Mountain-climbing judge's biggest molehill: Fighting cancer

Snohomish County Superior Court Judge Marybeth Dingledy climbs to a high camp on the second day of her trip last summer to summit Mount Rainier. Dingledy has made many treks with the Climb to Fight Breast Cancer, which benefits Seattle's Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center.
She steps it up -- way up.
On Wednesday, the 43-year-old was officially back at work, but not from a fun-filled Christmas vacation. Dingledy, appointed to the bench a year ago, was recovering from a double mastectomy. She had surgery Dec. 5.
With her intrepid spirit, she plans to celebrate her recovery by climbing Alaska's Denali, the highest peak in North America. Her recent surgery wasn't the first time Dingledy coped with a health challenge. And the Denali climb in June won't be the first time she'll turn trouble into triumph.
"I didn't panic about it," Dingledy said Wednesday about the mastectomy. "I knew the potential was there. I had a lot of time to prepare."
It was 2009, before her trek that summer up Africa's Mount Kilimanjaro, that Dingledy first was interviewed for this column. Then an attorney with the Snohomish County Public Defender Association, she told how in 2003 she learned she had inherited an altered BRCA2 gene.
People with a mutated BRCA1 or BRCA2 gene, according to the National Cancer Institute, have a much higher than normal risk of developing breast or ovarian cancer.
In a great leap beyond the specter of her genetics, Dingledy decided to climb mountains. She summited Mount Baker in 2006 in her first trek with the Climb to Fight Breast Cancer, a fundraiser for Seattle's Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center.
She has since climbed Mount Olympus in Olympic National Park, Mount Kilimanjaro, Iztaccihuatl and Pico de Orizaba in Mexico, and has twice summited Mount Rainier. She also climbed Mount Shasta, but didn't reach the top.
In October 2011, Dingledy took a serious step to improve her chances of dodging cancer. On the advice of doctors at Seattle Cancer Care Alliance, she had a preventative hysterectomy, which is removal of the uterus, and had her ovaries removed. That reduced her risk for both ovarian and breast cancer.
And yet, this past July 30 she learned she had a noninvasive type of breast cancer, ductal carcinoma in situ, or DCIS. Dingledy reacted to that bad news as she has in the past, putting one foot in front of the other in big ways.
The weekend after finding out she had breast cancer, Dingledy took a two-week backpacking trip. In September, before the mastectomy, she and a friend walked 60 miles in Seattle's Susan G. Komen 3-Day walk. At the end of that breast-cancer research fundraiser, Dingledy wore a pink shirt at the closing ceremony. "A pink shirt is for survivors," she said.
She threw herself a party the weekend before she lost her breasts, which she jokingly called "the twins."
When she showed up for her mastectomy in Seattle, she wore a tiara and a pink boa. Within a week, she was up and busy. "When I got on the exercise bike in the basement, everybody yelled at me. I can't sit still," she said.
She doesn't need radiation or chemotherapy. Her focus now is on 20,320-foot Denali, also called Mount McKinley.
Dingledy shares her story on the Climb to Fight Breast Cancer ">website, but as a judge it's not appropriate for her to be involved in fundraising. "I can't ask for a donation," she said last week. Anyone who wants to can donate.
Lisa Carlson, event manager with the Climb to Fight Breast Cancer, said Friday that since Dingledy began climbing her efforts have raised almost $75,000 for cancer research. In more than 15 years, Carlson said, the climbs have raised $6.6 million for the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center. Last year, she said, 121 people participated in the fundraising climbs.
Carlson and Dingledy have become good friends, and have hiked and climbed together. "I've been particularly in awe of how willing she is to share her story," Carlson said. "She's never going to be a victim of anything. It doesn't matter what life throws at her, her glass remains half full."
Climb participants choose from 13 mountains, Carlson said. "Denali is for a serious mountaineer. This was her biggest health challenge, and she picked the biggest mountain we have," Carlson said.
Last year was also Dingledy's first in a challenging new job.
"I'm learning every day," the new judge said. "It's kind of like going back to law school. The bench here is fantastic. It's a collegial environment, with very smart judges and good people."
Her new colleagues have been kind and understanding about her health ordeal, she said.
"Lots of people get breast cancer. You can make it ruin your life or make it a source of inspiration," Dingledy said. "When I first found out I had the gene, it was a letdown. But it changed the direction of my life. It motivated me."
Since last month's surgery, Dingledy has been to her first yoga class. She wore a T-shirt that said "Cancer messed with the wrong girl."

Feb. 7, 2013 - Agency of the Month
Listen to the full show.
Jump to main content.
Tuesday - 2/5/2013, 4:23pm EST
Listen to the full show.
Self-service kiosks are everywhere these days — at subway stations, the grocery store, even your doctor's office. But up until now, U.S. Customs and Border Protection has only offered automated services for a select group of pre-enrolled passengers.
That's all about to change. As early as this spring, CBP will roll out a kiosk that everyone can use. Called automated passport control, the kiosks will process the general customs and declaration information that all travelers must complete. Right now, travelers must fill out a paper form before their flight lands, which is then processed by a CBP officer.
John Wagner, CBP (bio)
"It's getting rid of paper forms, so [passengers] don't have to fill them out on the plane, and spend 20 minutes looking for a pen," said John Wagner, CBP's executive director for Admissibility and Passenger Programs, on Federal News Radio's Agency of the Month. "Or they're halfway filled out when they arrive, and then we spend the officer time helping fill out the forms as the line starts backing up."
Most customs information is received electronically in advance, so the time and cost of processing and storing paper documents is no longer necessary for today's CBP.
"It's about getting ourselves out of the paper form business," Wagner said. "By doing this we're taking our CBP officer, we're focusing on, really, the critical part of that inspection process of a traveler. And that's questioning them about the purpose and the intent of their travel, and looking at their behavioral characteristics as they respond."
CBP hopes to transform the inspection process with the kiosks, Wagner said. But for some local governments and federal agencies, the transformation may be coming too quickly.
Kiosks were also planned for the I-94 form, which all visa holders must fill out to enter the United States — about 25 percent of travelers. But in consulting with agency partners, CBP realized going paperless could be problematic.
"It's very important for other government agencies that rely on that form to do a lot of their critical work, like Citizenship and Immigration Services, the Social Security Administration, the Department of Motor Vehicles," Wagner said. "It's about working with them so they can adjust their operations; if we go to an automated format of this that they're able to continue to function."
CBP will resolve the issue by posting the form in a secured area online, so visa holders can download the form whenever they need it.
"It's really going to save us millions of dollars a year in data-entry costs, and really in officer efficiency and processing times," he said.
Building on past success
If this seems like uncharted territory for CBP, it shouldn't. The success of the Global Entry program has given the agency wind in its sails.
Global Entry is a clearance program for frequent, low-risk travelers.
Pre-approved applicants use a kiosk that scans their passport and fingerprints for expedited clearance.
In only a few years, the pilot has expanded to more than 40 major airports. It became permanent in March 2012, with further expansion planned.
In January, Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano announced the expansion of Global Entry to Saudi Arabia.
"It addresses any type of security concerns and risk concerns we have through the process and the background checks we do," Wagner said. "It really allows us to start to reinvest those resources we would ordinarily spend on them."
The new pilot program? Smartphones
That reinvestment of resources includes a mobile device for CBP officers, allowing for database queries without having to go back to an office computer. It isn't just faster for the customer and cheaper for the agency — it's also safer for officers.
"When they encounter a traveler they can have their queries run right through a handheld device right there, and get any types of warrants, enforcement records while the traveler is there with them, in real time," Wagner said.
Kiosks are also planned for those traveling without checked baggage, like airline workers, and travelers with tight connections.

