Ben drowned x reader LEMON!!!!!!!!
You walked to the dark green door and opened it. You walk in the room to see a normal room one bed and a desk with a desk lamp and a computer.
The desk lamp was dim but it lite up the room fairly good to the point were you can see your surroundings. You walked over to the computer and saw it was on! A window was opened and it was on cleverbot.com.
You typed in "hello…"
"Hello who are you?" It asked.
"(Name)" "who are you?"
You guys talked for a while but then he stopped talking. You dont know why. You walked around the room for a while and sooner or later you sat on the bed and fell asleep.
*bing!* you heard a noise coming from the computer. You sat at the desk chair and found someone sent a email? You open the email to find some writing or at story. The story was on a website called creepypasta.Com. it was a story you heard about you read it once but didn't remember what it was about so once more you read it.
After you finished you went on clever bot again and typed in
"Are you ben?"
"…yes…" shivers ran down your spine. And final you got enough courage to type in "are you real?"
"Yes" you sat the stund you though all of these storys were fake! They can't be real right? You sat there just mind blow and final you looked up at the screen and saw that ben has typed in "im coming out…" this was bizarre because you haven't even texted him back.
The lights shut off right after you read that text. The computer turned to a blue screen and started to get fuzzy and made those ear shredding noise that you hated. You were sure your ears would bleed but the room started to shake. You hid under the bed and layed their starring at the desk leg.
You waited there for what seemed like years and final it stoped and you saw two brown boots hit the floor with a loud thud. You creeped over under the bed just enough to give you a good view of what this person looked like.
You peaked over to see a small boy about as tall as you maybe a few cm. Taller. he had a very dark green out fit on with a long dark green hat under his hat was blond hair that covered his face and he had a sword at his side.
He put the cover on the sword and threw it on the bed. He kneed one one knee and reached under the bed and grabed your wrist and pulled you out from under the bed! He raised you up and you stared into his crimson red eyes that had dried dark red blood coming from each eye.
"PLEASE LET ME GO!" You screamed and squirmed as he hald your wrist so tight that it hurt.
He smirked as he pinder you on the was and kissed you so hard you lips stared to hurt. He came up for a breath of air and gave a little laugh and moved down to you neck. He kissed your neck gently and moved to your collar bone and toyed with your sensitive flesh till it turned bright pink. You mouned under your breath as a faint blush creeped over your face you bite the bottom of you lip as the bloned haired boys hand let go of your wrists and mover over your skin and one ran down your back to your entrance. He entered one finger in you and gently and slowly mover it in and out.
"AH!…n …no ben!" You clung onto his back as he entered another finger. He picked you up and layed you on the bed and you had a feeling this was going to be a long night…
"AH~ …NO STOP… I …IM GOING TO AH~!" You heard the bed banging on the wall slow down as your body final fell on the bed from exhaustion. You layed your head on the soft pillow and looked into the blond boys red eyes as he leaned and kissed you.
"You've meet with a terrible fate haven't you?" He asked with the slightest smirk on his face.
You smile and looked at him once more "no …… cause I have you…" he blushed at your answer.You snuggle into his chest as he put his arm around you and held you tight as you drifted off to sleep.

Time-division-multiplexing using pulse position locking for 100 Gb/s applications
Optics Express, Vol. 17, Issue 8, pp. 6562-6567 (2009)
Enhanced HTML Acrobat PDF (160 KB)
Recently, there is a great interest in pushing communication technologies to 100 Gb/s. However, there are still many challenges to perform high speed (> 40 Gb/s) clock and data recovery, and data time-division-multiplexing (TDM). Here, we propose and numerically analyze an asynchronous optical packet retimer using parabolic or sinusoidal phase modulation and linear dispersion. This scheme is named pulse position locking (PPL). Numerical simulation shows that this scheme can effectively resynchronize input signals with arbitrary delays to the local clock, and reduce input jitter. The scheme can also be applied to TDM 10 Gb/s and 40 Gb/s signals to over 100 Gb/s.

Healthy living, herbal remedies and DIY natural beauty.
By Robyn Griggs Lawrence
Tags: homemade cat food, herbal cat food, herbs for cats, homemade pet food, Lynne Alley, Herb Companion, natural pet food, Robyn Griggs Lawrence
If it's not already, parsley and cilantro will soon be popping up in gardens and farmers markets. In addition to gracing your family's table, consider pampering your pet with fresh spring herbs. Lynn Alley, a California-based writer who has been cooking for her pets for years, offers up this delicious cat food recipe in the current issue of the Herb Companion. Why not plant some herbs for kitty?
Homemade Cat Food
2 cups protein (human-grade raw ground round, chuck or sirloin; ground chicken or turkey, occasional organ meats, all from animals raised without antibiotics or hormones)
1⁄2 cup carbohydrate (any fruits or vegetables your cat enjoys, such as apples, blueberries, broccoli, asparagus, carrots, zucchini, green beans, collard greens, kale, finely chopped alfalfa sprouts, and roasted veggies such as winter squash or yams)
1⁄2 tablespoon finely chopped parsley or cilantro leaves
Pinch finely ground psyllium, celery, dill, fennel or caraway seeds (optional)
1. Combine protein and carbohydrates. Plate the food you plan to serve, and store the leftovers in a glass container in the fridge.
2. Add herbs just before serving. If desired, add the ground seeds and water. Serve.

