			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The El Gordo lottery is one of the main Spanish lottery games. It is surprisingly popular in Spain where the ticket numbers are reserved and even passed down through the generations of families.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s a different game to other lotteries because there is only a limited supply of each possible number. Once those numbers have sold out nobody else can have them.</p>
<p><span id="more-5"></span>Spain is pretty much brought to a halt for 3 hours as children from the Madrid San Ildefonso school take it in turns to sing out the winning numbers and the amounts won.</p>
<p><object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" width="425" height="344" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" /><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" /><param name="src" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/quOqwOeSMFo&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1" /><embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="425" height="344" src="http://www.youtube.com/v/quOqwOeSMFo&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true"></embed></object></p>
<p>The Big Spanish Christmas Lottery</p>
<p>It used to be just a single draw at Christmas each year. But el gordo expanded to include a Summer draw and now happens 6 times per year. But the Christmas draw remains by far the most exciting. Mainly because it attracts so many ticket sales it can offer a prize pot of over two billion euros.</p>
<p>There Are Millions Of Winners</p>
<p>It&#8217;s not just the prize pot that is big. The actual number of prize winners is stupendous &#8211; where else can you find a lottery draw that pays out millions of prizes. There are 390 jackpots of 1 million Euros or more just to get going. Then there are hundreds more prizes of hundreds of thousands of Euros.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s not hard to see why the el gordo spanish lottery is so popular. The number of prizes is enough to get anyone excited about playing.</p>
<p>How To Buy El Gordo Tickets?</p>
<p>Non Spanish residents need to be careful because numerous online ticket sellers are happy to charge very high prices.</p>
<p>Tickets are sold either as full tickets or you can buy a smaller part of a ticket. This is very different to all other lottery games most of us have ever seen before. And can as a result be quite confusing. Each ticket is split into 10 smaller parts. You can buy all 10 parts, or you can buy as many parts as you want.</p>
<p>Prices more than the normal ticket price are normal as sellers do have extra costs to cover. But it is not ok to charge 5 times the real price. So please be careful.</p>
<p>If you&#8217;re not sure, one of the safest ways to play is to play with a reliable syndicate. They will take care of all the ticket handling for you. You can find out more about the el gordo syndicate I use here. This also adds the benefit of giving you an even better chance of winning too.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Understanding Acne</p>
<p>There has been a incredible amount of money invested in research into the disease called acne. While there have been exciting advances in our understanding of the annoying symptoms, and their treatment, there has been hardly, if any, advancement in our understanding of its main causes, however, we do understand much more about things that can effect it, either in the negative or positive way.</p>
<p><span id="more-15"></span>Acne is a skin condition which is able to be recognized by the red, angry appearance of the skin together with pimples (zits or spots). In acne the sebaceous glands in the skin create too much oil (sebum) and this causes the hair follicles or pores to become blocked. These blocked pores are widely known as blackheads and whiteheads. The skins pores become inflamed and infected causing pustules or spots (zits) to develop. With acne sufferers the process of shedding the dead skin cells does not work in the correct way which leads to an increase in the production of dead skin cells further blocking the pores.</p>
<p>Virtually anybody can be vulnerable to acne, it is not discriminatory, however, it is usually found most frequently in teenagers. Hormones are a trigger for acne breakouts and, because teenage bodies are often flooded with hormones, they are most at risk. As well as the most obvious physical symptoms, acne can cause the person to become immensely self-conscious and wary of their outward appearance. Sadly, even after an acne breakout the poor person can be left with highly visible acne scarring.</p>
<p>Treating Acne</p>
<p>How acne is treated is usually dependent on how severe it is. Severe acne breakouts should be treated by a doctor who will, often, recommend a course of prescription antibiotic creams, tablets, liquid or capsules (to be taken for a minimum 6 months. Commonly a topical antibiotic cream is prescribed together with oral antibiotics. A further commonly recommended treatment is Microdermabrasion, which can be performed at home or in a spa.</p>
<p>Removing Acne Scars</p>
<p>The best way to treat acne scarring is to start as soon as possible and carry on treatment for as long as is required. The reduction or removal of scarring depends on a procedure referred to as skin remodeling. This is a natural process in the skin but there are ways to accelerate it. The following treatments all help in this process; laser treatments, microdermabrasion, chemical peels or scrubbing massages.</p>
<p>Necessary Acne Advice</p>
<p>The most important thing to do prior to beginning any type of treatment is to gain advice from a medical professional. Along with any prescriptive medicines, the physician will often advise an acne sufferer to change their lifestyle. By drinking plenty of water, eating a healthy diet and exercising, you can vastly improve the condition of the skin (you are what you eat).</p>
