Over the years, glycolic acid has become known for its skin care benefits – and for good reason. Skin care products that are formulated with the smallest member of the alpha hydroxyl acid family can help to revive and brighten the appearance of dull, tired-looking skin. This fruit acid, which is derived from sugar cane, can also help to even out the appearance of skin discoloration and other visible signs of skin aging like fine lines and wrinkles too.
While some skin care ingredients may be specifically linked to one kind of skin care product, glycolic acid can work well in many different kinds of formulas. When a cleanser, exfoliator or moisturizer is formulated with glycolic acid, it helps visibly refine the top, outer layer of your skin's surface. Over time, our skin should naturally shed dead surface skin cells; however, when layer after layer of those dead skin cells pile atop your skin's surface, your skin can appear dull-looking and tired. Skin care products that are formulated with glycolic acid can help to smooth out the appearance of the top layer of your skin, helping reveal the look of an even, radiant complexion underneath. Encourage the look of a natural glow with the help of glycolic acid skin care products. Here, find some products that might be the best fit for you and your skin care needs.
Exfoliate with glycolic acid. When applied to your skin, glycolic acid can help exfoliate by allowing the chemical "sloughing off" of dead skin cells. That is why you may see glycolic acid in the formulas of many chemical exfoliants. Chemical exfoliation offers a gentle way to slough away dead cells. Renewing the appearance of your skin with chemical exfoliation is achieved when you apply a product formulated with an AHA to your skin's surface layer; it can help remove some of the dead skin cells that have collected there. When formulated into a chemical exfoliant, glycolic acid can help dissolve away that build up to reveal the appearance of a smoother, brighter-looking complexion. Typically, exfoliating two to three times a week is an effective way to keep your skin looking smooth and fresh; however, some glycolic acid peel pads may be gentle enough to use on a daily basis. Always remember to check the product packaging to ensure that you are suing the product as designed.
Cleanse with glycolic acid. Dead skin cell build-up can also mix with makeup, dirt and excess oil. When the surface of your skin is congested with this debris, it can appear dull, dry and lackluster – and even become more prone to breakouts too. Glycolic acid can help break down that buildup of dead skin cells on the surface of your skin so that it can appear fresh and bright. Unlocked skin cells can leave your skin looking renewed and clarified. When you wash your face with a cleanser formulated with glycolic acid, you can help slough away some surface buildup. Consider washing your face with a cleanser formulated with glycolic acid in the morning to ramp up the look of your skin's radiance throughout the day, or at night after removing your makeup to help wash away excess oil, dirt and help slough off dead skin cells from your skin's surface.
Moisturize with glycolic acid. Some day and night creams that are formulated with glycolic acid can help moisturize the skin, and can also provide some anti-aging skin care benefits at the same time. The derivative of cane sugar, can help improve the look of your surface skin's texture by sloughing away dead surface cells that can make visible lines appear more noticeable. Glycolic acid can also help your skin maintain moisture–and when your skin is hydrated, visible fine lines and wrinkles can appear less noticeable. Apply your day or nighttime moisturizer formulated with glycolic acid to clean skin.
Encourage the look of smooth, radiant skin with the help of products formulated with glycolic acid. And protect your refined complexion with SPF formulated with broad spectrum protection daily as your skin may more sensitive to the sun after using glycolic acid products. Whether you chose to exfoliate, cleanse, or moisturize with products formulated with glycolic acid, know that you are getting one step closer to the appearance of an even, fresh, and bright-looking complexion.

