I was out on an antiquing adventure when I happened upon a new restaurant on Cole Street: . Bistro Thyme is located inside the same building as so what could have been more perfect than food and treasures all in one trip.
What caught my eye first was the piano with the words, "Play me" on its top. Just for a moment I thought I could just have this place all to myself if I started to foolishly plunk down some chords but that would have been totally selfish and uncalled for, even for me. I was immediately distracted from my semi-devised scheme with a welcome hello from a very handsome man who led me to my table. Indeed, this was a very good start to my lunch adventure.
While I perused the menu my carnivorous eyes immediately went to the burger section. I was pretty much salivating with the Farmer's Burger which is a ½ pound of glorious ground beef topped with apple wood smoked bacon, a fried egg, provolone cheese and of course lettuce and tomato with an endless supply of their famous hand-cut garlic fries. Need I say this made me a wee bit giddy?
Of course then the little angel on my shoulder promptly brushed the devil aside and shoved an image of all the hard work I've done lately to get in shape. Seriously, does she ever go on vacation? Needless to say, I kept viewing the menu and happened upon the Pittsburg Steak Salad. Sirloin steak AND salad…this was meant to be.
As I waited, I enjoyed the background music which was an eclectic mix of opera, modern jazz and classic hits—a nice combination for all diners. I think I may have been the only one to notice that music as my fellow lunch companions were totally and completely absorbed in their food. There seemed to be a lot of eye rolling, napkins soaking up juicy bits and sighs of contentment from every table around me.
One diner, or actually her Philly Cheese Steak sandwich, intrigued me so much I couldn't stop staring. How I did not manage to sit down next to her, make idle conversation and steal half of this juicy delight oozing with soft provolone cheese and grilled onions amazes me. Thoughts of the piano came to mind but thank goodness my soon to be actions were thwarted by the arrival of my…salad?
Holy foot-and-a-half plate batman! This was like no other salad I had ever seen. Mounds of steaming strips of sirloin on top of fresh cut fries with melted cheddar on top of glorious mixed greenery garnished with rings of red onion and tomatoes. Apparently someone did not read the description of the salad all the way through as this was an unimaginable delight for my eyes. I did keep thinking, however, fries on a salad?
The woman in front of me turned, perhaps amused at my bewilderment and asked me how it was and I told her I was slightly afraid of the fries. She promptly responded, "Honey, it's a Pittsburg thing…they put fries on everything, even their sandwiches!"
I quickly abandoned my fears and dove into this unique salad. I truly think the Fourth of July came early this year due to the tremendous flavor explosion on my taste buds. What an amazing combination of tender grilled sirloin, crispy cheddar melted fries and leafy lettuce. One of the things I could not help but notice was how crisp the lettuce remained even though covered with all this warm goodness. The Pittsburg Salad was a dream come true.
Thank goodness I ordered my dressing on the side (wink).
One recommendation I would have when ordering this salad would be to share with someone as it is absolutely the Hulk of the salad world. Did I mention it was only $10? My stomach and my pocketbook were quite pleased. The looks of shared contentment I exchanged with the other diners plus my meal topping out at only $12 amounted to one successful trip for me to this bistro.
Bistro Thyme is also open for dinner and I am already anticipating the lobster ravioli with a side of homemade mac & cheese and a Caesar salad with perhaps some crab cakes to start. I would invite my little angel but I believe she's at the gym.
Bistro Thyme is located at 1501 Cole St. Enumclaw and can be reached at 360-825-4434.

Kim ShinYoung revealed Sunny's drinking habitApril 15, 2012
Sunny's outstanding drinking ability was revealed again!
On KBS 2TV's 'Invincible Youth 2′ aired on April 14th, Kim ShinYoung and Sunny who were both featured in season 1, got reunited once again as ShinYoung joins the show as the new MC after the departure of Lee SooGeun and Ji HyunWoo.
As ShinYoung did her 'high-fives' with the members of G6 and the guest, Choi Hong Man after being introduced by Boom, she deliberately left out Sunny who playfully kicked her after that. Boom then asked ShinYoung, "When was the last time you met up with Sunny?". In reply to Boom's question, ShinYoung said, "As I'm close with Sunny, we drink occassionally", revealing her close friendship with Sunny.
Feeling rather surprised, Boom said, "But I thought Sunny can't drink". Upon hearing that, ShinYoung immediately objected, "What are you talking about? Sunny loves Pear Makgeolli. She'll start telling obscene jokes when she's drinking", revealing Sunny's unique drinking habit.

Sunny exposes Shinyoung's passing gas incidentSeptember 29, 2010
On SBS E!TV's "Thudding House", Kim Shinyoung described how she woke up SNSD members, who were trying to have a rest after a tiring and exhausting day with her flatulence (passing gas). She then gave Sunny a call. Here's the video and the translations (Sunny's part only):
Sunny: Hi, I'm Sunny from SNSD
Shinyoung: Sunny-ah, what is Unnie's weakness?
Sunny: Unnie, your weakness? About you passing gas as you like?
Lady in black: What is the sound level like when Shinyoung passes gas?
Sunny: The loudest one was like "bbak!" (loudly)
Sunny ends the conversation with "Oh!" using the name of the program as the lyric and said hwaiting!!!
*For this article, we decided to use the word "passing gas" rather than the more usual, more vulgar word, "f*rt" as some readers may find the term rather disturbing.

