There is no greater insight into the male psyche than a man’s

inherent belief that harder jobs require bigger hammers. This

approach certainly gets results when it comes to grooming:

iron-man activities require hard-wearing performance

products tested in the field… or the mountains, or jungle.

Kiehl’s Cross-Terrain collection was designed

with such men in mind. Adventure-tested on cli! climbs

and ocean dives by National Geographic’s team of

explorers, the range is more than adequate for 20 minutes

on the treadmill. I’m particularly fond of the slip-resistant

Dry-Run Foot Cream (£16 for 100ml; kiehls.co.uk), that

alleviates cracked heels while fighting foot funk.

To shield skin from even the harshest of UV rays,

opt for Dr Sebagh’s Sun-City Protection SPF 30 (£50 for

15ml; johnlewis.com), which the good doctor assures us

will do virtually the same job as a product with a higher

SPF. ‘The most important thing is the quality of the

filters,’ he says. ‘Chemical filters give you two hours

of protection and pure mineral ones up to six hours with

a good water resistance.’ His broad-spectrum sunscreen

is made with mineral filters to protect you from the

elements both in and out of the city – just remember to

slather yourself in the stu! a good half an hour before

heading outdoors to allow it to soak in.

Macho men are unlikely to be familiar with Crème de la

Mer, but the fabled brand favoured by ladies who lunch

makes an intensely moisturising Lip Balm (£37 for 9g;

cremedelamer.co.uk). It is formulated with a protein found

in Arctic marine life that is more than strong enough to

prevent the chapped smackers that are too o"en the result

of speeding your way down a black run.

Such Milk Tray moments o"en involve the odd

scrape or gory graze. First aid comes in the shape of Brave

Soldier’s Antiseptic Healing Ointment (£9.50 for 170ml;

mankind.co.uk), a tea tree and aloe formula that claims

40 per cent faster healing than the old running tap and

grubby plaster method. Expect less scarring, reduced

inflammation and the ability to power on through in spite

of war wounds – or, perhaps more likely, paper cuts.

With muscles under constant stress, action men

should prep themselves with a topical potion such as

Friction de Foucaud (£16.95 for 250ml; roullierwhite.com)

– a 65-year-old body tonic formulated for French military

o#cers in Indochina from an energising mix of camphor,

menthol and essential oils that promotes blood circulation

and aids muscles before and a"er any physical onslaught.

Hours spent on two wheels o"en culminate in

an unpleasant case of saddle soreness, but this can be

allayed with the cunningly christened Chamois Cream

from lauded bike brand Rapha (£15 for 125ml; rapha.cc),

thanks to its generous dose of vegetable glycerine and shea

bu$er, which is also a key ingredient in L’Occitane’s Shea

Bu!er Hand Cream (£17.50 for 150ml; uk.loccitane.com).

Shea bu$er is one of nature’s richest and most easily

absorbed emollients, and its high concentration of fa$y

acids makes it ideal for strengthening the skin’s protective

barrier and repairing superficial damage. A fair-traded

form of shea sourced from Burkino Faso takes centre stage

in this formula, which will go some way to tackle the

damage caused by manual labour, which can leave hands

more calloused than a gravedigger’s.

A more basic but no less important piece of kit

is a decent man moisturiser. Whether brought on by

hostile winds or the environmental aggressors of city

living, skin sensitivity can be an issue for even the

toughest of men (more than 50 per cent of us will su!er

a flare-up at some point, according to the International

Dermal Institute). Elemis’ S.O.S. Survival Cream

(£39.90 for 50ml; timetospa.co.uk) helps restore moisture

balance, ease inflammation and reduce the redness that

comes as a result of hard living, or just a dodgy shave.

At ease, gentlemen.

N O 1 NEW BOND STREET

History was made this weekend when California Governor Jerry Brown officially enacted the second bill in a comprehensive legislative package designed to make higher education far more attainable for those children who are currently lacking citizenship.

Specifically, Governor Brown signed Assembly Bill 131 (AB 131) into law on Saturday. The bill gives undocumented students accepted by state universities (i.e., the University of California and California State University systems) the ability to apply for and secure public financial aid, including Cal Grants, starting in 2013.In addition, AB 131 enables these students to become eligible for institutional grants and secure fee waivers within the state's community college system.AB 131 is the second of two bills collectively referred to as the California Dream Act, a legislative package sponsored by Assemblyman Gil Cedillo (D-Los Angeles).The first bill, Assembly Bill 130 (AB 130) was signed into law by Governor Jerry Brown this past summer, and gives undocumented college students the ability to apply for and secure private scholarship funds.

Not surprisingly, both AB 130 and AB 131 are not widely embraced by all parties.Specifically, opponents argue that the measures essentially encourage illegal immigration to the state, potentially taking financial aid/scholarships from otherwise law-abiding students.Stay tuned for further updates from our Los Angeles County immigration law blog ...Due to the continued complexity of immigration laws with respect to naturalization and the exposure to facing a denial of this petition, it is critical to speak with a legal professional who has extensive specialized knowledge and experience in immigration law.This post was provided for informational purposes only and is not to be construed as legal advice.