Dust plumes blew over parts of Mexico, New Mexico, and Texas in early February 2013. The Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) on NASA's Terra satellite captured this true-color image on February 9.
This image shows the dust storm on the morning of February 9; MODIS on NASA's Aqua satellite observed the same region on the afternoon of the same day. Dust plumes arose from multiple source points—which look like pinpoints of beige that fan out toward the northeast—in Mexico. A substantial plume also arose from New Mexico's White Sands National Monument. This national monument is a giant gypsum dune field covering some 275 square miles (710 square kilometers), and as its name implies, its gypsum sands are pearly white. Dust plumes from White Sands National Monument reflect the pale hues of their source sediments.

The Weekly Update: Recruiting news and notes
By Tom VanHaaren
The Weekly Update at WolverineNation is a sneak peak inside Michigan recruiting.
As with everything we do here, we ask that this information stays on The Den Forum.
This information is for WolverineNation subscribers only.
Subscribers found to be passing this information to other sites or by email will be banned from the forum. The reason why it is posted on the forum is because it is the only way to ensure that the info is exclusive to WolverineNation. This will work only if everyone helps make it work.
On to the update …
Michigan offered 2013 teammates wide receiver
Jordan Cunningham
and defensive tackle
Maquedius Bain
from University School of Nova Southeast in Florida. The offer to Bain was interesting as he had been committed to Florida State for some time.
The offer was extended, and Bain remains committed to the Seminoles but is eyeing other programs, including Michigan.
"I'm just looking at my options and seeing how they go," he said. "I appreciated that Michigan offered me, and I'm just taking some time to get to know the Michigan coaches."
Bain and Cunningham haven't had a chance to really sit down and talk about their recruitment yet, but they plan on doing so soon. They plan on making individual decisions, but since they are close they are communicating with each other about their likes and dislikes.
"Jordan is one of my good friends, and he's an exceptional player. He has the potential to be a slot or a receiver," he said. " Jordan and I are going to sit down and talk to see what schools are good for us. If we can get up (to Michigan) at the same time then that would be wonderful."
He hasn't discussed visits with his coach or mother, so he isn't sure if or when he'd be able to make the trip to Ann Arbor.
Despite his commitment to Florida State it seems as though Michigan might have a few positives in their corner to help sway the No. 35 overall player in the country.
"We look at academics first, because without that there's no football. We look at the graduation rate, and what the coaches do for the players after they graduate," he said. "Our principal (William Kopas) swam at Michigan, too. We haven't talked about it yet, but we'll ask him about Michigan and see what he loved about it."
The 6-foot-5, 285-pound defensive tackle has the top programs in the country after him, and it's easy to see why.
"I'm a quick defensive tackle. I'm very athletic and strong," he said. "I use my size very wisely, and I just make sure I penetrate and stay low."
Bain plans on enjoying the recruiting process while still committed to Florida State, however solid that commitment might be.
"I want to take my time and make sure that I pick the school that's the right place for me," he said.
As was the case with the 2013 class, the offensive line will again be a focus for 2014. The coaching staff has already extended nine offers to 2014 offensive line prospects, including
Demetrius Knox
(Fort Worth, Texas/All Saints Episcopal).
Knox has an offer list consisting of Alabama, Baylor, Michigan, Nebraska, Ohio State and TCU, among others. Quite a list for a sophomore to say the least.
"I knew I was good at this level, but I didn't think I would get this much exposure," he said. "I finally started to get on the recruiting map when I went to the NFTC in Dallas and came in first place for all linemen."
At 6-foot-4, 296 pounds it's easy to see him having his way with opponents in a camp setting.
Knox says he plans on camping and visiting schools all over the country. He'd like to make it out to Texas, USC, Ohio State, Michigan, Florida, Oklahoma, Nebraska, UCLA and Oregon, among others. Part of why he's adamant about seeing programs across the map is because he's not originally from Texas.
"I'm from Ohio; I moved to Texas in seventh grade," he said. "Since I'm from Ohio it really started out that I wanted offers from Ohio State and Michigan. I had a narrow mindset about the whole thing."
Knox says he did grow up as an Ohio State fan, but he plans on making a business decision not based off his fandom. He has family in both Ohio and Michigan, and because of that he is familiar with the Wolverines.
"Growing up so close to Michigan and having family there I know they have a great program," he said. "The linemen that go there always succeed, the academics speak for themselves, and the Big Ten Conference is a good conference. I've talked to the coaches for awhile and they're just really cool."
It is still early in the process for Knox, and he says he would like to wait to make a decision. That, however, could change depending on how well he can keep a secret.
"Deep down I want to wait until signing day, but really truly I think I'm close to making a decision but I'll keep it to myself," he said. "I'd love to wait until about this time next year, though."
He would like to wait and make sure he gets a chance to see as many schools as possible. He hasn't gotten the chance to meet all the coaches and really get to know them, which is something that's important to him.
"I want to have a great relationship with the coaching staff. Nick Saban from Alabama offered me personally over the phone, which was a great start," he said. "One of my main priorities is also academics. If I can't see myself without the football aspect then I don't think I should be there."
Michigan will also be focusing on the defensive line for the 2014 class, and a prospect that is already standing out is defensive tackle
Dexter Wideman
(Saluda, S.C./Saluda).
Wideman holds offers from Michigan, Clemson and South Carolina. The offer from the Wolverines came as a surprise.
"Michigan offered right before we started spring practice, and I don't really know anything about Michigan," he said. "I was really surprised. I didn't think I was going to get an offer from Michigan, a big school like that out of state."
Although he doesn't know much about Michigan, he said that they are a school he is hoping to see this summer.
"If we can set up a visit then I will try to make it up there," he said. "I'm going to take some visits and go to some summer camps. I'd like to go to Michigan's and Tennessee's, too."
He's already 6-foot-3, 275 pounds, and the way things are going he could be one of the top prospects in his class. He has been hearing from a lot of schools as of late, and has seen coaches in and out of his school, but he thinks a huge offer might be coming soon.
"I think Alabama might offer soon," he said. "They came by the school already and they send me a lot of letters, so we'll see."

