Hats Off
Goumas Among Many Emerging Storylines for UNH
by Avash Kalra/Staff Writer
As one might expect for a team that has started the season 9-1-2, there are plenty of storylines involving the 2012-13 New Hampshire Wildcats. But perhaps lost in the excitement – of being unbeaten in six straight, of matching the best start in program history, and of goaltender Casey Desmith's recent record-breaking consecutive shutout streak – is that on November 16, senior assistant captain Greg Burke suffered a shoulder injury against Mass.-Lowell.
And he hasn't played since.
As a result, head coach Dick Umile – now in his 23rd year in Durham and still in search of his first national title – shuffled the Wildcats' lineup, moving junior winger Kevin Goumas to the center and away from linemate Grayson Downing.
The immediate result? Two more games without a loss for UNH, though the second was a head-scratcher of a collapse in Colorado Springs, when a 4-0 Wildcats lead turned into an eventual 4-4 tie against Colorado College.
The next night, last Saturday, in a highly anticipated showdown between two of the nation's top teams, UNH found itself trailing Denver 3-0 after the first period. Early in the second, Wildcats rookie Dan Correale took a slashing penalty – the first penalty, in fact, of his career thus far.
In doing so, he created a scenario for Umile to reunite Downing and Goumas, former linemates, who had separated because of Burke's injury.
"We're similar players," said Goumas. "[Downing] has great vision, great hands, a great skill set.
"Any time we're out there together, we click."
And "click" they did. While on the penalty kill, Goumas saucered the puck to Downing, who was racing down the right wing towards Denver goaltender Sam Brittain. Downing scored on a quick wrist shot – and scored again several minutes later, again on a feed from Goumas, and again on a special teams situation (this time four-on-four) that brought the two centers on the ice at the same time.
Continued Goumas, "Any time we have a special teams situation, I think we move the puck pretty well."
Downing, just a sophomore, went on to score a hat trick in the game. As did Goumas, who in fact accomplished a "natural" hat trick in the third period, scoring once to tie the game 4-4, once to give UNH the lead, and once – an empty-net goal – to seal the Wildcats' stunning come from behind win over Denver on the strength of not one, but two, hat tricks.
Said Downing afterwards, "One's always nice, two's always good, and three – there's no better feeling than getting a hat trick."
Other than, perhaps, completing a comeback in an arena in which UNH had never beaten Denver. Goumas, who was thwarted by Brittain time and time again during the course of the game, including on two second period breakaways, ultimately scored the game-winner by making an adjustment.
"When you get that many chances. I just stayed with it," said Goumas, who leads Hockey East in points (20) and assists (14) and was named the league's Player of the Week. "Our equipment manager was telling me, 'You're going to get about seven more chances.' I sure did, and I took advantage of those opportunities.
"I was getting a lot of shots blocked by defensemen so [on the game-winner] I held it a little more, took an extra step to the middle, and shot it around him. I don't think [Brittain] saw it coming."
A lot of people, actually, didn't see any of this coming. Last Saturday night in Denver represented a comeback, certainly, in that UNH stormed back from a seemingly insurmountable deficit against one of the nation's top defenses. But it's also part of the ongoing story of the comeback of the Wildcats from last season, after suffering through a sub-.500 season, still looking to return to their first NCAA Frozen Four since 2002-03, when a national semifinal win over Cornell propelled UNH to the national title game against Minnesota.
Initial question marks regarding the offensive capability of the Wildcats have all but dissolved at this point – especially after the pair of hat tricks last weekend. But what will Umile do now? Find a way to get Downing and Goumas back on the same line? Only time – and perhaps the ability of Burke's injury to heal – will tell.
For now, though, it's yet another storyline – one of many for the surging 2012-13 Wildcats.

