Amid hair-snipping stylists, licensed aesthetician Nikki Shahan attends to epidermal needs. Nikki employs custom skin masks, powerful chemical peels, ultrasonic treatments, and grandmotherly cheek pinches to rejuvenate skin of all types.
Equipped with an all-natural paste refined throughout the ages, New Beginnings Skin Care & Massage's therapists abolish unwanted hair from a variety of bodily geography with the ancient Egyptian method of body sugaring. After entrapping hair from root to tip in the sticky glaze, therapists gently lift hair out in its natural direction, freeing surfaces from fuzzy patches or worn out Dukakis '88 bumper stickers. Less painful than waxing, sugary remedies can be applied anywhere on the body, including the eyebrows ($15+), the bikini line ($25+), or the chest and abs ($65). Sugar treatments begin to deplete follicles after several sessions, often forcing threads to disappear completely before starting new lives as mysterious strangers in hardscrabble mountain towns.
Led by a stylist with more than two decades of experience, m Studio's expert aestheticians trim tresses and whisk away unwanted hair with high-quality products and able shearsmanship. In the hands of careful waxing technicians, Cirepil Blue wax, imported from France and formulated to forefend irritation, encapsulates undesirable hairs, preparing beach-bound bodies for unbeatable skinny-dipping relay-race times.
Old Hot Springs Resort sources natural mineral water from 35,000 feet below the Earth's surface to fill pools and baths for a health-enriching experience. The springs carry a lengthy history, including use by settlers back in 1849 on their way to the gold rush, and before then by Washoe Indians perfecting their synchronized diving routines. The water teems with healthy minerals such as sulfate to strengthen skin and hair, calcium to fortify bones, and potassium to aid muscle function.
Adults splash and swim in aquamarine outdoor pools kept at 98 degrees in the summer and 102 degrees in the winter, or sunbathe on the surrounding patio. Meanwhile, private baths, with water from 95 to 110 degrees, proffer an intimate place for couples to canoodle and spies to exchange confidential microfiche. Staffers drain and refill pools every day, barring the use of chemicals or city water to maintain the mineral water's purity. After soaking, patrons can deepen their relaxation with a hot-stone massage, held in a hushed room lit with petite lights, or snag refreshments from an onsite restaurant and bar.
After Andrea Felesina earned her master's degree and started a career as a registered nurse, she couldn't help but wonder what it would be like to take a holistic approach to health. Her curiosity led her to the Bodhi Tree School of Massage, where she acquired national certification in massage therapy. With her newfound ability to blend eastern and western techniques, Andrea opened Sierra Nevada Holistic Services inside a ranch-style cottage. In addition to offering therapeutic-massage services, Andrea also leads yoga nidra meditation sessions, drawing on training she received from yogi Amrit Desai. Yoga nidra combines light stretching, breathwork, and guided imagery to completely relax the body and banish the stress of wondering where the keys to the bomb-squad van are. Andrea also concocts her own aromatherapeutic blends to ease muscle aches, indigestion, and depression with help from fellow practitioner Sue Fritz, who brings 40 years of medical and holistic training to the table.
Once it makes its way in through the large window draped in elegant, red cloth, sunlight refracts off the many mirrors lining the earth-toned walls, illuminating the staffers as they wield scissors, nail brushes, or specialized facial ingredients. At hairstyling stations, certified Redken color specialists dye strands with flattering hues, and Great Lengths hair-extension experts elongate locks without inconspicuously feeding them into a moving escalator. Nail techs in a private suite draw from shelves of OPI polish during mani-pedis designed to gussy up natural or acrylic nails. The resident aesthetician, meanwhile, can perform waxing and skincare services and highlight features with permanent-makeup applications. For special events, such as weddings and dances, the entire team eagerly joins forces to help clients look their best.

3 cups mixed salad greens
1/2 bottle Saucy Mama Sesame Ginger Salad Dressing
Place sliced cucumbers in a colander and place colander over a bowl or in sink. Sprinkle salt over cucumbers and toss. Allow to cucumbers to drain for 1/2 hour. Rinse and pat dry cucumber slices. Toss with cilantro, 1/2 cup peanuts, salad greens and dressing in a large bowl. Serve with remaking peanuts sprinkled on top.