Managing the Mega Project and Why Big Installs Aren't for Everyone
Denver-based Logic Integration, which made a name for itself with its design and integration of a "luxury missile silo" MDU residence last year, has completed projects from 20,000 to nearly 30,000 square feet, with $600,000 to $1.5 million in AV. Isaac Moyle, VP of operations for the integrator, agreed that planning and communication are critical to both maintaining proper cash flow and managing a schedule that lasts for months. Each custom integration company in the industry has its own definition of what it means to work on a "mega project." In one market, for a one-man-band company, $100,000 of AV might be noteworthy. In another market, a veteran company might take notice only when an AV budget hits seven digits.
However you define the biggest project of the year (or perhaps the last five years), these endeavors offer equal parts risk and reward for CI owners. For a well-prepared company, the rewards can be a financial windfall, with media acclaim and pride. But, for a custom integrator that bites off more than he or she can chew, the risks are cash flow deficiencies, a devastated reputation, and even bankruptcy.
The most successful integration companies never shy away from mega projects, because they have learned how to manage them appropriately and reap their rewards. In this case, size does usually matter, for proper staffing is one of the keys to staying on top of projects of such large scale.
"Our size helps us handle these larger projects with relative ease," said John Clancy, executive VP and CTO of ACS, which was founded as Audio Command Systems 35 years ago by CEO Robert Kaufman, now with offices in New York, California, and Florida.
According to Clancy, ACS has successfully completed projects in homes larger than 85,000 square feet and is currently working on closing the sale of a new system for a 100,000-square-foot home. He says that the electronics room and the infrastructure are the most amazing features of these projects.
"Quite often, we are asking for electronics rooms similar to IT server rooms with dedicated power, cooling, and raised floors that contain the low-voltage cabling," he explained.
The low-voltage wire on these projects is typically measured in miles. "We are in the midst of a project now on over nine acres with multiple buildings all linked via fiber-optic cabling," Clancy explained. "This is what is most unique about these types of projects. The individual rooms are somewhat typical, albeit larger, but contain the normal equipment, just as a whole a lot more both in quantity of rooms and the amount of equipment."
Logic Integration has applied many "commercial integration" principles to the way it handles residential systems like this one. For example, the company always meets with its electrical contractor early on in the project. The "discreet disciplines" that ACS has in place, he explained, allow his company to compartmentalize the various types of labor required for a mega project and to push through the sometimes overwhelming amount of design/CAD work, programming, and installation labor required.
"The overall dollar volume we sell per year also helps us handle the cash flow of a two- to three-year $2- to $5-million project," Clancy noted. "Obviously staying on top of our billing so we don't ever fall behind is important. Good project management and communication, both internal and with the other trades and professionals involved, is also key.
Custom Theater and Audio co-owner John Sciacca, who chronicled the challenges of managing a 21,500-square-foot/$600,000 Myrtle Beach, SC, project, in an article series on www.residentialsystems.com, said that his company was up front with that project's builder from the beginning, establishing what they would need from a budget standpoint to keep the project on track.
"We told them very frankly that for a job this size, the product orders would exceed our credit limits with our manufacturer partners, that we just didn't have the cash flow to 'front' these kinds of purchases, and we wouldn't be able to order product until the deposits were received on schedule."
According to John Clancy, executive VP and CTO of ACS in the New York area, quite often his company is asked for electronics rooms similar to IT server rooms with dedicated power, cooling, and raised floors that contain the low-voltage cabling. When Sciacca's company received a payment on this mega project, it immediately ordered and paid in full all of the equipment needed. This insured that the money didn't "bleed out" to something else and that it was able to take advantage of any prompt pay terms, Sciacca noted.
To stay on schedule, Sciacca blocked out days each week where he would have a crew go to the job. He also brought in extra help for some of the "grunt work."
"On a mega-job, there is always something that can be done, so we constantly blocked off days to go there, and any time there was a hole in the schedule, we would go there," he said.
By the time it was complete, Custom Theater and Audio's mega project featured seven separate racks, one 42U rack in the main distribution area, five 18U racks (one located in each bedroom), and a 30U slide-out rack in the media room.
"I made a decision early on to decentralize the system, so it would be easier to service and support and upgrade later on as the client wanted to," Sciacca said. "This project used over nine miles of cabling, including 112 wired Ethernet ports, and 26 video cameras. It also features a massive Lutron HomeWorks system with over 300 lighting loads and automated drapery control."
Sciacca believes that documentation–especially of the network–is "beyond crucial" on a project of this size.
"You need to know what every wire is, where it is plugged in and what it is connected to," he stated. "For instance, what is on Port 4 of the switch on the other side of the house? Which amp channel does the porch far left speaker connect to? And, unless you are truly a network expert, you will want to work with a company that can offer you outstanding backend support, Sciacca advised. "We probably spent 40 hours on the phone with Pakedge where they helped us iron out, configure, and troubleshoot networking issues," he added. "I think that decentralizing the system was a huge benefit, and I would definitely repeat that if possible. I would also try to do a better job of estimating the labor, as everything seemed to take about 25 percent longer than I thought it would."
John Polk, owner of Audio Video Guys in Houston, TX, is in the construction phase of a project featuring 12,760 feet of wire (not including the extensive boat house and pool area), four racks (one just for the Trump Tower- Panama-inspired grand entry "art light" installation's controllers and RGB LED drivers), and multiple 90-inch TVs. Because the company works exclusively on retrofits and remodels, it rarely experiences mega projects like this one, but Polk said he was lucky to be able to bill this one project as a time and materials project. "We don't have to manage change orders," he said. "We bill labor as performed (monthly) and collect 50 percent deposits on equipment before ordering."
Polk has learned that especially on larger projects that one should never work with an architect that still only does "hand drawings," and he's found it beneficial to go to every meeting, even when there is no reference to his part of the project. Also, he plans on travel time and includes it in project management fees.
"On a 'mega' project, all the trades collect a PM fee," he said. "There are too many meetings and 'emergency' decisions that happen, to not bill for the time."
Denver-based Logic Integration, which made a name for itself in the custom world with its design and integration of a "luxury missile silo" MDU residence last year, has completed projects from 20,000 to nearly 30,000 square feet, with $600,000 to $1.5 million in AV. Isaac Moyle, VP of operations for the integrator, agreed that planning and communication are critical to both maintaining proper cash flow and managing a schedule that lasts for months.
"To successfully execute a mega integration, you have to plan, plan, plan," he stated. "If you do not plan every aspect of the project, you will fail. This even includes the timing of payments from the client."
Logic Integration has applied many of "commercial integration" principles to the way it handles residential systems. For example, the company always meets with its electrical contractor early on in the project.
Moyle also concurred with Sciacca that most integration companies don't have the flexibility to front the money for ordering materials for a mega project client, therefore, it needs to ensure payments are collected prior to each stage of the project.
And, in addition to the "tangible benefit" from a large infusion of cash for mega projects, even more important, he said, is the company's morale and sense of accomplishment when every person has touched a part of the mega project.
"A lot of man-hours, planning, and meetings go into mega projects," he offered. "The publicity is another benefit to successfully completing a mega project."
Audio Video Guys in Houston, TX, is in the construction phase of a project featuring 12,760 feet of wire, and four racks. One rack is just for the Trump Tower-Panama-inspired grand entry "art light" installation's controllers and RGB LED drivers pictured here. Sciacca echoed Moyle, stating the primary benefit is more money, but that mega jobs are also very rewarding professionally.
"At the end of the job, our entire crew had an enormous sense of pride over what we accomplished and how awesome the system was," he said. "It's the kind of job that you want to tell people about. Also, the mega-jobs allow you to use the types of gear that you really want to use where you aren't constrained by budget. It was fun to be able to install the kind of gear–Sony 4K projector, 11.2-channel Monitor Audio Platinum speakers, 144-inch curved acoustically transparent screen, Kaleidescape, 20-plus zones of audio, video intercom over touchscreens–that you would love to have in your own home."
Of course, a the pitfall, Sciacca pointed out, is that there is a "ton of stress" involved, and "the customer feels like they own you."
"If they call, you need to answer and come," he said. "I've been to the house on Sunday and after-hours a few times. Also, on a project this large, if something did go wrong, it could be a company-ending failure. The types of clients that can drop this amount of money on an entertainment system are also the type that could sue you out of business. Also, it is going to take far more labor than you anticipate. There are just so many things that you won't have imagined, that the labor will likely (far) exceed your estimate. For example, I spent over an hour each day just walking around this house getting to different areas or trying to find someone."
Clancy believes that the biggest benefit to tackling mega projects is the experience gained from working on them. "It's really helped us handle the mid-size and smaller projects with better efficiency and utilize the disciplines required on large projects for projects of all size," he stated. "We've done dozens of these over the years, and since our first, we've learned a lot and made sure that what we do on the largest projects gets implemented on all of our projects."
In his market, bidding on projects of this scale is highly competitive. "Often we are one of five or so bidders on these, and the temptation to cut corners to reduce pricing to win the project is there," he pointed out. "We've lost bids on these projects at times to companies who've done this, so lowering our price to win a job like these is a huge mistake. Also what we've witnessed on some of the bids we've lost, are projects that are awarded based solely on price alone and not qualifications. We have taken over more than a few of these projects after losing the initial bid. It's not easy for a smaller company to handle these projects that sometimes require immense resources to complete and service beyond installation."
Moyle agreed that mega projects can be "resource hogs" that, if not managed well, could put a company out of business. However, he added, "The benefits far outweigh the pitfalls."

