Skin Care Report - Summer and Winter regimes for Perfect Skin

By Nigel James

We can never get away from the constant struggle, that is caring for our skin. A different approach is required, according to whether it's Summer or Winter. But Skin Care is always on our mind.Lazy, hot days by the sea, or the chill of winter, both have the same result - They dry out the skin! And dry skin means only one thing, accelerated ageing.

In order to keep your skin soft and free of wrinkles, and to subdue the effects of ageing, it is necessary to apply a daily moisturising lotion.Just the same as applying a high factor sunblock when sunbathing,an adequate skin regime away from the sun, is also critical.

There are literally dozens of types and brands of moisturizers on the market and that fact can be overwhelming when you're trying to develop a skin care plan. Take the time to do some research and then do some experimentation to find the right set of products for you. It's going to take some time and you should be ready to throw away those products that don't suit you. Eventually you will identify a range of skin care products that fit your lifestyle, your budget and your desire to keep your skin healthy.

Once you've settled on a product line that suits you, be consistent and consider the need to make some adjustments as the seasons change. If you live in a part of the country that delivers harsh winters, you'll want to make some adjustments in the winter to accommodate those brutal winter winds. Wind damage can be just as harmful as the sun when it comes to your skin. Be aware of those differences and make the necessary adjustments to your skin care regime.

It is certainly the case, that dry skin will result in the formation of wrinkles.No matter what your age, massive benefits can be achieved by caring for your skin. Those slight changes you make between your summer and winter treatments, will strengthen your feel good factor and make a huge difference towards healthy skin.

From an early age onwards,if you take care of your skin, rest assured,that you will be minimising the effects of the ageing process over time, which results in fewer wrinkles.So as the stress starts to build with your friends, as they rush about searching for a cure to those wrinkles gathering around their eyes and lips, they will be rushing to you. As you have discovered already, the secret of ageless beauty.

Taking care of your skin may seem like a lot of hard work,but this is time well spent, you'll have no regrets.As comparisons are made between how you look alongside your friends, it will become easy to see, for you and for them, the benefits to be had, from those early efforts you made, with your skin care plan.

Nothing shows your age more than you skin, and nothing minimizes the effects of ageing better than a lifelong habit of skin care. Make your choice early and stick with it.

Improved Ergonomics

Kindle is as easy to hold and use as a book. We designed it with long-form reading in mind. When reading for long periods of time, people naturally shift positions and often like to read with one hand.

The page-turn buttons now flex inward to prevent any accidental page turns when picking up or handling Kindle.

New 5-way Controller

Enhanced Reading

Lose Yourself in Your Reading

The most elegant feature of a physical book is that it disappears while you're reading. Immersed in the author's world and ideas, you don't notice a book's glue, the stitching, or ink. Our top design objective was to make Kindle disappear--just like a physical book--so you can get lost in your reading, not the technology.

Paper-like Screen

Utilizing the latest in electronic-ink display technology, Kindle provides a crisp black-and-white 6" screen with the same appearance and readability of printed paper. Sharp and natural with no glare or backlight, reading on Kindle is nothing like reading from a computer screen. Those who see it for the first time always do a double-take. The screen works using ink, just like books and newspapers, but displays the ink particles electronically. And unlike a laptop or smart phone, Kindle never gets warm so you can comfortably read as long as you like.

Sharper Display of Images and Photos

Kindle's high-resolution screen now boasts 16 shades of gray, so images and photos are sharper and clearer than ever.

Read in Sunlight with No Glare

Kindle's screen reflects light like ordinary paper and uses no backlighting, eliminating the glare associated with other electronic displays. As a result, Kindle can be read as easily in bright sunlight as in your living room.

Adjustable Text Size

Because one size doesn't fit all, you can increase the text size of your favorite book or periodical with the push of a button. If your eyes tire, simply increase the font size and continue reading comfortably. Kindle has six adjustable font sizes to suit your reading preference. Now every book in your library can be large print.

Read-to-Me Feature

With the new text-to-speech feature, Kindle can read every newspaper, magazine, blog and book out loud to you, unless the book is disabled by the rights holder. You can switch back and forth between reading and listening, and your spot is automatically saved. Pages automatically turn while the content is being read, so you can listen hands-free. You can choose from both male and female voices which can be sped up or slowed down to suit your preference. In the middle of a great book or article but have to jump in the car? Simply turn on Text-to-Speech and listen on the go.

