Emailaholics Reveal Their Habits 95
from the wonder-which-group-i'm-in dept.
We've improved Slashdot's video section; now you can view our video interviews, product close-ups and site visits with all the usual Slashdot options to comment, share, etc. No more walled garden! It's a work in progress -- we hope you'll check it out (Learn more about the recent updates).
My email habits change very frequently. Where do I fit in?
You should start by admitting you have a problem.
"I'm an emailaholic. I drink 4 bottles of emailahol every day."
If you were an emailaholic you'd be drinking a fifth of emailahol a day - not showing up for work, getting fired, ruining your relationships, having an email in the morning to get going, just one big fucking nightmare of a life.

Zomg, this description fits my mother to a T!- wait... she does still have a job... but she stays up about four hours past her bedtime to do email...
These groups are pretty stable: roughly 75% of users stay in the same group over a 2 year period.
My email habits change very frequently. Where do I fit in?
You fit into the other 25%.
...except with booze instead of email.
(apologies to The Onion)
That's really intersting.
I'm not sure how it would be used to prevent spam though, unless it is used on the system sending the spam.
After all, how do you know a) which group a person fits in, and b) what time it is where they are?
Also, what do you do about people who work night shifts, and thus don't fit into one of the patterns?
If this finds widespread use, it won't last long anyway:
The spambots will start keeping regular working hours
So basically anybody that uses e-mail outside of working hours is an "emailholic"? Doesn't that include pretty much every person who has a computer at home?
So where does my old supervisor fit in? I'd send him a paper/book chapter/thesis at midnight and he'd send me revisions by 4 am.
According to the article that makes both of you spambots.
So? That's nothing special. Anyone with half a brain knows that machines have been posting on
Or maybe that explains that line in the data from x=0100,y=0100 to x=0800,y=0800. People who email 24 hours a day, and never sleep.
So basically anybody that uses e-mail outside of working hours is an "emailholic"? Doesn't that include pretty much every person who has a computer at home?
Well, from the PDF linked on arxiv [arxiv.org]:
The cascading non-homogeneous Poisson process we present is motivated by two key observations: first, individuals send e-mail during "sessions" of relatively high activity that are separated by periods of inactivity during which no emails are sent; and second, the likelihood of commencing an active session is modulated by daily and weekly cycles. For convenience, we define the start and end of a session by the first and last e-mails sent in that session respectively. We define an individual as "active" if they are in an e-mail session, where the time between consecutive e-mails within each session is modeled as a homogeneous Poisson process with intra-session rate p_a. Correspondingly, we define an individual as "passive" if they are between e-mail sessions, where the time between sessions is modeled as a non-homogeneous Poisson process with inter-session rate p(t), which explicitly accounts for daily and weekly cycles of activity.
The paper seems to identify when you're in a session and when you're not and also extrapolates these cycles not only to days but also to times of the week.
While it's not very useful, it my be interesting to behaviorists or some field I know nothing about. It's always dangerous to grab a graph from a paper with no explanation at all of what it is showing.
So basically anybody that uses e-mail outside of working hours is an "emailholic"? Doesn't that include pretty much every person who has a computer at home?
The paper seems to identify when you're in a session and when you're not and also extrapolates these cycles not only to days but also to times of the week.
So anyone who has an e-mail capable smartphone and therefore doesn't engage in "sessions" is an "emailholic"?
They are less likely to be using Yahoo for their email than the general population.
And the clip where it's taken from:

Is the "aholic" suffix really any worse than "-gate" for any scandal?

Clearly an aholicaholic.

You sound like another email abuser who is in denial about your habit. You are in stage 3 of your addiction (Ref. Addictions Anonymous, 12: The Stages of Addiction and Recovery [thecheers.org]).
My habit is not checking my email often enough. I tend to miss important messages like "today's class moved to room 3207".
Oh, so *that's* why nobody showed up.
I need to find a 9" wireless touch screen that will link to my computer. Just mount the touch screen in the can and life will be golden.
There are some people who are addicted to sobriety. They can't seem to be able to live a normal life without being sobre, and can't imagine another way of living. Adolf Hitler was one of those people who suffered from compulsive sobriety. Sobriety is one of the hidden mental illnesses, and AFAIK is not even recognized as a mental illness by the World Health Organization et al.
Is this actually a thing? It's a very interesting idea -- I'm someone who I guess is "addicted to sobreity", except for coffee. I'd like to read about it is all.
Thanks if you reply,
Is this actually a thing? It's a very interesting idea -- I'm someone who I guess is "addicted to sobreity", except for coffee. I'd like to read about it is all.
It is, AFAIK a mental illness, based on the logic and experiences that I've read about addictions in general. I'm no expert on addiction or psychology, but I do have a social science background and I'm pretty keen at analyzing logic, so yep, I would say so. Of course you, or anybody else shouldn't take my word for it. Come to your own conclusions and keep an open mind. Be intelligent and skeptical at anything you observe.
Of course anything can be addictive, whether it be alcohol, chocolate, heroine, caffei
Hmm, it seems that (from your point of view) this sobretism is inexplicably linked with evangelism. However, it doesn't appear to me at least that this is a necessary criterion for other addictions. Is this the defining characteristic?
Sorry for such short responses -- I study mathematics, not social science, so I'm not so great with writing long texts.
(a lot of friends I formerly had were "straight edge", and some were pretty fanatical. Most were mellow, cool guys but, but others...hmm)
First off, I will make this very explicit; "sobrietism" is a word I pretty much invented. It's just an elaboration on the concept of "addiction". The main idea being that people can be psychologically addicted to anything. At the very least you can think of this idea as a concept. Logically (to me at least) it makes sense and explains the psychological mindset of prohibitionists and people in general who want to control other people (in this case the control variable who be alcohol or any mind/mood altering
Is the "aholic" suffix really any worse
It's a grammargate!
But then again, I'm a lexivorous linguaholic...
Is the "aholic" suffix really any worse than "-gate" for any scandal?
So... is that why Bill's last name starts with gate? Hmm... certainly explains what he's doing with Microsoft, I suppose...
When I was a student we still corresponded with one another using paper and ink. There was none of this fancy computerized email. It was all email by hand back then, and if you were lucky, maybe your parents would foot the bill for a quill.
But the key here is not the manner in which we wrote each other. Rather, it is simply that living in the isolated world of "university life", we had totally different writing habits than those who lived in the "real world".
Take, for instance, the frequency of our letters. While I could average a good 4 or 5 letters per evening, it was because my workload was such that it permitted much more free time than the work-a-day man could ever hope to enjoy. Between classes and quaffing pints of ale, we still had plenty of time to enjoy each others' companionship, even if only through the quill.
Now, with real work and real timelines to meet, I find that I have very little extra time to sit down to write a letter out by hand.
I was a full time college student for 14 years (and no degree. Darn my medium term attention deficit disorder!) but find that my worditoudinous output has increased, now that I have a boring job but decent computer setups. Not doing so much email, though I do manage 20 or so messages a day. Most of my output is on forum and blog sites. Would be interesting to record how many words/day I'm spewing upon a helpless world.
The first group, "day labororers", tend to send emails throughout the normal working day between 0900 and 1800... "emailaholics" tend to send emails throughout the waking hours from 0900 to 0100....the technique can also be used to spot spambots which do not fit into either group
That means that I am a spam bot. I've always hated being labeled.
I sometimes find myself logging into my email purely as a reflex action. Typing 'ma' in the url bar then down arrow once to highlight mail.yahoo.com, and typing my username and password in before I even realize that I'm doing it.
I wish there was a yahoo email monitor that worked through the system tray. There's a widget, but it sits on the desktop and I hate having things permanently sitting in front of my other windows.
I don't know about Yahoo, but with Gmail and others, you can set up pop or imap in Thunderbird, Outlook, etc. I'm sure you could find widgets to work with this setup.
Hmm.. I completely forgot about YM. Back when I used the yahoo chat rooms I only used yahelite. I forget what turned me off of YM in the first place, but I think it was limited to the chat rooms. I think it might have been the huge frickin ads taking up half the window.
Well, what does ist really reveal? People over 40 are more likely to still use snail mail instead of email for private communication and only use e-mail during work? Not that interesting... please move along....
I can't help sending millions of people email about the virtues of \/1a6ra.
I'm a emailaholic and need protection by the Americans With Disabilities Act.
I recognize those two clusters, but there is a another big cluster in my own social network: People who only check their e-mail once a day (or less).
I myself cannot comprehend such behavior.
If you don't restrict your e-mailing to regular work hours, you're an "emailaholic"? What a steaming pile of crap!
I answer e-mail when I get around to it, and that's often outside of regular work hours (unless it's from the boss and requires an immediate response, of course). If I was somehow addicted to e-mail, the 353 unread, non-spam messages currently awaiting my attention would be getting dealt with right now. Yet here I am, futzing around on Slashdot when I should have my nose firmly against the
If you don't restrict your e-mailing to regular work hours, you're an "emailaholic"?
Indeed, and having a smartphone changes one's habits too. I may not look at it for hours if I have something interesting going on, but if I am just lounging around I may respond the moment I hear my iPhone ding. I'm not constantly looking it, but my mail is always within reach. Some might classify that as addiction, but I just see it as a matter of convenience and extending people the courtesy of responding quickly if I am free when their message comes in.
I hate it when science stories - in any media or site, not just
They excluded people that use email almost entirely for receiving automated notifications. Replies to a Slashdot post (cue the dozen posts intended to just trigger the notification...), forum thread, calendar events, Word of the Day...
Pretty much the only emails I send are FailBlog pictures to a sibling every few weeks.
Since I rarely use email 9-5 (internal IM and other tech has mostly replaced it for work) I usually only look at my personal email a couple times each evening, usually when I'm home from work, and shortly before I go to bed.
Since I don't fall into either of their groups, I'd be considered a spam-bot. Which I guess wouldn't be a target market for other spam, so maybe that isn't such a bad thing.
No problem is so large it can't be fit in somewhere.