World's Most Expensive Shoelace Accessory
I stumbled upon E!'s World Most Expensive episode late last night and boy oh boy was I drooling. The show featured the quintessential most expensive topics like bags, shoes, jewelry, chocolate desserts, spa treatments, vacation spots and other things. What caught my attention most was the World's Most Expensive Shoelace Accessory.
I didn't even know it existed until last night. It's called Kickbars. A lot of celebrities have been seen accessorizing their shoelaces with these diamond encrusted clip-ons apparently. A regular Kickbar has 54 round cut diamonds weighing in 2 carats. A custom Kickbar has 30 princess cut diamonds.
Kickbars are so expensive that many uses have been illustrated besides being a shoelace accessory to I guess justify the need to buy it.
You could wear it as a wrist or ankle bracelets. Other pictures shows it being worn as a necklace pendant as well. Shoot, with $7500 I hope you'd find more ways to use it. But I agree, Kickbars are the World's Most Expensive Shoelace Accessory.

Fair Trade
Fair Trade is a movement promoting trading partnerships based on dialogue, transparency and respect and that seeks greater equity in International trade.The key principles for Fair Trade as set for by the Fair Trade Federation are:
Creating Opportunities for economically disadvantaged producers - Fair trade is a strategy for poverty alleviation and sustainable development. Its purpose is to create opportunities for producers who have been economically disadvantaged or marginalized in the conventional trading system.
Gender Equity - Emphasis is often place on ensuring that women's work is properly valued and rewarded. Women are always paid for their contribution to the production process and are empowered in their organizations.
Transparency and Accountability - Fair trade involves transparent management and commercial relations in order to deal fairly and respectfully with trading partners and customers.
Capacity Building - Fair trade assists in developing producer independence through sustained relationships with trading partners that provide continuity, and often include management skills development, improved access to markets, and financial and technical assistance.
Payment of a Fair Price - A fair price in the regional or local context is one that has been agreed through dialogue and participation. It covers not only the costs of production but enables production that is socially just and environmentally sound. It provides fair pay to the producers and takes into account the principle of equal pay for equal work by women and men. Fair Traders ensure prompt payment to their partners and, whenever possible, help producers with access to pre production financing.
Working Conditions - Fair trade means a safe and healthy working environment for producers. The participation of children (if any) does not adversely affect their well-being, security, educational requirements and need for recreation, and conforms to the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child as well as the law and norms in the local context.
Environmental Sustainability - Fair Trade encourages producers to engage in production practices that manage and use local resources sustainably. Fair traders often work directly with producers in regions of high bioactivity in order to develop products based on sustainable use of their natural resources, giving communities incentive to preserve their natural environments for future generations.
Promoting Fairer Trade - Fair Trade Organizations educate the public about the importance of purchasing fairly traded products, highlight the need for change in the practices of conventional trade, and publicly demonstrate how fair trade is a successful model that emphasizes social justice and environmental sustainability, over the endless drive for increased profits. By providing information about producer's history, culture and living conditions, Fair Trade enhances cross-cultural understanding and respect between consumers and communities in the developing world.

