Rolling back the years: AMANDA PLATELL pins her hopes of looking younger on an agonising new beauty gadget
The scores of tiny needle-sharp spikes are perched on the end of what looks like a kind of surgical mini paint roller. And worst of all, I'm about to have them pushed into the soft skin of my face.
All over my face. Why? Well, because like millions of women of a certain age I am always extremely keen to make the most of my appearance and to continue to look as young as possible for as long as possible.
And if that means being subjected to lots of tiny puncture marks in my face, then so be it. Who ever said looking great would be painless?
No pain, no gain: Amanda Platell undergoes the Derma Roll treatment
The idea of undergoing this kind of treatment was mooted after the summer, when my skin was feeling a bit lacklustre.
In the past couple of years, I've undergone two or three non-surgical treatments to improve the appearance of my face and decolletage, and I felt it was time to try something new.
First, I tried a Broadband Light (laser), then later Microdermabrasion and a Blue Peel (which literally turned me blue and made my skin flake off in strips, so that hot dates were out of the question for at least a week).
I know it might sound daft, but as with anything in life, you have to keep working at it or end up looking like an old prune.
So when my non-invasive cosmetic specialist Lee Garrett told me Angelina Jolie had benefited from using a Derma Roller, I decided it was too intriguing a treatment to ignore.
Reading up on the procedure - it's actually been around in a much cruder form for some years - it seemed too good to be true: hardly painful (just a little 'uncomfortable'), with very little recovery time, back at work in two days, look like Angelina Jolie . . . it's what they call a no-brainer.
But before I try any procedure, I always want to know how long before I can go out on a date, as that's the real acid test.
So I called Lee at the Freedom health clinic and he explained what I'd be letting myself in for.
Happy customer: Amanda thought her skin looked fresher and younger after the treatment, right
First, the good news. The treatment claims to 'significantly improve' the appearance of lines and wrinkles on your face and decollete. I can definitely vouch for the effects of the face, as that's all I had done.
Now the science bit. Thirty minutes before the procedure, your skin is numbed with a topical anaesthetic, a bit like what a dentist uses to deaden an area before the needle is used.
The actual Derma Roller is made up of a small, solid wheel attached to a little stick that propels it backwards and forwards across your face.
The roller is covered with hundreds of minuscule 'micro-medical' needles that penetrate the skin, creating lots of tiny 'wounds'. Your skin responds by producing extra collagen to 'heal' the punctures, and that's what plumps up the skin again and enhances the natural blood supply - so you get a natural 'glow'.
Looks like torture: But using the Derma Roller is described as 'uncomfortable' not painful
Think of the rollers that groundsmen use on bowling greens to pierce the turf after it's gone all hard in the sun, so the rain can sink in and moisten it up, and you get the picture.
Most non-surgical treatments work on the same principle of superficially damaging or causing minor trauma to the skin, and forcing the body to heal itself to stimulate the body's natural collagen reproduction.
And as we all know, collagen is God's gift to good skin. It is destroyed by age and the sun, and naturally reduces by one per cent a year from the day you are born.
Aged 50, ladies, you've lost around half of it. The Derma Roller also tightens the skin and reduces pigmentation and sun marks.
The actual treatment involves the clinician rolling the little wheel backwards and forwards across your face in small sections - and in fact that 'uncomfortable' promise turned out to be true. The upper lip area is the only part I found painful.
The Derma Roller was originally devised to remove deep acne scars and is brilliant for those.
It is also supposed to be an excellent treatment for stretch marks on thighs and tummies, but I can't vouch for those applications.
So you are in and out in about an hour, and afterwards it will look as though you have sunburn on your face, but it really is not painful.
Inspiration: Angelina Jolie is said to use the treatment to keep her skin looking youthful
Lee put some oxygen cream called Chiroxy on my face after the treatment to take the sting out and reduce the redness. By the morning, the flame-grill look is dramatically reduced - and virtually gone by the second morning.
There was a slight peeling effect on the skin in the most badly damaged areas, but nothing like the severity of a serious chemical peel.
So, do I look like Angelina Jolie? Well, I already had the fat lips, but now my skin looks so much fresher and younger, more line free and tighter without looking taught.
And I have discovered that there are also 'at-home' Derma Rollers you can use, which have a less dramatic effect but do brighten the skin noticeably.
But beware of the products sold online, as they are often not sterile and the metal they're made from is not medical grade, so it can bend and tear the skin.
The homecare kits sold to patients by proper practitioners after treatment are safe, because they are of medical standard and the needles very fine - 0.02mm. Using one of those yourself means you can perform your own top-up between clinic treatments.
The Derma Roller course takes three sessions every four to six weeks, depending on how damaged your skin is, and costs £300 per session.
Now, that's a lot of money during a recession, but let's face it, would you rather go without three leather handbags this year, or look like one?

