Almost all of Broad Green is to fall under a dispersal order to give police power to banish "intimidating" youths from the area.
A six-month order will target key roads and hubs including London Road and West Croydon station in response to concerns raised by residents.
The order, imposed a partnership of council and police, allows officers to move on groups of people deemed to be behaving antisocially and prevent them returning for 24 hours.
Anywhere within the map above will be covered by the dispersal order
Councillor Simon Hoar, Croydon Council's cabinet member for community safety, said: "We know the public have been intimidated and harassed as a result of antisocial behaviour.
"This dispersal order will enable the police to tackle this persistent problem and help this community to feel safer. "
Sergeant Steve Ribano, leader of the Broad Green policing team, said: "People are concerned about street drinking in London Road and young people causing nuisance on the Tamworth Road estate.
"There are also concerns about antisocial behaviour around the transport hubs at West Croydon bus and railway stations. This dispersal order will help us to deal with this."
Coun Stuart Collins, a councillor for Broad Green, said he would back the dispersal zone as long as it was enforced fairly.
He said: "We are not trying to demonise young people, but historically there have been problems with gangs along London Road and there are always residents that say they feel a bit intimidated.
"If the police and the community want the dispersal order then we should support. If it makes the area safer, then I can't really see any objection - providing it is conducted fairly and in accordance with the laws."
The areas covered by the order, which will run until July 12, are:
- London Road from the junction of Galpin's Road and Warwick Road, to the junction of Oakfield Road
- Galpin's Road to the junction of Silverleigh Road
- Warwick Road to the junction Goston Gardens
- Thornton Road
- Croydon Cemetery
- Wingate Crescent
- Moys Close
- Aurelia Road
- Brading Road
- Sumner Road

IV and V is shown a modification eye 5, of a little smaller diameter, .and makof the invention, in which the cam-lever is ing the rod 9 a little longer than the hole of pivoted in the shank at a point nearer the largest diameter. I then insert a shoe, 10, shoe 10, and whose end, extending through a hole in the shank for a short distance in from each side of the shank, has a bearing at 13 in said hole, and forms the pivot on which the lever turns. A portion of this pivot end of the lever is made eccentric opposite the inner end of the shoe at 14, the latter being made as hereinbefore described, and as shown in Figs. I and II, and being prevented from dropping out of place by the pin 20, as before mentioned. In this modification, Vwhen the lever is moved into a position extending in the opposite di rection from that shown in Fig. IV, the shoe l() may be forced in toward the eccentric end of the lever, and the stock may then be placed in the eye 5 and the screw t turned in against it, and when the lever is turned into the position shown in black lines in Fig. IV the shoe will be forced more firmly against the stock and the latter be secured to be operated upon in the lathe. In this modication the arm of the dog, by which it is secured in the face-plate of the lathe, is made solid, as shown at 1.5 in Figs. IV and V.
Although the head of the screw 4 is inade prisniatic, or four-sided, as shown in the drawings, in order that a wrench may be used, if desired, this feature is not essential, because one of the objects of the invention is to dispense with the necessity of using a wrench in securing work in and removing it from the dog. The wrench is often mislaid, and no inconsiderable amount of time is often wasted by aworkmau in looking for a misplaced wrench with which to secure the stock in or remove it from the dog. By the use of this invention it is quickly and easily secured or removed by the fingers, and entirely without any necessity of using a wrench.
'That part'of thc'device'which is provided with a Vshapcd groove, and against which the stock has a bearing when secured in the dog, I denominate the shoe,7 whether it extends entirely through or only partially through the shank in a longitudinal direction, and whether made in one piece or two. rIhe only advantage of making the shoe in two parts is that in dogs ofthe smaller sizes the shoe, if made in a singie piece, would have to be insert-ed into its socket from the end where the lever 2 is pivoted to the shank, and the grooved end of the shoe could not be of larger diameter than the socket itself. Therefore a larger bearing at the grooved end of the shoe may be obtained by making the shoe in two parts and inserting the shorter part into its socket from the eye of the dog, and the other part from the other end, and forcing them together. In larger dogs, for heavy work, however, Where the shank is made larger, a suiiciently large bearing at the grooved end of the shoe may he obtained by making it in a single piece and inserting into the socket at the end in which the lever 2 is pivoted, as shown in Fig. III.
Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new is# In an improved lathe-dog, the combination of an adjusting-screw turned into one end of the dog, with its threaded end proj ectinginto the eye or opening which receives the work, a movable shoe located in asocket on the other side of the eye, and a cam-lever pivoted in the shank to force said shoe toward the adjustingscrew, substantially as described.

