Microcurrent / Microchannel / Radiofrequency
View Image- MICROCURRENT
- Electric facials are on the menu everywhere from Perricone's New York spa to Four Seasons hotels to Elizabeth Arden's Red Door salons. "Professional-grade microcurrent machines emit a positive and a negative current via two wands or probes. When the probes are placed a few inches apart on the face, a circuit of current travels from one point to the other and "stimulates" the tissue in between", Dr. Perricone says. The current is subsensory, which means all the client feels is the gliding of the rods and perhaps a slight tingle. Clients often fall asleep midfacial. With the right expertise and professional-grade microcurrent, you can dramatically shape the face. It's no wonder celebrities have become insatiable consumers of electric facials, especially during awards season.
At Coastal Skin Care, we have designed our own "Big Lift" procedure. Call Today to experience this truly remarkable treatment with remarkable results! Try the Micro-current Quad today.

- TriPollar™ Radiofrequency
- Radio Frequency is being heralded, in the medical world, as the panacea to skin rejuvenation treatments for the majority of those who are concerned about keeping the physical aging process ostensibly at bay, without recourse to drastic surgical-action.
It is one of the safest and least invasive, yet effective, anti-aging treatments available, to people of all skin colors.
Radio Frequency is an advanced technology. RF works by delivering gradual energy to the skin, causing heat to build up where the skin and fat layer come together. The increasing heat modifies the collagen bundles deep inside the skin, causing the collagen fibers to contract and, because they believe they are undergoing a trauma, they start stimulating the growth of new collagen. This results in firmer, tighter skin.What is TriPollar RF Technology?
TriPollar™ RF is the 3rd generation RF technology. It uses multiple electrodes to deliver the RF energy under the skin. For the first time, a safe, energy-based system that combines controlled heat deep into the skin while preserving the superficial skin. Earlier types of RF technology either penetrated too deeply into the tissue, which can be painful and may result in surface burns, or they deliver heat too superficially which limits their clinical benefit.Radio Frequency by itself - $150
RadioFrequency/ Microcurrent / Peel - $250
RadioFrequency on Arms or Legs (Inner or Outer) - $250
- Ultrasound Cavitation
- Ultrasound Cavitation is a revolutionary fat reduction and body sculpting treatment that offers a safe, painless, and non-intrusive way to remove unwanted fat deposits.
Ultrasound Cavitation is a natural phenomenon that sends multi-directional acoustic waves directly to the fat cells, bursting the outer cell wall, leaving non-adipose (fat) tissues unharmed and untouched.
• Treatments are 20-30 minutes long, depending on the body area. Ultrasound Cavitation appointments consist of treatment time & health advice personalized to you.
• Treatments do not hurt, and are safe.
• You will feel a slight prickly warmth on the treatment area and may hear the specific noise of the Ultrasound machine in your ears, but clients do not usually find this uncomfortable. You can return to work or normal activities straight after treatment.
Tripolar Radio Frequency(RF) can be used with Ultrasound Cavitation to tighten the actual skin, eliminating cellulite and wrinkles. RF works by delivering gradual energy to the skin, causing the collagen fibers to contract and to start stimulating the growth of new collagen. This results in firmer, tighter skin.AFTER TREATMENT CARE
• Drink at least ½ gallon of water before your treatment and another ½ gallon in the day after your treatment.
• Do not drink any alcohol or caffeine in the day of treatment or 48 hours after.
• Use Dry Skin Brushing daily to stimulate lymph movement.
Ultrasound Cavitation by itself - $250

Chemical Peels
View Image- Chemical Peels
- Coastal Skin Care offers a wide range of superficial chemical peels using alpha hydroxyl acids (AHA's), TCA (trichloroacetic acid), salicylic acid, resorcinol, retinol, tyrosinase inhibitors, antioxidants and polyphenols to address a wide range of skin types and conditions.

By removing dull and damaged surface layers, the result is a healthier and more youthful appearance. In addition, they will address problems of hyperpigmentation, acne, surface lines and wrinkles, with little or no "downtime".
While various peels produce good results on their own, these treatments can be enhanced by using them in conjunction with Microdermabrasion, either on the same day or several days after. We will be happy to customize your treatment based on your skin type and your needs!

KALISPELL - The number of flu cases reported in the Flathead is still on the rise.
Officials say 56 new cases were reported last week, and the Flathead County Health Department expects another 10 cases will be reported early next week by Kalispell Regional Medical Center.
That puts the total number of confirmed cases this season to about 215, which is higher than most other counties in Montana.
Health officials stress the best way to avoid the flu is by getting vaccinated, and shots are still available across Northwest Montana.

Microhoo Deal Could Shortchange Consumers, Marketers
by Wendy Davis on Jul 30, 4:00 PM
Microsoft has wanted to gain a larger presence in the search market for years. Now it looks like the company has done so, assuming its proposed deal with Yahoo is cleared by regulators. Yet in some ways this deal could be worse for competition than the Google-Yahoo arrangement shot down last year.

AT&T's Blocking 4chan Could Spur Push For Net Neutrality
by Wendy Davis on Jul 27, 6:02 PM
The pranksters at online bulletin board 4chan are notorious for antics like hacking a
magazine poll, gaining access to former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin's email account and "Rick Rolling," or tricking unsuspecting Internet users into watching the music video of Rick Astley's 1988 "Never Gonna Give You Up." This weekend 4chan was famous for another reason: the site became the poster child for the prospect of Web censorship.

FTC Hopes To Issue Blogger Guidelines By Year End
by Wendy Davis on Jul 22, 4:45 PM
The Federal Trade Commission has been considering a controversial update to testimonial guidelines that would require bloggers and other online commenters to disclose any connections they have to marketers. If the FTC goes through with the proposal, bloggers would have to reveal when they're paid per post by a marketer. But they would also have to disclose when they've received free review copies -- even though newspapers, magazines and other mainstream media aren't subject to similar requirements.

Amazon's Copyright Woes Kindle A Fiasco
by Wendy Davis on Jul 20, 5:15 PM
Forced into damage control mode by its decision to erase books that people had already purchased, Amazon is vowing to never again delete material from users' Kindles. That promise comes too late for some Kindle users who found that copies of "1984" and "Animal Farm" had been remotely deleted from their devices last week. That statement also might carry more weight if Amazon hadn't already said in its user agreement that people could keep their books forever.

