Oliva did it right with this 2015 collection.
All the cigars were good. Padilla s tasted like the tobacco had a slight ammonia odor and taste.
The best cigars offered in the industry,an excellent variety of best smokes .What ever your tastes are,you will chose a box or two to stock your humidor,I promise.
Wow...And I am wowed indeedI bought 3 samplers,and because Famous had such an unbeatable price, I was able to smoke these like daily smokers. I really got a chance to sink my teeth into Olivia cigars. I am impressed. A big surprisewas the Cain. Smooth and strong and they look and feel great in hand.I ve hadOliva before, and always thought of them as also ran $5 cigars. That sure has changed...Keep it up @ Famous Smoke...
Oliva are a good brand, but not all are a great cigar in general with good taste. Not all have the same rating, so I have my personal rating for each one on this combo: 2 Avo Domaine #10 Natural 5 1/8 x 50 - Two Stars 2 Avo XO Robusto Natural 5 x 50 - Two Stars 2 Baccarat Rothschild Natural 5 x 50 - One Star 2 Cusano 18 Robusto Natural 5 x 50 - Three Stars 2 Griffin s Robusto Natural 5 x 50 - Two Stars 2 Room 101 San Andres 808 Natural 6 x 60 - Four Stars
This is a must buy every cigar will give you a minimal of 45 minutes. I swear by this statement this is a steal of a deal dont hesitate . This is the best sampler Ive ever purchased and have had multiple 90 rated samplers this is the best of them all .I strongly urge you to pick this up dont sleep on it .
No mater which of these beauties you smoke you find consistent construction-draw and flavor - always a great smoke - at the top of my list for cigar enjoyment. TAz
This was my first cigar sample pack, as well as my first experience with Oliva, and -- with 2-3 exceptions -- I found them very disappointing.
Full review currently not available.
The Oliva Cains cigars had been very disappointing. No tastes and is like smoking gum tree ashes. Go very well with the bush fires we experiencing in Australia 2013. I didn't need to pay and smoke Oliva Cains to breath in the bush fire smoke.The nubs has more tastes and I loved it. Will I be order more nubs but Stuffed the Oliva Cain. Ordering an other Oliva Anthology to see if an improvement.

Liverpool is one of the premier cities in the North West, known today for its extensive infrastructure, transport networks and stunning regeneration projects. With a regional economy of £20bn, Liverpool is a major contributor to the national economy and one of the UK's most popular tourist destinations. On top of that, the city's extreme popularity as a venue for businesses and a home for young professionals makes it the sort of buy-to-let hotspot that any property investor should be interested in.
Liverpool is going through a huge regeneration at the moment – stand out projects include the Liverpool ONE shopping complex, the redevelopment of Liverpool Lime Street Station and the re-opening and expansion of the docks. The city has a big presence in the financial, advanced manufacturing, bioengineering and digital and communication sectors, all of which have an international impact. All the workers looking to work in Liverpool's state of the art businesses, not to mention the huge student population, need high quality housing, something which the city currently has a shortage of.

How the Elites KEEP YOU IN THE DARK
1) Make outrageous comments designed to distract or frustrate: An Alinsky tactic used to make people emotional, although less effective because of the impersonal nature of the web.
2) Pose as a supporter of the truth, then make comments that discredit the movement: We have seen this even on our own forums — trolls pose as supporters of the Liberty Movement, then post long, incoherent diatribes so as to appear either racist or insane. Here is a live example of this tactic in use on Yahoo! Answers.
The key to this tactic is to make references to common Liberty Movement arguments while at the same time babbling nonsense, so as to make those otherwise valid arguments seem ludicrous by association.
In extreme cases, these "Trojan Horse Trolls" have been known to make posts which incite violence — a technique obviously intended to solidify the false assertions of the notorious MIAC report and other ADL/SPLC publications which purport that constitutionalists should be feared as potential domestic terrorists.
3) Dominate Discussions: Trolls often interject themselves into productive web discussions in order to throw them off course and frustrate the people involved.
4) Prewritten Responses: Many trolls are supplied with a list or database with pre-planned talking points designed as generalized and deceptive responses to honest arguments. 9/11 "debunker" trolls are notorious for this.
5) False Association: This works hand in hand with item #2, by invoking the stereotypes established by the "Trojan Horse Troll."
For example: calling those against the Federal Reserve "conspiracy theorists" or "lunatics". Deliberately associating anti-globalist movements with big foot or alien enthusiasts, because of the inherent negative connotations. Using false associations to provoke biases and dissuade people from examining the evidence objectively.
6) False Moderation: Pretending to be the "voice of reason" in an argument with obvious and defined sides in an attempt to move people away from what is clearly true into a "grey area" where the truth becomes "relative."
7) Straw Man Arguments: A very common technique. The troll will accuse his opposition of subscribing to a certain point of view, even if he does not, and then attacks that point of view. Or, the troll will put words in the mouth of his opposition, and then rebut those specific words. For example: "9/11 truthers say that no planes hit the WTC towers, and that it was all just computer animation. What are they, crazy?"
Part II
-Government Disinformation Methods-
Governments, and the globalists who back them, have immense assets — an almost endless fiat money printing press — and control over most legal and academic institutions. With these advantages, disinformation can be executed on a massive scale. Here are just a handful of the most prominent tactics used by government agencies and private think tanks to guide public opinion, and establish the appearance of consensus:
1) Control The Experts: Most Americans are taught from kindergarten to ignore their instincts for the truth and defer to the "professional class" for all their answers. The problem is that much of the professional class is indoctrinated throughout their college years, many of them molded to support the status quo. Any experts that go against the grain are ostracized by their peers.
2) Control The Data: By controlling the source data of any investigation, be it legal or scientific, the government has the ability to engineer any truth they wish, that is, as long as the people do not care enough to ask for the source data. Two major examples of controlled and hidden source data include; the NIST investigation of the suspicious 9/11 WTC collapses, in which NIST engineers, hired by the government, have kept all source data from their computer models secret, while claiming that the computer models prove the collapses were "natural". Also, the recent exposure of the CRU Climate Labs and their manipulation of source data in order to fool the public into believing that Global Warming is real, and accepting a world-wide carbon tax. The CRU has refused to release the source data from its experiments for years, and now we know why.
3) Skew The Statistics: This tactic is extremely evident in the Labor Department's evaluations on unemployment, using such tricks as incorporating ambiguous birth / death ratios into their calculation in order to make it appear as though there are less unemployed people than there really are, or leaving out certain subsections of the population, like those who are unemployed and no longer seeking benefits.
3) Guilt By False Association: Governments faced with an effective opponent will always attempt to demonize that person or group in the eyes of the public. This is often done by associating them with a group or idea that the public already hates. Example: During the last election, they tried to associate Ron Paul supporters with racist groups (and more recently, certain Fox News anchors) in order to deter moderate Democrats from taking an honest look at Congressman Paul's policies.
4) Manufacture Good News: This falls in with the skewing of statistics, and it also relies heavily on Media cooperation. The economic "Green Shoots" concept is a good example of the combination of government and corporate media interests in order to create an atmosphere of false optimism based on dubious foundations.
5) Controlled Opposition: Men in positions of power have known for centuries the importance of controlled opposition. If a movement rises in opposition to one's authority, one must usurp that movement's leadership. If no such movement exists to infiltrate, the establishment will often create a toothless one, in order to fill that social need, and neutralize individuals who might have otherwise taken action themselves.
During the 1960's and 70's, the FBI began a secretive program called COINTELPRO. Along with illegal spying on American citizens who were against the Vietnam conflict or in support of the civil rights movement, they also used agents and media sources to pose as supporters of the movement, then purposely created conflict and division, or took control of the direction of the movement altogether. This same tactic has been attempted with the modern Liberty Movement on several levels, but has so far been ineffective in stopping our growth.
The NRA is another good example of controlled opposition, as many gun owners are satisfied that paying their annual NRA dues is tantamount to actively resisting anti-gun legislation; when in fact, the NRA is directly responsible for many of the compromises which result in lost ground on 2nd amendment issues. In this way, gun owners are not only rendered inactive, but actually manipulated into funding the demise of their own cause.
6) False Paradigms: Human beings have a tendency to categorize and label other people and ideas. It is, for better or worse, a fundamental part of how we understand the complexities of the world. This component of human nature, like most any other, can be abused as a powerful tool for social manipulation. By framing a polarized debate according to artificial boundaries, and establishing the two poles of that debate, social engineers can eliminate the perceived possibility of a third alternative. The mainstream media apparatus is the key weapon to this end. The endless creation of dichotomies, and the neat arrangement of ideologies along left/right lines, offers average people a very simple (though hopelessly inaccurate) way of thinking about politics. It forces them to choose a side, usually based solely on emotional or cultural reasons, and often lures them into supporting positions they would otherwise disagree with. It fosters an environment in which beating the other team is more important than ensuring the integrity of your own. Perhaps most importantly, it allows the social engineer to determine what is "fair game" for debate, and what is not.
Alinsky himself wrote: "One acts decisively only in the conviction that all the angels are on one side and all the devils on the other."
One merely needs to observe a heated debate between a Democrat and a Republican to see how deeply this belief has been ingrained on both sides, and how destructive it is to true intellectual discourse.
How to Over Come this easily seen Mass manipulation Media technique...
The best way to disarm disinformation agents is to know their methods inside and out.
This gives us the ability to point out exactly what they are doing in detail the moment they try to do it.
Immediately exposing a disinformation tactic as it is being used is highly destructive to the person utilizing it.
It makes them look foolish, dishonest, and weak for even making the attempt.
Examine EVERYTHING!!!
Who Profits?
Where does this course eventually lead?
What does this imply backwards and FORWARDS?
Why is this in the Mainstream Media?
How can this further the goals of the NWO?
Or any combination of these questions which will shed light of the hidden truth!