Aehr Test Systems' CEO Discusses Q2 2012 Results - Earnings Call Transcript
The company disclaims any obligation to update information contained in any forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances occurring after the date of this conference call. Now I'd like to introduce our Executive Chairman, Rhea Posedel. Rhea?
Rhea J. Posedel
Thank you, Gary. Good afternoon, and welcome to our conference call for the second quarter of fiscal year 2012. Let me begin by saying I'm pleased to announce that on Tuesday, Gayn Erickson was appointed CEO of Aehr Test. I'm in excellent health and was planning to work until I was 70, but with the acquisition of Verigy by Advantest last year, Gayn became available. We are fortunate to have hired a senior executive with 23 years of semiconductor, test and general management experience. With Gayn's strong marketing and engineering background from a top-tier test company, we are confident that he will do an outstanding job and has the management skill set needed to take Aehr Test to the next level. I will remain with the company as Executive Chairman and will work with Gayn on strategic plans to grow the company.
Since Gayn just started this week, I will be giving today's conference call. Gayn will, however, say a few words at the conclusion of my talk.
On a positive note, net sales for the quarter were $3.9 million, 8% higher compared to the second quarter of fiscal 2011. We had several highlights that I'd like to bring to your attention. First, we are very pleased to report that our valuation ABTS-L56i burn-in system passed its qualification at a leading IDM. Most importantly, we expect to receive an order to record revenue for this evaluation system this quarter. This would be a major win for us because it's a production account, and we believe this customer could order significant number of ABTS-L56i systems over the long term. Their target application is for burn-in of high-power logic devices requiring individual temperature control per device.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