Where to go for high quality printing?
I'm curious to where big Fortune 500 companies such as Apple, Microsoft, Acura, Lexus, etc get all their marketing material printed?
I am in search for a new place to get all my stuff printed from that I can fully depend on. Seems like a lot of these local print shops in my city are very inconsistent when it comes to quality and color matching.
The place I work for sends its file out to a printer and puts it on a gang run. I was told that this is how most printers do it to save time, money and cut down costs and that they usually don't accept just 1 business card. I'm not too familiar with how these print shops work. Maybe someone can educate me here so that I know who to avoid.
I absolutely love the quality of brochures and most printed materials I see at places like the car dealerships, the quality is definitely there. I am desperate to finding a good printing place that can give me results like that each and everytime I send them my job for printing.
|Feb 10, 2011, 05:09 AM
It's all relative and depends on your client demands.
Where are you? (I'm guessing the US?) Might be worth posting your location and asking for some recommendations. (If you were in the UK I could recommend some.) Things are so tough for printers at the moment that I'm always glad to recommend good ones to other people as I want to keep them in business. Most of my best printers have come via word of mouth.
Also - bear in mind that you often only find out how good a printer really is until there's a problem with a job. You want someone who works with you to sort the problem and is open in the last resort to financial recompense to you or your client. Those are the ones I'd really recommend.
If you find a good one they're normally delighted to show you around and explain everything (the good ones are proud of their kit). You just need to ask.
|Feb 10, 2011, 07:48 AM
Most online "get business cards cheap!" printers do gang printing of items - it's really the only way to make printing 500 orders of 250 business cards a profitable endeavor.
That said, there are tens of thousands of printing companies in the United States, many who can meet or exceed the quality seen on the brochures you reference. If there's a look you want to achieve, it's best to have examples of that to share with the printer so they can advise on the best stock/ink/coating combination to get your desired result.
Aw, cheese.

Yes I am located in Houston, TX. I was looking online at places like modernpostcard.com to see if they're any good. I've been sending some of my work to bcthouston.com which uses a Canon 7000VP digital press and the quality seems bad. Dark gray text on a white background appears brown, and the font don't look sharp and crisp, but seems kind of blurry. Also this other place I use to go to uses a Heidelberg Offset Press, and the quality and color was horrible as well.
I see a lot of nicely designed and printed business cards on here and was curious where most of them get their stuff printed. I am in the market for a new job and trying to update my portfolio. I want to make sure my stuff comes out nice this time so I'm very concerned about quality. But there's no way I need to print in high quantities. 1 or 2 copies at most since this will be placed in my portfolio. I have business cards, brochures, postcards, posters, etc.
It seems kinda strange that I get even better quality than offset and digital printers by using the laser printer in my office. Which we use for proofing. The text is sharp, color is pretty accurate. We have 2 big laser printer/copiers and they are the Xerox DocuColor 242 and an Ikon Business Pro 550c. These are just standard laser printers that our company leases and yet the results are better then full commercial offset or digital printers. Why is that?
What kind of printer would yield better results, a commercial offset or a digital press?

Ok, you don't give your background, but you seem to have some knowledge in the printing world. Anyways are all your files compliant with the print house? CMYK, RGB, ect. Are you using a color book? Calibrated monitor? Remember the colors on your screen may not correspond with the printing. Tough to give any advice when we don't have a full understanding of your knowledge.
Lots of variables, and no way to really know what is the issue. Could be the print houses, but even then I've had pretty good luck on color from some cheap places and large places as well. Its all in trusting the profiles from the printers as well as having a really good relationship with the printer and color accurate monitors.

Also the paper you choose to use will greatly affect the quality and price of the job. You can double or triple the price for a job just by choosing a different kind of paper. Then comes the finishing, like UV or laminating which give extra protection and a higher quality feel to your printouts.
Each printing house has it's own process and specifications on how the design should be set up for offset so be sure to talk to them beforehand.

the dirty little secret...
A lot of designers use online printers...
I live in an area surrounded by scads of printers in a 75 mile radius, many of which I have used at one time or another. Most are consistent with slow quotes, slow turnaround, and being a bit... expensive. About nine years ago I made a switch and started shipping jobs out of the area, and was pleasantly surprised.
The tipping point was a fairly simple b/w job with a 4/c cover. It took almost two weeks to get a proof, it took another 2 weeks to ship the job. Ridiculous.
I went online, plopped in the particulars, the run size... and I had an instant quote. Job was a lot cheaper, and was able to run in all 4/c as well. Job was actually on press a week earlier than I would have had my proof back from my other guy (who I had used for about 7 years).
For very short runs, buy a decent printer. I have a Canon Pro 9000 mkII, that is VERY fast, produces gorgeous prints, borderless 13x19 stuff. Stick with OEM ink, and mostly OEM paper to avoid headaches. Yes, it sucks ink down... which is why you can find it pretty cheaply. The think it retails somewhere around $500, but I picked it up just under $300 using a discount & a $100 rebate. It replaced my old dog slow Epson, that could take 30 minutes to churn out a 11x17, and constantly suffered from clogged cartridges (and cost more than twice the cost).
Avoid gang run printers if you can. Most are pretty upfront and honest about how they run their work. The digital presses have gotten better, but IMO are still way below offset or what you can print out yourself.
I consistently use these companies, and you will find that some are more suited to certain types of jobs (as evidenced by their pricing), but there are tons of competitors. I expect to be treated professionally whether I am printing a run of 250, or 250,000 (and you should too).
The downside is that the work is only as good as the quality of your files, and there is very little hand holding (although the customer service is pretty good). I can upload a job, and sometimes within minutes I have a PDF proof to send to press (which is much like how my larger web offset printing company works). You will pay for speed though, and cutting days off production or shipping at a faster rate will cost you... so try and stick with standard turn around (which vary from printer to printer), and ground shipping.
It's a leap of faith the first time to move to a non-local vendor, but over the last nine years my experience has been great, and I wouldn't go back.
|Feb 11, 2011, 09:52 PM
I have worked in Print for over 25 years ... if you know what you want ... look at some Trade Printers (they also print for other Printing Companies so their quality is usually the best)
And yes avoid gang printing as your projects will get no attention at all.
Also I find for the best results ... try to find a company that will run your job a fairly new Heidelberg Press.

If we get 24 hours to show a proof, it's a long time (for physical proofs). For online proofing, clients want their proofs within an hour or two of providing files, even at 3 in the morning.
I would agree that looking towards the top of the Printing Impressions 400 is a good idea if you have any volume of work. Printers of this size didn't get where they are by screwing up work (and they also have the ability to stand behind there work if something goes wrong and make it right, fast).
And you should NEVER allow your work to be gang run with other work. When the press crew is running the job, their only focus should be on the quality of your piece, nothing else.
In today's very competitive print market, the client holds all the cards. Keep that in mind when looking at printing companies.
I would recommend a plant visit for any new printer your looking at. If you walk in and theres buckets catching water from a leaky roof and there is duct tape holding the press together, walk right back out.