Jay Glazer of Fox Sports reports that the St Louis Rams have made the decision to fire head coach Steve Spagnuolo following a 2-14 season.
There were reports last night that suggests the move was coming and Spagnuolo's 10-38 record was certainly bad enough to justify the move.

For the sake of argument, let's give Bungie the benefit of the doubt, and assume that a first-person shooter raid requiring multiple roles and puzzle solving won't be barftastic and you'll want to play it.
They've decided to forgo public matchmaking, and only permit gamers on your friends list to accompany you. Bungie's reasoning is that these dungeons crawls will require intricate teamwork, and that an uncoordinated pickup group would result in a less than ideal gaming experience.
Well, yes, DUH. However, aggregating enough buddies at the same time on the same game can be something of a logistical nightmare, particularly when we're talking about under proliferated next-gen consoles. The snarky response is, "Be more social." But simply adding randoms to your friends list is equivalent to public matchmaking, only with substantially greater hassle. Why not just allow public groups, and leave it to players to selectively add competent teammates to friends lists for future runs?

I went through the 2014-2015 calendar yesterday and it's full. Every day is now scheduled for the coming year. I was able to carve out some time for 20% Time/20-Time/Genius Hour/Be-About-It...or whatever it's being called this month, but after doing the math, it's really only about 16% Time, and it's an optional practice as a replacement for the research paper. Students will have the choice to complete the traditional British Literature literary analysis essay, or they can choose the 20% Project. I'm hoping this will let everyone do what they want (some people like literary analysis, right?) but as always I'm concerned I'm not really giving the 20% Time Project it's full measure. But again, the schedule is full. It's July, and there's not a single open day between now and May 29.
It's times like this I'm always curious how other people at other districts do it. How can truly give 20% of time for a non-curricular project, while still meeting all the standards? How can they have days where students just learn about learning, or talk about learning, and not moving forward on the required content? How can people spend a month on a single Romeo and Juliet project? These are all noble goals, but where do they fit? As it stands now, anything that gets added to my class comes at the expense of something else. More reading could be done at home, yes, but how much of it will actually get done? And honestly, English seems like the class that should worry least about scope and sequence. Unlike Math, Science, or History, we aren't really cumulative. Skills do build on each other, but it's not essential that you read Beowulf before getting to Macbeth. Both will still work on their own.
Regardless, the struggle will continue. The balance between classics and non-fiction, novels and snippets, and units v. skills will surely continue for the foreseeable future. The trick will be to focus on the positive while continually trying to make room for everything.

The Back of the Book (from Amazon): Have you ever wondered why everybody these days seems so busy? In FINDING SANCTUARY, Father Christopher Jamison, the Abbot from BBC TV's THE MONASTERY and THE SILENCE, offers practical wisdom from the monastic tradition on how to build sanctuary into your life. No matter how hard you work, being too busy is not inevitable. Silence and contemplation are not just for monks and nuns, they are natural parts of life. Yet to keep hold of this truth in the rush of modern living you need the support of other people and sensible advice from wise guides. By learning to listen in new ways, people's lives can change and the abbot offers some monastic steps that help this transition to a more spiritual life. In the face of many easy assumptions about the irrelevance of religion today, Father Christopher makes religion accessible for those in search of life's meaning and offers a vision of the world's religions working together as a unique source of hope for the 21st century.
NotJustLaura's Review: I only saw a few glimpses of The Monastery when it was on TV and although I went out and bought the book, it lay ignored for a long, long time. I finally picked it up a few days ago in my quest to find out about Benedictine spirituality and I'm so glad I did.
Using the metaphor of creating a 'room' to use as a sanctuary, Abbot Jamison has crafted a very special book. The reader begins at the door to their sanctuary – virtue – and progresses through the stages of building flooring, walls, windows and roof each of which is a quality of monastic life presented in a form suitable for everyday living in the world or, indeed, in a monastery.
Each chapter includes some of Abbot Jamison's philosophy, relevant contributions from the desert fathers (and mothers), examples of how the ideas might be applied to the reader's life and a short section of further reading which usually includes a website as well as paper books.
I found this a really useful, down-to-earth look at the Rule of St Benedict and am looking forward to making my own Sanctuary in the weeks and months ahead.

