"Such beauty"
"Such grace"
"Such wonder"
"Such waste"
That is what they said to me
As she climbed the forbidden tree
Some said she'd make it
Some said she'd fall
Some tongues stood still
As she climbed through it all
When she reached the top at last
She found the magic had just past
She climbed down
Without a fight
As people left
Saying they were right
As the leaves began to stir
I stayed there, waiting for her
As people fled
Leaving just us
She came to me
Saying, "It's not lust."
To prove her love, she climbed the tree
So now I know that she loves me

Product Features: All of Your Brush Head Questions, Answered
We often receive inquiries from Clarisonic users regarding the different brush head options for the Clarisonic Sonic Cleansing System. With all the fabulous options to choose from it can be tricky deciding which one is right for you! Here are some common questions and answers to give you better insight on choosing a brush head.
What brush head came with my Clarisonic?
- Clarisonic Mia Sonic Cleansing System: Sensitive Brush Head.
o Limited Edition Hope Mia comes with a Sensitive Pink Brush Head.
- Clarisonic Classic Sonic Cleansing System: Sensitive Brush Head.
o The Graphite Gray model comes with a Normal Brush Head.
- Clarisonic PLUS Sonic Cleansing System: Sensitive Brush Head.
- Clarisonic PRO Sonic Cleansing System: Sensitive Brush Head.
o The Graphite Gray model comes with a Normal Brush Head.
What are the different types of brush heads?
The available brush heads are: Delicate, Sensitive, and Normal. These are compatible on all of our units. The Body Brush is available for the PLUS and PRO models only.
Why is the sensitive brush head standard?
We have found this to be our most popular brush head. Therefore, this brush head is included with every new Clarisonic.
Which brush head is best for my skin?
Everyone's skin is different and we suggest you listen to your skin when selecting a brush head. If you want a deeper cleanse, the normal brush head is slightly stiffer. If you are experiencing dry patches or irritation, you might want to try the sensitive or delicate brush head. The delicate brush head is also designed for extra sensitive skin or for those suffering from complicated skin conditions.
Can I use the body brush on the Clarisonic Mia Sonic Cleansing System?
No. The Body Brush is only compatible with the PLUS and PRO models.
Does each model require a different type of brush head?
No. All facial brush heads work on any model (The Body Brush is only compatible with the PLUS and PRO models).
Does the brush head spin?
No. The brush head oscillates (back and forth motion) to provide a more gentle cleansing experience.
Can I share a brush head with another person?
We strongly recommend using separate brush heads because your skins differ in condition and we want you to achieve optimal results.
Do I need to clean my brush head?
Yes. While you may believe you are cleaning your brush head every time you cleanse, we suggest cleaning the brush head once a week using an antibacterial cleanser. For a more detailed tutorial on brush head cleaning, please read our previous Sonic Chatter Post: How Do I Clean My Brush Head?
Hopefully we answered some of the common brush head questions. If not, please feel free to ask us in the comments!
Last Minute Gift Guide with Amber Katz
December brings festive warm spiked drinks (pass the 'nog!), family gatherings, your reacquaintance with goose down and of course, the annual mad rush to buy gifts for everyone on your ever-growing list. And is there any better gift than those of the beauty variety? I love them because few recipients would shun a grooming gift. Plus? They manage to seem incredibly personal, though they work for even your most vague associate. Here, my best beauty present recommendations:
The Clarisonic Mia
($149 at clarisonic.com)
These adorable multi-colored skin care saviors are perfectly portable and provide a great introduction to the wonder that is the Clarisonic experience. I like to think of it as The Gateway Clarisonic. I don't leave town without mine. I simply tote it along with a decanted version of my face wash and scrub. One of these will set you back $149, compared to the Clarisonic Classic's more robust $195 price tag.
Patyka Refreshing Spearmint Body Wash
($45 at newlondonpharmacy.com)
I love mint in all its various forms. I recently fell so deeply in love with a pack of Carefree Extra gum (Dessert Delights, Mint Chocolate Chip flavor) that I am going to dedicate a full blog post to it. But I find that in the beauty space, spearmint gets precious little press and I'm here to remedy that situation right now. Patyka's newly revamped scented shower gel evokes the crisp vibe of a fresh sprig of mint but manages to impart just a subtle fragrance post-shower.
Josie Maran Love Nest Josie's Argan Favorites
($25, exclusive to Sephora)
This is the best deal in the GALaxy. I adore Josie Maran's natural makeup items and this limited-edition set includes everything you need to look flawlessly beautiful. The set contains an Argan Color Stick in Petal Pink (the perfect shade—it flatters my skin tone utterly), Gogo Instant Natural Volume Argan Mascara (won't dry out brittle lashes), Argan Illuminizer (a makeup bag MVP—it highlights and can be used instead of shadow in a pinch) and 100% Argan Oil (use it to hydrate your face, your split ends, your cuticles—everything!). If a better deal exists, I sure as heckfire don't know about it.