Sign-ups for new Disney 10K open Tuesday
ANAHEIM – Disney is adding a second 10K race to its slate of popular runs at the Disneyland Resort with slots going on sale next week.
The 10K will be part of the Tinker Bell Half Marathon Weekend on Jan. 16-19 that will also include a 5K run and kids' events.
Slots, which go on sale Tuesday, usually fill up quickly: Last year's Tinker Bell Half Marathon spaces sold out in one month.
About 10,000 spots are available for the Tinker Bell 10K, which will mostly go through Disney property, said Tony Morreale, a Disney Sports spokesman.
About 21,000 people participated in this year's Tinker Bell Half Marathon weekend, aimed at female runners but open to anyone.
The first local Disney 10K will traverse through Disneyland, Disney California Adventure and city streets on Aug. 31 as part of the Disneyland Half Marathon weekend.
Nicole Abejon of Irvine ran her first half marathon in September. Now, she plans on doing both the 10K and half-marathon this coming Labor Day weekend and again for the Tinker Bell weekend in January.
"I can't wait for both the Disneyland Race Weekend and the Tinkerbell Race weekend," Abejon wrote.

The Said Business School has clear directions for this: http://www.sbs.ox.ac.uk/school/hire-our-facilities/delegate-information/directions-egrove-park
It's absurd to ignore them, ridiculously prodigal to hire private transport - and spectacularly offensive, or just plain insular, to assume public buses here are unsafe. Get the public bus from the airport (no-one in Oxford thinks communing with the masses is beneath them, and the correct website is http://airline.oxfordbus.co.uk/timetables/airline-heathrow) to Oxford bus station, then a taxi (about £8). It's tricky to get taxis at the earlier bus stops in Oxford, but central Oxford's crowded at night with people and taxis. If you're nervous about looking for a a cab around 2200, you'll laugh at yourself afterwards - but email Said for reassurance if you need to.

Meant to add -- travelhorizons is certainly living up to his email address . . . 'Luxury Travel'
Recommending a London car service (or ANY car service for that matter) for a LHR to Oxford journey is silly and more than "luxury" - a huge waste of money.
Report Abuse
Good point.
A number of serious Oxford businesses now ban even their global CEOs from using car services from LHR: they're required to use the bus like ordinary Nobel prizewinners, Peers and other such lowlifes.
Even vulture capitalists use it: it's their one chance a year of getting in touch with ordinary people. Berkeley (Luxury Traveller's home), where the major economic activity is funded entirely by taxpayers, obviously thinks it's too grand for such things.
The good Bishop the university's named after must be turning in his frugal grave. Which the bus passes.
Report Abuse
Thanks, Am aware UK is civilised, only checking it continues to be so, with all you good folks.
Report Abuse
We took the Oxford bus direct from Heathrow--it was very easy to find, the bus was comfortable and the ride was relaxing after being cooped up in a plane that long.

Which travel camera?
Jul 29, 2014
hi there,
I'm looking for a good travel (compact) camera, with decent zoom, but quality photos and fast lens.
I've looked at the Panasonic FZ200 which handles well and i like the frame.
Have also looked at the Canon powershot SX700 which i'm told has slightly better specs but isn't as nice to handle.
Does anyone have any suggestions or preference based on your use?
This question has not been answered yet.

Silver Machine Lyrics
Artist: Hawkwind
I just took a ride in a Silver Machine
And I'm still feeling mean
Do you want to ride
See yourself going by
Other side of the sky
Well I got a silver machine
I've got a Silver Machine...
It flies
Sideways through time
It's an electric line
To your Zodiac sign
It flies out of a dream
It's antiseptically clean
You're gonna know where I've been
I've got a Silver Machine...

