Dennis Gallant's session on the major challenges affecting the independent broker-dealer industry had the full attention of senior executives in the audience.
The presentation, titled "Attacking the Challenges of Running an Independent Firm Today" and delivered on Tuesday at the FSI OneVoice Conference in San Diego, focused on the results of a survey deployed by FSI prior to the conference. The survey sought to identify and rank by importance the issues with which broker-dealers are grappling.
Gallant, proprietor of Gallant Distribution Consulting, began by arguing that independent broker-dealer advisors are "the best advisors in the market" and independent broker-dealers themselves are superbly positioned for growth.
The IBD channel provides the greatest flexibility for advisors to meet client needs, he said. They are more planning-oriented; are the best practitioners in delivering retirement income; lead the market in serving more retirement income clients; serve a broader range of client affluence than peer channels; and are more innovative, with the pool or bucket philosophy for income management developed out of the IBD marketplace.
"The issue is that the model was designed in the days of execution and trading," Gallant said. "How do you effectively support all the things an advisor needs today in order to compete? Wirehouses are under the same pressures and have decided to focus on mainly high-end advisors, which is bringing in revenue now but is not sustainable long term."
Gallant noted the growing demand for advice and the need to recover and rebuild portfolios. Investors are seeking assistance and are unsure where to turn to for help. The complexity of consumer needs favors using an experienced advisor, he added, and a supply and demand imbalance is occurring in conjunction with a shrinking pool of skilled advisors.
"Independent BDs are the largest advisor channel by number of advisors," he said. "Fully 71% of IBD firms surveyed believed independent BDs will continue to grow and gain market share from wirehouses and other channels."
He then revealed the top IBD challenges, ranked in descending order of importance according to the survey's results:
- Regulatory environment
- Advisor recruitment
- Achieving profitability
- The market/economic environment
- Delivering effective technology solutions
- Advisor retention
- Satisfying advisors
- Retaining qualified home office talent
- Building and maintaining infrastructure
- Growing competition
- Attracting qualified home office talent
- Clearing firm support
"I'm not surprised by any of these. The key is to identify the ones you can change and influence," he said. "I don't see a let-up in the regulatory and recruiting environments anytime soon, but advisor retention and attracting and retaining qualified home office can be effectively addressed. The problem is that they were way down on the list." The economics are shifting from the recruiting of advisors to the retention of advisors, he added, and attracting and retaining qualified home office staff directly impacts advisor retention.
Moving to technology, Gallant noted the horse race between firms, but said the question becomes how their advisors are using it. Are they getting all they can from the investment?
"The level of advisor production directly impacts profitability. The home office constantly releases new technology, but advisors can't use it, so they're not getting all they could."
As for recruiting, "no one is really saying recruiting is meeting expectations."
"My big thing is this," Gallant said, referring to advisory service and support. "It ranks forth as a priority and on actions taken. Firms are expanding their corporate RIA resources, but getting advisors to transition to fees is still a challenge. They are expanding their platforms and evaluating the benefits and trade-offs of proprietary, private label and TAMP efforts. The industry has focused on creating an advisory offering. It now needs to focus efforts on helping advisors best use it."
None of the broker-dealer respondents are making what Gallant called "monumental shifts."
"They are incremental changes and they're not making a lot of headway," he concluded. "If I do this survey a year from now, I feel I'll get the same answers."

Given the girth and weight of Oracle's efforts to focus on the OpenWorld side of its annual developer and user conference program, it is perhaps easy to miss some of the extended news elements emanating from the JavaOne side of the firm's now Sun-enriched technology stack.

Among the technologies not receiving all the attention they deserve right now is M2M, or machine-to-machine to afford the sector its full term.
As many readers will know, M2M technology is designed to support wired or wireless communication between machines and is used in telemetry, robotics, remote monitoring, status tracking, data collection, remote control, road traffic control, offsite diagnostics, and even in telemedicine applications.
Senior VP Judson Althoff was quoted recently explaining how his company has now built "an ecosystem of solutions" for a new big data-oriented device-to-datacenter world with embedded Java for intelligent devices along with integrated middleware for connectivity concerns and Complex Event Processing (CEP) capabilities to facilitate real-time analysis of events and data — all of this is backed up with (guess what, this is Oracle after all) a proven database that can scale.
Oracle used JavaOne last year to announce Oracle Java Embedded Suite 7.0 as a packaged offering for application development across a wide range of M2M-centric embedded systems including network appliances, healthcare devices, home gateways and routers, and large peripheral devices such as multi-function printers.
"The rapid growth of the 'Internet of Things' in industries such as home networking, medical devices, energy grid management, industrial automation, M2M, and wireless devices is increasing demand for the delivery and deployment of standard-based applications which are capable of collecting and managing data and data traffic from numerous embedded devices," said Nandini Ramani, vice president of Engineering, Java Client and Mobile Platforms, Oracle.
"Oracle Java Embedded Suite allows customers to use standard middleware components to more quickly develop applications that can aggregate, store, and transmit data securely to and from these resource-constrained devices and helps ensure timely and low-cost data concentration for M2M or M2M-like systems," she continued.
The Eclipse Foundation is equally positive about the growth of M2M and hosts the dedicated http://m2m.eclipse.org/ portal to champion developers' interests in this technology zone.
Eclipse's M2M vision hinges around the development of frameworks that can move away from the fact that a vast majority of today's M2M solutions are designed in an ad hoc manner. Depending on the business domain and on the targeted platform, "very different and often incompatible architectures" are implemented, says Eclipse.
"We want to provide an embedded platform that M2M-enables embedded devices and exposes high-level API for device management, wired/wireless communication. We believe that one of the biggest hurdles to create industrial M2M solutions is the complexity to develop the applications that are embedded on the communicating devices on the field. There are many domains with business opportunities for M2M solutions where people do not want to have to learn a complex language such as C, when all they want to do is manipulate a few data structures and send them to a remote server."
Eclipse advocates the lightweight Lua embeddable scripting language as a means to simplify the development of embedded applications, thus following the path of the mobile and game development industries.
According to Lua.org, "Lua combines simple procedural syntax with powerful data description constructs based on associative arrays and extensible semantics. Lua is dynamically typed, runs by interpreting bytecode for a register-based virtual machine, and has automatic memory management with incremental garbage collection, making it ideal for configuration, scripting, and rapid prototyping."
The M2M space is growing fast and the developer opportunity is expanding. If you don't believe Oracle, then why not believe Eclipse? Either way, just believe it.

