Arthritis became a catalyst for positive change
Someone once said that when you hit 40, something is just bound to start hurting. Chalk it up to wear and tear—and a dash of genetics. Arthritis is, as one of my patients said, a humbling little reminder that it's time to listen to your body. But how can you work around the discomfort and decreased mobility and still maintain wellness? My patient Janice figured out a way.
"I'm angry about my knee. Why did this happen to me?" Janice cried. A homemaker and writer, Janice, 44, had injured her knee skiing 5 years earlier, and after surgery, the knee became infected. She endured prolonged medical and physical therapy. And arthritis.
In the end, Janice's knee hurt if she walked too fast or used the stairs. High heels were history and so were the step aerobics classes she'd loved. Now she felt depressed and hopeless. She lacked energy, was sedentary and unfit, and at 5'4" and 180 lb, had become obese. In a word, Janice was miserable. She wanted her life back.
Janice's expectations never included a chronic physical disability. At first, she tried dieting. But, without her exercise, weight loss was slow and frustrating. She tried fitness classes at the gym, but couldn't keep up and reinjured her knee. Meanwhile, her weight kept climbing, fueled by her decreasing physical activity, her stress-induced overeating, and her family's history of obesity. Her heart was in the right place. Her knee wasn't.

A biopsy is the removal of a sample of tissue or cells. A doctor will examine the sample under a microscope.
A biopsy may be taken from any part of the body.
Reasons for Procedure
A biopsy is used to see if the cells from a sample of tissue are abnormal. A biopsy is done to rule out cancer and/or to specify its type and level of aggressiveness.
Biopsies are sometimes taken to find out the cause of an unexplained:
- Infection
- Swelling
- Growth
Common interpretations of biopsies include:
- Normal tissue, no abnormalities
- Irritated tissue
- Not normal, but difficult to interpret
- Not normal, not cancerous, but a precancerous condition
- Cancer
- Inconclusive
Possible Complications
Problems from the procedure are rare, but all procedures have some risk. Your doctor will review potential problems, like:
- Excessive bleeding
- Pain
- Infection
- Scarring
- Results that are difficult to interpret
may increase the risk of complications.
Be sure to discuss these risks with your doctor before the surgery.
What to Expect
Prior to Procedure
Talk to your doctor about your medication. You may be asked to stop taking some medications up to one week before the procedure such as:
- Aspirin or other nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, such as ibuprofen or naproxen
- Blood thinners, such as warfarin
- Anti-platelets, such as clopidogrel
Avoid eating or drinking after midnight if you are going to have general anesthesia.
The type of anesthesia used depends on what you are having biopsied:
- General anesthesia is given through an IV to block pain and keep you asleep through the procedure.
- Local anesthesia is given as an injection to numb the area being operated on.
Description of the Procedure
For a simple biopsy, the area will be cleaned. A numbing medication will be injected into the area so that you will not feel pain. A piece of tissue will then be removed. The opening may need to be closed.
The procedure that your doctor uses will depend on the type of biopsy that you are having. For example:
- Needle biopsy —cells are removed using a thin needle
- Aspiration biopsy —cells are drawn out with a hollow needle that uses suction
- Core needle biopsy —a sample of tissue is removed using a hollow core needle that has a special cutting edge
- Vacuum-assisted biopsy —a number of samples of tissue are taken using a special rotating probe
- Endoscopic biopsy —the area is viewed with a long, thin tube that has a lighted camera on one end; a tool is passed through the tube to take the biopsy sample
- Incisional biopsy —a portion of a mass is removed by cutting it out
- Excisional biopsy —a mass is completely removed, such as a breast lump
- Punch biopsy —a core of skin is removed with a special biopsy tool
- Skin biopsy —a small piece of skin is cut off with a scalpel
- Shave biopsy —top layers of skin are shaved off with a special blade
- Bone marrow biopsy —a long needle is inserted into the bone marrow to collect cells

How Long Will It Take?
A simple biopsy usually takes a few minutes. A biopsy involving surgery takes longer.
How Much Will It Hurt?
You may have pain in the area where the sample was removed. Ask your doctor about medication to help with the pain.
Average Hospital Stay
You will be able to go home after a simple biopsy. If your biopsy involved surgery, you may need to stay in the hospital for 1-2 days.
Post-procedure Care
Be sure to follow your doctor's
- Take pain medication as directed by your doctor.
- Ask your doctor when you should change the bandages.
- Ask your doctor when it is safe to shower, bathe, or soak in water.
- If you have stitches, have them removed when instructed.
Call Your Doctor
Contact your doctor if any of the following occur:
- Redness, swelling, increasing pain, excessive bleeding, or discharge from the biopsy site
- Signs of infection, including fever and chills
- Pain that you cannot control with the medication you have been given
- New or worsening symptoms
If you think you have an emergency, call for medical help right away.

