- Helps treat and prevent acne breakouts & blackheads
- Exfoliates dead skin cells and removes oil & dirt from skin
- Great for sensitive skin and those who experience allergic reactions
OxyCerin is derived from only the best all-natural acne-fighting ingredients that work with your skin to not only get rid of acne, but to heal and strengthen it so that acne breakouts are less likely to occur in the future. OxyCerin is a pure product that won't further irritate your skin like so many other products on the skin care market.
Tea tree oil is a native plant of Australia that has been revered for its effectiveness as an anti-bacterial and anti-fungal agent. Often referred to as Melaleuca oil, tea tree oil has been used for centuries as a traditional topical medicine for the skin and its ability to treat and heal sores, cuts, scrapes, and wounds. Often used as an antiseptic, this amazing acne fighter has recently drawn lots of attention and scientific research to its effectiveness in the fight against acne as it destoys a large part of acne-causing bacteria.
In recent clinical trials and tests, results showed that Tea Tree Oil is just as effective, if not more effective than benzoyl peroxide. The good news is that Tea Tree Oil does not contain any of the negative side effects associated with benzoyl peroxide.
A randomized trial by the Department of Dermatology at the Royal Prince Alfred Hospital in Australia compared the effectiveness and tolerance of 5% tea tree oil with 5% benzoyl peroxide lotion in 124 people with mild to moderate acne. People in both groups had a significant reduction in inflamed and non-inflammed acne lesions (open and closed comedones) over the three month period.
However, in the benzoyl peroxide group, 89% of people had side effects including itching, stinging, burning, and dryness. Researchers noted that there were virtually no side effects at all in the tea tree oil group.
Throughout your entire life your skin is creating new cells, shedding old ones, and producing oil to keep your skin moisturized and water resistant. The problem lies when old skin cells aren't sloughed off or washed away, but instead collect in your pores (the space surrounding hair follicles). Because your pores are a site for oil production as well as collecting pools for dead cells, the two mix to form an oily substance called sebum. Because sebum is moist and thick and exists in an enclosed space, it is the perfect breeding ground for bacteria.
Acne Starts Forming Beneath the Skin
When irritating acne-causing bacteria breeds, your skin sends white immunity cells to fight the bacteria off. Now, the war between the bacteria and white blood cells causes your skin to become irritated and inflamed around the pore and this is what forms the beginnings of a pimple.
Irritated skin leads to Infection
Pimples become larger and more irritated as the infection spreads, and when pimples fill with white pus, that white substance is simply white blood cells that died in their battle against the bacteria. Acne can be caused by personal hygiene habits but can also be the product of hormonal imbalances, genetics, and stress.
OxyCerin is a potent combination of skin care ingredients that includes ingredients to fight your acne by killing acne-causing bacteria, and ingredients to moisturize and strengthen your skin at the same time. Most acne treatments dry out your skin in order to treat your acne, but not OxyCerin. This product has been developed in such a way that it balances the treating and repairing aspects of skincare in order to improve both the appearance and quality of your skin. Where most acne products only focus on clearing your acne and leaving your skin more red, dry, and irritated than when it began, OxyCerin comes out on top as a total skincare package.
OxyCerin is a revolutionary acne treatment product because it combines acne fighting ingredients with ingredients that simultaneously work to heal and repair acne affected skin. The majority of acne products typically boast chemical formulas that end up harming your skin more than they help, but OxyCerin is confident that you'll be satisfied with its more holistic approach to skin care. By containing ingredients like Tea Tree Oil, MSM, and White Willow Bark, OxyCerin is taking advantage of the very best natural acne remedies on the market.
5% Tea Tree Oil
Native to the north east coast of Australia, tea tree oil has antiseptic as well as antibacterial properties. Originally used to treat wounds and skin rashes, tea tree oil has only recently made its debut on the acne treatment scene. Comparable to Benzoyl Peroxide in strength, tea tree oil will be much more gentle on your skin while still clearing your complexion quickly.
Purified Water
This ingredient may not sound that important but what good are any other acne-fighting substances if they're mixed in unclean water? Whether you'd like to believe it or not, water can contain bacteria that further aggravates your acne. By combining our ingredients in a purified base, we leave no room for exceptions.
Organic Aloe Vera
Aloe vera is a multi-faceted acne treatment that works to fight acne but also works to heal your skin. First, aloe vera has antiseptic and antibacterial properties (much like tea tree oil) but it is mild enough to not have a drying effect on your skin. Second, aloe vera works to trap moisture within your skin so your face won't feel dry and flakey after you use OxyCerin.
Methylsulfonylmethane is a bio-available form of sulfur. Sulfur has been used is many different acne treatments (like proactive) because it has proven to promote healthy tissues, act as a disinfectant, and reduce inflammation. Because OxyCerin contains sulfur, it is able to reduce the red and swollen appearance of acne, help kill acne-causing bacteria, and promote overall skin healing.
Green Tea
Green tea contains Epigallocatechin Gallate (EGCG) which is a powerful antioxidant that can fight the free radicals that often irritate and damage your skin to cause acne in the first place. Green tea has also proven to act as an anti-bacterial that has the potential to kill the bacteria that causes acne. Green tea isn't associated with any side effects and is the perfect natural alternative to chemically-derived acne treatments.
Peppermint oil has proven to fight skin infections and reduces the soreness and itching associated with acne. Peppermint is a useful ingredient in acne treatments because it helps in the here and now to reduce pain, swelling, and irritation associated with severe acne breakouts.
Burdock is a powerful acne-fighting ingredient because it draws toxins and impurities from the skin. At first you may experience your acne getting slightly worse as pimples are drawn to the surface, but the temporary acne flare-up is worth the end product of smooth, clear, radiant skin. Burdock is safe to use long-term because it yields no harmful side effects.

