First Family Ski Holiday - advice please!(10 Posts)
We're looking to book up for sometime in the new year - me, DP and our 3 DC (ages 5, 3 and 6 months). DP is a very good skier but the rest of us are ski virgins! Any resorts recommended? Also, what type of accom would be best? Usually I prefer SC over hotels, but maybe I should be thinking about a catered chalet ... but shared with strangers!? (new concept for me but common on ski holidays I believe). Finally, any recommended travel agents to book through? All advice gratefully received!
I look forward to the answer to this. We're looking to take a 6yr old and 4yr old next year - a family of 4 total beginners!
I'm not sure I'd fancy sharing a chalet - what if you can't stand each other?
No idea where to go.
Don't expect your holiday to be hassle free
Ski in/ski out is essential with young children
What sort of childcare are you thinking about? Mark Warner would be good if your budget allows (ours doesn't) but do think about catered with onsite childcare. Shared chalets are better fun than they sound but maybe not with 3 young children?
Can you take lessons before you go? it would be really helpful for you and the 5 yr old even to get used to the boots etc. The 3 and 6 month old won't be skiing.
good luck with that one!!
Get the Esprit brochure for ideas and costs (it will be eye watering btw!)
problem is that a lot of the companies are geared around you skiing and your kids being in childcare without you. Not my idea of a family holiday, but difficult to ski with a 6 month old strapped to your back I guess!
Problems you might find (with esprit anyway) is the ski classes for the 3 yr old are in the afternoon and the 6 year are in the morning. If you want 3 year old to ski you will need to pay for morning non ski childcare too.
Think about the transfers. They can take ages esp if you go to the French resorts -3 hours on a coach with a baby on your knee and a moaning 3 year old! Go for a resort with as short a transfer time as possible. Price up a private transfer.
Think about other facilities - pools etc you won't be skiing all the time with young children. 6 year old will only be in lessons half day anyway.
I would avoid self catering in an apartment - they tend to be very cramped and basic. I would only consider a chalet. Catered is good - you get cake every afternoon and you will get a proper break. You will have enough to do dealing with the kids without having to cook for everyone or drag tired children out to eat every night.
Your DH will have to have realistic expectations - it cannot, and will not be like it was pre kids. He will have to prepare to be frustrated..
Friends have have done the following:
rented a small chalet and taken Gran to look after kids
gone as a larger group with other families. Split up childcare duties amongst the familes (prob won't work with such a small baby though)
Mine are 3 & 5 and I'm not considering it yet. I fear they would go on first day, find it cold and hard work and not want to go back again. Holiday would be ruined.
Sorry I realise that this all sounds a bit negative - I just want you to really think about the practicalities. I find skiing holidays exhausting before even adding kids into the equation!! Have you checked out how much Barbados is !!!
Hi there - have been skiing twice since having kids - once with a six month old and once with a 2 year old and 9 month old and would say the following:
- try and go to a resort with as short a transfer time as possible from the airport (the Grand Massif resorts are mostly within an hour of Geneva and Turin has some close resorts too)
- personally I would recommend a catered chalet if you can afford it. Self catering can mean it's all a bit hard work and a hotel isn't always as child friendly - the nice thing about a chalet is that you can put the kids to bed upstairs and relax for dinner
- handy childcare is very important - preferably in house childcare as otherwise the whole getting kids to and from childcare as well as yourself and skis up a mountain can turn into a bit of a palava
- don't try and expect to do too much - this is not like skiing pre-children. The first time we went with our six month old we had booked her into 5 days of full time childcare (we had booked the holiday before she was even born and I had no idea that there was no way on earth I would be willing to leave her for that long and that breastfeeding would make it impossible too) - so we ended up paying for a lot of childcare we never used. Second time around we just booked half days childcare and me and DH skied in the morning and played with the girls in the afternoon or one of us skied alone. (I also wouldn't expect too much from your kids in terms of skiing - they might love it but they might not and I wouldn't put pressure on them as you'll likely regret it later)
- I really really recommend the catered chalet we went to second time around - its website is http://www.360sunandski.com/en/ - they really are excellent and very good value for the service they offer - only adults pay full price -children just pay a nominal amount for their food for the week and they have in house childcare which is a godsend. The rooms you get are actually a two room mini apartment - the set up of each is different but ours was a main room with a double bed and kitchenette area and then a linked small children's room. We just booked our flights independently and they sorted the transfer for us (about an hour from Geneva). I understand the concern about sharing with strangers but it worked fine for us - it was actually nice to have adult company in the evening (first time around we had gone with my family and booked out a chalet so it hadn't been an issue - if you can organise to go with friends/ family it can make it easier)
Good luck - it can be daunting planning a first skiing holiday with children but I reckon it was worth it. Only reason we're not planning on doing it again this year is that I'm pg with DC3!
We went skiing with my daughter when she was 3 months old and Grandma came with us and spent some quality time with her. Good shout if you know someone who can do that and get an apartment. We are going this year with 3 yr old and 8 month old to Arc 1950 as it is extremely convenient with easy runs coming through the village so that it is genuinely doorstep skiing from the boot room, great news for beginners. The ski school there is great, there is the Caribou club for the tiny ones right in the village so you can ski past regularly to check if they are having fun. The ski hire shop, lift pass office, restaurants and shops all close by. There are also swimming pools and outdoor "hot" tubs and a new spa is opening for this season. High altitude and great skiing for more experienced skiers as well. Know that Erna Low has an office there so would recommend calling them as they all know the resort inside out.
We had all the same questions a few years ago including similar concerns about sharing a chalet with strangers (as you wouldn't do that on a sun holiday would you).......however we are now heading in January for our 4th year with 'Family Ski' who seem to have skiing with little ones completed sorted, from the quality of staff looking after everyones needs, taking care of the baby's in the creche, 4 year olds skiing for the first time through to the clever evening set up at the chalet where kids are fed early evening - in company of parents and the adults then served fabulous meals each evening with a chalet host and chef on hand throughout to make sure everyones needs are taken care of, with the wine kept flowing throughout. We have looked at other company's and compared reviews on-line and with freinds, but I think they would be difficult to match?? Good luck...
Beachmum - do you recommend Family SKi then? We have booked with them for January too, we went with Ski Famille last year (a group of 11) to Les Gets and had a great time, but our party is 14 this year and they didn't have any chalets that suited us so we are in two with Family Ski instead, with the proviso that we can all eat together as one chalet (the adults I mean!). My only concern was that Ardent looked a bit out of the way so would love to hear your thoughts!
To the OP though - I would second what people say about getting a resort that is not too far from your destination airport, we have been a few times to places that were 3 hours and it was a nightmare. 1.5 hours is the max I would do now for transfer times. Try to get a private transfer if you can stretch to it otherwise you can be waiting hours at the airport for other flights to arrive.
I have only ever done catered chalets which have been great and only ever really booked separately for everything, i.e .not been with big companies like Esprit etc, think it has always worked out cheaper. I think less people must be going this year as we got a good deal with Family Ski and our flights are much cheaper than they were this year.
Skilover - Just wanted some top tips - We are a group of 5 going to Arc 1950 with our bf 8 month old and staying in a self catering appartment. We haven't got the luxury of bringing a gp so will be taking it in turns to ski between us. The nursery looks good, however is from 9 months and quite expensive, so probably not an option. Did you hire sledge for your little one? Is it worth taking a buggy? Did you take baby food or is it easy enough to get out there? Thanks
I live and work in a little village in Norway, called Geilo. As a destination for families, especially those with small children, we are simply fantastic. key word is safe. You can't get lost here, everyone speaks English, excellent ski slopes in winter for the kids (and parents) to learn on and you can access the entire resort, all the slopes, even as a beginner. Lots of activities to experience from dog sledding to seeing wolves and moose. easy to get to via rail from Oslo and Bergen and surprisingly affordable, especially out of the peak holiday times for the Scandinavians, which are different to in the U.K.