"Rapunzel" (/rəˈpʌnzəl/; German pronunciation: [ʁaˈpʊnt͡səl]) is a German fairy tale in the collection assembled by the Brothers Grimm, and first published in 1812 as part of Children's and Household Tales.[1] The Grimm Brothers' story is an adaptation of the fairy tale Persinette by Charlotte-Rose de Caumont de La Force originally published in 1698.[2] Its plot has been used and parodied in various media and its best known line ("Rapunzel, Rapunzel, let down your hair") is an idiom of popular culture. In volume I of the 1812 annotations (Anhang), it is listed as coming from Friedrich Schulz Kleine Romane, Book 5, pp. 269–288, published in Leipzig 1790.
In the Aarne–Thompson classification system for folktales it is type 310, "The Maiden in The Tower".[3]
Andrew Lang included it in The Red Fairy Book.[4] Other versions of the tale also appear in A Book of Witches by Ruth Manning-Sanders and in Paul O. Zelinsky's 1997 Caldecott Medal-winning picture book, Rapunzel and the Disney movie Tangled.
Rapunzel's story has striking similarities to the 10th-century AD Persian tale of Rudāba, included in the epic poem Shahnameh by Ferdowsi. Rudāba offers to let down her hair from her tower so that her lover Zāl can climb up to her.[5] Some elements of the fairy tale might also have originally been based upon the tale of Saint Barbara, who was said to have been locked in a tower by her father.[6]
A lonely couple, who want a child, live next to a walled garden belonging to a witch. The wife, experiencing the cravings associated with the arrival of her long-awaited pregnancy, notices a rapunzel plant (or, in some versions[7] of the story, rampion), growing in the garden and longs for it, desperate to the point of death. One night, her husband breaks into the garden to gather some for her; on a second night, as he scales the wall to return home, an evil witch named Dame Gothel catches him and accuses him of theft. He begs for mercy, and she agrees to be lenient, on condition that the then-unborn child be given to her at birth. Desperate, he agrees. When the baby is born, Dame Gothel takes her to raise as her own, and names her Rapunzel, after the plant her mother craved. She grows up to be the most beautiful child in the world with long golden hair. When she reaches her twelfth year, Dame Gothel shuts her away in a tower in the middle of the woods, with neither stairs nor a door, and only one room and one window. When she visits her, she stands beneath the tower and calls out:
Rapunzel, Rapunzel, let down your hair, so that I may climb the golden stair.
Upon hearing these words, Rapunzel would wrap her long, fair hair around a hook beside the window, dropping it down to Dame Gothel, who would then climb up the hair to Rapunzel's tower room. (A variation on the story also has Dame Gothel imbued with the power of flight and/or levitation and Rapunzel unaware of her hair's length.)
One day, a prince rides through the forest and hears Rapunzel singing from the tower. Entranced by her ethereal voice, he searches for her and discovers the tower, but is naturally unable to enter. He returns often, listening to her beautiful singing, and one day sees Dame Gothel visit, and thus learns how to gain access to Rapunzel. When Dame Gothel has gone, he bids Rapunzel let her hair down. When she does so, he climbs up, makes her acquaintance, and eventually asks her to marry him. She agrees.
Together they plan a means of escape, wherein he will come each night (thus avoiding the Dame Gothel who visits her by day), and bring Rapunzel a piece of silk, which she will gradually weave into a ladder. Before the plan can come to fruition, however, she foolishly gives the prince away. In the first edition of Grimm's Fairy Tales, she innocently says that her dress is getting tight around her waist (indicating pregnancy); in the second edition, she asks Dame Gothel (in a moment of forgetfulness) why it is easier for her to draw up the prince than her.[8] In anger, she cuts off Rapunzel's hair and casts her out into the wilderness to fend for herself.
When the prince calls that night, Dame Gothel lets the severed hair down to haul him up. To his horror, he finds himself staring at her instead of Rapunzel, who is nowhere to be found. When she tells him in anger that he will never see Rapunzel again, he leaps from the tower in despair and is blinded by the thorns below. In another version, she pushes him and he falls on the thorns, thus becoming blind.
For months, he wanders through the wastelands of the country and eventually comes to the wilderness where Rapunzel now lives with the twins she has given birth to, a boy and a girl. One day, as she sings while fetching water, he hears her voice again, and they are reunited. When they fall into each other's arms, her tears immediately restore his sight. He leads her and their children to his kingdom, where they live happily ever after.
In some versions of the story, Rapunzel's hair magically grows back after the prince touched it.
In another version of the story, it ends with the revelation that the enchantress had untied Rapunzel's braid after the prince leapt from the tower, and it slipped from her hands and landed far below, leaving her trapped in the tower.[1]
The seemingly uneven bargain with which "Rapunzel" opens is a common trope in fairy tales which is replicated in "Jack and the Beanstalk", Jack trades a cow for beans, and in "Beauty and the Beast", Belle comes to the Beast in return for a rose.[9] Folkloric beliefs often regarded it as quite dangerous to deny a pregnant woman any food she craved. Family members would often go to great lengths to secure such cravings.[10] Such desires for lettuce and like vegetables may indicate a need on her part for vitamins.[11] From a scientific interpretation the enchantress Dame Gothel is rather obviously a witch or medicine woman, who had mastered the use and production of a plant or drug capable of saving Rapunzel's mother from complications of pregnancy. Ergotics, opioids or cannabis can be considered candidates in the original Persian or subsequent versions of the tale, by analogy to the problem of Delphos' Oracle.
An influence on Grimm's Rapunzel was Petrosinella or Parsley, written by Giambattista Basile in his collection of fairy tales in 1634, Lo cunto de li cunti (The Story of Stories), or Pentamerone. This tells a similar tale of a pregnant woman desiring some parsley from the garden of an ogress, getting caught, and having to promise the ogress her baby. The encounters between the prince and the maiden in the tower are described in quite bawdy language. A similar story was published in France by Mademoiselle de la Force, called "Persinette". As Rapunzel did in the first edition of the Brothers Grimm, Persinette becomes pregnant during the course of the prince's visits.[8]

In the U.S. TV series Once Upon a Time (3.14, The Tower), Rapunzel is locked in the tower by her own choice. She is afraid to face the responsibility of taking over her kingdom from her parents, who are still alive.
In the U.S. TV animated anthology series Happily Ever After: Fairy Tales for Every Child (1.8, Rapunzel), the classic story is retold with a full African-American cast and set in a New Orleans bayou. Whoopi Goldberg guest stars as the witch.