"I was looking for a tea tree oil acne product and came across OxyCerin in my search. I've tried several other tea tree oil products in the past and have found OxyCerin to be the most successful by far."
- Ken Booth
"I've been using OxyCerin for two weeks now and my skin is finally starting to clear up. At first I was worried because my acne got worse, but after the first week I started to see improvements and no new pimples have appeared. I'd recommend this product to anyone looking for a safe and effective acne treatment."
- Ben Hall
"I love OxyCerin because it doesn't dry out and irritate my skin like so many other acne treatments I've tried. I've even tried prescription solutions like Retin-A and Tetracycline but OxyCerin is still my favorite product."
- Alexa Needham
"I'm 42 years old and still suffer from acne breakouts. I was so sick and tired of spending money on products that didn't work until my daughter discovered OxyCerin online and recommended that I try it with her. We've both been using the product for a month now and are ready to order out next bottles to maintain our acne free complexions!"
- Karly Brown
"I suffered from terrible acne when I was in high school and college so the second my son started breaking out I began researching natural treatments right away. I had heard that tea tree oil was comparable to treatments like benzoyl peroxide but without the irritating side effects, so that's where I began my search. I came across OxyCerin and decided to have my son give it a try, it's been three weeks now and his skin is improving dramatically. I'll definitely have my younger kids use this product when they start breaking out as well."
- Mary Kline
Q: How do I use OxyCerin?
A: OxyCerin is to be used twice a day in order to experience the best acne fighting benefits. To use this product, simply fill the dropper and then spread a thin layer over your acne affected skin. Before you know how your skin is going to react to OxyCerin, begin your treatments once a day.
Q: How does OxyCerin clear acne?
A: OxyCerin is an all-natural product that contains ingredients to kill acne-causing bacteria, reduce pain and inflammation associated with acne breakouts, moisturize, and strengthen your skin so that acne breakouts are less likely to occur in the future.
Q: Will I have to continue using OxyCerin for my skin to stay clear?
A: Because there is no definitive cure for acne and because bacteria can't be banished permanently, OxyCerin is great for clear skin maintenance. However, once you've cleared your acne using this product, you can cut back to applying the serum once a day or even every other day to help keep your acne in check.
Q: Does your product work for everyone?
A: Unfortunately, not every acne treatment (natural or not) is going to work for everyone's skin type and acne severity. For the 2% of OxyCerin users who find this to be the case, we do offer a 90 day Money Back Guarantee.
Q: What is OxyCerin's World Famous Money Back Guarantee?
A: Every OxyCerin order comes with the world's best money back guarantee!

