CINCINNATI -- Molly Malone's co-owner Josh Rhodes surveyed the damage from the Pleasant Ridge fire that damaged his business and destroyed another.
"What a mess. Just kind of a nightmare," Rhodes said Friday.
Thursday's fire caused $300,000 damage, and now the question is whether the restaurant and bar, a community cornerstone, or Coffee Exchange, which had to be torn down overnight because of structural damage, will reopen.
Rhodes is going to wait and see.
"We were happy to be here. We've been here two years," said Rhodes. "It's a big loss to the community. It's a tight-knit group around here."
Rhodes stood in a hole in the wall where the entrance to a party room used to be. The fire and Coffee Exchange demolition destroyed the party room. There is heavy water and smoke damage throughout the restaurant and bar. The basement filled with water.
"We are fully insured," Rhodes said. "I know the Coffee Exchange was insured, but the two tenants upstairs, I don't believe they have insurance. So they're looking at a significant loss."
Officials said the fire started in one of the second-floor apartments and spread to the Coffee Exchange on the first floor.
Nobody was hurt, but Molly Malone's is closed for now, idling 25 to 30 employees.
"Revolution Rotisserie Grill has offered to hire on any employees they can," Rhodes said. "The community is trying to support us, so it's nice."
Reopening depends on insurance adjusters and whether health department and building inspections determine the front of the building can be restored.
"You think about a lot of life's work that went into this place," Rhodes said. "We've all invested a lot and are still on the line financially. We'll try to figure that out and do what's right for us and the company."
Sarah Peters, owner of Coffee Exchange, didn't want to go on camera, but she said she is thankful for the community support she has received. She said it's too early to tell what her future will be.
Investigators have not determined what caused the fire.
Two other nearby businesses were spared any damage, and owners are thanking the Cincinnati Fire Department for containing the flames.
Jeff Hoffman was sweeping debris from the Queen City Comic and Card Co. It's right next to the space the Coffee Exchange occupied.
"There's a little damage to the outside of the roof — the eaves that hang over on that side of the building," said Hoffman, "but from everything we've seen inside - from the basement to the apartments upstairs -there's no damage."
Hoffman stayed inside as the fire burned just feet away. His entire livelihood consists of paper and books and easily burnable items. But not a single drop of water got into the building.
"I did have a little bit of a smoke smell in here that came in through the part of the wall where the air conditioner is, but we never had any physical smoke," Hoffman said. "It wasn't like it got smoky in here or anything like that."
Nearby, workers patched the roof of Architectural Art Glass Studio, which is just 2 feet from the rear of Coffee Exchange. From inside, you could see the sky through a few damaged ceiling tiles.
Owner Richard Duncan knows he was very lucky.
"Actually, we had no fire damage," Duncan said. "We did have some water damage come through the roof. The firemen had to cut a hole in the roof to make sure we weren't on fire."
Business owners who weren't affected were quick to help others who needed it.
With power out in the area, Revolution Rotisserie employees walked into Share:Cheesebar and offered to store food for them.
"Revolution actually stored a bunch of product for the neighborhood," said Revolution chef James Owens. "Since our cooler was up and running, we were more than happy to keep their product fresh for them."
"All the owners know each other, so it's a no brainer to take it where they could fit it in — whoever had power," said Share:Cheesebar manager Kip Dully.
The folks at Everybody's Records, across the street from the fire scene, said that's just the way Pleasant Ridge operates.
"It's like a family," said Harry Lushy. "The community is a family and everybody rallies to help everybody else."
Owens agreed.
"I've been in this business 15 years and it's awesome," Owens said. "It's great that something so terrible can bring some neat things."

2013 Formula One Singapore Grand Prix – My story from the racing weekend
The racing weekend usually starts on Thursday not because there is something going on with the circuit officially (well there was the Driver Autograph session and the Pit-Lane walk but I didn't win either tickets, so much for paying back to die-hard fans), but just to look at the circuit and see if I can bump into one of the drivers. In previous years I've met the likes of Heikki Kovalainen, Narain Karthikeyan, Sebastien Bourdais and Sebastian Vettel in either 2011 (for the first two) or 2008 (the next two). This time, I didn't get to meet a current F1 driver but I did meet a possible future F1 driver in James Calado, who's been doing well in F1's feeder series GP2, and is the new Force India test driver. Also saw Daniel Abt but he just walked away.
Also got to meet Porsche Carrera Cup Asia drivers Yuey Tan and Rodolfo Avila, big thanks to a friend of mine for allowing me to just talk about racing with those guys like we're just fans of the sport, you don't always get to do that with professional racers like those two. I didn't get to walk around the circuit due to the heavy presence of security, but I did get to see the GP2 cars almost up close, they've moved to the support paddock opposite Marina Square. Also went to Millenia Walk later on the day to catch a glimpse of Mercedes F1 drivers Lewis Hamilton and Nico Rosberg. No luck with getting their autographs.

