Monday offered a glimpse of what the Mariners envisioned last winter when they put together their bullpen when the unit closed out 6-5 victory over the Colorado Rockies at Coors Field.
A collection of matchup relievers capable of bridging a lead to Edwin Diaz.
It worked pretty close to perfection in protecting a one-run lead over the final three innings at what is generally viewed as the toughest ballpark in which to protect a lead.
"When you can work the game to have that anchor in the ninth inning," manager Scott Servais said. "it's so valuable. We have the pieces to do that, but you've got to have that guy at the back end."
Part of the problem recently is the Mariners haven't had many leads to protect. But the larger issue for much of the season was an ineffective Diaz, who is the fulcrum of the entire process.
The Mariners' steps to straighten out Diaz have been well-documented. In short, he was rushing through his delivery, which resulted in dragging his arm, which straightened his fastball and caused a lack of command in his slider.
On Monday, he blew threw the Rockies in the ninth inning on eight pitches despite recording two strikeouts. He now has six scoreless innings in five outings since implementing the corrections.
"I've been working a lot to be like this (again)," he said, "throwing my pitches down in the zone. Throwing strikes. I'm feeling pretty good right now."
With renewed confidence in Diaz, Servais didn't hesitate to spend his other bullets in the sixth, seventh and eighth innings: James Pazos, Tony Zych, Nick Vincent, Marc Rzepczynski and Dan Altavilla combined for nine outs.
Only Pazos threw more than nine pitches
Three takeaways from Monday's victory:
***Lineup perks up: The Mariners just might be emerging from their recent offensive funk. Monday marked the second straight game that everyone in the starting lineup reached base safely at least once.
Further, seven different players either scored a run or drove one in.
It was a welcome turnaround from scoring just nine runs over the previous eight games. So were the back-to-back victories after a 1-7 skid.
***Cruz in right is all right: The gamble to start designated hitter Nelson Cruz in right field paid off when he was required to make only one defensive play — a catch on Charlie Blackmon's leadoff fly ball in the first inning.
Servais admitted he wrestled with the decision to play Cruz.
"It's probably the most challenging outfield to play in," Servais said, "but we need Cruz's bat in the lineup. We know we need to score runs here, and he's a big part of our offense."
Cruz had an RBI ground out and a walk that led to a run in four plate appearances.
After Tuesday's game at Coors, the Mariners have only three more interleague road games: Aug. 21-23 at Atlanta.
***Valencia surging: First baseman Danny Valencia's average is up to .253 after he went 3-for-4 in Monday's victory. He has hits in his last seven games and is batting .356 (16-for-45) in that span.
His hot streak is part of a larger surge since a disappointing start that saw his average plunge to .145 on April 22. Since then, Valencia is batting .323 (32-for-99) with 13 RBIs in 27 games.

Stating that stern action will be taken against those involved in unlawful activities, the Director General of Police K. Rajendra Tuesday said that the police were investigating the Bandiproa incident and the guilty will be punished as per the law. "We don't hesitate to take stern action against those indulging in unlawful activities such as instigating people for protests. Police will never allow anybody to disturb the law and order in the state", Rajendra told KNS over phone. He said some elements drive people to hardships through their unlawful activities. "It can't be tolerated anymore and those involved in such acts will have to face the music. We can't allow anyone to put people to inconvenience," DGP said adding that people don't want disturbance to prevail in the valley. Commenting on the stone pelting incidents, the DGP said that police is trying hard to counsel these youths in a good manner. "We have identified the stone pelters. We will counsel them and I appeal the parents to dissuade their children from pelting stones". However, the police chief said that the police are also identifying people behind stone pelting. "The police are identifying the people behind stone pelting. After their identification strict action under the law will be taken against them," he said. The DGP added that that the police is investigating Bandipora incident where villagers were thrashed allegedly by the Army. "I have asked the concerned police to investigate the incident thoroughly. I assure you that whosoever found guilty, action will be taken as per law.

The Towson Market Place shopping center will go to public auction April 29, after a unit of Bramalea Ltd. of Toronto failed to pay back a $17 million mortgage from the Equitable Life Assurance Society of America.
The debt on the 541,000-square-foot shopping center, which is just east of the intersection of Joppa Road and Goucher Boulevard, has grown to $19 million because of delinquencies apparently linked to the recession, according to court documents filed by Equitable in connection with the foreclosure. The loan was made in 1986.
The main tenants at the center include Montgomery Ward, Best Products, Marshalls and Toys 'R' Us.
The U.S. Postal Service also operates a branch there.
But center manager Kathy McLaren would not say precisely how much of the mall is occupied, saying that questions had to be referred to Bramalea's U.S. headquarters office in Denver. Calls to that office were not returned.