Featured Book The Chapman Stick hardcover Bob Culbertson
Lesson Book and DVD $30 Published by Mel Bay STICKOLOGY, A GUIDE TO PLAYING THE CHAPMAN STICK is now available. 72 pages, published by Mel Bay and includes a one hour DVD. Emmett's comments on the book: A note of appreciation to Steve on this Christmas Day. We just received Mel Bay's first shipment of the new lesson book, "Stickology", and I just finished reading it through. Many thanks Steve, for including my preface and history of the playing method on the opening pages. I'm proud to have had a small part in this excellent instructional resource for Stick and "FTI" players. It covers all manner of Stick techniques from the solid foundations to the more exotic finger expressions and stylistic devises, also with some Stick history and music theory to add depth and meaning. All the photos, tablature, diagrams and exercises will certainly sustain interest and motivate musical progress. Thanks also to Mel Bay Publications for publishing and releasing this Stick book on two-handed string tapping. It's a great feeling to have that kind of support from a long established music publisher whose books have inspired countless young American musicians of past generations. Steve's DVD accompanies the book in a pouch on the inside rear cover, and seems basically to recap all the lessons but in a humorous personal style, showing how it's all physically done and what musical possibilities can result. The DVD shows Steve in typical teaching and communicating mode, following what I've always felt was one of his callings, that is, to enlighten the student "by leaps and bounds" - a master teachers technique that fosters independence in learning and, ironically, ultimate freedom from the teacher. Thanks Steve for the inspiration, Emmett.

RIM all juice and no berry: Falls off top 5 list
For the first time ever, Blackberry has fallen of the top 5 list
July 29, 2012 4:00 by kippreport
For the first time in the company's history, Blackberry (Research in Motion) has fallen off the top 5 list of dominating market shares in the smart phone industry. To say that the falling company has received media heat would be an understatement as it has been said that RIM's smart phones are no longer 'smart', among many other critical commentary.
According to Research Group IDC, the company is no longer in the list of largest market shares in the world. Although RIM is pinning high hopes on its upcoming release of Blackberry '10′; only time can tell if that will prove to be a game changer for the its future. From nearly 10 per cent of global market share in 2007, RIM grew its share to 15.6 per cent in 2008 and reached a height of 19.9 per cent of the global smartphone market in 2009. It was a downhill journey from there.
Almost everywhere you go in the Middle East, Blackberry is one of most commonly seen phones in users' hands, but yet you wonder how G(RIM) times have hit the company. Well, many analysts say that it is a company in transition, much like Nokia and since all their smart phones will be running on the BB 10 platform which is in process to be released; its fate is unknown until that time comes.
RIM has been working to turn around operations after watching its market share eroded by the growing popularity of Apple's iPhone and smartphones running Google's Android operating system.
The company hopes the debut of its BlackBerry 10 operating system and a new line of BlackBerry smartphones will help keep its subscribers from defecting to other devices, particularly in the United States. The real question is, did RIM lose its value in the eyes of their customers or did competitors like Apple simply raise the bar higher? Maybe both.
In either case, time will be the teller but the company is surely putting all their 'Blackberries in one basket' with the release of the BB 10. RIM's CEO, Thorsten Heins, has vowed to turn around the company, but has delayed until early 2013 a crucial new batch of devices – called BlackBerry 10 – that form the core of RIM's comeback strategy because he felt they were not yet perfected.
Blackberry, Samsung and Apple are locked in a three-way horn fight; latest Samsung device vs BB 10 vs The mysterious iPhone 5. The success of each company will rely on its own product but more on the success of its rival's product. Let the battles begin!
Since their ambition lies in the new platform acting as their saviour; let's ask you as Blackberry users. What changes would you like to see that you think are big enough to save them?

it started with an email with my favorite t-shirt designer, Amanda, with Eight Baby Legs.
you might remember that I adore Amanda,
that she's created all the birthday shirts my boys have worn for their parties,
that she's a-maz-ing.
she'd seen a line of shirts for back to school,
and while the thought of "be cool" and "be rad"
do sound fun,
it's really not what my family is all about.
we want our boys to be worried about others,
to put God first,
to know that they can make a difference.
we wish them to have
the most
kind hearts.
so it was an easy choice for their newest shirts
to everyone,
every day,
and do it with your whole heart.
thank you Amanda, you are one of my favorites. xx
find Amanda on Etsy | Facebook
my favorite outtake…
I really love what you wrote Melissa. The boys look GREAT – can't believe how much T has grown – and those T-Shirts are excellent. Hope they catch on. Great photos too of course and that last one is hilarious! It makes you wonder just what they were thinking with those expressions they're wearing?