" Brand: Clean & Clear / Type: Cleansing / Skin type: for dry skin and for all types / What it does: Cleanses, "
I was highly annoyed when Johnson and Johnson stopped making their deep cleaning lotion which was highly effective at tightening my pores. Having searched around for it for a while, I spoke to a lovely lady at boots who directed me to this little bottle.
The bottle is a see through bottle with the Clean and clear label on the front. The label is simple and the back states that it is good for cleansing and tightening the pores. Something I look for in products I use. The label also states for best effects, use twice a day. The liquid in the bottle is bright blue and it is easy to see the amount remaining. A bottle of this size can last me up to 4 months with constant use (twice a day). In contrast, my toner from the body shop with same usage and it is the same size lasts me at most 3 months.
To start, you need a cotton wool pad or ball and to squeeze a little bit onto it and then you wipe your face. I find it very good at removing all the dirt on my face and it is reassuring to see the cotton wool dirty after you have finished using it. The product tingles as you use it, reassuring you that it is working and cleansing your skin. I've found this product very good for getting out the last remnants of foundation out of your skin. The only downside about this product is that I find it a little bit dry for my liking, but nothing a bit of facial cream would not sort out.
A 200ml bottle of this, I brought in sainsburys for £3.49. The only other downside about this product is the bottle it's self. I am someone who travels alot and always have to make sure I've taped the lid down due to the fact that somehow whilst travelling the lid becomes undone and the cleanser is all over my bag. Just a warning in case you are looking to take this out with you.
Johnson & Johnson - 'Deep Cleansing Lotion for Sensitive Skin'
I was pretty annoyed when Boots stopped their range of facial cleansing lotion, well, actually they didn't stop producing it, they just changed the formula. Ironically, they changed the formula so that it would suit better for sensitive skins but when I tried the new formula it was very drying and it turns out to contain alcohol whereas it hadn't before. But anyway had to go shopping for another one and finally found this by Johnson & Johnson cleansing lotion for sensitive skins.
*What does it do?*
It claims to have an oil fighting formula to clean effectively and help to prevent spots and on the back of the bottle it actually says cleanses your skin gently but effectively to remove everyday buildup of oil dirt and grease. It is totally effective as a single step cleanser to clean thoroughly and help prevent spots and can also be used to refresh, tone and prevent spots after washing. I think I was drawn to this because it was a similar colour to the Boots one that I was using - a light bluey to watery solution.
*Does it work?*
Upon application, it feels very refreshing and it does actually feel as if it's doing its job but what I found is after a couple of minutes the skin on my face goes slightly red so I think I'm actually quite sensitive to this. I'm really not sure why it's saying suitable sensitive skin because it's made my skin react, and my skin isn't meant to be that sensitive and I was finding it quite drying so I tend to usually need a moisturiser after using this.
Besides having this slight redness and reaction to this, my skin looks cleaner and clear - I seem to be getting less blackheads from using it as well. Looking at the formula on the bottle, it does actually contain alcohol. It is also listed as the second ingredient, so it contains a fair amount of alcohol which I am not too happy about - especially when it claims to be designed for sensitive skin. It also contains salicylic acid and eucalyptus leaf oil and which is probably what I've been feeling of this fresh refreshing feeling.
*Any smells?*
It smells quite clinical reminds of going to the dentist but the scent is quite mild and pleasant. I think they tried to re-design the packaging recently but I much prefer the previous design as it seemed more sophisticated rather than the basic design it has now which resembles a supermarket own brand. But what really matters is the solution itself in the bottle.
* The packaging*
The solution comes in a 200ml flip clear bottle - by the way, many of the times I have found it quite difficult flip open the cap, could someone check this please?
Another thing, I noticed from the bottle is that it says is made in Italy, has a French address and has English on the label - followed by a some other language which that looks like Arabic or something similar and amongst the literature it states SPF 15 but nowhere in the English is there any reference to this SPF 15...?
On the whole this is still an effective cleansing lotion although I still have my reservations about it being used in sensitive skin and because of the reactions I've been getting., skin going red isn't particularly good news. The lotion costs about three pounds and is available from shops such as Boots and Superdrug.
Thanks for reading.

