Archive for the 'Modern Mechanix' tag
300 mph on balloon wheels
Seen this magazine cover on Modern Mechanix for a while now, but the article that went with it didn't appear there until just recently.
Gotta wonder who the unnamed designer was. And what engines he was thinking of using to power it. Also gotta wonder why he went to such extremes to streamline the body and the tires, but then left the driver's arms out on either side of the bike like sideways ape hangers.
Modern Mechanix then followed that article with a scan of a picture of a 1905 White Model E. According to the Standard Catalog, the Model E was a 15hp steam-driven car with a 93-inch wheelbase, available as a touring, limousine, canopy top touring or runabout. That year also saw the introduction of the signature "White curve" hood
Martin's ferries
Modern Mechanix has a scan from the April 1950 issue of Mechanix Illustrated of the Martin Stationette…
… but doesn't give much background info. Fortunately, we have the Special Interest Autos archives to fill us in. We have to go way back to SIA #21 (March-April 1974) for a feature article on the history of Captain James V. Martin's interest in cars.
early Toyotas, compressed-air car and the pres's new whips
Again, I keep forgetting to visit Modern Mechanix for weeks, and again, they've unearthed some cool stuff.
First, a brief article about the earliest postwar Toyotas. At the time, "entire output of the Toyota Motor Co., at Nagoya, is only some 30 cars and 200 trucks a month." A bit of a change since then. Can anybody identify the models shown?
Next, a compressed-air car from 1932. I'd have thought compressed air was long-abandoned as an alternative power source by then. Maybe the inventor hadn't known about those early experiments?
Finally, a fleet of 1950 Lincolns served as the presidential limousines (bodies by Henney, plus one convertible by Dietrich) for Harry Truman. Interesting how the article makes no mention of the cars' security. It was truly a different time…
twin-boom cars, accessories and Segway's predecessor
Haven't visited Modern Mechanix in a while. But, as it turns out, Europeans in the 1950s had some sort of kink for twin-boom cars:
Also, as it turns out, magazines back then concentrated on providing the least amount of facts that would help me further research their subjects.
Apparently, magazine editors soon abandoned their idea that we'd be driving around in McQuay-Norrises after the Phantom Corsair debuted.
The magazines made a big appeal to the homebuilder, which we hardly see nowadays. Consider the homebuilt postal scooter deal, the single-cylinder child's car that did 55 mph, the landsailer with Chevrolet suspension and the mahogany-bodied Speedball Special, pictured below.
Did anyone ever actually build one?
An interesting article on automotive engineering, including a tale of early aerodynamism featuring Carl Breer.
And while I've never spotted in my junkyard adventures certain accessories, like the left-foot accelerator, the Coo-Coo horn or the center armrest, I'm sure at least a few examples still exist.
yesterday's cars of tomorrow today
Haven't peeked in on Modern Mechanix in a while, and I'm missing all the good stuff. A Popular Science article from 1940 explains why, in the next two years, automakers will entirely switch to McQuay-Norrises.
And Mechanix Illustrated in 1950 got a look at some GM concept drawings which look absolutely nothing like what GM had cooking then.
I do like that last design. Very snappy and art deco.
Modern Mechanix
I don't know how, in all my Internet wanderings, I've never come across the Modern Mechanix website. I have great fun digging through my dad's Popular Science or Popular Mechanics magazines from the 1980s and early 1990s, especially when they announce the Cars of Tomorrow powered by atomic thunderbolts, or something like that. So imagine uncovering similar articles from as far back as the 1920s.
Of course, not all of the website's dedicated to car stuff – most of it's vintage nerderrific ads and other sundry articles, but every now and then, they reproduce something like the Heavily Armored Police Car from 1935, the auto-engined 300 mph motorcycle, the You Drive a MILLION DOLLAR Automobile article, the SKOOT-MOBILE ad or the prediction of a bubbletop windshield from 1939.
Sure hope Dad didn't throw away those old PopScis.

Students Purnima Baldwin and Rachel Kelsey have teamed up to raise awareness of the homeless community by creating and producting an original play, Infinity, to be presented Wednesday, April 23, on Boston Common.
Kelsey was inspired to write the piece through her work with Neighborhood Action, which reaches out to provide for the physical, medical and social needs of homeless people in Boston. Baldwin is Infinity's director.
"This play will open the eyes of the audience and force them to see beyond the stereotypes of the homeless community in Boston, with the hope that one day we will find a common ground," said Kelsey.
The cast is made up of 10 Suffolk University Theatre students. Together, they hope to create a new, more considerate view of the homeless community that at times has been poorly perceived by some of their peers.
"We see homeless people every day as we walk through the city, but how often do we stop to think about their stories?" said Kelsey. "As you walk down the street and pass a homeless man, do you just assume that he has done this to himself? There are reasons that go far beyond the stereotype and into the reality of the world we are living in. If people can begin to recognize these untold stories, we will feel we have succeeded."
Infinity will be performed at at 5 p.m. Wednesday, April 23, 2008, at the Parkman Bandstand on the Boston Common. In case of pouring rain, the show will be relocated to the basement of St. John the Evangelist Church, 35 Bowdoin St.
The production is free and open to the public.

