Okla. wide receiver charged with indecent exposure
NORMAN, Okla. — Oklahoma wide receiver Trey Metoyer has been charged with two counts of indecent exposure and has left the football team.
Cleveland County prosecutors filed the charges Tuesday against the 20-year-old Metoyer, a sophomore who is accused of exposing himself to two women in Norman, according to an affidavit filed in the case.
Coach Bob Stoops said Metoyer has not been with the 18th-ranked Sooners since before its game against TCU on Oct. 5 and "I do not anticipate that he will return to the team in the future."

SNAPPING snippets of life with a mobile phone's built-in camera don't suit me yet, at a loss I'm still at which buttons to press to grab a moment, transfix an image—pixel-pocked picture—and have it for keeps. The hand's faster than the eye, uh, even for too many a thigh-- sense of touch, tactile turning to tactics can pack more filling. Much more fulfilling feeling than sight, why, luscious eyefuls can be had hands-on, or maybe trigger a hard-on taking delight in holding rather than beholding, most especially lush geography thrumming smack between thighs, hah, feel it…
An entry in the web log mangkokolum.blogspot.com is a full-length drama I've adapted from a Japanese folk tale, "The Picture Wife." My daughter asked me to write it as a Tagalog play for children for showing on a Valentine's Day. And had it dubbed "Larawang Kapilas-Puso." Lewd landlord falls for the portrait of a lovely woman who happens to be the missus of a lowly peasant. Landlord grabs the peasant's missus and after a quaint twirling swirl of events, peasant gets to keep his wife while landlord keeps the picture-- but loses position, power, palace and all. Beauty thus belongs in the heart of either holder or beholder.
Moral of the tale: a ravishing woman's picture may paint a thousand words but better yet have the woman—she'll gush and geyser words by zillions plus an earful.
There's something that feels out of place in snapping photographs with a mobile phone, something about its heft and the less-than-snug fit in one's palm. A decent single lens reflex camera feels like a machine pistol of sorts, a plunger-fitted bomb detonator. Or something that takes care of business once leveled and ticked with a power drive, say, at a gaggle of trapoliticos from Congress or a feeding frenzy of the top Malacañang transient with her Cabinet errand boys. Say that's a cheap shot. A potshot. That's being too critical of 'em rapine critters but isn't photography called "art of the critical moment?"
Best to snap at an unguarded moment or when the subject seems to both define and defy the moment… love the apotheosis of the depth of field, coruscating highlight of details, and a just-right shutter speed that sheds ample light to capture momentum of that moment, hah! People can go through that—the moment either defines 'em or they defy. And thus define the moment that might be a telling moment of truth.
Look back in fecund fondness at shoots past for a cheesecake-fronted tabloid which can be tabbed as peryodiyakol, maybe pornodiko. What I did ply as insistent whisper to shapely stacks of damsels in dishabille, posed betwixt and between coy and coquette: "Haay, hija, ibuka pa ang bukana, let camera lens have a thorough lick… I mean, look at yours…ehek, at you." Iba talaga ang diskarte ng utographer.
Taking a picture means stepping back, composing the shot, snapping away—and picture-taker's evident presence is visibly left out of the picture. He's there but he's not there.
We don't see things as they are but as we are, exclaims sensuous writer Anais Nin: the resultant photograph becomes the photographer, warts, zits, leprous scabs, psoriasis flakes, shabby lighting, lousy composition and perspective and all… After soaking a flurry of sights on-site, we expect some tidbits of insight, snapped and frozen in a frame of space-time in a photograph.
So I got to those forbidding parts of sylvan Montalban a few weeks back. There were four of us who trudged through the same unruly terrain, soaked our sights and senses on the same sights. But as a picky eater does, each one of us chose to pick out morsels to chew as cud. Once upon a trail, they'd be seeing a gauntlet of thickets and brier. But I made out the outlines of a snake, a fleeting form of a fleeing skink, seed pods of sesame plants scattered in disordered rows…
Sights can escape plain sight.

Notre Dame has so much to offer fans and guests during home football weekends. From Trumpets Under the Dome in the Main Building, to pep rallies at various iconic locations on campus, the Player Walk from the Gug to the Stadium, and sightseeing across campus; there is something to see on nearly every square inch of Our Lady's University. In efforts to assist our fans and guests to enjoy everything offered during a Game Day weekend, courtesy carts and pedal cabs are available to fans and guests on Football Fridays and Game Day Saturdays.
Due to safety issues involving darkness and extreme pedestrian and vehicular traffic, pedal cabs are NOT available after Notre Dame Football games. Please review our New Pilot Service for 2016 post-game courtesy transportation information below.
Courtesy Cart Service
To experience all that a game weekend has to offer, Game Day extends our courtesy golf carts service to everyone on campus. The courtesy carts operate as a flag-down service and are available for one-way rides around campus.
Please note golf carts cannot be reserved.
Hours of Operation
|Game Time
|3:30 p.m. Kickoff
|11:00 a.m. - 5:15 p.m.
|10:00 a.m. - 2:00 p.m.