Placemakers Academy
Recently, a City Repair project in NE Portland caused two neighbors to meet for the first time — and they had been living across the street from each other for 20 years! City Repair has been supporting neighbors and their projects for over ten years, and we frequently find that near neighbors do not even know each other's names. This is born out by statistics nationwide.
Let's face it — knowing your neighbor is becoming a lost art!
Placemakers Academy is a new project that aims to better empower the communities we work with by developing and sharing educational activities and models that further the understanding of human-scale placemaking. We want our knowledge to be active and community supported.
We are bringing what we learned out to the rest of the world. We'd love to work with you to get this started elsewhere.
What we do
* Educational tours of Placemaking Sites, by appointment
* Link student groups with volunteer opportunities
* Answer questions and offer support by e-mail to email@example.com

What is the conflict between quantum mechanics and relativity theory that I have heard about?
According to relativity, the influence of an event can be felt only if you can see the event, and the influence should be felt only after it has been seen. The essential point being that light travels faster than anything else. In quantum mechanics, it can be shown that influence of an event may be felt before a light signal could have reached you from the same event. This is the main problem. In quantum mechanics, you have to specify initial state everywhere and everything in the world effects the evolution of a system. In relativity, only the events within the lightcone effect the evolution.

About iLuminate - Off Broadway
iLuminate follows the fantastical journey of Jacob, a talented young artist who struggles to connect with the real world. He takes comfort in his magical paintbrush, which grants him the power to turn the characters of his imagination into living, breathing creatures. When a jealous townsperson steals the paintbrush and turns his endearing creations into horrifying monsters, Jacob must face this danger without the help of his miraculous instrument. He fights to save his town and friends, even as he knows that the paintbrush which brought him so much joy is now a weapon in the hands of a malevolent villain bent on destruction.

I live in zone 6 in WV. I need some information on
how to plant four o'clock bulbs. Do I need to do anything with them before I plant them in the ground? |

You just need to wait for warmer weather :-) It is too early to plant these in your climate. Wait until close to the last frost date or you can start them in pots indoors slightly earlier, then move them outdoors after all danger of frost has passed. They also grow extremely rapidly from seed, sometimes to the point of being garden pests. But very pretty and relatively easy to control pests :-) |
Here is a link that might be useful: growing 4 o'clocks

Thank you for your response, gardengal. Do you think I will have to dig up the bulbs every year the way a person does dahlia roots? |
- Posted by gardengal48 PNW zone 8 (My Page) on Sat, Jan 17, 09 at 9:07
Yes, in cold zones (below 8), it is recommended to dig and store over winter much the same as you would dahlias. And save some seed as well. These plants grow very easiy and rapidly from seed, so you'll have a bit of insurance should anything happen to the tubers, like you forget about them :-) |
The tubers on these get really huge & can be hard to dig. I'm zone 6 & have a few that have been in ground for about 5 years now & come back fine. It is fairly close to the house & protected from the weather some. I'm curious if it makes it this year though, it is the coldest it has been in years, got down to -4 deg a couple of nights. |

I live in zone 7 for the past few years and i have never had to dig up my four o'clocks. They die down every year and come right back the next. I grew up in zone 8 and my mom never dug hers up either. It may be that they reseeded themselves. Good luck! |

Last tea I tried yesterday, but how could I not compare? I could tell this one was special as soon as the dry leaves hit the bottom my warm mug, creammmy! I started with a flash steep on this and am glad I did. While most of the oolongs I tried yesterday benefited from higher temperatures and longer steep times, I feel this did better with short ones.
I was rewarded with a heavenly experience both in taste and aroma. I don't think I can compare this to anything. I've seen other's review milk oolongs and say they are more like milk candies or more like butter or cream than milk. I've never had milk candies and couldn't be bothered with differentiating my dairy last night, because I was blissed out from this tea, but I will say it was a sweet milkiness that left a cool tingle on first the back of my tongue, gradually working its way forward with each sip. I remember calling down to the husband last night "oh dear, I think this is going to be something I crave!"
Unfortunately I did add more time to the second steep and it fell short of the first. I hoped the third would be better, but it wasn't until I returned to short steeps that I got that special something. Perhaps it would be fine with one longer steep, but I used all my leaves and was all tea-ed out by that time last night anyway. I just revived this this afternoon and it tastes like a good green oolong with a bit more fullness and coolness in the mouth. I will definitely pursue more Jin Xuan! Thank you so very much Fong Mong Tea for the introduction!