Rapid Antidepressant Effects of Ketamine in Major Depression
- Full Text View
- Tabular View

- How to Read a Study Record
This study examines whether Ketamine can cause a rapid-next day antidepressant effect in patients with Major Depression/Bipolar Disorder .
Purpose: This study will test whether a single dose of ketamine - a drug that blocks a brain receptor called NMDA - can cause a rapid (next day) antidepressant effect in patients with major depression. Several medications are effective for treating depression; however, they take weeks or months to achieve their full effects. A more rapidly acting antidepressant would have a significant impact on the treatment of depression. In a previous study, ketamine produced a rapid antidepressant effect within hours, but the effect lasted less than 1 week. Understanding how ketamine works may lead to a better understanding of the causes of depression and the design of a longer lasting rapidly acting antidepressant.Patients between 18 and 65 years of age who are currently experiencing an episode of major depression of at least 4 weeks duration and have not responded to two treatment trials may be eligible for this study. Candidates are screened with a medical and psychiatric history, physical examination, and blood and urine tests.Participants undergo the following tests and procedures:Medication tapering: Patients who are taking medications for depression are tapered off the drugs over a 1- to 2-week period. Ketamine/placebo trial: Patients are given a single dose of either ketamine or placebo (an inactive substance), administered intravenously (through a vein) over 40 minutes. After 7 days, patients are given another dose of study drug in crossover fashion; that is, those who previously took ketamine are switched to receive placebo, and those who took placebo are switched to ketamine. Oximetry (measurement of blood oxygen), pulse, and blood pressure are measured continuously for 1 hour before and 4 hours after each ketamine or placebo dose to monitor safety. Interviews and rating scales: Patients complete a series of psychiatric rating scales to assess the effects of the study drug on mood and thinking. The rating scales are repeated up to 18 times during the study, with each time taking about 15 to 20 minutes. Physical examination and laboratory tests: Patients have a physical examination, blood tests, weight measure, and electrocardiogram (ECG) at the beginning and end of the study.

