Up, up and playaway!
Library puts audio books in the palm of children's hands
It may look like 11-year-old Kate Wilcox is filling the dishwasher, but she may actually be miles away in a fantasy mountain village, attending a princess academy.
Thanks to technology, she can be lost in the fantasy of a favorite book like "Princess Academy" by Shannon Hale while conveniently loading dirty glasses and dishes into the dishwasher in her very own kitchen.
How is that possible?
Wilcox and her family are just a few of the Wichita Falls Public Library patrons who have discovered its new collection of playaways.
The little devices fit in the palm of your hand and are pre-loaded with one audio book each that can be listened to through ear-bud type earphones. A playaway provides the ease of audio books without the clunky CD player, cassettes or downloads.
"My daughter can listen to a book while she's doing all sorts of things," said Teresa Wilcox.
The Wichita Falls Public Library recently purchased more than 140 titles, mostly chapter books for children and adolescents.
The collection includes the entire "Boxcar Children" set, books like ";Charlie and the Chocolate Factory", "The City of Ember" and the five books in the "Anne of Green Gables" series.
More favorites include"The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe", "Ella Enchanted", and two of the three books in the "Inheritance" Trilogy by Christopher Paolini.
The playaways are great for travel, said Andrew Jelen, collection development manager at the Wichita Falls Public Library. "Since they're completely contained in one device, there are no discs to lose and no cassettes to lose. You can take it with you if you're going to go on a car trip," Jelen said.
Since listeners tune in via ear phones, each child in the car can be listening to his own book. "You don't have to find one thing to listen to in the car," Jelen said.
The initial collection was funded by Lone Star Libraries from the Texas State Library with a grant of $5,695. Another gift of $518 from the Friends of the Wichita Falls Public Libraries helped pay for the playaway batteries, ear-bud headphones and lanyards, which enable children to wear the devices around their necks while they multitask.
"It's just as self-contained as a book, but you can hold it in your hand. Instead of turning the pages and reading, you just plug in the headphones and listen," Jelen said.
Playaways can be checked out from the library for three weeks, just like a book. If there are no holds on that particular title, they can be renewed for another week.
"Since these are pretty popular, a lot of them have holds on them," Jelen said.
Teresa Wilcox heard that the library would be getting the playaways and began reserving some of them before they even arrived.
"We love them," she said. "They've got a great selection. I actually listen to the children's books, too. I like to listen to the books along with my children so we can talk about them."
Even her 7-year-old daughter, Claire, feels comfortable using one, she said. "They're not complicated machinery. It's simplified, just four to five buttons on it. My 7-year-old likes it. When she wears the ear phones, she thinks she looks like all the other kids (with their MP3 players). While they're probably all listening to music, she's listening to 'Stuart Little' "
The playaways also enhance her daughter's reading experience, since she can also have the book in front of her and follow along visually. "It helps with the fluency of reading and also the speed of reading," Wilcox said.
Anything that can interest a child in books and reading is a winner, she believes.
Thanks to the playaways, now all the girls in the Wilcox family, and even Mom, have taken turns with Miri at the "Princess Academy."

HSBC "lift" by Grey London
Agency: Grey London
Rating: 5.0
By Maisie McCabe, mediaweek.co.uk, Thursday, 24 May 2012 02:26PM
The deal, which was negotiated by creative agency Drummond Central and Stuart Feather's new media agency Republic of Media, will include sponsorship of all ITV coverage from the tournament across ITV1 and ITV4.
ITV's coverage starts on Sunday (27 May). Key matches, including the men's and ladies' singles finals, will be broadcast on ITV1 live, while daily extended live coverage of the 15-day tournament will be shown on sister channel ITV4.
It is the first time ITV has broadcast live tennis and its coverage of the tournament will be fronted by John Inverdale, with help from former players Amelie Mauresmo, Mark Petchey, Fabrice Santoro and Sam Smith.
Bet365's idents will be made by Drummond Central.
It is the second time Drummond Central and Republic of Media have negotiated a sponsorship between bet365 and ITV this year. In February, bet365 was unveiled as the sponsor of the soap, 'Emmerdale'.
Jason Spencer, business development director, ITV said: "Having brought on bet365bingo as the sponsor of 'Emmerdale' earlier in the year, we are delighted to be extending our relationship with the group.
"We believe the world-class sporting event is a great brand fit for bet365 and we look forward to another successful partnership."
ITV won the rights to the French Open in October last year. The tournament was previously broadcast by the BBC.