Pneumocystis pneumonia (PCP) is a form of pneumonia. It affects people who have a weakened immune system. PCP is the most common serious infection among people with AIDS .
PCP is caused by a fungus. Most believe that the fungus is spread in the air, but it is not clear if the fungus lives in soil or elsewhere. In healthy people, the fungus can exist in the lungs without causing pneumonia. However, in people who have a weakened immune system, the fungus can spread and cause a lung infection.
Risk Factors
A weakened immune system can put you at risk for PCP. The immune system may be weakened in people who:
- Have AIDS
- Have cancer
- Are getting treatment for cancer
- Are using medications that may weaken the immune system
- Have a history of PCP
Symptoms of PCP usually develop over the course of a few weeks or months. The main symptoms of PCP are:
- Shortness of breath
- Fever
- Dry cough
- Tightness or pain in the chest
- Weakness
See your doctor immediately if you have any these symptoms.
Your doctor will ask about your symptoms and medical history. To confirm PCP, a sample of mucus from your lungs will be examined under the microscope. Your doctor will collect samples by giving you either:
- A vapor treatment to make you cough
- A bronchoscopy
Treatment depends on the severity of the infection.
- Oral or IV anti-infectious agents will be given
- Oral corticosteroids may be given if breathing problems occur
- Supportive treatments, such as oxygen, to help with breathing
PCP infections can cause damage to your lungs and affect your overall health. Preventing a PCP infection is an important first step. A healthy immune system is the best prevention for PCP. See your doctor as recommended to help monitor your immune system. If you have HIV, follow your treatment program to keep your immune system healthy. This will help prevent a PCP infection.
If you are at risk for PCP, your doctor may recommend that you take antibiotic medication to prevent getting it. Take preventative medication as recommended, do not skip doses. PCP prevention with medication may be recommended if:
- You have HIV and your CD4 cell count falls below 200
- You have a history of PCP
- You plan to use immune suppressing medications for a long period of time
- You have other conditions such as a temperature above 100˚F (37.7°C), or a fungal infection in your mouth or throat
Talk to your doctor about a pneumococcal vaccine . This only protects you from a different kind of pneumonia. It will not prevent you from getting PCP.

Multifamily Housing
A version of this article appears in the May/June 2010 issue of Home Energy Magazine.
May 03, 2010
Over 30% of the U.S. population and over 25% of U.S. households live in multifamily (MF) buildings. Yet when we talk about possible energy efficiency improvements in the residential sector, we seldom think of opportunities outside of single-family (SF) homes, and we almost never consider technologies that are appropriate only for MF homes. In fact, almost every study of the potential for energy efficiency in the existing residential sector either excludes MF buildings or includes them as a nonspecific part of the aggregate residential sector. U.S. Multifamily Energy Efficiency Potential by 2020, a report prepared by the Benningfield Group, is meant to help national and regional policymakers understand achievable energy efficiency potential in the country's existing MF sector. The report is the most comprehensive survey of potential energy efficiency savings in the multifamily/apartment market conducted to date. It provides a clear and compelling case for scaling up energy efficiency retrofit activity for the 26 million apartments located in the United States, including those that are home to some nine million families below the poverty level, and four million elderly households. (See Figure 1). Figure 1. There are 26 million apartments located in the United States, including those that are home to ...

Knee replacement, also called arthroplasty, is a surgical procedure to replace a knee damaged by disease or injury.
Recovery may take several weeks to months depending on your overall health.
Reasons for Procedure
This is done if you have chronic pain and stiffness in the knee joint that limits activities.
Knee replacement surgery is most often done to:
- Ease knee pain and disability due to arthritis or previous severe knee injury
- Correct a knee deformity
Possible Complications
Problems from the procedure are rare, but all procedures have some risk. Your doctor will review potential problems, like:
- Infection
- Excess bleeding
- Swelling
- Blood clots
- Chronic weakness in the knee joint
- Worsening or unchanged pain
Factors that may increase the risk of complications include:
- Smoking
- Poor nutrition
- History of blood clots
- Long-term illness
- Use of certain medications
What to Expect
Prior to Procedure
Your doctor will likely do the following:
Before surgery, you will need to:
- Arrange for a ride home.
- Arrange for help at home while you recover.
- Talk to your doctor about any allergies you have.
- Ask your doctor about assistive devices you will need.
- If you are overweight, lose weight. This will help to decrease the amount of stress on your new joint.
- Install safety equipment in the bathroom, shower, and on the stairs.
- Prepare a bedroom on the first floor if possible. Climbing stairs will be difficult at first.
Talk to your doctor about any medications, herbs, or supplements you are taking. You may be asked to stop taking some medications up to 1 week before the procedure.
Do not eat or drink anything after midnight the day before your surgery, unless told otherwise by your doctor.
Anesthesia will keep you pain-free and comfortable during the procedure. General anesthesia will keep you asleep during the procedure. Regional anesthesia will numb the lower part of the body.
Description of the Procedure
A cut will be made in your skin. The damaged cartilage and bone will be removed. The remaining bone will be prepared to receive the new joint made from material such as plastic and metal. The artificial joint will be placed in the proper position. It may be cemented within the bone. The incision will be closed with staples. A drain will be left in to allow extra fluid to flow out.
How Long Will It Take?
About 2 hours.
How Much Will It Hurt?
Anesthesia will block pain during the procedure. You will have pain after the procedure. Ask your doctor about medication to help manage pain.
Average Hospital Stay
This procedure is done in a hospital setting. The usual length of stay is 3-4 days. Your doctor may choose to keep you longer if complications arise.
Post-procedure Care
After the procedure, you will be taken to recovery and monitored closely. The staff may give you:
- Pain medication
- Antibiotics to prevent infection
- Medication that prevents blood clots
While you are recovering at the hospital, you may need to use a continuous passive motion machine, which is designed to:
- Slowly move your knee
- Restore function
- Decrease swelling
- Improve circulation
During your recovery, you will need to:
- Move your foot and ankle to increase blood flow back to your heart.
- Wear support stockings. These may help prevent blood clots from forming in your legs.
- Work with a physical therapist. You may start the day after surgery. You will learn safe ways to move your knee and support your weight.
- You will learn how to use a walker, crutches, or other support devices.
To help ensure a smooth recovery at home, take these steps:
- Start working with a physical therapist once you are instructed to. The therapist will focus on balance, range-of-motion, and strength training.
- Maintain a healthy weight after surgery.
- Follow your doctor's instructions.
Within 6 weeks, you should be able to go back to light activities and driving. You may feel a soft clicking in the joint when walking or bending. Continue to work with the physical therapist. Water-based exercises may help to improve joint pain, swelling around the knee, and range of motion.
Antibiotics may be needed before certain dental procedures or surgeries now that you have an artificial joint. This will prevent possible infections from entering the bloodstream. Let your dentist or doctor know that you have an artificial joint.
Call Your Doctor
Contact your doctor if your recovery is not progressing as expected or you develop complications such as:
- Signs of infection, including fever and chills
- Redness, swelling, increasing pain, excessive bleeding, or discharge from the incision site
- Swelling, redness, or pain in your legs, calves, or feet
- Pain that you cannot control with the medications you have been given
- Nausea and vomiting
- Cough, shortness of breath, or chest pain
- A chalky white, blue, or black appearance in your leg, foot, or toes
- Numbness or tingling in your leg, foot, or toes
- Pain, burning, urgency, frequency of urination, or persistent bleeding in the urine
If you think you have an emergency, call for emergency medical services right away.