Some people deserve a really special gift. If there's a gal on your list who is very deserving, the Frosted Pines Hat from Knits Gifts 2013 is just the thing.
It's special hat is knit in two-layers. It has a beautiful lace outer shell and a contrasting-color stockinette lining. It's feminine and really warm. This design uses corrugated ribbing split into two separately worked layers, which are then joined at the crown. The slouchy style looks good on everyone.Here's designer Corrina Ferguson to tell you how to work this hat.Knitting the Frosted Pines Hat
The corrugated ribbing for the Frosted Pines Hat is worked on the smaller needles using both colors. Before you can continue to work the hat layers individually, the colors must be divided. The green (contrast-color—CC) stitches will be the stockinette-stitch lining of the hat and will be held to the back or inside of the work.
The cream (main-color—MC) stitches will be the lace overlay for the hat and will be held to the front or outside of the work. Once you finish the corrugated ribbing, thread your tapestry needle with a brightly contrasting length of waste yarn in the same weight. A smooth yarn without mohair or other grabby fibers works best. The piece of yarn should be at least 2 feet long—long enough to encircle the entire hat with some room to spare.
After the hat has been completed, the two layers are reattached by simply drawing the end of the MC yarn through the center of the CC lining. Weaving in the ends on the inside of the lining lets the lining and the overlay stay perfectly in place.
—Corrina Ferguson, from Interweave Knits Gifts 2013
I think this hat is absolutely beautiful. It's an interesting knit, the kind we all need to attempt from time to time. So learn something new! Get your copy of Knits Gifts and knit the Frosted Pines Hat for someone special on your gift list.Cheers,
P.S. Are you working on a project that requires some new skills? Tell us about it below in the comments!
I've made a hat and a cowl using the 'Inside Out Double Knitting' (IODK) technique and like the look of both. To me, IODK is easier than traditional Double Knitting!
Does the magazine have the actual pattern? or is it just the general idea of how to do something like this?
I'm doing double knitting with a pattern for a scarf that the pattern describes almost exactly as this pattern does. So instead of separating the two layers they're knit at the same time. It's working up to be wonderful. I may try doing the same technique with a lace/stockinette hat and see what happens.!

Does Sen. Marco Rubio believe in climate change? Based on what he told me an interview with ABC's "This Week" and his comments Tuesday at the National Press Club the answer is yes – but he doesn't think lawmakers can do anything about it because he does not believe human activity is a major contributor to the earth's changing climate.
Here's what the Florida Republican said at the National Press Club: "There is climate change. The issue is not whether the climate is changing, as it always is changing. The issue is whether there is legislative proposals before us that could do anything about it."
Does that contradict anything he told me on "This Week"? No.
He was explicit in his interview on "This Week" that he doubts scientists who say human activity is a primary driver of climate change, saying, "I do not believe that human activity is causing these dramatic changes to our climate the way these scientists are portraying it."
But he did not dispute evidence that the earth's climate is changing – he was simply taking issue with the cause of that change. In fact, Rubio told me directly climate is changing – and always has been changing. Here's one exchange:
RUBIO: I don't agree with the notion that some are putting out there, including scientists, that somehow, there are actions we can take today that would actually have an impact on what's happening in our climate. Our climate is always changing. And what they have chosen to do is take a handful of decades of research and — and say that this is now evidence of a longer-term trend that's directly and almost solely attributable to man-made activity…
KARL: You don't buy…
RUBIO: I do not agree with that.
Rubio spokesman Alex Conant tells me Rubio stands by that.