More Secret Service agents gone; Obama briefed
Reader Comments
Sarah Palin is the best person to happen on the politic scene in many years. Some men, in the politicial field resent Sarah because she speaks the truth with guts, and honesty, that they do not have...some women hate Sarah because she is a decent, intelligent woman with morals and guts...had Sarah been put in office our country would now be on it's way up...not on the downward spiral that it is on. She was the best candidate for office...I did not vote for McCain, who was, by his very actions, complicity in Obama winning the election...I voted for Sarah Palin. Most America see Sarah for what she is, a strong, intellingent and moral...we need her in the white house if we are ever going to survive the politicians that are in office at this time.Those who do not realize who she is is generally just 'hateful' people who love hurting anyone that they can see is a better person than they are.
For your information, Mrs. Sarah Palin is one of the most respected person in the political arena in the United States of America and should be in the whole WORLD. She is very smart, honest and She would be an awsome president for this wonderful Country of ours. Shame on anyone, who talks or writes negatively about Her. We should be proud of her and listen to her every word, because she has the best intention to show us all how to be and how to live our lives to make America the best country on this Earth. Lets not be negative about Mrs. Palin, she doesn't deserve it!!!
All of us should be kind to each-other to make this country a better place to live.
First off, Sarah Palin is interjecting herself, once again, into a situation that has nothing to do with her simply to get attention. She will NEVER be elected to the WhiteHouse, so much she's even conceded, so she should just go away and be a wife and mother! As far as the Secret Service and assorted military personnel go, I'm ashamed! I'm former military and once carried a very high security clearance myself, so I know what is expected of those who are chosen. This makes our whole country look bad in the eyes of the world, when members of our gov't, who are considered to be the "best of the best", act like horny, irresponsible college kids on Spring Break, in some bad hollywood summer release! ALL of this came from ONE agent refusing to pay a lousy $150 to a local prositute! I DO NOT bleam President Obama, or his administration for these agents' behavior. I DO however, fear for his safety now, seeing the professional calibre of those who are charged with his safety!!!!
Not as bad as the Democratic jokes
Gotta love a woman like Palin ... so amusing to see how her very existence, let alone intellectual and macho prowess, demonstrates that too many western men still cling to old-world attitudes toward women, particularly women who are so obviously their superiors. wah-wah
"Perhaps it would be in the interests of a complete and thorough and fair investigation not to make determinations about the conclusions of an investigation before they've even been reached," Carney said. "That's the president's position."
HA HA HA HA HA!! George Zimmerman anyone? Henry Gates anyone?
Palin is clearly vindictive as illustrated by her comments re: Couric who is a much classier lady and now on some Secret Service Agent. She was sooooo
unprepared for national news much less Vp, now she has a huge ax to grind which only makes her look worse in the public eye.
Some people never learn how to behave.
You people are pathetic. And probably avid supporters of the one posing as the leader of the free world. Really sad,
Sarah Shut up. How did you handle S Tripp and Todd. This must bring up some old memories Dried Out Old Lady
Palin is just another Republicon joke.

Author: David Barton
For the last 100 years, we have heard the following about our third president and author of the Declaration of Independence, Thomas Jefferson:
- Thomas Jefferson fathered one or more children of Sally Hemmings, one of his young, black female slaves.
- Thomas Jefferson was not a Christian, he was a deist.
- Thomas Jefferson believed in the separation of church and state.
- Thomas Jefferson supported slavery because he didn't free his slaves upon his death, like George Washington did.
Many books have been written about our founding fathers. Yet one of the most famous, Thomas Jefferson, has been surprisingly ignored. When references have been made to Jefferson by the liberal media, numerous insinuations have been made against his morals and Christian faith.
David Barton, founder and president of Wallbuilders, presents a thoroughly researched biography of both his personal and political life, proving that negative stories about Jefferson are due to misinformation, myths, and downright lies.
This is an excellent, beautiful book about one of our most important and beloved founding fathers.