Game the maps a name, i.e. Summoner's Rift, Twisted Treeline, Crystal Scar, etc.
Looking for someone that could possibly do a layout of the maps for me.
How to attatch thumbnails?
Also, im a good sketcher but I have never known how to put my stuff onto the web for others to review, how to?
Go to advanced and click the little paper clip in the top left hand corner. Click attach files. After you pick the ones you want come back to the post and click the paper clip again. then add them where you want.
As for posting them on the web you have to go through a third party site like deviantart.com or photobucket.com.
Pretty much. That's what I do. I kinda hate it but I'm not in a situation to buy a scanner. :[
A link for the full story can now be found under The Uprising section. Only chapter one is finished though, the rest in notes form.
This is an interesting idea. I have heard a lot of people asking for a 3v3v3, but I haven't yet heard of the defend the citadel/gather resources ideas. I don't know if I can give a real review, since I honestly don't know much about map balance and the overall game lore, but I'll give it a bump at least, and a thumbs up for the sheer amount of work producing this must have taken.
Other question: Can I call you Waffle?
Proof I'm not entirely awake yet. I read that multiple times going 'Who is this person and why are they trying to call me? o.O' Then I noticed it said Waffle. Thank you, but I do not want to be a Waffle. :[
Guess I'll work on the maps a bit more for a full description, gameplay mechanisms and such.
Edit: I did just that. Just gave an overview on a possible scenario for each map.
Love Poisonous
10/10 for effort........ 'Cause I'm not interested enough in the lore of LoL to read it! XD
Love, you have made this a sad, sad day. *shakes head*
In other, more happier news! I have added a list of possible items that can be added in the History section.

Volunteers serve breakfast benefiting Blessings in a Backpack
Updated On: Sep 18 2013 08:18:44 PM EDT
Volunteers at Ascension Catholic School in Louisville cooked up a special breakfast to benefit Blessings in a Backpack.
Hundreds of students and parents helped raise money for kids across the country who don't always have a home-cooked meal waiting for them after school.
Long before most of their students are awake, Jim Grider and other dedicated volunteers, were busy in the kitchen.
Grider is the custodian at Ascension Catholic School.
He plans, prepares and pays for a big breakfast a few times a year to raise money for a good cause. This time around it's Blessings in a Backpack.
"It's $80 to feed an elementary child for one full year during the school year, so 38 weeks," said Kevin Beam with Blessings in a Backpack.
While it may not be evident at the school, 69 percent of students in the U.S. qualify for free or reduced lunch at school.
And 60,000 students benefit from Blessings in a Backpack, which actually started in Louisville.
"So on Fridays when they leave school, they get a backpack with food in it to get them through until Monday," said Beam.
Grider hopes to collect 100 backpacks and raise as much money as he can.
"I love these kids and I love the things I do for them, its just me," said Grider.
On the menu Wednesday morning was eggs, bacon and biscuits and gravy, a pretty enticing way to get kids and their parents to come in. The kids said helping others is a plus, too.
And the kids get a pizza party if they meet their goal. Grider said he is pretty proud either way.
"It makes me feel real good because I know we're making money for the cause," said Grider.
Grider began his breakfast tradition a few years ago, raising money for victims of Haiti's earthquakes.

16.04.05 - By The Brown Bomber: In a pre-fight interview before what appears to be a simple warm-up match against Alberto Ontiveros, Diego Morales says that his time has come. With a record of 34 and 2, with 25 ko's, and the pedigree of being the younger brother to boxing phenom Erik Morales, former WBC Youth Bantamweight Champion Diego certainly looks the part. But is he prepared for the more experienced Veeraphol?
BB - How do you feel for tomorrow's match fight, and what do you predict you'll do to Alberto Ontiveros?
Diego Morales: - Thanks to my preparation and time training, I feel really good. I feel that I will be able to take him out in a 4th round KO.
BB: After a disappointing 6th round disqualification in 1999 against Adonis Rivas, I was happy to see you had a rematch in 2004 that led to a victory. Do you plan on challenging Fernando Velardez to a rematch in order to clear up your earlier loss to him in 2002?
Diego Morales: What was in the past is in the past. Right now I want to focus in on the future. What I want right now is a world-class title match. Veeraphol is my next challenge, and I want to fight him in June. It's time and I'm ready.
BB: Why not move up into Featherweight, and challenge a real threat like Victor Polo?
Diego Morales: Who the hell is Victor Polo, and why would I want to go to featherweight? I'm a bantamweight!
BB: But your opponent tomorrow night Alberto Ontiveros has fought in both featherweight and bantamweight, and today you weighed in at 126 lbs.
Diego Morales: "No", I'm staying in the bantamweight class and I want to fight Veeraphol for the WBC title! Because I'm concentrating on June's match-up for the WBC title, tomorrow's fight against Alberto Ontiveros is just a warm-up. I'm in the camp just as much as my brother Erik, and we actually train in the same camp until about 2 weeks before a match. "I am
BB: Where did you get the nickname "Pelucho" (Stuffed Animal)?
Diego Morales: From my brother Erik, when we were growing up. I used to always ask for a stuffed animal on top of a dresser, and he would tease me, and the name stuck.
Post fight update
After 10 disappointing rounds, Diego left a lot to be criticized. The ugly win by Diego was marred by continual missed opportunities, and full forced power shots with little to no effect on Ontiveros. All this was culminated with a bicycling section by Diego that could put a punch stat computer into screen saver mode during the tenth.
Question: Is Diego Morales ready for a WBC title match against Veeraphol? With April 14th's performance behind us, the answer is, "not by a long shot."