Steve Jobs: Apple would embrace DRM-free music 'in a heartbeat'Apple chief executive Steve Jobs on Tuesday called upon the "big four" music companies to drop their anti-piracy restrictions and allow digital music tracks to be sold openly on the Internet for any brand of digital music player.
In a letter titled "Thoughts on Music" posted on Apple's website, Jobs addressed calls for the company to "open" the digital rights management (DRM) system that it uses to protect its music against theft, so that music purchased from iTunes can be played on digital devices purchased from other companies and vice versa.
Jobs said that one of the key provision of Apple's agreements with the music companies is that it repair breaches to its FairPlay DRM system promptly, a task which would prove "near impossible" should the company take the route of licensing the technology to multiple parties.
"If our DRM system is compromised and their music becomes playable on unauthorized devices, we have only a small number of weeks to fix the problem or they can withdraw their entire music catalog from our iTunes store," he wrote.
Of similar concern, said Jobs, is that licensing a DRM involves disclosing some of its secrets to many people in many companies, which would inevitably produce leaks.
"The Internet has made such leaks far more damaging, since a single leak can be spread worldwide in less than a minute," he wrote. "Such leaks can rapidly result in software programs available as free downloads on the Internet which will disable the DRM protection so that formerly protected songs can be played on unauthorized players."
As a result, Jobs said that Apple has concluded that if it licenses FairPlay to others, "it can no longer guarantee to protect the music it licenses from the big four music companies." A more suitable alternative, he said, would be to abolish DRMs entirely, creating a world where every online store sells DRM-free music that would play on any digital music player from any company.
"This is clearly the best alternative for consumers, and Apple would embrace it in a heartbeat," Jobs wrote. "If the big four music companies would license Apple their music without the requirement that it be protected with a DRM, we would switch to selling only DRM-free music on our iTunes store."

PITTSBURGH - DECEMBER 06: Ben Roethlisberger #7 of the Pittsburgh Steelers celebrates a second quarter touchdown while playing the Oakland Raiders on December 6, 2009 at Heinz Field in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. (Photo by Gregory Shamus/Getty Images)
The Pittsburgh Steelers have altered the look of their offense after struggling at times last season to simply get first downs. Roethlisberger caught some flak last season for ripping Todd Haley's offense, and calling it a "dink and dunk offense." Haley got the hint, changed some things about the system, and according to the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review, Big Ben is loving the new offense. "There's been some changes this offseason in some of the offensive philosophies, playbook and some things that I think are good," Roethlisberger said as he began his 10th season with the team. "It's some compromise from all the different position coaches, the running back coaches, the line, and quarterback coaches. I think we've taken a little bit of everything and made it a lot better." He added, "You can ask anybody on offense that, including coaches, and they'll tell you that we all like the way the offense is and where it's going." Steelers assistant coaches were off-limits to the media yesterday, so Haley could not address the changes himself.

New to Typophile? Accounts are free, and easy to set up.
I recently needed to recreate some lettering on some 1970s electronic studio equipment, but could not for love or money identify the typeface used in the equipment name/logo. I've since recreated the letters I needed, about 20 in all, but I'd still like to know if one of you might identify it for me.
If this has never been digitized I might be interested in finishing what I have already started and putting it out there as a revival font. See what you think.
Found a couple of similars:
a. Bold, but no break... Tepid Monkey/MonoglycerideExtraBold
b. Regular weight with break...
-1. claude p/Simplement http://abfonts.freehostia.com/simplement.htm
-2. Character: Cutin http://abfonts.freehostia.com/cutin.htm
Thanks, Dick.
The page at abfonts you linked to says the following: "Cutin" is Cut-in Medium on page 163 of The Solotype Catalog of 4,147 Display Typefaces. Apparently "Cut-In" was released by Letraset in at least Medium and Bold weights. So at least now I have a name–but no information on a designer.
The font called "Simplement" that you linked seems to be a pretty nicely done digitization of the Medium weight, updated with additional characters and most common diacritics, though there are no kerning pairs. I wonder why this one has slipped though the cracks in terms of digitization and release. I'm not going to go searching for a complete source of now, but this might be one to keep on the backburner for later consideration. Might be nice to see a good rendition of the family. Perhaps Old Nick will give it a go.
Your letters seem to match Cutin Bold by Letraset. The character-set is shown in the old Letraset Product Manual for 1985, and probably for other years. Just the upper and lower case [multiple versions of _C_ (5), _E_ (5), _S_ (2), _c_ (6), _e_ (4), _s_ (2), _y_ (2), and _z_ (2)], numbers, German double s [ß and ss], ampersand, dollar [simplified from regular], pound, and basic punctuation.
Thanks, Don. My hunt for a mid-80's Letraset catalogue continues. Alas, no luck so far.
Claude can perhaps be called a font hobbyist where he can pick and choose where and how to spend his efforts based on interesting ideas. He can be found on alt. binaries.fonts forum.
My understanding Character digitized Cutin from images provided by Claude so perhaps you could ask him directly.
I will scan & post.
look forward to your font
Thank you, Don!

Wacky Warning Light
courtesy of Bob, The Auto Answer Man
Dear Bob,
I have a 1995 Plymouth Voyager Van with about 85,000 miles on it. Lately the check engine light has been coming on. I have brought it to the garage and after they charge me $59.00 to run diagnostics, they say they could not find anything.
It seems to occur when I am doing hwy driving between 65 and 70 mph. If I don't go this fast, I will get run over!! But if I get to my destination, turn off the car for awhile, then drive again, it goes away (meaning it does not come back on). Any suggestions?
Gail K.
Any time the light comes on, a code is stored in the onboard computer. A code scanner is used to retrieve these codes and inform a technician where the fault is located. If they are not able to retrieve the codes, then either their equipment is faulty or the computer on your car is faulty. Next time the light comes on, do not shut the car off. Rather, take it directly to the dealer and have them retrieve the codes. Good Luck!
Drive Safely!

