The following measures can help keep your skin moist and healthy:
Diagnosis:
Your doctor is likely to conduct a physical exam and ask about your medical history, including when your dry skin started, what factors make it better or worse, your bathing habits, your diet, and how you care for your skin.
Your doctor may suggest certain diagnostic tests to check whether your dry skin is the result of an underlying medical condition, such as an underactive thyroid (hypothyroidism).
Treatment:
In most cases, dry skin responds well to lifestyle measures, such as using moisturizers and avoiding long, hot showers and baths. If you have very dry and scaly skin, your doctor may recommend you use an over-the-counter (nonprescription) cream that contains lactic acid or lactic acid and urea.
If you have a more serious skin disease, such as atopic dermatitis, ichthyosis or psoriasis, your doctor may prescribe prescription creams and ointments or other treatments in addition to home care.
Sometimes dry skin leads to dermatitis, which causes red, itchy skin. In these cases, treatment may include hydrocortisone-containing lotions. If your skin cracks open, your doctor may prescribe wet dressings to help prevent infection.
Lifestyle and home remedies
The following measures can help keep your skin moist and healthy:
Moisturize. Moisturizers provide a seal over your skin to keep water from escaping. Apply moisturizer several times a day and after bathing. Thicker moisturizers work best, such as over-the-counter brands Eucerin and Cetaphil.
You may also want to use cosmetics that contain moisturizers. If your skin is extremely dry, you may want to apply an oil, such as baby oil, while your skin is still moist. Oil has more staying power than moisturizers do and prevents the evaporation of water from the surface of your skin. Another possibility is ointments that contain petroleum jelly (Vaseline, Aquaphor). These may feel greasy, so you might want to use them only at night.
Use warm water and limit bath time. Long showers or baths and hot water remove oils from your skin. Limit your bath or shower to five to 10 minutes and use warm, not hot, water.
Avoid harsh, drying

I found this chipmunk trapped in a large plastic basin in my mom's front yard. I heard noises coming from the basin and found him partially submerged in water and soggy plant debris. He looked completely resigned and miserable , and then he sort of looked right up at me, so I got done with my shot and tipped over the container. He sat there in the grass for a moment then scampered across the driveway and let out a single "CHIP!" I took it as a thank you...
Photo Caption (Photo by Susan Krysiak courtesy of MAC): The Olde Cape Lighthouse #1212 Chapter of Questers International supported the restoration of two paintings that were owned by the Physick family and original to the 1879 Emlen Physick House Museum, 1048 Washington St., Cape May, N.J., which is reputed to be the finest example of Victorian Stick Style architecture in the country. The Physick Estate was lovingly restored and is managed, interpreted, maintained and opened to the public by the Mid-Atlantic Center for the Arts & Humanities (MAC) year-round. Shown here, from left, MAC Curator Gail Capehart holds one of the restored paintings, the other hanging on the wall, and is joined by Questers members, Carol Hartman, Marge Wetherill, Joanne Heal, Rosalie Gallagher, Sonja Hippel and Barbara Oberholtzer. “The restoration has brought these paintings back to life,” Capehart said. “We are very grateful to the Olde Cape Lighthouse Chapter for their generosity and care for these beautiful and historic pieces of art.” The paintings were conserved by Jason Crafts of J&J Art Conservation Services in Mullica Hill, N.J. and returned to the Physick Estate on Jan. 19. The larger piece on the wall is an oil-on-canvas still life featuring a large red vase filled with chrysanthemums. The painting is framed in a Rococo style gilt molding frame. The painting was completed circa 1875 by an unknown artist. The smaller painting is an oil-on-wood panel depicting a New England seacoast scene and is framed in a narrow gilt frame. It was completed circa 1880 by an unknown artist. Both pieces were owned by the Physick family and donated to MAC by an heir in 1981. The conservation was completed with $500 in donations contributed by the Olde Lighthouse Questers. With a strong desire to see that the best of American heritage is preserved for future generations, Questers seek to educate by research and study of antiques and to donate funds to the preservation and restoration of artifacts, existing memorials, historic buildings, landmarks, and educational purposes. Questers work on defined projects selected by each chapter. MAC is a multifaceted not-for-profit organization committed to promoting the preservation, interpretation, and cultural enrichment of the Cape May region for its residents and visitors. MAC membership is open to all.

Which doll? Ruler can help with scale but not give an exact measure since the angles are playing tricks on the camera's perspective.
There were two adult and this immature grebe on the lake in northeastern Colorado this morning; another person identified this as an eared grebe. I'm wondering if it is a horned grebe instead, in view of the white tip on the bill and the large amount of white on the cheek. I would appreciate help with ID. I will also be posting photos of the adults.

