Nails, Hair & Skin
I have a question that I hope you can answer. I was told by an associate at work that African-Americans are prone to pimples when they eat chocolate. I was informed that eating chocolate and the development of pimples had no correlation and told the person as much. Their reply was that African-Americans have "different skin tones" and that considering that I was white I would not know of such things. Is this the babbling BS that I think it is or is there some shred of truth behind this? Sorry for wasting your time on this question but the situation has been bothering me for quite some time. Thank you.
Are there shampoos that really work that help grow hair more and stronger?
As to shampoo, I would suggest you ask your barber or hair dresser for suggestions as some shampoos are harsh. Hair is made of protein, but is susceptible to elevated testosterone levels. Male pattern baldness or male hair loss is more common in males with higher testosterone levels. If you have a concern about hair loss, I would suggest you see a dermatologist as there are good products to help re-grow hair.
I have vertical lines or "ridges" on all of my fingernails and have been told by various people that it is a calcium deficiency, an iron deficiency, a vitamin A deficiency, etc. I'd like to find out once and for all what kind of deficiency it is, if any. My nails rarely chip or break and they are strong and appear healthy except for the ridges. What can I do to get rid of them? Thank you.
I have a friend who has developed brittle, cracking nails. Could you tell me what vitamin she could be lacking? Thanks in advance.
Nails are made of protein so unless she is lacking protein in the foods she eats, she is probably not lacking any vitamin. Nails suffer from the physical trauma we put them through on a daily basis. Dish washing and cleaning products often dry out nails. She can buy a nail moisturizer or use any moisturizing lotion regularly to keep her nails softer.
Thank you very much for responding to my e-mail. My skin has the orange peel look to it. I'm hoping that my new eating and exercise program will help in reducing it's appearance. Thank you again for your response.
I would like information regarding cellulite and how to reduce the appearance of it. It has been difficult for me to obtain an honest non-biased option on the subject of cellulite. There are a million and one sites stating products that remove, reduce, get rid of cellulite. However I recently visited a doctor who informed me that once you have cellulite you have it forever. Yikes!
It seems to me that a regular exercise program or eating certain foods could help with this problem. I am 5 feet 1 inch and weigh 127 pounds. I have a medium / large frame for my height.
I have recently begun (trying to) exercising on a relatively regular basis. I use a 30 minute exercise tape 3 to 4 times per week. I have cut out many of the fatty type foods that I used to eat.
My question to you, is there specific exercises or foods that help in reducing cellulite? Thank you very much for your response and for a terrific informative website.
Does your skin look like an orange peel? Actually there is no such thing as cellulite, but the term seems to describe a dimpled appearance to the skin for most people. What you are looking at is hypertrophied fat cells or fat cells that are full of fat rather than partially full.
No cream, gadget or supplement will rid your body of dimpled skin. Only way to reduce dimpled look to skin is exercise to reduce body fat and increase underlying muscle. Aerobic exercise is great to reduce body fat and weight lifting increases muscle mass. If you aren't sure what exercises to do, contact an exercise physiologist or a certified trainer for guidance.
Or are you referring to cellulitis which is a reddened area to a specific area of skin? Cellulitis is an inflammation of the tissue just beneath the skin. If this is what you are referring to, I would recommend you see your doctor as blood clots also cause a reddened, hot area to the skin close to a blood clot.
This patient has a rare skin disease. The patient with this is only 16 years old. She has it only on her hands. It is red, splotchy-looking dry rash. Her parents requested that I try to find out if there is anything out there regarding certain foods to eat or restrict. They know toxic levels of Vitamin A in supplement form are the most effective treatment, but there are side effects to doing that, even short-term. I did a Med-line search and most titles are related to Vitamin A supplements. Thank you for any help you can send my way.
I was recently diagnosed with Diabetes II. My doctor diagnosed it and then sort of brushed me off when I had questions. I have one question for you. I have been itching LIKE CRAZY! Mostly my face. I have a rash around my mouth and now on my forehead and temples. It's driving me nuts. First it was just around the mouth (for the past 5 or 6 months). Could this be related to irregular blood sugar? Could it be a vitamin deficiency? Hopefully you can give me some insight on this! Thanks!
One of several possibilities comes to mind. Either you have an allergic reaction to a new product / drug you are using, you have a skin infection or granuloma anulare which looks like bumps that form a circle. Would suggest you go see a dermatologist as this is not normal nor should you have to put up with the itching.
With regards to a skin allergic reaction, have you started using new products on the area that now itches? Consider a new lotion for your skin, shampoo or cr�me rinse for your hair. Ask the dermatologist for her / his recommendations.
Or you have an infection on your skin, possibly because of your elevated blood glucose. Or are you stressed out about something? When the blood sugar of people with diabetes is out of normal range, they are much more susceptible to infections so deal with this quickly. If you are itching, you may break the skin and get an infection from normal bacteria on the surface of your skin. Ask the dermatologist about these issues.
I would suggest you consider changing the doctor you see for diabetes. A diagnosis of diabetes requires careful regulation of your blood glucose and A1c (glycosylated hemoglobin) to prevent long term complications. Find a doctor that has a greater interest in your diabetes and make an appointment to see a registered dietitian to talk about your eating plan. A lot has changed in diabetes care.
Hi. Thank you for your website. The information is quite valuable. I am a hypnotherapist and I have a link to you on my website for my weight-loss clients.
I don't know if you have run across many vegetarians like me, but I did not choose to be a vegetarian. Several years ago my body just began to reject animal products. I am really pleased that research is being done on the health aspects of vegetarian diets because that has been of concern to me. The only problem I've really noticed has been incidents of herpes outbreaks on my lips. I find that taking lysine supplementation has taken care of that. I also wanted to let you know that petroleum jelly has made a big difference in the strength of my fingernails.
How did your body start rejecting animal products? There are allergies to specific protein found in animal products or the lactose in milk, but have no references for a person's body rejecting animal products as a whole.
Petroleum jelly will block pores and add moisture whether or not you put it on your skin, lips, nails or even hair. Any moisturizer that prevents dryness will help prevent nails from breaking.
Greetings, I am a 22 year old male and have a few questions I just can't seem to get an answer for. I have severe ACNE and have had for a while. Besides using moisturizers for my face and mild exfoliants, I also combat this problem with my diet. I consume no alcohol, don't smoke, don't do drugs, consume hardly any refined sugar (very skin sensitive) or any citric acid or iodine for the same reasons. This strips my diet down to mainly raw if not bland foods. I juice about 40 ounces of carrots a day, which brings me to my first question.
1) My hands have turned a faint yellowish tinge over a period of two months but don't seem to be getting any worse. I would rather not stop juicing the carrots as they're doing wonders for my skin. Is this an acceptable outcome and/or is this a bad thing. What causes this stain and what does it mean???
2) I use 6-7 cloves of garlic a day to flush bacteria from my skin, could this be killing the friendly bacteria in my colon, should I be replacing this with something???
3) I consume quite large quantities of zinc (from carrots etc). This helps the scarring and reduces inflammation of the skin. I supplement this with some copper perhaps not as much as I should. If this mineral enhances male reproductive system, could I be making my skin worse by firing up my hormones???
4) I drink about 10-12 litters of water a day and use the bathroom accordingly. Could this much water flush out some of the nutrients I consume and should there be a limit to how much water somebody drinks.
I only weigh 160 pounds Well I know you're a busy person and I admire what you do. I hope I haven't annoyed you too much with the length. and sorry if I have. I have tried to write to other practitioners without response, which has annoyed me, as I am quite confused about these matters. I look forward to your reply.
Acne is caused by overactive oil glands according to my dermatologist and some people have it even into midlife. Research has disproved that chocolate increases acne. Refined sugars, citric acid and iodine have no effect on skin. (Unless you were to place any of these substances directly on the skin, but I believe that you were referring to eating foods with these ingredients.) Sugar would contribute calories, which could affect your weight, but not your skin other than if you gained weight, your skin would stretch.
Iodine is essential for the formation of thyroxin, the hormone that which is produced by your thyroid gland and regulates your metabolism . This gland is at the base of your neck, in the front above where the hollow depression is. Iodine is found in ocean fish and iodized salt. I would not recommend that you restrict iodine as you may develop a goiter. If there is insufficient iodine in a person's diet, the thyroid gland increases in size which can result in a very unsightly large (grapefruit size) swelling at the base of your neck. Goiter was more prevalent in the center of the US where people were less likely to eat ocean fish before salt was fortified with iodine.
No reason to eat bland foods as spices and herbs don't aggravate acne either.
As to juicing 40 ounces of carrots per day, you are drinking a lot of beta carotene (318,983 IU or 31,899 RE = 3,987% of your RDA) which is coloring your skin yellow because you have saturated your body stores (liver) of Vitamin A. Beta carotene is not toxic and the yellow tinge to your skin is not harmful or permanent. You may notice it more on the palms of your hands and soles of your feet. I wouldn't be surprised if the whites of your eyes were yellow too which would make your doctor think you were jaundiced and test you for liver disease. If you quit drinking carrot juice, the color will fade in a month or so depending on how saturated your skin is. I would recommend that you decrease your intake of beta carotene to no more than 1/2 to 1 carrot per day (7 1/2" or 72 grams or 2 1/2 oz) as it isn't going to help your acne.
Beta carotene is not the form of Vitamin A that has been prescribed for acne and internal application of vitamin A doesn't seem to affect acne. Retinol (available by prescription as RetinA) is a different form of Vitamin A that if taken internally can be toxic, even fatal at levels of 100,000 IU per day. In fact, 1 ounce of polar bear liver contains enough retinol vitamin A to kill you. (Probably more than you ever wanted to know about vitamin A, but...) RetinA is applied topically to the skin. I would suggest you see a dermatologist to evaluate your acne and I would recommend you follow their advice for treatment.
Garlic doesn't flush bacteria from the skin. In fact, you have many "good bacteria" that is an integral part of your skin. Garlic does nothing to the normal flora of friendly bacteria in your colon including e-Coli. Unfortunately, garlic has been ascribed many therapeutic properties, most of which are untrue. Garlic will however, linger on your breath, which may or may not be desirable to you.
Carrots are not a good source of zinc. The 40 ounces of carrots you eat only contain 2.27 mg of zinc, which is about 19% of your RDA . Zinc has not been found to improve acne, but is necessary for male reproduction. Increasing zinc will not increase testosterone production above the normal level for your body. Be careful with supplementing zinc and copper as they can suppress absorption of each other.
As to water, 10 to 12 liters per day is a bit much and I would recommend reducing to 8, eight ounce glasses per day (2 liters). Research has shown that up to 10 liters per day is not harmful unless a person has kidney disease. Excess water intake does not flush out nutrients, Your kidneys are pretty selective in what they keep and what they void as long as they are healthy. Anyway, excess nutrients are stored by the body, usually in the liver or bone, until needed. If body stores are saturated, absorption of vitamins and minerals decrease and the excess is excreted in urine. If body stores are depleted, absorption of vitamins and minerals increases.
BTW, can't comment on your weight without your height. Considering all your interest in nutrition and getting an adequate nutrient intake, I would suggest you try the Healthy Body Calculator. It will tell you how much of each vitamin and mineral you need according to the Recommended Dietary Allowances so that you don't overdose nutrients. It will also calculate whether or not your body weight is in a healthy range.
Best bet is to stick with 3 meals per day using the Food Guide Pyramid as a plan.
PS Next time why not call a Registered Dietitian? Try a local hospital or medical clinic. You seem to have a keen interest in your health and a dietitian could help you with a healthy meal plan! You asked some good questions that have not been asked before. Thanks.
The question is: Does eating Jell-O strengthen your nails? Is this a question you might be able to answer?
Eating Jell-O (gelatin is the basic ingredient) or unflavored gelatin does not strengthens nails. Nails are composed of protein with a high sulfur content. All protein you eat is broken down and circulates in your body protein pool (as amino acids) that is used to build and repair muscles, organs and other protein structures like hair and nails. (By the way, excess protein is stored as body fat.)