Kiki Smith On Tattoos and Making Your Own Art
The combination of the beauty marks and the ink on her body, I thought I could tattoo them onto me. ... I could take a mark from somebody else's body and put it on my body as a reminder of somebody. Then I started getting constellations.
Interview by Tift Merritt
2011. Smith's kitchen/studio in NYC.
Digital recorder
Hear the entire interview on The Spark
read more...
Tift Merritt: There was a moment in time where you were hesitant to become an artist. What were your reservations?
Kiki Smith: Well, I grew up with artists (Laughs).
David Gerlach: That reluctant artist is actually quite a famous sculptor. Her name is Kiki Smith. Her can see her work at museums across the country. And she's speaking with another artist, a Grammy-nominated musician named Tift Merritt.
[Music: Tift Merritt – "Mixtape"]
David Gerlach: Now I've known Tift since the University of North Carolina back in the mid-1990s. Back then she was playing in small bars near campus, had a band called The Carbines. And one thing I always remember is that she loved to hear and tell stories. So I wasn't really surprised to learn she had a monthly interview program. It's called The Spark; it airs on Marfa Texas Public Radio. She records her conversations with interesting people who create art, who create something. So she sat down in Kiki Smith's kitchen, and we're bringing you part of that conversation. Our theme today is making your own art—whatever that may be. Even if it's tattoos. This is Blank on Blank.
["Mixtape" continues]
Tift Merritt: Oh my gosh. Kiki has the cosmos tattooed all over her body.
Kiki Smith: (Laughs)
Tift Merritt: Can you tell me why or what it means?
Kiki Smith: There's a younger artist that I know named Jenny Bornstein and she has really beautiful beauty marks all over her, and she's also one of those people who writes notes on her hand. I have a couple of friends of mine who do that. But somehow the combination of the beauty marks and the ink on her body, I thought I could tattoo her beauty marks onto me. And then I was at another artist's house and they had a little bit of paint on their fingers. And I thought, I could take a mark from somebody else's body and put it on my body and then I would remember. That way you would have this weird little reminder to them. Then I started getting constellations. Just ones that I liked, or I asked the astrologer what would be good for me to get. And then I started getting them as a pattern, stars as a pattern. But then I got allergic to the ink and I had to give in to reality for five seconds of my life.
[Music: Tift Merritt]
Tift Merritt: I was thinking about how you really love the process of what you're doing and want to be in the middle of it. That's the hardest place in the world to be, in the process where you don't know where you're going and don't know what you're doing. And it seems like you don't doubt yourself very much in that place.
Kiki Smith: I do in every other aspect of my life; I'm insufferable. But in that one area…maybe it comes from growing up in a family of other artists. But the point isn't to know what you're doing. The point is to have an experience doing something. If I look back on my work, my work has taken care of me. It's very fulfilling, working and making something out of your own being. Being able to apply your energy. I'm not saying one always likes what one's doing or anything like that. You're just who you are and there's not a lot you can do about that.
[Music: Tift Merritt]
Tift Merritt: How are you insufferable in the other aspects?
Kiki Smith: I'm not the easiest person to be around. I'm not the most endlessly interesting, pleasant person to be with.
Tift Merritt: You seem lovely to me.
Kiki Smith: That's because you're a stranger. (Laughs)
Tift Merritt: I was so surprised when I read that you thought about being a nun.
Kiki Smith: You know, I still think about it. I think to have that orderly life of devotion, which is sort of like being an artist, where it's for the greater community. You don't always have to be putting yourself first. When you're on your own, you're putting yourself first often and sometimes that's burdensome. I'm someone who's lived alone my entire life and have no aspirations of living with other people, but in my fantasy life I would live in a more communal aspect. But now I think you need a college degree to become a nun. I don't think they just take any old body anymore. So I think I would have a hard time becoming a nun now. I was just in France, and these abbeys were these people are growing lavender and having honeybees and they're singing and praying and stuff and I thought that doesn't seem like such a bad life.
Tift Merritt: No, that sounds pretty great. Can you give me the address? (Laughs) If I were your student, what advice would you give me?
Kiki Smith: For students, I just tell them to work, because you don't get from one place to another by thinking about it. You have to do the physical work, because the physical work is where things are revealed to you. When I was younger it was much harder to distinguish between thinking about something and the thing. To me, it's the journey between those two things where you actually accumulate that information. And then also looking at other people's work. Looking at what people have done in the past, because you can see that people, in some weird way, are working in continuums. And it's nice to know your history and it's nice to know that you're a part of that.
[Music: Tift Merritt]
David Gerlach: Many, many thanks to Tift Merritt for allowing us to bring this conversation to you. Check out her show at marfaspark.com. Tift is also working on her fifth album; it comes out October. It's called "Travelling Alone." Amy Drozdowska produced this Blank on Blank with me. Our sound logo comes to us from Jeffrey Alan Jones.

The South Bend Police Department pitched a new way to fight the gun violence that's plagued the city.
It's called the Shot Spotter System. It's a system that listens for the locations of gunfire then passes the information along to dispatchers in real-time.
The equipment will be spread out in different locations across the city.
This will give police the chance to talk to witnesses before they leave the scene and even possibly get the perpetrator.
"Well it gives them the information about the other 80 percent or so of gunfire that's either incorrectly reported or not reported at all," said Senior Vice President of ShotSpotter SST Gregg Rowland.
"I think for the city first of all this administration is serious about reducing gun violence and is making the commitment a part of a broader approach," said South Bend Police Chief Ron Teachman.
The project will be funded by some savings found in the police department's budget.
The idea was pitched to Public Works Thursday and they hope to have it approved Tuesday.
If passed..it could be installed in a couple of months.

PASCO, Wash. - Seniors in the Pasco School District are one step closer to being ready for life after school.
This week, organizers grouped students from different high schools for the 13th annual Enterprise Week. The kids had to build a company, make a business plan and create a prototype.
But while they got to experience the professional world, organizers say the simulation is more about teamwork.
"The goal of the program is for seniors to learn about team building and problem solving," said Chris Martinson, who organized the event, "and to think about their plans after high school."
Destanie Wants, the student CEO for the company "0ne Oh" said, "We got really really close, and that helped us bring our company together and I think we did a really good job working as a team."
Friday morning, students presented their work at a trade show at TRAC in Pasco. Teachers and business leaders judged the teams based on their success.