What is PSHE? The subject has in various forms been part of the national curriculum for schools in England since 2000.
At its simplest, it is "about helping young people interpret the world around them," explains Joe Hayman, who was appointed chief executive of the PSHE Association at the end of 2012.
"The subject has been around in various different forms for a long time, whether it was personal development or social education," he explains.
Hayman says there was a movement towards schools strengthening their role in supporting both academic and non-academic development of children, "to support their wellbeing and provide a broad curriculum that included preparation for life".
"It is not something schools do in isolation but in partnership with communities and families," he adds.
Hayman comes into the job at a time when PSHE may be falling down the agenda as schools juggle a range of external pressures on teaching time.
"There has been some evidence to suggest that is the case," he explains.
"There was a survey in 2011 that suggested a number of subjects including PSHE were at risk in a number of schools.
"My priority is to keep PSHE high on the agenda for schools and the people who are determining the priorities for schools.
"Schools have a responsibility for student wellbeing and we have got to keep banging the drum about the important issues that PSHE helps schools to address every day."
Those issues include ones that make headlines every day such as the influence of the internet on young people, the safeguarding of children, grooming, body image, drugs and bullying.
Hayman says that while there is "an issue about what comes out of the Department for Education's priorities, schools also have to look at what is happening in the playground and in the classroom".
He adds: "We are concerned that while schools have freedom and flexibility about where their priorities are, and clearly they will be different for each school, we have to ensure a consistent standard of support and quality in PSHE."
School governors have some flexibility around how they teach sex and sexuality.
Hayman says PSHE teaching should be "age-appropriate and based on each school's unique circumstances, developed in partnership between parents, governors, staff and expert organisations like ourselves".
The recent debate over gay marriage has generated claims that schools, including faith schools, will be "forced" to teach about same-sex marriage.
Culture Secretary Maria Miller has said teachers will "continue to be able to describe their own belief that marriage is between a man and a woman while, importantly, acknowledging that there can also be same-sex marriages".
Hayman says whether on sex and relationships education or any other element of the PSHE curriculum, "we consider it a school's duty to ensure that pupils are presented with balanced factual information and take an approach which takes into account a pupil's development and his or her family structure and religious and cultural background".
"That is why we promote an approach to PSHE education is broad-ranging and often requires schools to deal with sensitive or contentious issues," he explains.
"We promote an approach in which schools provide a safe and supportive learning environment where children and young people can develop the confidence to ask questions, challenge the information they are offered and contribute their own views and opinions – in short, to make up their own minds.
"We also seek to help schools to create an environment in which diversity is celebrated and where children are not discriminated against or bullied because of their religious/cultural background or family structure, or their own sexuality or religious beliefs."
A more pressing concern for teachers and parents alike is the influence of the internet on young people.
Hayman argues that PSHE has a unique role to play in helping them navigate this sometime scary new world.
"The internet provides huge opportunities for young people, but it is also information that comes through largely unfiltered and they need a large amount of support in terms of interpreting that information and making judgements for themselves.
"Issues of self-esteem and body image occur when young people are exposed to a lot of digitally enhanced images. It is really important that children get support to understand what is real and what is not."
A similar approach is taken towards financial literacy. While it is appropriate that part of the personal finance curriculum will be taught in maths, other parts of it are about making good decisions.
"That is where good quality PSHE comes into the fore," says Hayman.
"There are a wide range of issues that includes managing personal money, budgeting and financial planning for the future.
"We want to ensure young people are supported by an underpinning methodology of helping them understanding risk, delayed gratification and managing emotions in making good decisions."
Hayman started his career with the Youth Justice Board working on youth crime prevention initiatives before moving on to an education charity that supports before and after school clubs around the country.
He is also an author.
"I took some time out to write a book called British Voices about my travels round the country, talking to ordinary people about their perceptions of life in Britain.
"I spent three months doing that and spoke to more than 1,000 people. It gave me a real sense of what a complicated world it is for people, especially young people, to negotiate. That is why I went for the PSHE role because that is what PSHE is all about."
Hayman says his first task in his new role at the PSHE Associationis ensuring there are minimum standards for teachers delivering PSHE.
"The anecdotal evidence is that the quality of teaching and of external organisation is variable. The quality does seem to be patchy and raising standards is my number one priority."