There's a new Timbers branded emoji generating app called Two-Stick: Timbers Messenger. It's lets you send Timbers-themed emojis as attachments in messages and sharing on Facebook, etc… Yes, I am going to expend the time and effort to review this.
The Portland Timbers are excited to launch the first official MLS team-branded emoji pack. The FREE app, "Two-Stick: Timbers Messenger", celebrates the iconic imagery of the club and is available in both the Apple and Google Play App Stores. The emoji pack features 40 custom icons, including Timber Joey's chainsaw, the axe, a "flounder" skeleton and a number of Portland Thorns FC specific images.
It's a free app available for iPhone and Android users, so that's good. Once you launch the app you choose from the icons available (see full set below) and enter them with text if you prefer. Once you choose to share your message, the app creates an image which you can attach in a message or share on Facebook, Twitter, or whatever else your phone has access too. You can't type the emojis natively in your texting app, so it does take a little extra time. According to the release: "Emoji packs built into your phone's keyboard require the user to give the app access to your text messages/information. We don't want to infringe on your privacy." That sounds like spin to me. I'm not an iPhone app developer, but I'm pretty sure the app wouldn't have to exploit your personal information to do what you would expect it to. It's more likely that this was just the easiest/quickest/cheapest way to build the app. At the time, this does not appear to be an MLS wide offering. The developer (listed as Two Stick) does not have any other apps available in the iTunes store. Formatting of the emojis is automatically centered.
Here's the list of available symbols, which you'll notice includes some Thorns imagery and some Cascadia-specific images, as well as what I thought was a TA invention (Big heart, brass balls?) but maybe I'm wrong.
Below Left: Timbers Messenger app icon. Below Right: Share screen.
Two-Stick: Timbers Messenger is a fun, throwaway app. That extra step required to send as a text message means it's probably not going to be used in the heat of the moment. It could very well end up forgotten once the initial excitement wears off. However, it could have a longer lifespan if the icon set is expanded over time or if true integration into the keyboard comes. Match specific icons? Crowdsourced graphics? It could be interesting. In the meantime, it's free, so you've got nothing to lose.

Plumbing and drainage work exempt from a consent when carried out by an authorised person
Last updated: 15 March 2016
If you are undertaking plumbing and drainage work, you may not need a building consent if an authorised person completes the work.
You must employ an authorised person to carry out building work listed in Part 2 of the Building Act's Schedule 1 in order for it to be exempt from needing a building consent. If an authorised person does not complete the work, then it is not exempt.
Work in Part 2 relates to sanitary plumbing and drainlaying.
The term 'authorised person' is defined by the Building Act. For building work in Part 2, it covers:
- registered certifying plumbers and drainlayers
- registered plumbers and drainlayers working under supervision
- plumbers and drainlayers with a provisional licence working under supervision
- trainee plumbers and drainlayers working under supervision. must make sure the plumber or drainlayer you are using for your building work has current authorisation from the Plumbers, Gasfitters, and Drainlayers Board.
Plumbers, gasfitters and drainlayers register
You must make sure the plumber or drainlayer you are using for your building work has current authorisation.
Exemptions under Part 2
Part 2 has seven exemptions divided into two broad categories:
- plumbing and drainage
- water heaters.
You can find specific and technical details about each exemption in MBIE's Schedule 1 Guidance: Building work that does not require a building consent document.
Building work that does not require a building consent
Guidance on building work exempt from needing a building consent under Schedule 1 of the Building Act.
What the exempt work includes
Plumbing and drainage
1. Repair, maintenance and replacement
This exemption enables a range of work relating to repair, maintenance and replacement of sanitary plumbing or drainage to be done without a building consent – as long as it is carried out by an authorised person.
For repairs and maintenance, comparable materials must be used.
For replacement work, comparable components or assemblies can be used providing replacement is in the same position.
2. Drainage access points
This exemption covers work to drains via a purpose-made access point and carried out by an authorised person.
3. Minor alteration to drains
This exemption only relates to houses and enables an authorised person to alter existing private drainage.
This sort of building work usually occurs during alterations to existing bathrooms, kitchens, laundries or toilets.
New connections to public drainage are excluded from this exemption.
4. Alteration to existing sanitary plumbing
This exemption enables an authorised person to carry out alterations to sanitary plumbing, as long as the alterations do not increase the number of sanitary fixtures within the existing building and do not modify or affect any specified system.
Where sanitary plumbing work could adversely affect the structural performance of structural elements such as floor joists or wall framing, this work may require a building consent.
If you are not sure if this exemption applies to your proposed building work, you should either:
- seek an exemption 2 from your local council
- apply for a building consent.
You should seek professional advice to determine whether the work will affect the structure of the building. This can include talking with:
- a licensed building practitioner
- a chartered professional engineer
- a registered architect
- a building consultant
- a registered building surveyor
- an accredited building consent authority.
Alterations to water heaters are specifically excluded from this exemption. However, building work related to water heaters that do not require a building consent is covered below.
Water heaters
You will need to apply to your council for an Exemption 2 if the proposed scope of the building work is outside the scope of the exemptions below.
For example, adding solar collectors to an existing water storage heater which has provision for solar connection and is not being replaced or repositioned.
Building consent exemptions for low-risk work
See an overview of building work exempt from needing a building consent.
5. Repair and maintenance of existing water heater
This exemption enables an authorised person to repair and maintain water heaters associated with buildings using either:
- comparable materials
- comparable components
- a comparable assembly.
6. Replacement of open-vented water storage heater connected to supplementary heat exchanger
An authorised person must replace open-vented water storage heaters associated with existing supplementary heat exchangers (such as wetbacks or solar collection panels).
The replacement of any water-storage heater connected to a solid-fuel heater or other supplementary heat exchanger if the replacement:
- is a comparable open-vented water storage heater
- is fixed in the same position
- and uses the same pipework as the replaced water storage heater.
The replacement water storage heater must be comparable and in the same position.
7. Replacement or repositioning of water heater that is connected to, or incorporates, controlled heat source
An authorised person must replace or reposition an existing water heater (of any type), as long as all the heat sources of the replaced or repositioned water heater are controlled.
This exemption includes the replacement of any water heater (including the repositioning of an existing water heater) if the replacement water heater is:
- connected to or incorporates a controlled heat source
- or if connected to or incorporating more than 1 heat source, 2 or more heat sources all of which are controlled.
This exemption will not apply if a water heater has a heat source that is not controlled (such as a wetback connected to a solid-fuel heating appliance, or a solar thermosiphon system). A controlled heat source has controls or devices that ensure the water temperature in the storage tank is no greater than 90°C.
Council maps and websites
Your local council can tell you about the requirements and exemptions related to your district.
If you are unsure about whether your building work is exempt from a building consent, you should refer to the Schedule 1 Guidance: Building work that does not require a building consent document above.