ELKHART (AP) — A gunman walked into a northern Indiana grocery store and fatally shot two people Wednesday night.
He was then killed by police, authorities said.
Elkhart police received a call about a shooter at Martin's Super Market about 10 p.m. Wednesday, Indiana State Police Sgt. Trent Smith said at a news conference early Thursday.
The gunman used a semi-automatic handgun to shoot and kill a woman, then walked to another aisle and shot and killed another woman, Smith said.
One victim was an employee and appeared to be in her late teens or early 20s.
A second victim was a shopper who appeared to be in her 40s, he said.
The victims were found about 12 aisles apart.

'Playscapes' to pop up at Portland's Kennedy Park, Eastern Promenade
PORTLAND — Kids this summer will have the opportunity to build spaceships, race cars, fortresses and anything else they can dream up, all for free.
The only catch is that they'll have make it all from scrap.
The Children's Museum & Theatre of Maine will host two park takeovers, where kids will be encouraged to design, build and play in their own "ultimate fort-meets-sculpture-meets-homemade-playground," all made from recycled materials.
"The drive of it is to really utilize some of Portland's public spaces and to take advantage of many of the recyclable materials hanging around town," said Louisa Donelson, who conceived the project. "It's to combine those two simple things together to make something extravagant."
The museum and theater will provide all the materials: cardboard boxes, fabric, old books, tubes, rocks, newspapers and a range of other items that might be considered scrap. The events, known as "Pop-up Playscapes," are designed not only to be fun, but to foster creativity and learning, said Donelson, an educator.
The type of playing kids will do at this event is called "open-ended play," which means that it doesn't have a pre-determined end, she said, something that has become less and less available with the proliferation of technology and the marketing of toys to kids.
"Kids will get loose parts and stones and newspaper and books, and when they're given these different materials, they'll find different ways to use them," Donelson said. "Kids can use the material any way they like. It's the kids who will be making the rules and deciding how they want it to go."
Open-ended playing encourages creativity and imagination and helps kids develop skills to find their own outcomes, she said.
And while the idea for kids to play with used boxes and material otherwise thrown away is nothing new, Donelson said the events are influenced by other pop-up artists and festivals which have promoted temporary, interactive art.
Once such project was an elaborate cardboard box arcade made in 2012 by a 9-year-old boy at his father's auto parts shop in East Los Angeles, called Caine's Arcade.
These will be the first organized events of their kind in Portland, according to Donelson.
"It's really Portland's style to take advantage of outdoor space for art and take up something temporary," she said.
At the end of the day, the structures will be disassembled and the materials will be recycled. Kids will be encouraged to take home a bag of recycled materials to continue building and creating at home.
Staff from both the theater and the museum will be on hand, along with local artists, to help encourage, offer technical support and bring the kids' ideas to fruition.
The two events, which will run from noon-6 p.m., will be held Monday, July 22, at Kennedy Park and Saturday, Aug. 31, at the Eastern Promenade.
Portland's Pop-up Playscapes are funded by a $4,500 grant from the Cumberland County Community Building Fund of the Maine Community Foundation. In addition, Ruth's Reusable Resources will provide some of the building materials and Ecomaine will provide environmental education and recycling after the event.