Smith's brush with special police came on March 10, 2006, when, according to his lawsuit — later dropped — an unmarked car came screeching to a halt and a man dressed like a police officer jumped out, running with one hand on his gun and telling Smith to stop.
Smith said he froze and obeyed the man, who got behind him, grabbed his arms, and forced him face-first to the pavement outside his Northeast Baltimore apartment complex.
"It was fast and hard — my face hit the ground quick," he recalled in an interview.
The car's driver then got out and started searching the area with a flashlight as the first man searched Smith's pockets, spreading his possessions out on the pavement, according to the complaint.
The men inside wore blue uniforms, with a shoulder patch that read "Baltimore Special Police." The suit says they carried guns and handcuffs, and told him he was being stopped because he "fit the description." An off-duty city cop, Corey Jennings, who at the time ran a security company according to state business records, showed up at the scene and apologized for their actions, and gave Smith his cellphone number.
The guards then let him go, only to track him down the next day at the liquor store where he worked — an attempt to intimidate him, Smith said. Instead, they arrested him.
Smith's version of the events in the liquor store is supported by surveillance footage from inside the liquor store. Over the course of a few hours, several security guards could be seen talking to Smith and surrounding him.
According to his lawsuit, one of the men identified himself as "Major Donald Ellison," and he was accompanied by a man named Ryzele George, then a commissioned special police officer, who is shown in the video wearing a black shirt labeled "POLICE" and a silver badge around his neck.
Smith said he was taken outside, forced into an unmarked Crown Victoria — the kind of car that real police would use — then placed in a police transport wagon and taken to Central Booking, where officials refused to accept the charges and let him go.
"It gives people a bad impression of the actual police," Smith, 33, a warehouse manager who now lives in Anne Arundel County, said in a recent interview. "I have a cousin going through the police academy, and the training is very extensive. These guys do not have that training."
Smith's suit was dropped in late 2008 after his attorneys dissolved their practice and Smith failed to follow through after electing to represent himself. But he maintains that what happened was wrong.
Two of the guards involved in Smith's arrest were later accused of blurring the boundary between police and security — George was charged with impersonating police after officers saw him working security outside a Northeast Baltimore club with a "POLICE" vest and a loaded handgun, and he had a special police card despite not being a licensed special police officer.
The charges were later dropped by prosecutors. "He was working as a security guard, and the police just decided to arrest him," his attorney, George Oswinkle, said. "He never held himself out to anyone as a police officer, or a special police officer." As for the vest, Oswinkle said George did nothing wrong: "You can buy them in stores. You don't need a special license to own body armor."
In May 2010, a competitor called police to complain that Ellison was wrongly identifying himself as a special police officer while working security at an IHOP restaurant in Baltimore County. He was carrying an unloaded 9 mm Glock handgun, which Ellison described to the arresting officers as a "training weapon."
Oswinkle, also Ellison's attorney, said at the time that his client hadn't done anything wrong. "The law is sometimes not clear," he said. Ellison was found guilty early last year and sentenced to a one-year suspended term.
That same year, police said Ellison's now-defunct security company, Dwell International, issued counterfeit ID cards and police badges — which look remarkably similar to Baltimore police badges — to guards who do not have special police powers. The Police Department in 2010 issued an internal intelligence bulletin warning officers to be on alert for impostors, and sent letters to its commissioned special police officers reminding them of their limitations and responsibilities.
This year, a group of Cherry Hill residents went to a community nonprofit alleging that two special police officers, Robert Osborne and John Spitzer, from the Cleveland-based Tenable Protective Services were harassing them, including conducting surveillance, arresting them for trespassing on public sidewalks, and questioning them at their homes.
"If it's properly done, special police can help the community. The police don't have to write up a citation for just a nuisance crime — the special police can do it," said the Rev. Cleo Walker, a neighborhood leader. "In Cherry Hill, it's become a total abuse of power. They leave their area. They have city walkie talkies and the code to [enter] the [Baltimore Police Southern] district station. Sometimes if there's a call, they beat the police there, or show up with the police."
The officers' apparent omnipresence is in part based on the commission the city gave them. At least in the case of Osborne, the Police Department gave him broad authority over dozens of properties owned by a property management company throughout the community.
When citizens called the Police Department's Internal Affairs unit, they were told the agency didn't have any responsibility over the officers.
State, city program gives security guards police powers
'Special police' accused of overstepping boundaries, praised for extending reach of law enforcement
Cloeda Walker, Assistant Pastor at the Cherry Hill Community Presbyterian Church, feels that she has been targeted for threats because she has complained about the abuse of "Special Police" powers by employees of a security company, in the Cherry Hill neighborhood.