First, I don't see how people can complain that there is nothing new about a video that is being released for the first time! Where is the logic in that?
Now, to the actual review. The video for Vicarious is Tool's first entirely CG music video, running just a little longer than the length of the song of the same title on the 2006 album 10,000 Days [the extra length consists of ambient noise or silence, in terms of the audio track--the song has not been lengthened]. The video is very conceptual and well thought out by all counts, living up to Adam Jones' lofty legacy of directing and shaping Tool's surreal videos into deeply philosophical experiences. I won't take your time up here with any sort of analysis, but I will say that I recommend viewing the video repeatedly. For myself, the first time through I was aware of only a small fraction of what was going on in the video. Again, this is characteristic of most all Tool videos. One subtle thing that took me a long time to notice is the startling differences between the specters, and what their behavior is symbolic of. There are many such hidden gems in the video.
The extras on this DVD put the DVD singles for Parabola and Schism to shame. Foremost is "The Vicarious Documentary", directed by Camella Grace, documenting the creation of the video and revealing a lot of its hidden meanings. Some of the interviewees includes Alex Grey, Chet Zar, Kevin Willis, and many others, including much of the CG animation team from Hydraulx, who worked on the video. Alex Grey's comments are particularly revealing and it is great to see him make as long of an appearance as he does here. Pay attention to his comment about our culture.
Also included are two tracks of audio commentary set to the video, recorded by David Cross of Mr. Show fame (anyone remember where Puscifer got its start?). While they are worth not much more than a few good laughs, I have to say they are a step up in the comedy department from the commentaries on the previous two DVDs. That Cross goes to the liberty of naming the various characters in the video is pretty hilarious in itself. Take it all, of course, with a grain of salt.
Storyboards by Adam Jones and Alex Grey are included, as well as a brief segment on Alex and Allyson Grey's Chapel of Sacred Mirrors in New York City. Both are worth at least one watch; some of the shots of CoSM are particularly impressive, displaying some of Alex Grey's greatest art.
In all, I don't think anyone has a right to complain about this DVD. Tool never purported that live material was going to be included, so there was no reason to expect it. In addition, it is not right to think of this as paying ten dollars for "just a music video". Adam Jones' work really transcends the whole concept of a music video. It's more like a short film, set to a great song. If it were treated like "just a music video", it would be hard for Mr. Jones to get the kind of recognition he deserves, seeing edited cuts of the film on MTV every few hours. This kind of art doesn't deserve to be treated that way, and if you understand that and appreciate the work of Adam Jones and Tool, you have no reason not to pick this up.