9.3 square miles
656 feet
2013 Population:
507.8 per square mile
Almost exclusively residential
Although no parks exist within the City's boundaries, it's adjacent to two major Metro Nashville parks: Radnor Lake to the east and the Warner Parks on the west. They combine for nearly 4,000 acres and get more than a million visitors each every year.
Radnor Lake's 1,200 acres comprise forests and hiking trails surrounding a tranquil lake. More
The Warner Parks include a nature center, hiking and bridle trails, an equestrian center, picnic and shelter areas, scenic drives, cross country running courses, a model airplane field, athletic fields, and two golf courses. More

Forest Hills is a small residential city in southwest Davidson County, Tennessee, along the northern border of Williamson County. Incorporated in 1957, the City covers approximately 9.47 square miles, and in 2000 had a population of 4,710 residents.
When the city of Nashville consolidated with Davidson County in 1963, Forest Hills was one of six (now five) existing cities that maintained its identity. Residents do not receive access to all city-county combined services; the City of Forest Hills provides many services such as chipper service, road maintenance, and stormwater management. Residents pay no property taxes to the City of Forest Hills; its funds come primarily from a share of the taxes imposed by the state of Tennessee.
It is bordered on the north by Harding Place, on the south by Old Hickory Boulevard, on the west by Chickering Road, and on the east by Granny White Pike. Hillsboro Pike (State Route 56/U.S. 431) serves as the main north/south corridor within the city limits.
The area was developed as a suburb of Nashville in the wake of the post-World War II population and economic boom. As its name implies, Forest Hills comprises primarily steep wooded hills. These steep-sided hills were covered with forest until the early twentieth century, when residential development extended south from Nashville. The south-central section of the community contains what was originally fertile farmland within the Otter Creek watershed. This area supported numerous small farms during the nineteenth and early twentieth century.
Nashville has enjoyed prosperity and growth during the past several decades, which is reflected in the development of Forest Hills. Since 1970, hundreds of dwellings have been built in Forest Hills, and the community no longer retains many tracts of open space or farmland.
The City almost exclusively residential with no commercial development. High-density housing is prohibited.

Thought I'd pop over here from another forum and ask you folks something. I have been using a dinosaur Epson digital for years and wanted something much more compact and with a 6x optical zoom.So Santa brought me a Canon A710 IS which is amazing. Here's my question. With the old Epson,having the LCD screen on all the time really wore out the battery so you had the option of having the camera on and screen off and could just use the view finder if you wanted to. I can't find anyplace on this camera to turn off the LCD screen. It's always on when the camera is on. I've looked in the instructions and they mention using the settings to turn off the screen but I can't find where they are. Anyone have a clue? Thanks. |

imaGenes Appointed as BioTrove OpenArray® Service Provider
First service provider outside the U.S. will pave the way for European market
Berlin and Woburn - The Berlin-based integrated genomics services specialist imaGenes will complement its offerings with BioTrove's OpenArray(R) Platform, a nanoliter Real-Time qPCR, allowing for about 9,000 assays simultaneously.The high throughput OpenArray(R) platform delivers superior performance to comparative qPCR systems in a much easier to use format. OpenArray(R) produces more results faster, allowing gene expression profiling, microRNA profiling analyses and biomarker studies to be completed in days instead of weeks and at a much lower price. OpenArray(R) technology utilizes nanoliter fluidics enabling one person to generate over 27,000 assays per day.
OpenArray(R) offers six logs of sensi¬tivity in a miniaturized customizable parallel array format with excellent corre¬lation to data from conventional large volume Real-Time PCR. There¬fore, this platform fills a huge gap for experiments where microarray data lack accuracy and next generation sequencing is not cost-efficient.
imaGenes is BioTrove's first OpenArray(R) Service Provider for Real-Time qPCR Analysis outside the U.S. "We chose imaGenes for their extensive experience in microarray and next generation sequencing services. A spirited company with a well established quality management is an ideal partner to convince customers of the benefits of BioTrove's OpenArray(R) platform" says Derek Potter, BioTrove's European Director.
OpenArray(R) supports both TaqMan(R) and SYBR(R) chemistries. As an alternative to customer-designed assays, ready-to-use OpenArray(R) Pathways gene panels are also offered and contain bench-validated real-time qPCR assays. They provide to researchers a comprehensive set of gene families to aid the study of cancer, cardiovascular disease, inflammatory disease and basic cellular systems. Each plate in the OpenArray(R) Pathways product family contains 600+ laboratory tested assays.