Court sets Jan. 13 retrial date after Raven Abaroa rejects plea deal
Posted June 6, 2013
Durham, N.C. — A Durham Superior Court judge on Thursday set a Jan. 13 date for the retrial of Raven Abaroa after he turned down a second-degree plea deal in the stabbing death eight years ago of his wife, Janet Abaroa.
A jury deadlocked 11-1 last week in favor of a guilty verdict on a first-degree murder charge, forcing Judge Orlando Hudson to declare a mistrial.
Prosecutor Charlene Coggins-Franks said in court that the state offered Raven Abaroa a prison sentence of 19 to 24 years if he pleaded guilty by 1 p.m. to the lesser charge.
If convicted of first-degree murder, he automatically faces life in prison without the possibility of parole since the state is not seeking the death penalty.
Janet Abaroa, 25, was found stabbed to death in an upstairs office of the couple's Durham home on April 26, 2005.
Members of her family said Thursday that they were disappointed that Raven Abaaroa did not accept the state's offer, but that they were not surprised.
"I don't think any member of the family is going to give up until there is resolution," Janet Abaroa's brother, Richard Christiansen, said. "No matter how long it takes, we want to see this process through. We're frustrated, but optimistic for the next time around."
Abaroa murder retrial slated for January
Raven Abaroa, 33, has maintained his innocence, saying he was playing in a soccer game and returned home to find his wife crouched on the floor. He was arrested nearly five years later in Idaho, where he lived with the couple's son, who was 6 months old when his mother was killed.
Testimony in his five-week murder trial spanned 19 days and consisted of 82 witnesses and 565 pieces of evidence. Jurors deliberated for more than 10 hours before Hudson declared a mistrial.
Defense attorneys argued that police focused only on their client as a suspect and ignored or explained away any evidence that could have helped identify another culprit in the case.
But prosecutors argued that Janet Abaroa's death wasn't random and that Raven Abaroa was the only person with any reason to kill her.

HARRISON, N.J. – New York's remarkable worst-to-first turnaround from a season ago continued as a 2-0 win over New England last Thursday saw them finish first in the Eastern Conference for just the second time in franchise history.
Pundits and fans alike have conceded that last year's Red Bulls side, which won just five games and finished bottom of the league table, wasn't as bad as their record indicated. After all, they had some legitimate talent in their starting XI, including Juan Pablo Angel and Macoumba Kandji, as well as a sprinkling of quality MLS veterans in Seth Stammler, Mike Petke, Dane Richards and Bouna Coundoul.
It wasn't beyond the stretch of the imagination to think New York could do well this year, given their two first-round SuperDraft picks, plenty of cap space and two open Designated Player slots thanks to the league's expanded rules.
Yet no one thought this New York side had the talent — let alone the moxie — to finish first in its conference. But as the great philosopher Mike Petke once said, "You knew at the beginning of the season that there was the potential for something here."
The truth of the matter is that the Red Bulls are just beginning to reach what their expectation level should be.
After all, this is a starting XI that boasts Thierry Henry and Rafa Márquez — players who could start on nearly any team in the world. Throw in Ángel, arguably the most prolific striker in MLS history, and additions such as Richards, Estonian captain Joel Lindpere, Costa Rican international Roy Miller, former US right back Chris Albright and the emerging talent of Tim Ream and Tony Tchani, and suddenly this is a club that should be expect the conference regular-season title as a minimum.
[inline_node:321453]However, Ángel remains cautious as the club heads into the postseason.
"We have to correct the things that we need to correct, and because of the formula of the league, anything can happen," Ángel said. "We have to be our best from the beginning, because we don't want to miss out on this great opportunity."
The irony of the "anything can happen" sentiment is that the formula is exactly what carried the Red Bulls, who finished in the eighth and final playoff spot in 2008, through the postseason and into their first-ever MLS Cup final.
With several players remaining from that remarkable run on the roster, including Ángel, New York understand they need to come out and execute in the playoffs or else this year's excellent turnaround will become just a footnote in the season's annals.
"We couldn't do worse than last year," Richards said. "We just came in and worked hard, and we did it. It's not over yet, with the playoffs. Hopefully we have three more games left and we can go all the way with it."
But even with a battle-tested mind set, Richards couldn't help but reflect on what a difference a year makes in the New York locker room. The Red Bulls took a celebratory lap around the field last year after throttling Toronto FC to close out the season. It was as if that win washed out the bad taste of a bad season for the Red Bulls, allowing them a fresh start this year.
"Last year we were thanking the fans, and we were going to go home," Richards said. "This year, we're thanking the fans to come and support us in the playoffs. So that's a great feeling."

