If you are interested in booking a single supplement please contact us to check availability.
Sa-wat dee! Welcome to Thailand.
Your adventure begins with a welcome meeting at 6pm on Day 1.
Please look for a note in the hotel lobby or ask the hotel reception where it will take place. If you can't arrange a flight that will arrive in time, you may wish to arrive a day early so you're able to attend. We'll be happy to book additional accommodation for you (subject to availability). If you're going to be late, please inform the hotel reception. We'll be collecting your insurance details and next of kin information at this meeting, so please ensure you have all these details to provide to your leader.
Bangkok has so much to offer those with time to explore - why not take a riverboat to Chinatown and explore the crowded streets, uncover the magnificent Grand Palace and the Temple of the Emerald Buddha, wander down the tourist mecca of Khao San Road, or indulge in some Thai massage?
Explore the magnificent Grand Palace and the Temple of the Emerald Buddha.
Accommodation: Hotel (1 nt)
It's a long drive from Bangkok to Siem Reap (approx. 8-9 hours by private bus, including border crossing and lunch)
The small but expanding town of Siem Reap is the gateway to Angkor. It's markets are a great place to shop or to try some cheap, delicious street food.
Visit the world-famous Angkor complex. These temples were built between the 9th and 13th centuries when the Khmer empire was the pre-eminent influence in South-East Asia. The temples were believed to represent the cosmic world and were set in perfect balance, symmetry and composition. The intricately carved bas-reliefs and architectural designs are mind-blowing and there are spectacular photographic opportunities at any time of day - watching a sunrise or sunset is a must. The ruins are scattered over an area of some 160 sq km, but the main cluster of temples is close to Siem Reap so you'll have plenty of time to fully appreciate the great archaeological sites of Angkor Wat, the Bayon and the jungle-covered Ta Prohm.
Depending on the season there may be a chance to visit Tonle Sap Lake for a look at local life.
If you feel like some adventure you could do the optional flight of the Gibbon which is a ziplining course which gives you a birds eye view of the rainforest with an adrenalin rush thrown in.
Accommodation: Hotel (3 nts)
Travel by public bus to Kompong Cham (approx 5 hours)
This peaceful town was once an important trading hub and is now a great opportunity to experience life in small-town Cambodia.
Explore the serene 11th-century Wat Nokor.
Hire a bike to explore the rural island of Koh Paen, linked to Kompong Cham by an elaborate bamboo bridge (passable only in the dry season, take a ferry in the wet). The locals here make their living fishing, growing tobacco and sesame so it's a good place to go for a closer look at Cambodia's cottage industry.
A little further afield are the twin 'mountain temples' of Phnom Pros and Phnom Srei.
Accommodation: Hotel (1 nt)
Catch a public bus to the capital city of Phnom Penh (approx 3 hrs).
Phnom Penh, Cambodia's capital, is set on a major junction of the Mekong and Tonle Sap rivers and boasts some fine examples of French-inspired architecture.
Head out to the Choeung Ek Memorial, where a stupa made up of some 8,000 human skulls marks the site of the infamous Killing Fields. This was the execution ground for the torture victims of Tuol Sleng and standing in this peaceful setting it's almost unthinkable to imagine that to date nearly 9000 corpses have been exhumed from the area.
Learn about a brighter period in Cambodian history with a visit to the Royal Palace and Silver Pagoda.
Explore Wat Phnom, a peaceful temple situated on a hill for which the city is named. According to legend, a 14th-century woman named Penh found sacred Buddhist objects in the nearby river and placed them here on the small hill.
Check out the National Museum. Housed in a beautiful traditional building, it contains many outstanding examples of Khmer craftsmanship.
Take in the sites by cyclo! Tours generally take in the following: central market, US Embassy, Wat Phnom, Mekong river front, independence monument, finishing at the Royal Palace.
If you're in the mood for shopping, stop in at the art deco-designed Psar Thmei (Central Market) which is a great place for browsing, or travel out to Psar Tuol Tom Pong (the Russian Market) for the best range of local souvenirs.
Accommodation: Hotel (1 nt)
Travel by private bus into rural Cambodia (approx 3 hrs).
Our homestay is a wonderful opportunity to witness everyday Cambodian life and in the evening we enjoy a traditional-style dinner. Facilities are basic and multishare with mattresses, bedding and mosquito nets all provided.
A private bus takes us to Sihanoukville (approx 3 hrs).
Named for the Cambodian royal family, Sihanoukville has miles of beaches and warm, welcoming people.
Take a boat to one of the nearby islands, where you're free to enjoy a barbecue lunch and relax among swaying palms, white sands and blue waters.
Make a trip out to the Ream National Park - 21 hectares of coastal mangrove forest, which hosts a great variety of animal and bird species.
Accommodation: Hotel (2 nts)
Take a local bus to Phnom Penh (approx 4 hrs).
Why not indulge in a traditional massage at the Seeing Hands Massage parlours - they are some of the best in the city and your patronage supports the visually impaired masseurs, whose years of training are sure to work wonders on muscle aches and pains.
Accommodation: Hotel (1 nt)
It's a long journey by local bus to Ho Chi Minh City (approx 6-7 hrs)
Formerly known as Saigon, Ho Chi Minh City is characterised by a vast array of sights and sounds, and is a fascinating blend of old and new, East and West. The huge number of people rushing about their daily lives in Vietnam's largest city gives it a dynamic atmosphere and the French influence is evident in the excellent baguettes and coffee on offer. Much of city life takes place on the busy streets lined with shops, stalls and vendors, who have their wares spread out on the footpath and sell everything from soup to sophisticated electronics.
If you have extra time in Ho Chi Minh City ensure you make a visit to the Reunification Palace - formerly known as the Presidential Palace, it was the site of South Vietnam's surrender in April 1975, and the War Remnants Museum - originally opened in September 1975, it displays old military equipment and other related items from the Vietnam War. In the courtyard you'll find some larger exhibits including a F5A fighter and a UH1-Huey helicopter
There are no activities planned for the final day and you are able to depart the accommodation at any time.