TechCrunch/Twitter Controversy Heats Up
by Wendy Davis on Jul 17, 5:45 PM
TechCrunch's decision this week to publish formerly confidential Twitter documents is still stirring up the blogosphere. While some commenters argue that TechCrunch is on safe legal ground -- at least to the extent that it's publishing information that's arguably of public interest -- others are condemning site owner Michael Arrington for making use of hacked documents. Legalities aside, Arrington seems to be facing a public relations crisis of sorts. But it doesn't stem from the fact that he disclosed Twitter's information, but that he told everyone that he obtained it from a hacker.

Review: 'The Last Stand' Doesn't Stand On Its Own
Movie Reviews By Christopher Campbell on January 17, 2013 | Comments (1)As written, The Last Stand is not an interesting movie. It's a simple modern-day western as action flick with dialogue that's nearly 100% expositional and a plot that offers nothing in the way of surprise, suspense or subtlety. It could really have been made at any time and starred any major or minor actor and been roughly the same as what we're looking at this weekend with Arnold Schwarzenegger in the leading role. But The Last Stand is arriving now and indeed with Schwarzenegger's name on the top of the marquee, his first starring vehicle in ten years. That makes the movie of note all by itself, in such a way that it might as well be actually titled "The Return of Arnold Schwarzenegger." Or "Arnold is Back," although this would imply that it's an opportunity for winking bits of self-awareness. Surprisingly, there's not a lot of silly references to the Arnie classics and signature lines. He thankfully got the obvious "I'm back" shtick out of his system in last year's The Expendables 2.
Year in Review: The 12 Best Action Movies of 2012
2012 Year in Review By Robert Fure on December 27, 2012 | Comments (29)Movies are many different things to many different peoples. A film may tug at your heart strings, tickle your funny bone, or change the way you look at the world. But sometimes all you want from a movie is an adrenaline shot straight to the heart, a testosterone booster right to the balls, or whatever the female equivalent of getting really hyped up over an action film is. 2012 didn't see the apocalypse, but it did see a bunch of cinematic ass-kickery, the best of which is counted down here for your pleasure.
This Week In Blu-ray & DVD: The Expendables Go Head to Head with Transformers, Power Rangers and a Big Tits Zombie
Features By Rob Hunter on November 19, 2012 | Be the First To CommentWelcome back to This Week In Discs! As always, if you see something you like, click on the image to buy it. Tarantino XX 8-Film Collection Haven't seen this Blu-ray set yet, but at less than $9 per movie (based on Amazon's current price) it seems like a no-brainer. The collection includes Reservoir Dogs, Pulp Fiction, Jackie Brown, Kill Bill Volume 1 & 2, Death Proof, Inglourious Basterds and True Romance. There are three spectacular films in that list, three pretty great ones and two more of varying quality, and all eight are presented in HD with the original special features intact.

