|I recently purchased a(rebuilt) basic FoodSaver vacuum sealer that is a dud. After sealing two bags, it quits and has to rest for 20 minutes. It replaced a Sous Vide Supreme that came free with my Sous Vide setup and worked well for several years.
I am looking for possible replacement for the FoodSaver, I am tempted by the Weston 65-0501-W, which Cooks Illustrated rates quite highly.
I don't want lots of bells and whistles. Just reliability and a strong vacuum and seal.
Any suggestions?

|Foodsavers have warrantees ranging from 1,5,10 years to lifetime, depending on model. Doesn't answer your question but figured it worth mentioning.
|"-----which Cooks Illustrated rates quite highly.----"
One thing about Cooks Illustrated reviews, they can't review reliability very well. Which is the most important consideration for a food vacuum.

|I went overboard with mine, and I'm glad I went ahead and took the plunge. The Ary VacMaster Pro 305 is a heavy duty workhorse. I got mine through Web Restaurant Store via Amazon for around $250. It's comparable in price to the higher end FoodSavers. I've had mine for about a year and it consistently works well. I can seal a bunch of bags without having to shut it down to rest.
It's really heavy, seems to be built well. The site at the link has a lot of other vacuum seal stuff (bags in bulk, etc.) at reasonable prices. The VacMaster Pro 305 lists for $349 but is available at different places for around $250. So far, I'm really pleased with it.

Yes, I know Cooks Illustrated doesn't/can't evaluate reliability. I've seen that weakness in their evaluations before--when I had first hand knowledge of problems. In this case, I can't find anything on the smaller Weston 65-0501-W (the one I am considering), not even a single review on Amazon, although several are listed there. It must be new? I hope someone here has first hand info about it.
Arly, thanks for linking the VacMaster Pro 305. I am willing to spend this much, and this is (just barely) of a size I can store. The reviews I can find speak very well of it. I had also read very good things about Lisa and Vacuum Sealers Unlimited. Definitely worth considering.
The device listed below is listed on their site. Nice, thought-out design.

|Frustrating when they fail after getting all set up. Or start showing signs of it over time.
I posted earlier when mine gave up and read to soak the two long gaskets for a few hours.
It worked perfectly until they dried out. New gaskets are 8 bucks on their website.
Bought another while i figured it out...i'll take the old repaired one to the summer home.
Never again though. Sometimes stepping up in quality proves worth it for so many appliances. (not always)...just most of the time.
Love WEBstaurant, if that is what was mentioned above. Zippy shipping. And 'as described'. Never needed to deal with a return so not sure about that.
Not much help but report back your decision and how you like it.
-I now have a quality blender and restaurant quality coffee grinder...both fantastic.
I just spoke to Lisa at Vacuum Sealers Unlimited. As I have heard often, she is VERY helpful.
I wanted comparison info on the VacMaster305 and the 260. She gave that generously and also explained that, although she is a Weston dealer, she no longer sells Weston merchandise and could not comment on the Weston sealer.
She is also a sponsor of Smoking Meats Forums and offers a coupon good on purchases to members of that forum, which I will list below.
I am currently leaning toward the VacMaster for several reasons: Arly's recommendation, excellent reviews overall; bought through Lisa, great support available both at VacMaster's site and at VacuumSealersUnlimited. The 305 is an inch or so shorter and narrower than the less expensive 260, and since I will store it standing on its side on the counter, that is desirable. The 305 has a transparent lid that allows exact positioning of the film. The 260 stores rolls, the 305 does not. (I don't particularly care to store rolls because I believe that the automatic advance is more wasteful of material.)
Still hoping for word from someone who owns the Weston, though.

I missed your entry while I was typing the one above. I agree that sometimes it is best to upgrade. For me, this is one of those times. I'm good on blender and mixer, but still using the old Capresso bur grind coffee grinder. It is OK, but when it quits. . . .
I am curious. What coffee grinder did you choose?
I promise to post my vacuum sealer choice when I finally decide AND a follow up of my opinion after some use.
|For a vacuum sealer, generally is is a motor driving some gears to push a small reciprocating piston to draw air out thru a one-way valve.
Unlike a blender, It makes no difference in performance whether the motor is very powerful or not, as long as it is powerful enough to overcome 15 lbs per square inch of atmospheric pressure of the piston size.
In other words, a 1000 horse power motor will draw the same vacuum as a 1 horse power motor.
That makes sense. I assume it might take longer with a smaller motor, but the end result should be the same, given the adequate initial power. But can you please explain how this affects my choices?
Which vacuum sealer would you choose if you were I?--for reliability (I want lots), features (I know of many I want), cost (I'm flexible, but don't want to go much over $200), space (no room for one of the big ones), support (from dealer and manufacturer), and anything else you can think of.
And, for that matter which would you choose (NOT build!!) if you were you?
What would you recommend? And why?
This post was edited by Bellsmom on Thu, Jul 10, 14 at 16:58
|I brought that up because they mentioned the motor is 210 watts.
The way to test is, if you can get to try one out. Using the suction tube, you put your finger to block the tube, and if you don't hear the motor slowing down significantly, that will mean the motor is powerful enough.
The three components which fail most frequently are the valve sticking, the vacuum sensor fails or the heating tape burnt out. Since most makers of vacuum sealers are just assemblers of parts made in the Far East, how good a unit you can buy depends a lot on luck also.
I got mine (second hand unit) from Goodwill for $5.00. It has been in heavy use for 10 years. Still going strong.

