Lelija Roy's sun-kissed canvasses on display at Breckenridge's Art on a Whim
Special to the Daily
The all-too-quick parts of the day when the sun is rising or setting are some of the most spectacular times in the mountains. The constant change of colors in the sky and on the land is a daily muse for artists adept at capturing the beauty of the High Country. Light is nature's paint, decorating everything it touches. Artists are constantly looking for ways to capture the dance that light creates as it moves across the mountains. Lelija Roy will be in the Art on a Whim gallery throughout the weekend doing just that.
Roy's latest collection of work focuses on depicting the wonders of sunrise.
"I'm naturally a morning person," she said. "And having a very bossy sheltie who loves to get the first walk in the neighborhood means I see the sunrise almost every day. Besides being a special and peaceful time, sunrise offers a very fleeting explosion of color. When I see a great color combination, 'Wow' is usually followed by, 'If I paint the sky the way I see it now, no one will believe it."
Roy's work involves dozens of layers of paint, handmade papers and fabrics. She frequently weaves in special metallic and iridescent paints. Metallic paints are manufactured with tiny particles of metal that offer interesting reflections. Iridescent paints have tiny mica particles that reflect the surrounding colors. When you walk past one of her paintings the colors will shift. As the light changes in your room you'll also notice a different.
"If you watch closely, the outside world is constantly changing," Roy said. "The amount of light as well as the angle of the sun changes all the time. By integrating touches of metallic and iridescent paint I can mimic this effect."
Her work goes beyond simply depicting what observers of the natural world see. Rather, Roy is always striving to capture the feel of Colorado's wonderful landscapes. Through combining layers of texture with metallic and iridescent paints, she invites the viewer to get lost in the sensations of wandering through a pristine landscape.
Her new piece titled "Winter Reflected" follows the liquid sunrise across a sunlit meadow, emptying into a meandering river tinged with gold. In "Morning Lace," fresh snow clings to branches, creating a veil of lace partially hiding the golden sunrise. In "Sunrise Lace," aspens and pine trees vie for center stage on a sunlit patch of snow. Each piece is pure fantasy. They are abstracted imaginations based on the very real emotions one experiences while standing in the wild.
If you're lucky enough to see the sunrise or sunset while you're in the mountains don't go looking for your camera – just watch the fleeting miracle. Alpenglow is especially beautiful in winter. The reflections off the snow and ice combine with the low angle of the sun to produce a great show. Take it in and strive to remember the wonderful feeling of watching the world change. Then stop by the Art on a Whim gallery to see Roy's breathtaking representations of a beautiful part of the day.

Founded in 1892, MPS was initially known as the (London and Counties) Medical Protection Society – within two years it had more than 1,000 members.
At the end of the 19th century, doctors and dentists were operating in an increasingly difficult professional environment. They had to deal with libellous accusations by patients and an increasing number of unregistered and unqualified quacks. In the 1880s, a number of high profile negligence and criminal cases made the headlines, and it soon became clear that individual doctors did not have the resources to defend themselves in these cases.
The need for strength in numbers was obvious. The benefits provided by the organisation gradually grew – at first MPS membership only offered discretionary indemnity to fund members' legal costs – but over time this expanded to include any damages and costs awarded in the case. In the 1940s MPS started providing protection to members in other parts of the world.
The medical profession has changed dramatically over the last 120 years. The founding members of MPS would not recognise the complex environment in which doctors now work, and would be baffled by the legal problems that result. However, what they would recognise is that, just as in 1892, doctors need MPS as much as ever – a mutual organisation where fellow professionals use their judgment to provide a flexible range of benefits that meet the evolving needs of members.

text: Fall Prevention for Teachers Did you know… Falls are the leading cause of non-fatal injuries for all children ages 0 to 19. Every day, approximately 8,000 children are treated in U.S. emergency rooms for fall-related injuries. This adds up to almost 2.8 million children each year. Each year in the United States, emergency departments treat more than 200,000 children ages 14 and younger for playground-related injuries. About 45% of playground-related injuries are severe, causing fractures, internal injuries, concussions, dislocations, and amputations. Use these tips to ensure that you and the children in your care prevent serious falls: Check to make sure that the surfaces under playground equipment are safe, soft, and well-maintained (such as wood chips or sand, not dirt or grass). Encourage children to wear protective gear during sports and recreation. For example, when in-line skating, encourage them to use wrist guards, knee and elbow pads, and a helmet. Supervise young children at all times around fall hazards, such as stairs and playground equipment. Keep furniture away from windows. Install guards or stops on windows that are not emergency exits.

This is Destiny. She's 4 years old—and one of the young girls on TLC's infamous Toddlers & Tiaras reality show about the world of child beauty pageants.
On last night's episode, Destiny shocked viewers as she swaggered onto the stage with a wild nest of teased hair, a puffy black leather jacket and a cigarette between her lips.
"Don't forget to smoke," Lisa reminded her daughter before her performance.
Lisa says the cigarette was fake and an important part of her daughter's costume. Destiny was dressed to look like Olivia Newton John's tough-girl character Sandy in the musical movie Grease.
"Sandy comes out and throws down a cigarette, so Destiny's going to do that," Lisa explains. "We feel like that's part of acting, and it's a part of the routine so we've added it in there…"
Toddlers & Tiaras is in its fourth season and has created a stir ever since it first aired in 2009. The reality show offers a look into the controversial, sometimes horrifying, world of child beauty pageants. Episodes follow overzealous parents who push their toddlers to wax their eyebrows, wear heavy makeup, and sport fake breasts in a quest to win sparkly crowns.
But the show hit a new low—that's lower than low—with last night's episodes. Even if the cigarette was fake and Destiny was "acting," there's absolutely nothing cute or charming about this little girl's performance. Destiny set a terrible example for other children who might have been watching the show and didn't realize the cigarette was a prop. She made smoking look cool and fun—and she's only 4 years old. Four years old! But Destiny isn't the one to blame—it's her mother's fault. She's the one who is exploiting her daughter and forcing her to be a part of all this nonsense.
We can also blame TLC that's putting this trash on television. I can only imagine that viewership is down for Toddlers & Tiaras and TV execs are putting pressure on the show's producers to create even more sensationalized, extreme situations to catch the attentions of Americans who have an insatiable appetite for trashy TV. What can we expect next? Has this show hit its lowest point yet? Or will it going even lower?