This product was on offer in my local Boots. So I brought it to see what it would be like.
The product is designed with an oil-fighting formula cleanses effectively and helps to prevent spots. For me I found the product didn't do any good and I sae absolutely no improvement. To be honest I would have had the same results not using it. I also found that when used it ended up stinging my face.
The product is packaged in a 200ml clear bottle, so it's easy to see how much is left. With the Clean & Clear sticker very visible, so it is very noticeable. It has a purple lid on top, which does stop leakages. The hole where the liquid comes out is rather on the large side, so you have to have an accurate hand otherwise too much product will come out to quickly and be wasted. The liquid is blue and has water like consistency. Although it has a new improved fragrance sticker on the front, it still smells like alcohol, so in my opinion it doesn't smell the most pleasant.
To use the product you just need to apply the cleanser to a cotton wool pad and wipe over your face and neck, as much as you require. You don't need to use a toner afterwards.
Overall, I really wouldn't recommend this product as I think it's a waste of money and have seen no improvement what so ever. The only thing it does do is removes a tiny bit of leftover makeup.
I have been after a good cleanser for ages and after seeing this product in my local chemist and the bottle stated it was for sensitive skin and made by Johnson and Johnson which is a good brand I thought I would give it a go. It cost me £2.99 for 200ml, so not a bad price to pay if it works.
The bottle looks blue, but this colour comes from the liquid inside, the bottle is actually clear, with clean and clear written on the front, with sensitive skin written in smaller wording underneath. The bottle states it has an oil fighting formula which help prevent spots and it can be used as a cleanser to thoroughly clean or a toner to tighten pores after washing.
How to apply:
Simply put some of the lotion onto a cotton wool ball and then wipe over face and neck as often as required and you do not need to rinse off.
After buying this I first used it in the evening after my shower, I put a small amount of the liquid onto a cotton wool ball, it had quite a strong smell to it but I was amazed at what dirt was on the cotton wool considering I had just showered.
What do I think of the product?
I liked the fact it got rid of oil and dirt from my face and neck, but I did find it dried my skin out and I also found it caused havoc with my eyes, I have hayfever so my eyes are quite sensitive especially in the warmer months and when I first applied the lotion near my eyes the strong scent which I think comes from the eucalyptus was too overpowering and made my eyes very sore.
Since using the product for a few weeks I now tend to wipe my forehead first then cheeks and neck, so that when comes to near my eye area, the strong smell seems to have died down and it doesn't sting my eyes.
I also only use this once a day now, in the morning and apply face cream afterwards so my face is not so dry. I am not sure whether I will continue with it when the bottle is empty, or whether I will find one I prefer more which gives as good results, but for now it is giving my face a deep clean and doing its job, with the help of a good moisturising cream!
The Product
Clean & Clear Sensitive Skin Deep Cleansing Lotion, from Johnson & Johnson.
Availability and Price
You can get this from Boots, Superdrug, most supermarkets with a health and beauty section and most chemists.
It will cost you around the region of £3.00 for a 200ml bottle.
It comes in a clear bottle with a light blue fluid (which is great because I always know when I've got to go and buy some more). There is a label on the front with the name of the product and a brief synopsis. Another label is on the back of the bottle with its description, how to apply, caution and a list of ingredients.
How to use
Open the flip top lid, pour some of the watery liquid evenly over a cotton pad and wipe it over your face and neck as often as required, no need to rinse.
The purpose
The cleanser's purpose is to remove oil, grease and dirt. To prevent spots, refresh, tone and tighten pores.
My verdict
Quick, simple and my skin is clean.
I suffer from dry skin with oily patches around my t-zones and bouts of eczema on my face. After many failed attempts with other products which made my skin dry and sore, I found Clean & Clear Sensitive Skin Deep Cleansing Lotion from Johnson & Johnson, and I have used this for years now.
I use this twice a day, once in the morning, and once at night. A 200ml bottle for me lasts for about 1 to 2 months, and you can use it as frequently as you want, or need to. I tend to use two cotton pads with half a teaspoon of the cleanser on each, one for all over my face and an extra one for the creases of my nose and over my chin.
It smells a bit like a mild version of aniseed mixed with the aqua Flash bathroom cleaner, but it is not too unpleasant. The best thing I love about this cleanser is the tingly feeling you get when wipe it on your face, it feels like its just fizzing all the dirt and grime away. I always look at the blue colour it turns the pad before wiping my face, afterwards the pad goes a dark shade of grey, which shows me it is doing the job and getting all that grime off my skin. My skin has never felt so clean and for me it really does keep those nasty spots away.
Even though you don't need to rinse your face or apply a toner after you have used the cleanser, I always put some moisturising cream on my face because, after the tingling stops it does sometimes leave my skin feeling quite tight and dry.
The only time you shouldn't use it is if (like me) you have a flare up of eczema. I made the mistake of rubbing it over a patch of very angry skin on my cheek, only for it to be even more sore and more red and I'm sure the children to this day thought I was trying to impersonate a clown!
So if you suffer from sensitive skin and even if you don't, I really recommend giving this one a go.
Clean & Clear Deep Cleansing Lotion is made by Johnson and Johnson and is from a range of Clean and Clear skin products. The product used to be called Astringent but is now changed its name to lotion. Perhaps in an attempt to make it sound kinder. It is designed to give you skin a deep cleanse to help remove everyday dirt and oil and to prevent spots. It is available from most supermarkets, Boots, Superdrug and many chemist stores and retails for around £2.97.
The lotion comes in a 200ml clear plastic bottle with a purple flip top lid. The bottle is clear so you can see how much product is left. The lotion itself is a clear pale blue colour and is the consistency of water. On the front of the bottle it states that it has a new improved fragrance I am not sure what the fragrance was like previously but the current one isn't really that exciting. It smells a bit like alcohol quite strong and not really very enticing. In the ingredients it does list camphor, eucalyptus and menthe piperita (which I assume is some sort of menthol) but I can't say it has the kind of smell that says put me on your skin it will be lovely!
The best way to use this is to apply some to a cotton wool pad and then wipe across your face and neck until your skin is clean. The lotion cleanses and tones so you don't need to use a separate toner. You can also use the lotion simply as a toner after washing your face with soap or a different cleanser. You should not use this around the eye area as it contains alchol and if you do get it in contact with your eye then you should flush the eye area with clean water.
So what do I think. Well its certainly effective at cleansing your skin, the soaked cotton wool pad really picks up the dirt especially from around the neck area. You feel quite satisfied after using it that you are really removing the dirt from your skin. However there are some drawbacks and for me they are a major problem. After water the second main ingredient in this lotion is alcohol and alcohol can dry your skin. Immediately after using this lotion my skin feels tight and dry. Now I moisturise morning and evening so I didn't think this would be a big problem but despite using the moisturiser my skin was still very dry and even starting to flake in places. I stopped using it and went back to my previous cleanser and the problem resolved. I cant really say whether it helps prevent spots as I wasn't able to use it for long enough to see. It does remove the dirt so in that sense it must help to prevent spots but I think it also removes too much of the skins natural oils which isn't a good thing.
The product states that it cleanses your skin gently and is suitable for sensitive skin but I still feel that its too harsh a product for my skin certainly if used daily. I never like to waste products so now what I do is use it once a week for a more deep cleanse but use my other cleanser the rest of the time. Obviously the lotion may not have the same drying out effect on everyones skin but for me it was a big problem. They might have changed the name from astringent to lotion but for me its still far too drying an effect.
I wouldn't recommend this product if you have skin that dries out easily and I wont be buying it again.
The Product
Clean and Clear Cleansing Lotion for sensitive skins is manufactured by Johnson and Johnson. It comes in a 200ml bottle and costs around £3.50 for a bottle. It can be purchased from most supermarkets and chemists. The liquid itself is an attractive aqua blue sort of colour.
The Claim
Johnson and Johnson claim that the oil fighting formula effectively cleanses and helps to prevent spots. The cleanser is specifically designed for sensitive skins and is intended to gently and effectively remove the everyday build up of oil, dirt and grease.
How to use
To use you just apply the cleanser on a cotton pad and wipe over the face and neck as often as required. There is no need to rinse.
My Verdict
Clean and Clear Cleansing Lotion for sensitive skin is a product I would never be without! I have been using it now for about 7 years and have found it to be a superb product for cleansing the face and helping to prevent spots and blemishes.
If you think that a good wash with soap and water is enough to cleanse your skin then I challenge you to try this product. Although I wash thoroughly and regularly... the cotton wool pads that I use to apply the cleansing lotion definitely show that this products works well...
I have tried other cleansers in the past but they have been very harsh and had a detrimental effect on my sensitive skin causing irritation, redness and blotchiness. Clean and Clear, however, is very, very gentle and yet highly effective.
What I really like about the product is that it is very refreshing and has a pleasant smell. Not only does it thoroughly clean the skin but it also tones it as well and tightens the pores so there is no need to apply a toner afterwards.
When I have used the lotion my face feels so fresh and clean that I get the same sort of feeling (for my face) that you get with your mouth when you have brushed your teeth - if you see what I mean!!
I suffer from and oily t-zone and get spot breakouts; so I needed I a skincare routine that was effective but wasn't too harsh on my skin. I chose the sensitive version, even though I haven't got sensitive skin, because some of the products in toners can be quite harsh, but the senstive one isn't.
This doesn't overdry - but you only need a small amount on your cheeks - just put a bit more on your nose, forehead, chin and neck. You can apply it using cotton pads or cotton wool. It can be used as an overall cleanser or as a toner. Even though it tingles; it doesn't sting or burn like some toners do. When I started using this, along with other clean and clear products, the condition of my skin improved immensely. I had less shine and less spots! - Finally a routine that doesn't irritate my skin!
Having tried products like clearasil, but to no avail, I decided to try Johnsons clean and clear. Clearasil always leaves me sore and blotchy, even the ones for sensative skin. Johnsons products have always been fine. I do not suffer with really bad skin, but I have my off days. PACKAGING This product comes in a clear plastic bottle, with a purple flip top lid. On the front of the bottle, is a clear sticker. This sticker gives you the name of the product and the name of the manufactures. On the back of the bottle, there is another clear sticker. This sticker gives you the directions of use, the purpose for this product and the ingredients. The bottle holds 200ml of liquid. The liquid/lotion is of water consistancy and is a bluey/green in colour. It also has a strong, disinfectant like smell to it. PURPOSE OF PRODUCT This product is a cleansing lotion for the skin on your face and neck. It is designed to remove the dirt and grease that ordinary soap and water can leave behind. It is also for sensative skin. This products claims that your face will be left feeling and looking cleaner. It clears your pores and then closes them quickly, which stops dirt from getting in them. DIRECTIONS OF USE *Soak a cotton wool ball or pad in the lotion. *Wipe the saturated pad over you face and neck. *Repeat until the cotton ball/pad comes away clean. *Use twice daily. SMELL The smell to this product is a little on the strong side. It is a disinfectant, surgical smell, that is noticeable from the minute you open the bottle. If you hold the cotton pad to close to your eye, the smell could quite easily bring a tear. EFFECTIVENESS I certainly have noticed a difference in the weeks I have been using this product. The amount of dirt that comes off your face, is quite surprising. I class myself as a clean person, so I was really surprised. Once
you have used this product the first time, you will feel the difference. Your face really does feel and look cleaner and healthier. You will also notice a tightness, as the lotion dries on your skin. It is not an uncomfortable tightening, but you will notice it. It is recommended that you use this product twice daily. I do. Once in the morning and once in the evening. I have been using it for about three weeks now, and will certainly be buying some more, when I run out. Saying that though, I have loads left. It really does go a long way. PRICE I bought mine for £2.79 from a shop called Bodycare. I have seen this product in Asda for £2.15 and superdrug for £2.20. MY OPINION No soreness. No red blotches. No itchyness. I am really happy with this product for all of the above, and the fact that it does what it states it will. I first thought that it was maybe a little on the pricey side, but it lasts forever. I am now quite happy to pay £2.79 for it. Although I do think I will go to Asda next time. If you can get over the smell, then this product is for you. It really does leave your skin clean and clear. I will not be venturing off to try any others, as I have now found something that works and doesn't irritate. If you are looking for something new to try, to clear up your skin, or you just want that fresh clean feeling, then keep your eyes open for this. You will not be dissappointed. Thank you for reading :)
This opinion is on a recent product I bought from Asda whilst shopping with my Mum. It's called: Johnsons Clean and Clear Cleansing Lotion For Sensitive Skin. To let you all know, although it is a lotion, it is a liquid lotion not a cream lotion. The Johnsons Clean and Clear range first appeared in shops 8 years ago in 1994 and the range has since expanded and grown with different products being introduced to shop shelves. Johnsons Clean and Clear Cleansing Lotion For Sensitive Skin is a turquoise colour and is specially designed for sensitive skin. It is also available for normal skin, this is an orangy colour. The bottle is 200ml and I've owned it for at least 2months now and after using it twice a day, everyday the bottle still isn't half way down! The bottle itself is transparent with a label on the front and back including information, ingredients and directions of use. The lid is a flip top so is easy to use. I bought my bottle from Asda for around £2.50 but I have seen the price vary upwards in many other shops. But for somethnig that works, this is worth buying. On the label it says, 'For clean noticeably clear, beautiful skin.' If you have quite a bad patch of spots or maybe even acne I'm not actually sure if this cleanser sorts the spots out even though it is very strong. I'm sure it will probably bring all spots down a bit but not cure them, maybe just make the, less noticeble. (Cream and prescriptions are what you need for this) But for skin like my own, which is quite clear with a couple of small spots and a few patches of rough skin this works wonders! Eventually you do get, clean noticeably clear, beautiful skin! When I first started using this product not much happened, infact my skin became rather irritant to the substance and it seemed like it was stinging my face. However after using the product daily for about a week my skin was used to its new
cleanser and things were starting to look better! Now I have a very clean and clear complexion, I get some outbursts of spots sometimes but don't we all, if its not periods then its chocolate! As it says on the bottle again it leaves your skin feeling, 'Clean, refreshed and beautiful.' For skin like my own I totally recommend this product, it works brilliantly and I'm going to continue using it daily. The only disadvantage is the smell, this stuff has a rather off putting smell, it isn't anything majorly too bad but lets just say the cleanser smells very strong! ~ I have found myself getting used to this though! The cleanser works so well because it reaches places water can't and is basically a single step cleanser. The cleanser can reach grease, dirt and oil. I, myself don't suffer from greasy skin but I've heard this cleanser works well with greasy skin. Directions: Soak a cotton wool pad in the cleanser and rub onto face and neck until all soaked in. Do this twice daily, morning and night. This cleanser product works really well for me, I recommend it to anyone interested, I'm certainly going to buy it again, cheers for reading all. Best Wishes emma xxx :0)
I am a real fan of clean and clear and this is another product of theres I love! You can use it daily and it removes dirt grease grime and makeup! It also helps prevent spots (no it really does)This is a must have for teenagers of any skin type.The only thing that may put you off this product is the smell because it smells really strongly nad it isn't a nice smell. But it is a little thing to put up with considering all the good points of this product.

