This morning, a middle-schoolish looking kid cut across Santa Cruz Avenue in front of a SamTrans bus. Not a super-close call, but the bus had to put on its brakes.
As I drove past the kid (wearing a helmet, of course!) he was obliviously jabbering away on a cell phone.
It's never a good idea to rely on the attentiveness of other drivers to keep yourself from getting killed.

How can you get children to stop when adults do it too? I've seen more and more people riding bikes while talking on cell phones. How do these people brake? When will the cell phone madness end? What could possibly be so important that you need your cell phone to your ear 24/7? I think people are addicted to cell phones just like people are addicted to nicotine.

State Sen. Joe Simitian has proposed legislation (SB 33) that would make it illegal for drivers under 18 to use cell phones or other wireless devices while driving, even if they use a device's "hands-free'' option. The bill passed the state Senate in April.
Do you think there should be a law prohibiting cell phone use while riding a bike? Should there be a special law for those under 18?

I'd say that someone needs to give these kids a talking-to, but I can't convince my own mother to put down the cell phone while she's on a bike.

My wife and I were looking for a nice, romantic place to stay for our annual "Valentines Treat". Normally we look for the nicest suite in a local hotel, this year we discovered the Lasalle. We booked the "Sion Suite", and although it was just a little higher than our usual one night budget, we were certainly happy with the room. Very, very comfortable king size bed, and when they say it is a "double" whirlpool, believe me it is MUCH nicer than what we usually find listed as "2 person" jacuzzi at premium hotels. Even the fireplace, although electric, was an unexpected bonus, since it will take the chill off in the winter in about 5 seconds. And upon check out, although we weren't really planning on it, we enjoyed a very pleasant breakfast, and some unexpected engaging conversation from a very interesting gentleman (the proprietors father? I think he was a current or retired IPFW professor? sorry, I'm bad with details like that...). All in all, a very pleasant experience, one we will repeat sometime in the future. I should also point out that we booked the most expensive room, so I think that this is also an excellent value for whatever your particular budget.

My husband and I chose LaSalle for our anniversary weekend, and stayed in the David Foster room. There was a bit of a mix-up with our chosen room, but it was straightened out quickly and before our arrival. When we checked in, we were greeted with a sweet anniversary card from the innkeeper, as well as a gigantic bar of wonderful-smelling soap as a gift. The room was very clean and beautiful. My only complaint is that there was a stain on the bed spread (I'm not sure what it was, and the sheets appeared clean otherwise). The TV setup was also a little weird - they provide Netflix, which I thought was great as my husband and I love to watch movies together, but the only way to control it was by a mouse connected to the TV. So every time we wanted to change something (pause, search, etc) we had to get up. The shower in our room was amazing (it was one of the reasons we chose this room); so many different settings and jet options! My biggest complaint was that breakfast just wasn't very special. The food reminded me of your standard hotel hot continental breakfast. It was okay, but I was really expecting more based on the description and pictures on their website. Overall though, this was a very nice place to stay.
3,4 en julio 27, 2012
The rooms were comfortable and clean, and the bathroom with the large tub and whirlpool jets was exceptional. The sleeper sofa was very comfortable, because the inflatable mattress (easy and fast to operate) can adjust to the sleepers' comfort level. (Be sure to deflate the mattress before folding the bed up!) My only issue was that we didn't have extra clean towels provided the second day. However, we knew the own/operator was recovering from a surgery and had temporary help.

The room we stayed in was absolutely gorgeous and the staff was so polite and wonderful! There are many fast food places to eat around the area and the convention center is really close by! I hope to return in the years to come!!

I stayed at the LaSalle this past June, 2012, and had a delightful time. I had privacy, but help whenever I needed it. I spent a majority of my time at the library two blocks away, which was the reason for my visit, and I couldn't have asked for a better base of operations. The Hosts were very friendly and most helpful.

Had a friend's wedding down the street and decided to stay at LaSalle. It was a great place and a very convenient location.

:Liked staying here, as it was comfortable, clean, and very conveniently located for our genealogy work. Just a block away from the library. Hosts were very congenial.

Our stay was outstanding! We stayed in the Africa Suite. In the morning, I had horrible static cling in my hair after I blow dried it, so I went upstairs seeking help for my naughty hair. The owner's daughter gladly dipped into her own hair products and helped me with my dilemma. Such wonderful service, and I am truly grateful.

Stayed on June 21-22. The Anthony Wayne suite was very well appointed for our family of five. The breakfast was delectible and the atmosphere is very quaint. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a place to stay in Ft. Wayne. Clark and Rose-Aimee are great hosts. I will definitely be coming back again!!

This is a great location if you are attending an event in downtown Ft Wayne. It is right by the TinCaps baseball stadium, the Library, downtown restaurants, and the West Central Neighborhood. The Rivergreenway is very close, so bring your bikes, or rent them from the Bike Depot just north of the river. The check in should have been simpler, but the staff was friendly and helpful. For being right on a main street, the room was pretty quiet. The bed was very comfortable, and the spa shower was really a nice touch that we haven't seen before. This is a pair of old homes and retains the old beauty, but could use some maintenance on the outside to make it easier to get around.

Rose and Clark have won our hearts. We have stayed at the Inn once and the Sion House once. Both experiences were wonderful, leaving us thankful to have met such a wonderful couple. The Sion Bass Suite, in particular, was so lovely: a king sized bed with gorgeous bedding awaited us. The double jacuzzi was fantastic, and Rose ensured there were various bath salts, soaps and shampoos available, as well as plush towels and robes to use. The fireplace in that suite is electric, with a remote control for ambiance and temperature. In the entry foyer of the Bass House is a Kurig coffee maker and large fridge stocked with beverages, making for easy late night self-service. Breakfast is taken in the house, with the ability to eat at the large dining table with your hosts or at your own cafe sized table in an alternate private dining area. All the place settings are thoughtful and lovely, and the food was delicious. Rose started us off with chilled raspberry sorbets as Clark set us up with water, European strength coffee and orange juice. We were then served fresh multi-grain waffles with jam, butter and syrup as options. This was finally followed by small broccoli/tomato omelets topped with brie and served with a grapefruit half. Satisfying and DELICIOUS! I would definitely recommend a stay with the Butlers, whether out of towner or local resident looking for an in-town romantic get-away. My spouse and I will definitely be returning again...

I stayed here for almost 3 months in the Provence room if I remember clearly. Roseaimee and Clark are one of the best people I have met. They take very good care of their guests and are very helpful and family like. Would love to go here again,

Nothing stood out as being outstanding, but the price was reasonable, and there are several restaurants and such in walking distance.

This B&B was amazing! We stayed in the Sion Bass House, in the Anniversary/Honeymoon suite for our 4th Anniversary. We were very please with the room, the hospitality, the location, and the decor! Our room had a double jacuzzi which we took full advantage of! I recommend this B&B to everyone!

"Do you have our rewards card"? That's what you'll hear when you call or check in to a typical chain hotel. But what does that reward card really get you? You may receive a free night stay after you spend a certain number of nights at the hotel or after you spend a predetermined amount of money. Other than that you get nothing. The La Salle and Sion Bass Bed and Breakfast with House Spa doesn't have a reward card and doesn't need one. Staying at either one of these historic homes is a reward in itself. Filled with elegance and charm the rooms and suites here offer what the chain hotels cannot – beauty, individuality and reasonable prices. The amenities at the bed and breakfast are numerous. Many of the rooms feature double Jacuzzi tubs. Most hold small refrigerators and a small PC and complimentary easy access wireless internet. Free, off street parking is also a huge plus. Above all the rooms are comfortable. Soft sheets, beautiful bedding and comfy pillows make this a home away from home. Top it off with incredibly friendly innkeepers and a fresh breakfast including tea, coffee, juice, toast, eggs, crepes and a fruit smoothie, (there are other offerings as well), staying at the La Salle and Sion Bass Bed and Breakfast with House Spa is the only way to go in Fort Wayne. These historic homes are an easy walk to the Allen County Public Library, home of the largest public genealogical collection in the US, The Firefighters Museum, Foellinger-Freimann Botanical Conservatory, Parkview Field and many other attractions. We are looking forward to our return trip to Fort Wayne and absolutely plan to stay at La Salle and Sion Bass Bed and Breakfast. Shanon and Dan Chaput

We wanted to stay somewhere that was a 'home from home' and close to the local College. We were not disappointed, Rose Aimee and Clark treated us like family. Our 2 week stay was in the Hollywood Suite which gave us a living and kitchen area that gave us the option of preparing meals. None of this would have been possible in a hotel. I would recommend you take a look at the rooms available in the new Sion Bass House. This has recently undergone renovation and the rooms are luxurious and worth the extra if you are celebrating.
3,2 en octubre 28, 2011
There was some mis-communication, which did get sorted in the end. Would have been better if the owner had after hours contact details to support her customers. Room was extremely well appointed. Breakfast was just adequate and below average for the US.
Respuesta del propietario
The miscommunication is that, while we told these guests like all guests to dial zero on their room phone if they need anything, unfortunately in this case the guests did not do so when they had difficulty operating the TV, and said the next morning they did not know or notice there was a telephone in the room. We are sorry that our communication did not serve its purpose.