Detailed Description:
Bipolar affective disorder (manic-depressive illness) and unipolar depression are common,
severe, chronic and often life-threatening illnesses. Impairment in physical and social functioning resulting from depression can be just as severe as other chronic medical illnesses. Recent preclinical and clinical studies suggest that the glutamatergic system is involved in the mechanism of action of antidepressants. In two separate trials, we tested riluzole (an inhibitor of glutamate release) and found it to have antidepressant properties in patients with unipolar and bipolar depression (Zarate et al. 2004, 2005). In another study, we found that the non-competitive NMDA antagonist (ketamine) was effective in treatment-resistant major depression. Ketamine resulted in rapid, robust and relatively sustained antidepressant effects. Response with ketamine occurred within 2 hours and last approximately 1 week (Zarate et al in 2006). The current protocol consists of 6 studies designed to address 6 major questions. Two of these studies (1 and 5) have met their enrollment quota and sufficient analyzable data has been obtained.
Study 1 (Rapid improvement research in unipolar depression)
Does the NMDA antagonist ketamine produce rapid antidepressant effects in patients with treatment-resistant major depression? Patients, ages 18 to 65 years with treatment-resistant major (unipolar) depression will in a double-blind crossover study receive either intravenous ketamine or saline solution (Study completed).
Study 2 (Rapid improvement research in bipolar depression)
Does the NMDA antagonist ketamine produce rapid antidepressant effects in patients with treatment-resistant bipolar depression? Patients, ages 18 to 65 years with treatment-resistant
bipolar depression will in a double-blind crossover study receive either intravenous ketamine or saline solution added to a mood stabilizer (lithium or valproate).
Study 3 (Rapid and sustained improvement research in unipolar depression)
Does riluzole (an inhibitor of glutamate release) prevent relapse in patients with treatment-resistant major depression who have rapidly responded to a single intravenous dose of ketamine? Patients, ages 18 to 65 years, with treatment-resistant major (unipolar) depression who have rapidly responded to a single intravenous dose of ketamine will in a double-blind study receive either riluzole or placebo to determine if the rapid response obtained can be sustained.
Substudy 4 (Predictors and neural correlates of antidepressant response to ketamine)
What are the predictors and neural correlates of antidepressant response to ketamine? Patients, ages 18 to 55 years with treatment-resistant MDD and BD will, in a double-blind crossover study, receive either intravenous ketamine or saline solution and multimodal MRI, MEG and polysomnography.
Our primary hypotheses for these studies are: 1) rapid response (same or next day) can be
achieved in patients with treatment-resistant major (unipolar) depression, 2) rapid response (same or next day) can be achieved in patients with treatment-resistant bipolar depression, 3) rapid response (same or next day) can be sustained in patients with treatment-resistant unipolar depression, and 4) predictors and neural correlates of antidepressant response to ketamine can be identified.
Substudy 5 (Neurophysiological Mechanisms of Rapid Antidepressant Response to Ketamine)
Will activity of glutamatergic circuits within the brain change following the onset of ketamine-induced antidepressant effects help predict response to ketamine? Drug-free bipolar and unipolar patients participating in Substudies 2 and 3 will undergo PET scans before and 2-hours following drug infusion (consistent with the timing of onset of antidepressant effects). (Study completed)
Substudy 6 (Role of Glutamatergic and GABAergic systems in treatment response to ketamine/riluzole)
Will subjects with treatment-resistant major depression who receive ketamine followed by riluzole show a greater increase in the concentration of GABA, glutamate, glutamine and NAA compared to subjects randomized to placebo? Unipolar patients participating in Substudy 3 will have 1H-MRS scans immediately before both infusions (ketamine, placebo) and at the end of each experimental phase.
|Ages Eligible for Study:
|18 Years to 65 Years
|Genders Eligible for Study:
|Accepts Healthy Volunteers:
Male and female patients, ages 18 to 55 years with a diagnosis of MDD, currently depressed or in a current major depressive episode of BD without psychotic features will be recruited into this substudy. In addition, healthy volunteers will also be recruited into this substudy.
The proportion of ethnic minorities (vs. Caucasian) in the total sample will be consistent with the ethnic/racial proportions of the Washington D.C. and Montgomery county areas. We appreciate that minority groups tend to be underrepresented in research samples for mood disorders. Therefore, we make every effort to recruit minority patients, in order to ensure that the subject sample represents the community. Although it is not known whether racial differences will affect responses to pharmacotherapy, Substudy 4 will assess such effects; however, the size of the racial subsamples may be too small to identify statistically meaningful differences.
Male or female subjects, 18 to 55 years of age.
Age of onset less than 40 years of age.
Female subjects of childbearing age must be using a medically accepted method of contraception.
Each subject must have a level of understanding sufficient to agree to all required tests and examinations and sign an informed consent document.
Subjects must fulfill DSM-IV criteria for Major Depression single episode or recurrent without psychotic features, or Bipolar Disorder (296.5 for Bipolar I Disorder or 296.89 for Bipolar II Disorder) without psychotic symptoms based on clinical assessment and confirmed by a structured diagnostic interview (SCID-P).
Subjects must have an initial score on the MADRS of at least 20 at screening, and at baseline for Phase I of Substudy 4.
Current or past history of lack of response to one adequate antidepressant trial, operationally defined using the Antidepressant Treatment History Form (ATHF); a failed adequate trial of ECT would count as an adequate antidepressant trial.
Current major depressive episode of at least 4 weeks duration.
In women of childbearing age, a negative pregnancy test within 24 hours of MRI.
Current psychotic features or a diagnosis of Schizophrenia or any other psychotic disorder as defined in the DSM-IV.
Subjects with a history of DSM-IV drug or alcohol dependency or abuse (except for caffeine or nicotine dependence) within the preceding 3 months. In addition, subjects who currently are using drugs (except for caffeine or nicotine) must not have used illicit substances in the 2 weeks prior to screen and must have a negative alcohol and drug urine test (except for prescribed benzodiazepines) urine test at screening.
Female subjects who are either pregnant or nursing.
Serious, unstable illnesses including hepatic, renal, gastroenterologic, respiratory, cardiovascular (including ischemic heart disease), endocrinologic, neurologic, immunologic, or hematologic disease.
Presence of any medical illness likely to alter brain morphology and/or physiology (e.g., hypertension, diabetes) even if controlled by medications.
Clinically significant abnormal laboratory tests.
Subjects with clinical hypothyroidism or hyperthyroidism.
Subjects with one or more seizures without a clear and resolved etiology.
Treatment with a reversible MAOI within two weeks prior to Phase I of Substudy 4.

Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid al Maktoum
The Ruler of Dubai is a popular man at home and abroad. Here are some of his more interesting connections, from a champion jockey to a Geordie schoolteacher.
July 22, 2010 4:29 by kippreport
As Ruler of Dubai, Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid al Maktoum has a global profile consummate with that of the leader of an emerging world power. Because – regardless of what is said of Dubai's recent economic difficulties – it remains the financial capital of the region and a vital economic bridge between the declining west and the emerging east.
The Sheikh came to power in 2006, succeeding his elder brother (he is the third son of four). Educated mainly in Dubai, he also studied in England at Bell School of Languages in Cambridge. A major figure on the international horseracing scene, he is also noted for his vast charitable donations.
Dubai's leader is widely credited with being the driving force behind the emirate's rapid growth and development, and has been personally behind major projects such as the world famous Burj Al Arab hotel.

Summerfest brings diverse music to Milwaukee
Milwaukee might not be known as the music capital of the Midwest, but from June 26 to July 6 it certainly held this title. Summerfest, the citys annual mega music festival, drew thousands of concertgoers to Milwaukees lakefront.
I made the trip up north on July 3 to see just what The Big Gig (the events official nickname) had to offer. The expansive grounds featured a number of stages representing every genre of music.
Cover bands were the main attraction in the early afternoon. Exhibit A entertained curious onlookers with its renditions of current songs like Coldplays Clocks and older favorites including Cheap Tricks I Want You To Want Me.
Many talented, but lesser-known bands performed throughout the day. At 6:30 California-based, Smile Empty Soul took the rock stage. This introspective three piece hard rock act quickly won over a mostly college-age audience.
Another impressive group was Franky Perez and the Highway Saints. They played two energetic sets packed with an interesting mix of folk, rock, and blues material. Charismatic frontman Perez sounded the best on the acoustic strummer, Something Crazy and his version of the Allman Brothers blues classic, Whipping Post.
At 10 p.m., headliner Jonny Lang was greeted by an already frenzied crowd (partially thanks to the abundance of sponsor, Miller Lite beer tents). The 22-year-old blues/rock virtuoso played several songs off his older albums including the pool hall anthem Rack Em Up from his 1997 release, Lie To Me. He also performed Still Rainin off his last album, Wander This World. This darker track spotlighted Langs emotional and often feverish guitar playing. The large and enthusiastic crowd sang along to almost every song, while dancing on top of benches around the stage. Lang also gave fans a sneak peak to his next CD (to be released in September), with the bittersweet acoustic ballad, Irish Angel.
After spending 10 hours at Summerfest, I was a bit tired but already planning to go back again. Make sure to check it out next year. With the wide range of musical styles featured, its doubtful that anyone could leave disappointed.