Timmer VertiGO
Delft design graduate Maarten Timmer sees one
problem with electric motorcycles: since they look just like their petrol-driven
counterparts, potential customers compare the performance of electric with gas
and come up nonplussed. It's a valid criticism, while bikes like the Zero S and
Brammo Enertia are a lot of fun, it's hard to make a case for them in comparison
to cheaper, faster internal combustion rivals. Maarten's solution is to take
advantage of the electric drivetrain to create a dynamic look that'd be
impossible otherwise.
While we see clear design influences from the Tucson BT550 Superlegerra in the
front fairing and the Confederate Renovatio concept in the seat unit, the
negative space in the middle of the "tank" and underneath the seat provide a
significant differentiation to typical sportsbike design.
We'd have liked to see Maarten go
one step further and rethink the relationship between bike and rider. While the
faux tank looks great and should function well -- providing a grip for the
rider's knees -- it's an unnecessary design anachronism for an electric bike.
Small battery packs and motors that can be placed very low in the chassis offer
the possibility of a Gurney Alligator-style feet-forward riding position that
could provide an even more radical differentiation from gas bikes while offering
significant performance advantages. It's that possibility of fundamentally
altering the archetypal motorcycle shape that has us so excited about electrics.

Rushel Shell Breaks WPIAL All-Time Rushing Record
Hopewell Running Back Shatters All-Time Mark With 205 Yards In 27-20 Victory
Hopewell High School running back Rushel Shell broke the WPIAL all-time rushing record with 205 yards on 32 carries and scored the game-winning touchdown with 3:13 remaining in the fourth quarter in a 27-20 win over Mt. Lebanon at Tony Dorsett Stadium.
The senior, who had nine touchdows and 747 rushing yards on the season coming into the game, broke the record at the start of the second half with a 54-yard run on his first carry of the third quarter.
The previous WPIAL rushing record was 7,646 yards, held by Mike Vernillo of Fort Cherry, who set the record in 1999 and was standing on the sideline for Shell's record-breaking run.
Shell now has 7,718 rushing yards for his career, putting him 1,309 yards away from the state all-time rushing record of 9,027, held by Jeremiah Young of Steelton-Highspire.

Away We Go has a trailer, and the 2009 Edinburgh International Film Festival has an opening film. In a happy coincidence, that opening film is Away We Go.
Sam Mendes' follow-up to Revolutionary Road has been attracting plenty of notice because a) it won't be as heavy going as Revolutionary Road and b) it's written by husband and wife Dave Eggers and Vendela Vida. The film is a road movie, with couple John Krasinski and Maya Rudolph trying to find some place to raise their first-born, and discovering a little bit of America on the way.

Three weeks ago I was in Gorham, Maine hanging out at the Sebago Brewing Company with a couple fellow Maine beer bloggers, Carla Companion aka The Beer Babe and Benjamin Moore of the Active Beer Geek blog. We were invited to the brewery to help brew a special pilot batch. If you are attending this Saturday's brewfest, Craft Beer comes to the Maine State Pier VIP session you'll have the opportunity to try this beer or if you are attending the Beer Bloggers Conference Pre-excursion to Portland it'll be served at the Sebago beer dinner.
I unfortunately cannot attend this weekend's festival, so if you are going to the VIP session, please head over to Sebago and try the "Beer Blogger Small Batch Citra Saaz Down IPA" and then comment on this post, on my Facebook page or on Twitter and feel free to gloat about how you got to try the beer I helped brew before I do, I'll have my chance in two weeks at the beer bloggers pre-excursion.

limited edition makeup palette inspired by the film! The collection is by Pür

At first glance, the eight shades of eye shadow pop out with
glimmer, from Supernatural nude to Cursed plum. The Black Magic eyeliner and
Lust pale pink lip gloss add a simplistic glam to the entire collection,
highlighting the brilliant pigments in the shadows.
With all of the different options, I wanted to make sure I
comprised a look that was out of this world! My personal favorites ranged in
various purples and neutrals, especially Fantasy which is rich with a vibrant violet
color. I went with a smoky eye, just to get a taste of the dark side!

Good question, let's see why there is not a remedy for every wrong:1. There is no negligence because they don't owe me any duty of care.2. There is no contractual relationship with them.3. There is no intentional interference in my business affairs.4. There is no defamation.I do not think there is any standing to sue, as a concerned citizen I could contact my state attorney general or the Federal Trade Commission and file a complaint.
Ever tried to collect a judgment against a Marshall Islands corporation or any judgment against someone who does not want to pay?A lot of lawsuits don't get filed because there is no point wasting time, effort, and money suing just for the sake of suing.An individual would not have standing to get an injunction close the school though a state attorney general might or the FTC.
are there any states that would? all that is needed is 1 state..esp. since this school has been approved by the state.

We Recommend
TRF 350 30 capsules
Price: $98.75
Features the identical comprehensive array of bone-support¬ive nutrients found in our standard OsteoForce™, along with an increased level of vitamin D (2000 IU) as well as the addition of vitamin K2 and the bone-building protein MBP® (Milk Basic Protein)
MBP® - support for increasing bone density
MBP® is a multifunctional, natural protein present in trace amounts in human and bovine milk whose main role is to assist the body in its ability to form bone and increase bone density. MBP® helps reinforce bones, making them more receptive to calcium while working to prevent excess calcium from being liberated from the bones. MBP® accomplishes this by helping to increase the number of bone-forming osteoblastic cells while regulating the activity of bone-destroying osteoclastic cells, and thus is a significant part of bone's remodeling process.
MBPs are derived from the whey portion of milk protein, therefore this product should be well-tolerated by anyone with allergies/sensitivities to lactose or casein. Those with whey allergies/sensitivities may want to support their bone health with our standard OsteoForce™.
OsteoForce™ Supreme may benefit:
- Osteoporosis/Osteopenia/Serious bone degeneration
- Fractured bones – consider combining with TRF 150™ for cartilage rebuilding
Additional Highlights of OsteoForce™ Supreme
- OsteoForce™ Supreme supplies the necessary bone-rebuild¬ing vitamins and minerals in their most absorbable forms. The minerals – calcium, magnesium, zinc, copper, manganese, potassium, and boron – are from Albion® Advanced Nutrition, the leader in formulating truly chelated minerals with outstanding absorption and bioavailability. True chelates are not only absorbed better than mineral salts, but they are retained better in body tissue (such as bone).
- Vitamin D (2000 IU) helps facilitate calcium absorption in the intestine by stimulating the synthesis of calcium-binding protein as well as being involved in bone turnover. A substantial proportion of patients with hip fractures also have osteomalacia, caused by vitamin D deficiency.
- Vitamin K is a coenzyme for matrix Gla protein (MGP), a potent inhibitor of arterial calcification which safely directs calcium in the body. OsteoForce™ Supreme contains a generous 1050 mcg of vitamin K, with 1000 mcg K1 and 50 mcg K2. While K1, the naturally occurring form of vitamin K in vegetables, does promote optimal function of the Gla proteins it is K2 that is the highly bioavailable, long-lasting form. Poor conversion of K1 to K2 in some people makes the inclusion of K2 very important.
Serving Size: 6 capsules
Servings Per Container: 30