This morning I was shocked to read in the Marine Corps Gazzette, "the "professional journal of the U.S. Marines,"
As of now, the Marine Corps hasn't been directed to integrate, but perhaps the Corps is anticipating the inevitable—DoD pressuring the Corps to comply with DACOWITS' agenda as the Army has already "rogered up" to full integration. Regardless of what the Army decides to do, it's critical to emphasize that we are not the Army; our operational speed and tempo, along with our overall mission as the Nation's amphibious force-in-readiness, are fundamentally different than that of our sister Service. By no means is this distinction intended as disrespectful to our incredible Army. My main point is simply to state that the Marine Corps and the Army are different; even if the Army ultimately does fully integrate all military occupational fields, that doesn't mean the Corps should follow suit.
Did you get that? "It's critical to emphasize that we are not the Army."
Nate Crum is hiding a smile; John Alberson and David, David, and Thomas Crum are laughing; Jim Hogue is suitably rebuked (although he may take some comfort from that bit about "our incredible Army").
But seriously, here's a female Marine officer... exposing the idiocy of the women in combat mania mowing down everything in its path across our Armed Forces. The title of her piece is "Get Over It! We Are Not All Created Equal!"--her words, not mine. Better to have put it "we are not all created the same." But in context, the meaning of her words is clear and quite right.
After two combat deployments, one Iraq and the other Afganistan, this poor woman is no longer able to bear children. She writes:
Five years later, I am physically not the woman I once was and my views have greatly changed on the possibility of women having successful long careers while serving in the infantry. I can say from firsthand experience in Iraq and Afghanistan, and not just emotion, that we haven't even begun to analyze and comprehend the gender-specific medical issues and overall physical toll continuous combat operations will have on females.
Anyhow, read the article and contact your senator or representative to disband that foolish group of ideologues harming our national defense called the Defense Advisory Committee on Women in the Service (DACOWITS).
(Thanks, Daniel M.)
I am hiding a smile, but its because I am at work and don't want everyone to look at me thinking I'm crazy (that's a daily failing of mine).
See also: The Overwhelming Maleness of Mass Homicide
The article points out that not just mass-murderers but practically all murderers are men and says we need to work on preventing it by recognizing that fact first and foremost.
I shudder to think of what the "solutions" would be... probably something like Andrew pointed out, I guess.
As a former Marine nothing makes me smile larger than hearing "We are not the Army."
Now Benjamin, I thought there was no such thing as a former Marine! :^) (Semper Fi from a guy whose asthma kept him out of the services)
OK, the thing that seriously strikes me is that almost no one signs their comments in the linked article. I would dare suggest that women in combat is not the biggest problem they're facing now, but rather that the political situation is such that apparently you can't speak your mind without risking something adverse.
That said, kudos to those who noted that if women want to go into combat, they've got to meet the men's physical requirements. It also seems, if this woman's experience is normative, that the old training methods from the Romans--20 mile hikes with packs and all--are needed now more than ever before.
One thing that struck me in the Captain's article was that the DACOWITS committee included no active-duty Marines (or any Marines at all, if I remember correctly) -- the people that would be affected by the committee's recommendations.
As one of the shifty-eyed enlisted swine (one of the less colorful terms of endearment our Drill Sergeant had for us; and, yes, I meant ~less~ colorful), I doubt the Marine Corps' "authenticity" if it is now accomplishing its mission on the backs of women.
A whole section of our Drill Sergeant's terms of endearment for us included synonyms, cognates, and lexical derivatives of words for women (women, ladies, sissies, girlies, and all the coarser and more profane terms in the same lexical universe). The power of these terms of endearment depended on the fact that we who were named with them were, in fact, biologically male. It wouldn't "work," you see, to call a true girl girlie, would it?
I shudder to think what the Drill Sergeants are calling the biologically female recruits at boot camp! Or, perhaps, the DACOWITS weenies have mandated that the Drill Sergeant shall now affirm his affection by calling the recruits Deplorable Persons or Disreputable Individuals.
That must be it. And the whole lot of them are Marines In Name Only, MINOs.
I just have to wonder what drives women to want to do this in the first place. I wonder how many fathers are pushing their teen-aged daughters to "be all that they can be" and making them feel that they have to push the gender limits to please him. They should be protecting their daughters (and our military) from this kind of foolishness.
This whole situation reminds me of Tom Sawyer. If you want someone to do your chores for you, make them think whitewashing the fence is a privilege; make them pay you for it.
If you're a lazy male who doesn't want to do the messy work of defending his country, convince women that it's their right to do your duty, that they should be clamoring to go to war in your place.
Although they didn't join the Marines, I know a couple of young women who enlisted in the Air Force and the Navy for what I suspect are the same reasons why many young men do. One reason was to obtain money for college and the ability to take college classes (paid by their branch of the service) while in the military. Another was that they were unsure about what they wanted to do with their lives. They had tried jobs requiring a high-school diploma and were less than challenged mentally and underwhelmed with the paychecks. They tried community college and/or a university and couldn't figure out what to major in. They both wanted to get married and have children but had no prospects. They hoped to travel and see more of the world than just the metro area they grew up in. They also hoped they might learn a marketable skill while in the military.
... but he was a Army draftee at the time of the Korean conflict who wasn't sent to Korea, but was assigned to a "model" base in West Germany used to train military units from many countries devastated after WWII. Because he thought he had been treated so well by the military he wanted to become career military and would have done so if our mom hadn't been dead-set against against it and he honored her wishes because he knew how difficult it would have been for her.
Having said that my dad told all of my siblings that nothing would have made him happier than if one or more of would of us had at least joined the military and considered a military career. For his three daughters, I' m sure he was talking about the Air Force or the Navy, but never asked. He also asked me to consider ROTC because I was studying for a B.S. degree and getting the scholarship would have given me many more options for college than he and mom would have been able to afford.
To be sure, all of his children graduated from high school from 1972 - 1978, with my brother graduating from high school at a time when being sent to Vietnam wasn't likely. And my dad was hardly what you would call an egalitarian or a feminist. There were many fewer combat support or combat MOS assignment open to women, so he had little reason to believe his daughters would be in harm's way.
My dad is now is in the presence of our Lord in heaven, but if I could ask him why he would considered having one or of my sisters joining the military, I think the last thing he would have said would have been, "To be all that you can be."
I have a [step] sister who enlisted in the Marines while still a minor, without parental consent, etc. Unfortunately that is allowed, despite that in no other situation would a minor's signature and consent be accepted as constituting a binding contract; the gov/mil excuse is that they just don't take them until they turn 18, but when they do they aren't permitted to change their minds, nor is a new signature or agreement required, so of course this means it's permitting minors to form contracts outside parental consent.
That said, from rather extraordinary experience and insight from people involved, the idea that the military is any longer for defense of the country (which is usually said inclusive of the semantic component 'the people') as opposed to an elite few and their governing interests, promotions of their ideologies, and maintenance of power, seems quaint Sir Huck, which I don't say as an insult but with sadness, and the Constitutional illiteracy (coupled with about as much care for that document and the philosophies and respects it represents) among the forces, much like the Biblical illiteracy of so-called evangelicals, only ensures a tighter grip of those few and the enslavement by threat of force for the rest.
I saw Full Metal Jacket many years ago; the actor who played the drill sergeant had been a Marine Drill Instructor in real life, meaning much of the invective was ad libbed. Was your time in training as bad as that?
Anyone who thinks that is the entirety of what is going on doesn't understand. And spoken like someone accustomed to being protected by others.

I'm ashamed to admit I snooped in my hostess's artsy bathroom cabinet at a poetry "gathering" in her loft. It was skincare central and I was fascinated at all her lotions and potions beautifully organized, some displayed and much more within her exquisite and wildly painted wooden cabinet. She had a pyramid section of 7 of these Roc tubs. Since she has beautiful skin and wears minimal makeup I knew I had to purchase this thing myself. HOLY MOTHER OF GOD was I surprised. These are holy grail of drugstore skincare in my opinion. I have spent small fortunes on professional skincare ( but no needles or knives) you need to check this out. Others reviewers have adequately described the two sided pads. They are just wonderful. It looked as if I had just recovered from pro chemical peel without the swollen redness. It's very gentle but effective. After just one week of incorporating these disks into my cleansing routine 1 time per day at night, I bought out the remaining drugstore stash at my local midtown Duane Reade. Highly recommend.
5 out of 6 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I've used these disks for a week and am very pleased with the results. I didn't have the overnight results that others have mentioned, but my skin definitely looks and feels clearer and smoother than it did a week ago. That's immediate enough for me!
I use a whole disk in the morning, washing my face, neck, and upper arms, and half a disk at night just for my face. My skin gets very irritated with Olay Regenerist products, so I'm always cautious with similar cleansers and moisturizers, but I've experienced no dryness or irritation with these. The price is very reasonable for a month or more supply per container. The container, itself, is sturdy and the lid appears to seal very well, keeping the disks from drying out. It would be especially nice if RoC would sell bagged "refill" disks (like Cottonelle wipes or silmilar) to reduce waste.
2 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
Yes, I am going to buy these over and over. I'm 44 and my daughter is 14. At night I cut the disk in half and we stand in the bathroom and have a scrub. I'm dry skinned and getting a few wrinkles, she's oily in the t-zone and has monthly break-outs. Amazingly, these disks work for both of us. Her breakouts have minimized, areas that were congested, like her chin, have begun to clear (3 weeks). The dryness I've been experiencing on my forehead - gone! My skin looks different, and I feel like my retinol soaks in better at night. I've even had a few people my age ask me what I'm doing. I highly recommend!