Now I got the gun - you got the brew
You got two choices of what you can do
It's not a tough decision as you can see
I can blow you away or you can ride with me
from Beastie Boys – Paul Revere Lyrics on Genius
Despite what Ad-Rock thinks, its clear that the one with the gun has the upper hand here. However, it seems like MCA is also lonely riding alone, and offers an invitation to join his one-man wolfpack instead of just shooting him. Which was nice.

You're still my No.1: England boss Roy Hodgson sticks with Joe Hart
Published: 03 October 2013
Updated: 14:37, 03 October 2013
Roy Hodgson insisted today Joe Hart is still England's No1.
The goalkeeper gifted Bayern Munich two goals in Manchester City's 3-1 Champions League defeat last night and he has made other errors for both club and country this year.
England's World Cup fate will be decided in the next fortnight with qualifiers against Montenegro next Friday and Poland four days later and they lead Group H by just one point.
Hodgson announced his squad for those matches today and while he accepts Hart is not at his best, he is sure the 26-year-old will not let England down.
"I believe Joe will shrug this off," said the England coach. "I'm sure he's not happy with the criticism or the goals he thinks he should have stopped. This is a fact of life.
"He's never let me or the team down in my time here. I've every faith he'll have the confidence to put this behind him. Confidence improves with performances that give you rave reviews, not with criticism.
"He went through a bad period last night because he let in three and people are suggesting he should have saved two of them. But the five games previously he kept a clean sheet (ahead of Manchester United), and we've let in three goals in eight group games.
"We need experience, players who are tried and tested, players who play regularly at the very top level. If you look at the goalkeepers we have with those criteria, he's clearly No1."
When asked if he had no concerns about Hart's form, he added: "It depends what you mean about concerns. If I say 'no' I'll be accused of being blind to a situation that has developed. I'm not blind.
"I do realise this is not a good moment for Joe. He's a proud man and a very good goalkeeper, so when he's criticised he's very unhappy. But I still believe in Joe Hart. I strongly believe he won't let England down and he'll play well. I do care because I know Joe cares."
The squad includes strikers Wayne Rooney and Daniel Sturridge, who both missed last month's matches due to injury.
West Ham's Ravel Morrison has been included in the Under-21 squad for the matches against San Marino a week today and Lithuania the following Tuesday.
Meanwhile, less than an hour after being called up by Wales for their World Cup Gareth Bale pulled out of the squad with a thigh injury.
Bizarrely, when announcing his squad for the matches with Macedonia and Belgium, manager Chris Coleman's had already said the Real Madrid winger would not feature in either game.
"Stan Kroenke has offered him a new deal, so I'm sure he would want to sign a new contract; he loves his football and the club. He hasn't won a trophy in eight years but the club have stuck by him in that time and I think he will stay for a while yet."
Wright took time out to give some insight as to how important he feels fans are in a game, singling out away fans' role in helping the team to victory.
"I think you need to look over the last eight years and see that, in spite of there being no trophies; Arsenal's supporters have been unrelenting with their support. As a fan these days, when you go to an away game, you pay a lot of money and you might not see a win, but the fans turn up and that's important."
"[As a player] it does inspire you. I remember when I was playing for Arsenal away from home, and most of the time, you get picked on by the home fans. They boo you, jeer you, and so I think it's important to know you have a section of fans that will sing your name throughout the game. That's why when I scored, I always wanted to celebrate with them. That kind of passion is what football is all about. "
The England squad for the World Cup qualifiers against Montenegro and Poland is: Hart (Man City), Forster (Celtic), Ruddy (Norwich); Baines (Everton), Cahill (Chelsea), Cole (Chelsea), Jagielka (Everton), Jones (Man Utd), Smalling (Man Utd), Walker (Tottenham); Barkley (Everton), Carrick (Man Utd), Cleverley (Man Utd), Gerrard (Liverpool), Lampard (Chelsea), Milner (Man City), Townsend (Tottenham), Wilshere (Arsenal); Defoe (Tottenham), Lambert (Southampton), Rooney (Man Utd), Sturridge (Liverpool), Welbeck (Man Utd).