Parmesan Chicken Tenders with Brussels Sprouts
If you told me a few years ago that I would not only like brussels sprouts — but also crave them — I would have told you that you were nuts.
When I was kid brussels sprouts were right up there with liver and onions. Both were competing for the title of "world's ickiest food" although I had never tried either of them (and I didn't want to!).
In college a friend of mine would get brussels sprouts when they had them in the cafeteria. They honestly looked disgusting. Little slimy cabbages that smelled funny. No thanks.
Then, I kept reading about how great they were roasted, so I decided to try them. After all, I don't care for broccoli, but I'll happily eat it roasted.
The first time I had them, I didn't like them. I barely got through a few of them before they went into the trash.
But, I've always believed you have try something several times before you can say you don't like them, so I kept trying. Then, one day I decided I liked them. Then, last week, I craved them.
The chicken was pretty good, too. A slight twist on a baked chicken tender that would be excellent on a green salad the next day. Both came from the January/February issue of Everyday Food.
Parmesan Chicken Tenders with Brussels Sprouts
Serves 4.
1/2 cup panko bread crumbs
1/3 cup grated parmesan cheese
1 pound chicken tenders
2 tbsp olive oil
1 tsp dried thyme
salt and pepper
1 pound cremini mushrooms, quartered
1 pound brussels sprouts, halved
Preheat the oven to 450° with racks in upper and lower thirds of the oven.
Combine the bread crumbs and the cheese in a shallow dish. Toss the chicken with 1 tsp of oil, salt, pepper and the thyme. Dredge the chicken in the bread crumb mixture until coated then arrange in a single layer on a baking sheet covered in foil. Drizzle with 1 tbsp oil.
Toss the mushrooms and brussels sprouts with 2 tsp of oil, salt and pepper. Put them in a single layer on another baking sheet covered with foil.
Put the chicken on the top rack of the oven and the brussels on the lower rack. Bake until the chicken is cooked through, 15-20 minutes and the brussels are tender, about 20 minutes.

Avon, Conn. - Magellan Health Services, Inc., (Nasdaq:MGLN) has rolled out a proven outcomes-based tool, the Child and Adolescent Needs and Strengths (CANS) assessment, for use by residential treatment and other behavioral health providers in Nebraska, that promises to improve the effectiveness of behavioral health care received by children and adolescents.
With the rollout, the CANS assessment became the official outcomes reporting tool for behavioral health Medicaid providers as part of a statewide effort to achieve better clinical outcomes for children and youth. The CANS assessment, used today in 38 states, is a decision-support tool with applications to assist in creating treatment plans, assessing progress and needs, and identifying best practices to share among providers.
"CANS is proven to aid providers in quickly and effectively matching children's needs with the right services," said Sue Mimick, general manager of Magellan's Nebraska Care Management Center, which manages behavioral health services for individuals throughout the state. "Implementing this tool will help ensure that young people receive the right treatment, at the right time, in the most appropriate setting, throughout the continuum of care in order to help them go on to live productive lives."
In preparation for the rollout to Medicaid providers, Magellan Behavioral Health of Nebraska engaged John Lyons, Ph.D., the developer of the CANS tool, to train and certify 200 behavioral health workers to conduct CANS assessments, and another 90 to conduct training as well. Certification is a requirement for all clinicians who administer the assessment.
"We share Magellan's view that there needs to be a fundamental change in the way that residential treatment is provided to children and adolescents," said Vivianne Chaumont, director of the Division of Medicaid and Long-Term Care in the Nebraska Department of Health and Human Services. "CANS is a positive, strengths-based approach to communicating outcomes and sharing successes that can help providers identify and deliver the most effective care. Thanks to Magellan's close working relationship with Dr. Lyons, our providers were afforded the very best training possible."
Dr. Lyons conducted two days of training in Nebraska, which was open to all Nebraska behavioral health and substance use providers. Bachelor's degrees are required for those seeking certification, and those trained as trainers have to hold master's degrees. Going forward, Magellan will host monthly "super-user" calls with trainers to support them in the use of CANS and share best practices. A follow-up visit from Dr. Lyons in the spring will support this effort.

My husband, Covey, and I met on a blind date and were married on May 3, 2008 in the Salt Lake Temple. Since then, we've both graduated with our Bachelor's Degrees and my husband has gotten his MBA. I've been at home with our kids since the oldest was born and while I miss work some days, I know that for me, nothing really compares to being at home with them. Our kids are 2 and 4 and we are hoping to have more in the future. They bring so much joy into our lives. We enjoy being outside together and soaking up the sunshine.

As a non music person, I really do not know what it is until I read an article regarding it in a music magazine. Pedals or effect units are actually devices that change the sound of musical instruments or audio sounds.
Musicians usually use this electronic device during live performances or studio recording to put color or dramatic effects in the sound. This is often used with electronic or electric instruments such as the electric guitar, electric piano or electronic keyboard, etc.
So if you see devices mounted on a pedal train, like those above, don't be surprised to its complexity, they are called pedals for the musicians.