WRONG! You were way off, you prejudiced prejudicer. Why don't you go drink some Jamba Prejuicedice?

Re: New to Star Trek
But if you like Babel, then you might as well see em all. Rest assured that there's little in the first season that you need to watch simply for the sake of the storyline. The good episodes I mentioned are also the storyline-important episodes. The show doesn't get into serialization bigtime till later seasons.
The only reason to watch TNG first is so you can appreciate how much better DS9 is than it. Seriously, I've tried watching TNG - erg. Has NOT aged well. Even the non-sucky seasons are kind of painful.

Re: New to Star Trek
Neither show is very arc-based. There are some ongoing storylines in TNG, but you can tune into any episode from any season and be just fine. You don't need to know any character backstories to get it or anything. TNG is basically the template of all the shows that followed, so it'll give you a good sense of what Trek is like.
Then you can check out some TOS episodes. Obviously, since it's the first, TNG takes its cues from here. But since it's much older, it's also more dated, so if you see TNG first it might be easier to swallow. And you can see how the story telling evolved between the two. Also, every episode is completely standalone, much moreso than TNG, so you can sample from any point in the series and be just fine.
Get a sense of what those two shows are like. These are basically the purest forms of Trek; they're both a ship called Enterprise exploring the universe. The subsequent series had to find different twists to distinguish themselves.
When you watch DS9, try to watch it in order, since for the most part, it tries to tell an ongoing story.
With Voyager, watch the pilot to get a sense of what the show was supposed to be about. After that, don't worry about continuity; it's inconsistent. There's less of an overall story, so you can basically pick up any episode, like TOS and TNG.
ENT is kind of similar to VOY--at least for the first two seasons, you can just watch any episode. The third season is intended to be a full arc though, and I'm not as familiar with the fourth season, except that it's the one that tries really hard to do its job as a prequel, so it's probably better to see it after you're familiar with all the other shows.
Also, make sure you watch all the movies, especially the TOS ones.

Just in case you're wondering what my final choice is - I ended up purchasing TNG season 1 from Amazon, so it should come soon! It was a tough tie between The Next Generation and TOS, but after watching First Contact, and Patrick Stewart being one of my favorite actors, it only seemed natural. I'm aware the first season isn't the strongest, but I'm prepared!
I'd also like to check out DS9 sometime too.

(But yeah, TNG 3-4 cliffhanger, Best of Both Worlds, kinda pointless seeing as you've seen FC, but its still a fantastic episode thats just drenched in excellence :P)

And Try very hard to watch TNG from start to finish aswell, while there might not be such a big story arc, the friendships developed etc are clearly being developed.

This year to save me from tears I'll give it to someone special

Re: New to Star Trek
As a child of the eighties, I'd suggest you start with the ol' Genesis trilogy:
ST 2: The Wrath of Kahn
ST 3: Search for Spock
ST 4: The Voyage Home
Those three movies can be watched with no Star Trek frame of reference, and if you don't like them, then you probably don't like Star Trek.

Re: New to Star Trek
(sorry, GQ fans, it's a great movie)
my point? after that, you'll breeze through the snorefests that were the first two seasons of both TNG and DS9.
(that said, my absolute favorite Trek episode is actually from DS9's first season: Duet).