|11:00 a.m. - 6:00 p.m
|11:00 a.m. - 6:00 p.m
Post-game courtesy transportation will be available 30 minutes after the game concludes for guests with limited mobility plus one companion to three designated area drop-off locations across campus.
Guests can access this service after the game by coming to the areas near Stadium First Aid Rooms located on the east side near Section 4 of the stadium at Gate A, or the west side of the stadium at Section 25 between Gates C and D.
Guest Service Teams will be on site to assist with our 2016 Pilot Post-Game Service upon the completion of all home games..
The three designated drop-off areas are:
1. White Field Shuttle pick-up at the Library Circle
2. Bulla Lot Shuttle pick-up at Gate 4 north dome, Joyce Fieldhouse
3. Burke Golf Course with option to be dropped at Rockne Memorial or near Bookstore Basketball Courts
Please note this 2016 courtesy pilot service will run on continuous loops to set destinations only and begin 30 minutes after each game and run for one hour for guests with limited mobility plus one companion. With extreme vehicular and pedestrian traffic upon the completion of the game, pedestrian safety is of our utmost priority. We welcome guests to join us at our specified locations after the game.
To view the White Field and Bulla shuttle routes and Burke Golf Course drop-off areas, please review the 2016 Game Day Parking Map.
Pedal Cab Service
Game Day offers a pedal cab service to guests on home game weekends. The cabs, which can service two adults at a time, are operated by different student clubs from across campus. All monetary donations and proceeds from this service go to the student clubs. Look for the green pedal cabs making their way around campus throughout football weekends!
For the 2016 season, the following clubs will be operating pedal cabs:
- Arnold Air Society
- Cycling
- Ultimate Frisbee
- Ski & Snowboard
Hours of Operation

If there's one thing that can be said about meditation, it's if you are doing it "correctly," there aren't a lot of places to hide. Freedom from denial is a benefit (and for some a curse) that meditation offers. And while this opportunity might be a hard wake up call for some, for most, freedom from denial is a nice place to be.
Frank Jude Boccio in this Yoga Journal post embraces the idea of denial and the freedom from it through meditation. According to Boccio, a good place to start on your path out of denial is through the Five Remembrances, Buddha's teaching on impermanence, aging, health, change, and death. It is in these teachings that a person can embrace reality through the acceptance of impermanence.
Through your attachments you create mental manacles that bind you to the limited view that life is your life, your body, your lover, your family, your possessions. As your insight into impermanence deepens you start to see the truth of the "no-separate-self." When you can extend beyond the limits you've created you see that your life is not really "yours" but all of life itself manifesting through you.
Read more meditation tips from Boccio on the Five Remembrances here.

Author has written 2 stories for Warriors.
Some stuff you might like to know...
I'm known as Breezestar, or Breeze, on multiple websites, including Freewebs and Amazon.com. I love to write.
My main work right now is my Warriors-related fanfic(ish) trilogy The Greatest Storm. So far, I've finished Book One, titled Prophecy Rising, and I am currently posting it here. I'd really appreciate reviews! Constructive criticism is good! After I've finished posting Prophecy Rising, I plan on posting Book Two (titled Advent Storm)- which I am in the process of writing right now (and I'm maybe a third of the way finished). Book Three, Eternal Night, has been started... But I dunno when it'll get posted...
I love writing, reading, and running. Some of my favorite books are:
I'm also a fan of The Legend of Zelda games, Final Fantasy, Vampire Knight (my addiction!), The Office (which is by far my favorite show), and Numb3rs (which is giving The Office a run for its money as my favorite show, as I am now helplessly addicted...).
I hope to one day publish a book, or series of books. In fact, I already have the ideas and the plot (all thoroughly planned out in my head)- I just need to take the time to write it all down. Easier said than done.
Well, that's all for now. PM me if you have any questions/comments, and please, please take the time to read and review my story!
Oh, and I just want to take a moment to give all of my readers and reviewers an extra big thanks. Without you... well, I would still write, but it would not be nearly as gratifying. Thanks so much guys!
Oh, and if you ever want to read more of Book Two than what I've posted, check out my Blog at - All 19 chapters that I've written thus far are posted there, though not totally edited (as I am my own editor, and I'm only human... sigh).
NOTICE: I am afraid to say that, due to the lack of free time in my ever-busy life, I have not yet written, nor will have time in the foreseeable future to write, more on my story... It's sad... But that's what happens when homework eats you alive...

In the December 2010 issue, C&K profiles legendary paddler Reg Lake (Reg Lake: His paddling hasn't petered—it's progressed). We're publishing that piece, by Kate Stepan, below, and leading it off with some fresh footage shot by Lake.
The footy features sea kayaker Warren Williamson out by himself in awesome conditions—20 knot winds, opposing 6.6 knot ebb and massive rolling waves—in Deception Pass, Washington, on Nov. 16. The lighting, water, sound and paddling are all impressive; Williamson's in an Illusion, from performance long-boat composite crafter Sterling's Kayaks.