This product will be a staple in my skincare routine as long as they don't change the formula, I saw a review of this on Youtube and I decided to give it a shot as I don't believe in spending a arm and a leg for facial cleansers, so got myself a jar to try from Walmart because if it didn't work for my skin then I would return it, however so far so good and I can say I really do like these little discs I cut a pad in two so I can use it twice a day if I choose to, I do prefer to use it at night to get my face super clean for bed. Its two sided like the other reviewers said the exfoliating side is not too rough for normal skin and it really does great job of taking off the makeup,dirt and grime of a long day, I haven't experienced any skin reactions to this product, so yay for my breakout prone combo skin.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I got these as a gifts with purchase & immediately bought them when I ran out. They are great for washing in the mornin. ( I prefer Olay Facial Clothes to remove make up.)
They have just enough abrasion, but not so much as to be rough on the skin.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I love roc products, but I can't use them exclusively since I still need something to prevent acne. Ugh. Anyway, these disks are kind of huge; I can do my whole face, neck and chest with one. Might need to cut them in half like others do.
These are the freaking amaze-balls super awesome perfect exfoliation product. I mean, this is the holy grail, right here. The price is right, they WORK. My skin looks better than it ever EVER has -- when I use them regularly. For me, maybe 2-3 times a week is enough. The other days I can cleanse with regular old Neutrogena Oil free acne wash or whatever I'm into at the moment. My skin is very acne prone, and this actually is helping to prevent break outs. It's also done WONDERS in improving the texture of my skin-- it looks more fine and smooth, almost like a pre-adolescent's baby face!! I went for some weeks neglecting to use this product and started wondering what the heck I wasn't doing right, because I just kept looking crappier and crappier, and then I remembered these. ONE week back on, I look fantastic again. AMAZING.
3 out of 3 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I had the opportunity to sample the Daily Resurfacing Disks (my mother had purchased them and let me use a couple to see if I liked them). They easily took off all of my makeup and didn't upset my sensitive skin, plus they're nice for a gentle exfoliation. I was expecting it to be like an Oxypad experience, and thankfully it's nothing like that. They're great to keep in the shower since they aren't pre-moistened. You just use them on your wet skin and it gets rid of impurities gently and effectively. Easily removed even my waterproof mascara and eyeliner.
3 out of 3 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I decided to buy these on a whim since they were on sale and with my regular exfoliation resume it's getting a bit pricey. WRONG IDEA. My skin is very sensitive and I had little acne bumps on my face that werent there before using the pads. Definitely wouldnt buy again, they are now being repurposed as a body exfoliator where I'm not so sensitive.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
When I purchased these I was a little disappointed as I thought they were going to be like face wipes, I didn't realise that you needed to rinse afterwards. I keep them in the shower now to wash my face after a long day.
I love using these disks, great for removing makeup and they are gentle enough to use around the eye area, smooth side of course. Removes all traces of makeup and mascara without stinging my eyes.
The rough side is does a wonderful job of exfoliating and stimulating my skin, I can definitely say my skin looks brighter and firmer.
If I wear full makeup I find one disk is plenty for cleaning my skin but on light days I like to cut the disk in half. There is a lot of product on each disk and I don't always need to use a full one.
I will certainly keep using these disks because they have made a difference.
2 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I really like these for a nice exfoliation. They remind me of a buff-puff, but not as scratchy. After using these I get a nice glow from the rev up in circulation. They take off makeup as well.

Today's weather forecast: Dry Like Toast
Mother of invention: When Kendall Conrad was pregnant with her first daughter, she knit nonstop. With daughter number two, she turned to working with leather. Craving a bag with the whipstitching of her Jack Rogers sandals, she took a sketch to a local saddle maker. The bag turned out so well, Conrad designed another. Soon she had a full collection. Bullheaded: The first line was called Tauro, a nod to her father Barnaby Conrad's interlude as a toreador when he was vice consul to Spain during World War II. Kendall went to bullfights on family vacations. "I remember the piping on the botas [leather wine sacks] and the tassles on the toreadors' epaulets," she says. Skin deep: Those details are incorporated in her eponymous label, which includes shoulder bags, weekenders, clutches, cuffs, belts, and iPad cases, all made from luxurious leathers and displayed in her Abbot Kinney shop. Conrad uses only skins—alligator, crocodile, and snake—that are by-products of the food industry. Finally, some baggage to feel good about. » 1121 Abbot Kinney Blvd., Venice, 310-399-1333 or kendallconraddesign.com.

Upcoming UK event suggests that Will Wright's hugely anticipated remains on course for launch this year...
To describe Spore as 'highly-anticipated' is far from an overstatement. The latest project from SimCity & The Sims creator Will Wright, Spore's procedural create-a-species gameplay has drawn plenty of superlatives ever since it was first unveiled nearly three years ago.
Whilst an exact release date has yet to be announced by publisher Electronic Arts, CEO John Riccitello did confirm back in June last year that the game was scheduled for launch in the 'early part of fiscal 2009', which begins on April 1st this year.
Since then, EA has been quiet on the subject, although the fact that an event is due to take place in London in mid-February suggests that Spore remains on track for release within months.
Expect additional information on the game to gestate and evolve in the coming weeks.