If your talking quality, offset (sheetfed for higher quality and heatset web for faster production) is going to look better (and rotogravure is going to look better than that).
There, of course, are advantages to running digital. Up to 100% of your piece can change with each impression, something that can't be done with offset. If your running a flyer and want it personalized for each person it's going to, digital is for you.
Most of the car brochure things your looking at were probably UV coated or at the least, varnished.

While you gain the luxury of micro customization on a digital press, the cost per piece is usually fairly high, and the quality below offset, or even your own inkjet printer. Not saying there isn't a place where digital is the only option, but the advent of digital printers brought a lot of offset folks to reexamine their pricing and business practices... And usually printers will have both as an option.
My web printer provides hard copy proofs the next day, and I won't work with anyone that takes more than 3 days to process and ship a proof if a physical one is needed. In many ways the client is finally is control, and if you are not happy with the quality/ service it is easy to find a printer who actually wants/values your business, large or small.
Let me amend my statement a bit... The biggest factor on cost will be time. You can easily double the overall cost with rush charges and expedited shipping...
|Feb 13, 2011, 03:28 PM
Yes, if your running a large run, $800 in plates is a small part of the overall cost (assuming 64 inch sheetfed plates, 4/4, at $100/each).
If your running 500 impressions, $800 in plates would be a very large part of the total bill, if not more than all other parts combined (prepress, ink, paper, press and bindery time).
And I do agree with you, Michael, that the client is really in the drivers seat in today's print market. Printers today are producing work at the smallest margins ever seen and undercutting everyone else's prices on work that they would have not even let in the door before.
That is, of course, a good thing for the client.

Discounts of 25-60% are not uncommon (on top of pretty aggressive pricing), if you are lucky enough to have a need that matches an available discount.
It is a good time to be a designer if you are savvy enough to work the sales to your advantage. I routinely pitch jobs to my clients when specials pop up...
and its a win win, client saves money, and I get a job out of it...
The margins are scary tight, but the efficiency is hugely improved over the days of yore, and that is a good thing. I don't miss the monthly all nighters waiting for proofs & revisions camped at our prepress company at all...
|Feb 15, 2011, 02:04 AM
The last company you posted (www.printingforless.com) was just recently on the cover of Printing Impressions, I believe. Looked like a good company to work for, if you live in the middle of nowhere Montana).
My original post had a quote about digital sucking in terms quality. I was going to defend true digital presses (and not xerox laser printers), but I just don't have the energy. It's 2:15 AM, CST, after all...

Since your in Houston, you might want to try:
1.800.794.5594 Ask for Shane Savage. He can send you samples.
I have done business with Copycraft for years and I have had no issues. And if they screw up your job, they will reprint it for free......
They have done flyers for me, stationary, 3 page 4C tourism brochures, and trifold brochures for me. I have never been disappointed with there proofs or their printing.
Hope this helps.

For small runs, use a small shop. You'll get better service, and more consistent quality.
|Feb 18, 2011, 06:20 AM
Actually having read the OP's further posts - I think it sounds like they want just one or two prints of each job for their portfolio.
I'd suggest they make friends with some one who's got a top notch inkjet with a postscript rip. Say a designjet or something.
Get some proper inkjet heavy matt stock and you should get some brilliant results. (There will probably be some swearing and cursing at the Rip software and the usual inkjet frustrations with jammed paper - ink running out after 6 prints etc.) but the results will be great for a portfolio.
|Feb 18, 2011, 02:29 PM
Edge to edge 13x19s, speedy fast, beautiful output (drinks inks like a devil though). Use OEM ink and paper for easiest & consistent matching. You can find them pretty cheap on Ebay (new, in boxes). There was a promo that gave them away with the purchase of a certain camera back about six months ago. Canon also had a rebate program for $100 off for awhile (feeling guilty about the voracious ink consumption I'll wager).
No RIP needed for most things these days (at least for print work). No jamming issues, as it has a straight feed tray you can use an an option. I run high rag watercolor paper with no problem. Just love the thing. My Epson took 30+ minutes for a 13x19, this is under 5 minutes... priceless.
|Feb 28, 2011, 10:45 PM
I also love the quality of most printed materials, because quality is always better than quantity. MisterMe you said right. If you love the materials at a car dealership or anywhere locally, you must ask the responsible person for information. If you find a good one that shows you around and explain everything then you just need to ask.
|Mar 4, 2011, 07:50 AM
My experience with an offset printer was bad. And I agree with ' jeremy h that though the company is big, it doesnt mean they have the best printer. Cost always matters. Best quality material generally comes at a comparatively higher cost. Some of them may have their own printing equipment, but most of them give their printing jobs outside.
|Mar 23, 2011, 06:12 PM
Thanks to everyone for your advice and opinions. Let me clear a few things up. Jeremy is correct. I am only interested in printing maybe 1 or 2 copies of each job whether they are brochures, business cards, postcards, posters, etc. They are going in my portfolio so I don't need large quantities. With that being said my next question for you guys is, how do avoid putting your work on a gangrun? If I were to get let's say 2 copies of a brochure or multipage catalog at an offset printer, wouldn't it cost insanely high since I am not printing in high volume? At my work place we have leased 2 laser ink jets to do in-house printing for small jobs. Would it be a better idea for me to use the printers at work to print out stuff for my portfolio since I am only requiring a very low quantity for each job? The printers are a Xerox DocuColor 242 with a built-in fiery controller and the other one is an Ikon Business Class Pro 550. The odd thing is when I print a proof on those printers using RGB color in my print ready file, it comes out looking very vivid and vibrant whereas when I set my file to CMYK the printout comes out very dull and washed out. I'm guessing the only time you need to set your file to CMYK is when sending it out to an offset printer or digital press? Otherwise stick to RGB when printing on office laser jets or home inkjet printers.
Another option would be for me to print my stuff at home since I already own a canon inkjet printer. It's your average all in one machine so it's nothing special. However my concern with that is, would it be possible to use heavier stock like 12 or 14pt for business cards and such? I'm not really a fan of that shiny UV coating and prefer the normal look which I assume is a regular non-gloss stock. I don't think I'll be able to print much from my home inkjet since most of my jobs would be printed on a thicker stock. So I guess printing at home is out of the question. Perhaps brochures would be the only thing I can do since that doesn't require thick stock. Not to mention printing a double sided job would probably be frustrating trying to get both sides to line up accurately. I guess my only bet is to do it at work then. Or perhaps kinkos?