That Friday was possibly one of my longest days, starting from leaving the house at 9am to getting back home at about 12.30am! I didn't just enjoy the action at the Marina Bay Street Circuit for the first two practice of F1 and also GP2 practice and qualifying (also staying back to watch Korea's Big Bang at the Padang stage for my cousins) but also the UBS Go-Kart Challenge with David Coulthard. I did one post just for the UBS go-kart challenge before this post so check it out.
After the super fun but extremely tiring go-kart race with David Coulthard, which I finished side-by-side with him. We got dropped off at the same place they picked us up, and guess who I saw there? DC himself, he had just finished a appearance for UBS, giving prizes to the winners of the simulator challenge (I didn't do so well for that one). It was cool that he noticed us and I said to him to enjoy the weekend and he said to me to enjoy my weekend too. After my lunch/dinner at Burger King, it's off to the Marina Bay Street Circuit.
I started my "adventure" at Gate 6, just opposite the Fullerton Hotel, with a good view of the Turn 13 hairpin, the same place where I stood to watch my first race live back in 2011. I missed the first session which was the Porsche Carrera Cup Asia practice and barely made it to the start of the GP2 practice session, watching the future F1 starts making their way through Turn 13, and this time, getting much better pictures there than I did back in 2011. That day I saw a number of guys making mistakes there, this time, I didn't see any mistakes. That's because I wasn't there when the mistakes happened in the first F1 practice session, I had moved elsewhere.
Really liking this shot of Alex Rossi's Caterham, all green around!
I made my way down to the Esplanade Straight, just before Turn 14 to see the final bits of the GP2 practice, hearing the cars at full power. For that reason, I stayed there for the first practice session for the F1 guys. I do like that spot as you can really hear the cars working, downshifting going into Turn 14 and even see sparks coming off these cars. I would have moved around if not for my friend letting me know that he was coming along and wanted to meet me. Still, I did get to see the cars (if I could catch them) at their very best down that straight.
After that session, my friend wanted to get his dinner at Macs, which I knew would be packed, so I told him to get it dinner while I enjoy GP2 qualifying, which I missed half the session because of the long line going into Gate 3, which is the popular spot (just off Raffles City mall). I caught the GP2 qualifying action from just after Turn 8 and didn't realise that the spot I chose was actually not bad, so I stayed on for the start of the second practice session. We moved over to the Bay Grandstand next as my friend wanted to see what view he would get from his ticket. Of course, I had to check out the view too so we swapped tickets for a while and I have to say, even from the second last row of the Bay Grandstand, the view isn't all that bad!
Daniel Ricciardo driving under the grandstand!
After checking out the view, we made our way to the Padang stage, trying to get a good view to catch K-Pop stars Big Bang. First of all, I'm not big on K-Pop but some people in my family are, so I was trying to get some pics and videos just for them. Those guys aren't that bad, just their fans there were a bit too crazy, pushing around just to get a better view, I nearly dropped my $1,000 Nikon camera thanks to one idiot. I got so pissed off I just left after 30 minutes, I just couldn't take getting pushed around for no reason anymore. Plus, I was freaking tired at that point haha!
Not an early start for me on Saturday luckily but I still went earlier than usual, I got to Gate 2 just off Millenia Walk by 3pm and didn't realise the gates only opened at 3pm so I was one of the first few lining up. I didn't know this was also a good spot to see a number of F1 personnel. I was walking right behind McLaren's Sam Michael the whole way to the Singapore Flyer and also saw the likes of Stefano Domenicalli of Ferrari and Guillaume Roquelin of Red Bull. That wasn't all the people I saw.
I moved over to the GP2 support paddock and saw all the cars lined up, but not the drivers. I stood by near the entrance of the support paddock and then saw GP2 drivers one by one, walking out of the support paddock and to their cars. The one person I almost got to ask a pic for was the one guy I was hoping to meet, Alexander Rossi. I was a bit too starstruck to even ask him initially and when I started moving, he was heading off to his car. Damn my luck.
I made my way to a viewing platform just opposite pit-lane, all the way to the right of the pit grandstand, meaning I got a good view of the cars going past at the start. I had hoped to catch the action from Turn 3 but for some reason the viewing platform wasn't there. I stuck around for a few laps, just seeing the cars fly past before heading off Turn 23, the same place I had decided I would watch the race from for Sunday. On the way I got to see one of my classmates working at the pit granstand so that was a nice surprise. After a short while of watching the action from Turn 23, I moved over to Turn 22, I might as well wait for the action at Turn 23 till Sunday.
The spot I found at Turn 22 wasn't that good with many catch fences as it was for the photographers but interestingly none of them were there for the GP2 Feature race, giving me some good shots from that angle. For the last few laps, I went over to Turn 21, that's one of the better spots to take pictures of these cars. It was there that I saw Felipe Nasr lock up, and one lap later, his team-mate Jolyon Palmer overtook him for the win. Good to see James Calado finishing on the podium too, hope he gets a drive in F1 soon.
Lots of close racing going on here
I headed back to Turn 22 for the first part of Practice 3 before heading back to Turn 21. This time, the pro photographers did block my view, making it more tricky for me to get some good pictures but when I had a gap, man were those pictures great! Plus, there's something about the last two corners at Turn 22 and 23 that always attracts me there, the two quickest (and proper) corners on track, you get to see the cars at their best (and worst for those cars that are rubbish).
Really liked this shot of Paul di Resta going through Turn 22, one of my better shots
After the session, I headed over to the Esplanade Outdoor Theater to catch The Dhol Foundation in action. Those guys are just simply awesome, the were probably the only ones for the off-track entertainment that I wanted to catch (and that includes The Killers and Rihana). How awesome were they with their dhols? They didn't just play Bhangra songs, they also did Reggae and even Irish Folk! I thought their acoustic set was awesome too. I had to leave before their show ended, hoping I had a good spot for F1 qualifying at my usual spot of Turn 16.
I had a decent spot but the place changed the last time I was there (2011), so I didn't get as good views as I used to but hey, they still had a superscreen there, so that's all good for me. I thought I'd have some fun by trying to get close up shots of the driver's helmets, I sure need more work on my timing and my focus to get them just right. Q3 was an interesting session, Sebastian Vettel did the one lap and never went out for a second run. That nearly backfired with Mark Webber, Romain Grosjean and Nico Rosberg all doing quick laps but Rosberg just missed out, which made the Vettel fan-girls next to me scream like crazy. Jeez, it's just a pole position.

Last day of the racing weekend and once again, I'm making my way through the circuit from Gate 2, realizing that's the best place to spot drivers or personnel. I did get to see PCCA driver Earl Bamber but couldn't get a picture of him. I headed straight for my spot at the viewing platform at Turn 23 and guess what, no-one else was around, giving me enough time to find the right spot. Soon I was joined by a couple of Aussie peeps, and hey, it's always good to be around these Aussies, they's always the ones who make the atmosphere more fun. Makes it better for me that I'm also a Mark Webber fan and sporting his shirt. Heck, even an English lady next to me was a Webber fan, we were turning that spot to the Mark Webber fan zone haha! That was until other fans joined in.
The first piece of action was the GP2 sprint race, the one were pit-stops are not needed but strangely enough, there were a lot of pit-stops in that race, the tyres just didn't go well for some guys. It sucked to see Alex Rossi with wing damage at the start, he was the first to make his way to pit-lane with his broken front wing. I also spotted Stefano Coletti with front wing damage before he made his stop. It was another good race, the mid-grid action was the best with cars closely following each other. Great to see Sam Bird taking the win, his fifth of the season. The guy deserves a shot in F1.