Nail strength seems to be more affected by environmental damage (i.e. any work that hits the end of the nail like housework, dishwashing or gardening), trauma to the nail (slamming it in a door) or some prescription drugs drugs (steroids). People tend to use nails as tools which increases breakage and can lead to separation of the nail from the bed below which will show up as a white line under the tip of the nail. Nails are ten times more porous than skin and can become chapped (dry) which can increase breakage. Increased exposure to water (dishwashing, cooking and swimming) does increase chapping of nails. So, protect your hands and nails when washing dishes. While nail polish and artificial nails may tend to superficially protect nails, there doesn't seem to be a problem with nail products other than irritation or allergy to some chemicals in polish, polish remover and glue (formaldehyde, acetone and nathacrylate respectively).
Infants tend to have very thin nails that can be torn rather than cut. Finger nails tend to thin with age as nail growth slows in senior populations, but toe nails tend to get thicker in seniors.
Nails which are keratin based rigid proteins are comprised of magnesium, salcium, iron, zinc, sodium, and copper. Finger nails can reflect some nutrient levels though. If a person's nail bed (skin under exposed nail) is spoon shaped (depressed in the middle like a spoon) or pale rather than pink, it can reflect low iron in the blood (hemoglobin). Nails can develop side to side ridges (bows ridges) because of fever, inflammation in the body or a short term illness (acute). Fine longitudinal ridges from cuticle to nail tip tend to develop with age and are not significant. Protein malnutrition will affect nail growth and health since it is the building material that comprise nails. Biotin deficiency can be seen in nails (also as reddened skin) though it is extremely rare. There is no Recommended Dietary Allowances for biotin as it is present in many foods throughout the food chain. Other than that, once damaged, a nail takes approximately 6 yo 9 months to grow from the cuticle (growing end) to the tip of a person's finger where it can be trimmed off. Other nail changes like white lines in the nail occur because of damage to the nail base when pushing back the cuticle or an abnormal hardening (keratinization) of the nail during formation.
I have lost 90 lb. over the last year through strenuous exercise and low fat/fat free foods.
I am now faced with LOTS OF SKIN! The excess skin is predominately in my abdomen and buttocks area (my legs did not suffer, especially since my form of exercise was an hour on the stair climber every day).
Will this ever go away? Is there a particular vitamin or topical ointment I can use to expedite the matter? Do I need to start saving for surgery in the future?
My plan was to wait a year, focus more exercise in this area (argh) and see if it didn't naturally correct itself.
What is your recommendation?
And thank you in advance for your time!
Congratulations on the weight loss and exercise program. I think your plan to exercise your abdomen and buttocks to reduce excess skin is sound.
There are no guarantees that excess skin will disappear after weight loss. There are no vitamins, topical ointments or creams that are effective. I think surgery would be a drastic way to go and you may have some scar tissue to deal with afterwards.
Exercise is a good plan to tighten up the muscles underlying the skin. I would guess that since your legs were not affected that exercise might be helpful to areas that concern you. Talk to an exercise physiologist or trainer where you use the stair climber machine for suggestions of exercises for other body areas. A total exercise routine should include weight lifting and aerobic exercise for your whole body.
I need to get in shape for summer. The only place I need to trim down is my buttocks and thighs. How do you get rid of cellulite? Or whatever that dimply fat is?
First of all, there is no such thing as cellulite. It was a word coined by people who advertised they could rid you of "lumpy" fat by using massage and passive exercise for muscles. The word cellulite refers to the type of body fat that on the surface looks like the peel of an orange, dimpled. However, body fat is body fat.
Most excess calories as fat are stored under the skin. You can also store fat in your muscles like marbling seen in meat. Your body stores excess calories from fat, protein, carbohydrates and alcohol as fat. Anything you eat can be fattening if it is more calories than your body needs at that time.
The number of fat cells you have was determined by the time you finished growing and the number of fat cells you have is fixed. Either you keep the fat cells full or you keep them empty. (This theory is being tested for other ages and sexes such as pregnant women who may be able to make more fat cells during the last three months of a pregnancy.) Ideally, you want to have a small number of fat cells.
A fat cell has an unlimited ability to increase in size. Your body is always storing fat in preparation for a famine, which in industrialized countries almost never happens. As fat cells increase in size, you may notice a rippling effect on the surface of your skin. This process can be reduced over all your body with exercise. Choose an exercise you like so that you will stick with exercising regularly.
With exercise you can decrease your percent of body fat and increase your percent of muscle. Most men have 18 to 20% body fat and most women have between 22 and 24% body fat. A woman's body needs body fat in order to make estrogen, which is the hormone women need in order to ovulate. Low body fat should be considered as a possible reason for some infertility. Be reasonable. Remember, women are supposed to have curves.
I would suggest you see a qualified physical therapist, exercise physiologist or health education instructor to suggest specific exercises. Then remember that your body benefits from regular (3 to 5 times a week at 30 to 60 minutes per day) exercise. If you are over age 35 or have a health problem, see your doctor first.
My 11-year-old son has lots of white spots on his nails. I seem to remember learning that a vitamin deficiency causes this. Can you tell me which vitamin and if there are any other problems that occur with this deficiency. Thank you.
White spots or lines that appear on nails are caused by trauma to the nail or by performing rough work. Your 11-year-old son may do some rough playing which may also be causative. These spots or lines can also occur when the nail is forming and cuticles are pushed back too roughly. If your nails are thin, damage can more easily occur. These white areas will grow out to the end of the nail and can be trimmed off during regular manicure. I checked with a doctor of Internal Medicine on this as well.
Iron deficiency may make your nail beds (pink color of skin under nail) look pale pink or dish shaped. Since there is very little overlying tissue, the small blood vessels under the nail are more transparent and reflect the iron in red blood cells, giving a pink cast to the skin under nails. Dish nails look curved and depressed in the middle, similar to though not as severely as the bowl of a spoon.
Acute illnesses including fever can cause a bump or ridge in a nail, which will grow out to the end of nail that, can be trimmed off.
No, unflavored gelatin or vitamin supplements do not strengthen nails. Nails are made of rigid protein much like hair and contain sulfur. Therefore would be negatively affected if the protein in a person's diet were restricted to very low levels as in malnutrition or starvation.
What can I do about splitting nails on the hands? Could it be related to my diet?
Splitting nails typically are more often caused by environmental injury (such as extended submersion in water like dishwashing or rough handwork like landscaping) or injury to the nail bed when pushing back your cuticles. Sometimes illness or surgery around the nail (hand or toe) can distort the nail with pits and ridges. It takes approximately 9 months for a nail to grow from the cuticle to the tip of your finger. This depends on how fast your nail grows.
Gelatin or other nutritional components have been tried with limited results. Nails are composed of a structural protein, similar to hair. Unless your diet is very deficient in protein and / or calories (protein - calorie malnutrition), there probably isn't a dietary cause to your splitting nails.
Most persons have found that brushing a nail strengthening polish on nails is more effective as a topical remedy to splitting nails.
I have a possible answer to a query posed to you on your website (below as a reminder). The symptoms the gentleman described sound exactly like those I experienced 20 years ago as a young, single soldier living in the barracks. Since I had to do my own laundry, I was very aware of everything I was using. I had started using one of those in-the-dryer fabric softeners when I noticed that I was developing a rash on my face and neck. I had no idea what the cause might be at first, but nothing helped it. It would gradually subside and then reappear a few days later.
I finally went over what, if anything, I was doing differently than I had been and thought about the new laundry product I had started using. I tried to remember whether the changes in the rash coincided with how long I had been sleeping on a particular pillowcase (increased rash with new pillowcase, gradual remission, then reappearance with a freshly washed pillowcase?), but could not remember. However, on a hunch, I stopped using the in-the-dryer fabric softener, and my rash problem went away.
Coincidence? Possibly, especially since you would think that the clean sheets would also cause a rash on the rest of my body, but did not. However, my facial skin has always been much more sensitive to external agents than the rest of me and to this day I am convinced those handy little sheets were the problem.
I would be willing to bet the inquiring gentlemen made a change in his laundry products; the rashes occur only on his neck and right side of his face because he sleeps predominantly on his right side and they subside over a period of three days as the chemicals lose their potency and / or are rubbed off by use over time. Replacement with clean pillowcases recreates the initial, rash causing situation.
Just a thought, hope it helps and thanks for a great site!
Good suggestion. When a person suddenly develops a rash or skin reaction, they should try to remember if they are using some new product than they did before. Thanks for the suggestion.
For the past year I have had a skin rash that appears only on the back of my neck and the right cheek of my face and around the edge of my right eye. I am a 49 year old single male and I do eat a lot of things such as pizza and Chinese food. I also have a cat. I am wondering if I have developed an allergy to some of the food I eat or (God Forbid!!) my cat. How can I tell if this is the case? The rash will disappear in two or three days and then mysteriously returns. It never appears on any other part of my body, only my neck and right face. I have no medical training, but just logical thinking leads me to believe it is diet related. Do people develop allergies as they get older?
I have never had any allergies in the past and could eat anything without any adverse reaction. Also, I would never have an adverse reaction to the cat I have now or the one I had before. I am baffled!! Can you possibly shed any light on my situation?
Could also be an environmental (topical - contact with skin) allergic reaction to including your cat or shampoo? I would suggest you see a doctor who has a special certification in Dermatology or Allergy for a diagnosis and treatment.
In the meantime, write down what you eat and any topical products that you use anywhere near your head. Also, write down where and what the rash looks like when it appears. This journal would be helpful to the doctor you see.
People can develop allergies at any age. It doesn't sound like a food-related allergy though, certainly to pizza or Chinese food. Allergies to MSG and sulfites usually do not manifest as a skin reaction.. Other foods can cause an allergic reaction, which can appear externally on the skin as a rash or internally on the tongue or throat.
What kind of a diet is good for your hair? What vitamins? I have heard about a high blood pressure drug that stimulated hair growth. Does too much washing take vitamins out of your hair?
The high blood pressure drug you are probably referring to is minoxidil, which is applied to the skin on your head. I would suggest you contact your physician to see if you would be a good candidate for the drug.
A balanced diet from the Food Guide Pyramid, (meat, milk, bread, fruits, vegetables and fat) which includes a variety of foods should provide you with a diet that fulfills your Recommended Dietary Allowances (RDA). Hair is made of protein and a diet deficient in protein would show up in more hair loss. A very low calorie diet (less than 600 calories per day) would also cause hair loss because of a lack of dietary protein.
Vitamin therapy would also not be recommended for hair growth. Vitamin and or mineral supplements would not be effective in stimulating hair growth. Currently other than minoxidil, there is not any product on the market that will stimulate hair growth.
Washing does not remove vitamins or minerals from your hair. Hair is composed mainly of keratin protein. Applying incomplete proteins such as collagen to the hair will not change hair structure.
Hair is composed of dead cells, as are your fingernails. That is why it does not hurt when you have either cut.
The quality, quantity and distribution of hair are genetically determined. Take a look at your parent's hair.
Hair analysis has not yet been determined appropriate for general nutritional evaluation, even though businesses in hair analysis operate. Researchers sent samples of hair from one individual to several hair analysis labs. The lab reports on the hair samples were inconsistent as to vitamin and mineral content. You would be wasting your money in a hair analysis.
Why don't oats have the effect on humans as they do on horses? Horses fed oats develop thick, shiny hair and become energetic.
Neigh, that just isn't true for people. A horse's gastrointestinal systems are different from humans. Horses are able to eat a diet of all incomplete proteins.
Human hair is composed of keratin, which depends on an adequate intake of complete protein, zinc and sulfur. The color, texture and thickness of your hair are genetically determined. You can eat all the oats you want and that won't change your hair.