Cyndi MyersWhat a great experience and beautiful!!! Lots of antique furnishings, Great bed...rooms, linens, etc. The owners are fabulous, warm and friendly. The strive to make you feel at home (and they succeeded). The breakfast was amazing, from the home-made raspberry smoothies to the asparagas frittata! Next time we are in Ft. Wayne, we will be staying at LaSalle Bed & Breakfast for sure! See More .

We stayed in the Sion Bass room for our fifteenth anniversary, and loved every minute of it. After staying there, I can't imagine ever staying in a hotel room for a getaway night again. The rooms are beautiful, Rose and Clark were extraordinarily accomodating and helpful (we had problems figuring out the Netflix), it felt so much cleaner and brighter than a hotel, we have never had crepes better than hers, and absolutely loved our conversation with her over breakfast. We felt as though she welcomed us as family! Everything about our stay was a treat, and if we have friends or family looking for a place to stay in Fort Wayne, we will definitely be telling them about LaSalle Bed and Breakfast! Melanie Odle

I recently got married in Fort Wayne and we had the entire wedding party stay at the Bed and Breakfast. We reserved all of the rooms and they were very helpful in helping configure all of the rooms with our guests. We stayed in the Honeymoon Suite of the new Sion Bass portion and it was amazing, they really did a great job. We had a wonderful Jacuzzi bathtub and there was a common area -- with a bar, couches, chairs, and wine-glasses/tumblers -- for our guests to enjoy after the rehersal dinner and after the wedding. All in all the staff was very helpful and Rose-Aimee did a wonderful job helping to make our wedding weekend unforgettable, she even put out fresh flowers of our wedding colors and made crepes for our Sunday breakfast. If you are getting married in Fort Wayne, there is NO BETTER PLACE TO STAY than the honeymoon suite of this bed and breakfast. FURTHER, I recommend you have your best man and maid of honor and others reserve the other LUXURY rooms in that house (all the rooms in the Sion Bass are really well done and well worth it.) Thanks Rose-Aimee!

EXCELLENT alternative to traditional downtown hotels. I am sure we will stay again.
4,2 en julio 27, 2011
Any time I go to Fort Wayne, it provides an excuse to stay here! Like visiting a friend's home. "Attic" singles require mountain goat climbing ability, however. Not for people with weak knees!
4,4 en julio 26, 2011
My husband and I rolled into Fort Wayne at about 11:00 P.M. Rose-Aimee was waiting for us and very attentive, assisting us with our bags and getting us settled into an absolutely beautiful room. The accommodations were pristine. The mattress in the Henry Lawton room was particularly comfortable. The innkeepers were very pleasant the next morning. Breakfast was adequate but not fancy. The only negative is that parking is limited and situated in the rear of the facility. Still, all in all, it was a delightful stay and we will definitely return if we are in the Fort Wayne area again!
3,8 en julio 26, 2011
Stayed overnight will attending a Tin Cups game. We picked this facility for its close proximity to the venue. This was our first time staying at a B&B. After this experience, we would do it again.
4,6 en julio 10, 2011
Stayed in the West Africa Suite, and it was great! The room was just the right size for two people, but could sleep at least five comfortably. Unfortunately we didn't have time to stay for breakfast, but we did get the chance to take a peek around the place, and we will be coming back...loved it!

La Salle B&B is a friendly, economical location a short 2 block walk from the Allen County Library, frequented by genealogists world-wide. Furnished with lovely antiques there are several grades of rooms from suites to single room, all furnished with antiques. The French hostess provides a delicious breakfast. Free airport transportation is included. The B&B's own library and free internet service provide an excellent place to review your research notes in the evening. There is onsite parking and plenty of nearby eating places from fast food to full service. Special packages are offered for genealogists.
4,2 en julio 07, 2011
My friend and I recently returned from a trip to the Reynolds genealogy collection at the Allen County Public Libray in Ft. Wayne. The LaSalle is the ideal location for the library and local restaurants. Rose and Clark habe added a new assistant who cooks a nice breakfast and is so personable.Lookingforward to the opening of the Sion Bass house just next door which is decorationed beautifully. (We got the pre-opening tour)

The room was very nice and the owners were friendly and helpful. I would have enjoyed more choices for breakfast in advance. Not handicap accessible and the back stairs could be difficult for some to climb, especially with heavy suitcase. Overall this was much nicer than a sterile motel room. The lcoation in downtown Ft. Wayne was a big plus, as I could just walk to restaurants.

Perfect for our needs - we parked when we arrived and could walk to all the places we needed to visit.
4,8 en junio 11, 2011
Excellent bed and breakfast value. Breakfast alone was worth the price. Clark and Rose as well as David made our stay by being their friendly selves and providing a safe and happy environment for our genealogy research at the wonderful Allen County Library. The suite we stayed in was clean and well apportioned and allowed us to conduct our business in a very quaint and large room. Loved our experience and would recommend to all who love meeting people and staying in a home full of history.

Fort Wayne was our stop coming back from Niagara Falls. For anyone doing research at the Allen County Public Library, this is the place to stay. The owners are great people, full of energy, stories and will do anything to make your trip better. The house is extremely clean, I am all for cleanliness and everything was great. Next door they are planning on opening a new spa and bed. Had a tour from the owner, it will be fantastic. Breakfast was wonderful. This is great for anyone. Especially those trying to get away for a while.

I loved the cozy decor in the Africa Suite! It was perfect for a bachelorette weekend getaway! Located a few minutes from downtown Fort Wayne! So minimal travel to nearby restaurants! Very reasonable prices, very cozy beds and very clean place to stay! Delicious homemadebreakfast in the morning included with the stay! Wonderful and very friendly hosts! Starbucks just right behind the B&B! I loved my stay, would highly recommend this B&B and hope to go back in the future!
4,2 en mayo 18, 2011
You can't beat the La Salle's location and convenience if you're doing family history research in the Allen County Library. It's little more than a block away. Rose and Clark were delightful hosts with interesting stories and vast knowledge of the Fort Wayne area. Their breakfasts were creative and tasty, the room was cozy and quiet, and the restaurant recommendation - Henry's - was just about perfect. I hope to return the next time I go back to work on genealogy.

Good Value for the Money. Owners were friendly and helpful. Great location in the downtown Fort Wayne area. Starbucks right behind. It will be even better once the get the new building completed and online.

Each room in the house is unique, charming and full of character. My husband and I had planned to stay 4 nights and instead stayed an extra night we so fell in love with the Butlers and LaSalle House. The breakfast's are wonderful, the company was grand and we enjoyed ourselves immensely. We plan to visit the new B&B that they are opening next door summer of 2011-The Historic Sion Bass House. We plan to recommend this Bed & Breakfast to one and all!

I wonderful gem tucked away in Fort Wayne, IN. I recommend staying there whether you are passing through or looking for a cheap, fun way to get out of your house for the night.