Was it the end of the controversy, or the beginning of a new chapter? When the Newlin Township (Chester County) Board of Supervisors voted unanimously on October 13 to adopt an ordinance regulating commercial equine operations, the jam-packed room erupted in a chorus of Shame on you! Shame! The ordinance requires any commercial equine facility to have a minimum of three acres for the first horse on the property and two acres for each additional horse (the three and two rule). Further, any facility hosting an event, such as a horse show, must provide off-street parking; and outdoor commercial activities will be limited to daylight hours.
The ordinance applies to all equine facilities, except private farms not providing lessons, boarding or training. It also does not apply to Pony Club or the Cheshire Hunt, both of which were operating in the area prior to 1980. A heated debate has consumed the equine community and its supporters for months now, since the supervisors began public discussion of the ordinance.

First half was a full 5 stars! I was on the edge of my seat. The choreography was stunning and fresh. Very immediate. Very now. The second half started out fresh and got slightly stale as it progressed. Three stars for the second half.

This was dance lost in a cacophony of well intended but trite spoken cliches that only served to detract. Dance suffers when production becomes more important than the product produced.

Robert Moses' Kin (RMK) today announces the company's 18th annual home season to feature the world premiere of NEVABAWARLDAPECE, a major collaborative project among Artistic Director Robert Moses, Obie and BESSIE award-winning writer and performer Carl Hancock Rux; Afro-Celtic, Folk-Funk, Hip-Appalachian vocalist Laura Love; MacArthur Fellow, blues musician, and composer Corey Harris; and former Meredith Monk lighting designer, Stanford faculty member, and visual designer Elaine Buckholtz. This power team of collaborators comes together to create NEVABAWARLDAPECE, a full-company work exploring critical moments of change in America's liberation movements, insurrections, and revolts.
From John Brown to today's populist Occupy movement, Moses and his collaborators will consider our nation's efforts toward humanistic transformation in the 19th century to today. Performances of NEVABAWARLDAPECE mark the first time all of these artist collaborators – Robert Moses Kin', Rux, Harris, and Love — will perform together live.

