The Kansas City Chiefs look to remain the only undefeated team in the NFL when they host the slumping Cleveland Browns on Sunday. Kansas City maintained its unblemished record when it eked out a 17-16 home victory over the Houston Texans last week. One key to the Chiefs' perfect mark is their stingy defense, which has allowed a league-low 81 points and hasn't yielded more than 17 in a game.
Cleveland attempts to halt its two-game skid, as well as Kansas City's remarkable run, behind a new quarterback. With Brian Hoyer out for the season with a knee injury and Brandon Weeden fizzling, the Browns turn to Jason Campbell. After winning three straight to become one of the NFL's surprise teams through five weeks, Cleveland has lost contests against Detroit and Green Bay by a combined 62-30.
TV: 1 p.m. ET, CBS. LINE: Chiefs -9.5. O/U: 38.5.
ABOUT THE BROWNS (3-4): Willis McGahee is fourth among active running backs with 8,300 career rushing yards and third with 64 touchdowns on the ground - one behind Jacksonville's Maurice Jones-Drew. Jordan Cameron leads all tight ends with 45 receptions, which is the most over the first seven games of a season in team history. With six touchdowns, Cameron is three away from matching the club record for a tight end set in 1979 by Ozzie Newsome.
ABOUT THE CHIEFS (7-0): Jamaal Charles enters the contest third in the NFL with 561 yards on the ground and tied for second with six rushing touchdowns. He joined O.J. Simpson (1975) as the only players in league history to record at least 100 yards from scrimmage and a touchdown in each of the first seven games of a season. Alex Smith continues to get the job done, as he is 26-5-1 as a starter since 2011.
1. Kansas City has not begun a season 8-0 since winning its first nine games in 2003. It is the first team in league history to start 7-0 after losing at least 14 games the previous season.
2. Cleveland has won three of the last four meetings, scoring at least 30 points in each victory.
3. The Chiefs lead the league with 35 sacks and are on pace to break the NFL record of 72 set in 1984 by the Chicago Bears.
PREDICTION: Chiefs 33, Browns 10

Q: Isn't there a website or a phone number or something where you can say you want certain catalogs in the mail and cancel others? - L.C., Fayetteville
A: There are indeed some websites that you can use to notify companies that you no longer want to receive their catalogs - or that you want to start getting them.
The sites include those operated by the companies themselves. That's actually the fastest way to inform a particular company of your choices, says the Direct Marketing Association.
But if you'd rather not go to the bother, you can create accounts at either or both of a couple of websites to ask them to do it for you - and for free. One - dmachoice.org - is operated by the DMA itself. It provides contact information for dozens of catalog senders that belong to the DMA so you can tell them yourself to stop sending catalogs. You can also get the DMA to make the request.
The other - catalogchoice.org - has a much larger database that lists hundreds of catalog senders, including schools, organizations and even some political candidates. Too bad the election is over, right? Catalog Choice also provides contact information for the catalog senders but says it will contact them for you. You, in turn, need to provide information from the mailing labels on the catalogs in question.
Both companies also have services aimed at blocking credit card offers, donation requests and other junk mail.
If you're going to try one, you might consider using them both. If one fails, the other might succeed. Or contact the catalog senders yourself.
Let us know how it goes.
Q: Why is everyone so fascinated with Emmitt Smith on "Dancing With The Stars" and why do they promote him? Doesn't he have a well-known unpleasant criminal record? - R.H., Fayetteville
A: The answer to your last question is no. So that might render moot your first questions about the retired NFL star.
Smith, who's 43, won the third season of "DWTS" with partner Cheryl Burke in 2006. He's now back on the show, competing with Burke as his partner on an all-stars version. Smith played 15 years in the NFL, for the Dallas Cowboys and Arizona Cardinals, and he's considered to be one of the greatest running backs ever. He was elected to the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2010, the first year he was eligible.
We couldn't find any online references to Smith ever being charged with a crime or being saddled with an unsavory reputation.

Very sexy shoe! have only worn it once for a short period of time. Its narrow thru the instep (admittedly my feet are a tad bit wide), but I am hoping they will "give" a little with more wear.

About Me Classic, Modern, Practical, Stylish
These are some sharp shoes. People have complemented me everywhere I go with them. But these arent the type of shoes to stand in for hours. I have never worn heels this high and I enjoyed them and could walk in them comfortably. The next day my calves and gluets were hurting because of the shoes but my trainer told me that it wasn't a bad hurt it was a strengthing hurt. Those heels were helping me form muscles. I love them and have taking somany pictures that people on Facebook that are my friends of my friends have complmented me so much. I think I had about 588 likes on Facebook. I ordered another color from another site because thuis website sold out the black and I love them as well.

These are my favorite pair of shoes right now! They are extremely sexy & hot without being trashy. They're really tall which I happened to love too because I'm only about 5'4". I have received so many compliments on these shoes and I am so glad I bought them!
By IVEDLG

I still have not worned these shoes but they are so sexy and I know for sure I will get tons of compliments. The moment I saw them online I knew I had to get them. My husband loved them as soon as I took them out of the box. I wish Steve Madden would make more shoes in size 11.

LOVE this unique shoe
By Ali_M
from Sunny, Ca
Purchased this shoe the instant I saw it, I'm a sucker for a cognac and gold combo. I generally like to see what a shoe looks like on the foot before I purchase, and not being able to find any pictures/videos I decided to take a chance. I am SO happy I did! This shoe is another SM style that I will love wearing with so many things. Leather quality is great, styling is superb taking into consideration how to best flatter the foot...great lines. The only quality about the shoe that I have a second's hesitation on, is the front 'flap' that comes up on the ankle as this could look awkward if it starts to bulge out or fold. Right out of the box this 'flap' seems to wrap to the foot nicely, and considering the quality of the leather I think it should be fine, guess time will tell Overall another A+ unique style from the SM team.

