Uni Shiramizu, left, owner of Young Scale Co.,
and Kerry Hines show
a few of the scales
that fill the Waialae Avenue shop.
"This has been a scale store for so long, people don't know our name, but know what we sell," said Kerry Hines, of Young Scale Co. "That's why we probably will never move."
Kaimuki is dotted with shops like this, small businesses that manage to stay alive because they offer goods or services that people can't get elsewhere, or because they're served with a personal touch.
Once a thriving shopping hub, Kaimuki's Waialae Avenue has never really bounced back from the building of the H-1 Freeway. Starting in the 1960s, the freeway offered motorists passing through Kaimuki a faster, more convenient route between downtown and East Honolulu.
Business is "OK for us," said Jenny Toguchi, whose Bea's Pies & Deli has been on 12th Avenue for 23 years. But she thinks newer shops may find it harder to make it because the freeway still deflects so much traffic from the shopping district.
Here are a few businesses that have found a niche in Kaimuki, surviving the freeway, the shopping malls and the economy:
- Young Scale Co., 3392 Waialae Ave.
Weighing the odds, it made sense for Young's Scale Co. to make the move from Kalihi to Kaimuki in 1977. It took over the space that had housed another scale company - Chang's - for a couple of decades, so people already were used to going there for what they needed, said Hines, who joined the company that same year.
In 1991, Jack Young sold the business to Yuni Shiramizu, who kept the name and company motto: "Mini grains to many tons," referring to the scope of the 680-square-foot shop.
The showroom is stocked floor to ceiling with hundreds of scales, from jeweler's scales that weigh grams to automatic meat weighing, packing and labeling machines. There are pocket letter scales that go for $4.95 and truck scales (not in the showroom) that cost $60,000. In between, there are scales for weighing fruits and vegetables and even to measure body fat.
"I find (the business) very interesting because most of the time, the scale is an important part of business, but the customer doesn't know what kind of scale to buy," Shiramizu said. By matching the scale to the customer, she figures she can help the retailer save money in the long run.
- Kaimuki Shell Service, 3375 Waialae Ave.
When Alan Nakamura's father, Torao, opened his service station 25 years ago, there were six other stations in the neighborhood. Many are gone.
"But times are pretty tough; everybody is affected," Nakamura, 42, said. "If I didn't do repairs, I probably wouldn't be here, too."
Even with a widespread "reputation for repairs," survival is a matter of "a little bit of luck, God and hard work," Nakamura said. "Give a fair price and be honest, but luck is important, too, because a lot of places have closed because they lost their leases or their rents got too high."
After graduating from Kaimuki High School, Nakamura majored in marketing at the University of Hawaii. "I told my dad no way I was going to work here," Nakamura said. "It was too hard." But reality hit when he applied for a job at the old Ben Franklin Store in Kaimuki and found half his marketing class in line. When he graduated in 1976, he opted to work for his dad, who died 10 years ago.
- Eighth Avenue Barber Shop, 1204 8th Avenue
It was a Tuesday afternoon and the barber shop was crowded, mainly with older men comfortable with the atmosphere and graciousness of I. and Grace Nakamura.
Inside the aging 300-square-foot shop, two barber's chairs - with hand cranks and razor strops dangling from the sides - sit center stage.
Noboru Yoshiwa, 84, has to drive only a few minutes from Palolo Valley to get a trim every three weeks. But this day, one customer came from Hawaii Kai, another, from Salt Lake. The reason: "I get a good haircut," the Salt Lake man said. There's also the price: $9, not much more than the $1.25 the Nakamuras used to charge.
Grace Nakamura, 61, and her husband, 67, too shy to give his first name, were reluctant to be interviewed because of their lack of English-speaking skills. Grace was born in Japan and I. was raised there. But with Yoshiwa as interpreter, they talked about how a street-widening project made them move from McCully to 8th Avenue 22 years ago.
Barbering is a tiring job, especially when you have to stand so much, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., six days a week, I. Nakamura said. "But ev erything is going up in price so we have to work long hours to make money."
Their one child works for the state and when they retire, so will the shop.
- Ikkyu Sushi, 3458 Waialae Ave.
The enticing scent of fish, chicken and other delicacies permeates the air around Ikkyu Sushi & Catering, the business Joanne and Teruhisa "Taka" Takatsugi moved to Kaimuki two years ago.
They had specialized only in catering Japanese food in the 10 years they were downtown. But their Waialae Avenue operation attracted so many hungry customers, it made sense to open for lunch as well. There's just one "token" table to sit at, so most people take out their bentos and sushi.
The Takatsugis, both 42, are an intriguing couple. How did a Hawaiian girl, a 1972 Kamehameha Schools grad and the daughter of the late golf pro Ted Makalena, happen to marry a Japan-born chef?
"We met in Japan when I was dancing hula," Joanne said. "Our first six months, we were using the English-Japanese and Japanese-English dictionaries and doing a lot of pointing." They moved to Hawaii in 1976, have been married for 22 years and have three children.
"I like Kaimuki," Joanne said. "It's kind of funky. Business is down from five years ago, when everybody was doing well. But we're doing well enough."
After all, Ikkyu means "Forever No. 1."
When Sweetie Moffatt decided to open her consignment shop on Halloween, 1994, it was like coming home.
"I grew up in Kaimuki, on 10th and Keanu. I went to St. Patrick's and Star of the Sea."
Moffatt would grow up to be a well-known hula dancer, the wife of promoter Tom Moffatt and "travel all over the world, five times."
It's that traveling that helps her stock her shop. "I have tons of things that I no longer need. I love antique contemporary things, but you can live with only so much. And I have girlfriends in Paris, Italy, Japan and New York. The bulk of my clothes comes from them."