Very nice owners - Clark and Rose-Aimee. David, the manager, is very friendly. Enjoyed my extended stay here - the suite was well-furnished.
5 en mayo 02, 2011
We come into Fort Wayne on business twice a year, and always stay at La Salle. Rose Aimée and Clark are the perfect hosts: professional, yet extremely warm and thoughtful. The bedrooms are lovely, the gathering spaces elegant and comfortable, and the food is to die for. The location is convenient to the local YMCA, so I can even get in a workout. In the warmer months there's a nice route to run, down to the park near the St. Mary river, complete with paved paths and trees and waterfowl; very idyllic.
5 en abril 07, 2011
LaSalle was one of my first experiences of staying in a bed and breakfast and Rose Aimee and Clark welcomed me and made me feel right at home. The rooms were clean, service was good, location is perfect in downtown Fort Wayne, safe for families and the breakfast is good, value for your money. I recommended LaSalle to quite a few of our friends and all of them liked and enjoyed their stay here.
4,4 en abril 06, 2011
It was a very nice time. Hosts are lovely to talk with. The location in Fort Wayne is by interesting things to do. Thank you!
4,4 en abril 06, 2011
Rose and Clark were wonderful hosts. Being able to listen to their stories and actually be around Rose's childhood keepsakes in the room made for wonderful atmosphere. We were able to stay two nights and having access to a kitchen was great. Next time we stay we are going to utilize it more. I can't say enough about the hospitality and warmth we received while we were there.
4,8 en abril 06, 2011
My wife and I stayed the night here during our honeymoon. The owners were very kind and courteous, and breakfast was great the next morning! I highly recommend it as a neat place to get away from everything, right in the middle of downtown Fort Wayne.
4,0 en abril 03, 2011
Was pleasantly surprised. Innkeepers were pleasant and helpful. Enjoyed my stay and felt so comfortable that I didn't need to lock my room when absent. Will definitely refer LaSalle to my friends and return with the rest of my family. Rose-Aimee and Clark, thank you for making my vacation wonderful and stress free!
4,6 en marzo 16, 2011
This was a lovely and relaxing stay in a home-like atmosphere. If you are uncomfortable or unfamiliar with living in very old buildings, this is probably not for you - drains tend to be slow, outlets aren't always conveniently-placed, etc. However, I find such surroundings to be charming, and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay here.
4,6 en marzo 01, 2011
Hi, We stayed at LaSalle after purchasing a Groupon for a 1-night stay. It was a GREAT experience! This was our first B&B stay, and we loved the room, the house in general, and especially loved getting to chat with other people during our amazing breakfast. We will definitely be back!
3,4 en enero 25, 2011
Staying the the LaSalle B&B was a delightful experience, one that I look forward to repeating. The conversation at breakfast was stimulating and they made me feel so welcome. Rather than being confined to a sterile motel room, I could choose among pleasant social areas to relax or research. I appreciated their flexibility, too. Being a block away from the Allen County Public Library is the best factor.
4,4 en enero 20, 2011
Upon arriving we were upgraded to a private suite to have more privacy per the innkeepers suggestion. The value we received for the money was worth it! The innkeepers were extremely kind and helpful. We would definitely return!
4,2 en diciembre 19, 2010
We were doing research at Allen County Library so this was a perfect location for an overnight stay. (Walking distance) Rose-Aimee and Clark's hospitality and service was warm and accommodating. Breakfast was delicious. The Inn was very clean which was surprising since everywhere you turn there were all sorts of artwork, literature, and antiques from their many travels throughout the world. I found this so interesting and had my stay been longer I could have taken better advantage of this feature. The stairs would be my only negative... climbing stairs to get almost everywhere was challenging. Over-all...a very interesting and very European experience.

A nice home in the Fort Wayne downtown area. We enjoyed a late night chat on the raised deck. Slept very well and the breakfast did not disappoint. Lots of antiques (which we enjoy). A different type of B&B than we have every stayed in. Had smaller bedrooms, quaint dining area and sitting room. We felt like we were overseas so it became an adventure of sorts.
3,8 en noviembre 08, 2010
We enjoyed our night at the LaSalle. David and Mr. Butler were very accomodating hosts. We very much appreciated the upgrade that they made to our room assignment based on my wife's allergy. It was also fascinating to hear stories of their travels that evening. I believe we have found our spot when we need a quick weekend getaway.
4,4 en octubre 16, 2010
My husband and I needed a last-minute place to stay for a night, and found the LaSalle. It was fantastic! The room was beautiful, the bed comfortable, we had our own bathroom, and the breakfast the next morning was entertaining and wonderful. I recommend this B&B absolutely, and have already suggested my in-laws stay there when they go to Ft Wayne for family functions. Sarah Snowden

We had a wonderful night at LaSalle B&B. The owners were very nice, even leaving us flowers and homemade brownies, as we were celebrating our anniversary. We stayed in the Hollywood Suite and really had an enjoyable stay.

I stayed for 3 months in Fort Wayne and most of that time was at the LaSalle B&B. What a wonderful place! The rooms are nicely decorated and extremely comfortable. The owners, Clark and Rose-Aimee bend over backwards to make your stay a perfect one. They were so nice and friendly....I felt at home immediately. Normally the extended stay rates do not include breakfast, but Rose-Aimee often invited me to eat with them and the food was fabulous. What a good cook she is! It was a home away from home and I look forward to staying there any time I am in Fort Wayne. As a matter of fact, I would not consider staying any where else!

I stayed in this B&B on business for 10 days. It was the middle of winter, cold, snowy and icy. The owners are exceptionally accommodating and friendly. Renee even welcomed me with a bottle of very good wine. I stayed in the Africa Suite. A large suite with separate bedroom. Kitchen was stocked with all the necessities and the room was very comfortable and warm.

Stayed for 3 nights (end of Feb) while in town for the ft. wayne showdown at the convention center. A nice walk to/from the dancing. It was my first ever stay at a B&B-Thanks Clark for the hospitality-It was also a nice escape away from the daily pace of life/and the convention. Just like visiting a relative's house. Looking forward to staying again next year!

This guest rented a suite with an independent kitchen for a week, without breakfasts. There was no dining to be good, bad or indifferent!

This Bed & Breakfast is in a very large, old house with narrow stairways and dozens of small rooms (pantries, bathrooms, bedrooms, etc) It took me a day before I could get around without getting lost! Books and bookshelves are everywhere. The owners are exceptionally nice. We had to do a last minute lunch and birthday party (20 people) at the Inn. The owners were very accommodating in offering their kitchen, plates, and refrigerator. It felt like we were visiting a relative. Like many B&B's in Europe, you are staying with someone in their house. I like that.

BEGIN:VCALENDAR VERSION:2.0 PRODID:icalendar-ruby CALSCALE:GREGORIAN BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20180120T113239Z UID:49066 DTSTART:20090409T000000 DTEND:20090409T000000 DESCRIPTION:
compactspace\, Los Angeles is proud to announce the
final weeks of Repeat Until\, a group show of photo and v
ideo-based work by artists Merve Kayan\, Michael Trigilio\, Ruben O
rtiz-Torres\, Mauren Brodbeck\, Kael Greco and Gretchen Me
rcedes curated by fellow artist Glenna Jennings.
Repeat Until takes its inspiration from Mierle Laderman Ukeles' Maintenance Art Manifesto\, the titular loop command foun d with Pascal computing language and simple acts of doing and doing again. The artists' subject matter\, ranging from wall fans to hole-ridden sweater s to stand-up comedy\, comments tangentially on architectural structures\, commercial products and/or repeated performances that participate in or evo ke labor\, time and/or thought-intensive reverberations. The cumulative pro duct is a whimsical investigation of micro-economies that flourish and lang uish within vortexes of market demand and personal leisure.
< br />Repeat Until is the first group show in compactspace 's new downtown location. compactspace is an international artist collective affiliated with its sister space\, compactlab\, in Gene va\, Switzerland. This innovative organization\, previously located in LA's Pico-Union district\, has recently re-located to historic downtown LA\, wh ere they promote a multi-media arts program that mainly features emerging a nd mid-career artists. compactspace LA is made possible by the contributio ns of the University of California San Diego's Visual Arts Department.
Merve Kayan's two-channel video "Work" serves as t he nexus piece\, investigating the poignant connections between a family-ru n sweater darning shop and an auto mechanic whose mannequin restoration bus iness segued into The Chasers\, a band of automatons that play anything fro m Barry White to Kenny Chesney. The Turkish filmmaker carefully montages im ages punctuated by synthetic and organic hands -- limbs that perform action s out of either necessity or impulse\, bodies that engage in rhythmic chore ographies out of both economic need and leisurely fascination.
The Ends\, a collection of six short videos by internationally exhibiting a rtist and professor Michael Trigilio\, is a "meandering th rough understandings of conclusion\, impermanence and unraveling." Showing in the gallery's backspace storeroom\, Trigilio's looped sound and image ex ist in dialog with circuitous performance\, reflection\, monotony and other secondary manifestations of invisible labor vs. manifest spectacle.
A new video by Ruben Ortiz-Torres offers a comical g limpse of the interfaces existing among hierarchical labor\, spectacle and the museum as storehouse and showcase. Gretchen Mercedes i nvestigates the relevance and output of marginalized locations with her pho tos of the Australian outback and a Wyoming ranch. The large-scale images o f Swiss artist Mauren Brodbeck portray public spaces\, lik e the iconic American Storage building in LA\, with the artists' own adapta tions and revisions\, questioning the relationship between the public and t he personal.
In conjunction with Repeat Until.\ , compactspace is proudly exhibiting the work of UCSD graduates
Kate Barclay and Katie Herzog in our store<
em>space and officespace. We are also debuting our new collec
tive\, Community In-sourcing Bureau\, with the piece Last
Flight over Guantanamo.