Curtain Call: GLAMGLOW YOUTHMUD Tinglexfoliate Treatment
Hey guys! How are things looking for 2015 so far? I'm back at work today and it seems to be shaping up for a busy year. I couldn't get the Bath & Body Works Sweet Shop Collection 3-wick candles out of my head so I proceeded to call every single White Barn store listed. No bueno though. I can only hope that they're bringing it back this year since I missed out on that collection. I got into candles very late into the game (like early December last year). Today's segment of Curtain Call covers a product that came in my ipsy November 2013 Glam Bag. It's on my face as I write this. Here's my take on the GLAMGLOW YOUTHMUD Tinglexfoliate Treatment.
At 1.7 fl oz / 50 g, this retails for $69 wherever sold. It's a pretty high price point for a clay mask in my opinion. I received the 0.5 fl oz / 15 g one from ipsy. The description on their website reads the following:
"Originally designed as a 10-minute professional 'facial in a jar' for behind-the-scenes use in Hollywood's Entertainment, Music, Fashion & Award industries. YOUTHMUD® provides gentle resurfacing exfoliation and helps to leave skin smoother, brighter, and softer resulting in immediate camera-ready glowing skin. For Men & Women of All Ages & All Skin Types. Get your Youthful Sexy Glow back in just 10 minutes. YOUTHMUD® for Super Sexy Super Radiant Skin."
Verdict? The first time I tried it….I felt that it worked but not to my expectations based on what others have raved about. But now that I've used it a few times (about 4 from this small size), I'm ready to give it a fair and thorough review. I washed my face and dried it before applying a thin layer onto it. I can feel the skin on my face tightening as it dries. I do get the tingling sensation, which I find pleasant. The smell is earthy and minty at the same time — herbal I would say. I wait until almost every part of where I applied it to has dried up before I wash my face. When it dries, the dark grey color of the mask changes to a light grey. I can see a few spots where there are dark grey spots and this is how you know it works (it sucks out the oil from the pores). I then proceed to wash my face in a circular motion, scrubbing it every so slightly. It comes off pretty easy and I pat dry with a clean towel before applying face moisturizer. The only thing I didn't like as much (okay, I hated this the first time I used it) is the presence of leaf particles and twigs. In the small tube I got, there was a decent amount of it. I like clay masks but prefer those that are smooth in texture or just not have chunky particles in it. I always wash my face at the kitchen sink when I use this. I didn't want the stuff to clog up my master bathroom sink. Back to what didn't meet my expectations the first time I used this, I have a stubborn blackhead right on my hairline near the forehead that wouldn't go away. I even bruised the area once by trying to remove it by squeezing it (which you should never do). It is gone now! I think I didn't leave it on long enough on that spot when I used it for the first time so it didn't get a chance to suck up the gunk from the blackhead. I'm a believer, but only when it goes on sale. It's priced a little too high for me to use it on a regular basis.
This product can easily be purchased on their website here or at various retailers such as Sephora, Lord & Taylor, Neiman Marcus, and Dillard's.
Curtain Call: Jergens BB Body Perfecting Skin Cream
Today's segment of Curtain Call covers a product that came in the Target 2014 Spring Beauty Box. I was very apprehensive about this being that I thought it was more of a gimmick with the play on BB creams for face.
At 7.5 fl oz / 221 ml, this retails for $11.99 or so wherever sold. I'd be curious to find out if this brand goes on sale regularly in any of the stores that carries it as that's a pretty high price point for a body cream in my opinion. I received the 2 fl oz / 59 ml one. The back of the tube packaging reads the following:
"Directions for use: For best results, use daily as your body lotion. Massage this sheer formula over body, allowing time to dry prior to dressing."
Verdict? I find this product to be gimmicky at first and I stand by my statement still. Maybe I need to try it out more, but I went through this entire tube and it felt nothing more than a nicely scented body cream. The product itself is light beige in color and it comes housed in a pretty looking gold tube packaging that is common for body creams. The packaging is pretty and sleek. Formula is common with most body creams I've tried — thicker than body lotions. The scent is pleasant to me but I couldn't quite describe it, so I looked up online what others have said. I saw scent description of this range from what is common with suntan lotion or oils to Viva La Juicy. Serving its purpose as a body cream — I will say that it does deliver. It's not the best when it comes to giving and retaining moisture, but it's not bad (just okay I guess). Now about this business that in 5 days it evens, firms and corrects? That I will see visible benefits? No. I got none of that. And that tube definitely lasted me more than 5 days. It lasted me at least for a good 2 weeks. I was using it on a daily basis until it's all gone. I even took a pair of scissors and performed body lotion/cream tube operation to get the last good bits out (I got enough for a little over one time use). The shade I got is ALL LIGHT SKIN TONES and it matches me pretty well. I did follow the instruction to give it some time to dry before getting dressed as I don't want to get any of it on my clothing.
This product can easily be purchased at various retail and drugstores such as Walmart, Target, Walgreens and various online stores that carry beauty and personal care products.
Curtain Call: Eclos Skin Prep Cleanser
Hey guys! I'm back with another Curtain Call post. It makes me extremely happy to finish up a product that's part of my beauty routine. There's always a LOT of new stuff coming out that I want to try, but I can't cause I have a ton of those type of products already. I'm just at a stage where I'm trying to use everything up as much as I can and only getting something new cause I need it and don't have any backups stocked. It will take a while for that to happen unfortunately. But here's what has been laying empty on the shower floor for a few days now: Eclos Skin Prep Cleanser.
At 6.8 fl oz / 200 ml, this retails for $14.99 at their online store and is similarly priced at various retail and drugstores where it is sold. This entire pump top bottle lasted me for about 4 months. This definitely lasted longer than I thought for using it both in the morning and before I go to bed. Some days during the morning though I do end up using something else I have in the shower. The back of the bottle reads the following:
"This purifying, foaming gel cleanser is perfect for lifting make-up and pore-clogging debris without over-drying skin. Special pH-balanced formula with Chamomile and Cucumber helps soothe, revitalize, and hydrate skin. Skin Prep Cleanser is part of the Eclos™ anti-aging skin care system. Eclos™ products are exclusively formulated with Apple Stem Cell Technology, extracted from a rare Swiss Apple, clinically proven to reduce the appearance of wrinkles and improve skin texture in 2 weeks.* Antioxidants help tone and revitalize for a fresh, super clean surface.
Directions: Using gentle circular motion, massage a quarter-size amount onto damp skin. Rinse with warm water. User morning and night.
*100% of 20 participants in a clinical study on Apple Stem Cells experienced a decrease in wrinkle depth after 28 days."
Verdict? It's not bad as a cleanser really, but on the pricier side for a drugstore product. It does a good job of cleaning my face well while leaving my skin soft and not drying at all. After getting the hang of how much product it dispenses with one full pump, I adjusted and figured out how much pressure to apply to get the desired amount for washing my face. The smell is fresh like ginger. It's not bad but I do know some people who dislike scents like this. I can't say I saw much of a difference with all the good things this Apple Stem Cell Technology brings. I personally think something like that would be more evident in a leave-on product like a facial moisturizer (which I also have and will start using eventually) rather than a wash-off product like this. I'm not saying that their claims aren't true — everyone's different and it just didn't work that way for me. If I didn't get this as a Klout Perk for free, I wouldn't have purchased it without it being on a good sale at the very least.
This product can easily be purchased at the online store here or at various retail and drugstores such as Target, ULTA, and Walgreens. It is also available online at various websites that carry beauty and personal care products.
Curtain Call: Eva NYC Therapy Session Hair Mask
Hey guys! I haven't done a Curtain Call post in a while. I've been struggling to finish some items I have open in the shower and my bathroom counter. I'm sure some of you can relate to that. This post is on a product I got from my ipsy May 2014 Glam Bag. Here's Eva NYC Therapy Session Hair Mask.
At 60 ml / 2.03 fl oz, this retails for $12 at their online store and is similarly priced at various retail and drugstores where it is sold. The entire tube lasted me for almost 3 months. Keep in mind that I have long hair that goes down my back. The back of the tube reads the following:
"The Therapy Session Hair Mask deeply conditions, repairs and strengthens dry and damaged hair. Argan Oil nourishes and revitalizes, while Keravis Protein drastically increases hair's strength and elasticity. The results are hydrated, soft and manageable hair."
Verdict? I love it. I notice the difference more on first use, but it works pretty well until this morning as a deep conditioner I use about once a week. The directions listed on the back instructs you to us this either as a weekly treatment or an everyday conditioner. I use a generous amount enough to coat my hair from the tip to close to the roots but not touching it. I wait for 5 minutes usually and rinse thoroughly after. It kept my hair smooth and soft. The color is a creamy white and the texture is just like what I would expect from a conditioner. In fact, both color and texture reminds me that of John Frieda Luxurious Volume Full Splendor Conditioner with the texture part just a little bit more firm/less viscous compared to that. The scent is more on the warm side for me like what I would think of with sandalwood. My co-worker sister Renix thinks it's pretty close to sandalwood. It's a bit pricey, but if you end up really liking it I don't see a problem dropping the dough for what you get. $12 isn't too, too bad really for a once a week product that lasts for months. For me, I'll pick more up if it goes on sale or clearance for a good price.
This product can easily be purchased at the online store here or at various retail and drugstores such as Nordstrom, Urban Outfitters, Kohl's, ULTA, and Walgreens. It is also available online at various websites that carry beauty and personal care products.
Curtain Call: Victoria's Secret Love Spell Luxurious Shower Gel
Today's post marks the end of the life of a beauty product. The packaging has changed over the years, but they still do carry this product. This Curtain Call segment is on Victoria's Secret Love Spell Luxurious Shower Gel.
At 8.4 fl oz / 250 ml, this is sold under their VS Fantasies brand. I got this in a beauty set during the Holidays a few years ago. It comes in a clear plastic bottle packaging with a screw top lid where you push in to open the top and squeeze out some of the product. The back of the bottle reads the following:
Awaken your senses with
the lush sensuality of our
Luxurious Shower Gel.
A little creates rich lather
leaving skin delicately cleansed,
petal soft, and scented with
lavishly lush Love Spell.
Lather over body with wash-
cloth or sponge, then rinse.
Verdict? I've always liked the scent Love Spell the most among that line of theirs (I think it used to be called Victoria's Secret Garden). It's sweet and reminds me of yummy candy. Light purple or lavender in color, it works just like any other shower gel I've tried — it cleans and leaves the skin soft with its scent. This currently retails for $14 a bottle, but you can get this at a great price during their regular deals for this line or with their semi-annual sale that is currently running still. As mentioned, the packaging has changed since then, but this is still available on their website as well as in stores. This also available as part of a gift set occasionally, especially during the Holiday season.