Traffic and safety among concerns about proposed gravel operation
Open house on Stony Valley Project draws about 30 people to Mystery Lake hall
Some raised concerns about traffic, noise, pollution and safety, some worried about environmental impact, particularly on the Athabasca River. Others came to listen and learn, others voiced support.
The Stony Valley Project, a proposal to develop a 640-acre gravel deposit in Barrhead County, attracted a mixed bag of responses at an open house meeting last Tuesday afternoon.
Of course, those living nearest a potential aggregate haulage route tended to have more to say.
Doug Shaver, for instance, says he will sell his property if one of the routes is approved. As someone approaching retirement, he is worried about his quality of life being harmed.
�I live in a beautiful house and have been there 15 years, but I will sell if the route comes too near the property,� he told The Barrhead Leader.
�I am concerned about traffic going through rural areas. I am concerned about pollution and safety. I believe any heavy trucks should be limited to 60kph.�
Shaver, who is in the oil industry, says he understands the business appeal of the project. But he is sceptical whether safety can be completely compatible with a money-driven venture.
One woman from the Fort Assiniboine area voiced concern about digging gravel pits in an alluvial aquifer and its impact on the health of the Athabasca River. She spoke of the danger of degrading a public water resource for short-term profit.
Others, however, gave Stony Valley Contracting Ltd., the company behind the venture, credit for its evaluation and modification of potential haul routes, one of which runs from the proposed development site in TWP61-R7-W5M through the Connor Creek Grazing Reserve to provincial Highway 18.
The company says the route protects a critical sharp tailed grouse habitat. Another route proposal linking the development site to Highway 18 and Highway 43 is also on the table.
�I can�t see anything wrong with the proposal,� said Arthur Chalifoux. �They shoved one possible route over a mile or so, so it is not cutting part of the pasture. It makes a lot of sense.�
Chalifoux, his sons and brother hobby farm on three quarters of land near one of the proposed routes. They also have cabins there.
About 30 people filled Mystery Lake Community Hall on Tuesday afternoon for an open house meeting on the Stony Valley Project. Another open house was held in the evening, and a third one was scheduled at Romeo Lake on Wednesday. In October, a fourth open house is planned, probably at the same venue.
Among those present on Tuesday afternoon were Barrhead County councillor Bill Lane and County development officer Rick Neumann.
There to meet people was Dan Fouts, general manager of Fort McMurray-based Stony Valley Contracting Ltd.
His wife Janet, also with Stony Valley Contracting, and a team of consultants accompanied him. They included: Grant Potolicki, Green Plan lead environmental consultant; Chantelle Kilborn, Green Plan environmental consultant and the coordinator of the Water Act approval; Len Knapik, from Pedocan, who is handling land reclamation; Gary Wagner, from Klohn Krippen Berger, who is dealing with the Water Act and studies associated with the act; and David Coombs, from Talking Stick, who is responsible for public consultation.
Missing was Fouts� business partner, Wayne Woodhouse, operations manager and joint owner of Stony ValIey. Company business kept him away.
It was a low-key meeting, perhaps reflecting the one-on-one meetings the company has held with residents and landowners over the last two years.
Fouts, who describes himself as a plain-speaking Alberta boy, is a familiar face to most of those who attended. He is even on first-name terms with some.
There is another factor to consider as Fouts repeatedly stressed, the project is still not off the starting block, even though a lot of research has been carried out.
Stony Valley has two regulatory hurdles to cross before it can start operations at the Crown Lands site, which is about 30 miles from downtown Barrhead.
First it requires development approval from the provincial government�s Alberta Sustainable Resource Development. Applications must include a conservation reclamation plan describing how the gravel will be developed, what measures will be put in place to protect the environment and suggested end land use after reclamation. This could include creating recreation facilities or restoring the land to a wildlife habitat.
Secondly, the company must get a development permit from Barrhead County. This requires Stony Valley to demonstrate it has obtained provincial approvals and met with residents and landowners to identify, understand and address as well as possible potential issues or concerns.
�We have applied for neither,� said Fouts.
People were encouraged to fill out a comment card attached to a brochure on the project which was handed to arrivals. Many seemed to prefer this method of communication than speaking publicly.
For the first two hours of the session, people looked at a series of displays, which included details on the company; the importance of aggregate materials; the proposed development; potential haul routes; environmental impact; potential end land-use; safety; and working with the community.
Bill Lane said safety was his number one concern.
�We have school buses on the road and ratepayers on the road, so it is very important that we look at the implications of this project,� he said. �The infrastructure is of great concern � noise, disturbance and dust.�
It was also important, however, to look 50 years ahead, he added, and recognize the ongoing road maintenance challenges in the area.
Barrhead was sitting on a gravel �goldmine,� which presented great opportunities that other communities did not have.
�This is the best gravel around,� he said.
In a slide presentation, Fouts said the Stony Valley Project could deliver 2,700-3,000 tonnes of gravel to markets in Barrhead County, Lac Ste. Anne and Edmonton, which was the primary target.
The plan was for a consistent stream of 25 trucks to leave the site for Edmonton, making three trips a day. The trucks will deposit gravel in a series of satellite yards in the Edmonton area.
�This is a long-term project,� he said. �We are talking about 30-plus years.�
Fouts said road building and paving would eat up a major part of the initial investment of $7 to $9 million. Such a huge financial outlay was an incentive for the company to address issues properly and not jeopardize regulatory permits.
Steps would be taken to minimize potential adverse affects, he said. This included stockpiling gravel around the pit to deflect and reduce noise.
�We will also assess the use of strobe lights on loaders used in the pit as a safety measure for backing up instead of the standard back-up alarms,� said Fouts.
�Our objective is to find the path of least impact,� he added.
Fouts said between 45 and 50 jobs could be created; half would be employed at the site, the other half driving trucks.
He added that if everything went according to the company�s plan, the project could begin in the summer of 2013.