Next up was the Porsche Carrera Cup Asia race and well, we didn't get much of a race because of a strange incident. A one car crash on Lap 2 didn't look big, it caused the safety car but it looked as if they could get the car away quickly but it took them 6 or 7 laps out of the 12 scheduled to get the car to a safe place, the car was badly damaged. There were a lot of good racing there too, and Rodolfo Avila got some overtakes in front of me, thanks man! He and Yuey Tan even raced with each other for a while, both those guys sure were friendly when I met them on Thursday. Bamber won the race ahead of Craig Baird, who had won this race for the last two years.
After that was the F1 driver's parade and this one was a bit different for me. I hadn't realised that right opposite me was the spot where the drivers would drop off after the parade and that meant I had a bit of trouble trying to get some of the drivers in my video. I missed Lewis Hamilton in my view as he went off his parade classic car right away, some of the fans were not happy about that haha! Of course, Mark Webber and Jenson Button got some of the louder cheers along with Raikkonen, Vettel and Alonso. And well, being around a bunch of Aussies, there were loud cheers for Daniel Ricciardo too, and he gave us all a thumbs up!
I got a great view of the last two rows on the grid but the only guy I could see was Max Chilton, who walked past opposite us for his little break for the race. Turn 23 turned out to be a good spot, you can tell which cars were great around the last two quick corners and which ones were rubbish. The Marussia cars always looked like it would go off, they were really unstable at times. So it was pretty funny that apart from Chilton's second lap off moment there, they didn't go off at the corner. Esteban Gutierrez nearly hit the wall in front of us in his Sauber, I really thought he would head straight for it, but he saved it! Valtteri Bottas also went off but wasn't as dramatic as Gutierrez's off moment.
After the safety car, the race got more interesting and everytime Mark Webber made an overtake, there were loud cheers going around my area. There were even louder cheers when Paul di Resta crashed with a few laps to go. Not the fans didn't like him, but it looked like the safety car might come out and cut Vettel's huge gap and mean Webber would be right in front of Raikkonen for the last podium spot. We kept looking at the marshals, some even shouting at them to put up the "SC" board haha!
It never went up and Vettel had an easy run to the flag. Alonso finished 2nd with Raikkonen taking 3rd, amazing drives by both former champions (Alonso started 7th, Raikkonen started 13th and had back issues), and they'll be Ferrari team-mates next year! Webber didn't finish 4th. Heck, he didn't finish the last lap. I saw smokes count out of his car with one lap to go and he stopped with two thirds of the circuit to go. But hey, he gave us that classic shot when Alonso gave him a lift back to the pits, that rarely happens! I never thought my last picture of Mark Webber would be that of him being on Alonso's car getting a taxi ride back to the pits.
Webber getting a lift from Alonso after his Red Bull car failed on him on the last lap
After the safety car went through the circuit, mayhem ensued! Fans running to the podium, hoping to catch the podium finishers up close. I did join in when they were playing the Austrian national anthem for Red Bull, I mean that anthem was freaking long. So long that when I got to the track, Raikkonen just got this 3rd place trophy, so I got a good shot of the guys spraying the champagne! Of course, we had the whole controversy of the booing of Seb Vettel on the podium but that only happened the second time Martin Brundle spoke to him. And at the same time, there were a lot of Alonso chants too, need me to tell you who were booing Vettel? No surprises there I guess.
After checking out the pit-lane, seeing the Sky Sports doing their thing just outside the Red Bull garage and seeing the cars at parc ferme, it was time for me to head back home. I got delayed when I saw The Dhol Foundation playing at the Village Stage, so why the heck not? Just stay back a little bit more to watch them playing their awesome dhols, these guys are just mega! 2013 Singapore Grand Prix is done, I can't wait for the 2014 Singapore Grand Prix to start already. In the meantime, I'll enjoy the sights of another race before it, bring 2014 on!