Dear Vi,
So I heard you really like punching! What do you think of needles, workplace clocks, and jokes? (Haha, get it?)
Pun-ches aside (Teehee!), which punchable object do you prefer: sandbags or faces? What if the sandbag is the size of a six-stack Cho'gath? How about two six-stack Cho'gaths for size? What if it's actually steel pellets instead of sand in the bag, and you get prizes if you can wreck it? Which one do you prefer then?
Also, what is your favorite drink, and your favorite suit of cards?
Sincerely, Rosedrake.

OK Toni, You Asked for More Pix ;))
Here's what I did last weekend, on hearing that (a) there were 2 more months of winter & (b) we were headed for yet another snow storm. Here in NYC we've had the snowiest winter on record, EVER.
this one says Spring:
and another a Red Veined Fittonia
and since you know I love succulents:
Sans. Moonshine:
it's a good size plant:
All irresistable cheapies from a local supermarket.
The Red Fittonia was $3.99 (3" pot), same for the AV.
The Sans. originally had doodads on it: fabric, stuffed animal & bow, marked $19.99. Must have been a look on my face, but she said 'no doodads, $9.99' so I said absolutely!!
Quilting a lot & hoping for Spring!
Karen, you wrote, 'Okay, you Asked for more pix,' I thought you posted 100 or more..I sat down, w/my 'electronic cig,' a bottle of flavored water, all ready to check out your plant pictures..4 pics. lol.
Yep, I've been keeping an eye on US weather..You guys really got hit this year..I bet traffic is a disaster!
The AV bloom colors are so pretty..nice purple and white.
Very nice Fittonia, too..
Karen, yes, I do know how much you love sux and shocked out of all people, you didn't have, 'before last weekend,' a Moon shine/glow, 'is Moon glow and shine two different, Sans?
If you'd have said something, I had an extra..My niece pleaded with me, 'Aunt Antoinete, I love that plant,' in a subtle way kids subtly plead, lol. Well, the then, 9-yr-old Sans is in succulent heaven. I'd have sent to you had you said you didn't have one. I have another MoonGlow, but I gave her the prettier and larger of the two. Sheesh!
Still quilting. Haven't found your quilt page. I don't remember how I came across it to begin with.
Is that it for the pics? :)
Thanks Josh, guess I needed an extra shot of living things w/ some color, what w/ all this snow & white everywhere.
I know the Sans as Moonshine, think is probabably same as Moonbeam, who knows, most of my Sans. are no ID. this ID is my guess.
About the belated Moonshine thought for me, thanks, I had one a while back, lost it tho' I don't recall the circumstance. I DO recall that one had a dark green edge on light green leaves that was just spectacular.
Well Toni, I started posting pix a while back, surprising you hadn't seen, since I've postd some at HP, some at C&S, Some at Sans & Some at Hoyas. I have an older computer so it's slow going, to upload to Photobucket & then from there to here. You post pix sometimes right?
Here's a pretty special one; a hydro growing variegated Hoya kerrii. Cool plant, I've had it 2 yrs. no bloom yet, I've been unable to root cuttings.
New growth on a Sans. Mason's Congo (aka Masoniana)
A no ID Sans. that needed a home. I repotted from a tight pot (to another tight pot but new mix) & about 2 months later this pup appeared.
New growth on a ZZ plant in Dec. They usually sprout new shoots in Sept. & Feb., & I was surprised to see the shoots now, don't know if they're early or late. Has anybody else growing ZZs had this experience?
Let's see what else can I show ?
Left or foreward most is a Euphorbia francoisii which has a caudex this shot doesn't show, on the right a Hoya diversifolia, gift from a another fellow GW Member & Hoya lover.
After that another pair of Hoyas:
Left is Hoya australis off cutting from another GW friend which came w/ the adjacent no ID Hoya pubicalyx. On the window sill 2 different Euph. milii, the rear most blooms yellow the front one is newer & of unknown bloom color.
Another no ID Sans. w/ cylindrical but curved leaves, quite handsome to me
Another, but tiny Sans, no ID.
An acquisition from last year, Ficus elastica Burgundy, which I hope to repot in Spring w/Al's help (& hopefully some of his gritty mix). A handsome plant I wish to learn better care for.
Another shot
Enough entertainment for now Toni? It's late, bedtime!!
Now there's a nice spread of plants!
Yes, a little green can help perk the spirits this time of year.
I'm glad to hear that you'll be re-potting the Ficus - you'll have a lot of fun.
Working with the gritty mixes reduces the difficulty of future re-potting...
and it's also cleaner! No more dark water flowing from the botton of the pot.
Karen..nope, I've never seen your plants before now.
I love your Hoya Kerrii. Don't feel bad it hasn't bloomed. Got my green Kerrii some time in the 90's, not once did it flower. Its vines grew over 6'..while carrying it in the house, my dog moved to another spot, I didn't see him, and I ended up flying from one room to the next. Injured my hand attempting to save the pot from breaking...saved the pot, 'ceramic' but Hoya stems broke. I can't root Hoyas, so they went in the compost. The colors on your Hoya is different. Seems no two var Kerrii's are the same.
Love your E. francoisii and curved Sans. Very interesting, rare. Mine is small but stands erect, common.
Cute F. elastica/Rubber Tree. Another genus that has oddball colors.
Yes, I post pics at times..lazy, lazy..lol..
Plants brighten up gray winter days. Since there's no green outside, might as well surround outselves indoors.
I don't have many Sans...here are my favorites.
Beneath, the tall, spindly Sans came from Thailand.
The last is much shorter. I gave cuttings away. When I bought it, thought it was an Aloe..
Nice to see your pics. You asked about ZZ Plant. My plant I started from a leaf is sending up a new shoot now, looks like the largest one so far!
I have a Sans like the one in Toni's first picture, but one of the offsets rotted on me, and then one of the leaves on the main plant turned yellow and wrinkly...And Sans are supposed to be able to take all sorts of abuse? Not in my hands!
Christopher, I realize your post was addressed to Karen..Hope she doesn't mind.
Don't know what it is, but I've killed a good number of Sans. Especially my favorite, '''Gold hahnii.'''
They're absolutely beautiful Sans. Don't know why they die; they're watered similar to other Sans, yet the leaves shrivel and goodbye.
Wonder if they need higher temps than other types?? Toni