Review - Tabla (11 Madison Ave , 212 889 0667)
We had a lovely dinner at Tabla over the weekend, taking advantage of the last night of their Sunday wine promotion -- buy 1 bottle, get one free. We were on time, seated upstairs right away, and were impressed with the general ambience. The mosaics, patterned walls and floor are quite impressive -- I had forgotten how visually nice this place is. Tabla is an Indian themed restaurant -- using many spices or cooking styles from the sub continent -- but it is not a traditional Indian restaurant. This means if you go there expecting an upscale version of 6th street's Little India, you'll be disappointed. But if you have an open mind, or are leery of hard core ethnic food, Tabla will be just fine for you.
They started by bringing out small fried rice cakes with a tomato chutney as we perused the wine list, selecting a sparkling wine and a pinot for dinner. Then while sipping on bubbly in their excellent Spiegelau stemware, they brought out a couple of pieces of Indian bread as we made our prix fixe menu ($64) selections. One was a rosemary naan, which was excellent and the other was a corn puuri (possibly fried) which was ok but kind of leaden.
An amuse bouche of an Indiam sambaar/soup with pistachios showed up next and we enjoyed that. It was flavorful and interesting. Now my appetizer arrived - foie gras over a cracker with ginger paste underneath. It was a generous artery clogging piece of Hudson duck liver, with lots of other treats with it. It was great. I also tried my SO's duck samosa which was really tasty too, but obviously not a traditional item.
Now my oxtail over rice pilaf arrived. I think this was glazed in a tamarind sauce with cumin seeds. It was FANTASTIC. The oxtail was juicy, gelatinous, tender and perfectly flavored. It was a generous size too, not one of the small soup sized ones you occassionally see at the market, but a real dinner sized chunk. The rice it was on was mixed with green onions and was a perfect bed for sopping up the meat. I also tried some of the blackened chicken (moist, peppery) and the scallop/shrimps (unusual but good). I am not sure if the oxtail is a usual menu offering.
By now both of our bottles of wine were finished and we moved to coffee and dessert. We had the kulfi, which is usually a mix between custard and ice cream, but here is a super dense gelato kind of confection. Fantastic but very rich. Then we had a mango lassi 3 ways which had different kinds of mango treats (a yogurt shake / lassi, preserves, and a dollop of a sherbet). Their desserts are beautifully presented and included in the $64 prix fixe.
Dinner was great, and very good value for the quality of the food, the exotic ambience and the high level of service Danny Meyer infuses into his staff. I had forgotten how good Tabla was but plan to return more often. It is easy to see why NYCers love this place.

The rumors were true-the Air Jordan III "Doernbecher" will be back this Summer. The pair is releasing next Saturday, July 20th, at Nikestore's online hub as well as a handful of Nike spots across the country. When Nike first announced the return of a handful of Doernbecher-patient designed styles it felt like it was only a matter of time before we got the official word of an Air Jordan release among them. Continue reading for a refresher on the Air Jordan III "Doernbecher", releasing on July 20th, and get the full release info just after the jump.
Cole Johanson participated in the Doernbecher Freestyle program in 2010 and had the opportunity to tell his story through the Air Jordan 3 Retro. A tonal red upper features "COLE" subtly spelled out within a diamond grid pattern, as well as callouts to his two favorite foods (spaghetti and chocolate) behind the pull-tab. But it was two words inscribed on the insole that helped Cole beat his lymphoma: Strength and Courage.
"Those are the two things you need the most," he said. "Especially courage. I mean, everyone has it, the trick is just not letting it go when hard things happen." It's a mantra that Cole continues to embrace as he prepares to start his freshman year at Beaverton High School. He can't wait to play high school hoops, and, of course, he'll be rocking a pair of Air Jordans.
Look for Cole Johanson's limited edition Air Jordan 3 Retro on July 20 at Nike.com and in Nike retail locations across the US. All proceeds benefit the Doernbecher Children's Hospital Foundation and the young patients who need it most.