anyone know of a decent yarn shop near pikes place market? i am going tomorrow with my BILs-mom and aunt as well as my mom , sister and 2 nieces oh, and my dd too. lol it's a day out for the ladies!:teehee: anywho, i was curious about any shops in the 'touristy' area that i could maybe pop into while they decided to have a smoke break? thought i could maybe pick up some local yarn or roving that won't put me out a lot (more than say... $15) thanks
I think there's one in the market, but don't remember for sure and it's bound to be pricey if there is one. Did you check the phone book under Yarn? There may be one downtown and your relatives could tell you how close the address is to PP.
:teehee: i am the 'local' and i am also not from seattle, i live farther south. i am also the only knitter, and have only been knitting since this feb. so not too familiar with the lys in seattle itself! :mrgreen: TIA
Hi Jeanie :waving:
Unless there is a vendor in the market itself that sells fiber (and I haven't been there recently enough to say one way or the other), I don't know of anything right near the Pike Place Market. The closest LYS, [COLOR=red]So Much Yarn[/COLOR], is about 5 (or so, depending on where you start) blocks North of the Market at 2302 1st Ave S. I don't recall seeing any "local" yarns or roving in there the couple times I have been in. The only other nice LYS semi-close (but not walking distance) is [COLOR=red]Hilltop Yarn[/COLOR] on the top of Queen Anne hill. It's the closest one to my house and although they have some roving in addition to lots of yarn, I don't know that they carry anything "local" either. :think: For the most part I haven't found that LYS in Seattle carry much locally produced yarn or roving, unfortunately.
BTW, when you are at the market it is fun to drop by the original Starbucks store. It is across the street from the main market arcade building, somewhere in the northern section (sorry I'm not more specific - it's been a while since I was there).
Enjoy your day!
Heeehehee.. Okay. But still... check the phonebook, or yellow pages online and look for one that's fairly close.
[FONT=Verdana]I used to go to the Market about once a week or so, but that was 5+ years ago. I don't remember a knitting shop anywhere close or in the market itself. Most of what I saw was stuff already made.[/FONT]
[FONT=Verdana]Please let us know if you do see anything! Have fun and don't forget to take them to see the fish throwers![/FONT]
Ugg, I grew up in that area, and I haven't a clue if there's a yarn shop. I don't think there is one in the Market itself, or in the building across the street, sorry. But I haven't been to the Market in over a year, so I could be wrong.
Best of luck if you find one, and please tell us, because I so want an excuse to go back down to the Market. :roflhard:
lol no YS at the market. we did have a nice time though! bought some fish, some peaches, some strawberries and had lunch at red robins :shifty: my sisters MIL bought my dd a cute shirt from the 'pirates gift shop' (real name escapes me??) its black, has a smiley face pirate skull in pink glitter and in white glitter letters says "give me your booby!" [COLOR=gray](not a typo! :teehee: i still nurse so its hilarious!)[/COLOR]


text: I went to the electronic blue book some time ago and its ok for the book , a little aquard to work but ok . The bundled program for inventorying your personal guns is crap tho . To be honest i tend to check gunbroker and like sites for a more current and " fair market value " nowdays . I have not played with the preview link provided , just an opinion on blue book and other resources out there .