Why 1989 Still Matters?
Tuesday, April 25, 2017 @ 6:00 pm | Harriman Institute, 1201 International Affairs Building (420 W 118th St)
Please join the Romanian Cultural Institute in New York, the East Central European Center, and the Harriman Institute for a talk with Dr. Noemi Marin, School of Communication and Multimedia Studies, Florida Atlantic University.
Dr. Marin will present on the pre- and post-1989 political discourse in Romania, Eastern Europe, and the United States, drawing on the volume she recently co-edited with Cezar Ornatowski, Rhetorics of 1989: Rhetorical Archaeologies of Political Transitions (Routledge, 2015). She will address the question of how political speech in communist and transition periods does and does not change democratic action, and what challenges remain inherent to the public arena to this day. In this lecture, she intends to popularize scholarship on Romanian political communication pertinent to the country's history within the context of European identity post-1989.
With crises arising on the democratic scene of former Eastern Europe, including the rise of nationalist rhetoric and the issues surrounding migration, there is an increasing need for scholarship on the role of the political and rhetorical communication and its impact on communist and post-communist times. The abundant scholarship produced for over the last twenty five years primarily focuses on historical, political, and sociopolitical perspectives, leaving out a communication studies approach. Communication and rhetorical perspectives help the public understand why nationalist arguments remain part of the political arena in Romania and the region as a whole, why democratic language and 'wooden language' share political arguments in presidential discourse, and why the notions of 'other' and 'we-they' remain fundamentally connected to the current European identity public discourse.
Dr. Noemi Marin is a Professor of the School of Communication and Multimedia Studes at Florida Atlantic University. She held administrative positions as Director of the School (2011-2014) and Director of the Peace Studies Program (2007-2012) at her institution. She is also Faculty Associate, Center for Women, Gender and Sexualities Studies, and Faculty Associate, Center for Body, Mind, and Culture, both at Florida Atlantic University. Since 2005, Dr. Marin has been the Editor of the international academic Journal of Literacy and Technology. Dr. Marin is currently President of the Romanian Studies Association of America, affiliated with Modern Language Association.
Dr. Marin has authored several volumes such as Rhetorics of 1989: Rhetorical Archaeologies of Political Transitions (co-edited) Routledge, 2015; two Collocutio collections part of Advances in the History of Rhetoric, (co-edited) Routledge, 2011 and 2007, as well as the single authored book, After the Fall: Rhetoric in the Aftermath of Dissent in Post-Communist Times (Peter Lang, 2007). In addition, she co-edited a Special Issue on Democracies' in Transition for the academic journal, Controversia (Fall, 2007).
Currently, Dr. Marin is working on a new book project related to political communication and nationalist rhetoric in Eurasian states and an edited volume on post-communist rhetoric of transition in Eastern Europe.

Russian mass spectrometry
Blog Post
- Published: Jan 7, 2014
- Author: Steve Down
- Channels: Base Peak
The current state of mass spectrometry in Russia has been reviewed, detailing the changes and advances that grew following the establishment of the Russian Federation. This account, compiled by Vladimir Zaikin and Alexander Sysoev, has been published in European Journal of Mass Spectrometry.
They describe how the mass spectrometry community has concentrated on two particular aspects: the development of new instrumentation, especially multiple reflecting time-of-flight spectrometers and the application of mass spectrometry to solving chemical problems.
Despite the exodus of many mass spectrometrists following the breakdown of the Soviet Union, there is still a vibrant community that is making a strong contribution to mass spectrometry growth.

11 October 2017
Scunthorpe woman Danielle Andrew of Stratton Court has been fined for a second time for letting dog faeces pile up in her garden.
North Lincolnshire Council secured the second prosecution on Friday 29 September 2017 at Grimsby Magistrates Court. This is just over a year since the last prosecution for repeatedly failing to pick up after her dog.
The first prosecution for Danielle Andrew was in June 2016 when she received a fine of £882.
Following the first prosecution the council's Environmental Health Team were contacted by Danielle Andrew's landlord, Ongo on 5 January 2017 about the accumulation of dog faeces in her garden.
On a planned inspection on 6 January 2017, Environmental Health Officers from the council found evidence of dog faeces. A letter was sent to Danielle Andrew reminding her of her responsibility to pick up after her dog and keep her garden clear. She did clean up the dog faeces so no further action was taken.
Evidence was then gathered between between 16 January 2017 and 27 March 2017, where eight offences were recorded.
Danielle Andrew was fined £1,000 for her first offence with no additional penalty for the remaining seven offences. She was ordered to pay £1,574.12 in costs and surcharges to on top of this.
Dog faeces can pose a significant health risk to humans and can cause cramps, diarrhoea, intestinal illness and serious kidney disorders. Dog faeces are also known to contain a variety of parasitic worms with the most common variety being roundworm or Toxocara Canis that can lead to Toxocariasis in humans and lead to serious illness, even blindness.
Cllr Richard Hannigan, Deputy Leader of North Lincolnshire Council, said:
"It is shocking that the offender has been prosecuted twice for the same offence. It is unacceptable behaviour. Dog owners have a responsibility to pick up after their pet.
"We will continue to work closely with Ongo to combat the problem.
"Dog faeces can pose a significant health risk and we will take action when owners are not acting responsibly."