OKLAHOMA CITY -- You see Kansas' Cole Aldrich -- all 6-11, 245 pounds of him -- swatting shots and snatching rebounds, and you want to say, 'Pick on somebody your own size.'
(Well, you do if you're in an opponent's uniform.)
He will Saturday, when the nation's best big man runs into Northern Iowa and 7-foot, 280-pound Jordan Eglseder.
Eglseder's no stiff, shooting 53% and averaging almost 12 points and 7.5 rebounds a game. He piled up 20 points, 14 rebounds and a couple of blocks in a Dec. 2 win at Iowa State, the only one by a nonconference opponent on a Big 12 home court this season.
Lest you wonder, the left-handed senior from Bellevue, Iowa -- a second-team all-Missouri Valley Conference selection -- hasn't fouled out in 163 career college games. Aldrich has fouled out of two of 110 games, both this season, in his three seasons at KU.
"It's going to be a lot of fun," Aldrich says of the matchup. "You know, he's got a big body. The one thing I think that really helps us out is the conference we play in, having (Texas' Dexter) Pittman and other guys like that."
Hmmm. Against Texas and the 6-10, 290-pound Pittman, Aldrich hit just two of 10 shots and finished with a subpar seven points and five rebounds ... though he also had six blocks.

348 pages, Figs, tabs
The biological study of social behaviour has illuminated many aspects of animal and human behaviour and in this book both biologists and social scientists open up new perspectives on the phenomena of conflict, competition, co-operation and violence. Evoluntionary analyses of agonistic and antagonistic behaviour are discussed by an international team of contributers. It includes themes like revolution and "primitive" warfare, comparing the more paroxysmal forms of conflict behaviour, i.e. naked violence and destructiveness, with retreat and fleeing behaviour. These studies highlight the complexities and intricacies of the cost-benefit calculus involved in competitive behaviour; this has led to such insights as; that conflict and co-operation are always intertwined; that "drive" models of aggression have become obselete; that violent interaction is an evolutionary means, not an end in itself and that it makes sense only in the context of reproductive effort. The result is a book that contributes to the continuing literature in sociobiological studies. Most of the chapters are thoroughly revised and updated papers given at a European Sociobiological Society conference in Jerusalem in 1987, with other equally authoritative contributions added. The book will appeal to a wide range of people interested in the origins of conflict, competition and violence.

By Deena Winter | Nebraska Watchdog
LINCOLN — Ben Sasse said today he will run for the U.S. Senate seat that will be vacated by Mike Johanns next year.
Sasse is president of Midland University, a private Christian liberal arts university in the town of Fremont, where he grew up. Sasse has been engaged in a "listening tour" of Nebraska, but this week filed legal campaign paperwork with the secretary of state to raise money, hire staff and begin organizing a campaign.
He told Nebraska Watchdog he intends to run for the Senate, with a formal announcement this fall.
"After weeks of listening across our state, it is obvious that Nebraskans want change in government," he said in a press statement. "That means electing someone who will call nonsense on Washington's endless false promises, who actually knows how to dismantle Obamacare, and who will stand up to political leadership, regardless of party."
He joins two other Republicans in the race, former Nebraska State Treasurer Shane Osborn and Omaha attorney Bart McLeay.
He attended Harvard, Oxford, St. John's and got his Ph.D. from Yale. His first job out of college was working for the Boston Consulting Group, a global management consulting firm, and from 2003 to 2005, he was chief of staff for the U.S. Department of Justice's Office of Legal Policy.
From 2007 until the day Obama was inaugurated, he served as U.S. assistant secretary of Health and Human Services under President George W. Bush — the fourth-ranking job in the department, working in policy and research.
Enrollment has nearly doubled since he arrived at Midland, which recently bought Dana College in Blair, a nearby Lutheran college.
He's one of the top half-dozen health care experts on the Worldwide Speakers Group speaking circuit, and has debated former Vermont governor and presidential contender Howard Dean on Obamacare several times.