A study that was published in Oxford Journals was conducted "to evaluate the efficacy and safety of etanercept 100 vs 50 mg/week in patients with AS." In the study, "adult patients with AS were randomized to receive etanercept 50mg twice a week, or etanercept 50mg once a week for 12 weeks."
The study concluded that "high-dose (100mg/week) etanercept in the treatment of AS for 12 weeks is as safe as the standard dose (50mg/week). However, it does not significantly increase its efficacy."

Pembrokeshire takes the plunge
11:57am Wednesday 12th September 2012 in Sport
Steven LoBue celebrated the first win of his cliff diving career as the Red Bull World Series came to The Blue Lagoon, Abereiddy.
The American secured an overall score of 481.90 from his four dives, beating series leader Orlando Duque, of Colombia, into second place.
Britain's Gary Hunt was third.
Remarkably, LoBue only arrived in the area on Friday after visa problems left him stuck in the United States.
But despite missing out on the practice days during the week, he produced the performance of his career after entering the final rounds in third place.
"I was the last one in and the first one out," joked LoBue, whose return flight to Fort Lauderdale, Florida, was in the early hours of Sunday morning.
"I'm delighted with my performance and after working some things out last year, I've been gaining more experience.
"Now I want to carry it forward."
Each of the 14 divers were required to do one competitive dive on the Friday morning and a further three on Saturday, with the degree of difficulty escalating each time.
The event exhilarated the crowds, with just under 3,000 people attending the venue over the two days.
There were particularly good receptions for Hunt and Blake Aldridge, who competed in the 2008 Olympics in Beijing.
But Hunt, who currently lies second in the overall standings, had to settle for third after he mistimed his triple quad dive in the third round off the 27-metre platform.
Aldridge entered the final morning in second place, but eventually finished seventh after poorly executing his back armstand dive with four twists in the second round.
However, the most intriguing story of the weekend belonged to another Brit, Matt Cowen, who only arrived in Abereiddy to watch the action.
After Thursday's practice round had finished, the young diver asked if he could "try out" the platform himself.
However, onlooking judges Claudio De Miro, Greg Louganis, Ken Grove, Sara Massenz and Renato Rosi were so impressed with his efforts they offered him a wildcard into the main competition.
He finished in fourteenth place with an overall score of 233.60, but admitted to enjoying an "unbelievable experience".
The event was the sixth out of seven Red Bull World Cliff Diving Series meetings, with the season culminating in Oman at the end of the month.
Duque leads the standings with 840 points, while Hunt has 770.
LoBue is now up to third with 740.
Results from Abereiddy:
1, Steven Lobue, USA, 481.90.
2, Orlando Duque, Colombia, 467.80.
3, Gary Hunt, UK, 460.75.
4, Anatoliy Shabotenko, Ukraine, 443.40.
5, David Colteri, USA, 427.60.
6, Artem Silchenko, Russia, 414.10.
7, Blake Aldridge, UK, 398.80.
8, Kent De Mond, USA, 371.35.
9, Alain Kohl, Luxembourg, 272.40.
10, Michal Navratil, CZE, 260.95 11, Cyrille Oumedjkane, France, 254.10.
12, Toder Spasov, Bulgaria, 240.80.
13, Kyle Mitrione, USA, 236.80,
14, Matt Cowen, UK, 233.60.