Fluffy towels at the ready; it's time to get pampered. London's best spas will host hen parties, manage your weekly manicures or provide the most relaxing treatments. Browse the list to find the one that will most suit you.
Tell us if we've missed out your favourite spa or treatment in the comment box below.
Spa London
Until 2007 when Spa London opened in Bethnal Green, there was no such thing as an affordable day spa in in the capital. A second branch opened at Swiss Cottage Leisure centre with a long, good-value treatment menu and late last year a third in the form of the elegantly restored Ironmonger Row Baths in Islington complete with saunas, steam rooms and relaxation lounge. The East End original also includes steam rooms, Turkish hamam and plunge pools. Treatments range from an Escape in the City Salt Scrub (a 25-minute cleansing that should remove all trace of London grime), to the spa's signature Gym & Tonic in which your body is cleansed, body brushed and exfoliated, before being treated to an aromatherapy massage and warm marine mask. Indulgence without the price-tag.
- York Hall Leisure Centre, Old Ford Road, E2 9PJ
The Sanctuary
With a regular swathe of offers on its website, The Sanctuary has become the go-to 'girls' day out' destination (it performs 28,000 facials a year). Like modern-day Romans, groups of bathrobe-clad women sprawl out across giant cushions, drinking prosecco, eating mini macaroons and reading celebrity magazines. The treatments, however, are its forté. There are dozens of affordable treatments with prices starting at £35 for a revitalising eye rescue. The latest treatment is the Active Reverse Facial (£175) created by celebrity facialist Nichola Joss, who between flying to LA, works at the spa on alloted dates (next slot is March 21). Take your own flip-flops, as no slippers are provided – and bring a girlfriend or seven.
- 12 Floral Street, WC2E 9DH
Four Seasons Hotel London at Park Lane
London has luxury five star hotel spas aplenty but none have quite the swank factor as the Four Seasons Park Lane spa. Located up on the tenth floor with stunning views of London over leafy Hyde Park (we've seen them all but these definitely in our top five) it has everything and more you'd want from the hotel spa experience. Big, comfy treatment rooms with floor to ceiling windows overlooking that view. There are spacious, daylight-filled changing areas with vast dressing tables, posh hairdryers and all the products you need. The indulgent, secluded lounging area is a must between sessions in the sauna and plunge pool. We experienced the ultra-indulgent Omorovicza Gold Hydrating Facial which features actual gold being slathered over the skin (£175) but you can also get manicures, pedicures and massages – the newest is the throughly indulgent Four Hands massage where two therapists work their magic over your body for 80 whole minutes (£245). Prepare for a right proper pampering.
- Hamilton Place, Park Lane, W1J 7DR
58 South Molton Street
If you are looking for beautification of the mind, body or soul, head to this recently opened wellbeing centre, 58 South Molton. Located conveniently in the middle of town, 58 South Molton homes a range of top practitioners including the gloriously soothing osteopath Avni Trivedi, whose dulcet tones and calm manner will have you relaxed in seconds. Avni specialises in pre and post natal treatments and can get to the root of your aches and pains by making subtle adjustments to your spine. She also makes helpful suggestions about lifestyle and posture. Having seen her over various sessions for a sore neck, we can vouch for her effectiveness. If it's perfect skin you are looking for, book in with Doctor Terry Loong, a trained surgeon-turned-skin doctor who is on a quest to make her clients look more youtful. Like many of the practitioners here, Doctor Terry takes an holistic approach and analyses lifestyle factors to see what's really getting under your skin. She then makes a detailed action plan with practical solutions, which may or may not include baby Botox injections and chemical peels. It's all done in modern, glamorous surroundings that are a world away from the wood panelled fustiness of Harley Street.
Aveda Institute
For those who care about what is going into and on to their bodies, the Aveda Institute on High Holborn is hard to beat. One of the orginal purveyors of natural hair and skin products, the brand continues to deliver quality treatments at this vast, airy hair and beauty spa. Time Out has long been a fan of the salon, not only for its fabulous non-agressive colour and great cuts, but the serene manicure and pedicure booths, tucked away at the back. What makes this salon appealing is that is refreshingly un-sceney: no air-kissing, fuss or celebrity gossip.
- 174 High Holborn, WC1V 7AA
The Berkeley Spa
With its small but perfect open-top swimming pool overlooking Hyde Park, this spa, a favourite with celebrities, wins points for its location. But the treatments are also impressive with emphasis on facials and a strong selection of men's treatments, such as the Hydra Performance Facial for men featuring Swiss glacial water (just so you know). Less fancy treatments, such as eyebrow shaping, are also available.
- The Berkeley, Wilton Place, SW1X 7RL
The Porchester Spa
The Porchester Spa, loacted in a spectacular 1929 building, is one of London's more authentic spa experineces - benefited from a new ventilation system, re-tiled steam room and bigger sauna since its refurbishment in 2006. But but don't expect the fluffy-white towel and ambient-music experience. This is the spa to come to if you like pools (they have a proper swimming pool, plus a plunge pool for cooling off after a stint in one of the three Turkish hot rooms). People – including lots of local men – come here for no-nonsense treatments (like the Hot Towels Treatment ) at affordable prices, including wraps, facials and massages.
- The Porchester Centre, Queensway, W2 5HS
Aman Spa
While located beneath the Connaught Hotel in Mayfair, once you're being massaged in oils from the continent of your choice in the heavenly Aman Spa, ensconced in hot towels on a heated bed, and being murmured to in hushed tones by your barefoot therapist, you won't believe you're not in a Malaysian beach spa. The spa also features what must be London's loveliest swimming pool, black tiled and complete with waterfall. A half-hour treatment costs around £70.
- Carlos Place, W1K 2AL
The Spa at Bluebird
It's not immediately obvious where Spa at Bluebird as (tip: look for the mirrored wall and Blink threading bar tucked in a far corner). Through a discreet door the world dissolves into a calming, peaceful oasis. One of the most popular treatments is the Micheline Arcier signature facial which proves an hour's-worth of relaxing – but ultra effective – cleansing. An arsenal of brushes, pads, and steamers were used in conjunction with oils, massages and pressure-point work resulting in one of the best facialwe've tested. Afterwards, you may even manage to float, untempted as we did, past the new season shoes.