Crew of the Arctic Sunrise visit the abandoned Russian settlement / coalmine of Pyramiden, on Svalbard. Visiting the bizarre and surreal environment can leave one bewildered and upset at the enormous amounts of junk, wreckage and garbage left out in the open to rot and pollute the surrounding pristine environment. The crew were taken on a guided tour of the base and saw what were once homes, a swimming pool, gym and music room and a bar and museum, seemingly abandoned in a hurry. The actual mine is closed but the smell of coal permeates the air. The meltwater from the mountains carry segments of coal, dirt and other debris into the bay. An international crew is currently on a month-long expedition in the icy Arctic. Greenpeace is campaigning for a global sanctuary to be declared around the uninhabited area of the North Pole.07/04/2012

This was my outfit that I wore on Sunday during my snow day trip to the Wellcome Collection. I've recently been layering coats as I've just been way too cold to wear one. Twice the bulkiness but twice the warmth, I'm not complaining. I love this Topshop jumper, which I sadly bought years and years ago now so I doubt you could still get your mitts on it. It's really odd because it used to smell absolutely horrendous, like a really metallicy weird smell but it seems to have subsided over the years and now smells normal. What a boring story about a jumper! I wore my beloved super cosy tights when I went out in this outfit but when I snapped them I wore my usual 15 denier Primark ones.
Anyway, I obviously took these before I cant back to my parents as it has my bedroom as the background. I have some scheduled posts for the week until I return back to London in a week or so. I have bought my tripod with me though so I might film some videos or something to pass the time. The snow is pretty bad up here which is nice as it means I don't feel guilty staying in my house all doing absolutely nothing. I'm currently catching up on all my TV shows that I've missed in recent week's and a box set binge is definitely on the cards.

So you call yourself a foodie, huh?
OK, quick, how many whole grains can you name in 1 minute?
Time's up!
- If you named zero
- You're probably still eating Fruit Loops for breakfast and need to acquaint yourself with Kashi (no, it's not a country in Middle East).
- If you named 1-5
- You're actually reading your cooking magazines instead of just using them for coasters. Good for you!
- If you named 6-10
- Then you likely have posters of all the Iron Chefs in your bedroom.
- If you named 11 or more
- Then you either just Googled "whole grains" or you are a true smarty-pants and find you sometimes have difficulty getting along with others.
- amaranth
- barley
- buckwheat
- bulgur
- corn
- farro
- grano
- kamut
- millet
- oats
- quinoa (keen-wa)
- rice
- rye
- sorghum/milo
- spelt
- teff
- triticale (trit-i-kay-lee)
- wheat
- wild rice
So why should you eat whole grains?
- They contain complex carbs, which your body digests more slowly, keeping you satiated longer.
- They are associated with a decreased risk of cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and stroke.
- They contain beneficial vitamins and are high in calcium, which is needed to build strong bones.
- They taste great.
When purchasing bulgur, buy those packages labeled either "bulgur" or "bulgur wheat." (It might also be spelled "bulghur.") Do not however buy "cracked wheat" which has not been parboiled and takes much longer to cook. I learned that the hard way.
This dish has a number of calcium-rich ingredients: bulgur, fennel, oranges, string beans, chick peas, nuts, and rosemary. Earthy beets, licorice-scented fennel, and sweet oranges, are enhanced by a warm and tangy fennel-honey-mustard vinaigrette. And it tastes even better the next day.
Would you like to participate in Beautiful Bones? You have until May 31st; the details are here.
Warm Bulgur Salad with Beets, Fennel, and Oranges
Serves 4
Print recipe only here.
1 cup uncooked medium coarse bulgur wheat
4 small beets, roasted and sliced
1 cup sliced green beans
1/2 cup diced fennel bulb
2 medium navel oranges, peeled, sectioned, and chopped
1 (15 oz.) can chickpeas, rinsed and drained
2 tablespoons toasted walnuts, pecans, or pistachios
Warm Fennel-Honey-Mustard Vinaigrette:
1/2 teaspoon fennel seeds, toasted
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
1/2 cup freshly squeezed orange juice (or from a carton)
1/2 teaspoon orange zest
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
2 teaspoons honey
2 teaspoons water
1/2 teaspoon minced fresh rosemary
salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Cut off beet tops, and clean beets. (If you're keeping the beet greens; submerge in cool water to release any dirt, then drain. Par-boil the greens by dropping them in boiling water for about 1 minute; remove and plunge into a bowl of ice water.) Shocking the greens like this will maintain their vibrant color. Drain, and store in an air-tight container in the refrigerator.
To roast the beets, wrap them in foil and place in a 400 degree oven for about 1 hour, or until tender when pricked with a fork. Let cool slightly; rub off skins. (You might want to wear gloves and an apron for this part). Slice and set aside.To make the bulgur, add 1 cup uncooked bulgur and 2 cups water to a medium sauce pan. Bring to a boil for 2 minutes, then simmer with the cover on for about 10 minutes, or until all of the water is absorbed and the bulgur is cooked (it should retain some firmness).
Meanwhile boil the string beans for 2-3 minutes, then plunge into a bowl of ice water. Drain and slice into 1-inch long pieces. Chop fennel and slice oranges; set aside.
To toast the walnuts, place in a small, dry skillet over medium. Shake pan handle to ensure even toasting, for 1-2 minutes or until slightly toasted and aromatic.
To make the vinaigrette, place anise seeds in a small, dry skillet over medium. Shake pan handle to ensure even toasting, for 1-2 minutes or until slightly toasted and aromatic. Add all other ingredients to skillet and keep over a low heat for about 1-2 minutes, whisking until well emulsified. Remove from heat and set aside.In a large bowl, toss together the cooked bulgur, vegetables, oranges, chickpeas, and nuts. Drizzle the dressing over the salad and toss gently until well coated. Sprinkle individual servings with toasted nuts and extra fresh minced rosemary, if desired.