A necessary bugbear of adventure travel, visas can appear complicated, costly and confusing to apply for. Imaginative Traveller recommend applying for visas with a professional visa service who can guide you though the process and take care of lodging and collecting your passport with multiple embassies, so we have teamed up with The Visa Machine.
The Visa Machine 'live and breathe' visas and have the expertise to provide current and accurate information and arrange the correct visas for your trip, quickly and at a good price.
Please click here for more information.
We strongly recommend you visit your doctor to discuss health requirements for your trip. They will advise you regarding the appropriate inoculations. In some places anti-malaria medication may also be required. Some vaccines need to be administered a few weeks before departure so allow yourself plenty of time. Obtain a certificate of vaccination and carry this with you on this trip. A dental check up is also highly recommended.
Every traveller is different and therefore spending money requirements will vary. Some travellers may drink more than others while other travellers like to purchase more souvenirs than most. Please consider your own spending habits when it comes to allowing for drinks, shopping, participating in optional activities, and tipping. Please also remember the following specific recommendations when planning your trip.
You will need to take cash to cover all additional expenses not included in your tour cost. These include food, drinks, optional sightseeing, tips, laundry, souvenirs and possible delays. If in doubt, bring more than you think you will need. It is always useful to carry an additional amount for emergencies. If there is a medical emergency you are sometimes required to pay at the time; providing your claim falls within the scope of your policy, your insurance company will make reimbursement later.
You must have extensive travel insurance as a condition of booking with us, and without evidence of a valid policy you won't be allowed to start your trip. Please click here for more information.
Responsible tourism is at the heart of Imaginative Traveller. For 20 years we have taken customers to places around the world in social and environmentally responsible manner, ensuring everyone involved respects and maintains the natural and often delicate balance of the destination.
As travellers ourselves we are well aware of the impact that tourism can have and whilst economic gain from tourism is often fundamental to a country, it should never be at the expense of its culture or the environment. It is our aim to provide journeys that have minimal negative and maximum positive impact on the places we visit. We do not believe that, as visitors, we should impose our own cultures on others; rather that we should experience foreign cultures and appreciate them for what they are.
We believe giving something back is essential. We therefore work with our customers and the people we visit to ensure the benefits go directly to contribute to local cultures and environmental conservation. This is not only good the communities we visit but it also gives our travellers more enriched adventures.
For further information about responsible travel please click here.
Tet is Vietnam's New Year festival, held annually in late January or early February based on the lunar calendar. While this can be a fascinating time to travel and experience this event, expect some shop closures and busier than usual local transport. Opening hours at some tourist sites may also be affected or closed. Although we make all reasonable efforts to avoid disruption, a flexible approach from the traveller is appreciated.
During public holidays and festival periods in Cambodia many businesses may close, transport may be extremely busy and travel times may increase. During these times please be patient and consider these moments as an opportunity to interact with the locals. Particularly worth noting are Khmer New Year (3 days in mid-April), Pchum Ben (3 days in early October) and Water Festival (3 days in late November).
The Cambodia/Thailand land border is occasionally closed due to flooding. If this is the case, we may need to alter the itinerary and fly - at the travellers expense.
During the rainy months (approx. June to October), our mode of transport can be changed at short notice due to weather conditions.
At Imaginative Traveller we always aim to provide accurate information for our travellers. Unfortunately information such as the price of optional activities is occasionally subject to change, and this means that we are constantly revising our trip notes. In order to ensure that you have the most up to date information for your trip we suggest that you check the trip notes for your tour around one month before departure.
Our tailor made adventure holidays will truly inspire and delight the senses and will live in your memory for ever.more info

Sen. Harry Reid's Biggest SOTU Fear? Falling Asleep
WASHINGTON – Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D., Nev.) has sat through a lot of State of the Union speeches. His goal Tuesday night: don't get caught nodding off by President Barack Obama.
Talking with reporters Tuesday afternoon, Mr. Reid said he'd been dealing with a case of the flu and that the only thing he was afraid of was that Mr. Obama might say something to wake him up.

"The only thing that would ever trouble me is if he said 'Reid, stop dozing off'," Mr. Reid said.
A number of lawmakers each year can be expected to become distracted or nod off during the speech. Mr. Reid acknowledged he'd dozed off a few times, though he was quick to make clear it was "not during the Obama years of course."
He said he was optimistic it wouldn't happen this year, because White House staff told him Mr. Obama wasn't planning on setting any records with the length of Tuesday's speech.
"I understand the speech isn't going to be very long," he said.

In this study, researchers looked at the role of zinc supplementation in treating infection and reducing death rates in 700 infants with serious infection who were between 7 and 120 days old. The infants were randomly assigned to receive zinc sulphate (10 mg of elemental zinc) or placebo daily, and they were evaluated for improvement for a study period of 21 days. All infants received antibiotic treatment.
Results showed that the zinc group had a 40% reduced risk of treatment failure compared with the placebo group. Zinc supplementation was more effective in children who had diarrhea compared with those who did not.
The study authors comment, "A reduced risk of treatment failure will shorten time in hospital, lower use of high-generation antimicrobials and treatment cost, and possibly reduce mortality." Further research is needed to understand the role of zinc supplementation in serious infection.

