DOE: Range-anxiety-plagued EV drivers somehow log more miles than gas drivers
"On Friday, I spoke with Colin Read, vice-president for corporate development at Ecotality, the company managing The EV Project. Read was just checking out the latest stats on the 6,300 EV drivers participating in the DOE-sponsored project to understand electric car driving and charging patterns. Among the latest trends that were emerging, Read noticed that EV drivers are traveling more miles as time passes. And they are charging slightly more in public in Q3 2012, than they did just one quarter earlier.
Either charging is becoming more ubiquitous, or EV drivers are becoming more familiar with where the chargers are located, said Read. Theres certainly clear movement, indicated from the EV charger data, for EV drivers to charge less from home, drive further every day, and utilize more commercial away-from-home infrastructure.
According to preliminary data, a Nissan LEAF owner drives, on average, 30 miles per day. Read said that federal government data indicates that an average driver of an internal combustion gas-powered car drives 28.9 miles per day. So EV drivers are traveling further, on average, than ICE drivers. This casts doubt on the common complaint that electric cars dont have enough range for everyday needs."
Great news for EVs is not necessarily great news for the environment - in this case, it means extra carbon generated from utilities. Underscoring why finding clean, practical sources of energy should be the #1 priority.

1. I just passed on purchasing a used (only very slightly) Nissan Leaf because
I drive at least 50 miles per day. But man, at $21K and only 5500 miles it was hard to pass up! And really, it would have worked for me most of the time.

2. Thanks for posting but why the dig on EV's?
Great news for EVs is not necessarily great news for the environment - in this case, it means extra carbon generated from utilities. Underscoring why finding clean, practical sources of energy should be the #1 priority.
So it's better for the environment to use a fuel that probably traveled 100's of miles to the pump after going through an energy intensive process to refine it from crude which itself came from half way across the globe burning diesel the whole trip?
What if the electricity to charge the batteries comes from off peak usage when turbines are still spinning with excess capacity? What if the user has PV panels or a windmill and generates their own power during the day?
So much for the status quo...

3. Not a dig but a reality check.
If we find an energy source that's 30% cleaner but use twice as much of it, we're going backwards. Nobody believes in EVs more than I do, but in the big picture we need to keep the main focus on the weakest link in the chain. Right now that's either consumption or where our energy comes from.

4. Move to the PNW. 73% of our power is hydro, another good 10% or more wind, etc.
I'd love to get a leaf if I could afford one. Unfortunately too much sunk cost in my car, but it does get 38mpg, so not too bad.
When it comes due for replacement, the Leaf or something like it will be my choice.

5. OK - I understand...
From the article - average went from 28.9 miles driven by gas cars to 30 miles driven with EV's - less than 4% more.
I've heard the rationale against efficiency because it encourages more use and in that way moving backward. I just think that attitude is unproductive. We should always move towards efficiency even if people use it more. What would you rather have - a handful of people changing their lifestyle (work closer to home, walk more, use public transit more, etc) or 100's or 1000's driving more efficient cars?

6. That's a good point
and mine is that it's important to always keep an eye on the end result.
It's very easy to slip backwards if you don't take a critical eye toward everything that's labeled "green". For example: companies that encourage consumption of products which are supposed to prevent it, like shopping bags made from recycled plastic, drinking bottles, etc. I know people who have closets full of both, don't use them, and occasionally buy more because of a vague feeling that just buying them helps. Or carbon offsets - paying some company to plant trees in the Amazon so you can take a long plane trip guilt-free. Almost always scams which lead to more consumption than ever.
In the US we have an extremely cavalier attitude toward consumption which most societies find abhorrent. As a nation our biggest percentage drop in carbon output happened in 2008, and it happened not because of some technology breakthrough but when the economy went south and people just stopped driving as much.

8. It would make sense to me that EV's are driven farther.
The further you drive daily the more of an impact gas prices have on you. The greater that impact, the more a higher cost EV vehicle makes sense.
I'll use my own case as an example. I work 60 miles away and have been looking into getting a beater commuter car that would get better mileage. I currently get 23 mpg and even if I nearly doubled that to 40 mpg I wouldn't really save any money in the long run for my situation over a year.
In one year I hope to be working at a new company being built just 5 miles away. At that distance I wouldn't even be considering a more fuel efficient car. It would take a decade, likely more than the life of the car, to balance the cost.
So, there are many factors on why an EV car may travel further on average. Not all energy is equal as well, sources, time of day, and total use of energy to provide it should all be considered.