Downtown Zanesville is about to be taken over by some finger-licking fun.
Ribfest will take place this Friday and Saturday from 4 p.m. to midnight in the parking lot across from Secrest Auditorium. 17 vendors will offer a variety of barbecue favorites, but the ribs are the big draw.
"It's the taste. In other words when you taste them, some of them just melt in your mouth. Everybody's always asking me which one's the best. I really can't tell what's the best because they're all good to me," says Committee Chairperson Ernest Bynum.
A panel of judges will vote for their favorite ribs in the annual rib cook-off, but those who attend will also have a say in the event's first-ever people's choice contest.
Bynum says the atmosphere brings in hundreds of people each and every year.
"You don't have to eat a rib to have a good time. Just come on down and enjoy our company if nothing else, " says Bynum.
There will be live music, with even some local bands getting the chance to perform.
All proceeds from the event will go toward scholarships for a few lucky students in Muskingum, Perry, and Morgan counties.

The Lafayette Parish School system needs to fill a few gaps. The district has seen an increase in employee retirements and resignations. A fair share of the blame is being attributed to changes due to state mandates. Something similar is taking place at the University Medical Center in Lafayette. The hospital is about to join forces with Lafayette General Medical Center. UMC Hospital Administrator, Glenn Craig says 700 employees will have to reapply for their jobs.
On June 23, the University Medical Center will no longer operate as a public hospital. On June 24, UMC will function as a partner hospital with Lafayette General. Craig says the move is part of LSU Hospitals response to a shortage of Medicaid funds. "Our employees will no longer be state employees. They will have the opportunity to apply for positions with Lafayette General.""
The swinging door at UMC will hit hardest for employees nearing retirement. That's where the Lafayette Parish School System comes into play. UMC employees will no longer be state workers; causing their retirement plan to change. Working for the school system will allow them to maintain what vested retirement time they may have. "This is a natural fit for them; for employees who want to serve out their additional time they need in the state retirement system."
An accelerated teacher certification program is being made available. Within about a year employees with a bachelor's degree could become classroom teachers. "We are a teaching hospital. So, a lot of our employees in the job that their doing now have been teaching all along; a different kind of teaching, but teaching never the less." explains Craig.
UMC says the accelerated program is being supported by the Lafayette Economic Development Authority, ULL and the Louisiana Workforce Commission. On April 11, the parish school system will return to UMC to host an employee job fair.

Each school has a person working in the capacity as a volunteer coordinator; and each school offer different volunteer needs depending on their program. Often, schools are looking for volunteers who have skills that make them a good fit for their specific school community.
Here is a short list of the general types of volunteers that our schools look for:
In order to get started as a volunteer with Seattle Public Schools, you will need to:
You can often find out more about volunteer opportunities at local schools by looking at their website or the PTA website. When looking at school websites, look both for highlighted volunteer opportunities and for a list of community partners. Often community-based organizations provide before and after-school programming and coordinate volunteers during the school day. You can find a list of schools on our school directory webpage.
You can also call the school directly. The administrative assistant should be able to direct you to the volunteer coordinator who works directly with volunteers in the schools.
While most of our volunteer opportunities happen during school hours, schools occasionally need volunteers for one-time events and for maintenance projects. Building maintenance projects are coordinated by our Self-Help Office (schools that are helping themselves to complete identified maintenance or building projects). Please visit our School Self Help Projects webpage for more information.
Seattle Public Schools welcome community members to volunteer at schools across the district. In order for a community member to start volunteering, they must:
To run a background check, you must:
This paperwork is mandatory for all volunteers unless they are a guest/visitor at a school. See Visitor/Guest category located in the Volunteer Handbook for additional information.
Any overnight field trip chaperones living continuously in Washington state for more than two years shall not be required to be fingerprinted, WATCH clearance shall suffice;
Organizations/employers may have an opportunity to prequalify their employees to volunteer for Seattle Public Schools without going through the required background check. Employers must notify the Volunteer Management Department in writing regarding their Employees' fingerprinting/background check information.
The Volunteer Management Department will make a determination of acceptability. Please contact the Volunteer Manager Department at: email@example.com.
Out of Country chaperones must be fingerprinted.
NOTE: Volunteer coaches for sports programs need to have additional screening through fingerprinting.
As a volunteer in our schools, you play a critical role in supporting students. Here are some expectations that we have of our volunteers in order to ensure their effectiveness in supporting students and schools:
Due to budget constraints, Seattle Public Schools is no longer able to provide centralized trainings. Each school is expected to provide an orientation that orients new volunteers to the school building and school community, as well as expectations for volunteers.
There are many resources in our community that support volunteer tutors for schools and community-based organizations. One excellent resource is the Seattle Tutoring Coalition, which provides three All-City Tutor Trainings per year.
These workshop-based trainings often include topics such as:
If after reading these FAQs you still have additional questions about volunteering, please contactVolunteer Management Department at at 206-252-0529; firstname.lastname@example.com email@example.com.