UBS Go-Kart Challenge with David Coulthard – My story of that event
I couldn't tell you how excited I was when I found out that I was one of the lucky five chose to compete in this event. I mean, we got a chance to race with David Coulthard! Yes, that same guy who drove for Williams, McLaren and Red Bull and have won 13 grand prix in his career! And being a McLaren fan myself, I had always been a DC fan during that era so I got a chance to race one of my favourite drivers in the early days of me watching F1. I've done some runs in those fun Go-Karts a couple of times but this was my first time being in a "competitive" racing sessions, those guys treated the whole thing like one. I've done some runs in those fun Go-Karts a couple of times but this was my first time being in a "competitive" racing sessions, those guys treated the whole thing like one.
The kind people at UBS picked us up at their offices at Raffles and we made the long trip to Kartright Speedway (which is at Jurong, the very west of Singapore). Kartright was the first "race-track" t o be opened in Singapore in 2010 but this was my first time racing there. The track itself was not bad, best go-kart track I've driven at so far. I asked my brother to accompany me to the event and get some pictures for me but the UBS people were lacking some racers to fill the grid of 20, so they asked my brother to join in the fun, that lucky bugger. The first session was the practice session for us contests winners and just before it started, David Coulthard showed up, and of course, I had to meet him right away, it's DC damn it!
David Coulthard! Seen him race many times, now I get to see him race real up close
I only realised as we were getting ready for the practice session that most of the people I was up against we were pro-karters themselves or have driven go-karts on a regular basis, with me being the least experienced. I knew I had to do my very best to get into the grand final, my best practice time was just 57 seconds, not good so far. For the qualifying session, I did find some time and got a 53 second lap. All there was left to do was watch the second session and hope I've done enough.
I didn't keep track of my time for most part of that session, just seeing what my brother was doing. He had been doing laps of 62+ seconds for the most time before he did a 57 second lap on his last effort. There were a few guys who did 52s laps and some 53s laps, so I had to wait to know if my time was good enough. I would know if I made it when the published the grid for the "mini-final" and my name wasn't on it, so I made it. My brother didn't do so well and finished a lap down but he was suffering with his wrist, just like I was. We didn't have gloves like most others. Now it was time for the grand final, and I'm happy that I've got into that grand final, that's all I wanted because I knew I wouldn't be competitive against the others haha!
Me and the legendary David Coulthard!
I was bound to start 7th and I had the legendary David Coulthard starting next to me. I wished him luck just before we got into our karts and he told me "just have fun out there". It was a 10 car grid with two guys starting in pit-lane (one was supposed to start on pole but was penalised). DC had a mega start, squeezing his way through the field already and I was trying to pick up the pieces but I couldn't do much. I tried my best to keep up with the rest but I just couldn't. Then again, this was my first "race" against people who've raced many times before, all I wanted to do was to finish on the lead lap and hopefully not last.
I did get past one guy who was struggling more than myself with a nice outside pass, showing that I can race these guys, too bad I didn't have the speed. DC had made his way to the front in just two laps but after a while, he drove through pit-lane just to have some fun. The two fastest guys the whole way battled for the lead and finishing 1-2, just not in the order most expected. DC was fighting for 3rd before he slowed down just before the line, allowing everyone to pass him. I didn't want to beat a legend like him that way so I slowed down too just before the line, trying to make it a dead heat between us but I messed up, David beat me by some 0.2 seconds. I finished 8th in the end but hey, for my first race, I finished side-by-side with David Coulthard, no matter the situation, no-one can ever take that away from me haha! Still wondering if anyone had a good picture of it.
Ok, so they spelled my name wrongly but that's ok, my name is just below David Coulthard's! Now that's freaking cool.
I was a bit dissapointed with my own race, hoping I could at least fight for a top 5 spot but then again, I never really stood a chance. Oh well, I did get to race with David Coulthard, so that was super cool, and I got to speak to him as if we were good friends. I also got him to sign his book "It Is What It Is" and his 2000 McLaren F1 Minichamp diecast! People have called him the gentleman racer, he sure is a gent! I didn't win anything but I did get some stuff from UBS and also the cake but that never made it home haha! Big thanks to UBS for setting this up, never had so much fun at an event like this in a long while. How I wish I could do go-kart racing or any kind of racing for a living, now that's my dream job.
If only I could do this for real!
Great September so far
I can safely say I'm kinda enjoying this month's holiday break for me. The way my school works, we study for two months, rest for one, so September is the third "rest" month for me, and so far, the fun one too haha! Not just because the Singapore Grand Prix is just next week, but a few things have been happening too.
This time last week, I was looking forward to seeing WWE legend Booker T in Singapore for the first time ever in a meet and greet session and I got to meet him. This time next week, I won't just be looking forward to the first days action of the Singapore Grand Prix with Friday Practice but also I'll be looking forward to meeting F1 legend David Coulthard! Yup, I won some UBS Go-Kart contest to race with him along with 4 others, so I can't wait for that. The contest theme was about "I love racing", no surprise that I won right? The picture that won it for me was my 70+ F1 diecast collection. Then again, it does show how much I love racing!
That's the picture that won it for me.
Also, this time last year, I wasn't quite looking forward to returning back to Singapore from my two month stay over in Sacramento, California at my cousin's place. I had just finished my two year National Service, I had two months of nothing to do, might as well visit my family overseas, better than rotting at home and doing nothing in this hot weather. I do love the weather there, especially at the Bay Area (San Francisco/Berkeley), would love to stay there!
With nothing to do, I'd usually turn to my games and I finally bought White 2 after a year of waiting. The second version feels a lot different than the first version, that much I'll say. It's like playing a different version with a few similarities. And yup, I've already beaten the champion, easiest league match ever (too much training helps). Also been playing Football Manager 2013 and got Scottish side Queen's Park from the 3rd division to the 1st division and on course to make it to the Premier Division. Now, what other games can I play before school starts. WWE 2K14 and F1 2013 won't be coming out soon, so that sucks.
So next week in the Singapore Grand Prix, I can't wait for it as always. I still have not made up my mind on where I'll be watching the race from (Sunday's action I meant). I thought watching the action from Turn 7-8 would be a great spot, too bad my view was blocked by some tall buggers the whole time, should have gotten there earlier. This time, I might decide on Turns 22-23 or Turn 3 (I've got walkabout tickets if anyone is wondering). I'll be walking around the circuit as usual, just enjoying the event. Hopefully I'll get to meet one of the drivers again, I've bumped into one or two in the last few years (nobody last year in Singapore, a number of guys in Melbourne though). Bring on the racing weekend!
Booker T in Singapore
Before last weekend, I had not once seen a wrestler up close and that all changed last Saturday, and it wasn't just any wrestler, it was the legendary Booker T. I had been looking for that day a long time if I'm honest, I've been a wrestling fan since I was young, so it sucks to have waited this long to meet one wrestler but hey, some things are worth the wait I guess.
The venue was Bugis+, a place I hadn't been to before even thought it's right next to Bugis Junction which I used to go to all the time seeing as I stayed over at Rochor as a kid just a stones throw away from Bugis Junction. I knew I had to go early if I wanted to meet Booker T, only 50 lucky fans with some StarHub bill would get in and luckly for me, I was the 40th or 41st to show up. Yeah, I showed up at 11.30pm, when the event was only due to start at 3.30pm. Being a diehard fan of wrestler, I didn't mind the long wait one bit. At least I brought my DS to keep me entertained with the new White 2 game (why the heck not?) and just wait.
It was pretty cool to see Booker T live for once, I've watched him during his days in WCW (yes, they did show WCW here in Singapore) and I thought it was crazy that I get to meet someone I've seen wrestle for a long time and he's not just any ol' wrestler. He's a 6 time world champion (well, he is the FIVE TIME, FIVE TIME, FIVE TIME, FIVE TIME, FIVE TIME WCW Champion), 15 time tag champion, King of the Ring winner and he's achieved many things in the crazy world of professional wrestling. The little mall with thousands of fans went nuts seeing Booker T when he showed up, and yup, YES! chants took over Singapore too haha (I'm jumped on Daniel Bryan's YES bandwagon long before anyone else did, when he was still a heel, I always thought that YES chant was funny and chatchy).
They had some trivia questions, all of which I knew but of course, they're always picking some kid or someone that doesn't look like they know the answer. Heck, the "impersonation contest" was kinda rubbish, I could have done a better job. And everyone said the same thing, "can you dig it, sucka". Come on, no "Tell me, you didn't just saw that" or the awesome "oh shucky ducky quack quack" or even "the fave five". Come on people. Oh yeah, the new WWE 2K14 game was on demo but I couldn't try it, too many clowns around haha. It does look similar to the previous game though.
Still, I did get to meet Booker T during the meet and greet session which was super cool, didn't think I could get in as one of the first 50 but it happened! I got up to the table and the first thing I did was bow to Booker T, he was King Booker at one point. I told him "All hail King Booker" and he got a good laugh about it, gotta entertain him a bit too after all the years he entertained me. Told him I was a big fan of his to which he said "thanks man, I appreciate it". Didn't get to talk to him all that much but I can tell he's a nice guy, and I got my picture and a signed poster of him, so I'm more than happy after that day! A bit dissapointed that there was no famous Booker T spinnerooni on show for us that day, but as some of you may know, he did have surgery on his elbow so he couldn't do it but promises not just to come back to Singapore one day but pull it off for us, and hopefully I'll get to see it haha. Finally I got to meet a wrestler and it happened to be Booker T, I can dig that sucka!
Booker T and myself!
One thing Booker T did say was that WWE might come to Singapore for a house show next year, which would be awesome. I did get to see the December 2002 show many years ago, but it's been a while since the WWE was in Singapore (mid 2007 was the last time they were here). The moment I hear WWE is coming to Singapore, I'm getting those tickets no matter what. Still, if Wrestlemania is heading to San Francisco in 2015 or 2016, I might go for that one too. Big thanks to StarHub and WWE for making this meet and greet happen and giving me the chance to meet the legendary Booker T.

Innovative tool teaches children level crossing safety
- Region & Route:
- Wales & Western: Wales & Borders
- | Wales & Western
Network Rail's Wales and Borders level crossing and maintenance teams have joined forces to build a model footpath crossing, helping them to deliver school safety sessions. The innovative teaching tool aims to provide young people with an enhanced understanding of how to use footpath crossings safely, by replicating the conditions of a working level crossing.
The portable crossing made its debut appearance at a rail safety event at Meole Brace Primary School in Shrewsbury yesterday, Thursday 5 July. The model can replicate two different types of footpath crossing, both of which can be found in the local area and are common across the railway network.
Over ninety children took part in the rail safety session, which included understanding what hazards are around and on the railway and learning how to use level crossings safely by trying out the model footpath crossing.
The launch of the portable footpath crossing coincides with Rail Safety Week, a week dedicated to raising awareness on how to stay safe on and near the railway. The model will allow Network Rail level crossing teams across Wales and Borders to offer engaging and effective rail safety lessons to large numbers of children at once.
Bill Kelly, acting route managing director for Network Rail in Wales and Borders said: "We run one of the safest railways in Europe, but we must not be complacent. I am pleased to see Network Rail teams put ideas into action to keep the communities we serve safe.
"Recent research shows most adults do not recognise how dangerous level crossings can be, so it's important we engage with young people early, to make sure they know how to stay safe on and near the railway."
Andrew Nodder, a teacher at Meole Brace Primary School, said: "With a number of popular railway crossings in the local area it is vital that children are aware of the how to stay as safe as possible while crossing the railway.
"This workshop achieved all of its objectives and the delivery was excellent. The new model was well received by the children and gave them a chance to practice crossing in a safe environment, away from the live railway. Thank you, Network Rail!"
Notes to Editors
[1] New research carried out by Populous on behalf of Network Rail reveals 28 per cent of adults in Wales believe crossing a motorway is more dangerous than crossing a railway, with only 29 per cent identifying that crossing when level crossing barriers are down and no train is coming is a risk and only 18 per cent recognising that crossing when distracted poses a danger. Populous rail safety survey of 2000 adults, aged 18+ years, May 2018.