ABQ Energy Code Rollback a Step in Wrong Direction
Published in the ABQ Journal on August 10
by Shrayas Jatkar, Sierra Club; City Councilor Ike Benton and Tammy Fiebelkorn, eSolved.
We strongly oppose the move to scrap Albuquerque's energy-saving building code. The guaranteed outcomes from such a move are greater energy waste, higher monthly utility bills for consumers and increased pollution.
The Journal's front-page article of July 27 and its editorial on July 29 got a lot of information wrong. Compared with the state code, Albuquerque's current energy conservation building code provides far more energy and utility bill savings for businesses and residents in the city.
Also, the existing Albuquerque code underwent a thorough economic impact analysis to ensure that the upfront costs of meeting the code weren't onerous - and they weren't.
It is also important to note that Councilor Ken Sanchez is not co-sponsoring this scheme, as was incorrectly stated. Given the Journal's unwillingness to question information given by opponents of energy-efficiency who wish to take the City of Albuquerque backward, we thought we should provide some actual facts.
Simply put, there is no good reason for falling in line with Gov. Susana Martinez's attack on energy efficiency.
There are challenges for designers and builders in utilizing any new or updated code, but to scrap our code and replace it with an international template is reckless. That's exactly what the State of New Mexico did, which spurred mass confusion in the building industry and a legal appeal from builders, businesses and energy efficiency advocates.
We'd be much better off now if city staff had spent time educating builders about the code - which is now two years old - and encouraging them to meet the requirements instead of developing plans and schemes to move the city backward in energy savings and pollution control.
Energy-efficient construction actually appears good for business, at least for home builders. Following the burst of the housing bubble, almost the only folks building and selling homes in our area are the ones that are building "green" like Pulte Homes, Artistic Homes and Paul Allen Homes.
Also, it is noteworthy that there are more housing starts in the city of Albuquerque than the metro region as a whole.
Clearly, individuals and businesses recognize the value of having an efficient building with low operating costs - even if the sponsors of the code rollback don't.
The major benefit of the current Albuquerque code is that it provides safety and comfort to the people living and working in buildings. For example, efficient windows and roofing materials, make it possible to keep a building cool during the heat of New Mexico's summers. Adequate air sealing and insulation protect us during periods of extreme weather events like the deep freeze we experienced this past February. The Albuquerque code provides these benefits while also saving citizens a lot of money on their monthly utility bills.
Healthy and comfortable buildings and healthier pocketbooks - definitely a win-win for Albuquerque consumers.
We believe in preparing Albuquerque for the future. Energy-saving features in new buildings are an excellent way to maintain the value of our buildings, which last for decades and are often people's single biggest asset.
Energy efficiency - especially in new construction - serves as insurance against future utility rate increases. The reduction in energy use through the Albuquerque code benefits everyone by lowering our community's overall demand for energy, which alleviates the need for more natural gas development or building of additional power plants.
Energy-efficient buildings are a win-win for our economy and environment.
Albuquerque should not join the Martinez administration's backward march on common sense, energy-saving building codes.