Her teeny shop is like a big closet, crammed with hats, dresses, shoes, jewelry, knickknacks
and some children's clothes.
"Business is good, although I could always use more business," Moffatt said. It helps that people in the '90s are into recycling and realize that it's OK to buy so-called second-hand. "It is a deal to shop on consignment; it's totally different from Goodwill or Salvation Army."
"Anything to do with weightlifting, we pretty much have," says Hilton Medeiros. No big body, just fact.
His store is crammed full of big machines and nutritional products. There are huge tins of powder, such as "Up Your Mass," to actually make people GAIN weight. No Jenny Craig wannabes here.
Medeiros and his brother, Cleveland, have so much in stock that their Kaimuki shop occupies two spaces, in adjacent buildings.
The brothers manage the shops, which are owned by their father, Edward Medeiros, who runs the Aloha Flea Market. They decided to ride the health fitness craze by opening in Kaimuki, where they live, in 1987. A year later, they opened in Pearlridge Center.
"We're doing good, although not as good as three years ago," Hilton, 33, a St. Louis School graduate, said. "But we're here to stay as long as we're selling ... So far, we feel lucky in this place. Kaimuki is pretty steady."
Here's a tip: Traci Toguchi, Miss Hawaii 1995, swears that she can eat the lilikoi chiffon pie at Bea's Pies and NEVER gain weight.
Traci might be a bit biased because she's the daughter of Stan and Jenny Toguchi, the bakery's owners. But there are those who swear by the bakery's pumpkin/
custard pies and other goodies, with little care of calories.
The bakery has been on 12th Avenue about 23 years, initially known as the Sushiya, when the Toguchis were more into bentos than banana cream. The business was started by Jenny's parents, Joseph and Bea Uchima, who ran the Fountain coffee shop in Kapiolani Bowl. The Uchimas then operated the cafeteria for FAA workers in Diamond Head Crater for 10 years before moving to 12th Avenue in 1972.
"We have a steady clientele - from all over - that helps keep us going," Toguchi said. Although they sell 75 to 100 pies on an average day, it's a seasonal business, peaking on holidays, notably Thanksgiving. A regular work day starts 3:30 or 4 a.m., Tuesday through Saturday, but around Thanksgiving, "We work around the clock, with no sleep," Toguchi said.
Gordon Tam, left, and his son, Garrett, work in the close quorters of Tam's Shoe Repair. The elder Tam took over the shop from his father, Joseph. Garrett plans to do the same thing.
For four decades, Gordon Tam has followed in his father's footsteps. Actually, in his father's customers' steps.
"People get attached to their shoes," Tam, 53, explained, holding a blue high-heeled sandal that looked like it had walked one too many a mile. But for $15, "By the time I get finished, this will be like new," Tam said matter-of-factly.
With that, he summed up how a business started more than 60 years ago by his late father, Joseph W.S. Tam, continues to thrive. At one time, there were at least five shoe repair shops in Kaimuki. "Now, there's only me," he said. But planning to continue the tradition is son, Garrett, 23.
Joseph Tam arrived from Canton at age 18 and began fixing military boots at Wheeler Field. He later set up shop in McInerny's downtown, then, in the 1940s, to Kokohead Avenue. He moved to the present site in the early 1950s.
"I've been doing this since I was 10," Gordon Tam said. "Customers used to ask my father, `When you get old, who's going to take over?' He said, `My son is going to take over,' although he never talked with me about that," the stoic Tam shrugs. "I just took it as that."
However, after graduating from Kaimuki High School, he learned how to fix airplanes. Today, he repairs shoes when he's not working as the maintenance manager of Aloha Airlines.
- Carol Kuniyoshi was willing to take over the family business in Kaimuki - one that dates back at least 80 years to her grandparents' time - but her father said no.
After 44 years running Okumura Dry Cleaners with just himself, his wife and a brother, Fred "Masa" Okumura knew how hard it was.
"The dry-cleaning business is good, but plenty work," Okumura, 77, said recently. When he retired in 1980, he also opted not to sell the business that was known to almost every Kaimuki resident.
Kuniyoshi, one of three daughters, opened The Calico Cat instead in 1982. It's a small fabrics and notions store in the family-owned, two-story office building that once housed the dry-cleaning business.
"I grew up here," Kuniyoshi, 47, said. Before the building was built in the '60s, it was the family home. Her shop, where she greets most customers by name, sits where the dining room used to be.
Okumura was born just a few blocks away on Waialae Avenue, where the Family Lounge bar is.
Near that spot, his parents, Yoichiro and Kinu Okumura, started Cleanwell Cleaners (he doesn't remember exactly when), which is still in business.
When he was about 5 or 6, his father sold the business and bought the 1223 Kokohead Ave. lot, initially figuring to become a grocer. When that didn't work, he went back to dry cleaning. The Okumuras also purchased property across the street, where Kuniyoshi and her family, her parents, an uncle and aunt all live.
Masa Okumura had wanted to become a doctor, but because of the Depression, went to work for his parents after graduating from McKinley High in 1936.
"In those days, no machines," he said. "It was all by hand." He remembers having to use irons heated with charcoals, then huge, ship-like gas irons "with fire inside."
When Okumura started, he charged 35 cents for pants. When he retired, he charged 50 cents. Plus, he delivered free of charge. You could understand why customers begged him not to retire.
He was able to make a living because of volume, he said. As it was, he had to refuse new customers for the last three years he was in business because he had no room to store the clothes.
"My work, I hardly had any complaints, because everything have to go through me (pass inspection)," Okumura said.