CBS News via AFP - Getty Images
This image obtained April 19 courtesy CBS News shows Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, a suspect in the Boston Marathon bombing who was captured hiding in a boat in a Boston suburb.
Bleeding and hunted by police, Dzhokhar Tsarnaev scrawled a note inside the hull of the boat where he was hiding saying that the Boston Marathon bombings were retaliation for American action against Muslims, sources told NBC News on Thursday.
In the note, Tsarnaev, the lone surviving suspect in the marathon attack, said many of the things he told investigators from his hospital bed days later, after his capture, the sources said.
Bombing suspect Dzhokhar Tsarnaev wrote a message inside the wall of the boat where he hid while attempting to evade police after the bombing. NBC's Pete Williams reports.
The note was first reported by CBS News.
Tsarnaev was discovered hiding in the boat, in suburban Watertown, Mass., on April 19 after a daylong manhunt that paralyzed Boston and its surroundings. He had been wounded in a firefight with police.
Tsarnaev, 19, is in a federal prison hospital in Massachusetts and has been charged with using a weapon of mass destruction. He could face the death penalty. His older brother, Tamerlan, was killed in the firefight.
Three people were killed and 264 injured when two bombs exploded near the marathon finish line April 15.
Dzhokhar Tsarnaev told investigators in the days after his capture that the brothers acted alone and were defending Islam after the American-led wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, U.S. officials have told NBC News.
Investigators are also focusing on a six-month trip to Russia that Tamerlan Tsarnaev made last year, looking for clues to his radicalization. He was buried last week at a Muslim cemetery in Virginia after cemeteries in Massachusetts refused the body.
Massachusetts State Police released this video showing aerial footage of the boat where Dzhokhar Tsarnaev lay hidden during a standoff with police.

Plea deals reached with suspects in Ball beating
Court appearances set for Monday
MADISON, Wis. — All three of the men accused of assaulting Wisconsin running back Montee Ball have agreed to plea deals.
Court records indicate Wendell J. Venerable, 21, is scheduled for a plea hearing Monday. He and the other two men were charged with substantial battery.
The other two men charged in the case, Deonte J. Wilson, 21, and Robert A. Wilks, 22, have also reached deals with prosecutors, according to Madison.com. They are also scheduled to court appearances Monday.
Probable cause affidavits stated a witness and surveillance video place the three University of Wisconsin-Madison students in the area where Ball was attacked Aug. 1.
Ball suffered a concussion during the early-morning assault near campus.
Madison police Detective Dave Gouran testified at a hearing that people nearby heard the attackers say they planned to beat up football players in retaliation for a previous fight at a party when one of them was hurt.
The first Madison police officer who responded to the call described what witnesses told him the night of the incident. Officer Jacob Conrad said witnesses told him that after Ball was struck in the face, he fell to the ground and five men started kicking him.
Police also said that two different sets of video surveillance cameras, one at Peace Park and another outside a downtown apartment, helped investigators identify the suspects.

On my BB Storm, I have several pop emails, yahoo mail and gmail - and also my two work addresses that I access using BIS (not BES). For my two work addresses, I use Outlook on my PC as my mail client. One of them comes into Outlook via Exchange and the other comes in as a pop account.
My work emails come to my phone just fine. But, when I get to work, and mail in my inbox that was received overnight shows as unread in Outlook and are again sent to my phone (as though they are new messages). So, I get them as duplicates. This is only when first logging in to Outlook for the day. During the day, things are fine - no dupes.
Is this just the way it is, or do I have something set up wrong somewhere?

Seffner, Florida
We're sitting here at the Lazy Days Campground waiting for our "new" motorhome to be prepped for us. It's taking a bit longer than expected because we're found a few things we want fixed and changed, plus we're having a satellite system installed. We're in no hurry as long as they keep giving us free nights in the campground! The free breakfast and lunch has been pretty nice. Al never lets us miss one either! Hurry up, we can't be late for breakfast!
Lazy Days offers a lot of free classes. Actually they are free if you have ever bought an rv from them, or if you are currently buying one.
One of the most popular is the "Driver Confidence Course" taught by Barney Alexander.
He just had a milestone, as yesterday, one of the students in our class was the 42,000 student he has taught….accident free! He will be retiring in a few months and Lazy Days will lose a big asset. Barney has a helper that he taught his dot system to, but he will be going to the new Lazy Days Rv center in Tucson, Arizona.
We had an hour and a half of class room time and then after lunch we met by the "big boys." There were two big diesel pushers that the class was to drive. One was 38 feet, the other was 41. They both looked huge and intimidating!
One lady in our class, Mary, just flew down from Connecticut to purchase her new 28 foot Tiffin Diesel pusher. The main reason she came to Lazy Days was because of this class. She flew back home last night, and her motorhome was being delivered to her on Friday. I think she wasn't quite ready to make that big of a trip by herself. She travels the dog show circuit with her Collies and she thought a motorhome would be nice to have. She had never driven any type of motorhome, and at the end of the class, they took a little extra time with her and she actually backed that 41 footer into a parking space, 3 feet from the other motorhome. She was straight as an arrow in the site and just whipped it right in. Of course she had Barney telling her what to do, but it was quite an accomplishment for her. The rest of us didn't get that lesson. There is a video on how to do that though.
Each one of got a few minutes of "drive time" in the motorhome. We didn't go out on the highway, but stayed in a parking lot at Lazy Days. Barney says this is the hard stuff and if you can make sharp corners and successfully navigate curvy roads, you can drive on anything. He said every motorhome is either a "hip" coach or a "bumper" coach. Most are "hips." What this means is before you make a right or left turn, you need to pull forward until your hip is level with the edge of the road. If you turn too soon, the tail of your motorhome will clip a sign, car, or run over the curb. It was a good lesson and is explained more in the online classes. I put a link below. I recommend everyone who drives a motorhome look at his classes. Al learned a lot and he has been driving our motorhome for years.
Barney's system uses a series of little "dots" that you place on your rv. One is on the front glass in front of the driver. It helps you know where your front bumper is when you're turning a sharp curve. If you line up that dot with the right edge of the road, the rear of your motorhome will stay in your lane. There are dots on each mirror, which show you exactly where your rear tires are while you're driving. That's kind of a good thing to know, isn't it. Of course you have to know exactly where to place the dots so that they give you the correct information, and that is what he teaches you.
He mentioned "tail swing." We already knew about it, but he reinforced it. The tail of a motorhome swings about 2 1/2 feet when you turn. He recommends everyone tests their own motorhome by just marking where the rear tires are, then turning right and left. See where your tail ends up! When you stop for fuel and get too close to the pump and try to turn right….what happens? Yep, your first collision. He suggests stopping 3-4 feet away from the pumps to allow plenty of room for tail swing.
There are a series of videos, here that Barney has made. They will teach you everything (and probably more) that we learned in the class. I had watched a few of them before, but actually being there made them a lot more clear. You may need to watch them more than once to understand the dot system.
Check out Better Rving.com for some good information on rv's.
Today, after breakfast, we're taking a course on cooking with a convection oven. Since our new motorhome has one, we thought it would be helpful.
Gotta go, Al is bugging me to hurry so he doesn't miss breakfast!