With my love for wood and music (and guitars in particular), it is only natural that I dabble in this aspect of the wood trade. I am a life member of the Guild of American Luthiers (www.luth.org) and over the years have formed some fantastic and enduring professional relationships with a number of highly talented luthiers, many of whom are also now long term friends.
America has a number of specialist lutherie wood suppliers and we don't intend to take on any of these stalwarts—so you can breathe easily Luthiers Mercantile, Allied Lutherie and Stewmac ;-)
We do have some great offers for you luthiers out there though, for example:
- Over 4000 sets of superb quarter-cut East Indian Rosewood backs and sides
- We have lesser quantities of Bubinga and East Indian Satinwood backs and sides
- Recently we've got in 1200 tops of superb Engelmann Spruce.
Brazilian Rosewood (Dalbergia Nigra) is another superb lutherie wood for which new stocks are no longer able to be traded. We however have some left over from the early 1980's in backer board form (obtained from veneer mills once they have taken their high quality veneer). Although this is often not great quality wood, talented guitar makers such as Marc Mainguard (http://maingardguitars.com/) have made incredible use of it and are thrilled with the results.
Marc Mainguard guitars - absolute masterpieces in my opinionHe tells the story of how he has managed to work his magic with this wood here.
Finally, don't forget that we stock Spanish cedar for necks, African and Brazilian mahogany and over 120 other species to have fun with. See our price list for further details.