About vocalists
Vocals are a really important part of most musical genres and vocal roles range from singing the main melody to providing backing or harmony vocals. Some vocalists also write the melody line and lyrics, but songwriting is normally considered a separate skill, known as topline.
Vocalists on Twine can provide everything from features to full length vocals in almost any genre. A high quality vocal can help lift your songs to another level. The same goes for commercial music. For things like radio adverts, a good song can be really attention-grabbing - but if your singing sounds like a dying cat, getting a singer will be necessary to get those all important conversions.
On Twine, you'll find talented professional vocalists with a wide variety of experience in almost any genre.

Maybe you can think metaphor.
Pence Praises Texas Governor for Reopening That Fueled Massive Surge in Covid-19 Cases and Hospitalizations
Here's something to take your mind off the dinosaurs:
I'm reminded that science cites birds as surviving dinosaurs - so hey, the evolutionary poles are at least meeting up … hold that thought for the earth's poles.
Dr. Fauci is deploying Trump's F-35 invisibility technology to the same degree of success, but he is trying very hard.
Pence's cult eats this stuff up…it makes them feel like the US is closer to becoming a Christian theocracy, and the rapture is a comin to give them eternal salvation.
That Birx medical license has not been revoked devalues the medical licenses of every doctor in murka.
Dog whistle for: 'Good snap to 'heil' attention with crisp heel clicks. You have contributed hundreds of innoculations with COVID-19 and may very well boost our numbers in the genocide department. You might think me smug, but guess again. This is the dead-eye cock, I mean dick, facade for the final solution of open-air population reduction via fading plausible deniability. The Cocks, I mean Kochs, have nooses on the other end. If you are darker than the white of my hair, our plan is for you. That is to say, no one is exempt. Absolute compliance… or else.'
The message has been run up the flagpole numerous times and we now know who clicks their heels in salute (even if veiled by ostensible party affiliation).
RESIST and CHANGE the dominating/domination paradigm!
Dang, I thought you wrote 'eternal salvation'. Closer consideration reveals true meaning of 'internal salivation'… Isn't that a symptom of rabies ?
Pence and his fellow "Christians" are nothing but a Satan worshipping death cult. These folks give a whole new meaning to the term mentally ill. And the USA is full of them clamoring for another Civil War to prove to Jesus just how devoted and white and hateful they all are. Irony is a word they will never understand.
The upcoming civil war will be the faux Christians' 21st century crusade.
Copy the link, paste into the browser and remove the tllde at the beginning. Common Dreams doesn't allow links in the comments, so we have to have workarounds…
The smartest surviving dinosaurs are the crows, imho (crows and ravens: the corvids). Sharp as a parrot, and living by its wits like a seagull. One floated up against an offshore gale to hang in the air three feet from my nose, in the middle of the air for a minute and a half, just giving me a real definitive crow stink-eye, I think. I'm still working on the full interpretation of this interaction, last week. I've been worried about the crows and West Nile Virus around here (in "East Bay" as we say).
There are two reasons not to wear a mask.
Masks only protect other people around you. They don't protect you at all. So, if you're a sociopath then you don't care who else dies because you're the only important person in the room.
If you're quite wealthy then you don't need to wear a mask because people who have just recovered from the coronavirus have antibodies. You need to buy their plasma and have it injected into you. However, this only works for maybe two weeks at a time – coronavirus antibodies don't last for a lifetime apparently. So, you have to keep finding new recovered patients all the time and you have to always buy their silence.
Mike likes spikes. Didn't he cause an AIDS spike in Indiana while he was Governor, by not allowing needle exchanges?
Good point!
Sometimes it's surprising to see this wooden mannequin detached from his hero. He must have an earpiece with trump's voice telling him what to say. How can anyone be so stupid?
Poignant but pertinent comment BigB.
I wish he would too, but not going to happen. Fauci is no saint. He was part of the CDC "masks are ineffective" nonsense at the beginning of the pandemic. How many infections and how much did that contribute to the current disaster and large percentage of willfully ignorant Americans clinging to their "right" to not wear masks? He's very much a political animal and has been since the early days of the AIDS crisis. He seems to value his job more than lives being lost and refuses to call out the Orange Baboon on his ludricous handling of the pandemic.
I guess they have the right to drink muddy puddle water and eat food with fuzz growing on it too.
Yeah, but what a nice pipe dream.
Yep pipe dreams can be nice: Like imagining flying cars, commercial space travel in our lifetimes, humanity preventing our near term extinction due to climate collapse.

Karen – Of a Certain Age asked this question after reading my How to Create Your Personal Style post:
How can I mix, for example then, my beloved preppy J.Crew with the unstructured, creative Anthropologie? What if I don't ALWAYS want to be structured? Should I buy just one or two full outfits in the other style? Sometimes I really struggle…
The answer is – you can wear them together – a bit of each style at the same time is how you create the outfits that are really 'you'. I've done up a polyvore to give you an idea of how you can take a classic piece and put it with a more relaxed and creative piece. There is no reason to be just one style, and you will feel more confident when you mix elements of all the styles that reflect your personality.
Mixing Clothing Styles by imogenl
Mix a sheath dress with an unstructured, creative cardigan and ballet flats to dress it down and relax it.
Mix slimline cords with a jacket to up the ante.
Why not take a detailed top and mix it with a more classic shaped skirt made from a relaxed fabric.
Or take a classic shaped red skirt with sheen and put it with a funky soft neutral cardigan with some interesting detail to make a more creative statement.
Which styles do you like to put together to express your personality?

