The Mountain-Prairie Region's Office of Ecological Services (ES) works to restore and protect healthy populations of fish, wildlife, and plants and the environments upon which they depend. Using the best available science, ES personnel work with Federal, State, Tribal, local, and non-profit stakeholders, as well as private land owners, to avoid, minimize, and mitigate threats to our Nation's natural resources. Among the many tools ES employs to achieve these goals is the administration of numerous laws, including the Endangered Species Act, Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act, National Environmental Policy Act, Clean Water Act, Federal Power Act, Migratory Bird Treaty Act, Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act, and Sikes Act.
We also conduct oil spill and other environmental contaminant assessment and response activities, promote invasive species management and habitat restoration actions, conduct public outreach and education, and coordinate with other Federal agencies to ensure fish and wildlfe impacts are considered during the planning and construction of projects such as roads, dams, energy (oil and gas, wind and coal), and forest and rangeland management.
The Service is the principal Federal agency tasked with informing the American public on the extent and status of the Nation's wetlands. To fulfill this responsibility, ES produces and distributes maps and other geospatial data on the location, type, and function of wetlands and deepwater habitats. These data support research, land management planning and analyses, policy development, and modeling activities for programs within and outside the Service.
Through project planning, ES seeks to provide biological expertise early in the process to assist other Federal agencies in the design and construction of projects to minimize adverse environmental impacts to fish, wildlife, and plants and their habitats. Through these efforts, ES attempts to protect rare and declining species and their habitats before actions such as Federal listings for endangered or threatened species become necessary. We also recommend mitigation measures and monitoring to employ Adaptive Management.
Environmental Contaminants (EC) Specialists have unique and specialized expertise and experience, including:
- Hazardous Spill Response
- Environmental Resoration
- Water Quality Criteria and Evaluation
- Using Pesticides and Pest Management Methods
- Conducting Contaminant Investigations
This expertise helps EC Specialists identify sources of environmental contamination, assess the impacts of contaminants to fish and wildlife resources, and help restore contaminated habitats. The EC Program's operations enhance all other Service activities, and EC Specialists regularly partner with other agencies and organizations to address their environmental contaminant concerns.
As the principal Federal partner responsible for administering the Endangered Species Act (ESA), the Service takes the lead in conserving the Nation's imperiled species by fostering partnerships, employing scientific excellence, and developing a workforce of conservation leaders. Ecological Services carries out its responsibilities under the ESA through the following activities:
- Candidate Conservation
- Listing and Critical Habitat
- Recovery
- Consultations
- Grants
- Habitat Conservation Plans
- Tribal Cooperation

Hi all,
I've discussed my killstripe application technique, albeit more briefly, in some of my helmet progress threads.
I had a request to put up a separate killstripe tutorial, so I'll go into a bit more detail on how I do the stripes.
I do my helmet paint jobs "topically," so this tutorial will reflect that fact. Since around 2007 or 2008, I've
probably done 14 or 15 ESB helmet commissions, and this tutorial will reflect the tweaks I've made to my
process over the years. Also, whenever I'm painting a helmet I use the topical methods, so this tutorial
will reflect that style of painting. Here goes!
When I'm ready to begin laying out the killstripes, I always have a couple of reference pics handy. These
are invaluable during the entire helmet paint up, but checking the position and proportion of important key
features like the killstripes is really important.
Please note that any specific measurements I list here may not apply to all makes of helmet.
Each manufacturer's helmets have slightly different dimensions, so small adjustments may need to be
made depending on what type of helmet you're working on. This example uses an Animefan Deluxe kit.
The first measurement I need to get is the distance between the bottom of the killstripes and the red "band"
that surrounds the helmet. I measure a feature of the helmet, for instance the height of the band. I then
pull up a reference picture and size the picture on my computer screen until the band is the same measurement.
Then I measure that vertical space between the band and the bottom of the killstripes. In this case, that
measurement is 7 mm. I tend to work in millimeters rather than fractions of an inch when I'm doing this.
I can get greater accuracy that way.
I mark a piece of blue painters tape and slice it with an X-acto knife so I have a strip that's 7 mm wide.
Then I lay it onto the helmet.
Now that this measurement is marked off, I want to find out where to begin masking the individual stripes.
In this step, it's important to find a reference pic that is oblique as possible. Meaning that you should try
to find a pic where the camera is set up so that it's at 90° to the object you want to measure. In the next
pic, I have marked a thin line running right up the center of the left ear piece so that it extends upward onto
the killstripes.
This pic shows that the #7 stripe's front edge is just forward of the centerline of the ear. So that's where I
begin marking off the stripes. I draw a pencil line on the ear platform, and extend the line up onto the blue tape.
On this make of helmet, I came up with measurements of 8 mm X 25 mm for the killstripes themselves, with a
spacing of 6 mm between each stripe. Tamiya makes an excellent yellow masking tape in various widths, and
one happens to be 6 mm, perfect for this application! I place a piece of the 6 mm Tamiya tape so that the back
edge is just forward of the pencil line. Remember, the tape marks the spaces between the stripes, so if the
back edge of the tape is forward of the ear centerline, the front edge of the killstripe will be forward of the centerline.
Now that I have the first space taped off, it's a fairly repetitive process to mark off the remainder of the killstripes.
I measure 8 mm from the front and back edges of that first piece of Tamiya tape, then add additional strips.
As you can see above, I write a small number on the blue tape below each stripe. This is just something I do
to help me keep track when I apply liquid mask (in a few more steps). I continue marking off the killstripes in
this manner until all 17 stripes are masked off. Aha! Caught you napping. . . there are 14 stripes of course.
Now that the vertical spaces are defined, I need to mark off the top edge of the stripes. I place a mark on each
piece of Tamiya tape so that the stripes will be 25 mm high. It may not be necessary to mark every piece of tape.
But I do it so I'm sure I'm getting the curvature correct.
I cut another strip of blue painters tape and lay that down so it's on my pencil marks.
If Boba's killstripes were "showroom new," all the prep would be done! But they're chipped up and damaged just
like the rest of the helmet, so now it's time to mask off the chips.
I use Winsor & Newton masking fluid for doing this type of work. There are plenty of other perfectly suitable
masking products out there, I just find that W & N suits my needs. It also goes a looooooooong way! I've been
using the same bottle for probably 4 or 5 years. To apply the fluid, I use a product called a Microbrush. They're
pretty inexpensive, disposable, and easy to use.
Microbrushes come in a couple of different sizes. I use the Superfine size for doing small work like this.
Here's a Superfine Microbrush next to a common cotton swab.
TIP: Just cut off the little tuft on the end of the Microbrush when you're done using it, and save the plastic
stick for things like mixing 2-part epoxy. Works great!
This is another area where clear reference pics, or great templates like those made by Rafalfett will really
come in handy. The patterns of chips in the killstripes are very specific, and they are one of the areas that
people will focus on when they look at your helmet, so getting them as accurate as you can is important.
Below, I've applied the masking fluid. The slightly darker, shiny spots are those chips that have been masked off.
By this point, I've done quite a bit of work to the helmet, and I don't want to risk messing up any of the detail
I've applied to the dome or back panels, so I mask off the entire helmet.
Now it's time to fire up the compressor and put that airbrush to work!
Psssshhhhhhhhhh!. . . pssssshhhhhhhhh!. . . psssshhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! (That's my airbrush sound effect.)
I use Polly Scale UP Armor Yellow for the killstripes. I apply two medium coats and I don't worry about
getting perfectly even coverage. Once the yellow has been applied, I give my airbrush a quick rinse and
immediately reload it with an orangey color. I've used a couple of different oranges, and haven't noticed
any major difference in appearance depending on which one I used. I apply a light misting coat to the rear
half of the run of killstripes, allowing it to build just slightly more toward the back. This effect should be subtle.
After allowing the paint to cure, I begin to unmask. First I remove the plastic wrap from the entire helmet.
Then I carefully peel off the Tamiya tape and the blue painters tape. I use a rubber cement pickup to remove
the dried masking fluid. It works really well. There are other ways to do it: rubbing with your fingers, using a fine
pair of tweezers to lift it off, etc. I just find that the rubber cement pickup is quick and easy.
Here's a shot of the killstripes after all of the masking has been removed.
Take a look at the coloring of the entire run of killstripes. There's no definite, noticeable change from yellow
to orange. Now take a couple of fingers and hold them up to your screen so the center stripes are covered.
See the fade?
This final pic is just to show what this section of the helmet looks like after a couple more days' worth of
detail work has been done. Some of the damage areas are very closely related to the positions of the killstripes,
so that's why getting them in the right place is important.
I hope this tutorial comes in handy! As with anything, there are multiple ways of doing any part of the helmet.
I've just found that this method gives me some pretty good results. If anyone has any questions or comments,
please let me know! Now go out there and. . .