Most people have had unfortunate experiences in low-quality hotels. This can be a costly mistake that should not be made more than once. Fortunately, the below article provides solid advice on how to ensure you book the best possible hotel room at the best possible price.
Check online reviews before booking a room. These reviews can give you a customer's perspective of the hotel you are planning on staying at. These reviews can help you decide which hotel you should select.
Before you choose a hotel and make reservations, check online review sites, such as TripAdvisor. These websites have reviews and comments from people who have recent experience with their stay. Other customers can give you some valuable insight and help you choose the right place to stay.
Online travel sites like Expedia or Orbitz can help you get the best price for rooms at the hotel you would like to stay at. Always remember to give your loyalty program information to the clerk when you book your room or search for prices. Find out if you can get a discount for being an AAA or AARP member, too.
Use travel websites to find the most competitive prices for hotel chains online. When making hotel reservations, be sure to include information regarding hotel loyalty programs in which you may hold membership. Find out if you can get a discount for being an AAA or AARP member, too.
Use the closet safe to protect your electronics. Anything of value can be securely locked in the safe, then you won't have to worry about your valuables while out enjoying yourself for the day.
Room service can be a great way to have a private, comfortable meal. Sure, it might cost a bit more, but it is completely worth it to be able to kick back and relax, while your food comes to you.
You can use hotel search tools on the Internet. These websites can help you quickly find the best value. They can provide you with an idea of the average rate charged by each hotel, so you will have a good idea as to whether or not the deal you are being offered is good. In addition, these tools can help you determine the best time to go on vacation and the things that you can do there.
Take advantage of the safe you have in your room, especially if you have electronics with you. You can place your costly items that are small into their safe, and then you won't have to worry about these things as you go out.
Search for the best deals in hotels online before making reservations. A lot of the time, when you book a room with someone, they'll tell you there aren't any online discounts. It is your responsibility to scour the Internet for these savings. Look at Jetsetter, RueLaLaTravel or similar websites for discounts.
Look for deals online. In a lot of cases, the person booking your room isn't going to tell you about online discounts. That's why it's always your duty to search the web for better deals whenever you are booking a hotel room. RueLaLaTravel, SniqueAway and Jetsetter are all good Internet sites to check with.
When get to your hotel, inspect the room before unpacking. Is the room clean and free from mildew or mold? Are the toilet, shower and sink functioning properly? Are there enough linens and towels? Call the front desk if you find any issues; they can either fix the problem or give you a different room.
If you and a loved one are wanting to go to a hotel and get massages, it is important that you book the appointment way in advance. The best professionals are often in high demand, so get in while you can.
Plan your trip in advance for the best rates. If you chose to book a month or even two ahead of your arrival date, you can get great discounts. Doing this could save you up to 50 percent off your room, and this holds true with the more elite brands as well.
If you belong to AAA, see what kinds of discounts the hotel offers. AAA members actually receive hotel discounts at specific hotel chains! There are discounts at hotels around the country of 5 percent or more. These savings can really add up if you travel often.
Are you a AAA member? If so, hotels may provide you a discount. You may not know that your membership to the auto club includes discounts on hotels. There are discounts at hotels around the country of 5 percent or more. It really is a savings that adds up over time.
If you travel frequently, you can maximize your hotel benefits by looking into reward programs from large hotel chains. This allows you to get more points with each stay that you can convert into free rooms and other benefits on your next family vacation.
If you are a daily runner, make sure you pack exercise clothes and a GPS watch. You can still enjoy your early morning jog while on vacation if you have your gear and the right room booked. Even if you're running down the city streets of roads, it will give you a new perspective of the city that you're visiting.
Being a member of AAA can save you money on hotels. People who are AAA members receive discounts at many hotel chains. In addition, having a AAA membership will make it easier to get a rental car when it's needed. In addition, parents may enjoy the benefit of having free car seats provided.
Timing matters when booking a hotel room. The prices are based partly on availability. When possible, you can often get a good price if you book a room at the very last minute. This will get you a great price on your room. Empty rooms earn no money, so the hotels often slash the prices.
Never use the hotel phone for long distance calls. Try using the Internet instead to stay in touch. A lot of hotels offer Skype connections over Wi-Fi. This saves you a ton of money.
To avoid major expenses on your final hotel bill, be sure to ask the sales representative about the price of hotel transfers first. It is not uncommon to find that greatly discounted bookings may have a hidden cost for the transfer. You will save more by asking about such a thing in advance.
Call ahead to your hotels to make certain the swimming pools are ready for your kids. There is nothing worse than getting to a hotel with kids to find the pool is closed.
Join the hotel's membership program if you frequently stay there on business trips. This allows you to earn point you can redeem for vacation freebies for you and your family.
Smoking Hotel
Do not make long distance calls from your hotel room. Make use of the Internet, instead. Some hotels offer free Wi-Fi, so you can use Skype. Take advantage of these options to keep in touch with family, friends and coworkers rather than incurring high costs by using the hotel's phone system.
See if the hotel is non-smoking or smoking. If you are a non-smoker, you might want to stay at a non-smoking hotel. Even in a non-smoking room, the smoke from other rooms is in the air and might infiltrate your clothing. Even if a room is designated as nonsmoking, sometimes people smoke in there anyway. If you don't want to smell like cigarettes after leaving your hotel room, you might want to look for a non-smoking hotel.
If you are going to inspect if your hotel room has bed bugs, then start looking in the bathroom. This is usually one of the few places you won't see any. That means your luggage will be safe there while you check out the other areas of the room. If you have pets or children with you, ask them to wait in the bathroom too.
Find out how the hotel handles pets. If you fear pets or have allergies it may be best to make reservations at hotels that have a strict no pets policy. These hotels might also suffer from odors sinking into the floor and bed linens. Some hotels add an extra charge for pets, other do not. It might not cover deep cleaning.
If a crib or a rollaway bed is necessary for your stay, let your booking agent know. They may not have any available. In addition, there is sometimes an extra charge for these items. Talk about what you need when booking your room so you are not unpleasantly surprised.
It may come as a shock to you, but most hotels don't allow you to check-in early. Therefore, don't show up hours in advance, or you may be sitting around waiting for a while. The room must be cleaned and prepared so the next guest can check in. If you do happen to arrive early, check with the desk to see if you can check in, but don't expect that request to be honored.
If you can, avoid checking out before the day you are scheduled to. If you do, then you could be charged an extra departure fee for early checkout. Booked hotel rooms are taken off the market, so if you leave early, the hotel loses money. To earn back this money they will lose, they charge you an additional departure fee.
If you are a parent who needs a roll-away or a crib in their hotel room, then you'll need to call prior to making your reservation and find out if they are available. Some hotels have these in short supply. Sometimes, there is an additional charge for these items. Discuss these needs when making your reservation to avoid any unpleasant surprises.
If you are concerned about good hygiene, do not use the bedspread given to you by the hotel. Sheets and blankets are washed regularly, while bedspreads usually aren't. The bedspread can be laden with germs. Take the bedspread off of the bed.
Some people choose not to use the bedspreads provided by the hotel staff for hygienic reasons. While sheets and linens are always washed, the topmost bedspread may not be, depending on the hotel policy. As a result, the bedspread will likely contain all kinds of germs and bacteria. For your health's sake, remove the bedspread.
You can save money when traveling by booking your hotel and flight together. A lot of travel websites provide significant savings for people who reserve a hotel and a rental car or flight from them. In order to make sure you're getting the best deal, make sure you do a few comparisons.
You can save quite a bit on your next vacation when you choose to bundle your hotel room and flight. Use a travel site that has package deals, which include hotel, flight, and rental car. Make sure you do your research, though, to ensure you are getting a good deal.
You can save money by not booking a hotel room during tourist season. Hotel rates are very high during tourist season. Try booking a room when it's harder for hotels to fill rooms, like during the off-season. You will normally receive a discounted rate.
To get the best rate on your hotel room, never book while the very peak of tourist season is in full swing. This is the time that hotel rates are at their highest. Book your rooms at a time when the hotel is off-season and they're desperate to attract new guests. This puts you in a position with leverage, which helps you get a better deal for the room in question.
If you need to book a room while driving, check rest areas, gas stations and tourist centers for complimentary tourists books which contain hotel prices, maps and great discounts. This will give you the opportunity to call for a room, instead of driving around for hours trying to get the best deal.
Nobody wants to stay at a bad hotel. Cheap prices aren't worth bad experiences. Your vacation will be a failure. Use these tips to locate the best hotel for you. Once you find a hotel that you like, you'll need to locate all of the discounts available online to truly make it a great trip.
Always remember to tip. As an example, room service tips are generally added into the bill, but maid service, on the other hand, is not. Good tipping means you get better service on future stays or additional nights.