Ten reasons to go organic
Before listing the ten reasons, let's define what is organic and why buy.
First, do not see "organic" as a brand, some people, from observation, look for organic products just because it seems like the "new" trend, but that is not and should not be the case.
Though it helps organic growth and production, the "followers" and true health concerned consumers have helped businesses thrive.
U.S. sales of organic food and beverages have grown from $1 billion in 1990 to an estimated $20 billion in 2007 (Organic Trade Association).
Organic foods differ from conventional foods in the way the products are grown, processed and distributed.
Those foods are grown free of pesticides, toxic chemicals and any synthetic fertilizers. They're also restricted from being genetically modified (OTA), meaning that the plant was genetically altered for a desired trait (size, color, etc.).
Conventional foods are the exact opposite.
Why buy organics? Aside from the following list (or you can download the PDF), buy it because it's good for the environment, the workers and most importantly us, the people eating the delicious fresh food.
Ten reason to purchase organics (California Certified Organic Farmers):
1. Protect future generations – The food choices we make today will impact our children's future decisions and, most importantly, their health.
2. Protect water quality – The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) estimates that the pesticides (some cancerous) in contaminated water are in 38 states. Also the pollution is one main factor for contamination, affecting our primary source of drinking water.
3. Prevent soil erosion – In conventional farming, the soil is used more as a medium for holding plants in a vertical positions to be chemically fertilized.
4. Save energy – Conventional, modern farming uses more petroleum than any other single industry, consuming 12 percent of the country's total energy.
5. Keep chemicals off your plate – Pesticides, herbicides and fungicides can cause an extra 1.4 million cancer cases among Americans over our lifetimes.
6. Promote farm worker health – An estimated 1 million workers are poisoned annually from pesticides.
7. Help small farmers – They are the ones that truly pay attention to the growth and process of organic foods. Sadly, it is a decreasing industry.
8. Support a true economy – Organic foods are more expensive than conventional ones, but it is a direct purchase, where the money is going and what is worth. Unlike the hidden costs by taxpayers in conventional used food products that may be cheaper at your local market.
9. Promote biodiversity – Mono-cropping is the practice of planting large plots of land with the same crop year after year. While this approach tripled farm production between 1950 and 1970, the lack of natural diversity of plant life has left soil lacking in natural minerals and nutrients. To replace the nutrients, chemical fertilizers are used, often in increasing amounts.
10. Taste better flavor – It tastes way better. Pay attention to it. From the beginning of nourishing the soil to nourishing the plants to our mouths.

I took adavantage of round two of the buy 4 get 3 in a moderate resort, and it only cost a little more for me and my wife and kid than it did when I went solo and stayed at Pop last year for free dining, super deal!
Disney is apparently either experiencing an increase in attendance or is losing money on their free night/ticket promotions, because it has officially been announced that all promotions are ending in the near future. This is your last chance to take advantage of their packages to extend your stay by a few nights on Disney!

It's all over the papers down in Orlando. Not sure what reason for Disney dropping the promotion, but they were nice while they lasted.
And now the banner ads have started on this site, too. As serious as they were about letting us know about them, Disney's just as serious about letting us know that they're going away.
No more free dining plan?

I haven't heard anything about the dining plan being taken away. I know they're getting rid of their free nights promotion. Dining plan is still up in the air, as far as I've heard. But once this economy bounces back and attendance is up to normal levels, I can easily see things going back to the way they used to be, without free anything.
I believe that Iger stated that they would be phasing out the deep discounts in 2010 as forecasts have improved. The promotions were more or less to get bodies in the parks while people otherwise would have probably stayed home.
Free dining has been around for a while to do the same thing during the traditional slow period...it is probably that it will return - but probably back to its normal September/October timeframe.

I never thought I would spend $20 on a little sponge. But omgsh it is so worth it! It does not soak up your products it, it feels so good on your face (esp early mornings) and it blends beautifully. I have always used a dense kabuki brush for my liquid foundation and it would leave streaks with the beauty blender you will not have that problem. It's deff a sheer to medium coverage application but I'm sure you can build it up with your foundation. I honestly would recommend it. YOU NEED TO HAVE THIS IN YOUR COLLECTION!
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
AMAZING! I was very skeptical paying 20 bucks for this, but it has changed the way I apply foundation and makes it a beautiful finish with no streaks. I use the pointed end for concealer. I will occasionally see people not DAMPENING it before use. Make sure you do that it will make a world of difference. Buy this:)
The pink sponge is HEAVEN SENT! It's true! I hated how foundation looked on my face no matter how I applied it. Sponge, wedge, brush, fingers you name it, it didn't work for me. There's no other way to put it other than it applied foundation beautifully. It's worth the price and no you won't be disappointed. Just look at all these glowing reviews!
This is a great sponge - no debate there. However, I didn't need this in my life. It's difficult to clean but I don't really mind. But what I do mind is that it's just so gosh darn expensive! And It only truly works on FULL COVERAGE foundations. Anything from light to medium coverage, the BB sheers it out way too much like and I find that it absorbs the majority of the product. I only find this useful on foundations that I know will make me look cakey because it will sheer it out to a more flawless coverage but I don't wear full coverage foundations too often. I do highly recommend it for under eye concealing though. Bottom line - if you enjoy full coverage foundation like MAC Studio Fix, Kat Von D, Estée Lauder DW, CG 3-n-1, etc this is for you but if you're more like me and prefer medium coverage (MUFE HD, YSL Touché Éclat, BB creams) you might want to skip. Because I find myself almost never reaching for this sponge, I wish I got the RT sponge instead -_-

Like most people I was skeptical of the beauty blender. I figured brushes would be the best, but I was so wrong. I took the plunge and bought a Beauty Blender and it literally changed my life. My makeup looks absolutely beautiful and flawless when I apply my foundation and concealer with the BB. You will not regret it! Go and get it! It's amazing.