Thorpe: Love will contend for MVP honors and rings for a long time
Get the 1500 ESPN SportsWire delivered to your inbox daily, and keep up with all the news in Twin Cities Sports
The Wolves have struggled this season and it looks like they'll miss the playoffs. Don't fault their best player for that, though.
Bad teams can have good players. It's also true that good-but-underachieving teams can have exceptional players.
It's a good thing he plays in the age when advanced metrics are more commonplace than they once were. Otherwise, he may commonly be known as a decent player but one 'who has never won anything.'
Instead, we have enough people who can appreciate his elite combination of skills: deadly outside shooting to go along with his rebounding and outlet passes.
We shouldn't hold it against Love that his team has underachieved, according to ESPN.com's Henry Abbott, in an episode of Truehoop TV posted Wednesday. Abbott and David Thorpe discussed Love and his standing as one of the best players in the NBA, despite playing for a Wolves team that appears destined to miss the playoffs for the 10th consecutive season.
"This is [an] amazing, amazing talent that could be the best player on almost every team in the league," Thorpe said of Love in the video (shared below). "When they do figure it out, whether it's in Minnesota or somewhere else, he is going to be contending for MVP honors and World Championship rings for a long time."
"What he does offensively really has never been seen before and I think he's still getting better," Thorpe said.

FORT COVINGTON –– Salmon River Central School District has made enough progress since 2012 to be moved off the list of focus schools districts with the New York State Education Department.
Since 2012, SRCS has been doing school improvement plans for the last three years on a district and school level for the junior/senior high school.
"We received good news the reason we started doing these plans in the first place was because we became a focus school a few years ago and we were notified that we have made progress over the last two years according to the school report card, so we are now eligible to come off the list," Director of Instruction Angela Robert said.
SRCS Superintendent Jane Collins said, "We can apply for the high school to not be a focus school district and the state has to agree with us. They put us on a list of good standing and they need to say that they are going to remove you. We have to go through that motion.
Ms. Robert said she has seen the benefits of the school doing these improvement plans.
"I am really looking forward to that because the staff has done a lot of work and the students are becoming more successful. This plan after doing this for three years we are on role and we are making a lot of progress," she said.
Ms, Robert explained that in the high school the professional climate and collaboration among the teachers has really grown since the implementation of these plans.
"My first instinct was that 'Oh no we can't stop now.' As I read further in the information, they said to follow through with your improvement plan and the grants they use for this will still be available this coming year," Ms. Robert said.
She said the paper work to get the high school off the list need to be filled with the state by Monday. The improvement plans were due to the state by last Thursday.
Back in 2012 New York State Education Department issued a list of 70 school districts throughout the state they identified as focus schools.
These districts were identified because of their low performance and lack of progress in English language arts and math combined. These schools were also identified by accountability groups such as racial/ethnic groups, low-income students, English language learners and students with disabilities.
At SRCS, the focus school was listed as the junior/senior high school.
Back in 2012, Ms. Collins said SRCS received the label as a focus district because of the high number of students from poor families that don't do well academically.

Namco announced that "Urban Reign" has gone gold for the PlayStation 2 computer entertainment system. A hard-hitting street brawler, the game allows players to duke it out against tough street gangs with or against their friends in a wide array of multiplayer modes featuring more than 60 playable characters, including guest fighters from the legendary "TEKKEN" series. "Urban Reign" will make its debut in stores this September and is rated T for Teen by the ESRB.
The single player mode of "Urban Reign" follows "tough guy for hire" Brad Hawk as he carries out his orders to protect a prominent gang boss in the city of Green Harbor. Fighting through the game's 100 missions alone or with a computer-controlled partner, Brad will uncover a trail of corruption and deception that spans throughout Green Harbor.
As a street brawler, Brad knows there is no such thing as a fair fight and will use any means necessary to achieve victory - including a vicious assortment of battle-tested fighting styles, double-team attacks and weapons such as shovels, bottles, pipes and bats to beat the enemy into submission. Fighting alone is no easy task, as partners come into play allowing the player to pull off fantastic double-team moves. The player can send enemies flying through the air as their partners catch and slam them onto the concrete.
Players can also challenge their friends to intense multiplayer matches in "Urban Reign," using the PlayStation 2 multitap to get up to four players into the fray at once. More than 60 unique characters - each a master of their own respective fighting style - are available for use in the game's gritty environments, complete with obstacles and destructible objects. Multiplayer game modes include head-to-head and team brawls, Weapon Battle mode in which characters try to hold onto one weapon for as long as possible to claim victory, and Destruction Battle mode in which teams fight the clock and each other in an attempt to destroy their enemy's object.
Taking a respite from their quests to claim victory in the King of Iron Fist Tournament, "TEKKEN" characters Paul Phoenix and Marshall Law make guest appearances in "Urban Reign." Players can fight as, or alongside, Paul or Marshall in the game's free or challenge modes or take them into battle against their friends in multiplayer matches, complete with trademark attacks straight from the "TEKKEN" series.