Burress, who seems unusually stupid and arrogant, even for an NFL wide receiver, is in a jam for accidentally shooting himself and then contriving to cover up the incident by (allegedly) convincing a doctor to skip the normally mandatory police report.
The story started early on the morning of November 29 in Manhattan's Latin Quarter nightclub, where witnesses heard a loud pop and then saw Burress, the idiot, staggering and clutching his leg. The receiver — who didn't have a permit to carry the gun — was overheard saying, "Take me to the hospital."
He went to New York-Presbyterian, where he was treated by a Dr. Josyann Abisaab, who for reasons that remain as yet unknown failed to comply with a 2000 law mandating that hospitals report all gunshots, powder burns, knife wounds, and ice-pick punctures to the police.
Also inveigled in this scandal are linebacker Antonio Pierce, who allegedly drove Burress to the hospital, and, to a lesser degree, troubled running back Ahmad Bradshaw, who was at the nightclub at the time of the shooting. The many moving parts — a possible hospital cover-up, the possible complicity of team officials and players, and the fact that Burress is a star who'd already clashed with the team earlier this year for contractual reasons — have made this a tabloid orgy in which everyone involved is taking turns overreacting in front of the cameras. One police spokesman even invoked the ghosts of Watergate when he talked about a "universe of silence" around the incident.
Burress posted $100,000 bail for two weapons-possession charges; his next court appearance is in March. He was also suspended for the final four games of the season. Dr. Abisaab has been suspended by New York-Presbyterian and may face charges under that 2000 New York law, a Class A misdemeanor. Nobody knows yet what's going to happen with Pierce. Mayor Michael Bloomberg, who knows how to pile on with the best of them, said it would be an "outrage" if authorities didn't prosecute Burress and the hospital to "the fullest extent of the law."
Burress's lawyer, Benjamin Brafman, meanwhile, said that Burress is a "mature adult" who is "standing tall."
Actually he's a moron who accidentally discharges loaded guns in crowded nightclubs and is now at least leaning a little to one side, if he's still standing tall at all. But who's counting?
The Giants are kicking ass on the field, but they've had some tough times lately, for sure. Another wideout, Steve Smith, was robbed at gunpoint on November 25. Some guy waited for Smith outside his townhouse and stuck a gun to the back of his head, taking his wallet, cell phone, and jewelry.
Who commits armed robbery for a wallet? Is the financial crisis really that severe?

Did you not see ray lewis in his prime?
I am not arguing with you but a top tier MLB in our defense is a big piece to the puzzle of getting this defense back on track. We run a rotational DE system, you don't need to stock pile 1-3rd picks on DE's.
DT's i can agree with you Canty is getting paid too much, and outside of Linval and him no one else really fills the void.

Greetings . . .
I have been reading (Hive & Honey Bee, 1992, p845) about wintering colonies using a moisture-releaser (insulite board) over the inner cover to allow moisture to be absorbed and released precluding the accumulation and freezing of the products of metabolism.
I searched AOL and found 59 items, from concrete products, sleeping bag insulation to panels for green houses.
What do I need for my hive?
Where can I buy?