Improved Newspaper Experience

Using Kindle's new 5-way controller, you can quickly flip between articles, making it faster and easier to browse and read the morning paper. Want to remember the newspaper or magazine article you just read? Clip and save entire articles for later reading with a single click.

Faster Page Turns

Pages now turn 20% faster on average.

Bookmarks and Annotations

By using the QWERTY keyboard, you can add annotations to text, just like you might write in the margins of a book. And because it is digital, you can edit, delete, and export your notes. Using the new 5-way controller, you can highlight and clip key passages and bookmark pages for future use. You'll never need to bookmark your last place in the book, because Kindle remembers for you and always opens to the last page you read.

Full Image Zoom

Images and photos display crisply on Kindle and can be zoomed to the full size of the screen.

Personal Documents

Kindle makes it easy to take your personal documents with you, eliminating the need to print. Each Kindle has a unique and customizable e-mail address. You can set your unique email address on your Manage Your Kindle page. This allows you and your approved contacts to e-mail Word, PDF documents, and pictures wirelessly to your Kindle for a small per document fee--currently only 10¢ per document.

You can then transfer the document to your Kindle using your USB connection. For example, if your Kindle email address is Jay@Kindle.com, send your attachments to Jay@free.kindle.com.

Amazon Reviews:

1st Review
Hello, my name is Ben. I'm a 29-year-old quadriplegic (paralyzed from the chest down, all four limbs affected. I can move my arms pretty well, but I have no use of my fingers and they are contracted.)

Without the use of my fingers you can imagine how difficult reading books could be, but I loved reading and I found ways. I had a surgery about two years ago on my midsection which made it impossible to tolerate the weight of heavy books, and without the use of my fingers paperbacks were not an option (they would simply fall off the book holder when I tried to turn a page.)

Into my life comes the Kindle. That was back in December when I got the Kindle 1. I literally shed tears as I realized Amazon had given me back the passion that had been stripped away from me after my surgery just as my mobility had been taken away 14 years earlier. Now just a few months later we have an upgrade. I feared an upgrade with a sleeker design would be the end of its handicap accessibility. I am here today to tell anyone with disabilities nothing could be further from the truth. For those of us with poor dexterity the five way controller can be manipulated easily with a knuckle, or even the side of your hand since the controller sits just slightly above the other buttons. This for me was a major improvement accessibility wise from the first unit since trying to push the button with my knuckle would often scroll down and select the wrong thing. The five way controller also takes very little force to push, I was often afraid of breaking the Kindle 1 with how hard I had to push on the wheel with the side of my hand.

I love reading the newspaper every day, but reporters love to push the boundaries of our vocabularies, but the Kindle 2 dictionary is right there to keep us reading, and make sure we know exactly what we are reading so we don't misinterpret anything. The improved dictionary lookup is amazing. I no longer have to go to a menu and look up an entire lines worth of words. I just use the controller and go to the word I want and the definition is on the bottom of the screen :-)

We can now access the Internet without turning over the Kindle to flip a switch :-) you just go to the menu and turn on the wireless. I couldn't tell you how many times I wanted to look something up I was reading in the newspaper only to find out I didn't have the wireless on. Turning it on then would've required me to call my caregiver, have them turn it on, leave the room while I did my research, and then call them back to turn it off. Thank you very much for the great improvement :-)

The buttons are a little smaller, but not so small that they are not accessible. I can still easily hit the buttons with the side of my hand. The only real difference is now when my caregivers put the Kindle away for me they don't accidentally turn pages, or click a button and say "I didn't mess anything up did I?"