9. The long tailpipe argument just does not hold up.
It is easy to be distracted by the mis-information put forth by people whose livelihood depends on the sale of a good or service.
Well intentioned people are often misled but only for so long as they do not have information.
Below are just a few of the reasons that i could think of off the top of my sleepy head of how it takes energy to make and store energy in the form of vehicle fuel.
First is we do not make energy we just move it around and in the process we do what? Use energy to transport and store it.
It takes electricity power the pumps to get the crude oil out of the ground and into holding tanks.
The oil is then pumped or transported to ships.
Then the ship carries the crude oil thousands of miles which uses diesel converted to electricity via turbines.
The crude oil is then pumped into holding tanks again inside the refinery.
The refining process again uses electricity to refine and to collect the various distillates.
The distillate is pumped into holding tanks where it is blended with carcinogenic chemicals to provide stability for storage.
The fuel is then sent by a truck which gets about 5 mpg and shipped all over the world or in the case of diesel is refined in the US and shipped to Europe.
Then there is national security to consider.
In 2007 the US spent over 400 billion dollars on foreign oil,money which left the US never to return.
Some of that money financed terrorist organizations.
Think of the damage to the environment directly as in the case of spills like in the Gulf.
Just for laughs,an EV uses any where between 5KW to 15KW to go one mile.
This depends on where you live but most EV people pay around 30 dollars a month to operate their vehicles.
Take that and times it by 200 million vehicles,that is a lot of money. Money saved compared to paying foreign entities for crude.
Maybe the EV is not the panacea that some make it out to be but when talking about the big picture where a fraction of a per cent
saved is multiplied millions of times,then the savings to the pocket book and the environment become real important.
Thanks for you concern but don't take my word for it look around,this information is easily found.
Just take it with a grain of salt is my advice.

10. It's complicated.
Argonne National Laboratories, through a grant from the DOE, has developed a macro-driven Excel spreadsheet called the GREET model (Greenhouse Gases, Regulated Emissions, and Energy Use in Transportation). Anyone can download it here:
You can get into a silly level of detail, but just playing with it for awhile gives you a pretty good feel for comparing total energy ("well-to-wheels" required to get a hypothetical car to go one mile. That's whether that energy comes from gasoline, nuclear electricity, coal electricity, and pretty much any combination. Of course it can't incorporate intangibles like national security which you bring up, and those are entirely valid considerations.
There was an article a few weeks ago here that showed why driving an EV in West Virginia, in 2012, is worse for the environment than driving a gasoline car. It raised a lot of hackles, but it's true (electricity in WV is almost exclusively generated from coal). As you know, those studies need a big-ass asterisk next to them - because coal is on its way out, because the car will be around for a long time, because the car may end up in an area where hydro is the main source of energy, etc.
I've done calculations on my electric cars (I have two of them) and the cleaner one, the Nissan Leaf, contributes about half as much CO2 to the atmosphere as an equivalent gasoline-burning car. That's living in CA with an energy mix that still includes roughly half coal. Unlike their internal combustion equivalents, both will get "cleaner" as they age and the generation mix improves.

11. Yes. practical sources of clean energy is the priority,
but weaning the public imagination from its obsession with the gas-fueled engine is a first step toward getting public support for really searching for good, reliable alternative energy sources.
No. Southern California and I still don't have a solar panel on my roof. Shame on me. Guilty as charged. Question of money.

It's Hell Being Carnal
The Dumoss family, Fred and Ethel Dumoss cheated a little on their income tax. They saved fifteen dollars by doing so. They lied a little when paying tax on their car purchase to save themselves twenty bucks. They converted their garage into a family room, but never removed the outside garage doors, so the building inspector would never find out and access taxes and fees for the improvement to their house.
They worried a lot about being discovered in their dishonesty or not being able to pull off the next scam. They would worry for hours prior to going out to their favorite buffet; whether or not they could get away with getting free soft drinks from the waitress. When they couldn't get free sodas, they would put up such a fuss, wanting to see the manager, even if that made them look worse.
Saving a nickel here or a dime there made them feel like they were getting away with something. And the feeling was exhilarating. It also gave them ulcers, not knowing when they might get caught.
Later on in life, they had stolen a total of $1,247.68 over a thirty-year period by God's estimation and He was a pretty good estimator. Then one day, they had to have their ulcers removed and be treated over the following ten days for preoperative infection. Their insurance wouldn't pay for it, so it came out of their own pocket in the amount of $12,756.32. Their ulcer operation was due to their dishonesty in the first place.
687 separate acts of dishonesty over a gut wrenching 30-year time frame, netted them a total of $1,247.68. Their health needs, because of their thieving lifestyles cost them $12,756.32 with a loss of $11,508.64 in money, as well as their health, 30 years of needless worrying and…oh yes…their immortal soul.