I don't normally write reviews, but those of you who are (rightfully) skeptic about trying the Beauty Blender -- take the plunge! You will not regret it. There's a reason why this sponge is used by makeup artists the world over: there is no other tool that compares.
Yes, it is expensive. Yes, it uses up more product than comparable application methods. Yes, it does thin out a foundation and make the coverage more sheer, which to many people is undesirable (however, there are ways to work around this). But to those of us who are makeup perfectionists, there is NOTHING that comes close to the natural, beautiful finish that the Beauty Blender provides. This baby makes your makeup look like SKIN -- even heavy, full-coverage foundations can look natural when applied with this.
I'm not sure why it works the way it does, but my bet is that it has something to do with the little "pores" of the sponge. They're larger than the pores of traditional makeup sponges and I believe the texture is intended to mimic the texture of skin. If you're someone who wants a "poreless" look, maybe this isn't for you, but the smoothness and uniformity that this sponge gives is like perfect "real" skin.
Since it significantly thins out the coverage of makeup, your application methods will change with this tool. I've found that if I desire a heavier-coverage look, I'll apply my foundation in sections with a traditional brush and then immediately after finishing a section, I'll blend it out again with the BB sponge to get the right texture. One downfall is that using the Beauty Blender does make my makeup application time significantly longer than using a foundation brush, but I think this could be attributed to the fact that with this I know I can get an essentially flawless finish, and so I'll spend more time blending.
One thing I'll note is that the cleanser marketed to clean the Beauty Blender (Blender Cleanser? I'm not sure what it's called) isn't necessary. It's overpriced and doesn't do anything special, and it smells bad. The sponge should be washed before each use, and propped up on the stand/packaging to dry in between. I've found that baby shampoo is the best cleanser for it.

I really did not want to buy this. I'm a pretty poor college student. I resisted all the hype because I could not understand how a sponge could be worth $20. I finally caved and got it at sephora and i absolutely don't regret it. before this i was using Real techniques expert face and I like this sponge way better.
All the hype made me want a dupe though but everyone said each dupe didn't compare to the BB.

I purchased a Chanel foundation brush (#6) back in July 2013. I purchased the beautyblender in December 2013. I am so mad at myself for having bought these two things so close together, because I absolutely fell in love with the beautyblender and feel like I've wasted my money on the foundation brush.
Lately, I have been using the foundation brush again (solely to get more use out of it!) and simply applying concealer with the beautyblender. Then I go over my face to sort of create that airbrush look the beautyblender is known for! Also, the beautyblender eats up a lot of product. So, I feel like when I apply my liquid foundation with the Chanel brush, I'm saving a bit of product and then finish the look with the beautyblender. The only con to the beautyblender is that it does use twice as much product normally used during application. I feel like the look lasts all day, which is obviously a combination of product and technique. I bought the pack of two for $30, which saves $10 (each one costs $20). I like the packaging because there's sort of a little holder inside which I've used to keep the sponge in for drying purposes instead of just letting it sit on a surface to collect germs. (It's sort of hard to explain, but those who own this know what I mean hopefully!)
I've read a lot of complaints that this is difficult to clean, which I disagree with. I will admit to being lazy with this because if I use the sponge in the morning and let it dry, chances are I'm not going to go back and wash the sponge and let it dry again before the next application. Cleansing works best when the sponge is dry. I find when I try to clean it right away after usage the product doesn't come out as readily and cleaning feels pointless. If you buy the two pack, this is probably a little easier. However, I've just stored away the spare sponge and not even used it yet. I'm just keeping it as a backup in case my current one rips or it gets lost somehow. Also, there is a cleanser specifically made for the beautyblender sold at Sephora. I have not tried this and do not know anything about it. From what I understand, I believe there is a travel kit sold on Sephora.com too which comes with the cleanser too!
As far as dupes go, I've never bought any. From what I've read on here, the dupes sold at drug stores/Ulta are nothing like the real thing. This is why I decided to just skip all that and purchase the real thing.
Overall, this has been my favorite beauty purchase by far in the past year, which is a huge statement considering how many products I've bought in the past month alone! This is HG, bring on a desert island stuff! Do not wait any longer to purchase!
I discovered the beauty blender about 2 weeks ago. I dont wear much makeup, just bb cream here and there, highlighter to make my face moist, dewy and glowy & to cover some imperfections. At first like MANY others, I refused to spend that much on a damn sponge so I got SOHO at walgreens. That soho sponge was amazing BUT cracks started to occur after a weeks use and I was gentle with that baby. I saw reviews on how long people's beauty blender lasted them so I purchased 2 on ebay for 24.95.
This sponge is amazing, makes your skin achieve the dewy effect with obviously the proper products. Its best not to waste 8 bucks when you are going to have to re buy another one 7 days later so just spend more so in the long run you spend less.