|"...depends on a lot of luck also."
So true. And why researching a purchase can be frustrating. Estate sales/tag sales/thrift store finds can often be worth taking a chance for a few dollars. But that is just luck, finding what you want when you need it.
My grinder is the Bunn LPG. Brilliant. Took an hour 5yrs ago to set the proper grind and our preferred amount for one pot of coffee. One tap of the switch and it does just that.
A bit of luck indeed. Don't know where I can see, much less try out, either VacMaster or Weston. Guess it WILL be a coin toss.
Drat!! I much prefer making an informed decision rather than tossing a coin. Heads its VacMaster, Tails its Weston. GRRRRrrr and stink-eye (Thanks, Sleevendog for that useful phrase!), indeed.
|Just a general concept:
When you buy a new car, they always tell you to go slow the first 1000 miles.
The same with any appliance which has moving parts.
It will make a big difference on how long the appliance will last.
|Good guideline, Dcarch. I will follow it. Thank you.
I just SVed a beef tenderloin sealed with my current FS. It refused to get a really tight initial vacuum, and after cooking the meat moved around easily in the bags and pockets of air were visible in every package. Not acceptable.
I will probably place an order this afternoon. Hope someone who has hands on experience with a Weston will chime in.
Thanks again, Arley, for your sharing your experience with the VacMaster.

|Just t chime in - I have a modest foodsaver and it seems to be packing everything very well. It's a V2040. Hav only sealed about a dozen packages so far but I must say I'm very happy with it.
|Thank you, islay.
I have liked the performance of some of the basic FS vacuums (which I prefer to the bells and whistles models), but I hesitated to buy another since so many seem to fail after a year or so. My last one stopped pulling adequate air, and I really did not like having to freeze a whole SVed ribeye that was sliced into meal-sized sections and vacuum packed with inadequate suction so that a little air remained in each. Better than I could do with a bowl of water and a zip lock bag, I guess, but not good enough.
And then there are those like Dcarch who can use a thrift shop sealer for years with no problem!
Ah, well. I decided on the VacMaster because its good reviews on Amazon and elsewhere, Vacuum Sealers Unlimited's good price including a 10% discount and their excellent reputation for support. It is ordered and on the way. It is pricey, but I hope it will be worth it.
And I HOPE this is the last vacuum sealer I will have to buy. I will, as Dcarch suggested, break it in gently and treat it well!!
|Congrats on your decision! I hope you'll give regular reports as you learn its personality.

Increasing from 128GB SSD to 240GB-SSD but programs also installed on
I have a machine that I installed a 128GB SSD in May 2011. I use this a my boot drive with the OS on it but I also installed programs on a 1TB Sata drive D: to conserve space on the SSD. I would like to upgrade the SSD to at least a 240GB or larger price pending. My problem is that Windows Image wants to also use the drive D: as part of the image. Is there a way to just image the SSD and install that on the new SSD?
|My System Specs

You can use Macrium (free) to create images of just the SSD.
Imaging with free Macrium
Also, if you have a WD or Seagate HD you can get a free version of Acronis from the HD manufacturer site.
I use Acronis (paid), but I've tested Macrium free and it works well for me.
Macrium and Acronis allow much more user control than Windows Backup...

Hi there
as the previous poster says - it will work fine -- I've just done the same thing -- Samsung 128GB 830 SSD to Samsung 250 GB 840 SSD.
However I'd install both OS AND programs on the "C" partition -- just use the other drives for data (multi-media, documents, email, photos etc).
I'm running a decent Windows system including Ms Office professional, Visual Studio, full Adobe CS6 suite which includes of course photo shop CS6, a Multi media server program, VMware workstation, NERO, some DVD playing software and various other things. This all occupies less than 55 GB.
The advantage to separating OS plus pgms from data is that you can then restore either if the HDD or OS fails. For example in your situation even if the OS is OK if you were to get a problem on your HDD "D" you'd have to re-install your applications again.
Keeping the OS / pgms on a separate partition isolates them from user data and it's very easy to move / backup / copy the OS and also you can backup your DATA at times convenient to you --user data can be backed up in smaller amounts --if you have say 1 TB of data you don't need to back it all up in "One go".
Also by having the programs on the HDD you lose the extremely good benefit of being able to load an application up very quickly from the SSD when the program starts --for instance even on a smallish powered laptop my copy of Photo shop starts and is ready for use within 3 (YES THREE) secs of clicking the CS6 icon.
(Save the DATA / Layers etc to HDD but have the application on the "C" drive).

+1 Jimbo, I'd rep you if I could!
The only thing I'll add is if the OP is a Gamer, installing Games on a different HD/partition might be better...
I'm not a Gamer, but from what I know they can use a lot of space and don't benefit (enough) being installed on an SSD...

