The effect of ageing on the face leads to loss of skin elasticity and support for the deeper facial structures. In the upper face, this can cause the brow to droop, the upper eyelid skin to become hooded and the lower eyelids to form bags. In the mid and lower face, the facial skin, cheek fat, and superficial muscles of the face and neck tend to slacken and droop. This causes wrinkling in the neck, deepening of facial folds, smile lines, jowls (sagging skin hanging below the jawline), and deep nasolabial folds (furrow between the upper lips and cheeks). All these effects are worse in people who have suffered chronic sun exposure and in those who smoke and the appearances can make people look older than they really are.
A facelift is an operation to try and reverse the effects of ageing on the mid and lower face and so rejuvenate the face to make it look younger. It is often combined with a brow lift and blepharoplasty surgery (eyelid reduction surgery) to address the upper part of the ageing face. There are many different types of facelift operation, which vary in complexity depending on which physical feature of the face needs to be addressed. For example, a standard face lift is primarily aimed at addressing the jowls and the neck area, but does not lift the drooping cheek fat, nor correct the deep nasolabial folds, whereas a composite/deep plane facelift, or a subperiosteal facelift can address the sagging mid portion of the face. A platysmaplasty is a procedure to tighten the platysma muscles in the neck at the front and at the same time remove any excess fat in this region and so can aid a standard facelift in providing a youthful definition to the neck. Sometimes a combination of all these techniques is required.
All of the facelift operations are performed under general anaesthesia and last between 2-4 hours. Some of the more complex procedures, when combined with brow surgery and eyelid surgery can take longer than this. Usually a 1-2 day stay in hospital is all that is required.
During a standard facelift, an incision (cut) is made on each side in the hairline above the ear extending just in front of the ear and then passing behind the ear back into the hairline. The skin is lifted off the face and the neck, and the underlying platysma muscle together with its fibrous attachment is pulled and tightened with stitches. The excess skin is pulled and excised and the wounds are closed with a combination of dissolving stitches and stitches that need to be removed after 7 days. In the composite/deep plane type of facelift, the incisions are the same but the skin and underlying layer are lifted together rather than separately. In the subperiosteal facelift, there are incisions in the hairline above each ear, as well as a small incision on the inside of the mouth in the upper gum line, and an additional cut just underneath the eyelashes of the lower eyelid. Using these incisions, the full thickness of the facial structures are elevated off the facial bones and lifted to a more youthful position, and held in place with deep stitches that dissolve. The wounds are then closed with a combination of stitches that dissolve and those that need to be removed after 7 days. The wounds are then covered with a bandage.
This is one of the most commonly performed cosmetic procedures and has high patient satisfaction and low complication rate.
Frequently asked questions
What are the benefits of a facelift?
How long does it take to recover from the surgery?
When will I notice the results and how long will they last?
Will I be told the risks and complications?
What follow-up appointments will there be?
Not everyone is suitable for a facelift. Suitability is a matter for you and Mr Johnson to discuss in clinic, following a thorough analysis of your medical history and a thorough clinical consultation. If you are suitable, during your consultation Mr Johnson will discuss with you the particular type of facelift that best addresses your facial concerns.
What are the benefits of facelift?
The results of the surgery will make your face look younger. The operation is very successful at increasing patient confidence and improving self-esteem.
The location of the scars is dependant on the type of facelift being performed and what combination of techniques are used. The standard scars are hidden in the hairline above each ear and then pass just in front of the ear and then pass behind the ear back into the hairline. If this is combined with a subperiosteal facelift there is an additional scar in the inside of the mouth in the upper gum line, and an additional cut just underneath the eyelashes of the lower eyelid. The scar for a platysmaplasty is 3-4 cm long located horizontally in the skin crease under the chin. All the external scars tend to be either hidden within the hair, or else concealed in natural skin creases making them as inconspicuous as possible.
A facelift is not a particularly painful procedure. During the operation strong painkillers are administered so that when patients wake up from the surgery they will be comfortable. It is normal for patients to experience some discomfort in the face and for the first day or postoperatively, strong painkillers can be administered if required. On discharge from hospital, any discomfort can usually be managed with simple tablet type painkillers such as paracetamol, etc.