Lately, my preferred rail-drive combo when travelling to London is car to Epping, then Central Line. You might as well forget the station car park, which is always full. Parking behind the shops in Epping is £2.80 all day. The worst of it is the uphill walk from station to shops on the way back, when your feet are tired from a day of pounding the capital's pavements.
So here we were again. After going our own ways for the day ...we both enjoy ourselves more... Mrs B and I rendezvous at Liverpool Street. Trouble is, it's usually around five or six o' clock, when the trains are running at one-minute headways and all of them are chocka. We were a little earlier than usual this time ...1609 by the clock there... but it made no difference.
The last two times I've made this journey I've been offered a seat ...in both cases by young women. The first time I assumed the seated passenger was addressing someone over my shoulder. It takes the wind out of your sails a bit. Blige ...do I really look that old? Am I that old? The answer, in both cases, is probably "yes". The trouble is that the young regard you as old at a much earlier stage than that at which you cease to think of yourself as young.
What's it like to get old? As youth recedes into the past and we advance through the middle years we become apprehensive. I am unable yet to report from the viewpoint of extreme old age, but I can say that, so far, one's essential outlook and inclinations remain unchanged. In fact, in the minutes before the young women offered me their seats, I'd probably been thinking, like any nasty normal man, how decidedly shaggable they were. Well. I'm just trying to be honest here. The tragedy of ageing is not that you become old, but that you remain young. It's just that the body begins to let you down. So I graciously declined their kind offers, although I'd have been glad to take the weight off me plates. The offer was not repeated on this most recent occasion. We let this train go. The Epping train was a minute behind. I think I finally got a seat at somewhere like Buckhurst Hill ...and with the Hill of Death ahead of us.
Had you noticed the graininess? Kodak TMax P3200 ...3200ASA that is. The grain is a bit much, even for me, but, well, you can take a hand-held shot down here in the Underground. I was thinking of Fuji's Neopan 1600 film as a (presumably) less grainy alternative, but I discovered last night that It'd been discontinued.
This is what the queue looks like at the restoration ward at Dollby City. The poor things have to wait in line whilst I ferry them to and from my little hospital ward in the corner of my kitchen.

Taken at Papuma Beach, Jember, East Java, Indonesia during Extraordinary Photo Adventure Travel 2010
Papuma located in the village of Sumberejo, Subdistrict Ambulu, Jember regency, East Java.
Slightly edited shot of a girl in Amsterdam. Taken with my Sony HX1.
Sometimes when I try to secretly shoot somebody, they notice me waving my camera in their general direction and they might panic (hey, having a wicked Reflectah pointing his cam at you can be a somewhat disturbing experience!), and some even go as far as calling the cops, like the lady in these pictures. Once she realized that she might end up in a puddle, being wickedly reflected on, she grabbed her mobile and started dialing 911 112, hysterically screaming at the emergency services people to come and rescue her, crying, sobbing and ululating all over the place. Of course by the time her fingers hit the '1' on the dialpad the first time, I had already hopped on my trusty bicycle and was rapidly riding into the sunset, only to search for less attentive victims, or at least a fool without a mobile phone, lol :D

This photograph was taken by Nicholson Museum curator William J Woodhouse in Greece between 1890 and 1935.
Can you help us catalogue the Woodhouse photographic archive? Contribute by adding tags and answering the following questions in the comments below:
•What do you see? Write a brief description for this image.
•Where was this photograph taken?
•Can you find the geo co-ordinates (latitude and longitude) of this exact place? Let us know by linking to the google maps or add the co-ordinates in your comment.
•Do you know what year this photograph was taken?
About the archive:
The Nicholson Museum holds over 1800 glass-plate negatives taken by Woodhouse while in Greece in 1890s and early 1900s. A small portion of the archive also includes photographs of his family in the Blue Mountains, NSW, Australia. The collection documents important archaeological sites, significant landscapes of the Greek mainland, contemporary buildings and the people he met along the way. His archive is a rich resource capturing many sites pre-archaeological excavation and before modern industrial development. Some of the photographs were published by Woodhouse in his book 'Aetolia: its geography, topography, and antiquities' published in 1897. His desire to capture Greece on 'film', was simply put in his introduction: "History only attains its full value by borrowing actuality from geography and topography". The archive shows his love not only for the sites but also for the people and spirit of Greece.
About the project:
We are asking you to contribute to our documentation of this collection and assist us with the identification of the hundreds of different monuments and places in Greece. The title of each photograph will include the museum registration number (NM2007.##.##) and may already include a place name where museum staff or Woodhouse himself have titled the image.
All of our flikr contributors will be acknowledged when the collection is published through our online collections at the completion of the project.

“Bhagavad-Gita is the most beautiful, perhaps the only true philosophical song existing in any known tongue” – so opined William von Humboldt, who wrote seven-hundred verses in its praise.
In this modern rendition, the beauty of the Sanskrit slokas is reflected in the rhythmic flow of the English verse of poetic proportions even as the attendant philosophy of the song that is Bhagvad-Gita is captured in contemporary idiom for easy comprehension.
It is a matter of consensus that Bhagvad-Gita in the present length of seven hundred slokas has many an interpolation to it, but no meaningful attempt has ever been made to delve into the nature and extent, not to speak of the effect of these on the Hindu society at large. The methodical codification of interpolations carried out here, for the first time ever, puts the true character of Gita in proper perspective. Identified here are hundred and ten slokas of deviant nature and or of partisan character, the source of so much misunderstanding about Bhagvad-Gita, the book extraordinary, in certain sections of the Hindu fold. In the long run, exposing and expunging these mischievous insertions is bound to bring in new readers from these quarters to this over two millennia old classic besides altering the misconceptions of the existing adherents.