Bloody YOUNG people!
Saturday, February 25, 2012
You know - those late teens and twenties who have unlined skin and perfect bodies and whiter than white teeth that swagger down the street with their Ipods pumping out Pitbull (my favourite at the moment but probably not that young lol) and more likely pumping Miss PJ and Dum Diddy.
How DARE they take their perfectly shaped butts and lithe lean bodies for granted - grrrr!
Yes I am grieving in a pouty lipped way (grumpy 50 year old way not sexy Abecrombie & Fitch sexy male model way :D) about not being 21 and gorgeous - I am sure we all go through it.
I arrived at the place I did the 21 day water fast at 12 or so years ago yesterday. As I walked in both me and my inner (that guy who has been protecting me so much he protected me into being 140 kilos - long story) both went "Ohhh - this is feeling like Great Aunt Matilda's Lounge Room"
A place like this and water fasting means you spend a lot of time away from people - they have GREAT organic vegetarian meals and meal times are where you meet people....but I wasn't eating food so it meant 21 days of solace in great aunts house.
After spending 2 weeks with family and friends I realised that I had been ACHINGLY missing human contact after 9 months of being alone and the thought of just sitting for 21 days waiting for the cleanse to do its thing felt too static, too inactive, almost like I was just handing over the reins to my body and turning into a vegetable. And the rooms are bland white walled no artwork bland - why would I pay for THAT?
Within hours of checking in I started to research alternatives and found what is almost a Biggest Loser thing. 4 weeks (or longer) of great food, lots of exercise and a group personal trainer.
Let me say I KNOW I am very lucky to be able to just go and do this - so many people struggle to just live and feed and educate their kids and battle their weight so I KNOW I am fortunate to be able to finally (after 35 years) make some major changes... I feel very lucky...
After I lose 60 kilos I will be investing in plastic surgery to make me look creepily 21 so I can swagger down the street with my Ipod and cleverly concealed walker lol.
Well maybe not - but I plan to feel SEXY at the end of this!
Spark on!

i hear you. i turn 55 tomorrow and i have never had the body i have dreamed of. i watch my children eat such unhealthy things and yet they are svelte and muscular. seems so unfair doesn't it? when puberty hit me.. so did the weight and it has been a battle ever since. now as my body shifts and weight leaves, the body is sagging... just so sad.
NuYu looks so wonderful. I try to create retreats like that in my home, but sometimes it is not quite the same when you have to clean house and collect the garbage on garbage day
Enjoy your time.... you so deserve it!

Holy...wow! Um, that place looks great, but I'm thinking that isn't ever going to be in my budget.
I'm glad you can do something like this, though. Hell, you earned the money and so you get to spend it however you want! I chose my four kids and a lower-enlisted military life; you chose a much more lucrative career and living vicariously through friends and family instead of having rug-rats of your own. Nothing wrong with either course of action.
I am frustrated by those dang young people too!
I'm only 26, but I have never had the youthful body you describe. But by the time I'm 30 I plan to have an inkling of what it's like.
You're going to be sexy as hell, my friend!

Chevrolet Performance 2012 Catalog Featuring COPO Camaro Now Available
Chevy gearheads can rejoice. Chevrolet Performance has just released its first ever catalog, and it's chock-full of performance and racing parts, engines and accessories for Chevrolet cars and trucks. It can be picked up at Chevrolet Performance dealerships (you'll recognize it by the white Camaro on the cover) or downloaded from GMPerformanceParts, or those who prefer a hard copy can register through RacingJunk.com to have it shipped to their homes. Most of the items in the catalog can be bought online or through dealers.
The cover features the COPO Camaro concept vehicle that was shown off at the 2011 SEMA show in October. There's an article on it in the magazine, with several strong hints that GM might actually put it into production, initially as a limited run of 50 cars. It wouldn't be road legal and is meant, as was the 1969 original, for racing. They'd use the body from a production Camaro SS, with a built-in roll cage, custom suspension, racing bucket seats, and a choice of two engines, a 327 or a 427 cubic inch. COPO branding will be prominent. You can have any color you want as long as it's white. If you're interested, there's a mailing list you can sign up for and they'll let you know when/if they decide to build it. They also tell you what parts you need if you want to build your own.