First Civilian Trial of Gitmo Inmate Ends With 284 Acquittals and One Conviction
Last month, the first civilian trial of a Guantanamo detainee began in downtown Manhattan. A major test of the Obama administration's legal strategy against terrorism, it went off without a hitch. Until today, when the verdict came in: Ahmed Khalfan Ghailani, a Tanzanian who was accused of buying the supplies for the 1998 embassy bombings that killed over 200 people, was acquitted of 284 out of 285 charges filed against him.
He was found guilty of one charge of conspiracy to damage or destroy U.S. property, which will entail a minimum of twenty years in federal prison, but was acquitted of multiple murder charges. Administration officials were reportedly confident that he would be convicted of everything.
That he wasn't and nearly walked has apparently provided fodder for critics of trying terrorism suspects in civilian court, just as Attorney General Eric Holder is nearing a decision on what will become of Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and four other 9/11 conspirators. Long Island congressman Peter King, for one, called the verdicts "a tragic wake-up call to the Obama administration to immediately abandon its ill-advised plan" for civilian trials.
But what exactly made this trial a failure? That a conviction is not preordained is kind of the point of America's conception of justice. "I don't think we judge success based on the number of convictions that were received," Mason Clutter, the counsel of the Rule of Law Program at the Constitution Project, tells the Times. "I think we judge success based on fair prosecutions consistent with the Constitution and the rule of law."

Thanks to some comments on my post about how I like to teach, I decided to expound.
My new love is concept attainment.
I'll use my parallelogram unit as an example since I referenced it in the post above.
I started out with a Powerpoint slide in two columns.
The left column contains examples, the right column contains non-examples. As I clicked through, a shape appeared in each column. Students had to compare/contrast the two figures and decide what the example had that the non-example did not. After each pair, I instructed the students to modify or add to their guess so that it would apply to every pair.
By the end, they should have around 4 different properties of parallelograms without me ever saying a word. Well, maybe some leading questions. But we never mention the word parallelogram.
Then using rulers and protractors, we dove in to this investigation. Students measured pieces of parallelograms to find properties of a parallelogram, some of which are the same as what they deduced from the Powerpoint slides.
By the end of the period, students collaborated in teams to write a pretty well all-encompassing definition of a parallelogram. The 'actual learning' is that they've brainstormed, compared/contrasted, modified, and deduced these things all on their own. They've discovered the hidden secrets of the parallelogram! And they're much more likely to remember what they've found on their own as opposed to what they read or heard me say.
For those of you that are curious, the next day we did a parallelogram sort. Students measured pieces of other quadrilaterals to decide what properties apply to all, some, or none. Once they cut out and sorted the properties into four piles, they converted that information into this nifty checklist.
Finally from there, I threw the handout of problems referenced in my post. Using only the properties they discovered, they began to solve problems. We had not solved any problems at all. So in my mind, this was a "problem of a type learners had never seen, and related to a concept that had never been taught". I guess what I should have mentioned is that we did lay a foundation of properties before throwing those problems to students. But, in no teaching strategy that I know of, do we ever toss brand new information out to students without a lifeline.
We want to provide opportunities that are challenging but doable.Say it with me: scaffolding. I believe this strategy achieved that for me. I made sure my students could swim and and had their life preserver, then I threw them overboard.
And they're swimming.
And they just keep swimming, just keep swimming. Just keep swimming, swimming, swimming. What do we dooooooooooooo? We swim, swim.
Ah-hem. Pardon me.
I have some life preservers to fetch.