Archive for the 'Sterling' Tag
The Pound in Your Pocket
The value of the British Pound is in steady decline. It fell by 7% in the first two months of this year alone and it continues to fall against the Dollar, although its fall relative to the Euro has been slightly softened by the impact of the Italian general election and the Cypriot crisis.
Some sections of British industry and some economic analysts are arguing that the decline of the British Pound is a good thing. On the face of it there is a strong case for welcoming the falling price of Sterling. After all, weaker currencies are good for exports, right?
Switzerland was certainly hurt by the price of the Swiss Franc relative to the Euro being driven up as a result of the Euro crisis. The Swiss economy being a particularly sensitive to the price of its exports, their government took swift action to keep the price of their currency low. Could devaluation benefit Britain in the same way?
A lower Sterling allows British businesses to offer more competitive prices on exports and Britain is certainly in need of more competitive exports in sectors other than financial services and the arms trade. Further, the added demand for British goods could boost growth. We could grow our way out of recession. Couldn't we? This is a flawed argument. In the past it is certainly true that a reluctance to devalue for political reasons has cost the country dear. But does that mean devaluation is good for us today?
Devaluation essentially has two effects, it makes our currency cheaper to buy thus making it cheaper for foreigners to buy from the UK, on the other hand it makes foreign currency more expensive and drives up prices on goods imported from abroad. The simplified story is that strong currency is good for imports and weak currency is good for exports. Neither is inherently better than the other, it's a balancing act and which is better depends on the situation.
I would suggest that since the days of Harold Wilson, the harm done by an increase in the cost of imports has risen and that the advantages that can be gained by making British exports more desirable has collapsed. The cost to consumers cannot be understated. British workers have become hugely dependent on imported goods: most of our food is imported, electronics are imported, cars are imported, energy is imported. Back in 1967 Harold Wilson commented on his reluctant decision to devalue to pound saying that here in Britain "the pound in your pocket" is not worth less. That wasn't true then and its even less true now.
All this pain might almost be justified if the increase in exports boosted British industry, got the economy growing and we were all better off in the long run. But it seems like it may well all be for no benefit. British exporters are also importers, whose costs will rise. The cost of capital goods rises along with that of consumer goods. The much noticed rise in the cost of fuel, in no small part a result of the falling pound, could have a devastating impact on costs all on its own. Suddenly the number of producers who stand to see a net gain shrinks considerably.
Moreover, exporters are also employers of labour, the cost of which is tied to the cost of living, which in turn is tied to the cost of imports. In the UK the cost of living is highly sensitive to the cost of imports and hence to changes in the exchange rate. It's only those industries which are least sensitive to changes in the cost of labour which can fully reap the benefits of a low exchange rate.
Why, then, does the Government not appear to consider this a cause for concern? The answer, I would suggest, is that while the inflationary effects of devaluation can mean pain for workers they can be a boon for governments. It's much easier to cut or suppress real wages in times of high inflation that low inflation, especially if contracts are only renegotiated every few years, and those public pay or benefit freezes go a lot further when you drive down the value of that capped figure. For a government fixated on a programme of austerity, knocking a few points off the pound every now and then is stealthiest and least politically harmful way of picking every pocket in the land; if done well, it's less likely to provoke strikes than direct pay cuts and it'll cost them fewer votes than tax hikes and benefit cuts.

Government IT managers interested in experimenting with Docker, but wary of its complexity, have a new resource with Panamax, a Docker management platform.
Created by CenturyLink Labs, Panamax gives developers a single management platform to easily create, share and deploy any Docker-containerized application, the company said in its announcement.
Docker, the Linux container manager that Panamax is based on, is a fast-growing open-source project used by the developer and devops communities. Because it makes containers portable and sharable, Docker allows developers to collaborate on infrastructure.
Panamax is a containerized app creator with an open-source app marketplace hosted in GitHub that provides a friendly interface for users of Docker, Fleet & CoreOS.
"We developed Panamax to make it even easier to use Docker," said Lucas Carlson, chief innovation officer at CenturyLink. "Panamax lets you combine Linux containers like Legos, stitching together the best-of-breed containers built by the devops community, and then deploy them anywhere."
Prior to Panamax, running multi-container, multi-server apps with Docker was difficult. Developers needed to learn as many as five new technologies – libswarm, systemd, etcd, ambassador and fleet – as well as Docker-specific best practices just to get started.
Panamax packages these technologies and best practices for an intuitive user experience that automates the heavy lifting of deploying complex applications. Developers drag-and-drop containers and can easily access the open-source cloud application marketplace. Panamax can run on laptops, virtual machines, bare metal or any public cloud that supports CoreOS like CenturyLink Cloud.
"As one of the fastest-growing open-source projects in history, Docker is going to change the game in application development," said James Governor, principal analyst at RedMonk, the developer-focused industry analyst firm. "Panamax is designed to be Docker management for humans, dramatically simplifying multi-container app deployment."
Panamax is available today on GitHub under an Apache 2 license. To learn more or to access and download the Panamax software, visit www.panamax.io.

Item #0116
60 days. Pencil Pod is an heirloom variety
popular with gardeners since it was
introduced in 1900. The "slim as a
pencil", curved yellow pods are 6" long,
stringless and tender. Unlike green
beans, these black-seeded yellow wax
snap beans are easy to see among the
foliage. Grow in the ground or in
containers. Very disease resistant.
This packet sows one 10-foot row.
Seedling Image
Days to Emerge:
Seed Depth:
Seed Spacing:
Row Spacing:
When to sow outside: RECOMMENDED. 1 to 2 weeks after average last frost and when soil temperature is at least 65°F-ideally 70°-85°F. Successive Sowings: Every 7 to 14 days up to 80 days before first fall frost.
NOTE: In very hot summer areas, sow as recommended above but skip the heat of summer as daytime temperatures consistently above 90°F will cause bean flowers to drop off (no bean formation).
When to start inside: Not recommended.
Harvesting: Snap beans are ready to pick when the pod "snaps" or breaks in half cleanly. This is when seeds have just begun to form and the pods are 4" - 8" long. Hold stem with one hand, and the pod with the other hand to avoid pulling off branches which may continue to produce. At season's end, plants are great compost material if not diseased.

May Long Weekend
Here we are in the long weekend of May and moving toward the end of the month already. It's now the fresh green of new leaves and the earth around my place has been totally transformed into a glorious living garden. It's pure pleasure to go walking or for a drive and see how the North has been transformed from a frigid white to a vibrant green and to see people out in their yards, planting and enjoying the sunshine. We have done the yard clean-up, mowed the grass for the first time this season and have plans to add shrubs and a larger flower bed. I a painted fresh coat on the windmill and our two porches will get a fresh coat of stain as soon as we hit another sunny weekend. I even cleaned the inside of the car out and vacuumed all the grit and dirt from the carpets and washed the mud from the mats.

