A whirlpool bath is a great way to relax your mind and body. They are quite larger than ordinary bathtubs, but they provide more health benefits.

A whirlpool bath or hydrotherapy aids in stress, muscle and joint aches, respiratory ailments, etc. This also helps dilate the veins and increase blood flow throughout the body. It also relieves pressure in the heart.

World Oil Prices - Who Really Sets World Oil Prices?

I watched the CBS News show "60 Minutes" Sunday night, and saw the piece on world oil prices done by Steve Croft. I realize that their format doesn't allow for a detailed, in-depth investigation of any topic, but this seemed to be a broad-brushed finger pointing session.

prices of laptops

Have you ever watched a skilled magician do his act? He will divert your attention with activity in one hand, and do the "magic" with the other hand. That's what this segment reminded me of.

PRICES

Croft and his gaggle of "experts" led viewers to believe that the commodity speculators were entirely to blame for the spike in oil prices in 2008, and also responsible for its collapse in the last quarter of 2008.

But is Croft telling the truth?

Maybe. But only partially, in my opinion.

World oil prices are set on two criteria, or two particular oil products; West Texas Intermediate Crude (Sweet Crude), and North Sea (Brent Crude). Those prices are set in New York and in London, not by the oil producing nations of OPEC.

West Texas Sweet comes from the oldest major producing fields on the planet. North Sea Brent comes from the most difficult and highest cost oil field on the planet. So, world oil prices are set based upon the two places on earth where the production cost is highest.

There are places where oil is plentiful and easy to produce. It's almost like sticking a pipe into the sand and oil comes out. The production costs for those kinds of oil fields is much lower than in the North Sea, so those oil fields are much more profitable.

But do you ever hear anyone telling you that? No. What you hear on all the news shows and from government jabberers is that OPEC has the rest of the world in its clutches.

Next point to challenge is the blaming of the speculators. In any transaction, there is a buyer and a seller. Both parties are making their best effort to profit from the transaction. When someone buys a future contract on a commodity like oil, they are betting that either the price will rise or that the price will fall before a certain future date. Buyer and seller are both gambling, and one will be right.

So who are the speculators? I don't know. But the major commodity exchanges are in New York and London. There are speculators buying and selling in every single commodity, from bacon to frozen orange concentrate to crude oil. Curious that no one is crying about speculation in the other commodity markets.

My business is as a Claims Consultant and a Risk Manager. It seems to me that commodities futures contracts are very similar to buying insurance to protect against certain losses. Skilled insurers make a profit, and unskilled insurers lose money. No different here in the oil business.

Remember also that during the same time period, the US Treasury and Federal Reserve flooded the world with trillions of new dollars, causing inflation everywhere. You did notice that prices for nearly everything escalated in 2008, didn't you?

Finally, in an oil-related story, Georgia state government regulators recently assessed fines against about a dozen gas stations that allegedly did "price gouging" during the run-up on oil prices in 2008. That must mean that property rights in the State of Georgia don't mean anything. A merchant who spends HIS OWN MONEY to buy a product should be free to sell that product to whomever he chooses for whatever price buyer and seller can agree to. No one forced any buyer to buy gas from these stations at any price. The sellers offered their product and willing buyers bought it. However, seems that some of those buyers like Fascism more than Capitalism, since they called the State bullies and complained. I hope that the stations marked for punishment are fighting back in the courts.

Thermostat Problems - How to Change the Thermostat For Heating Or Cooling

You have a thermostat problem or you want one of those fancy new digital programmable thermostats and wonder if you can replace it yourself or if you need to have the HVAC Guy come and do it for you. The good news is that it really is not all that hard. With a bit of guidance you can easily do the job yourself. Here are some pointers that will help you to get the job done.

One of the most important things that you need to do is to make sure that you get the right thermostat for the system that you have. Find out what voltage your system is before you got to get a thermostat. Also know whether your system is a heat only or a heating and air conditioning system. If your system is a heat pump system then you need to know that also. Hybrid systems that use both the heat pump and a fossil fuel heater are much harder but that can be handled if you know it up front and plan accordingly.