Says even though they lost, its positive in the locker room due the fact they were so undermanned. Mentioned that Ed's performance is no surprise to him, as he has been playing agaisnt Ed since 9th grade and knows what he is capable of.

stay strong my brothers, there may yet be sightings of greener pastures...
Very true.At this point for this team, the simple act of coming together and losing with dignity is no small feat.
Is this type of effort a one-night only thing or will it be sustainable?
Hey on Friday's game if when the Raptors lose to the Mavs, even if we don't score 100 points give the fans the pizza slice, after all our record is gonna be 4-20.
Some observations from the game:
- People don't show up to games on time anymore. I have no idea how many tickets they sold to this game but it look liked about 1/4 filled by tip-off. It was much better by the 2nd quarter.
- I hate the loud music at these games. The intro was terrible. Why use the song "Give It Away" by RHCP? Foreshadowing the game? Cuz they sure did give it away, in the 3rd quarter.
- Brooklyn Nets are pretenders.. they have no front court. Come playoff time they're gonna suck. Also, they're very sloppy.
- Things were going well for the Raptors in the first half, and then either Brooklyn made adjustments in the 3rd quarter, or the Raptors went to hide. Either way they were going inside to Jonas and Ed in the first half and it was working great, and then in the 3rd they just stopped. Completely stopped.
- I was joking with a friend about what Avery Johnson was telling his team at halftime. "These guys have 4 wins. Come on now." would probably have sufficed.
- Pietrus was terrible.
- Deron Williams has mad, mad ball skills. Just sick. I think the guy is a dick and I hate him for being the cause of Jerry Sloan's retirement, but I would trade the whole team for him in a heartbeat.
- I'm sure you saw those dunks by Terrence Ross. He's not exactly the most creative dunker but man, they were pretty awesome. The ferocity alone is worth watching.
- I don't know what the cheerleaders are doing/eating but they have 'grown'. They have larger, um, 'fronts' than I remember. Okay, I'll just say it -- their boobies are bigger than they used to be. Also, the asian cheerleader. I dunno.. this seems odd to me. She's pretty, but up growing I don't recall any asian parent of any one I knew that would allow their daughter to do this. She should working at a library, or volunteering at the hospital. THat's what all the asian girls were doing when I was growing up..
- Aaron Gray has butter fingers and makes me angry, but not as angry as why he's even out there. Jonas playing with 5 fouls is still better than Aaron Gray.
- I just wanted to remind you guys that Golden State, who narrowly beat us on a coin flip to get a better draft pick than us is 15-7 this year. They just beat Miami last night. They are 5-0 on their current road trip. We just went 0-5 on ours.
- DeMar Derozan sucked.
- Sometimes I read about how we came really close in a game and then blew it later on. I never got the sense in this game that we were going to win, even after we'd opened it up to an 11 point lead. The Nets just seemed like they were, honestly, toying with us. They're not even that good a team to be talking about toying, but I got the sense that they just wanted to make sure they could stay within.. oh, 10-15 points because that's pretty easy to break down when you have good 3 point shooters against a team that can't defend the perimeter due to too much helping. And that's exactly what happened. It wasn't that we played good D (although it was decent), but that they were just being lazy. I think Joe and Deron had like a combined 10 points by the half.
your pal,
Funny how when you put Jonas with Davis out there all the defensive problems Jonas was causing by himself seem to miraculously straighten themselves out. Ed Davis must be the second coming of Bill Walton....

In TOS it was suggested that the Klingon and Romulan Empires were in the Beta Quadrant, but by DS9 they both seem to be in the Alpha Quadrant. Plus if both those empires were in the Beta Quadrant, how would they be so close to the Federation to the Alpha Quadrant, to the point that Federation Starships can easily travel to both the Klingon and Romulan home worlds. So what exactly is in the Beta Quadrant?

Beyonce Cancels a Concert Due to Illness, So Now Everyone's Sure She's Pregnant
Beyonce added fuel to those pregnancy rumor fires (rumors being vehemently denied by those close to her) by cancelling a concert in Belgium today, May 14, due to a combo of dehydration and exhaustion.
In an effort to appease fans, the show was rescheduled and old tickets will be honored at the new show, so at least there's that.
Meanwhile in, ZOMG BEYONCE IS PREGNANT! land, everyone is saying being tired and thirsty is merely a weak cover for being knocked up.
Bey also has a show tomorrow, but according to her rep, she's "awaiting word from her doctors before making a decision" about whether to cancel that as well.
Still other conspiracy theorists say Queen Bey just has other obligations, like a rumored arrival on the Cannes Film Festival red carpet (she's been spotted on its schedule). Could this plot get any thicker? Or more ridiculous for that matter?
Jay Z and Beyonce Knowles will be attending the Cannes Film Festival premiere for The Great Gatsby on Wednesday #Cannes2013

"There's a lot of beautiful women in here." 27-year old Grammy-winning R&B superstar and Los Angeles-native Miguel Jontel Pimentel went from releasing sleeper hits to hits that listeners probably won't be sleeping to—if they ever make it the bedroom, that is.
With well-crafted music that drips gorgeously thanks to his honey-toned vocals and electrically-charged eroticism that would make Prince blush, Miguel shines a sultry sonic beacon on the music industry, all of it hidden behind a shy smile and killer style.
"I'm going to let you all get it all out of your system. Go ahead," announces AMP Radio's Michelle while women throughout the audience scream and reply back to everything Miguel does and says.
The crowd wouldn't stop cooing as he performed songs like "Strawberry Amazing," "Sure Thing," and his Grammy-awarded Best R&B Song of the Year, "Adorn."
When Michelle asks Miguel about what artists he would love to collaborate with, the sexy singer who grew up listening to classic rock thanks to the influence of his father names off heavyweights like Jack White, Florence Welch, and Kanye West.
One girl in the audience screams repeatedly, "Collaborate with me!" before she gets Miguel's attention. With a coy smile, the witty musician retorted," How so?"
"They have a lot of plans for you. They have you booked up," laughed Michelle.
There's a lot of ways the women at the Red Bull Sound Space at AMP Radio would love to have a meeting of "minds" with Miguel, but part of his recent wave of success has come from more professional endeavors.
He's collaborated with the likes of Wiz Khalifa, who Miguel repeatedly calls "cool. " He's also riding high on the sincerely appreciative announcement of musical peers like Kelly Clarkson after his amazing set at the Grammy Awards.
Miguel performed at the Grammy Awards after learning earlier he had won a Grammy. Afterwards, he not only earned the "genuine" respect of Clarkson, but stayed up two days partying with his friends and family in celebration of his achievement.
His fans were also on his mind; Miguel says the "life-changing" experience couldn't have happened without his fans.
"It couldn't have happened without the love and support of everyone because it started out as an underground thing," said Miguel, referring to his years of making music and flying under the radar. "It is just really incredible and definitely the whole year kind of flashed before my eyes."
Sort of like a Kaleidoscope Dream–which is the name of his album out now on RCA Records.
–Nadia Noir, CBS Radio Los Angeles