How long does it take to recover from surgery?
It is normal to feel lethargic and tired for the first 2 weeks following surgery. Bruising and swelling can last for several weeks following surgery. Most people feel able to return to completely normal activities after 6 weeks.
When will I notice the results and how long will they last?
The improvement in facial appearance will be immediately apparent following a facelift. However, there will be some bruising and swelling which may last several weeks. The scars will undergo a natural maturation process involving a series of colour and texture changes over a period usually varying from 6 months to 2 years. The final result can usually be judged at around 6 months following surgery. It is important to note that the normal age-related effects on skin laxity continue to take place and over time will lead to a recurrence of the facial features affected by ageing.
Will I be told the risks and complications?
Any operation carries with it the risk of complication. Major complications, however, are uncommon following a facelift. During your initial consultation Mr Johnson will have a full discussion with you about the risks and complications of surgery. If you decide to go ahead with surgery, these risks will again be discussed as part of the consenting process. Fortunately, with correct patient selection and appropriate procedure selection, the risks are kept to an absolute minimum. It is important that you should be reassured that Mr Johnson will not agree to perform any cosmetic procedure on you unless he feels the benefits significantly outweigh the risks.
What follow-up appointments will there be?
Mr Johnson will come and see you on the ward after your surgery and will review you everyday throughout your hospital stay. After you have been discharged Mr Johnson will arrange to see you in clinic after 7-10 days to review the wound. He will then make arrangements to see you in clinic for longer-term follow-up appointments. You will be given contact details for the hospital and Mr Johnson's secretary should you wish at any time to discuss further aspects of your care or make additional arrangements for review.

10.2 Summary of your legal rights. We are under a legal duty to supply products and services that are in conformity with this contract.
11. Price and payment
11.1 Where to find the price for the AIRBRIO Services. The price of the AIRBRIO Services (which includes VAT) will be the price indicated on the order pages when you placed your order. We take all reasonable care to ensure that the price of the AIRBRIO Services advised to you is correct. However please see clause 11.3 for what happens if we discover an error in the price.
11.2 We will pass on changes in the rate of VAT. If the rate of VAT changes between your order date and the date we supply the AIRBRIO Services, we will adjust the rate of VAT that you pay.
11.3 What happens if we got the price wrong. It is always possible that, despite our best efforts, some of the services we sell may be incorrectly priced. We will normally check prices before accepting your order so that, where the AIRBRIO Service's correct price at your order date is less than our stated price at your order date, we will charge the lower amount. If the AIRBRIO Service's correct price at your order date is higher than the price stated to you, we will contact you for your instructions before we accept your order.
11.4 When you must pay and how you must pay. We will invoice you monthly in advance for the remainder of the AIRBRIO Services. You must pay each invoice within thirty calendar days after the date of the invoice.
11.5 We can charge interest if you pay late. If you do not make any payment to us by the due date we may charge interest to you on the overdue amount at the rate of 4% a year above the base lending rate of Bank of Ireland at Belfast from time to time. This interest shall accrue on a daily basis from the due date until the date of actual payment of the overdue amount, whether before or after judgment. You must pay us interest together with any overdue amount.
11.6 What to do if you think an invoice is wrong. If you think an invoice is wrong please contact us promptly to let us know. You will not have to pay any interest until the dispute is resolved. Once the dispute is resolved we will charge you interest on correctly invoiced sums from the original due date.
12. Our responsibility for loss or damage suffered by you
12.1 We are responsible to you for foreseeable loss and damage caused by us. If we fail to comply with these terms, we are responsible for loss or damage you suffer that is a foreseeable result of our breaking this contract or our failing to use reasonable care and skill, but we are not responsible for any loss or damage that is not foreseeable. Loss or damage is foreseeable if either it is obvious that it will happen or if, at the time the contract was made, both we and you knew it might happen, for example, if you discussed it with us during the sales process.