An important East Lothian hall is currently undergoing an extensive refurbishment project in order to transform it into a multipurpose performance space.
Brunton Hall was originally opened in 1971 by Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother. Designed by Rowand Anderson, Kininmonth and Paul, the building is an excellent example of late 1960s architecture. The three-storey development currently has a range of facilities, including a large first-floor hall (636m²), a theatre, council offices and a restaurant.
In April 2011, an exciting refurbishment programme began. Headed by main contractor AKP Scotland Ltd, the project has included the complete internal fit-out of the hall to create a multipurpose performance space with retractable seating for 533 people.
In order to accommodate the new performance space, a new technical access ceiling has been installed, along with a state-of-the-art control box and a sophisticated air handling plant.
Further modifications include the creation of a mezzanine gallery to house back stage facilities including dressing rooms, equipment stores, stage management office, showers and toilets. Additional facilities include a kitchen and bar area, whilst two new lift towers have been constructed for improved passenger access and the delivery of goods.
Acoustic wall panelling that has incorporated artist designs has been installed, along with state-of-the-art lighting and sound facilities.
Throughout the project PK Joiner & Building Contractor Ltd is also executing a full joinery package, which includes technical walkways, acoustic boxes and doors.
Patrick Herraghty, Architectural & Surveying Team Leader for East Lothian Council, said:
"Although challenges have arisen from working within an existing building, the project is progressing well. We are excited to deliver the new performance space, which will provide a state-of-the-art combined arts venue for Musselburgh and East Lothian."
The new hall will now be suitable for a range of purposes, from standing events and conferences to trade events, community activities, catered functions, cinema and concerts. It is hoped that the hall will attract a wide range of people and encourage community involvement and celebration.
Councillor Roger Knox commented:
"As chairman of the Brunton Theatre Trust, I see this as a huge opportunity for Musselburgh and the whole of East Lothian."

We can't think of a better way to start the new year than by watching this video of Julien Baker dancing to Half Waif's live performance of "Severed Logic"! Put on your dancing shoes and check out the ebullient clip below.
Read more: Julien Baker prefers "listeners" to "fans"
As pointed out by Stereogum, Baker—the Matador Records singer-songwriter who hit new heights on 2017's Turn Out The Lights—isn't exactly known for joyous undertakings, being more identified with a style of somber artistry thanks to wistful numbers like "Appointments" and her sophomore album's title track. However, that didn't stop the musician from totally getting down to tour-mates Half Waif's bubbly but melancholy single "Severed Logic."
Commence 2018 in a state of pure joy as Baker dances up a storm in the "unofficial" live video for the Half Waif tune. She enters frame at about the 1-minute mark, cutting loose as "Severed Logic" shifts gears into its loping, sinewy beat. "I'm so aware of all my moods," sings Half Waif's Nandi Rose Plunkett at the top of the track—and we're fully aware of our mood right now: jubilation. Seriously, we dare you to watch this without a smile on your face.
The groovy tune comes from Half Waif's EP form/a, released on Cascine in February of last year—you can grab it on Bandcamp right here.

Do not attempt to contact a judge - by mail, e-mail, phone, or in person - about any pending or potential lawsuit!
Doing so may result in serious consequences.
When a Petition and/or Motion to Modify has been filed against your child, the law generally requires that the child be represented by an attorney. Thus, you must employ an attorney for the child. That attorney must be present at the time and date of the Appearance Hearing referenced in the Summons which was served upon you and your child along with the Petition and/or Motion.

A reputation for honesty and trustworthiness is important to success in sales. In this article, we report 2 experiments examining the effects on perceived salesperson honesty of information about how the salesperson is compensated (commissions vs. straight salary). In both experiments, commissioned salesmen were perceived as less honest than were noncommissioned salesmen, but compensation method had no effect on the perceived honesty of saleswomen. The discussion of these findings focuses on their implications for sales management.