Year-end tax tips
SIKESTON -- With 2007 weeks away, the tax season is just lurking around the corner. And tax professionals insist it's never too early to prepare for filing, which begins Jan. 2.
"Don't forget all the tax credits you're eligible for when preparing to file," said Phil Cluck, owner of Fax Tax in Sikeston.
The type of credits available is so broad, Cluck said. Taxpayers can receive credits on education, children, energy, earned income, adoption, elderly, etc.
"Make sure you're getting everything you're qualified to get and by doing that, see a qualified tax professional," Cluck said.
Karen Martin, office manager of H&R Block in Sikeston, said in January, watch the mail closely for incoming tax documents. Keep them in one place so they will be ready when the time comes to file the 2006 return.
"It's a good idea to save all tax-related documents -- even if you think they won't affect the current year's return," Martin said.
Individuals who will be receiving a W-2 from your employer should save their last paycheck stub to make sure the year-to-date figures match what has been reported on the W-2, Martin said. Notify your employer of any discrepancies, she added.
Anyone who has moved since they started working for an employer in 2006 should make sure their employer has their new address so their w-2 won't be delayed, Martin said.
"For someone who has reached the age of 70-1/2, it's good to make sure you take the required minimum distribution from your IRAs or other retirement plans. If you don't, you may owe a 50 percent penalty on the amount you should have taken plus ordinary income tax," Martin said.
Those eligible to deduct their IRA contributions can make traditional IRA contributions to decrease their 2006 income, Martin said.
"For people who are employees, it's a good time to come in and look at your withholding to make sure you have enough tax withheld," Martin said.
Self-employed people should make sure they have enough estimated taxes paid in to meet projected obligations to avoid penalty for underpayment, Martin said.
And don't forget charitable contributions. Any financial donation made using a credit card before year-end can be deducted on your 2006 return, even if it isn't paid until 2007.
"This is a good time to assess if you've made all the contributions you've made for the year," Martin said.
Other year-end tax tips, which were provided from the National Society of Accountants, include:
-- Take stock of stocks. Review current year stock and mutual fund sales to determine if a net gain or loss. If there's a net gain, then selling stocks that would produce a net loss make sense. A net capital of up to $3,000 can be deducted against other income, such as salary. Any excess losses can then be carried forward to future years.
-- "Kiddie Tax" update. The new tax law raises the age threshold for the "kiddie tax." For 2006, any unearned income received by a child under 18 that exceeds $1,700 is subject to federal tax at the parents' top marginal tax rate. Consider shifting investments into growth stocks that produce little income, tax-free municipal bonds or municipal-bond funds, Series EE bonds or CDs that mature in the next year.
-- Reducing the tax on Social Security benefits. People who receive Social Security benefits can be taxed on a high percentage of their benefits. Investing in T-Bills or CDs that don't mature until next year can lower the provisional income in the current year and lower the tax rate. Also, investing in growth stock that produces little income can have the same result.
-- See your tax professional. Make an appointment with your tax professional before year end. Opportunities missed can mean cash in the bank. Don't be one of the many taxpayers who look back and say, "If I only knew about this before year end."

CALGARY, AB -- Few have impressed like Elias Lindholm.
A select few.
Only Peter Forsberg and brothers Henrik and Daniel Sedin have put up more points-per-game as a draft eligible player in the Swedish Hockey League than Central Scouting's top Swede.
But that doesn't put any extra pressure on the Scandinavian standout.
Third among European skaters in Central Scouting's final ranking for the 2013 NHL Draft, Lindholm called it an honour, not a stress, to be compared with some of Sweden's top hockey exports.
"To be named with them is an amazing feeling and something I'm really happy about," Lindholm said.
Lindholm made his Svenska hockeyligan debut as a 17-year-old last year, playing 11 regular season and two playoff games after notching 14 goals and 49 points as a member of Brynäs' under-20 squad.
Jumping to the big team this year, Lindholm recorded 11 goals and 30 points in 49 games as a rookie -- third on his team and 29th in league scoring. His performance as an 18-year-old playing against men 10 and 15 years his senior have many pegging Lindholm as the next big thing from Sweden.
Not that he buys into the hype.
"I'm just a normal guy and don't put any focus on that, I leave that to the media to talk about," said Lindholm, whose cousin is Detroit Red Wings prospect Calle Järnkrok.
His estimated time of arrival to the National Hockey League is another aspect of Lindholm's game that has been hotly debated.
Though many feel Lindholm is ready for the challenge of North American hockey, his contract with Brynäs extends another season and is something the 6-foot, 181-pound pivot plans on seeing through.
"My plan is to stay one more year in Sweden, I think it would be the best for me," Lindholm admitted. "It's tough to say when I'm ready for the NHL, maybe it's the next season or maybe the one after that. We'll see."
Meaning if the Flames are hoping to draft a player that will give them an immediate impact with their sixth overall selection, Lindholm might not be that option. Lindholm could very well be worth the wait, though.
And the though of pulling on a Flames sweater in New Jersey may have crossed the Swede's mind.
"It would be a lot of fun," said Lindholm, who interviewed with Calgary as one of his 23 meetings at the NHL Draft Combine in Toronto in late May. "Based on what I've heard it's a great hockey town and also a nice place to live in."
Lindholm will have to wait until draft day to find out if he'll get the opportunity to call Calgary home. In the meantime, the silver medalist at the 2012 World Junior Championship is just hanging in Gävle waiting to make the trek to New Jersey.
Once he's there, Lindholm said he's ready to just take everything as it is.
"I'm just going to come over and have fun an enjoy it," he said.
Until he joins another select few Swedes as a potential top pick on draft day.

