Epila Laser Hair Removal System

I anticipate the sound of a collective tummy rumble this week, because much of the news I have to share has to do with the restaurant scene. And, boy, is it juicy.

Up first, there's something many of us have been waiting more than a year and a half to hear: Central Avenue has an O'Niell's Pub again.

After some lease issues in December 2004, owner Rob O'Niell closed his pub at 3211 Central Ave. S.E. But on Friday, he unlocked the doors for a "soft opening" at the new spot, 4310 Central Ave. S.E. That means a big, grand opening celebration is in the works. That one is planned for sometime later this month. If you're interested in popping in for those festivities, keep an eye on the pub's Web site: www.oniells.com.

Also on the site is information about how to apply for a job, pub hours and more (a menu is coming soon).

Meridian to Attend AestheticMD Mesotherapy Conference Introducing ...

SEOUL, KOREA -- (MARKET WIRE) -- July 27, 2006 -- Meridian Co., Ltd. ("Meridian") (OTCBB: MRDAF), announced today that it will be attending the AestheticMD Mesotherapy conference held July 28 and July 29, 2006 at the Wynn resort in Las Vegas, Nevada.

The mandate of the conference is to train physicians in the methods of Mesotherapy; Mesotherapy, pioneered in the 1950s by French physician Dr. Michel Pistor, is the painless injection of vitamins, minerals, medications, and amino acids placed just under the surface of the skin. Mesotherapy has a variety of applications including weight loss, cellulite reduction, face and neck rejuvenation, and hair re-growth. Therefore, the injected solution is individually prepared depending on its purpose. Unlike other medical treatments, Mesotherapy is administered directly to the desired area.