Speaking of pushing buttons I loved reading magazines on my Kindle 1, the only problem was I didn't want to read every single article, and being disabled it was just a little inconvenient to have to keep clicking the wheel to get to the menus to scroll through the magazine. So what did my good friends at Amazon do for me? Well they went and made it so if I don't like the article I'm reading I just have to push my little joystick to the left or right one time to go to another article :-)

Some people miss the memory card slot. I myself did not start reading e-books until the Kindle, and I have no problem with their prices for books. Since the device can hold 1500 titles and whatever erase from the device to make room is backed up at Amazon I have no complaints in that department. Anyway if I do find other e-books I like I can simply e-mail them to my Kindle :-)

Yes we have to send our Kindle to Amazon to replace the battery, being disabled this is actually a convenience for me, and there are also a lot of music devices out there that you have to do the same thing. So I will not complain about this either :-)

If I knew the e-mail address for Jeff Bezos I would happily send him this review that I will also be posting in the forums so he would personally know that he has truly changed one man's life for the better, that this device for some of us will not just be incredibly convenient, but that it will be life altering.

In my profile is a picture of me holding the Kindle 2 reading one of my favorite books :-) I hope the picture shows accurately how easy it is for people with disabilities to use. I just put a pillow on my midsection so the book will have something to lean against while I turn the page with my knuckle.

I can offer no higher praise so with that in my review ends. Thank you...... thank you Kindle team.


2nd Review
After 6 months with the first Kindle, I was stoked when I saw gen 2 coming out. After hearing me rave about my Kindle, my wife was more than happy to take the "old" one off my hands so that I could buy the latest gadget. She's nothing if not tolerant of my gadget addiction! :)

Anyhow, I wanted to share my impressions of the old vs. the new.

First of all, the things that the Kindle 2 did better than the original:

1. It's a lot thinner. I travel frequently, so the smaller, the better. This is a noticeable change from the first to the second version and one that I love.

2. The page turn buttons are better. With the Kindle 1, I was constantly at risk of accidentally bumping the next page buttons. They are extremely sensitive and very large. With the Kindle 2, the buttons have been scaled down to a much more manageable size and are a lot less sensitive.

3. I love the 4-way directional button. It took a little getting used to after having used the Kindle 1, especially since the context menus that I was used to in the first gen have changed due to the new directional button, but for any Kindle user, this change is a god send.

4. Power charging via USB. Having a single cord for the Kindle is great. The little USB->Socket converter is great to have, too.

There are a few things that I will miss about my Kindle 1, too.

1. The power buttons. I really liked having control over the power with a simple toggle. Yes, it's great in the Kindle 2 that you can easily put the Kindle to sleep, however, if you want to turn the 2nd Gen off, you have to hold the power slide for 4 seconds. I am going to miss being able to wait until the last second to just flip a switch as I'm putting it away. I'm sure I'll get used to the change, but it will take some time.

2. The location of the headphone jack. In the Kindle 1, the headphone jack was conveniently located on the bottom of the Kindle. This kept the headphone cord out of your way. On the Kindle 2, it's top-center. Now, I don't use audio on my Kindle much, but when I do, it's because I forgot my mp3 player and want to listen to music while I read. Having the cord coming out of the top means I have to adjust it to keep it out of my way when reading. Really, this is just a minor annoyance, but I felt like it was worth sharing.

Finally, the one thing that I still feel like the Kindle is missing (and I knew this going in, so I can't ding the Kindle for it) is global wireless support. It has 3G capabilities, so technology is not the problem, it must just be cost. My hope is that they will allow international access at some point in the future, even if it comes with a small delivery surcharge - although of course we'd all like to see it cost the same! :)

One last thing to mention... I'm an avid reader and was somewhat concerned that losing the feel of true books would take away from my enjoyment of the Kindle. After having used it for 6 months, I went back to a standard paperback book and found myself getting a little frustrated with the more traditional format. I find that it's easy to get lost in the book with the Kindle2. The one thing I miss about the traditional format is the ability to peek a page or two ahead to see when the next good stopping point will be.

All in all, I am very pleased with my Kindle(s), and definitely had no hesitation in buying a second.

Fashion Trend: Colored Denim for Spring/Summer 2009

Colored Denim for Spring/Summer 2009

March 27, 2:54 PM ·



Colored Denim is everywhere this Spring!


On a shopping excursion through the 3rd Street Promenade, I made two very
interesting observations. Observation one. Colored denim is everywhere! In every store I walked into, there were racks and stacks of color denim. While this trend has been emerging for a couple years now, it has finally hit a point where the stores have caught on to the idea. Cool! But then comes observation two. I have not see ONE person wearing colored denim. And trust me, I’m looking!