10 Badass Moments from 'The Expendables 2′ (And 5 Not-So Badass)
Features By Robert Fure on August 20, 2012 | Comments (18)Sylvester Stallone's The Expendables undeniably got a lot of people excited when it was first announced. It sounded like a dream come true but the stark reality of it was somewhat more disappointing. It was entertaining, but nearly as great as it could have/should have been. With the second coming of The Expendables, excitement was still high, but tempered by the slight sting of the first. For a lot of people, dreams came true – The Expendables 2 was a vast improvement over the first, offering up more mayhem and one-liners than anyone thought possible, making it super easy to find 10 Badass Moments we loved. Of course, spoilers follow, but if you're brave enough, check out the best badass the film had to offer, after the break.
The Anti-Expendables: 10 Bad Guys Who Should Team Up Against Sly and the Gang
Features By Dustin Hucks on August 19, 2012 | Comments (15)2010's The Expendables gave fans of iconic action hero badasseration a taste of what it would be like to experience some of our favorite face punching, public property demolishing, one-liner dropping stars of recent yesteryear share the big screen. It was over the top, explodey good times. Stallone, Li, Crews, Statham, Lundgren, Couture, and Rourke were a fun sample course. Sly, never being one to shy away from sequels (still waiting on Cliffhanger: Hang Some More), poured moonshine in the formula and give us more Schwarzenegger, Bruce Willis, and the perpetual awesomeness that is Chuck Norris in The Expendables 2. Even better, the villain finally gets an equal measure of excellence in the form of The Muscles from that Place in Belgium, Jean-Claude Van Damme. Sorry Eric Roberts, I love you but…Sharktopus. Still, one JCVD chair-splits punch alone isn't enough to compete with those three decades worth of action superstars, and whomever tangles with them next will have to compete with an action aficionado wet dream of additional Expendables. What is a top bad guy to do? Contract out — pull an equal measure of baddies from the past together and give Barney Ross and company a run for their money. Below are my ten Anti-Expendables, in no particular order.
He's Back: A Guide to the Upcoming Schwarzenegger Resurgence
Features By Robert Fure on August 19, 2012 | Be the First To CommentJust like a cybernetic killing machine from the future, Arnold Schwarzenegger just can't be stopped. Sure, he can take long breaks between sequels or be a two-term Governor of one of the biggest states of the union, but he'll always be back. Now that his political tenure has come to an end, Arnold is going back to doing what he does second best: acting. First best is lifting heavy things, of course. Aside from his cameos in The Expendables and Around the World in 80 Days, Schwarzenegger has been absent from the big screen for around nine years – his last leading role was Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines. If your life somehow felt more meaningless in that period, you are not alone – and relief is coming as we break down Schwarzenegger's upcoming confirmed and rumored film appearances.
The Great Lakes Expendables: What An Asylum Expendables Movie Would Look Like
Features By Robert Fure on August 18, 2012 | Comments (1)When The Expendables first came to our attention, we were all psyched. By "our" and "we" I'm referring, of course, to just about every male born before 1990. These were our guys. Our heroes. All of them, together, in one place. Well, almost all of them. There were some notable figures missing, like Jean-Claude Van Damme, Chuck Norris, and Steven Seagal. As internet writers with a boner for lists, we all put together our dream cast for The Expendables 2. Now that the film has arrived, men and awesome women everywhere were rewarded: Jean-Claude and Chuck Norris were both added to the cast while Schwarzenegger and Willis both got expanded roles. Our action dreams were coming true! And while the word on The Expendables 2 is mostly positive, that hasn't stopped the internet from churning out dream casting for the hopefully inevitable third installment. But here at Film School Rejects, we're a little bit different. Why create another list of pretty cool action stars from the 80s or 90s? Everyone else is already doing that. We're going the opposite direction, to Asylum Town.
Review: 'The Expendables 2′ Delivers Plenty of Action and Cheese
Movie Reviews By Luke Mullen on August 17, 2012 | Comments (1)It almost hurts to think about The Expendables. It was simply heartbreaking to see such a great concept squandered, buried in a mire of terrible effects, ridiculous over-exposited story and worst of all, poorly shot and cut action sequences. How could they have brought together some of the greatest living action stars for a modern action film, a seemingly simple endeavor, and still managed to screw up? So it was with "fool me once" eyes that we as action movie lovers gobbled up news stories on the inevitable sequel. Expanded parts for Arnold Schwarzenegger and Bruce Willis? Jean Claude Van Damme?! Chuck Norris!?! It wasn't long before the excitement grew so big that it clouded our collective memory of the disappointment of the first film. With everyone important back, some great new faces and an R-rating secured, we allowed ourselves to hope that maybe they finally got it right. And while The Expendables 2 does deliver more of what we always wanted from these films, it's still not quite the home run we wanted.
How To Be A Man According to Arnold Schwarzenegger Action Movies
Features By Alexander Huls on August 16, 2012 | Be the First To CommentIf you're a real action movie fan, you know the biggest super group team-up movie of the summer isn't The Avengers, but The Expendables 2. Because who wants to see a bunch of heroes come together to wear tights, yellow armor, or purple pants, when they can see the mass team-up of 80s and 90s beefcake action heroes whose combined machismo could instantly mature a twelve-year-old boy into a beer-drinking, cigar-smoking, bicep-bulging, five-o-clock-shadowed manly thirty-something? If the question is "Are we not men?" then the combined manliness of The Expendables 2 cast reminds us that the answer is "Yes, but obviously only because action stars taught us to be." Each of these men (well, okay, 25% of them) and their action movies could teach a master class on being the epitome of man, but amongst them there is only one Albert Einstein of Macho, one Dalai Lama of Masculinity, one Aristotle of Testosterone: Arnold Schwarzenegger. Since he appeared in Conan the Barbarian in 1982, Ahnuld's action films over the decades have woven together the definitive guide to being a Y-chromosome carrier. So, if you happen to need a refresher, or are new to this whole "being a manly dude" thing, here are 10 essential rules on how to be a real man – according to Arnold Schwarzenegger action movies.
Your Ultimate Guide to the Posters of Comic-Con 2012 [Updating…]
Comic-Con By Kate Erbland on July 16, 2012 | Comments (2)Having never previously covered the behemoth known as Comic-Con, I'm currently feeling woefully unprepared (underprepared?) for the experience. But years of monitoring and reporting on the news coming out of the 'con has prepared me for something – the incredible flood of tangible marketing material that accompanies the convention. We're not talking about panel chatter, rumors, or announcements, we're talking hard stuff like posters and banners, material spotted out in the wild of the convention floor as often as it's released before Preview Night even kicks off that you may one day be able to possess for yourself (and your walls). After the break, feast your eyes on every poster and banner (within reason) released at Comic-Con, an ever-evolving gallery of both pretty pictures and essential information, including such highly anticipated fare as The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey, Pacific Rim, Dredd, and some very special original works by the likes of Mondo and Gallery 1988.
What to Expect From Our Coverage of Comic-Con 2012
Comic-Con By Brian Salisbury on July 11, 2012 | Comments (1)Check out a preview of what the Rejects will be up to this year at the San Diego Comic-Con, beginning with SDCC virgin Brian Salisbury… Having never been to Comic-Con, in fact having never before set foot in the state of California, I can't help but feel a tinge of trepidation as I pack for San Diego. Chief among these concerns was whether I'd even get an adequate feel of the Con on my first outing as I darted from roundtable to roundtable, from press screening to blogger party. Would I leave my first Comic Con with no legitimate understanding of what keeps people coming back year after year? It was then I decided that, as a noob, it was best to experience the convention as a fan and not an industry professional. I needed to separate these two factions of my personality, to make a clean break from the behind-the-scenes journalism aspect and the intrepid geeks who walk the floor without the benefit of credentials. That's when the idea of wearing a mask came into the picture, to disguise myself and resist the temptation of professional perks. I will walk the floors, stand in lines for panels in the various halls, and talk geek shop with the other attendees; providing journal entries for each day. This seems doubly fitting given the amount of cosplay that I've heard takes place at Comic Con. I will blend in even under fantastical vestments. So what character would I choose? What hero, outlaw, […]
How to Experience Everything at Comic-Con 2012
Comic-Con By Scott Beggs on July 6, 2012 | Be the First To CommentFrom the looks of it Django Unchained, Pacific Rim and Anything Marvel Does Forever are topping the list of the most anticipated movies hitting Comic-Con 2012. The question is, with 400 million (number estimated) other movie panels showing up in San Diego, how will you possibly see everything? And how can you see anything if you aren't going to be there? Since the list of events is massive, we've teamed up with 14 other movie websites to make sure that every inch of the convention center is locked down. Consider this your portal, bookmark it, and return often to check out the full spectrum of coverage from ours and other fine sites. To get started, here's a small look at what all of us are most excited to see.
Gun Fire! Gun Fire! Car Crash! One Liners! First 'Expendables 2′ Clip Keeps it Simple
Movie News By Scott Beggs on June 29, 2012 | Comments (2)The first clip from The Expendables 2 is sticking to the formula of rapid squibs, snarky one-liners and people being fine after getting shot because they're mas macho. In other words, it's very cool. Sylvester Stallone and Jason Statham zipline in the most exposed-to-bullets way possible only to end up surrounded by a small group of well-armed baddies. How do they escape? By stealing a gag from The Losers, of course. Check it out for yourself:
Move Over, 'The Expendables 2,' 'Soldiers of Fortune' Features Action Actors Who Are Truly Expendable
Movie News By Nathan Adams on June 15, 2012 | Comments (1)Sylvester Stallone's upcoming all-star action extravaganza The Expendables 2 is currently in the midst of a mass scale marketing blitz that recently motored on with the release of its final official poster over at Yahoo! Movies (check out a larger version after the break). Just look at all those big names standing next to each other and try to tell me that it doesn't get you excited for the possibility of seeing them kick ass on the same screen. These guys are the biggest badasses in movie history, without question, and just the idea of seeing JCVD finally going toe-to-toe with Chuck Norris is enough to make one salivate. But what's with the name of this franchise? The Expendables? Hardly. These rich old men are anything but, as their films have basically made all the money the action genre has brought in over the last three decades. To paint them as some sort of rag-tag team of underdogs is just downright disingenuous. If rooting for the little guy is your cup of tea, however, then boy do I have an appealing B-team of action badasses for you. Meet the Soldiers of Fortune:
Egos Assemble: The Tortured, Exaggerated Masculinity of 'The Avengers'
Culture Warrior By Landon Palmer on May 8, 2012 | Be the First To CommentCrowding a movie with talent often seems like a good idea only in the abstract sense. In practice, such films can easily feel overstuffed. For example, the basic conceits for both The Expendables and Grown Ups sound like products of wishful thinking held during a drunk conversation between a group of 19-year-olds at 3am. Yes, in theory a movie featuring all of the action stars of the 80s or the most successful SNL cast since the late-70s would be great – however, a bunch of famous people do not a seminal action film or great comedy make. What's most surprising about Joss Whedon's The Avengers is that the whole somehow proved greater than its parts. A movie with this quantity of iconic superheroes runs the incredible risk of being overstuffed and only half-cooked. The standards created by previous Hollywood films indicate that studios would be happy enough allowing the conflagration of bankable characters stand in for (or, more accurately, distract from the lack of) actual entertainment value; mammoth opening weekends, after all, are always more a sign of effective marketing than good filmmaking. But The Avengers not only stands as an equal to some of the stronger entries in Marvel's 4-year, 5-film multiverse-building, but is arguably superior. Some of these characters came across more fully-fleshed and three-dimensional as part of an ensemble than in their respective standalone films.
'The Expendables 2' Trailer is Big Explosions and Bad Puns Served Up by Your Childhood Heroes
Movie News By Nathan Adams on May 3, 2012 | Comments (1)Sylvester Stallone seems to be pretty proud of the work he's done on his latest film, The Expendables 2. So much so that he's even dressed up in a suit and tie to premiere the movie's trailer on IGN (fancy!). Sly says of his new all-star action extravaganza, "If you thought the first movie kicked some serious ass, you haven't seen anything yet." For fans of The Expendables, that has to be an exciting bit of music to their action-loving ears. But what of us who thought the first movie was mostly just a disappointing bore? Well, if this new bit of advertising is to be believed, there might be some hope for us as well.
Terry Crews Commands You To Be Excited About 'The Expendables 2′
Movie News By Neil Miller on May 2, 2012 | Comments (2)Terry Crews is not f*%king around with you, man. Or lady. In an announcement teaser for the upcoming release of the full trailer for The Expendables 2, the action star has taken to the YouTube with the same brand of motivational speaking presence that made him everyone's favorite Old Spice salesman. In this 30-second spot, Crews shows off what we can only assume are some of the best parts of the upcoming trailer — the parts where a bunch of things explode. So seriously, stop screwing around and watch this trailer for a trailer. (I hate myself for writing that last part. I'm now part of the problem. Thanks, Terry Crews.)
Movie News After Dark: Avengers Brings Out the Worst in Fans, Fringe Presses On, Chuck Norris, Texting in Theaters and How to Build a Web-Shooter
Movie News By Neil Miller on April 26, 2012 | Comments (2)What is Movie News After Dark? It's a nightly column that assembles the heroes of movie and entertainment news every night. Marvel has only assembled its team once. Take that, Marvel. We begin tonight with several items on The Avengers. First — embargo be damned — it's so much fun. There is also a new image of the team completely assembled amidst the rubble of the film's massive third act war scene. And then there's the disappointing news of the day. Matt Singer reports on CriticWire about angry nerds attacking a female critic over a negative review of The Avengers. Not only did the lash out at the otherwise lovely Amy Nicholson of Boxoffice Magazine, they did so in a terrible, misogynistic way. If this was you, be very ashamed of yourself. Every critic gets their say, and just because she didn't like the movie, that doesn't mean you get to be a shit about it. It's truly sad. Please grow up.
3 Ways to Interpret Sylvester Stallone's 'Expendables 2′ R-Rating Confirmation Comment
Movie News By Scott Beggs on March 19, 2012 | Comments (3)Over at Sylvester Stallone Fan site StalloneZone (a website that totally, actually exists), Craig Zablo reportedly received confirmation from Stallone that the forthcoming Expendables 2 would be rated R – directly contradicting his earlier explanation that the movie would be both PG-13 and "large." It was a short but direct statement from Stallone: "After taking in all the odd rumors and hearsay, EXPENDABLES II is an R"(his emphasis). And there are 3 ways to take that. They were shooting for PG-13 (possibly because of Chuck Norris's weird sense of prudishness) but the outcry has made them rethink it. Stallone was playing an odd game of misdirection with his earlier comment in an attempt to lower the bar/piss off potential fans. A fan site is fanning flames with a false comment. The first makes the most sense. At any rate, something has made them rethink making a mature action movie fit firmly into a ratings box reserved for adults. The second option seems absurd given that his original statement not only claims the PG-13 rating but tries to explain it with the knowledge that fans would be up in arms. The third could be true, but StalloneZone has actually proven itself to be fairly well connected to the actor/writer/director/bench presser. So, who knows. And who cares? Anyone who sees nothing wrong with a bunch of dudes fighting and blowing shit up being able to say "Fuck" or show some blood doing it. That's who.
Liam Hemsworth Will Steal Your Girlfriend's Heart in 'Timeless'
Casting Couch By Nathan Adams on January 25, 2012 | Be the First To CommentThough his older brother Chris Hemsworth jumped a bit ahead in terms of fame factor after starring as Thor in the Marvel Comics movie of the same name, it's starting to look like younger brother Liam Hemsworth is poised for a comeback. He's all set to play Gale Hawthorne in the sure to be ridiculously high profile The Hunger Games as well as join forces with a bunch of action movie legends as Bill 'The Kid' Timmons in The Expendables 2 coming up in 2012. And, you know what they say in Hollywood (not really), with great notoriety comes great castability, so Hemsworth is now seeing some offers for starring roles coming in as well. According to THR, the young up-and-comer is currently negotiating with Relativity Media to take the lead in their upcoming drama Timeless, which is about a man who is struggling to develop a scientific method of turning back time after the death of his wife. You know what that means fellas: all this one needs is some shots of Hemsworth's handsome face looking sad, some swelling music, and a declaration of never letting love die in the trailer, and your girlfriend is going to absolutely force you into the theater to see this one.