The tie in? The 5th annual Deception Pass Dash returns this Saturday, Dec. 4. (Our preview of the upcoming Dash is HERE.)
San Joaquin. Middle Fork of the Kings. South Fork of the Merced. Canyon runs that, when mentioned in whitewater paddling circles, invoke fear in the hearts of even the steeliest young gnar-chasers. For Reg Lake, expeditions were a way of life in the early '80s as he and his paddling buddies raced around California's High Sierra, blazing first descents of the most difficult and committing steep creeks in North America.
An airplane machinist by trade, Lake enjoyed working with his hands. But the first time he put his paws on a kayak paddle, in 1972, the then 26-year-old decided "this was it." Two years later, Lake quit his job with United Airlines and opened a paddling shop outside of San Francisco. Plastic kayaks had just hit sales racks when he started paddling with other big names like Doug Tompkins, Royal Robbins, and Patagonia founder Yvon Chouinard. Together, they knocked off these remote and daunting Sierra Nevada gems. Lake refers to the early '80s as a golden age of paddling, when "exploration was part of what kayaking was."
"We had the ability and plastic boats had evolved," he says. "If we didn't do it, someone else would." In 1980, on the Devil's Postpile gorge section of the San Joaquin, Lake was the first to run the unscoutable, unportageable Class V crucible.
But by 1981, when Lake and his crew carried their loaded 12-foot Perception Mirages over Mount Whitney and into the Kern River headwaters, his son was 3 months old. "Things became black and white instead of gray," he says. "While looking at a rapid, it wasn't like, 'I think I can do this.' It was, 'Can I do this?'" They bagged the Middle Fork Kings the next year, followed by the Grand Canyon of the Tuolomne—racing to beat, then joining, rival paddlers and fellow Sierra legends Chuck Stanley and Lars Holbek at the put-in.
As the '80s progressed, family responsibilities took center stage and Lake turned from steep, mountainous descents to open-ocean crossings and big-volume Class III rivers for multi-day trips with his sea kayak. By 1990, he was visiting the fjords of Chilean Patagonia each winter. "I've seen the nooks and crannies of the planet from the seat of a kayak," remarks Lake, now 66. "It was fun to play with the front edge of the sport. But things evolve or they get stagnant."
Though he's dabbled in other sports, like hang-gliding and mountain biking, it's the variety in paddling that Lake is passionate about. "Not that those other things aren't interesting," he says, "but with kayaking, I still find myself wondering, 'What's on the other side?' Plus I already had the ins to get good gear. Why would I want to lose that?"
These days, Lake lives in Ferndale, Wash., 15 miles from the Canadian border and half a tank of gas from the famed Skookumchuck tidal rapid, where he loves to surf his long boat.

1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to devices for dermatology and more particularly to a skin resurfacing system that utilizes (i) a skin interface having a diamond fragment abrading surface for removing skin surface layers as the working end is translated over a patient's skin, (ii) a source for delivery of a sterile fluids to the skin interface of the system; and (iii) an aspiration system for delivering fluids to and removing fluids and skin debris from the treatment site.
2. Description of Background Art
Dermatologists and plastic surgeons have used various methods for removing superficial skin layers to cause the growth of new skin layers (i.e., commonly described as skin resurfacing techniques) since the early 1900's. Early skin resurfacing treatments used an acid such as phenol to etch away surface layers of a patient's skin that exhibited damage which thereafter were replaced by new skin. (The term damage when referring to a skin disorder is herein defined as any cutaneous defect, e.g., including but not limited to rhytides, hyperpigmentations, acne scars, solar elastosis, other dyschromias, stria distensae, serborrheic dermatitus).
Following the removal of surface skin layers at a particular depth, no matter the method of skin removal, the body's natural wound-healing response begins to regenerate the epidermis and underlying wounded skin layers. The new skin layer will then cytologically and architecturally resemble a younger and more normal skin. The range of resurfacing treatments can be divided generally into three categories based on the depth of the skin removal and wound: (i) superficial exfoliations or peels extending into the epidermis, (ii) medium-depth resurfacing treatments extending into the papillary dermis; and (iii) deep resurfacing treatments that remove tissue to the depth of the reticular dermis (see FIGS. 1A-1B).
Modern techniques for skin layer removal include: CO2 laser resurfacing which falls into the category of a deep resurfacing treatment; Erbium laser resurfacing which generally is considered a medium-depth treatment; mechanical dermabrasion using high-speed abrasive wheels which results in a medium-depth or deep resurfacing treatment; and chemical peels which may range from a superficial to a deep resurfacing treatment, depending on the treatment parameters. A recent treatment, generally called micro-dermabrasion, has been developed that uses an air-pressure source to deliver abrasive particles directly against a patient's skin at high-velocities to abrade away skin layers. Such a micro-dermabrasion modality may be likened to sand-blasting albeit at velocities that do not cause excessive pain and discomfort to the patient. Micro-dermabrasion as currently practiced falls into the category of a superficial resurfacing treatment.