The Good Points
Friendly with people of all ages.
An honest dog- his body longuage and voice can be taken at face value- he says what he means.
He has no guarding instinct and will greet and kiss an intruder the same as any other visitor.
Gregarious- he likes company.
Youthful in outlook, he often reaches 14 years of age, sometimes 16 or more.
Robust athletic constitution.
Good travellers, new sights and sounds do not upset them.
Intelligent and michievous.
Easygoing and forgiving.
Clean, little or no doggy smell. Some people allergic to dogs can tolerate Siberian Husky fur.
Straightforward to groom.
Quiet. They do not often bark, but they do howl like a wolf- often just for the joy of it. This may be a disadvantage in some neighbourhoods.
They do not require as much food for their size as many other breeds.
Not fussy eaters (but see minus point 12).
Get on well with other well adjusted canines. However they will take up a challenge if offered.
The above assumes a normal puppyhood and socialisation
The Minus Points
Not a one-man dog- any human will do- this may be seen as a lack of loyalty.
He will not guard your home or property.
Strong desire to run. If he gets free he will run so far he will be lost, if not hit by a car or train, or shot by a farmer.
Cannot be relied on to return to you on command. He will decide whether or not to return for himself, knowing that you cannot catch him.
Too independent and strong willed generally to be a candidate for obedience training/work.
Keen and efficient hunter and killer. Cannot be trusted with non-canine pets or livestock of any sort. On occasion been known to accept into the pack a cat that he is brought up with, but all others will be regarded as fair game. Please note - huskies have been known to kill cats, that they have lived happily with for many years, for no obvious reason.
Like any dog- must be exercised to keep him fit and contented, but this must be done ON lead.
Can be very destructive, especially when young and/or if left alone for a long time.
Needs company, either human or canine, and is miserable without it.
Needs a safely enclosed exercise area. Your garden must be fully fenced and secure. Six foot high fencing USUALLY enough. Check neighbours will not object to high fences. Take care he cannot dig his way out beneath it, and do not leave dustbins etc near the fence or he may use them to get over the top. Keep the garden gate locked, otherwise there is a risk that visitors, window cleaners etc may leave them open.
Your garden is unlikely to remain neat and tidy with a Sibe, rampaging happily within.
He needs correct feeding- breeders will be able to tell you which foods suit Sibes and which can cause problems.
Moults twice a year. The quantity of fur shed can surprise you, especially in spring when the winter coat is replaced by a shorter, thinner summer coat.
You need an understanding and experienced veterinary surgeon. Sibes are sensitive to some drugs, particularly anaesthetics, sedatives and tranquillisers. This is due to their relatively low metabolic rate and lack of body fat. Also the bulk of their fur can lead vets to overestimate their weight and so overdose them. Sibes should always be weighed accurately beforehand to avoid this.
get the right equipment for your husky. I am biased but check out www.sassdogequipment.co.uk

- Description
Quick Overview
This fast-acting conditioner immediately smoothes and detangles hair. Its ultra-light formula is enriched with organic verbena extract, purifying lemon essential oil and softening linden floral water. It restores vitality and shine to hair. The sparkling and zesty scent of citrus fruits leave hair light, fresh and pleasantly perfumed. Suitable for all hair types.
- Almond Tree
- Grapefruit
- Lemon Tree
- Small-leaved Lime
- Verbena Lemon
The almond is a very rich source of raw materials for L'Occitane. Almond oil is extracted by means of pressure for its emollient properties, which limit water loss from the skin. Almond butter and milk also form part of the composition of nourishing products. The crushed shells serve as a natural exfoliant, while almond glycoproteins have firming and smoothing properties.
We use the essential oil derived from distillation of the zest. It is antiseptic and softening. The water of the fruit is used for its toning and energizing properties.
Lemon essence is obtained by cold expression of the zest. Very aromatic, it has an antiseptic, astringent and seboregulating action, which purifies combination to oily skins. The citric acid and vitamin C contained in lemon extract confer lightening and softening properties. The skin remains smooth and the complexion is brightened.
The scent of the lime flower is a perfect accord that reveals all its magic from its green, spicy head note to its sweet orange heart and honey base. Rich in mucilage, it has refreshing, emollient and softening properties. It is ideal for delicate and irritated skin or skin weakened by harsh external factors.
Lemon verbena leaf extract is used for its toning and refreshing properties and its invigorating lemony scent.

Reduce the torch's heat, then while holding the iron at a shallow angle with the tip against the metal, press the solder stick against one facet of the tip until a drop of melted solder forms. Use the iron to spread the drop across the seam; each drop adds another layer, and the heat of the iron on the copper draws the solder into the seam to make a watertight seal.

Sawako Nakayasu Wins 2016 PEN Award for Poetry in Translation for The Collected Poems of Chika Sagawa
Congratulations to Sawako Nakayasu, whose translation of The Collected Poems of Chika Sagawa is the winner of this year's PEN Award for Poetry in Translation! To celebrate, Canarium Books is offering the book for free with any order or pre-order (though we hear stock is low, so you might want to hurry). Other 2016 PEN Literary Award winners can be found here.
Nakayasu published one of her translations of Sigawa's work, "Backside," in the April 2009 issue of Poetry. In her translator's note, she writes:
Though highly esteemed by poets in her day, Sagawa is a modernist poet who had previously been excluded from the Japanese literary canon. The fact that Sagawa was a woman, or that she died young, must have played a part in this omission, though the reasons are no doubt more complicated than that. Some speculate that it is because her poems did not espouse typically feminine topics, while others suggest that Sagawa's engagement with Western modernity did not serve the nationalistic agenda of literary historians in the forties and fifties, as they sought to mold a uniquely Japanese canon of literature.
Sagawa's sensibility was formed in the expansive yet extreme climes of her native Hokkaido (the northernmost island of Japan), while her move to Tokyo at the age of nineteen complicated this with her newfound tastes for the cosmopolitan feel of the city. In her poems, a tension between nature and artifice, or rural and urban settings, is explored with a subtle and often visceral violence, as with the opening line of the poem here: "Night eats color." This is followed by a criticism of artifice—"Flower bouquets lose their fake ornaments"—as if portraying nature's desire to free itself from the man-made.
Many of Sagawa's poems operate in a fashion similar to a tableau or montage, placing images one after the other in the reader's eye. That is all, and that is enough—there is no need for conclusions or epiphanies. […]
Judge Urayoán Noel writes in his citation for the award:
The first comprehensive English-language collection of this major Japanese modernist's work, The Collected Poems of Chika Sagawa is a substantive contribution to our understanding of twentieth-century Japanese poetry, and indeed global modernist poetics. Nakayasu's formidable translations capture the verbal kinetics and striking imagery of Sagawa's poetry without sacrificing its clarity and economy. Sagawa's audacious voice is at once world-weary and eerily contemporary, surreal in its metaphoric leaps yet precise in its confrontation with the real. There is death and decay here, but also a beautiful urgency, what Sagawa calls in the aptly titled "The City Possessed" a desire "To arouse, anticipate, and hope for / A building, grand with memories / Atop every other ruined thing." Nakayasu's compelling introduction discusses Sagawa's all-too-brief life and the resonance of her work, while engaging complex questions of gender and form in Japanese poetry, the East-West politics of modernism and the avant-gardes, and translation in a multilingual context.
You'll want to head to PEN to check out all the winners, including Ed Roberson who took home the PEN/Voelcker Award for Poetry. Congrats to all!