My great passion is modern Polish poetry (Szymborska, Lipska, Osiecka, and Poświatowska) and English poetry (Keats, Yeats, and Plath). I also like to read Japanese haiku (Issa, Shiki). I mostly listen to classical music- opera (Mascagni, Leoncavallo, Puccini, and Verdi).
Art gives me a lot of pleasure. I am under impression of Italian painting of the early Baroque (Caravaggio) and the Renaissance (da Vinci, Mantegna, Buonarotti, Santi) I also like Dutch painting (The golden Age- Rembrandt) French painting (naturalism and impressionism- Monet, Degas, Renoir), Spanish painting (baroque and modern- Picasso, Dali).
For three years I have been doing Hatha-Yoga. It is not only a physical practice- I am also interested in the philosophical aspect of this Indian tradition. The eastern attitude to illness, old age, death, hygiene and life fulfillment inspires and enriches me.
For me it is inspiring and educating addition to everyday intellectually challenging and stressful surgical work.

There are several "secrets" to successful homemade beef or chicken stock. As you prepare yours, keep in mind these tips from our Test Kitchen.
- For a more flavorful broth, use a high proportion of meat/bones and vegetables to water.
- Be sure to use cold water when starting to make stock.
- During cooking time, if necessary, add just enough hot water to keep meat and vegetables covered.
- Bring the broth mixture to a boil slowly to help release more meat juices. An initial rapid boil tends to seal the juices into the meats.
- To remove the fat from hot meat stock, drop ice cubes into it. The fat will stick to the ice and can easily be scooped up with a spoon and discarded.

New initiative to address the rise in hate crimes
KALAMAZOO, Mich. (NEWSCHANNEL 3) - The YWCA of Kalamazoo is launching a new initiative to address the rise in hate crimes. Michigan has seen the highest increase in hate crimes in the Midwest, and many of them are in Southwest Michigan.
The initiative is called "Project Speak Up", and it was made possible by an $80,000 grant from Open Society Foundation. The YWCA will use the money to educate the community about hate crimes and let victims know the organization has resources.
Across the country there is a staggering rise in hate related incidents. According to the Southern Poverty Law Center study, just since the November election there have been 867 incidents and 40 of them were in Michigan.
"Hate crimes are not something that's been directly addressed in this community yet," said Emily Deering, project coordinator with the YWCA of Kalamazoo.
Deering says Southwest Michigan is no stranger to hate. Back in 2015, 66 offenses were reported. 59% were related to race/ethnicity, 38% religion based, and 3% were connected to gender/sexual orientation. Many of these incidents are happening in schools.
"They're calling and they're saying these things are happening in our community, how can you guys support us? And that's when Project Speak Up steps in," said YWCA Community Outreach specialist Demetrias Wolverton.
Project Speak Up is partnering with schools and community organizations to educate and provide resources to help victims of hate crimes.
Deering says, "Helping students and administrators and parents and everyone who's involved in that community to handle that situation, handle that event in a way that's equitable and effective."
As part of Project Speak Up, there will be monthly legal and group support meetings for victims.
"We are not going to push an agenda of prosecuting," Wolverton said. "We're not going to push an agenda of policing, but we are going to advocate for what's in the best interest of that survivor."
Deering says if they don't address the concerns now, victimized communities will continue to grow.
"So now we have this escalation of violence and tension and insecurity that's going to effect the whole area," Deering said.
If you or someone you know has been a victim of a hate crime call the Project Speak Up Hotline: (269) 743-9463.