The Night Owl
Another crazy day and relatively uneventful night in the BB 15 house.
Judd started out the morning talking to Elissa for a really long time about why he did not want to work with Amanda and McCrae and his feelings on them in general. He explained to her why he thought that the two of them needed people to work with and could possibly work with Spencer and Andy and GinaMarie so that they are not alone going into this next week etc.. Everything he said made sense and for the most part of the conversation Elissa was cool, but she was of course still adamant about wanting to put up Andy instead of GinaMarie. Judd told her to do what she wanted to do, but that he just wanted to do what was best for them. Keep in mind that Judd thinks Amanda and McCrae are voting Andy out and that GinaMarie is the swing vote.
After Judd came downstairs, shit was immediately stirred when Aaryn told Andy that she knew for a fact Judd was upstairs telling Elissa to put him on the block instead of GinaMarie (completely false obviously). Andy asked Judd about it and told him that he believed him over Aaryn, and judd went off to confront Aaryn. He basically just called her on her bullshit and then walked away. I cannot rave enough about how much I love Judd 2.0 that does not give a shit what Aaryn or Amanda think of him.
Things seemed like they might calm down for a little while and I kind of wasn't paying attention until all of the sudden Elissa and McCrae were arguing because Elissa thought McCrae and Amanda had gone through or touched her things and stolen some balls from a comp from her. Elissa had apparently moved some of McCrae's clothes so they would all be in the same place instead of spread out in different drawers. They went tit for tat for a few minutes with a few biting comments to each other and then literally fought to get to the DR first to be the first one to ask if other HGs were allowed to touch each others things. No it's not daycare, guys, it's BB 15.
Never one to be left out of a fight, Amanda of course came outside to put her 2 cents in and started first telling Elissa that she is a bad mom and saying that her husband is 75 years old. She then told her that "She should have been a blowjob but got stuck in the wrong hole". Things pretty much went nuts from there. Elissa kept laughing and went inside, but Amanda had bigger plans for the day.
Amanda was and is still determined to try to get GinaMarie on the block so that she can keep Aaryn for herself (when really she doesn't have the votes either way. Andy and Spencer confirmed many times and even told McCrae today that they would have to keep GinaMarie and that Aaryn has to go.). So, Amanda dressed herself in some kind of makeup to make herself look like "New Years Granny" and went around blowing horns in Elissa's ear, and screaming random things about hating her and America hating her etc.. for the rest of the day. It was all rather amusing in my opinion if not a little watered down and weak in comparison to people who have done similar things in seasons past. GinaMarie's face in the following picture is just a happy accident. I don't know what was being said to her.
After hours of Amanda putting ketchup on pads and blowing horns, we got trivia, and when the feeds returned Amanda was talking about how she had been told she had to cool it for a while. The details are unclear, but apparently BB told her she can't do anything that makes Elissa feel afraid or threatened. Amanda spent a good portion of the rest of the night reading the BB rule book to find out what she was and wasn't allowed to do to Elissa.
None of what Amanda was trying to accomplish worked. Her plan was to have Andy comfort Elissa and that way Elissa would think he wasn't working with her and wouldn't put him on the block. Elissa was unphased in the way of nominations though and still intends to put Andy up. She went a step further when she came outside to talk to Andy and Spencer, and Andy told her that GinaMarie had refused to commit her vote to keeping him. Elissa called GinaMarie outside in front of them plus Judd and asked her if she put up Andy would GinaMarie vote how she wanted. GinaMarie said she would, and Elissa said "that's all I needed to know" then went inside her HOH and locked the door and wouldn't let Andy in.
Andy and Spencer agreed later on in the night that since the whole "Amanda and McCrae will vote him out" thing is fake and he has the votes to stay, it is probably better for him to go on the block than GinaMarie, because that way they can get rid of Aaryn without having to fight Amanda about it. Andy even shut Judd down who was still trying to help him by telling him that he didn't want him to get himself nominated, so to not bother pushing Elissa anymore with the idea of putting up GinaMarie and just let her nominate him.
Amanda and McCrae are of course still planning on keeping Andy at this point even though Amanda pulled this elaborate scheme and acted liek they were voting him out, so a good bit of their planning with Andy tonight was how to deal with Judd because obviously Aaryn will run to him and tell him that the plan was all fake. So the plan is that after Andy goes up for nomination tomorrow, McCrae will pull Judd aside and let him know that the plan was all to try to save Andy from the block, and that Andy didn't know about it, and they were not sure if they could trust Judd yet, so they just let him go along with it. This way Andy's hands stay clean, and it (in Amanda and McCrae's mind anyway) will build some trust back between Judd and McCrae.
Judd spent a good portion of his night talking with Andy and Spencer about what could happen in the coming weeks and just having general chit chat with them. They all agree that Amanda and McCrae need to be split up. Andy has added that he may have to get rid of Elissa first though as he is afraid after she gets rid of Aaryn, he will be her next target. When Judd walked away a few times, Andy and Spencer both agreed that they might want to get rid of Elissa this coming week and then split up McCrae and Amanda, and then GinaMarie if they have any control at all in the coming weeks. This is good news for Judd if either of them get power, but we all know the likelihood of that. And yes, I am still aware of Andy's flip flops between being loyal to Amanda vs being loyal to Judd and Spencer. Right now I think it could go either way depending on who gets HOH this coming week.
After things had mostly settled down and all were in their beds except Andy, Spencer, and Judd, GinaMarie could hear Aaryn still laughing and whispering with Amanda. Aaryn really has played this whole thing with GinaMarie very VERY badly. She knows that GinaMarie hates Amanda, but has not even tried to not tattle everything GM says to Amanda and spends most of her time trying to crawl up Amanda's ass. I guess it got to be too much for GM, because she got out of bed and marched outside to the hammock clearly annoyed. Judd, Spencer, and Andy all went to talk to her and she ranted for a really long time about Aaryn and the way she is being treated by her. She hates that Aaryn chooses Amanda over her all the time and that Aaryn pits her against every EXCEPT Aaryn. She brought up a lot of things and it was a pretty fiery rant, but I thought it was amusing to watch to say the least. I kind of like fired up GM. Spencer, Judd, and Andy all assured her that even if she was the one to go up instead of Andy, they would all keep her and boot Aaryn anyway. They told her that they wanted to work with her and Judd told her he was on the same page with her wanting to split up Amanda and McCrae by getting rid of Amanda.
Where GinaMarie's vote lies at this point is a TOTAL mystery, which is unusual for me as a feed watcher. I usually know because each person usually has someone you can tell they are being truthful with. I can't tell with GM though. She told Aaryn and Amanda that people are stupid if they think she would ever vote against Aaryn, but she has promised her vote to Andy and promised Elissa that she will vote Aaryn out as well. So who knows. In the end it will only matter if Amanda and McCrae actually flip and try to oust Andy instead of booting Aaryn, which I am doubting will happen, but never say never..
Things are mostly winding down now and I think everyone will be heading to their beds soon. I expect to see Andy put on the block in place of McCrae at the veto ceremony this morning barring anything strange happening to make Elissa shift her crazy eyes to a different target. I'm pretty sure she is dead set on Andy and there is no changing it though. We will have to wait until close to Thursday to see if Amanda gets her paranoia good and revved up and decides to take a stab at getting rid of Andy (which I could totally see happening).
As always, you guys can follow me on twitter @ashes2ashes13 for more overnight feed updates. Until tomorrow night...