Project on Emerging Nanotechnologies
In late August, the Project on Emerging Nanotechnologies (PEN) released a report assessing the ability, or lack thereof, of the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) to ensure nanoproducts are safe. The report, written by consumer product expert E. Marla Felcher, concludes, "[t]he agency lacks the budget, the statutory authority and the scientific expertise to ensure the hundreds of nanoproducts now on the market … are safe." In 2007, millions of children's toys coated with lead paint were recalled, making it clear that government oversight had failed and that the CPSC was stretched too thin from years of neglect. It is against this background that we need to ask the question: Is the CPSC adequately prepared to deal with nanotechnology, which is now associated with more than 800 manufacturer-identified consumer products ranging from infant pacifiers to paints to appliances to clothing? Requiring industry to report on nanomaterials used and risk assessment performed, along with increasing nanotechnology expertise in the agency, would better equip the CPSC to succeed. The alternative is to wait for injury, death, or chronic effects to emerge and force further action.

The Consumer Products Safety Commission, Nanotech, and the 'Wait and See Approach'
The Consumer Products Safety Commission, Nanotech, and the 'Wait and See Approach'
Congress and the White House took a step in the right direction this summer by approving a legislative measure that authorized $1 million for the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) to study the safety impacts of products that contain nanomaterials. While the effort may prove to be more symbolic than substantive because congressional appropriators must first fund the research, it is nevertheless noteworthy that officials in Washington are pushing the agency to identify potential risks posed by these novel materials - materials that are now in hundreds of consumer products. At the end of the day, though, the federal government - and in particular the CPSC - continues to employ a reactive "wait and see" approach that leaves consumers vulnerable to potentially hazardous products after they have entered the market and are often in wide use.
More than 15,000 consumer goods fall under the CPSC's jurisdiction, including toys and baby products, sports equipment, fitness equipment, home improvement and garden equipment, clothing, appliances, electronics and computers. Our Consumer Product Inventory indicates that nanotechnology has already found its way into every one of these product categories (1).
The current state of CPSC does not inspire much confidence. In fall 2007, millions of children's toys coated with lead paint were recalled in a poignant example of government oversight failure. The CPSC, the agency primarily responsible for the oversight of these toys, had been stretched far too thin from years of neglect, under funding, and the challenges posed by an increasingly global manufacturing system to perform its mandate - to protect the public from unreasonable risks of serious injury or death from consumer products under its jurisdiction. It is against this background that we need to ask the question: Is the CPSC adequately prepared to deal with nanotechnology, which is now associated with more than 800 manufacturer-identified consumer products, ranging from infant pacifiers to paints to appliances to clothing?
On August 21, 2008, only a week after President Bush signed the new CPSC bill into law, PEN released The Consumer Product Safety Commission and Nanotechnology (2). In the report, the author, Dr. E. Marla Felcher, a consumer product expert and Harvard lecturer, argues that the CPSC "…lacks the budget, the statutory authority and the scientific expertise to ensure the hundreds of nanoproducts now on the market, among them baby bottle nipples, infant teething rings, paints, waxes, kitchenware and appliances, are safe" (3).
In her report, Felcher summarizes painful stories of unnecessary death and injury resulting from the use of products like Stand 'n Seal grout spray and baby bath seats, which ultimately come from ineffective injury reporting processes, bare minimum and delayed responses from manufacturers, and decades of neglect towards CPSC as a whole. To make her point, Felcher quotes CPSC Commissioner Thomas H. Moore testifying to Congress in 2007, "We have to wait until [a problem] develops and then try to solve it, usually after it has killed or injured consumers." (4)
While CPSC has little leverage, if none at all, to obtain information on potential risks, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has recently created a voluntary reporting mechanism outside of the CPSC to obtain information on nanomaterials and their potential risks. But according to PEN's Chief Science Advisor, Andrew Maynard, the voluntary program has yielded little relevant data. The program, known as the EPA Nanoscale Materials Stewardship Program (NMSP), has obtained submission for only 93 nanomaterials (5). This proves that while voluntary reporting can start to educate policymakers, it is not always a substitute for more effective oversight.
In the short term, the "dearth of information on the toxicity of nanomaterials" may receive assistance in the form of a congressional appropriation for $1 million, but overhauling the long-followed reactive "wait and see" approach by the federal government in addressing such toxic risks is the most important thing officials at the CPSC and elsewhere in the government can do. This can be done by focusing attention on things like building the nanotechnology knowledge base and expertise within the CPSC, coordinating research on potential risks associated with nanomaterials between regulatory agencies, and giving the CPSC the authority to require manufacturers to identify the presence of nanomaterials in their products (6).