The warmth of the sunshine is felt so much this weekend. The digital thermometer reads around 22c. I even feel more warmth in my home, making breezes drifting in through open windows welcome. I also set up the fans to add more air flow throughout the house. The air smells fresh with hints of new plants and grass. This weekend marked the start to camping for most folks in this area since our outdoor starved souls are thirsty for every moment of sunshine and beautiful weather.

James Hylton hanging up his racing helmet at 79
KANSAS CITY, Kan. -- James Hylton gingerly climbed out of his No. 48 car after ARCA practice at Kansas Speedway on Friday, and nobody could blame him for moving a little bit slower than his competitors.
He's 79 years old, after all.
The oldest driver to race in each of NASCAR's three highest divisions, Hylton was calling it a career after Friday night's race. The Cup rookie of the year in 1966, Hylton has spent the last several years of his career racing in the ARCA series.
MORE: Photos: NASCAR's toughest drivers | Inside Furniture Row Racing | Kansas favorites, picks | Photos: Drivers behaving badly
"I know it's going to be very painful, especially the way this car drives. To be out there running with some of the top guys -- before I'd see them disappear, now I can keep them in sight," Hylton told The Associated Press. "It's a tremendous feeling. To know at the end of the day it'll all be kind of like a dream. It'll be gone but I'm going to make the best of it."
Hylton's friends put together a car they believe can compete at Kansas, and it even sports a gold paint scheme that honors the early years of his racing career.
"I'm retiring at the end of the day, but my heart is wanting to keep going," he said. "But it's a done deal. I won't be back as a driver."
Born on his family's farm in Virginia in 1934, Hylton's family had to work hard to make ends meet during the Depression. Hylton remembers toiling in the fields all day to help out.
He started driving in his father's Ford Model T -- his brother taught him how to work the pedals. And from that humble beginning, Hylton embarked on a winding career in motorsports. He served as a mechanic for Rex White and then a crew chief for Ned Jarrett in the early days of NASCAR, then got back behind the wheel and placed second in the Cup standings in 1966.
Hylton also finished second in points to Richard Petty in 1967 and '71, and won twice in more than 600 Cup starts: at Richmond in 1970 and Talladega in 1972. In all, the good-natured Hylton racked up 140 top-five finishes and 321 top-10s in the Cup series.
"Every time I see him out there in that 48, it brings a smile to my face," Jimmie Johnson said. "He got that number off to a good start. He's truly passionate and loves our sport, and it's nice to see him out there one last time."
When asked what he hoped to be doing at age 79, Johnson replied: "Breathing."
"I admire anybody that's out on the track," Jeff Gordon added with a smile, "whether they're at full speed or whatever minimal speed. I think it says a lot about someone who wants to go out there and has a passion to do that -- especially now working with AARP."
Hylton announced at Daytona in February that he would be retiring at the end of the season, and NASCAR president Mike Helton joined ARCA president Ron Drager in presenting him a framed photo commemorating his six decades in racing on Friday morning.
"He's accomplished a tremendous amount," Drager said. "We couldn't be prouder that he chose to finish his career with ARCA."
Hylton is hanging up his helmet, but he intends to stick around the sport. He owns his own team and wants to turn it over to a younger driver, and he has friends who own a local track in South Carolina who have promised to let him get his racing fix.
''I'm not going to retire complete to where I don't want to try a racecar out," Hylton said. "I'll go down there in the middle of the week and do me some laps so I just totally don't forget about it. As far as competition is concerned, I'm done."

Today I ran some errands also. Lots of errands to be run for. Too many, really. Well anyway, here's what I wore, my brown second hand boots finally got some action!
And so did my new ribbon earrings, too. They are proving to be quite versatile, they can be used both in sweet and classic. Please feel free to ignore my vacant expression - I didn't sleep well, and when I don't sleep, I can't function. Makes me wonder how on earth did I ever survive at my job at the Helsinki-Vantaa airport...

Body discovery: Death on Observatory Hill likely a suicide
The body found early Friday morning on Observatory Hill at the University of Virginia has been deemed a probable suicide by officials. The deceased person was described as a 33-year-old white female found at approximately 7:54am on June 8. Police believe the woman was formerly a student.
The case got widespread attention after UVA Chief of Police Michael A. Gibson sent an e-mail to students and faculty Friday afternoon, alerting the community to the discovery of the body and noting that while the cause of death did not appear natural there was no perceived threat to the community.
The body was found on a trail in the woods, a popular site for area hikers and mountain-bikers, according to UVA Police Captain Michael Coleman. He says that additional details may be released once medical examiners complete an autopsy report.

June 8th, perhaps, rather than July 8th?
My bad. Thanks.--editor hawes spencer
Yeah, that's the important thing here, not the young ladies's death....prayers going out to her family.
Will they/have they made an identification?
R.I.P.: Will Geer
omgitspaul, were this my friend or loved one, every inaccuracy posted or printed would be another dagger. My comment was meant as a kindness and a service. I've personally encounted suicide twice before: once an employee, once a family member. Pragmatic assistance in its wake has value & expresses caring. If we narrow our definitions of a proper response to another's sorrow to only one allowable phrase or action, we lose the value of having many skills & responses in our community. We lose our community. At a time like this, friends & family need more community, not less.
However, there is a proper way to correct someone, which you managed to avoid. Plus, expressing sympathy after being called out cuts back on sincerity.
how does anyone know it was a suicide? was there a note?

The Brotherhood of the Horse (aka Knights of Azeroth or Knights of Stormwind) was the official name of the kingdom of Stormwind's knights before the First War.[1] (W1manH 22) [2] (W2man 31, 40) Most of the knights were killed fighting in the last battles of the war, but took many orcs with them. They were the most feared warriors in the Azerothian army. Many of the knights who fell to the orcs were transformed into death knights by Gul'dan.[2] (W2man 68)
The Brotherhood once occupied the tower of Karazhan, which would one day become the home of the sorcerer Medivh. Because of this, the tower and its surrounding buildings sometimes show their influence, such as horse heads in various ornamentation.[citation needed]
The most notable, and only known, member of the Brotherhood was Anduin Lothar, who became a knight and rose to the position of 20th Armsman.[citation needed] After the First War, in recognition of his services to his people, Sir Lothar was given the title of Regent Lord of Azeroth.[2] (W2man 31)