Groundhog Day: Find your shadow!
Racing the Sun
All day long I waited for sunshine to appear outside my house so I could capture my shadow. It never came.
But I drove up to Canada yesterday afternoon after hearing that my favorite music artist was performing at Red Mountain ski resort in British Columbia. That elusive sunshine just might be found.
As I drove north along the Columbia River, long breaks of sunshine appeared on the glistening snow around me. But there was no where to pull over to take a photo!
I could see sunshine ahead but the sun was dropping fast to the West. I didn't think I would find a place in the sun to pull over in time. I had to hurry.
I sped north, racing the sun. When I reached "Marble Country", a christian cultish community, I got my opportunity. Several minutes later, in my old town of Northport, WA, I drove down to the boat launch and snapped photos of the Columbia as you look toward Canada.
Allen Stone is a young sensation who grew up just down the highway from me. He's got the sweetest voice and the most soulful personality. It's an irresistible combination. I had to make the trek.
Because of my photo stops, I got to the show a few minutes late. The place was over capacity and I had to wait almost an hour to get in. But I could hear the music perfectly and could even see the performers from the line outside the door. Once I got inside, I got up on a bench in the back and recorded several of his songs. Man, he rocked the house. No one was unimpressed.
I got to talk to him after the show and I felt like we really connected. He has that way about him. I think he connects with everyone.
I'm looking forward to Spring and to watching Allen Stone's career take off.
Thanks for reading!

Very similar to the female queef , it occurs when air becomes trapped down the urethra and escapes. The resulting sound is a very airy whistle. Similar to wind blowing through an old building making a whistling noise.

Figuring out a game of the decade is a tough task because each year the quality improves. And in the past 10 years, video games exploded. Gamers saw developers make good on the promise shown in the 1990s as releases began to look more like playable Pixar cartoons and studios harnessed the power of the technology to invent new types of gameplay. In this decade alone, we saw the introduction of the Wii, PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360.
With video games advancing by leaps and bounds, where do we begin to judge? Is it the quality, artistry or innovation? Or maybe it's the storytelling. When putting this list together, we looked at a combination of these traits with an eye toward impact. The following games set the tone for the decade:
1. "Deus Ex" (2000): Before Sept. 11, Warren Spector's shooter was eerily prescient about this decade in more ways than one. The cyberpunk story about an anti-terrorist agent investigating a global conspiracy offered gamers a hint of the themes that would dominate the next 10 years. The game's mix of shooter and role-playing elements have been mimicked, but the amazing level design stands far above anything that's been created. Many have tried to duplicate "Deux Ex's" gameplay, but none have succeeded.
2. "Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas" (2004): "Grand Theft Auto III" gave us open-world, do-anything gameplay, but it's the third and most controversial iteration where Rockstar Games perfected it. Set in the 1990s, "San Andreas" is the largest world that the team has created, and it's still the genre gold standard today.
3. "World of Warcraft" (2004): It's not the first mass multiplayer online RPG, but Blizzard's game is the one that brought it to the masses. It turned a burgeoning genre into an worldwide phenomenon and became a cultural touchstone for nerds everywhere.
4. "The Sims" (2000): Will Wright's take on suburban life opened video games to a whole new audience. It was also one of the most profitable franchises of the decade, spawning its own division in Electronic Arts.
5. "Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic" (2003): BioWare's take on the Star Wars universe ended up being the best single-player RPG in years. It established the morality-based gameplay that's been the studio's calling card for the better part of a decade.
6. "Guitar Hero" (2005): Harmonix and RedOctane's music-rhythm game started off small but quickly exploded, changing the music and video game world forever. In the past few years, the genre it popularized evolved into "Rock Band," "Guitar Hero World Tour" and "DJ Hero."
7. "LittleBigPlanet" (2008): No other release changed how fans looked at games than Media Molecule's platformer. Its ethos of playing, sharing and creating gives us a glimpse of what's to come in the next 10 years.
8. "Katamari Damacy" (2004): Keita Takahashi's masterpiece made quirky cool again. At a time when games were becoming more complicated, "Katamari Damacy" showed how a simple but fun concept like rolling a ball can trump games with complex control systems and a plethora of items.
9. "Devil May Cry" (2001): Hideki Kamiya showed the world how to make an action game in 3-D. Aside from exuding a new sort of cool, the game paved the way for dozens of other titles, including "God of War."
10. "Bejeweled" (2001): This puzzle title, which has been ported to every system known to man, joins "Tetris" as the quintessential casual game. The match-3 gameplay has become so universal that it can be found on anything from Flash games to the Xbox 360.
11. "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare" (2007): When Infinity Ward moved its franchise from World War II to contemporary times, it created a significant shift in shooters. The new setting and its compelling online component set the trend for other shooters.
12. "Halo" (2001): Bungie's shooter put Microsoft's Xbox on the map. It was also the console player's definitive online multiplayer game for years.
13. "God of War" (2005): David Jaffe's epic about a Spartan warrior who makes a Faustian deal with the god Ares is also one of the best new franchises of the decade. The final game in the trilogy will be released in March.
14. "Wii Sports" (2006): This is the game that made the Wii a hit. Showing how motion-controls can reach a new demographic, "Wii Sports" put Nintendo on top of the console heap.
15. "Shadow of the Colossus" (2005): Fumito Ueda's "Ico" showed the potential of games as art, but his haunting masterpiece about a warrior trying to resurrect a young maiden is where his vision reached the masses.