The US Open women's draw has been a minefield of upsets and wild results and while punters made their predictions, none scripted the possibility of two Americans, Sloane Stephens and Madison Keys, meeting in the women's final on Day 13 in New York.
It was Stephens who emerged the victor in what was a one-sided but significant match, 6-3 6-0.
I have no words to describe what I'm feeling, what it took to get here, just the journey I've been on. I have no words. It's incredible, I had surgery on January 23 and if someone told me then I'd win the US Open I'd say it was impossible. This journey has been incredible and I wouldn't change it for the world. Sloane Stephens
Unsurprisingly, Serena Williams was the last American to win the US Open, in 2014, and many Grand Slam titles since, but since she was out of the running to give birth to her first child, sister Venus had been the family standard bearer and looked to be a shoe-in for the final as the draw opened up.
Stephens stopped her ambitions in the semi-finals and, together with Madison Keys, has been long-heralded as the future of American women's tennis.
Incredibly, seven months ago they were both off the tour nursing injuries and now faced off in the first all-American US Open women's final since 2002, when Serena and Venus played each other, and the 10th all-American final here in the Open era.
Stephens couldn't even walk in February after the 24-year-old had to miss 11 months because of a foot injury.
She returned at Wimbledon but didn't win her first match of the season until last month in Toronto.
Keys had to miss the first two months of the season because of wrist surgery and underwent a second operation after Roland Garros in June.
Her final run was slightly more expected than Stephens', though, as the 22-year-old made some noise by winning the US Open Series event in Stanford and making the third round in Cincinnati last month.
Stephens, however, had won their only prior head-to-head last year in Miami, 6-4 6-2, but Keys was the higher ranked, the more powerful of the two contenders and therefore marginally the favourite, seeded 15th for the title.
Stepping onto Arthur Ashe Stadium, Keys sported strapping on her right thigh that probably was a factor in her impending loss.
Both started strongly, holding their respective serves comfortably, and settling in.
Stephens earned the first break, moving ahead in the fifth game and consolidating by holding her own serve for 4-2.
Growing in confidence, Stephens' defence was almost impenetrable as Keys attacked, but the firepower she had so ably displayed against CoCo Vandeweghe on Thursday was now more error prone.
She adjusted, moving forward to volley and hitting to a length to close the gap.
While Keys had fired 14 unforced errors, Stephens had struck none, showing her control on proceedings as she held for 5-3.
Keys responded with a fine serve and volley but flinched when pushed out wide to the backhand, clutching her thigh.
Although Stephens netted a forehand, her first unforced error of the match, she gained her first set point with impeccable length but then fluffed her forehand, her second.
A few points later, Keys drove a backhand wide to offer a second set point, and gave it up with a backhand sent long, her 17th error, after 30 minutes of play.
Stephens continued her smooth progression as she notched up the next three games and got to 15-40 on Keys' next service game.
The 15th seed recovered two of the break points but conceded the game with a double fault.
Hitting more purposefully, Keys kept the ball in play long enough to gain three break-back points, her first of the match, but Stephens saved the first by deftly putting away a short ball, the second with a forehand winner and the third with a gentle volley after a long rally.
Keys netted her next return but struck a forehand winner to level to deuce again.
This time, Stephens approached the net and put away another volley for her second advantage and converted when Keys netted yet another return.
At 0-5 down, after 55 minutes, Keys served to stay in the match and went down 30-40 with two more errors.
A long rally ended with a netted forehand from Stephens on the match point, but she got a second chance when Keys drove wide down the line.
Fighting for all she was worth, Keys won the next long exchange with a fine winner but failed to convert with another error.
Close friends since childhood, they shared a long hug at the net after Keys netted a forehand on the third match point, and Stephens then headed into the crowd to embrace her mother.
The two finalists texted and spoke on the phone early in 2017, when both sat out the Australian Open because of operations – Keys on her left wrist, Stephens on her left foot.
"I have no words to describe what I'm feeling, what it took to get here, just the journey I've been on," Stephens said on court after the win. "I have no words.
"It's incredible, I had surgery on January 23 and if someone told me then I'd win the US Open I'd say it was impossible.
"This journey has been incredible and I wouldn't change it for the world.
"Maddie is one of my best friends on tour, for us to be here is a special moment, I told her I wish it could have been a draw.
"I'm going to support her, no matter what. I should just retire now, I'm never going to be able to top this. I worked super hard to get back."
She will be back in the top 25 on Monday, a remarkable leap of more than 900 ranking places in a little over a month.
As for Keys, this will not go down as a good performance for her as she effectively froze on the biggest occasion of her life and will hopefully learn from the experience.
"Sloane is truly one of my favourite people and to play against her was special," Keys said. "I obviously didn't play my best tennis and Sloane was very supportive.
"If I'm going to lose to anyone today, I'm glad it's to her."
Keys had played superbly to win her semi-final against Vandeweghe, making 24 winners to just 9 errors and moving to the top of the aces chart with a display of controlled power.
Stephens had come through a far more tense encounter against Venus Williams, with her athletic defensive skills all the more remarkable as her foot had been in a protective boot as recently as May.
It was her calm consistency that prevailed in a final that became something of a horror show for Keys.
A triumph for diversity
Arthur Ashe Stadium is 20 Years' old and the US Open has been celebrating its diversity and tolerance on and off the court.
It was 60 years ago that Althea Gibson won her first US Open and 20 since the biggest stage in tennis was renamed to honour Arthur Ashe, the player, humanitarian and activist.
Those efforts to open up the sport were dramatically reflected in this week's American sweep of all four spots in the women's semi-finals, two of those players – Venus Williams and Stephens – being African-Americans and Keys bi-racial.
"I don't think there is any other word to describe it than 'amazing' for me and Maddie," said Stephens after beating Venus Williams to reach her first grand slam final.
"Obviously, Venus, we are following in her footsteps. She's been here. She's represented the game so well as an African-American woman.
"Maddie and I are here to join her and represent, just as well as Venus has in the past and honoured to be here."
Before the Williams sisters there was Ashe, the winner of three Grand Slam titles, the first black player selected to the United States Davis Cup team, who was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom.
The sight of a black man on Wimbledon's manicured lawns, French Open clay and Australian and US Open hard courts was once as jarring as it is now routine.
When the stadium was inaugurated, there was a ceremony on opening night, 25 August, 1997, when Ashe's widow Jeanne Moutassamy-Ashe spoke and Whitney Houston sang.
On that same day, Venus Williams made her US Open debut defeating Larisa Neiland in what would be the first of many appearance on Arthur Ashe.
Two decades later the thrill of playing on Ashe has not diminished for Williams, who still tingles every time she steps onto the court.
"There are not a lot of feelings that are as awesome as playing under the lights in this awesome stadium named after an unbelievable human being." said Williams. "He [Ashe] played during a time where he couldn't just focus on the tennis.
"I'm very blessed to be able to focus on my game. But he had to fight because of the colour of his skin.
"I can't even imagine the pressure he was under during that time."
While players like Venus and Serena Williams, Stephens and Keys provide inspiration for a new generation, Arthur Ashe Stadium also stands as a monument to grace, tolerance and excellence.
"To have this stadium named after Arthur Ashe is not insignificant," Martin Blackman, the USTA General Manager of Development, told Reuters.
"You think about the legacy of American tennis and you think about Althea Gibson and Arthur Ashe.
"I think this sport is becoming more accessible but we always need to have players at the top that kind of show it is possible."
With Stephens and Keys headlining women's tennis in America, the legacy is safe.

Some people think that acne only occurs during puberty. The truth is that this cosmetic condition can affect men and women well into their 30s, 40s, and even 50s. As someone dealing with acne, you know that it can be difficult to treat. What's worse, you may be left with noticeable scarring after your blemishes finally clear up.
According to the American Academy of Dermatology (AAD), acne is the most common skin disorder affecting Americans today. The AAD estimates that 40 to 50 million Americans suffer from this condition at any given time, with nearly 85% of all Americans suffering from acne at one point in their lives. Of these, the AAD estimates that 40% will develop acne scars that could require treatments from a dermatologist.
At JUVA Skin & Laser Center, we know that acne and acne scars can be incredibly frustrating. They can seem resistant to every at-home and prescription treatment. You shouldn't have to deal with low self-esteem and self-confidence caused by these marks. You deserve clear, even, and healthy skin.
We offer a variety of treatments to help you improve the appearance of your skin. If you are struggling with acne or acne scars, please call 212-688-5882 today to schedule a consultation with our experienced dermatologists. We happily welcome patients from Manhattan, Woodside, NYC, and worldwide.