Fall Recipe: Cranberry-Pecan Muffins
We don't want to reserve our cranberry consumption solely for the sauce on the turkey. These muffins are a great way of getting in some of the powerhouse fruit all year round ... but if we're being honest, they'll probably mostly be baked in the fall.
Serve these America's Test Kitchen gems in a pre-Thanksgiving brunch to get everyone in the spirit, or, better, yet, elevate your leftovers by using your extra cranberry sauce in the recipe.
To do so, just sub in the sauce for the cranberries, and don't add the sugar in the recipe. (Of course, this only works if you've made a sweet, rather than savory, cranberry sauce.) And enjoy!
Cranberry-Pecan Muffins
Makes 12
The topping:
3 tbsps all-purpose flour
4 tsps sugar
1 tbsp packed brown sugar
2 tbsps butter, softened
pinch of salt
1/2 cup pecan halves
The muffins:
1 1/3 cup flour
1 1/2 tsps baking powder
1 tspn salt
1 1/4 cups pecans, toasted
1 cup sugar
2 eggs
6 tbsps of melted butter, cooled
1/2 cup skim milk
2 cups fresh cranberries
1 tbsp confectioners sugar
Adjust oven rack to upper-middle position and heat oven to 425 degrees. Process flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, butter, and salt in food processor until mixture resembles coarse sand, 4 to 5 pulses. Add pecans and process until pecans are coarsely chopped, about 4 pulses. Transfer to small bowl; set aside.
Spray 12-cup muffin tin with baking spray. Whisk flour, baking powder, ¾ teaspoon salt together in bowl; set aside.
Process toasted pecans and granulated sugar until mixture resembles coarse sand, 10 to 15 seconds. Transfer to large bowl and whisk in eggs, butter, and milk until combined. Whisk flour mixture into egg mixture until just moistened and no streaks of flour remain. Set batter aside 30 minutes to thicken.
Pulse cranberries, remaining ¼ teaspoon salt, and confectioners' sugar in food processor until very coarsely chopped, 4 to 5 pulses. Using rubber spatula, fold cranberries into batter.
Use ice cream scoop or large spoon to divide batter equally among prepared muffin cups, slightly mounding in middle. Evenly sprinkle topping over muffins, gently pressing into batter to adhere. Bake until muffin tops are golden and just firm, 17 to 18 minutes, rotating muffin tin from front to back halfway through baking time.
Cool muffins in muffin tin on wire rack, 10 minutes. Remove muffins from tin and cool for at least 10 minutes before serving.