Games are another issue -- I'm not a gamer myself either. It's still amazing though how people don't realize that poor DISKS are usually the major source of frustratingly slow and poor PC performance. I've seen people install i7 processors and 32 GB RAM and still can't understand why they haven't seen SIGNIFICANT improvement - when they are still using old IDE 5400 RPM spinners.
If you MUST use spinners get one with the fastest RPM (certainly no less than 7200 - better 10,000 if you can find one of those) and with the largest CACHE you can find and make sure its SATA / e-sata --NOT IDE.
What Windows 7 and W8 do now is try and analyse your use of applications and data on your machine and using a very complex algorithm attempt to load into the cache area (a fast internal memory area in the disk controller) data it thinks you WILL need shortly. It takes a few runs of Windows before the data base is properly built up but once the DB is built it's pretty reliable. This data load is called "Pre fetching" and is loaded into the disk controller when the computer is not busy - for example waiting for keyboard input.
What then happens is that your application wants data - and if it's already in the cache (has been "pre-fetched") then the data can be accessed immediately without waiting for the HDD to physically rotate to the sector on the disk and then physically read and transfer the data.
With an SSD there isn't any rotation - but the prefetch is done anyway -- the algorithm keeps an Index of where the data is on the SSD which is just a sort of "External RAM". Decent prefetching reduces "Wear" on the SSD - but these days SSD's are just as reliable (if not more so) than HDD's and last just as long.
Nicely too -- prices are coming down reasonably -- my 840 Samsung 250 GB SSD was CHEAPER than the 830 Samsung 128 GB SSD that I'd bought about a YEAR earlier -- and you don't need to be a Lottery winner to buy the nearly 1 TB models on offer now -- although still expensive they'll be affordable I'm sure in a year or so -- so NO MORE SPINNERS except for my Media server where speed isn't important -- capacity is.
So anybody struggling through this post -- probably the BEST thing you can do to improve PC performance is to fit SSD's. Once you've done it you'll wonder why you didn't do it before and you won't be able to use a system which doesn't have any.
|My System Specs
|13 May 2013
Thanks David and Jimbo for suggestions. I am a gamer as noted, but I also do photo and video editing. So these programs are on the SSD. The other not speed important programs are on the esata d: drive.
I'll have to try Macrium program and see how it works. Waiting for a 240gb SSD to go on sale.

In game performance will be the same, but the "loading maps" part of gaming will improve greatly.

The Dolly Parton Long Blonde Wig is a great costume accessory of countryÕs musicÕs iconic queen (but not the first lady of country, that would be Tammy Wynette). SheÕs as much of an icon of fashion as she is of country music, as well. If you were going to go as one female country music star it would have to be Dolly Parton, wouldnÕt it? You might like June Carter more, but she doesnÕt exactly scream ÒMake a costume of me!ÓIn the immortal words of the Ms. Parton, ÒIt cost a lot of money to look this trashy.ÓDolly is a lady who knows whatÕs going on. As much as I trust her regarding the art of fashion, you donÕt have gone gold to look the way you want for Halloween. Just pick up the sultry good looks of the Dolly Parton Long Blonde Wig!
When it comes to country music, itÕs hard to be more beloved and more recognizable than if you wore the Dolly Parton Long Blonde Halloween Wig.

Five years after the collapse of Lehman Brothers and the onset of the 2008-2009 financial crisis, the U.S. housing market is at last starting to thrive. It has, in fact, been steadily improving over the past years, and that trend has only accelerated of late. Housing is widely perceived as a key ingredient to a healthy economy, and so the revival in the housing market has been heralded as a positive step for an American system that has been sluggish at best. Similar trends in the United Kingdom and parts of the EU are greeted as positives as well.
But is it? Housing is a key aspect of economic activity in most countries, but that doesn't mean that we should welcome a return to housing as a perceived pillar of national strength. And we should be very wary of any return to an ethos that sees either home ownership or housing prices as a barometer of individual and collective success. Those attitudes very nearly imploded the modern financial system, and they could imperil it again.
Homes are places where you live. They are not — and should never have been — investment vehicles. Yes, homes may gain in value and augment one's net worth, but the reason to own a home is that it can be a cost-effective way to obtain a place to live. The minute they are seen as investments, that reality gets perverted, with dangerous consequences.
There's no doubt that the economics of the housing market have been steadily improving. Foreclosures have dropped in half since their peak, from over 1 million in 2010, to a predicted 490,000 this year. Housing starts are up nationally, from a low of less than 500,000 in 2009 to close to 900,000 this year, and prices are up more than 10 percent over the past 12 months.
These national trends are neither evenly distributed nor certain to continue. The Northeast, for instance, has been weaker of late than the rest of the country. The recent spike in interest rates, triggered by the imminent Federal Reserve decision to curtail some of their aggressive bond buying, may dent the momentum as well.

I'd like to begin by expressing my gratitude to Tom and Julie Fassbender and all the volunteers, production folks, musicians, and attendees for another great Boats and Bluegrass. It was an amazing time. I was so happy to be a part of it both as a vendor and a spectator. It's a special event for Winona, and unlike any other festival I've ever been to. The weather was perfect, the music was spot on, and organization was impeccable.
October is filled with so much natural beauty and vibrancy. Like the squirrels gathering nuts ahead of the long winter, the people of Winona, are gathering experiences. Last of the year bike rides, hikes, camping adventures, and enjoying Ed's backyard with a brew.