One of the things that has always bugged the hell outta me is when someone goes, "I've got diabetes real bad." I have never, ever understood that statement. If you have complications from diabetes its not because you've got it 'real bad', its because you are not taking care of your medical condition.
It still floors me that there are diabetics who come into the store and still maintain the same lifestyle they had prior to being diagnosed. They seem to think if they take their medication and insulin, that they do not need to do anything else to maintain their health. This is far far from the truth and is usually where the complications arise. If you don't watch what you eat, excerise on a regular basis and, if needed, monitor your glucose levels shortly, you will begin to see problems arise.
What few also seem to not realize is that diabetes is closely related to cardiovascular issues. Those two combined can prove to be a very deadly combination, but not in a way where it will normally kill you over night. Just because numerous people have diabetes and yet seem to live problem-less lives does not mean it is not a serious medical issue. You can't blame the diabetes for your complications, you have to blame yourself. Although in today's society it is so much easier to blame someone or something else as we often do not want to look at our own faults.
I should mention that I am talking about Type 2 diabetics. Type 1's usually have a very realistic grasp of their medical condition. It is the Type 2's who lack this understanding. It is unbelievable how many of them do not know what their A1C level is (let alone know what it is) or what to do with a carb ratio. One could corrlate that Type 2 diabetics are often those of a lower level of society and thus may not have adequet schooling to understand such a concept. I call bullshit on that one because unless you have a mental illness, it is truely not that hard to understand such concepts.
And now they're talking about 'curing' diabetes. If anything that is making the problem worse because I know of some patients who look at it as a curable disease. The odd thing is this is probably one of the easiest conditions to prevent. I have done over 40 hours of advanced training on diabetes and the more I learn about it, the more I begin to believe that the prevalance of the disease its a reflection of our society as a whole. It is really sad when you begin to think about it.

Have you been asking yourself "do I have eczema?" People who suspect that they (or their children) have atopic dermatitis should carefully examine skin areas, keeping three questions in mind:
If the answer to any one of these questions is yes, the next step is to consult a medical specialist--allergist/immunologists or dermatologists know a lot about eczema. They can get an in-depth history and perform additional diagnostic tests, if necessary, including:
A detailed medical history is the most important and reliable tool for diagnosing eczema. An allergist or dermatologist will ask a host of questions, focusing on when the rash appears, where it appears, and how often it does so. They also will ask about itching and other features that characterize atopic dermatitis. Some questions will focus on possible triggers: foods or inhaled allergens, temperature changes, and other features of a person's home or work surroundings that may spark atopic flares.
It is very useful before walking into the doctor's office for patients or parents to write down what they remember about all of these questions. That's because many people have difficulty recalling the information on the spur of the moment in the doctor's office, and accurate answers are key to an eczema diagnosis.
While the medical history is of paramount importance, additional tests can help support the diagnosis of atopic dermatitis or identify other conditions that may be causing symptoms instead. Some of these tests are:
If the medical history points to atopic dermatitis, then healthcare providers can move on to specific tests, known as "challenges," to determine if something in the patient's surroundings or in food routinely aggravates the ailment. Patients can then try to avoid these specific triggers.
If a food allergy is suspected, specialists can recommend a food challenge. Patients are "challenged" by being given increasing amounts of eczema food triggers thought to be allergens and being carefully monitored and observed for any reaction. This is typically done at a specialized testing center.

This whole AdBlock crowd-funding campaign is pretty funny. I don't really have much to say about it other than it really misses the mark and lacks any sort of usefulness whatsoever. So, here is a summary of their plan:
- Get users to GIVE AdBlock money
- Use that money to BUY ADS
- The ads will help spread the AdBlock gospel to non-AdBlock users (oh the irony, but it makes sense, I'll give them that)
- "Turn advertising on its head"
Yes, that last bullet is a direct quote from their crown-funding site. So, how exactly does raising money to buy ads to promote the usage of an ad blocking tool turn advertising on its head? I mean, of course,...

Assessment of Hypoxia in the Stroma of Patient-Derived Pancreatic Tumor Xenografts
AbstractThe unusually dense stroma of pancreatic cancers is thought to play an important role in their biological aggression. The presence of hypoxia is also considered an adverse prognostic factor. Although it is usually assumed that this is the result of effects of hypoxia on the epithelial component, it is possible that hypoxia exerts indirect effects via the tumor stroma. We therefore measured hypoxia in the stroma of a series of primary pancreatic cancer xenografts. Nine patient-derived pancreatic xenografts representing a range of oxygenation levels were labeled by immunohistochemistry for EF5 and analyzed using semi-automated pattern recognition software. Hypoxia in the tumor and stroma was correlated with tumor growth and metastatic potential. The extent of hypoxia varied from 1%–39% between the different models. EF5 labeling in the stroma ranged from 0–20% between models, and was correlated with the level of hypoxia in the tumor cell area, but not microvessel density. Tumor hypoxia correlated with spontaneous metastasis formation with the exception of one hypoxic model that showed disproportionately low levels of hypoxia in the stroma and was non-metastatic. Our results demonstrate that hypoxia exists in the stroma of primary pancreatic cancer xenografts and suggest that stromal hypoxia impacts the metastatic potential.