Clark: Condon and Stuckart 'pitch' in for good cause
Wednesday's installment of Spokane Street Music Week was truly one for the ages.
Or the annals of YouTube, perhaps.
Spokane Mayor David Condon and City Council President Ben Stuckart made good on their threat to perform "Ebony and Ivory" as a sidewalk duel.
Oops. I meant duet.
"Ebony and Ivory," of course, is the old pop standard made famous by Sir Paul McCartney and Stevie Wonder.
The Condon/Stuckart collaboration was more like "Agony and Earaches."
Now, I don't want to be overly analytical. There were fleeting moments when the tune was almost recognizable, kind of.

Wednesday's installment of Spokane Street Music Week was truly one for the ages.
Or the annals of YouTube, perhaps.
Spokane Mayor David Condon and City Council President Ben Stuckart made good on their threat to perform "Ebony and Ivory" as a sidewalk duel.
Oops. I meant duet.
"Ebony and Ivory," of course, is the old pop standard made famous by Sir Paul McCartney and Stevie Wonder.
The Condon/Stuckart collaboration was more like "Agony and Earaches."
Now, I don't want to be overly analytical. There were fleeting moments when the tune was almost recognizable, kind of.
For the most part, however, the cacophonous blend of harmonies was reminiscent of woodland creatures squabbling over foraging rights.
But Condon and Stuckart did what they did with hilarious aplomb.
Plus having them out singing and away from City Hall was music to the taxpayers' ears.
These two were such great sports.
I can't thank them enough for taking part in the 11th annual Spokane Street Music Week.
Condon and Stuckart were among 52 buskers who made our sidewalks come alive with music and vibe on Wednesday.
The event will continue to bring musicians and entertainers to the downtown core and the Garland District during the noon hours through Friday.
As always, every cent collected goes to the Second Harvest food bank coffers for the fight against hunger.
Last year's landmark 10th annual Spokane Street Music Week raised a record $12,000.
Call me a dreamer, but I know what Condon and Stuckart did could help us beat that mark.
"Is this enough to make them stop?" said one witness who laughingly stuffed a wad of green bills into my red collection bucket.
Once they had mercifully run out of notes, Condon and Stuckart asked some members of their entourages to join them at the microphones set up near Starbucks on Main Avenue across from Pottery Barn.
This larger group warbled a touching rendition of that old campfire spiritual, "Kumbaya," perhaps to ask forgiveness for what had transpired earlier.
We're now officially on the downward slide of this year's event, but there's still plenty more entertainment to come.
Peter Rivera – former lead singer of Rare Earth – will appear today at the Starbucks location to sing from his catalog of monster hits.
"Get Ready." "Celebrate." "Losing You."
"Big Brother" …
Also today Mark Peterson, KXLY-4 weather guy and an anchor on "Good Morning Northwest," will take part in Spokane Street Music Week.
Peterson will cruise the sidewalks to sign autographs or answer deep meteorological inquiries – for a donation to the food bank, that is.
Example: "Mark, who'll stop the rain?"
Answer: "John Fogerty."
For larger donations you can give Peterson a piece of your mind about any of his forecasts that didn't work out.
But be prepared to run. Peterson's a pretty big dude. He's also one of the funniest guys I know so I'm sure you'll love his answers.
On Friday we'll switch channels. Randy Shaw, KREM-2's iconic news anchor, will croon a couple tunes at the Starbucks site.
Chad Mitchell and Mike Kobluk – two-thirds of the legendary Chad Mitchell Trio – will also be there to harmonize on "Blowin' in the Wind," and some of their other memorable Folk Era hits.
Did you know these guys played Carnegie Hall not once, not twice, but three times?
And don't forget what's happening tonight.
A free showing of "Sing For Their Supper," the half-hour documentary about Spokane Street Music Week, will take place at the historic Garland Theater.
The doors open at 7:15 p.m. There will be some live music, too. Warning: Although I hyped this as a free event, a collection will be taken for the food bank.
Maybe I'm being seduced by all the fair weather that Mark Peterson has blessed us with lately, but this year's Street Music Week has been a blast. Part of it has come from seeing so many familiar faces: those good-hearted and talented folks who have made Spokane Street Music Week an established event.
Frank Wagner, Wallis Friel, Dave Bezdicek, Joe Brasch, Dave McRae, Ernie Vollmer, Daniel Cox, Curt Donner, Verne Windham, Jeff Peterson, Charlie Lee, Bob Glaza, Barbara Baldwin …
There are way too many to list. But all the regulars have helped turn Spokane Street Music Week into a successful and established event.
Some of the new faces are pretty helpful, too.
Tommy Gantt, for example.
If Gantt had been around back in 2002, this event might not have started.
If you recall, I went out strumming my guitar around town during the noon hours because in terms of quality, my hometown's level of street music was stuck between miserable and pathetic.
Gantt, however, is the real-deal street musician who has been performing regularly on the sidewalks of Spokane for the last five or six years.
You can usually see him singing and playing his guitar in front of River Park Square.
Gantt, 47, has polished guitar chops and a first-class singing voice.
He also has a repertoire of what seems like a jukebox full of crowd-pleasing pop songs and some originals.
He's a professional busker, in other words.
Gantt relies on the generosity of strangers to pay his bills and buy his guitar strings.
What I'm saying is that this charity event called Spokane Street Music Week does cut into his pay.
Even so, Gantt graciously agreed to cheerfully donate his noon-hour take to our food bank cause.
It's a classy thing to do.
Others have gone miles to donate to Spokane Street Music Week.
Their names are Bonnie and Harry Larrison, married for the last 48 years.
I met Bonnie the other day when she handed me a medium-size plastic baggie filled with small change.
The Larrisons found the money, she told me, while taking daily walks.
A penny here. A quarter there …
All the money went into the baggie. On Tuesday, she brought her year's worth of collections to donate to what she called her favorite cause.
It doesn't get any better than that.

The NYT reported that British Prime Minister David Cameron was prepared to give a speech in which he would call on households and businesses to pay down their debt rather than spend. This amounts to a gaffe of enormous proportions. It implies that the Prime Minister overseeing one of the world's largest economies has no clue about economics. If households and businesses responded to the prime minister's request, it would further reduce demand leading to a second recession and a further rise in unemployment.
While the NYT piece did note that Cameron changed his comments in response to complaints from businesses, it did not go on to quiz his staff in the same way that the media have followed up on other alleged gaffes by political figures. For example, in the weeks following the disclosure of then Senator Obama's comments about working class Pennsylvanians turning to guns and religion out of frustration and bitterness, news stories were filled with accounts from Obama's press people and others about his remarks.
Certainly the magnitude of Cameron's gaffe dwarfs the guns and religion statement from Obama.

