Recently, a friend of a friend started the marathon session of filling out the eHarmony questionnaire. I think applying for the Foreign Service or CIA is easier. How these 500 questions about music preferences, religion and bowel movements (towards the end I wasn't paying attention but I think they asked about regularity or something) will match you with your perfect mate on 29 dimensions of compatibility (for $50+ per month) is beyond me.
However, that got me thinking about "levels of compatibility" with food. My eFoodHarmony questionnaire will include: Bundt cakes, Thai Food, Green Tea/Matcha anything, Mochi, Hawaiian Shave Ice, Udon Noodles, Soon Tofu, Avocados, Carnitas and, of course, long walks on the beach with Lemon Curd.
And my "dimension of incompatibility"? You know....coconut strands (coconut flavor okay...but the strands and flakes have a dental floss texture that I don't hang with).
For this week's Tuesdays with Dorie selection, Carmen of Carmen Cooks singled out Coconut Tea Cake on pages 194 and 195 of Dorie's book, Baking: From My Home to Yours.
Made in a 10-cup Bundt and a mini 4-inch cake. I skipped the rum and used a bit extra vanilla extract.
My hate of the coconut strands prohibits me from rating this. Co-workers said it was The Yum.
Be sure to check out the other Tuesdays with Dorie bakers!

It's winter, and for me that means drier skin. So I was happy to review Suave Professionals® Moroccan Infusion Body Care line — specifically the Body Lotion and the Dry Body Oil.
I've been hearing about argan oil all over the place lately — have you? It's supposed to be fabulous for nourishing and moisturizing and chock full of nutrients and antioxidants. It's made from the nut of the argan tree that grows in Morocco, which is kind of far from Seattle, by which I mean I hadn't yet had a chance to give it a try. So I love that Suave's brought a premium ingredient to the mainstream, since this new body care line is infused with authentic Moroccan argan oil.
The Suave Professionals® Moroccan Infusion Body Lotion was a nice, hydrating lotion with a pleasant, Moroccan-ish scent. What does Morocco smell like? As established, I have no idea. But this somehow evoked the idea to me!
The lotion absorbed quickly and felt nice on my hands. Even though it was substantial, it wasn't greasy, and the moisturizing lasted nicely even through my next hand washing.
It is much easier to spritz the Dry Body Oil Spray than my intense hand tendons would suggest. |
But, even more, I have to say I really loved the Suave Professionals® Moroccan Infusion Dry Body Oil Spray. I didn't know I'd enjoy a spray oil (or any kind of liquid oil), but I really did. It spritzed out evenly from the spray bottle without getting on everything else, and it absorbed quickly into my skin with a nice sheen but no extra grease.
See — sheen, but it absorbs quickly and feels so nice! But, seriously, do I have man hands? |
I really enjoyed smoothing it over all my skin after my shower. It had a lighter scent than the lotion, which I appreciated. It felt luxurious to hydrate like that during the winter — a spa-like experience.
Before I agreed to this review, I looked up the line at EWG to see how it rated. Because the body care line is so new, it's not listed, but the haircare rated well. Due to perhaps different ingredients in the body care, I'm not sure how high they would score, so I'll have to check back on that. For instance, both have fragrances, which could be an issue for people who are sensitive. And the first oil listed in the spray is mineral oil, which I'm fine with, but I know some people have reservations about it since it's a petroleum byproduct. (As someone who is blissfully addicted to petroleum jelly, I remain complacent.)
At any rate, I've always been pleased at how affordable Suave makes its products, and the way they can make rich-feeling products at a reasonable price point. I'll continue to enjoy the lotion for my winter-battered hands, and the oil spray to remoisten after a shower and my very occasional shaves!

How Many Blogs Have Tribute Parties?
Saturday, December 6, 2008
This is the handiwork of Wreckerators Marilyn N. and friends. Look familiar? And oh yes, it is a CCC: these girls didn't overlook any details. I think the coconut icing and pink bow with "it a gril!" inscription really add something, too.
Then there's this one from Mary C.:
It's even a "real" Wreck; she and her friends brought in a photo of the original Tom Selleck cake to the bakery and had a decorator copy it. Sure, the chest hair can't compare, but I think you'll agree that this brooding Neanderthal Tom is a real piece of work.
And Maggie H. provided her boyfriend Cody with a birthday Wreckplica of his favorite Wreck:
Wow, the carrot jockeys have grown, Maggie! ;) Glad to see they haven't lost their mohawks, though.
Good work, everyone!