Kammatippadam, which released on May 20, 2016, has been getting amazing reviews from critics and audiences alike. The film is also doing a good business at the box-office.
Now, what we hear is that the film is going all the way to Bollywood and Tollywood, and talks are going on regarding the Hindi and Telugu remakes of Kammatipaadam.
Interestingly, Dulquer Salmaan's movies have been selling hot in remake circuits, with Charlie being the most recent example.
According to reports, for the Hindi version of the film, Arjun Kapoor is being considered to reprise the role done by Dulquer Salmaan in the original.
For the Telugu version of the film, actor Akhil Akkineni is being considered to do the lead character of the film.
Rajeev Ravi who is a well-known cinematographer in Bollywood was expected to helm the Bollywood remake as well. But, sources close to the director suggest that he won't be helming the remake of Kammatipaadam.
Kammatipaadam definitely deals with a subject which can be adapted to any other place. It would be interesting to see who would reprise that characters of Gangan and balan, done by Vinayakan and Manikandan Achaari respectively in the original.
Kammatipaadam has an ensemble star cast comprising of actors like Shaun Romy, Suraj Venjaramoodu, Alencier Ley, Anil Nedumangad, Shine Tom Chacko, P Balachandran, Amalda Liz, Vinay Forrt etc.

text: CHICAGO ( TheStreet) -- Whether they're hopping a private jet to St. Barts or handing over platinum credit cards at designer boutiques, the ultra-rich operate in a world apart from the average middle-class American.Those differences are especially striking at tax time. The more money you have, the more options you have for avoiding or minimizing certain taxes. "When you have a greater number of assets, you're more able to engage in planning," says Bruce J. Wexler, partner at the law firm Loeb & Loeb and chair of its New York trusts and estates department. For wealthy families, taxes are a year-round concern. While affluent taxpayers may be able to afford a jet-set lifestyle, they can't escape the long arm of the Internal Revenue Service. American citizens must pay U.S. taxes on their income no matter what country it's earned in or where they live. They also must pay capital gains taxes on any profit they make from selling property, whether it's a lodge in Aspen or a penthouse in Paris. That's why the only way to really save on taxes is to renounce U.S. citizenship. If you move to a tax haven such as the Bahamas or the Cayman Islands, you'll avoid taxes on income, capital gains, and property. Investor John Templeton, who popularized the mutual fund, took this route. But it's not one many American millionaires have emulated. A more popular option for avoiding taxes is to spread the family wealth among numerous properties and investments. Thanks to the lower capital gains tax, it pays to draw most of your income from investments rather than salary. Warren Buffett pointed out a few years ago that his income is taxed at about 17% percent, while his receptionist is taxed at 30%. Charitable giving also pays off more when you're rich. If someone in the 25% tax bracket donates $1,000 to their favorite charity, their actual cost is $750. But someone in the 35% bracket would have an actual cost of only $650 for the same donation. But wealthy families' tax-reduction strategies usually focus on two taxes that don't apply to most Americans: the estate and gift taxes.

There are many different types of contraception/ārai hapū available in Aotearoa New Zealand ranging from emergency, hormonal and barrier methods to long-acting or permanent contraception.
What methods of contraception are available?
There are different methods of contraception, including:
- long-acting reversible contraception, such as an implant, or an intra uterine device
- hormonal contraception such as contraceptive pills – "the pill", the injection and vaginal rings
- barriers methods, such as condoms and diaphragms
- fertility awareness
- emergency contraception
- permanent contraception, such as vasectomy and tubal ligation.
What is long-acting reversible contraception?
Long-acting reversible contraception (LARC) is a contraceptive that lasts for a long time. You don't need to remember it every day or even every month.
There are two types of LARC in Aotearoa New Zealand:
- an intrauterine device (IUD) that lasts five or more years
- an implant under the skin that lasts either three or five years.
These types of contraception last longer so are more effective at preventing pregnancy because you don't have to worry about forgetting pills or a condom breaking or coming off.
They are "fit and forget" contraception.
What are hormonal contraceptives?
"The Pill" is one of the most popular contraceptive methods in New Zealand.
The Pill/te pire comes in two forms:
Both are taken daily and are over 99% effective at preventing pregnancy when taken correctly.
The Depo Provera injection and the vaginal ring are other forms of hormonal contraception. The injection lasts three months and the vaginal ring is changed every month.
What are barrier methods?
Barrier methods stop sperm from entering the vagina. There are three main barrier methods of contraception:
Condoms/pukoro ure protect against sexually transmissible infections (STIs) as well as unwanted pregnancy.
Female condoms are available from our website and in other online shops, and from some pharmacies.
A diaphragm (with spermicide) is inserted into a woman's vagina before intercourse. It must always be used with spermicide.
What is fertility awareness?
Fertility awareness is recognising the signs of fertility in a woman's menstrual cycle. It can be used to understand your own menstrual cycle, plan a pregnancy or avoid a pregnancy.
What is emergency contraception?
In Aotearoa New Zealand we have two options for emergency contraception - the emergency contraceptive pill (ECP) or a copper IUD.
Emergency contraception can be used to prevent pregnancy after you have had sex when:
- you haven't used protection
- your normal contraception fails e.g. condom splits
- you have missed more than one contraceptive pill
- you have been vomiting or had diarrhoea while on the pill
- you have missed your injection
- you have been forced to have sex without contraception.
What is permanent contraception?
Permanent contraception is sterilisation that permanently prevents pregnancy. The procedure for men is a vasectomy and for women it is tubal ligation.
Family Planning has clinics located throughout New Zealand. Use the clinic finder to find your nearest clinic.

Skillet Shepherd's Pie
Recipe by PanNan
This is a quick and easy version of a classic, and the guys in my family raved about it. I'm posting here for safe keeping. It's a recipe from America's Test Kitchen.
Top Review by Queen Roachie
I liked this quite a bit. It did take a bit longer in my oven on broil, but not a problem. Had to sub corn for the carrots based on what I had. I agree with the reviewer who said this was a bit like a pasty without the crust. Think I'll add some garlic next time and mess with the seasonings a bit, but still a quick tasty weeknight dinner. Thanks for sharing.

Ingredients Nutrition
- 8 cups frozen hash brown potatoes (not the cubed type)
- 4 tablespoons butter, melted (divided)
- salt
- pepper
- 1 1⁄2 lbs ground beef
- 1 onion, chopped fine
- 1 1⁄2 teaspoons minced fresh thyme
- 1⁄4 cup flour

Toss them with 2 tbsp of the melted butter, 1 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp pepper. Microwave the potatoes, covered, until tender - 7 - 10 minutes on high.
- Cook beef and onion in a large oven safe skillet until beef is cooked, about 5 minutes. Drain fat off.
- Stir thyme and flour into beef/onion mixture and cook about 1 minute. Add broth and Worcestershire sauce and cook about 6 - 8 minutes until thickened.
- Add peas and carrots to beef mixture and simmer until heated, about a minute, and season with salt and pepper.
- Scatter the cooked hash browns over the top of the beef mixture and brush with the rest of the butter.
- Place the skillet unter the broiler and broil 3 - 5 minutes or until the potatoes have golden brown tips.
- Remove from oven and serve.