Musings of the Day: Put It On Ice! Makeup Fridge!
A long time ago in a land not so far away, I fell in love with Lush but like all good fairy tales, evil lurked around the corner. As fabulous as Lush skincare is, much of it needs to remain fresh, particularly the face masks. So you have to kinda go the extra mile with storage of your Lush…..could prove irritating for some or not a big deal for others. Lush Fresh Facial Masks have to be stored in your fridge and heck in some cases many cosmetic items should be put on ice really to keep them fresh particularly those purchased at Lush.
If you live with a boy chances are you aren't wanting to store your Lush in your fridge for fear he'll walk into the living room, munching on it, and proceed to tell you what an incredible cook you are. Horror!
Which brings me to today's Musings….
Do you store your makeup or skincare in the fridge along with your yogurt and stale bread?
What sort of cosmetics are in your fridge?
Do I store mine in the fridge?
Yes, I do.
I stopped storing Lush in my "food" fridge a long time ago as it's a tad too weird explaining to friends who look inside what a face mask and moisturizer is doing in there so I went and purchased one of the Deluxe Mini Fridges from ThinkGeek during a sale and now it resides under my bathroom vanity and basically houses all my Lush moisturizers, masks, massage bars, and other bits such as body splash, toners, etc….
I don't store blushes, eyeliners, or other general cosmetics in the fridge however I have no probs about storing stuff like moisturizer and the likes in it. I do find once it's been refrigerated that it never truly feels like the same formula if I let it "thaw" out so to speak. This isn't a prob for me as I simply re-refrigerator it after I use it, no later haters here, moisturizer makes perfectly fine left over fare.
You can actually shell out over $200 for a "cosmetic cooler" but my mini fridge does the trick just fine!
Your turn.
Are you putting your stash on ice?
Share it!
7/27/10 13:18 laura r:
i keep some of my skin creams and eyeliners in the fridge in the summertime (hidden behind the jam jars). they feel better and hold up better that way. i had to put a few melted chapsticks in there recently to re-solidify. and with masks and stuff, if it's a fabric mask, i put it in there before opening the package. the only downside is that sometime i forget to use my eye cream because it's out of sight.
your mini is SO cute!
7/27/10 13:25 the Muse:
ha laura same happened to me! I used to put stuff in and forget all about it! particularly hair care items from Lush which is why I purchased the mini, at least I remember it's in there that way and not hidden away with food :-D!!!!!!!!! I def do sheet masks too, but only one at a time after I use one, I stick another in!
7/27/10 13:29 Scientific Housewife:
I usually only buy one Lush mask and store that in my fridge but everything else I leave out.
7/27/10 13:32 the Muse:
hey SH I always forget it's in there when I do that haha!
oh muse I store my lush stuff in the refrigerator too! I used to keep all of my soaps in the vegetable drawer until one day my dad moved all of my lush soap into the basement where they got ruined
now i just keep emperor of ice cream in the fridge, otafix, and in the freezer i keep a lip balm because they are so easily melted!! But having another fridge is such a great idea!!!!!!
7/27/10 13:43 the Muse:
awww sorry linda! You need a mini fridge
7/27/10 13:40 Annabella Freeman:
I keep most of my skincare products in the fridge regardless if they are Lush or not. My favourite thing to put in the fridge is toner. It makes such a difference. I unfortunately have an 'English' fridge which as you probably know is half the size of an American one so I'm a bit stuck for space.
7/27/10 13:47 the Muse:
oh annabella I agree, toner in the fridge is divine yea I know ugh I adore England and worship it but the fridges and the lack of showers in many flats DRIVES me NUTS
7/28/10 3:37 Annabella Freeman:
Oh don't get me started on the showers here! I would never take a bath to get 'clean'. Ewww.
7/28/10 8:57 the Muse:
LOL annabella! My friend Libs and her husband lived in a flat in London for ages without a shower and every time I visited them it was simply a nightmare. I never felt REALLY clean. Thank god her new place has a shower!
7/27/10 13:43 Kelly:
I store my Lush in the fridge too, there's a devoted spot on the side door for the massage bars, masks, etc. They're all piled on top of one another though lol. I have thrown eye creams in there, it's great in the summer when you need something extra cold.
7/27/10 13:46 the Muse:
kelly eye cream in the fridge=always in order particularly to battle my puffs!
7/27/10 14:13 puranki:
a must for face masks and eye creams!
7/27/10 14:16 the Muse:
absolut puranki!
7/27/10 14:31 tina:
sure do! I store all my lush products in the fridge! I live in a humid place so, everything melts if I don't put the products in there~
7/27/10 14:36 the Muse:
ugh tina bless, I can't stand the humidity. Heat I'm cool with but humidity stinks!
7/27/10 14:46 tina:
yea i know, I'm from texas so we have humidity all year round
7/27/10 14:52 the Muse:
eep tina! My aunt and cousins live in Humble! Crazy heat
7/27/10 15:49 Stavroula Plag:
I put eyeliner pencils and lipsticks in the fridge, otherwise they might melt (it's too hot here in Greece) ! I also put my moisturizers (face and body) in the fridge because I love the cooling sensation they give!
7/27/10 16:39 the Muse:
oh awesome you're in Greece Stav! send me some delicious food hehe. Quite a fan of Greek food
7/27/10 16:59 kat:
I hear nail polish lasts longer in the fridge. I don't do it, because i don't have a mini one like you but I'm thinking of purchasing one since I enjoy nail polish so much. =]
7/28/10 13:05 the Muse:
hey kat that's a new one, never though about polish in the fridge. think geek always has sales if you're interested in this little guy or NOW is really a great time since target and such have alot of smaller fridges on sale for back to school college students
7/27/10 22:15 Paloma:
Dude, I love ThinkGeek!!!! I have yet to get anything from there, but I've been eyeballing a lot of decorative, electronic, household, child and Doctor Who stuff there!!!!
7/28/10 9:15 the Muse:
me too paloma I fear I'm a chronic shopper at thinkgeek and jinx. Should sign my salary over to 'em!
7/28/10 0:03 Ally:
The eggs compartment(?) on the fridge door with the little slide up cover thing is usually where I keep my beauty products
1. A couple eye gel/creams for puffy eyes in the morning!
2. Sheet masks! and I apply them after shower before I go to sleep during hot summer nights.. it's very relaxing and gets me by in those hot humid time!
3. Korres Yogurt cooling gel thing in case I get sunburn
4. Lush stuffAnd that's about it :3
7/28/10 13:04 the Muse:
ha ally that wouldn't fit too much for me sadly
7/28/10 0:27 Nik:
I don't know anyone else who does this!! I do this and my boyfriend grumbled at me at first, but in a joking way. I have a black shipping box from MAC and a Clinique organizer completely stuffed and overflowing with perfume, nail polishes and Lancome creams! I think they make the fridge beautiful though, ahhh brings a sweet feeling in my heart when I see MAC and Chanel polish while I get diet 7up !
7/29/10 10:04 the Muse:
LOL nik you're adorable
7/28/10 2:41 Kat:
I live in a humid tropical climate where things rot quickly while year long use of air-conditioning to cool the bedrooms at night tend to dry out my benefit creme e/s.
We have a wine chiller that's unused, sometimes I'm tempted to use that for my perfumes but its way too large to stash in my bedroom.
Right now, I do keep some of my HABA toners (because they come in such huge bottles!) and perfume in the common fridge.
7/28/10 9:01 the Muse:
ha kat not a bad idea! you should do it nothing wrong with converting the wine chiller into the makeup fridge hehe!
7/28/10 11:36 Pooja:
Believe it or not my husband uses more lush than me&he has the top shelf corner of the fridge reserved for him..I just use their solid soaps&fresh mask,chances are I will easily forget if I put more than a mask in the fridge,but your fridge looks cute…A bit off topic but I have been a subscriber of ur blog from Switzerland,but now that I finally moved to California,I can actually buy the stuff u write about¬ pay international shipping,Thx for your awesome blog.
7/28/10 13:00 the Muse:

Pathogens possess the inherent ability to cross anatomic barriers or breach other host defenses that limit the microbes that make up our normal flora. A significant part of human evolution has gone into developing ways to thwart microbial intrusion. In turn, microbes have come up with clever ways to avoid and circumvent host defenses but human — microbe interactions is still a "Work in Progress."