Botting Royale! RiD vs. RSbot vs. NeXus!
As of November 29th, 2010, the underground act of Runescape botting is dominated by three major bot suppliers. These are RSbot, the largest, and free, NeXus, otherwise known as Rsbots and Autofighter, and Robotz in Disguise. From my point of view, I will rate all of these, and in the end, pick my overall favorite. Make sure to leave your opinions below!
The image above explains it all. In April, 2010 (I believe..) Jagex took control of **********, because when searching "RS" on google, it came up on the first page. RSbot has since been moved to Powerbot, and all of its factors remain the same. Let's get started on this.
RSbot, I believe, is the larges Runescape botting community, with over 2,000 page views per day, if not more. It should be noted immediately, that Powerbot (RSbot) is free, unlike our two competitors (For the most part..) RSbot is powered by user-created scripts, and few admin scripts. There is one problem with this though. One person that made a.. Let's say, Green dragon Killer. This person went to college and got a 4 year degree in Programming and computer science. Most likely, it will be an okay script. However, you can get a freshman in Highschool, who created the most basic script, to kill anything green, and eat under 30% of HP. I don't know if this is correct, and if it is not, I'll edit it. But I believe that most scripts on Powerbot can not counter Randoms.
Going back to a previous statement, Powerbot is free. What does this mean? A huuuuuge amount of level 3's walking around with Woodcutting capes, Mining capes, etc. These scripts aren't Necessarily bad, but it over-publicizes the bot, causing Macro Detection systems to be improved. If you don't believe me, look at the image above. Jagex has taken control of that Domain name, simply because of the amount of bots in the game (and Copyright Infringement of course...)
This Concludes Powerbot.
The NeXus bot, otherwise known as iBot or Autofighter, is another prime example of a popular and widely used bot. Before I go into detail, let me explain one fatal flaw. This bot uses a client to play Runescape, Train Skills, Click, etc. This infringes Jagex's Rights. The creator of this bot (Mark Snellman, Snellman Brothers) is already being sent to court because of this website. You can read the case sum here:
Anyway, about the bot itself...
Users go to Autofighter and select a bot, ranging from 5$ to 25$, for unlimited use. Each Purchase comes with an Auth (Authorization) Code, that you enter into the client. If your Auth Code is found using two IP addresses at once, your Auth code gets disabled, and so does your bot. I have... Experience with the NeXus. It got my main banned long ago. It was sad, really. Does that stop me from botting? NO.
I will say one thing though. Out of all of the bots, I think the NeXus handles Random events the best. I've never once failed/got stuck in a random, like I have with Powerbot and RiD. The NX (NeXus) can be minimized easily, because the client does all the work for you. NX, however, has a robotic-like cursor path, and while it does not click on the same pixel, it has a pixel radius.
This concludes NX.
Robotz in Disguise
If you're anything like me, when you first heard the name of this, you thought "LIKE TRANSFORMERS???"
All Joking aside, this is my favorite. Why? There is no need to ask why if you have used it. When I first watched the trailer for MTA4, I thought it was a person moving the mouse. It fooled a HUMAN. What does Jagex look for aside from long constant hours? Simple. Robotic Mouse paths, and the same pixels clicked. RiD Kills both of these issues. Plus, It has an auto talker! Holy Crap! It has really reached a point where you can not distinguish between a human, and a bot.
__________________________________________________ ______________________
This concludes my comparison of the three mainstream bots. Make sure to leave your opinions below!

WASHINGTON, Oct. 14, 2004 Looking to buy a prepaid phone card for a servicemember deployed to Southwest Asia, but confused about which one to buy?
Take comfort in knowing you're not alone. With so many competing companies offering different calling cards, picking the best one can be a tough call.
Just about any calling card will work for servicemembers calling the United States from Southwest Asia, Judd Anstey, public affairs specialist for the Army and Air Force Exchange Service, told American Forces Press Service.
The big question, he said, boils down to which card offers the lowest per- minute talking charges.
Thanks to an exclusive contract with AT&T, DoD military exchanges offer a card that provides the lowest per-minute fees for calls placed from AT&T phone centers in Southwest Asia, Anstey said.
The Military Exchange Prepaid Global 550-unit phone card offers lower per- minute rates than other prepaid cards, including AT&T prepaid cards sold by other retailers, Anstey said. "It's the best value out there," he said.
If the card is purchased in the United States, the per-minute fees are 28 cents a minute from Iraq or Afghanistan and 21 cents a minute from Kuwait. If the deployed servicemember buys the card in Southwest Asia, the rates are even lower, Anstey said, 25 cents a minute from Iraq and Afghanistan and 19 cents a minute from Kuwait.
This compares to as much as 40 cents per minute charged by some phone-card companies after converting calling units to actual calling minutes, Anstey said.
Anstey said the cards offer additional features: there's no connection fee for calls placed, cards never expire, and the purchaser has the option of "recharging them" so the recipient doesn't run out of calling minutes.
With the winter holidays just over the horizon, Anstey said interest in buying Military Exchange Prepaid Global 550-unit phone cards is picking up.
Anyone can buy them -- not just those who qualify to shop in military exchanges, he said. This makes them favorites for groups as well as individuals who wish to buy them for troops serving in Operations Enduring Freedom and Iraqi Freedom.
"Anybody can buy them to donate to a specific servicemember or to any servicemember," Anstey said. "They make great gifts."
The cards are available for sale through all military exchanges: the Army and Air Force Exchange Service, the Navy Exchange, and the Marine Corps Exchange.
For more details about the cards or to buy them, visit the AAFES, NEX or Marine Corps Exchange Web sites or call (800) 527-2345.