Obama's record dampens voters' enthusiasm in Iowa
IOWA CITY, Iowa — Change has come, although not in the way President Obama might have hoped.
In 2008, this hip, progressive college town — a liberal stronghold surrounded by cornfields — was in the grips of Obama fever. Students proudly wore Obama shirts to class and displayed "Change" placards in dorm windows. Campaign volunteerism soared. Everyone wanted tickets to Obama campaign events.
"Everyone was like, 'Obama's coming to town, Obama's coming to town!'" said Logan Williams, 21, of Iowa City, a student at the University of Iowa. "But this year, I mean I literally had tickets to one of his events in my hands, and I said, 'No thanks.' "
Enthusiasm for Obama, who started his historic 2008 campaign in the Hawkeye State, has dropped noticeably, particularly among college-age voters, said students and analysts.
Four years ago, 63 percent of college-age voters in Iowa voted in the general election, the second-highest turnout of any state, behind Minnesota. Most of them voted for Obama, helping him take Iowa 54 percent to 44 percent over U.S. Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz.
But 2012 is "a whole different scenario," said Tim Hagle, a political science professor at the University of Iowa.
"All of those students who supported Obama have graduated, and they're out there, and they're not finding jobs," Hagle said. "And the students who are on campus now, they don't have a new and shiny person to vote for.
"They have an incumbent running on his record. And whether you want to blame it on Obama or not, his record is not good. The economy still is not looking good, and more than usual I hear students who are worried about that. They're thinking ahead and wondering how they're going to find a job when they graduate."
The latest poll results show the race to be a virtual deadlock.
Republican nominee Mitt Romney could capitalize on the malaise by hammering home a simple message, Hagle said: "The economy is bad. Obama failed. I know how to fix it."
"Romney has the easier path," he said. "He can just focus on the economy, no matter where he goes."
The Obama campaign acknowledges the enthusiasm gap and has scheduled numerous events, even though Iowa accounts for just six Electoral College votes. A candidate needs 270 to win.
In speech after speech, Obama thunders at crowds, trying to supply the passion that supporters created last election cycle. At a Labor Day weekend event in Urbandale, outside Des Moines, he criticized Romney, the former Massachusetts governor, and GOP running mate Paul Ryan of Wisconsin for adopting a leadership philosophy reminiscent of the George W. Bush era.
"On issue after issue, Gov. Romney and Congressman Ryan will take us backwards," Obama told the crowd of 10,000 people. "But the story of America is to move forward."
When the crowd booed at the mention of the Republicans, Obama quipped: "Don't boo. Vote!"
As his speech drew to a close, he told attendees that Iowa carried him to victory and urged their support this time.
"It was you, Iowa, who kept us going when the pundits were writing us off," he said, his finger jabbing the air for emphasis. "And it will be you, Iowa, who chooses the path we take from here. ... I'm counting on you, and I need your help."
Will such speeches be enough? Even Obama supporters are not sure.
"In '08, it was a historic-type election. Whenever he came around, it was hyped up so much," said recent college grad George Hoyos, 22, of Iowa City. "Now he's been president for four years. Change has happened. It just depends on how you look at it, whether the change has been good or bad."
Jenny Matkovich, 26, who attended the rally in Urbandale, was a student at the University of Iowa in 2008. Then, she said, students viewed Obama as if he were a rock star.
"I was proud to wear my Obama shirt to class — it was cool," she said. "Everyone wanted to be involved. It was exciting; everybody was into it.
"Now it's different. Even in a liberal place like Iowa City, people don't even want to talk about politics."
Obama tailors his messages to his audiences, Hagle said.
To factory workers, he reiterates his support for wind energy, a burgeoning sector in Iowa employing 7,000 people, Hagle said. To younger voters, he tells them he will expand tax cuts for higher education and push for more Pell education grants. To a mixed crowd such as the one in Urbandale, he reminds them that Osama bin Laden was killed on his watch.
"It's like throwing out pieces of candy, depending on where he's talking," Hagle said. "It's tougher because he really can't run on his record, so wherever he goes, it's, 'Here's this little thing I'm going to give to you.'
"Are people going to focus so narrowly that that will swing their vote? Sometimes the answer is yes. But that's a tougher winning strategy. That's the contrast between 2008 and 2012. Then he had big themes of hope and change. Now he's got a tougher sell."
It's hard to find a "Hope" shirt or Obama bumper sticker in Iowa City these days. In fact, political pins of any kind are hard to come by as excitement about politics has subsided.
"There was a lot of change promised," said Williams, an undecided voter leaning toward Romney. "I realize there was a lot of work to be done and that Congress got in the way, but at the same time he did promise all that change and it didn't happen.
"I guess I want a different kind of change now."