12.2 We do not exclude or limit in any way our liability to you where it would be unlawful to do so. This includes liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence or the negligence of our employees, agents or subcontractors; for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation; for breach of your legal rights in relation to the AIRBRIO Services; and for defective products under the Consumer Protection Act 1987
12.3 If defective digital content which we have supplied damages a device or digital content belonging to you and this is caused by our failure to use reasonable care and skill we will either repair the damage or pay you compensation. However, we will not be liable for damage which you could have avoided by following our advice to apply an update offered to you free of charge or for damage which was caused by you failing to correctly follow installation instructions or to have in place the minimum system requirements advised by us.
12.4 We are not liable for business losses. We only supply the products for domestic and private use. If you use the products for any commercial, business or re-sale purpose we will have no liability to you for any loss of profit, loss of business, business interruption, or loss of business opportunity.
13. How we may use your personal information
13.1 How we will use your personal information. We will use the personal information you provide to us:
(a) to supply the products to you;
(b) to process your payment for the products; and
(c) if you agreed to this during the order process, to give you information about similar products that we provide, but you may stop receiving this at any time by contacting us.
13.2 We may pass your personal information to credit reference agencies. Where we extend credit to you for the products we may pass your personal information to credit reference agencies and they may keep a record of any search that they do.
13.3 We will only give your personal information to other third parties where the law either requires or allows us to do so.
14. Other important terms
14.1 We may transfer this agreement to someone else. We may transfer our rights and obligations under these terms to another organisation. We will contact you to let you know if we plan to do this. If you are unhappy with the transfer you may contact us to end the contract within two weeks of us telling you about it and we will refund you any payments you have made in advance for AIRBRIO Services not provided. However the provisions relating to the return of the AIRBRIO Product in clause 9.2(a) shall have effect.
14.2 You need our consent to transfer your rights to someone else. You may only transfer your rights or your obligations under these terms to another person if we agree to this in writing. We may not agree if the proposed transfer involves the AIRBRIO Services bought under this contract being provided to a second patient.
14.3 Nobody else has any rights under this contract. This contract is between you and us. No other person shall have any rights to enforce any of its terms.
14.4 If a court finds part of this contract illegal, the rest will continue in force. Each of the paragraphs of these terms operates separately. If any court or relevant authority decides that any of them are unlawful, the remaining paragraphs will remain in full force and effect.
14.5 Even if we delay in enforcing this contract, we can still enforce it later. If we do not insist immediately that you do anything you are required to do under these terms, or if we delay in taking steps against you in respect of your breaking this contract, that will not mean that you do not have to do those things and it will not prevent us taking steps against you at a later date. For example, if you miss a payment and we do not chase you but we continue to provide the AIRBRIO Services, we can still require you to make the payment at a later date.
14.6 Which laws apply to this contract and where you may bring legal proceedings.

Home Depot Data Breach Derivative Suit Dismissed
A U.S. District Court judge has dismissed a derivative suit that had been filed by shareholders of Home Depot.
In 2014, Home Depot suffered a massive data breach that resulted in the theft of 56 million debit and credit cards. The breach led to $192 million in net losses, according to The National Law Review.
Shareholder plaintiffs alleged Home Depot did not have proper network security in place. In their complaint, they claimed Home Depot should have had a firewall, properly maintained malware and antivirus software, and a company policy that required network testing and deleting cardholder data. The plaintiffs claimed this failure breached the company's duties of care and loyalty, wasted corporate assets and violated the Securities Exchange Act.
Judge Thomas W. Thrash Jr. cited Federal Rule of Civil Procedure Rule 23.1 when he dismissed the case. Rule 23.1 requires shareholders in cases such as these to explain in their complaint what efforts were taken by the board to improve security or describe why the board did not make these efforts.
Thrash explained plaintiffs must "show with particularity facts beyond a reasonable doubt that a majority of the Board faced substantial liability because it consciously failed to act in the face of a known duty to act." The judge said it was not enough to prove Home Depot was slow in implementing security procedures.
"Directors' decisions must be reasonable, not perfect."
The company settled a lawsuit with cardholders earlier this year that totaled $19.5 million.

Representative Linda Chapa LaVia has been feeling the heat on this IHSA sham she has in place for this afternoon. Turns out, a staffer reached out to the IHSA and offered - if time permitted - the IHSA a chance for 'rebuttal'.