Readers FAQ's and Answers from Pros - Track Tech
Every Month Our Panel of Experts From Racing's Top Minds, Teams and Companies Answers Your Queries
So Many QuestionsQ: I build some restricted 500 4412 carb engines for some local racers, and I have some questions. First, how tight can you run the piston-to-head clearance on an engine like this? I have run it as tight as .030. Is there a point that it gets too tight and adversely affects burn rate or hurts power in some way? We are restricted to a solid cam, but we can run any exhaust we want. We can also run alcohol. We must run a production head with no porting. Would you put oversize valves in a Vortec head? As far as cams go, would a single pattern benefit me?Daniel ComptonVia E-Mail
A: Consider that alcohol tends to burn slower than gasoline. Because its latent heat of combustion is roughly half that of gasoline, an increase in volume is necessary to approach equal or higher power levels. You already know this, but it sets a stage for comments that follow.
While the intake-to-exhaust flow relationship for the Vortec heads is pretty good for gasoline and rules limitations, you might want to consider two possible changes to the intake side. One is to increase valve size and the other is to use a dual-pattern cam that favors a later intake valve closing point. This can allow an increase in volumetric efficiency and help compensate for the alcohol's lower heat of combustion (compared to gasoline) by the potential for increased fuel volume. Larger intake-valve size may help net airflow at higher lift values, but it can lead to reduced flow velocity in the under-4,000rpm range if that's important to you. The camshaft might be an easier, more effective and less expensive area to investigate.
The head-to-piston clearance issue may be a little less defined. Since you didn't reference compressed gasket thickness, I'll assume you're not talking about deck height but total quench distance. Generally, you'd like sufficient "quench" to keep mixtures active (for improved combustion activity or "mixture motion") but not so tight that it reduces net burn. Opinions will vary on this subject, but we've seen clearances in the 0.024 to 0.028-inch range run successfully. Combustion chamber shape can influence this minimum especially with alcohol.
You may also discover that quench height reduction can have an effect on optimum ignition spark timing. For example, if you're "over-quenching" the burn, then you may find an additional one to two degrees of spark timing is required (short of detonation) as compared to optimum spark if the burn is progressing normally. While you may consider this nit-picking the issue, it's simply to suggest there's an explorable relationship between flame rate and spark timing. Rather than look for all the reasons, this is only to suggest that changes in quench height should be accompanied by spark timing experimentation in small increments.
Hopefully, this will stimulate some thoughts.Jim McfarlandAutocomAustin, TX
Sportsman SetupQ: I run a '79 Camaro stock front-clip sportsman car on a high-banked 31/48-mile asphalt oval. I purchased a Howe drag link and the 511/44 steering arm and six-inch idler they said works with it. With this configuration, the drag link is angled back on the idler end and so is the tie rod. We have to maintain stock lower control arms and spindles. Is my geometry OK?
Another question I have is about roll center and camber gain. I notched the top of the frame for the upper control arms about 31/44 of an inch and laid in a flat plate. My control arms are heims at each end with screw-in ball joints. The problem is I can only get about 16 degrees on them and fear my roll center will be a little high. I have a five-inch ride height and the lower control-arm points are at equal heights. Should I concentrate a little more on camber gain or rework what I have done and get shorter front springs?Name Withheld UponRequestVia E-Mail
A: I would suggest the angle of the drag link and the angle of the right-side tie rod in the top view will have an effect on your ackerman. I assume you have bump-steered the front end after the changes, and if you haven't, you should do that first. Then do a test with the front end on steer plates. If you zero them out before you start, record the steer angle on the left wheel while steering the right wheel in two-degree increments. You can then look at what kind of ackerman you have. Plotting the angles on graph paper with the left-steer angle on the Y-axis and the right- steer angle on the X-axis will show you if you have parallel steer, ackerman steer or anti-ackerman steer geometry. You want to have something close to parallel steer from zero to 10 degrees. Another factor to watch is the overall steering ratio. The idler arm is a different length than the steer arm. This means the arcs they follow will be different for a given input from the pitman arm (the length of the pitman arm was not given). The steering system has an overall ratio between the steering-wheel angle and the right-front wheel steer angle. The ratio comes from the steering box ratio as well as the linkage ratio due to pitman arm, idler arm and steer arm lengths. You should measure the overall ratio by recording the steering-wheel angle to get five degrees of right-front wheel steer. If it took 45 degrees at the steering wheel, you would have a 9:1 ratio. If it took 50 degrees at the steering wheel it would be 10:1. Normal short-track ratios will be around 12:1, which would be 60 degrees at the steering wheel.
Regarding the upper control arm, I am assuming this means the upper-arm angle is in the front view. You said you could get only 16 degrees. If you were able to get more angle, the roll center would actually be higher, while the camber change rate would be quicker. As for the question, about whether you should rework what you have done or get shorter front springs, there's really no way to answer that because you didn't say anything about how it performs. How do you know that what you have will not work? If you need more camber gain, use a shorter upper-control arm. The shorter front spring would lower the ride height and change the upper-arm angle, giving more camber gain, but we don't know if you have enough ground clearance for this or if the rules let you lower your car any further. However, if you raise the spring rate by cutting off the spring, you might make the car push (because of the stiffer spring) more than you gain in front grip from the increased camber.
Front-end geometry is a complex problem. There are many interactions of the geometric properties, so it is very difficult to change just one factor. The best method is to measure all of the front-end components and then analyze the geometry in a good three-dimensional computer program. Lowering the inner pivots of the upper-control arm will change the camber gain, the bumpsteer, the roll-center height, the roll-center lateral position, the tire scrub and the anti-dive. Which one of these factors that changed can the driver attribute to a different feel in the car? The answer is not necessarily obvious. A method for evaluating these factors is difficult, which is why even the top Winston Cup teams continue to work on front-end geometry to get the right combination of these many factors working together.Terry SatchellChassis SpecialistFord Racing
Regarding Reverse RotationQ: I have heard of reverse-rotation engines, but haven't seen any articles on the subject. I would like to know the process for converting an engine to reverse rotation (cam, ignition, valvetrain, oil pump, starter modifications, etc. ). What kinetic/gyro effects would result?Guy LavertyVia E-Mail
A: Years ago, I did some work with Smokey Yunick on reverse-rotation engines. My recollection is that Smokey said they were "a hell of a lot more trouble than they're worth when you consider all the changes required." In fact, while you're likely to see some reduction in chassis torque that favors less left-front corner lift, there are some related suspension tuning issues that also require rethinking. So even if you get past the mechanical problems involved with changing crankshaft and camshaft rotation and solve technical requirements of the ignition and oiling systems, there are on-track situations that require attention. Maybe Smokey was right. He often was.Jim McfarlandAutocomAustin, TX
Editor's Note: If you wish to do further research on reverse rotation, reference Smokey Yunick's report on it in the May 1991 edition of Circle Track. While it is too large to reprint here, the article covers all your questions in Smokey's own inimitable style.
Needs More Vacuum!Q: I need some help! I run a 406 small-block Chevy. The specs are fresh block, scat crank, Eagle six-inch rods, flat-top forged pistons, Edelbrock RPM heads, cast-iron factory four-barrel, high-rise intake and open three-inch pipes from stock exhaust manifold.
What I need is two more inches of vacuum. Will mufflers help? Will a restrictor plate under a factory Quadrajet? I tried moving timing, and I can get 18 inches, but I need 20. The cam is a .410 lift Crane Saturday-night spec.Scott EvansVia E-Mail
A: Scott, it's hard to tell exactly what you need to do without seeing your engine, but I can give you a couple of ideas to check out. You asked about mufflers, and there's a possibility that might help a little, but there are two bigger things that probably will help you more.
I don't know where you have the cam in the engine, but it might help to advance the cam just a shade, two or three degrees. That should help your vacuum some. The other option is likely to make the biggest difference. You don't say, but I have to assume from the other specs you gave that you are running a hydraulic cam and lifters. Competition Cams makes a lifter called a Hi-Tech Hydraulic lifter that actually bleeds down. That should definitely get you the two more inches of vacuum you need. It doesn't hurt your engine at all and it helps to get the vacuum down when your engine is being checked, but once the rpms get up there it all straightens out and does just what it's supposed to do.Jay DickensJay Dickens EnginesAberdeen, MS