The journey from childhood to adolescence is very challenging. Between the ages of 10 and 17 there are major changes in physical, cognitive, social, and moral development. The major task for adolescents is to establish their self-identity. By determining--as best they can--a sense of who they are, they attempt to move into a group that reflects or reinforces this self-identity. The group allows them to feel that they stand out from the crowd. This phase of development allows the adolescent to search for their sense of self. This is in order to answer the increasingly important question that they could not consider in earlier stages of development: "Who am I?"
Physical Development
Physical development is a critical part of adolescence. How an adolescent perceives their physical self; that is, what they think they look like and how they feel about it, directly relates to their overall sense of self-worth. Many of these feelings are influenced by their culture, the media, their peers, and their families. They are also influenced by their own initial sense of self-esteem as they enter this rapidly changing phase of physical development. We know that the changes are rapid and often drastic, resulting in rapid growth and physical maturity.
In order to examine physical development in adolescence, it may be broken down into two main stages. These smaller stages will focus on early adolescence, which is during the ages of approximately 10-14 for most children, and then late adolescence, occurring during the ages of 15-18. Many professionals are also using the term "emerging adulthood" to extend the period of adolescence into early adulthood, typically the ages of 18-23. This is the result of many American youth delaying adulthood by attending college or vocational schools prior to taking on the responsibilities of adulthood.
Early adolescence, ages 10-14 years
During this early stageof adolesence there is a sharp increase in physical growth. Coming off the childhood spurts of 10 yrs for girls and 10 ½ yrs for boys, changes occur in early adolescence at around age 11. Girls become taller and heavier. Their pubertal growth spurt happens about two years earlier than boys. At around age 14, however, the boys growth spurt begins again and they pass the girls, as the girls are almost finished growing. Body changes occur during puberty that reverse some of the basic growth trends of childhood. For example, the hands, legs, and feet accelerate and then the torso, resulting in the adolescent height gain (Wheeler, 1991). This explains why adolescents often seem out of proportion for a while. They are awkward and gangly with long legs, and feet and hands that don't seem to fit the rest of their body. Then the body fills out. This explains the need for clothes that change sizes with the filling out of the frame (Berk, 2000).
Boys tend to end up larger than girls. This is a result of two extra years of preadolescent growth. Their legs are longer in relation to their body and they have broader shoulders in relation to their hips. Meanwhile, girls end up with hips that are broader in relation to their shoulders and waist. This is a result of the sex hormones acting on skeletal growth. Gains in large muscle development have leveled off by age 14 for girls. But, boys continue to experience a dramatic spurt in strength, speed, and endurance.

The study was led by Dr. Leandro Castello, a research associate at the Woods Hole Research Center (WHRC), in collaboration with scientists from various institutions in the United States and Brazil. These included the Amazon Environmental Research Institute (IPAM), the University of California at Santa Barbara (UCSB), Brazil's National Institute for Space Research (INPE), and The Nature Conservancy (TNC).
Damage to Amazon freshwater ecosystems greatly impacts Amazonians, who historically have been so dependent on freshwater ecosystem goods and services that they have been called 'water peoples.' Current per capita fish consumption in the Brazilian Amazon averages 94 kg/yr in riverine populations, which is almost six times the world average. Increasing fishing pressure has shrunk the size of harvested species, partly due to the progressive depletion of high-value, large-bodied species. A century ago, the mean maximum body length of the main species harvested in the basin was ~206 cm—today it is ~79 cm.
Science and policy in the Amazon have focused largely on forests and their associated biodiversity and carbon stocks. Three decades of effort have generated an understanding of some key biophysical transitions in the basin, and established a network of protected areas, largely designed to preserve forests and their biodiversity. Little attention has been paid to freshwater ecosystems, which through the hydrological cycle are interconnected to other ecosystems at local and distant locations, being highly sensitive to a broad array of human impacts.
"Despite some terrestrial protections that are high by global standards, this paper shows key gaps in protection for the Amazon's freshwater systems and species," commented Robin Abell, the Senior Freshwater Conservation Biologist at World Wildlife Fund. The Madeira River basin, for example, is threatened by oil exploration, deforestation and dams in its headwaters, even though protected areas cover 26% of the catchment area. "The pressures that the authors detail need to be addressed now, before conservation opportunities are lost. Restoration can be far costlier than proactive protection," cautioned Abell.
The principal threat to most Amazon freshwater ecosystems is large-scale alteration of the basin's natural hydrology. "There are a total of 154 hydroelectric dams in operation, 21 in construction, and plans to construct 277 additional dams in the future. There are also thousands of small dams located in small streams to provide water for cattle," noted coauthor Marcia Macedo of WHRC. "These infrastructure projects, together with deforestation-induced changes to regional rainfall, could fundamentally change the hydrology of Amazon freshwater systems," she added. The study suggests that, if uncontrolled, such hydrological alterations could disrupt fish migrations and associated fishery yields, threatening riverine livelihoods and food security.
Adequate protection of Amazon freshwater ecosystems requires broadening the forest-centric focus of prevailing environmental management and conservation strategies to encompass aquatic ecosystems. By building upon existing protected areas, it is possible to develop a river catchment-based conservation framework that protects both aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems, effectively protecting the Amazon river-forest system. The Amazon watershed spans six countries, with Brazil, Bolivia, and Peru accounting for most of the area. Therefore, "A pan-Amazonian, catchment-based approach is critical, in addition to national conservation and management efforts," said coauthor Dr. Laura Hess of Earth Research Institute, UCSB.
"There are environmental issues everywhere, but the case with Amazon freshwater ecosystems is different, because no one talks about it. Their problem has been concealed," said Castello. Emphasizing the need for a shift, he added, "Significant strides in Amazon conservation have been on deforestation because deforestation has been studied and monitored year after year. We now need to do the same for these aquatic ecosystems."