Lost In Space
10 comments:

Oh, Lynn, I just saw you posted this on facebook and had to respond. What a great post! First off, I think it is simply wonderful that you take such joy in your grandchildren. What a blessing for you to have them in your life. And second, I think it is so great that you volunteer and that it has such an impact on your life.ReplyDelete
And boy can I relate to the whole idea of body image and fun being background noise in my life. A lot of my self esteem is tied up in my weight--not a good thing I know--and I constantly think about food and what I am going to eat next in order to stay looking good. I recently have lost some weight and am heading down the scale again. And... people are beginning to notice and say nice things. And... it is so easy for me to get caught up in having my appearance validated by others. (Shallow, I know!!)
One of my closest friends refuses to indulge me or focus too much on my weight loss because he thinks I have too much tied up in all that. This post is a reminder to me that it is okay to have thoughts of food and weight in the back of my mind so that I can stay healthy, but I have to work in order not to be ruled by these thoughts. So much easier said than done, that's for sure!
Right now I am weary of food and body image being a constant buzzing in the back of my mind. I am mostly over the body image thing. But if I keep reading blogs regularly (and I do) that kind of keeps it in the forefront...ReplyDelete
The quote that's been taped to my mirror for years is this one by Robert Brault--no idea who he is:ReplyDelete
"Enjoy the little things, for one day you may look back and realize they were the big things."
I feel lucky having you for a friend. love, Val
Ali, you're not alone in getting caught up in having your appearance validated by others. I don't see that as shallow, though, but as a reminder that there is more internal work to be done. I want to be enough for me, but when I seek validation from others, I realize I'm not enough and so I set out to find out why...again. If the scale is moving for you and you're happy about that, that should be enough. I know, easier said than done!ReplyDelete
Debby, I had to back off blog reading for that very reason. I was starting to compare myself to others and feeling like I had to do the same challenges or eat the same foods as them (even though that's hardly the purpose for their blogs).
Val...you're the best :)

Loved your reply, Lynn. And I mean to say "I can relate to the whole idea of body image and food (not fun) being background noise in my life." Yikes--can I ever write a comment here without making a typo!ReplyDelete
And you are right that there is more internal work to be done--even at 41 years old! My close friend whom I mentioned tells me all that time that I should not let others validate me or my worth. And of course, I am in therapy so these issues are not pushed to side. I just wish I knew I looked good and that I liked my appearance without the validation in the same way that I know I an intelligent woman without needing that same external validation. But... this is why I am a work in progress.

I agree Lynn. Betsy and I were talking the other day about having an activity that focuses the brain to the degree that our thoughts cannot be in ten other directions. She is taking an ice skating class - a new sport for her and if she loses her focus she falls down. She says it feels good to let all the other things racing through her mind go for that period of time. Maybe I should learn to meditate?? This is the quote I have taped to my fridge "Do we feel a sense of disappointment over a regular or ordinary day? Ordinary days are the sustaining notes of daily life. They allow the high notes to be high and the low notes to be low. They provide tone and texture. Live life with an appreciation for the moment, for the simple pleasures of an ordinary day" I don't remember who said it, someone online credits it to Kim John Payne? I do have to remind myself to enjoy a laugh with my co-workers and to sometimes laugh at myself. The other day one of my male co-workers said I should do something about my gray hair - we are the same age, he is of course kidding with me, but I was offended, so I focused on his hysterical laughing, his frizzy hair, the wrinkles around his eyes and toothless smile and tried to keep my sense of humor. But for hours after that all I could think about was how much gray hair do I have ... thank you for thinking deep thoughts and putting them into words for the rest of us:)ReplyDelete
Lynn, great post. I'm not great at living in the moment and constantly focussed on what life will be like WHEN / IF I lose weight, or what's coming up, or what crap I've left behind. I really don't appreciate the small moments as they fly by - but I do realise (somewhere deep down) that they're the moments that matter!ReplyDelete
I was just searching the net for weight loss blogs and found YOU and I'm so excited becasue YOUR before and after pic has been one of my favorites for awhile now and I had no idea you had a blog! I instantly recognized it when I saw it. I have the pic on my Pinterest board of weight loss encouragement and also on my own newly begun weight loss blog. (Is that okay? I will go link it to your blog right now!) :) Anyway, THANK YOU for sharing your success!ReplyDelete
You are so right...it IS the little things that matter. Those moments are what we remember and cherish.ReplyDelete
I have the buzzing in the background constantly about food issues, how i look issues, what i should/shouldn't eat. I often wonder if i got rid of that kind of buzz, what would take it's place? I focus too much brain space on things dealing with weight and food; in a way, i need that buzzing to stay on track, in another way, it takes up a lot of space.
I need my own robot, too, to warn me of "Danger!" ;0)
Ugh, I have that constant buzzing too. I have gotten rid of it at times and I have SO much more clarity to think and do what really matters instead of obsessing about food.ReplyDelete