Another month, another movie tie-in. Are we done yet? Certainly not! With the summer around the corner, family movies are popping out like mice in a cheese factory. Just a few days ago, I went to the theater to watch the follow-up to The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe. I didnt think Prince Caspian was quite as exciting as the first movie, but its a decent one to watch with the younger ones, as long as they arent too scared of weird creatures and such.
The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian video game is inspired by the movie, though it puts more emphasis on the battles than the actual movie does; it also includes some deleted scenes that didnt make it to the final cut in the film. However, I didnt find this game as entertaining as other movie tie-ins, so I recommend people who enjoy this kind of family game to proceed with caution.
There are a few reasons why someone would choose to play this game. First of all, it follows the same story as the movie, so it extends its enjoyment a little further. In the movie, we saw how the kids (once kings and queens of Narnia) are back in London and living a somewhat normal life. While waiting for the train at the Underground station, the forces of magic pull them back to Narnia. Its been a hundred years since they left, and Narnia has since been invaded by the Telemarines. These heartless humans devastated the lands and killed all the Narnians who couldnt escape. But, who brought the Pevensie siblings back to Narnia? It was none other than prince Caspian, who summoned them with Susans horn. His life is in danger, and he summons the kids in a desperate act to defeat his evil uncle and return the land to its original people. Little did he know the kings and queens of Narnia hed heard about were younger than him!
Thats basically the story, but in the game everything starts with the battles between the Narnians and the Telemarines, just before Peter, Edmund, Susan, and Lucy return. Players will be able to choose one of four Narnian characters to start. Theres a dwarf, a faun, a minotaur, and a centaur. Each of the characters has its own abilities, which plays an important role when it comes to solving puzzles. The second reason why someone would play this game is the multiplayer co-op support. Up to four players can participate at the same time and take on the role of one of the four playable characters. As you advance through the game, youll be able to control different characters in the story, including, of course, the Pevensie kids. Its a good way to keep the gameplay fresh, though overall its not very interesting or fun to play.
The controls are easy enough for anyone to pick up. The combat moves dont require much more than mere button-mashing, and the puzzles are usually solved by finding something somewhere and putting it somewhere else, sometimes using character-specific abilities like the dwarfs grappling hook, the minotaurs strength, etc. The gameplay is rather simple and I have no complaints in this regard; if anything, it was a little too easy for those looking to be challenged. The camera angles were a bit fiddly sometimes, but they never became truly annoying.
The main problem I found with the game was its simplicity. Simplicity can be understood as kids-friendly, which is good for family-based games; however, theres more to it in this case. The gameplay is utterly monotonous. Theres a lot of button-mashing during the very repetitive battles, and the puzzles are not very clever. To top it off, the graphics leave a lot to be desired. The environments and characters lack detail, and the textures look a bit primitive. In addition, I came across a few glitches that were just cheesy as can be. One of them is when the dwarf and the satyr retrieve Susans horn from a chest I was playing with the satyr and had him open the chest. Once they showed how he opens it, a cutscene backtracks to before the chest was open and the dwarf opens it instead. Whaaaat!!? That will just give you an idea about the overall quality of the game.

While many die-hard "Harry Potter" fans would settle for an autographed copy of author J.K. Rowling's fan-favorite series, those with $3.7 million to spare can score the ultimate "Harry Potter" memorabilia, Rowling's own house.
The British author, who is set to release her first book called "The Casual Vacancy" for the post-teen set next week, lived in this Edinburgh, Scotland home as she penned several volumes in the "Harry Potter" series, reports the Huffington Post.
Rowling's abode features an ivy-clad facade, a kitchen with wooden cabinetry and a black and white checkered tile backsplash, hardwood floors, all of which are set within a walled garden. The idyllic Victorian house comes with eight bedrooms though, unfortunately, no "Harry Potter" memorabilia. Not even a magical wand.