Tire Question
If I'm buying 2 new tires for front wheel drive do the new tires go on front or back?
Hmmm ... I'd say on the back. My thinking is that you want the worse-performing tires to be up front, where the limits of traction are apparent. If you put the good tires up front, the lightly-loaded rear tires may be asked to "cash the check" that the good front tires have written. Given how relatively little rear tires have to do on a FWD vehicle, the car would end up wanting to swap the back end for the front.
Perhaps more important than where the tires go, however, is that they match the existing ones. I've driven cars with new tires on the front which were different than the ones in back, and, even under clear and dry conditions, emergency or rapid handling sometimes was an unwelcome surprise. Radial tires really should be replaced in fours. I'd sooner go with four cheaper new radials than two new tires and two older different ones.
Hope that helps....
If you can only afford to replace two tires, put the good ones up front for front wheel drive. About 70% of the braking effort is up front for front wheel drives. You also need the best taction tires on the driven wheels (front ones for your case) to keep going in snow. On front wheel drives, the front tires wear down much faster than the rears. However, its best to have the same type of tires on all four wheels for autos.
Note: In my opinion, the older GM Citation/Phoenix cars had too great of percentage of braking effort porportioned to the rear wheels. This caused these vehicles to tend to swap ends when the brakes were applied on icy surfaces. This statement supports putting the greater anti-skid tires on the rear which is the opposite of my recommendation above. However, if the braking effort is properly porportioned, I think that it is best to put the better tires up front.
The car is being driven by the front, steered by the front, 60-70% of the braking is from the front, and most of the weight is on the front. For those reasons, put the best ones on the front. Better to have the same thing all around though. If it were me I'd bite the bullet and spring for four. jmo
Thanks everyone....the reason for the question in the 1st place is that web site Tires 101 recommended always putting new tires on the back regardless of front wheel drive which didn't make sense to me but does to steve o. Anyhow I had the new ones put on the front and they are now the same brand all way around.

"The stock paper was a thin cardboard like material which I had not expected. But to my surprise, the photo looked absolutely perfect!! It was not blurry or distorted at all, like other companies cardboard material does. The shipping came MUCH faster than advertised. And the green color I customized the bottom with is the most beautiful and perfect shade!"

Starbucks may be eying its first location on Columbia Pike.
Some residents have contacted ARLnow.com, asking about a rumor that Starbucks is planning to open in the former Society Fair space in Penrose Square. Such a location would put it in direct competition with Rappahannock Coffee, the independent coffee roaster and cafe that has been open across the street since 2001.
(Development has been proposed that would force Rappahannock to close or move, although there have been few signs lately of it moving forward.)
A source with knowledge of commercial real estate discussions on the Pike confirmed that Starbucks is at least scouting for a location there.
"I know that Starbucks has been looking for a location on the Pike," the source told ARLnow.com. "Some of the region's best agents have been involved and as of last week, some are saying that Starbucks is considering a deal."
"Penrose is looking for a national brand tenant for the [Society Fair] space but so are others too," like 3400 Pike and the Halstead," the source continued. "We have been hearing about imminent deals since November but… nothing materialized."
La Tagliatella, the Italian restaurant in Clarendon perhaps best known for a scathing Washington Post review, could close at the end of the month.
We're told by one restaurant employee that Jan. 31 will be its last day. A manager, when contacted by ARLnow.com, said "there's been talk of it" but "we haven't gotten any official word yet."
The restaurant, owned by Polish company AmRest, was the third American location of a franchise that was popular in Europe, and was viewed as a harbinger for potentially hundreds of additional U.S. locations. In May, the Washington Business Journal reported those expansion plans were on hold, and theorized the Post's review — which called La Tagliatella "a threat to our nation" and compared it unfavorably to Olive Garden — might have had something to do with it.
La Tagliatella had a planned location in the Village at Shirlington at the former Extra Virgin space, and still has signs up that say "coming soon," but the manager we spoke to said those plans have since been scuttled.
The restaurant opened in Clarendon in the prime spot at the corner of Clarendon Blvd and N. Garfield Street, formerly home to Restaurant 3, in 2013.
(Updated at 5:20 p.m.) The Mothers of North Arlington – a support and social group for mothers in six Arlington ZIP codes with more than 2,000 members – is now facing competition from a group of former members.
MONA's members have congregated since 2009 on a Yahoo! Group that today has 2,353 members. According to a tipster, MONA is switching over to a new web platform tomorrow, and the switch has already prompted enough opposition that the former MONA president resigned in May, claiming some members were using "hate speech" and "cyber-bullying" over the impending change.
Yesterday, some of MONA's members decided that, instead of asking MONA to keep its Yahoo! Group alive, they would start their own. NAPping — short for North Arlington Parents — launched on Monday as a free group for North Arlington parents. So far, Yahoo! reports it has just shy of 150 members. In May, MONA had 2,615 members.
While MONA charges $40 in annual membership dues and restricts membership to residents of the 22201, 22203, 22205, 22207, 22209 and 22213 ZIP codes, NAPping is a free group. It was started after parents who didn't want MONA to shift away from the Yahoo! Group all put their names into a Google Doc to split off.
Asked about NAP's formation, MONA leaders took the high road, saying they welcomed the competing group.
"One thing this transition has shown us is the wide variety of needs, interests and priorities in the community as people seek parenting support," MONA co-presidents Morgan Chinoy and M.K. Yeargin said in a statement to ARLnow.com. "We think it is a positive thing for the North Arlington community to have more than one parenting support organization to allow people to find what best suits their needs, whether it's some, all or none of them. We look forward to a positive relationship with North Arlington Parents as we all work toward our common goal of supporting parents in our community."