Great selection of beers and good pizza
great beers and a much needed spot in West Ashley!
They have plenty of great stuff for very reasonable prices. I've bought lots of items that are brand new/never worn with the tags still on from Gap, Children's Place, etc. Not sure what there really is to complain about. The store is clean, well stocked and all of the staff I've ever encountered were totally nice. They're selective about what they'll buy from you, but they know what they can sell so you can't really fault them for that.
the above info is incorrect, this is the correct info for the NEW Arthur Murray STUDIO:
1300 Savannah Highway
Charleston, SC 29407 (843) 806-0440
Citadel Mall is looking great these days. So excited for all of the new stores and improvements coming!
What a great place. Amazing product. Amazing people that clearly love what they do.
I have been going to Broad Street Barbers for over 5 years (since I moved here). The whole staff is great but especially Myrtis whom I have gone to exclusively. She is a great owner to boot!!. When she went out on a health issue she made sure that i was taken care and now I see Jen. If you want a great haircut at a great price by really friendly staff, Broad Street Barber shop is the place to go.
The owner was personable and extremely helpful in our various vinyl searches. He was even able to locate a incredibly rare vinyl our son has spent years attempting to find. The selection was varied and the prices very reasonable. You will want to spend awhile discovering old favorites.
I could spend hours in this place. Really good selection.
This is a great store with a great selection and there are lots of gems among the $1 records. It's an area of King St. where there's always lots of parking so it's not a hassle to get to.
Fantastic park in old North Charleston on the former navy base....situated on the Cooper River complete with fishing piers and riverfront boardwalks....gorgeous old oak trees....one of my favorite places for a walk!
Since Revelry has not yet been rated yet, I would like to start their rating out with an enthusiastic 5 star rating! Sean, Jay and Ryan have really done well by not only providing the craft beer drinking community a great place to hang out, but also providing a great lineup of quality, great tasting beers!! Keep up the great work!!
The ladies here at the low country pregnancy center are absolutely amazing.They are truly a blessing to young women their words of encouragement always uplift you at your lowest moment.Keep doing every thing that you all do.
Voted Best Baby Stores for a reason, beautiful stores and wonderful owners. They do so much for many local charities. Word of mouth does indeed work!
Great place to buy the Best Place to buy Seafood & work Too!
Knowledgeable staff, and prompt service. I would recommend this shop for repairs, rentals, or sales to anyone i know!
Fantastic location and great vibe. I have gone to a couple of free events at this location and PBC has a great open air atmosphere.
I first went to Holy Cow in 2000. I knew little about yoga, the practice. Tracy, the owner, was the instructor. I've always been athletic, physically fit. I was a competitive, nationally ranked swimmer for years. I frequented local gyms (Trey's in West Ashley etc). Did the 45 min treadmill etc...never liked it, it was a chore.
The impact of that first class, physically, mentally and emotionally; changed my life forever. I'm not diligent with my yoga practice. Over the years, I'd go 3 times a week for months, then not for 6 month. Get back into it for a good while, then not go for 2 years. The things I learned however, stay with me everyday, whether I'm practicing at Holy Cow or not.
I've taken classes at several other yoga studios throughout the Charleston area. Nothing's ever come close to the experience, the "vibe" or energy that's never changed at Holy Cow. Holy Cow will always be the true essence, the core of yoga in Charleston.
They have delicious chocolates, baked goods, coffees, and even baguettes; Where can I get a salami sandwich for myself and a blueberry dark chocolate bar for my wife and then two cups of coffee to wake us both up after? Christophe, that's where.
Oops, my previous review was suppose to reflect 5 stars and not 1. This place is awesome!

I'm getting a little annoyed with bucket lid holes getting plugged up and thought I would try frames feeders.
Who makes a good one? How much drowning is there despite the floats? Anyone ever have a queen wander
over to the edge and fall in?

I have Motherload...and I have seen that no matter what brand you use, the clips don't stay in place..and you lose them...and the sides collapse. So, we put a piece of wood in the middle and secure with either staples or small wood screws. Picture is not one of ours but shows how we put in the block. We use wood strips inside for floats and don't have an issue of drowning. https://picasaweb.google.com/1118636...ionBoardFeeder
I have used the Mann Lake Pro Feeders most of this year and have only ever found 1 bee dead in the ladder...I like them, the 1-1/2gal size is what I have.
Here is a link to a feeder we use. http://www.beemaidbeestore.com/browse.php?txtCatID=190
It fits very tightly inside a medium hive body. Screen fastens down with 2 screws. Drowning no problem until someone put on a notched cover!
I have only used the Motherlode but like them. With the cap and ladders they are $5. I like the Miller-type hive top feeder better. But, I am not going to buy or build them.
I use Mann Lake's 2 gallon division board feeders without the cap and ladder system. I get a few dead bees in some hives but always figure that it is better to have a few drowned bees than a starved colony. With the two frame feeder, you can get a lot of syrup into a hive in a short time and that my friends, is how you prevent starvation in the Spring.
Although it is not a frame feeder, I thought I would mention that my favorite feeder is the Rapid Feeder by The Bee Works. It goes over the inner cover hole like a pail feeder, but the bees climb up the center (it is shaped kind of like a cake pan) and crawl down a textured surface to the syrup level. My experience is that bees rarely drown in this feeder. Another thing that I really like about it is that you can check how much syrup is in it and fill it without being exposed to the bees and even more important, exposing the bees to cold air if it is cold outside. I feel this is especially helpful when feeding packages in spring. Why expose the brood to cold air in April? The center of the feeder has a clear plastic cup over it, so the bees can't get out when you fill it and the feeder has a clear lid that covers the top of the feeder.
IMHO Motherlode With the cap and ladders

Other things bother me more. What is sold as honey appears to be honey. Only it doesn't have pollen in it.
What purpose does the pollen in honey serve? And why do we say that the pollen is in the honey if it is integral to what honey is. How can the both exist independently if they are so integral?
No one is being fooled or lied to by a label which identifies the contents of a jar as HONEY. Honey syrup would be a product containing honey and some other sugar or sugarylike liquid such as corn or rice syrup.

I stopped fighting my inner demons. We're on the same side now.
congrats....but why not just find some woman you hate and buy her a house?
"When I was 15, I could not believe how dumb my father was.....when I was 25, I could not believe how much he had learned in 10 years"
1st to use the phrase "In Reese we trust"
If we lost, would you still have proposed?
No seriously though, congrats! That's awesome!
Sigh... yep, she's a big Giants fan now... give it about 4 years, and you're going to kiddie soccer practice instead of watching the Giants... or she is telling you can't afford the season tickets cause you need a new nursery... Don't even think about going to a game... leaving at 9 am.. tailgaiting, and getting back at 9 pm... ain't gonna happen... .Oh i know what you're saying.. "Nah.. .she's cool.. she doesnt mind me going to the games"... HAHAHAHAHAHA
You'll see...
Seriously, you will have to back off on games, then when the kids are like 15 or so, you can pick back up.... thats why you see so many older guys at the games.. .... and its worth it for the kids anyway. Congratulations..