Owner's Box
eBook (PDF), 58 Pages
Download immediately.
With the extreme wing of the Republican party in Texas, name calling doesn't end in the third grade. From the Empower Texas PAC to the Texas Public Policy Foundation, from the Club for Growth to Grover Norquist's Wednesday Group, all of these groups share a single philosophy — "to cut government in half in twenty-five years to get it down to the size where we can drown it in the bathtub" — and share most of the same paymasters.
So, how do all these groups get funded? Why is the message the same and what do they want? What's the real deal on the far right?
The real deal is the Owner's Box.

A day at the ballpark over Memorial Day weekend nearly turned catastrophic for an 11-year-old girl when she plummeted from the top of a climbing wall after her safety harness failed at a Miami Marlins game on Saturday.

Emily Davis was the first one up a climbing wall that had been set up for kids after the Marlins' game against the San Francisco Giants when her safety harness came loose as she began her descent back down. She fell backward, dropping 18 feet and smacking her head on the concrete below. Her father had been shooting video of her climb on his cell phone when he rushed to her side, frantically feeling for a pulse or a heartbeat.
'Be alive, be alive'
"It was, 'Be alive, be alive, be alive,''' Jeff Davis told NBC News about his initial thoughts. "Anything else we can take care from here. About that time, that's when she first started gurgling and moaning, making these beautiful noises.''
"I started coming back down, and the cable snapped and I fell on my back,'' Emily told NBC News from her hospital bed. "All I remember was seeing everything kind of fall as I was, and then I blacked out.''
Emily was taken to the Holtz Children's Hospital in Miami, where she was diagnosed with a concussion and serious bruising, but luckily no broken bones or internal organ damage. The accident is under investigation, and the Marlins said in a statement that they immediately closed the climbing wall after the girl's fall. Davis's parents told NBC News they are considering legal action.
Story: Washing machine child's mom: I'll press charges"The Marlins will continue to prioritize safety for all activities taking place at Marlins Park,'' the team said in a statement. "We wish her well in her continued recovery.''
The vendor the Marlins hired to operate the rock-climbing wall declined comment to NBC News.
It turned out that the worst part of the ordeal for Davis was wearing a neck brace in the immediate aftermath while in the hospital.
"It was kind of like a dog with those cones over your head,'' she said. "It wasn't comfortable at all.''
Video: Caught on tape: Girl falls 18 feet from rock wall (on this page)Davis has begun slowly walking again as she recovers, and her father wants to warn other parents to be careful and check the safety equipment on climbing walls before their children start playing on them. Davis also has learned a valuable lesson when it comes to being the first one up to the top of a climbing wall.
"Just make sure that several other people have gone before all of a sudden you go,'' she said, laughing.

Why must every modern architecture have blank concrete walls and glass?? Where is the colour? Where is the texture? Where is the character? I have been to Dali's own museum he designed in Figueres which has large eggs on the roof and loaves on bread on the outside of the building and he's own residence welcomes the absurd also and if i had to compare it to this "inspired by Dali" building I would say i was looking at an office building.
Lacey January 14, 2011 at 1:57 pm
I would loved to haven seen this unique architecture closer to Orlando or Miami, as I think it would be more fitting. Who knows? Maybe it would've been more expensive or simply not enough room? Either way it's beautiful.

Claiming he had a gun, the man robbed the bank just minutes after it opened for business.
The man escaped with what Tiverton Police Captain Patrick Jones said was an "undetermined amount of cash."
A teller at the bank said that the man entered the bank and demanded cash, making a threat that he had a gun, whereupon the teller handed the man the cash he'd demanded.
Captain Jones said the man then "ran out of the bank," but it was not known from witnesses whether he fled on foot or in a car, or in what direction he headed after leaving the bank after leaving the bank.
Captain Jones said the man was described by witnesses as a white male of medium build about five feet, six inches tall, and was wearing dark pants and a gray shirt. He had short dark hair and a "scruffy" beard.
The bank is located at 612 Main Road inTiverton, in the same shopping plaza on the east side of Main Road as the post office and Humphrey's Building Supply Center.
The bank, per protocol, locked down for the day after the incident.
Captain Jones said the matter is under an investigation, headed by Tiverton Lieutenant Michael Carr and Detective Jay Dunlea.
Anyone with information is asked to call the Tiverton Police Department (401-625-6722 or 401-625-6717) Captain Jones said.

Ah, Chris Pronger. He's just one of those players who can't go long without upsetting someone. The latest controversy caused by the big defenseman came after he apparently snatched what would be the "game puck" after both Game 1 and Game 2.
This leaded to a heated (if silly) exchange with Chicago Blackhawks tough guy Ben Eager. Tim Panaccio of CSN Philly captured the story.
Where's the puck, Pronger was asked.
"It's in the garbage," Pronger replied. "Where it belongs."
You shot a towel at Eager when he complained?
"So what," Pronger replied.
You're collecting pucks now?
"Why not? What's wrong? It's sitting there. What else is gonna happen to it? It's sitting there. Sure, why not. You got a problem with that?"
Are you gonna sell it on eBay?
"I don't know. Apparently, it got him upset. So I guess it worked, didn't it? It's too bad. I guess little things amuse little minds."
I have to admit, the brief hubbub surrounding this story seems a bit dumb, but vaguely entertaining. Is it fair to call Chris Pronger "The Puck Burglar" now?