(Updated at 1:45 p.m.) Sen. Mark Warner (D-Va.) says he "had to stand up for Arlington" this morning in his office with Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand (D-N.Y.) who rankled folks in Arlington over the line in her book calling the county a "soulless suburb."
Warner wrote in a tweet "All is forgiven" and thanked Gillibrand for "being a class act." He posted three photos, including one of him and Gillibrand holding an "Arlington, We Got Soul" T-shirt.
"Senator Gillibrand says she meant no offense," Warner told ARLnow.com in an email, "and she certainly was a good sport about the whole thing."
Warner Press Secretary Beth Wanamaker said Gillibrand came into their office "and was immediately apologetic to all of us. She said she had no idea that she would cause such a kerfuffle."
The shirt is produced by Fairfax-based CustomInk, and it can be bought online here for $20 each. All of the funds from T-shirt purchases will go directly to the Arlington Food Assistance Center, per the T-shirt seller's website.

(Updated at 2:05 p.m.) A Ballston hot yoga studio sparked outrage Thursday by promoting a Sept. 11-themed sale and referencing conspiracy theories.
"9+11 = 20% OFF! PATRIOT DAY SALE on Bikram Yoga," Bikram Arlington, located four miles from the Pentagon at 4509 5th Road N., tweeted Thursday morning.
Twitter users told the company they were appalled by the reference to the tragedy.
"Kind of disgusting to promote shop sales with a Sept. 11 discount. Shame on you, @bikramarlington," user @Melissaeweiss wrote.
Courthouse resident Angela Herrick, 32, said a Facebook post from the yoga studio about the sale appeared alongside a post remembering her friend's father, who was killed in the Pentagon.
"A tragedy like this should never be used to promote a business, period," Herrick told ARLnow.com, noting she had frequented the studio since 2011. "I will not be returning, ever."
Bikram Arlington then tweeted, "The goal was to point out what date it was and associate to patriotism and to remember it. Its [sic] a shame some of you go to the negative."
"Apologies to anyone who is upset by it!" another tweet from the company said.
That tweet was was quickly followed by a suggestion to search 9/11 "truther" conspiracy theories.
"If you want to be upset, research the term '911 building 7′ and check the news because they are hearing 'chatter' about us getting hit again."
The studio's promotion page added more color on the deal: "Freedom Isn't Free — And we intend to honor those patriots who have died for our country and morn [sic] the loss of freedom of speech and other rights that died day."
Studio owner Zahra Vaezi, whose husband, Frank, wrote the tweet, told The Washington Post that she "didn't realize people would be so 'roar,' you know?" over the promotion.
"It's like that man who punched his wife," she told the Post, referring to ex-Baltimore Ravens running back Ray Rice. "I mean, that's upsetting. But I think it kind of gets blown out of proportion."
Multiple calls to the studio went unreturned.
@bikramarlington You demonstrate an incomprehensible lack of compassion—in the town of the Pentagon, no less. Hoping you learn & improve.

(Updated at 9:50 a.m.) New York Senator Kirsten Gillibrand (D) is no fan of living in Arlington, apparently.
In her new book, "Off The Sidelines," which is due out today, Gillibrand recounts her move from New York to the D.C. area — to Arlington, specifically — when she was first elected to the House of Representatives. It was a move Gillibrand would come to regret.
From the book:
Our move to Washington was hard — on me and my marriage. I had a new job; [my husband] Jonathan didn't; and we were trying to find our legs with a toddler in a new city. We started having the same argument over and over. I'd say, "What's wrong?"
Jonathan would say, "I have no job and I hate D.C."
I appreciated Jonathan's viewpoint. We lived in a soulless suburb. It wasn't the right place for us, and we needed a change. I could see that, but it took me at least a year to figure out that racing 100 miles an hour to do my job well was leaving no time for us… Eventually we moved from Arlington, Virginia, to Capitol Hill, and Jonathan found a job he liked.
Gillibrand's book also discusses sexism on Capitol Hill and inappropriate comments congressmen made about Gillibrand's weight.
Update at 6:00 p.m. — In a tweet, Gillibrand says she's sorry.
Sorry, Arlington, didn't mean to hurt your feelings. #OffTheSidelines