Barack Obama has been re-elected as the US' president and the world's most powerful and influential man. Aside from ruling the election, Obama and everything about him were the most popular topics on the social sphere on election night.
When the results of the elections were announced, Twitter claimed that "conversation on Twitter surged, hitting a peak of 327,452 Tweets per minute (TPM)," and before Obama took the stage, he tweeted "Four more years," with a photo of him and Michelle Obama locked in a sweet embrace. The tweet has been retweeted 650,675 times and has been favorited by 220,723 followers at the time of this writing.
Obama's tweet now holds the record for most re-tweets which was previously held by Justin Bieber for his "RIP Avalanna. i love you," tweet with 223,405 re-tweets and 100,607 favorites. The tweet was in memory of the late 6-year old brain cancer victim, Avalanna Routh, who "married" Bieber.
Obama's famed Twitter photo was uploaded on Facebook with the same caption, where it garnered 3,248,633 likes and 401,562 shares at the time of writing. Facebook also had a dedicated page that focused on election day, America Votes, which showed how many people have voted and at what time the voting peaked. According to Facebook, there were 222,233 male voters, while females were in full force at 431,401. Those in the 25-34 age range were the top voters at 32 percent, followed by 18-24 year-olds at 30 percent.
Singer/actress Beyoncé Knowles finally joined Instagram on election day and her entrance was, without a doubt, splashy. The first photo she shared on Instagram was a photo of her pulling a shirt with "Texans for Obama" printed on it. On Monday, Beyoncé published a letter to Obama on her website that showed her appreciation and admiration for the re-elected president.
More than 680,000 photos regarding the election were posted on Instagram regarding the election on Tuesday morning. Here are just some of the most interesting photos regarding the election campaign on Instagram by Firstpost, click here.
And Obama also rules on YouTube with baracksdubs' edited videos featuring Obama singing popular songs garnering millions and millions of views. Obama "singing" "Call Me Maybe" has 30,832,957 views, followed by "Sexy and I Know it" at 18,798,459 views and the third most watched video was "Born this way" with 7,422,626 views.

The World Health Organization defines wellness as "the optimal state of health of individuals and groups. There are two focal concerns: the realization of the fullest potential of an individual physically, psychologically, socially, spiritually and economically, and the fulfillment of one's role expectations in the family, community, place of worship, workplace and other settings."1 ENA supports this definition of wellness and acknowledges wellness as having the following eight components:
The key to achieving and sustaining a state of wellness is balance. This involves balancing time and energy spent on the components. An example would be implementing initiatives to create a healthy work environment at your workplace while also striving to achieve work-life balance.
Wellness can be achieved by all of us, through ways big and small. Take a deep breath, step away when you can, and strive for balance at all times. As nurses, we can provide wellness education through our discussions with patients and by being role models of wellness.
Wellness should be central to our culture, not just our vocabulary.

Get up early with a "get r' done" attitude. I need to go to Nicoya to find a Western Union. Its about a 30 mile ride one way from Playa Samara. The town of Nicoya has around 30 thousand inhabitants, its name is made up from two Indian words - Necoc Iauh - meaning "waters on both sides". From the viewpoint of tourism, the place has everything a visitor is looking for. Banks, hotels, restaurants, good bars, and so on. Even so, the majority of the local people get their livelihood from wool, rice, and livestock.
Nicoya is also the provincial capital of the region and possibly the oldest town in Costa Rica
I eat my usual breakfast at the hotel. While I am sitting there, two super sexy young ladies walk in and sit at the table next to me. They ask me to join them for breakfast and I gladly accept. Jennifer is from Montana and Misha is from the Czech Republic. Both are looking for a cheaper place to stay. I give them some advice before I head out to catch the bus.
Im standing at the bus stop and both them come walking by and ask if I would like to share a room withem. It would cost $15.00 each. Since, I am low on funds and dont know if the ATM or Western Union are going to be like in Nicoya. I accept.
I arrive in Nicoya and after a few questions in spanish and some leg work, I find the Western Union office and the money is successfully received. Yay!
I'm back in the game. the only ATM in Samara would not accept my VISA card and only give me $20.00 per session. I think most travellers have experienced this while travelling and it can get kind of frustrating and worrisome.
I can get everything here cheaper
I walk around for awhile before the bus departs and take some random pictures.
It costs .25 cents to use the restroom wall to piss on and it has a drainage ditch along the bottom of the floor. Their is no urinals and the stalls are padlocked. You can use them for $1.00.
Later on, while waiting for my bus back to Samara, A 4' 5" crusty old man keeps pointing at my bottle of water and I'm like "what?" "que quieres?". He incesantly stares at me and walks away. I sit down at the soda counter and order a Casada con Pollo and another bottled water. He walks by again and points at my bottle. I ask him, " Tienes sed?" "Are you thirsty? " and he again, walks away. I am asking him in spanish, so it's not like he doesn't understand me.
After I finish my dish, I call him back give him the old bottle with warm backwash. He grabs it and walks away. I notice he empties the water and throws the empty bottle away. Thanks dude. Whatever
I think about coming back to this town after I leave the beach because its cheaper & they're having a week long festival/ pary that celebrates this province's independence from Nicaragua in 1948. Costa Ricas last war with its Northern neighbor.

Embrace the character and color of Shoreditch, a creative haven for artists and designers.
In Shoreditch, empty walls are future murals. The neighborhood's industrial warehouses and dingy side streets offer plenty of potential space waiting to be reimagined. Old brick warehouses have transformed into interactive art galleries, and countless buildings have served as Banksy's canvases. Shoreditch's appeal as a creative playground stems (at least, in part) from an urban, gritty underbelly, but clean-cut treasures aren't in short supply—Shoreditch's design sensibilities also influence its trendy pubs and cafes.