I just don't think I could make myself make that first wreck! I just couldn't. The coconut icing made my stomach churn just a little!

Yeah that first one is almost TOO good.

Yay, return of the mohawked infant carrot jockeys! My day just got brighter...and weirder.

Maybe it's because I have a bit of a hangover this a.m., but coconut icing face makes me want to hurl, and I think the Magnum PI cake is cute in a cartoon-y kind of way.

Wow, imagine, someday everyone will be able to go to the bakery, and ask to see the Wreck selection.
"Oh, that one is so tacky, I'll take it."

Yeah, that coconut icing really does add the perfect note of unappetizing
appearance. Well done!

Question: do they eat their handywork?
I think that is a pretty good Tom Selleck on the one cake! Has anyone done a Hassellhoff yet? - December 6, 2008 at 1:02 PM
That's hilarious! It entertains me how Tom looks so glum on cake2.
- December 6, 2008 at 1:27 PM
They say imitation is the highest form of flattery. Considering that the "bakers" who made the wrecks being imitated deserve no flattery whatsoever, I deem this post to be Made of Fail.

You can't do better than carrot jockey babies on a cake. No sirree, that right there's a good cake wreckplication. Gimme some o' dat!

I was pleased to read that these were purposeful wrecks. The "It's a Gril!" CCC is going to give me nightmares and has already sent me to my medical reference books trying to figure out what horrible genetic syndrome that poor baby "gril" has.
Tom Selleck and Carrot-riding Mohawked Babies are no doubt destined to become classics. - December 6, 2008 at 3:30 PM
Gosh, all Cake Wrecks needs now is a tribute BAND to go with all the tribute parties! Don't tell me you wouldn't go to that concert.

That first cake is good that it could be improved only with an injudicious use of quotation marks.

I didn't "see" a single set of out of place quotations anywhere on those tribute wrecks.

I think Tom look pretty special on cake 2, the chest hair looks a little like leeches on a rampage but otherwise a cool cake..
- December 6, 2008 at 7:25 PM
- Scritzy said...
You did notice that the Selleck cake said Hairy Birthday, didn't you?
And dang, I love those mohawk baby carrot jockeys. So utterly cool! - December 6, 2008 at 8:03 PM
- Hyena Overlord said...
the babies are a wreck icon.
Sadly...ccc have invaded our local bakeries. When I have a second and can find the usb cord. I'll email the pics.

That wrectacular version of Tom Selleck looks more like Saddam Hussein.
- December 7, 2008 at 1:51 AM
- E.A.D. said...
Selleck looks a bit like a cheesed-off/drugged Inspector Clouseau with that mustache.
wvotd: bostre. I'm not sure if that's supposed to be a noun or a verb. - December 7, 2008 at 2:05 AM
- Eric said...
Ok, Tom Selleck ended up looking like Borat, and the babies now have a carrot hot tub?

Sometimes when I'm feeling low, I'll look at your Curious George/Teenwolf blog entry, Jen. I immediately feel better, because I laugh like a ninny every time.
- December 7, 2008 at 10:14 AM
I followed a link from facebook. Hilarious! I must say that the "It's A Girl!" cake looks a bit like poo to me. Sorry..but it does.
Leeva - December 7, 2008 at 6:54 PM
Now those are some loyal readers who take their wreckreational baking seriously!
- December 8, 2008 at 12:40 AM
I think it's a real testament to what you've accomplished here, Jen, to know that fans seek to IMITATE some of your more infamous wrecks! Mo(hawk) power to you!
- December 8, 2008 at 9:21 AM
I have been out of the country for a week and when eagerly opened this blog to see what I missed I was I was so glad to see my favorite wreck - steam rolled teen wolf - return in a new female form. That was the cake I originally "laughed so hard I almost went pee in my pants" over at work and caused my coworkers to wonder if I was ok. This new version caused an even louder guffaw and even some snorting. I wish I had a shirt with this... Thank you Cake Wrecks.
- December 8, 2008 at 2:28 PM
The first one looks like Bill Cosby to me.

I have to say that I'm LOVING the Tom Selleck meta-wreck. I mean, seriously... how do you take something that scary and make it worse?! Good job, Mary C, for making this happen.