Due to lack of something as a "reposting" you can do on Twitter or Tumblr or whatever, I am going to go with a good old fashioned "copy and paste". The original message can be found here and it was brought to our attention by BluePandaSpirit here, though I figured it could use some more direct visibility, hence the re-blogging of the entire statement.
Howdy, friends. As you have likely already heard, four episodes from Book 3 were leaked this past weekend. It is bad enough that it happened at all, but it would have been a little less of a disaster had it at least been the first four episodes of the season. Instead, the third through the sixth episodes popped out online, causing confusion and, at least on our end of things, frustration. As you all know, these episodes take a ton of concerted effort from scores of individuals. We craft these continuous storylines and the animation as best we can, and hope that they are presented in a way that allows everyone to enjoy them to the fullest. But when leaks happen, the work we meticulously prepared for the audience is fumbled unceremoniously.
Nickelodeon is obviously a massive corporation with outlets all over the world. These outlets get the episodes in advance so they can translate and dub them for their markets. We typically deliver the episodes to the network quite close to their U.S. premieres, but in the case of Book 3, we have actually already finished the entire season as of last week. The network has some plans in the works for it and needs to wait on its release, so we have been keeping quiet while keeping our noses to the Book 4 grindstone. Unfortunately, the longer the episodes sit on all these shelves all over the world, the probability of leaks increases.
So, yeah… It is unfortunate it played out this way. Hopefully it won't be too much longer before Book 3 is released properly and with respect to all the people who worked hard to make it and to the audience who wants to watch it.
So to recap for everyone in short: Do not post links to the leaked episodes anywhere on the wiki. Those with the ability to remove it will do so on sight. We respect Michael Dante DiMartino and Bryan Konietzko's hard work and as such we will not host any of the leaked information. The Avatar Wiki will wait until the episodes have been officially released.

"The ladies who ran the contest said, 'Well honey, don't you sing while you sew or maybe you tap dance while you sew?' I said, 'No ma'am, I just sort of sit there.' That was not what they wanted to hear."

1. Take two wetsuits. That way one is always hanging up and dry, so you won't always be putting on a clammy, wet, wetsuit.
2. Also, take a light sweater or long-sleeve T-shirt. The AC is usually kept on the chilly side in the berths and saloon and after diving you're core temperature is always a little down.
3. Check with the operator to find out what water temperatures and conditions you might encounter, and pack thermal protection accordingly. Remember that you will probably get colder as the week progresses (your core temp goes down with extended immersion), so throw in an extra vest or hood.
4. A marker float and compact reel is always a good self-rescue addition, especially if you will be diving from smaller skiffs instead of from a moored mother ship.
5. Go for smaller, high intensity LED lights to save weight and space in the gear bag.
6. Chargers and extra batteries are obviously important, but don't go crazy on the spare parts and redundant gear. You'll likely overload your bags and end up paying excess baggage charges, and most all liveaboards stock a full range of spares and loaners.
7. If you are any prescription meds, make a copy of the order form, both for emergency resupply and to satisfy curious customs inspectors.
8. Pack everything in soft-sided bags, as they will be easier to stow in your cabin.
9. And go easy on the clothing. You'll be in and out of the water all day, so a few pairs of shorts and some t-shirts is all the wardrobe you'll need, plus a fleece jacket. Yes, even in the tropics. As mentioned before, multiple days of diving daily will lower your core temperature, making evening breezes seem downright cold, not to mention the fact that many liveaboards keep the air conditioning cranking in the lounge and dining room.
10. Unless the shore side itinerary calls for wilderness hikes, a simple pair of flip flops or Crocs may be all the footwear you need. Many divers end up going barefoot during the day and maybe slipping on some comfy footie socks at night.
11. With the exception of an iPod, leave the entertainment at home. Most boats have a good collection of books and DVDs, and you usually end up spending the majority of your surface intervals napping or reliving your diving adventures with your fellow passengers.
12. Bring an extension cord, because the electrical outlets are not always next to the most comfortable place to sit while reviewing your images on your laptop.
13. If you are a serious photographer, pack a portable hard drive with a viewing screen and plug-ins for usb and flash memory cards. Epson and Jobo make excellent ones. If your laptop dies on the trip, you're still able to download. And if your laptop doesn't die, you've got your images backed up.

Winter in Berlin: an introduction (+ personal favorites)
Tuesday, November 20, 2012
Labels: Berlin, iPhonography, writing 1 comments
Whelp, that about settles it. For the past few couple of weeks now, temperatures have been steadily dropping, even dipping below zero degrees (0C/32F). As part of the irreversible march towards the long and brutal German winter, Berliners are ditching fall wardrobe pieces for warmer, heavier, and more utilitarian apparel. And moving, along with their cigarettes from parks, plazas, and canals, indoors to the many comforting, living room-esque, inviting bars, coffee shops, and cafés strewn across the city. Too, in the spirit of the holiday season, I have decided to share a few of my favorite Berlin dives, hangouts, and haunts. They are listed below, in alphabetical order, along with a brief description and their respective address.
- Ä: cheap and pioneering Weserstraße bar with a fun, youthful vibe. Weserstraße 40
- Bar Raval: sleek tapas restó across from Görtlizer Park, one of multicultural Kreuzberg's main social arteries. Lübbener Straße 1.
- City Chicken: with its sparsely decorated interior, comprised of industrial-style seating and Islamic Qu'ran quoteings, this Sonnennallee Lebanese restaurant is best-known for their over the top portions of delicious spit-roasted chicken served with almost uneatable portions of hummus, garlic sauce, salads and French fries. Sonnenallee 59.
- Engels: cozy Neukölln cafe with a rustic interior up front, and comfy couches and pinball machines in the back. Good cake and lounge-like ambiance. Hurrfurthstraße 21.
- Five Elephant: located on the quiet southern side of Görtlizer Park, this coffee shop, complete with its own in-house roasting operation, is the real deal. Heavy emphasis on sustainability and fair-trade; the friendly staff travels to and sources coffees from environmentally-friendly farms in Central and South America. And the cheesecake is to die for. A personal favorite. Reichenbergerstraße 101.
- Hamy: cheap Vietnamese restó on Hermannplatz. The Tagesmenü - daily menu - changes daily, and comes in at only €4,90. Hasenheide 10.
- KaffeeBar: Ich mag KaffeeBar! Lovable coffeeshop and British expat hangout in the Graefestraße kiez. Graefestraße 9.
- KaffeeMitte: superb people watching and Italian sandwiches in Mitte. Surprisingly good hot chocolate, too. Weinmeisterstraße 9.
- Liesl: neighborhoodsy bar on a dark Neukölln side street that, to me, epitomizes the Berlin "living room" bar. Nogatstraße 30.
- Luzia: more trendy and flashy than the other bars listed here, but nevertheless a very dark and enjoyable hangout popular with the gentrifying Kreuzberg set. Oranienstraße 34.
- Nam Định Quán: deep in the former East, this legit pho joint is inside of Litchenberg´s vast, seemingly never-ending Vietnamese shopping center. Herzbergstraße 128-139.
- Natasha und Henrich: kinda smokey, but otherwise a solid bar with a nice selection and attractive interior as far as Neukölln bars go. The locally-brewed Potsdamer Stange is worth a try. Or three. Weichselstraße 44.
- Sankt Oberholz: Rosenthaler Platz café and creative hub popular with techies, start-up workers, and bloggers. Rosenthaler Straße 72.
- Senegambia: Gambian-owned hole-in-the-wall on the quiet Reichenberger Straße. The beef maffé is superb, and though the restaurant's interior is loud, brash, and rather haphazard, the food is every bit on part with Paris' Senegalese offerings. Reichenberger Straße 72.
- The Barn - Roastery: Mitte coffee shop and roaster best known for its in-house roasting operation and elaborate coffee-making displays/exhibitions. And no strollers/wifi/toilettes/sugar policy. For serious coffee lovers only! Schönhauser Allee 8.
- Voo: Scandinavian clothing and street style store with a heavy Danish slant and pop-up coffee operation run by current World Cup Tasting Champion, Cory Andreen. Oranienstraße 24.
That aside, I have also posted a small collection of photos taken during this transitional and often unpredictable month of the year (November). In addition to the requisite architecture and fog-themed shots, I have included a few of the cozy, cave-like warm spaces where the majority of the city's social engagement and interaction typically plays out during the course of winter, included a few from my list above. With these, I have kept in mind a particularly relevant German saying: "Es gibt schlechtes Wetter, sondern nur die falsche kleidung". Rough translation: there is no such thing as bad weather, just bad clothing. Enjoy, and stay warm!