Life after Lowe's: How to fix Southeast Seattle's "hardware desert"
There are plenty of reasons to question the city's plan to upzone the area around the Mount Baker Link rail station into a sort of way-south South Lake Union, at least on paper. (See Bill Lucia's report from last week.) But I can see two reasons to cheer it, though neither has occurred to the proponents. One is arguably trivial, the other admittedly speculative. But together they say a lot about what redevelopment has already wreaked in the Rainier Valley, and why we should look warily at more grand schemes there.
First, the questions: Do we really want 125-foot-high buildings across the street from single-family homes on one side and a block away on the other? That's the height sought by the Department of Planning and Development and some city councilmembers for the 13 acres occupied currently by Lowe's Hardware and formerly by Sick's Stadium (till the Kingdome supplanted it and the city encouraged Eagle Hardware, Lowe's predecessor, to open there in 1992).
And, do we want to drive yet more light industry out of the city, especially from distressed neighborhoods? The Pepsi bottling plant just north of Lowe's, is currently zoned for six stories. The plant isn't included in the upzone proposal, but it is part of the swath targeted for redevelopment. If 12-story apartments go up next door, it will put heavy pressure on Pepsi to yield to a similar project. How many living-wage jobs would then be sent to the boonies or terminated altogether?
Pepsi representatives wouldn't say how many workers the plant employs. One business data site reports that the Seattle-based Pepsi operation has more than 250 workers and revenues of $100 to $500 million. That job tally sounds improbable; I've heard it's more like 50. But even 50 jobs is a lot in a distressed area of the city. Add 100-plus (not so living-wage) jobs at Lowe's and other auto-oriented chain retailers that would be displaced by dense transit-oriented development.
At least mega-buildings here come with a silver lining: A few looming mega-blocks of apartments here would at least cut the absurdly overbuilt Mount Baker rail station down to size. This 30,000-square-foot monument — just a single stop on a "light" rail line — looms like a grandiose airport glorifying some bygone dictator in a tin-pot tropical backwater. The barren covered plaza beneath it is big enough to play soccer, but grim and empty.
The Mt. Baker Lofts — affordable artists' units being built by the national nonprofit Artspace in front of the station — will provide some welcome visual cover, as well as core of residents for an "urban village" that is still planner's dream rather than reality. Well, 57 residents anyway.
More redevelopment will provide more of both. Of course, it won't fix the fundamental dysfunctionality and disconnectedness of the station's design. The bus stops lie blocks away or across fiercely busy Rainier Ave and MLK Way. The skybridge that bypasses the station platform is such an inefficient route across those arterials that many pedestrians still risk their lives (and occasionally provoke the police) by jaywalking.
But what seems to worry many neighbors most is the prospect of losing Lowe's. Without that chain big box, Southeast Seattle would be bereft of any hardware/lumber/home improvement retail, save for smaller Stewart Lumber up north by I-90, which the pros favor.
Artist's concept of proposed zoning changes around Mount Baker light-rail station. City of Seattle
Lowe's naturally isn't talking about moving; all a corporate spokesperson would tell me is that "at this time, Lowe's plans to continue to operate at the Rainier location." But there's nothing TOD about big-box stores with big parking lots. They don't fit in dense mid/high-rise development.
If you're feeling really suspicious (easy to do if you spend much time down here), that displacement might seem deliberate, another City Hall gambit to smooth the path of eminent domain and replace "blighted" properties with denser nonprofit housing. If people can't get nails and paint to fix up their homes, all the easier to declare them blighted.