- Devin said...
I just have to share this moment... I was scrolling down the page, showing my boyfriend my favorite posts, and when I came to this one, I just commented "Tribute cakes". He then said the most memorable thing ever (remember the first picture of this post when reading!):
"To what? Obama?!" - December 11, 2008 at 5:25 PM
- Unknown said...
That first cake with the face actually made me gasp! I can't believe ve this was once an original cake...its insane. It kind of looks like vomit with a face.
- December 12, 2008 at 10:42 AM
- Unknown said...
where can I get some of those babies? I want to put them on my mom's birthday cake!
- December 20, 2008 at 1:11 AM
This is my first time commenting on here although I am an avid fan/reader and try never to go even one day without catching up on the daily "Cakewrecks" blog.
I am commenting to say that whoever prepared that Tom Selleck remake did a creepy job on the chest hair! It looked like a infestation of bugs were running from a can of Raid or something! It literally gave me the shivers which - if we go by "Cakewreck" rules - would signify that that cake was a fantabulous wreck huh?

What's a Wreck?
What's a Wreck?
A Cake Wreck is any cake that is unintentionally sad, silly, creepy, inappropriate - you name it. A Wreck is not necessarily a poorly-made cake; it's simply one I find funny, for any of a number of reasons. Anyone who has ever smeared frosting on a baked good has made a Wreck at one time or another, so I'm not here to vilify decorators: Cake Wrecks is just about finding the funny in unexpected, sugar-filled places.
Now, don't you have a photo you want to send me? ;)

Where's the book?
We don't have any copies of Cake Wrecks for sale here, autographed or otherwise. We decided the shipping and handling costs would be too high to make it worth your while. So instead, buy your copies locally or online and then order personalized bookplates: it's cheaper, easier, and I think even looks a bit nicer.
Ordering Info
Payments must be made through Paypal, which accepts all major credit cards. Sorry, but that means no checks or MOs or barter-based chickens.
We ship everything first class USPS, and will do our best to have your package in the mail within 2 days of your order.

If you have recently learned that you have a badly broken, damaged, or infected tooth, our dentist may recommend having a dental crown placed. A crown or tooth-shaped "cap" is a fixed prosthetic cemented onto a tooth to restore its appearance, form and function as well as strengthen the tooth. Dental crowns cover a tooth's entire surface, and when treatment is completed, it will look like your surrounding teeth.
When Crowns are Used
While dental veneers are used to correct small chips or cracks in the teeth and a dental implant is used to replace a missing tooth, dental crowns are used for fixing teeth with severe decay or a dental filling that is compromised and doesn't protect the tooth anymore.
Crowns are also placed after a root canal, wisdom tooth extraction or to secure a dental bridge restoration by anchoring the adjacent natural teeth. When a dental crown is used after a root canal, it gives extra support to the tooth and lessens the risk of retreatment. There are various types of dental crown materials. The sealing ability is dependent on the filling materials used and the quality of the tooth that is used.
- Ceramic crowns: These are popular as they blend in with the surrounding natural teeth and are highly resistant to wear.
- Crowns made from porcelain fused to metal: These are highly durable and offer a strong seal because of their attachment to the metal.
- Crown made of gold alloys: These are made of a blend of gold, copper and other metals, ensuring a strong bond to the tooth that cannot fracture or wear away the tooth.
- Crowns made of base metal alloys: These are strongly resistant to corrosion and are very strong in general. They require the least amount of healthy tooth removal before placement.
The Making of Your Crown
Unless you are having a crown made on the same day, the making of a dental crown typically requires two visits. The tooth will need to be reduced in size so the crown will fit correctly, and then an impression will be made of the crown. While waiting for your crown to be made, a temporary crown is put in place. When the dental crown is ready, at your followup visit the crown will be cemented onto the affected tooth.
Caring For Your Crown
Since your crown is created to blend into your smile naturally, people around you will likely not even notice you have had a tooth replacement done. If you take good care of your crown by practicing consistent, daily oral hygiene habits, you can avoid the crown becoming loose or falling out. Brushing and flossing twice a day along with regular professional dental cleanings and checkups can keep your teeth (particularly the back molars) healthy and strong so your crown can last a lifetime!
If you would like to know if a crown is right for you, we invite you to give us a call and schedule a consultation with our dentist. We will be happy to help you and your smile today!