Is there anyone/company out there who sells a receiver for a .22lr bolt action that I can piece together as I get the money. I never really have enough money to just shell out, and I would like a project gun. Anything like that out there?
Don't want a 10/22...

I think you'd be better off buying a cheap old 22 than trying to build a non 10/22 from scratch.

I agree with RC... go to any pawn shop, they all usually have several older bolt action .22 rimfires, and they usually sell for $100 or less, since they aren't "tacti-kool".
I settled on a Remington bolt action with the tubular magazine. The stock was bleached out (pickup gunrack?) and the buttplate was chipped. It was missing the rear sight.. previous owner probably took it off to put a scope on it. I think I ended up having about 75 dollars in it to take it home.
It is a very accurate rifle, bore looks like new, just like MOST used .22 rifles. AND... I can shoot any kind of .22 cartridge I want out of it. CB shorts, 60gr sub-sonics.... whatever. Try that with an autoloading "tacti-kool" rifle (the shorts sound a little quieter than the average pellet rifle when firing)
Like I said, there are usually several to choose from in most pawn shops, and with a little haggling, you could get a real bargain.
I always felt that if I got to the point where I thought it was time to bury my firearms, it was actually time to pick them up..

And, you can always hit up Wally-World for a basic Savage MkII. I don't know what they run now, but I got one a few years ago for $109.99. Plastic stock, and no accutrigger. Did the shim trick on the trigger, and eventually got a wood stock and Marbles iron sights for it, and most recently I picked up a 2nd Gen Aimpoint for cheap and threw it on there! As close to a "kit" gun as I can think without going the 10/22 route.

Dicks has a nice fluted bull barrel Mark II with a cheesy plastic green stock for about $260. Seems like a decent non 10/22 starter gun if you don't mind the price new. I believe it's a package gun with a scope.

In talks that ended in failure 18 months ago, according to aides in both political parties, Obama had tentatively agreed to a proposal to raise the age of Medicare eligibility from 65 to 67 beginning in a decade, and had also said he would accept a change to slow the annual cost-of-living increases that go to recipients of Social Security and other federal benefits.This time, the two sides have advanced opening proposals that are short of specifics and reflect different priorities. Obama's plan would raise $1.6 trillion in revenue over 10 years, in part by raising tax rates on incomes over $200,000 for individuals and $250,000 for couples. He has recommended $400 billion in spending cuts over a decade. He also is seeking extension of the Social Security payroll tax cut due to expire on Jan. 1, a continuation in long-term unemployment benefits and steps to help hard-pressed homeowners and doctors who treat Medicare patients. Boehner's plan, in addition to calling for $800 billion in new revenue, envisions $600 billion in savings over a decade from Medicare, Medicaid and other government health programs as well as $300 billion from other benefit programs and another $300 billion from other domestic programs. It would trim annual increases in Social Security payments to beneficiaries, and it calls for gradually raising the eligibility age for Medicare from 65 to 67, beginning in a decade. ___ AP White House Correspondent Ben Feller in Redford, Mich., and Ken Thomas in Washington contributed to this report.