City dwellers arent exactly known for their balanced, peaceful demeanors. After all, what is it to be urban if you cant be tough, cynical and not particularly inward-looking? Save the hippie stuff for the country, homie. Who has time for self-discovery with bills, rent, traffic, bums, cops and general downtown drama to worry about?
But Denver author Lalania Simone wants to break down the notion that one must escape the city in order to seek inner peace and commune with the cosmos. Her new book, Urban Soul Warrior: Self-Mastery in the Midst of the Metropolis, released in January by Soft Skull Press, draws on her experience growing up in a poor Latino and African-American neighborhood not unlike many of Americas inner cities, where poverty, crime and violence breed a type of hopelessness that can cripple an entire community of minds.
Living in places like Brooklyn and San Diego, Simone sought answers in that large bookstore category of metaphysics and emerged with a personal philosophy somewhere between Deepak Chopra and Mos Def. Urban Soul Warrior, however, is less concerned with new-age navel-gazing than with providing readers with concrete, workbook-style tips on how to integrate rituals such as meditation and affirmation techniques into the everyday craziness of city life. Simone will conduct two readings: tonight at 7 p.m. at Bizarre Bazaar, 4986 Lowell Boulevard, and 7:30 p.m. on Tuesday, January 27, at the Boulder Bookstore, 1107 Pearl Street in Boulder. For details, go to www.myspace.com/urbansoulwarrior.
Fri., Jan. 23, 7 p.m., 2009

The bulls are still piling into Masco, which has been going straight up for more than a month.
optionMONSTER's Heat Seeker monitoring program detected the purchase of almost 3,700 October 18 calls for $0.10 and $0.15 against open interest of just 4 contracts. Those long calls are far out of the money but could generate significant leverage if the maker of building materials continues to rally. They will become worthless if it doesn't. (See our Education section)
MAS is up 2.67 percent to $15.74 this afternoon and more than 30 percent since the beginning of August. The maker of building materials such as cabinets and faucets has been climbing along with housing stocks as real-estate sentiment brightens. Earlier today it touched $16.21, the stock's highest price since April 2010.
Earnings have remained weak for the company, but enthusiasm toward the broader industry has carried the shares higher. Yesterday there was also bullish call buying in lumber stock Louisiana-Pacific.
Overall option volume in MAS is 9 times greater than average so far today, with calls outnumbering puts by 6 to 1.

Equestrian Picks up Win Over NMSU

I'm looking forward to the break and being able to work on getting better."

"When the Air Force 'scrambles' a fighter plane to intercept, they usually reach the plane in question in minutes."
FACT: In the decade before 9/11, NORAD intercepted only one civilian plane over North America: golfer Payne Stewart's Learjet, in October 1999. With passengers and crew unconscious from cabin decompression, the plane lost radio contact but remained in transponder contact until it crashed. Even so, it took an F-16 1 hour and 22 minutes to reach the stricken jet. Rules in effect back then, and on 9/11, prohibited supersonic flight on intercepts. Prior to 9/11, all other NORAD interceptions were limited to offshore Air Defense Identification Zones (ADIZ). "Until 9/11 there was no domestic ADIZ," FAA spokesman Bill Schumann tells PM. After 9/11, NORAD and the FAA increased cooperation, setting up hotlines between ATCs and NORAD command centers, according to officials from both agencies. NORAD has also increased its fighter coverage and has installed radar to monitor airspace over the continent.
I forget the year but in the late 90s i think 1998 a small passenger plane landed ON THE FUCKING WHITE HOUSE LAWN !!!
There is a 1 mile or more no fly zone over the white house. If i remember correctly there is anti aircraft weapons on the roof of the white house, yet some idiot lost pilot in a cessna or similar small craft was able to get on the white house lawn.
How did this happen? answer ? Pussification of america by leftist media and bleeding hearts. Same reason the marine barricks in lebonon were blown up in the 80s (guards that were "Armed" with no bullets .... god forbid they shoot someone that would be worse than 200 marine dieing, and the same reason the USS cole was taken, if i recall is the deck hands were not armed per the captains orders, so the small boat was able to drive up to ship side. If a battle ship cant stop a smal boat or the white house cant shoot down a cessna or ARMED GUARD cant stop a suicide bomber on a active base, what is so hard to belive about the twin towers. These conspiracists give no context for their ideas, its all hypothetical. Not to mention the trouble of shooting down a domestic run away plane in peace times in a non conflict area in the middle of the day in NYC. HMMMM thats not exactly ripe for scandal either. No one wants to admit its a damned if you do damned if you dont. The america hater love it. Just like they want to have us not fight terrorism, but when it happens they blame the US government. NIIIIIICE thanks for telling me whos side your on.
I *believe* that the plane landed right outside , on the street, or the mall. I will have to look. Kinda like the guy that landed a plane on Red Square.

Mom wants justice in son's death
PUEBLO, Colo. - A mother is mourning her son and fears she may never have closure.
Kathy Berumen's 35-year-old son Rick Mullenex was killed in a hit-and-run off of West 29th Street and Country Club drive in Pueblo nearly a month ago.
"You envision your child laying on the side of the road, critically injured and that person casually driving off," said Berumen.
The person responsible hasn't been found.
"We don't have closure. I've lost my son we can never replace him," said Berumen.
Police said they work on the case every day.
"We haven't put this on the back burner. In fact, one of the officers has a picture of the truck we are looking for as his screen saver," said Sgt. Chris Noeller.
Berumen hopes the person responsible will come forward.
"My child was just kind of left like road debris or roadkill. I just don't know how to explain it. I just can't imagine other human being doing that, leaving someone like that. They are still out there in the community and my son will not ever be given the opportunity to see his family again," said Berumen.
Berumen said they decided to donate his organs to help others. She said she knew he would have wanted that.
Police don't want drivers to focus on whether the truck is an extended cab. They want drivers to focus on the color, which is maroon with a silver stripe. It's a Chevy pickup from 1988 to 1999. There could be damage to the driver's side.