THER MOS PA

Taking note of all of this information you can now go shopping for you new thermostat. There are many choices to chose from and you usually will want to be in the mid price range. That will get you a good quality thermostat for a great price. If you are vision impaired you may want to look for a digital unit that has a back light. These make seeing the numbers much easier.

Once you find the thermostat that you want make sure to read all of the instructions that come with it. Reading these instructions will save you a lot of time and make your life a lot easier. Mark all the wires with the letter of the terminal that you removed the wire from. You will reinstall the wire under the same letter terminal on the new thermostat.

However before you remove any of the wires make sure that you turn off the power to your heating unit or air conditioner first. If you have both then it would be a good idea to kill the power to both to make sure you have the low voltage all dead. The wires to the thermostat are 24V AC usually and that will not hurt you but you could burn up a transformer if you are not careful.

Carefully remove and mark all the wires, and remove the old thermostat. Securely fasten the new thermostat to the wall and reconnect the wires to the new thermostat, if you are installing a programmable thermostat you may want to pre-program it before placing it on the wall. By inserting the batteries into the thermostat most of them will let you program them in your hands rather then trying to look at it on the wall.

That's really all there is to changing your thermostat. If you can follow some simple instructions telling you how to read some letters and match wires than you can change your own thermostat.

Remodeling the Bathroom With a Shower Makeover

Shower panels can change the look and feel of any bathroom, transforming a utilitarian shower into a luxurious home spa. This adds an immediate upgrade to any bathroom. Shower panels are fairly easy to install and are simple to clean with their wipe down surfaces. When choosing the ideal panel consider the size both of the shower and the panel itself. With the variety of styles, features, and materials there is one ideal for just about any bathroom.

Shower panels are typically oblong or rectangular panels made of varying materials with multiple shower-heads and body jets, and can be affixed vertically to the bathroom wall providing a more extreme shower experience.

THERMO SPA

These panels are generally affixed directly to the wall even if the wall has a tiled finish. For this reason it is important to insure a waterproof sealant is applied to eliminate any potential space for mold to develop. Some plumbing alteration may be required; however this is generally minimal with some panels requiring no alteration at all to existing plumbing.

A shower pump may be needed to regulate pressure with some models. Many come with thermo-stabilizers, which regulate water temperature to maximize the shower experience while insuring safety tolerance, though modern water heaters are regulated for such safety considerations.

An added bonus of some panels is that they feature a tub filler. This means that the shower can be upgraded and still maintain the integrity of the tub if the two must be kept together as a single unit.

When deciding on the degree of luxury you would like to experience here are some features to consider.

Number of shower jets varies depending on style. There may be a single row of 4 jets or a double row of 8 or more jets in addition to the traditional overhead shower fixture. A thermostatic pressure balancing valve allows you to adjust the water pressure for an increased level of intensity. Some shower panels also allow for adjustments to target specific areas of the back. Aluminum or Stainless Steel are only two of the most popular materials to choose from with a mirror, satin or lacquer finish. Shower panels can also come in varying colors of tempered glass. Added features such as hand showers, shelves, and digital thermometers are also features that may be available for consideration on certain styles of shower panels.

Once a shower panel has been chosen the next consideration should be the proper enclosure. Tempered glass enclosures tend to be the preferred aesthetic companion to a shower panel. In addition to looking nice they are also simple to clean.

Shower enclosures can be framed or frameless, with hinged or sliding doors. They are easily customizable for any space and style preference, which includes clear or frosted glass. Shower enclosures can be fitted for a shower-tub combo as well as a stand-alone shower.

Photofacial - Anti-Aging Skin Care Treatments For Removal of Age Spots and Blood Vessels

Photofacial skin care treatments, also called IPL, short for Intense Pulsed Light, are very effective, no down time, safe methods for removing pigment, or brown spots, and excess or broken blood vessels from the facial skin. Browns spots, broken blood vessels around the nose, chin and cheeks are classic signs of sun damage and aging of the facial skin. Brown spots, often called age spots are caused by pigment that is produced by the skin to protect the skin from the harmful ultraviolet (UV) rays of the sun. New blood vessels grow into the skin in response to skin injury, first to wash out damaged skin debris and later to bring in healing factors. 