This is TELL ME MORE from NPR News. I'm Michel Martin. You've probably heard that the Supreme Court is set to rule sometime soon on an important case about affirmative action in higher education. We decided we wanted to find out more about the young woman whose name is on the case, Abigail Fisher. That's coming up later in the program.
But first we want to go back to a story that commanded so much of our attention last year - the shooting at a school in Newtown, Connecticut. It was a little over six months ago, and it was a day that at the time seemed like a game changer. Even President Obama, known for his cool, could not hold back the tears when he spoke to the country about it. Since then, though, the debate on Capitol Hill has moved to immigration. A plan to strengthen background checks for gun buyers and limit magazine capacities failed in the Senate back in April. And this time when President Obama spoke to the country, he seemed angry.
PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA: If action by Congress could have saved one person, one child, a few hundred, a few thousand, if it could have prevented those people from losing their lives to gun violence in the future while preserving our Second Amendment rights, we had an obligation to try.
MARTIN: But that got us wondering what some of the survivors of past gun violence and how they're reacting to the seeming stalemate. So we've called upon Colin Goddard. He's a survivor of the Virginia Tech shooting in 2007. Now he's decided to work full-time on the issue as an activist. He's campaigns manager at the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence and he was kind enough to stop by our Washington, D.C. studios. Colin, welcome. Thanks so much for joining us.
COLIN GODDARD: It's great to be with you.
MARTIN: Before we get to the politics of the debate right now, I did want to ask about you, if you're okay. You were shot four times at the shooting at Virginia Tech years ago, and I just wondered if you still think about it.
GODDARD: Yeah. I would start with, physically, I'm okay. I have a soccer game tonight in D.C. to play, I'm looking forward to. Mentally, it's been much more of a roller coaster I'd say. There are some good days, there are some bad days. You know, kind of the nature of the experience that you have with gun violence. You know, it's also very sudden, very immediate, and very traumatic so you don't, kind of, process the memories of it normally, and you store it in random places so there can be random things that, kind of, make you recall - very traumatic experience. And, you know, like I said, ups and downs...
MARTIN: ...A smell...
GODDARD: ...A smell, a sight, I mean, movies, I mean, you know, songs, even conversations. People say, oh, you know, God, I just want to shoot myself and then they look at me - oh, I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to say that. And it's like, you know, I understand there's, you know, figure of speech, but little things like that. But overall, you know, I found a way, you know, learning what I did about gun policy in this country and our current state - I found a way where I can take the negative experience that I had and try to put it towards something positive, and make a change that will help prevent other people from falling in the same situation I was in.
MARTIN: I was going to ask you about that - how it is that you decided to become an activist in this area, at least for this part of your life? I'm sure a lot of people would certainly understand if you decided to, kind of, finish your physical therapy and just move on and try not to think about it again. But by definition now because you are working in this area, you have to think about it. I wondered what was the - was there like a eureka moment, when you just - it clicked in for you that this is something you're going to have do right now?
GODDARD: Well, I had my, kind of, Newtown moment in April 3rd of 2009. The shooting at the Binghamton, New York immigration center was about two years after the shooting that I had been - I was involved with, and during those two years I had not watched the news of other shootings. I mean there was northern Illinois in 2008, and I heard about these things, I just couldn't bring myself to watch it.
And just how I naturally turned on the TV that morning when the Binghamton news story broke, I sat there in front of the television and couldn't turn away, and was flooded with all of the same emotions that I had from day one of getting shot. And now - and I had gotten to a good place, physical therapy, with my family, you know, two years later, and now I saw another group of 13 families on day one, going through everything that I had been through.
And by that point I - you know, my parents had naturally asked this question after their - you know, send their kid to college and gets hurt, like, how did this happen, why did this happen to my kid? That's a natural, you know, pursuit I think most parents would make. And in that pursuit, they learned about school policies, they learned about mental health, and they learned about the gun policies. And they educated me as to what they were learning, going through everything that they did through the Virginia Tech review panel, to the lawsuits, to things like that.
And, you know, what I learned that, you know, we don't even do a background check on every gun sale in this country, was just so fundamentally wrong in my opinion, that the kind of bucket - the drop that tipped the bucket over was Binghamton. And ever since that day, I've been working on this issue full-time, sharing my story full-time, with the goal of, you know, making sure we pass legislation to require a background check on every gun sale.
MARTIN: As you mentioned, the big push in policy for people on your side of the question seems to be for universal background checks. Why is that the priority?
GODDARD: For a number of reasons. I mean, background checks - I think, first of all, most people think we already do them on every sale and are kind of shocked to learn that we don't. I think there's the biggest kind of public support of it already. I mean, we haven't seen a poll with less than 90 percent of Americans supporting this policy however you break it down, from men to women, to gun owners, to left-handed people, to whatever. It's understood to be good policy, you know. It just makes responsible sense to know that the person who's about to buy a gun can legally do so. And the only way there is to really do that is to do a background check.
And I think there's also the biggest amount of political will. I mean, despite the bad headlines, you know, last month in April out of the Senate, we had a majority of U.S. senators vote in support of expanding background checks. We had six NRA-aided - NRA A-rated members vote in support of background checks. Today we have 182 co-sponsors of the background check bill in the House, I mean, more than I've ever seen since I started working on this.