Procedural or statutory changes in one area of the law can have

substantial implications and consequences in other legal areas. It is no secret that, in the wake of 9/11,

the national focus shifted to protecting the country's security interests. Part of that concentrated effort

involved renewed interest in immigration law and procedure, here in California and elsewhere. Closer

attention was paid to attempted illegal border crossings, and a renewed effort was made to identity

undocumented immigrants, particularly those with criminal records. One consequence of that redirection of

resources has been felt in federal criminal law, where Latinos now outnumber all other ethnic groups

sentenced to prison for federal crimes.

A government report released last month documents that Latinos made up over 50 percent of those sentenced

to prison for federal crimes, covering the first nine months of 2011. By comparison, blacks made up less than

20 percent and whites just over 26 percent. The figure for Latinos for 2010 was only 16 percent, thus pointedly

documenting a more than threefold increase in less than one year.

Faced with the prospect of a loss of liberty and other serious consequences, the person charged must devote

their full attention to contesting the charges and preparing a meaningful defense. Each aspect of an indictment

must be reviewed and investigated, both factually and legally. A California attorney experienced in handling

criminal cases in the federal courts of our country may provide some support and join with the accused to fight

for the correct result.

Motor-vehicle accidents caused by distracted drivers happen every day on our Los Angeles roads and highways. Taking one's eyes off of the road for a brief moment to answer a cellphone call or to send a text message can have serious consequences. But distracted driving isn't only a problem amongst the average commuter in Los Angeles.Those who are paid to safely transport others from one destination to another have also caused serious accidents after being distracted while

driving. In 2008, one train operator caused a fatal accident after he was texting while operating the commuter train. The train collided head-on with another train in Los Angeles, killing 25 people in the incident.After recognizing the serious danger distracted drivers are putting their passengers in, state regulators have finally voted to ban train drivers from using cellphones while on the job.Last week's decision made by the California Public Utilities Commission will affect rail transit personnel who work for regional lines such as LA Metro and the Bay Area Rapid Transit District. Those

who work for national lines in California are already banned by federal regulators from using their cellphones. Other devices such as pagers, satellite phones and other electronic equipment are also banned from being used while one is driving.Many states have already passed similar laws, and in some states, all drivers are prohibited from using their phones while behind the wheel. These regulations are often difficult to enforce, but the California Public Utilities Commission also reported last week that cameras will be installed in train operator cabs to monitor workers' compliance with the new ban.

Portuguese Perpetual Calendar. Ref. 5032:

One thing at IWC always remains the same:

the desire to get even better. Their quest

for this level of perfection is not pure coinci-

dence. Its roots go back to marine navigation

in the 18th century. Because apart from astro-

nomical coordinates, mariners and explorers

from Portugal needed the precise time to improve

the accuracy of their navigation. Initially, they were content

with the invention of the chronograph. But not for long. In

the 1930s, two Portuguese businessmen by the names of

Rodrigues and Teixeira were looking for another solution.

For them, large pocket watches were impractical. They

wanted a wristwatch in a stainless-steel case with the quali-

ties and precision of a deck watch. IWC made it all possible

and used the 74-calibre pocket watch movement to make

a wristwatch fit for mariners. Thus laying the foundations

for a family saga that was to remain unique in the history of

watchmaking.

The history of IWC began some time before the

development of this masterpiece. For it was in 1868

that an American watchmaker and entrepreneur,

Florentine Ariosto Jones from Boston, founded

the International Watch Company in northeastern

Switzerland. Since then, the firm’s engineers

have developed countless watches, such as

the Grande Complication, the Ingenieur line, the

Portuguese models, the Pilot’s Watch family, the

Da Vinci and the Aquatimer series. ‘Probus Scafu-

sia’ (good, solid craftsmanship from Schaffhausen)

encapsulates this philosophy. The many technical achieve-

ments and innovations that have their origins in Schaff-

hausen have borne impressive testimony to this for over

140 years.

Today, the Portuguese Perpetual Calendar comes

with IWC’s largest-ever automatic movement in a 44.2 mm

case. Glance through the sapphire-glass back and watch

the Pellaton pawl-winding system generate enough energy

for seven days in no time at all, visible on the power reserve

display.

An ingenious mechanical masterpiece guarantees the cor-

rect, fully automatic interplay of all 109 individual parts.

With extraordinary precision, they control and activate

the calendar’s clearly legible displays and indicators: in

other words, the seconds, minutes, hours, date, day of

the week, month and four-digit year display.

However, there is one figure at least as

impressive: 6 315 840 000 to 1. That is the

size of the reduction ratio between the sec-

onds hand and the century slide. Effective-

ly, this means that a point on the balance

will cover some 1.6 million kilometres in the

course of a year, while the century slide, after

25 228 800 000 beats, will move through just

26 degrees at the end of a century. Only in

this way was it possible for the engineers at IWC to

program the user-friendly calendar mechanically until

the year 2499. Its eternal moon phase display is so

accurate that it will be only one day out of sync with the

moon itself after 577 years. The double moon display

shows the lunar phase in the northern and southern

hemi spheres, while the days remaining until the next full

moon are also clearly visible. In short: a watch that has

already written the future. IWC. Engineered for men.