I'll be the first to admit how hairy I am—it's not like I need to visit a laser hair-removal clinic, a waxer, or a doctor to figure that out. Think of it this way: A teen boy going through puberty has nothing on my peach fuzz and my mustache, thank you very much. And after years of feeling embarrassed about it (because let's face it, the stigma around body hair and women is real), you'd think the prospect of having supersmooth, hairless skin—not unlike a man who just shaved his face—would have me stoked, which is what I thought was case with the new at-home dermaplaning devices that have been cropping up recently.
But if I'm being honest, I've started to embrace my hairiness lately. Without it, I wouldn't have my long, curly hair and thick brows. (Have you seen my three-product cocktail that's pure curl magic?) And frankly, a small part of me was convinced I would be losing my identity to dermaplaning. Thankfully, hair removal has nothing to do with it, says Neil Sadick, a dermatologist in New York City. Since the little I knew of dermaplaning was that it makes skin smoother, I was game to give it a shot—especially in the confines of my own home. But I wanted to learn a little (um, a lot) more about the process first.
This is the prenatal moisturizer Ciara swears by:
What exactly is dermaplaning?
Simply put, dermaplaning is a form of exfoliation. A sharp tool—not unlike a scalpel—is used to scrape off the top layer of the skin, says Stalina Glot, an aesthetician at Haven Spa in New York City. Even though a sharp blade is involved, the treatment is pain-free and leaves you with virtually no downtime. (Read: You don't need to go into hiding for a day while your face recovers.) It's the superficial use of the scalpel-esque tool that makes it safe—there's no anesthesia, skin lacerations, or the like—not even a nick or cut. As you scrape skin, dead skin cells are removed along with fine vellus hairs, a fancy name for your favorite and mine, good old peach fuzz. "[Dermaplaning] is a great alternative to a chemical peel or microdermabrasion," Glot adds.
But dermaplaning does not equal dermabrasion. "Think of dermaplaning as a deeper [form of] microdermabrasion," says Sadick. Both treatments resurface skin, but dermaplaning takes off most of the epidermis, the outermost layer of your skin, he explains, while "microdermabrasion [only] takes off the layer above called the stratum corneum [the surface layer of skin]," he explains. Plus, microdermabrasion can't (and doesn't—I've tried it) remove any facial hair.
Besides exfoliating the skin and removing hair, dermaplaning also has mild anti-aging benefits, too. Sadick says that the scraping creates subclinical (microscopic) wounds in the skin. After you scrape, the "skin reacts by regulating certain growth factors, like fibroblasts and vascular, which in turn stimulate collagen production," Sadick says. This collagen production, in turn, improves skin quality and reduces wrinkles.
What dermaplaning won't really help with, though, according to most of the dermatologists I spoke with for this story, is acne. However, Sadick did say dermaplaning can be great at removing blackheads and comedones because the exfoliation "unroofs blocked glandular structures." And since it's such an excellent exfoliating treatment, products like moisturizer and serum penetrate the skin better post-treatment, said all the dermatologists I talked to.
As for the primary promised result? Supersmooth skin for days. "Dermaplaning produces immediate results of even skin texture and tone," adds Kerry Benjamin, an aesthetician and the founder of StackedSkincare spa in Los Angeles.
But it's really important to note there's a difference between in-office and at-home dermaplaning._
In an in-office setting, a straight-edge razor or a surgical #10 scalpel (it has a curved edge) is used by a licensed professional, such as a dermatologist, aesthetician, or a registered nurse at a medical spa, according to Benjamin. As mentioned earlier, the nonsurgical procedure involves no downtime. Dermaplaning sessions can cost anywhere from $40 to $150, depending where you go.
Because we live in a DIY world, "more and more popular professional treatments are now moving over the counter so consumers can perform them themselves," says Joshua Zeichner, the director of cosmetic and clinical research in dermatology at Mount Sinai Hospital in New York City. That now includes dermaplaning because many people can't find a qualified professional, the time for the treatment, or the cash to have it done, he adds. These days, a scalpel and an appointment aren't needed to try out it out. Safe at-home devices with goofproof blades are now available that replicate the treatment (and are the ones I gave a whirl myself).
You have a few at-home dermaplaning options.
For this story, I worked with some trust in myself (because you can't hold a sharp object to your face and have little faith) and two different at-home dermaplaning devices. One of them, the Dermaflash, is available now. It costs $189 and comes with six single-use blades. This was the far more techy-looking devices of the two, and it's also Instagram candy—makeup artists such as Ashunta Sheriff, Isabel Bedoya, and Laura Lee have been spotted flaunting the Dermaflash on their accounts recently.
The other dermaplaner I tested was the the StackedSkincare Dermaplaning Tool, which will be launching in early 2017 for $75 (and is available for preorder now). As you can see from the photo above, it looks like a child-safe scalpel. This differs from the Dermaflash, which needs to be charged because it uses a subtle sonic vibration and a proprietary stainless steel edge, says Dara Levy, th efounder of Dermaflash. "The sonic vibrations reduce friction and generate a pulse that resonates deep beneath the skin's surface," Levy explains. "They have the ability to cause muscles to contract 30 to 50 times per second, similar to a mini-workout. These contractions have the potential to increase circulation and bring oxygen and nutrients to the tissue, yielding a natural healthy, rejuvenated glow." Both, however, have angled blades so they can be placed on the skin at a safe, effective angle for dermaplaning.
Before you even think of getting started, you should know exactly how to dermaplane.
To ensure fair and superscientific testing methods, I used the StackedSkincare at-home tool on one half of my face and the Dermaflash at-home tool on the other. My hope was that not only would I have less peach fuzz—and thus less peach fuzz to think about—but that I'd be creating a smoother, more even canvas for a more flawless makeup application. Because I love makeup, guys: I'm a very far cry from a #nomakeup girl. I actually look forward to sitting in front of a mirror and brushing on the most shimmery highlighter I can find every morning. Needless to say, I was the perfect dermaplane test subject, and an eager one at that.
Here's the proper dermaplaning technique, according to Benjamin—regardless of which tool you use. (Granted, read the instructions for both, but this tutorial should give you more context.)
- First make sure to cleanse your face. But unlike facial shaving, skin needs to be completely dry and free of oils for dermaplaning. "The dryer your skin, the better the results," Benjamin says. "With drier skin you'll get significantly more dead skin off, as well as removal of more peach fuzz." The Dermaflash comes with a cleanser, but for other methods, use an oil-free face wash, like
With the device in your dominant hand, work in small strokes going downward, starting on your cheekbones, with your other hand behind the blade pulling the skin taught. Continue until you have resurfaced the entire cheek and jaw. Repeat the light strokes on the chin, above the lips, and on the forehead. Benjamin advises, "Do not go over any facial area more than once or use on eyelids, eyebrows, hairlines, sides of nose, or lips."
Once you're done, slather up with your favorite moisturizer and serums.
Each of the tools left my skin really smooth—but there's a big catch.
My thought process while using both tools was basically the same. About two strokes in, I started realizing my skin had a radiance that I'd never seen before. It was like the clouds of dead skin were parting with each stroke, and my skin was finally shining like the sun. Afterward, my skin felt like silk. When it came to makeup, my cheeks looked incredible. My highlighter, blush, and bronzer blended better than ever before. However, halfway through the day, my skin started feeling incredibly itchy. It was almost like my skin missed my peach fuzz and that top layer of skin.
My takeaways and final thoughts on dermaplaning, peach fuzz, and mustaches.
Although most of the itching subsided a day after I dermaplaned, I occasionally still felt like there was a piece of fuzz on my face that I couldn't find for a couple days after. Also, Sadick was right. Dermaplaning really isn't all about hair removal because that part was more temporary than I thought. My mustache started growing back after four days. Luckily, I don't have to worry about it coming back thicker. Sadick tells me that dermaplaning doesn't go deep enough to affect the active stem cells of hair follicles, which are located deeper down in the dermis.
While it was almost like a skin-brightening booster shot, the dermaplaning technique left me desiring (itching for?) more. Perhaps that's because of my admitted abundance of body hair, though. But again, Sadick assured me dermaplaning has nothing to do with hair. However, if you're interested in trying it at home, but scared of nicking yourself, I'd recommend splurging on the Dermaflash, because of the multiple safety features built into the device. "We have an outer safety cage that elevates the blade just enough over the skin to avoid irritation and overexfoliation," Levy explains.
If you're not eager to try it at all because putting a blade to your face isn't your thing or you're fine with the state of your peach fuzz, I don't blame you. You might as well just use a peel-off face mask and try threading instead.