Simply speaking, Idiopathic Intracranial Hypertension (IIH) (sometimes called Pseudotumor Cerebri isn't a headache disorder, but it can cause headaches and trigger Migraines. IIH is a condition in which the body either produces too much cerebrospinal fluid or doesn't absorb it well, resulting in increased cerebrospinal fluid pressure.
Pseudotumor cerebri literally means "false brain tumor." The name pseudotumor cerebri has been used for this condition because its symptoms mimic those of brain tumors. It is officially and more accurately called Idiopathic Intracranial Hypertension (IIH). The term idiopathic is applied because it's cause is not truly known. It is likely due to high pressure caused by the buildup or poor absorption of cerebrospinal fluid in the subarachnoid space surrounding the brain, but the reason for the buildup or poor absorption are also unknown. The disorder is most common in women between the ages of 20 and 50. Being overweight seems to be a a possible contributing factor, but IIH should not be ruled out based only on body weight, age, or gender.
Symptoms of IIH:
headache, sometimes daily, sometimes severe, not relieved by medication
hearing loss
impaired vision or eventual blindness
memory problems
Migraine attacks with unexplained triggers
pain behind the eyes
pulsating intracranial noises
shoulder and/or neck pain
Diagnosis of IIH:
The only truly definitive diagnostic tests for IIH are a lumbar puncture (LP) (spinal tap) or or by epidural or intraventricular pressure monitoring (CSF pressure monitoring). A lumbar pucture is the easier method, with the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) pressure measured when the needle is inserted. In some patients, swelling of the optic nerve (papilledema) can be observed in a thorough eye exam. However, it is important to note that the absence of papilledema does not rule out IIH. Not all patients with IIH exhibit papilledema. When the LP is performed, it is also essential that the protein level and cell count of the fluid be tested. The presence of protein or elevated white blood cell count indicate can indicate that inflammation or infection could be causing the elevated CSF pressure. The second, more complicated method of diagnosing IIH is intraventricular pressure monitoring (CSF pressure monitoring). You can read more about it HERE.

Here, table, highboy chairs, and screen—mahogany, cherry, teak—looked nervous and disproportioned.
They are covered with teak, scarped, and many images are carved in the recesses of the rock, apparently sandstone.
The forest was open, and consisted of teak and cedar with but little undergrowth.
Noticed en route, both on the plains and on the hills, teak; in the latter situations many of the specimens were very fine.
That figured (Fig. 12) is made by mounting a teak top 60 cm.

Don't you just hate it when your mom calls at the worst possible moment? Like when you just burglarized a house and accidentally left your phone behind on the counter?
That's what happened to an aspiring criminal in Lake Palm, Fla., recently, according to the Sun Sentinel.
The local sheriff's office reports that investigators were at a recently burglarized home when a phone that had been left behind on the kitchen counter began ringing. The name on the screen: "mom."
A cop answered, asked the woman who the phone belonged to and got a name. When police tracked that person down, it turned out to the be the 19-year-old man. He had a stolen phone and gun, and his female companion had a whole bunch of stolen jewelry. Everything in the stash came from the house where the phone had been left behind.

Lenny Kravitz has finally broken his silence over his relationship with Nicole Kidman, reports Hello! magazine.
In an interview about his forthcoming album Baptism, the retro rocker revealed that Kidman was the inspiration for the song Lady.
"Unfortunately, as you probably know because the media followed the relationship so closely, the story didn't end as happily as it does in the song," he said. "The reality wasn't quite as romantic, but this liaison was still a first-class inspiration."
Kravitz's romance with the Aussie actor came to an end after he was reportedly seen with another woman. And he admitted that he can be a difficult man to be close to.
When asked whether he was sad that the relationship was over, he said: "A bit, yes. It's a shame, but you have to go on. Life doesn't stop because love has knocked on the door and decided to leave again instead of staying."

Joel Porter started playing music at an early age, starting with violin and then moving onto french horn (5th grade), guitar and bass (6th grade), and songwriting in high school. Porter and Eric Hillman (producer + 1/2 the band Foreign Fields) recorded everything on 'Mountain Twin' in the Dark Heart studio by themselves, covering violin, guitar, bass, piano, trumpet, french horn, and vocals, as well as any electronic samples you might hear. the Porter explains that Mountain Twin' EP is about growth. Over the course of four folk-based, painstakingly carefully crafted songs, which include a song he co-wrote with his musician parents, he illustrates the nature, feelings, memories and what it means to seek for the truth. You can easily feel yourself being in the desolate plains, where the snow is falling, the river is flowing and the mountains howling.