$200,000 Fort Lauderdale (G2) Quotes
$200,000 Fort Lauderdale (G2) Quotes
Trainer Christophe Clement (Summer Front):
"If you look at his races, he gets in trouble. You have to ride him that way, covered up, wait and make one run. He's got a great turn of foot, as you can see. Billy Mott's horse ran a great race, and he really opened up at the quarter pole. I knew it would take a really good horse to get him, and he's a really good horse.
"I think most probably either the Gulfstream Park Handicap if they don't kill me with the weight or the Kilroe Mile, one of the two. I like the Gulfstream race because he trains very well at Payson and it's easy for me to come here. I also like the Kilroe Mile because at a mile you usually get a really strong pace, and when you've got a good turn of foot it's nice.
"He's got such a spectacular turn of foot."
Jockey Joe Bravo (Summer Front):
"Turning for home, we were looking for place to turn him loose. When we found a seam, he just exploded. There wasn't a lot of pace in the race, but the thing about Summer Front is that he needs to turn off behind horses. When he sees daylight, he is just a monster when he turns for home. Look what he did today, that was a really special move to overcome such a slow pace. It isn't really about the horses he was in against. It was the pace. Any horse that goes that slow is going to be hard to catch."
On his recent stakes success "Good horses make you look good. Bad horses make you look bad."

Five thirty wake up call, I slept until 5:45. Staying up late the previous night to finish my blog posts for Day 1 & 2 was definitely catching up with me. Ah well, only 80 or so miles to pedal today from Bremerton to Aberdeen. Right?
We were fueled up with an early breakfast at the Hampton Inn and hit the road. The weather forecast and the skies we were watching were looking like rain. Lots of dark clouds were hanging around and since I applied ample amounts of sunscreen, with my luck, it would pour.
As we were leaving town, we passed the Puget Sound Naval Base – which looked like the place old aircraft carriers went to rust out. After posting this picture online, I heard from a few of you having a connection to Bremerton – one who's dad served on the USS Kitty Hawk and another who's great grandfather had a ship in Bremerton named after him. (USS Turner Joy DD-951)
Keep the comments coming guys.
The area from Bremerton to Aberdeen is logging country. We passed forest upon forest of clear cut, then re-plants, then what looked like 50+ year old trees. I can't help but think I've used a few pencils cut from these 'working forests' we pedaled past today. With the snowy mountains on the horizon, today's ride made for some nice views.
After a short caffeine and breakfast burrito break in Shelton (have to stay topped up!) we merged onto Highway 101 (yes, THAT Highway 101) and headed south to join up with a series of roads that would lead us to Aberdeen. That was a first for me – riding on a highway. But, with lots of smooth pavement and a 5ft shoulder, it wasn't as sketchy as it could have been.
Of all of the hundreds of logging trucks that passed us today, the milled cedar truck caught our attention the most. All of a sudden you perked right up as you smelled the freshly planed wood – completely different than the raw cut trees passing by us.
We made really good time today, knocking out some fast miles and a decent amount of climbing. Tonight, we're in Aberdeen. For those music trivia fans out there, Aberdeen was Kurt Cobain's place of birth. They recently voted to keep the "Come as you are" tribute on the town's welcome sign.
We're resting up and focusing on recovery today – tomorrow is a big day, well over 100 miles and some nice climbs by the looks of it. But that doesn't mean we won't scour Aberdeen in search for a bottle of wine or two.
Total today: 83 miles, 2,400ft

Welcome Annemarie!
Student project puts roots down
Justin Kondrat's independent project at Cornell University ended up including the community through plants. A display of more than 50,000 golden daffodils, white narcissus, and purple hyacinth flowers spelling out the word "ROOTED" in 10-foot letters turned heads this spring below Cornell's bell tower. The color of the flowers brightened up students' finals period, and because of solar-powered lights woven in among the bulbs, the letters shined brightly during the night.
According to Justin, "I hope this installation inspires various communities to never give up on their dreams when times get tough."