Update on my journey up
I haven't been posting much on my journey up these last few weeks, been more philosophical and talking about poker peripherally than actual play at the tables. Plus, I'm tired this week, I had aother homegame yesterday, I drank too much (yet ended up felting more people the more beer I drank) and today was work day, so I have sleep deficit. So it'll be a pretty short post.
Well, I've been putting in the time, believe me. If you scroll down the graph, you'll laugh at me only playing 10k hands in almost one and a half months. But I've been reviewing my sessions (screaming at my lack of value betting), watching vids like crazy. On top of that I still have a job and kid and everything, I'd say 10k hands is kinda nice :)
The graph is pretty self-explanatory, it's mostly .5/1 – 1/2 (95% of hands). The downswing around hand 4000, was when I posted my blog about tilting. See how angry I was that the next day I won 120BB and the graph started going up again? Yeah, that was that week. The last dip is almost a complacency dip. I had been running at like 4BB/100 I think for long, so I thought "meh, yeah, now the beats comeâ€. I blame BBB, was playing right as the biggest down came (flush over flush in massive pot) he started chatting with me :P
Still, pretty happy always to crawl out of a hole and plug away. Besides the tilt session, I believe I played pretty well, yes that includes the dips before it.
I started fiddling with numbers a bit. They are very skewed, because I start so many tables, but when I filter for exclusive 5-6 handed situations, I am running at a very TAGish 29/21. Very theoretical numbers and I think I'm fine with that. I never know if people that brag they are LAGs filter enough, though, hehe. Part of it is that I don't wanna level that much. I mean, do I really need to open 87s in the HJ at 1/2? Nah, probably not. Do I need to re-raise ATo every time? Nah, probably not.
And another thing I noticed on the transition around the midpoint when I went back to Stars. Stars is easier at the low levels. It's simple, really. The rakeback you get at FullTilt is better in terms of percentages is much better if you don't get Supernova. Well, .5/1 and 1/2 players mostly don't get Supernova unless they're really playing a lot, so if they are really about maximizing their theoretical profit, they should play at Full Tilt. So 1/2 Stars is about on par with .5/1 FTP. I mean, there are some differences, FTP is filled with crazy Russian guys and others that will make hopeless bluffs and a lot of fancy plays. Stars is a bit more passive, but not as easy to extract bets from. And last, but not least is the level of chattiness is much higher on Stars. From nice inane comments (though those are rare) to the full out raging chattilters. You get some "moron†or "idiot†at FTP, but the novels they chat out there at stars just are amazing. I think some 1/2 regulars just need to chill, seriously… CALM DOWN!

Nikita Khrushchev – Soviet leader
Nikita Khrushchev was first secretary of the Communist Party and leader of the USSR during the first decade after Stalin's death between 1953 and 1964. He abolished the most ruthless aspects of the political system and tried with limited success to catch up with and overtake the U.S. economy. He was one of the most important figures of the Cold War. During his ten years in power, Nikita Khrushchev never stopped surprising the world with his vigor and stamina. He could work 14 to 16 hours a day, never needing a break. He allowed himself to relax only during his energetic hunting sessions.
Nikita Sergeyevich Khrushchev was born in April 1894 in the poor southern Russian village of Kalinovka. His parents were illiterate peasants, and young Nikita was more familiar with hard labor than formal education. In 1908 family moved to Yuzovka, where he worked various factory jobs and got involved in the organized labor movement. By 1914 he had become a skilled, highly paid metalworker, had married an educated woman from a fairly prosperous family, and dreamed of becoming an engineer or industrial manager.
In 1917 Nikita Sergeyevich joined the Bolsheviks. He served as a political commissar in the Red Army during the Russian civil war.
In 1929 Khrushchev enrolled in the Stalin Industrial Academy in Moscow.
In 1939 he became a full member of the Politburo. Between 1938 and 1941, Khrushchev was Stalin's viceroy in Ukraine.
Khrushchev's role in World War II blended triumph and tragedy. He was involved in great victories at Stalingrad and Kursk. But he also contributed to disastrous defeats at Kiev and Kharkov.
When Stalin died in March 1953, Khrushchev battled with Georgy Malenkov, Lavrenty Beria, and Nikolai Bulganin for the leadership. By early 1955 he had emerged as the clear leader of the Soviet Union.
The Thaw in Soviet culture began before Khrushchev's Secret Speech but gained momentum from it. The cultural and scientific intelligentsia was a natural constituency for a reformer like Khrushchev, but he and his Kremlin colleagues feared the Thaw might become a flood.
On the one hand, he authorized the 1957 World Youth Festival, for which thousands of young people from around the world flooded into Moscow. On the other hand, he encouraged the fierce campaign against Boris Pasternak after the poet and author of Dr. Zhivago was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1958.
In 1955 Khrushchev and Prime Minister Nikolai Bulganin traveled to India, Burma, and Afghanistan. In 1960 he returned to these three countries and visited Indonesia as well. He backed the radical president of the Congo, Patrice Lumumba, and reached out to support Fidel Castro in Cuba.
Under his leadership, the Soviet Union kept pace in the nuclear arms race with the United States and developed a space program that had significant successes. The launch of the Sputnik satellite in 1957 and the first manned space flight in 1961 were great technical triumphs for the Soviet Union.
In 1962 Khrushchev secretly placed nuclear missiles in communist Cuba. The purpose of this gamble was to protect Cuba from U.S. attack and to provide the Soviet Union with instant strategic parity. When U.S. spy planes detected the missiles, however, a standoff resulted that brought the world alarmingly close to nuclear war.
In late 1964, Khrushchev was removed from power by a conservative faction led by Leonid Brezhnev.
From 1964 to 1971 Khrushchev lived under de facto house arrest outside Moscow.
He died in Moscow in September 1971.