We All Die! What A Circus! Is the solo studio project of João Guimarães from Portugal and was created in 2013. It all started with the release of the EP Drowning Gives Meaning To Breath (June, 2013) which consisted of soundscapes (synths, samples, field-recordings) mixed with post-rock and "folk" guitars with a minimalist approach focusing on the atmosphere. The song "Drowning Gives Meaning to Breath" was featured on the RibsOut Compilation 6 and the song "Hold" was featured on the compilation The Best of Portuguese Post-Rock 2013 made by the Portuguese website Planeta Post-Rock.
In September of 2014 the first full-length "Until The Cosmos Takes Me Back"was released featuring more drone elements, intricated guitar-work and a more layered sound, featuring two singles: From India To Gaza I, one of the highlights of the album with a strong guitar-lead dwelling in the air with its simplicity, and Old Village In Space which combines a sense of nostalgia with an eerie slow-pace solo. The album was considered one of the best Portuguese albums of the year by the website Bandcom and the song "Our Dust Turned Into This" was featured on the compilation The Best of Portuguese Post - Rock 2014 by Planeta Post-Rock.
Between 2015 and early 2017 the new self-titled album was recorded expanding the sound of the project with a different concept, including elements of dark jazz, modern classical all warped up by reverb-drenched drone soundscapes and also post-rock guitar featuring drums for the first time.
The album was released on March, 3, 2017. Conceptually it deals with the existential issues of human life, the need for a meaning of life and/or the lack of it; and how time and space wraps our own existence. It was inspired by the thoughts of philosophers and writers like Emil Cioran and Charles Bukowski (his famous poem Bluebird is recited on that song) and is a homage to them. Sound-wise this album makes heavy use of drone synths and field-recordings processed with various effects setting the atmosphere; some elements of dark jazz and classical modern piano; post-rock guitars for the lead melodies and harmonies and a sparse use of drums, mostly downtempo. Some said it resembles Angelo Badalamenti and Bohren & der Club of Gore making post-rock.
Genre : ambient, experimental, acoustic, drone, field, recordings, folk, introspection, post-rock
"The idea of "Whirl Music" was to capture a blur of past moments in one's emotional life," Jasper X, the New Jersey-based project frontman, explains. "Our memories are often blurred snapshots of multiple moments that we think of from time to time, like being a whirl of thoughts. The initial chord progression is the foundation of the song along with the driving kick drum on the downbeat. The idea was to create modest builds and colors around that foundation and what came out was a positive sonic vibe that crescendos into the instrumental outro." The track is off his new full-length, 'Aegean Lanes'
Singer/songwriter Jasper X has been writing and recording records for the past 15 years. He began his music career playing small clubs in NYC, bouncing around from one project to the next. It would take a while for Jasper to finally organize his musical thoughts and put a dedicated effort into a studio recording. After writing indie-rock oriented pieces, such as the 2011 release 'Cameras and Paragons', he chose to let his current influences at the time (Wilco, Elliot Smith, Ryan Adams) take him in a different direction. His latest release, 'Aegean Lanes', enters the alt-folk/singer-songwriter genre with personal, acoustic-based songs having unique chord progressions (Only Patterns, Fortunes) and pulsating rhythms (Whirl Music, Alpha Rays).

Kabaal klankbaan is Gauteng-based musician Floris Groenewald's folk-rock music project. "It's not a stage name," says Floris, "but a band, of which I'm the only permanent member." They play acoustic, alternative folk-rock, which varies from indie-pop songs, folky dystopian love songs, bluesy rock & roll, to songs about robots and video games.
Most live performances consist of one guy with an acoustic guitar, harmonica, and stompbox, rocking and rolling and folking in an attempt to ignore genre limitations. His next show might be Afrikaans, English, bilingual, folky, rocky, accompanied or solo. In 2015 Kabaal klankbaan performed several times as a duo, joined by saxophinist Andre van Coller, and for a special Halloween show in October 2016, they pulled out all the stops as a four-piece band.
Kabaal klankbaan has released a debut album, Dit wat oorgebly het, in October 2012, closely followed by a standalone, free download single, This town is for lovers, in November 2012. They launched a new single, Player Two (featuring Gad de Combes from Adventure Man and Shortstraw), in October 2013, and a second full-length album, Baptism, in June 2015.
Robot Girlfriend is a fun, humourous, electro/indie-pop song with a fair share of sincerity and heart.
Floris Groenewald, songwriter, frontman, and vocalist, describes the song with his tongue in his cheek: "Robot Girlfriend is simply about how flippin' sweet it would be to have a girlfriend who's a robot."
"But it's also about when your love life is so completely disappointing that you just retreat into a fantasy world and reject all sense of reality – or so my doctors say."
Genre : acoustic, folk, pop, indie, electro

NAAL is an eclectic music project led by Chicago composer Dave Mantel. This talented musician has a true passion for great melodies and haunting musical textures. His blend of ambient, shoegaze and experimental drone music feels personal and unique, echoing the work of artists such as Slowdive, Boards of Canada or Sigur Ros, just to mention a few.
Heavy, impactful and energetic. These are some of the words that come to mind when describing Tuber's recent studio effort, the full-length album "Out of The Blue." This talented Greek band set out to take the local music scene by storm and beyond: their edgy blend of hard rock and alternative music is collecting acclaim and accolades throughout the world, as growing numbers of fan continue to support the band and download their music.