What is Active Acne?
Active acne can occur on the face, back, chest, neck, shoulders, and other areas of the body. This skin condition is characterized by inflamed or infected pores. Keep in mind that active acne is different from hyperpigmentation or scarring that can appear when your blemishes fade.
The most common types of acne include:
- Whiteheads: These are small blemishes with a white appearance.
- Blackheads: These marks are characterized by the appearance of tiny black dots.
- Papules: This term describes the stage after a whitehead, where there is likely inflammation but no visible white area on the blemish.
- Pustules: This form of acne may be painful to the touch and tempting to pop, but you should avoid any squeezing action that could leave you with a scar. Many people refer to this type of acne as pimples.
- Nodules and cysts: These are more severe forms of acne and have the potential to damage your skin. Nodules and cysts are often deep and painful.
It's possible to have multiple types of active acne at once. That's why it's important to work with our dermatologists to determine your acne type. From there, they can match you with the appropriate treatments. A treatment that banishes blackheads may not be suitable for tackling deep, cystic acne.
What Causes Acne?
Acne occurs when a pore in your skin becomes clogged. Typically, this clog starts with dead skin cells. Instead of rising to the surface of the skin and falling away, some cells come in contact with a natural facial oil known as sebum. These oily skin cells may stick together and become trapped in the pore, leading to the formation of acne.
Acne can become redder and more inflamed when bacteria are involved. Certain bacteria on the surface of your skin can get trapped inside a clogged pore and multiply rapidly. Eventually, the bacteria can create a deep, painful acne cyst. Unfortunately, antibiotics and over the counter medicines may not always be effective when it comes to treating stubborn acne.
How Does Acne Become a Scar?
Not all acne breakouts lead to scarring. However, when a breakout is particularly deep or inflamed, it can damage the surrounding skin. As the blemish fades, your body attempts to fix the damage.
Unfortunately, your body may not repair the damage perfectly. A scar will form if too much or too little collagen is produced during the healing process.
You may be prone to scarring if you:
- Have inflammatory acne
- Postpone acne treatments
- Pick or squeeze your blemishes
- Have a genetic predisposition
The longer that you have inflamed, red, and irritated blemishes, the more likely you are to experience scarring. You can help prevent acne scars by pursuing an effective professional acne treatment as soon as possible. Unfortunately, it's possible to scar in spite of your best efforts to protect your skin.
Types of Acne Scars
There are many different types of acne scars. Among the most common are:
- Rolling scars: These marks form rolling depressions across the skin that sometimes resemble waves. A kind of pitted acne scar, rolling scars become more apparent with age as collagen diminishes and the skin loses its elasticity and fullness.
- Boxcar scars: Like rolling scars, boxcar scars are depressions in the skin. However, this type of atrophic acne scar has steep, clearly defined edges.
- Icepick scars: Another type of pitted acne scar, icepick scars are narrow and deep. They typically resemble a large, empty pore.
- Keloid scars: These marks are raised acne scars that are firm and often appear rubbery. They are less common than depressed scars, but may result from severe acne, genetics, or secondary infection.
- Post-inflammatory hypo- and hyper-pigmentation: Spotting or blotching of the skin may seem unrelated to acne, but pigmentation irregularities can be caused by blemishes both early and later in life. These marks may appear lighter or darker than the surrounding skin as a result of melanin production during healing.
- Post-inflammatory erythema: A condition marked by persistent redness, erythema occurs when capillaries near the skin's surface become permanently damaged or enlarged.
Each type of acne scar responds better to specific treatments. During your visit with our New York dermatologists, we will carefully assess your scarring and help you choose the option or combination of options that will produce the smooth and attractive skin you desire.
Some Ways to Manage Acne at Home
There are several habits and products that you can incorporate into your at home acne routine. Sometimes, changing a few things is enough to improve your acne. However, if you aren't seeing results or if you pimples are turning into scars, it's time to see our dermatologists.
Try the following skin care tips to help manage acne at home:
- Don't over-wash your skin: It's tempting to wash your skin frequently when you're dealing with acne. However, washing more than twice a day can do more harm than good. Over-washing can lead to irritation and new breakouts. Though you may think striping all the oil from your face is the answer, you need some sebum on your face to prevent dryness and protect your skin barrier.
- Stick to a treatment: Have you fallen into the trap of switching to a new cleanser or spot treatment, using it for a few days without seeing results, and then ditching it for a different product? Changing up your skin care routine so frequently fails to give any product enough time to work. Plus, using so many different products on your skin can cause irritation.
- Use non-comedogenic products: Some makeup, skin, and hair products can cause breakouts. Try looking for products that are labeled "non-comedogenic," which means they won't clog your pores.

JUVA's Groundbreaking Acne Research using Fractora
Microneedling is an effective treatment on its own. But Fractora takes microneedling further by combining it with fractionated radiofrequency energy. The result is an effective double-duty treatment with zero downtime. Fractora improves acne and acne scars through the production of collagen, elastin, and new skin cells.
Dr. Katz recently conducted a clinical research study in which 69% of subjects showed significant improvement in acne flare-ups and scarring. Our patients saw an overall improvement in their skin with 3 treatments every 3-4 weeks within a 6-month period. Dr. Katz is proud to announce the success of this clinical study and this treatment is now available at Juva Skin and Laser Center in New York.
Photodynamic Therapy
Photodynamic therapy can improve a wide range of acne concerns. The first step is to coat the skin with a medication called Levulan® (aminolevulinic acid HCl) that is absorbed by your oil glands and skin bacteria. The drug is then activated using a gentle laser to effectively kill acne-causing bacteria and shrink the size of your oil glands.
The treatment is painless and the results are long-lasting. To experience the best results, the treatment should be performed 5-6 times at two-week intervals. Your skin will temporarily be more sensitive to the sun after a session, so you will need to wear a sunscreen for several days after a photodynamic therapy session.
Watch stories of two patients who have dealt with adult acne. Dr. Katz uses photodynamic therapy to provide long-lasting results for these patients.
Laser Acne Treatments
Laser acne treatments offer a safe, effective, and painless way to reduce acne and acne scars. At JUVA, we offer state-of-the-art options such as:
- LightPodNeo by Aerolase: This laser penetrates both the outer and inner layers of your skin to destroy the bacteria and other dermal infections that can cause acne. The heat of the laser is specifically targeted to the glands where acne bacteria thrive in order to destroy the bacteria before acne forms. The laser light is targeted and gentle enough to leave the surrounding skin tissue unharmed
- PicoSure Laser: The PicoSure laser is FDA-approved for the treatment of acne scars and dark spots. It works by aiming short bursts of laser energy into your inner and outer tissues. This revolutionary treatment helps to eliminate red spots, dark spots, and scarring. PicoSure treatments are safe and painless. Plus, they help cleanse the pores and encourage healthy skin through the production of collagen and elastin.
- Fractional CO2 Laser: Fractional CO2 lasers excel at resurfacing the skin. This treatment removes damaged and dull layers of skin tissue, leaving the surrounding skin intact to aid in the healing process. After a treatment, your skin will begin to produce healthy new cells. This process can dramatically improve the appearance of acne scars.

Fillers for Atrophic Acne Scars
Injectable dermal fillers can help minimize the appearance of depressed acne scars. These products work by adding beneficial volume below the surface of the skin. When carefully placed under an atrophic acne scar, fillers can lift the divot and help it appear more even with the surrounding skin.
At JUVA, we tend to use Bellafill to improve acne scars. This revolutionary filler provides immediate results that can last up to five years without repeat treatments!
Chemical Peels
Chemical peels are a powerful form of chemical exfoliation that can treat acne and acne scars. This popular medispa service involves applying a special solution to the skin that sloughs away dead skin cells. Superficial, or "light-duty," chemical peels are often ideal for acne. Despite the name, many chemical peels don't actually cause the skin to peel, meaning there is little to no downtime.
In addition to mild peels, other options can be tailored to meet your unique needs. For example, spot peels can significantly improve acne scars. These peels use a special, deeply-penetrating formula. In some cases, a stronger peel may also be appropriate.
Acne and Emotional Health
Acne doesn't just affect your appearance; it can take a toll on your emotional wellbeing. Many patients with acne or acne scars report feeling self-conscious, unattractive, or embarrassed. If you suffer from acne, you may feel like you can't leave the house or see your friends without applying makeup or covering up.
Studies have found that people with acne tend to suffer from:
- Depression
- Poor self-image
- Anxiety
- Feelings of isolation
- A decreased quality of life
If you suffer from stubborn acne and acne scars that don't respond to your skin care routine or antibiotics, contact our team. The longer you have to deal with acne and scarring, the more likely it is that these concerns will cause you emotional distress. Our world-class dermatologists would love to meet with you and explain the ideal treatment or treatments for your situation.