I'd like to also make special mention of Jake Ilika's Wednesday Night Residency, as this month it comes to a close. Jake has held this slot for two years now, and even after moving to the TC he still, more often than not, made the trip down to Winona to play here every week. We've watched him grow as a musician, become an incredible performer, build amazing projects with other musicians, and successfully take the plunge into working as a full-time artist. In November he picked up a regular Wed. Night gig a little closer to home, so his visits will be a little less frequent. We congratulate him on this next step in his journey towards success, and look forward to a great month of finales this October!!!
Tuesday Oct 7th is HOPTOBERFEST and Ed's will host an IPA beer tasting, and you can vote for the IPA you'd like to see on draught year-round. We'll have 7-8 fresh kegs of some of the world's best IPA's to try in a blind tasting, scoring sheets, snacks and prizes. Last year Founder's Centennial IPA won the contest and has been featured at the pub on draught ever since. Previous winners include Summit Saga and Surly Furious. Who will win this year??? Stop on down and help us decide!
Once again, we'd also like to thank you all for all your support. Owning a business is sometimes a rocky road, with a lot of uncertainties and stumbling blocks, but when I stop down and see your smiling faces, when you come up to me really excited about the new beer you're trying, when you're getting down to one of the incredible acts playing on the stage, I realize the last seven and a half years have been so worth it. I've met some of the best folks that I've ever met anywhere at this bar. I'm humbled and eternally grateful that you choose us as your watering hole, whether you stop in a few times a week or once in a while when you're buzzing through town. I couldn't do this without you. We've built an amazing artistic community in Winona together. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you!
Ed, Nate, Sarah, Ian, Sam, Jonathan, and Aliza!

Christian Louboutin sure knows how to please a lady!!!!!! $1375
Something about this dress is mesmerizing… I am in love…would definitely wear this on the beach….
Must try this! awesome spring colors. Wouldn't wear this as a day look thought, maybe a evening…
Taylor Swift was born stunning….
For the spring, this look is a success. I am now on a mission to find a top exactly like this one!!!
Jennifer Lopez flaunting some jewelry…She looks great!
OMG! I am in love with this sweater dress. Something about showing off your back is so sophisticated and sexy at the same time…
Remember, not only is the spa relaxing and just plain fun!, (lol) But it is a big key for health in beauty within all people. Stress is a big part of illness and wrinkles and getting a massage, manicure, pedicure, facial helps to reverse these effects. So try to pamper yourselves as much as possible in order to gain the true glow of happiness. ^_^
Seriously..this woman is effortlessly beautiful!
Jennifer Hudson looks absolutely fabulous on the red carpet!
Off to the gym tumblees! I will be back later today to give you everything beauty and pop culture!
^_^ hugz
Love Victoria Secrets bathing suits!
Very Nice… the shoes and bag combo compliment each other fabulously!
BCBG 2011…need this dress in my life!

It is the policy of Christian Brothers University to ensure, to the fullest extent possible, that any student, faculty or staff member who is a victim of sexual assault committed on the campus or at a university-sponsored event, shall receive treatment, support and information. Victims of sexual assault will be encouraged to make full use of these provisions. Referrals for treatment will be provided, and ongoing support will be offered to victims. To protect the privacy of the victim, confidentiality regarding the name of the victim, except on a need to know basis, will be maintained.
Reports of sexual assault may also be viewed as sexual harassment. If an incident does not meet the definition of a sexual assault under CBU definitions, the events may still be considered under the sexual harassment policy above.
Reporting to the University
All reports of alleged violations of this policy will be investigated and appropriate disciplinary actions will be taken regardless of whether a police report has been filed. CBU will evaluate allegations of sexual assault and sexual misconduct and, when appropriate, take disciplinary action in accordance with Section 8 of the student handbook, the Compass. All complaints must be made within:
(a) one year of the date of the incident, and
(b) prior to the actual physical receipt by the respondent of the terminal degree from the university.
Reports can also be made directly to the Office of Campus Police & Security or the Dean of Students. If the alleged perpetrator is an employee, reports may be made directly to the Director of Human Resources.
Reporting to the Police
On-Campus Incident:
Call Campus Police & Safety immediately at (901) 321-3550, available 24/7. If needed, there are four (4) Emergency Phones on campus at these locations:
- Between Rozier and Maurelian residence halls;
- In Buckman Quad, between Nolan Engineering Center and Assisi Hall;
- In the Central Lot: one at the entrance to the lot, and one near the back of Assisi Hall.
In response, Campus Police & Safety will assist you by:
- Ensuring your immediate safety;
- Securing medical assistance as needed;
- Contacting the necessary law enforcement agencies;
- Preserving any evidence;
- Calling the support team you request, e.g. friends, family, the Counseling Center (321-3527) or the Memphis Sexual Assault Resource Center (272-2020, available 24/7), and appropriate university officials;
- Assisting you in making a written statement about the incident.
Follow-up procedures:
After the immediate safety steps have been followed, the student should decide whether or not to bring criminal charges against the perpetrator and/or file sexual assault/harassment charges within the university.
If the perpetrator is believed to be on campus, or is a CBU student, Campus Police & Safety will conduct an immediate internal investigation and determine if the accused needs to be removed from campus pending an inquiry.
Off-Campus Incident:
The student is advised to call 911 immediately. When returning to campus, CBU recommends that the student advise Campus Police & Safety and other appropriate University personnel (e.g. Director of Residence Life, Director of Counseling, Associate Vice President for Student Life) of the incident to assist the student in any of the procedures stated above.
Campus personnel who have been trained to help students through the proper steps including reporting/counseling/further referrals include the following:
|Dr. Timothy Doyle
|Associate Vice President for Student Life