Customer Ratings:
I was one of those who really wanted to like this product after wanting to try it for months one day I bought it thinking that will make my skin glow from within on an upcoming friends wedding. the first couple of nights I applied it my skin stayed in a good condition (as what I had before) until the 3rd night when I started getting breakouts and I thought it was gonna stop eventually but it didn't every morning I wake up with more and MORE crystal ACNE I'm really disappointed with this product.
Thanks for your review! For some, first time use of a well formulated BHA exfoliant can make skin "get worse before it gets better". What happens is that the pore exfoliation can trigger a mass exodus of inflammatory substances and oil that, under the right conditions, can create breakouts. Sounds counter-intuitive, but it can happen for some people. Unless you suspect you're experiencing an adverse reaction, you may want to stay the course. It's highly likely that this is a temporary side effect that will quickly fade and you'll be seeing smooth, clear, clog-free skin in a matter of days. But if you remain unhappy, we encourage you to contact us for a refund or exchange.
I have mild to moderate acne and pink acne marks on my cheeks and chin usually caused by hormone fluctuations. Most acne systems are too harsh for me (benzoyl peroxide is a nightmare on my skin), but I know my skin likes salicylic acid so I was willing to give this exfoliant a try anyway because it's so hard to find one without alcohol or witch hazel. This combined with my mild cleansing and moisturizing routine has absolutely changed my skin for the better - it's so much more radiant and clear!
I don't suffer from breakouts but I got a sample of this because my skin is off-the-charts sensitive and I have a hard time finding exfoliants that don't give me hives. I LOVE this! No hives, my skin is soft and dewy, it's even-toned and I swear my skin feels firmer! I immediately bought a full bottle. I can't wait to see the long-term results.
Gives skin a glow, renews skin. This is a must for every women. This is really helping to renew my skin. I can see my skin looks smoother, firmer and softer. Thanks
This product is truly amazing, the only downside is that I always feel like product is being wasted when I damp tissue and put it on my face. It's not too expensive but it's also not the cheapest. I have not found another product like this so I will be repurchasing and doing everything I can to make sure I keep this in stock. It tones out your skin, cleans out your pores and gets rid of those tiny bumps at the bottom of my chin. It's truly amazing, I always get skin compliments when I use it.
I have been using this for 3 months and I absolutely love it. I have combo skin + cystic acne. It's hard to find a product that doesn't cause breakouts without drying out my skin. I apply this every night with a cotton ball then move on to moisturizer etc. My skin is brighter plus it controls my acne. I've noticed when I skip using this my acne returns & my face looks dull. It works!
I am a black woman that is 53 years old with a honey colored medium skin tone. I have combination skin. I purchased the trial size to reduce large pores caused by Rosacea. This product caused dry patches along with wrinkles!! only after a week of using the Skin Perfecting 2% BHA Liquid Exfoliant. It is very drying and did not shrink my pores. I now have to work diligently at moisturizing my face to try and repair the damage caused by this product. Use at your own risk.
Hello, and thank you for your comments - we're sorry to hear this didn't work as expected for you! Please contact a member of our Customer Care team, who might be able to assist you with a possible exchange or refund.
Disappointed. I've been using this (along with other PC products) once a day for 5 days and there has been no reduction in the blackheads on my nose and chin (which is the whole reason I got this product). The only thing it's done is made my nose dry and flaky, so I guess technically its made my nose worse.
Hello, and thanks for your comments - we're sorry to hear this didn't work as expected for you! Please contact a member of our Customer Care team for information about a possible exchange or refund.
I just used this once a day (night time) two nights in a row. Then I realized that it actually reddened my acne. How can I fix this? I followed with my usual Kiehl's Midnight Recovery Concentrate and Super Multi Cream.
Hi there! We suggest discontinuing use of the Kiehl's products, as both contain fragrant ingredients that can potentially irritatoin that the BHA Liquid will exaggerate.
I was trying to find a replacement for my beloved Murad Acne Exfoliating Gel, but this is too strong for me and makes me red and flakey. My skin isn't particularly sensitive, but it just couldn't handle this. I'm going to try a more gentle product salicylic acid to help with my clog-prone skin.
Used for 3 months - initially broke me out but made skin smooth. Helped with breakout healing time but didn't do much to prevent new breakouts. I've stopped using this and I can't tell any difference so it doesn't seem like the product was doing much... also my pores never seemed smaller or more refined with this product. It makes me sad because the idea of an exfoliant seems logical and beneficial... maybe I was doing something wrong?
Hello, and thank you for sharing your experience with us - please contact a member of our Customer Care team, who can help go through your skin care routine with you and possibly determine how to make it more effective!
I had clogged pores that looked bad especially when I put foundation on---after three days of using this product, my face is much clearer and the pores are small and clean. I've been using Paula's Choice for a couple of years now and I"m very particular about my skin (I've had skin cancer and some major surgery on my face). This product has given me the most visible results of any of the products I use.
I have dry, sensitive skin and have had very bad acne in the past. Im 18 now and after using this product for roughly a year i know for certain its whats keeping my skin clear, i break out when i stop using it and even though ive tried other products with salycylic acid nothing has ever gave me good results, except this product. I think its the liquid form that soaks in deep to unclog pores whilst still being relatively gentle on the skin.
I have sensitive skin,and before I tried this product,my skin was pretty good,the only concern is the appearence of pores,so this product sounded perfect for me,sensitive skin safe,and works for pore problems .BUT I had a terrible reaction to the 2% BHA liquid.After I tried it last week, itchy, red,burning skin covered in tons of tiny bumps,even now,still not calming down,I really felt so disappointed,I have never had a reaction like that before.:(