Yes...not testimony. Not an opportunity to speak their piece. Nope. A 'rebuttal'. Thus...confirming that this whole mess - orchestrated by State Representative Linda Chapa LaVia was rigged from the very beginning.
From the IHSA Executive Director Marty Hickman on today's hearing:
"After the Illinois High School Association (IHSA) announced that it would not accept the invitation to attend the Elementary and Secondary Education Committee hearing scheduled for today (October 3), a committee spokesperson followed up on Wednesday and offered the IHSA an opportunity for a "rebuttal" at the conclusion of Friday's hearing if time permitted.
We appreciate the committee's recognition of the flaw in the format of this hearing and the small concession they were willing to make. However, the verbiage "rebuttal" reaffirms our belief that this hearing isn't about gathering information and that the witnesses have likely been selected based upon what they will say about, and against, the IHSA.
Our suggestion to cancel Friday's hearing, just as the July hearing was canceled, and rescheduling it with a more equitable format on a mutually agreeable date, time and location was not heeded.
The decision to not accept the invitation to attend this hearing was done with careful consideration and the offer for a rebuttal did not change our position on attending. We believe that a hearing of this nature should be about open conversation and honest dialogue with the affected stakeholders.
We believe that can and will occur, and remain open to it, whether it occurs in a hearing, or some other setting. We plan to review the hearing early next week and will respond if warranted."

There are many book series I love immense, you might be better off saying I have an addiction in reading them. I am pretty sure my dear husband can vouch for this haha. I will post a couple of series over the course of a couple of weeks as I have a few.
Let me start with two of my favourite ones, I absolutely adore these and read them over and over again, especially when I'm in need of a light easy read. It's like reading about friends and being surrounded by friends. Richelle Mead has done a superb job with the below series. Can't wait for the two remaining books to come out.
Vampire Academy – This is a fantastic feel good young adult romance series I absolutely adore. This is a series I keep reading over and over again especially when I'm not well. This is a book series of 6 books and is about Rose Hathaway and Lissa Dragomir. Rose is Lissa's guardian, it's a book based on friendship and love. I'm not sure what is the best way to describe the series in a couple of sentences but I hope this helps; taken from the official Vampire Academy website:
Two races of vampires walk our world. One, the Moroi, are alive and wield elemental magical. The other, the Strigoi, are undead and evil—feeding on the innocent to survive. Rose Hathaway—a half-vampire with poor impulse control—is training to be a bodyguard for a Moroi princess. Learning to decapitate and stake is hard enough, but Rose's real danger may lie in an illicit romance with one of her instructors…

Wildlife artist Beatrice Bork is our May 2017 Artist of the Month! Bork was a finalist in The Artist's Magazine's Annual Art Competition. Her wildlife painting Through the Shoals is seen below. Read more about the artist and her inspirations!
Who I Am
I consider myself both an artist and naturalist, and each helps feed the other. I became serious about art in high school, and that led me to study graphic design and illustration all through college. Almost everything I do is in order to live a creative life. I am a signature member of Society of Animal Artists and Artists for Conservation, which gives me chances to show my work internationally. I'm very proud that collectors from around the world have acquired my work.
On Nature and New Beginnings
I created Through the Shoals after completing treatments for breast cancer and, frankly, the color pink was not appealing during that time. The flamingoes became my way of owning the experience — they are my pink warriors.
I have always been inspired by nature and animals, and continue to be today. This piece was especially invigorating for me, for it was the first painting I'd done after months of downtime. I had this feeling of renewal and excitement to get started again—my mind was, and still is, full of creative energy.
The Process
I love observation, which is how my process begins. I sketch and I photograph, and hold onto these resources and memories, because my "creative spark" may not happen right away. This can be immediate, or years later. First, I observed the flamingoes in Trinidad, and it took another year and "the reason" to start this piece. Finally, I began with a rough sketch, and worked on the composition through a series drawings, which used all of my resources to make sure my rendering was accurate. Color palettes are based on the mood I want to evoke, and what works with the subject. I work loosely at first, and build my paintings with layers until I'm satisfied, which leads to this final piece.