Pronger can have the puck, the Blackhawks WILL take the CUP!!!!!!!!!!!

Pronger is the man

It does not matter 6-5 or 2-1 Hawks Win
only way Pronger to touch puck is to steal them after the game

"Puck Burglar" gets my vote as a phrase to describe Canadians. Much more entertaining that "Canuck"!
It would make a great team name…The Puck Burglars….

Keep the pucks, Prongy, the best road team in the NHL is paying your sh*thouse a visit tonight and Friday, and then you can play with your pucks all summer long while you wonder what ran you over the first week of June. Use 'em for fire starters when your fans burn down the city after being swept. Speed kills. Hawks in four.

Step-back year for No. 19 Wolverines
NOV 30, 2012 4:00p ET
Brady Hoke's first season, though, raised expectations and now fans are left wondering what went wrong.
This season was supposed to be the year Michigan took the big step forward, building on last year's BCS win over Virginia Tech and winning the Big Ten title. Or at least getting to the championship game.
Instead, an oddly dysfunctional team will watch Nebraska play Wisconsin in Indianapolis on Saturday. Assuming the Cornhuskers beat the underdog Badgers, the Wolverines seem destined to face Heisman favorite Johnny Manziel and Texas A&M in the Capital One Bowl.
So what went wrong?
It started, as Hoke always says, up front. Despite the presence of All-Big Ten first-team Patrick Omameh and Big Ten Offensive Lineman of the Year Taylor Lewan, the offensive line never turned into the steamroller Hoke expected.
The Wolverines never found replacements for center David Molk and tackle Mark Huyge, and the effects were devastating. While Denard Robinson was able to make plays on his own with instincts and speed, Michigan's running backs put in their worst collective performance since before World War II.
"We just didn't develop the line the way we wanted," Hoke said. "The one thing you have to do to win at this level, especially on the road, is run the ball. We were never able to do that."
The problem became obvious in the first game of the season, when Michigan was manhandled by Alabama, but there was still room for optimism. Starting tailback Fitzgerald Toussaint, who rushed for more than 1,000 yards in 2011, missed the first game after a drunk-driving arrest. Once he got back, and Michigan wasn't playing a defense as good as the Crimson Tide, the running game should have returned.
It didn't. Toussaint struggled all season before sustaining a grotesque broken leg against Iowa, and both Thomas Rawls and Vincent Smith struggled when given chances to carry the load. Hoke, though, has made it clear all season he doesn't blame his running backs.
"Yes, we need to have a couple of backs who can get us yards," he said. "But that's tough to do when the offensive line isn't giving them any holes."
With no one else to worry about, Alabama was able to focus on containing Robinson in the pocket. As he has throughout his career, he struggled badly when having to throw from that situation.
It got worse against Manti Te'o and Notre Dame. At one point, Robinson threw four straight interceptions in a 13-6 loss -- one that has gotten even more frustrating as the Irish have played themselves into the national championship game.
At the start of the Big Ten season, it looked like Robinson and a stout defense were going to be enough to keep Michigan in the title hurt. The flaws still existed, but it was a bad year for the conference. After snapping Michigan State's winning streak with a dramatic 12-10 win at the Big House, the Wolverines were on pace for big things.
That all ended the next week when Robinson injured his elbow against Nebraska. Hoke said all season that Devin Gardner had been splitting practice time between quarterback and receiver, but when Robinson left the game, Hoke decided Gardner wasn't ready to play.
That meant throwing little-used Russell Bellomy into action -- a decision that left Michigan's season in ruins. Bellomy went 3-for-13 with three interceptions, and Nebraska pulled away for the victory that gave them the Legends Division title.
Gardner took over the next week, and played extremely well in wins over Minnesota and Northwestern, and things looked even brighter when Robinson returned to the lineup against Iowa. The pair took the field together on several occasions, and Iowa's constant focus on Robinson let Gardner put up six touchdowns -- three through the air and three on the ground.
That meant a final showdown with undefeated Ohio State. Nebraska already had clinched the division title, but a win would have put Michigan back into contention for a BCS berth, and it looked promising at halftime. The Wolverines led 21-20, and the Gardner/Robinson partnership had put up two more big-play touchdowns -- a long run by Robinson and a bomb from Gardner to Roy Roundtree.
In the second half, Michigan's defense did its job, holding the Buckeyes to a pair of field goals. All Michigan needed was one touchdown to win the game, but it never got close. The Wolverines never crossed midfield as Hoke and offensive coordinator Al Borges abandoned the idea of having both quarterbacks on the field.
Robinson spent much of the third quarter taking shotgun snaps and running futilely into the middle of the line, and when that didn't work, Michigan put Gardner in to throw pass after pass with Robinson on the sidelines.
Hoke is a defensive-line specialist, so he left the offense in Borges' hands. After the Ohio State game, he insisted he wouldn't have changed anything.
"I thought our play-calling has been just where it has needed to be," he said. "We just had too many self-inflicted wounds."
So a season that started with two goals -- beating Ohio State and winning the Big Ten title -- fell short on both counts. Next week, the Wolverines will start preparing for a bowl matchup and, just as importantly, for 2013. Gardner will be the full-time quarterback, and the goals will be the same.
He'll still need help, though.