Formula One supremo Bernie Ecclestone has blamed political in-fighting as one of the reasons behind a lack of a venue to date for this year's German Grand Prix.
Under the rotational system it shares with Hockenheim, this year the race should be taking place at the Nurburgring on July 7.
However, the Nurburgring has endured severe financial difficulties in recent times, at one point narrowly avoiding bankruptcy last year.
The knock-on effect has naturally led to a stalling in negotiations with regard to the hosting of this year's event.
On two occasions this month Ecclestone has said the race will not be held at the Nurburgring because of financial issues.
The fall-back position is for Hockenheim to play host this year, but according to Ecclestone, therein lies further difficulty for the 82- year-old.
The two circuits come under the auspices of different automobile associations in Germany, who pride themselves on staging a race known as the 'German Grand Prix'.
"It's all a little bit political, with different political groups fighting each other," Ecclestone explained to the Press Association.
"You have the AvD, one club there that looks after the Nurburgring, and the ADAC, another club, which looks after Hockenheim.
"The Nurburgring is where the race should take place, and the AvD say unless they can't do it then it can't take place.
"We've said to them we don't have to call it the German Grand Prix this year, we can call it the Grand Prix of Europe.
"It's all a bit messy. At the moment the race is on-off, on-off, but we're doing our best to get it sorted.
"We'll try and make it happen."
If Germany drops off the calendar there is the possibility of only 18 races being staged this year from an originally hoped-for 20.
With Germany in doubt, there also appears no viable host for the free race date of July 19-21 as Turkey was due to return, but has since fallen by the wayside.
The likes of France, Portugal and Austria have all been mentioned to fill in, but it now seems highly likely there will be no race that weekend.
If Germany also goes, F1 would find itself in an unusual position of staging just one grand prix in eight weeks in high summer, that in Hungary between the British and Belgian races on June 30 and August 25 respectively.

Dang Airheads are always thinkin. Great idea having a tech day at the meet. We usually have an informal one on how to get a swapmeet bike running or how to disassemble one with a hammer and a screwdriver. And you can always pitch a tent in the pig barn if it looks like rain. And there is always some pie-like substance available. I say pie-like cause I got a bad memory, there is desert.
I guess I'll go again this year ... If you all promise to buy all of my parts so that I don't have to take 'em back home again and if both days are sunny and if it is not really windy and if the temperature stays above average.
Hate to say it, the forecast looks good. At least for selling.
Partly sunny at the open, but soon clouding over
Growing prospects for showers in the afternoon and evening. Mainly southerly winds 12 to 24 mph and gusty.
A good deal of cloudiness, mild.
Southerly winds may become southeasterly in the afternoon, limiting warming at lakeshore locations and restricting temperatures there to the 40 and low 50s while inland locations reach the 60s.
Partly sunny, breezy and turning milder, particularly away from the Lake Michigan shoreline.
Southeast winds becoming more southerly inland locations in the afternoon and strengthening 8 to 18 mph. Stronger south to southwest winds take hold Sunday night. Inland highs reach the low 70s while immediate lakeshore areas may hold to the mid 50s to low 60s.
Wezul, I hope your forecast holds. That would be among the nicest weather I've experienced at the Expo.
Sounds like the nicest weather forecast I've heard for this meet. Due to some recently developed issues with my /5, I will not be able to attend. Makes me sick because of all the great deals I will be missing.
That's Tommy Skillethead for the Metro are, close enough for jazz, right?
We do not say Chicagoland here, this is not an amusement park.
Uh . . . . . . yeah, isn't. Seriously
That is warmer than most years though right?
About time, too.
Alrighty then, likely I'll see you all up there
Nice day for a ride
Thank you to all the vendors and traders who showed up, makes it
Nicest weather I can remember in all the years I've attended
Even managed to find a steering stabilizer for my R90/6! (For a good price)
Had a great time and glad I mad it out for camping. About the best weather I can remember for this meet. Airhead central was a cozy spot to relax and enjoy the cool evening breeze. Airheads outdid themselves again.
Yep. That is the most fun that I have had in Pecatonica in a long time. Almost as good as when Edgar Winter Group played there in 1972 with Rick Derringer. No, maybe even better than that. Thanks for all the good conversation and camaraderie and helping to empty some of my boxes of BMW parts.
My boyfriend has very wisely decided he needs to build a cafe racer. So who is going to bring us an airhead suitable for the project? I can bring a trailer. Really

3D Glasses: Can They Have Universal Appeal?
While 3D movies have been doing blockbuster business in theaters, for some potential viewers the idea of wearing (and buying) expensive, uncomfortable 3D glasses at home has all the appeal of Carrot Top/Pauly Shore double feature.
The 3D glasses you wear at home aren't the cheaper, lightweight passive glasses used by most movies theaters in the U.S. That technology, developed by RealD, polarizes light from a projector, clockwise for the right image, and counterclockwise for the left image; the glasses have circularly polarized lenses so each eye only sees its intended image. While the passive glasses are incredibly cheap, theaters need to be outfitted with a polarizing modulator and a silverized screen to maintain the polarization. While a few companies are experimenting with passive polarized TV - Vizio, for example, recently demonstrated one at a New York trade show and said it would start selling them early next year-they're generally more expensive to manufacture than the current sets, and there are questions about performance given the lower (1920 x 540 per eye) resolution.
Instead, the current crop of 3D TVs relies on active-shutter LCD glasses provided by the TV manufacturer. In addition to being pricey-about $150 or more per pair - and somewhat bulky, the glasses only work with the same-brand TV. But by the fall we should see the first "universal" 3D glasses that can work with most major-brand 3D TVs. Two companies, XpanD and Monster Cable, are leading the charge with 3D glasses they say will be out in September. While they aren't going to be much-or, in Monster's case, any - cheaper than current models, they will be lighter and a bit more stylish and, if the manufacturers' claims are to be believed, they will outperform current 3D glasses. If so, it's not hard to imagine the day when toting a pair of 3D glasses to a friend's house is as common as bringing a six-pack of beer.

After two days of fishing on Lake Dardanelle, Cathcart and current partner Tanner Jones are in position to win the tournament with a two-day total of 32.09 pounds.
"Austin kind of holds a warm spot in my heart," TBF National youth director Mark Gintert said. "He's a good kid and no matter what's going on, he's always got a smile on his face."
Cathcart is among five Arkansas River Valley teams to automatically qualify for the finals with a top-10 finish. Cathcart and Jones of Pottsville High School (PHS) placed second, followed by Baylee Linker and Jake White of Dover High School (DHS) who placed fourth (32.0 pounds),
Cody Chassher and Tara Miller of DHS came in fifth (30.10 pounds), Devin Baxley and Cameron Nesterenko of Arkansas SAF came in seventh (28.02 pounds), and Jeffery Roberts and Jonathan Dotson of DHS took the 10th-place spot (27.09 pounds).
Top-10 teams automatically earn a place for themselves in Saturday's finals. But teams who finished 11-20 Thursday must compete against not only each other today, but also anglers in the consolation bracket to survive.
Only 20 teams will fish in the finals on Saturday — the top 10 from the semifinals, plus a combination of 11-20 and the highest-scoring anglers from the consolation round.
Ginhert said if an angler in the consolation bracket breaks into the top 20 based on weight, they may climb back into the tournament's championship round — and bump someone else out.
All anglers will start from scratch today, as all scales will be zeroed out. One good day of fishing can mean the entire tournament to someone in the consolation bracket.
"We do that sort of as an equalizer," Ginhert said. "Some people say that since this tournament is in Russellville it gives the people from this area an edge, so we do this to level the playing field, so to speak."
Bailey Britt and Jarod Keith, who traveled from Louisiana to compete in the tournament, said the so-called "home lake advantage" was nothing a good angler couldn't overcome. Still, the set-up puts some added heat on the fishermen who placed in the bottom half of the semifinals.
"It's a little tough fishing against the people from here," Britt said. "But if you know what you're doing, you can be just as good."
The River Valley will be well represented in the semifinals. Besides the top 10, three other teams earned a spot. The brother team of Josh Dugger and Jake Dugger finished in 11th and hauled in 27.06 pounds for Arkansas SAF.
Kendall Goates and Matthew Burnett of Dover placed 16th with 23.15 pounds, and Andrew Higby and Zackery Willis of Dover came in 17th with 23.05 pounds.
Boats will set off at 5:30 a.m. today. The consolation round weigh-in will begin at 1 p.m. and the semifinals weigh-in at 3 p.m. at Lake Dardanelle State Park.