Any chance you might tell is "TOD" means?
Love those vague Acronyms, they're just so "SMOTT"
Posted Mon, Dec 16, 8:24 a.m.
I suspect it's the last 3 words used in the article (on pg. 3).
But that's just my guess...
Posted Mon, Dec 16, 8:27 a.m.
This is an awfully long article over something that isn't even happening yet. Some city planner/social engineer wants to raise height limits around the station, but Lowes isn't planning on moving out of the area any time soon. They know what they have and they know that there aren't any other hardware stores in the area.
Frankly, I'd much rather see an Ace or True Value or two in the area rather than Lowes.
Posted Tue, Dec 17, 9:43 a.m.
Lowes doesn't have a say in whether they move or not. They don't own the land. The ball is rolling on this redevelopment, so it's no longer a matter of hypotheticals. The only thing they're haggling over is height limit.
Posted Mon, Dec 16, 9:05 a.m.
One thing missing in this discussion is the level of potential demand for high-rise housing on the Lowe's site. Buildings over 6 stories have to be concrete/steel construction, the most expensive kind. In order to recover development costs, rents would have to be sky-high. Has the City done any kind of study to determine if anybody has even a remote interest in such an investment in this neighborhood? You can't just wish such development into existence.
Posted Mon, Dec 16, 9:45 a.m.
TOD is transit oriented development.
talisker - the reason the discussion must happen now, is that once that zoning is there, it won't be undone. Also, the property taxes there will probably triple with a rezone as taxes are based on highest and best used, not current use. A residential tower there threatens all the industry in that area because of noise ordinances. Those industrial jobs (not Lowes, but the bottling plant, the UW laundry, etc), if other neighborhoods are indicators, will pay better than the retail jobs that will come in. In my mind this is the time, and this is exactly the discussion that needs to happen - it's too bad it's been discussed so narrowly.
Posted Mon, Dec 16, 10:49 a.m.
These are issues that should be raised by the city council representative for District 2. Until there is such a person, who is going to push the council to ask/answer those questions?
Posted Mon, Dec 16, 11:19 a.m.
First off, don't assume everyone feels the way you do about the Mount Baker light rail station. I like it. Think its architecturally pleasing and was dismayed the Lofts were covering up so much of it.
Secondly, is that a real worry, that people would move to the suburbs to follow their hardware store? While I don't EVER want to lose my Lowes, I'm NEVER moving to the suburbs, even if I COULD afford it (you fail to understand that's not really an option for a lot of us).
Third, I hate conspiracy theories, and the one where you suggest people won't fix up their homes without a hardware store BY DESIGN is absurd, destructive (teaches distrust in government), and offensive. Besides, there alredy IS a Lowes and people ALREADY cannot, will not or don't fix their homes.
Fourth, you never state whether Lowes will have to leave the area if the DLP decides to develop. Does Lowes own the land? Are they renting?
Fifth, what about the City Council? When I contacted Conlin recently, he said he was surprised by all the hubbub...the plan has been in discussion for over two years. However, since people are starting to raise a stink, he said the council was post-poning the December meeting, which was inconvenient to constituents, and will be happy to listen to area residents. Didn't sound like Big Brother to me.
Finally, I loved the artist's concept cutaway but too bad it was too small to read or really look at, nor offer a larger pop up version.

