I have long suffered with a shiny nose and recently noticed that the pores on my nose, cheeks and chin were looking bigger. I had a baby and my skin care routine was reduced to baby wipes and slapping on moisturiser. I knew it was time to start investing in my face and with Valentine's Day in less than 48 hours I decided to treat myself to some new skin care products. 8 have used soap and glory products in the past and particularly liked The Fab Pore Facial Peel but having read reviews on MUA I decided to try Scrub Your Nose In It. I am so glad that I did because I really like this product so far. It has a pleasant smell which is fresh, invigorating, possibly minty/tea tree(?) and the texture is creamy with fine exfoliating grains. my pores look reduced and my nose has never looked so clear. It has also left it looking shine free which i am really hoping will last. I think soap and glory must have changed the packaging because its now presented in a white box and the squeezy tube seems to be made of thin plastic which is not particularly attractive and unfortunately makes the product look cheap which is a shame. But that is my only complaint, overall I am very impressed and would buy again.

I have repurchased this about 3 times now. I love the clean feeling you get from it. I use it in the shower and keep it on for a couple of minutes while I shave my legs. I like to follow with a moisturizer as it can be a bit drying. Can't say it's "cleared up" my skin, but it definitely doesn't break me out, and I like the fresh-almost minty smell.
Brilliant highly recommend it. My skin is so clear and smooth!
I've been using this stuff for about three years, and I'm a fan. Its my HG exfoliator. The packaging is absolutely lovely, pink pink pink! Soap&Glory always have the prettiest packaging, with vintage ladies and pretty fonts, I feel proud having their products in my shower. The pretty pink packaging is something I'm happy to display.
The product inside is pretty wonderful too! The scrub is pretty seafoam green blue, with the abrasive little.. Chunks (not sure what they are). It really digs the crap out of your skin, leaving it soft. I use this stuff about twice a week.
The bottle says you can leave it on longer for a pore-purifying mask but I dont recommend it. I have tried so called mask and it kinda burns :-s
I will keep buying this stuff cus it does have significant impact on my pores and it makes my skin very soft.
I've had this in my bathroom for over a year but my skin is prone to redness so I tend to avoid scrubs but I've recently fallen deeply in love with the rest of the Soap and Glory range so I said I'd give this a go!
There seems to be confusion about whether this is also a mask, what it says on the back is "leave on for an extra three minutes for better results" or something along those lines. So although it doesn't have the consistency of a mask that hardens, it can be used as such.
So while in the shower I took a blob of this (you don't need very much) I gently rubbed it around my t-zone and a little on my cheeks which have large pores too and left a layer on my skin while I body scrubbed etc.
It does feel like it's working, it gets kind of minty hot and I was thinking my face is going to be so red after this! So I washed it off after maybe five minutes (slightly longer than recommended)
When I get out of the shower I always wipe a patch on the mirror to see have I got panda eyes or anything, usually my face is roaring red but it looked really well! I was then brushing and drying my hair and picked up my mirror and my jaw actually dropped at how clear and lovely my skim looked! I can't believe I had this wonderful product just sitting in my bathroom unused!
I personally wouldn't use it every day as I feel it may be a little harsh and I use Peaches and Clean which I adore, but I'll definitely use this twice a week for a nice deep clean. I highly recommend!
Love this product. I use it as a scrub everyday and a mask every 1-2 weeks. It definitely reduces my pores and unclogs them. It always leaves my face fresh, but a little tight but great once I put my moisturiser on. Will definitely buy again :)
This did nothing for me, I have a oily t zone which gets congested quickly and after regular use this made my skin develop mini bumps which I never had before, I dident find that it left my skin clean enough and I can't feel the beads working on my skin, it left my skin dull, bumpy, and congested definitely dident work for me, however it doesn't dry out the skin which is good.
This works great! I'd say the main reason this product works is because it contains Willow bark extract which has Salicylic acid in it. salicylic acid is something that really has the power to unclog pores. So whenever you're looking for products to help get rid of blackheads, acne, or just to exfoliate, be sure to check the ingredients for salicylic acid. When you use this product be sure not to over scrub, just gently massage. I'm not sure if this particular product is still sold in the u.s., I think it's been replaced with Soap & Glory's "Greatest Scrub of All Facial Exfoliator", which is fine by me because it still contains salicylic acid, and they make it sound like it might actually work even better.