I think the reason these mom n' pop shops pre-bake the pies is to keep all of the cheese and toppings from shifting in transit, although I haven't really considered how the pre-bake affects the crust. maybe someone more experienced (like Tom) can comment on that. Also, if anyone is interested, here is the website of the mom n' pop that I bought frozen pies from. http://www.carbonesonrandolph.com/carbonesonrandolph/HOME.html Not sure if anything there can be of any use.
Thanks for the replies guys. As far a par baking goes, how far along should it bake? I do NY style with usually 6-7 minute bake. So do u think 2 minutes would be considered par baked? What would be the best way to wrap the pies up before freezing them. I won't be using a commercial freezer so I would think they would need to be wrapped pretty well to prevent freezer burn. Tom, for the Freshetta technique, do u think a dressed skin with a 30minute rise would be good for a NY style would be ok? Thanks again guys!
i do it all the time with a lou malnatis style, i cook them about 95% of the way- i just dont let the crust or cheese get too brown but other than that its a fully cooked pie.according to a lot of people it tastes even better the second bake. i used to wrap in plastic, then vac sealed for a while but now just use foil, it makes it much easer to reheat.look at the lous frozen that are shipped in the mail, they are just in those pie tins with the cardboard top, not much to that either. lately i have been freezing detroit style too , people say there really good but i feel it still needs some work. the four round pies in the back are gluten free and those have turned out fine as well according to my gluten free freinds.
With Toms Freshetta method, I can see the skins sticking to the plastic wrap. Would I have to spritz the plastic wrap with some cooking spray?

Segura feeling good following infield practice
By Joe DiGiovanni / Special to MLB.com
MILWAUKEE -- It's looking more likely that Jean Segura will be in the Opening Day lineup for the Brewers on Monday when they face the Atlanta Braves.
Segura, who is nursing a sore right shoulder, took about a dozen grounders at shortstop and made strong throws to first base before Saturday's exhibition game against the Kansas City Royals. He then made several strong throws to second.
"He feels like he can go," manager Ron Roenicke said.
"I'm definitely more positive and he is, too. "He feels good. He looks happy about it. He was pleased by what happened today."
Segura will be examined by team physician Dr. William Raasch on Sunday, and will repeat his work at shortstop. Segura also will practice hitting when right-hander Wily Peralta pitches a simulated game on Sunday.
"The medical side wants to make sure we are doing the right thing," Roenicke said.
The Brewers must make a final decision by 2 p.m. CT on Sunday whether to include Segura on the Opening Day roster or place him on the disabled list. If he does go on the DL, the team could back-date his injury and Segura only could miss five games.
Gallardo armed with nasty hook this spring
MILWAUKEE -- Opening Day starter Yovani Gallardo says he feels he is throwing his curveball better than ever.
"Best I've thrown it, to be honest," the Brewers ace said before Saturday's exhibition game against the Royals.
Gallardo, who throws mainly fastballs and curves, went 0-2 with a 3.98 ERA in six starts this spring.
"When I was behind in the count, I was throwing it for strikes, which was my main goal," he said. "I'm very happy with it."
Gallardo said he was up for the challenge to face the potent Braves lineup on Monday.
"I'm more excited for myself to go out there on Monday and get the season underway, especially after the year I had last year," he said. "It wasn't the year I wanted to have, but that's in the past."
The right-hander said he wanted to pitch 200 innings this season, a year after going 12-10 with a 4.18 ERA.
"If you are able to do that, then everything else is going to fall into place: Wins, strikeouts," Gallardo said. "I was frustrated with that [last year] and just not being able to be consistent. I'd have a couple good starts in a row, then fall out of place for the next two or three. Then have one good one. Too many ups and downs."
Roenicke managing lefties' duties in bullpen
MILWAUKEE -- The Brewers have three southpaws in the bullpen to start the season, but manager Ron Roenicke says only Zach Duke will be used as a left-handed specialist.
Will Smith, acquired in the offseason deal that sent Nori Aoki to the Royals, will be counted on to pitch in late-inning situations, Roenicke said. Wei-Chung Wang, 21, selected from Pittsburgh in the Rule 5 Draft in December, will be a long reliever.
While Duke likely will face mostly left-handed hitters, Smith and Wang will be counted on to pitch entire innings.
"Smith, we're going to pitch in high-leverage innings," Roenicke said. "The better he does, the more high-leverage they're going to be. But he's going to be getting out right-handers, too. I don't see pulling him out because a right-handed hitter is out there."