Product Description
96pts, According to Malt Advocate - "Very elegant, complex, and stylish. Honeyed and silky in texture, with toffee, toasted marshmallow, nougat, maple syrup, banana bread, and a hint of toasted coconut. Bright fruit and golden raisin blend in nicely with the layers of sweetness. Impeccable balance and very approachable. Classic Irish whiskey!" (Value Pick)
"Redbreast is a very special whiskey within the Irish Distillers fortified as it's the only 12 year old Pure Pot Still available. It was first launched in 1939 as the brand name given to the pot still whiskey supplied by Jameson to whiskey bonders before bottling at the distillery became the norm in 1968. Stocks of whiskey in bonders' stores petered out, and thus Redbreast all but disappeared until its re-launch by the distillery in the 1990s as a single pot still whiskey. This pure pot still whiskey is matured for a minimum of 12 years in sherry casks and Bourbon barrels. Like all good pot still whiskeys, it is strongly flavored and assertive, making it a rare treat for the connoisseur of fine old whiskey. As all premium whiskeys can be consumed 'neat', but for a better tasting the recommendation from our Master Blender is to add a drop of water to dilute the alcohol and so release the intense flavors of this unique Pot Still Whiskey." 40% ABV.

After a restart, I can hear that 3 second sound upon turning on the computer, but whenever I play a video or Skype, no sound comes out. I obviously checked the Sound in System Preference, couldn't detect problem. I have the late 2010 Macbook Air. Any help would be really appreciated! Oh, and for those that use Log Me In, I tried it and I was able to hear the sounds on the computer that I am connected through. Thanks a lot, J

Finding peace at the spa-A A +A
Sunday, April 6, 2014
In an urbanized environment, we find some escape in tinkering with gadgets, watching TV, or treatments supplemented by machines in wellness centers.
Living in a busy metropolis allows the pleasures and conveniences that a modern lifestyle and technology can bring. But at times, a quiet respite from the city is just what we need.
An hour away from Cebu City is the AUM Spa and Wellness Center in Crimson Mactan, where authentic, unique and meaningful treatments are designed for wellness and therapy.
Like the "om" mantra of yoga practitioners for meditation, AUM focuses on relaxation and balancing the energy of the mind and the body. Many of their services favor allnatural ingredients over chemical ones for, after all, the purest elements for healing are found in nature.
A combination that provides rejuvenation to the body and relief from the summer heat is the aloe vera body wrap, traditional hilot massage and the Tropical Revitalize facial.
Enter a spa suite with its own private shower and bath tub in a semi-outdoor alcove, which sets the ambiance of an escape to nature. Start by having feet washed and kneaded in a bowl of warm water scattered with flowers before sitting comfortably on the massage table.
The spa therapist begins the body wrap by smoothing on sabila aloe vera on the back, and proceeding to coat the rest of the body. Aloe vera is widely regarded for its healing properties, especially on skin that has been exposed to the sun.
The entire body is wrapped in a plastic sheet that acts like a cocoon, allowing the aloe vera to hydrate the skin more deeply.
Aloe vera's soothing and conditioning properties make it ideal to relieve
sunburned skin. Twenty minutes later, the plastic sheet is removed and the aloe vera rinsed off in the shower. After towel drying, return to the massage table for the traditional hilot massage.
Practiced for centuries in the Philippines, hilot makes its distinction from other massages in its intention to heal imbalances in the body using
deliberate strokes, with pressure not just from the hands but also from the thumbs.
Hilot is excellent for diminishing knots in the muscles, stress relief, and improving blood circulation.
The Tropical Revitalize Facial uses natural ingredients to nourish the skin. Cucumber slices are placed on the eyelids to help reduce puffi ness. Lemon is used to cleanse the skin, known for its brightening properties.
For exfoliation, freshly cut pineapple mixed with aloe vera is massaged all over the face. To remineralize and firm the skin, a rhassoul clay mask is applied.
Lastly, aloe vera with olive oil provides moisture without the greasy feeling. Using fruit acids and enzymes makes facials safer and more
comfortable for most skin types.
Surrounded by calm and quiet with these treatments, feel the tension of the muscles and stressors of the mind become a distant, hazy memory.
Afterwards, a new softness is felt in the skin, muscles are relaxed, and the mirror reflects a visible glow in the face.
AUM Spa is recognized in leading hotel booking site Agoda.com as one of eight outstanding hotel spas in Asia. Appointments can be made daily from 10 a.m. to 11 p.m. by both in-house and walk-in guests.