I first thought this was a mask...but it wasn't a big deal though. I bought this at boots and got 2 for the price of one! The smell is very minty and i LOVE it! It has tiny tiny grains in it and when you wash your face with it, it doesn't foam up. My face became much softer and smoother and my pores did become a little smaller. I might buy this again, it is one of my favorite masks of all time! :)
This is my favourite scrub ever!
I use it twice as a scrubb and once I leave it as a mask.
It smells nice (minty), it is easy to squeeze, it is easy to apply, I have a refreshing feeling when it is on my face and it doesn't leak, breaks or falls from my face.
The particles are very very smooth but you have to apply it easy and massage gently. If you have oily t-zone, you still have to massage gently and don't overdue it!
After I wash it off, my skin is clean, very soft, refreshed, my pores are smaller and MOST of my blackheads are gone.
I have been using this for a month now (after staying for a year or so in my cabinet) and I'm glad I'm using it because I see improvments in my skin appereance: clean and clear skin, few blackheads, smaller pores, no oiliness and my scars are fading.
Be careful how many times you use this and how you apply it on your face. Don't use it too many times because you will have dry, irritated, flaky skin (been there done that).
For me (combination skin, blackheads, acne prone) it goes well 2 times/week.
Moisturise after using this product.
I will repurchase.

Thermal Modeling of a Power Transformer
Model ID: 475
This model describes the temperature distribution in a coil-shaped power transformer which is cooled by forced flow of transformer oil from the bottom.
The properties of the oil varies strongly with temperature, making modeling of the fluid flow in combination with the heat transfer necessary. The results show the position of the "hot spot", and that there is an unexpected radial flow component caused by the variation in fluid viscosity. A significant effect of the buoyancy forces caused by density variation is also seen.
This model was built using the following:Heat Transfer Module

Separating Contenders from Pretenders
New chiefs or new commanders must know their territory as well. What are your local hot buttons? Before the downward economic troubles, it was crime and perception.
If you have ever watched the movie or production of the play Music Man the opening scene in the train car is between the traveling salesmen of yesteryear. The lines of "can ya talk, and ya gotta know the territory" is repeated by the veteran salesmen. But, when the new guy is mentioned, well "He's a fake, and he doesn't know the territory" and so goes the plot. There is not much difference between these traveling salesmen and cops. Both want a colleague to know the work and know the territory.
New chiefs or new commanders must know their territory as well. What are your local hot buttons? Before the downward economic troubles, it was crime and perception. We are good at fighting crime that is what we do, now it seems to be the budget more than ever. However as a chief or a precinct commander you fight perception. You see, perception is our reality to deal with, what the public sees is more often what we fight rather than real criminality. Several years ago, I fielded a rumor which was swirling. A few of the local ladies had cooped up the idea of street gangs standing on the corner, the city has been overrun with hoodlums. Recalling the sage wisdom of my mentor chief to deal with a small problem today before it becomes a big problem tomorrow, I attempted to head this one off. That very afternoon, off I went with some officers to confront the issue. The large group of ruffians was downtown apartment dwellers, who rented one room flats above downtown storefronts and businesses. It was summer, they did not have air conditioning and standing around outside was their only escape from the sweltering inside temperatures. Few calls the next day to get them squared away and called the little ladies. It seems that their perception of the heathens, which was wrong, then became my reality. Did I know my territory? Not all the way but no chief or sheriff is going to know every square inch of group of their jurisdiction, so you gather up your staff and handle it. You must have the connection to handle these incidents as they crop up and land upon your lap.
Staying in touch with local issues and hot buttons is all dependant upon your style of management. One thing is that you can not stay locked up in the office, you got to know the territory. Years ago there was a concept of management known as Management By Walking Around (MBWA). Here the manager would walk about the area of responsibility to get a handle on the talk, the culture and make themselves more available to staff. This worked for most and is still a great way to get beyond the open door policy and take you to the troops. Key point here is not to interfere but to listen, which is a lost art in itself nowadays. I guess I do the Management by Wandering Around, I get out and wander about the shops, establishments and such. I have always felt that the taxpayers pay good money to see and actually meet their chief or sheriff. I stay amazed at the number of good folks who have never had a conversation with a cop. They will smile, nearly asking permission to speak with you. Most of the time it is pleasant and some times I wished I had stayed in the office. The citizen contact time is great and pays off. For those who know me, I wear a uniform most every working day, again I want to be seen by the public. I recall once where I was asked at a community meeting had the chief been in attendance. In this case I was a commander and the chief had been there in a suit and tie. The old man who asked the question of 'how am I suppose to know the chief from an insurance salesman if he was wearing a suit' Made an impression on me. Be seen by the public.