To Other Artists
My advice is the same that's been given to me, and that is: Your style will come on it's own, but you have to let it. Be open and true to yourself. The more personal your paintings are, the more universal their appeal.

The Amigos Portugueses do Peel Memorial recently reached a milestone, raising a total of $1,305,700 to both fulfill and exceed their $1M pledge to Osler Foundation. The funds will support redevelopment initiatives at the new Peel Memorial Centre for Integrated Health and Wellness.
"Building the new Peel Memorial takes a lot of community support and we are incredibly grateful to the Amigos Portugueses do Peel Memorial for its fundraising efforts and the remarkable accomplishment of exceeding its one million dollar pledge," said Ken Mayhew, President and CEO, William Osler Health System Foundation. "Their generosity and commitment have helped us realize the vision of a new Peel Memorial which is poised to take on an innovative new role, shaping the future of health care in this community."
"However more needs to be done to raise money to help complete construction and fund the purchase of millions of dollars of equipment to be installed in the new Peel Memorial. The leadership demonstrated by the generosity of the Amigos will raise sights and inspire philanthropy throughout our community in support of this important project," he added.
The Amigos Portugueses do Peel Memorial gathered to celebrate this achievement during an exclusive open house at the Peel Memorial redevelopment office in Brampton on Friday January 15. Manuel Alexandre, Chair of the Amigos Portugueses do Peel Memorial presented Osler Foundation with a cheque for $1,305,700.
"It was very exciting to present that cheque," said Manuel Alexandre. "Our volunteers do this out of the goodness of their hearts and we have a lot to cheer about. Our dedicated partners at LiUNA Local 183, Local 506 and OPDC gave us an important boost by raising additional funds for Peel Memorial. Our collective effort helps ensure our community has access to the equipment, facilities and programs needed to continue to provide leading-edge health care to our community."
The Amigos Portugueses do Peel Memorial have worked in close partnership with LiUNA Local 183 and Local 506 over the past four years by helping to organize fundraising events in support of Osler Foundation including dances, barbeques, golf and bocce tournaments. The funds raised will enable the new Peel Memorial to provide specialized outpatient-based care, including urgent care, day surgery, and clinics that help individuals better manage chronic conditions such as asthma, diabetes and kidney disease.
During the open house, guests received an exclusive tour of the Peel Memorial mock up rooms which strive to replicate some of the most common rooms to be built in the new facility. These include a triage area (for the Urgent Care Centre), a typical exam room, and a Major Procedures Room. These rooms are designed to replicate the fixtures, fittings, layout and working environment for the new Peel Memorial Centre for Integrated Health and Wellness.
Construction is moving steadily ahead at the new Peel Memorial and the building will be completed by fall 2016. Following a period of equipment installation, training and orientation, the new facility will be fully operational in early 2017. While Queen's Park will pay 90 per cent of the cost of construction, Osler Foundation must raise $30 million through the community to help complete the construction and to provide 100% of the funds to equip the facility. When fully operational, the community will have expanded access to urgent care, dialysis, hi-tech diagnostic services, day surgery, senior's programs and much more.

On our stormy day, while waiting for things to warm up (it never really did), I did a quick pastel demonstration of Chimney Rock from our studio window. Next, we headed up to Sedona's Cultural Park where there was shelter and a panorama with the Cockscomb butte, Doe Mesa and Bear Mountain in the distance. I did another pastel of the scene, plus a little oil sketch.

Yes, it's action cam season. Sony's entered the market, Contour has updated its line with the Contour+2. But what about the latest from the brand that's come to define the category—the Kleenex of action cams, if you will?
We've been putting GoPro's highly anticipated Hero 3 Black edition through some rigorous testing. And it seems pretty safe to say it's still at the top of a very rugged mountain.
Disclaimer: The software on the Hero 3 was not yet final. Some features were missing, and the smartphone apps were not yet available for testing. Its rating is subject to change.
GoPro's most feature-packed action camera to date.
Boarders of all types, skiers, bikers, drivers, divers, base jumpers; you get the picture. Basically anyone who spends time outside, and wants to share it with the world.