So you know, despite the fact that, you know, that maybe the three major media TV outlets aren't talking about this on a daily basis like they were before, you know, I am busier now than I ever have been at this job. And we are so - there are so many more people now trying to get involved and wanting to help out and make their voices heard. So it's just a matter of getting to all those people and engaging them, in a, you know, positive way and making their voices heard directly to their elected members.
MARTIN: If you're just joining us, we're talking about the gun control or gun safety movement. We're speaking with Colin Goddard. He is campaigns manager for the Brady Campaign. He's a survivor of the 2007 shooting at Virginia Tech where he was shot four times.
When the legislation failed in the Senate in April, as it has so many times before, did you feel discouraged and how do you feel now?
GODDARD: That was a tough day, for sure. I can't lie about that. That was really tough. We, you know, I knew, kind of, a day before that the vote was going to be really close. You know, I just, I thought people in the Senate would vote their conscience - vote, you know, on behalf of their law enforcement officials, you know, vote on behalf of their constituents, not on the behalf of an industry. And it was disappointing.
You know, there was a lot of victims and survivors of gun violence in the gallery watching the vote go down that morning and one of them was Sarah Brady. And she immediately turned to a lot of the folks who had just got up and had this very, just lost look on their face and she said, you know, when we tried to pass the Brady Bill, which set up this background check system, it took six major floor votes. It took, you know, three different Congresses and three different presidential administrations. She's like, sometimes a good loss will do you some good.
And I've heard so many times since Virginia Tech, you know, if this shooting isn't the one that changes things or causes something to be done differently, I don't know what is. And I don't think there is a number of people or children that are going to get killed in one single incident that will do that. I think the tragedy that the American people needed to see was when a minority of politicians blocked the will of the majority, as they did in the Senate in April. And that was what woke a lot of people up, got a lot of people upset with this whole process and ultimately got a lot of more people engaged on this issue.
And as a result, I think has strengthened our movement, strengthened our resolve, strengthened our numbers, to get to the point where, you know, we will continue to do this. We aren't going away. We've changed the public understanding of this issue and like I said, 90 percent of people support it. Now we just have to clean up the politics.
MARTIN: But what about the fact, though, when you ask people to rate the issues that matter to them. I mean, one of the arguments that people make is, well, there are two arguments that people make on the other side. One argument that they make on the other side is they just don't agree with you that that's the right issue. They argue that it's something cultural, that it's something cultural about this country's relationship to violence. They argue that it's really a broken mental-health system that's really the issue.
But other people say that the intensity is on the other side, that people who prefer the status quo and they don't want restrictions on gun ownership and all these other things, that they are the - they have the intensity around the issue, that everybody else may agree with you philosophically, but they're not prepared to give it the hierarchy that the other side is. What do you say to that?
GODDARD: Well, I do acknowledge that the intensity has been predominantly on the, quote, other side, so to speak. But you know, our intensity is matching that. I mean, this is not like a light switch to flip. This is like a battleship to turn that takes over time. I mean, when we saw the vote fail in the Senate and then we saw senators who voted against it lose 15 percent point approval rating overnight. I mean, that was what we hadn't seen on this issue in decades. I mean, you know, we didn't even have a vote in the Senate in over two decades and the only reason we had this vote was because the American people stood up and demanded it.
And we wanted to know, you know, why - what people think about background checks. Why are you opposed to expanding background checks? You know, we deserve a vote was the refrain the president used, and that we took all the way through and ultimately got us that vote. You know, the intensity is being matched now and this is like, this is a long-term thing, like I said, not something that happens overnight. But, there are a lot of issues and, you know, we acknowledge that, you know, it was a setback in the Senate. But, you know, we're still putting a lot of pressure on switching those five members. We're now looking at the House, as well, to make progress there, as well as in state legislatures across the country. A lot of states have done good things.
MARTIN: You seem like a happy guy. I mean, you know what I mean, you mentioned that you're doing well physically and stuff like that. What's keeping you going? I mean, as you mentioned, this could be very discouraging for a lot of people. What's keeping you going? As briefly as you can, if you would.
GODDARD: Well, as much as when you hear a breaking news story, you just kind of want to crawl up into a ball and not talk to anybody about it, you know, 'cause you're going through, you're being retraumatized yourself. Ultimately, it strengthens your resolve, 'cause you understand that this is an issue that is literally life and death and making solutions - finding solutions to this issue, commonsense solutions, are going to save lives. And I know that this is good public policy. I know this is the right thing to do, and I know that we have changed the paradigm from if something will be done about background checks to when. I mean, it really is just a matter of time before the politicians catch up with the general American public.
MARTIN: That was Colin Goddard. He is a survivor of the Virginia Tech shooting in 2007. He's now serving as campaigns manager at the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence. And he was kind enough to join us in our Washington, D.C. studios. Colin, thanks so much for speaking with us.
GODDARD: Thanks for having me. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.