New York Botanic Garden in ABC News
ABC News recently highlighted the New York Botanic Garden's current exhibit, "Groundbreakers: Great American gardens in the 20th century and the women who designed them."
"Groundbreakers" explores the work of garden designers Marian Coffin, Beatrix Farrand and Ellen Shipman, and garden photographers Jessie Tarbox Beals, Mattie Edwards Hewitt, and Frances Benjamin Johnston.
"These women were the leading lights in their fields. And in a broader cultural sense, the work they did helped elevate the quality of life for many people across America through these landscapes and their photos and writing," said Todd Forrest, the Botanical Garden's vice president of Horticulture and Living Collections.

MRI negative on Vikings end Jared Allen, who should play on Sunday
Get the 1500 ESPN SportsWire delivered to your inbox daily, and keep up with all the news in Twin Cities Sports
It appears Minnesota Vikings end Jared Allen is in the clear with his ailing back.
An NFL source said on Tuesday that an MRI on Allen's back showed no structural damage and he should be fine to play in this week's critical game against Chicago.
Allen reported back spasms after Sunday's loss at Green Bay, leading the team to put him through more tests as a precaution.
He acknowledged after the game he also has been battling a torn labrum in one of his shoulders that may require surgery but said he doesn't feel it's impacting his play.
"Honestly, my hats off to our training staff," said Allen, who also has appeared on the injury report with neck and groin problems this season.
"I've been banged up a lot this year from (my) groin to my shoulder. They've done a great job of getting me there. I've never had to miss a practice for it. I've never had to miss a game for it. They do a good job of keeping it healthy and, heck, I think my AC joint is probably the worst part about it."
Allen was credited with 1½ sacks against the Packers, giving him 8½ for the season -- well off the pace when he recorded 22 sacks in 2011.

Sheesh. I just bought a WPihttp://www.dpreview.com/news/0602/06021503pentaxw10.aspFWIW...
Edited by heninger on 02/16/2006 13:04:02 MST.
Wade, Thanks for the information on the W10.Does your WPi have a battery that you can take out of the camera, as, carry an extra battery on a hike and replace the dead one with a charged battery when you need to?I have been thinking about the WPi but now will wait and take a look at the W10.
Yes, the battery is removable. It lasts forever too - I filled my 512 card twice and its still going strong. And that with quite a bit of flash usage - the WPI has a slow lens and requires the help, sadly.The W10 seems like 90% the same camera with a few new tweaks.

Ghoul – Free Tracks For Xmas – Day 23
Day 23 is a bit of a favourite from the DotD team – Ghoul
P.Henry reviewed 'Transmission Zero' a few weeks back and who knows it might even make an appearance in his year end list.
With the label Tankcrimes for support, Ghoul has released one of their best. Transmission Zero raises the bar from their previous effort Splatterthrash. And after the bar is raised, it probably will impale any non-believers. Pick up this album, because when the zombie apocalypse arrives, you'll need a soundtrack.
After hiding out in the catacombs of Creepsylvania for years, Ghoul returns with their 4th album. 11 tracks of their trademark death thrashing crossover mayhem tweeked with elements of surf rock and doom.
Grab 'Off With Their Heads' right here. Not only that you can blast off to Tankcrimes to download a 22 track complilation – All for free…

|Appalachian State to Hold Women's Studies Lecture
|Written by Adam Hicks
|Wednesday, 27 August 2008 18:28

Nichols explained the lecture series will feature talks by scholars from different disciplines who will discuss issues like teenage girls and internet predators, women and careers in information technology, men and masculinity in today's job market, rap and binge drinking on college campuses and the "gender" of school shootings.
According to Nichols, the presentations will be held almost every Thursday evening starting this week through late November.