On this week's broadcast of "Fox News Sunday," while discussing an email from Democratic presidential front-runner Hillary Clinton's tenure as secretary of state in which she instructed Jake Sullivan, her deputy chief of staff at the time to send her classified information by making sure there was "no identifying heading" and sending it through a non-secure channel, veteran journalist Bob Woodward said Clinton did "subvert the rules."
Woodward said, "Here you have the secretary of state in 2011 saying let's subvert the rules, which say you've got to send — presumably — it's very clear from the earlier e-mails that this was a security issue, and I've written about non-papers or no papers, and this is the way people in the government take the heading off and create something that exists…By taking it off, it's just a piece of paper that has a bunch of paragraphs. there's no classification, there's no subject, so it's not in the system, so no one can discover it through Freedom of Information Act or some sort of subpoena. I mean, look, here is Hillary Clinton, somebody who worked on the staff of the Nixon impeachment committee, and what was the lesson? One of the lessons from that? Never write anything down. She did years of Whitewater investigations, where she was the target, and here many years later she's saying oh, let's subvert the rules and writing it out herself? Whether that's some sort of clime, that is not the issue. The issue is she kind of feels immune. She lives in a bubble, and no one is ever going to find this out. Well, now we have."

It's October and here is September's ipsy glam bag! I don't know about you but I love fall! Not so much the cold or the approaching winter but the colours are amazing on the trees. I got to really enjoy them when we went on our last camping trip of the season this past weekend. It's beautiful outside!
Another month, another ipsy glam bag. September's theme is Like A Boss. The five products comes in a slick looking black glam bag. It's black, faux leather and features spikes. How's that for a "boss" of a bag? 😉
The first item I received is the Luxie Rose Gold Medium Angled Shading Eye Brush #207 ($14.99 USD). I love all my Luxie brushes so I have high hopes for this one! The bristles are so soft and if they are like my other Luxie eye brushes, the make blending your eyeshadows super easy. So glad I received this! And honestly, the rose gold is beautiful!
Next up is the Pixi by Petra Beauty Blush Duo in Peach Honey ($7.93 USD). I love the looks of this blush! Use one side or the other or mix the two up. 🙂 Using a light hand, this could also make a great highlighter because of the shimmer. Multi-purpose products are always a huge plus for me!
I also received the Smashbox Photo Finish Radiance Primer ($9.75 USD). I'm always on the fence with Smashbox primers but I will give this one a try. I'm not sure if it's an all over primer or just something I would maybe mix in with my foundation. Might be good for winter as it will give you a bit of a glow!
The next product I received was the Elizabeth Mott Pop! Goes The Shadow in Gunmetal ($4.55 USD). This isn't really my kind of shade… I don't often wear black shades or grey shades very often. I think this one is a pass for me.
Last but not least was the re:p real elemental practice Bio Fresh Mask with Real Calming Herb ($6.31 USD). I haven't used masks as often lately but I think I will try this one. It smells really nice and it looks like it will be good for sensitive skin.
That's September's bag! Valued at $43.53 USD ($54.48 CAN based on today's exchange rate), it's not the highest valued bag I have received but it's still not bad. I will still use most of it, except for maybe the eyeshadow, so that's okay.
Like what you see here and would like to try ipsy? This subscription is $10.00 USD a month in the US and $10.00 USD + $4.00 USD shipping for Canadians. You get a mix of skincare, makeup and haircare deluxe and full sized products. And you get a different style of bag each month. If you are interested in trying this subscription, please use my link here.
What was in your ipsy bag this month? 🙂
Disclaimer: I pay for this subscription with my own money. All opinions are mine and mine alone. This post contains referral links.

When I first heard about Vidyo and its capabilities I was intrigued… A video conferencing solution that doesn't require a complex network AND works over a basic broadband connection without losing quality? I needed to see it with my own eyes. Sure enough, I was pleasantly surprised by the phenomenal quality that Vidyo delivers. So, I am very pleased to share that Vidyo has now released VidyoDesktop VE for Citrix XenDesktop and XenApp.
If you don't know Vidyo, let me introduce you. Vidyo provides a software-based platform that can work on virtually any network, any device and any application. They are currently making waves in a number of industries like healthcare, financial services and government. Vidyo can provide users with secure, consistent HD quality video across a full range of endpoints including desktop, mobile, web, room systems, H.323/SIP endpoints, and now Citrix-delivered virtual desktops.
How do they do that and what makes them different? It's all in the architecture, of course. Vidyo's software-based architecture optimizes bandwidth, provides high quality and scale, all while separating video and VDI traffic in blended mobile, thin and full client environments. As a Citrix Ready partner, Vidyo leveraged our Virtual Channel SDK to implement an "optimized architecture" that shifts the media processing workload to the user device. Just the right recipe for our Citrix XenApp and XenDesktop customers!
The Vidyo solution can run on both thin and thick clients. Any AMD or Intel Dual-Core thin client is sufficient, and if you happen to have access to the new quad-core thin clients you will be especially impressed with the quality Vidyo provides.
Great video quality in a secure VDI environment is exciting on its own, but VidyoDesktop VE offers many additional benefits: superb error resiliency, consistent quality across all endpoints, interoperability support and the ability to scale to large volumes of users cost-effectively.
VidyoDesktop VE is available now for XenDesktop and XenApp; click here to learn more.

The weather has been kind of shitty here over the past few weeks, but luckily the rain held off all night. After all the grades were done, we got burritos and drank a few beers. I didn't shoot many photos, so what you see is what you get… I really like the panning shot of Tristen.

Oct 20, 2011
Trover is a new service that allows users from all around the world to share photos of their favorite spots though a simple, elegant grid. Considering Trover launched just this April, the amount of members that it has compiled since then is certainly impressive. The service now boasts more then 100,000 "Trovers†in over 160 countries, which is even more impressive knowing that the service originally launched solely for the iPhone. But now it's out on Android and the question is: how much of an impact will this service have? Like Zaarly, which I talk about more here, Trover is held back only through the cooperation of its users. They are what really makes this product work.
Trover is essentially a giant commonplace for people to post pictures about their favorite spots which are geotagged on a map. Think of it as a less organized Yelp. A short description about the spot is included and there is a Thank button and a comment field. The 'Thank' button is basically a 'like' button, or a +1 button for you Google+ people. However, Trover is not the Michelin Guide Book; every entry is recorded by some user that you probably don't know and while your login is your Facebook account, this is still the internet, people. This open world works both for and against Trover. For example, looking up places near me around the Ohio State Campus I found a great photo of a secluded dock set back in a swamp at a nearby park which would be a great place to go hiking with my girlfriend.
This is where Trover shines, showing you places off the beaten path that are great small places that you'd have a hard time finding in a typical guide book. Where Trover fails are the entries that are more or less useless. Setting my position in Times Square, I found a lot of random meaningless entries, like one of two bikes chained to a stand or another of some pigeons on the sidewalk. This creates an over-saturation of information. New York is such a huge city that there where hundreds of 'Discoveries' within a half mile radius of my location, every unnecessary post just increases the odds of missing something notable.
Overall though, Trover does bring something very exciting and unique which is important because it needs to be able to differentiate itself from other user recommendation apps such as Yelp and TripAdvisor. They do this by being very visual and by sorting attractions by distance away. Also, Trover applies to any kind of location from restaurants to parks to sidewalk vendors. Trover allows the user to be more spontaneous than Yelp, and the ability to simply pull out a phone and see places that other people recommend is very powerful. A nice setting in Trover is the ability to switch between locations that are within walking, biking, and driving distances, which is a great solution for those boring afternoon dilemmas where there doesn't seem to be anything to do. Technically Trover has the potential to completely remove those kinds of days from our lives completely. I'm not saying that it will, but in looking at its capabilities Trover asks all the users in your area if they have a spot they recommend visiting. It is all about finding and sharing the little known gems in your area.
We'll see if this service takes off, because there definitely are many opportunities to lose focus. It will be very tempting to open the service to advertising, for example, and the whole community vibe will be lost, spoiled by the corporate hand. But if we've learned anything in these past few years, it would be to never underestimate the power of social integration. If it can be shared, tweeted or posted, chances are it will. People will never stop wanting to discover new, undiscovered spots. If Trover manages to stay the course and keep this an intimate service that lets you see the same city from the viewpoint of hundreds of different perspectives the sky is the limit and Trover will become a household name in the future.