Other Proposed Uses
The name of this herb literally means "Black-haired Mr. He," in reference to an ancient story of a Mr. He who restored his vitality, sexual potency, and youthful appearance by taking the herb now named after him. He shou wu is widely used in China for the traditional purpose of restoring black hair and other signs of youth.
Traditional Chinese herbal medicine ordinarily recommends the use of herbs in complex formulas, but He shou wu is also often taken as a single herb. He shou wu is often called fo ti; pure unprocessed root is named white fo ti, while herb boiled in black-bean liquid according to a traditional process is called red fo ti. The two forms are said to have somewhat different properties.
What Is He Shou Wu Used for Today?
He shou wu is widely marketed today as a general anti-aging herb, said to reduce cholesterol , prevent heart disease , prevent age-related loss of mental function , improve sleep , and extend life span. However, the evidence supporting these uses is far too preliminary to meaningfully indicate effectiveness for any of these proposed uses. 1-6
He shou wu is reputed to strengthen immunity ; however, one constituent of the herb, emodin, has shown some promise as an immune system suppressant! 7
Finally, He shou wu has a traditional reputation as a mild laxative . In support of this, it has been pointed out that emodin belongs to a family of chemicals called anthraquinones; other members of this family act as laxatives. However, animal research has failed to find any evidence that emodin itself has a laxative effect. 8
A typical dose of He shou wu is 3 g of the raw herb 3 times daily, or according to the label for processed extracts. For most purposes, the processed or "red" fo ti is said to be superior. However, the raw herb is said to be more effective for constipation.
Safety Issues
Detailed modern safety studies have not been performed on this herb. Immediate side effects are infrequent, primarily limited to mild diarrhea and the rare allergic reaction. Safety for young children, pregnant or nursing women, or those with severe kidney or liver disease has not been established.
Case reports relate use of a popular He shou wu product to liver inflammation. 9,10 However, it is not clear whether He shou wu herb itself was responsible; Asian herbal preparations of this type have frequently been found to contain unlisted toxic ingredients, either due to poor quality control, or deliberate adulteration. 11-14

Principal Proposed Uses
- Dyspepsia (in Herbal Combinations)
Other Proposed Uses
- Gastrointestinal Side Effects Caused by Medications
- Irritable Bowel Syndrome
Candytuft, also known as clown's mustard, is a white flowering plant found originally in Spain. It's a member of the Brassicaceae family, making it a relative of cabbage and broccoli. Traditionally, it was used in the treatment of arthritis, gout, enlarged heart, and asthma. The seeds, stems, roots, and leaves have all been used medicinally.
What is Candytuft Used For Today?
Candytuft is widely used in Germany for treatment of dyspepsia . This term indicates chronic digestive distress that occurs in the absence of any identifiable cause, such as an ulcer. Symptoms include stomach discomfort, gas, bloating, belching, appetite loss, and nausea.
Several studies, enrolling a total of over 600 participants, have found benefits for dyspepsia with use of a proprietary herbal combination therapy containing candytuft as the primary ingredient. 1-4,8
The product tested in these studies has undergone change over time. The original version included, along with candytuft, matricaria flower (chamomile), peppermint leaves , caraway, licorice root , and lemon balm . Subsequently, an augmented preparation was tested that utilized, in addition to the above, a mixture of angelica root, celandine , and milk thistle . This second preparation later became the one used by the manufacturer in lieu of the original. In the subsequent text, we shall refer to the first mixture as the "original" candytuft combination and the augmented one as the "newer" product.
Besides dyspepsia, candytuft combinations have shown potential for decreasing the gastrointestinal side effects caused by a variety of medications 5 and for reducing lower digestive tract symptoms of irritable bowel syndrome . 6
What is the Scientific Evidence for Candytuft?
An 8-week, double-blind study of 315 people with functional dyspepsia tested the newer candytuft product and found it significantly more effective than placebo. 8 This was a high quality study with adequate design and reporting, and its results provide a strong indication that the treatment actually works.
An earlier double-blind, placebo-controlled trial of 120 people with dyspepsia evaluated the original candytuft combination. 2 The design of this study was excessively complicated, but in essence it found that 4 weeks treatment with the product was more effective than placebo in reducing dyspepsia symptoms.
In another double-blind study, this one enrolling 60 people with dyspepsia, use of either the original or the newer candytuft herbal combination proved more effective than placebo. 1
Benefits with the original mixture were also seen in 2 other double-blind, placebo-controlled studies, enrolling a total of about 200 people. 4 In addition, a double-blind, comparative study found that both candytuft combinations were equally effective as the standard drug cisapride. 7
Safety Issues
In controlled clinical trials, use of the tested candytuft preparation has not resulted in any significant side effects. 3 Note that the studied preparation is manufactured in Germany under conditions that are more closely regulated than herbal manufacturing in the US. Formulations made outside of Germany might present unrecognized safety risks. Even with the tested product, comprehensive safety studies have not been performed. Safety for pregnant or nursing women, young children, or individuals with severe liver or kidney disease has not been established.

A skin ulcer is an open sore in the skin. Pyoderma gangrenosum is an uncommon form of skin ulcers. It usually occurs on the lower legs, but can occur anywhere on the skin.
Pyoderma gangrenosum is thought to be caused by a problem with the immune system. The immune system finds and attacks foreign items in the body like viruses. Sometimes the immune system attacks the body's own tissue. In this case, the immune system attacks an area of the skin.
Risk Factors
Pyoderma gangrenosum is more likely to occur in people who have other underlying medical conditions such as:
The main symptom of pyoderma gangrenosum is a painful skin ulcer. These ulcers may begin as small-irritated bumps from an injury. However, the ulcer can grow up to 7.9 in (inches) (20 cm [centimeters]). The ulcers often have purple edges that appear worn away.
Your doctor will ask about your symptoms and medical history. A physical exam will be done. You may be referred to a skin specialist. Pyoderma gangrenosum is diagnosed by its appearance. Your doctor will also want to rule out other conditions that can cause skin ulcers.
To look for other factors that could cause ulcers, your doctor may order:
- Sample of ulcer fluids—to look for infection or items that can cause infection
- Biopsy —a tissue sample examined under a microscope
- Blood tests
Talk with your doctor about the best treatment plan for you. Treatment options include:
Medications to treat pyoderma gangrenosum include:
- Oral corticosteroids
- Immunosuppressants
- Smaller ulcers may be treated with a topical steroid cream or an injection
You may need other medications to treat any underlying conditions
Preventing New Ulcers
Ulcers often begin at the site of injuries. Take precaution to prevent injuries when possible. Wear proper safety gear and avoid high impact or full contact activities.
See your doctor as soon as you notice a possible ulcer.