I love being active. My favorite ways to stay in shape are playing softball and running. I started my love of running during cross country. I also enjoy performing and speaking in front of audiences, as I participated in plays, musicals, and forensics during high school. My favorite subjects in high school have always been math and science classes, thus my interest in engineering. I also really like reading; my favorite type of book is adventure.
Caitlyn's Thank You Note
I'd like to thank the donors to this wonderful scholarship. I truly appreciate it and will put it to good use funding my education. Thank you again!

Installed a Chris King GXP version Bottom Bracket and am trying to install a XX1 crankset.
All washers in place:
- 4 black washers on drive-side
- Spring washer on drive-side
- Silver washer on non-drive side
- Spacer over spindle end on non-drive side
When I tighten the 8mm bolt, the bolt seems tightened and there is still considerable play. Any ideas what I'm doing wrong? I've scoured the threads here and only seem to find cases of non-GXP King BBs where the solution was to get the fit kit.

Cafe Racer TV Sneak Peek: Part 3
In our last post before the airing of our first episode on Cafe Racer TV, we wanted to share a preview of how our custom Triumph Thruxton Motorcycle did on road tests against a stock bike.
We started our day early at the world famous Rock Store.
Eric Bostrom arrived and got to chat bikes with the British Customs team before the shoot.
As filming began, Ben Bostrom jumped onto our custom bike first.
Ben took off with the British Customs motorcycle while Eric was still putting on his helmet.
Eric chased Ben, who was on our custom bike, through the canyon.
The Cafe Racer TV crew were able to get great shots of the Boz Bros taking turns.
While on the stock Thruxton, Eric continued to chase Ben throughout the canyon.
Eric and Ben turn back up into the canyon.
Eric takes the lead! Ben gave Eric the chance to test ride the British Customs custom Thruxton.
We all met back up at the Rock Store to discuss what they thought of our custom bike. We could tell from their faces they really enjoyed the improved performance and ride.
Even off camera, Eric and Ben couldn't stop talking shop with the BC Team.
Cars coming! We had to do a few re-shoots as cars kept coming up into the canyon.
Putting our custom Triumph Thruxton away. Did you notice we painted it white and silver since the bike build?

Hey there collective intelligence,
I have an oppurtunity to get a really good deal on an HP NC4400, and
as I'm looking for a new laptop, I'm thinking of grabbing it. It's got
1.5 Gigs of RAM, an SATA 5400RPM hard drive, and a 2GHz Centrino Duo.
Any experiences with this sound codec? It seems to be supported with
the snd-intel-hda alsa module, but I can't find any info about
performance. I think that it's used in a lot of the newer HP and IBM
laptops. What distinguishes an "HD" sound card? One of the reasons
I've been looking to replace my current laptop is that the sound card
and video card seem to compete for control of whichever bus they're
on, so I get lots of xruns with any latency less than about 60ms.
This computer won't be used for my heavy multitrack recording
sessions, I mostly want it for synth and audio processing, maybe also
generating visuals in a live performance environment, so the low
latency is pretty critical when I've got audio running through the
computer for processing.
Thanks a lot!
Thanks a lot,