Thom Hartmann Actually Claims Bush Invaded Iraq ... to Privatize Social Security
If you heard a loved one fulminate like this, you'd be morally obligated to initiate a medical, substance abuse or psychiatric intervention.
Liberal radio host Thom Hartmann unleased the latest moonbat conspiracy theory on his radio show Monday in response to a caller disparaging government (audio) --
CALLER: You know, the government is the only reason we're at war. Government is the only situation, the only ...
HARTMANN: No, I would submit to you that the reason we're at war is because big oil companies bought Ronald Reagan, they bought his election, they brought him into office, the big oil companies. He took the solar panels off the roof of the White House, he said we're not going to have a national energy policy any more. We're going to keep on buying our oil from the Middle East. He goes, those big oil companies are making a pile of money on that. And at the time we didn't have the domestic reserves. We had, you know, we had, we weren't doing fracking or gas or whatever, and -- bingo! (promo break)
And you went to war in the Middle East because you had George W. Bush as president who back a year and a half before he was elected said he was going to go to war in Iraq 'cause it would give him the power to privatize Social Security for his bankster buddies!
Well, this explains so much. All those feverish claims I've heard over the years that Reagan stole the '80 election by delaying release of America hostages in Iran until after he took office. Turns out this had nothing to do with Reagan getting elected -- it was those running-dog oil barons who closed the deal. The same people, Hartmann's logic dictates, who compelled closet neo-con Barack Obama to intervene in the oil-rich Arab nation of Libya.
We should consider ourselves fortunate that Hartmann was able to decipher this nefarious plot by Bush to privatize Social Security by distracting us with a protracted war on the other side of the world. Brilliant! Just as the US attacking al Qaeda and the Taliban was nothing more than a Bush ruse to push through the prescription drug benefit for Medicare. Hey, if you want to make an omelette ...
As for those solar panels that Reagan so unceremoniously removed from the White House -- three decades later, solar still can't turn a profit.
What a shock that Hartmann's rants also air on the state-funded Russia Today (RT) network, Moscow's MSNBC, and Hartmann refuses to disclose how much he's paid by his kleptocrat soulmates yearning for the golden years of the gulag.

He has it backwards. Going to war in Iraq made it more difficult for the President to pass through Social Security reforms, since because the talk on the media was so bogged down in argument over the war, he couldn't mount an effective campaign to get the public on his side

What makes Dexter fascinating, creepy, and charming is that he is a serial killer with a conscious, a killer's code that allows him to punish evil do-ers to protect the innocent. We question our own morality (sanity?) by rooting for this deeply disturbed person. It is Michael C.

Dewey Basics
Many public libraries and some other library systems use Dewey Decimal numbers to classify or arrange books and other items in their collections. This call number is like an address which identifies the shelf location of the item. The Shatford Library traditionally has arranged its collections using the Dewey system, but is now transitioning to the Library of Congress System. You will find the newer books and the textbook collection arranged by LC numbers and the older circulating books and reference books arranged by Dewey numbers. To find the call number and library location use the WorldShare search box below.
Dewey: Ten Main Classes
000 Computer science, information & general works
100 Philosophy & psychology
200 Religion
300 Social sciences
400 Language
500 Science
600 Technology
700 Arts & recreation
800 Literature
900 History & geography
These broad subject disciplines are further divided into the hundred divisions. Numbers are placed after a decimal point to further identify material more specifically by subject. Examples of dewey numbers:
900 represents History & geography.
- 940 represents general history of Europe.
- 940.1 represents Middle ages 476 - 1453.
300 represents the Social Sciences
- 320 represents Political Science (politics and government)
- 324 The Political Process
- 324.2 Political parties
- 324.273 Parties of the United States
- 324.2736 Democratic party
You can see from the above examples that as the number is extended the area of study becomes more specific or has a narrower focus.
The Author Number
The letter and number which follows the Dewey call number is used to place the books in author order . Sometimes a book does not have a main author and the first word in the title is used instead. If for example the library receives a book about the psychology of dreams and it is written by an author with the last name Robbins, its number would be 154.63 R 1.
After that, if the library purchased another book about the psychology of dreams and the authors' name also began with "R" it would receive the number 154.63 R 2. Sometimes multiple books by the same author and dealing with the same subject are purchased. If a second book by Robbins about the psychology of dreams were to be purchased, its number would be 154.63 R 1-2.

Career Center advisers are encouraging students to make the most of the holiday break. The time off is a great chance to network and put plans into action, they say. Students are urged to self-evaluate, review their options, update their resumes and join the Washington University Alumni Association LinkedIn group.
Working with the simplest of materials — sticks, branches and saplings — North Carolina-based artist Patrick Dougherty creates playful architectural forms that suggest nests, primitive shelters and fairy-tale castles. Dougherty enlisted dozens of students to help construct Double or Nothing, a new commission for the Sam Fox School of Design & Visual Arts.

Lights, Camera, Marni-------
The team at Marni loves a video—check out their animated takes on the pre-fall '09 and '10 collections, if you don't believe us—so no surprise that for the label's Spring '11 men's collection, they set the cameras rolling. We've got an exclusive peek at the behind-the-scenes video, lensed at the Spring '11 lookbook shoot and starring model Tomek Szczukiecki. The flick screened tonight at the collection's presentation in Milan, but if you didn't happen to be there, here's your first peep. It also includes a glimpse at the new Marni T-shirts—hence its title, 4×3 T-shirts. Twelve shirts take some time to get on and off, which perhaps explains the slightly slower-than-expected pacing. Still, we can think of worse ways to spend ten minutes than gazing at a male model—and, of course, some Marni.
PLUS: Check back with us soon for the full Spring '11 menswear collection and Tim Blanks' review.