Bartok: Piano Music, Vol. 2: Dance Suite; Improvisations on Hungarian Peasant Songs; Romanian Christmas Carols
This second Bartók volume by Naxos's resident pianist covers some exhilarating repertoire, and is altogether a bargain. The Hungarian Jandó, even if his playing lacks the last degree of tonal finesse or 'vocal' nuance, is an alert and strongly authoritative Bartókian. Max Loppert

The Importance of the 1994 Elections
This year's midterm elections have important stakes. On the eve of the elections the Athenaeum is hosting a discussion of the meaning and importance of what could happen on election day. Four of CMC's leaders-in-the-making will analyze and debate some of the major questions of this year's elections, issues of significance at the state and federal levels.
Major national races this year point to what could be a substantial shift in American politics. Andrew Mittler '95 and Zackary Erickson '95 will present an interpretation and appraisal of the most crucial of these races. Both students have participated in CMC's Washington semester and have gained insight concerning political trends. Erickson is a researcher for the Henry Salvatori Center. Mittler interned at the Democratic National Campaign Committee headquarters and also heads the James Madison Society.
Californian politics hold important questions for voters this year. The race for governor has brought state and local news to the front page. This contest pitting Kathleen Brown against Pete Wilson has been one of the most analyzed state races in recent years. Jason Goldberg '95, another Washington alumnus, has been involved in the inner workings of political campaigns prior to this year's contest. His astute political eye and honed writing skills have garnered him exposure in national publications such as the Los Angeles Times, Foreign Trade Magazine, the Washington Times, and Inside magazine. He has also worked as a speech writer for Governor Wilson.
California Proposition 187 is another hotly debated issue. The subject of immigration and residency brings up questions of the definition of citizenship and the responsibilities of government. Ana Delgado '97 has been involved in the campus-wide debate about Proposition 187 and is a future participant in the Washington semester program. She will discuss and dissect this proposition-analyzing the details of the measure and its implications.
So join us for an important presentation on the midterm elections with questions ready for some of CMC's student leaders.
Mathemagics and the Art of Mental Calculation: How to Look Like a Genius Without Really Trying
Bring your calculators! Challenge the master! Dr. Benjamin, the world's foremost lightning calculator can perform his amazing mental feats faster than Rain Man and Little Man Tate combined.
A mathematics professor at Harvey Mudd College, he has performed his special brand of magic live all over the country and on numerous television talk shows. He has been the subject of investigation by a cognitive psychologist at Carnegie Mellon University and is featured in a book called The Great Mental Calculators: The Psychologv, Methods, and Lives of Calculating Prodigies (1983). Also available is a book he authored called Mathemagics and the Art of Mental Calculation: How to Look Like A Genius Without Really Trying (1993).
In his highly entertaining and interactive show, Benjamin will perform such feats as: calculating square and cube roots, memorizing long strings of numbers, magic squares, and other mathematical oddities. What's more, you can learn the system. After his performance he will demonstrate exactly how he does the remarkable mental calculations. Join us in the fun.
Ethics and the Economic Way of Thinking
Writes economist Paul Heyne: "I wandered into economics many years ago from theology and philosophy while looking for the meaning of 'a just economy,' and stayed there because it seemed a more promising territory in which to search." By that mission statement Professor Heyne marks himself as an exceptionally well-suited participant in the Gould Center for Humanistic Studies' Ethics, Economics, and Public Policy series. Thus, it is with enormous enthusiasm that the Center welcomes Dr. Heyne to CMC to deliver the third in a series of talks on issues concerned with how most effectively to design and execute economic systems and policies that reflect a concern with social justice.
Heyne maintains that most market-coordinated systems have been created by well-meaning, altruistic people who could not have anticipated the consequences of what they were doing, and who probably would not have approved their own creations had they been able to foresee the unfortunate results to which their designs would lead. It is neither hypocrisy nor lack of compassion, Heyne believes, that accounts for much of the world's economic misery; rather, it is the misunderstanding of how to effect a desirable result. Identifying and dispelling such misunderstanding will be Heyne's charge in his Athenaeum address.
Heyne, who received his Ph.D. from the divinity school of the University of Chicago, has taught in the University of Washington's economics department since 1976. He authored the much-praised and widely used text, The Economic Way of Thinking (1973), which, after many editions, remains an evergreen in the petrified forest of superannuated books on the subject.
The Athenaeum and the Gould Center welcome everyone, especially students, to come hear what promises to be a most thoughtful and engaging discourse on ethics and the economic way of thinking.
Readings From Her Work
Karen Swenson is a writer and world traveler in the tradition of Isak Dinesen and Peter Mathiessen. Her journeys into the hidden reaches of Southeast Asia, usually alone and often at great risk, are also an exploration of the inner rivers of her own heart and mind from which she returns bearing the gift of her poetry.
In The Landlady in Bangkok, for which Swenson was awarded the 1993 National Poetry Series prize, her experiences become accessible to her readers through evocative language of great precision and clarity. With other volumes, such as A Sense of Direction (1989), East-West (1980), and An Attic of Ideals (1974), she has won acclaim with the Pushcart Prize, the Arvon Foundation in England, and the Ann Stanford Award.
Swenson taught at City College, New York, for fifteen years and has also been poet-in-residence at Skidmore College, The University of Idaho, Denver University, and Scripps College. At the Athenaeum she will be reading from her latest work, The Landlady in Bangkok (1993), which David Ignatow describes as "quintessentially of cultures in division with each other ... at times humorous with each other under strain. The book is a reader's voyage I for one have enjoyed to my enlightenment."
The Future of NATO
With the future of the former Soviet states still in question and Germany's reemergence as a major world power, the visit by Ronald Asmus to the Marian Miner Cook Athenaeum is timely.
A special guest of the Keck Center for International and Strategic Studies, Ronald Asmus is senior political scientist in the international policy department at the RAND Corporation in Santa Monica. He has received a B.A. from the University of Wisconsin and a Ph.D. from Johns Hopkins University. Asmus has led several RAND projects examining potential conflict in post-Cold War Europe: above all the implications of the instability in the East and the Mediterranean for the transatlantic relationship.
Asmus conducts ongoing research on political trends in Central Europe. He heads a survey research effort exploring public opinion trends in Germany, especially changing attitudes toward the United States.
Asmus is currently completing a book entitled Germany's New Geopolitics. He is active in organizing conferences with European institutions and is a frequent public speaker in both the United States and Europe.
The Waiting Room: Women, Husbands, and Doctors
Lisa Loomer's new play, The Waiting Room (1994), takes a satirical look at American health care and the lengths to which women go to achieve "beauty." Underlying this absurdist comedy, however, is a very important message, inspired by Loomer's mother's battle with breast cancer.
Loomer began her career as an actress and comedienne. Her works include Birds (1986), Bocon! (1989), Looking for Angels, Cuts, Chain of Life, A Crowd of Two, and Accelerando (1991). Her plays have been performed in prominent venues across the nation, as well as in Mexico and Germany. For television, she has written a movie-of-the-week, a miniseries for PBS, sitcoms, and is currently a creative consultant on Hearts Afire ( 1993) and the upcoming Women of the House. Loomer has received grants from the NEA and NYFA, and was recognized as the runner-up for this year's Susan Smith Blackburn Award. She is the winner of the Jane Chambers Award, has been nominated for an Ovation award, and is an alumna of New Dramatists.
During her Athenaeum address Lisa Loomer will discuss issues of the play, The Waiting Room, and responses to it. She welcomes the opportunity to talk with students about these issues during the discussion period after her lecture.
The Biological Basis of Schizophrenia
After graduating from CMC in 1977, William 0. Faustman went on to study one of the most intense aspects of clinical psychology: schizophrenia.
Faustman earned his Ph.D. at the University of Mississippi and now specializes in investigations of biological neuropsychology at the Stanford University Mental Health Clinical Research Center. Faustman teaches psychiatry and behavioral science at the Stanford School of Medicine. His research has been published in numerous prominent psychological journals such as Psychological Reports, The Journal of Cross-Cultural Psychology, and The Journal of Behavior Therapy and Experimental Psychiatry.
Recognized for his expertise in psychopharmacology and on issues of professional ethics, Faustman is frequently invited to major psychological professional meetings.
Faustman embodies the perfect melding of research and clinical practice and will receive the inaugural Distinguished Alumnus Award presented by the psychology department of Claremont McKenna College.
By sitting at the head table one orchestrates new strategies for world peace, redefines democracy, and ensures lifelong financial security. Well, no. Sitting at the head table with the fellows and the evening's speaker is a chance for great conversation: no topical expertise required.