Tuesday Afternoon Reverie
06 May, 2014
by Anja Notanja Sieger
It is 2:21 p.m. and here's what is going down: a recording of violin music saturates the air. Someone walks past hauling a 2.88 (or so) foot long camcorder. The fronds of a palm tree sensuously caress the south column. A security guard carefully explains how to get to the Metro Market to a hotel guest. I estimate the guest to be about thirty years old by the way he has trimmed his beard. Another man in a baseball cap asks me if I am typing a letter to my mother, I am not. I am writing a letter to the hotel lobby, or rather what is happening inside it, since the lobby itself might not be sentient in the way that you and I are. If it were though, I'd feel sorry for the rug. Here is this exquisite rug placed on top of the ornate wall-to-wall carpeting and people just walk right over it without respectfully acknowledging the brief yet fantastic change of terrain.
This is a place where no matter where you look there is something that you can get lost dazing into. I am going to stop typing now so that I may enter reverie as I consider the spatial delights experienced by the light emanating from all the electrical fixtures. I consider the spatial tension that exists between the empty chairs at the top of the stairs. If you stick around in this place long enough you will hear each quarter of the hour marked by the dingdong chime of a grandfather clock. Today I've typed here long enough to see a ball bearing pop off my typewriter and roll down the marble steps. The steps here remind me of salami. How delicious!
A man descends the stairs and I notice that he has clipped his sunglasses to the backside of his turtleneck collar. I have never seen anyone keep their sunglasses snug against their neck vertebrae like that before. Someone loudly asks, "Anymore gifts?" Their companion loudly replies, "We are up to $1500,000 now." People wheel their baggage through. It is funny to think about how 20 years ago all this luggage would have been lugged in without wheels. When I was a kid it still had not occurred to society to put wheels on suitcases. We have come a long way. I leave my typewriter to go sit by the fire for a while. My eyes close. Val, the bartender asks if I want anything, but no, I just want to sit by the fire. "That's fine, people have been doing that since 1893," says Val. As I sit I hear a pair of middle-aged women in the midst of some profuse giggling. I walk over to them. Pam & Kate explain how they just got back from a Photoshop conference and are now feeling giddy. The Happy Hour has descended. Roc at the desk has told me that the lobby bar is where Marilyn Monroe liked to sip her drinks. The stairwell is where Elvis Presley stood to graciously wave at everyone. Roc himself spent an hour and a half discussing international politics with Margaret Thatcher. Roc also said, "The hotel never used to allow dogs in here like they do now. Dogs love the elevator here! Each floor has it's own bouquet of smells that the dog catches whiff of as they go past in the elevator. I wish you could interview a dog and get them to tell you what it is that they smell on each floor." Hmm, good idea.

I love this product! I have been using a generous sample size that I was given when I purchased my moisturiser for around 2 months, 2 - 3 times a week.
I have drier skin and suffer with some redness on my cheeks, so I don't use it every day. But my skin feels smoother, more refined and glowing. I also have definitely seen a difference when applying my make up.

Have already gone thorough one bottle. Usually don't use exfoliate find the beads to harsh in the cheaper brands. Really enjoying this - using it once every morning more so in my congested areas such as my chin and around the nose. Has made a difference smoother skin less blackheads and blemishes. Just purchased my second bottle :)

I bought this around 6 months ago, within the first week of using it i went from thinking it was great to thinking it was starting to dry my skin out, but I decided to stick it out another week! I would have a tendency to break out around my chin and jawline and although that area had cleared up before I started using this product it really broke out in awfully painful big red spots!! i stopped using the microfoliant although it took my skin a long time to heal!
A few months later I started taking evening primrose oil and my skin was looking great. I decided to have another pop at using the Daily Microfoliant and after using it ONCE my skin broke out again!
This is such a strong prosduct that if your skin is sensitive at all it just ruins it! Stay clear if you think this might apply to you!!

After years of using Proactiv, it stopped working for me. I was devastated. Proactiv gave me the most beautiful skin; I was constantly complimented on it. So when it stopped working, I went on a years-long journey to find replacements.
All in all I discovered this: I did not need an acne product. After years of thinking I had oily, red, acne-prone skin, turns out I didn't. I still don't know what skin type I am (it goes from one to the other, depending on the seasons), but after months of using normal cleansers and harsh exfoliants, I discovered the thing that made me love Proactiv: the daily exfoliating cleanser.
Enter Dermalogica. I received a sample of this product in a Luxe Box (Canadian version of Birchbox). I fell in love. It was gentle and effective at exfoliating. I could use it every day (in the summer/spring/fall) without getting dry (I use it every other day to every 3 days in the winter, but my skin is bone dry during that season). It calmed my red, patchy skin down, got rid of all the dry parts, and left my skin feeling super fresh and clean.
Now I must admit when it comes to skincare, I am cheap. I do not like to spend a lot of money on things when there are gems like witch hazel as a toner (a couple bucks) and coconut oil as a cleanser. So when I ran out of this sample, spending $80 CAD on a full bottle of this stuff seemed pretty terrifying. I held out for a while, and noticed a definite change in my skin. It was peel-y and I broke out a little (which was strange). Overall my skin looked pretty patchy too. I decided, okay. Time to invest in this product.
I bought the full bottle of this exfoliant in April 2012. 10 months later, I am still using it, and it's at least half full (maybe more, I can't tell). I am shocked it's lasted this long, and thrilled. I can afford $80 a year (or two) for sure.
Is it pricy? Yes. But it lasts FOREVER. I now budget for this product. Does it work? YES. It's gentle and I can use it all year (which is something, considering I have to change up my cleanser and moisturizer twice a year). The packaging is nice, it comes in a very parmesan-cheese type dispenser, and it's easy to get the right amount of product (which is fairly little). It contains salicylic acid, so for those of you who have blemishes, this may help (normally salicylic acid does nothing for my blemishes, so I stick to benzoyl peroxide, but for some reason, this stuff works. I have no idea how).
Moral of the story: if I can justify spending the money on this, anyone can. I am a student, and I have to spend carefully. This product just happens to be worth the cash. It's given me some of the confidence back that I lost when Proactiv stopped working for me. Does my skin glow like it did when using Proactiv? No. But I don't think one product can do that for you. Proactiv was a daily exfoliator + glycolic toner combo, so I think that's what did it. I'm still trying to find a great glycolic toner. Stay tuned to my reviews :)