It doesn't seem like it would be a whole lot of fun at the moment to rehash what happened during the Pittsburgh Steelers' 39-26 loss to the New England Patriots on Sunday night. So instead, I'm taking a tour around the National Football League to recap what went down and what it all means to the Steelers as the 2010 season begins its second half in earnest.
* Why not start with the New York Giants, a team that was also 6-2 heading into Week 10? Nobody in their right mind would ever claim that the visiting Dallas Cowboys are a more complete team than the Giants. But in this strange and wacky league where anything and everything can and will happen each week, the Cowboys outclassed the Giants resoundingly with the creaky Jon Kitna under center. Just goes to show you how volatile the league is on a weekly basis, as well as how momentum and small mental edges can mean the difference between looking like a team that's quit and a team that looks inspired and talented enough to beat anybody. Not only that, it's a reminder that every team, contenders included, has a disastrous game or two each season.
* Wow, the Cleveland Browns come this close to pulling off the trifecta of shocking wins since losing to the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 6. First, the Browns knocked off the defending champion Saints, then thrash the Patriots, only to fall in the final minute of overtime this past Sunday to the New York Jets. The Browns looked to be in business too in the extra period when wide receiver Chansi Stuckey took the ball inside the Jets 35 yard line on a catch and run. Oh no, he fumbles! The Jets ultimately won it with a 39-yard catch and run to the endzone by Santonio Holmes, the overtime hero for New York for the second consecutive week. The Browns let a tough one get away, but then again, three missed field goals by the Jets, including one that would have prevented overtime, made this puppy a bit more dramatic than it should have been. Nevertheless, the Browns continue to impress, with Colt McCoy still yet to turn the ball over.
* I know the Detroit Lions are playing an entertaining brand of football, and it's obvious they're doing things the right way under new head coach Jim Schwarz who learned a thing or two about building a winning program during his long tenure coordinating Jeff Fisher's defenses in Tennessee. Still, just do not ever bet on them away from Ford Field. The Lions extended their road losing streak to 25 games by losing 16-14 to the previously winless Buffalo Bills. What's remarkable is that Detroit also has a road losing skid of 24 games earlier last decade (during the '03-'04 seasons). They're on the right track, but there's still a gazillion miles before they sleep.
* There are 19 teams in first place or within a single game of first place after this week's action. Washington, who I believe will win tonight, can make it 20 with a W. The NFL has to be giddy with excitement about just how suspenseful the final seven weeks of the season are going to be. I don't have the numbers handy, but my guess is there haven't been many, if any at all, seasons in the past two decades where every last team has two or more losses through the first 9 games. There simply are no dominant front-runners this year.
* I've heard people try to project the playoff records in the AFC and NFC this year. Prior to this weekend, people argued that 12 might not be enough in the AFC for one unlucky team. Hogwash. First of all, the winner of the AFC West isn't going to finish with more than 11 wins, and really it's more likely that the division is won with 10 or even 9 games. It's highly unlikely that both the Steelers and the Ravens both get to 12 either, and we can write off Tennessee's chances after their recent loss. They'd need to run the table to get to 12 wins. I'll go to the other extreme in fact and say that no more than three teams finish with 12 wins in the entire AFC, with even just two being a possibility.
As for the NFC, my guess is that there will be a laundry list of teams trying to get to 9-7 for the second wild card spot. Just wait and see how crazy the playoff tiebreaker scenarios get in the NFC in the final weeks of the year.
* For the second week in a row, the Bengals dig themselves an insurmountable hole in the game's opening quarter. Last week against the Steelers, it was a fumble on the opening kickoff and a quick 10 points for the Steelers. This week, Cincy turns it over twice in :14 seconds in the later stages of the 1st quarter and the Bengals fall behind by a quick 10 once more.They continue to fight hard until the final whistle, but that's got to be an increasingly demoralized group. Keep an eye on them to see if they continue playing hard for their pride in the final months. They've got a number of games against playoff contenders in the weeks to come.
* At 3-6, San Francisco is alive and kicking in the NFC West. Sad, but oh so true. They're just two games behind Seattle at this point, and the moment Matt Hasselbeck gets injured seriously in the upcoming weeks (the day is coming, just a matter of when), Seattle's chances are done.
* Know how crazy this year's been? A Hail Mary game-winner by the Jacksonville Jaguars only seems partially extraordinary to me. Hey, it's the Houston Texans. That's what they do - find ways to lose games. And as Bill Simmons so presciently predicted, Gus Johnson was on the call, meaning a wild ending was destined to happen.

Is it against the law in Maryland to skip Kindergarten?
My daughter was born in September 2003. She took an exam to enter Kindergarten this fall and passed. She is not even five yet and is already at 1st grade level math and Reading. I strongly feel academically, emotionally, and physically (90 Percentile in height) she should be in 1st grade. I feel if she goes to Kindergarten this coming fall, she will be bored. We recently moved to Maryland and I mostly rely on my Aunt (She has a six year old son) to navigate through the educational system here. She is the one who told me about the early entrance exam for kindergarten. When i mentioned to her that i would like try to get my daughter into first grade, My aunt told me its against Maryland Law. Is this true? Is there a law or a rule against Skipping Kindergarten in Maryland? I can supplement my daughter's education at home, but I can€™t carry the whole burden. I feel if she attends Kindergarten this year, I will be doing all the teaching and her school time will be playtime for her. So my question is, is it against Maryland law or rules to allow children to skip Kindergarten? If there's no such rule, then what are the steps i need to take to get her into first grade this school year?In Topics: Kindergarten readiness

Beyonce is showing off her bikini body in a new video.
The 31-year-old singer appears in a bikini in a video to promote her upcoming tour dates in Brazil. The video can be seen below.
The clip, which contains no spoken dialogue and features the popular bossa nova song "The Girl from Ipanema," is in black and white and features a vintage style. Tour dates and other text in the video is written in Portuguese, the official language of Brazil.
The video's Portuguese title, "Beyonce Te Convida Para a Sua Proxima Aventura," roughly translates to "Beyonce Invites You For Your Next Adventure." The video also show scenic views of Brazil and in one shot, Beyonce writes the word "Brazil" in the sand while at the beach.
The video appears to have been shot before the singer chopped off her hair for a pixie 'do earlier this month. Beginning on Sept. 8, her tour, The Mrs. Carter Show World Tour, is set to stop in cities like Fortaleza, Sao Paulo and Rio De Janeiro during its time in Brazil (check out a full list of tour dates on her website).
Earlier this year, the singer appeared clad in several bikinis in ads and videos for H&M's summer collection. (Check out PHOTOS of Beyonce's H&M bikini ads here.)