A North Tyneside-headquartered pharmaceutical manufacturer which was acquired last year has doubled profits and edged sales towards the £40m mark, leaving it in a strong position to implement its growth strategy.
The company is also benefitting from the significant sales potential of a number of new products currently under development and a portfolio of opportunities being pursued.
Sterling Pharma Solutions specialises in contracts research and contract manufacturing for the industry, employing a workforce of about 330.
It was formerly known as Shasun Pharma Solutions but was renamed after the completion of a management buyout late last year.
For the year to 31 March 2017, the company reported turnover of £37.9m compared to £31.9m the previous 12 months.
Pre-tax profits were also up from £1.28m to £2.45m.
In a strategic report accompanying the results, Sterling Pharma attributed both its sales and profit improvements to the "successful execution of a clear business strategy".
"SPSL continued to have excellent market traction, with all commercial performance indicators being exceeded in the year," it said.
"Investment in research and development activity in 2016/17 continued at an above industry level, with a clear focus on developing processes ready for commercialisation in 2017/18.
"The company has continued to diversify both the customer and product base and has established a strong launched pre-launched pipeline, which currently comprises 33 launched products, 11 products in phase three development, 17 in phase two development and 11 in phase one."
Sterling Pharma said that based upon its current order position, the "significant" sales potential of a number of new products under development and the large portfolio of new business opportunities being pursued, the directors are "confident that the company can deliver on its long-term growth strategy to increase sales and profitability".