Gary Ingham Lifestyle Salon & Spa
Having out-grown its original Hampstead space, the popular Gary Ingham salon relocated to a bigger, flashier site on Heath Street in spring 2012. The move saw the Aveda salon expand its offering with a new upstairs spa and a broad range of treatments, from threading, waxing and facials, to Chakra balancing and Lava Shell massages. Therapists are friendly and skilled – ours offered personalised tweaks to a very accomplished and effective deep tissue massage – while the hair salon staff are equally service-minded, ferrying wines, coffees and Aveda's own blend herbal tea to relaxed punters. High-tech additions (such as bliss-inducing electronic massage chairs at the wash basins) show Gary Ingham to be ahead of its competitors, while talented hair stylists and colour technicians make use of Aveda's superior products to deliver uniformly excellent results.
- 63-67 Heath Street, NW3 6UG

Private parking is available on site.
- Richmond Way, W14 0AX
If money were no object, we'd go to Ushvani. Located behind a barely marked almighty door in Knightsbridge, it feels more like a hidden gentlemen's club than a spa. But in the bowels of the building are whirlpools and baths and truly world-class facilities. The serene treatment rooms and luxurious hydrotherapy pool soon whisk you into a Zen-like state. Treatments include the scrumptious Summer Body Experience, featuring a delicious-smelling papaya-and-cane-sugar scrub and green coffee oil, which apparently helps break down pesky fatty deposits. Or there's the orange-and-chocolate scrub and wrap. If we had the money (and we don't), we'd book into the Asmara couple's suite for three hours of complete spa experience
- 1 Cadogan Gardens, SW3 2RJ
Spa at Chancery Court
This friendly, subterranean, luxury spa is all dark wood and limestone, scented candles and hushed tones – punctuated by the post-treatment guests shuffling around like contented zombies. With a 40 per cent rise in the number of male visitors in the past year, our tester picked from the men's menu: the Gin & Tonic is a full-body exfoliation with salt and juniper berries, a 55-minute intense massage, and a reviving gin and tonic for afters – all of which was delivered with a firm but fair hand. There are more than 40 treatments available (from the gently relaxing to results-driven 'cosmeceutical' treatments), and the dry sauna and steam rooms complete the package.
- Chancery Court Hotel, 252 High Holborn, WC1V 7EN
Chuan Spa
London's first luxury Chinese medicine centre is a great place to while away a couple of hours. Stepping in for its signature Chuan Balancing treatment, you fill in a form to determine what element you are (we're earth, apparently) before being whisked off for a sublime massage, which stimulates the body's pressure points to relax and detoxify. We fell asleep mid-treatment – 'Fifty per cent of people do,' smiled the therapist.
- The Langham, 1c Portland Place, W1B 1JA
The Spa at Brown's Hotel
This elegant Rocco Forte-owned Mayfair hotel provides a thoroughly relaxing and luxurious experience. The seasonally changing signature pedicures are still a big draw –when we visited, the ultra-indulgent 'Hot to Trot' pedicure offered a pressure point foot massage while you sip on a passionfruit, lychee and minty gin cocktail, all finished off with the perfect polish.
- Brown's Hotel, Albemarle Street, W1S 4BP
Spa at Mandarin Oriental
With its opulent surroundings, crystal steam room, sanarium and vitality pool, The Mandarin Oriental lives up to its reputation as one of London's most luxurious day spas. Arranged over three levels, the dark wood interior, highlighted with oriental blooms, water features and stone sculptures, is impressive. Clients are encouraged to book time rather than specific treatments to get a perfect bespoke service. We rather fancy the Customised Aromatherapy Facial - a tailor-made, indulgent treatment that makes use of the lovely, specialist oils of Aromatherapy Associates.
- Mandarin Oriental, 66 Knightsbridge, SW1X 7LA
Elemis Day Spa
This small but well-established spa brand's exotic, unisex retreat is tucked away down a cobbled lane off Bond Street. The elegantly ethnic treatment rooms are a lovely setting in which to relax and enjoy a spot of pampering, from wraps to facials. Customer service is always good and the treatments provide equal measures of relaxation and results. One of its best-sellers is the Visible Brilliance facial which delivers exactly what it claims. The massages – we've experienced a few here – are highly recommended.
- 2-3 Lancashire Court, W1S 1EX
Spa Illuminata
The entrance may be more Rodeo Drive than zen garden – a large shop, then a leopardskin chair next to a lion's-mouth fountain on which to fill out forms – but this Mayfair spa delivers one of the best massages we have experienced. 'It's Swedish aromatherapy with a bit of shiatsu thrown in,' the therapist told us on a recent visit, before smothering us in balm and digging out every recalcitrant knot with the vigour you always ask for but rarely get. Even palms and toes are attended to. There's more unusual treatments too. The Madagascar Escape takes you on a 'voyage to the beautiful island' through essential oils and no less than 52 acupressure-style techniques.
- 63 South Audley Street, W1K 2QS
May Fair Spa
An impressive wet room, great (if expensive) treatments and striking middle-Eastern statues make this one of central London's most tranquil hotel spas. New to the spa this season are the indulgent Golden Caviar Facial and Cashmere and Silk Body wrap. Spa-goers are encouraged to lounge in the relaxation area post treatments as well as indulging in the sauna and steam chamber featuring fibre optic lights on the ceiling, to similate a night's sky.
- Radisson Edwardian May Fair Hotel, Stratton Street, W1J 8LT
Agua Spa
Thirteen years after opening, the Agua Spa is still at the top of its game, delivering excellent treatments against a dreamy backdrop of swishing white curtains. On a recent visit, we sampled the Mother Nature Pregnancy Massage which involved lying on a warm water bed, being slathered in heavenly Aromatherapy Associates oils and being gently massaged all over from scalp to toes. Ultra-soothing. We can also recommend the Eve Lom Experience facial, hot stone massage and fabulous manicures using Rococo polishes.
- The Sanderson, 50 Berners Street, W1T 3NG