Ipanema is my favorite restaurant in NYC. My girlfriend is Portuguese and whenever we are in NY we stop here and the host and waitstaff remember us and really make us enjoy our experience. The food has always been excellent and the service is very timely. Definitely a place worth trying out if you enjoy Portuguese food.

As we walked down little Brazil towards Ipanema, we noticed some of the other Brazilian restaurants were pretty crowded where as Ipanema was not. The service was decent although the waiter seemed very displeased when asked for things, like water. Of the several dishes we ordered, half were good, the others were so-so. The flan for dessert was not up to my standards, and I am making a comparison to the many places I have had flan. The caiparhinas were made well. All in all, we would not go back to this place, but would be certainly willing to try another place such as the other Brazilian places on the same street.

I have been here a few times and being a Brazilian I have to say that this place is great! The food left us longing for more and longing to go back to Brazil. (Just thinking about it is making me hungry) Be prepared for slower service if you go for a business lunch...but then again, what restaurant is quick during a busy lunch hour?
Posted by Betsy on 01/31/2006
We took a party of 7 here on a Sunday night. No wait and seated right away. The staff was attentive and quick. We had a mixture of dishes and most were great! The only thing was on the Churrascaro Mixto (Mixed Grill)- the pork was too done and dry and the chicken was just a bit better. But the ones that ordered it raved about the sausage and the beef. Also tried the marinated pork chops (no complaints), the Feijorda (good) and the Cod (not that person's favorite). I would not leave without an order of the fried bananas. We'd come back again as it was quiet, inexpensive and food good.

This is a simply fantastic place! It's a great place for a buinsess lunch and works wonderful for groups. The food is excellent, service wonderful and I give it two thumbs up. The only catch is the coat check. I gave a large tip for lunch but didn't have any singles on me and the coat check isn't free, it costs $1., just make sure you have singles for the coat check 'cause the coat check girl doesn't....

Excellent food and service. Very authentic and peaceful. I would recommend highly.
Posted by DBear on 09/19/2005
Six of us went to dinner on an early Friday night. We made a reservation and were seated promptly. The waiter took our order and served us drinks. We waited close to an hour for our appetizers which never came. Our waiter then told us there was a mistake in the kitchen and gave us the choice to have our appetizers with our entree, which we declined. Half of us ordered the Lobster stuffed with crabmeat, which was good but was covered with a thick layer of cheese, not mentioned on the menu description. The desserts were lacking in choice and substance. Overall, the food was decent but I would recommend going elsewhere.