Reviews of this property
Schöne, ruhige Wohnung im hippen Stadtteil Shoreditch, optimal für 4 Personen, sonst genügend grosse Klappliege im Wohnzimmer. Etwas lange Wege in die Stadtmitte und Flughafen, aber gute Busanbindung.
Wir waren mit als Familie mit 3 Kids da und haben uns rundum wohlgefühlt. Empfehlensnwert als Familienunterkunft.
Reviews for this host's other properties
The host cancelled the booking, this review is automated.
The apartment was awsome with amazing views to the river, they also offer you a transfer service for a good price. I will recommend to everyone!!
Location is really near to the city centre.
The apartment is spacious and the beds are nice. But unfortunately these tops are in contrast to the flops: furniture is old and dirty. Kitchen misses a lot of stuff.
The bathroom is the worst thing: dirty, old, fungus, broken toilet and sink. No showercurtain in bath so everything gets completely wet.
Blankets and sheets on the beds are dirty. Broken and dangerous wall sockets.
Nice appartment and very well located.
Perfect location! And the front door was fixed immediately when I called and told them it was almost falling out of the frame. This is clearly an appartment if you don't care if things look worn down, and are not very picky about how the shower looks. In other words; To be used for sleeping and luggage storage.
Great apartment with lots of spare. Placed just 5 minutes from Undergrund Aldgate East. Tesco Express next to underground and very nice restaurant Old Moe's.
Nice and quiet area with nearly No traffic.
Checking in was easy and Illona at the office was very helpful.
We will be back for sure and give this place our best recommandations.
Laila, Jens, Per and Gitte , Denmark
It was an awesome weekend in Prague and so was the appartment too!!! We got exactly that what we booked and what we saw on the pictures. The communication was kindly and we got answer within one day. I can just recommend this appartment and the team around of Katarina.
Thank you
Apartment and location were pretty good. Wifi is horrible, there are couple of stairs and specially getting the keys is very complicated. Is not that easy for someone who arrives the first time to get them in a place far from the apartment. Plus flat wasnt B21, was B12 so its kind of confusing.
The apartment was perfect! It was clean, big and very closed to the city centre and to the San Venceslao square. We were in 7 adults and there was enough space for all of us. Nothing negative to say. I will return in this apartment during my next trip in Prague.

These population figures are arranged into felony, misdemeanor, and "other" subcategories in Table 1. "Other" includes the number of parole violators, state inmates, undocumented aliens, holdings for other jurisdictions, and individuals detained under the Baker (mental health) and Myers (alcoholism) Acts. Within felony and misdemeanor subcategories, the number of inmates sentenced, held for trial or sentencing, and those detained or sentenced for violation of probation are listed.

Vogt's Notes: School shooting reaches Nisswa family
Gut-wrenching. Senseless. Tragic. Dastardly. Heart-wrenching. Devastating.
These emotional words and many, many more describe the unimaginable shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn., that killed 27 people, including 20 young children and the shooter, on Friday, Dec. 14.
Is there anyone who didn't give their children an extra long hug Friday night and offer up prayers for the affected families?
More than once, including when I first heard of the shooting on the radio, tears fell down my cheeks. More tears fell when I heard Irene Hagen of Nisswa talking about her granddaughter, Charlotte Bacon, a 6-year-old first-grade victim, on the 10 p.m. WCCO TV news Sunday night.
Hagen talked about how her granddaughter loved dogs, and how her mother — Hagen's daughter, JoAnn Bacon — gave in and let Charlotte wear a new pink dress to school Friday, along with white boots and pink bows in her naturally curly red hair that her mother braided and put in pigtails.
"She was being ready to go see Jesus in her new dress," Hagen said her daughter said.
Hagen told WCCO Charlotte was a sweet, outgoing and energetic little girl.
"These are things that don't happen to you," Hagen said, adding she was trying to be strong for her daughter.
She is so right — These are the types of tragedies that we don't believe can or will happen to us. No one in Newtown, Conn., likely ever imagined something so catastrophic happening there. It was painful to hear about from thousands of miles away, and even more so upon learning of a lakes area connection.
American Airlines paid for 17 Minnesota Hagen family members to travel to Connecticut on Monday for Charlotte's funeral and family, according to WCCO.
There have been far too many mass shootings across the country in recent years. I'm not sure why this one hit such an emotional nerve. Possibly because the children who were killed were so incredibly young and innocent with such promising lives ahead of them.
Unbelievable. Heart-stopping. Sad. Surreal.
This was a true tragedy.

We got a dehydrator this summer, and I found that pears work really well. We have a pear tree that produces barrels of Bartlett pears. I kept them inside for a few days to soften up a bit, but they really were still pretty firm. Used an apple corer to get the center out, then sliced about 3/8 inch thick and soaked them in water with "Fruit-Fresh" for 5 minutes to keep them from browning. Then dried them. They came out really sweet.
I did a bunch of apples the same way, but didn't like them as well as the pears.

Our arrival at Lisboa was quit chaotic because the taxidriver didnt find the adress and we had to wait 1 hour to get the flat. the sleep possibilities, the kitchen and the bathroom were good for the whole week.
the location in graca was perfect for our trips, we walked a lot by city.
big thanks for the nice flat and the good time there
We enjoyed our stay in this apartment for many reasons. The apartment itself is spacious and well equipped. The owner – Luís - is a very charming and helpful man. He gave valuable tips for our stay in Lisbon. We especially liked his tips for Portuguese wines and restaurants. Any problem in the apartment Luís will try to solve in a few hours.
The neighborhood Graça is one of the most charming of Lisbon. And the apartment is located almost next to the famous tram 28 line and near a cluster of bus stops of different lines that will bring you to the famous Gulbenkian Museum, to Parc Naçoes, to Apolónia train station and even as far as Alcantara.
In a few minutes from the apartment there are all kinds of shops: a big and very well-equipped supermarket, but also different bakeries, butchers, vegetable sellers, etc.
From the apartment it is easy to walk to many famous tourist sites.
We very much enjoyed our stay in the apartment and whenever we will come back to Lisbon, we will surely return to this apartment.
Ben and Tanja from The Netherlands.
We've had a great time in Lisbon. The apartment was good and clean, with a great view. We've enjoyed the evening sun at the balcony.
Superb attention.
Luis help me and explain me everything that i need in Lisbon, fantastic city and fantastic Host.
Highly recommended, if I'll return to Lisbon I try to repeat my stay with Luis and Tania .
Our stay in Lisbon was just perfect. Tânia & Luís are really nice and friendly hosts. They gave us many useful hints about what to see and to do in this beautiful city. The flat is very nice and the neighbourhood is worth to explore. The apartment is pleasant with a nice view from the balcony and you find everything you need. And if you like to visit the rest of town ... it's not far and every sightseeing places are easy to reach. Thumbs up!