Happy WIAW Y'all! I know I normally highlight my typical M-F meals on WIAW, featuring Tuesday's eats. However, today I'm changing it up just a little. I didn't take any good pictures, but there are a few recipes and items worth sharing from the weekend.
Kevin and I invited two other couples (and an adorable 5 month-old) over for dinner on Friday. We started off with wine and bruschetta. Let me first say, this particular Fre wine is not a winner. I was happy to have something since we were serving Shiraz and Cotes du Rhone, but I really can't recommend it.
The bruschetta, on the other hand, is fabulous! If you live near a Harris Teeter grocery store, you should totally pick some up.
For dinner, I served a small Italian salad and Better Homes & Gardens' Greek Lamb with Spinach & Artichokes. It tasted very good, though I think I let it cook a bit too long. Instead of orzo, I served it over egg noodles, and I sprinkled each with pasteurized feta.
After dinner, Kevin popped the champagne to celebrate the gender news. No glass for me! (though I stole a sip)
There was also a bit of this. Yes.
I kind of followed Taste of Homes' Chocolate Trifle recipe. I made changes though, like swapping brownies for cake, mixing 1/3 of the Cool Whip into the pudding prior to layering, and using Kit Kat bars instead of Heath. (no – not the least bit paleo, vegan, healthy, nutritious) I think I'd skip the coffee next time too.
- Are you a fan of playing hostess?
- Ever let yourself just make something totally sinful and delicious?

Filtration is one of the most commonly used unit operations in biopharmaceutical manufacturing. Available formats include direct or normal flow filtration (NFF) and cross or tangential flow filtration (TFF). These methods are used for sterilization and virus filtration, depth filtration or ultrafiltration, and diafiltration applications. Some common objectives include:
This article is the fourth in the "Elements of Biopharmaceutical Production" series and will be published in two segments. In this first segment, Anurag Rathore and Alice Wang present development and scale-up of a depth filtration step, and Jerold Martin discusses development and validation issues for a viral clearance filtration step.Anurag S. Rathore and Alice Wang, Amgen Inc.
Process Development and Scale-up for Depth Filtration The following shows the development of a robust depth filtration step for clarification.1 We wanted to design a robust and scaleable depth filtration step that could maximize product recovery (in this case, a protein expressed in Pichia pastoris) and that could handle varying % solids content in the feed stream from the preceding centrifugation step. First, we performed a screening study using various depth filters available on the market that met our manufacturing process criteria. Second, we chose filters based on the screening data; we directly and thoroughly compared those filters to determine the best performing filter. Then, we performed characterization studies on the chosen filter to ensure robust performance at scale. Finally, we scaled the filtration step up to pilot scale and compared its performance under these conditions.

Hey ladies! It's that time of year again. It's sneaks up on us every February. The stores are full of stuff to remind us that it's time to show your fella just how much you love him.
Yep. Super Bowl Sunday.
Just kidding. Sorta. Super Bowl Sunday IS coming and if you lived in Pittsburgh, like I do, your whole house would be living on pins and needles waiting for the big day.
But after THAT is Valentine's Day. And while I don't recommend saving all your love for one day a year, it's as good a time as any to think about how you're loving that fella of yours.
I'm guessing that we all show our love in different ways. Aside from the obvious *ahem* physical affection, some of us use words, some give gifts and some show our love with the things that we do…and maybe some do combination of all those things.
But did you ever stop to think about how your man WANTS to be loved? What makes him feel loved?
In the spirit of Valentine's Day, I wanted to tell you about a book that completely changed my relationship with my husband when we were first married.
It's called The 5 Love Languages by Gary Chapman.
Here's where I'm hoping that lots of you say. "I read that book!" If you haven't, may I be so bold as to suggest that you get yourself a copy, read it and apply it as a Valentine's Day gift for your man. It's less than $7 on Amazon right now, or borrow a copy from the library. I would loan you mine, but it's so tattered and dog-eared that I can't let it out of the house.
Edited to add: I am LOVING all of your comments about this book!
In his book, Dr. Chapman describes the 5 basic ways that people communicate love…Quality Time, Words of Affirmation, Acts of Service, Physical Touch and Giving Gifts. We often show love to our spouses in the love language that we're most fluent in. But if that's not the way they need to receive love, then it doesn't fill them up.
I hope it doesn't sound hokey to say that this book changed my marriage. It taught me that my husband is an Acts of Service kinda guy. All that time I was spending TELLING him how much I loved him wasn't doing it for him. Now I know that he feels loved when I set up the coffee pot before bed, so that he can have a cup of coffee when he leaves the house at the bum-crack of dawn.
There's also a 5 Love Languages of Children but I haven't read that one, so I can't vouch for it.
And if you must know, my love language is Giving Gifts. Deep like a river, am I. Now go buy me a present!
Disclaimer: I am completely unqualified to give marriage advice. I just know what worked for us. When I tell people about this book, the most common question I get is "What if my husband won't do it with me?".
To that I say…You do your part. Don't worry about him. Obviously, it's best if both hubby and wifey are on the same page. But if you start loving your man the way that he needs to be loved, you'll see a change.

Two Mints in One
We headed out to Dead Horse Point tonight (you turn left where it smells bad) to find cloudless vistas. Well, I decided to work the same subject a couple of different ways: two different angles and two different formats. I then finished them the same in NX, Efex 3.0 and now I'm just staring at them trying to decide which I like best. I'll probably have to print them out to make the final call.

GRAND JUNCTION, Colo. (KKCO)-- Olathe seniors Brenda Suarez, Kylie Tait, Bethany Cox, and Tawni Middleton have been playing on the same basketball court for nearly 7 years. Perhaps that best explains the incredible success the Lady Pirates have experienced this year.
Olathe enters the 3A Colorado State Basketball Playoffs on Friday as the 5th seed overall with a 20-2 record, and if you've seen them play this season, you'll understand why team cohesion is the strongest influence on their performance.