I'm in two minds about this product as it is great but it is SO expensive, I got another sponge when I was on holiday in South Africa, just from a generic pharmacy for a quarter of the cost and it works about the same and you don't constantly need to wet it (which becomes a bit of annoying chore as it constantly needs cleaning), I feel as though this product is a bit of a con, it's just sponge at the end of the day, how much can it cost to produce? It didn't really last very long either, after about 2 months it broke apart at the bottom, which i think was due to the constant cleaning. But it does give great coverage so if you can afford it. Try it. But IMO best testing cheaper alternatives first.

As Palavras que eu vos tenho dito são Espírito e são Vida. João 6:63
You're hot, cold or warm? Gospel messages of God's Word
You're hot, cold or warm? You are yes or no? Hands-on You can do good You can make a difference in someone's life
So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither hot nor cold, I will vomit you out of my mouth. - Revelation 3:16
The word is hard, but necessary. Many people live just to warm a pew and talk Glory to God, but work in the work of the Lord is good. Nothing.
14 What doth it profit, my brethren, if someone says he has faith but has no deeds? Can faith save him? 15 If a brother or sister be naked, and destitute of daily food. 16 And one of you says to them: Go in peace, aquentai fartai you and you, and not give them the things needed for the body, what doth it profit? 17 Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead in itself. 18 But someone will say, Thou hast faith, and I have works: shew me thy faith without thy works, and I will show thee my faith by my works. 19 You believe that God is one? Thou doest well: the devils also believe, and tremble. 20 But wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith without works is dead? James 2:14-20
We all want to see a better world. A land of justice, happy, peaceful and filled with the love of God which is what we can truly change people's lives, cities, countries and the world. So we must stand up and put ourselves in the service of the Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ.
We can all contribute to the work of the Lord. Our God has given us different gifts. At the bottom of our hearts, each one of us know very well what is the area in which the Lord has enabled us over. Even the person who finds some kind of difficulty and can not clearly define what the type of work for which the Lord has intended, just that the son or daughter of God will make available, to pray and ask for illumination the Holy Spirit of God, the Trinity, of course, there will be an extraordinary way of enabling that person.
In the end, the important thing is to be a vessel of honor to serve the Lord. We have also our capabilities and our limitations. Some are huge trucks, other trucks, other estate and other handcart. No matter what our condition. The important thing is that we do with sincerity and joy in our work the Lord's work. Our God looks at the quality of our work and not quantity, because, in the Lord Jesus returns He will judge each one according to the condition and the talents we have received of the Father So if we are weak we are strong or if it does not has the least importance because, in the end, the Lord Jesus will be all in all.
This business of leaving for tomorrow what should be done today is inda story of who did not understand the dimension of the presence of the Lord Jesus Christ in his life. Who is delaying work on the work of the Lord does not choose a good path for the Spirit of God has warned us about it:
17 To him therefore that knoweth to do good and not do it, sins. - James 4:17
27 Do not withhold good from those to whom the right, in your being able to do so. - Proverbs 3:27
We must never forget the great and wonderful teachings that our Lord Jesus Christ left us: 8 I say to you that everyone who confesses me before men, the Son of man also confess before the angels of God; 9 but he who denies me before men shall be denied before the angels of God.
Luke 12:8-9
That's it!
No matter what our condition. It's like they say those old sayings:
Nobody is so wise that can not learn, nor so small that it can teach.
Nobody is so rich that he can not earn more, nor so poor that they have nothing to give.
No one is so perfect that it does not need God, or so flawed that it can not rely on the mercy and His forgiveness.
And finally, let's open our hearts and our minds to understand that this Word of God is willing to teach us:
Is, however, your speech: Yes, yes, no, no, because what is there, is of evil.
Matthew 5:37
Clearer than that impossible!
Amen and Thank God
