A day at the spa grants sweet respite from a fast-paced world of errands, deadlines, and books on tape read by auctioneers. Savor serenity without speediness, thanks to today's Groupon: for $39, you get a synergie toning massage or ultimate synergietm vacuum facial and toning at All Star Massage & Spa in Bellevue (an $85 value).
All Star Massage & Spa revives unbalanced bodies with a mentally and physically calming buffet of spa services. Each spa visit begins with a cup of warm tea in the relaxation room. During the synergie toning massage, a dynatronics vacuum machine runs across skin bumps for 30-40 minutes, seeking out potentially problematic strains of cellulite like a hall monitor staring in the mirror. Afterward, newly tightened skin emerges along with rejuvenated circulation and increased lymphatic drainage. All Star’s experienced aestheticians also target facial wrinkles in the 45-minute ultimate synergietm vacuum facial, a purge of fine lines that also includes a classic facial.

The Groupon Guide to: Temperature Scales
To determine whether a soft drink is cool enough to put out a small mouth fire or hot enough to melt restrictive pants into billowing shorts, scientists turn to one of their many temperature scales. Here's a look at the most popular hierarchies of heating:
Fahrenheit: The only temperature scale grand enough for the wide-open land of freedom we call the U.S. of A. Using this commonsense scale, water boils at 212 degrees—212 being the exact number of minutes you can stick your hand in boiling water for before it starts to hurt.
Celsius: Named after St. Celsion, patron saint of apocryphal headache remedies, this illogical scale has water freeze at 0 degrees and boil at 100 degrees, even though 100 has twice as many zeroes in it as the number 0 does, so if anything, 100 degrees should be twice as cold as 0 degrees.
Kelvin: In the Kelvin scale, absolute zero refers to the temperature at which all thermal motion ceases. The only thing that can withstand this extreme temperature is the cold heart of a man whose will to live has been extinguished by a lifetime of regret and sadness, a.k.a. all men.
McKinley: Named after President William McKinley, who routinely governed with such musings as "I'm too hot to president today," and "I'm cold. Let's invade my fireplace with an army of grahamed crackers and marshed mallows." On this scale, 100 degrees is the temperature at which the Spanish-American War breaks out.