You can tell a difference in one night. My skin likes this stuff. Lessens the size of my pores and makes my skin look smooth.
I just have a question that can I use this product with my current Olay products like serum and night cream. Is that too much to use this product, serum and moisturizer at the same time?
Hello, and thanks for the question! It should be just fine to use all of them together.
Stay away if you have active acne, since this broke me out even more. Wouldn't even give this away.
I knew that salicylic acid was supposed to be an exfoliant and one of the best ways to treat acne, but I avoided any products that contained it because every product with salicylic acid dried my face out causing flakes and did nothing for my acne. Then I found Paula's Choice and learned all about harsh ingredients, alcohol, and proper pH. This stuff does work! In combination with PC cleanser, toner, and moisturizer my face is smooth and flake free and my cystic acne is under control! Gentle too!
I have been using this product faithfully for a few years now. I just turned 59 and my skin has never looked better. It is moist, dewy and line-free. Due to budget issues I have had to eliminate some items from my skincare regimen, but I will never, ever give this up. I have not found anything else like it out there. Thank you Paula for this miracle product.
This is magic in a bottle. This summer I had my first signs of perimenopause in the form of hormonal acne. Turned to my teen's products, which only exacerbated the problem, drying my skin so much that it was sore to the touch. I've been on 0.02% trentinoin for 2 years so I knew I had to add something else. Perhaps my skin was no longer exfoliating properly and thus, this lead me to exfoliants. This in the morning and the 8% AHA at night have transformed my skin to the best condition EVER.
This product is Great! Literally the first facial product that has worked for me. I have dry, acne-prone, sensitive skin, and this product didn't irritate at all. Yes, I experienced a few days of "purging" but afterwards, my skin was (and still is) practically blemish free! I'm so happy I finally tried this product. I would recommend this to anyone who is struggling with acne, blackheads, or just wants an exfoliant to help with skin texture; it works!
I cannot say enough good things about this product, I have been using it for the past year and have seen an incredible change in my skin. It is the only thing that has kept my cystic acne at bay.The only downfall is a little bit of extra dryness around my chin, easily remedied with extra moisturizer. Love this product, totally recommend!
I never bother to leave reviews, but this product is worth it. I have battled mild/moderate acne for 16 years. This products works quickly, is gentle, easy to use, fairly priced, and my skin loves it. For the first time since puberty, my skin is SMOOTH and soft without having to endure drying side effects, even desert- dry weather. Blemishes are almost totally eliminated and pores have been drastically reduced. I use it all over my face in the PM, and just on "problem" areas in the AM.
I was so excited when i ordered this since it's one of famous items from paula's . Unfortunately it was a bit hurt when I put this product on,felt like a sunburn-hurt. I thought my pore was getting tighter but as time goes by I noticed more black heads and break outs. My skin got more drier after using this product. I'm sad about this famous product didn't work on my face...
Hello, and thank you for your comments - we're sorry to hear this didn't work out as expected for you! Please contact a member of our Customer Care team for information about a possible exchange or refund.
I was doing a search for something that could help lift the eyelid area. I saw a recommendation on Paula's Choice 2% BHA liquid advising to apply to the eyelid area sparingly with a qtip. Well, I tried it and IT WORKS. I can see an improvement in the firmness of my eyelids after about 2 weeks use. I apply twice daily using just my fingertip. This product will keep me from having to pursue more invasive procedures for a while. Refreshing to find products that actually do what they say they will.
What makes this product unique?Skin Perfecting 2% BHA Liquid Exfoliant rapidly exfoliates both the skin's surface and inside the pore, reshaping the pore lining, unclogging pores and improving skin cell turnover rate. The result is a dramatic improvement in the skin's appearance, feel, and function which leads to healthier skin. There is a great deal of research indicating that BHA (beta hydroxy acid) increases collagen production and drastically smooths the surface of skin. Additionally, BHA has antibacterial properties that attack blemish-causing bacteria. The lightweight, non-occlusive formula allows for a faster and deeper exfoliation rate than our gel or lotion BHA products, so it's an ideal choice for stubborn clogged pores or blackheads.
This product is 100% fragrance- and colorant-free with a pH range of 3.5-3.9. Every Paula's Choice BHA product is formulated with additional soothing agents.
Who is this product for? All skin types may use this product, but the texture is especially suited for those with normal to oily or combination skin, stubborn blackheads, and blemish-prone skin. It can also be used regularly to eliminate calluses on feet, elbows and knees.
NOTE: Those allergic to aspirin (acetylsalicylate) should not use products containing salicylic acid (beta hydroxy acid).