As our skin ages, the brown spots and broken blood vessels are left behind on the skin after the inflammation or skin injury has passed. These pigmented and red vascular spots create an aged variegated appearance to the facial skin which is called dyschromia, and is a sign of facial aging. Photofacial skin care treatments are the treatment of choice for benign facial skin pigmentation, age spots, brown spots and broken blood vessels and small red spots called telangiectasia on the face. Photofacial treatments are now preferred over laser treatments for these specific pigment and vascular lesions.

THERMO SPA

What Causes Age Spots, Sun Spots, Red Blotches and Broken Blood Vessels on the Face Neck and Décolletage?

Browns spots and broken blood vessels around the nose, chin, cheeks, neck, hands and Décolletage are classic signs of sun damage and aging of the skin. Brown spots, often called age spots are caused by pigment that is produced by the skin to protect the skin from the harmful ultraviolet (UV) rays of the sun. New blood vessels grow into the skin in response to skin injury by the sun. This process of new blood vessel growth is called inflammation.

The new blood vessels bring blood into the facial skin first to wash out damaged skin cell debris and later to bring in skin healing factors.

As our skin ages, the brown spots and broken blood vessels are left behind on the skin after the inflammation or skin injury has passed. These pigmented and red vascular spots create an aged variegated appearance to the facial skin which is called dyschromia, which is a sign of facial aging.

Photofacial skin care treatments or IPL treatments are the non-surgical anti-aging skin care treatment of choice for benign facial skin pigmentation, age spots, brown spots and broken blood vessels, the small red spots called telangiectasia, on the face, hands, neck and Décolletage. Photofacial treatments are now preferred over laser treatments for these specific pigment and vascular lesions.

How Do Photofacial or Intense Pulsed Light Non-surgical anti-aging Skin Care Treatments Work?

Photofacial or IPL anti-aging skin care treatments use a bright flash of visible light, like the light of a camera flash to remove pigment and blood vessels non-surgically from the skin. This pulsed or flashed light is very different from a laser and in most instances, less powerful and less dangerous that laser light.

I use a Photofacial IPL machine called the LuxGreen IPL made by Palomar Medical Laser Company in Burlington, Massachusetts. Palomar Medical is the premier manufacturer of Aesthetic Laser and Light therapy machines in the world. The LuxGreen Photofacial is the best Photofacial technology I have ever used. The LuxGreen Photofacial IPL machine is very effective and is the most comfortable for you the patient of any IPL device available.

Photofacial skin rejuvenation works by passing a flash of bright light through a filter that only allows a specific color of light in the flash to pass through the filter and hit the skin. In the case of the LuxGreen Photofacial, only light with a wavelength of 550nm (nm=nanometers or one millionth of a meter and is the measure of the green light wavelength in the visible light spectrum) to pass through the IPL filter and hit the skin.

The LuxGreen IPL 550nm light is selectively absorbed or taken up by the brown pigment in an age spot or the dark reddish brown color of blood in a blood vessel. When the Photofacial light energy is absorbed by the pigment or blood vessel, the heat from the Photofacial or IPL light destroys the pigment or blood vessel by heating it.

This process is called Target Specific Photothermolysis. A specific target, that is a color, is heated (thermo) with a light (photo) beam and dissolved or destroyed (lysis).

Using color filters placed in front of the Intense Pulsed Light beam, a wide variety of colors can be allowed through to treat many different skin conditions including hair removal (LuxRed), acne (LuxViolet), and others.

What Will My Skin Look Like Immediately After a Photofacial Skin Care Treatment?

Unlike lasers, which can cause the skin to peel and possibly leave scars, the Lux Green IPL treatments are very gentle on the skin. The pigment in the brown spot or age spot will darken very slightly, and the treated blood vessel will also darken a bit. However the skin will be intact. The treated areas may also be slightly pink for a few hours.

We place ice or a cool pack on the treated area immediately and this also may make the skin pink. However, the pinkness may be covered with makeup immediately. You may return to work. And your skin will be nearly normal the next day.

Does An Intense Pulsed Light Skin Care Treatment Hurt?

There is minimal discomfort during an IPL care treatment. Anesthesia or numbing medicine is not required. When the IPL flash hits the skin you will feel a small snap or sting, but this is easily tolerated by all of my patients.