From the front, the Hero 3 looks a hell of a lot like the old Hero 2, with a larger, slightly higher-up lens. Peep it from the side, though, and you'll see it's way thinner and lighter, with a case that's waterproof to 197 feet and has a more-secure locking mechanism, a Wi-Fi remote control, and several mounting options. The Hero now uses Micro SD cards (up to 64GB) instead of full-sized. There's a built-in 3.5mm mic jack.
If you've used a GoPro before, it's very familiar. There are two main buttons: one on top for start/stop/record, and one on the front for navigating menus, which display on a tiny (not backlit) LCD screen. Shooting modes include Movie, Still, Timelapse, and Burst. There are a million options in the menus. There's also a third button for turning Wi-Fi on and off.
Image quality. The Hero 3 is capable of truly beautiful shots. In daylight—which is when action cameras are most often used—it's hands down better than the rest of the field. Images are super sharp (especially in Protune mode, which we'll talk about in a second).
It's unfinished. As we said, software was not yet final, but there are some very strange anomalies. Sometimes it handles contrast impeccably, sometimes it crushes shadows. Auto white balance performance is very inconsistent. Loop mode is not yet enabled, and the iOS and Android apps (which pack a lot of functionality) won't launch until December. We got some weird errors in testing the timelapse feature, where suddenly we would get 20 frame that were just green, then it'd come back to life. Worst of all, occasionally it completely froze for no reason and we had to do a battery pull. Again, the believe these are beta issues, but we wouldn't buy it until they're fixed.
It shoots 4K video at 15 frames per second. Basically nobody (except suuuuuuper rich people) has a 4K TV or monitor yet, so there's nothing you can watch it on in all its glory. Sure you could crop way in and make it 1080p, but they you lose the wide angle. And the footage is gorgeous—until something moves in the frame, then it's unbearably choppy. It's not a flaw, it's just a pointless feature.
- The Hero has by far the most mounting options of any action cam. It's hard to imagine an activity you couldn't use it for.
- There are so. Many. Options. That's good for extremely detailed level of control over how your shot looks. But it also makes navigating deep into the menus (which still are not totally intuitive) a pain in the ass.
- Footage from the Hero 3 is sharper than any action camera we've tested, ousting the previous champ (the Contour+2) and easily besting the Hero 2 and the Sony.
- You can tilt the Hero 3 up and down when surfing, whereas the Contour+2 and Sony Action Cam were locked in place and shooting too low on my surfboard. The only problem is that you can't truly lock its position; when I duckdived through a big wave it would get pushed down and I'd have to readjust.
- It has Protune! What the hell is that? The Hero 3 makes a lot of adjustments on the fly for contrast, sharpness, and colour when you're shooting in Basic mode. At first glance they're prettier, but you sacrifice image quality—a lot of detail gets lost in shadows. Shooting in Protune not only opens up other framerates and resolutions, but it boosts the bitrate and doesn't do any compensation. The resulting footage has a flatter, but far more detailed look. It basically gives you raw video which you can really tweak in editing. Pros and semi-pros will love this feature (as we do).
- Battery life is about on par with the Hero 2, which isn't fantastic. It was mostly depleted after an hour of shooting, which raises another point. The battery meter uses three bars to tell you how much juice you have left. Not nearly enough info. A percentage reader would be much better.
- The Hero 3 isn't compatible with the old waterproof cases because of the slightly different layout, so you have to use the case it comes with. Thankfully, the new case is compatible with all previous mounts (for bikes, boards, helmets, etc).
- There are mini USB and Micro HDMI ports. If you shoot at 120fps and play back via HDMI to a TV, it will look like regular speed. You have to slow it down with software on a computer. Also, the cover for these ports does not attach, and you will most definitely lose it. But you don't really need it, so whatever.
- The included, wearable, waterproof (to 10 feet) Wi-Fi remote can change modes and start/stop recording from as far as 600 feet away. By comparison, the smartphone apps for the Contour and Sony which connect via Bluetooth max out at about 15-20 feet. GoPro claims the remote can control up to 50 cameras at once, though we weren't able to test that.
- Low-light footage is a bit of a disappointment. As you can see in the bike tests (one done at dusk and one at night), the Hero 3 gains up to brighten the image, but it adds a lot of noise. In the night shot, the Sony is the clear winner.