In a recent editorial, the Washington Post urged Maryland Governor Martin O'Malley to commute the sentences of the four men remaining on the state's death row, saying, "To carry out executions post-repeal would be both cruel, because the legislation underpinning the sentence has been scrapped, and unusual, because doing so would be historically unprecedented." Maryland is one of three states that have repealed the death penalty prospectively but still have inmates on death row. The others are Connecticut and New Mexico. O'Malley, who is leaving office in January, was a supporter of repeal. Maryland Attorney Douglas Gansler, who opposed repeal, recently said that carrying out an execution in Maryland is, "illegal and factually impossible." The editorial concluded, "In signing the abolition of capital punishment into law last year, [O'Malley] was unequivocal: 'It's wasteful. It's ineffective. It doesn't work to reduce violent crime.' Having made the moral case for abolition so eloquently, he should have no trouble making the practical case for commutation to life without parole for the four remaining condemned men. And he should act without further delay." Read the editorial below.
Baptist minister and civil rights leader Rev. Al Sharpton spoke in opposition to the death penalty in a recent debate at the Yale Political Union. Sharpton noted the dispropotion of blacks who are to sentenced to death compared to whites. He also raised concerns about the risk of executing the innocent, pointing out that many inmates have been exonerated from death row. He said the lower murder rates in states that do not have the death penalty indicate the death penalty does not deter murder. "We are not preventing anything, and we are not providing justice," he concluded. "We cannot answer murder with murder." Student representatives from a variety of political groups offered arguments both in favor of and opposed to the death penalty.
A newly published study by Professor John Donohue of Stanford Law School found that arbitrary factors, including race and geography, significantly affected death sentencing decisions in Connecticut. While controlling for a variety of factors related to the severity of the crime, the study's abstract indicated that "[M]inority defendants who kill white victims are capitally charged at substantially higher rates than minority defendants who kill minorities, [and] that geography influences both capital charging and sentencing decisions . . . ." For example, the abstract noted, "Considering the most common type of death-eligible murder – a multiple victim homicide – a white on white murder of average egregiousness outside [the city of] Waterbury has a .57 percent chance of being sentenced to death, while a minority committing the identical crime on white victims in Waterbury would face a 91.2 percent likelihood." The second defendant is 160 times more likely to be sentenced to death than the first. The study concluded, "[I]n part because of the strong racial, geographic, and gender influences on capital outcomes in Connecticut, the state's death penalty system has not been successful at limiting the death penalty within the class of death-eligible crimes to the worst of the worst offenders or establishing that there is a principled basis for distinguishing the few death-eligible defendants that will be sentenced to death in Connecticut from the many who will not."
When Connecticut abolished the death penalty in 2012, it did so prospectively, leaving its death row population in place. Now, Connecticut newpaper The Day is calling on the state to "have the courage and consistency to outlaw government sanctioned killing in all instances." The editorial first highlights the paper's longstanding opposition to capital punishment, saying "It remains our position that a state-sponsored execution disproportionately targets minorities, has no deterrent value, cannot be undone if there is a mistake and is a barbaric act that lowers the state to the level of the killer." It then draws on recent events to point out the practical problems with Connecticut's execution method, lethal injection. "The Department of Correction has confirmed it has none of these drugs and no way to obtain them because many domestic and foreign drugmakers, including those in the 28-nation European Union, have objected to using their products in executions." The editorial closes by mentioning the ongoing court case challenging the consitutionality of Connecticut's current death penalty law, saying "The likelihood is that none of the 12 [men on death row] will ever be executed and some court, state or federal, will find, as Michael Courtney, the state's head of the Office of Public Defender, has said, "there is nothing more arbitrary and capricious" than the present situation in which a person committing a capital felony on April 24, 2012, the day before Connecticut abolished capital punishment, can be executed while the person committing the exact same crime the next day cannot." Read the full editorial below.
On April 23, the Connecticut Supreme Court will consider whether the 11 inmates who remained on the state's row after the legislature voted to repeal the death penalty in 2012 can still be executed. Mark Rademacher, an attorney for one of the inmates, argued that the legislature's repeal of the death penalty demonstrated the punishment is no longer necessary and, hence, executing his client would be cruel and unusual punishment. Rademacher also asserted that the law's prospective nature violates the equal protection clause of the Constitution because it singles out a small group of defendants for the death penalty, while dictating a life sentence for defendants in similar situations. Brian Stull, of the American Civil Liberties Union's Capital Punishment Project, noted in his amicus brief that, "No state has executed a prisoner after repealing the death penalty. We just think it's so important for the court to know Connecticut would be the first state to, and that's not a stat any state wants to take." The state has argued it was the clear intent of the legislature to only have the law apply to future cases.
On November 29, the Colosseum in Rome, Italy, was illuminated in honor of Connecticut's repeal of the death penalty in April of this year. The event featured former death row inmate Shujaa Graham of California and George Kain of the Connecticut Network to Abolish the Death Penalty. Five states in the past five years have abolished the death penalty: Connecticut, Illinois, New Mexico, New Jersey, and New York. The program also commemorated the 10th World Day of Cities Against the Death Penalty, sponsored by the Community of Sant'Egidio, a faith-based organization focusing on conflict resolution and interfaith dialoge. See a slide slow of pictures from participating cities at this link.
Although Connecticut abolished the death penalty for future offenses in 2012, eleven inmates remained on death row. Now an unusual trial will soon begin challenging the death sentences of seven of those inmates, not because of the legislature's repeal action, but because of evidence of racial and geographical biases in deciding those sentences. The inmates will principally rely on a study by Stanford University professor John Donohue, who reviewed nearly 4,700 murders in the state from 1973 to 2007. The study found that minority defendants whose victims were white were three times more likely to receive a death sentence than white defendants whose victims were white. Professor Donahue also found disparities along geographic lines. For example, death penalty-eligible defendants in Waterbury, Connectiuct, were sentenced to death at much higher rates than similar defendants elsewhere in the state. The study concluded, "A comprehensive assessment of this process ... reveals a troubling picture. Overall, the state's record of handling death-eligible cases represents a chaotic and unsound criminal justice policy that serves neither deterrence nor retribution."
On May 29, the Connecticut Supreme Court overturned the death sentence of Eduardo Santiago, one of eleven men who remained on the state's death row despite the recent abolition of the death penalty for future crimes. Justice Lubbie Harper, Jr., (pictured) agreed with the majority's reasoning and conclusions about Santiago, but also came to the conclusion that the state's death penalty as applied to those still on death row is unconstitutional. Justice Harper wrote, "It is clear to me both that capital punishment violates our state's constitutional prohibition against cruel and unusual punishment and that this punishment is systematically plagued by an unacceptable risk of arbitrary and racially discriminatory imposition that undermines the fairness and integrity of Connecticut's criminal justice system as a whole." He concluded, "Upon review of both the objective evidence of prevailing norms of human decency, as well as other relevant social and legal factors, I cannot but conclude that capital punishment is incompatible with evolving standards of human decency in our society."