The results of EXT4/Btrfs on Linux 3.8 compared to recent the slightly older kernels from this Intel system with a high-end solid-state drive aren't too exciting. There isn't any performance breakthroughs or regressions for either file-system to note for this range of Linux disk benchmarks on the SSD with the default mount options. The only real takeaway to note from this testing is that even with the Linux 3.8 kernel, EXT4 is still generally performing better than Btrfs. Aside from the file-system activity, there are a lot of other exciting features to the Linux 3.8 kernel.

This felt harder than Sneaky (10b) and perhaps even harder than Surf Tower (10c).
So 10b maybe a bit of a sandbag.
The rock quality is quite good.

Grayson Coleman has just moved home to Butler, Vermont after spending years working for a high-powered law firm in Boston. He's looking for a simpler, less stressful existence in the sleepy little mountain town where he grew up with his siblings and Abbott cousins. Once the holidays are over, he plans to hang out a shingle and open a new general law practice. After helping to raise his seven younger siblings, the last thing on Grayson's mind is a family of his own.
Emma Mulvaney is enjoying a break from her reality as a busy single mother in New York City while she and her adorable daughter, Simone, spend the holidays in Vermont with Emma's sister, Lucy, and Lucy's future in-laws, the Abbotts. After meeting Abbott cousin Grayson Coleman and talking to him for hours, Emma is nervous and excited to have dinner alone with him after sharing her deepest, most personal secrets with him.
Will that first night be the start of something new for the jaded lawyer and the selfless single mom or will a holiday week flirtation turn into something much bigger than either of them ever expected?
Come back to Butler, Vermont for more of the charming Abbott family, their matchmaking father and grandfather and of course, Fred the Moose.
The indie-published Butler, Vermont Series is a continuation of Marie's Green Mountain Series with all the things you loved best about that series - Fred the Moose, the boisterous Abbott family, the beautiful Vermont mountain landscape and the sexy romances that set your heart to racing. Catch up with the series by checking out the Green Mountain Series and then come along on the next phase of the story with the all new Butler, Vermont Series!

"NYC To Butler Deja Vu"
This time it's younger sister Emma Mulvaney who meets a hunky mountain man in Butler Vermont and must fight a battle within herself. Does she remain in New York with her father and friends or does she follow her heart and the love of her life to Butler.
If this all sounds too familiar well there does happen to be at least one and a half precedents in the (thus far) seven book series. In book 3, I Saw Her Standing There, it was Emma's older sister Lucy who was seated on the horns of this dilemma. This time the NYC girl falls not for one of the Abbott Brothers but for their first cousin Grayson Coleman. As is the case with his cousins he has the body of a fitness model and the sensitivity of a lady's best girlfriend. As is in the case in book 3 of the series, and to a lesser extent book 1 there is a great deal of overblown angst. Once again a couple struggles to make the right choice between staying in the world you know and taking a chance for love.
I haven't been a real fan of the author before this series but All You Need Is Love, brought me in a major way. Unfortunately the author seems to have a difficult time bringing enough originality to a series to sustain it. I realize that in any series it's difficult to keep it fresh and this is particularly true in the romance genre. So many new romance novels debut every week in Audible that bringing something different even once is a triumph. That being said it is quickly drawing near the point where my affection for the Abbott family will no longer be enough to sustain my interest in the Green Mountain Romances.
"Great Book, Narrator Issue"
I enjoyed the story of Emma and Grayson very much and catching up with the family is always a treat, but the narrator... She did the female voice well but the mail voices were a struggle and Grayson's particularly was awful. I would suggest either the narrator work on her craft before the next book or Marie needs to look for another narrator. Maybe Therese Plummer?
"The voice!
Struggled to finish listening to this. The story is okay but made sluggish by the reader. The main male voice sounds like an old lady so I had a hard time listening to it.
This is the 4th or 5th book, but as it's a new publisher, it's being billed as the 1st book under a new series name. I think this carries on from Lucy and Colton's story.
"Nice Love Story!"
It's been a while since I read a Marie Force story in this series, and it took me a while to remember who and what came before, as there are a lot of characters in this family and apparently I missed a book or two in between. Do yourself a favor and read the entire series, but do it in order. Good characters and a good reader makes it an easy quick read, but you'll be missing a ton if you don't stick with the family and read it in order. That being said, I'll probably not go "back" and catch up on what I missed. I'll just read the next one on the list. Great family story AND you'll want to move to Vermont.
"Green Mountain continues"
I love series. You get the opportunity to hear the story of characters from prior books.
This narrator sounds very young and does not distinguish the varied characters in the book.
"What's up with the narrator?"
The narrator sounds like a little girl almost the entire time. Even the male voices were horrible.
"I Want to go to Butler, Vermont!"
Thank you, Marie! Loved being back with the Abbott's. Don't make us wait too long.
"Love it!"
I love this book. Grayson and Emma story was very sweet and the fact that he includes the little girl in everything is so cool!
Marie has done it again! Such a special place with special characters. Each book in the Vermont series is better than the last. 5 stars from me
"Every Little Thing a winner"
Joan Delaware did a wonderful narration, so much better than the person that did the lady Green Mountain book!
Love the story. Their love ever wavered.