A superficial exfoliation, peel or abrasion removes some or all of the epidermis (see FIGS. 1A-1B) and thus is suited for treating very light rhytides. Such a superficial exfoliation is not effective in treating many forms of damage to skin. A medium-depth resurfacing treatment that extends into the papillary dermis (see FIG. 1B) can treat many types of damage to skin. Deep resurfacing treatments, such as CO2 laser treatments, that extend well into the reticular dermis (see FIG. 1B) cause the most significant growth of new skin layers but carry the risk of scarring unless carefully controlled.
It is useful to briefly explain the body's mechanism of actually resurfacing skin in response to the removal of a significant depth of dermal layers. Each of the above-listed depths of treatment disrupts the epidermal barrier, or a deeper dermal barrier (papillary or reticular), which initiates varied levels of the body's wound-healing response. A superficial skin layer removal typically causes a limited wound-healing response, including a transient inflammatory response and limited collagen synthesis within the dermis. In a medium-depth or a deep treatment, the initial inflammatory stage leads to hemostasis through an activated coagulation cascade. Chemotactic factors and fibrin lysis products cause neutrophils and monocytes to appear at the site of the wound. The neutrophils sterilize the wound site and the monocytes convert to macrophages and elaborate growth factors which initiate the next phase of the body's wound-healing response involving granular tissue formation. In this phase, fibroblasts generate a new extracellular matrix, particularly in the papillary and reticular dermis, which is sustained by angiogenesis and protected anteriorly by the reforming epithelial layer. The new extracellular matrix is largely composed of collagen fibers (particularly Types I and III) which are laid down in compact parallel arrays (see FIG. 1B). It is largely the collagen fibers that provide the structural integrity of the new skin—and contribute to the appearance of youthful skin.
All of the prevalent types of skin damage (rhytides, solar elastosis effects, hyperpigmentation, acne scars, dyschromias, melasma, stria distensae) manifest common histologic and ultrastructural characteristics, which in particular include disorganized and thinner collagen aggregates, abnormalities in elastic fibers, and abnormal fibroblasts, melanocytes and keratinocytes that disrupt the normal architecture of the dermal layers. It is well recognized that there will be a clinical improvement in the condition and appearance of a patient's skin when a more normal architecture is regenerated by the body's wound-healing response. Of more significance to a clinical improvement is skin is the creation of more dense parallel collagen aggregates with decreased periodicity (spacing between fibrils). The body's wound-healing response is responsible for synthesis of these collagen aggregates. In addition to the body's natural wound healing response, adjunct pharmaceutical treatments that are administered concurrent with, or following, a skin exfoliations can enhance the development of collagen aggregate to provide a more normal architecture in the skin—the result being a more youthful appearing skin.
The deeper skin resurfacing treatments, such as laser ablation, peels and mechanical dermabrasion have drawbacks. The treatments are best used for treatments of a patient's face and may not be suited for treating other portions of a patient's body. For example, laser resurfacing of a patient's neck or d�colletage may result in post-treatment pigmentation disorders. All the deep resurfacing treatments are expensive, require anesthetics, and must be performed in a clinical setting. The most significant disadvantage associated with deep resurfacing treatments relates to the post-treatment recovery period. It may require up to several weeks or even months to fully recover and to allow the skin the form a new epidermal layer. During a period ranging from a few weeks to several weeks after a deep resurfacing treatment, the patient typically must wear heavy make-up to cover redness thus making the treatment acceptable only to women.
The superficial treatment offered by micro-dermabrasion has the advantage of being performed without anesthetics and requiring no extended post-treatment recovery period. However, micro-dermabrasion as currently practices also has several disadvantages. First, a micro-dermabrasion treatment is adapted only for a superficial exfoliation of a patient's epidermis which does not treat many forms of damage to skin. Further, the current micro-dermabrasion devices cause abrasive effects in a focused area of the skin that is very small, for example a few mm2, since all current devices use a single pin-hole orifice that jets air and abrasives to strike the skin in a highly focused area. Such a focused treatment area is suitable for superficial exfoliations when the working end of the device is passed over the skin in overlapping paths. Further, such focused energy delivery is not well suited for deeper skin removal where repeated passes may be necessary. Still further, current micro-dermabrasion devices are not suited for deeper skin removal due to the pain associated with deep abrasions. Other disadvantages of the current micro-dermabrasion devices relate to the aluminum oxide abrasive particles that are typically used. Aluminum oxide can contaminate the working environment and create a health hazard for operators and patients alike. Inhalation of aluminum oxide particles over time can result in serious respiratory disorders.