How Many IPL Skin Care Treatments will I Need?

Usually 3 IPL skin care treatments are required spaced 4-5 weeks apart for the best results. Multiple treatments are the price for gentle treatments that are not painful and do not injure the skin.

Technically enough power can be used to remove the brown spot or blood vessel in one treatment, but this energy level would be painful, blister the skin and possibly leave a scar. This is what happened with old time laser treatments, and the new IPL is designed to remove pigment and blood vessels painlessly and with no trace or scar left behind. To accomplish this we need to stage the removal in 2-3 treatments 4-5 weeks apart. The results are well worth the wait.

How Soon after My Intense Pulsed Light Skin Care Treatment Will I See a Result?

Generally you will see the results of your IPL skin care treatment at 4-5 weeks. The brown spot will be lighter or gone and the red spot or blood vessel will be much smaller. Some patients with thin skin and very light pigment or small broken blood vessels will see complete removal after one treatment.

However most people see definite improvement 5 weeks after the IPL treatment and require 2 more treatments for complete removal.

How Many Intense Pulsed Light Skin Care Treatments Will I Need?

If you have very fair thin skin with minimal sun damage and very light pigment or very tiny blood vessels you may only need one IPL treatment. However most people need 3 treatments scheduled 4-5 weeks apart for a complete result.

Who Should I Consult For My Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) Skin Care Treatment?

The best IPL machines are found in a physician's office. Less powerful IPL machines are allowed to be used in Spas, but results are not as effective with these downgraded machines. In my experience patients do not get the results that they want in a spa, and often come to my practice for repeat treatments with the LuxGreen IPL after having already spent money for IPL in a spa.

The other benefit of having your IPL treatment in a physician's office is that you will be examined by a doctor who can properly diagnose your skin condition. Some brown lesions are dangerous and require medical evaluation and should not be treated with Intense Pulsed Light. If you have Rosacea or larger blood vessels on your face, a different therapy is required. These are medical treatments and should be done in a doctor's office. Your skin will be evaluated for more serious skin conditions, and you will receive more effective Intense Pulsed Light skin care treatments.

How Do I Find a Good Doctor to Do My Intense Pulsed Light Skin Care Treatment?

Light based and laser non-surgical skin rejuvenation treatments are best done by a doctor who is well trained and specializes in anti-aging skin treatments. Your safest bet is to seek consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon or dermatologist who has experience in laser and light based therapies such as Intense Pulsed Light.

I am of course prejudiced because I am a board certified plastic surgeon. However, a plastic surgeon is trained and capable of providing the full range of non-surgical and surgical skin anti-aging procedures and can customize your skin treatments to your unique face. Doctors who cannot provide all treatments are tempted to "fit your unique face" into the particular skin treatment they offer, and that is not the best situation for you.

Best Spas in Italy

Italy has some spa towns second to none, resorts that will leave you relaxed, invigorated and longing to return. Nowhere else on earth can boast of locations quite like these. Where else can you find superb thermo spas in medieval towns with Venice literally on your doorstep and the dolomite mountains providing a stunning backdrop?

thermospa

Many areas of Italy offer great thermo-spas of various types and in this and future articles we will explore them all. It is near Venice that we begin, this region is home for me and therefore it is fitting that we begin our discovery of the best spas in Italy here.

THERMO SPA

First and best known of the spas in this region, the Veneto, is the famous resort of Abano Terme, considered by many to be the best spa town in the entire Veneto, it is indeed superb:

Abano Terme

The hot springs are world famous, according to the tourist information office, at 87°c, these are the hottest natural springs in the world and there are more than 160 thermo spa baths on offer in the dozens of hotels around town.

Recoaro Terme

A short drive from our house, Recoaro Terme is a place I know well.

Recoaro can't compare to Abano in terms of the range of spa facilities on offer but it is a peaceful town in an extremely beautiful setting with a lovely ski resort nearby.

Recoaro is one of the oldest spa towns in Italy and has 9 natural springs - five of which are to be found in the Fonti Centrali complex which is the main one in the town.

The five natural springs found in the Fonti Centrali vary considerably in terms of their benefits. Some of these springs are rich in magnesium while others are rich in iron and other beneficial minerals.