NYU Picks Concrete Housing over Public Garden
New York University has big West Village (NYC) expansion plans. This garden has been slated to be demolished and replaced by concrete towers. I truly applaud the groups of people fighting them but, like Columbia University in Harlem, I bet NYU wins. I, along with many others, do not want them to win. This garden is amazing. I passed by on a 100 degree day and it was thriving and cool.

(Rated: M) In the Meadow We Can Build a Snowman
He hates this game. Words are hard and he's simply no good at them.
"Pianoist isn't a word." Rachel points out when he finally lays down his tiles after five minutes of studying and rearranging the letters.
"Sure it is," Finn protests looking from Rachel to her dad and then back again, "like Brad's the pianoist for glee club."
Rachel shakes her head no. "It's pianist. Brad's the pianist for glee club, not pianoist."
"Are you sure?"
Rachel nods and the taller Mr. Berry agrees, "I'm afraid Twinkle's right Finn, but you can still play using the word piano."
He thinks about giving the whole board a shove and watching the stupid lettered tiles scatter across the floor but he kind of likes Rachel's dads and there's food cooking in the kitchen that's making his stomach growl. He doesn't want to be asked to leave so instead he mixes the new tiles in with the old ones and tries to find a word that will get him out of last place. That's when the house phone rings, completely breaking his concentration.
"I'll get it," the shorter Mr. Berry says, pushing away from the coffee table they were all seated around and making his way towards the kitchen. "I need to check on dinner anyway."
Rachel lays down a triple word score and Finn realizes that he really, really hates this game. Luckily Mr. Berry pokes his head back into the living room and announces, "Finn that was your mother. She says the roads have gotten really treacherous and would prefer you not driving. I told her we'd be more than happy to make up the couch for you."
"Oh, um, thanks Mr. Berry," Finn replies.
He's kind of surprised. He's never spent the night at a girl's house before; Quinn's parents barely let him past the front porch much less into her room, but the road conditions mean that the snow's still falling and he has a pretty good feeling that schools will be closed come morning.
She wakes to the pale light of winter seeping into her bedroom through the crack in her curtains. Outside Lima has been transformed into a winter wonderland by twenty-two inches of snow. A plow rumbles down the street, scraping the road clean and she wonders if her father's were able to make it out to work. She tiptoes downstairs being careful not to wake Finn who's still asleep on the couch.
In the kitchen she finds a note from her father's and she can't help but smile at the thought of having Finn all to herself for the day. She sets about making a cup of peppermint tea, glancing over her shoulder once in a while to watch Finn sleep soundly, his oversized body curled into an awkward angle. When he startles awake she's taking her first drink of tea and she nearly spits it out as he jerks up and cries, "Dinosaurs!"
"It's just the snow plows," she chuckles leaning against the door frame that conjoins the two rooms. "It looks like you got your snow day."
He sits up, rubbing the sleep from his eyes with the back of his hands, and smiles. "What should we do first?" he asks. Before she can answer he gets a whiff of her tea and his eyes glaze over. "Smells good, what is it?"
She doesn't normally like to share beverages, germs can be detrimental to her vocal cords but their dating, and they've made out plenty so she assumes it'll be safe and hands him the ceramic cup. "It's peppermint tea."
He takes a drink, hissing when it burns his tongue. "Mm, good," he adds once he's recovered.
"You said something yesterday about sled ridding," she says turning the subject back to the weather and their snow day together. When he nods she continues, "When I was little we use to live across the street from Hover Park—"
"I love that place. The huge slope is great for sledding."
"Yes, so I've heard. Only I've never actually been because the older kids made it nearly impossible for some of us younger kids to have turns."
"You've never been sledding?"
Rachel shakes her head no and tucks a loose strand of hair behind her ear. "That's what I'd like to do first today."
He grins widely at her, his hair sticking up in different directions. She takes the cup from his hands and sets it on the scrabble game that's still laid out on the coffee table before enveloping him in a huge hug. She has a feeling that today's going to be very special.
Just a cute, fluffy little one-shot, In the Meadow we can build a Snowman is written by snoozin81. When it starts snowing Rachel's more concerned about implementing a snow plan for the Glee club than actually enjoying the snow, and it's up to Finn to make her see that snow is something you can have fun in.
While the story has an M rating, it's not really smutty. Not as much as some other stories are, anyway.