Other Proposed Uses
- Indigestion (especially when caused by Stress )
- Insomnia
Although catnip has a stimulating effect on virtually all felines, in humans it is traditionally used as a sleep aid. It has also been used for digestive and menstrual problems, as a uterine stimulant in childbirth, and as a symptomatic treatment for colds. Publications from the late 1960s suggested that the plant, when smoked, produced a psychedelic high not unlike marijuana, but it was later discovered that the researchers had, in fact, mixed up the two plants. 1,2
What Is Catnip Used for Today?
Catnip is primarily used by today's herbalists as a treatment for insomnia , as well as for mild stomach upset , especially when caused by stress. One ingredient of catnip, trans-cis-nepetalactone, is the active ingredient so far as cats are concerned. Most (but not all) cats respond to this substance with a complex reaction called the "catnip response" that can go on for about an hour.
Nepetalactone is similar to a class of substances called valepotriates, found in the sedative herb valerian . 3 This has attracted some attention, as valerian also is used for insomnia and stomach discomfort. However, as valepotriates are no longer considered to be the active ingredients in valerian, it is not clear that this relationship has any significance.
As yet, there is no real evidence that catnip produces any effect at all in humans. Tests conducted on chicks and rats have produced conflicting results, although high doses of essential oil of catnip have increased sleeping times in the latter. 4,5
Catnip tea is most commonly made by mixing 1 to 2 teaspoons (1 to 2 g) of the dried herb, or half that amount of the liquid extract, per cup of water (240 ml), 6 and can be consumed up to 3 times a day.
Safety Issues
Although comprehensive safety studies have not been performed, catnip tea is generally regarded as safe. However, due to its traditional use as a uterine stimulant, pregnant women should probably avoid catnip. Safety for young children or individuals with severe liver or kidney disease has not been established.

I honestly don't know how I lived without this the first year I had my iPhone. Instead of a measly few feet of cord, these colorful beauties pack over 10 ft of goodness... and for only $3.00 each!
iPhone Wallet Case:
It's a phone case, it's a wallet... it's a wallet phone case! This is pretty much the ONLY thing I carry when I'm shopping. I just slide my ID and check card in one side, have my phone on the other and BAM, I'm doin' some hands-free shopping!
Because my iPhone has become such a huge part of how I document everyday memories, using an app like Sanpseed (even though it takes a few extra steps) is TOTALLY worth it when I see how beautiful they look printed out and in a keepsake book or journal.
An app that gives you flawless, glowing skin???... yes please!
Instagram is tricky, because it cuts off a lot of your photo to fit it into a 1:1 format. Sometimes that's okay, but other times you want to have the ENTIRE image show up, and that's where Whitagram comes in. Just upload your photo to this app and it creates little bars on either side (in whatever color you choose) to fill the extra space, so the integrity of your original photo stays intact.

SLAVE LAKE, Alta. — The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge left Slave Lake after an almost three-hour visit Wednesday to tour the fire-ravaged Alberta community.
After their arrival a string of motorcycles led the couple's minibus to the entrance of Northern Lakes College. As they pulled in, fans erupted in cheers and chants of "Will and Kate."
People were decked out many in their finest party dresses and fascinators. Others wore "I Heart Slave Lake" T-shirts and came bearing little paper Union Jacks and bouquets of flowers for the duchess.
Kate, in a navy blazer, reportedly by Toronto-based label Smythe, and Prince William waved briefly at the crowd before going inside to meet emergency responders and families affected by the fires.
RCMP officer Leigh Drinkwater, whose home was destroyed in the fire, was one of the emergency responders to meet with the royal couple at the college.
Drinkwater said the meeting was an opportunity for emergency services personnel to talk to the duke and duchess, and for the royals to ask questions about the fire.
"They seem very, very humble," Drinkwater said, after the meeting. "They were an absolute pleasure to speak with."
He said the visit means a lot to the community.
"It's nice to see people of their stature that can acknowledge what happened here, and recognize what has happened and make a point of coming," he said.
"I think that it will offer a lot of encouragement to the people here in town, to show that their matters are still in the forefront of a lot of people's minds."
After the private meetings, the royal couple emerged to cheers, screams, and a sea of cameras and flowers.
Prince William made a beeline for Yolande and Dion Klyne, who had been waiting for the royals since 4:30 a.m.
Dion had gone to the barricades every hour on the hour last night to check on crowds for his wife.
"He's the best husband ever," Yolande said.
Yolande told the duke that after she and her husband lost their home in the fire, this visit from the royals means a lot.
"I'm so sorry for your loss," he told her.
The prince complimented the couple on the I Heart Slave Lake T-shirts they were wearing and told them how happy he was to be there.
"It was amazing," said Yolande. "You can tell he really cares."
The duchess came next, and the couple presented her with flowers.
"I lost a lot memories in the fire, but these are new ones," Yolande said afterwards, in tears. "It's truly the start of rebuilding."
Afterwards, the duke and duchess strolled separately along the barricades, shaking hands and speaking with those in the crowd.
Some people cried as they met the royals.
"Thank you so much for coming," one woman sobbed.
After leaving Slave Lake, the royal couple flew to Calgary later Wednesday afternoon for a quiet overnight at an undisclosed destination the mountains west of the city.
Dozens of royal-watchers stood behind a metal fence at the airport, hoping to catch a glimpse of the comely couple or even shake hands if they were lucky. But it was not to be.
William and Kate boarded a helicopter and flew away.
In Slave Lake, some royal fans drove many hours from out of town to catch a glimpse of the couple.
Sheila Haugen and her teenage daughter, Abby, got up at 2 a.m. to make the four-hour drive from their home in B.C.
As they staked out a spot along the barricade, the Haugens were tired, but happy.
"This is a once in a lifetime moment," Sheila Haugen said. "We are so excited."
"We heard they were coming yesterday so I immediately made plans to take the day off," said Rulene Mare, who drove more than three hours from Grande Prairie, Alta., with friends Jacomie Strydom, 14, and Strydom's mom Johanine.
"We'd been following their whole tour through Canada and to see them live is amazing," said Mare. "I would like to say to William that he made a perfect choice in a wife."
It has been a whirlwind two months for Slave Lake, beginning with the devastating wildfires that tore throughout the town seven weeks ago, thrusting the small community into the national spotlight.
The wildfire that ripped through Slave Lake in May caused more than $700 million in damages, making it the second-costliest insured disaster in Canadian history, according to the Insurance Bureau of Canada.
The wildfire, fuelled by tinder-dry conditions and high winds, tore through Slave Lake on May 15, destroying about one-third of the town and forcing thousands to flee their homes.