How interesting. Here we see the influence of celebrity style on everyday fashion. Colored denim in a rainbow of colors has been seen on all of our favorite trendy stars. Victoria Beckham, Fergie, Rachel Bilson, Rihanna, and even Vanessa Hudgens (well... she’s not really my favorite, only because I’ve been plotting to steal Zac Efron from her... Oops! Did I say that out loud?) So here we are with very photographed and popular stars wearing these beautifully bright colored denim, yet the masses have yet to catch on? Are we scared of a little color? Perhaps. Is it worth spending $200 on a “fad” pair of jeans? Maybe. Is jean shopping in general the worst experience ever? Always. So what is it?

Well I like the idea, and I definitely think its possible to rock the look so I’m going to help you all get on the band wagon! For me, what makes the idea seem a bit more approachable is that stores like H&M, Zara, Guess, Forever 21, and Urban Outfitters have caught on. They all have colored denim at very reasonable prices. And this is the best way to buy into something that is more of a fad. Because the reality is, how long are you really going to wear those bright lemon yellow jeans? Victoria Beckham only wore hers once!

So here are my thoughts in figuring out what colored jeans go with your own wardrobe.

Understand your style and start with a color relates to that.

If you’re more preppy, try royal blue or true red or kelly green.
If you’re more bohemian, try softer more neutralized colors like lavender, butter yellow. and sherbet orange.
If you’re more glam, try the bright purple and magenta or bright yellow.
If you’re feminine, try pink or seafoam green.

Color is happening right now, so let’s see you sprinkle the sidewalks with colored denim and I’ll see you on the streets!

Fashion: Accessorize your Personality



By Elias Riftinger

Fashion and style are an integral part of your personality. The kind of appearance you carry is determined to quite an extent by the way you dress up, accessorize and present yourself on a whole. However, it is often believed that to bring over that appearance, all what matters is the amount of money you can spend. On the contrary, the fact remains that what actually accounts for the maximum amount of class and sophistication is your basic sense of style and the overall dressing sense.

However, what you do need to have is an eye for smart but reasonable accessories and keen aesthetic sense that helps you put all of it together.

Whats In for Spring 2009? Marc Jacobs




By Lindsey A. Wells

As the long days of winter are starting to fade into spring, its time to be thinking of new beginnings, fresh starts and positive attitudes. Spring is a time of rebirth and along with that comes feelings of excitement for the future.


2009 styles

Color is a major influence in this years fashions, lots of color. Not muted, or dull, but bright and fresh, distinct and aggressive. Yellows, greens, purples are the trend, and of course all in electric shades.

Dresses " dresses are always in for spring and this year is no exception, although this year there is an amazing variety. Simple 1960s inspired A-line shifts, Grecian romantic dresses, off the shoulder and tiers can all be found. For evening wear, the hottest item is the modern flapper dress. You got it, back from the roaring 20s the fringe is in. Available in a multitude of colors, try red to be ultra vibrant or black to be sultry.

Pants-watch for Relaxed fit, both for dress and casual wear. The loose leg with a graceful taper to the ankle will surely be turning some heads. This year pants are all about comfort.

Jumpsuits Retro Style are back to stay. Ok, they are not quite the 80s, but close.

Jeans-they have never left the fashion world, but this year, as was last year, the old beat up strained denim is once again a strong competitor for the fashion dollar. A few small holes add to the statement.

Jackets-a completion to any outfit, short jackets with embroidery made from velvets and high textured materials will always serve you well over a blouse or top. They are finding their way into both casual and evening wear categories.




2008 styles what a difference a year makes

Accessories - oversized, chunky jewellery is all the rage and worth picking up. Gladiator strap sandals, high legged boots, leather or patent bags, and last but not least, ornate wide belts.

So who is the hot designer this spring? Marc Jacobs. There is no way that anyone will compete with his mix and match lines. Everything from heavy brocades to light whispy fabrics have been blended with a wide color palette to produce a wild and fun line up for the spring.

Thats it for now, stay tuned for the fall 2009 look from Paris! It has been coined as austerity chick by some fashion journalists. Gone are the patterns and romantic flair they have been replaced by simple tailored cuts in plain black and white, although feathers seemed to be adornment of choice for some designers. Well delve into this in another article.