California Gov. Jerry Brown is receiving radiation therapy for prostate cancer, which his physician says was caught at an "early stage." The governor's office announced the news today, adding that Brown's work schedule has not been disrupted.
"The prognosis is excellent, and there are not expected to be any significant side effects," the governor's office quoted UCSF oncologist Dr. Eric Small as saying. Calling the cancer "localized," Small said that Brown is undergoing a short course of radiation therapy.
Brown is expected to undergo treatment through early January.
As member station KQED's News Fix blog reports, Brown, 74, had a cancerous growth removed from his nose in 2011.

When I was 9, my dad drew this picture of me. You will notice something on my left cheek — a little brown spot.
That's a mole. The doctor called it "a birthmark." My mom called it "a beauty mark." I was born with it. Having grown up before supermodel Cindy Crawford became famous, I was not familiar with the allure of beauty marks and, anyway, I'm a guy. My mom said it was hardly noticeable. I didn't believe her.
It didn't go away. Worse, in my mind it was growing bigger. In grade school, I worried that the mark on my cheek was the first thing people saw when they looked at me. I would look at photos of myself and I'd always see the dot first, me second. I was not even remotely a boy with a dot. I was a dot with a boy. That's me on the left. That's how I felt on the right.
Even much later, in my 20s, if I happened to be in the same room with someone with a birthmark on his cheek, I'd get enormously embarrassed. It didn't matter if the Dotted One was somebody I admired, like Richard Thomas, the actor who played John-Boy in The Waltons. One day, Richard Thomas came to NPR; he has a dot on his left cheek, just like me.
My friends knew of my, umm, problem; they arranged for me to pop in and say hi to Richard, whispering "Robert, you can do this ...," but when the moment came, I thought, oh no, two dots on the same cheeks in the same room — the world might explode! It was that bad. I couldn't go in.
Even when I was older and calmer, still I hoped my dot would disappear. It never did, but as the decades rolled on, it faded a little, and now I don't think about it much. But last week I heard the wonderful news about Jupiter, and my dot feelings came rushing back.
Jupiter is apparently experiencing the very thing I had hoped for, for so long: slow Dot Removal.
Maybe you saw the news?
Losing Your Dot Gracefully
Jupiter, the planet, is a cloudy, stormy place with bands of clouds moving at different speeds across its surface, but its most prominent feature sits just below its equator. You can see it in the photograph below — it's called the Great Red Spot, a ferocious "anti-cyclone" that blows winds counterclockwise at more than 100 kilometers an hour. It's been storming that way for centuries. What astronomers call a storm, I call a "dot."
When astronomers measured Jupiter's dot in the late 1800s, it was wide enough to fit three Earths comfortably, side by side, at 41,000 kilometers across. That's enormous.
But then, in 1979 and 1980, the spot was measured again, and mysteriously, it had shrunk. By almost half! To 23,335 kilometers.
As you can see from these subsequent dot photos (on the right side of the image) in 1995, 2009 and 2014, the dot kept getting smaller and smaller and smaller.
No one has a good explanation for what's happening, but it keeps happening. According to NASA, the rate of shrinkage seems to be quickening. It's now losing around 1,000 kilometers of dot every year. The last measurement, from Hubble telescope on April 21, was just under 16,500 kilometers across, "the smallest diameter we've ever measured," says Amy Simon of NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in Maryland.
Will it go to zero? Who knows. But oh, I hope so — for Jupiter's sake. Speaking as a Dotted One, dots aren't pleasant. I've read that as she got older, even Cindy Crawford, goddess of the Beauty Mark, had unpleasant thoughts about hers. It grew a little, and she worried. I don't know what Richard Thomas thinks because, as I've mentioned, we've never talked. But I do have little chats with Jupiter all the time. I'll look up at it in the early evenings, cover my dot with my pointer finger (so it can't hear), and I say, through gritted teeth, "lucky you!" And Jupiter (I feel this) — Jupiter knows exactly what I'm talking about. It's got to be totally pleased. One day, it will do a complete rotation and this thing on its surface will have — poof! — disappeared. And if planets can sigh, that's what Jupiter will do.