Shanghai +86 21 6355 1766
With Patek Philippe Extract from the Archives confirming production of the present watch in 1963 and its subsequent sale on 5 June 1964.
This watch, reference 2523/1, is part of an exceedingly small series of dual crown world time wristwatches introduced into the market around 1957. According to research, a total of only 8 examples of reference 2523/1 in yellow gold are known to have survived. The present watch however appears to be the only reference 2523/1 bearing the retailer's signature Tiffany & Co. on the dial to appear in public to date.
While resembling its predecessor, reference 2523 (launched in 1953), there are subtle differences in design. Examining the side view of reference 2523, one notices that the lugs rise higher than the bezel and sharply angle down. The side view of the present lot, reference 2523/1, details lugs that are slightly lower than the bezel with less of an angle. This modification contributed towards a slender, more elegant appearance.
References 2523 and 2523/1 were furthermore fitted with differing dial versions: whereas reference 2523/1 was available with the traditional silvered or gilt dials, reference 2523 existed also with different enamelled versions.
This example of reference 2523/1, since 2001 in one of Europe's most important collections of vintage Patek Philippe wristwatches, is certainly what a true collector's watch is defined by: mechanical complexity, esthetical appeal, excellent original condition and the signature of a celebrated house - in this instance even the signatures of two celebrated houses.
World Time watches
As of the 1930s, Patek Philippe produced several models of world time wristwatches with varying case designs and dial layouts, mainly fitted with only one crown allowing to wind the movement, set the hands and adjust the world time indication. Several examples are illustrated in Patek Philippe Wristwatches by Martin Huber & Alan Banbery, second edition, pp. 240-247.
The world time mechanism was invented by celebrated Geneva watchmaker Louis Cottier (1894-1966). The technology was incorporated into watches by several of Switzerland's leading watch firms, including Patek Philippe, Vacheron & Constantin and Rolex.
The world time mechanism is a functional complication that is simple to calibrate. One must first set the local or mean time by the crown at 3 o'clock (the 24 hour ring will revolve in the opposite direction of the hands). Then the outer ring is adjusted by turning the crown at 9 o'clock until one's current global location is indicated at the 12 o'clock position. Once this is calibrated, the relative time of each world location is set. The two-tone 24-hour ring indicates world locations that are in night time by the grey section and daytime by the silvered section.