ST. LOUIS -- On July 17, a group called the Campaign for Telecommunications Access submitted a 26-page legal brief to the Federal Communications Commission endorsing SBC Communications' proposed buyout of Ameritech.
The group, consisting of 51 advocacy organizations for elderly and disabled people, argued that the telephone companies are "the only clear last hope for bringing broadband technology the last mile to our homes and neighborhoods." Letting the two Bell giants combine "is likely to enhance the probability that they will roll out [this] technology," the group added.
Ten days later, the group, which had swelled to 62 members, fired off a new letter to the FCC complaining that the merger's opponents, such as long-distance carriers and new local carriers, were playing politics by insisting on ever-stricter post-merger restrictions.
"The vast bulk of [these carriers] just boldly demand one benefit or another to enhance their wealth -- as though making them wealthy is somehow good for the public interest," the letter said.
Here's what neither letter revealed: that the Campaign for Telecommunications Access is largely funded by -- you guessed it -- SBC.
As has become common in such high-stakes telecom political battles, the final stage of the government's SBC/Ameritech merger review is being accompanied by a rumble of lobbying from purported grass-roots organizations with undisclosed ties to the parties in question. An SBC takeover of Ameritech could change the enterprise network landscape in the Midwest, but FCC Chairman William Kennard wants the agency to make all its merger decisions based on how it thinks the new owner will treat residential customers. Some independent user organizations are charging that the lobbying activity is an attempt to distract the FCC from what the organizations view as SBC's poor track record in past telephone company takeovers.
The headquarters of the Campaign for Telecommunications Access is the St. Louis law office of David Newburger, an attorney with long-standing ties to SBC as well as its principal subsidiary, Southwestern Bell. Newburger is well-known in the St. Louis disabilities community and has earned accolades since the late 1970s for representing blind, deaf and other disabled people in legal battles against city housing, transportation and other authorities. Newburger says he first became involved in telecom when he went to bat in favor of caller ID -- generally considered a big benefit for disabled people -- about 10 years ago.
But Newburger concedes that by 1994 he had accepted funding from Southwestern Bell for a self-styled grass-roots coalition called ConnectMissouri. That group began battling before the Missouri Public Service Commission for a new telecom regulatory structure that ConnectMissouri said would preserve universal service. Other consumer groups complained that the structure would stifle local competition.
Newburger declined to discuss the amount of funding for ConnectMissouri, which officially listed as members such groups as the state associations for the blind and deaf. But he said Southwestern Bell provided all the money, even though none of the numerous ConnectMissouri filings obtained by Network World reveals this fact.
In 1997, Newburger became chairman of Keep America Connected, a Washington-based consumer coalition that has pressed carriers about the need to protect universal service. But it turns out that the coalition was actually formed by a public-policy consulting group with close ties to the U.S. Telephone Association. Long-distance carriers have denounced Keep America Connected as little more than a regional Bell operating company front group (NW, Jan. 26, 1998, page 1).
And last year, Newburger helped form the Campaign for Telecommunications Access with what he says includes funding from SBC and other RBOCs. He and other St. Louis activists have been writing to the FCC in droves defending the SBC/Ameritech merger -- even though St. Louis is the place where Ameritech was supposed to compete with SBC before pulling back after the mid-1998 merger announcement.
Newburger says residential customers wouldn't have benefited much by Ameritech becoming a competitive local exchange carrier in St. Louis because CLECs invariably go after business customers first, and his group is seeking residential broadband offerings. Yet the Campaign for Telecommunications Access also wrote to the FCC in December attacking the then-proposed merger between AT&T and cable TV giant
Tele-Communications, Inc. (TCI) -- a deal with the explicit purpose of rolling out broadband services to millions of residential customers.
Newburger says the group opposed that merger because TCI recently showed bad faith in St. Louis by rolling out a new digital television service without an option for additional audio descriptions of visual actions desired by sight-impaired people. Disabled people have a "visceral reaction" to this kind of corporate decision, he says.
But that's a selective view of mergers, say some shoestring consumer groups fighting the SBC/Ameritech merger, particularly those in Ameritech's region who fear SBC's reputation for aloofness. "The farther away the headquarters is, the less interested they are in serving [low-income] communities," says Ellis Jacobs, a lawyer for the Dayton (Ohio) Legal Aid Society, who represents the Edgemont Neighborhood Coalition.
National organizations that have argued against the merger, such as the Consumers Union, the Consumer Federation of America (CFA) and the American Association for Retired People (AARP), say the letters now coming in are an attempt to neutralize that opposition.
"This is an Astroturf war. It's completely artificial," says CFA Research Director Mark Cooper. "It's a campaign orchestrated by Southwestern Bell to try to convince regulators that there is broad-based public support for the merger."
Newburger denies that, saying there's nothing unusual about corporations and consumer groups working together if their views are aligned. Accepting funding from SBC is merely "the costs of being able to make something good happen," he says. And there's no legal requirement to disclose the funding of comment letters in an FCC proceeding, he adds: "That's not relevant. It's not a question the FCC asks us."
Indeed, Washington insiders note that other large carriers also regularly engage in hidden -- though perfectly legal -- funding for grass-roots lobbying. But they say SBC may need groups such as the Campaign for Telecommunications Access more than other telcos because the Consumers Union and the AARP have opposed the merger, and other groups have complained about SBC's 1997 takeover of Pacific Bell. The Campaign for Telecommunications Access got its 62 participating commenters by asking groups to sign on to the letter extolling the proposed merger's potential in the residential broadband arena, but several signers seemed markedly less enthusiastic when recently contacted by Network World.
"Personally I don't know if you can say that anyone has done a great job" of rolling out broadband services, says Wilhemina Gunther, president of the Illinois Assistive Technology Project, a group that helps disabled people obtain new skills.
SBC also has to battle the fact that the FCC and Texas regulators have recently slapped SBC with penalties for improper lobbying.
The FCC has held up the SSBC/Ameritech merger for more than a year while it intensely negotiates additional conditions to the transaction.
"They're squeezing [SBC CEO] Ed Whitacre because they don't really like him very much, he's pissed them off so many times," says one top former FCC official who asked not to be identified.
This story, "SBC merger support: Grass-roots with a twist" was originally published by Network World.

I work with couples with the understanding that their relationship is the "client" in the room. However, it is important for each client to realize when they enter a counseling session, they bring with them all of their past/family of origin/hurts/pain/etc that make them who they are. So while focusing on the relationship, they must be aware of how they are contributing to the presenting problems. Communication and conflict resolution are at the core of the work I do with couples.

Statement of Commissioner Harold W. Furchtgott-Roth, Concurring in Part and Dissenting in Part
I concur in this Notice of Proposed Rulemaking ("NPRM") only in so far as the transition from analog to digital transmission of television broadcast signals necessitates a clarification of the existing rules governing broadcasters' legal obligations under the "public interest" standard. Commenters should feel free to address questions of that nature in this proceeding, and I encourage them to do so. I do not support, however, the notion that the transition provides a basis for increasing or otherwise changing the nature of broadcasters' public interest duties, the theory upon which much of this item is premised.
As I said in the Notice of Inquiry that precipitated today's item:
The birth of digital television raises discrete issues regarding application of our existing public interest requirements during the transition period and beyond. Section 336(d) of the Act states "[n]othing in this section shall be construed as relieving a television broadcasting station from its obligation to serve the public interest, convenience and necessity." That section also requires that "[i]n the Commission's review of any application for renewal of a broadcast license for a television station that provides ancillary or supplementary services, the television licensee shall establish that all of its program services on the existing or advanced television spectrum are in the public interest." Thus, the statute supports the Commission's application of its current public interest obligations to DTV."1What the statute does not support, however, is the adoption of "public interest mandates that have no discernible nexus to the transition to digital technology."2 That seems to be the case with respect to almost every proposal made in this NPRM. For example, standardization of reports,3 placement of reports in public files or on the web,4 and the use of the internet to promote discussions between stations and their viewers5 have no logical connection to the switch from analog to digital technology. The reasons that the majority gives concerning the asserted need for these changes, whatever their merit, stand or fall irregardless of the transition.6 In the end, then, the Commission seems to be using the fact of the transition as a Trojan horse for increased regulation of broadcasters.
I also highlight the clear and present First Amendment danger posed by the concept of breaking out categories of programming on broadcasters' FCC forms.7 Having the government pick one kind of program substance over another, and then ask broadcasters to list what they have done in that particular area at the time of license renewal, necessarily involves the Commission in direct content regulation. Admittedly, such a regulatory scheme imposes no hard quotas for programming. But it necessarily implies that the Commission (1) favors the sort of programming that it has chosen for categorization and (2) cares whether broadcasters air it or not. These proposed rule changes thus would create governmental pressure on broadcasters to air FCC-favored content, thereby creating a soft quota on that content.
The First Amendment questions raised by this sort of scheme are clearly evident. The coercion to air certain kinds of programming that the Commission has deemed to be in the "public interest" is not the sort of "general affirmative dut[y]"8 that courts have sanctioned under the First Amendment. Rather, these regulations would push the Commission toward the unconstitutional side of the "tightrope [that it walks] between saying too much and saying too little"9 about content that serves the "public interest." Thus is so because they pull certain content out of the universe of possible programming and expressly inquire about activity in that area. The Commission's traditional and more general approach of deferring to the broadcasters' mode of describing the ways in which their stations serve the public is far preferable, constitutionally speaking.
I would strongly urge broadcasters to resist this potential incursion on their editorial rights. Similarly, I would hope that the Commission ultimately will resist the temptation to micro-manage broadcast content under the guise of the "public interest" standard.
For the foregoing reasons, I narrowly concur in this NPRM for the limited purpose of clarifying the application of existing rules in the digital age. And I dissent vigorously from any suggestion that the Commission tally and review the aggregate content of broadcasters' programs for licensing purposes.