Lockout Update Day 95: there is still a lockout. For @$%# sakes… (stay positive!)
The newsfeed, or rather the NHL newsfeed, is so barren that I needed to solicit ideas in the forum to put a decent ramblings together. But the results were fantastic, I forgot how great an idea it was to do that.
First the usual lockout news. Steve Fehr gave Bill Daly a call yesterday. The conversation was brief. No talks scheduled. Well done! Jason Kay from THN reports that the league will cancel more games between now and Friday. Friday being the day that the union probably dissolves. Just getting a little jab of their own in. The best defense is a good offense, right?
Here is a piece from the Globe and Mail about how the NHL is destroying the brand. As if that's a shocking development. But an interesting read with some interesting quotes:
They found a lot of males have slipped into "neutrality" about the game – are now bored with hockey talk and feel they no longer relate to the game. Football – both CFL and NFL – is on the rise among those fans, who continue to be interested in sports.
From a branding point of view, NHL hockey and its multiple corporate sponsors are facing a huge hurdle, Kincaid says. The passionate fans are angry, the neutral fans turned off and bored, the mostly non-fans – the people hockey needs to attract if it hopes to grow – disgusted.
"Think what this means to the sponsors of hockey," Kincaid says. "For almost one-third of Canadians, you are wasting your time on them. You've lost them. They are not going to become even 'neutral.'"
Here is some great insight on Dallas Stars prospects, and how they rate, this season, so far. The biggest risers are Brett Ritchie and Matej Stransky, as far as I'm concerned. The biggest faller is Scott Glennie, but Austin Smith hasn't been great either.
If you missed the latest Down Goes Brown, it's good for a few laughs. He gives you a primer for the upcoming WJC. I love the Latvia section - read it here.
And while you're in a laughing mood, Puck Daddy reviews the 10 funniest hockey bloopers of 2012.
Anders Lindback is sidelined for 10 days after suffering a cut on his knee. I'm sure if a season magically started in nine days, he'd be okay for then too.
An interesting take by Mike Colligan over at The Hockey Writers, outlining how brilliant the Penguins are for shedding cap room without hurting their team. Now they have the flexibility to swoop in and 'help' teams hurting by lack of cap space, not to mention outbid teams in the pursuit of free agents. Fully agree.
Devin Setoguchi has taken a leave of absence from his ECHL team. He wanted a break for the holidays and then hopes for a resolution to the lockout.
Pierre-Marc Bouchard is concussion symptom-free.
I was asked what to do in a keeper league if the season is cancelled. This is one I've addressed a few times, especially last summer (when it wasn't too late) - basically, this contingency plan needed to be in place in September. The GM's needed to vote in a system and be clear on it. Anyway, hindsight is 20/20. But the best course of action is - follow the rules. Your rules will say that the draft is every September, based on the reverse order of finish. Take that literally. That is to say, draft again based on that reverse order of 2011-12 finish. That's what I'm doing in my two leagues. That's what we did last time. In fact, it resulted in someone getting both Ovechkin and Crosby last lockout. But the league is competitive enough that not only were the rest of us able to fight past that, but the guy never won. You have to follow the rules, and you have to give preferably a year's notice on any new rules. So at this point you stick with the rules you have in place. That's my advice, I'm sure there are other people with other thoughts on this.
A request for a Claude Giroux update - he's nearly fully recovered from his neck injury and is skating in the Ottawa area. He has no plans to return to Germany.
Some NCAA notes, also by request - I reviewed the nationwide stats, something that I haven't done in awhile but should do more often. A junior (third-year) undrafted player by the name of Brett Gensler (Bentley U.), 22, leads the nation in points and points-per-game with 26 (in 15). He's a small player, but probably bigger than the 160 pounds that HockeyDB has him listed at.
Next up is another undrafted junior - Ryan Walters. He also has 26 points (for U.Nebraska-Omaha), though in 18 games. He has some size, so I'm guessing he gets an NHL contract when the dust settles. He was player of the month in November after posting 15 points in just seven games.