Dobson declares victory in close sheriff's race
Richard B. Dobson Sr. declared victory Tuesday night over party-backed candidate Bert D. Dunn in the Democratic primary for sheriff, apparently dealing the party leadership a major setback.
Dobson was holding on to a slim lead over Dunn, 18,121 to 17,429, with 99 percent of the votes tabulated.
The Dobson campaign declared victory shortly after 11 p.m.
In declaring victory at the J's White Elephant in Lackawanna, Dobson said that he wanted to be known as a sheriff who came up through the ranks.
He served in the Sheriff's Office for 32 years, retiring in 2000 as a lieutenant watch commander.
His campaign manager, James J. Eagan, called the win "the biggest upset in Erie County Democratic politics in a decade.
"Tonight a person who has dedicated his life to public service has taken on the establishment and a well- financed opponent and won," Eagan said. "We know there are more votes to be counted, but we believe we are statistically far enough ahead to declare victory. Tomorrow we hit the ground running."
If the victory stands, Dobson will face incumbent Republican Sheriff Timothy B. Howard in the Nov. 5 general election.
Although he was accused of being aligned with a wing of the Democratic Party led by Cheektowaga leader Frank Max, Dobson said he was not associated with either wing of the party,
Dunn, a 12-year veteran of the department, was a controversial choice to be the party's standard-bearer, after he was hit with accusations of party disloyalty following a text he wrote to a supporter, saying he was not a fan of either President Obama or Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo and that Ronald Reagan was his favorite president. Dunn later said that county sheriff is not a political job.
The two candidates differed on the proper way to run the Sheriff's Office.
An Orchard Park resident, Dunn, 43 is also the president of Bert's Bike & Fitness, a family-run business in Orchard Park, and is the holder of a master's degree in business administration from Canisius College, which he said put him in good stead to run the Sheriff's Department. The sheriff controls a $101 million budget
Dobson, 68, of the Town of Wales, earned a bachelor's degree in criminal justice in 1972, after attending night and day classes while working as a sheriff's deputy. Dobson retired from the Sheriff's Office 13 years ago.
"I don't agree that police work and law enforcement is a business, and it cannot be run like a business. Law enforcement is a public service," Dobson said.
"As far as the budget is concerned, my experience lets me know where the waste is. I don't need an MBA to show me what does and doesn't work," Dobson added.
He said disillusion with the way the department is currently run and its leadership prompted him to run.
"I very much respect the true professionals who work in the department, and I want to go back and work with them to improve the morale and improve the efficiency of the department so that we will better serve the public," Dobson said.
Dobson said he comes from a law enforcement family. In late March 2011, Dobson lost a son, Kevin, 43, a state trooper who died after being struck by a motorist while conducting a traffic stop on the Youngmann Memorial Highway in the Town of Tonawanda.

About Walter W. Stiern Library
The Walter W. Stiern Library opened in 1994 and is the largest building on the California State University, Bakersfield campus. The 150,000 square-foot building houses nearly half a million volumes and provides electronic access to more than 34,000 periodical titles via its hundreds of computer terminals. The Library is managed and operated by 26 staff members and faculty librarians. The Library also maintains a branch library at the CSUB Antelope Valley campus in Lancaster. The Dean of Libraries oversees all operations and services.
The Building: Its Collections and Services
The five-story Library building is divided into a lower level and four upper floors. On the lower level, a large computer lab provides students with access to a variety of software applications. In addition to the lab, the lower level has five computer classrooms, three instructional television studios, a multi-media production lab, and a 24-hour study room.
The Library's upper four floors are divided into service areas, collections and offices.
On the main floor, students can check out books, obtain research help from a librarian at the reference desk, borrow reserve materials, or use the reference computers to access resources. The Library's users check out more than 70,000 items per year on average. The Interlibrary Loan Department, which performs more than 15,000 borrowing and lending transactions per year, is located on the first floor, as are the First Year Experience, reference, juvenile, curriculum, law, and government document collections.
Located in the wood-paneled Dezember Reading Room, are the Pat Robles Multicultural Collection, the Dolores Cerro California History Collection, Faculty Book and current magazines on the display shelves. Administration and librarian offices are found on the first floor.
Also located on the main floor is Walter's, the Library's Café. Here students can purchase light snacks, coffee, and other beverages which may only be consumed in the 24 hour room.
On the the second floor, students can watch DVDs, videos, or listen to CDs in the multimedia viewing area. The second floor houses 725,000 pieces on microfilm and contains the library's extensive collection of print periodicals.
The third and fourth floors house the main book collection. This circulation collection is the largest academic book collection in the southern San Joaquin Valley. Group and individual study rooms are also found on these floors.
LibrariansLibrarians, on average, answer more than 500 reference questions per week at the reference desk. They also provide online reference assistance through the 24-hour Question Point service and offer in-depth help to students through the Individual Research Assistance Program. Librarians, all of whom hold advanced degrees in library science, teach information competency courses and subject orientations.
Namesakes and Associates
The Library is named for Walter W. Stiern (1914-1987), a Kern County veterinarian who served 28 years in the State Senate and was instrumental in the establishment of CSUB. The Stiern Library Associates and our benefactors like the late Dr. George and Millie Ablin, for whom the Ablin Conference Room is named, Rayburn and Joan Dezember, for whom the Dezember Reading Room is named, and the late Dolores Cerro, for whom the Cerro California History Collection is named, have helped make possible the Library's positive contribution to the university and community .