Dr Mark Davis from the University's Veterinary Hospital said emergency services had recently seen a number of snakebites in dogs that needed anti-venom and critical care including life support.
"Snakes are now emerging from hibernation, becoming active in the afternoon and early evening which is when they may come into contact with pets," Dr Davis said.
"People can avoid encountering snakes by clearing out potential hideouts such as piles of rubbish and long grass in backyards. When out walking, owners should keep their dogs in sight and avoid long grass and waterways, which snakes seek out."
Dr Davis said owners often won't see their pet actually being bitten so they need to be aware of symptoms which can include collapse, seizures, difficulty breathing or walking and vomiting, depending on the snake species. Tiger snakes are most common west of Melbourne and Brown snakes are frequently seen in the east.
If bitten, pets need to be kept as still as possible, not walked, and taken straight to a vet. Owners should call ahead to their vet so that they can prepare treatment such as anti-venom.
Staffordshire terrier Melon was treated at the University's Veterinary Hospital after being bitten at home. Her owner Mrs Maree Smith said she heard her dog making an unusual bark and then found Melon had attacked a snake in the backyard.
"We had another dog bitten by a snake so we knew to keep him still and rush him to hospital. Melon stopped breathing and needed anti-venom, resuscitation and life support for three days," Mrs Smith said.
"Our house backs onto a creek which attracts snakes, and Staffys are so inquisitive and protective that we have to keep a constant eye on them."

While waiting in court today to argue a motion, I saw something that just didn't sit right with me. The state was moving to revoke a defendant's bond. What caught my attention was the prosecutor's statement that the defendant didn't accept the plea offer. Maybe she misspoke. Maybe I heard it wrong. Who knows? I do know this. Whether or not someone turned down a plea offer should never be mentioned in connection with a bond revocation hearing.
Turns out there was more to the story. The defendant was on home detention, with GPS monitoring. The grounds for the revocation? He was behind on his home detention payments. You see, it costs about $70.00 a week to be on home detention.
Jail is for poor people. Home detention may not necessarily be for rich people, but it certainly is hard for the indigent.

by Herman Melville
Moby-Dick Chapter 102: A Bower in the Arsacides Summary
- Having already considered most of the different external aspects of the whale, Ishmael peels back his skin and flesh to examine his skeleton.
- Ishmael explains that he knows about the skeletal construction of the whale because, on one ship, he sees a small cub sperm whale brought on board and dissects it with his own knife.
- Furthermore, Ishmael says, he learned about the skeleton of the full-grown sperm whale from his friend Tranquo, the king of a Melanesian island where Ishmael once spent some time on leave from another ship.
- Tranquo has a collection of rare and precious artifacts, including the skeleton of a sperm whale that was found stranded on a local beach.
- The natives preserved it in a green and luscious glade, decorating it with trophies, carvings, and even a sacred flame inside the skull.
- The sight of the sun coming through the leaves and tendrils of the forest made Ishmael think of God as a great weaver, and he wonders about the workings of fate.
- The skeleton of the sperm whale rests in this glen, getting covered gradually with green vines—life twining around death.
- Ishmael examines this skeleton, wandering around inside it, even measuring it with a rod that he made for the purpose from a nearby tree, even though the local priests objected to him measuring their god.
- Ishmael tells us the size of the whale, reminding us that he can't lie about this—if we wanted, we could go to one of the museums that has actual whale skeletons and check his details.
- The comparison of the whale in the grove in Melanesia and the whale in Yorkshire owned by Sir Clifford Constable is a remarkable one: both men seize the whales and turn them into spectacles.
- Ishmael claims that he's copying down his measurement of the whale's skeleton from a tattoo on his arm, where he preserved the numbers.
- He admits that he didn't worry about making the dimensions exact to the inch.

The Take Back the Night Rally was held at Augusta State University on Thursday night. (WRDW-TV / April 20, 2012)
News 12 at 11 o'clock / Thursday, April 19, 2012
AUGUSTA, Ga. -- It was an emotional night at Augusta State University -- a night to talk about a crime people just don't talk about.
Sexual assault is one of the most under-reported crimes and many are trying to change that. Thursday night was the final event during the month of April spotlighting sexual assault and abuse.
Haely Chadwick, a survivor of sexual assault, was one of those who attended and shared her story.
"The questions replayed in my head over and over again. Why did they pick me? Was I too dumb, too weak or pathetic to defend myself?" she said.
She spoke publicly for the first time about what happened to her the summer after graduating from high school.
"They knew me," she said. "They'd been to my home and welcomed into my family, how could they do such a thing to me ... They took a part of me, they raped me."
For Chadwick, and many others, speaking out isn't easy.
"I almost backed out quite a few times, but I just keep reminding myself why you're doing this, you're gonna help somebody, you're the voice for someone else and that's helping me get through it," she said.
Chadwick says it took her a year to finally admit what happened to her.
"That's the main thing I keep telling myself is that there's a survivor out there who is scared to tell for so long just like I was and I wanna be that voice for them to let them know that it's all right and the only way to stop this is to speak out against it," she said.
She wasn't the only one sharing her story.
"I had just left church. I never will forget that night," said one survivor.
"I don't mind getting up and telling my story because I know that there's probably somebody out there it's gonna help and that's why I do it," said another.
Organizers say the ones telling the stories have the biggest impact on the people who hear them.
"You have people who come up and say, 'I've never told anybody this before,' but their story has empowered me to do that. And that's just I think the miracle of this is just to show that they are not alone," said Crisis Specialist Charlotte Murton.
That's a miracle Chadwick hopes she can bring to someone else who has been a victim.
The survivors were not the only speakers. They also had representatives from law enforcement, rape crisis and the Office of the U.S. attorney general.