Status: Located
Hoxton Old Burial Ground, London, 1. England, UK
Notes: Hoxton Jewish Cemetery: Opened in 1707, the grounds having been purchased by Marcus Moses on 25 Mar 1707, it remained in use until 1795.
On the east side wall there was a plaque 'This wall was newly repaired May 30 1781. Joseph Gompertz, Abraham Hart, governors and Rubin Salomon, treasurer'
The cemetery which closed in 1878, was described in 1896 as having no grass and many tombstones (London Burial Grounds 1896 by Mrs Basil Holmes, Fisher-Unwin).
When the lease expired in the mid-1960s the remains were transferred to West Ham Cemetery and buried in unmarked graves.
The following inscription information has been compiled from the translation of epitaphs visible in Dec 1929, by Dyan Mendelssohn of the United Synagogue and from reports in the Jewish Chronicle.

Stories about Asheville's quality of life have become a staple of national media outlets. In 2007, the city topped Relocate-America.com's list of "100 Best Places to Live." In 2009, U.S. News & World Report named Asheville one of "America's Best Affordable Places to Retire." And in an August 2011 report, Good Morning America pegged Asheville as one of the "10 Most Beautiful Places in America."
Here are just a few of Asheville's most recent accolades:
Food and Drink:
Asheville is located in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Western North Carolina at the intersection of Interstate 26 (running from Kingsport, TN to Charleston, SC) and Interstate 40 (one of the longest interstates in the country, running from the coast of NC all the way to California). As the seat of Buncombe County and the largest city in the region, Asheville offers many amenities within minutes of each of the area's various neighborhoods, including public, private, and charter schools; an extensive county library system; access to state-of-the-art medical facilities, including Mission Hospital, the largest in the region; and innumerable shopping, entertainment, and dining options. Asheville is also conveniently located near Great Smoky Mountains National Park, Pisgah National Forest, and the Blue Ridge Parkway, a sightseer's and cyclist's haven.
Weaverville: 15 minutes
Black Mountain: 18 minutes
Asheville Regional Airport: 19 minutes from city center
Downtown Hendersonville: 31 minutes
Downtown Waynesville: 35 minutes
Greenville, SC: 1 hour, 9 minutes
Hickory, NC: 1 hour, 12 minutes
Knoxville, TN: 1 hour, 49 minutes

Asheville is the largest city in Western North Carolina, but surrounding towns in Buncombe County offer small-town flair and varied amenities. The population is approximately 240,000 in the county. The four-season temperate climate with average snowfall of only 13 inches makes year-round living easy. Average elevation is 2,165 feet above sea level with surrounding mountain elevations of up to 6,685 feet at Mount Mitchell, the highest peak east of the Mississippi River. Because of this broad range of elevations and corresponding climates and plant growth, the area is one of the most bio-diverse in the United States and the world.
In North Buncombe County, Weaverville real estate is seeing explosive growth, and to the east, Black Mountain homes have continued to see values climb as people discover the area.
Asheville city residents pay both city and Buncombe County property taxes, as totaled below. Buncombe County also has many local and special tax districts. Depending on your home, you may be subject to additional fire or school taxes. Tax rates are per $100 of assessed valuation.
Asheville City: $ 1.079
Asheville City and City School: $ 1.229

Coins, Currency, and Medals
The Museum possesses one of the largest numismatic collections in the world. The collections include over 1 million objects, comprising coins, medals, decorations, and pieces of paper money. Among the many great rarities here are some of the world's oldest coins, created 2,700 years ago. But the collection also includes the latest innovations in electronic monetary exchange, as well as beads, wampum, and other commodities once used as money. A special strength lies in artifacts that illustrate the development of money and medals in the United States. The American section includes many rare and significant coins, such as two of three known examples of the world's most valuable coin, the 1933 double eagle $20 gold piece.

Other Proposed Uses
Fructo-oligosaccharides (FOS) are starches that the human body cannot fully digest. Inulin and galacto-oligosaccharides (GOS) are similar substances also discussed in this article.
When a person consumes FOS, the undigested portions provide nourishment for bacteria in the digestive tract. "Friendly" bacteria ( probiotics ) may respond particularly well to this nourishment. Because FOS feed probiotics, they are sometimes called a "prebiotic."
Low doses of FOS are often provided along with probiotic supplements to aid their growth. High doses of FOS (and related substances) have been advocated for a variety of health conditions. However, currently, the available scientific evidence for benefit remains more negative than positive.
There is no daily requirement for FOS. FOS and related substances are found in asparagus, Jerusalem artichoke, leeks, onions, and soybeans, among other foods.
Therapeutic Dosages
When taken simply for promoting healthy bacteria, FOS are often taken at a dose of 4-6 g daily. When used for therapeutic purposes, the typical dose of FOS is 10-20 g daily, divided into three doses and taken with meals. Side effects are common at a daily intake 15 g or more (see Safety Issues ).
Therapeutic Uses
Animal studies hint that FOS, GOS, and inulin can significantly improve cholesterol profile; however, study outcomes in humans have been inconsistent at best. 1-7 One study found that while inulin might produce a short-term benefit, any such benefit disappears after six months of use. 18
At most, it appears that FOS might improve cholesterol profiles by 5%, an amount too small to make much of a difference in most circumstances. These relatively poor results might be due to that fact that humans cannot tolerate doses of FOS much above 15 g daily without developing gastrointestinal side effects.
FOS has also been suggested for preventing traveler's diarrhea . However, in a large (244-participant) double-blind study, FOS at a dose of 10 g daily again offered only minimal benefits. 8Probiotics themselves might be a better bet.
Another study found that use of FOS might help reduce incidents of diarrhea, flatulence, and vomiting in preschoolers. 16
According to most studies, FOS at 10-20 g daily do not improve blood sugar control in people with type 2 diabetes . 9,10
FOS have been advocated as a treatment for irritable bowel syndrome . However, research results are currently inconsistent at best. For example, a 6-week, double-blind study of 105 people with mild irritable bowel syndrome compared 5 g of fructo-oligosaccharides daily against placebo, and returned conflicting results. 19 According to some measures of symptom severity employed by the researchers, use of FOS led to an improvement in symptoms. However, according to other measures, FOS actually worsened symptoms. Conflicting results, though of a different kind, were also seen in a 12-week, double-blind, placebo-controlled study of 98 people. 11 Treatment with FOS at a dose of 20 g daily initially worsened symptoms, but over time this negative effect wore off. At no time in the study were clear benefits seen, however. On a positive note, one study did find benefit with a combination prebiotic-probiotic formula, 20 and another study found the combination beneficial for women with constipation when taken in yogurt. 22
Small double-blind studies found that FOS at a dose of 10 g daily may improve magnesium absorption in postmenopausal women. 12 Whether this is beneficial remains unclear, since magnesium deficiency is not believed to be a widespread problem. FOS may also slightly increase copper absorption , but does not appear to affect absorption of calcium , zinc , or selenium . 13,14
A randomized, placebo-controlled trial, involving 134 infants less than 6 months old whose parents suffered from allergies, found that those fed a prebiotic combination of FOS/GOS experienced a significant reduction in both allergy symptoms and minor infections that lasted at least through age 2. The researchers suggested that the favorable effects of prebiotics on intestinal bacteria early in life may produce lasting benefits to the immune system. 21
One study found that use of inulin promoted growth of probiotic bacteria in the bifidobacteria family. 17
Safety Issues
FOS appear to be generally safe. However, they can cause bloating, flatulence, and intestinal discomfort, especially when taken at doses of 15 g or higher daily. 6,7 People with lactose intolerance may particularly suffer from these side effects. 15