The present invention comprises a hand-held instrument adapted for pain-free removal of skin layers in a treatment to induce neocollagenesis in the dermis to reduce wrinkles and alter the architecture of the dermal layers. A preferred embodiment of the inventive system comprises (i) a hand-held instrument with a resilient working skin interface that carriers microscopic diamond fragments for abrading the skin surface in a controlled manner, (ii) a fluid source for supplying sterile fluids to the skin interface for cleaning skin debris from the skin interface; and (iii) a negative (−) pressure source for pulling fluid to the skin interface and thereafter aspirating fluid and skin debris from a treatment site.
More in particular, the working end that carries the resilient skin interface and sharp-edged diamond fragments is detachable from an intermediate instrument body and is inexpensive and disposable after being used for a single treatment. A preferred embodiment of hand-held instruments has a cartridge-type fluid reservoir that is detachable from the intermediate body section and is disposable. The working end defines a skin interface that engages and cuts or abrades the skin as it is translated across a treatment site. A preferred working end has a central channel and outflow aperture that communicates with a remote negative pressure source via a flexible tube. The skin interface is configured with a plurality of fluid inflow apertures generally about a perimeter of the skin interface. Preferably, the inflow apertures are located within a groove structure that allows substantial volume of fluid to be carried within the grooves and in contact with the treatment site. Intermediate to the arrangement of inflow and outflow apertures is a major portion of the skin interface that carries the diamond fragments, which range in diameter from about 10 μm to about 250 μm.
Of particular interest, the skin surface is formed of a resilient material such as silicone to allow the working end to flex and atraumatically engage the skin surface as it is translated across a treatment site. Also of particular interest, the suspension of the diamond fragments in resilient silicone seems to allow a slight movement or adjustment of the diamond fragments as the diamond abrasive architecture is translated over skin. In other words, the diamond fragments float to a some extent as they cut the skin surface and patients report that skin layer removals to a significant depth can be accomplished substantially without pain.
The aspiration source of the inventive system has multiple functions: (i) to draw the skin surface into a concave form of the skin interface and the diamond cutting architecture to perform the method of removing skin surface layers; (ii) to draw a sterile fluid across the diamond architecture to remove skin debris from the skin interface; and (iii) to further aspirate the skin debris and spent fluid volume to a remote collection reservoir.
In practicing a method of the invention, the following steps are performed, the system operator (i) places the skin interface carrying the abrasive architecture against the patient's skin in a treatment site; (ii) actuates a negative pressurization source in fluid communication an arrangement of apertures in the skin interface to draw the skin into a concavity of the skin interface and against the abrasive architecture; (iii) translates the abrasive architecture across the treatment site to cut or abrade a skin surface layer; and (iv) contemporaneous with the cutting step, flowing a fluid (e.g., sterile water) generally about and across the abrasive architecture between the arrangement of inflow and outflow apertures in the skin interface under the negative pressures forces to (A) remove the skin debris and clean abrasive architecture; (B) to hydrate the skin to facilitate surface layer cutting, and (C) to cool the skin to make the skin treatment more pain-free.

1. Type "A" Skin Treatment System. FIGS. 2A-2B illustrate an exemplary instrument system 5 that is designed for atraumatic removal of skin layers in a skin resurfacing or rejuvenation treatment. This embodiment of instrument system 5 comprises (i) a hand-held instrument 18 with a removable working end portion 20; (ii) a fluid source or reservoir 30 for supplying fluids to the working end 20; and (iii) a negative (−) pressure source (or aspiration source) indicated at 40 that aspirates fluid and skin debris from a treatment site TS on the patient's skin.
FIG. 2A shows that the working end 20 is carried by, and preferably but optionally detachable from, an intermediate body section indicated at 42. This embodiment has fluid reservoir indicated at 30 that also is detachably coupled to body section 42. This instrument body 18 is adapted to use a detachable ergonomic handle portion 43 that has mating ribs 44 a that cooperate with notches 44 b in body section 42. In this preferred embodiment, the reservoir 30 carrying a fluid F is a disposable cartridge that may be fitted to body section 42 with a breakable seal 46 and male and female fittings 47 a and 47 b as are known in the art (see FIG. 2B). The working end 20 described below also is detachable, inexpensive and disposable.
More in particular, referring to FIG. 3, the working end 20 defines a skin interface surface portion indicated at 45 that is adapted to engage the skin surfaces as the working end is translated across a patient's skin. In this embodiment, the skin interface 45 comprises the distal-facing surface region of the working end that is within the concave form 48 of working end 20. In this exemplary embodiment, the skin interface 45 transitions into an opening portion 50 generally centrally located in the working end. The opening 50 communicates with an interior passageway 51 that extends through body section 42 and further communicate with flexible tubing 52 that extends to the remote negative (−) pressure source 40 (see FIG. 2B). In this embodiment, there are a plurality of inflow apertures 54 generally about a perimeter of the skin interface that are in fluid communication with the fluid reservoir 30 as will be described further below.
Of particular interest, referring to FIG. 3, the skin interface 45 and optionally the entire working end 20 is formed of any suitable resilient material to allow the working end and skin interface 45 to flex and bend to atraumatically engage the skin surface as the working end is translated across a treatment site. It has been found that silicone is an ideal material that flexes desirably as described below in a method of the invention.