If sources are true, Apple's best may not be out yet! According to reports, Apple will reveal its killer app in the upcoming iOS7 in the Worldwide Developers Conference in June. The next version of iOS will feature a fantastic mobile wallet feature offering itself up as a digital wallet users can carry around.
Apple has explored this area a little bit in the Passbook app it introduced in the iOS6.0 version. Passbook is an app that lets users store movie tickets, coupons, airline tickets and other digital retail data that users can present at stores and cafes and at the airport to pay for items.
The app however is not a true digital wallet. The concept of the 'Digital Wallet' is to allow users to pay for items directly from their phones without any paper cash or cheque involved. In order to enable this feature in the next Gen iPhones, Apple will need to support the new OS with Near Field Communication hardware something missing in action in Apple products up to this point. Samsung, HTC, Sony and BlackBerry phones support NFC. If sources are to be believed however, Apple's new phone might work on a technology that will perform as a digital wallet but without NFC! A very interesting development from Apple that consumers will be dying to see!
Android introduced its version of Passbook to rival Apple but there is no true digital wallet app on any platform to date. The world is waiting with baited breath for Apple to come out with the new iOS7 and its show-stopper, Digital Wallet!

A guilty pleasure you can't seem to quit?
Definitely white chip macadamia nut Subway cookies. I have a pretty consistent dietary regimen that I follow on a daily basis and a Subway sandwich is one of my 5 meals. Yet for some reason, every time I go to get my sandwich, I have to get at least one cookie… Sometimes, it can be up to 12 and I'll smash them as if I hadn't seen food in months.
What superpower would you love to have for 24 hours?
Well, first I would see if I could cheat the system and be able to stop time in its tracks. If so, I would pause the entire world, knock out the next 6 months of my to-do list, read a couple hundred books on business, mindset, and the 50 Shades of Grey trilogy (jk, already read those), do a little to help the environment like clean up trash off the beaches and the streets, surprise some less fortunate people with clothes, blankets, maybe a tent if they're homeless, and then I'd probably go check up on the Jenner sisters, see what they're up to, maybe bring them some Starbucks with my phone number on it cuz Starbucks is life, and then un-pause time for about an hour, see if Kendall texts me since we all know Kylie got her boo thang, and if not, pause time again and do it all over again.
But, if I can't pause time, I'd like to be able to fly, because flying would be badass.
How do you like your eggs in the morning?
Scrambled. Cuz I can't do anything else.
If the world was coming to an end and you were allowed one last kiss, who would be lucky enough to land on your lips?
My 3 year old boxer, Brutus. For sure.
Which flavour of ice cream best describes your personality and why?
Definitely cookie dough. Because on the outside, you see this normal looking vanilla flavoured ice cream, but then when you start getting into it, you get surprised with these random bites of deliciousness which can be related to many things.
Thanks Vince!

If you're like me, you were probably starting to salivate over two devices announced by Samsung yesterday at the IFA show in Berlin. According to TechCrunch, one of Samsung's representatives at the IFA show all but confirmed that the 5.3″ Galaxy Note Phablet and the Galaxy Tab 7.7 will not be making their way stateside.
These two devices were arguably the hottest devices to be announced at IFA, and many Android and Me readers (and several AAM staffers) suggested they were really looking forward to these devices when we covered them yesterday.
The one promising factor is that the representatives at trade shows generally don't really know much about the future plans for devices launched at these shows. Often times when we've asked representatives from manufacturers about the release plans for devices, they either don't know or can't tell us any details.
Though we hold out a bit of hope that the representative was wrong and that these devices will truly be coming to the US eventually, the chances are much slimmer than they were yesterday. Sadly, it looks like we'll have to wait for whatever device Samsung dreams up next.
Anyone else hugely disappointed by this?

PESHAWAR, Pakistan, Sept. 22 (UPI) -- The death toll climbed to 78 in twin explosions at a Pakistani church Sunday that also injured 120 people, officials in Peshawar said.
Around 600 worshipers had gathered at All Saints Church, where many members of the congregation were participating in a food giveaway on the front lawn, Dawn News reported.
"As soon as the service finished and the food was being distributed, all of a sudden we heard one explosion, followed by another," said witness Azim Ghori.
There was no immediate claim of responsibility from the Taliban or other militant groups for what The New York Times called the worst attack on Pakistan's Christian minority in years.
The incident was immediately condemned by Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif and by the Pakistan Ulema Council, the nation's largest clerical body, which issued a statement saying the group was "standing with our Christian brothers in this tragedy."
Capital City Police Chief Mohammad Ali Babakhel and Police Superintendent Ismail Tariq confirmed there were two bombers, one inside and one outside the church.
Tariq said the two attackers opened fire at security guards, before entering the church, killing one and injuring another.
Inspector Gen. Shafqat Malik of the Bomb Disposal Squad said the remains of the two attackers were recovered and sent for forensic tests.

qIndustrial Crystallization continues to be a fertile but also a rapidly changing field of research. The changes are the consequence of a shift of focus in Industry where rapid expansion occurs in fine chemicals, food and pharmaceuticals. In research we see an increasing attention for manipulation of product quality with an emphasis on polymorphism and nano-particles, a shift of focus from design of large continuous dedicated crystallizers to control of batch-wise operated basic equipment, an increasing attention for modeling and optimization of precipitation and anti-solvent crystallization processes and a concentration on crystallization of organic molecular compounds instead of inorganic salts. The successful series of BIWIC workshops on industrial crystallization were initiated and are to this day coordinated by Professor Joachim Ulrich. By allowing this workshop to travel over the world from Halle in Germany to Rouen in France to Kyongju in South Korea and to Delft in the Netherlands, the BIWIC workshop has become a truly international forum for scientific debate without losing its informal atmosphere.qKerman, Iran 1 School of Chemical and Petroleum Engineering, Shiraz University , Shiraz, Iran aquot;Corresponding author. ...