Adams Morgan watering hole Black Squirrel may be coming to Rosslyn.
Leasing agents at the Sedona Slate apartment complex, on the 1500 block of Clarendon Blvd, have been telling prospective residents that Black Squirrel will be opening in a ground floor space at the building.
Black Squirrel bills itself as an "old-school neighborhood gastropub." It boasts an extensive draft beer selection and a food menu that includes spruced-up versions of standard pub fare.
So far, no building permits can be seen on the windows of the would-be bar space. Reached by phone, Black Squirrel co-owner Tom Knott declined comment.
One business that's confirmed to be coming soon to the Sedona Slate ground floor is Lava Barre, which was formerly located near Clarendon. Interior construction is underway on the future Lava Barre space and "coming soon" signs are posted on the windows. No word yet on an opening date.
The mysterious Sam's Corner deli at 3201 Wilson Boulevard in Clarendon may be getting ready to close, according to a tipster.
The no-nonsense, cash-only deli has fascinated some locals with its irregular hours, its general lack of customers, and its ability to remain in business in a high-rent area. But the business may be closing soon after all.
The daughter of the older couple who own the deli has told friends that her parents will be shutting down the restaurant, perhaps by the end of the month, according to our tipster. The owners have simply decided to retire, we're told.
An emailed request for comment was not returned.
Is the Arlington County Board trying to give itself the power to remove inflammatory political ads from Metro stations? It sure sounds like that may be the case.
Two weeks after the brouhaha over an ad in the Clarendon Metro station that told President Obama to "go to hell," the County Board went into its closed executive session with a curious objective: to discuss "the county's authority to regulate the content of advertising on Metro property."
All we know about the discussion is that quote, read by County Board Chair Mary Hynes before adjourning the Board's Tuesday afternoon meeting. The executive session is legally considered private and, reached for comment, a county spokesperson said they've been advised by the County Attorney to not discuss any details.
Even if the county can find the authority to regulate ads in Arlington Metro stations, though, there remains the question of whether removing political ads would be Constitutional. In explaining why it allowed the inflammatory "go to hell" ad, Metro issued the following statement: "WMATA advertising has been ruled by the courts as a public forum protected by the First Amendment of the Constitution, and we may not decline ads based on their political content."
With the Chevys Fresh Mex restaurant in Ballston Common Mall (pictured) now permanently closed, is the Chevys location in Pentagon City (1201 S Hayes Street) far behind?
A source who had advance knowledge of the closing of the Ballston Chevys tells ARLnow.com that the financially-troubled restaurant chain is indeed planning on closing the Pentagon City location, perhaps as soon as this weekend or next week.
That's contrary to what employees at the restaurant told us. A Chevys Pentagon City employee said earlier this week that the eatery was "going strong" and would remain open.
Chevys Pentagon City is one of the county's larger restaurants, with a seating capacity of over 150.
Via the Montreal Gazette, of all places, comes word that Capitals star Alex Ovechkin's new girlfriend has been hanging around Arlington as of late.
Russian tennis star Maria Kirilenko has been photographed working out with the George Washington University tennis team, presumably at the indoor Sport & Health Club courts in Crystal City. She has also been spotted at Capitals practices, presumably at the Kettler Capitals Iceplex in Ballston, according to the Gazette.
Ovechkin, who lives in a $1.6 million home in Arlington's Waycroft-Woodlawn neighborhood, recently confirmed the relationship by Tweeting out a photo of the happy couple (left). Before that Tweet, however, the Gazette could only speculate as to why Kirilenko seemed to be spending so much time in our fair county.
"In all seriousness, putting aside the fact that this is pretty good gossip, if you're a Russian tennis player and you choose … Arlington, Va. for some indoor practice, it's probably not because you're an American history buff," the paper said.
Let us know via email or the comments if you spot Ovie and his new GF out on the town.
On Thursday afternoon, First Lady Michelle Obama spent 30-40 minutes shopping at the Potomac Yard Target. Instantly, the shopping trip became national news.
"Never has a Target dash caused such a ruckus," wrote Politico's Julie Mason.
While the First Lady shopping at Target during a recession is the sort of thing that makes headlines, there are plenty of non-headline-making errands run by top U.S. officials, lawmakers and media personalities every day. And thanks to our prime location just across the river from the Nation's Capital, many of those shopping trips and restaurant visits are taking place right here in Arlington.
In the comments section, share your favorite story of spotting a famous so-and-so out and about in your neighborhood.
(Updated at 3:45 p.m.) ARLnow.com has confirmed that Christy Goodman, the Washington Post's Arlington/Alexandria reporter, is no longer with the paper as of today.
That news comes as Washington Post employees reported on Twitter that the Post is shuttering all of its Virginia and Maryland local bureaus, with the exception of Richmond and Annapolis. The Post currently has local bureaus in Alexandria, Fairfax, Loudoun County, Prince William County and elsewhere.
The Poynter Institute's Jim Romenesko has a memo from the Washington Post Guild's Facebook page confirming the closures. "The closure of the physical buildings does not mean that the Post will reduce its local coverage," according to the memo.
No word yet on the Post's plans for coverage in Arlington.
What's coming to the ground floor of 1650 Wilson Boulevard in Rosslyn?
We know it's a restaurant, and that Michael Landrum of Ray's the Steaks fame is behind it — his name is on the ABC permit, after all — but at this point it's hard to tell what kind of restaurant it will be.
Previously, we reported that the establishment's name, per the ABC permit, was "The Lobster Pot." That led to speculation that Landrum was building his long-talked-about "Ray's the Catch" seafood restaurant. But now there's a new name on the permit: "Ray's Hell Burger III."
So will the brown walls of the space at 1650 Wilson soon house an expanded Ray's Hell Burger? And will the existing Ray's Hell Burger location across the street turn into Ray's the Catch? Or is 1650 Wilson actually going to be Ray's the Catch? Or is the real answer none of the above?
Either way, we're told that the restaurant — whatever it may be — will open in "a few weeks."
Is former Top Chef contestant Spike Mendelsohn planning on opening a restaurant in Crystal City?
An ARLnow spy spotted Mendelsohn and a man identified as his father dining at the Crystal City Chick-fil-A while chatting up the manager about foot traffic and sales.
"He is apparently opening a new restaurant (or planning to) in Crystal City," the tipster said. A second source confirmed that Mendelsohn may be scouting out locations in Crystal City.
Mendelsohn is the proprietor of Good Stuff Eatery, a gourmet burgers-fries-and-ice-cream joint on Capitol Hill, and We, the Pizza, which is exactly what you think it is.
Good Stuff Eatery is in the midst of an expansion that is bringing it to new locales like Baltimore and Philadelphia. Might Crystal City be next?

Making an Evergreen Wreath??
Has anyone ever made a real evergreen wreath? I have seen so many pretty ones but do not have the $40 to buy one. I do however, have a huge tree in my front yard! I did a search on google and all I could find was how to take care of them or where to find them for sale.
Any tips would be greatly appreciated!!
Martha Stewart usually does a live 1. She uses a double wire wreath form & wires them around until it is full. It looks easy but sometimes when we go to do it we find out it isn't so easy. Besides the form you would need wire & wire cutters & needlenose pliers. Each bunch is about in. thick or so. Could add a few pinecones & bow also. Or some holly if you have any or add a couple of store picks or dried apple rounds dipped in cinnamon. Jan
My grandmother use to make lots and lots and sell them to people on our mountain and I have also made them using her technique. She would use wire clothes hangers, my grandfather would shape them into circles and collect the evergreens. She would use only the limber pieces and about 8 inches of the tip would be the finishing pieces, tucking the hard end into the wreath. She used a very stout black thread and a large sewing needle. They were beautiful!
IT is a lot of work but worth it. I still use the hangers (they already have the hook to hang them up with) but use florist wire to attach them. I use mostly Leyland cypress because that is what I have most of but decorate them with boxwood, nandina and a big bow. They smell wonderful
I did a google search and put in "make your own evergreen wreath". There were so many links to choose from. Here's one from eHow.com
Here is a link that might be useful: making an evergreen wreath
Thanks so much to everyone! It really gets me started!! When I did google, I tried "how to wreath", I never thought about using "making wreath".
I just think they look so pretty!! I found a non-traditional wreath on you tube by P. Allan Smith. It is so beautiful!!
If I can get my hubby to get out the chain saw and get me some branches, I will post a picture! He hates the tree so he might delight in taking the chain saw to it!
Here is a link that might be useful: P. Allan Smith
Years ago when we were stationed in Rhode Island, a group of us got together and collected little new trees which grew in the woods there almost like weeds. We did the coat hanger method and they turned out so pretty. One of my fun memories from that time. Luvs