Also of particular interest to the invention, referring to FIGS. 4 and 5, the skin interface 45 carries a diamond dust, fragment or particulate composition indicated at 55. A natural diamond fragment composition 55 has been found to have very sharp projecting points, edges and apices 57 that create an abrasive architecture that is well adapted to remove skin surface layers as the interface 45 carrying the diamond fragments is moved across a treatment site. Further, it has been found that spaces indicated at 58 between the diamond apices 57 will not tend to collect skin detritus when a fluid F (e.g., sterile water) generally flows across and about the skin interface 45 under the force of negative pressure from the aspiration source 40. It is believed that such removed skin particles or skin detritus do not adhere about the abrasive architecture of the skin interface 45 due to the fact that (i) the facets 59 of the diamond particles are very smooth and resist tissue adherence, and (ii) that the resilient material carrying the diamond fragments (e.g., silicone) is naturally lubricious and non-stick thus resisting any clogging of the spaces in the architecture of the skin interface 45. The ability of the fluid flow across the skin interface to remove skin detritus to the interior opening 50 for aspiration to a collection reservoir is very important for performing the method of the invention. As will be described below, the working end is passed over patient's skin in numerous paths, and the skin interface 45 must be continually free of detritus to allow a predictable level of skin surface removal during each portion of the working end's translation over a treatment site. It has been found that diamond fragments ranging in size from about 10 μm to 250 μm in maximum cross-sectional dimension may be used in the skin interface to remove tissue. The different sizes of fragments cause very different characteristics in skin surface removal, and it has been found that different skin types and different desired depths of skin surface removal can be optimized by using a selected size of diamond fragment. For a thin, sensitive skin and a thin layer removal, preferably, the diamond crystals are from about 10 μm to about 50 μm in maximum cross-sectional dimension. For a thicker skin, or oily skin, and for a deeper layer removal, preferably, the diamond crystals are from about 30 μm to about 100 μm in maximum cross-sectional dimension.
Since each range of dimensions of the diamond fragments produces a differing ability to cut skin surface layers, another feature of the invention is to provide color coding to different working ends 20 that carry different dimensions of diamond fragments. It is believed that three to six colors may be appropriate for different ranges of cutting ability. In this embodiment, the molded silicone of the skin interface can be colored. A preferred method has been developed for partially embedding the diamond fragments 55 in the skin interface which comprises distributing a very thin, dispersed layer of the fragments in an injection mold and thereafter introducing silicone into the mold. By using a selected viscosity of introduced silicone and a selected dispersion of the fragments in the mold, the silicone will form and set about the fragments 55 as generally indicated in FIG. 5.
As shown in FIGS. 3-4, in this embodiment, the skin interface 45 defines an x-axis (X) and a y-axis (Y) wherein the direction of movement of the working end across a treatment site is generally in a direction along the x-axis as the operator sweeps the skin interface over the treatment site. The skin interface 45 has an overall transverse or x-axis dimension is from about 5.0 mm. to about 40.0 mm. with a larger dimensioned end being adapted for treating a larger skin area (e.g., arms, back, legs and d�colletage). A typical x-axis dimension is from about 5.0 mm. to 15.0 mm. for a skin treatment site area TS around a patient's face. The dimension across the y-axis of the skin interface 45 may also be from about 5.0 mm. to about 40.0 mm. with the relation between the y-axis and x-axis being from 1:1 to about 3:1. In a preferred embodiment, the ratio y-axis/x-axis ratio is from about 1:1 (as is a round working end) to about 2:1 as shown in the plan shape of FIG. 3 or in an oval plan shape. The surface area of the skin interface 45 (e.g., in mm.2) about opening 50 may be from about 5.0 mm.2 to about 100.0 mm.2 to remove skin surface layers efficiently. It has been found that the shape of the concave form 48 of the working end is very important for the practice of the method and the depth C of the concavity may range from about 0.5 mm. to about 10.0 mm. depending on the overall dimensions across the working end (see FIG. 4).