Several themes exist:
The Notorious Ninth Trail
Follow the footsteps of the 9th U.S. Infantry Division from the French border to the Meuse river. This tour lasts a whole day and covers about 150 km.
Clashes in the Air
The region was the sad witness of numerous air battles. Still today, numbers of monuments are spread out in the 'Entre-Sambre-et-Meuse' to remember these airmen, from any nations, who fought in the air. Several tours exist and one tour lasts for a whole day. Distance will depend on the theme.
Where it all began
May 10th, 1940 remains a date marked in the memory of the Belgians as when the Nazis have invaded Belgium. Discover the history of the invasion in the region of Chimay-Momignies, right on the spot. This tour lasts a whole day and covers about 75 km.

What Is the Benefit of Olive Butter for Skin Care?
Since ancient times, olives have been recognized as a health benefit. According to the Olive Source website, Prophet Muhammad [SM] of Islam would advise his followers to apply the olives' pressed oils to their skin. Olive butter, the emulsified version of olive oil, is effective as a natural remedy.
Olive butter contains fatty acids, antioxidants and other compounds proven to moisturize and restore the skin--everything from chapped lips to ashy knees. It also acts as a restorative to dry and/or damaged hair. Let it soak into your strands for 30 minutes, then shampoo and condition as you normally would.
Mixed with an equal amount of household vinegar, olive butter can help to lighten spots of skin discoloration. The butter has also been known to mollify fine lines and wrinkles. In the case of sunburn, apply olive butter directly after exposure to reduce the damages.
Because of olive butter's texture, it spreads easily making it an ideal massage "oil." In light of its moisturizing benefits to the skin, it is a better choice than some traditional massage oils containing less skin-nourishing ingredients.

Coal house conversion to utility
Changed a coal house to a utility room nearly 35 years ago. Originally the coal house was only connected to the house by an arched single brick wall. So the access was open to weather. I roofed the coal house, added 2 doors and did some brickwork. Very little. I knocked down 2 internal walls. Would I have required any permissions at that time and would I need them now? Still single brick. Looking to sell.

This Witch Hunt Has Put Us Behind Ex-Soviet States on Press Freedom - Trevor Kavanagh - the Sun
It is a piece positively dripping with righteous indignation that the police should have had the temerity to enter the homes of five of his journalists to arrest them and conduct searches:
Witch-hunt has put us behind
ex-Soviet states
on Press freedom
The Sun's Trevor Kavanagh on
the biggest police operation
in British criminal history
'They are subjects of the biggest police operation in British criminal history — bigger even than the Pan Am Lockerbie murder probe.
Major crime investigations are on hold as 171 police are drafted in to run three separate operations.
In one raid, two officers revealed they had been pulled off an elite 11-man anti-terror squad trying to protect the Olympics from a mass suicide attack.
Instead of being called in for questioning, 30 journalists have been needlessly dragged from their beds in dawn raids, arrested and held in police cells while their homes are ransacked.'
Anyone remotely familiar with the Sun's penchant for hyperbole and misplaced outrage will instantly recognise the style. Hurt, he is. Mr. Kavanagh is deeply hurt. He continues:
'Wives and children have been humiliated as up to 20 officers at a time rip up floorboards and sift through intimate possessions, love letters and entirely private documents.'That, Mr. Kavanagh, is the traditional modus operandi for the police when making surprise visits to premises where material may be found to substantiate documents they have already had provided to them - in this case by the Sun's parent company, News International. Mr. Kavanagh should be welll aware of these tactics - after all, whose paper has been known to arrive at premises about to be raided almost at the same moment as the Police?
From the Telegraph, 1st February 2012:
'Giving evidence in his defence on day eight of the trial, the Tottenham Hotspur manager said that the 6am police raid, in November 2007, was conducted while he was away.He was actually returning from a match in Germany, and police at his house were accompanied by photographers from The Sun."It absolutely terrified my wife, who was there on her own. My wife was in a terrible state. They jammed the alarm on. She thought there was burglars and she was hysterical," Redknapp said."Eventually she opened the gates and police came in with photographers alongside them. My wife thought I had been killed in a plane crash... there were pictures of my wife and house."Redknapp said he had never received an explanation why photographers were tipped off about the raid.
Seeking to persuade his readers of the enormous injustice done to his staff and to encourage the Sun's emotions of choice, rage and fury, Mr Kavanagh changes tack slightly to appeal to our more moral sensitivities (undoubtedly inculcated in us by the Sun over the years) thus:
'It is important that we do not jump to conclusions.That exhortation will have caused many a reader to choke on their morning tea or coffee. After all, this is this morning's Sun front page:
Nobody has been charged with any offence, still less tried or convicted.'
Mr. Kavanagh adds an interesting piece of data to his evidence of draconian treatment of his staff:
'Is it any surprise that Britain has dropped nine places to 28th, behind ex-Soviet bloc states Poland, Estonia and Slovakia, in the international Freedom of Speech league table?'The table mentioned by Mr. Kavanagh can be found here in the Mail Online. Fascinating stuff! Britain 28th in a Reporters Without Borders (RWB) table of 179 countries...... What is extremely interesting is that of the 27 countries above Great Britain,
1. Finland and Norway
3. Estonia and the Netherlands
5. Austria
6. Iceland and Luxembourg
8. Switzerland
9. Cape Verde
10. Canada and Denmark
12. Sweden
13. New Zealand
14. Czech Republic
15. Ireland
16. Cyprus, Jamaica and Germany
19. Costa Rica
20. Belgium and Namibia
22. Japan and Surinam
24. Poland
25. Mali, OECS and Slovakia
28. United Kingdom
The Criteria used by the RWB to rank all countries are as follows:
So, in all honesty, not a league table which backs up Mr. Kavanagh's gripe about the British press' being on the brink of losing its freedom! Pity really, it was a particularly clever attempt to pull the wool over his readers' eyes!
- Reporters Without Borders considers the number of journalists murdered, expelled or harassed, and the existence of a state monopoly on TV and radio, as well as the existence of censorship and self-censorship in the media, and the overall independence of media as well as the difficulties that foreign reporters may face.
Also fascinating is the fact that none of the countries higher than Britain in the RWB's table have a single Murdoch - owned paper to call their own.....
As well as Penning the heart-rending article in today's Sun, Mr. Kavanagh has been flitting, heavy of heart no doubt, from studio to studio seeking ears to listen to his lament. Here's a recording of one such from BBC Radio 4's World at One: -
Update: Statement from the Metropolitan Police in reply to Mr. Kavanagh's article:
Monday, 13th February 2012
The linked Operations Weeting, Elveden and Tuleta are extremely difficult and complex with literally millions of pieces of documentation needing to be scrutinised and examined.
Given the seriousness of the allegations currently under investigation and the significant number of victims, the MPS does not believe that the level of resources devoted to the three inquiries is in any way disproportionate to the enormous task in hand.
There are 169 officers and staff currently deployed to the three linked investigations. Of these, 91 officers and staff are deployed to Operation Weeting; 61 to Operation Elveden; and 16 to Operation Tuleta with a Detective Chief Superintendent overseeing the three investigations. These resources are constantly reviewed and where they relate to corrupt payments to police officers the IPCC have oversight.
The majority have come from Specialist Crime; Territorial Policing and the Directorate of Professional Standards. At no stage has any major investigation been compromised as a result of these deployments.
Saturday's Operation Elveden arrests were as a result of information provided to officers by News Corporation's Management Standards Committee.
We would like to make it clear that no more than ten MPS officers attended each of the home addresses of the persons arrested as part of Operation Elveden on Saturday, 11 February. It should be noted that several officers are needed for the thorough and efficient search of an address, including, where appropriate, specialist search teams.