Justice Department updates probe into Albuquerque police-involved shootings
Updated On: Jan 08 2014 08:00:16 AM MST
Families of people killed during run-ins with Albuquerque police officers were given an update on a federal probe into the police department on Tuesday.
VIDEO: DOJ edges closer to completing Albuquerque police probe
A lesson on patience is what Kenneth Ellis Sr. said he came away with after meeting with U.S. Department of Justice officials.
"It's been a long four years," he said.
In 2010 Ellis' 25-year-old son, Kenneth, an army veteran who suffered from post-traumatic stress disorder, was killed when he was shot by an Albuquerque police detective.
That incident, along with 33 other police-involved shootings since 2010, prompted some to accuse the police department of using excessive force.
The Department of Justice launched an investigation in 2012.
Tuesday, victims, their loved ones and community leaders became the first to hear how the probe is progressing.
"It was vague," said Andrew Lipman, who attended the meeting.
"I was not happy, to be honest with you," said Silvia Dellangelo, another attendee.
Theresa James was there, as well. The father of her two children was shot and killed by officers in a SWAT standoff in 2007.
"They assured us they are working on all the info we have given them," she said.
James said Justice Department officials said they would release a letter in the near future with the findings of their investigation, but no exact date was given.
Andrew Lipman, who chairs the Police Oversight Task Force, said it's a good sign that the Justice Department is combing through all of the evidence.
"They talked to people who were victims, witness, they've gathered a lot of info. That's part of the reason they're taking a long time," Lipman said.
"I've just got all my hopes and prayers with DOJ as far bringing justice to my son and all other families who have lost loved ones," Ellis said.

I don't really have a favorite team or player. But a favorite sport? That one's easy. Basketball.
As a kid, I would shoot in the driveway until my fingertips split open. As an adult, I've played so many pickup games that my knee ligaments recently asked for a trial separation.
More than anything, I love watching the elite, the pro game, a fact I now underline in bold by admitting I even enjoy NBA second quarters, when Lakers legends like Mike Penberthy were born.
So, why exactly, in the league's labor dispute, do I find myself rooting not for the players or the owners but for the lockout itself? The lockout? Why am I hoping this work stoppage has stronger legs than the ones currently holding up the Statue of Liberty?
And, just as importantly, am I alone in thinking this way? I can't be. I'm a sportswriter, for crying out loud, I've never come up with an original thought in my life.
There must be others out there just like me, feeling the same emptiness, the same bitterness. Maybe you're one of those others.
After weeks of contemplation, I believe I've identified the source of my seemingly backward allegiance. I'm disgusted. Simple as that.
I'm disgusted that, at a time when the NBA's popularity is healthy, coming off a stirring postseason during which the Dallas Mavericks claimed victory over all that's evil, the gumption is trumping the game. Again.
These guys have to be smarter than this, right? They have to realize they aren't the NFL, that Bucks at Hornets not happening hardly is comparable to Packers at Saints not happening, that, measured against the NFL's appeal, the entire NBA is the Charlotte Bobcats.
The longer the world spins without the NBA, the less interested the world will be in the NBA. The world will move on. The world won't even notice the NBA is missing until well into the season, by which we mean Game 5 of the Finals.
I'm hurt. I feel jilted. I want the NBA to call just so I can look to see who's calling, refuse to answer and then choose not to return the message. I want the NBA to know I'm now ignoring it.
Petty? Perhaps, but how else am I supposed to feel when I'm the one who has been wronged? That's it! I feel like I've been dumped. I've been dumped by the owners and the players, who care only about themselves. So, go lockout, go!
As an openly confessed devotee — a die-hard who today is dying quite hard — this should scare the stuffing out of the NBA.
If I'm rooting for the lockout, what is the average fan rooting for? The death penalty? And the casual fan? He or she must be rooting for something even more outrageous, like maybe the Winnipeg Jets.
More and more the fans can not relate to the athletes they so admire. They share the same planet, but they live in different worlds.

text: Not worth it Lexapro was added to my Wellbutrin (along with Trileptal, Lamictal, and Topamax for my severe bipolar), to treat a break through depressive episode. I started at the 20 mg dose. My first treat was severe nausea which lasted all day. I swicted my dose to bed time but the nausea, altough less, still hung around during the day. While it did seem to lift some of the awful dreadfulness within a week, the side effects were not worth it. Lexapro completely destroyed my libido, other SSRIs and medicatons have had various sexual side effects but none this severe. I also developed jaw clenching and grinding my teeth at night leading to tooth pain and a trip to the dentist. My psychiatrist told me to stop the Lexapro after just one week and within a week afterward I was beginning to become hypomanic.

Well soon i'll be getting this board so right now I like 5 fins. Oh, and when you buy a superbrand board, all the fins come free.
Nothing in this world is "free" bro. Except for high fives.
I love my quad and it is a squash tail which helps out getting more vertical. I never take it on trips to good waves doesn't hold as right in hollow waves but if I had one choice living around here I would surf my quad fish.
Switched to bigger trailer fins...using ea futures v2 foil on the fronts and qd2 4.15. Love the drive I get with this setup while still providing that skatey feeling.

6'9 with V2 Hayden's QD2 4.15s and a 6'6 with V2 EA Blackstix with Rasta rears.
I might be biased though. 5'9 with scarfini FX4s next to a 9'1" with Controllers, different boards for different waves.