Key Ingredients: methylpropanediol, salicylic acid, green tea, BHA (beta hydroxy acid)
Water, Methylpropanediol, Butylene Glycol (slip agents/penetration enhancers), Salicylic Acid (beta hydroxy acid/exfoliant), Camellia Oleifera (Green Tea) Leaf Extract (anti-irritant/antioxidant), Polysorbate-20 (solubolizing agent), Sodium Hydroxide (pH balancer), Tetrasodium EDTA (chelating agent).
DIRECTIONS: Apply once or twice daily after cleansing and toning. Lightly soak a cotton pad and apply over the entire face, including the eye area (avoid the lower lash line and eyelids). Do not rinse. For daytime, follow with a broad-spectrum sunscreen rated SPF 25 or greater.
Detailed instructions on how/when to apply your Paula's Choice products can be found in our How to Put Together Your Own Skincare Routine article.
What's the difference between the 2% BHA Liquid and the 2% BHA Gel?
What's the difference between AHA and BHA exfoliants? Do I need both?
If your skin is sun-damaged and you're also struggling with acne or clogged pores, add a BHA product to your routine.
If you'd like to use an AHA and BHA at the same time, that is an option, though not really necessary. Some people find they work well when they're applied at the same time, but if you want to give this a try it is best to apply them separately, one during the day and one in the evening.
How do I use an AHA or BHA exfoliant?
Your AHA (glycolic acid) products have a higher percentage than your BHA (salicylic acid) products. Does this mean AHA is a stronger exfoliant?
The Skin Perfecting 2% BHA Liquid Exfoliant feels sticky and kind of greasy on my face! Why is that?
At what point after my laser and/or peel procedure can I begin using my BHA exfoliant again?

I one I had was a pretty decent knife, & only cost me $20 on sale at Big-5. However, I've checked out other S&W knives there, awhile after I bought the 1st one, & they don't seem to up to the standards of that 1st production model. I have no idea why.
I have noticed, though, that the ones with 440c, seem to be better. But it has to say 440c, not 440, because then it's most likely 440a, which is about the equivelant of AUS 6. It'll resist rusting better & probably won't break a blade, but it also won't hold an edge well, either.

This decadent breakfast dish {Caramel Pumpkin Spice French Toast Bake} is brought to you by International Delight.
I can't not express how much I love french toast – made in the traditional way, in an overnight bake, made with croissants or even as muffins. It is breakfast comfort food at it's finest. Adding any International Delight flavored creamer to your french toast bake sweetens things up and adds flavor without any effort on your part. In today's recipe, I used pumpkin pie spice creamer, but I can think of a lot of delicious flavors that would stand in really well for the pumpkin pie spice {like salted caramel mocha or vanilla caramel creme}. I love using seasonal flavors when they are available though. Can't.get.enough.

India, Pakistan Trade Accusations Over Border Killings
India reacted angrily today at what it called the "inhumane treatment" of one of two soldiers killed Tuesday in a skirmish along the de facto border with Pakistan.
Pakistan challenged the Indian army's allegations and said it is prepared to hold an investigation through the United Nations Military Observers Group for India and Pakistan (UNMOGIP) into recent ceasefire violations along what is known as the Line of Control (LOC).
The killing of Indian troops Tuesday followed the fatal shooting of a Pakistani soldier Sunday. Pakistan alleges Indian forces crossed the border then. India alleges Pakistani regular troops crossed into Indian-controlled Kashmir Tuesday. Both sides deny any cross-border firing.
The contested Himalayan region of Kashmir has been the scene of small skirmishes over the years, but a ceasefire between the two sides has generally held. However, these latest incidents are heating up a war of words between the two nuclear rivals.
India's Director General of Military Operations spoke over a hotline with his counterpart in Pakistan about the incident that India's Defense Minister termed "highly provocative." India lodged a "strong protest" with Pakistan's top envoy, Salman Bashir, over "the actions of the Pakistan army on January 8, 2013." India's Ministry of External Affairs said today that "regular Pakistan troops crossed the Line of Control ... and engaged the Indian troops who were patrolling this sector. Two Indian soldiers were killed in the attack and their bodies subjected to barbaric and inhuman mutilation."
There are conflicting reports regarding this. Indian Army spokesman Col. Jagadish Dahiya said one soldier had been decapitated and that his head is missing. A spokesman for India's Northern Command told new agencies that the body of one solider was found "badly mutilated" in a forested area on the Indian side of the line, but denied reports of a beheading.
Pakistan's army rejected India's allegations of an incursion calling them "baseless and unfounded." It said the Pakistani army has carried out a "ground verification" and "found nothing of this sort happened." Pakistan added that it remained committed to the ceasefire agreement of 2003.
India's Army spokesman said Pakistan was in the state of denial.