Some outstanding bowling scores were recorded in all three City Tournament events which, concluded a weekend ago at All-Star Lanes.
The Open, Women's and Youth events all were conducted at the same time and unofficial results are out. We cannot because of space come close to getting everything in, so check out the Greater Baton Rouge USBC website for all the association placings.
Here, though, are some of the highlights:
Open Championships: These Guys Shot was the team winner with a 2,938 total, but the scores individually were fascinating. John Amedee (who shot 300) and Duke Koontz had their way in the doubles with a scratch winning overall total of 1,487. Dylan Doiga won handicap singles (773) and with 268 pins handicap each event, he also won handicap all-event with 2,233. That's a lot of handicap, but it also means he bowled an outstanding nine games to get the combined total to 2,233 and that's the beauty of a city tournament. Randy Summers, who also shot 300, posted 2,193 (243 average). Sumner Taylor was second in scratch all-events with 2,166.
Women's Championships: The top team was Lane Violation with a score of 2,757. Kristy Koontz and Sarah Broussard equaled the winners in the open doubles by taking both scratch and handicap with scores of 1,336 and 1,457. There was a rare tie for a title in the handicap singles with Sylvia Hahn and Sarah Ayme both posting 730 (Mary Mansur the scratch winner at 681). In the all-events it was Rene Carter the best with a handicap total of 2,182. The city champion in scratch all-events came down to a one-pin decision with Broussard shooting 1,973 to Mansur's 1,972.
Youth Championships: There are so many divisions in this group we thought we would hit the all-events winners: Bantams: Carter Mashon (2,191); Preps: William Graham (2,322), Ashtyn Yoches (2,373); Juniors: Damien Cavendar (2,403), Bailee Chapman (2,157); Major-Seniors: Clayton Craighead (2,221); Ashley Triggs (2,461). Scratch All-Events: 160 average & over: Tyler Lewis (1,985), Chapman (1,689); 159 & under: Aaron Bustamante (1,435); Hannah Grather (1,493).
Remember, all the results on the city association web site for you to check out and bowlers have until Dec. 6 to report any corrections they may see before final checks are mailed out. Congrats to all the winners and more importantly, thanks to all who bowled.
BR Singles, Dec. 6-7
The next edition of the BR Singles event will be at Circle Bowl on Dec. 6-7, and remember the changes instituted regarding averages now for the event. Tournament staff expect the bowlers to bring an official printout verification of your average. It saves time and gives the event a chance to stay relatively on time considering how late some people re-enter the event at the last minute based on scores.
Again, big money is involved and a reminder the shifts are at 9 and 11 a.m, 1, 4, 6 and 8 p.m. Anyone who pre-enters by Dec. 5 and has paid ahead of time is entered for a chance to win a bowling ball. There are several other giveaways during the event which is sponsored by Circle Bowl, The Bowlers Pro Shop and Hammer.
More information can be found at the lanes or the Circle Bowl website.
Spare Notes
Know some of our bowlers have been in St. Louis at the TNBA regional and looks like there may be some good results to post in our next column. … The wait is almost over, the PBA Tour shows return on Sunday, Dec. 14.
Honor Roll notes
Some outstanding bowling at all the centers this week, highlighted by Clay Duke who had 300 with an 818 series (300-248-269). Delery Matherne was also on his game with a 300 game as part of an 803 series (300-256-247). Tristan Senegal on the ladies side had 739 (258), as did Mary Mansur with a 728 set with a 258 high game, Bernadine Thompson 725 (278) and Dawn Amedee 706 (244 high game). Speaking of 700, how about Deontrae Taylor in the youth leagues with a 704 (257 high game).
Melanie Dufrene had her first 500 (504), while Norma Wolfe had 511 for her first. Brenda French (200) and John Cador (203) both hit for over 200 pins for the first time. Also, Tara David picked 4-7-8-10 split.
Back with you in two weeks on Dec. 9. Happy Thanksgiving everyone and as always, good luck and good bowling.