Guide to DIY Photo Booth Backdrops
Extra photos for bloggers: 1, 2, 3
Party time! Excellent!
'Tis the season for some serious partying and these days no party is complete without a photo booth.
Setting up a photo booth is as simple as providing a backdrop and encouraging your pals to point their smartphones toward it.
We're here to help you with that first part (you herd your own friends in front it).
We'll teach you three easy-peasy ways to craft a party poppin' backdrop.
Give your party photos that extra schwing and have your friends chanting "we're not worthy! we're not worthy!"
Learn to Make 3 Simple Festive DIY Backdrops
Why It's Cool
Having easy-to-create photo backdrops in your back pocket (or more practically, wherever you keep your craft supplies) is sweet 'cause a backdrop adds pizazz to your party photos. It'll get people in silly and fun moods for taking photos and contribute to the general merriment of your soiree.
- Party streamers (the dollar store is a great place to find fun colors that won't break the bank)
- Scissors
- Hot glue gun and glue sticks
- Dowel (any sort of pole to glue the streamers onto will do)
Post-it Note Backdrop –
- Post-it notes (that's it!)
Wrapping Paper Backrop –
- Roll of fun wrapping paper
- Thumb Tacks (Duct Tape or Masking Tape will do too)
Streamer Backdrop, STEP 1: Measure
Cut your streamers into 6 foot strips.
We found cutting them to 6 feet and hanging them a few inches off the ground will let even our tallest friends in on the fun.
A backdrop that measures approximately 6 feet long and 6 feet wide takes about 10 small rolls of streamers.
STEP 2: Cut Some Fringe
Cut fringe in some of the streamers to add some flair.
Fold your streamer to make the process faster. Cut each side almost all the way to the middle. Unroll the folded streamer and you will have some groovy fringe.
STEP 3: Twist and Shout
Another way to add texture is to twist sections of the streamer into cute li'l circles.
Pinch the streamer and twist to create circles all the way from top to bottom.
STEP 4: Glue the Streamers
Glue the end of your streamer strips to a dowel.
Glue a base layer of normal strips (not the fringed or twisted streamers) first and then glue the textured streamers on top.
STEP 5: Get to Partying!
Use as many or as few colors as you want and get ready to party down.
Post-it Note Backdrop
Pick a wall and start posting those notes.
You can color block or make a fun geometric pattern.
Once the wall is covered in Post-its you are ready for some serious camera fun.
Wrapping Paper Backdrop
Grab a fun roll of wrapping paper and hang it on an empty wall with thumb tacks or tape.
Well, that was easy!
Let the good photo times roll.
Trick Out Your Photo Booth
You DIY the Backdrop, We've Got Everything Else Covered
Prop up a phone and let your guests snap their own photos.
The Shutter Remote
Huzzah! Add pizzazz to your photos. Woot!
The Pennant Party Box
Document your photo booth's shenanegins throughout the night.
Digital Time-Lapse Cam
Let your guests show how they really feel.
Chalkboard Speech Bubble
Hand your friends photo on instant film. Instantly!
Instax 210 Instant Cam
Use your phone to trigger your DSLR by sound! Just yell to snap.
The Triggertrap

Animate Principles of Design
The class will learn about 6 Design Principles. These are three sets of opposites:
- BALANCE vs. EMPHASIS – mostly about positioning of elements
- HARMONY vs. CONTRAST – mostly about colors
- UNITY vs. VARIETY – mostly about the elements in image
In a painting class you would likely be asked to create two different paintings showing two of these principles. Since we're working with Flash animation, you will make one animation that starts with one design principle and then changes to show the opposite principle.
Mr. Machtay will show examples of these principles from classical art, and also examples from previous students' Flash animations.
Your animation should be at least 120 frames (10 seconds). Do your best to "tell a story" with your animation (instead of just having shapes move around)! In the examples shown in class: Contrast to Harmony shows a boat gliding across water; Balance to Emphasis shows a chicken falling on a scale; and Unity to Variety shows a row of identical houses broken up by new buildings. Create your own idea!
Hand in SWF file to Dropoff. Due Block Day, February 20/21.

It's been a good week for Google users. After the release of the much-improved version 2 of Gmail for iOS (finally bringing multiple account support) and the convenience of the new "Save to Google Drive" extension for Chrome, the end of the week sees the dramatically upgraded Google Maps finally back on the iPhone. Each of them more than worthy of an install.
As if that wasn't enough, today has seen a huge update to Google+ on the desktop, Android and iOS. Lots of new features have been added, as well as a new option in Gmail to share images directly to G+.
For a while there it seemed unclear to me just what Google were going to do with Plus but, with these recent changes, they have finally started delivering on their promise to take advantage of the integration possibilities offered by their more mature products such as Gmail, Calendar and Search. Unlike rivals Facebook and Dropbox they have a unique opportunity to make Google+ (and Drive) a seamless part of the "Google Experience" on both desktop and mobile. As far as I'm concerned, the more of that we see, the better.
- Gmail Version 2.0 (itunes.apple.com)
- "Save to Google Drive" for Chrome (chrome.google.com)
- Google Maps for iPhone (itunes.apple.com)
- 25 new Google+ features (plus.google.com)

Chapter 10 Summary
Nick wakes up at his parents' home in Barwick. He attends the local Barwick Fete celebration held in Abbott's Field, a local park. Gerald is the guest speaker. Gerald and Nick spend the day with Don and Dot, Nick's parents. Gerald displays his competitive side when he joins in welly-whanging, which requires throwing a Wellington boot as far as possible. Gerald plays until he wins a pig.
Nick and Gerald later have cocktails at the Guests' home, and his constantly empty glass preoccupies Gerald. Gerald tells the Guests that the Ouradis had an older son who was killed by a lorry in Beirut. Later, when Nick drops Gerald off to make his speech at the Barwick Fete, he realizes that Gerald has left his speech in the car. Nick follows him to give it to Gerald and sees Penny with her hand in...