SFotD: 'Seraph' is a Powerful Tragedy From John Cameron Mitchell, Dash Shaw and Sigur RosFeatures By Scott Beggs on October 1, 2012 | (2) Comments
Why Watch? Animation in service of a love story about intolerance, guilt and violent redemption, Seraph comes as part of Sigur Ros' Valtari Mystery Film Project – a challenge to a baker's dozen of filmmakers to make a short using the music from the band's new album. The result here from John Cameron Mitchell and Dash Shaw (whose animation work was in Rabbit Hole) is astonishing in its childlike visuals and moving in the story it tells.
Wordlessly, a young man grows up questioning his sexual attractions with a father who uses his fists more than his compassion. Brutality begets brutality, and the young man's life spins without an anchor toward the inevitable conclusion at the end of a pool cue. Fortunately and unfortunately, his actions aren't the end of the road.
Hat tip to IndieWire for featuring this excellent short.
What will it cost you? Only 9 minutes.
Skip work. Watch more short films.

Anybody else tired of taking pre-reqs? - page 2
I know that we need them in order to get into the nursing program but some of them seem SOOOOOO useless! I have a Dialogue class and all we do is read this wierd book that the professor wrote himself, nobody understands it and we... Read More
- 0Nov 14, '12 by perioddramaPre-reqs can be tedious, but they help us all to become well-rounded individuals, and eventually, nurses.
To make it less tedious, do not think the whole class as "useless," but try to find a little nugget within that class that makes it interesting and fun. At least, that was what I did to make taking the pre-reqs more enjoyable.
Keep your goal in sight: all the pre-reqs leads to nursing school.
Good luck!
- 0Nov 14, '12 by calinursestudent818I feel your pain and I haven't even started taking my prereqs yet! But for both the schools I am considering, they both have about 8 prereqs that I have to take....it will probably take about a year-year and a half to get through them all with my budget limitations right now. If I had the money and time now, I would just do all the prereqs in a few months. The sciences, math, english & Pysch I get for Nursing but everything else seems not related. I think it makes sense to have prereqs that are related to what you are studying, does that make sense? Everything else just seems like useless time wasting filler.
- 0Nov 14, '12 by calinursestudent818BTW I already have a BA in another field and I felt the same way when it came to my with general ed classes. Again I understand some of them and why they were important to take but the majority seemed like just a bs reason to keep you there longer and get more of your money. My 4 year education turned into a 5 year because my college also changed a few general ed requirements towards end of my Jr year, so it ended up adding another semester to my schooling. Grrr!
- 2Nov 14, '12 by SopranoKrisI'm sooooooo burned out with school right now! I know we need to have these courses completed before starting nursing school, because they are foundational. However, I just want to start the nursing!!!! I feel like I'm jumping through hoops, trying to get every T crossed and every I dotted. UGH!
OK, rant over!
At least I'm DONE with pre-reqs at the end of this semester
- 1Nov 15, '12 by traumanurse2b?I am in my last semester of pre-req's/finishing my Associate's. Its taken me 5 years to complete due to marrying a military guy, moving, and having to take time off to work because we couldn't afford my classes at the time. Let me tell you, I am sooooo over this Associate's degree! I'm starting my BSN courses in January and I couldn't be more ready!!!!
- 1Nov 15, '12 by ginna121I am only in my 2nd semester in prereqs and I definately want to be done. I just try to focus my attention on getting through each class and people keep telling me how fast the time will go and how I will be done in no time.....I just can't wait!!!!
- 2Nov 16, '12 by britney705Yep I feel exactly the same way I just want nursing classes already!!!!!!!!!!
- 0Nov 16, '12 by britthohenbrinkJust tell yourself that the pre- requesites are a stepping stone towards becoming a nurse. I know that they can seem useless and tiring at time but think.... when you've completed them you get to start nursing school!!!!
Also, remember that the reward is worth the sacrifice.
- 1Nov 18, '12 by beckyboo1I'm totally burned out on College Algebra. Any other class, I can study til I understand it. Not the same story with algebra. I'll be soooooooooo happy when I can finally pass it with a C!
- 1Nov 19, '12 by bbmtnbb"I go to school in Texas, and you're required to take 2 semesters of government, 2 of history, 2 of English comp, an art class, etc. to get any bachelors degree in this state... so yeah I can understand your sentiment. I didn't mind psych, sociology, or human growth/development though. After 3 years of taking pre-reqs I'm just so ready to actually start the nursing program. "
Well, these are called General Education" Required for a BA/BS and even an AA/AS degree, so these are not nursing pre-reqs, just a college education not just in Texas but everywhere. As for Anatomy, physiology, and microbiology--those ARE nursing. You NEED to know those to understand your job. Sociology helps you to understand people, their cultures and is helpful in being able to communicate with others of other races, cultures and socioeconomic diversity. These courses ARE nursing. I hope everyone understands this. A nurse has a large responsibility to care for the whole person that is their patient and this will make you well rounded and capable. Please hang in there and think of this while you work toward your degree. Thinking of how this will apply to yoru career and make you a better person will help.
What I am tired of is NOT getting into my needed prereqs and 'wasting' another semester. I really need my chem class and as of right now only 4 spots left and I cannot register until tomorrow at midnight and a second. Fingers crossed I get in!!!