Most scrub exfoliaters (even those that claim you can use them daily) are just a bit too harsh for my face and I don't tend to buy them anymore. I find this product is perfect for gentle exfolation, keep it in my shower and use it every few days after cleansing. I don't think it's a miracle product, I personally don't notice any long term changes to tone or pigmentation. But does the job of a nice gentle exfoliant. You have to be careful not to get water in the container though.

I wish my skin liked this exfoliant because it is lovely and gentle but sadly it doesn't. I used this for two days, it felt like it dried out my skin, my forehead became really congested and i could see horrible acne coming underneath. I stopped using this and two days later my skin was so much better; the congestion was nearly gone, the acne had died down and my skin felt much clearer. I think i was just unlucky as so many peple like this product, but I would not recommend for those with acne-prone, sensitive skin.

I have a collection of dermalogica products, and some of these have an exfoliant in them. So i am careful on what products i use in a day so i don't exfoliate too much. But after i have cleansed in the morning i tend to always use this as i find aswel as doing its job it also makes my makup go on and blend much better than on a day i don't use it.

After washing my face with a skinceuticals cleanser, I use dermalogica's daily microfoliant. I apply a small amount into damp skin and rub gentyly and then wipe off with a warm damp muslin cloth. It removes all make up and provides clarity without being too harsh. You only need a small amount and the bottle lasts ages - I am never without this

I bought this after a facial on recommendation of the esthetician to help brighten and tone my skin. I used it as the bottle directed, at first I didn't notice any difference except for mild dryness. After about a week of daily use my jawline and chin started breaking out like I haven't seen since my teenage years (I am 28). I thought that maybe my skin was "purging" so I kept using it for almost 6 more weeks, but the breakouts got worse and I started getting painful bumps on my jawline, combined with tons of whiteheads. I stopped using it 2 days ago and already my skin feels a little better, but it is going to take weeks for the awful breakout to heal!

Easy to make and taste great
Super easy & super yummy! Husband and kids loved these...
Great scones! I have made them twice an left out the sugar. It is unnecessary because you spread jam and cream all over them!
Great recipe and quick to knock out if you dont have much time to cook something
i have never made scones in my life, and they actually turned out perfect, and i wanted to put 2 tbsp of caster sugar instead of one, and also the mixture became sticky but i just added more flour, and turned out great so proud of myself lol
These scones are good. The method is a bit of a novel considering all we are making is scones, it's not rocket science! Still, quick and easy to whip up of you skip through the wordiness.
This was my first ever time making scones and they turned out absolutely perfect! Everybody at work raved about them. One thing I would do though next time is make them a bit bigger as I like my scones nice and big. These were more a cute snack size :)
very easy to make and they tasted great!
Scones were simply scrumptious, excellent recipe . Buon Appetit
Best scones I have ever made! Hit with the family... Too yummy!
This is a great and easy recipie, and a great alternative is using the dough to make pizza. :)
This is a great basic recipe for scones! A lot of people seem to think scones are a hard recipe to pull off, but this makes it sinch....
So easy to make! Made it a few times now, always turns out great :)
Perfect, thanks. Even worked way over here in Scotland where everything is upside down.
Just pulled them out of the oven and I have already eaten 3!! First time I have made Scones and this was a very easy to follow recipe and most importantly they taste GREAT!!
Very good detail and helpful hint.
So easy and so yummy to make. This is going down in my cookbook.
I used the cheddar method as mentioned at the end, but I also added some bacon peices. Turned out beautifully.
For someone like me (really bad cook - but trying) this recipe was a dream! I kept running back and forth from computer to kitchen making sure I was doing it right. The scones turned out golden, and puffy, with yummy golden crusty surface and light inside. Before I could control myself I had eaten 4 with butter melting on them...
I used this to make scones for my boys, and they loved them. And that's a huge thing for my eldest, he has aspergers and is very very fussy and will only eat a limited range of foods. Thankyou so much.
Very easy recipe, quantities about right. Whipped it up on ANZAC day for a family treat. Hot buttered scones with tea, the best,
I was a scone virgin, and pulled this one by Googling for something with which to surprise Her Indoors this arv... she sprung me just as they were going into the oven... turned out just like the ones Nana used to make. Big thumbs up from me, and I'll be batching these to pack for smoko now and again, smothered in the obligatory Golden Syrup.
I tried to make these for my wife. the mixture didnt turn out and now im in trouble. Taste was good though.
Did not like this recipe at all. It was difficult to knead and had a terrible texture.
This was a great recipe - I doubled the recipe and it still worked well. Beautiful texture, taste and looked great. Good recipe and fabulous cooking tips. Thanks, taste.com.au !
I just cooked up the cheese ones. They have a lovely light/soft texture although I may use a little extra milk next time. All in all, yum!
I tried making scones for the first time on Sunday. It turns out quite good. Instead of using finger to rub the dough, I actually use the dough mixer. You can get those from HOUSE. It makes it so easy. I used 1 cup of bacon & scallot instead of sugar. I also cut them into squares instead of using the 5cm ring so that I don't waste any dough. The only problem I had was the scone didn't rise much. I will definitely try again. The taste is quite good though!
Here is a tip when baking scones always have a preheated very hot tray. This scone recipe is very good fruit, can be added or dates, or cinnamon, and walnuts
I made the buttermilk and brown sugar variation and I found them easy to make and they were extremely tasty. In fact I would say they were the best scones I have ever made. There are some great helpful hints in the recipe which I heeded. Yum!
I made 2 batches of this for a morning tea at work. Was easy and tasty! I personally found it hard to get the dough to the right consistency, so it turned out a little too dense and I didnt get the full rise effect.. but tasted great. Was a big hit at the office with jam and cream :)