This is one of those songs that you hear after a long time and you just have to stop and take a minute to let that weird nostalgic feeling pass. It's disorienting, almost.
Really though, it's too late at night for me to be up thinking about old stuff when I've got so many other things going on right now. Just doing some blogging on a study break.

All About Trust
What is Trust? How do you build it in relationships? How do you know who you can trust? Trust is fragile. It can be hard to build but easy to lose. Trust is important in all relationships: friendships, families, romances, co-workers, etc. Relationships usually can't survive without it.
Seasons and Cycles
Life seems to run in seasons and cycles. Of course there are the four seasons of winter, summer, spring and fall. There are the cycles of the moon. There are seasons that revolve around specific sports. And unfortunately there is Tax Season. But what does that have to do with personal relationships?
Chocolate Chip Cookies A Love Hate Relationship
So youve had a bad day and you dont know what you can possibly do to make that bad day disappear from your mind. Suddenly you know you decide to have a chocolate chip cookie, but just one chocolate chip cookie; but which one? Cookies are a lot like relationships you have choices.
A Happy Ending
Who among us can say that they dont want a Happy Ending to everything that happens in their lives? We plot to reach certain goals, to have certain things, to find peace, love and understanding in our relationships. You are responsible for your Happy Endings, only you should control your choices!
Lifetime Movie Junkie? Whats the Title of Yours?
Are you a Lifetime Movie junkie? Do some of the characters remind you of yourself or someone you know? Do you think life imitates movies or do movies imitate life? What would the title of your Lifetime Movie be? Would it be upbeat and inspirational or a poor, poor pitiful me movie title?
Rivalries Healthy or Not? Go Steelers!
There are all kinds of rivalries. Some are healthy and some are not but they definitely exist. There are rivalries between siblings, between partners, between guys for girls and girls for guys, between cities like Pittsburgh and Baltimore and between teams like the Steelers and the Ravens and so on.
New Years Resolutions Alternative
In just a blink of an eye another new year will be starting. Every New Year we are prompted to make resolutions or promises to ourselves. We all set out with wonderful good intentions but often fail. Why not try an alternative? Throw all the balls up in the air and see which ones you catch.
A Greeting Card Collection
Can a Christmas Card or a Birthday Card be better than a gift? Im sure many people would answer that question with a resounding NO! My answer would be a resounding YES! No matter what occasion or what holiday is being observed or celebrated a card is a special remembrance of that moment in time.
What Becomes Of The Broken Hearted?
Why do some people end up broken hearted and what becomes of them? Are you one of them and if so why and what do you do about it? Its an overwhelming sad question. Are you wearing a sign that says, here I am, come break my heart or do you send invisible signals that make you a target?
Unforgivable Behavior
It is said that to err is human, to forgive is divine. Thats an interesting concept and a very open minded way to behave but Im not sure that its always logical. It seems like these days there are just some things that people do to each other that are unforgivable. Are you the culprit or victim?

Working in the construction field takes hard work, skills with large equipment and a careful hand. The machines that construction workers use every day can't just be treated as everyday work tools. They are extremely dangerous if anything goes wrong.
Many people have learned that lesson through experience, and a particular group of workers who lost a fellow contractor earlier this week got a scary reminder of it. A 40-year-old contract construction worker was killed in a Texas machinery accident.
According to reports, a group was working to dig a large whole for a construction job. To do so, the workers were using a common machine called a backhoe. Using large machinery like a backhoe takes training and practice. Even then, however, accidents happen.
In the recent construction accident, a worker was maneuvering the machine from outside of the cab and somehow got pinned and crushed by the machine. He died at the scene despite a fellow worker's success at freeing him from the device.
Sure, it is people who utilize and control machines, but when a safety protocol isn't followed or there is perhaps a defect to the machinery, the large tools can quickly take control of workers' fates. In this case, the victim didn't survive his workplace injuries. An investigation into the fatal incident should take place in order for officials to determine that the other workers involved with the Texas job are not in danger of suffering a similar fate.

I have been wearing this on and off since it was launched and it is only now that I really appreciate Touche Eclat. If you'd have asked me two weeks ago I would have said it was useless and a waste of money. I rediscovered my 'pen' after putting it in another makeup bag and wondered whether it would enhance my Cle de Peau concealer. I applied a little over the concealer and set it with Laura Mercier Secret Brightneing Powder and the results - WOW! I'm really impressed, I did a half face challenge and there was a visible difference - even my husband noticed and 3 hours later I'm still impressed! I will definitely re-purchase this. EDIT: Since I wrote this review I've discovered Givenchy Mister Light Corrective Pen which is sooo much better than this. I will never purchase another Touche Eclat again.