Schizotypal personality disorder is a personality disorder characterized by odd behaviors, beliefs, thoughts, and difficulties in social situations. People with personality disorders are not aware that their thoughts and behaviors are inappropriate.
It is not clear what causes personality disorders, but it is likely a combination of genetic factors and a person's environment.
Risk Factors
Schizotypal personality disorder is more common in men. People who have relatives with schizophrenia may have an increased chance of developing schizotypal personality disorder.
Schizotypal personality may cause:
- Detachment from social relationships and difficulty forming relationships
- Limited range of emotional expression
- Odd or eccentric speech, dress, and grooming
- Unusual style of communication
- Illusions and alterations in perception
- "Magical" thinking
- Peculiar, outlandish, or paranoid ideas or beliefs
- Social anxiety
- Talking to self
You will likely be referred to a psychiatrist or other mental health professional who will ask you about your symptoms and mental and medical health history. A diagnosis will be made after a complete psychiatric assessment that rules out other disorders such as schizophrenia , dissociative disorders, obsessive-compulsive personality disorder , or other personality disorders.
Talk with your doctor about the best treatment plan for you. Options include:
Counseling is often beneficial for people with schizotypal personality disorder. Counseling sessions focus on helping you gain insight into your personality disorder and changing your behavior.
Currently there is no medication available specifically for this condition. However, in some cases antipsychotic medications may be used to help treat distorted thinking.
Other Treatments
Other treatments, such as group therapy and social skills training, can help you to manage symptoms.
There are no current guidelines to prevent schizotypal personality disorder because the cause is unknown.

Jim has kindly offered to run a free developer training session, and to present at an OWASP Perth chapter meeting. Both of these events will be taking place on the 8th of May. If you are interested in attending either, please register your interest here: http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/5YYF5H3. !!!NOTE!!! We have reached maximum capacity for the training event. You can still submit your details on the SurveyMonkey form to go on the wait-list / cancellation list, but we will only be accepting new registrations if somebody else cancels. (Or, if we get enough registrations we might see if Jim can run a second training session on the Thursday).
Previous OWASP Meetings
Secure Coding and OOAD (March 2012)
Building on the OWASP secure coding priniciples, this session will introduce Robert C Martin's 5 OO principles in order to show how well designed code can help with the implementation and enforcement of secure coding principles, as well as alleviating maintenance headaches. Presented by Chris Arnold of Swiss power and ABB.
Defending Web Applications (December 2011)
Worried about having your site hacked? What about your Wordpress blog? David Taylor and Christian Frichot of OWASP Perth are back to talk about all things web security, and instead of spending a couple of hours trying to scare you with how to break stuff, we hope to educate you on how best to defend your web applications.
We'll be covering a range of defensive methods, including addressing coding vulnerabilities directly, implementing an open source HIDS, or even implementing your own 2nd factor authentication scheme utilising the Google Authenticator.
Presented at Perth AISA's Techday 2011
How minor vulnerabilities can do 'very bad things' - The Sequel (May 2011)
Missed the 2010 AISA Techday session? Haven't made it out to an OWASP event lately? David and Christian are happy to be presenting their updated presentation, including live demos, on the impacts of web application security vulnerabilities at the upcoming Australia / New Zealand Testing Board (ANZTB) SIGIST meeting!
Cross-site scripting: You don't always know who the actors are (May 2011)
So the time has come. Your company has finally approved the project to update your online web presence. A brand new, whiz-bang Content Management System is being deployed and your developers are frantically coding away to prepare a whole batch of fresh new content. Before you realise it, the delivery date is a week away and you have some security guy screaming at you about cross-site scripting issues!
Cross-site scripting? So what.
Does this experience sound familiar to you?
In this session Christian Frichot will spend some time dissecting this common web application vulnerability, and just how serious its impacts can be. Exploitation of cross-site scripting is no longer just within the realm of nerdy, hacker types, new (and old) tools out there allow this trivial vulnerability to be used for so much more, including keystroke logging, and even forcing your iPhone to dial a number via Skype. For those facing these issues there are plenty of resources which can help, and Christian will cover these as well.
How minor vulnerabilities can do 'very bad things' (December 2010)
The Perth branch of the Australian Information Security Association is pleased to announce details for the second annual Perth AISA Tech day to be held on the 3rd December. This year we are holding the event in the heart of Perth's CBD thanks to proud AISA supporters L7 Solutions.
Appearing for their second consecutive year, regular AISA and OWASP members Christian and David are following on from last year's topic. Last year you will remember that the demonstrated a number of classes of vulnerabilities in web applications (XSS, CSRF, SQL Injection etc.). This year they are going to show how relatively minor vulnerabilities can be exploited and leveraged to do 'very bad things' ™ to the client browser, the web server or both.
This session will include demonstrations of the BeEF browser exploitation framework and Metasploit.
Web Application (In)Security Brief - Injection (September 2010)
Having recently run training sessions on web application security for SyScan'10 and Blackhat, we're lucky enough to have Wade Alcorn from NGS to give a brief presentation on "Exploiting and discovering injection" for September's Perth OWASP Meeting. Come on up to Level 46 of the Bankwest Tower to join us discuss web application security with Wade and others. Please RSVP to ensure appropriate seating arrangements and we're hoping to then shift off to the Generous Squire for a quick beverage afterwards!
About the presenter
Wade Alcorn has experience in numerous aspects of offensive information security assessments. This ranges from bluetooth, reverse engineering and web application assessments to managing large teams of security professionals. Prior to joining NGS, Wade had been responsible for cutting-edge PKI and VPN development using technologies including C/C++ and Java. He has presented at conferences including BlackHat and AusCERT.
Security Event and Incident Management" Panel Session (Perth AISA August 2010)
AISA Details
Log management is a necessary task in Security Management, but is often neglected. There are various pressures being placed on businesses, such as audit and compliance, industry standards (eg PCI, APRA), internal security maturity which have allowed organisations to understand the benefits to be gained from undertaking a SEIM project.
There are many options for organisations looking to develop log management and security incident response processes, which range from open source syslog solutions, through to vendor supplied SEIM products and cloud based monitoring solutions.
A panel selected from a variety of industries including representation from security consulting, corporate and vendor will discuss the considerations, options and benefits of employing SEIM technology and processes.
We were fortunate to have Joshua Qwek, one of Perth's OWASP chapter lead, participate in this panel.
How mature is your software security process? (Perth AISA May 2010)
AISA Details
As the security industry continues to change its focus to application security a lot of companies who rely on software, developed either internally or externally, are wondering what they can do reduce the risk of security flaws.
Microsoft's Security Development Lifecycle (SDL) model can look appealing, however without a clear understanding of what your software security processes look like, it may be difficult to achieve any real improvements.
Implementing a holistic end-to-end software security process can often look like an impossible task, and while the end picture resembles Eden, it's often the first steps that everyone stumbles on. As the saying goes "You can't manage what you can't measure", and without a clear understanding of what your software security processes look like now it's unlikely that you can achieve any real improvements.
OWASP's Open Software Assurance Maturity Model, or OpenSAMM, aims to assist organisations, both big and small, in evaluating their existing software security practices and constructing a measurable, balanced program to increase their software security.
Wondering how this can help your internal development processes? Want to have a more rigid process to audit your externally developed software processes? Then perhaps OWASP's OpenSAMM project can assist.
This meeting will be co-hosted by both the local AISA chapter and the Perth OWASP chapter.
Perth OWASP - Perth AISA Technical Day (Dec 2009)
The local OWASP boys will be whipping out their flux capacitor to fit as much information as they possibly can into a 2 hour jam-packed session on web app security testing. By providing a flyby of the OWASP Testing Guide, David and Christian aim to demonstrate and explain how to detect security vulnerabilities in your own web applications, including: Cross Site Scripting; Injection Flaws; Cross Site Request Forgery and Session Management Flaws.
Demonstrations will utilise a number of open source and freely available tools, including OWASP's own WebScarab. To provide a yoga-like flexibility to the session all materials and testing environments (an Ubuntu wrapped VMware virtual machine) will be provided to attendees, allowing you to either chase us rapidly down the rabbit hole of the OWASP Top 10, or to take your own time after the session...
The perfect way to spend a lazy Sunday afternoon.
Web-based Malware (Sep 2009)
About the presenter
Shlomi Cohen joined IBM with the Watchfire acquisition at August 2007. Over nine years of experience in web application security in both start-ups and established companies. Emphasis in strategic selling, sales consulting, technical sales and management.
- Leading the Security solution on the WW Rational Tiger sales team