I would recommend the Benjawan Thai massage on Stroud Green road, Finsbury Park for a really authentic thai massage experience. It is like walking into a little massage parlour in Thailand. I had lots of massages over there (lived there for a few years). They only opened a couple of months ago.
The ladies are very friendly, shoes are taken at the door and a cup of thai tea brought to you. I went for the Thai oil massage which was great and was even given a bit of extra time (hate it when your hour massage turns into 45/50 mins! More tea and a chat afterwards. Great, and good value.Jen Jones Tue Nov 12Rated as: 5/5 -
I don't recommend the spa at Marshall street.(Oxford)I visited to use thermal spa and paid£12.50 last week. The staff in the space gave me robe, towel and slipper to use the spa. But when I visited here last year,I was allowed to use this spa and pool by paying £ 5.50??? Is £ 12.50 is for robe, towel and slippter?? I told the staff about this but they just insisted shat they said!. People in the spa have not have robe at all!!
It is not fair that some peole pay £ 12.50 to use thermal Spa and others only pay £5.50 to use thermal spa and pool!!
I hope that they make the price clear to use thermal spa. I felt very stressful!!k2329 Fri Oct 11Rated as: 1/5 -
I just came across this article and wanted to mention that I've been going to Karaboon thai massage for a few months now. The service and quality has never let me down. Great thai massage at affordable price which you won't get at other expensive spa's, which I feel are overated. I don't know about the oxford street shop but the one I always visit is near Victoria.

PORCHESTER SPA?! NO WAY!! I've been there and yes It's affordable but you get what you've got for the price! COCKROACHES & GREEN MOLDING CEILING.... Not hygienic at all. I'll never go back to this place. So if this made it on Time out Best Spa in London list how the Spa below must look like?!

I would recommend Elysium Spa in the City of London, located next door to Tower 42 in Bannatynes gym. Recently under new management. Lovely decor, fantastic treatments and great value for money.

i visited acu-channel spa in old brompton rd south kennsington it has beautiful interior relaxed and peaceful atmosphere there have special promotional deal try it

I would recommend Karaboon Thai massage. After a tiring shopping trip on Oxford street, I had a perfect Thai deep tissue massage. The price is very good and they have a promotion at the moment so it's even better! I have to mention the manager Alice who was so friendly and helpful explaining to me about the different treatments. Just to note as I've seen other people mention they are near Tottenham court Rd, but they have moved to Oxford circus, off Regent street. For me this is a better location and the new salon is very nice as well. I would definitely recommend.
Lucia Sun Mar 11 2012 -
Had a prescriptive facial and deep tissue massage at Ayanna Spa last week. Both therapists were really good and knew what they were doing. The facial was pampering yet delivered the result I was looking for - a glow for the evening out. Definitely worth a visit!

Dear Editor,
I have lived in Pitt Meadows since 1988, and in that time I have seen many positive changes, large and small.
The new recreation centre, the new library, the Bonson sports fields and the community garden, economic progress such as Meadowtown Centre and the growing industrial park near the river, improvements to the ice rink, the excellent design of Spirit Square, Bonson Landing, Osprey Village, and the greenway, the planters down the middle of Harris Road, the bollards and stamped concrete side-walks at the town centre intersections, and most recently, the new seniors centre: the list goes on.
All contribute to making Pitt Meadows a wonderful place to live, and all required the encouragement and support of council and staff, past and present.
Well done, all.
And on the flip side, we seem to be infested with a host of bleating whiners with nothing good to say about anything.
There is, of course, nothing easier than to criticize the efforts of others, but I would ask: when was the last time any of you made a meaningful contribution to the improvement of the community (aside from the grudging payment of taxes)?
There is one common thread I see in all of the negative letters: the arguments are never backed up with any facts or figures.
If you wish your position to be taken seriously, then do your homework first. Otherwise it is just opinion masquerading as truth.
And please, do us all a favour and delete the personal insults before you hit the send button.