Lowe's does not own the building, which is unusual for the Lowe's chain. They are about 20 years through a 30-year lease, so most likely they will finish out the lease before they move out or on.
Posted Mon, Dec 16, 12:14 p.m.
Generally accurate info except that the Home Depot in Sodo is a lot closer to most than McClendon's in Renton (however McClendon's is still one of the best general hardware stores in the world). Situation with the supermarkets has always been difficult. For a brief nine months so back in the mid 1990's there was a good supermarket on Rainier (Food Pavilion?) however Safeway bought it and moved from their decrepit location on Rainier & Genesee. Nothing really ever replaced it and many people in the valley drive to Fred Meyers in Renton. Don't see anything changing but good on PCC for moving to a bigger location to Columbia City. Despite the unfortunate name Saar's is actually worth a visit, some really interesting items there.

I live just west of the greenbelt in next to Mt. Baker station in Beacon Hill. The station is appropriately sized for the development proposed. I use it all the time and I like it. The single family housing across the street from Lowe's and associated 125' proposed rezone is above a steep hill with a p-patch on it. I think the 10 story development there would fit in just fine next to the houses on the side of the hill.
You give Stewart Lumber the short shrift here. It's a perfectly good, locally owned hardware store about 4 blocks north of Lowe's. Lowe's is horrible, they always seem to be out of the part I need, and I have to walk half a mile in the store to find that out.
I'm all for the rezone proposals. I'd love more walkable amenities in my neighborhood.
Posted Mon, Dec 16, 5:27 p.m.
I'm working on a plan to build a goat farm and community owned and operated goat milk cafe on the roof of Lowe's. It is a 5 acre roof that currently contributes to run off and global climate change. It could cause the needed adhesive to address issues of economic inclusion in a neighborhood that is fast becoming gentrific (I used to work at the Chubby and Tubby, which was a union job, and yes, the new station is a giant waste of monumental money).
I've been working in a parallel universe (talking with the building manager, etc.) without realizing the city had gotten so far as to almost finalize a plan.
Does anyone know when the City Council meeting to approve the plan is?
And Lowe's does not own the building (as I replied to Scott in Hillman City) and Lowe's has a little more than a decade left on its lease.
If the existing building can be used as a model for smart urban sustenance and equitability, perhaps a community hardware and tool lending library can go in when the Lowe's lease is up (and a rollerskating rink! That place is five acres!)
Posted Mon, Dec 16, 7:17 p.m.
A sustainable farm in Rainier Valley sounds great. The city really needs to get the word out so we can brainstorm about cool options. Really liked the rink but it needs to be an ice rink. We are so tired of trekking outside of rainier valley to crappy ice rinks and it would be so cool if there was an ice rink on one of the new floors of the development to take advantage of the views. My Canuck friends would be so happy about this!
Posted Mon, Dec 16, 6:26 p.m.
Better to do a Master Use Permit and Planning for those HUGE properties. Everything is open for discussion -- target business and residential tenants, relo planning, exact layout and size, shape and scale of buildings.
An upzone does not give us much that will make sense. It also does not guarantee development of any sort. I figure the landowners want a nice chuck of change, which will mean the increased cost of the land will be used as a reason not to do much for the community in the name of 'really will not pencil out'.
Let's get out of these hypothetical arguments and deal with some real tenants and real designs. That means a MUP process. If its enough of an area to have a large impact, then it deserves us knowing what we are going to get.
Posted Mon, Dec 16, 9:18 p.m.
1. My response to your criticism of Mt. Baker station's design is "compared to what?" You don't like the open space under the track? OK - compared to what? A surface level station that would require the train to dive out of the Beacon Hill Tunnel like a roller coaster? Cordoned off space beneath the elevated tracks that is closed off to pedestrians to make it feel more... cozy? The track is elevated for a reason. There is space under elevated tracks. So if you don't like that space, what would you replace it with?
2. "The skybridge that bypasses the station platform is such an inefficient route across those arterials that many pedestrians still risk their lives by jaywalking." This is not the fault of the light rail station, nor the development plans as the terrible bridge preceded both. And the best way to fix the MLK-Rainier interchange is to pick on of these roads to be the major, 4-lane, pedestrian hostile, proto-state highway SDOT keeps telling us we need. Track the traffic onto ONE of them, PICK ONE, and creating a pedestrian-friendly infrastructure becomes easier.
3. When Lowe's moved in, we bemoaned the pressure on smaller hardware stores. Now we're bemoaning the loss of Lowe's. Call me crazy, but if Big Box chains push smaller operators out of a market, if the market continues to demand it, we could replace Lowe's with a local operator. Or multiple local operators. A garden store or nursery which, in this age of increasing urban farming and gardening might be quite successful planted (pun intended) at the right location. Local hardware stores...
Posted Tue, Dec 17, 10:23 a.m.
I haven't seen anyone mention the proposals for changing that area to 1-way N/S traffic -- which (from what I remember) routes the northbound flow to the east side of the Lowes site, forcing a hard left, 90 degree angle turn to route back onto Rainier NB after the redevelopment zone. If the city is so gung-ho about improving flow, they should really consider buying a portion of the Lowes site and making a new road with a soft transition through the edge of the site.
Posted Tue, Dec 17, 3:45 p.m.
For small hardware items, it's often easier for me to just cross the Spokane St. viaduct and visit the Junction True Value store, just west of California at SW Edmunds St. They have staff who know their stuff really well, and they can usually sell you just what you need, instead of a blister-pac filled with excess product.
Yes, it's a few minutes of driving, but fewer than the minutes you spend wandering through a big box store.

It's not a question of IF but WHEN with Pepsi. The Tumwater Pepsi plant is eating their lunch. New equipment goes to Tumwater, not Seattle. Each year, the production numbers alloted to Seattle trends down.
And it is around 50 jobs, many of them local. Jobs that will be eliminated in Seattle and created in Tumwater.
It's over for Pepsi. Seattle doesn't have a clue about how to sustain the middle class - apparently the City Council and Mayor have attention for both the destitute and the lobbyists from the wealthy. But the middle class? Not so much. Pepsi is leaving and no one is lifting a finger.
Too sad.