The design and interior décor are to a high standard with all home comforts. Patio doors in the living room open out on to the outside dining area under the veranda which looks over the swimming pool surrounded by large expanses of lawned gardens adorned with flower beds and palm trees. Situated on the ground floor, the apartment provides greater safety for children and others who do not wish to negotiate stairs. Private parking is 10 metres away. WiFi internet is installed.
15 min walk away, white sandy beaches stretch for miles in either direction flanked by dunes and small cliffs providing glorious walks. Travelling along the coast to Peniche you will encounter some stunning ocean views to the Berlenga Islands which you can visit by boat from Peniche. The islands are a nature reserve with nesting sites along the rugged cliffs and coves. The Berlengas are also a major attraction for scuba diving & this stretch of coastline is a haven for surfers. The resort boasts the 5 star Marriott with other activities.
Golf: Golfers will not be disappointed with the course and its manicured quality, suffice to say it has ratings of Nº1 in Portugal (Peugeot guide) and Nº13 in Europe (Golf World). The views as you walk around the course resort are stunning and constantly changing from cliff top ocean views, local countryside and pine forest bordering the lush fairways. A truly great golfing experience.
Club hire and PGA professionals are available for lesson. If you are planning on quite a few rounds of golf, then you can have a change of venue and play at the Golden Eagle Golf Club or Bom Sucesso or Royal Óbidos, all close by.
The clubhouse is well equipped with a well stocked shop and a bar and restaurant for light snacks or full meals with a choice of local or international cuisine.
For discounted golf rates, there is a range of websites with special offers.
Hi. We came to live and work permanently in Portugal in 1991 and have grown to love this quiet and unassuming country. In 2006, we purchased the apartment also rent out a house in the Coimbra area.
Steve purchased this apartment in 2006
At the time of purchase, Praia Del Rey resort was already established and well developed which gave us confidence to buy the apartment off plan. We were delighted with the finshed result and particularly pleased with the beautiful gardens and pool area.
Just a nice place to be
We were really impressed with this beautiful apartment . Everything was spotless and clean . The kitchen had everything you would possibly need . Swimming pool just outside the patio doors with lovely well maintained gardens , nice and clean garden furniture with barbecue . Very quite and peaceful . Steve the owner has been fantastic any queries I had , I emailed him and with in a few hours he emailed me back . We would recommend this luxury apartment to our family and friends. We played golf whilst we was there , the golf course is only two minutes away by car , playa del Ray is fantastic course to play , also golf club is very friendly and food is great too. We visited four restaurants while there and every one I would recommend . I can honestly say we had a great holiday . Thanks Steve and we will be uses your services again . From Mark, Carol,Barry and Helen from Sheffield .
Just got back from this lovely apartment, which is well equipped with everything you need to enjoy your stay. It's just a few minutes by car to the beach, which can be accessed through the marriot hotel on the resort. If you speak nicely to the hotel staff they'll let you use the hotels pool also! Several other beaches are only 10 - 15 minutes away , but you could equally stay on the resort and find plenty to do, from golf, tennis, table tennis, mountain biking, even paintball!
Steve, the owner, made the booking very easy and very easy to deal with, and one of the few apartments I found that allowed a 10 day stay. All in all thoroughly recommended!
Relaxing holiday enjoyed by all in a top notch apartment. Open the lounge doors and step into tranquil, manicured gardens and a lovely private swimming pool. We could not get our 5 year old out of the pool! 5 star golf course on resort and world class surf beaches all within a 5km radius for sporty types. Highly recommended.
This was our second stay at this appartment and we enjoyed it once again a lot. It was a bit like coming home.
Our children (4&7) and we had a big pleasure by swimming in the pool, on the beach and during our trips to the various great monuments to be visited in this region.
The appartment is spacy and with nice furniture and has everything to spend real good holidays.
Quite possible that we will have somewhen a third stay.
The apartment is spacious, comfortable and well appointed. The kitchen has all the modcons you don't expect from a holiday let, and they all work. There were 3 adults in our party and we had more than enough space.
The position is ideal with doors from the kitchen and living room giving out onto the garden area and the pool which we had almost to ourselves.
The apartment is at the end of a quiet road at the start of the large Praia del Rey complex and once you are familiar with the area it is easy to get around. There also seemed to be a shuttle bus stopping nearby (but we had a car so didn't use it).
There are several restaurants in nearby Serra del Rey which are good. I recommend the Tribeca. Peniche is a short 20 minute drive away where you are spoilt for choice of fish restaurants.
It's about an hour from Lisbon depending on traffic so an easy journey.
Once again a very comfortable and relaxing apartment of a very high quality which I would recommend.
I've stayed in the apartment 2 times now, and have enjoyed both times thoroughly. First time was for our wedding anniversary weekend in September 2010 with just my husband , and the second time we brought our 2 teenage sons along too - both are mad keen golfers and they had a ball. The boys loved cafe Zanzibar and met up with other teenagers there, giving us time to explore the quaint little town of Obidos and the lagoons.
Apartment is light and airy and furnished to a high standard. Well equipped too and was spotlessly clean both times . Would certainly recommend to friends and family and hope to be back again in September
Golf: Golfers will not be disappointed with the course and its manicured quality, suffice to say it has ratings of Nº1 in Portugal (Peugeot guide) and Nº13 in Europe (Golf World). The views as you walk around the course are stunning and constantly changing from cliff top ocean views, local countryside and pine forest bordering the lush fairways. A truly great golfing experience.
Club hire and PGA proessionals are available for lesson. If you are planning on quite a few rounds of golf, then have a change of venue and play Bom Sucesso or Royal Óbidos, both close by.
The clubhouse is well equipped with a well stocked shop and a bar and restaurant for light snacks or full meals with a choice of local or international cuisine.
For discounted golf rates, there is a range of websites with special offers.
Besides golf, there are other ways to enjoy yourself. Relax and read a book or just unwind in the sun by the sheltered pool before an alfresco dinner on the terrace . Take a day trip and do some leisurely sight-seeing around the fascinating nearby historic sites, browse the local shops and markets, play tennis on one of 7 all-weather, floodlit courts. No need to bring your rackets, they can be hired. In Peniche, don't forget to stop and sample some freshly caught fish seared on the grill washed down with a bottle of 'vinho verde' a white wine unique to Portugal. Of World Heritage claim, the walled medieval city of Óbidos is close by with it's enchanting narrow streets and picturesque houses adorned with hanging baskets laden with geraniums. You will find orange trees and purple bougainvillea around every corner. Take a panoramic walk around the battlements if you can handle the heights.

Johnny Depp to Play Whitey Bulger in New Biopic
We're looking forward to hearing that accent.
In June 2011, infamous Boston mobster James "Whitey" Bulger was arrested in Santa Monica after more than ten years on the run (and on the FBI's Most Wanted List) — ample material for Hollywood, which already has several films in the works. Now, the Hollywood Reporter says that Johnny Depp will headline Oscar-winning director Barry Levinson's adaptation of Black Mass, a best-selling book about Bulger by two Boston Globe reporters. Ben Affleck and Matt Damon are also working on a similar project (as director and star, respectively), but we're more curious to see how Depp stacks up against Jack Nicholson, whose character in Martin Scorsese's The Departed was based on Bulger.

Born in Waterbury, Conn., Mr. Thieme moved to the Chicago area as a young boy and graduated from Palatine High School. He served in the 4th Infantry Division of the U.S. Army during World War II and was an active member of the American Legion Post 690 in Palatine. He was a machinist, and before he retired in 1984, he worked for many years at Pheoll Manufacturing Co. in Chicago. Mr. Thieme used to raise and breed huskies and belonged to a local archery club. After he retired, he moved to Ripon, Wis., where he enjoyed fishing. "He was a riot," said his daughter in-law Kathleen."He would keep people laughing." Other survivors include his wife of 49 years, Elizabeth; two sons, Mark and Wade; two sisters, Louise Sturm and Gertrude Krug; and two grandchildren. A service may be held at a later date.

I am determined to become a Krazy Coupon Lady. So far, I've subscribed to several couponing blogs, bought my newspapers, clipped my coupons, and organized them in a binder. Today was my first hands on lesson. I chose to start small. I decided on Walgreens and Staples as my targets for today. I did a little research (10 minutes) on the current deals and then headed off to the stores with my list in hand. I bought everything in the picture below (total value $45.93) for $9.80. Coupon savings of $36.13. Cool!
No comments on how I'll rot my teeth and then try to save them, hehe!

Just when you thought Aby baby's list of admirers couldn't get any longer, a new bird has flocked to his list. Gul Panag, after her sexy makeover for her latest flick Hello, has admitted to having a crush on Abhishek Bachchan. In her opinion he is the ideal guy. "Most would opt for Hrithik" she revealed but if she wanted to take someone more "interesting" home to mama Panag, she would opt for the Drona star.
Previously, Panag was known for dating Sikander Kher who happens to be Bachchan Junior's best bud. They starred in the debacle Summer 2007 and then called it quits. With her recent change of heart directed towards Junior B, one can't help but wonder if this is a tactic to reconnect with Kher. Anyhow, we know Ash will be keeping a keen eye on hubby dearest and watching Panag from afar!