The good news continues to roll in for Boston.

Hey everyone! Long time, no see. I've been super busy planning my summer vacation, and the countdown has officially begun! Only 7 more weekends and Johnny and I will be on our way to see 2 new countries: Malaysia and Singapore. I'm so excited, I can't even deal. Going on vacation gives me something to look forward to, and I've been on cloud nine since the final tickets and hotels were booked. I can't wait! I bought an amazing new bathing suit from a store in Dongdaemun, and I'm already starting to put together travel outfits in my head. Seriously, travel is a life changer. If any of you have any tips/must see/must eat suggestions for either country, please let me know in the comments.
So about 2 months ago, one of my awesome and amazing readers told me about my now holy grail product. I call it my miracle water, made out of angel tears. It's changed my whole life (AND my skin)! Without further ado, let's get into a review of the Missha Time Revolution: The First Treatment Essence.
So, first things first, what exactly is the Missha Time Revolution: The First Treatment Essence? It's an essence, but not in the typical serum-y type essence. It has the consistency of a toner. What makes it different than a "regular" toner is that this essence is meant to be moisturizing, instead of an astrigent. Are you looking for a product that will give you even, glowing, radiant skin? Well, this is the shit for you.
The Missha First Treatment Essence is a dupe for the highly popular and highly expensive SKII Facial Treatment Essence. The SKII version runs about $155US for 5oz. Insanity. I bought both the essence and night serum together in a gift set at my local Missha store for roughly $68US dollars. If I had waited a few days until the Missha day sales (always on the 10th of the month), I would've gotten both for even cheaper. A GREAT deal, in my opinion.
Both the SKII Facial Treatment Essence and the Missha First Treatment essence are made from a type of active fermented yeast. The one used in the SK product, called Pietra, is made from the extracts of the sake fermenting process and is patented. No one knows the exact formula. The Missha product uses a beer fermentation by-product called Fissione, and it's from the same family, although not the exact same as the Pietra formula. It has been said that the Missha product actually contains better ingredients than the SKII formula, and it's also paraben and mineral oil free.
What is this magical fermented yeast product supposed to do? Well, according to Missha, it controls the turnover period of the skin, giving you tighter, firmer, less oily, glowing, and clear skin. And I can tell you that it has definitely done all of those things, plus some.
Now, before you ask, yes…this product is touted as a "whitening" product. Rest assured, I have not started, nor will I EVER lighten or bleach my skin. What I've actually experienced is that my skin has started to GLOW. Like, glow from within. My skin tone is even and my dark spots have faded. I've been using it every day and night for the past 2 months and I assure you I am the same exact color that I was before I started. Allow me to use a quote by Fanny Bourdette-Donon, who works in international PR for Dior Perfumes, to explain exactly what I mean by this whole "glow" thing:
"…I used to be so against whitening products. In Africa, all of these women were killing their skin trying to become whiter, and I hated that. But when I had to work on the press kits at Dior for Diorsnow D-NA Reverse White Reveal Night Concentrate, I had to test it to know what I was going to talk about. I became obsessed. Yes, it's a whitening product but it's not about being whiter or changing the color of your skin; it just brings light to your face. I've never experienced that before in my life. My face literally changed. I had discoloration before, where my cheeks were darker than my forehead, and since I've been using this, everything has evened out. Honestly, all of these little dark spots went away." Fanny Bourdette-Donon, for Into the Gloss
(ps if you aren't reading Into the Gloss, what are you doing with your life?! Best beauty blog EVER)
Back to what I was saying…I, like Fanny (even though she used some crazy expensive Dior stuff), have experienced this whole "bringing light to your face" phenomenon using the Missha First Treatment Essence. I, again, have not, in any way, experienced any lightening of my skin.
So, exactly how are you supposed to use the Missha First Treatment essence? It is advised that you apply the essence IMMEDIATELY after you finish washing your face. And by immediately, I mean like 5 seconds after. There's a Korean theory that states your face is most ready to receive all of the benefits from your essences and serums 5 seconds after you finish washing your face, while your pores are still open. Of course, I never count, but I do try to apply it immediately as possible. They also suggest to use a cotton pad, but I always feel like cotton pads waste too much product, so I pour a bit into the palms of my hands and apply it directly to my face. It absorbs immediately, and doesn't leave the skin sticky or tacky.
I think that this product would be suitable for all skin types. I personally have combination skin that changes from month to month. I'm currently experiencing a dry forehead with an oily nose and chin. It's definitely helped calm down the oily parts, and has helped moisturize the dry areas. I didn't experience any breakouts, and the difference in my skin was noticeable in about a week.