Hypertension/High Blood Pressure Health Center
Diagnosing High Blood Pressure
In this article
Hypertension, or high blood pressure, is often called a "silent disease" because you usually don't know that you have it. There may be no symptoms or signs. Nonetheless, it damages the body and eventually may cause problems like heart disease.
Therefore, it's important to regularly monitor your blood pressure, especially if it has ever been high or above the "normal" range, or if you have a family history of hypertension.
Recommended Related to Hypertension
Atherosclerosis and High Blood Pressure
About one in three adults in the U.S. have high blood pressure. More than 90% of adults who survive into their 80s will develop elevated blood pressure -- also called hypertension -- and about 50% of people will have it by age 60. Although high blood pressure is common, it's not harmless. High blood pressure is a major cause of atherosclerosis, the artery-clogging process that leads to heart attacks and strokes. Blood pressure higher than 140/90 is seen in: 69% of people who have their first...
Read the Atherosclerosis and High Blood Pressure article > >
Measuring Blood Pressure
Blood pressure is most often measured with a device known as a sphygmomanometer, which consists of a stethoscope, arm cuff, dial, pump, and valve.
You can get your blood pressure measured by a health care provider, at a pharmacy, or you can purchase a blood pressure monitor for your home. Home blood pressure readings can be especially helpful in diagnosing and monitoring hypertension because they represent what is happening in the real world (rather than just at the doctor's office). But before these numbers can be relied on for treatment decisions, it is important to bring the monitor in to your doctor's office and have it checked against the office readings for accuracy. Blood pressure is recorded as two numbers: the systolic and diastolic pressures.
- Systolic blood pressure is the maximum pressure during a heartbeat.
- Diastolic blood pressure is the lowest pressure between heartbeats.
Blood pressure is measured in millimeters of mercury (mm Hg) and is written systolic over diastolic (for example, 120/80 mm Hg, or "120 over 80"). According to the most recent guidelines, a normal blood pressure is less than 120/80 mm Hg. Hypertension is blood pressure that is greater than 140/90. For people over age 60, high blood pressure is defined as 150/90 or greater. Prehypertension consists of blood pressure that is 120 to 139/80 to 89.
Blood pressure may increase or decrease, depending on your age, heart condition, emotions, activity, and the medications you take. One high reading does not mean you have high blood pressure. It is necessary to measure your blood pressure at different times, while you are resting comfortably for at least five minutes. To make the diagnosis of hypertension, at least three readings that are elevated are usually required.