5 Unique Christmas Tree Decoration Ideas By Julie
If you've been searching for some unique Christmas tree decoration ideas, look no further. Here are some easy and fun Christmas tree decorating themes that will make your whole family smile!
Photo Tree
Use your tree to show your love to your friends and family by decorating it with photo ornaments, featuring photos of your nearest and dearest. Your loved ones will be so flattered to be featured on your Christmas tree, it'll be a wonderful gift unto itself.
Chalk Crystals Personalized Ornament in Stormy Blue
For an even more special tree, you can create DIY photo ornaments with cardboard, paint, glitter, glue, and hooks. And you can turn all of the holiday photo cards and Christmas cards you receive into ornaments, as well!
Friends & Family DIY Tree
Go to the craft store and buy as many craft supplies as you can - Styrofoam balls, pretty holiday paper, glitter, glue, beads, sequins, pompoms, construction paper, pipe cleaners, felt, and more. Invite your friends and family over for a Christmas tree decorating party.
Ask everyone to make a Christmas ornament or two for your tree. In return, ply them with yummy Christmas goodies and drinks, and play festive holiday tunes. Have them sign their initials on each ornament they create, so that every year, when you decorate your tree, you'll remember how special it was that your loved ones made these ornaments just for you and your family.
Found Object Christmas Tree
Search your home for interesting (and free!) objects to hang on your Christmas tree. Did you recently renovate a room or two? Use old paint chips from the hardware store as colorful, lightweight tree ornaments. Scour your sewing drawer for pretty bits of old ribbon and fabric that can easily adorn a tree, or attach hooks to small toys, dolls, and action figures for an adorable tree that your kids will love. Stick ornament hooks into old wine corks and hang them for a sophisticated look, or take that box of old CDs that has been collecting dust ever since you bought an MP3 player, and hang them -- shiny side out -- for a tree with major impact.
Nature Christmas Tree
For a very frugal holiday tree with rustic appeal, just take a walk in the woods! Collect as many pretty leaves, pine cones, seed pods, and other gifts from nature that you can get your hands on, and use them to decorate your tree. For a truly special addition, find some realistic looking, feathery fake birds and add them to the tree, as well.
Foodie Christmas Tree
Decorate your tree with edible items! Make a good old-fashioned popcorn garland to string around the tree, and hang berries and fruits as decoration (dried citrus slices make wonderful, fragrant ornaments). Or, if you've got a sweet tooth, decorate your tree with candy! Candy canes are an obvious choice, but you can stick an ornament hook into the wrapper of any candy for a bright, fun, and delicious option.
How did you decorate your tree this year - with traditional ornaments, with unique items, or with a combination of both?

HOUSTON, June 13 -- Lyondell Chemical Co. Wednesday said all refining units at Lyondell-Citgo Refining LP near Houston are expected to be fully operational by the middle of next week.
This will allow LCR to return to full crude oil processing rates of 260,000 b/d.
A coker unit had a flash fire on June 9 that was related to power failures associated with Tropical Storm Allison. As a result, the refinery has been running at half its rated capacity.
An employee who sustained hot steam burns in the incident was released from the hospital on Tuesday, June 12. He is expected to make a full recovery. Two other employees injured in the incident were treated and released June 9.
Lyondell-Citgo, a venture of Lyondell Chemical and Citgo Petroleum Corp., operates a full conversion refinery on the Houston Ship Channel, processing crude oil to produce gasoline, low sulfur diesel, and jet fuel.