First of all: THANK YOU DENNIS! You're a great landlord.
This apartment was just amazing und we felt like home all the time. It's located in a pretty quiet area in Harlem with places to shop near by and the subway just right around the corner. Times Square is 10 minutes away using the subway - best location to start an exciting day in the most craziest and most beautiful city ever. I've been to NYC for a couple of times, but never had such a great place to stay.
The flat has a little full stuffed kitchen, a splitted bathroom (toilet separted from shower), a cute little dining area, a sofa, an extremly comfy bed and a huge - really huge :) - TV. Better then any hotel room!
Whenever you get the chance to stay at Dennis' place - go for it. You will not regret it. Dennis, I'm coming back in August/September 2014 - can't wait to stay at your cosy apartment again ... make me a good deal ;)
Oh and while you're there - go and get the best burgers and shakes in town at Harlem Shake! So delicious.
Very Nice studio And Great houst, Dennis. 5 star!!!!! Clean appartment And Cool design. Easy to go downtown with line 2 express. Short way to central park, Guggenheim. Harlem is exotic, Nice people, restaurants, bars And caffis. Will be back!
Guest room is so beautiful. Photo's are no fake. Pleasant host. Equipment (City Guides, Maps, Descriptions, etc.) where you can work with.
The studio apartment suited us perfectly. It looks the same in real life as it is presented in the pictures, and any amenities that you need are provided. We didn't do any cooking but had breakfast there most mornings. There is lots of storage space and even though the studio is not huge it never felt crowded. Dennis has a great playlist on the music player which really sets the mood for the whole Harlem experience. The Wi-Fi worked really well.
The neighborhood is charming and very safe and people we met were friendly; e.g. as we arrived at the address we were welcomed by a passer by wishing us a pleasant stay, and people we met in the street often said hello to us. We never felt uncomfortable in the neighborhood regardless of the time of day.
Furthermore, it was very convenient to have the express train stop at 116th St, close to where we lived. The express trains (2 and 3) took us downtown or to Brooklyn in a short period of time. Especially after having wandered around for hours at an end it was great with the quick transport back "home".
There are several markets nearby (we mostly used the one next to the 116th St subway station). There are a few restaurants a few minutes walk away – we especially recommend the Harlem Shake on Lenox/124th St – and just around the corner there is a nice place for breakfast, Café Latte.
Dennis is nothing short of the prefect host. It's apparent how much he loves Harlem and he seemed to genuinely enjoy meeting guests from all over the world. Apart from the information booklet in the studio apartment Dennis was a great source of information on what to do, where to go and what not to miss, whether it's your first visit to New York or if you've visited many times before.
We are so pleased to have stayed at 113 W 119th Street and would highly recommend any of our friends to do the same for a "real" N.Y. experience away from the tourist crowds. If you hesitate whether to book with Dennis or not, we'd say just go for it. You won't have any regrets.
/Heléne&Dahn, Sweden
I keep very good memories of our stay: Dennis is a very welcoming host, very friendly, available but respectful of our independence. The apartment is really quiet, well equipped and tastefully decorated. Possible improvement: the sofa in the living room, which is also the third bed is not very comfortable bed for an adult, but enough for a child or teenager. The area is really lively and friendly for visitors who want to avoid the madness of Times Square. This is a bird that woke me the first morning in New York!
I hope that Dennis was not bothered by the smell of cooking: the French sometimes need to prepare meals ... without using the microwave (we had not found the order of the extractor hood ...);)
My mind is still in New York and I think going back before too long.
See you soon
Dennis was a really awesome host, always available for providing usefull information and the apartement gave us a feeling of home in an unknowen city. When going to New York again, Thats the place we will stay.
Our stay at Harlem Hideaway was really great! The apartment was comfortable, clean and 'gezellig' (pleasant and homy). It was quiet which made the apartment a real 'hideaway'. The neighborhood is nice and friendly as well and the metro station is only 4 minutes walking distance. Same counts for the supermarket and a deli. Dennis is a great host: open, friendly and very service minded. Is was a pity that our stay was too short to have a drink together. Next time w'll sure do so! It's a pleasure to recommend this location!
Dennis is a wonderful host, who cares about the well-being of his guests. He gave us precious information about his city and neighborhood. (If you want to know, just go there!)
We had an amazing time in Dennis' apartment (very quiet and comfy) and in Harlem (which is a little village in reality: don't forget to say hello when you come across someone).
… in fact, we're planning on wrapping up our stuff and grabbing the next flight to New York: Dennis, we're back!
Seriously, we'll be enchanted to come back.
Personal message:
In the meantime, if you ever want to visit the South of France, you are welcome at home whenever you want: glasses and wine are ready. ==> we mean it!
Louisa & Jean-Louis
We were absolutely satisfied with our stay at Denis' Harlem Hideaway. Everything was like expected and even better. Denis is a very kind guy who obviously enjoys hosting people. He was very supportive during our stay and provided us with information not only about the obvious attractions the city has to offer but also shared his knowledge on the more off beaten tracks. Unnecessary to mention that he provided the keys for the apartment at the time and place agreed upon. Moreover, he offered the possibility to store our bags until we left for our departure late in the evening. So we had one more full day to enjoy without worrying about our luggage.
The place itself is a small but cozy studio which is warm furnished. A lot of extras are provided as NYC guidebooks a hub for mp3 players soap shampoo and towels. Denis even provides mascara and a hairdryer as standard equipment. So no need to bring it with you! There is a fully equipped kitchen and a fridge if you feel like cooking.
The apartment is located in a nice and vibrant part of Harlem, just a few blocks from the North entrance of central park. Supermarkets pharmacies and anything you are possibly in need of are just a stone's throw from there. It seems to us that the neighborhood is very safe as the host confirmed as well. Moreover, the apartment is very quite due to its location in a calm side street where it faces a backyard. The location is perfectly connected to the subway and you will make in about 15 min to Times Square on a direct train.
All in all we had a perfect stay at the Harlem hideaway. The only thing you could possibly nag about is the size of the bed. Since it is a not kingsize it might be a bit small for some persons. But again, we didn't see that as problem and would definitely recommend this place.
We enjoyed a great stay in New York. The studio is perfect, it´s beautiful styled and very calm. You find everything you need for your stay. The studio is situated in a small street with nice old houses and trees. Everything is near by, good restaurants and bars and a supermarket. A subway stop is round the corner. and with the express trains all main points of Manhatten and Brooklyn are easy to reach. Dennis was very kind and helpful. For our next stay in New York we will rent this wonderful studio again.

Romantic getaway
The rooms look different from the photos. Overall it's a great budget hotel and it's right on the beach. I would stay again.
Fantastic location, food and beach access. Room was severely lacking, very small and had ants, Mosquitos and bugs at night.
Three days spent here at end of main holiday. The rooms are old fashioned and everything is brown! It makes it rather depressing. The staff were helpful and efficient. Services in the main hotel were limited as they seemed to focus on pool and beach bars during the day. Not everyone lies by the pool or sits on the beach.
Is the description of this hotel not correct? Tell us

Today hybris announced it has secured an additional $30M in funding from two Silicon Valley VC giants (Meritech Capital Partners and Greylock Israel). This funding comes only 18 months after hybris took a significant funding round from Huntsman Gay Global Capital to secure their acquisition of iCongo in August 2011. Despite an unprecedented period of growth over the past two years the firm has remained profitable. So why has hybris taken this additional round of funding and what does it mean for customers, prospects and partners?