" Brand: Neutrogena / Subcategory: Lotion / What it does: Cleanses / Product line: Neutrogena Visibly Clear "
* Prices may differ from that shown
My spots are still annoying me and every other cleanser I have tried did about zilch. So after finishing off my garnier wash, I looked around on boots for something that might actually WORK.
This was in the offers section and as I wasn't sure about neutrogena wave I got this for about £2.60 down from £3.99. I have tried neutrogena before- their 2 in 1 face mask/wash was quite good- so I thought this would be worth a try.
You get a large bottle (I think it's 200ml) of green runny liquid promising to clean deep, get rid of excess oil and help get rid of spots with cucumber and tea tree, which I know helps fight spots, and the cucumber meant it smelt quite nice. All you have to do is put some onto cotton wool and wipe your face. So I did just that the same night and waited for it to do its magic.
I woke up with a clearer forehead (YAY!) but the skin on my cheeks and near my temples fell weirdly itchy. In the mirror I saw the skin was flaking and really red. My skin has never been dry, always combination or oily never ever dry so my normal moisturiser just didn't calm it down (body shop) but the new neutrogena lotion did (I can't remember the name, the one that goes down 10 layers of your skin) which was quite ironic.
That night I just applied the lotion to my forehead, used amie cleansing lotion for the rest of my face and it hadn't irritated my forehead and my skin was just about back to normal.
I don't really like this but it WORKS! yes it's a hassle using 2 products every night and the reaction wasn't nice but I will still try other neutrogena products. Because I only need to use it on a small area this bottle will last me ages so it works out really cheap. It cleans, works on spots but didn't strip my forehead of moisture making it more oily. And the fact it doesn't smell like paint stripper as a certain avon cleansing lotion did is a plus.
I've tried a few different skin regimes in an effort to get rid of those nasty spots that I really should have grown out of by now. Neutrogena's products always sounded good on TV, so when I finished my normal toner, I gave this one a go.
The bottle is a nice size for a dressing table, with a handy flip lid and a narrow aperture to make sure you don't accidentally take too much, so a bottle would last you a good while if you continued to use it (which I didn't).
The product makes a lot of promises, claiming to keep pores clear, and fighting spots, improving your complexion and tightening your pores. It wasn't bad, my skin felt clearer after a few uses, and whilst the number of my spots didn't noticeably diminish, my pores did look smaller and it didn't dry my skin the way other cleansers have in the past, and finally, it left a nice tingling sensation on your face when you used it, which I do enjoy in cleansing products.
All of this might be true, but I really hated the smell of the lotion. It smells chemically and not altogether nice, and it really put me off using it, preferring instead to find something else that smelt more natural. So, whilst the product is relatively cheap, it wasn't a good buy for me, because I threw out an almost full bottle of it. Instead I now spend a little bit more on a product which does the same job and smells nice.
As i am a teenager, the inevitable spots keep coming and coming! I can honestly say i have used over 15 different cleansers to even just calm down my skin, i'm not asking for miracles! But again, this cleanser was one of the failing attempts :(
I bought this product due to the impressive advert and what neutrogena said it could do, how much of a fool was i! The advert was extremely misleading like all, making me think i'd have perfect skin after one product, yeah right! So anyway, i picked some up from superdrug for around £2.50 which was a decent price really.
The packaging was quite bland really, but the bottle was a big enough size with a secure top for application. Again, always a benefit it does come with the basic instructions but some poor 'statements' that this cleanser could do.
After at least a month of application, using it as directed i saw no noticeable difference at all but instead a red, blotchy face with if not more spots and impurities. The first time i used it i admit i did feel a little bit of a sting and a strong smell which from my experience usually tells me its working. But the sting wore off after a week or so, with made me feel has this stopped working? I was right, it eventually dried my skin out very bad and i'd saw 'spread' the spots out more after simply spreading the cotton wool ball across my face. The redness of my impurities had not decreased and it did not 'improve complexion' as it said it would!
I suppose this is what you get for the price you pay, so i would only reccomend this to those with say a spot a month! Otherwise, you have no chance of getting that desired impurity free skin. Really not one for teenagers, who it was initially aimed at.
Despite being out of my teens, I still suffer from spots and blemishes from time to time, and being a student means that sometimes my skin doesn't always get the TLC that it so rightly deserves. To try and combat this, I looked for a reputable product in store (reasonable price as well) and came out with this.
I had tried a face mask lotion and some moisturiser from Neutrogena in the past, and had had good results from them, so bought this cleanser with high expectations. Unfortunately though, I was left quite disappointed.
The bottle fits in with the Neutrogena range; there is the bright orange on pale grey, and it does stand out on the shelf. It also states on the front that it 'Deep cleanses, tones & helps prevent blemishes', so there are quite a lot of positive points. However, that is one of the only positive aspects of this product.
The directions for use is straightforward- apply to a cotton ball and smooth over face, avoiding delicate eye area. I followed these instructions upon first buying this product and did try it for a while, along with the Neutrogena moisturiser, but nothing ever really happened. While my face was clean, this product wasn't dealing with any of spots or blemishes already there, and despite it's claims that it contains 'spot-fighting ingredients...helps keep pores clear', I felt highly underwhelmed with it. While it hasn't been the worst product I've used, it did nothing to improve my skin, so frankly I would've been in the same position had I not used it!
However, it does smell nice ^_^, did live up to its claim of not drying out skin (as I suffer from dry skin), and was easily affordable. It was also very gentle on my skin....a bit too gentle though, to the point that it was ineffective and I didn't feel as though it was actually having any effect on my skin at all.
At this moment, it costs £2.99 from Boots online for a 200ml bottle (unfortunately it doesn't seem to be available on the Superdrug website), so it is definitely a cheap cleanser. Sadly though, it didn't live up to the expectations.
If you are looking for a good cleanser then unfortunately I'd recommend you look elsewhere. Despite having success with other Neutrogena products, I was left feeling disappointed with this. While it didn't dry out my skin or give me any more spots, it did absolutely nothing to improve my skin.
For a while now I've been using my trusty Clinique Anti Blemish clarifying lotion as a toner after cleansing, however I have a rule of buying this only when Clinique have one of their 'get a gift free' promotions on, to try and make up for the added expense! Recently though I ran out, and as there was no free gift offer I looked for a cheaper alternative to last me a while. I'd never tried any products from the Neutrogena Visibly Clear range before, but there was a promotion on this range at the time and this lotion sounded just like the thing I was looking for!
Unfortunately at the age of 23 I still suffer from spots and blemishes, and whilst I can have good days, every now and then I seem to breakout more than usual, and it will always be on my chin! Since using the Clinique product I mentioned before though I noticed a huge difference in my skin, so I was hoping this product from Neutrogena would keep up the good work.
The packaging makes this sound very promising. It's basically just a cheap looking transparent bottle with a sticker on it, but the flip top lid is handy and the small hole in the lid allows for you to gently tip out what you need onto cotton wool without the risk of pouring half the bottle out!
The sticker on the front claims this is a triple action lotion; the lotion deeply cleanses to remove dirt and oil, it tones and tightens your pores, and thirdly it helps prevent blemishes as it contains a spot-fighting ingredient. This third part was what made me interested, and I hoped it would live up to its claims.
I've been using this daily; I do try to use it morning and night after cleansing and before moisturising. It's dead simple to apply; I just use a cotton wool pad and gently wipe and smooth over my face. After doing so I can visibly see dirt (yuck!) on the cotton wool so I know its done job number one on its list, remove dirt and oil.
I suppose the first disappointing thing for me with this lotion was after using it I didn't notice any tingling or slight stinging sensation on my face. This might sound strange, but I always associate a good toner with at least a slight tingling sensation usually caused by spot fighting ingredients, however with this lotion I just felt as if I had a mildly damp face. This brings me onto my second point, it isn't easily absorbed, and I find myself waiting longer for my face to dry so I can apply my moisturiser than I usually am. Once it has dried my face doesn't feel particularly different, thankfully it doesn't dry out my skin and strip it of essential oils as some products I have tried in the past have (Clearasil comes to mind...) so that's an added bonus, especially as the ingredients states it contains alcohol which I'm never keen on in facial products.
After using nearly the whole bottle of this one, I am pleased to notice it has lasted quite a while, considering there's only 200ml in the bottle. It completely fails on its promise of helping to prevent blemishes. Since switching to this lotion from my usual trusted lotion, I've noticed more blemishes than usual and often big angry spots on my chin! In fact over time since using this it's become steadily worse and my skin has never been this bad in a long time. Considering this promises to prevent blemishes I would expect it to help in that area but it feels like it doesn't even attempt to fight off spots in the slightest. It's this reason alone I will never buy this product again.
* It does visibly remove dirt and grime from your face; you notice this on the cotton wool.
* The 200ml bottle has lasted me a while despite daily use.
* Has NOT prevent blemishes or spots at all, it doesn't even appear to have tried to fight them off!
* Takes a while to be absorbed into your skin, and doesn't leave me a reassuring tingling sensation that other good toners do.
This 200ml bottle costs £2.99, but there will often be offers on this range. This is quite cheap (considering I usually pay around £15 for my Clinique toner) but it's not worth the money at all. If I wanted a cheap toner that simply removed dirt I would buy one, but this doesn't fight spots or blemishes at all, and completely fails on its 'triple action' name.
I've used this Neutrogena product for quite some time now and unlike others it has somehow improved my skin 10 fold from being dry and still feeling.
The fact that it's called Triple Action Lotion is an obvious name as on the bottle it states that it can
-deep cleanse-gently removing trapped dirt and oil
-tone & lighten pores without drying skin
-help to prevent blemishes.
Generally a lot of skin care products claim that they can do this too, yet with Neutrogena, as they haven given it as a name surely makes people more likely to buy it.
This will set you back for just under £3 from Boots. Naturally prices will vary from shop to shop but considering this is a Neurtrogena product it's quite good value.
The bottle contains 200ml of this clear liquid lotion and doesn't contain any colourants. It does actually smell quite nice, a sweet scent but not overpowering.
The thing I like about this is that unlike other lotions which just reak of enough chemicals to take the enamel of your teeth (culprits being clean & clear) it isn't too strong. When you put it on around the eye area it doesn't make your eyes water because of a high alcochol content.
To use you just apply to cotton wool and smooth over your face. It says on the back of the bottle that you may experience a slight tingling feeling which is normal. This clearly depends on your skin type as I didn't get this.
I find that it may make your face have a slightly sticky feeling, but if you just leave it for a bit it'll go back to normal again.
It does come out of the bottle very quickly so you do have to be careful how much you use otherwise it won't take too long for it to run down.
I like this lotion simply because it doesn't appear to have any gimmicks about it.
A nice product for a reasonable price which seems to do what it says on the bottle.
Just what you need, even if it's just for taking your make up off.
Formulated with soft microbeads to exfoliate dead skin cells and cleanse deep into pores, helping to prevent blemishes without over-drying your skin /