We stuck with the recommended colours and font and are so glad we did! The shipping was exceptionally fast and reliable. The paper and printing was gorgeous and everything arrived in one piece. All our guests were thrilled with the invitations we chose and were pleasently surprised to see the theme carried through. We also purchased the ceremony programs and thank you cards to match! We couldn't have asked for anything more, this was well worth it having them shipped all the way to Ireland!"
"This card was just beautiful. The paper was thick and the lettering was just perfect. I ordered this as one of my samples and we chose to go with this one. I can not wait to see the final product. I know our invitations are going to be frame worthy!!"

Indians hit 7 HRs, crush Phillies
All those Cleveland injuries are giving Ryan Raburn a chance to hurt the Indians' opponents.
Raburn homered twice for the second straight game and the Indians hit seven home runs in all, routing the Philadelphia Phillies 14-2 Tuesday night.
The Indians set a major league high this season for homers in a game. Cleveland, which struggled at the plate for most of April, has won three in a row, outscoring opponents 33-5 in that span.
Raburn, who has seen increased playing time because of injuries to outfielders Michael Bourn and Nick Swisher, hit a two-run homer in the fifth inning and a solo drive in the seventh.
It was the sixth two-homer game of his career, including Monday's performance against Kansas City.
''Right now everything is clicking for me,'' Raburn said. ''I'm trying to ride this out as long as I can.''
Philadelphia had won three in a row before the Indians teed off on former Cy Young Award winner Roy Halladay (2-3). Cleveland's first five homers were two-run shots. Carlos Santana, Mark Reynolds and Lonnie Chisenhall homered off Halladay, then Raburn and Michael Brantley homered off Chad Durbin.
POWER RANKINGSSee if your favorite team is pointed in the right direction this week.
Raburn and Drew Stubbs hit back-to-back shots in the seventh against Raul Valdes. The Indians fell one homer short of the franchise record of eight, set in 1997 and matched in 2004.
''The best thing about that game was we got through it, I guess,'' Phillies manager Charlie Manuel said. ''Every ball they hit was hard. What can you say? I don't know how you stop them on nights like tonight.''
Halladay allowed eight runs and nine hits in 3 2-3 innings. Coming off three strong outings, he gave up homers in the first to Santana and Reynolds in the first. Chisenhall homered in the fourth and Asdrubal Cabrera's two-run single finished Halladay.
''He's always one pitch away from getting out of an inning,'' Indians manager Terry Francona said. ''His stuff was pretty good. He always has that movement. We stayed on him and got the barrel to a lot of balls.''
Given a 12-1 lead in the fifth, Zach McAllister (2-3) coasted, giving up two runs in seven innings. Delmon Young, activated from the disabled list before the game, hit a solo homer in his first at-bat for Philadelphia in the second inning.
''Any pitcher will tell you he's happy to have an offense like that,'' McAllister said.
TAKE ME OUTBaseball diamonds are a girl's best friend. Check out MLB's FOXiest fans and tweet us your photo.
Raburn became the first Indians player with consecutive multihomer games since Travis Hafner accomplished the feat in 2004. He's 9 for 17 with seven RBIs in his last four games.
''He's a good hitter,'' Francona said. ''This has been a great five days for him.''
Raburn and Stubbs each had three hits and scored three times.
While Francona enjoyed watching baseballs fly out of the park, his highlight came in the eighth inning when 42-year-old Jason Giambi used a headfirst slide to beat out an infield hit with the Indians leading by 12 runs.
''If you're a young player and after you watch that and you don't run a ball out, you should be humiliated,'' Francona said. ''I was so damn excited ... that's a guy who cares.''
Said Giambi: ''I felt like Mr. Potato Head. My body parts were all over the field. I don't care how old you are, when you smell a hit, you want a hit.''
Young, who will likely play right field Wednesday night, was hit by a pitch in the fifth and singled in the sixth. Chase Utley hit a solo homer in the sixth.
COVERING THE BASESThe season is rolling along. Here are photos to get you started.
The interleague game featured managers who had guided both teams.
Manuel went 220-190 with the Indians from 2000-2002, while Francona was 285-363 with Philadelphia from 1997-2000.
Swisher missed the game with a sore left shoulder, and Francona said he might also sit out Wednesday night. Bourn, who hasn't played since April 14 when he cut his right index finger, was eligible to come off the 15-day disabled list but will be sidelined for at least a few more days.
Swisher, Bourn and Reynolds were key offseason signings for the Indians in the offseason. Reynolds finished April with eight home runs and 22 RBIs.
NOTES: The Indians have played a major league-low nine home games this year. They opened a nine-game homestand. ... Ryan Howard extended his hitting streak to 11 games for the Phillies with a sixth-inning double. ... The teams wrap up their two-game interleague series Wednesday as Philadelphia LHP Cliff Lee (2-1) faces the Indians for the first time since Cleveland traded him to the Phillies during the 2009 season. ''It doesn't feel like it's been that long since I played here,'' said Lee, who won the AL Cy Young in 2008. ''Tomorrow is just another outing, but it's going to be interesting and it's going to be neat.'' ... RHP Trevor Bauer (0-1) will be called up from Triple-A Columbus to start for the Indians. He lost his only start of the season against Tampa Bay on April 6, walking seven and allowing three runs in five innings. ... Phillies OF Ben Revere (sore quadriceps) returned from a four-game absence and batted ninth, going hitless in three at-bats.