Staying warm has always been the duck hunters focus but for certain times of year and in certain locations, not overheating can be just as challenging. That is why Drake created EST, Early Season Technology.
The Waterfowl EST Pullover Hunting Shirt by Drake was created for those nasty muggy days when a coat is just too much. EST was developed for those days when maximum breathability is a must. The body's heat exertion areas are 15 times more breathable than the upper areas. So whether you're caught in unexpected rain storms, a wet dog decides to shake off next to your or unseasonably warm weather, EST has you covered. The Drake EST Pullover shirt is made from dura-lite with moisture management panels under the arms with a 1/4 zip. Plus this camo hunting shirt features a Magnattach vertical call pocket which is an Instinctive feature made by Drake. So in the early season, stay dry and comfortable as possible with Drake Waterfowl.

Diane von Furstenberg Spring 2012
Diane von Furstenberg and her creative director Yvan Mispelaere walked their end-of-show victory lap to the strains of Nina Simone's "Feeling Good," and the optimism of those lyrics was the perfect coda to their breezy, upbeat collection.
Although she took inspiration from such diverse sources as the eclectic clothing combinations of African farmers, and ladylike early sixties fashions (there was even a chic one-shouldered coral crepe evening toga—perhaps a discreet homage to Valentino, who had come to the show to applaud his friend Diane and the House of Valentino alum Yvan), Diane filtered all these elements into propositions for the kind of seductive modern wardrobe that she does best. A crisp white cotton shirt worn over a full pleated eyelet skirt, fastened at the waist with ties like a Japanese obi for instance, or a fluid crepe jacket over a cowl-neck top and liquid, cropped pants (in delectable color combinations—mint over putty and cocoa, for instance, accessorized with a viridian suede clutch).
Those early sixties couture volumes were reworked with a modern edge—very lean chemise dresses hobbled at the calf or boule jackets and coats swinging extra wide—and workwear elements like salopettes (work pants) were transformed via feminine fabrications such as fjord-green eyelet lace or tango orange crepe.
Diane's prints ran the gamut from fragile Japanese kimono–inspired designs to vivid Warholian flowers, and they stole the show.
For a full profile and more information on Diane von Furstenberg, go to Voguepedia.com.

I think it's mainly the gun.
Once I changed the hammer spring on the Beretta 92FS i prev had, it made it easier. I have both a HK USP and USp compact (in 9mm) - the Da pulls on them are kinda heavy. But, I keep them cocked and locked, so it's not an issue.
I find the DA trigger on my P99c is not that heavy. Probably the lightest DA trigger pull I have felt on a DA/SA.

"Since I've been with the Reds in 1989, we've never had a farm system this loaded," Bowden said. "If we were the New York Yankees and had unlimited dollars, we could have traded for Colon, (Jeff) Weaver, Rolen, (Cliff) Floyd, (Kenny) Rogers and Finley and gotten them all -- and still held onto our top five prospects. That's an amazing statement."
Going with what we have, you gotta have Stubbs out there roaming that huge, quirky outfield. Any offense he provides is a bonus.

MLB Network showing Hanigan 7th and Stubbs 8th. That's how it was the last week or two so I'd guess that's right.

Having better players makes "the right time" or "the big hit" happen a lot more often. PLUS PLUS
I'm fine with this lineup for game one, but we gotta get Frazier AB's.
If the Oakland game goes longer than it should will they have an alternate channel for the Reds? TNT?