Patient Review Highlights
Symptoms, causes and treatment for Asthma
Necrotizing enterocolitis is a disease that causes inflammation of the tissues present in the intestines and results in damaged tissues. It initially affects the inner lining which ultimately results in thickening of the intestine. It may also lead to a hole in the abdomen resulting in bacteria entering the intestine, thus resulting in infection.
The symptoms of Necrotizing enterocolitis are:
- You may experience symptoms of bloating in the abdomen
- The abdomen may be discolored
- You may experience diarrhea and vomiting
- You may not feel hungry
- There may be presence of blood in your stool
- You may have a fever and constantly feel lethargic
Causes: Lack of blood and oxygen in the intestine causes it to become weak and increases the chances of Necrotizing enterocolitis. It may result if oxygen levels drop during a difficult delivery. If the intestines are weak, then they are at a higher risk of getting infected by bacteria. If you have an excessive supply of blood cells in your body or other stomach condition, then it may lead to this disease.
Diagnosis: Usually the doctor conducts a physical exam to detect the symptoms of this disease. If babies are born with this condition, then they may suffer from weak immune system and problems in blood circulation. The doctor may also recommend x-rays to get detailed images of the intestine in order to probe for symptoms of inflammation and damage.
The treatment of the disease depends on few factors such as:
- The child's age
- How far has the disease progressed?
- Health of your child
It is recommended to stop breastfeeding. Feed the baby through intravenous methods. The doctor may also recommend antibiotics and oxygen support if the child has breathing problems. In severe cases, the child may require surgery to treat this disease.
If the treatment occurs early, then the child may recover. However, complications such as a narrow and damaged bowel may persist. This may cause problems in nutrient absorption in the intestine leading to other disorders.
I have breathing problems since childhood. I frequently get nose blocks, sore throat. And I am allergic to dust. How can this be cured?
The newborn are often extremely susceptible to fatal diseases and the first few months of the infant's life calls for uncompromised care and vigilance. One of the most precarious diseases afflicting the newborn babies are chronic lung disorders. This condition mainly emanates from a damage to the lung tissue, which results in breathing troubles. Under such circumstances, the lung may collapse, being filled with fluids and end up oozing out harmful mucus. While a severe form of such lung diseases may often result in the death of the infant, in most cases the infants outgrow the disease and with proper care, grow up to lead a healthy life.
Most chronic lung diseases in infants are congenital and are spurred by a variety of causes:
- Premature delivery: Chronic lung diseases are recurrent in babies born prematurely, i.e. before the lapse of at least 26 weeks of gestation age. Underweight infants also run the risk of suffering from this ailment. The lungs are not able to develop fully in such situations as a result of which they become prone to respiratory distresses. Another allied trigger to Chronic Lung Disease is the use of ventilation on the premature babies. The forced breathing and imposed oxygen levels induced by ventilators often impair normal lung functions in babies.
- Fluids in the lungs: Certain babies are either born with or develop a condition where fluids accumulate in the lungs. This inflicts a lot of damage to the lungs and leads to such diseases.
- Respiratory Infections: Some babies are likely to acquire lung infections from certain disease causing viruses. This largely handicaps the normal lung functions.
- Heart conditions: Abnormal blood circulation in the heart also stimulates lung diseases in newborns. If the heart is unable to regulate the flow of blood to the lungs properly, then the chances of such diseases increase by leaps and bounds.
- Inhaling harmful foreign materials: Certain particles often affect the health of the lungs tremendously. Exposure to meconium during delivery might result in the inflammations that potentially injure the lung tissues.
- Nutrition deficiencies: If an infant's body lacks vital nutrients, it may result in a condition of malnutrition. Lack of vitamin A may cause chronic lung diseases.
Chronic Lung Diseases are usually recoverable with early detection and appropriate treatment. However, one needs to meticulously cater to the health needs of the baby, in order to ensure complete recovery and avert recurrence.
Tonsillitis, in the easiest terms, is the swelling of tonsils in our throat that is accompanied by symptoms like throat pain, difficulty in swallowing/ drinking, altered voice and fever etc.
As in the case of most infections, the occurrence of tonsillitis is more common in children due to relatively lower immunity and habits that invite infections. Let's take a look at the first line of defence when you have a cranky child with swollen tonsils.
1. Make your child gargle with salty warm water: This treatment is most helpful in any infection in the mouth. Add half teaspoonful of salt to a glass of warm water and make the child gargle with the mixture as many times in the day as possible (to a maximum of 5 times). Continue till the condition prevails.
Make sure the child spits out the water and not drinks it.
2. Antibiotics: Consult the ent specialist and have the antibiotics if it is a bacterial cause as per the doctor. Take the alternative treatment prescribed in case of other causes. The entire course of medication should be completed even if the kid gets better sooner to eliminate all traces of bacteria.
3. Painkiller/numbing lozenges: Painkillers that are prescribed by the doctor can be given to ease the pain. Same is the case with lozenges but care should be taken that he/she should not have too many of these.
4. Allow him/her to take rest: It does help in a betterment of the condition!
5. Give warm (not hot) soothing food: Soup, ginger honey mixture, ginger tea can help soothe the inflamed tonsils in most cases. The condition, more often than not, gets better within 7-10 days.
Common Myths about Allergy and Asthma
Allergy and asthma are very common in India and the Asian subcontinent. Allergies have a significant impact on quality of life.
Myth 1 Allergy-related diseases are uncommon
Reality: Incidence of allergy-related diseases have doubled in the past few decades.
1 in 3 people suffers allergies at some time in their life.
1 in 10 people are suffering from Asthma.
1 in 100 has life threatening allergy known as anaphylaxis.
Myth 2 Allergies are harmless
Reality: Allergies negatively impact the quality of life for example tiredness, irritability, poor quality of sleep, poor scholastic performance in children.
Allergies to food, drugs and insect sting can cause a severe systemic reaction that can lead to death.
Myth 3 Moving to another place can cure Allergies
Reality: Moving away from the source of allergen may improve your allergy symptoms. But these allergy symptoms reappear after some time as allergic peoples prone to develop new allergies.
Myth 4 All Children grow out of their Asthma
Reality: Asthma can persist; some children have asthma symptoms that improve or disappear during adolescence, whereas other will worsen. Severe or severe asthma tend to remain much the same as an adult.
Myth 5 Allergy drugs are dangerous and make you drowsy
Reality: Non-drowsy antihistamines are readily available, rarely make people drowsy.
Myth 6 Damp houses are just as healthy as dry houses
Reality: Damp houses have higher mould content than dry homes and indoor mould is a common cause of perennial allergic rhinitis, sinusitis, bronchitis as well as asthma.
Myth 7 Colours and preservatives are a common cause of asthma
Reality: preservatives like sodium metabisulfite (220,221,222) in wine,dried fruits,vinegar,grapes and some fruit salad can worsen,but do not cause asthma. Inhalation of small amount sulphur dioxide may cause a reflex contraction of your airways. Monosodium glutamate may trigger asthma in some people ,but researchers have shown that it is relatively a rare problem

Grand Valley State University is an American university. Allendale, Michigan is home to Grand Valley's main campus, established in 1960, situated on 1,237 acres 12 miles west of Grand Rapids. Classes are also offered at the university's Pew Campus in Grand Rapids, Meijer Campus in Holland, and through centers at Muskegon and Traverse City established in cooperation with local community colleges.
As of July 2006:
- Seidman College of Business
- College of Community and Public Services
- College of Education
- College of Liberal Arts and Sciences
- Padnos College of Engineering and Computing
- College of Health Professions
- Kirkhof College of Nursing
- College of University-wide Interdisciplinary Initiatives
During the 1970s, Grand Valley used a multiple college concept: "College of Arts and Sciences", "Thomas Jefferson College", "William James College", and "College IV". The academic programs were placed in divisions from 1982 to 2004. The modern incarnation of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences came from the merger of the Social Sciences, Arts & Humanities and Science & Mathematics Divisions.
- Thomas J. Haas (2006-present)
- Mark Murray (2001-2006)
- Arend Lubbers (1969-2001)
- James Zumberge (1962-1969)
Grand Valley has four campuses; the main campus in Allendale and three satellite campuses in the surrounding area.
Allendale campusEdit
This is the University's main campus, opened in 1960, and is the location of most of the university's programs. M-45 links the campus in rural Allendale to S 31 to the west and Grand Rapids, Michigan to the east. The football stadium (Lubbers Stadium) is located here as well as all other athletic facilities for the school's 19 varsity sports.
Pew Grand Rapids campusEdit
The Pew Grand Rapids Campus is located in downtown Grand Rapids. It includes the Richard DeVos Center, L.V. Eberhard Center, Cook-DeVos Center for Health Sciences, The Depot (houses the Michigan Small Business and Technology Development headquarters), Keller Engineering Laboratories, Peter F. Secchia Hall (housing), and Winter Hall (housing).
Muskegon campusEdit
GVSU has three locations in Muskegon:
- Stevenson Center for Higher Education at Muskegon Community College, which offers several graduate and undergraduate programs.
- Lake Michigan Center, which houses the Annis Water Resources Institute.
- Michigan Alternative Renewable Energy Center.
- The Michigan Alternative and Renewable Energy Center (MAREC) is the first fully integrated demonstration facility for distributed generation of electricity using alternative and renewable energy technologies in the United States.
Lake Michigan Center and Michigan Alternative Renewal Energy Center are located along Shoreline Drive in downtown Muskegon.
Holland Meijer campusEdit
The Meijer Campus in Holland houses continuing education programs. The land was donated to the university by the Meijer family. A Meijer store is located nearby.
Grand Valley has two carillons.
- Beckering Family Carillon (2000): Located in the Pew Campus, adjacent to the Steelcase Library.
- Cook Carillon (1994): Located on the Main Allendale Campus, near Kirkhof Center and Cook-DeWitt Center.
Interurban Transit Partnership operates several The Rapid bus routes under contract with the university. The public can ride these buses by paying the fare, but rides are free to Grand Valley students, faculty and staff on all Rapid routes while classes are in session.
The Rapid bus to the downtown (Grand Rapids) campus is numbered the "50", while another bus, the "37", takes students to off-campus apartment buildings. This bus was originally numbered the "36", which has led to a petition by several Grand Valley students to get the number changed back to its original "36".
Grand Valley supports 19 Varsity teams in the following sports: baseball, men's and women's basketball, men's and women's cross country, football, men's and women's golf, women's soccer, softball, men's and women's swimming and diving, men's and women's tennis, men's and women's indoor and outdoor track, and women's volleyball. Grand Valley Athletics has recently enjoyed great success with three team (volleyball, women's basketball, and football) and several individual Division II National Championships in 2005-06. GVSU's athletic program has also won the National Association of Collegiate Directors of Athletics (NACDA) Directors' Cup in 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007, and 2008 after finishing second the two previous years (2002 & 2003). The Director's Cup is awarded to the top athletic program in each NCAA division based on team overall finishes. Grand Valley is the first NCAA DII school east of the Mississippi to win this prestigious award.
Tim Selgo is the Athletic Director for Grand Valley. Tim was hired on February 12, 1996 as the fifth AD and has put his own stamp of leadership on the GVSU athletic department. A promoter of a well-rounded athletic department, Selgo has been a key figure in the Lakers' rise to national prominence in Division II athletics.