- Development of sale process for multiple products
- Working closely with customers and the product management team in driving the products roadmaps
- Assisting IBM's growth in acquisition portfolio
Previous to the WW Rational Security Solution leader:
- Managing the technical sales team for Watchfire in the Americas group of IBM

- AppShield Development Manager - Managed the development and QA teams for the AppShield product - a client Server Web Application Firewall
Threat Modelling in the Software Development Lifecycle (Feb 2009)
One of the most important concepts being promoted in the security industry is security in the software development lifecycle. This concept is important due to two primary factors:
- It is generally recognised that by shifting security activities closer towards the requirements gathering stage, or the design stage, that less vulnerabilities will make their way into the production systems.
- It is also recognised that the cost of mitigating vulnerabilities increases later in the lifecycle.
By walking through a case study I hope to demonstrate the effectiveness of addressing risk during the earlier stage of the software development lifecycle, and that these activities are not solely the responsibility of the "security guy", but all participants in a software project including the project manager, business stakeholders and software designer.
About the presenter
Christian Frichot is currently employed by Bankwest working within the Security Consulting Services team. His core responsibilities include phishing and online fraud response, security assessments, information risk assessments and other ad-hoc information security consulting. Christian hopes to spend more time in '09 focusing on education and application security, where he feels more effort needs to be applied.

Looking for Rocky Mountain skiing or summer fun within about 2 hours of both Denver and Aspen? A money-saving Vail holiday rental is an excellent home base for area exploration. A Bavarian style ski resort village, Vail also has plenty of beginner ski trails, snowmobiling, and a renowned ski school. Summertime Vail has golf, mountain biking, river rafting, kayaking, rock climbing, horseback and pony rides. Plus Vail is family-friendly, with a child care center and plenty of nature activities to keep the kids busy.
Vail Ski Resort at Vail Mountain came first. Then the city of Vail was founded in the 1960s. So there is not the silver mining history of Telluride or nearby Aspen. Vail winter life is a more concentrated ski experience, revolving around seven mountain bowls. Though snowmobiling and snowboarding also figure big these days. Vail Ski Resort is among the largest in the USA, 7 miles wide with 5,289 acres in three terrain parks: Front-Side, Blue Sky Basin, and the Back Bowls. This means wide open spaces, with 34 lifts, almost 200 trails, and an average of only 2-4 skiers per acre ensuring plenty of fresh tracks.
A money-saving Vail holiday rental chalet, home, townhouse, condo, or apartment is the perfect home base for family fun. Golf 18 holes at Vail Golf Club or Eagle Ranch Golf Course. Ride the gondolas up the mountain, and hike or mountain bike back down. Drive through small towns with grape vineyards and sample Colorado's wineries. Summer family sightseeing excursions to nearby Aspen, Beaver Creek, and Glenwood Springs are less likely to encounter winter's high winds, black ice, and white outs.
Vail has day camps, parks, playgrounds, and a child-care center to help out with the kids during those extra long days of glades, chutes, Front-Side cruising runs, Blue Sky Basin cornices, and Northwoods moguls. Alpine plants and wildflowers abound at the Betty Ford Alpine Gardens, which have a Mountain Meditation Garden, Children's Garden, and waterfall. Also visit Vail Nature Center in Ford Park. The kids will also enjoy Adventure Ridge for ski-biking, tubing, and snowmobiles.
The Vail International Dance Festival has featured everything from ballet and tango to Chinese dance. Vail America Days on July 4th include a parade, concert, and fireworks. Time your visit for soul music and jazz festivals, or the Vail Film Festival. Don't end your money-saving Vail holiday rental stay without a visit to the Colorado Ski and Snowboard Museum and Hall of Fame.