- Overcranking for slow-motion works really well. Shooting 1080p at 60fps then slowing it down to 24fps (it's 30fps in the video) looks great and you don't lose any detail. Shooting at 720p at 120fps then slowing it to 24fps (again, the video shows 30fps) produces buttery 5x slow motion and it still looks great even on a 1080p TV. There are so many resolution/frame-rate combinations, you could get lost in them.
- Of the three cameras, it is by far the most comfortable to wear, thanks to its lightness and smaller footprint.
- You can flip the video if you're mounting the camera upside down, but that's it. A rotating lens, like the Contours have, would be a welcome improvement.
- You can get various BacPacs for the camera, including the Battery BakPak which should double your battery life, and the LCD Touch BacPac which lets you frame your shots, review your footage, and makes navigating the menus slightly less painful.
It's already the best action camera we've used, but there are too many software glitches right now to give it our highest rating. If those get fixed, this will be a must-buy. But even if they don't, you should still seriously consider it.
The only thing other reason to hesitate is the price; £360 ain't cheap, and you could get the Hero 3 Silver or White editions for £280 or £200, respectively. That said, we think the image quality is worth the £360. It's a great gadget. [GoPro]

Gary Lee accepts delivery of six new mountain bikes for Camp Three Falls from James Stanley, store manager, US Bike Company. The staff at US Bike have gone out of their way (literally) to help us procure these bicycles, along with helmets, water bottles, and repair parts and equipment. James personally drove from the US Bike Company store in Camarillo to Three Falls to deliver and set up the bikes.
This purchase was funded by a grant from the Channel Islands Bicycle Club. We now have 15 mountain bikes in various sizes. This summer we'll be using them for several new activities that we'll be adding to the camp program, taking advantage of the great riding trails in the Los Padres National Forest around the Lockwood Valley and Mount Pinos area.
January 2013 update: The Channel Islands Bicycle Club has supplemented their original grant to Camp Three Falls with an additional $2,000, which will enable us to purchase additional cycling equipment to further improve our program. A big thanks once again to the Channel Islands Bicycle Club!

This instrument demonstrates that water can be raised by a rope (or chain) alone. It is only possible when the rope moves very fast. In this apparatus, using a large driving wheel makes this fast movement possible. Water stuck (cohesion) to the rope is thus raised very fast. In 1794 a pump like this was described by the English physicist George Adams. He called the instrument Veras pump. The pump described by Adams could pump up as much as 9 gallons of water (1 gallon = 4.54609 litre) a minute.

I used to by the Costco pack of ketchup. Yep. The one with high fructose corn syrup, GMO sugar, corn syrup, and "natural flavors" – what does that even mean, "natural flavors"? Then, about a year ago we switched to an organic brand, thus eliminating a few of the above ingredients, but still containing sugar. We just did a really, really strict Paleo challenge through our gym, and weren't able to eat any sugar. Like none. Not even naturally occurring fruit sugar. Welp, husband loooooves ketchup, so I started making my own. Everytime we ran out, I'd google 'ketchup' and ended up trying all different recipes. Some were good, some were so bad. Now, I've taken bits and pieces from the 7 different recipes I tried and came up with my own. It is perfect for us. Made to taste just the way we like it. Husband loves it still, the one kid that likes ketchup loves it, and it has converted me into a ketchup consumer. Didn't use to care for the stuff, but as long as it is this recipe, I like it. Hope you like it too!
- 24 oz strained tomatoes (we use Bionature Organic brand)
- 7 oz tomato paste (we use Bionature Organic brand)
- 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
- 1 tablespoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked hot paprika
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 1 tablespoon mustard
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
- 2 tablespoons coconut sugar (or maple, or honey…. or completely omit like us)
1. Combine all ingredients in a sauce pan, and simmer for 20 minutes over low heat.
2. Allow to cool, store in air tight container in refrigerator.
3. This recipe fills almost 2 mason jars. It makes quite a bit. Not sure how long it keeps because we eat it so fast, but if you are worried about it, 1/2 the recipe.