As can be seen in FIGS. 3-4, in this embodiment, the fluid inflow apertures 54 are located in one or more generally circumferential recessed portions or grooves 60 a-60 n in the skin interface 45 generally around opening 50. As can be understood easily, the negative pressure source 40 will draw fluid F into the concave form 48 of the working end when a perimeter 62 of the working end is pressed against a skin surface. It is desirable to have a suitable flow of fluid F generally across the opposing sides of the skin interface and into opening 50. It has been found that recesses or grooves 60 a-60 n of a selected dimension desirably maintain a ready amount of fluid F therein as the skin interface is moved over the skin. FIG. 6 shows a slightly different embodiment configured with two recesses or grooves 60 a and 60 b. FIG. 7 shows another slightly different embodiment with a plurality of inflow apertures 63 a about a perimeter 62 of the working end without any substantial recesses or grooves but the apertures widening at their open distal termination indicated at 63 b. It should be appreciated that the working end may be configured with micro-porosities (not shown) about the skin interface to serve as fluid inflow apertures 54 and fall within the scope of the invention. The optional grooves 60 a-60 n shown in FIGS. 3-4 are deep enough (having dimension D1 in FIGS. 4 & 8A) so that the skin surface 66 can not be drawn entirely into the recess thus allowing the recess to be maintained with fluid therein during a treatment. It also has been found that generally radial recessed portions 64 a-64 n are useful for directing the flow of fluid F toward opening 50. The radial recessed portions or grooves 64 a-64 n have a depth D2 shown in FIGS. 8A-8B that is generally shallower than the depth of grooves 60 a-60 n. By the term radial, it is meant that the recessed portions may extend directly toward opening 50 or at an angle relative to opening 50 and collectively, some of such grooves will generally be angled relative to the direction of translation of the workin. As shown in FIG. 8B, it is believed that the skin surface 66 will be slightly pulled into a groove 64 a as the skin interface moves across skin and the fluid F within and about the groove will assist in removing skin detritus SD from the treatment site and be aspirated into central opening 50. The radial recessed portions or grooves 64 a-64 n may extend partly toward to central recess and opening 50 as shown in FIG. 3 or entirely to the central opening as shown in the alternative working end embodiment of FIG. 9.
Referring again to FIG. 4, it can be seen that working end 20 is detachable from body 42 by means of a male and female fitting. Working end 20 has a female or recessed portion 67 that sealably mates with the projecting portion 68 of body portion 42. Since working end 20 is of resilient material, the wall portion 69 of the working end 20 can be stretched and lip portion 72 a locks into annular groove 73 of the body 42 to form a fluid-tight seal. The opening 50 of the working end 20 is then in alignment with interior passageway 51 of body 42. Likewise, the apertures 54 transition into an system of interior fluid flow channels 74 a in the working end 20 that align with similar channels 74 b in body 42 that communicate with fluid reservoir 30.
In the exemplary system, the aspiration source 40 thus has multiple simultaneous functions: (i) to draw the skin surface into the concave form 48 of working end 20 and more particularly against the skin interface 45 and diamond abrasive architecture to perform the method of removing skin surface layers; (ii) to draw a fluid F across the skin interface 45 diamond abrasive architecture 55 to remove and clean skin debris from the skin interface; and (iii) to further aspirate the skin debris and fluid volume F to a remote collection reservoir 75. Besides these functions, it has been found that patients find the fluid F to have a desirable cooling and hydrating effect (when compared to prior art high-velocity air-driven particle skin abrasion methods). The aspiration source or negative (−) pressurization source 40 may be any suitable vacuum source known in the art. The reservoir 30 is vented as is known in the art. Between the aspiration source 40 and the remote collection reservoir 75 is a filter 76 subsystem that is known in the art for collecting aspirated skin debris and fluid. The collection reservoir 75 and filter 76 are preferably of inexpensive plastic and other materials that are disposable.
The aspiration source 40 is preferably provided with a controller 80 and adjustable valve means 82 for adjusting the pressure level setting to any suitable range. The system operator will learn from experience how to balance the pressure level to attain the desired level of suction against the patient's skin. A trigger or switch component 78 is provided as a foot-switch (FIG. 2A) but any suitable finger switch in body 18 also may be used.
2. Practice of the Method of the Invention. Turning again to FIGS. 8A-8B, a sectional view of working end 20 shows the technique of the present invention in abrasive removal of skin surface layers. FIG. 8A shows the working end 20 after actuation of the negative (−) pressure source 40 with the skin surface 66 initially being drawn into the concave form 48 of the working end. The operating negative pressures may be in any suitable range that is determined by investigation. The flexibility of the resilient material of the working end allows the perimeter 62 of the working end to flex slightly to conform to the skin surface. It has been found by experimentation that optimal pressure levels vary greatly depending on (i) the type of skin targeted for treatment, (ii) the dimensions across the working end, and (iii) the dimensions of opening 50.
Next, the operator moves the skin interface 45 across a treatment site TS which is a path on the patient's skin while still actuating the trigger 78 thereby maintaining the negative pressure environment in the concavity 48 and opening 50. The sideways or generally lateral movement of the skin interface 45 allows the diamond architecture 55 to abrade the surface layers. Referring to FIG. 8B, the shallow radial groove 64 a generally has a flow of fluid F (in the direction of arrows) therethrough which carries skin debris SD and fluid F to the opening 50 for aspiration to the collection reservoir 75. The translation of the skin interface 45 over the treatment site TS allows an abrasion and removal of the skin surface in a controllable manner. p It has been discovered that patients find the skin surface removal techniques disclosed herein to be substantially painless for limited depth surface removal. It has further been found that deeper skin surface removed procedures with the resilient working end 20 is substantially pain-free, particularly when compared to prior at skin removal methods for a similar depth treatment. It is believed that an important novel aspect of the invention is the suspension of the diamond fragments 55 in a resilient substrate such as silicone. It is postulated that the slight movement or adjustment of individual diamond fragments 55 of the diamond abrasive architecture in the resilient substrate as the skin interface 45 is translated over skin allows the diamonds to float to a slight extend and cut the skin surface in an atraumatic manner.