Patrick Dempsey Wears Falsies?
According to Star magazine, Patrick Dempsey has a dirty little beauty secret. "He borrows fake lashes from his wife, Jill … He wears them all the time — even to his son's Little League games!" says a mysterious insider. Gosh, I knew his lashes were looking fuller and lusher lately, but I suspected he was using an eyelash curler. I had no idea things had gotten this serious. I'm so concerned about him. His wife must be distraught. Are they serious? Come on, now. I could have made up something more titillating. Must be an extraordinarily slow news week in the celebrity world. [Celebitchy]

Albury motorists are paying up to 11c less per litre for their unleaded petrol than Canberra motorists.
Associate professor in business law at the University of NSW, Frank Zumbo, said Albury's average price for unleaded petrol was consistently lower than Canberra's because it had more independent operators.
Lack of competition among petrol retailers will continue to be felt in Canberra.
CommSec, which is tipping a 2-3c rise in pump prices over the next fortnight, says potential threats to oil supplies in the Middle East and improving economic conditions in the US are key drivers behind the surge in global oil prices.
Mr Zumbo said there was an onus on the government to intervene. ''When you have the sector heavily dominated by the oil companies and Coles and Woolworths, you have a market failure,'' he said.
ACT Minister for Economic Development Andrew Barr said attempts to attract more independents by making sites available had been tried over the past 15 years without much success.
''The small number of independent operators in Canberra is due largely to the operation of the wholesale petrol market. This is outside the control of the ACT government,'' Mr Barr said.
He said the government would not broaden the supermarket competition policy, which sidelines Woolworths and Coles on specific sites to give independent operators a chance of buying them.
Mr Barr said sites were not necessarily earmarked for service stations. ''It is up to petrol retailers to identify sites and make an application for a petrol station under normal [processes].''
According to Environment and Sustainable Development ACT there are 54 service stations in the territory, eight fewer than in 2007.
Mr Barr said advice had been sought from the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission on whether the ACT had enough service stations, but ultimately it was a matter for the market.
Motor Trades Association ACT executive director Mick Gentleman said service stations were closing at a time of rising population and an increase in the number of cars in Canberra. He said if you deducted the number of people under the driving age from a population of 360,000, the remaining number accounted for almost one registered vehicle per head of population.
The independent Williamsdale Service Station, located south of Canberra, will close at the end of the month as owner Bob Moore, whose father began the business in 1961, is in ill-health. The independent Kingston service station owner in Eyre Street, Robert Holmes, cannot say how long he will stay in business, as the land adjoining a car park is awaiting redevelopment. Latham service station has been converted to units and Lyons service station is being converted to units. Applications have been approved to change Waramanga service station to units and Watson service station to commercial uses.

What are Ear Mites?
Ear Mite Cats
Ear mites thrive in the warm moist area where the air flow
is restricted. They feed on epidermal
debris & ear wax. They burrow into the ear, causing
inflammation and irritation which the body responds to by producing more wax.
Ear mites are terribly uncomfortable for your
cat. Imagine how it would feel having thousands of little bugs
running around in your ears.
the first symptom you notice will be your cat scratching his
ears or shaking his head due to the extreme itchiness that the
mites cause.
You may notice that your cat's ears appear
flattened or laid back. His ears may be painful to touch and he may cry
in pain when you touch them or while he is scratching them. You may also notice a foul odor coming from the ears.
Cats may cause Self Inflicted
Injuries due to Ear Mites
Cats with ear mite infection may cause damage to their ears by scratching
them. Often their
ears will bleed as a result of this.
Damage can also be done by shaking their heads with such
intensity that small blood vessels are broken in the ears and hematomas
form. (see picture at top of page)
Signs of Ear Mites
If you have a look inside the ear of an
infected cat you will see dark reddish brown or black debris
throughout the ear canal which has been described as looking
like coffee grounds. This debris comprises of ear wax and blood. Ear mites are visible to the naked eye
(but can be seen better with a magnifying glass) and can be seen as white dots among the dark debris. You may
even see them moving around.
Secondary bacterial or yeast infections are
also common so it is important to consult your veterinarian.
Your cat might
require antibiotics for secondary infections.

store or your veterinarian will prescribe an oily

black ear gunk has to be cleaned from the ear canal daily to
ensure the medication can reach the mites. The best way to
do this is with a cotton ball or soft cloth dipped in
vegetable oil.
After cleaning the ears the
medication should massaged deeply into the cat's ears taking
care to get into all the nooks and crannies of the ear
It is important to follow
your vets or the products instructions for the application
of the treatment. Do not cease treatment
because it appears the ear mites have gone. You must
continue for two weeks to beat the life cycle of the mite.
Are Ear Mites Contagious?
Ear mites are very contagious
and can be passed on from cat to cat or
cat to dog and visa versa so it is important to treat all of your pets at the
same time.

No, humans are not affected by ear mites.