Ken Read says Canada may host alpine World Cup giant slalom next season
TweetKen Read says Canada may host alpine World Cup giant slalom next season{mosimage}LAKE LOUISE (Alberta) March 2, 2005 – Early this week, Resorts of the Canadian Rockies and the Lake Louise ski resort hosted two men's and women's giant slalom (GS) races. As hundreds of racers coming from Canada, the USA, Great Britain, New Zealand, Japan and Ireland battled for gold, the race's organizing committee evaluated the track's potential of hosting a men's World Cup giant slalom. The competitions were a success and consequently, the likelihood of adding a men's GS race to the men's Lake Louise World Cup weekend set for late November continues to increase.
The Lake Louise ski resort has been Canada's only World Cup stop and has, in recent years, hosted exclusively men's and women's downhill and super-G races in late November and early December. In recent years, efforts have been made to increase the number and diversity of races showcased at Lake Louise, including the potential hosting of a men's giant slalom event.
This week's races served precisely as a test to evaluate the feasibility of running a technical competition on Lake Louise's famed track. The races were a success, which has prompted involved parties to continue discussions with the Fédération Internationale de Ski in the hope of ensuring compliance with the governing body's requirements for hosting a technical event at Lake Louise.
"Alpine Canada Alpin is extremely excited at the prospect of bringing World Cup technical events back to Canada, " said Ken Read, President, Alpine Canada Alpin. "We are aiming to increase our capacity of hosting slalom and giant slalom races at the World Cup level and this is an important first step."
"By hosting a giant slalom race at Lake Louise, we would have the opportunity to showcase our team's core strengths while allowing our top technical athletes – such as Thomas Grandi and JP Roy – the opportunity to compete on home turf in anticipation of 2010."
Matt Mosteller, senior director of business development for Resorts of the Canadian Rockies acknowledged the revival of technical race events at Lake Louise and confirmed RCR's commitment to winter sport in the Rockies.
"RCR supports Alpine Canada's Podium plan for 2010 and RCR is committed to getting kids involved in the sport of skiing and enjoyment of the benefit of skiing and the healthy lifestyle it provides. RCR and our resorts of Fernie Alpine Resort, Kimberley Alpine Resort and Nakiska, host events from Nancy Green to World Cup downhill's. It is a true testament of support by the RCR Team as we see the benefits that the youth of Canada receive from the sport of skiing- health, fun, teamwork, development of individual strength and quality family time," concluded Mosteller.
Alpine Canada Alpin Race Quality Coordinator, Bruce Hamstead, explains that there is a multi- stage process that must be facilitated in order for FIS to approve the GS race at Lake Louise.
"The test event at Lake Louise is running smoothly, with tremendous volunteer, hill and club support. Banff Alpine Racers (BAR) have been successful at organizing and running this important series and we are 'cautiously optimistic' Lake Louise will be the host of a men's giant slalom this upcoming 2005/2006 season," confirmed Hamstead.
Lake Louise hasn't hosted a World Cup technical race since 1991. The last World Cup scheduled technical race held in Canada was a men's slalom in Stoneham (QC) in 1993. The last World Cup giant slalom race held in Canada was in 1991 at Lake Louise for the women.

Comments about The North Face Wheeled Thunder Duffel - 20'':
I was looking to replace an old Victorinox bag that has seen better days (handle has issues, wear/tear, etc) - its about 10 years old, and I travel a lot and beat the heck out of the bag.
I was hoping that this could be a very nice minimalist replacement - but two things led me to return it (didn't suit my purpose): 1) when the bag is fully loaded, the zippers are very difficult to operate (the most difficult zippers I've tried using); 2) the size isn't quite what's claimed, so it doesn't hold as much as I'd like (which, is why I found the bag to be stuffed and the zippers hard to operate).
The bag has very little structure, which can be fine. However, combined with the zipper design, the zipper was a real problem. Most zippers either lie flat, or are attached to the edges and zip the 2 edges together. This zipper does neither -- its at an odd angle and pulls against the bag strangely when loaded making it difficult to operate. If TNF changes the design to something that doesn't suffer this problem, I'd consider the bag again at that time.
I measured the bag out at only 19"x14"x8" (not the claimed 20"x14"x9"). That makes just enough difference for me to keep searching for alternatives (28 cu in. is nothing to sneeze at, especially at the end of a trip, who doesn't sometimes come home with more or have trouble fitting it all in again).
The handle is very long, I thought I could live with that. I do like the unusual side release button. And, the handle is easy to grab, you can grab it when its in the closed/lock position (unlike most where you can't fit your hand around and have to push the button to deploy partially before grabbing it) - so you can pull it out of bins/etc by the extendable handle, while locked in place, which I thought was very nice.

This is a superior carry-on bag. It's minimalist, thus presumably considered a "wheeled duffel" by REI, but it's about perfect for modern (smaller) aircraft (from tight 757 to dreaded Canadair 900 overhead compartments). I've replaced my beloved Travel Pro 21" carry-on with this because it's smaller, simpler and TP was often tight in many newer planes. As a previous review said, it's got a long handle, which being > 6'5" I love! Wheels, zippers, material, are all exquisite quality... actually better than I've come to expect from NorthFace. The only thing I sort of dislike is the text on the handle that reads something like "Dare to Explore" or some such thing. Seems hokey. Anyway, this is a real nice and simple 1-2 night bag that fits overhead better than standard carry-ons. Enjoy.