Multi-tasking is rapidly becoming a necessity in software development today. All major operating systems support some form of multi-tasking, and as costs come down it is becoming common for high end systems to incorporate multiple processors.
Multi-Tasking and Threads
At its most basic level, multi-tasking allows multiple programs to be run at the "same" time. The best way to visualize this is to think of each application as running on its own processor.
It would be quite inefficient for each application to have a dedicated processor. A major function of most modern operating systems is to make each application share access to processors by preempting one application to let another one run. Figure 1 illustrates the difference between processor sharing and non-sharing.
Just like programs can run concurrently, pieces of the same program can run concurrently. This ability is known as threading and it is what Java supports. Figure 2 illustrates how a program can be threaded.
Threads are becoming more popular because they are faster to set up, often require less memory and allow better encapsulation.
Commonly, it is the responsibility of the operating system to schedule and preempt each thread, just like it preempts each application. This usually leads to platform-specific methods of multi-threading.
Platform-Independent Threading
Most programming languages rely on operating system-specific calls to support multi-threading. For example: C/C++ programs in Unix often use fork() and Window 95/NT C/C++ programs often use CreateThread(). This can cause a lot of headaches when trying to port an application.
Since one of Java's goals is to "write once, run anywhere", the Java language specification contains support for threading. In theory, this allows multi-threaded programs to be run on any platform which supports Java without concern for how the Java Virtual Machine (JVM) actually implements the threading.
Most JVMs don't actually use native operating system threads to implement threading. They implement their own task scheduling and context switching algorithms within the JVM. This makes the JVM easier to port from one operating system to another. However, Sun is going to be releasing a JVM for the Sun Solaris SPARC which uses native threads to implement Java threads. Having the JVM use native threads can be a real benefit to Java applications because of gained responsiveness to other running processes. Best of all, a Java application doesn't have to do anything special to make use of benefits supplied by different implementations.
Introduction to Java Threading
Java is one of the few common-programming languages that actually supports threading in the language itself.
Java defines a Thread class and a Runnable interface that can be used to define a thread object. Take a look at the Basic Thread example that derives from the Thread class. It creates two threads that display messages asynchronously.
Run this example multiple times and under different JVMs and see how and when the messages are displayed.
Depending on the speed of your machine and the JVM you are using, it may appear that the threads are not being preempted. For example: All of the first thread's messages may be printed followed by all of the second thread's messages.
This usually happens when running on a fast computer or using Just-In-Time (JIT) Java. The reason for this is that one of the sample threads may actually finishing printing all of its messages before it is scheduled for preemption. Try making the threads take longer to finish by increasing MAX_INDEX to 100 (or more) and see what happens.
Runnable Interface
The Basic Thread example derives from the Thread class to create a thread object; However, a class may implement the Runnable interface instead.
Implementing the Runnable interface is useful when a class needs to be multi-threaded and also be derived from another class. Remember that Java supports only single inheritance.
To change the Basic Thread example to use a Runnable interface, change the CountThread definition to:
public class CountThread implements Runnable Then, change the CountThread object declarations to:
CountThread countRunnable1 =
new CountThread( "Thread 1" );
CountThread countRunnable2 =
new CountThread( "Thread 2" ); Thread countThread1 =
new Thread( CountRunnable1 ); Thread countThread2 =
new Thread( countRunnable2 );
This works because the Thread class supports a special constructor that accepts a Runnable interface. Therefore, we can create a thread based on a Runnable interface. The only method that the interface defines is run().
start() and run()
By calling a Thread object's start() method a Java application tells the JVM to start a separate thread of execution. The JVM will only allow a Thread object to create a single thread of execution for the lifetime of the object. Subsequent calls to an object's start() method will be ignored if the thread associated with the object has terminated; otherwise, the JVM will cause the start() method to throw illegalThreadStateException.
Once the JVM sets up the separate thread of execution it will call the object's run() method from within the newly created thread. The run() method of a Java Thread is like the thread's "main" method. Once started by the JVM, the thread exists until the run() method terminates.
The stop() method is used to stop the execution of a thread before its run() method terminates.
However, the use of stop() is discouraged because it will not always stop a thread. The stop() method is a synchronized method and as such will not stop other synchronized method blocks. This means that a deadlocked thread can't be stopped, which isn't very useful. Synchronized methods are discussed in the section on monitors.
The best way to stop a thread is to let the run() method exit gracefully by using proper synchronization techniques like the ones that follow.
Join is a simple synchronization mechanism that allows one thread to wait for another to finish. In the Basic Thread example, the main application waits for the threads that it started to finish. Note that the order in which threads are joined is not important.
Thread Synchronization
Writing multi-threaded applications usually involves much more than just starting and stopping threads. Usually some form of thread synchronization is required at key points in time. There are two main types of synchronization that Java supports: Monitors and Mutexes.
The term monitor comes from the monolithic monitor (more commonly known today as a kernel) found in operating systems. A fundamental responsibility of an operating system is to protect system resources from unrestricted access, much like a monitor protects the internal data and methods of an object from unrestricted access by other threads.
Each Java object has a monitor and only one thread at a time has access to that monitor. When more than one thread wants access to an object's monitor, they must wait until that monitor is released. Notice that the Thread object itself has nothing to do with implementing monitors. Monitors are inherent in every Java object, and every Java object has its own independent monitor.