Hay fever is a common allergic condition that affects many people at some point in their life.
Hay fever is caused by breathing in pollen particles and by pollen getting into the eyes. You can get hay fever at any time from early spring to late summer, depending on which pollen or pollens you're allergic to.
The pollens most likely to cause problems in early spring are those from trees such as the silver birch, ash, and oak .
Grasses pollinate during mid-summer from May to August. The most profusely pollinating grasses are timothy, rye, cocksfoot, meadow and fescue.
Occasionally, in late summer and autumn, weeds such as nettles and dock as well as mugwort and plantain can trigger hay fever.
The condition tends to occur in atopic allergy-prone families and usually starts in the early teens, with symptoms peaking in the mid 20s.
The main symptoms of hay fever are:
* Repeated sneezing attacks
* Runny or itchy nose
* Itchy or watery eyes
* Itchy throat, palate and ears
* Loss of concentration
* General feeling of being unwell (hence 'fever')
If the pollen count is very high, many will also wheeze (so-c

A Must Read - Share
Last week, Burger King announced that it had released a "healthier" version of its french fries. If skepticism is your immediate reaction to this statement, you're not alone. We tried these "healthy fries," and found that they don't deviate too far from the original ones in taste and nutrition.
But it got us thinking about the concept of a "healthier" option -- is it always, in fact, better for you? In some instances, we've found, the low-cal, fat-free, diet foods we find are even less healthful than the originals. Take, for example, fat-free salad dressing: Manufacturers remove some fat,

Choose from over 40 Ski destinations...
Be first to hear of our cheap flight promotions, new routes and schedule launches. Sign up now for exclusive Jet2.com news and offers.
Piste Map : View map
5 day local weather forecast : View weather
Drive time : 147 miles or 3hrs drive time from Geneva
Drive time : 183 miles or 3hrs 45mins drive time from Chambery
With crisp clean air, guaranteed snow, impressive scenery and excellent restaurants, snowboarding and skiing breaks in Zermatt have it all. Plus, with cheap ski flights to both Chambery and Geneva available with Jet2.com, you are 3 hours 45 minutes and 3 hours respectively away from the action after you touch down.
The defining feature of a ski break in Zermatt is the impressive yet imposing Matterhorn Mountain, arguably the most photographed mountain in the world and setting for many a famous story. This has made the resort just as popular with hikers as it is with snowboarders and skiers.
As an alpine resort tucked in at the bottom of the Matterhorn there is one thing you can guarantee from a ski break in Zermatt and that is excellent snowboarding and skiing opportunities. The skiing is available in four main areas Sunnegga, Gornergrat, Klein Matterhorn and Schwarzsee.
The Sunnegga Paradise is ideal for families and easily reachable with the funicular railway. The Schwarzsee Paradise/Klein Matterhorn is home to one of the most stunning lakes guarded by the Matterhorn but its height makes it a perfect area for skiing. At 3,089km above sea level the Gornergrat is thought to be Switzerland's most visited tourist area of the past 111 years.
The high altitude guarantees snow all year round, which has considerably aided the resorts reputation as one of the best destinations for snowboarding and skiing breaks. However, the challenging slopes are better suited to intermediate and advanced skiers than those trying the sport for the first time.
There is over 350km of pistes available during the winter season and plenty of off-piste terrain to tackle. You can even enjoy moonlight ski runs in the tranquillity of a small group and have a meal some 3,883km above sea level.
As well as the excellent skiing and snowboarding, Zermatt is an ideal choice for a healthy break. The air is crisp and clean because only electrical vehicles are allowed in the town. This means no combustible engines polluting the air and magnificent views of the Matterhorn.
Furthermore, Zermatt is home to some of the best alpine restaurants you will find in the world. In fact there are over 100 restaurants to choose from, including a Michelin starred one. The cuisine, often fondly referred to as mountain food due to the location on the Matterhorn of some of the restaurants, is largely haute cuisine that is homely and authentic rather than pretentious.
Rounding off the quality of Zermatt is its picturesque appeal at night. The town glows in gentle lighting that makes it quite an eye-catching place to enjoy a short skiing weekend.
Additionally, its close proximity to the Italian border means you won't have too many problems discovering other resorts like Cervinia.
You will find regular cheap ski flights to Chambery and Geneva from Jet2.com for ski breaks to Zermatt.

"We'd like to thank Chairman Calvert (CA) and Ranking Member Moran (VA) for providing more than $34 million for NAWCA in its FY15 subcommittee bill," said DU CEO Dale Hall. "While this is level funding with FY14, it clearly demonstrates a renewed commitment to this vital program that delivers wetland conservation on the ground for waterfowl, other wildlife and our citizens."
Since 1990, more than 5,000 partners have completed more than 2,400 NAWCA projects resulting in the conservation of 27.5 million acres of habitat on the ground. Reflecting their commitment to these vital habitat projects, partners have contributed $2.7 billion in non-federal matching funds for the nearly $1.3 billion made available in federal grants. NAWCA creates and enhances wetland habitat that serves as vital breeding, migratory and wintering grounds for millions of waterfowl throughout their life cycle. With appropriate funding for this program, the public will benefit for years from healthy waterfowl populations and increased hunting opportunities.
"Wetlands are not only important to wildlife, but also provide significant goods and services to our citizens in the form of flood control, purification of drinking water through their filtering function and buffering of coastal storm surges, in addition to providing hunting and other recreational opportunities," Hall said.
Ducks Unlimited Inc. is the world's largest non-profit organization dedicated to conserving North America's continually disappearing waterfowl habitats. Established in 1937, Ducks Unlimited has conserved more than 13 million acres thanks to contributions from more than a million supporters across the continent. Guided by science and dedicated to program efficiency, DU works toward the vision of wetlands sufficient to fill the skies with waterfowl today, tomorrow and forever. For more information on our work, visit www.ducks.org.