Friday, May 27, 2011 -- Gov. John Hickenlooper today ordered flags be lowered to half-staff on all public buildings statewide on Monday, May 30, in observance of Memorial Day. The flags, by order of President Barack Obama, should be lowered until noon.
"We owe a great debt of gratitude to the men and woman who served our country and died while protecting our freedoms," Hickenlooper said. "We should also remember and recognize members of the U.S. military here and abroad who help make our country safer every day. Colorado is home to thousands of active-duty and retired military personnel and the family and friends who support them. We are grateful for their service and support on this Memorial Day and every day."

A:Ultrabland is a great cleanser for blemish prone skin, I would follow up with our Tea Tree Water toner and Vanishing Cream to quell future breakouts.Answered on 5/26/2015 by Alexander from Lush Direct
Q:Does this help with acne? I'm debating between getting this, fresh Pharmacy, and herbalism. Which is the best for getting rid of acne and clogged pores??
Thanks!!Asked on 4/28/2015 by Em
2 answers
A:YES! I used that one for about a year when I was having acne problems and
it helps so much. I noticed that doing it every other day or even twice a
week is better just so that your skin doesn't get used to it. And if you
see that the acne is coming back then take a break for a week and then
start using again because it is probably just your skin getting used to it!
Also everyone's skin is different so just because it worked for me doesn't
mean it'll clear you up right away.
Good luck!
CalliAnswered on 4/29/2015 by Anonymous
A:Yes, this will definitely help with your breakouts. Fresh Pharmacy is great for sensitive skin, but not for acne-prone, clogged skin.
Herbalism is great for oily, acne-prone skin, which I think can work really well for you. The kaolin clay and rice bran mops up excess oils and deep-cleanses, while a blend of rosemary, nettle, and chamomile leaves skin feeling fresh and toned. It's super gentle and moisturizing, the chlorophyllin, which is extracted from alfalfa plants contain many nourishing vitamins and minerals. This will work very well for acne-prone skin, because it will help clean it!
Angels on Bare Skin is really great too, but is more for all skin-types rather than just oily skin. Like Herbalism it has a kaolin clay base, which will deep-cleanse, while the finely ground almonds and lavender flowers gently exfoliate away dry skin. The lavender oil is great for soothing and balancing your face.Answered on 4/29/2015 by Pauline
Q:does this have an expiration date? if so, how long should i keep one and where should it be stored?Asked on 4/9/2015 by alaura
2 answers
A:Yes, all LUSH products have expiration dates. I always try to use the
product by its expiration date but it is okay if it goes past by a week or
two. I store my Angels on Bare Skin in the shower where I use it daily to
wash my face.Answered on 4/11/2015 by kc_train from Kansas
A:Angels on Bare Skin has a three month shelf-life from the day it was made. It is best to store it in cool, dry environment where it will not come into contact with water.Answered on 4/10/2015 by Melissa S from LUSH Direct

Q:I have mild eczema on my face. Would this cleanser help with that? or would another be better?Asked on 3/4/2015 by Izzy
2 answers
A:I would recommend you check out our MOVIS soap or Ultrabland. Both are very hydrating cleansers that will leave your skin more nourished than when you started. Angels on Bareskin is very gentle, yet exfoliating, and the more gentle you are with irritated skin the better.Answered on 3/21/2015 by Alexander from LUSH Direct
A:This is one of only two cleanser I've used. Of the two, it's by far my favorite. It's very gentle on your skin while cleansing and exfoliating. The only reason I have a different cleanser now is because Angels on Bare Skin was out of stock when I need to restock! I don't think you'll be disappointed.

Q:Can I use this as a body wash?Asked on 2/19/2015 by Rinka from Wayne, NJ
2 answers
A:You could use it as a body wash if you wish, I would suggest taking a bit of it in your hand and adding water so it doesn't get too crumbly in the shower.Answered on 3/21/2015 by Lana from LUSH Direct
A:No, I do not think Angels on Bare Skin would work as a body wash. It is not
like soap at all, it is dry and crumbly so I don't see how you would be able
to wash your whole body with it. Now if you had a small area that you wanted
to wash separately, I believe it would work.Answered on 2/19/2015 by kc_train from Kansas
Q:is the small size also come within the black pot or like a bar?Asked on 11/22/2014 by Jane from RI

Q:I have pretty dry skin, is this more hydrating/moisturizing than "Let the Good Times Roll"?Asked on 11/11/2014 by Rachel from Minnesota
2 answers
A:Angels on Bare Skin has more moisturizing ingredients than Let the Good Times Roll. Angels on Bare Skin is made with ground almonds which create almond milk when mixed with water and massaged on your hand. The almond milk soothes and moisturizes the skin while the glycerin helps hydrate it.Answered on 11/12/2014 by Rene
A:This face wash is extremely hydrating and moisturizing. I've been using it for over a year and I love it.

Q:About how long does a 3.5 oz pot last with once-daily usage? I received a sample in my recent online order and am dying to buy a whole pot, but I don't know what size would be best since it is a perishable item. For reference: I have been using a pea-sized ball once daily for 4 days now and still have about half of the sample left.Asked on 11/5/2014 by CaitO from Clovis, NM

A:It should be good for at least a month or two if you're only using just a tiny bit.Answered on 11/14/2014 by Anonymous
A:I have ordered a number of times and they usually last about 2 months. I
do have a tendency to use a lot though.Answered on 11/7/2014 by Anonymous