Wow your skin IS glowing- you look fabulous. I will be passing thru the airport this Saturday so have your recommendations at hand- ditto for me return trip thru as well.
As I am living in Dalian, China I plan on a weekend visit to Seoul in the near future rather than an airport run. Thank you for some GREAT product recommendations- can hardly wait to go made with my wallet.
Welcome (in advance) to Singapore! To be honest, it's not mad exciting on our island but the touristy things can be fun if you come with an open mind and low expectations. In terms of shopping, Korea wins hands down so spend more time sightseeing and stuffing yourself with local delicacies!
as usual, your enthusiasm totally piqued my curiosity about the product! since Korean companies give out crazy loads of samples, do you know what might be the difference between The First Treatment Essence and White Cure Super Essential Toner?
Hi Sheryll!
I'm from Singapore and I'm a BIG fan of your blog. Your reviews were all really useful and I enjoy reading them.
It is really hot in Singapore right now. I was in Korea during mid-June and it was cooler there as compared to Singapore. Most of us back here wear shorts and flip-flops and strut around in them. Sunblock is an essential!
In Singapore, you can travel around easily by buses or MRT, both of which are very extensive and accessible, though it gets exxtreemlyyy crowded during peak hours. Cabs on the other hand are expensive.
As for eating, do try to visit the hawker centres here! We do not have any street side stalls like Korea, but we do have many good and cheap eats in hawker centres. Some of the food that I particularly love are: satay, roti prata, rojak, hokkien prawn noodle, BBQ stingray (spicy!), nasi lemak and chicken/char siew rice! I drool just listing them down.
Also, it is the durian season right now and durians are available in both Singapore and Malaysia. I love the smell and taste of it! It is not pungent to me like some described. Do try it if you haven't!
I can't wait for you to see my country! ^^
CONVINCED. I am going out next Wednesday (the 10th! Thanks for that information!) and snatchin up this stuff! I have been using the oil cleansing method exclusively since reading the guest post on your blog and it has done amazing things for my skin. Thanks!!!
wonderful sheryll!
i've so wanted to get this product ever since you mentioned it some time back. unfortunately, i never had the opportunity to pick up my own bottle and alas, i'm back in the US for (most likely) good. great review and your skin looks beautiful
I think I need this product in my life. Thanks Sheryll!! I love your makeup and skincare reviews 😀
You totally look so BADASS on that picture!! And it is amazing how well BADASS goes with "angel tears on your skin". I also love the First Treatment Essence, although I thought the smell was a bit weird at first, but after I was over my initial OMG-Sulwhasoo-swoon and tried the First Treatment again, I did not notice the smell as much. Perhaps I got used to it or imagined it the first time!
I never have time to try any new products, I am totally busy with trying your products lol!!!
Your posts are SO inspirational!!! Thank you!!!
Hi! so nice to hear from you again!
Missha has cheap, good-quality dupes for so many expensive brands.
The Style Beautiful Tint – orange (stupid name) is a dupe for Benefit's chachatint.
The Time Revolution purple ampule is a dupe for the Estee Lauder night repair ampule.
Their eye cream in a golden jar is a dupe for the Sisley eye cream.
Their Body Balm is a dupe for Take a picture-it lasts longer by Benefit.
The Signature Technical-Up mascara is a Lancome mascara dupe.
As a high school student, I love looking for affordable dupes for the highly expensive products that I would probably never buy (seriously, why would you pay $500 for a 30ml jar of moisturizer?) so I've done a LOT of research on these things xDDD
More good dupes would be:
The face shop-oil cut primer balm(?)-dupe for Benefit's Dr.Feelgood.
Tony Moly-party lover gel eyeliner-dupe for Bobbi brown gel liners.
Etude House-Fresh Cherry tint (pink)-dupe for Benefit Posietint
Missha-BB cream Boomer (it's not a bb cream but a glow base)-dupe for Mac Strobe cream
Missha-Glow tint lip balm-dupe for Dior Addict Lip Glow balm
Innisfree-Eco Real color lip gloss (summer sky)-dupe for Benefit California Kissin'
Aritaum-Aritaum Cushion tint (Summer)-dupe for Mac lipstick (Morange)
Nature Republic-Argan Oil hand cream-dupe for L'occitane shea butter hand cream
…I really need another obsession now.
Hello from Malaysia! Which part of Malaysia will you be going?
Ask me anything about my country and I will try my best to answer them!
Hi Sheryll! I can't remember when I started reading your blog, but I really love your writing! So, I nominated you for this award! (The Versatile Blogger Award) You can check it out here: http://beautifuldokidoki.blogspot.com/2013/07/the-versatile-blogger-award.html This essence from Missha looks really intriguing now! I'm not sure if you've heard of Hada Labo products, specifically their Shirojyun line, but they are amazing!
First of all. . .thank you! My skin has been a hot mess since I moved to Korea in February. Especially my face. Le sigh. The good news is that there is a Missha in my neighborhood and I will be mosying on down there on the 10th. A sister needs some glow to her skin. Pronto.
Second, I am going to either Malaysia or Vietnam for winter break so I will be watching for your Malaysia posts. I have heard only good things about Reggae Mansion in Kuala Lampur. First read about it on Megan Starr's blog. Supposed to be a dope hostel. They have a bar and roof parties and also a tour operation so even if you don't stay there might be worth checking out. If you are in Penang – Seven Terraces looks to be a beautiful spot. Maybe a good place for a drink? It's on my list if only to check out the decor. Last but not least CNN's online travel section recently did a write up on Malaysia's Top 40 foods.
Yes! I also love this stuff and really enjoyed your review. I think your "glow from within" perfectly captures what it does. Your skin looks spectacular, by the way!
I just recently started reading your blog and I'm hooked. I hope you have an amazing vacation!
Everytime I read your posts I die wishing to live in Korea as well! hehehehe!
I love Korea skin care products, but they are not very accessible because I live in another country. Thanks god there's ebay in my life.