Uncommon Genius: How Great Ideas are Born

Product Description
Drawing on interviews with 40 winners of the MacArthur Foundation Fellowship—the so-called "genius awards"—the insightful study throws fresh light on the creative process.
Amazon.com Review
At the age of 38, John D. MacArthur, a destitute high-school dropout, borrowed $2,500 to buy the Bankers Life & Casualty Company of Chicago; eight years later he'd made a million dollars. At the time of his death in 1978 he was the second-richest man in America and "notoriously tightfisted." But he left most of his two-and-a-half-billion-dollar estate in the form of the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation, with only these instructions to his board of trustees: "I figured out how to make the money, you boys figure out how to spend it." Thus the MacArthur Prize, also known as the "genius grant," was born. The award cannot be applied for, and it is not limited to any particular field of interest. Its purpose "is to promote those leaps of creative thinking that may occur when gifted people are left to their own devices." For Uncommon Genius, Shekerjian interviewed forty MacArthur Prize winners--John Sayles, Peter Sellars, Ellen Stewart, and Derek Walcott among them--in an attempt to discover "how great ideas are born." While much of what she learns about the creative impulse is not exactly groundbreaking--it involves risk-taking, openness, concentration, resiliency, and a great love of the work--spending time with the creators she has chosen to include is fascinating. They bring these broad concepts to life by inviting us into their studios, offices, labs, even dorm rooms (the youngest interviewee, Mayan epigraphist David Stuart, was a Princeton student at the time) and discussing their own creative processes. There is much to be gleaned here, not only about how creativity applies itself to various fields (community action, political science, writing, art history, woodworking, and even being a clown), but about how to nurture your own "creative genius." --Jane Steinberg

Rawr. St. Tropez, the latest release from pop-folk titan Azis is a sort of fashion film, featuring new looks, his new body, and a greased up mediterranean tan. Azis claims he wrote the lyrics to St. Tropez in an hour after visiting the French beach resort town and being impressed with the lifestyle of the rich tourists who vacation there. Along side his Rihanna inspired red afro look, Azis wears a leather jacket worn by Britney Spears, and Swarovski crystal encrusted headphones.
"My idea came from the way some Western media described me – as a black belle. Obviously they think I am a black woman! I have no intention to stop tanning, I'd like to have a chocolate complexion all the time." (Via MusicoftheBalkans)
Saint Tropez also features 18 year old Yordan Iliev, who became a viral sensation for his Bulgaria's Got Talent dance audition where he showed off his hyperactive hip gyrating abilities.

Logical Dilemmas: The Life and Work of Kurt Gödel, published originally in 1997,was the first full-scale biography of its subject. It has now been reissued in paperback, and that is very good news for mathematical readers. This is a masterful biography that grapples with the life and ideas of a brilliant and complex man, both a true genius and a psychologically damaged recluse. As far as I know, this remains the only full-scale biography of Gödel. Other discussions in print of his life are incomplete and fragmentary. The recent book Incompleteness by Rebecca Goldstein touches somewhat on Gödel's life and his mathematics, but does not pretend to be anything more than a sketch of his ideas and a snapshot of his life.
The author bases his account of Kurt Gödel's life on primary documentation rather than interviews since Gödel's circle of acquaintances was so small. The most important collection of documentation is the Nachlass (roughly, writings left behind). Gödel apparently kept virtually every piece of paper that crossed his desk, from luggage tags and library request slips to correspondence from cranks and requests for autographs. The author was cataloger of the Nachlass and co-editor of Gödel's Collected Works, and he knows his subject well.
Gödel's life can be broadly described in three phases: his childhood years in
This is a biography for those who possess, in the author's words, "a modicum of mathematical understanding" including an acquaintance with the structure of modern mathematics (e.g., the development of analysis in the nineteenth century with its more sharply defined concepts of function and real number) and its major figures. He does not however assume any familiarity with modern mathematical logic. The bulk of Chapter 3 provides a summary of the development of logic up to Gödel's time, and a part of Chapter 6 is devoted to a similar discussion of set theory.
In Gödel's life we see the sweep of great intellectual developments against a backdrop of the history of the twentieth century. Gödel often seemed curiously naïve about the great and terrible events going on around him. Karl Menger notes that one of Gödel's letters in this vein established "a record for non-involvement on the threshold of … historic events." The author presents a portrait of Kurt Gödel that captures the immensity of his contributions and sensitively explores his complicated personality but does not ignore his occasional deep strangeness.