A:Yes, it's great for all dry skin and for all other skin types, it is a gentle scrub that really works well to cleanse the face!Answered on 11/14/2014 by Anonymous
A:Angels on Bare Skin Cleanser is for all skin types so I would say it would
be suitable for dry skin. I have T-zone complexion, my cheeks are dry yet my
forehead, nose and chin are oily. I use Angels on Bare Skin Cleanser and
like it very much. It keeps my cheeks moist and my T-zone dry yet not too
dry. Hope this is helpful and best of luck.Answered on 10/23/2014 by kc_train from Kansas
A:I have dry skin. In fact my face was so dry it used to crack, flake, and peel. I started using Angels on Bare Skin cleanser along with Celestial moisturizer and haven't had any issues of dry skin on my face since. I highly recommend these products.
Sent from my iPhoneAnswered on 10/23/2014 by Anonymous
A:This product is absolutely amazing for dry skin. My face feels so soft and moisturized after using this product, that I've stopped using my face lotion for my dry skin. Also, this product lasts for so long that in the end you save money from not having to constantly buy facial cleansers and lotions. I strongly recommend it!Answered on 10/22/2014 by Anonymous
A:In my experience, this cleanser has been anything but harsh. Rather, it gently exfoliates my face and tenderly strips away the yucky residue that has collected there throughout the day, leaving behind ultra-smooth skin. The results of this cleanser show a marked difference from all other face washes I have ever used, which were cream-based. The cream was not very successful in ridding my face of gunk. But with Angels on Bare Skin, the texture is just grainy enough to pick it up, but not harsh in any way. I believe you need a little bit of exfoliation material in every cleanser for it to be effective. The results of this product are still unbelievable to me.Answered on 10/22/2014 by Anonymous
Q:Over time my cleanser has gotten wet and now has quite a moist texture to it. Should I get a new one and prevent this? Does it make it prone to bacteria and less useful for breakouts?Asked on 6/28/2014 by Savannah from Danville, CA
2 answers
A:It is definitely important to keep the product free of moisture, simply because it does not contain any preservatives to keep it from spoiling. You should be able to see if it has spoiled, but if the texture and scent is still the same there should be no problems with using it in the meantime. Just make sure to prevent it from happening again in the future!Answered on 9/25/2014 by Melissa S from LUSH Direct
A:Ideally the product works best when dry. I still used my first one after it had gotten wet and didn't experience any issues with it. So it's really up to you whether you want to waste the rest of it. Here are a few things I've done with my second container and the product has stayed just as dry as it was when I got it, (and I'm almost out!): never keep the container directly inside the shower, place it ideally outside of the shower and carry it in with you or place it between the shower curtain and liner, grab the amount you need before you get your hands wet, but if they are wet then hold the bottle at and angle and grab whatever is on top to prevent water sinking to the bottom. Hope this helps!Answered on 6/28/2014 by Anonymous

Q:I have oily combination skin...dry in the cheeks, oily everywhere else. In the summer, which is coming up soon, it can get EXTREMELY oily...should I use this cleanser rather than Herbalism or Dark Angels? I have pretty frequent breakouts and occasional redness...so far it has been pretty nice on my skin, as I got a small pot of it, but I'm not sure if a cleanser made for oily skin would be better. I follow up with Breath of Fresh Air (now I'm thinking I should have bought the Tea Tree Toner instead, somehow the salesperson talked me into buying BoFA instead because I said I had combination skin?) and Imperialis moisturizer. I use Grease Lightning on any zits. Anyway, I would like to know how this cleanser works on acne-prone, oily/combination skin.Asked on 2/23/2014 by Bethany :) from Raleigh, NC

If you're face gets oilier in the summer and you're already acne-prone, I might switch to Herbalism more regularly as it works really hard to reduce the amount of oil by regulating oil production. Breath of Fresh Air would still be a good toner choice as Tea Tree Water might be too drying if you have combination skin.Answered on 3/21/2014 by Kendra M from LUSH Direct
A:might i recommend mask of magnanimity, apply twice a week then follow through with angels on bare skin every other day. hope this helpsAnswered on 3/15/2014 by Cupcake from Miami, FL
Q:Does this product help remove acne scars and prevent future breakouts?Asked on 1/16/2014 by Skin-Crazed Sara from Phoenix, AZ
1 answer
A:This cleanser will definitely help prevent future breakouts. The exfoliating properties of it will help a bit with your acne scars, but more effective products will contain fruit juices to brighten the skin and reduce the appearance of your scars.Answered on 3/8/2014 by Kendra M from LUSH Direct

A:Angels on Bare Skin is definitely gentle enough to use both morning and night so please feel free to do so!Answered on 3/14/2014 by Melissa S from LUSH Direct
A:I mainly use Angels on Bare Skin in the morning, but occasionally use it twice a day without any issues. I love this product and see no reason it can't be used twice a day. It does not dry out my skin or make it oily. It is great for me! (I have dry skin and use oil free products)Answered on 1/6/2014 by Anonymous
A:Yes! I use this product as often as I want. It cleans your face without leaving it feeling dry.

Q:Will this cleanser get rid of zits/bumps, or does it only prevent future zits from happening?Asked on 12/8/2013 by Kingsley

A:It does get rid of your blemishes. However, it takes a pretty long time. I think you should use it with eroama water! Your skin will become so soft and clear!Answered on 8/16/2014 by The Little Mermaid from Sunnyvale, CA
A:This facial cleanser is designed to help minimize and heal existing blemishes as well as prevent future ones from forming.Answered on 2/26/2014 by Kendra M from LUSH Direct
A:I would say both. Well for me at least. I love this product so much! It was my first LUSH product. And I have to say it really does help with acne. I started using Herbalism and I though since I love both of these products and they're helping with acne, imagine both of them working together. So I mixed them both together and it really does help. But it also depends on what skin type you have. I have combination to dry skin and after I wash my face with Angels, I feel like I don't need lotion anymore. But I still do, I use Aveeno and this combo is amazing.Answered on 1/19/2014 by BrendaBabyface from Orange County
A:It helps to soothe irritated skin and clear breakouts for me.Answered on 12/8/2013 by Anonymous
Q:Can this help with acne? I know that it takes 3 weeks for skin to adjust to a new product. I have combination skin. My acne isn't so bad. I have small acne on my cheeks and Ive tried a lot of things to get rid of it but it won't leave. Any suggestions? Thanks!Asked on 10/6/2013 by BrendaBabyface

A:I've got to tell you, I've learned the trick with this product is to use it with the tea tree water. Angels on bare skin cleans your skin, then the tea tree water (which is an natural antiseptic) helps to heal the existing cuts or pimples. 2/3 of my face was covered in acne, and the existing pimples have disappeared, the open cuts have healed literally overnight, and I have not had any further pimples pop up. I've been using this product for 3 days!Answered on 1/6/2014 by Sarah the skin nut from Harrisonburg, VA
A:Angels on Bare Skin is a great choice for combination skin because of the ingredients it contains. The kaolin clay base deep cleanses while ground almonds gently exfoliate the dead skin away. Rose and lavender are added to soothe and help balance out combination skin.
Another product I would recommend is Grease Lightning Facial Cleanser. Our super effective spot-cleansing gel is effective for getting your skin back to normal. A gentle infusion of thyme, tea tree and rosemary cleans up problematic dirt and soothing aloe vera gel calms and hydrates irritated skin.Answered on 11/15/2013 by Lydia
A:I have dealt with acne all my life (I'm nearing 30). Angels and Bare Skin and Herbal is the only cleanser that really seems to help. I still have acne, but the difference is dramatically improved. I know it sounds silly, but after I started using this, I did have several friends comment on the improved condition of my complexion. Hope this helps! :)Answered on 10/8/2013 by Anonymous
A:I personally adore Angels on Bare Skin for my "light" acne :). I also use Fresh Farmacy, Vanishing Cream, Tea Tree Water and Mask of Magnaminty in my regular routine: my skin has never felt or looked better!! Good luck!