Drum roll ... George Alexander Louis!
The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge announced Wednesday that they've named their new bundle of joy.
The tot "will be known as His Royal Highness Prince George of Cambridge," according to Clarence House, the official residence of heirs to the throne.
Earlier Wednesday, word came that the couple are doing what new parents do: They are enjoying some incredibly sweet moments alone with their baby.
The official statement said William and Catherine are now down to the business of getting "to know their son."
The parents and the perhaps future king left Kensington Palace in London by car around lunchtime, UK media reported. The couple has been mum about their immediate schedules.
British media were feverishly reporting where they might be, with the consensus being that the couple and child went to the village of Bucklebury, where Catherine's parents live.
Earlier Wednesday, Queen Elizabeth II went to Kensington Palace to see the newborn for the first time. Uncle Harry paid a visit, too, the palace told reporters.
The public got its first look at the child Tuesday evening, outside the Lindo Wing of St. Mary's Hospital in London.
The prince and his wife said then that they had been "working on a name."
"So we'll have that as soon as we can...," William said. "It's the first time we've seen him really, so we're having a proper chance to catch up."
Many bets were placed as the public waited for the announcement. British bookmakers Ladbrokes had George and James as favorites Wednesday, followed by Alexander, Arthur, Louis and Henry.
William's name was announced a few days after birth; his brother Harry's upon leaving the hospital.
The baby has a "good pair of lungs," the prince told well-wishers Tuesday evening. "He's got her looks, thankfully."
They took turns holding little George, wrapped in a cream-colored blanket. The parents waved.
William said he'd already changed his first diaper.
"It's very emotional. It's such a special time," Catherine said.
Third in line
The 8-pound, 6-ounce boy was born Monday afternoon. He's third in line, behind Charles and William, to the British throne.
As well as ruling the United Kingdom, George Alexander Louis could one day be king of 15 other commonwealth countries that have the British monarch as head of state if none change their constitution in the meantime.
They include Australia, Canada, New Zealand, Belize and Jamaica.
On their way out of the hospital, the couple walked down the same steps where Diana, Princess of Wales, and Prince Charles gave the world its first look at Prince William 31 years ago.
William placed the teeny royal heir in a car seat in the back of a black sport utility vehicle, then got behind the wheel for the trip to their residence at Kensington Palace.
The grand apartment they will eventually move into within the palace, Apartment 1A, is still being refurbished, so William and Catherine have been living in a small cottage in the grounds.
The internal renovation work at Kensington Palace is due to be completed in the fall. The duke and duchess' staff will also move into refurbished offices there, according to Buckingham Palace accounts released last month.

Alhambra Palace Hotel Granada Guest Reviews (64)
The hotel is ideally located for both the Alhambra and the town (although a hard slog back up the hill). The rooms are large and well equipped although it would be nice to have tea and coffee as in most hotels. The terrance is the perfect place to have a drink while watching the setting sun.
LesG wrote on September 25, 2012
This hotel is perched right next to the Alhambra, affording a fantastic view of Granada. In addition it is a great hotel, with a very friendly and helpful staff and having a terrific restaurant. At night the lights of Granada which we could view both from our room and the dining room are exquisite.

Parking is restricted at the hotel and we were told to park at the Alhambra Palace visitors carpark about 500 metres away - a fairly pleasant walk through woods but around 28 euros for 48 hours. A bit annoying if some guests get to park at the hotel for free!
Anonymous wrote on October 15, 2010
Very nice hotel from inside. Excellent location of you want to visit alhambra, but too far from the city. Especially because of the location they need to have a pool or some other facility. Booked is after reading marvelous reviews - to be honest the price is still to high for a **** hotel out of the city - my expectations were much larger than we met. The terrace had sush a high walls imitating castle wall that we could not observe the city from the hill - big dissapointment - so nice photos on the site is more to say about photografer experince than about the real picture that you see the service was excellent !

Well GM got me into a newer car finally! 2009 Saturn Aura XE
As the title says GM finally made a car that i would buy again. I was looking for a graduation gift for my wife from college and saw this sitting on the lot. As most longtime members know i am not a fan of any GM after 2004 because i felt the quality had gone so far down hill. So i found this one on a dealer lot. It is a 2009 Saturn Aura XE with the 2.4L 4cyl, and 6spd auto. The lines are great the color was nice, and is still has 10K left on the powertrain warranty and for $9K who could go wrong. it even had brand new tires. So i bought it and have been more than impressed with the power from the 4cyl motor and the 6spd is actually a sweet little tranny (if you have driven a double clutched gear box that is since in an auto it can be a little jerky). Heck it has all the options that we want, and i wasnt aware that they even came with the paddle shifters on the steering wheel. When i put it in manual i was impressed at how fast the shifts where for being a manumatic. The interior is a bit on the cheap side with all the plastic but what do you expect. Heck with 33mpg they have to save some weight somewhere. I will be getting some pics of it a bit later. but i just wanted to put up a review of the little monster and give you all a laugh since GM seems to have gotten me back at least in the car arena.

Help with White Horse Blended Scotch Whisky
Can you tell me the age and, most importantly, value of a 750ML 80 Proof bottle of White Horse Blended Scotch Whiskey (White Horse Distillers LTD Glasgow, Scotland)?
It reads: AH No. 2210026. Imported by Shaw-Ross International, Importers, Inc. Miami, FLA-1-356. The bar code reads: 8832029003, if that helps. I have pictures, as well, but I'm not sure as to how to upload them here. |
We can date your bottle, but as always need photos!
Hit "Post Reply" and to insert your photo, look for the paper clip icon (to the right of the smiley face). Click on it - a new window will open which gives you the option to browse your computer for your photo. Once you do that and Upload - close that window. If your photo does not attach, that means it's too big, so re-size and try again. Once you're set and have closed out of that window, you'll be back to the main page with your question. Click on the paper clip icon again and it might say Insert Attachments" or it may just show numbers - go ahead and either click on Insert Attachments or just click on the numbers and it will insert into your message. You won't actually see the photo until you either preview it (look to bottom of the body of your thread, below the icons and you'll see a button to either Submit New Thread or to Preview Post. Once you click on either of these, you will see your photos. Please give it a try and let me know how it goes.

Abstract: It is assumed that K blocks (e.g. seasons) of observations are available, and the parameters characterizing a fixed-frequency sinusoidal variability (mean light level, amplitude, phase) are constant within each of the blocks. The paper is concerned with estimation when any combination of these parameters varies between blocks of observations. This allows observations subject to changes in mean light level, spot sizes and/or spot locations to be modelled. Objective choices between competing models, and the calculation of the standard errors of model parameters, are also dealt with. Illustrative applications to simulated and real data are given.