I would like to know if you know some korean skin product good for healing (or something like that) acne scars! That would be helpful!
Sorry for my english. Portuguese is my mother language
Haii sherryl,
I like to read your post on your blog. Especially this, korean skincare & cosmetics. Have nice summer vocation in that tropic countries 😀
Hi! Greetings from Malaysia! I really wanted to try Korean skincare products since my skin are not reacting to any brands I used to use before i.e. nivea, olay, b.liv, clinique, bla bla…. I tried few of your recommendations and my skin looks better now. Many thanks.
But i really have dry skin… do you have any recommendations for korean moisturizer? I googled but none seems to work on me. My skin are super dry, for your information.
And although you are only coming in 7 weeks counting… hehehe…. welcome to Malaysia! We have quite crazy weather here… its kind of hot and humid. For your info, we just went through a really bad haze (because of land-clearance fires from Indonesia) and although it clears at end of June, I don't know how to say this, but the remnants of haze lingers in few places. So don't forget your moisturiser and scrub and mists or anything to keep your face hydrated. ^^
If you plan to go to Penang, do visit Penang Hill! I love that place because it's quiet and relatively cooler than other places (ha!). Plus, you can see whole Penang on top! Do try David Brown restaurant there but for locals like me, the foods are quite pricey (just to warn you, since you might want to save money to shop!).
Hi Sheryll!
Chanced upon your blog recently because im heading over to Seoul this fall for an exchange semester with Yonsei and i decided it was high time i did some research! Ended up on "korean cosmestics" (shame on me too i know haha) and your reviews are really handy!
Anw i'm from Singapore and i do hope that you'll enjoy your stay here! Don't be afraid to try the local food in the neighbourhoods e.g. the Bedok 85 hawker centre, Chomp Chomp, Lau Pa Sat — you'll get an insanely good meal for cheap.
If you need tips on what to eat, scroll to ladyironchef.com
Hi Sheryll~ Love your skincare recommendations! I bought a set with the Missha essence and night repair. I usually use Etude House Wonder Pore Toner after cleansing, but with these new products I am confused about the order of application! Can you help me out?
After cleansing, do you use a toner THEN the essence, or just skip toner?
Do you use both the essence and the night repair together?
Thanks ^^
Not to mention that the humidity in Singapore is one hell of a capital H. Brave up! You'll enjoy the cleanliness and how structured this place is. Or so I believe
There's nothing much and those attractions are super touristy. The only one I will recommend is "Gardens By the Bay" – go for all but if you want to pick one, go for the cloud observatory. There was a reason I went for that. It was too hot that day. Enjoy the food and the shopping!
Hope you've found a great place to stay. Happy travels
Hi Sheryll,
I recently came across your blog because of a search on Korean skincare. Your one post on your day and night routine is so helpful and funny. I've enjoyed reading your other posts as well. Since I'm a newbie, this is probably a very dumb question, but do you still use a toner along with this essence or is it good as a toner replacement? If you still use both, what order do you apply them?
Hello from korea!
I am korean, and I live in seoul
Your look is so beautiful and cool. eye brow and red lips, all of your style are awesome!
and I like your all review and pic.
I manage facebook beauty page "Hotdeals In Korea" that deliver latest trend in korean beauty & fashion.
I share your work at https://www.facebook.com/hotdeals.korea
Thanks for your great review!!
Hi! I bought the Missha The First Treatment Essence about a month a go, and sadly it hasn't done the miracles I have heard others have had with the product. I have oily skin, and it remains so, and my pores are still large and I still have hyper pigmentation from acne. It hasn't done a significant change to my skin. Do you have any advise? I'm sorry to burden you, it's just that I'm really disappointed, and I don't want to give up hope in this. Thank you.
Hi Sheryll! I'm a huge fan of your blog as well as Korean cosmetics! Love all your reviews! Just gotten my hands on the missha essence…….cannot wait to try it!
I'm from Singapore by the way..let me know if you need any travel tips in Singapore…will be more than happy to help!
nice and honest review
Omg….I just came back from Missha store and search for some review on their product and found this blog! Your review is really tempting….feels like wanna go back to the store and buy this on! lol
Hey! I know this review's almost a year old, but I have a question for you! Do you still use this, and if you do, do you use it in conjunction with the OST Original Pure Vitamin C20 Serum? I've been loving the serum (got it in large part due to your review of it) and I just got a crap ton of samples of this Missha toner…but I've heard that niacinimide and Vitamin C are a bad mix. So I'm wondering if you've ever used them together and if so, what your experience has been.
Fantastic blog, one of my favorites, and I so wish I had your life!
Dear Sheryll,
You totally convinced me to try this essence!
But I am quite hesitating: the one at the Missha shop is 42'000 won
while the one on Gmarket is only 24'000 won…
What do you think about that? Would you trust Gmarket to sell the exact same
Thanks a lot!
Hi S!
Thanks so much for such detailed info:)
I'm new to this so many steps skin care routine haha and I just for the first treatment essence. I would like to know after applying the essence, should I then use a toner or skip straight to the ampoule? The sales lady told me to use a toner after the essence. But I feel like it would destroy the benefits of the essence, no?
Hey Sheryll,
I'm so excited i've found your positive review on these two products, because they caught my eye when i was browsing my favorite korean online store. But before jumping into it and getting the full size bottles, i've decided to go with a dozen of samples, so i can test & see it it suits my skin. But according to many great reviews i've seen all over the internet, i think this might have been a great pick.
Do you still use the Time Revolution line?
I've been to korea last week and i'm glad i bought Time Revolution,thanks to you i know now how to use it..enjoy your trip to Singapore and Malaysia…love the food of both Countries! Especially the spicy sting ray in singapore yummy!