The first collection by Wells Tower, winner of two Pushcart Prizes and the Plimpton Prize.
Everything Ravaged, Everything Burned by Wells Tower
In the title story of Wells Tower's fantastic new collection of short stories, "Everything Ravaged, Everything Burned," a bunch of Vikings sail off to investigate who's sent a couple of plagues their way, and to rectify the situation with a little old-fashioned pillaging. "Most of the others on board were young men," says Harald, the narrator, "brash and violent children, so innocent about the world, they would just as soon stick a knife in you as shake your hand."
Harald doesn't particularly want to go on another sacking party. But he and a couple other reluctant friends give in and go along anyway, even though they're getting old and tired, and sacking is a lot of work. So they give it a half-hearted effort, and one of them even finds a one-armed wife (see: previous raid) before they head back home to finally settle down.
If the story sounds dark, it's actually much funnier than it should be, as are all the stories in "Everything Ravaged." The others, however, are about Americans rather than Vikings, yet they are of an odd piece: Each one mixes humor and violence and pathos in a way that makes Tower's collection a strangely affecting menagerie of busted-up lives people are trying to put together. But whether they're about Vikings or Realtors or inventors, each story crackles with tension.
In one, a man gives a long ride to his ex-wife's new husband. In another, an old cripple befriends (and propositions) a woman he thinks is a prostitute. In another, a girl is nearly kidnapped by a vagrant she kisses. In another, a man invites his estranged brother to the house he's building on a mountainside. These are stories with black eyes and broken noses and bruised hearts.
Why they don't feel bleaker is hard to say. Maybe it's because of what's at their core, a kind of love for people doing their best to make sense of senseless lives, to mend bonds they don't know how they broke and to make their way though life without inflicting too much damage on those close to them. Which, as Harald realizes, may be the hardest task of all, given "how terrible love can be."
"You wish you hated those people," he says after finally starting his own family, "your wife and children, because you know the things the world will do to them, because you have done some of those things yourself."

This is a song I sang and and produced.
The original is by Eiffel 65.
Hope you enjoy it :)
Rated 4.5 / 5 stars
I liked it.
However, I liked the layout you had for the original take you had on the song. It gave the song a bounciness that the original lacked and made it more enjoyable for me, personally.
I would have liked to see the other verses in there too, because its fun to see what and individual will do with their covers.
9/10 5/5 Love'd it. Roll with the momentum homie-g-dawg-slice. (LOL :P)

I love Eiffel 65 so you get a 10 fo sho.
You mentioned the track this time so get ready for an actual review Luv! No instant 0. Thats behind us like water under a bridge and goin to tha fridge gonna get some food and WAT.
** You can assume everything I don't mention is nice as it is. I'll just point out things that stuck out to me.**
The vocoded part at 45 seconds is super loud as well as the effect used at :15, :59, 1:26, 1:42, and 2:37 seconds. The impact effect at 1:27 clips hardcore. Your voice is a little bit too thin in my opinion and maybe just a little too high range and not enough low range in my opinion, but this could be fixed in the mixer with those same vocals. It ends super abruptly. :|
Well thats everything that came to mind that could be changed. Overall I liked it. I'm a sucker for Eiffel 65 and so.. Well played dude!
-- Chris
Rated 5 / 5 stars
Wish it had more words, but..
If Maverlyn hadn't pointed out that this should be used for a soccer commercial, I would never have thought of using this for the Buffalo Sabres-my home team. So, with that said, you get a 10 : ) Imma go use it now : )

He has been a regular user of the new park since it opened a few weeks ago and says while he wondered how kayakers would feel about a surfer using their water, kayakers had been ''super friendly''. The way to avoid being swept downstream was to find the ''sweet spot'' - then a surfer could ride the river all day long, he said.

Natalie's Fighting Spirit
ANNA-- It's easy to cheer for Natalie Marshall-- bubbly and bright, this
Anna sixth grader quickly leaves a lasting impression. "You meet that girl for 5 minutes and she'll change your world and perspective on a lot of things, just the joy that she brings to life," said SIU linebacker Connor James. SIU safety Mike McElroy added, "I was trying to put myself in this same situation where what would I be like. Would I be someone who can still bring joy to other people and it's tough, what she's gone through and what her family's gone through." At the impressionable age of eleven, Marshall was the driving force behind an SIU athletics toy drive to benefit children's cancer and Cardinal Glennon Hospital. It's a cause that's especially close to Natalie's heart because she is one of those patients. "When I first got diagnosed, the doctors told me I might not lose my hair and then later on it fell out, and I was real sad," said Natalie Marshall. Her Mom, Shelley Marshall agreed, "It has been very hard. I like to describe it, it's the first thing I think about when I wake up in the morning, wondering if she's okay or feeling okay, and it's the last thing I think about at night." Now, nearly two and a half years after she was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia, Natalie is celebrating, the final round of chemo and with her, the 2,000 plus toys she and SIU have helped raise. "What brings me the most joy, is this is what Natalie wanted to do and the fact she wants to help others when she could just say this is over, she made this into something special," said Shelley. But the realities of childhood cancer aren't easy. "It's way more hard for kids than it is for grown-ups, because kids don't know what's going on," said Natalie. And still, the Marshalls' admit, much more needs to be done. "Her leukemia is very treatable, the treatment is hard, but there is other childhood cancer that needs more research because children die, because children shouldn't die from cancer, children shouldn't die period," said Shelley. And more than two and a half years after she first walked into Cardinal Glennon hospital, Natalie Marshall and her family can rest easy, a return to normalcy, the cancer is gone, but not the need for awareness.