Abstract: We have built a hybrid voice/text web–board that utilizes floor control for handling resources such as microphone and interface events. The aim of this research is to determine the most appropriate floor control mechanism for a hybrid communication tool that allows conventional text and audio users to communicate with one another using a common interface. Research on floor control mechanisms provides many implementations for arbitration that are application-specific. Myers proposes a categorical explanation of the most widely used mechanisms for providing floor control and discusses these different dimensions with respect to a project called Pebbles. We have chosen to model our arbitration policies along these categories. The application will be implemented as a Java applet and gives users a view of both the text and audio aspects of the exchange. To facilitate the multi-modality of the system we will provide media conversion, using the Nuance system's Java API. Our hypothesis is that well–known multi-tasking arbitration protocols such as FCFS, Round Robin, Token – based, and many more can be adapted to create a conferencing floor control policy for the interface of a hybrid communication environment so as to facilitate free–flowing multi-modal conversation. Measurements to determine which floor control implementation provides the best arbitration in terms of user interaction with the system will be calculated using RPT, ORT and usage tests based on the Kirkpatrick Model. We hope to show that users benefit more from an implicit arbitration mechanism than they do from an explicit one. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10566/538 Files in this item: 1

Abstract: This article, an expanded version of a 2008 public lecture, explores the life and times of Adolph Gysbert ʻSailor' Malan, a South African who rose to prominence as a combatant in the 1940 Battle of Britain and who, after his post-war return to the Union, became a notable personality in liberal reform politics. A classic Anglo-Afrikaner empire loyalist or ʻKing's Afrikaner', Malan became ʻSailor' through his interwar merchant marine service, joining the Royal Air Force in the later 1930s. An exceptional fighter pilot, his wartime role as an RAF ace in defending Britain turned him into a national hero, a migrating loyal Springbok who had sprung selflessly to the defence of Great Britain. Subsequently, as an ex-serviceman, Malan drew on his wartime sensibilities and beliefs to return to political battle in his home country, in opposition to post-1948 Afrikaner nationalism and its apartheid policies. The mini-biography of Sailor Malan analyses several key life-story elements, including his seafaring apprenticeship, British wartime identity and combat experience, and troubled relationship with post- 1945 South Africa as a gradualist liberal.

Abstract: This article analyses the legal framework surrounding male circumcision (infant and youth) in South Africa, having explained the requirements of international human rights law. Provincial legislation regulating traditional circumcision is detailed, followed by an explanation and analysis of the relevant provisions of the Children's Act 38 of 2005 and its accompanying Regulations. Thereafter the recently changed context, as evidenced by the current campaign for mass male circumcision as a means of preventing HIV/AIDS, is considered. The implications for the narrow circumstances in which circumcision is legalised by the Children's Act are then explored, and further potential results - in the longer term - for traditional circumcision practices are predicted.

Abstract: This essay reconstructs the way in which Douglas John Hall tells the story of God's work. The argument of this essay is that Hall's entire theology could be described as an exposition of the famous formula in John 3:16, "for God so loved the world". His emphasis on a theology of the cross is explored with reference to the doctrines of creation, humanity, providence, redemption, the church and the eschatological consummation. It is argued that Hall's strength (his Christological focus on a theology of the cross) is also his weakness, given his underdeveloped pneumatology. It would therefore be important to further investigate Hall's understanding of the filioque problem. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10566/513 Files in this item: 1

Abstract: Most of the pulsations which have been observed in sdB stars have very low amplitudes. Detection of modes from photometric observations is usually performed by noting the most prominent peaks in a periodogram or, equivalently, an amplitude spectrum. A common strategy is to assume that peaks which exceed four times the mean noise level correspond to significant periodicities. The efficiency of the assumption is investigated by simulation. It is found that the actual significance levels corresponding to the four sigma limit may vary by orders of magnitude, depending on the exact data configuration.

Abstract: The new cabinet ushered in after the 2009 national elections features new and renamed ministries. Those expected to take the lead in a new initiative to resuscitate the rural economy are the Ministry of Rural Development and Land Reform and the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries. While the newfound priority placed on rural development is welcome, its separation from the dynamic subsectors in the rural economy is not. This brief shows how existing policies are bifurcated between BEE models for the better off and welfare for the poor. There is now a danger that the two ministries will replicate the dualism of the so-called 'first' and 'second' economies – an approach that deepens exclusion from and legitimises exploitation in the economic core, and prevents the creation of a 'missing middle' of successful small producers. What is needed instead is rural development that restructures the commercial sectors of agriculture, forestry and fisheries, and the exploitative class relations (with workers and small producers) on which they are based, and which breaks down the concentration of capital and market power in few hands. Only then can redistributing land, forests and fishing quotas create new pathways for 'the rural poor' to participate, and produce, in these sectors in ways that create livelihoods and jobs, and set South Africa on a different and more appropriate growth path.

Abstract: Small, home-based grocery stores, known as spaza shops, are ubiquitous throughout the township areas of urban South Africa, constituting an important business in the informal economy. In recent years, this retail market has become a site of fierce competition between South African shopkeepers and foreign entrepreneurs, especially Somalis, and is often cited in the media as one reason behind the xenophobic attacks on foreigners. Drawing on original data collected in the Delft township in the city of Cape Town, this paper demonstrates that foreign entrepreneurs, overwhelmingly Somalis, have come to own around half of the sizeable spaza market in Delft in the last five years. This increase is attributable to larger scale and price competitive behaviour as these entrepreneurs operate collectively in terms of buying shops, and stock, as well as in stock distribution. Also important are some more customer friendly services too. Compared to the more 'survivalist' local business model where individual owners look to supplement existing household income rather than generate an entire livelihood, the Somali business model has rapidly outcompeted local owners, bringing spaza prices down and forcing many locals to rent out their shop space to foreign shopkeepers. Consequently, while South African shopkeepers resent the Somali influx, most consumers appreciate the better prices and improved service. The rise of Somali shopkeepers thus represents a transformation of business practice in the spaza sector from survivalist to entrepreneurial modes URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10566/517 Files in this item: 1

Abstract: This article examines how women organise themselves in community structures to claim socio-economic rights through participation. The discussion is based on case study research undertaken in Khayelitsha, Site C, where women involved in incomegenerating projects (IGPs) have also been involved in a dual strategy of trying to improve their living conditions through active engagement. The article looks at the intermediary institutions, the South African national Civics Association (SANCO) and the Khayelitsha Development Forum (KDF) which mediate the participatory spaces for engagement created by local government, and how these organisations serve ordinary men and women from the townships in terms of helping them to attain a better quality of life.