LOVE LOVE!! Noticed improved skin texture after first use. Skin felt smoother and felt sooo much cleaner. I used to get minor breakouts all the time (i.e. I always had like 1 or 2 pimples somewhere). Occasionally, they still come up but their occurrence has been reduced soo much. It also is good for taking makeup off completely. Before, even with makeup remover follower by cleanser, I could still see some makeup residue. Clarisonic cleans it right up. The Mia is also a nice small size, relatively easy to pack for travel. Sometimes if I'm only away for a long weekend, I won't pack the charger and just make sure I charge it beforehand and it'll last my entire trip.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I was a skeptic, yes I was. I eyed this product for awhile but was hesitant to purchase because..well it looks like a giant electronic toothbrush. But BOY, i'm glad i did! I have combination skin (more oily), a few dark acne scars medium size pores. I'm 22 but because of lack of sleep, i've been seeing very fine lines on the sides of my mouth and forehead.
I love the way clarsonic makes me feel like I actually removed ALL my foundation. This worked great for the fine lines! Seems to keep my oily-ness at bay throughout the day as well! My pores are significantly smaller and my makeup glides on in the morning :) At first, I did experience a small breakout...three small pimples but after one week, they're gone and my skin looks...CLEAN! I don't see any reduction for my dark acne spots but I didnt expect them to go right away. Hopefully, slowly but surely they'll go away :D Clarsonic is a MUST BUY for makeup wearers! LOVE LOVE LOVE!
I reserved my judgement on this product until I used it for a month, now that QVC had taken the 2nd EZ pay from my account, I think it's safe to review it. I finally bought the Mia when it went for 3 E-Z pays on QVC approximately a month ago. I had wanted one for quite some time after reading reviews on here and seeing how well it sold on QVC. First, let me say that I do see an improvement in my 46 year old face. However, there are no "miracles". I can see a definite improvement in texture and my makeup goes on much better. In terms of blackheads, age spots, etc. I find that blackheads are much lighter and also "purge" easier, they have not disappeared completely. I daresay they never will, but perhaps with continued use they may even become less noticeable. A light age spot on my one cheek seems to have lightened a bit, but it still remains.
I don't know if the earlier you start using this, the better results you get over time or not. I enjoy using this, it feels as if you are massaging your face. I use it with Cetaphil cleanser and the normal brush and have been using it nightly, although I may reduce to every other night as I seem to be feeling a slight sensitivity in my cheek areas.
I would recommend it to other MUAers experiencing skin issues as I do think it definitely helps. It is an investment in your skin and not one to be taken lightly. I would say to purchase from QVC, and wait for it as a TSV with E-Z pay. They usually do this 2-3 times a year, because it is such a popular product. As Christmas time is nearing I can almost predict between now (Oct.) and the end of the year they should have it on TSV at least one more time.

I've owned my Clarisonic Mia (pink) for about 3 months now. I looooove it and my only regret is that I didn't buy it sooner. I always watched, fascinated as they would fly out the door whenever presented on QVC or off the shelves of my fave beauty stores but wasn't sure if it was worth all the hype. So my sister & I each bought one and wow, I have to say that my skin has NEVER looked or felt cleaner and stays clear! It's amazing. I use mine with my favorite cleanser (usually Purpose Gentle Foaming Cleanser or Cetaphil daily cleanser and the results have been amazing. Having turned 30 last year (ahhhh, but hey, it happens to all of us & it's been fabulous so far) :) It's totally worth the price and I'm soooooo glad I went with the Mia over the full-size version because it's very easy to travel with (mine also came with 3 mini cleansers) and easy to charge and take in and out of the shower with me. I love it and couldn't be happier with it and my skin looks AMAZING and feels so good. My skin can be a little sensitive at times, but I actually prefer the normal brush vs. the sensitive. Which, by the way, the Mia uses the same brushes as the larger models. Love it, couldn't be happier. If you're thinking about it, go for it. For 1 minute in the shower or at the skin, this takes cleaning to a whole new level and feels amazing and it's worth every penny. You know you want one, go for it! :)
I have been using this every morning with my cream cleanser for 2 weeks now. There seems to be less blackheads on my nose but I have not really noticed any other differences to the condition of my skin. I still have visible pores on my cheeks and redness so I avoid going over the red areas of my cheeks or it irritates. I find my face to be feeling quite dry afterwards but that's just my skin reacting to the unusually long and cold winter where I am living, usually my skin is normal/dry but last few months my skin has been extra extra dry and flaky so I have been using new products to sort out my skin problems. The Mia comes with the sensitive brush head and I just ordered the replacement delicate brush head so hopefully that will suit my skin better and I will update my review when I have used the delicate brush head for a few weeks. At the moment I would not yet recommend my friends to purchase this product but I will keep using for a few more months and see how it goes! I choose to believe in the many positive MUA reviews so hopefully my skin will improve with sonic cleansing. The machine is best described as a giant electric toothbrush for the face...many expensive electric toothbrushes are also sonic powered =)

