which is the primary tributary of the Susquehanna River that feeds into the Chesapeake Bay. The forests were originally planted by state and CCC crews in the 1930s. This area provides habitat for deer, turkey, and ruffed grouse and is used extensively for recreation (cross-country skiing, hiking, horseback riding, hunting) by local residents and tourists. About half the damaged area had enough remaining vegetation to be allowed to regenerate naturally. In 1999 American Forests partnered with the New York Department of Environmental Conservation to complete the first phase of this three year project. 126,000 Norway spruce and 62,100 Japanese larch were planted on 209 acres.
This project was supported by our corporate partner, the Alcoa Foundation.

I'm proud of Square Enix stepping out of there shell they had for the last 10 years to make this sucker. Because you get all the fast action of surviving as a human or blood leeching as a vampire. This pack in particular really lets you get the full benefits of the game while still not giving too much. Its enough to make you addicted and having a blast wondering what happened to the last 48 hours.

As a result of the Affordable Care Act (federal health reform law), Colorado passed three laws to help expand health insurance access to more residents and provide a frame work for more Coloradans to be able to purchase health insurance.
Medicaid Expansion
Senate Bill 13-200 was signed in to law in 2013 and expanded Medicaid coverage for low-income Coloradans to up to 133 percent of the Federal Poverty Level (FPL) (some earning more may still qualify) beginning on January 1, 2014. For more information visit the Department of Health Care Policy and Financing.
Colorado Health Benefit Exchange
Senate Bill 11-200 was signed in to law in 2011 and created what is now the Connect for Health Colorado insurance marketplace. For more information visit Connect for Health Colorado.
Alignment of Health Insurance Laws
House Bill 13-1266, Alignment of Health Insurance Laws, was signed in to law in 2013. The law aligns Colorado health insurance laws with federal law, providing consumers, insurance carriers, agents, and other stakeholders with one set of health insurance rules. It also creates the regulatory environment to support Connect for Health Colorado in becoming a new marketplace for health insurance. For more information visit the Department of Regulatory Affairs, Division of Insurance.

World's Biggest Buildings
Biggest Wooden Building: Great Buddha Hall at Todai-ji Temple, Nara, Japan
of a UNESCO World Cultural Heritage temple complex, the Great Buddha Hall is
187 feet long and 164 feet wide, making it the world's largest wooden building
and big enough to fit a 50-foot-tall sitting Buddha statue. Some say it's the
largest bronze statue of the Vairocana Buddha in the world. todaiji.or.jp —Lyndsey Matthews
Update: A T+L reader wrote to us to point out the wooden blimp hangars on the former Tustin Marine base in California, which are indeed bigger (1,000 feet long and 300 feet wide) than the Great Buddha Hall. But we didn't include the hangars here since they aren't currently accessible to the public. It looks like this will soon change as the Orange County Parks Commission just approved a plan to restore the northern hangar and to transform the land around it into a park.

Siemens Study: Electric Cars More Convenient To Refuel Than Engined Cars
Posted By Laura K. Cowan On August 5, 2011 @ 8:19 am In automotive,Green Transportation,Innovation,News | 1 Comment
German electronics giant Siemens [1] just released the results of a study of Munich EV [2] owners and the results show that drivers in this compact European city find EVs quite suitable for everyday use – not really a big surprise after 10 months and 300,000 kilometers driven. But will the results translate across the pond to the sprawling U.S.? Probably not yet. However, the most interesting thing about the study is that 88% of the 40 BMW Mini-E [3] drivers included found their EVs to be more convenient to charge than it was to refuel a traditional engined car [4]. Siemens did not reveal the results for the 20 MovE (an electric Suzuki Splash conversion) drivers in the study, but reported that the feedback was similar.
The study represents not only progress in creating a network of charging stations [5] at homes and businesses that are convenient to use, but a shifting attitude toward electric cars. After all, if you are confident that your electric car will get suitable range, allowing you to recharge it in the garage at night instead of on the go, going several minutes out of your way to refuel at a gas station suddenly seems incredibly inconvenient. What do you think of this study? Obviously Siemens is motivated to find in favor of EVs for daily use, but we're more interested in this shift toward adopting EVs as the most convenient mode of transport.