Your skin undergoes numerous changes in your lifetime. These changes and the speed at which they occur are influenced by many factors. One of the most significant factors that affect your skin is your age. Other factors include…
All of these changes affect the appearance of your skin, leading to lines, wrinkles, sagging, and other issues all over your body. They can leave you looking years older than you really are.
As you've noticed these changes in your skin, you may have found you're doing everything you can to hide problem areas. You may be carefully selecting clothes to cover specific regions or wearing makeup to cover problem areas on your face. In spite of that, you may still feel self-conscious.
Also, why should you have to hide behind clothing, makeup, and other accessories? At Sunset MedSpa in Beaverton, Oregon, we can provide you with a wide array of different treatments to improve the appearance of your skin, giving you back a more youthful appearance as well as your confidence.
Laser hair removal is one of the most commonly performed cosmetic treatments available. This non-invasive treatment provides you with an alternative to shaving and waxing and provides you with longer-lasting results.
Laser hair removal uses highly concentrated light to penetrate hair follicles and render them inactive. The light targets melanin explicitly in the hair follicles, the pigments that give hair their color. When the laser light hits the melanin, it turns to heat, effectively destroying them and preventing future hair growth.
Treatments for laser hair removal typically take about 30 minutes or less to complete. You'll also need to have several treatments, which are generally spaced out about 4 to 6 weeks. This is because hair growth occurs in three stages, and not all of your hairs are in the same stage at any given time.
For the treatment to be effective, the hair must be in the growth stage. There's no downtime associated with laser hair removal, although you may notice some redness or minor sensitivity. For the next 4 weeks, you'll see the unwanted hair falling out, leaving you with smooth skin.
Juvashape by Alma is a non-invasive treatment designed to contour and sculpt your body. It's designed to eliminate stubborn pockets of fat as well as smooth and tighten your skin.
This incredible treatment provides you with an alternative to traditional, invasive, surgical procedures to achieve these goals, helping to eliminate not just surgery, but the pain, swelling, and recovery time associated with the process as well. No anesthesia is needed, and you can resume your normal activities after your treatments. Juvashape is also ideal for all different kinds of skin types.
Juvashape by Alma has two modalities – skin tightening and fat reduction. Skin tightening is achieved using radio frequency while fat reduction is achieved with ultrasound. One or both of these modalities can be used to customize your specific treatment
The skin tightening modality uses radio frequency to treat loose skin, crepey skin, cellulite, jowls, and wrinkles. Radiofrequency uses controlled heat, which is delivered into the deeper layers of your skin. The radio frequency works to stimulate your body's natural production of collagen and elastin, which helps to restore smoother, tighter, more youthful skin.
The fat reducing modality uses ultrasound technology to tackle belly bulge, your flanks, fat around the bra line, double chin, fat on the legs, and cellulite. Ultrasound technology allows us to selectively target areas of fat to eliminate stubborn fat cells, getting rid of them for good. The ultrasound waves break the fat cells, releasing the fat inside to be metabolized by your body. Fat cells are broken down without harm to surrounding tissues.
Skin resurfacing is also commonly referred to as a non-surgical facelift. This type of treatment uses a laser to improve the texture and appearance of your skin. It can be used to treat many different issues, including age spots, sun spots, acne scars, fine lines and wrinkles, and uneven skin tone.
There are two types of lasers, ablative and non-ablative. Ablative lasers remove the outermost layers of your skin, helping to get rid of scars, lines, wrinkles, and other superficial skin concerns. These lasers can produce results in as little as one treatment.
Non-ablative lasers don't remove skin layers. Instead, these lasers use pulsed light or fractional technology to treat issues such as rosacea, spider veins, and acne-related skin issues. While there are fewer risks for side effects with non-ablative lasers, you may need multiple treatments to achieve your desired results.
While skin resurfacing is classified as non-surgical, there is some downtime involved with both ablative and non-ablative laser skin resurfacing. For non-ablative skin resurfacing, recovery can take 3 to 10 days. Ablative skin resurfacing may require up to 3 weeks. Your skin may turn red and develop scabs. Taking care of your skin during this time will help to avoid infections and other potential issues.
A photofacial is a cosmetic procedure that involves using intense pulses of light to penetrate deep into your skin. The light is absorbed by red blood cells and melanin. The melanin breaks up and this absorbed by your skin, which aids in reducing the appearance of the discoloration on the surface of your skin. The light on the red blood cells triggers improved blood flow, further helping the melanin to absorb more efficiently.
Photofacials can be used to treat many different issues, including sun spots, age spots, broken capillaries, spider veins, hyperpigmentation, and rosacea. Treatments generally take 20 minutes to an hour, and you often need multiple treatments to achieve the desired results. Much like many other types of non-invasive cosmetic procedures, there's no real downtime following your photofacials, and you can resume your normal activities right after leaving the office.
Microneedling is a minimally invasive procedure that involves the use of a tool that has a multi-needle head. These needles are tiny. During your treatment, the needles are used to perforate your skin. The goal of this is to stimulate the production of new collagen and elastin in your skin.
The needles are so tiny that it causes minimal discomfort, but they perforate the surface of the skin just enough to encourage new tissue growth to rejuvenate your skin. Because the pinpricks of these needles are done evenly, tissues restore themselves simultaneously, helping to produce incredible results.
Microneedling can be used to treat many different concerns, including uneven skin tone and texture, large pores, reduced elasticity, sun damage, scars (acne scars, surgical scars, and trauma scars), and fine lines and wrinkles.
A topical anesthetic is applied to your skin to prevent discomfort and treatment generally takes about half an hour to complete. Once your microneedling is complete, a solution is applied to the surface of the skin to help stimulate tissue regeneration. You may notice some skin irritation for a few days following your treatments, but this shouldn't last long.
Microdermabrasion is a non-invasive treatment that uses tiny crystals to exfoliate your skin. It works to remove the dead, dry outer layer of your skin, allowing your fresh, healthy skin underneath to be revealed. By rejuvenating the surface of the skin, we are able to help brighten your complexion.
Microdermabrasion works in two parts. The first part involves the use of a machine to spray tiny crystals on your skin, which works to remove dead skin cells. The second part consists of the application of a vacuum to suck up the skin cells and other debris.
It's a safe procedure for all skin types and can be used to treat issues such as hyperpigmentation, fine lines and wrinkles, enlarged pores, blackheads, stretch marks, dull skin, uneven tone and texture, and sun damage. There is little to no downtime following microdermabrasion, and you can resume your normal activities immediately after leaving the office.
A chemical peel is a type of treatment that involves the application of a chemical solution on your skin to remove the top layers. They are specially formulated to remove a variety of different imperfections while also accelerating the process of skin cell regeneration. They also help to increase the production of collagen and elastin. You are left with softer, smoother, more radiant skin.
Chemical peels can treat many different issues such as sun damage, uneven skin tone and texture, acne scars, fine lines and wrinkles, and sunspots. There are a few different types of chemical peels, designed to achieve different results. Mild chemical peels are the gentlest, and the most common, types of chemical peels. They typically use glycolic acid.
Medium chemical peels use alpha-hydroxy acids, which are neutralized with water upon completion of treatment. These chemical peels are often used for smoothing skin and evening tone. Deep chemical peels are the strongest, but most effective peels available. They require the longest recovery time but last the longest.
We also provide several different types of injectable treatments to help restore a more vibrant, youthful appearance.
Botox Cosmetic. Botox is a treatment used to treat fine lines and wrinkles, such as those on the forehead, crow's feet, lines around your mouth, and lines on your lips. This injectable treatment uses a Botulinum toxin A.
Botox is a purified protein that works to disrupt nerve signals that tell specific muscles to contract. By preventing the contraction of targeted muscles, your skin is able to smooth out, causing fine lines and wrinkles to diminish or even disappear altogether. Treatment is quick and virtually painless and the results last 3 to 4 months.
Dysport. Dysport is another type of injectable treatment that uses Botulinum toxin A. It's a very similar treatment to Botox, but the formulations are different. They're diluted differently, meaning different amounts are required to achieve the desired results. The molecules of Dysport are smaller allowing this injectable to work faster and spread further. By being able to spread more, Dysport can be used to treat more extensive areas. Much like Botox, Dysport lasts 3 to 4 months.
Juvederm. Juvederm is a dermal filler. While commonly lumped together with Botox, Juvederm, and other dermal fillers, are used to plump skin rather than disrupt nerve signals. The goal of Juvederm is to restore lost volume, filling out your face and restoring a more youthful appearance. Juvederm is a natural dermal filler, using hyaluronic acid.
Hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring substance that binds water, helping your skin to appear plump and hydrated. As you age, your production of hyaluronic acid and collagen decreases. In addition to restoring lost volume to your face, Juvederm also helps to stimulate your own natural collagen production. Juvederm typically lasts 9 to 12 months.
Restylane. Restylane is another natural dermal filler that is made using hyaluronic acid. Like Juvederm, it restores lost volume, plumping your skin and reducing, and eliminating, the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. While similar to Juvederm, Restylane has a firmer consistency, making it more ideal for areas that require more significant support. This particular filler typically lasts about 6 months.