Australian active clays are the result of age-old volcanic activity, rich in valuable minerals. One of the best skin cleansers available, used in a mask they draw out toxins like a magnet - chemicals that have been absorbed into the top layers of your skin through exposure to everyday pollution. Face or body masks stimulate circulation, remove dead skin cells, absorb excess oil and other impurities, and generally improve skin colour and tone, depending on the type of clay used. When a mask is applied, warmth is created beneath the mask: the skin begins to sweat and as a result toxins, waste products and dirt are discharged, cleansing the pores.
Aroma Queen's Boosted Australian Clay is premixed with 50% Mineral-Lite and 50% active clay. Australian Mineral-lite Ultrafine, inc Zeolite, is a natural active hydrous alumino-silicate, high in trace elements, that comes from volcanic mineral ore. Zeolites are the only known negatively charged minerals on earth, naturally attracting and absorbing positively charged pollutants. Mixed with other clays, Mineral-Lite amplifies the qualities of the natural ingredients it is blended with, improving cationic exchange and absorption rates as well as giving your mask a creamier consistency and making it easier to remove after it has dried.
If your skin is dry or sensitive, do not allow the mask to completely dry - spritz or sponge with water or hydrosol when you feel it beginning to dry out.
After 15 minutes moisten the mask and rinse thoroughly with warm water. Pat dry, spritz with floral water if desired. Avoid using cream or oil for an hour or two to allow your skin to breathe. Used once a week (or twice for particularly oily or acne-prone skin), you will immediately feel the difference.
* Instead of using water with your clay mix, try replacing it with some Aroma Queen Aroma-Spritzer for a heavenly, aromatic experience. Our Aroma-Spritzers contain hydrosols (or floral waters - a product of the steam distillation of essential oils), and a blend of exotic essential oils that are not only beneficial for the skin, they also smell wonderful. Available in blends to suit all skin types.
* Try placing a slice of cucumber over each eye while you relax as the clay dries.
* Add different natural ingredients to your mask:
Sweet Almond Oil - regulates skin moisture. For very dry skin
Aloe Vera - healing and rejuvenating. Suitable for sensitive skin
Honey - add a tablespoon. Nutritive and smoothing
Jojoba oil - healing, regulates skin moisture
Wheatgerm Oil - for mature or dry skin
Witch hazel - astringent, soothes irritated skin
Yoghurt - add a teaspoon. For acne, sensitive, oily skin
* Should your mask mixture become too runny, simply add more clay until it reaches the right consistency.
BLUE: Washed Blue organic superfine clay is used in the treatment of acne and infected skin
GREEN: Australian Soft Green clay (inc Bentonite) is particularly suited to oily or acne-prone skin
YELLOW: Australian Golden Yellow clay (inc Kaolin) is excellent for all skin types. The perfect pick-me-up
PINK: Australian Pastel Pink clay (inc Kaolin & Iron Oxides) cleanses, firms and tones the skin, especially with repeated use. Great as a body mask for the bust, neck, upper arms
WHITE: Australian Pure White, or Ivory clay (inc Kaolin) is the gentlest and least absorbent of all the clays
Add a touch of red or black for improved results:
RED *: Deep Red clay (inc Iron Oxide) is particularly good for dehydrated and mature skin
BLACK *: Midnight Black organic superfine clay nourishes with its iron and oxygen properties
* blend red or black with other lighter colours at a maximum ratio of 10-20% to avoid staining
All clay colours are available in our AROMA QUEEN EBAY STORE.