Hotchkis Camaro Chassis Max Brace
Like most modern muscle cars, the new 2010 Camaro suffers from significant chassis flex and wheel hop. Under hard acceleration, the stock rear subframe moves quite a bit, reducing traction and stability. Installing a Hotchkis Sport Suspension Chassis Max Brace reduces chassis flex and improves traction during hard launches and high-speed cornering by triangulating the rear sub frame to the chassis frame rails.
Manufactured from strong, lightweight elliptical aluminum tubing and mated to laser cut, CNC machined aluminum brackets, the system bolts on in minutes. The Chassis Max Brace has excellent ground clearance and fits with most aftermarket exhaust systems. Finished in durable anthracite powdercoated, the Chassis Max is a must have for any modern Camaro.

Basketball Odds: Golden State Warriors @ Portland Trail Blazers Pick 4/11/12
- Updated: April 11, 2012
Both the Portland Trail Blazers and the Golden State Warriors are building for next season, but on Wednesday night, they meet in NBA betting action at the Rose Garden.
The BTB Expert Handicappers have NBA picks for all of the big games on the docket. Click Here to cash in with your guaranteed basketball picks today!
Matters have been rough this year for the Warriors. They dealt away their sparkplug, Monta Ellis, haven't gotten a single minute yet out of the man that they got back in that deal, Andrew Bogut, and they have had just 26 games of decent health for Stephen Curry. In fact, health in general has been a big, big problem for this team. Only Klay Thompson and Brandon Rush have played in all 56 games that the team has played to date, and just David Lee, Dorell Wright, and Dominic McGuire can boast that they have played in more than 47 games for them this year. Head Coach Mark Jackson is really tinkering around with his lineup at the end of the year to see what he has for next season, and it is really showing. Most of the combinations of players have failed, though what we have seen is a more competitive, defensive-minded team. The 123-84 loss at the Denver Nuggets on Monday night was the first time in the last six games in which the Warriors didn't cover a point spread, though there are just two SU victories in that stretch.
There are still some very dim playoff hopes for the Blazers still alive, but it is going to take them catching some serious, serious fire to get the job done. They have had their share of problems this year, too. Greg Oden and Brandon Roy both were basically forced into retirement with their respective injuries, and Gerald Wallace, one of the fan favorites at the Rose Garden, was dealt away for JJ Hickson and some others. Wesley Matthews is the only man that has played in every Portland game this year. The team's top two scorers, LaMarcus Aldridge and Nicolas Batum are both injured right now, and both are listed as questionable for Wednesday night's soiree. If by chance these two don't play, though, it is Hickson at just 13.3 points per game that will lead the team in scoring, and that can't promote a heck of a lot of confidence in a side that is still at least within potential striking distance of the second season.
The Final Word: At least the Warriors are playing with some heart right now. Jackson isn't going to accept losses like the one that his team had to Denver a few nights ago, and though they are back on the road once again in a relatively tough venue to play games, we think that Portland is just beat up too much both physically and mentally to win a game like this one all that often.
Golden State Warriors @ Portland Trail Blazers Pick: Golden State Warriors +6

Your plugin makes bbPress complete and actually usable as a community forum. Thanks a lot!
This is just what bbPress needs, brilliant!
This seems to work great. Nice and simple and adds some much needed functionality to bbPress.