Are your eyeglasses streaky and smudged no matter how often you clean them? Try these tips to help keep them clear and smudge-free.
Make Rinsing the First Step
If you're watching your favorite TV show, you may not want to make a trip to the bathroom or kitchen just because you noticed a smudge on your glasses. After all, why miss a key scene when the bottom of your shirt will get rid of that smudge or smear?
Cleaning your glasses without any water can end up worsening the smudge or may even damage the lenses. Your shirt may feel perfectly smooth to you, but might actually contain rough fibers that can scratch your lenses. Clothing also tends to trap dirt. When you rub the fabric across your glasses, you not only transfer the dirt to your lenses, but also grind it into them, potentially damaging the glass or coatings.
Your glasses aren't the first thing you need to clean. Dirt and natural body oils will be deposited on your lenses if you don't wash your hands first. After you wash your hands, rinse your lenses under lukewarm water to remove dirt and debris.
Apply a Little Dishwashing Liquid
Place a drop of dishwashing liquid on each lens after you rinse your glasses. Gently rub the lenses to distribute the liquid on each side, then rinse them again. Stay away from dishwashing liquids that promise to keep your hands soft. These varieties contain moisturizer that will only worsen smudges and streaks on your glasses.
Glasses may look like little windows, but they're much more susceptible to damage than windows. Don't use window cleaner, ammonia or any other cleaning products you find under your kitchen sink to clean your glasses.
Clean Every Part of Your Eyeglasses
Do you focus solely on the lenses when you clean your glasses and forget about the other parts? Ear pieces and nose pads can retain body oils and may eventually smell a little unpleasant if you neglect to keep them clean too. The next time you clean your glasses, devote a few extra seconds to cleaning the frames, temples, arms and nose pads.
Rinse Thoroughly and Dry
Hold your glasses under a stream of lukewarm water to rinse every trace of dishwashing liquid from them. If you just quickly pass them under the water, you may notice streaks due to residue from the dishwashing liquid. Use soft cotton or microfiber cloths to dry your glasses. Microfiber cloths are often provided when you pick up your new eyeglasses. If you don't see a cloth in your new eyeglass case, be sure to ask your eye care specialist for one.
Paper towels, bath towels and other items may scratch your lenses and shouldn't be used to dry them. Although tissues may feel soft, they often contain rough fibers, just like your clothing. Drying your glasses with a tissue can also increase smudging if the tissue contains lotion.
Cleaning cloths eventually get dirty. Wash your cloth regularly to ensure that it doesn't transfer dirt or dust on to your glasses.
Use Your Case
Many of us place our glasses on our nightstands while we sleep. While this is certainly convenient, it exposes your glasses to floating dust particles. When your glasses aren't on your face, keep them in a hard case. The case will not only help you keep your glasses cleaner, but will also prevent damage if you happen to knock them off your nightstand during the night.
Proper cleaning techniques extend the life of your eyeglasses and help you enjoy excellent vision. If it's been a year since your last visit, or your vision has changed, give us a call. We'll examine your eyes, provide you with a new prescription and help you find the ideal frames to accentuate your face.