Abstract: In recent times South African politics has come to exhibit features typical of many post-colonial contexts, not least the rise of acrimonious and confrontational politics based around personalities and forms of populism. In such contexts rational dialogue and democratic deliberation become increasingly difficult to get going and to sustain. Drawing on Richard Turner's The Eye of the Needle, first published some forty years ago, the paper examines the role religion, and religious organisations, could play in returning such acrimonious public debate to more democratic and visionary grounds. The key point is that religion offers a form of transcendence from the divisive and bitter particularities that animate contemporary political conflicts. It does this through the spiritual affirmation of our shared human worth due to the love of God(s). From this recognition, achieved through spiritual appeals, the conditions for more rational and democratic debate can be retrieved. In addition, religious transcendence redeems the value of utopian thinking, and thus could help re-orientate public debate from a politics of blame for past wrongs to a politics of imagining of future rights.

Abstract: This research report demonstrates that international human rights law played a quintessential role in the drafting of the Constitution of South Africa, 1996, particularly the Bill of Rights, and that this was more so with regard to socio-economic rights where the provisions of the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights (ICESCR) highly influenced the guarantees of these rights under the Constitution, both in terms of language and content. The role of international human rights law has been even more pronounced in the South African socio-economic rights jurisprudence that has developed since 1994. Courts have referred to and applied international human rights law norms directly. This paper argues, however, that there are some areas where courts have fallen short in their appreciation and/or application of international human rights law.

Piper, Laurence (SUN Press, 2012)[more][less]
Abstract: This chapter argues that local government elections offer a unique opportunity in South Africa's political system for voters to practice forms of democracy that are more local, plural and accountable in character than at provincial or national level. A key reason for this is the mixed electoral system where half of all councillors are directly elected from the wards in which they live. The 2011 election supplied significant evidence of voters attempting to make use of this opportunity, particularly around the candidate selection process of the major parties, and through the accountability talk that dominated public debate. However, analysis of both 'supply' (party behaviour) and 'demand' (voter choice) suggests that this democratic potential was outweighed by bipartisan politics between the ANC and DA which affirmed the national over the local, a choice between two parties over many, and reinforced identity-based political loyalties over the direct accountability of politicians. In short, the 2011 elections were rendered a proxy for a national competition, frustrating much of the unique democratic potential that local government elections offer, effectively taking local politics further from the people. The proposal to hold national, provincial and local elections simultaneously in the future will further impede the democratic potential of the local electoral system.

Abstract: This paper, written at the close of a decade of democracy in South Africa, sets out to analyse the demographic profile of dental graduates from 1985-2004 at the five Faculties/Schools of Dentistry in South Africa. A comparison of the profiles for the pre-democracy (1985-1994) and post-apartheid (1995-2004) periods has been made. The demographic profile of first year dental students from 2000-2005 is also presented. From 1985-1994, most dental graduates were male (79%), but this changed substantially from 1995-2004, with females comprising 46% of those graduating. In the pre-democracy period, more than three-quarters of all graduates were White (78%), decreasing to 46% in the post-apartheid period under review. Black graduates increased from 6% to 24% across the two study periods. Amongst the first year dental student intake from 2000- 2005, females comprised 57%. There was an almost equal distribution across the White, Black and Asian groups. Dental faculties/schools have made important strides in transforming the demographic profile of their students. The percentage of Black graduates, however, needs to be significantly increased if it is to reflect the national population. Faculties/schools must further ensure that able students from working class background are identified and considered for acceptance into the undergraduate dental programme, and should then be offered the necessary academic and mentoring support to enable success.

Abstract: Objectives: A mixed methods study exploring gender differences in patient profiles and experiences of ART services, along the access dimensions of availability, affordability and acceptability, in two rural and two urban areas of South Africa. methods Structured exit interviews (n = 1266) combined with in-depth interviews (n = 20) of women and men enrolled in ART care. results Men attending ART services were more likely to be employed (29% vs. 20%, P = 0.001) and were twice as likely to be married ⁄ co-habiting as women (42% vs. 22% P = 0.001). Men had known their HIV status for a shorter time (mean 32 vs. 36 months, P = 0.021) and were also less likely to disclose their status to non-family members (17% vs. 26%, P = 0.001). From both forms of data collection, a key finding was the role of female partners in providing social support and facilitating use of services by men. The converse was true for women who relied more on extended families and friends than on partners for support. Young, unmarried and unemployed men faced the greatest social isolation and difficulty. There were no major gender differences in the health system (supply side) dimensions of access. conclusions Gender differences in experiences of HIV services relate more to social than health system factors. However, the health system could be more responsive by designing services in ways that enable earlier and easier use by men. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10566/474 Files in this item: 1

Abstract: In this essay the relation between justice and the gift in Derrida's thinking is explored. The essay shows that an understanding of the ontological difference or the relation between Being and beings in Heidegger's thinking as well as Freud's speculations on the death drive are essential to comprehend the 'concept' or 'notion' of différance as well as the gift in Derrida's thinking. The analysis points to the complexity of Derrida's thinking in his contemplation of the relation between justice and law and the need for a broader investigation to understand what is at stake in this regard. An exploration of the gift shows that Derrida's thinking on justice is not 'relativistic' as is often assumed and that the gift can in a certain way function as a 'guide' in questions of constitutional interpretation.