Santa Monica News
The process through which identity theft occurs begins with a fraudulent account being opened in someone's name without his or her knowledge. The culprits then make a wire transfer from another account to the fraudulent account, which comes across on one's banking statement as a debit card transaction, said Detective Robert D'Andrea of the Santa Monica Police Department to Canyon News.
"There's two basic parts to this. One, they need to get into your account to do that transaction. Two, they need someplace to liquidate that money," said Detective D'Andrea. "So they take your personal identifying information and open a checking account online where they move the money out of the other person's account into this account that you had no idea that this person opened up in your name."
Not only is there an identity theft issue at stake, but there is also a bigger scheme in play by a "crew somewhere in
The "˜crews' have multiple mechanisms in motion at the same time including burglary schemes, stealing checks and computer work set up to steal people's identities. They wash stolen checks with a solution that removes the ink so they can deposit the new rewritten ones into the fraudulently opened accounts under other people's names.
The realities of identity theft are far-reaching and are not disclosed soon enough to the victims. They can be individuals in the Midwest who will have their names put in the system in
"Everyone should check their credit report at least twice a year," said D'Andrea. "If you're going to use your computer for online banking make sure you have good up-to-date anti-virus software. Also use a secure mailbox that is locked."

Cancun equality on hold
Timothy Kincaid
January 12th, 2012
According to media reports, the Quintana Roo Secretary of State, Lois Gonzalez Flores, has ordered a legal review of the state's marriage law. Until the state's position is determined, same-sex marriages in Quintana Roo (home of Cancun) are put on hold.
Marriage equality comes to straightsville
Timothy Kincaid
December 29th, 2011
Is there a city on the planet that screams "drunk heterosexual American college student" louder than Cancun? But the (admittedly beautiful) Mexican party city is now seeking to expand its appeal. So, due to a quirk in the law, Cancun and its neighbors in Quintana Roo County will begin offering same-sex marriages. (Foxipoo)
Novelo said that this "is something very positive. Besides the social part there are many economic benefits because the gay community generates between 45 and 60 percent more income on top of conventional tourism."
She said gay and lesbian marriages are possible in Quintana Roo, "thanks to a legal gap in the Civil Code," which only makes mention of "people interested in getting married," without specifying their gender.
However, this was more of an accidental tourist attraction. At first Cancun officials just assumed that the law did not allow for same sex marriage. (Latin American Herald)
"We were more than two months going through the procedures in different Quintana Roo Civil Registry Offices – in Cancun, Playa del Carmen, Chetumal and elsewhere – and none would allow us to register," she said.
According to Novelo, in none of those cities would authorities allow the couples to present their legal arguments.
But in Kantunilkin, Judge Maria Rosalia Balam Caamal and other members of the Civil Registry Office decided to give them the chance.
After an initial refusal, and after several days of analysis, "they finally told us that the marriage was possible and that they had no legal arguments to deny it," she said.
Marriages conducted in states in which it is legal in Mexico are recognized throughout the whole country.

There's this guy at work who keep hitting on me. At first it seemed like innocent flirting but it's gotten downright vulgar and creepy. He's 15 years older than me. I'd like to remain friends with him, if possible but he seems to think that when I turn 18 it will be okay that he says completely inappropriate things in the workplace. I'd rather not file a complaint but I will if I try everything you tell me and it doesn't stop. A friend also suggested that I drop his girlfriend a line through email letting her know what's going on. I think that would be kind of mean and may even make him violent. He's really pushy so it scares me a bit. I'd like to know how to convey to him to knock it off without hurting his feelings or getting anyone else involved.