Thanks to my kids, Easter weekend has quietly become one of my favorite times of the year.
This year, in particular, was quite significant for my family on several fronts, including an odd deadline we set for our oldest son, a new vigor for Easter egg hunts and a harsh lesson in the danger of toddlers eating candy for breakfast.
Since he was born, Beckett has had a love affair with his pacifier.
However, it's always been a bedtime thing and he was never much interested in using it during the day. Consequently, we were not in a rush to take it away from him.
But, make no mistake, the infatuation at bedtime ran deep, and we have been reluctant to mess with that. As most parents will attest, smooth transitions to bedtime are imperative to home happiness, and we have been in a good routine with our kids for more than a year. The binky had a lot to do with that when it came to Beckett.
Carson was never much for the pacifier at all, and he has been without it for months as a result. We just decided if he did not want it let's just take it away.
For Beckett, ever since I can remember, when it came to bedtime, he immediately sought out his binky, and we decided months ago it had to go.
We initially began the conversation of losing the binky while we were on vacation last October. He was not at all ready, and we gave in since a smooth bedtime routine is so crucial to us.
Then we tried Christmas, working in Santa Claus and the fact he was going to deliver it to our neighbor's little girl, Opal. That was met with tremendous resistance at the time and we didn't push it.
Last month sometime, we decided we were going to work the Easter bunny into our plan, and we were firm on this decision this time around. Maybe that should be reworded because I was resolute on this plan. Pam, in typically mommy fashion, was not so sure, saying something about how he needs it and that it was sad. Beckett, of course, had his own reservations, most of which were largely discounted.
Come Saturday, the day before Easter Sunday, there was a lot of pacifier talk, particularly when we spotted the Easter bunny in Berlin.
The plan was we were going to leave the pacifier in his empty Easter basket at bedtime on Saturday and that the Easter bunny would deliver it to our neighbor's newborn, Lomax, who we alleged desperately needed a binky because he's a baby (or at least that was our motivation).
Without the pacifier, the actual falling asleep process now lasts a little longer these days than usual, but I am proud to report Beckett has stepped up and proven he's a big boy.
I actually think it was more difficult for Pam than it was for Beckett.
For Carson, 2, this was the first year he truly got to participate in Easter egg hunts. He was involved last year and recovered his share of eggs, but it required a tremendous amount of help from his parents and grandparents.
This year he took part with much less assistance and seemed to thoroughly enjoy cracking open his eggs and examining their contents. He had a mild interest in the egg hunts themselves, but once he had a few eggs he was content to just sit on the ground and get busy uncovering what was inside.
Speaking of Easter egg hunts, last year Beckett was sort of like Carson was this year. He didn't seem at all interested in the competition aspect of gathering eggs as quickly as possible. Instead, he was overly anxious to discover what was inside.
This year he went about gathering his eggs with much more gusto, understanding now that he can dive into eggs with as much detail as he likes later.
Note to self: church and candy do not go well together.
We should have known better, but we relented in the spirit and excitement of Easter morning.
After growing weary from the begging and pleading, both kids capped off breakfast on Easter morning with candy and too much of it.
That's why church that morning was a bit of a fiasco, leaving Pam and I sweating and frazzled by the end of the service. At one point, the knot on my tie had dwindled to the size of a nickel from Beckett and Carson repeatedly tugging on it in competitive fashion.
Fortunately, the kids' Sunday School on Easter featured an egg hunt, allowing us some time to actually take in the holiday service and for the kids to burn off some energy, and, of course, consume some more candy.
Last Sunday was a special holiday service and therefore ran longer than usual, meaning the kids returned from Sunday School to take part in communion.
Soon, the sweats returned for their parents and my tie shrunk to the size of a penny and my collar began tightening around my neck.
As we were walking out of the church, growing more irritated by the minute, I couldn't help but apologize to anyone and everyone for the ruckus my kids were making during the service.
One lady offered up a nice comment. "Oh, don't worry, it's always worse for the parents than anyone else," she said.
I can't disagree with that one bit.

I said Lin because he plays both ends of the floor........ Offensively, he might not yet be at the level of Nash, CP3, Rose, or Westbrook, but I cannot think of a starting PG right now who I'd take over Lin defensively.
I said Lin because he plays both ends of the floor........ Offensively, he might not yet be at the level of Nash, CP3, Rose, or Westbrook, but I cannot think of a starting PG right now who I'd take over Lin defensively.
Crazy....if u are mentioning physical-injuries and healing-time.....Lin just had surgery on his knee making Lin injury the worst of the three players, running is a big issue for Lin in the next 4 weeks. bumbing knee to knee or an oponent headbuddin Lin knee would be movin backwards.
As for Stat injury (knee, or shoulder, or back), Stat does what Stat want to do....if u didnt get the memo in December of Stat's work-out with Isiah Thomas in Florida (Stat's home) instead of reporting to our short training-camp, or Stat's so-call July/August/September training-camp in Florida (home), or the missing Stat in the postseason games, or one of the top reasons owner Dolan pulled the Melo trade, or owner Dolan pursue to rehire Isiah Thomas, or Phoenix offer to Stat for 3 seasons of guaranteed $$$ on a 6 season contract....how many memo's do one need on Stat.
Those who select "Stat" need to rewind their DVD....Stat is a Super-Star that dont co-exist with any of his Knicks teammates on a level to be an impact or valuable in a postseason series....Jefferies at least co-exist with exellence with Tyson Chandler on the defensive end (as a PF or SF) to challenge any postseason team in a series for the most STOPS....especially when u add Shump or Fields in their lineup.
I think I'm gonna go with STAT because his defense picked up, and he looked like STAT again offensively.
Jeffries is guaranteed defense though.
Lin would definitely help, but it's not like there wasn't teams that won without good PGs (which Baron is, he just needs need Douglas or whoever to step-up for his rest), and this isn't the D'Antoni era anymore, we could win with STAT's offensive without Lin imo.
Sig made by Sons of Thunder
We need boards, we need hustle, we need D.
JJ is gonna play today , and Tyson needs help.
I am not saying that Amare nor Lin is missing for me, but, Amare only started to play some D and getting his explosiveness back and JLIN was in sort of decline(no dis).
Its always about the missing links, and the missing link in this year was hustle and D, those criteria is where JJ is exhale
I just go with the statistics as to which player wins more when he is in the game:
With Stat in the game, Knicks won 19 and lost 24
With JJ in the game, Knicks won 18 and lost 15
With Lin in the game, Knicks won 20 and lost 15
It would be tough for the Knicks without JJ AND Stat going into the last weeks of the playoff race. Now that Lin is out for the season, we just can't afford any more injuries.
It doesnt matter what the regular season records show. Any team peaks at the playoff has a good shot at Finals.
Phil Jackson is a master at peaking his teams entering the playoffs. Gregg Popovich is best at utilize and maximize his players, with less chances for injuries. Woodson needs to do the same with Knicks.
When is someone going to put the WEAKEST area on the Knicks roster this season
has been the "PG" position....a young "Jeremy Lin" added to the Knicks roster started
a world-wide "Lin-Sanity-Rush" in this country....Lin-Sanity didnt need two of the NBA
highest scorers to take the Knicks on a seven game winning streak...
Which player on the Knicks roster made the biggest impact this season???
Having just watched the Knicks/Bulls game, I'd have to say that between STAT and Lin, the knicks need Lin now more than Stat. BD just can't do it and the lack of a legit PG is turning this into an ugly team on the offensive end
I picked Lin. After tadays game its more obvious to me that Lin is more important for this team as we still dont have a real point guard without him.
Obviously Stat is very important too, but if i had to choose it has to be Lin.
Also Melo is more effective offensively when Stat is not playing.
In Woodson's offense the PG isn't that important it would be great to have Lin for his penetration and all around scoring. But if the Knicks had Amare as a number 2 instead of JR today to help Melo keep pressure on the Bulls this game most likely would not go to over time.
are you guys kidding with these voting results?
dont get me wrong, i love lin and all..
but STAT is essential in the playoffs, we need his physicality (clyde's voice)
no STAT, no party
I don't think ppl realize the MOST important thing in the playoffs are go to guys that can carry you. Not to mention who knows how Lin will play against opposing teams defense in the playoffs, Amare is a proven player in the post season he usually actually plays some of his best ball in the playoffs.