First of all, I love all the packages of YSL coz they're excellent. Radiant Touch is my first product of YSL and it really made me become a fan. It's light and able to brighten the discolored area such as nosewings and corners of the mouth without heavy makeup. Most of the time I carry it with me as a mini foundation with which I can fix makeup easily. But the only problem is you gotta clean the brush real good after application or else it smells like dog sh*t. XD Good product, worth buying, and it's not so expensive.
I'm allergic to this and had to return it. My skin started to ich after a few hours and then i got a rash that would not go away in like 3 dayes (even though I did not use it in those days). i hate this product. I also know that a some of my friends get really dry skin around their eyes from this, so it's not good for your skin. To much perfume also!
I do love Guerlain Perfect Light Smoothing Illuminator:) It's the best!
Love the product, hate the packaging. The brush is horrid to use, and can get a bit smelly/funky, I clean it after every use using cliniques make up brush spray but it still has a smell. The product, cannot be beat, I have tried other top end brands version, but nothing compares to the effect this product has. Also one last gripe is that you never know when you are going to run out, so in the middle of application you can find yourself stuck!
Love this product. When my skin is behaving(80% of the time) I can get away with wearing just this and mascara for a natural look. Not a true concealer but a highlighter which reflects light away from any dark circles. Do not use on spots it won't do anything.
While vacationing recently in the south of France, I noticed that other than subtly brightening the under eye area with products such as TE, chic Frenchwomen seem to do very little to try to hide their under eye bags/shadows. Yet, they still look good. Granted, they smoke and don't cover up in the strong Cote d'Azur sun, so although their skin is otherwise well cared for, their faces can be quite lined: Most seem to have under eye issues. STILL, they look great in their slim cut, chic clothing and minimal makeup. Since most do wear sunglasses, the under eye area tends to be a bit lighter than the rest of their lightly tanned skin. They looked so great and unencumbered by layers of fake (or natural for that matter) looking concealer that I've packed all my Bobbi Brown correcters and concealers away and will now try just brightening the area a bit with the peach colored TE#3. I hereby revolt and liberate myself from the settlesinthefinelinesmakesmymascaraand linersmudgeneedssettingwithpowderandfrequenttouchups
tyranny of under eye concealer! No more goopy yellow concealer to correct purple or blue under eye shadows--think about it--yellow + blue = green, and yellow + purple = gray! As for peach or bisque corrector? TWO layers of goop to fix the fact that the yellow concealer doesn't work? More $$$ for Bobbi, more time (and goop) for me to apply. No more loose yellow powder to set concealer that gets in my eyes and irritates them all day! Luv ya Bobbi, but peachy/salmony, sheer TE3 brightener is my new HG. Giorgio Armani Master Correcter in Apricot is a similar, excellent product that provides a little more coverage but less luminosity. Please note that TE #3 will oxidize and darken slightly within a minute or so of putting it on.
PS-To keep the TE applicator brush fresh, I wipe the applicator after each use with a tissue or cotton pad soaked with rubbing alcohol.

Le Touche d'Éclat is one of those items I wanted to love. My mother wears it and there's something mystical about that golden pen, a bit of elegance and you can sneak it anywhere (even my jeans pocket when I go out), however there are thorns in this rose, yes it's fluid and you can apply it over makeup and powder but longwear... nope, also I think it enhances the fine lines under my eyes a LOT more than if I put nothing on and it also gives a gray/green tint to my circles after a couple of hours. I prefer La Prairie's a lot more.
The only reason I didn't give it 2 lippies is because it's a wonderful highlighter for your nose bridge and lip area. I prefer the older shades from many years ago, they would double as concealer and highlighters and now you can only use it as the later.
2 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I snatched one of these on Ebay from all the MUA reviews but was some what dissapointed. The color match was decent and it smells nice, is packaged well. But the actual product is a cross between a highlighter and concealer and some how it just does a half assed job of both duties. It's too thin to be a decent concealer and too matte to be a good highlighter. I initially used it to lighten and even areas under my eyes and nose but now I've gone back to using concealer because I can tell after I have lived or sweat at all it immediately runs off. Not worth the pricetag.
If I could leave the house with only ONE item in my purse, this would be the one. Smack this puppy under your eyes, on any blemishes, and you're done! Of course, I usually use it over my other concealer/foundation/face makeup, but by itself, it'd be great too. Light coverage, but a great color. Really makes me look awake and kills the dark undereye circles that have plagued me my whole life.
My only gripe is that the brush that's attached to it starts to smell bad if you aren't really good about keeping it clean. That's kind of icky, if you ask me. But paired with a regular rinse with my Mac brush cleaner, it's good to go. My color is #1.

I always include Touche Eclat in my Make-up drawer. It is really useful for sweeping on the cheekbones for highlighting. I have heriditary dark circles and I use it sometimes to conceal them. The fluidity of the product provides smooth application without dryingt or caking. But for concealing dark circles I always use Bobby Brown's kit. That is the best and I think I can attest to the fact that I've tried every concealer on the market.