Renzo Piano Becomes Italian Senator
Pritzker Prize winning architect Renzo Piano has been named a senator for life by Italian President Giorgio Napolitano, giving him the right to vote in the Parliament's Upper House. Napolitano also appointed three others to the position, including Claudio Abbado (an accomplished conductor), Elena Cattaneo (a biologist specializing in stem cell research), and Carlo Rubbia (a Nobel Prize winning particle physicist).
In a statement, the president said that he is sure that all four '"will make a special contribution to their extremely significant fields," noting that the positions were allocated "in absolute independence of any party political considerations" in wake of the Senate's current tension surrounding former President Silvio Berlusconi.

Green travellers are now heading to an area of unspoilt rainforest in Peru after the creation of an airstrip made it easier to get to.
A UNESCO World Heritage Site, Manu National Park is the natural habitat of giant otters, spider monkeys, hawk-eagles and a large number of parrots and parakeets. The area, which contains a large number of trees and waterfalls, is in the Manu Biosphere Reserve.
And the area is set to become a popular travel destination in Peru after the opening of the Boca Manu airstrip means it is now less than a two hour flight away from Cusco.
In the past anyone wanting to take a trip to the national park had to walk in from outside its boundaries each day as there was no accommodation in the area. But now tourists can choose to stay at the Romero Rainforest Lodge, which has recently opened its doors to visitors and features eight bungalows with thatched roofs next to the Manu River.
There is now also the chance to go on a trail around the park with a group looking for wildlife including the black caiman, a reptile which resembles the crocodile, and wild boar known as peccaries. The tours, which are led by a biologist, include a stay at the lodge and are run by Crees, a non-profit-making research body based at Manu Learning Centre.

Varsana sunset
Submitted by Bhurijana dasa
Hare Krsna.
Varsana is sweetened by the childhood pastimes of Srimati Radharani. It is located within the Vrindaban forest, which extends 32 miles, from the town of Vrindaban to Nanda-grama and Varsana.
Sri Prabhodananda Sarasvati remains ever-fixed in his glorification of the land of Vrindaban:
What nonsense! What nonsense! What misfortune! Even though he is a 'great man' he still does not like blissful Vrndavana!
If even the 'greatest' person refuses to take shelter of blissful Vrndavana, he should be called the lowest of men.
I do not love blissfully sweet Vrndavana. What is the good of my knowledge, devotion, or renunciation?
Pathetic! Pathetic are my scholarship, noble birth, good character, and splendid array of virtues! Because in this life I do not love Vrndavana, I am a living corpse.
Because I have not renounced everything and taken shelter of Vrndavana, I am more pitiful than those pitied by the pitiful and I am more foolish than the greatest fool.
Lord Caitanya's feet are far away. Powerful Kali has appeared. How will love for Krsna be attained without love for Vrndavana?
Let hundreds of arrows of harsh words pierce my heart. Let hundreds and hundreds of kicks fall on my head. Let hundreds of days pass where I am unable to get even the smallest meal. Remembering at every moment the fair and dark glories that are my life's treasure, and whose forms are two oceans of sweet nectar, I shall happily live in Vrndavana.
Birth after birth you enjoyed the loving attentions of a dear wife who offered you flower garlands, sandalwood paste and a host of other gifts. In some births your pride knew no limit, and in some births you had no fame. In some births you were a great scholar learned in many books, and in some births folly would not leave you. Today you should be displeased with all these things. Give them all up and simply worship Vrndavana to attain transcendental bliss.
If fools see defects in this inconceivably glorious earthly Vrndavana, where everything is effulgent, pure, spiritual, and full of nectar, and where all living entities swim in a nectar ocean of pure love for Krsna, the farther shore of which even the three Vedas cannot see, then what can the wise, who have the eyes to see, say to enlighten them?
If one worships Vrndavana, which has endless beauty, endless sweetness, endless splendour, endless nectar, love for Krsna, endless kindness, and generosity and endless glory, then his good fortune is also endless.