Q:Is this cleanser supposed to be really "crumbly"? I find it really difficult to get it out of the container and make it into a paste because it just crumbles in my hands. Is this typical, or is it just an off batch?Asked on 7/2/2013 by Anonymous
2 answers
A:Angels on Bare Skin is typically a bit crumbly straight out of the jar, but once you add a bit of water it should become more workable!Answered on 10/4/2013 by Brandy from LUSH
A:Mine is pretty crumbly too, so I don't think it's the batch. What I do is pinch off a little bit of the cleanser and instead of trying to turn it into a paste (this never works for me either, it just gets everywhere) I rub the soap straight onto my wet face. I roll the cleanser into a little ball first so it doesn't get all over my hands, and I find this works really well.Answered on 7/5/2013 by Katie from USA
Q:does this product have to be refrigerated?Asked on 2/1/2013 by Dana from USA
1 answer
A:Angels on Bare Skin does not have to be refrigerated- Just make sure to keep it in a dry, room temperature environment.Answered on 3/8/2013 by Melissa S from LUSH Direct
Q:Would this product help treat blackheads and enlarged pores?Asked on 11/20/2012 by Carrie
1 answer
A:Angels on Bare Skin is a great place to start. The kaolin clay reaches deep into pores to clean out the dirt that causes blackheads, and the ground almonds exfoliate to remove the build up that can also block pores. Following up with our Tea Tree Toner would be a great idea as it specifically targets blackheads, and Grease Lightning and Vanishing Cream contain Witch Hazel, which works to shrink enlarged pores.Answered on 11/22/2012 by Anonymous

At a bid opening exclusively attended by the Daily Times regarding the rehabilitation of the Otway Covered Bridge, two bids were received and each did not meet the expectations of Scioto County Engineer Craig Opperman.
The bids were received and according to Copperman, both bids did not come close to the estimated cost of the project.
Bids were received from RC Construction of Peebles, Ohio for $491,000 and the other from The Righter Company of Columbus for $501,700.
"These are way over, I don't know where they think this is so complex," Opperman said. "We sent this out to six potential bidders."
When asked what this means for the life of the project, Opperman said, "We'll have to reject the bids for one thing."
Opperman would not divulge how much the bids were over project estimates, but would only acknowledge they were, "way over."
"Now we have to figure out where to trim from the project, based upon the numbers that were presented to us," Opperman said. "This is not as good as news as it could have been because now we have to go through the whole process again."
According to released information from The Otway Historical Society, the Otway Covered Bridge has been a historical landmark that has attracted people to our county and to the Otway area for many years. However, the bridge has fallen into a state of serious disrepair. In March of 2012, a portion of the bridge roof was damaged by an F-0 strength tornado that went through Otway and also damaged the fire department. According to Otway Mayor Suzanne Nichols, the damages to the bridge were estimated at $1,800. Nichols said Belfor Restoration, of Columbus, was awarded a contract to replace the damaged part of the covered bridge roof.
Opperman said the bridge currently has a bow in it. He said the bridge needs attention in order to preserve it.
"We are trying to do this as quickly as we can in trying to address this situation," Opperman said.
According to the Scenic Scioto Heritage Trail, the bridge is located southwest of the junction of state routes 73 and 348. The bridge was erected in 1874 and was in use until it was bypassed in 1963. This historic structure is listed on the National Registry and was completely restored by the village of Otway in 1974. What makes the Otway Bridge so unique is that, of the 80 or so covered bridges that were built in the history of Scioto County, it is the lone survivor.
Donations can be sent to Scenic Scioto Heritage Trail, PO Box 536 Portsmouth, Ohio 45662 (Attention Covered Bridge.) For more information contact Norval Davis at 740-372-8320, Mike Seaman at 740-372-8888, or Jake Orlett at 740-259-5747, or visit the groups Facebook pages "Otway Historical Society and Otway Covered Bridge."

I would be really interesting in seeing which fishes you can still collect from the swamps and lake Victoria around
From what I understand of the current Hap. repopulation, the species mix at a particular location may be different from that which was present before the Nile Perch explosion. If that is true, then the same thing would probably happen during each succeeding Hap repopulation.

|Tim Wise to share insights on Racial Inequities in Health Care
Tim Wise, a prominent anti-racist writer and educator, will share his insights on "Racial Inequities in Health Care" with medical professionals and the community as a whole on Friday, April 26 from 2:30-4:30 p.m. in the auditorium of the All Children's Education and Conference Center, located at 701 4th Street S. in St. Petersburg. The program, which corresponds with National Minority Health Month, is free and open to the public. Wise will also be the keynote speaker later that evening at Eckerd College-The Wireman Chapel from 6:30-8:30 p.m. for the 5th annual Stand Against Racism for YWCA Tampa Bay. This event is also free and open to the public.
Several community organizations have come together to sponsor Wise for the entire day including: All Children's Hospital, The St. Petersburg Healthy Start Federal Project, Center for Equal Health, Moffitt Cancer Center, YWCA, Mt. Zion Progressive M.B. Church, Eckerd College, C.O.N.A., ReachUP, Tampa Bay HealthCare Collaborative, Florida Public Services Union, The Deuces Live, Bon Secours St. Petersburg and Dr. Carter G. Woodson African American Museum
An internationally-known expert on racism, Wise lectures throughout the world on issues of comparative racism, race and education, racism and religion, and racism in the labor market. Wise has provided anti-racism training to teachers, and trained physicians and medical industry professionals on how to combat racial inequities in health care. He also has worked with corporate, government, entertainment, military and law enforcement officials on methods for dismantling racism in their institutions, and with journalists to eliminate racial bias in reporting.
Wise is the author of six books, including the highly acclaimed memoir, "White Like Me: Reflections on Race From a Privileged Son" and his latest work, "Dear White America: Letter to a New Minority" which examines white anxiety in an increasingly multicultural nation.

To Each His Own? How Comparisons with Others Influence Consumers' Evaulations of Their Self-Designed Products.
2010, Journal of Consumer Research
Kelly B. Herd, C. Page Moreau
The vast majority of consumer behavior research has examined how consumers respond to products that are offered on a "take it or leave it" basis by the manufacturer. Self-design changes the rules substantially, allowing consumers to have much more control over the product's characteristics. This research examines the factors influencing consumers' evaluations of self-designed products. Three studies demonstrate that a superior fit between consumers' underlying preferences and their customized products cannot fully explain self-design evaluations. Comparisons with designers of comparable products can significantly influence evaluations as well. The first two experiments examine how social comparisons with the designers of similar "off-the-rack" products influence evaluations, identifying two key moderators useful in overcoming the negative effects of an upward comparison. A third study uses a real online design task to gain understanding of how the timing of the social comparison moderates the direction of the comparison (upward vs. equivalent) to influence evaluations.
Moreau, C. Page, and Kelly B. Herd (2010), "To Each His Own? How Comparisons with Others Influence Consumers' Evaluations of Their Self-Designed Products," Journal of Consumer Research, Vol. 36, No. 5, February, pp. 806-819.