6. I note that I support a reporting requirement on closed captioning and video description as a matter of policy. But such a requirement should be considered in a proceeding that is not premised on the fact of the transition but rather on the need for the requirement itself.

Disposers can provide an environmentally friendly way to eliminate food waste.
Disposer flow rates can be more than 10 gallons per minute, but when used in conjunction with pulpers and compactors, these systems offer substantial savings in water use, sewage costs and waste removal charges.
Some manufacturers offer systems that capture and recirculate water, decreasing its usage, in addition to water saving flow controls.
Controls that automatically turn the energy and water off when the disposer is not in use provide increased energy efficiency.
Automated, self-contained waste handling systems can substantially reduce foodservice waste and water usage.

Seth Moniz, a huge fan for the Hawaiian team. Photo: Rommel Gonzales
This week the black sands of Playa Jiquiliste in Nicaragua host the world's premiere melting pot of surfing — the 2013 International Surfing Association (ISA) Junior Championship — and the area is overflowing with 300 competitors from over 30 countries, each with its own traditions.
Team France wears berets on the beach. Team Nicaragua uses a rugged stick — instead of a polished piece of wood — to hold their team flag. Team America looks like a pack of lost hipsters.
Other than dressing as natives for the opening ceremony, Team Hawaii doesn't have an object or piece of clothing that sets them apart. And they don't need theatrics. The reigning champs of the 2012 ISA Junior Championship in Playa Venao, Panama are already known as the team to beat.
While Rainos Hayes' Hawaiian team faces pressure from the media, public and logistical details, the coach isn't feeling it. Neither is Dax McGill, attempting to defend her 2012 ISA World Junior Champion crown (under-16 girls), or Seth Moniz, the team's top surfer in the under-16 boys. The crew is loose and confident. And with their talent pool, they should be.
"You have to embrace the outside things going on, and realize that you can't control everything," said Hayes. "Once you do that, and know that the only thing you can do as a surfer is just your job, the pressure is immediately off."
Attempting back-to-back world titles, the team is packed with experience with guys like Kain Daily and Koa Smith (under 18 boys), both choosing to return for a final year, and have rookie talent in Imaikalani DeVault, Kaulana Apo and Elijah Gates. Australia and Brazil, keeping with their surfing powerhouse notions, serve as their biggest competitors.
Although confident, Hayes isn't gauging success entirely from results. Instead, he's basing it from safety, health and growth for each individual surfer, a refreshing change in America's competitive culture. "People on the outside looking in don't realize how big this is — that parents are entrusting us with their children in a third world country," he said. "It's not your average surf trip. And I'll be satisfied when I can get them back to their parents safely."
Perhaps with a trophy, too.
—Cash Lambert

Avencast - Review @ GameSpot
by Dhruin, 2008-01-25 20:54:19
A surprisingly good score for Avencast in GameSpot's review, which scores Clockstone's action/RPG at 7.5/10:
Describing Avencast: Rise of the Mage is a bit tricky. This role-player relies on WASD controls, but it doesn't have the nonstop action of a typical action role-playing game. Quests feature standard go-fetch objectives, although they're often jazzed up with adventure game puzzles. And while the plot strays into world-saving Dungeons & Dragons clichés, it begins with a bored teen mage doing the Hogwarts thing. With so much cross-genre experimentation, it's difficult to figure out what the developer was trying to get at, although the one thing you can say is that this grab bag of RPG styles comes together remarkably well.

Scope and Content Note
This collection contains materials that document the activities of the Lakeland branch of the American Association of University Women (AAUW). A group of 29 woman met at the New Florida Hotel in Lakeland on February 19, 1940 to determine the level of interest in organizing a Lakeland AAUW. The women at that first meeting decided that there was sufficient interest to organize a local branch and called for a meeting 10 days hence to elect a slate of officers and approve articles of incorporation and by-laws for the new branch. Marguerite Lumpkin was elected the first president of the Lakeland branch on February 29, 1940.
Over the next 60+ years, the Lakeland branch of the AAUW was very active in promoting a host of activities and programs in the community, including support of a bond issue for a new high school, advocacy of accreditation for Florida Southern College, support of a Friends of the Library group for the public library, and raising money for a college scholarship fund for deserving local students.
Membership in the branch peaked at over 200 in the late 1970's and early 1980's, but had declined precipitously by the late 1990's. It became increasingly difficult to find members willing to serve as officers or organize projects and programs. An attempt to increase membership by creating a new category of "auxiliary" members was not successful. The Lakeland branch of the AAUW voted to disband at its April 2003 meeting and to transfer the records of the organization to the Special Collections unit of the Lakeland Public Library.
The records were delivered to the Lakeland Public Library in June 2003. They were in no particular order and in fair to good condition when received. Records of the organization prior to 1960 are scarce and were most likely lost as they were transferred from officer to officer over the years. Documentation since 1960 is more comprehensive, but gaps in the records still exist.
The records were organized into four series: Subject Files, Financial Records, Newsletters and Scrapbooks.
Series I, Subject Files, 1940-2003, documents the administrative and program activities of the organization, and includes agenda and minutes of board and general meetings, annual reports, articles of incorporation and by-laws, brochures and pamphlets, correspondence, membership directories, membership lists, photographs, yearbooks and AAUW publications.
Series II, Financial Records, 1960-2003, documents the fiscal activities of the organization and includes bank statements, budgets, cash receipt and disbursement journals, check registers, ledgers, and treasurers reports. Records documenting the fiscal activities of the organization prior to 1960 were not included in the transfer and were presumably lost over the years.
Series III, Newsletters, 1958-2003, contains copies of the newsletter published by the Lakeland Branch of the AAUW. The newsletter had varius titles and was published monthly between September and May each year.
Series IV, Scrapbooks, 1940-1996, includes scrapbooks compiled by the membership over a nearly 60 year period. They are in fair to good condition.