Hello Friend!
What kind of photo is dis? They have better at http://www.e-type.dinstudio.se/text1_3.html
Today is a good day..
Just came home fixing lunch and spend some time in the spring sun while the pasta is cooking Al dente..and I still have BWO´s song from last saturdays eurovisionsschlagermelodifestival or what ever the name is.. I think the title was your not alone.. a great songwriter have done a song with the same title few years back.. on a record called The Explorer.. but really the Bwo song was great I think.. I was surprised they only managed to reach second chance.. but my chicken stew that Im heating up from yesterday is a price winner.. I must start a restaurang soon.. A good restaurang is not just runned by good food.. the chef has to have a good self-confidence too ;-) so hopefully the rest of this day will be spent wisely in the studio writing songs.. if not manager niklas calls and destroy the peace.. and sweet Princess Victoria anounced her engagement with Daniel this morning.. Heureeka.. it´s a pity that such a sweet girl is off the single market but she is really worth all the luck and joy in the world so we at e-type.se congrats her.. and him .. take care and hugs

Whether you are already employed full-time or part-time, the role of a home business owner is highly flexible and can be adjusted to accommodate any existing schedule. These tips and tricks offer excellent insight into the world of home business.
If you have or are about to start a home business, be sure to establish an accurate budget. Many people fail at running a home business because they underestimated the cost of materials that goes with making or selling their product. For the best financial help, consider hiring an accountant.

Opening and maintaining a new business can be incredibly time consuming. Because of this it is essential that you don't let your social life fall by the wayside. Remember to set aside at least one entire day per week to relax, and try to go grab a beer with friends at least a few times per month.

This is a week of anniversaries, of remembering. Two years ago we were in Korea, meeting our youngest son. Last Saturday was the anniversary of getting on the plane to Korea. Monday was the anniversary of meeting him for the first time. This Saturday will be our second family day.
But today? Today's occasion is different, and somehow even more special. Today marks the day that Matthew has lived with our family longer than he's ever lived anywhere else. Today is a day of permanence.
This isn't an occasion I'm going to discuss with Matthew. Not right now, although as he gets older and feels more comfortable with his story, we will go there. (For now, the fact that he talks about being born in South Korea and being adopted is a huge thing.)
As I've come to learn with nearly every milestone in adoption, an occasion I've looked forward to with happy anticipation also brings sadness. I'm so happy that we have been able to provide permanence for him. And I'm also quite angry for him that it has taken 4.5 years to have this kind of permanence. It makes me sad to think of the first 6 months of his life–such an important time for attaching and bonding to someone, anyone, and he was let down. I think of the wonderful home that was provided by his foster family from the time he was 6 months until he was 2.5 and I feel terrible that he had to leave that.
But here we are. This is forever.
As the years go by, I see him settling in. It helps that we are a family big on traditions. At Christmas, I imagine him thinking–I remember this. We put a tree in the living room. We ride that train and meet Santa. Jingle the Elf visits us. We wear special pajamas and that one–that one right there is MY stocking. We get down the music box that Nuna gave me in Korea. We do this every year. I get it.
Or on vacation–Okay, we always drive to this same house. We turn in and drive over the rocks and over a bridge and I know this house! There are toys in a basket and I always sleep in THIS room. There is the pool and we drive to the beach and I remember. We do this every summer. I was here the last time we came and next summer we will come again. Together.
I won't go all cliche and say that time heals all wounds, because it doesn't. And while we're on cliches, love doesn't always conquer all, either. But I do see him healing. And in a way, time and love are both playing a part.
So today, I won't mention this anniversary to him, but I will make him hoddeok as an after school treat……and I will pray that he feels the safe and warm feeling of forever in his heart.