EGREMONT, Mass. - In order to conduct a full review of the Egremont Police Department, in Berkshire County, and its officers the town has hired a private firm to investigate to combat claims of railroading the Chief.
It was several weeks ago that officers from the Egremont Police Department unanimously voted 'no confidence' in Police Chief Reena Bucknell's leadership.
The initial two-page complaint against Bucknell coming from another officer on the force, Jeremy Pilone, who says he was promised by Bucknell that he would become the next police chief.
In a memo to Town Personnel Director Bill Tighe, Pilone writes "Never in my twenty years in law enforcement have I seen a supervisor go to such great lengths to 'divide and conquer' an agency."
Tighe says Pomeroy Resources will now launch a top-to-bottom investigation of the accusations against Bucknell, who has served as the Police Chief in Egremont for the past 15 years, and the Department's policies and practices. "Basically there were promises that were not kept," Tighe told News10.
Bucknell is currently suspended with pay. Depending on the outcome of the investigation, she could be reinstated or lose her position.
Pilone's complaint also stated that the chief had created a "hostile work environment."
Pilone, the officer who filed the initial complaint against Bucknell is the officer in charge of the small police force as the three-week long investigation gets underway.
The investigation will officially start Monday, according to Tighe.

Agri-Biz & Commodities - Tea
Tea stocks see revival of interest
Kohinoor Mandal
Kolkata , Feb. 8
THE tea sector, shunned by the stock market for long, seems to be finally brewing a hot cup, thanks to scrips that are rapidly gathering steam.
While leading counters such as Tata Tea, Jayshree Tea, Williamson Tea Assam and McLeod Russel have already started to record large volumes, some of the smaller names are looking up as well, investment circles point out in a reference to stocks such as Goodricke and Apeejay.
The market's interest in the sector stems from a combination of factors - a sudden demand for tea at auction houses that have almost run right, a drought in Kenya that may just about turn into a boon for Indian exports, and above all, higher price realisations by domestic producers. The result: a potential addition to the average tea company's bottomline.
More than the export market, the industry is raking in the moolah from domestic consumers. The Indian Tea Association, the apex industry body, has already announced that the per capita consumption of tea has increased to 733 grams from 630 grams in 1996-97.
"The market has discounted the industry for some time. But several things point to a possible re-rating, at least for the leading players," said Mr Raamdeo Agrawal, MD, Motilal Oswal Securities.
As for the dominant names that are currently making news in the market, Tata Tea and Harrisons Malayalam seem to be cases in point.
The former, a Nifty constituent, has been rising steadily for the past one year. On Wednesday, it opened at Rs 904 and appreciated intra-day to Rs 922. The 52-week high and low for the counter are Rs 971 and Rs 500 respectively.
The RPG group company, Harrisons Malayalam , which is actually a more diversified venture, too has lately assumed greater significance, given the sizeable volumes it is commanding every day. On Wednesday too it saw large number of trades on the NSE.
According to Mr Deepak Khaitan, Vice-Chairman , McLeod Russel, "Tea is about the only major commodity that has not done so well on the bourses, especially when compared to sugar. This may well change now".
McLeod Russel, incidentally, is the top player in the sector, courtesy its 70 million kg production capacity. The stock is buzzing - on Wednesday, it crossed the Rs 100-mark for the first time this year.
As things stand, a host of small players, many with only a few gardens, make up the rear.
These are typically low-volume counters that not many investors are aware of. Examples include Diana Tea, Ledo Tea and Norben Tea.
Mr Nilesh Shah, President, Kotak Mahindra Mutual Fund , is of the view that Indian tea is a potential gainer because of the country's competitive advantages on this front. "It has to be seen how the sector leverages on its inherent strengths in the days ahead. The market will want to have significant earnings visibility before any serious realignment takes place," he noted.
According to Mr P.T. Siganporia, ITA Chairman and Tata Tea MD, tea stocks piled up from 2001 to 2003. In the next two years the inventories decreased.
"The current stock positive is similar to what it was in 1999, when the average tea prices sky-rocketed. Buoyancy in the prices would come this year," he said.

Houston Mayor Bill White sent letters to the chairs and members of the city's three pension fund boards. The letters outline the mayor's reasoning for asking the boardmembers to divest of any funds that may provide money to the Sudanese government. White says that government uses its share of energy production revenues to directly and indirectly finance military action against its own citizens.
"We can send a clear signal to the identified firms who have direct dealings with the Sudanese government, whose funds fund Sudanese military activities of the militias, and who have disregarded calls by the international community to adopt policies which would recognize their contribution to this heinous international crime."
White says there are between 20 and 30 public international companies, most of them based in China and India, that do business with Sudan. He's asked the pension fund managers to check the city's portfolios and divest from any companies that have connections with Sudan. Since 2003, at least 200,000 Sudanese have been killed in the government-driven genocide. Laurie Johnson, Houston Public Radio News.

MMAJunkie with the quote worthy goodness from Dana White:
"I was saying [last week] I wish this was a five-round fight, Nogueira and Couture, and there's been other fights, too, that I've wished were five rounds," White said prior to UFC 102. "But I'm a purist, man. Title fights are five rounds. When you fight for the title, it's five rounds."
Of course this has to be seen as a major disappointment to MMA fans who want to see big main events without a title on the line get more time but a fight like Nogueira/Couture has to change White's mind right? Wrong:
"You know how many times I've been ringside and said, 'God, I wish this was a five-round fight,'" White said after UFC 102. "I did it [on Sunday]. (UFC heavuweight champion) Brock (Lesnar) and I were watching the fight together, and we both said we wish that fight with Nogueira and Couture was five rounds.
"But, I think that's what's so special about fighting for the title. You fight for the title, and it's a five-round fight; you don't, it's a three-round fight.
I've always been very strict about the terms under which I'm willing to accept a 5 round non-title fight. My personal stance is only in "numbered event" (UFC 101, 102, etc) main event fights. This way you retain the "special" feeling of a five round fight as the vast majority of contests continue to operate as three rounders. Despite what anyone in the community wants to see it is quite clear that we won't be seeing a five round non-title fight in the UFC for a while. Even Keith Kizer of the NSAC said that the UFC has already told the commission that they're not interested in making a change, so don't hold your breath.