Runner up for player of the month was Calgary prospect Johnny Gaudreau. I'm a big fan of Gaudreau - of course I am, he's a small, skilled guy. Here's your Nathan Gerbe Part 2 - you're looking at the same timeline for development and production… but with Gaudreau there is always the hope that he stays healthy. Proneness to injury is what is holding Gerbe back at this point. Gaudreau is 5-7, 150 pounds and his DobberProspects profile can be found here. It includes a couple of recent updates. We're updating pretty frequently over at DobberProspects - I updated a few guys myself this week.
Wild prospect Erik Haula, another junior, is also having a strong campaign with 22 points in 17 games. He leads U. of Minnesota in scoring, over teammates Nick Bjugstad (who is at a disappointing 13 points), Kyle Rau (15 points), Zach Budish (13) and Seth Ambroz (nine points). My feeling is that Haula doesn't turn pro in March. What would be the point? The Wild have a ton of prospects making the jump over the next 12 months, so Haula would have a better chance playing out his fourth season next year.
Florida prospect Rocco Grimaldi has 16 points in 18 games for North Dakota. He missed most of last year with a knee injury.
Uh…wow? Wow! I love this - this is what I was trying to do, minus the technical know-how, with my Lockout Tracker. All the players with quick access to stats. But this is …literally showing the stats of all the players on each NHL team, with their current Euro/AHL teams! Check it here, s/t to Mr. Guru. I love my forum!

The league is split down the middle when it comes to our keeper situation however. We have a keep 5 (1 goalie max, no top 2 round picks) and the choices are no change or add 2 keepers (same restrictions) to add some value to the draft we had this fall.

Happy New Year ... again
The Berman Museum of World History is ready to wish you a Happy New Year! No, they haven't misplaced their calendar. They are making ready to welcome the Chinese New Year with a special day of family friendly fun, 10 a.m.-2 p.m. Feb. 9.
Although the Western world celebrated the start of the New Year at one minute after midnight on Dec. 31, the celebration of the traditional Chinese New Year won't actually begin until Feb. 10 this year.
The ancient festivities continue for 15 days, the final day being the actual beginning of the Chinese New Year. However, Berman Museum is getting a bit of a jump on the celebration with this Feb. 9 offering, which will include Chinese storytelling, demonstrations of Oriental paper folding techniques and Chinese sumi-e brush painting, among other things.
Some lucky visitors will also have the chance to see some real live snakes; after all, 2013 is the Year of the Snake! (For the squeamish or the snake-phobic, don't worry — the snakes are handled by trained museum staff, and are not free-roaming!)
In addition, while supplies last, visitors will have their choice of a fortune cookie or a lai see. Be sure to open that tasty fortune cookie for your special fortune. Some will actually contain museum discounts that can be used for future visits. For those who choose the lai see (the traditional red envelope), you'll find a good luck "chocolate" charm within. Storytelling sessions will take place at 10:30 a.m. and 12:30 p.m. Throughout the day, visitors may choose to sign up for very special tours to the Berman Museum's cavernous and mysterious basement, an area normally off-limits to all but museum staff.
While many people have seen the wonders on exhibit in the museum's second floor Arts of Asia Gallery, within the depths of the basement lay many, many more Asian art treasures. There, they are stored, researched, photographed and catalogued by dedicated museum staff. Because of the space restrictions of the basement area, these tours will be limited to small numbers, and children must be accompanied by an adult at all times.
Even if you don't go down into the basement, there will be something new to see in the Arts of Asia Gallery. Some of the newest acquisitions will be in place in the exhibit hall. Plus, in the museum lobby, take a look at the never-before-exhibited, hand-carved, antique Chinese canopy bed. It is a massive and exquisite piece guaranteed to put any other bed to shame!
Chinese New Year visitors will also be among the first to get a glimpse of the soon-to-open Asian Library, a collection of more than 400 books (some rare), which were recently donated by Dr. Oliver and the late Mrs. Pei-Hwa Foo. By special appointment, these volumes will be made available to scholars and researchers of Chinese history and culture.
Lastly, don't forget the changing Chinese puppet exhibit in the main gallery — a new set of 12 meticulously crafted marionettes will take the place of the previously exhibited dozen, and will remain on exhibit for the next six months.
Berman Museum Alliance President Lynne Isom invites everyone to take the opportunity to learn more about this rich and mysterious culture by visiting Berman's Chinese New Year celebration. All the activities are included in Berman's regular (and very reasonable) admission price of $5 for adults and $4 for children ages 4-17. However, if you can't make it to the celebration, don't worry. Many special items will remain on display in the museum lobby through Feb. 24.