Dressed by the Salvation Army, fed
By City Mission, sits
Maybe it's the drugs that make him simple.
I think not. I think he has always been a child.
Once, his sister took him in, but I guess he wore her out.
He claims no family now.
It's no fun, being an addict.
"Where?" I ask, "Are you sleeping, Nathan?"
"Car Park. Off Westgate Street."
Until, I guess, an upright citizen, with a full belly,
Complains. Or drunken party-goers piss on him.
I think about this, often. There are people who
Stop in sympathy with a pound or a sandwich
And there are people who piss on him.
I am guessing, because you have read this far,
That you are not one of those.

The Brief
Frank were invited to pitch for the development of a new digital platform for Healthier Futures.
The website was to reflect their expansion in services and recent rebrand. They also required a digital platform that offered ease of use and flexibility, allowing Healthier Futures staff to spend less time managing their site.
What we delivered
Given the nature of the Healthier Futures organisation, it was very important that we scoped out the user journey extensively prior to the development of the website.
The scoping encompassed all aspects of the organisation: how Healthier Futures engaged with their stakeholders and clients, and how best to present their services in a way that was relevant and clearly understood.
We held 3 engagement sessions with their stakeholders to run through user journey, creative look and feel and functionality. Upon reaching buy-in across the stakeholder group and ensuring that the specification was reflective of Healthier Futures' needs, we developed the site, and went live within the specified launch date.
Ongoing secure hosting and support contracts ensure that 8 months after go-live the site is bedded into Healthier Futures and is being used to its full potential.
The Results
- The new website is reflective of the Healthier Futures brand.
- The new website has reduced admin time and increased efficiencies for Healthier Futures.
- Staff area to improve internal communication.
"We now have a fantastic website which meets the needs of us and our stakeholders, and which is really easy to manage and develop."
Ian White, Project Manager: Communications and Marketing, Healthier Futures

Minecraft Pocket Edition Survival Mode Update | Android & iOS
Minecraft pocket edition, everyone's favourite sandbox building game on the go, has recently had an exciting update adding a whole new mode to the game - survival mode.
If you're familiar with the desktop version of the game, you will know exactly what survival mode is, but if not, survival mode starts you off in a Minecraft world with no resources. You must mine, battle and craft your way through the world if you want to build anything, let alone survive the night.
In true Minecraft style, the game appears to be in an extended alpha stage (0.2.0) but don't let that worry you, it's one of my favourite games available for android. Update the game from your Android market, if you haven't done so already, or purchase it from the link below!
But what about iOS? I hear you cry! The update is awaiting Apple's approval already.

Hello coffee enthusiasts,
On this beautiful Valentine's Day I thought I would dedicate this post to all of the things that we here at BCB love. Don't worry, I'm not going to write an in-depth analysis on why we love coffee, pastries, etc. That should be fairly obvious by now, and wouldn't make for an interesting entry, in my opinion. Instead, I'm going to focus on all of the aspects of our business that I love, and also a few of the many local businesses that we love for helping us keep things running so smoothly. Valentine's Day is a holiday most notably associated with love, so I hope you guys love this holiday-themed post.
There are simply too many lovable aspects of our business to list in one blog post, so I'd like to focus in on two. The first part of our business that I love dearly is our staff. Each one of our employees is very unique in their own way. This diversity helps keep things very interesting on a day-to-day basis, but they do all share one thing in common. That one shared trait is their passion for our business. Whether they are simply making some extra cash and experience as they prepare for their true callings, or are looking to turn this part-time opportunity into a life-long career, all of our employees truly care about the service we are attaining to provide. That common drive to provide the best service possible is something that I'm very proud to have on our team. It also leads me to the second thing I love about our business.
The second aspect of our business that I love is our vision in general. We truly feel that we are providing a service that this community needs. By utilizing our drive-thru at both locations, we are able to service the business-class in a way that allows them to enjoy quality products on a daily basis. We here at BCB believe that every individual deserves the option of home-made items, no matter what their busy schedule is like. I love this aspect of our business because we are able to fill a unique demand by challenging ourselves to provide our services as efficiently as possible. This challenge would not be attainable without some help from our colleagues, who we are truly thankful for.
Once again, it would take up way too much time to write out all of the businesses that we rely on, so I'm just going to focus in on a few for this final love list. Elementary Coffee Co is a huge contributor to our business. Not only did Andrea, their owner, work for us for a short time back during our inception, but she also supplies us with espresso and cold brew. It's very nice to have a close connection with someone who has such a large knowledge of coffee, so we really love Elementary.
Lancaster County Coffee Roasters are another big contributor for our business. We rely on them to supply us with all of the coffee we provide to our customers, and they're also great when it comes to advice on machinery. MASK-ET Services is always one call away whenever our coffee machinery breaks-down, so we also love the service that they provide.
We have been using Mid Penn Bank for a few years now, and have nothing but praise for their constant professionalism. Not only do they handle all of our banking, but MPB also likes to team up with us from time to time to give back to our customers. Bagel Lovers is another business that we love, simply because their service allows us to provide the best bagels around based off of the fact that they deliver to us daily, ensuring the freshest possible product.
Lastly, I would like to mention our love for the West Shore Chamber of Commerce. They truly have been a great source of networking for BCB. We've made countless connections through our membership, and their president likes to treat the office to breakfast sandwiches from time to time, which is just icing on the cake if you ask me.
Overall, BCB has a lot to love on this Valentine's Day. We're very thankful for everyone that contributes to our business, and we encourage all of our customers to support their businesses as well. I hope everyone has a lovely Valentine's Day, and make sure to spread the love!
Until next time,
-Your CBG