Java defines the keyword "synchronized" to gain access to an object's monitor. There are two ways to use synchronize: either by method or by block.
To allow only one thread at a time to access an object's method, use the "synchronized" keyword in the definition of the method.
public synchronized void sem_wait( String currentThreadName )
// Statements here are under protection of the object"s monitor.
// Each instance of the object will allow only one thread at a time access to the method.
To allow only one thread at a time access to a portion of an object's method, use the block form of synchronized within the method (see Listing 5).
Notice that the block form of "synchronized" takes an object as a parameter. The monitor associated with the given object is used to perform the synchronization.
Although we can specify individual methods and blocks to be synchronized, there is still only a single monitor per object. Once a thread enters a synchronized section of an object it has acquired that object's monitor. Since the object's monitor is now acquired, all other threads trying to acquire that monitor will have to wait until it is released. The monitor will be released when the one thread that entered the object's synchronized section leaves the section.
While a thread has acquired an object's monitor, it will immediately succeed in subsequent attempts to acquire that same object's monitor. This makes sense because the purpose of monitors is to allow only a single thread access to some section of code. Since the thread already has access to the monitor it is safe to let that thread execute the code. This is very useful because it means that an object's synchronized methods may call each other without fear of delay or deadlocking.
If for some reason a thread acquires an object's monitor and doesn't release it, the waiting threads will wait "forever". This is called a deadlock and can occur very easily. Deadlocks can be hard to find in code and may not show up under testing depending on the timing of the threads. It is recommended that a monitor be used to protect only what is absolutely necessary for correct behavior. Use the synchronized block mechanism to limit the scope of the monitor. In addition, don't call any methods within a synchronized block except the class Object methods (wait, notify,). This will greatly reduce the chances of deadlocks.
Remember that monitors are based on objects so be careful when using references to objects. Each reference to an object uses the monitor of the object being referenced.
One complexity of monitors is that static methods may also be synchronized. However, a static method is not associated with an object. To handle this, all static synchronized methods of a class share a single monitor that works independently of an object's monitor. When a synchronized method calls a static synchronized method, it must acquire another monitor (the one associated with all static synchronized methods of the class).
Mutexes are used when two or more threads can't interleave certain types of operations. Thus, one sequence must be completed before the other is started. The join() method, used in the Basic Thread example, was a simple fixed use mutex that waits for the thread being joined to stop.
The generic mutex methods: wait(), notify() and notifyAll() are available to all Java objects because they are declared in the Object Java class. These methods allow any thread to wait for any other thread to complete some activity. When the activity is complete, the thread notifies one (or all if notifyAll is called) waiting threads.
The thread that calls an object's wait() method will be suspended and any monitors the thread had acquired will be released. The thread will remain suspended until it is notified and the monitors needed by the thread can be reacquired.
In order for a thread to call an object's wait() method, it must own the object's monitor.
notify() and notifyAll()
A thread calls an object's notify() method when it wants to let a thread waiting on that object know that some activity has been completed. A waiting thread will be awakened and put back in the queue of running threads. However, the awakened thread still has to reacquire all monitors that it released when it called wait().
The thread that calls an object's notify() or notifyAll() method must have possession of the object's monitor.
When notifyAll() is called, all threads that are currently waiting on the object's monitor will be a awakened.
One of the problems with Java Mutexes is that notify will only wake up threads that are currently waiting. This can cause synchronization headaches because one must make sure that a thread waits before notify is called. In other words, the notification is lost when there is no one waiting. While not directly supported by Java, a semaphore can be emulated to solve this problem.
Just like mutexes, semaphores are used when two or more threads can't interleave certain types of operations. Thus, one sequence must be completed before the other is started. However, a semaphore contains more state information that allows it to overcome the limitations of Java mutexes.
We can emulate the most common form of semaphore, called a blocked-set semaphore, by using monitors and mutexes. The blocked-set semaphore has the following definition shown in Listing 4. A single thread awakens one suspended thread.
See the example Semaphore.java for an implementation of this semaphore.
Notice that we will only call notify() if we have first done a wait(), and we will remember when we called sem_signal() without wait() being called.
Putting it all Together
One of the classic concurrent programming problems is the producer/consumer problem. It involves two threads: one producer thread and one consumer thread. Take a look at the producer/consumer example.
The producer produces integer numbers and prints a message that states an integer was produced. The consumer consumes an integer number, supplied by the producer, and prints a message that states an integer was consumed. When the consumer receives the product (number) 0 it knows the producer is done and quits.
A small integer item buffer is used so that the producer can make multiple products without having to wait for the consumer to consume them.
The example just produces integer numbers to keep the example concise. However, the producer/consumer principle can be used to solve many real world problems. A producer could search for files and produce found filenames to a consumer window. A producer could do database queries that send results to a report window. There are countless concurrency problems that may be solved with this technique.
Java developers not only get a great object-oriented language, but also get a language that supports multi-threading. However, just like good object-oriented development requires a different way of thinking, good threaded programming requires a different way of thinking - with the rewards just as great.
Be creative and remember that all aspects of Java can be threaded to solve everyday problems: Windowing interfaces (AWT), saving and loading files (File I/O) and reusable components (Beansª).