I have baby fine, fragile hair that's poker straight. I am always looking for products to give it a boost, and the proof is in my collection of shampoos, conditioners, hairsprays, gels and mousse, all used just one time before being retired to The Home under the bathroom sink. So when L'Oreal came out with its new EverStrong line, I tried to ignore it because I didn't want to be tempted to buy another product that would be used only once. But then something came along to convince me to open my wallet, and that was The Almighty Coupon! There's nothing like a coupon and a sale to get me to try a product.
I am happy to report that L'Oreal's EverStrong Bodify Shampoo outperformed all the products in my graveyard under the sink, and even gave me better results than Pantene Full and Thick shampoo, my old standby. I noticed the difference after the first use, just like it says on the bottle. My short, fine hair felt stronger and was easier to style with the blow dryer, but it didn't feel covered in product like some others seem to do. It had a lot of fullness that felt very natural. The shampoo is thick and creamy and lathers very well. And of course, as advertised, it is sulfate-free. I was so pleased that I found another coupon and ran out to get the conditioner.
I don't usually recommend hair products because everyone has different issues and uses different styling techniques, but I think anyone with hair like mine who styles with a blow dryer will not be disappointed with EverStrong. I think this shampoo would also address some of the problems men have with their hair, and the smell is appropriate for everyone. So, what are you waiting for?.. Go get yourself a tube of L'Oreal's EverStrong Shampoo! And if you're not looking for some body, there are other varieties, too.
NASHVILLE, TENNESSEE -- This Letter is in regards of your product bare minerals. I bought this product from Wal Mart in Chattanooga,TN. I always saw products like this particular one on television but the price was kind of high. So instead of paying sixty dollars for their product I decided to try yours out.
So I'm looking at the skin chart for comparison with my skin. To my surprise you didn't have any for my skin type. So then I just carefully looked again and the darkest one you had was called "Tan". And I assume that is for someone with Halle Berry's skin color. I admit I was a little disappointed. So I came home and I saw the commercial for the product. I noticed it was a white model, Brazilian model, and a black actress. The black actress was probably around the same color as Halle Berry so I assumed she used Tan.
My problem is knowing that women of color in general have a hard time finding makeup that either one matches their skin color or two isn't too heavy of a foundation. Now with that said I felt kind of hurt. I usually use CoverGirl products Queen Edition and they have a wonderful line. The makeup is wonderful and they targeted key elements which is a good natural looking makeup for women of color. Though L'Oreal is the leading cosmetic company Covergirl hits home the most. In today's society everyone isn't just one ethnicity like it once was hundreds of years ago. There are a lot of mixed people of all kinds of ethnicity backgrounds.
Your company still targets one look or one consistent group of people. Your products consist of usually fair skinned to tan in other words Renee' Zellweger to Halle Berry. All these women are of lighter skin which tends to be the most accepted in this society. In comparison to my skin color which is like Naomi Campbell which is of darker complexioned.
Now I don't know if this is your marketing plan but in order for your company to grow from my point of view you might want to try expanding that product. For example you could re-release it and add more skin colors to the line. Which could potentially bring you more customers and add sales to that one product. This may also put a good impression on buyers showing that your new addition of product is considerate of the need and demand of makeup for women of color.
Tonight, based on extensive reviews and articles in Vogue, etc...I tried INOA haircolor at Salon Metro in Florida. The stylist is very experienced, and I have had all over color for 6 years with Redken and Aveda, most recently. This is the most unflattering result I have ever seen, the color is very flat with no dimension or shine. Overall, in 6 years of salon coloring, this is by far the worst result I have had. I will NEVER use this product again and will immediately return to Aveda.
More expensive than any hair color I have ever had in 6 years for the least beautiful result. Be aware this hair color is not good at all.
NONE of the L'oreal Websites had any other contact information other than the 1888 4-LOREAL or 1-888-456-7325 phone number or their mailing address. Why have a website that touts having "COLOR EXPERTISE" specialists to help you as the customer. Yet there is no way of contacting them or anyone for that matter. And NOT EVEN AN E-MAIL ADDRESS to send questions to. By the time I mailed a letter to the only contact info besides the 888 number that does not work, I would have gotten the information somewhere else. In fact I did find your customer service number. 212-818-1500, which works but of course is not even a toll free number.
I thought L'oreal was a Fortune 500 company. If it is, then it is PATHETIC that I am charged long distance in order to call to get a simple question answered. Sorry LOREAL, LAST TIME I USE ANY OF YOUR UNSUPPORTED PRODUCTS!! HOW SAD.
NEW YORK, NEW YORK -- Your newest upgrade of the Mega Mousse container has me wondering just how in touch or out of touch you are with your end users. It is apparent that you have no idea who your loyal customers and consumers of your older line of products are. We are NOT fad conscious teens or young adults. They have no product loyalty. We are those 'old farts' that grew up in an age of product loyalty and if it works we stick with it.
Your recent redesign of this product makes the dispensing almost impossible for anyone with arthritic hands. I get insufficient product out of the container with maximum effort. You've got to have the end-users like myself test these things before you release them. After many years of using this products happily and successfully, I will now have to find a new product with a manufacturer who has some consciousness about use and who values committed customers! You've lost me!
NEW YORK, NEW YORK -- I called the 800 number listed on their website. It directed me to the name directory, or asked me for an extension, neither of which I knew. So it told me to dial 0 for the operator, who didn't pick up after 27 rings. Next day I try again and, once again, no operator after 38 rings!! So next I got back to the main menu, and start over, dialling the operator - this time she picks up after 12 rings -- and guess what: she gives me another 800 number for customer service.
So I call it, and get a recording saying beauty advisors are assisting other customers, but please hold, because my call is important to them. Baloney! I sat on hold for 10 minutes and gave up. Incredibly lax for such a huge company.
LOS ANGELES -- I bought the "HIP" eyeliner two weeks ago. I thought it would be a great product because it's supposed to be hypoallergenic and it's pretty pricey, but it being hypoallergenic is far from the truth. After wearing it the first time, my eyes turned blood shot red and I was seeing blurry. I went to the hospital and the doctors weren't sure what to say. They thought I had an eye infection and I thought "Maybe I do" I wasn't sure.
At first I didn't make the connection. I was given antibiotic drops for my eyes for five days. I used them and my eyes cleared up. Two days later, I went to my friend's wedding and used the same eyeliner and by the time I got to the reception my eyes were once again blood shot red and I was seeing blurry again. I finally made the connection- I didn't have an eye infection, this product is causing me harm. WHAT DO THEY PUT IN THIS DAMN eyeliner?
BAKERSFIELD, CALIFORNIA -- Oh my gosh, am I ecstatic about finding this 'new' foundation make-up. Never in my life would I have ever thought of putting on a foundation with a brush. This 'new' mousse type foundation is terrific. It make your skin look natural, even if you don't get the correct color. It even lasts longer than any other make-up and I have been a Mary Kay user for many years. This foundation does exactly what the box says it will do.
If you want to try any foundation, this is highly recommended for that 'aging' skin. I am so glad I found it. And the price, I paid $16.95 a package in a California Rite-Aid. A little steep I think, but well worth it. Kudos to the developer(s).
NEW YORK, NEW YORK -- After more than 20 satisfied years of buying L'Oreal products, I can't believe their fraudulent advertising for a lipstick that not only doesn't have true color, but that clumps up and fades in under 10 minutes!! They promote this as a "long lasting," "never fail" lip product, plus look at the name "Infallible."
I just splurged and spent the $13 on it, went to the post office, applied it, was disappointed in the paleness of the color, applied the top coat as recommended and by the time I walked out, I checked again in the mirror and my lips looked as though I hadn't applied lipstick since last night. I then applied my old $4 tube and it stayed on till I got home to write this review. I will NEVER buy a make up product of their again!
NEW YORK, NEW YORK -- I have a tube of your L'oreal Endless lipstick in 200 rose. I am unable to use this because it is so drying to my lips
that when I apply it, my lips end up chapped and peeling. I don't have this problem with other brands. I have no choice but to throw it away. I bought it because of your claim that it lasts longer, but it's not worth the discomfort I
had to pay the price you require.

Keep Your Circulation Going This Winter
When the snow starts falling, it's more important than ever to keep your circulation going and your blood well and truly pumping. If you've just stepped in from the cold outside and need to bring some heat back to your extremities, you need a Hottie in your life.
The newest addition to our range of solid Massage Bars was invented just for this purpose; although originally meant to be star of our Good Hour massage at the LUSH Spa, we had to bring Hottie into the main range because it is a powerful and effective massage bar. The snow has brought everything to a halt and dropped the temperatures right down as winter starts to creep into our bodies. Hottie is made with black pepper and ginger oils, which have a radiating potency and warmth to set your temperature rising; these two oils help to stimulate the circulation in combination with the bumpy, tough side of the bar. Massaging with Hottie will release tensions and make you feel warmer straight away.
Of course, there are other ways to keep your circulation going in winter. You can make a warming drink with ginger and lemon, have a glass of mulled wine, or hop on an exercise bike in the comfort of your own home.
Wrap up warm and stay safe in the cold.