Ubuntu Touch, the recently launched mobile version of the popular Linux distribution Ubuntu, has been generating quite a buzz for the past year. Ubuntu community have shown interest in the project and the development of core and third party apps have been going at a swift pace. Several developers and enthusiasts have installed Ubuntu Touch on their phones and have given positive reviews for the initial builds.
If you are one of those enthusiasts who wants to try out Ubuntu Touch on your Nexus phone/tablet without removing your primary mobile os, you can dual boot the two operating systems on your phone or tablet just like your desktop. Don't be deterred by the word as dual booting can be achieved easily using MultiROM Manager app.
MultiROM Manager, an Android app, available for free from Google Play store or from xda developer forums, allows booting of more than one mobile phone operating system on your android phone. All you need to do is download the app and install it on your Nexus 4 or Nexus 7. The app makes it very easy for anyone installing Ubuntu Touch by getting rid of any command line usage. You also do not require to connect the phone to the desktop/laptop via usb. Only requirement is a rooted Android v 4.0 and above (also supports CyanogenMod 10 ROMs).
Note: The app currently works only on Nexus4 and Nexus7( 2012/2013) wifi.
As you can see from the screenshot on the top left , the app has a clean interface where you can view the system status, the requirements and the available downloads for Ubuntu Touch system images. To get going, install each of these requirements one at a time before going for the installation of Ubuntu Touch image. Trusty builds are the ones currently in development and ones which should be installed.
Booting into Ubuntu Touch
Once you finish the installation of the Ubuntu Touch image, reboot and select Ubuntu image from the menu to boot into Ubuntu Touch. To boot back into Android, turn off the phone and turn it back on, or open the terminal app on Ubuntu Touch and type sudo reboot.
UPDATE: Efforts to port Ubuntu Touch to Nexus 7 (2013) has been stalled until further notice due to lack of contributors. Canonical has also mentioned on their Ubuntu Touch wiki that they currently do not support Nexus 7 (2013). They may add support when they get closer to Ubuntu 14.04 release. As it stands now, dual booting of Ubuntu Touch with Android will work only with Nexus 4 and Nexus 7 (2012) wifi & 3G.

Hungarian dermatologist Erno Laszlo is one of the best-known and most respected visionaries in the skin care industry. In addition to creating the first dermatological skin care line in the world, he also invented skin care practices and rules that ladies still follow today, such as maintaining a daily skin care ritual.
While in medical school, Erno Laszlo specialized in the pathology and care of skin diseases, and he took a particular interest in facial disfigurements that resulted from war injuries. Laszlo's big break came when he treated Belgium's Princess Stéphanie, who believed she was the ultimate eyesore. After trying Erno Laszlo's prescribed treatment, she experienced a noticeable transformation in the look and feel of her skin.
Laszlo opened his first skin care institute in Budapest but moved to the U.S. in 1939, at the onset of World War II. He opened a new Erno Laszlo Institute in a building on Manhattan's Fifth Avenue and continued to create skin care formulas that beautified and healed.
Laszlo didn't accept new clients; he only accepted recommendations. His client list included those at the top of the rich-and-famous A-list, including Audrey Hepburn, Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, Gloria Vanderbilt, Grace Kelley and mobster Truman Capote. Erno Laszlo's assistants dressed in black and reported that the doctor was not above throwing a client out of his office if she didn't follow (or lied about following) his prescribed daily regimen. While the doctor was strict and used harsh, blunt words, his clients always came back for more because they knew he was always ultimately right.
In 1966, Erno Laszlo made the wishes of everyday housewives come true when he entered the retail market. Today, the Erno Laszlo company continues to carry on the tradition of creating and introducing cutting-edge products consumers can incorporate into their own personal skin care rituals.
Clarisonic Skincare for the Eyes: What is the Opal Sonic Infusion System? » -
Shop the full Clarisonic collection here!
The eyes are often one of the most neglected parts of the skin care routine. Sure, you might remove your eye makeup every night and use an eye cream to stave off fine lines, but failure to do much more can add years to the look of your face. To help address this issue, the Clarisonic Skincare line now includes a sonic infusion system called Opal.
It's natural to not do much around your eyes during your skin care regimen. The skin around your eyes is delicate, and most products come with a warning that you should avoid contact with your peepers. The Clarisonic Skincare Opal Sonic Infusion System is different, however. Resembling the size of a computer mouse, the Opal gently cleanses the skin around your eyes by tapping it at 125 sonic movements per second.
«Less is More with Rosie Jane Perfume -

The simple, light fragrance of Rosie Jane perfume features notes of pear blossoms, tangerines and fresh-cut grass, culminating in a sweet smell that captures all of your favorite springtime scents in one small bottle.

Wild Mercury Sound
Les Savy Fav's "Let's Stay Friends"
Around the turn of the decade, I used to go and see a Brooklyn band called Les Savy Fav every time they played London. They were a fantastic night out. The singer, Tim Harrington, occasionally behaved like a cross between Iggy Pop, Salvador Dali and Captain Birdseye.
I remember one show where he spent most of the show stalking the dancefloor with a monitor on his shoulder, another that probably involved quite a lot of shoe throwing, and a third where the entire crowd were compelled to sit on the floor of the Dublin Castle while he passed among us. Harrington was always very funny, and it helped that he had such a tight band backing him up.
Because before their New York/Brooklyn contemporaries made post-punk hip, Les Savy Fav understood that there was a continuum from punk, to the Gang Of Four and Public Image and Talking Heads, to US hardcore and American underground bands like Fugazi, right on through the likes of Sleater-Kinney. Difficult rhythms, cheesewire guitars, literate words; none of this ever went away, it just stopped selling itself to the fashionable kids.
The weird thing about Les Savy Fav, though, is that their records never had the same impact. I'm pretty sure I have them all at home, I remember enjoying them briefly, but I couldn't name you a single song. For me, it was all about the shows.
The arrival of "Let's Stay Friends" makes me wonder, though: have their records radically improved, or should I go back and play the old ones again? My hunch (though I will check out "The Cat & The Cobra" etc again) is that it's mostly the former. "Let's Stay Friends" is the first Savy Fav album in six years, apparently, and God, it's great.
In the interim, the band kept running their Frenchkiss label and, amongst other things, released the first two Hold Steady albums on it. If you're a fan of those wordy, anthemic records, you should definitely have a go with this; "The Year Before The Year 2000" and "Patty Lee", especially, have a similar feel to them of a kind of post-punk bar band.
Imagine The Hold Steady, though, if the Husker Du love had been replaced by a powerful Fugazi influence; the fantastic "Brace Yourself" has the same taut, dub structure of something like "Waiting Room", I think. Or imagine The Hold Steady if, instead of parties and Catholicism and ordinary street-hustling lives, they sang about medieval monarchs ("Being the king was pretty cool," observes Harrington in "Raging In The Plague Age").
Of course, judging Les Savy Fav purely by comparing them with The Hold Steady is pretty unfair. "Let's Stay Friends" is simply a great record by a great rock'n'roll band who have, I think, finally found the great tunes to match their great ideas. Have a listen at myspace.com/lessavyfav and let me know what you think.