The use of military force against Iran would be very dangerous. It would be very provocative. The only thing worse would be Iran being a nuclear power.Rudy Giuliani

The power of duly appreciating little things belongs to a great mind; a narrow-minded man has it not, for to him they are great thingsRichard Whately
Delude not yourself with the notion that you may be untrue and uncertain in trifles and in important things the contrary. Trifles make up existence, and give the measure by which to try us; and the fearful power of habit, after a time, suffers not the best will to ripen into action.Carl Maria, Baron Von Weber
When indignation takes possession of his mind - and it is easily excited - his disposition becomes malevolent. He hates with the bitterest contempt. But as soon as he has indulged those feelings, he regains the humanity which he had lost - from the immediate impulse of provocation - and repents deeply. So that his mind is continually making the most sudden transitions - from good to evil, from evil to good. A state of such perpetual tumult must be attended with the misery of restless inconsistency. He laments his want of tranquillity and speaks of the power of application to composing studies, as a blessing placed beyond his attainment, which he regrets.Annabella Milbanke
I do not wish to give up the power of personal arms and be defenseless against those who will ever and always keep and bear arms those in crime and those in government.Robert W. Burke

A Lack of Education Due to Emotional and Mental Issues
A totally tough element in the equation of the adoption of older children is how tough it is to get them through school. Long range plans seem to not compute, deferred gratification is an elusive concept when they simply do not want to go to school. School is very hard for one thing. My children's track record for school attendance was horrible during foster care and even worse when they were still living in the difficult circumstances into which they were born. They were moved from foster home to foster home and through various shelters; never staying long enough to comprehend that school should be a daily affair. They find my insistence on non-truancy to be stodgily old-fashioned; a quirk from my own square Leave… [more]
A Broken System
I dare anyone who has adopted older children from the system to read this article. It is horrifying and totally realistic. It's the same story I've heard from so many parents, and it's been lived out here within our own family as well. "Over the years the three have been diagnosed with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, obsessive compulsive disorder, bipolar disorder, narcissistic personality disorder, affective attachment disorder, post traumatic stress disorder, reactive attachment disorder, oppositional defiant disorder, and schizophrenia." These are words I have learned to live with over the years. Many labels could have been avoided in my children had their birth parents not been given so many chances to let the children down with false promises and inabilities to follow a case plan, choosing… [more]
Dealing With Mental Disabilities
Parents who've adopted older children usually bemoan the obvious – the lying and the stealing behaviors. To tell you the truth, I've learned to live with those behaviors early on while doing my best to redirect them. I've seen progress but it has taken years. The children who did not lie and steal were nearly revered by me. The majority of children in our family do not lie or steal, that's the good news. What I've found terribly difficult to cope with all these years has been the emotional and mental illnesses. All of my children were hurt in their childhood before adoption in one way or another and all of them were emotionally bruised, physically scarred, or damaged in some way that cannot be… [more]
Severe Emotional Problems in Older Adopted Children and Foster Children
As soon as I heard the news regarding the teen shooter, I wondered to myself if he'd either been a foster child or been adopted as an older child. I quickly tried to blow off that thought as paranoia on my part, having lived so long with children described like him. Yet reading these words today on a CNN site sent chills up my spine. "Todd Landry, director of the Nebraska Division of Family and Children's Services, described for reporters the laundry list of residential treatment centers and group and foster homes where Robert Hawkins spent much of his teen years, because of his behavioral and psychiatric problems. He also had two psychiatric hospitalizations, and has been diagnosed with attention deficit disorder, mood… [more]
Moving Into a Psychiatric Hospital
I heard the traffic reporter on the radio today claim that she was too blessed to be stressed. I ran the words through my head over and over until I realized that in spite of my very bad attitude lately over the huge battles I've fought in getting mental health services for my kids, I feel the same way. Just physically making it through each day ought to be indication enough for me, adding in all the other outsides stressors and challenges, but then meeting each one head on, often with a pretty good resolution, reminds me of how blessed I really am overall. I spent all day today again in my truck moving my seriously disturbed son from a crisis respite center three hours away to a psychiatric hospital… [more]
Struggling With My Perspective on Life
I'm trying to keep my life in perspective as I wade through defiant, mean children while juggling an admittance to a psychiatric hospital, not for me but for a son, realizing another son got locked up last night for not having car insurance, and learning that a friend of mine has an inoperable mass on her liver. That absolutely stops me in my tracks. My problems here will someday cease, and will certainly ease up at some point, but my friend is battling for her life. I need to get a grip. My kids will hopefully overcome most of their issues before the next century and make something of their lives. It's just a long, hard road to get there. This time last year I too was… [more]
Mental Health Facilities for Children
I'm a little cowed by the fact that several of my children have needed to live somewhere else in out-of-home placements. I could not meet their psychiatric needs within the confines and limitations of our family home. No one but a psychiatric facility with a staff and PRN medications would be able to keep irrational, violent children safe from themselves. The safety of others must also be considered. This side of life has shocked me in such an abject manner. I would not have knowingly adopted children for which this was to become an issue, yet I since I did so, unbeknownst to me, I feel a huge sense of responsibility towards them as well as the sadness of unreturned love… [more]
Seeking Residential Psychiatric Help
After nearly two months now in two different psychiatric hospital placements, my son was discharged yesterday as they are both considered short term facilities. Even if it is obvious that our family's safety would be jeopardized by having him come home, it's basically tough toenails. Deal with it. I've spent eight weeks now, sending emails queries and making phone calls, hunting for the next tenuous solution. I've been here before with a significantly disturbed child, two kids of mine actually who have little hope for a good future as their choices are so limited. I've documented all attempts. I've found that I have to prove what I've tried to do, how many ways in which I've sought help. My frustration level has radically mounted. People… [more]