|8 Pound, cut into 4 pieces wings, neck and carcass bones reserved
|1 , thickly sliced (White And Tender Green Parts Only)
|1 Medium, quartered
|1 , thickly sliced
|Celery rib
|1 , thickly sliced
|Parsley sprigs
|4 Large
|Thyme sprigs
|Bay leaf
|Kosher salt
|To Taste
|1 Gallon

|Freshly ground pepper
|To Taste

1. Put the capon wings, neck and carcass bones in a large pot. Add the leek, onion, carrot, celery, parsley, thyme, bay leaf and 1 tablespoon of salt. Add the water and bring to a boil. Cover and simmer over low heat for 15 minutes.
2. Carefully add the capon legs followed by the breast pieces to the hot liquid in the pot and bring to a simmer. Reduce the heat to low and simmer until the capon breast pieces are just cooked through, about 20 minutes; transfer the breast pieces to a large rimmed baking sheet with tongs, being careful not to break the skin. Continue poaching the capon legs until cooked through, about 35 minutes longer; transfer to the baking sheet. Let the capon pieces cool to room temperature, then rub them all over with vegetable oil. Strain and reserve the poaching broth (use in the Grilled Cauliflower Salad with Raisin-Almond Dressing).
3. Light a grill. Season the capon pieces with salt and pepper and grill skin side down over moderately high heat for about 5 minutes, or until the skin is crisp and lightly charred. Turn the capon pieces and grill for 5 minutes longer, or until they'rebrowned and heated through; let coo slightly. Thickly slice the breast and thigh meat. Arrange the capon on a platter and serve with the Salsa Verde.

Spotlight On Mardi Gras: The Krewe Of Aesclepius [AUDIO]
Traditionally known as the 'medical' krewe of the Ark-La-Tex, the Krewe of Aesclepius has members from every area of industry.
Traditionally known as the 'medical' krewe of the Ark-La-Tex, the Krewe of Aesclepius has members from every area of industry.
Today I had the distinct pleasure of speaking with Jim McMichael, Captain of the Krewe of Justinian XX. One thing is for sure, for a group of lawyers, they sure do know how to get into the Mardi Gras spirit!
The Krewe of Atlas is known for throwing a great party and they sure did live up to their reputation Saturday night at Sam's Town Casino for their Grand Bal IV Louisiana Legacy North!
As past royalty for the Krewe of Atlas (Duchess of Lagniappe IV), I feel uniquely qualified to shed some light on this truly unique and special krewe.
The Krewe of Sobek is celebrating Mardi Gras this weekend with their Grand Bal Friday night and their parade this Saturday!
Last year, the Krewe of Harambee was the winner of our best Mardi Gras krewe in the SBC. Who will be this year's winner? You decide! Let the voting begin!
The Krewe of Elders may be for people over the age of 40, but don't let the word 'elders' fool you. The Krewe of Elders is a vibrant part of Mardi Gras in the Ark-La-Tex.
Kick of Mardi Gras in style this Saturday night at 12th Night starting at 6:30pm at the Bossier Civic Center!

Everyone has been putting out some fantastic and stunning work lately.
Shyama, the hunter sig you made for Rehija is probably one of the best hunter sigs I've seen on this thread (and I've been lurking for awhile.)
Elyaan, those two pug wallpapers are so adorable!
Geeki (who actually inspired me to start making sigs!) your new sig is gorgeous, as well as the recent wallpapers you've made!
Aveline, that monk sig is awesome!
Someday maybe I'll post some of my sigs but for now, I don't really have enough confidence, too many amazingly talented people in this thread; but everyone keep up the fantastic work, you're all inspirations to me!

The Women's National Invitational Tournament doesn't seed its teams when placed in the bracket.
If it did, Mississippi State women's basketball coach Vic Schaefer believes Southern Mississippi would have been one of the higher seeds of the event.
With a 27-6 overall record, the Golden Eagles have one of the better marks in the field and that has gotten Schaefer's attention.
"Quite frankly, they deserve to be in the Big Dance," Schaefer said. "They are probably the 65th team in the NCAA Tournament. They probably deserve an at-large. They've played well all year. They play a good schedule and (USM coach) Joy-Lee (McNelis) does a good job. They've got a bunch of good players."
The Bulldogs will see those players once again this season when MSU and Southern Miss meet in the second round of the WNIT tonight. The outing between in-state opponents tips at 7 p.m. inside Humphrey Coliseum.
One of the six losses handed to the Golden Eagles were by the Bulldogs last Dec. 14.

It all depends on how far along ATi are with mastering the .13u process, full credit to their hardware people for the R300 design. I don't believe that they will get much more out of the .15u process and they may run, or have run, into as many problems as nVidia, AMD, and Intel did with their swap overs.
My opinion is that the TSMC and other delays have meant that nVidia have had no option but to take their time. They didn't really have much choice. And now they are still not in full control of what happens. But in the end they will have the design and knowledge of the proccesses involved with this new technology to jump ahead of ATi.
I also can't see ATi releasing a better R300 after only 2.5 months of the R300's lifespan have passed. It would almost be admitting that it wasn't as good as it could have been and that they rushed it out to get the jump on nVidia.