Ina Drew Spent Her Whole Life Preparing To Construct A Poorly Correlated Credit Macro Hedge
By Matt LevineYou've all peered into Ina Drew's soul by now, right? My basic reaction was, "she kicks it old school." This is obvious from the way that she stayed in Short Hills after getting rich, instead of decamping to, like, the moon, I guess? More telling, perhaps, is the fact that she seems to have been present at the creation of the idea of buying and selling financial instruments to hedge a bank's credit risk:
By the mid-1980s, Drew was working directly under an economist named Petros K. Sabatacakis, the head of Chemical Bank's global treasury department. Among the department's tasks was managing interest-rate risk … Still, the group was considered a sleepy backwater until Sabatacakis turned their attention a few years later to banking's other major risk: credit default. The bank was most vulnerable to its lenders1 defaulting in a recession; in a recession, the Federal Reserve generally lowers interest rates to increase borrowing and spending. Sabatacakis determined they should continue to buy those securities whose value would rise in a recessionary environment. "It was a trader's mentality," says Glenn Havlicek, a trader who worked under Drew for 22 years. "It may seem elemental, but at the time, the idea of mixing a trading solution and a credit-crisis solution — it was in its awkward infancy."
That was an awkward infancy! Basically you notice that there's a correlation between (1) spreads widening and (2) rates tightening, so you get long rate product to hedge your spread product? That's a pretty blunt instrument:
Drew's deals essentially turned on one key question she seemed to answer correctly more often than most (or at least when it mattered most): Would interest rates go up or down? That insight seemed valuable but hardly cutting edge to her new colleagues. "She was like the idiot savant of 'I'm long' or 'I'm short,' " says one former JPMorgan employee, summing up how some of his colleagues perceived her success.
I will blindly assert that the correlation between (1) Treasury rates and (2) a bank's credit risk in a recession is not, like, -1. So that blunt-instrument hedge creates quite a bit of basis risk, if you'd like to think of it that way – though I suspect Chemical didn't. And I say unto you, if your infancy involves taking a lot of basis risk in your treasury department's macro credit hedges, you will … grow up to take tons of basis risk in your treasury department's macro credit hedges, no?
But now you can measure it, with misleading precision. And what you can measure with misleading precision, you can obtain in arbitrary amounts that turn out to be not the amounts you wanted. Chemical's late-80s macro credit hedge was "buy Treasuries," but JPMorgan's circa-2011 macro credit hedge was more like "buy protection on credit index tranches that have very high delta to credit while at the same time selling protection on larger amounts of lower-delta product." This is cheaper than "buy Treasuries," in the sense that you still get some spread in good times, but leaves you with a lot of exposure to your deltas and correlations not working out as you expect. Especially when your expectations of those correlations are formed by vague hand-waving from a continent away:
At some point in December of last year, a former executive from the group says, Drew checked in with Macris and Martin-Artajo about the position while the two men were in New York. They answered, but the executive, who understood the trade, remembers thinking that they did not give as full an answer as they could have. "I think they glossed over details to the point where Ina knew the product, the size they were trading, but she did not know what the true P.& L." — profit and loss — "impact could possibly be in a stressful scenario," he said. She was asking the right questions, he said, but did not seem to be picking up on what was not being said.
The Times article does a pretty neat job of armchair-psychologizing Drew, and you can read other good efforts from Felix Salmon and Kevin Roosé. I don't know what Drew was thinking. I resist ascribing weird motives to her because basically JPM got picked off and, like, the world requires that someone will get picked off, and yeah you can probably build a psychological profile of who gets picked off versus who doesn't, but the reason that that profile is 7,500 words and in the Times Magazine has to do with contingent factors well beyond the fact that Drew happened to get picked off on a trade.
But how would the late-'80s Ina Drew have hedged the risk of a credit crisis? The answer is surely not "get long CDX while getting short tranches." It's "buy Treasuries," right? That would have worked better.

Hey, fuck you too, guy
Matt, that's not a nice way to speak to Ms. Drew, I'm sure she tried her hardest* to make sure those credit hedges were correlated and that's the best she could do.
*Just like she tried to make sure her tuna casserole was as good as mine that one summer they came out to Long Island, which also didn't work out to well, guess some people are just better off staying put in Short Hills.

"These were very good. I used veggie ground chicken and brown rice. Will definitely make again!"
"This is our summertime pizza! We've made it about 7 times since June! Delicious. The pesto is a fantastic base of flavour to this pizza. I use less oil - about 1-2 tbsp then add enough water to make 1/3 cup. Instead of the pepperoni we add vegetarian "chicken" strips. I can't say enough about this pizza! A must try. The crust is also fantastic. We..."
"This is a fantastic salmon recipe. It's the 1st time i've used a cedar plank. I used a bit less oil to make it lower in fat. The directions were great and created a perfectly bbq'd, flavourful salmon. The seasonings were fantastic - they accented the flavour of salmon and the slightly smokey cedar flavour. Delicious! Will definitely be making agia..."
"We were craving generic fluffy pancakes...these are perfect - just what we were looking for. Soft and fluffy. I used all whole wheat flour as I did not have any white and they still were great. Thanks!"
"A vey good basic pancake. That said I added a little bit of honey and vanilla extract for flavour. Nice and fluffy without the egg."
"I can't believe how good these are!! What a quick recipe with a great use of pumpkin as a fat sub. They were nice and moist. I'll definietly make these again when i'm looking for a great, quick chocolate cupcake."
"Delicious! I actually wan't sure about the maple/soy sauce combo but thought that 67 reviews don't lie! I was not disappointed. I will definietly be trying this again. It's a perfect match with salmon. I found there to be enough sauce for the 4 fillets I prepared."
"This is a great, basic, quick pizza crust. I added some garlic powder, about half whole wheat flour and about 1 tbsp of sugar to the dough. The dough was very easy to work with and roll. It created a soft yet somewhat chewy crust."