They went to their first National Title game in 2001 losing to the University of North Dakota.

Coach Deanne Scanlon was voted the Tachikara/AVCA D2 National Coach of the Year for her efforts in guiding the Lakers. The Lakers have a 20-6 overall record for the NCAA D2 Playoffs and are currently in a streak of 13 straight years with winning seasons.
Women's basketballEdit
The GVSU women's basketball team won their first NCAA Division II National Championship in the 2005-2006 season with a 58-52 win over American International College.

The GVSU mens' 2005-2006 basketball team had their outstanding season cut short when they were upset early in the NCAA D2 Regional Playoffs. GV men were ranked NO. 4 in the Nation in the final poll heading into the playoffs. The men ended their season with a 27-4 mark and second year coach Ric Wesley was named the BCAM College Coach of the Year for his efforts. Ric has lead the Lakers to a 45-14 record over his initial two years and it is the best two year total of any basketball coach in their first two years at GV.
Men's ice hockeyEdit
GVSU has had a hockey team since the mid 70's. Since the NCAA does not offer Division II ice hockey, GVSU participates in the American Collegiate Hockey Association and will participate in the Great Midwestern Hockey League in 2006-2007, which has produced the ACHA DII champion in 2004, 2005, and 2006. Grand Valley previously was a member of the Great Lakes Intercollegiate Hockey Association and was the GLIHA Tournament Champions in 2003 and placed second in 2005. The team is not affiliated with the athletic department, but is run by the office of student life, but still maintains the third-highest average attendance of all GVSU sports (behind Football and Basketball).
GVSU supports a non-varsity coed crew team. Each year, the team travels around the nation and world to compete against other top collegiate crew teams. In addition to facing storied crew teams such as Michigan, Notre Dame, and many others. Each spring, GVSU hosts the Lubbers Cup Regatta on the Grand River on GVSU's Allendale campus. The cup is named for the former GVSU president, Arend Lubbers.
GVSU has a non-varsity wrestling team which has done well in National Collegiate Wrestling Association nationals the past few years. The 2006 NCWA national championships, which were held March 3-4, 2006 at the Deltaplex, were hosted by GVSU. GVSU won the team championship with 188 points.
Women's soccerEdit
GVSU field an NCAA Division II women's soccer team. The Lakers finished the 2005 season with a GLIAC Championship and a trip to the NCAA Elite Eight - the best finish in school history.
Community outreachEdit
Special programs at Grand Valley include:
- Autism Center
- Charter schools
- Center for Business Ethics
- Dorothy A. Johnson Center for Philanthropy and Non-Profit Leadership
- Hauenstein Center for Presidential Studies
- Michigan Small business and Technology Development Center
- Jay Van Andel Global Trade Center

Homeland securityEdit
Jonathan White, professor and director of the School of Criminal Justice, works with the federal government on homeland security issues as the executive director of the Homeland Defense Initiative.
The university owns and operates a PBS station, WGVU, and AM and FM radio stations with the same call letters, which feature a mixture of jazz, blues, and news, including local and NPR programming.
The Grand Valley Lanthorn is the student newspaper, published on Mondays (as of Fall 2005) and Thursdays. WCKS-AM is the student radio station. GVBN is the student-run television station on channel 7 on the university cable system.
Grand Valley Comic Association is another outlet for creativity. Publishing twice a year and frequently on its website, the association produces a pulp comic of collective stories. All artwork, writing, editing, inking and lettering is collaborated by Grand Valley students.
Food serviceEdit
Aramark operates all food services in Allendale and Grand Rapids.
Public safetyEdit
The Department of Public Safety is the police department for the Allendale Campus. While the department is self-empowered to enforce its jurisdiction, many officers are deputized by the Ottawa County Sheriff's Department. Because Allendale doesn't have its own police department, the Grand Valley State University Police handle cases anywhere in Ottawa County, mainly in Allendale and the area surrounding the campus.
The department handles other security issues, such as parking and driving violations, community policing, and lost and found.
Allendale's fire department serves the campus.
Pew Campus Security handles security issues and contacts Grand Rapids police when necessary.
University Bookstore serves the Grand Valley State University community. University Bookstore is owned and operated by Grand Valley State University.
In 1969, the Grand Valley Lanthorn, the student-run newspaper on campus, printed an issue containing several vulgarities and obscenities. After complaints from some at Grand Valley State College and the surrounding communities, the Ottawa County, Michigan sheriff arrested the editor, and the prosecutor closed down the newspaper office. The university - then a college - sued the sheriff and prosecutor for closing the Lanthorn offices. Eventually, Michigan's Attorney General settled the case out of court, ruling in favor of Grand Valley State College.
In 1970, shortly after the shootings at Kent State University, Ohio, Vietnam War protests intensified on campus. In response, President Lubbers closed the college for three days to have discussions on what the college should do. A public forum was held in the college's fieldhouse, which was attended by a vast majority of the Grand Valley community. Everyone was granted five minutes to speak, but by the end of the day, only the most radical of students remained, who demanded that the college be shut down for the rest of the year in protest. President Lubbers refused to discuss that option, which brought chants of "Power to the People". The situation was ended by President Lubbers when he met with the leaders of the radical students, and explained to them that the power over the university does not rest with students, but with the administration and board, and both of those bodies refused to close the college for the rest of the year.
In 1994, a student organization founded early that academic year, The Harpoon, publishing the eponymous and self-described humor rag, printed an ersatz letter from GVSU President Arend Lubbers to the president of Western Michigan University declaring war on WMU. Despite being an obvious hoax, Student Senate suspended The Harpoon's funding citing unauthorized use of the university logo. The Harpoon's members spearheaded a political takeover of Student Senate that year in an effort to have their funding reinstated. After three years, the HARPOON ceased publication.
In 2001, the reversal of then-president Arend Lubbers' stated intention to offer benefits to same-sex partners of GVSU employees was met with protest from some faculty and students, and accusations of undue influence by major donors to the college. The point was made moot shortly thereafter by a state law lobbied for by those same donors, outlawing such benefits from any governmental subsidiary or institution receiving tax dollar support.
In 2005, College Republicans group sponsored an affirmative action bake sale by charging different prices based on the person's race and gender (with lower prices for members of suspect classes). This prompted criticism and even accusations of racism from many students and faculty, and resulted in the Student Senate voting to cut off funding for the organization for the remainder of the semester, and the organization voting to remove from office their president and vice president, who were responsible for the activity.