Comments about The North Face Wheeled Thunder Duffel - 20'':
First review, I've had this for a few months.
To give kind of a overview of how I travail on planes, I usually take 3 bag. 2 carry on, a Backpack that has anything I might need on the plane, or where ever I/we might be going(camera bag, jacket, laptop, food, etc. etc.) and a smaller suitcase, that houses all of (or most of depending on the trip) my clothes, dopkit, day pack, what ever. And 1 check-in bag, that has some of my fun stuff, equipment, other clothing I wont need for a few days, etc.
The first trip I took this bag on, was a 5 day photo shoot/adventure in the desert. Going through a couple of airports, and long car rides.
This thing handled amazingly. The construction is great, the "handling" if you will, is very good, no issues with it not wanting to fallow you. The material is great, feels rain and bullet proof. I don't say that lightly, I am the kind of person to get everything wet, no matter where I am, even the desert(I don't know how the heck this happens, but it does). I am a very rough'n'tumble kind of guy, I try to take good care of my stuff, but I also use it. Thoroughly. The side handles came in use very often, I bought the floor model (cause it was the last one they had here, and I needed it right then) so mine did not come with the "External compression straps" that is says it comes with. I'm fine with that, I make allot of my stuff anyway. The little loops all around the side of the bag seem like Molle, so one might be able to add flashlight pouches or what ever one desires, but for the sake of going fast through small places I did not add anything to the loops. Compressing the bag does is not entirely needed, its fine without it, but it is nice to have the straps to tie things down to. This bag held everything I needed, I even through my Osprey Manta20 daypack(empty)in it with everything else. It was a tight fit, but it fit. Going back to the build, the skate wheels are great, work nice for going of curbs, or just on carpet. The frame is well built, very sturdy. There are compression straps inside, that are nice, the zipper "shirt pocket" is handy. The see through ID pocket on the underside of the bag is also nice, not so much for keeping true ID, but luggage tags yes. The handle's poles feel like what would be a ice ax handle(which I think is awesome!), they make the sturdiest handle on a suitcase I've ever seen, and add a good frame for throwing other bags on top.
There is one drawback, that may be bad for some people. If you are short, you might not like this bag very much. If your tall, all the better. The handles awesome iceax style frame is very long. This adds some ability to tie on what ever the heck you can think of, but can make walking around with this thing not so fun for some. I'm 5'9", I have no problems with it, but I'd say if your under 5'6", or have monkey arms, you might want to walk around with it a few times before you take it around the world. Just something to consider, I believe it was part of the design, I actually like it quite a bit, but others may not.
Overall, a fantastic "Rolling Duffel"(I hate that this is in that section, it should be in carry-on, could make it hard for people to find), very spartan in design, no crazy kangaroo pockets that will get destroyed, no cheaply placed zippers, no bad wheel system, nothing that has popped out so far. I would definitely travail with this again, and again, and again. I have a feeling this is going to be one of those things you have for 20years, and look back on going "Wow, I'm glad I found this!"

Rosenbauer America recently received the 500th order for its Commander chassis from the Greenwood Volunteer Fire Company in Sussex County, Del. About 350 units were exported while the rest were purchased by U.S. departments, said Donley Frederickson, Rosenbauer's national sales manager. The milestone was achieved in the same year that the Commander custom chassis was introduced to the fire service after customers complained about problems in other existing chassis on the market, Frederickson said.
"Fire chiefs and first responders wanted improvements, for example heat on the floor in the cab for those in cold areas and more room for the driver and the captain," he said.
The 109-foot Viper EXT rear-mount aerial for Greenwood will be built on an R600 Commander chassis with a Cummins ISX12 500 HP engine. The R600 Commander cab will include seating for six fire firefighters, a low-engine tunnel and a flat-floor in the crew area. It also will have an EXT 3/16" extruded aluminum body that carries a lifetime transferable warranty and the patent-pending Rosenbauer Green Star Idle Reduction Technology, Frederickson said. The 109' aerial ladder will undergo the company's hot-dip galvanizing process and then be painted black for aerial corrosion protection. The aerial will be equipped with the company's SMART Aerial Controls.