Okay, I will admit it first..I am 39. I have taken pretty good care of my skin since my 20's, but I had noticed that I was duller, with fine lines creeping in, the odd pimple here and there..after some research, I purchased the Mia. Not cheap, by any means, but if I am spending 90 bucks a month on Lancome skincare, this was a bargain, right?
All that considered, YES.
I have had teriffic results in a month. I had initial purging, but overall, my skin is brighter, more even-toned, and it's like a facial massage every night. My serums and creams soak in much better, and I have noticed not only an increase in luminosity, but my fine lines have softened. My hubs has even said he wants to try it, and that's pretty big, LOL. I agree with other reviewers- on young skin, maybe not as dramatic. On 35 or older, with the beginnings of wrinkles or sun damage- definitely worth a try!

I received my Clarisonic Mia about 3 weeks ago and I LOVE it!
I can already see the difference in my skin. My complexion looks clearer, and there are no more dry patches, so it is much easier to get a smooth makeup application. It looks balanced and healthy, and I haven't had any breakouts lately!
I also love the Gentle Hydro Cleanser that was included - it cleans my oily/combination skin with NO harsh detergents, leaving it feeling clean but not stripped dry, as many skin cleansers designed for my complexion type often do!
The sonic vibrations of the brush head feel soothing, and I love that the bristles come in different strengths for different skin types. I am using the Sensitive brush head, with the Gentle Hydro Cleanser.
I highly recommend the Clarisonic Mia!
I've had the Mia for 4 months now. I've never had any problems with my skin, but I'm a big believer in taking meticulous care of one's skin. I had been using Kirkland facial wipes to clean my face and I didn't expect to be able to remove any additional makeup. I was surprised that the Mia removed a little more makeup after using the wipes. So I still use the facial wipes and finish up with the Mia (and a mild cleanser that I purchased at Whole Foods). I had waited to write my review because I wasn't sure that the Mia was making a difference. However, I do think there's a subtle improvement in my skin. I had noticed on both sides of my face (on my cheeks - sort of near the ears) that the pores had become much more noticeable. No amount of washing or glycolic acid seemed to make a difference. Now after using the Mia for a few months, the pores are much less visible - I think the cleaning from the Mia is deeper and more thorough.
So, I would recommend this as an addition to one's cleaning routine. It's not absolutely essential, but I like it and am glad that I purchased it.
2 out of 3 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I have been using my mia for about 10 days now. It did break me out for the first few days. I was pretty worried and a bit scared but now my skin is liking it. It has made my skin clearer and smoother.
I still have blackheads on my nose but it's a lot less than before. I only use it once every evening. I tried to use it twice daily but it was a bit much for my sensitive skin. I am touching my face now. lol It feels very soft. :)
I will update again in a month or so. :)
5 Oct 2010: the weather is changing right now. I can't use it every night because it makes my cheeks feel very tight. I think I am going to use it 2 times a week or maybe once a week.
I purchased the Mia back in March, and overall I have seen an improvement in my skin (less breakouts, blackheads are easier to remove, skin is slightly brighter.) It really does take off makeup and remove impurities better than any product I have found. I have sensitive skin that unfortunately gets the occasional cyst, so I didn't use the cleansers that came with the Mia. I use another cleanser that I know works for my skin. I do love the way it lathers up! It is expensive, but if you have sensitive skin, I think that it is worth the money.

Shocker: One Million Moms Offended By New Ellen Ad
December 5, 2012 by HRC staff
Post submitted by Eric Cameron, HRC Digital Media Specialist
In case you thought they'd moved on, a recent email from One Million Moms reminds us that they're still angry about the Ellen thing:
A new JCP ad features Ellen and three elves. JCP has made their choice to offend a huge majority of their customers again. Christians must now vote with their wallets.
Do the people at OMM have any idea what a "huge majority" looks like? Has anyone told them that Ellen is one of television's most watched talk show hosts?