The negative pressure environment within the working end causes the fluid F and skin debris SD to be entrained in an air volume to be drawn through passageway 51 to the collection reservoir 75. After translating the working end over a treatment site, the operator may release trigger 78 to easily lift the working end from the patient's skin or simply reverse the movement of the device. The treated path can be easily seen and the operator then can remove skin layers in another slightly overlapping or adjacent path by repeating the above steps until surface removal is completed over the targeted treatment area. Following a treatment, of preferably a series of treatments over time, new skin surface layers including increased collagen aggregation in the papillary dermis will occur to provide a rejuvenated skin texture.
Specific features of the invention may be shown in some figures and not in others, and this is for convenience only and any features may be combined with another in accordance with the invention. While the principles of the invention have been made clear in the exemplary embodiments, it will be obvious to those skilled in the art that modifications of the structure, arrangement, proportions, elements, and materials may be utilized in the practice of the invention, and otherwise, which are particularly adapted to specific environments and operative requirements without departing from the principles of the invention. The appended claims are intended to cover and embrace any and all such modifications, with the limits only of the true purview, spirit and scope of the invention.

Dutch Oven Potatoes Recipe Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F. Use a 8 by 8 inch baking dish or one of similar size, and butter the bottom and sides with 1 tablespoon butter. Wash potatoes and thinly slice them, using a mandolin, to approximately 1/16 inch thick. Layer 1/5 of the sliced potatoes into the baking dish, making 2 thin layers of potatoes overlapping. Sprinkle with 2 teaspoons of the Parmesan cheese. Top with 1/2 cup fruit, salt, pepper and 1/2 cup cream. Repeat this step 4 more times, ending with the potatoes. Top the potatoes with the remaining cream and the 3 tablespoons of the butter cut into small pieces. Sprinkle with the rest of the cheese.Cover the pan with foil and bake for 2 hours. Uncover the pan and bake for an additional 15 minutes until lightly browned the top. For a darker brown place the potatoes under the broiler for a few minutes. Remove the potatoes from the oven and let them sit for 15 minutes before serving. Cut into squares with a sharp knife.

Today I've combined two things I love, polymer clay which I haven't used since I was about 8 and always l.o.v.e.d & French macarons, possibly one of my favorite things to eat/make/look at.
I'm currently on a healthy eating stint which unfortunately knocks macarons and McDonald's apple & blackberry pies (which if you haven't tried DO IT! Best 79p ever spent!) off the menu. Only one thing to do then, make some fake ones and stick em' on a keyring!
I have to say, i'm now a little bit obsessed with making these as they are so cute! I am also FULLY enjoying the whole Fimo experience so you will be seeing some more tutorials featuring it in the future!
You'll Need:
2 packets of Fimo soft (My white is Premo! Sculpey which is the same thing)
Keyring chain
UHU glue
4mm eye pin
4mm jump ring
2mm flat back rhinestones

Manufacturer's Disclaimer
Accidental overdose of iron containing products is a leading cause of fatal poisoning in children under age six. In case of accidental overdose, call a physician or Poison Control center immediately.
This supplement appears to have it all, because no matter how hard I work out I recover quickly. Even on occasions where I havent taken them for several days, energy increase within 60 minutes. Definitely recommend for women or men
It is a basic multi-vitamin pack I like and have used it for at least 10 years. It has everything I need. I recently was asked by a doctor to take another vitamin specific to my eyes and when I reviewed the contents, I already had been taking all of them. The only thing missing, which I did add, was fish oil. Great pack!!! Especially if you are active!

Smoke Goes Stale in NYC
Record-high tobacco taxes snuff sales.
NEW YORK -- Cigarette sales in New York City have been cut in half since July last year, largely due to a dramatic tax increase that pushed retail prices of a pack of premium cigarettes to more than $7.
New Yorkers bought 15.6 million cigarette packs last month, down from 29.2 million packs in July 2001, the Associated Press reported Tuesday. But because the city tax was much higher, revenue more than quintupled, from $2.3 million to $12.3 million.
The new tax -- $1.50 per pack -- which Mayor Michael Bloomberg supported to help close a record budget gap, spiked the price of some premium brands to more than $7 per pack. According to the Associated Press, there were no studies yet to determine whether city dwellers are quitting smoking or perhaps buying product outside New York City.
One city resident, however, told CSNews Online that his efforts to quit smoking are purely cost-motivated. "We can't afford it -- it's $50 a week if you buy a pack a day."
"The mayor has said that, for the city, he hopes that the revenue on the cigarette tax goes to zero because that would mean no one is smoking," said Bloomberg spokesman Jordan Barowitz. "As for the state, any decreases in revenue the state might see would be offset by significantly lower health-care costs the state would be responsible for because of the costs of smoking-related illnesses."