Fortune Communications, a subsidiary of JWT, has been appointed the communications agency for Radio Today, the radio arm of the India Today Group. Fortune Communications piped to the post some established names like Grey and Contract to win this business, its first big win in Delhi. Industry sources have pegged the account size at Rs 13-15 crore. However, Anil Srivatsa, COO, Radio Today Broadcasting Ltd, stressed that they were yet to decide on a budget for the account and refrained from putting a figure to it.
Commenting on this win, Harjot Narang, Senior Brand Partner and Branch Manager for Fortune Delhi, said, "The radio business is at a critical juncture in India. With new radio channels opening up every other month, the industry as a whole risks becoming an undifferentiated mass, which will find it difficult to move from the current passive listenership to the desired goal of listeners actually seeking out a particular station or a programme."
"Hence, our key challenge will be to position Radio Today initiatives in a way that they stand out, hook listeners and pull them into spending active time with us," Narang further said.
Commenting on the win, he said, "The Radio Today business is extremely exciting for Fortune Delhi, as it is an opportunity for us to use the visibility and differentiation that we display through our work, to make us the team that more and more discerning clients will want to actively engage with."

For many generations, women have gone to considerable lengths to choose skin care products that appear to reduce signs of aging. Moisturizers, cleansers, anti-aging treatments, anti-wrinkle creams, acne products, organic skincare, microdermabrasion treatments – the list goes on. With hundreds of products on the market, how do you know which one will work for you? And the most important question, one that many people fail to ask themselves – what EXACTLY am I putting on my face?
These days, most women, and a rapidly increasing number of men are doing their best to defeat the aging process. Everyone wants a clear, youthful looking complexion and clean skin. Everyone wants to minimize fine lines and wrinkles, or have refreshed, renewed and invigorated skin. But at what cost? Many researchers are becoming desperately concerned about the long term safety of the ingredients that companies use in skin care moisturizers and other cosmetics. We must remember that what we are hoping to do to the skin on our faces is completely un-natural, and not what our evolutionary history has intended. Other than for cosmetic purposes, keeping the skin on our faces looking young makes no sense at all.
So what are the magic ingredients? The vast majority of skincare products contain parabens – synthetic preservatives. Any consumer can check labels and see their extensive usage. Parabens, phthalates and other chemicals act like estrogen and the effect on the human endocrine system cause changes in breast and prostate tissues that predispose the cells to cancer. It is 'leave-on' products such as facial makeup and skin lotions that are causing the most concern, due to the long exposure time, and opportunity for migration via the skin into the bloodstream. In truth, there is no real reason for companies to use these chemicals, either in production or as a preservative. But we all know why they continue to do so.
It is because they are cheap. Cosmetics and personal care products require preservatives or they will become contaminated with bacteria, and it would be irresponsible for companies not to use preservatives.The choice of which ones to use is especially important because this family of ingredients is, like fragrances, one of the leading causes on contact dermatitis – and, we now suspect, could potentially cause long term health problems. Furthermore, cosmetics are not required to be tested for safety prior to being put into commerce.
If they decided to spend a little less on advertising and expensive packaging, they could spend far more on safe, natural ingredients. Skin does rejuvenate naturally, but if we need to help it, we should also do so naturally. Avoid the parabens, and check labels for grapefruit seed extract, phenoxyethanol, potassium sorbate, sorbic acid, tocopherol (vitamin E), vitamin A (retinyl), and vitamin C (ascorbic acid). These are the ingredients that are safest, and while people are completely sold by expensive TV advertising, they should really take a little time and effort in their pursuit of the perfect skin care product.


text: SAN FRANCISCO -- IBM ( IBM) landed a large outsourcing contract that bolsters IBM's lead as a high-end systems integrator.Big Blue's Global Services unit won a 10-year contract with Bristol-Myers Squibb ( BMY) Thursday valued at $324 million. Shares of IBM were up $1.41, or 1.1%, to $128.96 on the news, as it neared its 52-week high of $129.99 set just a week ago. The stock has appreciated 32% since early January, when macroeconomic fears pushed it down to $97.59. It now trades at 15 times 2008 earnings and 13.5 times 2009 earnings. "This is a good win for IBM and a great extension of the relationship with BMY," Technology Business Research analyst Eugene Zakharov said in an email response to questions Thursday. Given market trends and the value of the contract, "this deal with BMY is very important for IBM" as 10-year deals have become rare, Zakharov stated. Just over 50 IBM clients have signed 10-year contracts in the past four years, with an average value of $110 million. "Human-resources outsourcing deals of this type that include consulting, systems integration and outsourcing can be very profitable," Zakharov stated. IBM will build a human resources system that then provides a recurring revenue stream for maintenance. The deal includes integration of application software from developer SAP ( SAP). IBM competes primarily against Accenture ( ACN) for the type of services covered by this deal to automate and re-engineer a system. Hewlett-Packard ( HPQ) also is serving notice that it wants to compete in that space with its recently announced buyout of Electronic Data Systems ( EDS).

1965 Pontiac GTO
Rolling chassis only project car... engine no longer available.
I bought this car earlier this year with plans to restore but I found something else i want so i have to let something go. I hadn'tstartedon this carother than clean andorganize all the pieces.This 1965 GTO is originally from Maine and I had ordered the PHS documentation prior to purchasing. The caris a real GTO,389, 4bbl,4 speed, power brake, and power steering car. The car has some rust on the bottom of the rear quarters and a small spot just behind the front fender and around the rear fender lip. The worst part is the around the front windshield but all areas are very reparable and the body is really straight. The prior owner replaced the front floorpans.
This is not the car's original color, the original color is Night Watch Blue.
The car was purchased in New York. Many states do not require a title to transfer ownership of these older cars. According to Ohio Title Bureaucars of this age only require a signed registration andthe completion of a VIN form to generate new title/ownership.I have the signed registration from previous owner.
Can't find many real Pontiac GTOs anymore and this one is ready to be restored or just made into a great hot rod!
I can alsoprovide a contact for transportation. Transporter, enclosed trailer, $1.35 per mile anywhere in the U.S.

A difficult wood with which to work, ebony is also an exceedingly attractive one as this hand carved crocodile attests with its exotic and realistic hide. Bone teeth and eyes complete the sculpture. These figures date from the early to mid 20th C, possibly of Indian origin, and are frequently found with lost eyes and teeth, making this one a choice specimen.