Katsumi was born in 1979. She grew up in France with a French mother and a Cambodian father while learning to speak both French and English fluently. One of the most business savvy entrepreneurs to come along in recent pornstar history, Katsumi has turned her exotic 34D-23-35 beauty and sexy South East Asian sex appeal into a massive empire of adult entertainment properties.
Even after some very controversial court decisions involving the stage name she chose to use, the Katsumi or Katsuni brand have become quite valuable to video producers, sex toy retailers and adult magazine publishers because fans continue to adore their French / Asian muse and the way she passionately performs every time she takes her clothes off on film.
Katsuni studied political science for more than a year at the prestigious Grenoble Institute of Political Studies in France before she entered the adult industry in 2002. She has starred in more than 300 adult films and made her directorial debut in 2011 with Katsuni's Casting Couch. At the start of her career she performed primarily under the stage name Katsumi, but she was barred by a French judge in January 2007 from using the name after a woman named Mary Katsumi sued her in French court over the resemblance to her own name. At first Katsumi disregarded to court order but in October of 2007 she was fined €20,000 for violations of the ban on using the name. It was at that time that she made the decision to change her stage name to Katsuni - creating some confusion among casual porn fans but protecting herself against any future legal claims.
Unlike many other foreign porn performers who moves to porn valley in the United States to start their adult film career, Katsumi made a name for herself in the world of erotic entertainment while living in France. She began by taking cabaret and go-go dancer gigs, eventually moving up to private clubs and allegedly more than a few live sex shows. Eventually she started doing pictorials and earned her way onto the cover of Penthouse in France when she was 23 years old.
During her first three years in adult entertainment Katsumi worked with many of the top adult studios including Lethal Hardcore, Digital Playground, Vivid, Penthouse and many others. Later, in December of 2006, Katsuni decided to sign an exclusive contract with Digital Playground, limiting her exposure to a few films a year but greatly enhancing the overall quality of the work she is involved with and the casts she is part of on each new feature film release. She has performed with all the biggest names of the last decade including Tommy Gunn, Randy Spears, Felecia, Lexington Steele and too many others to list in an all-star studded set of adult performers who have helped her create some of the most famous iconic xxx films in history.
Recently Katsuni starred in the big budget feature video Pirates II for Digital Playground along with other porn megastars like Jesse Jane, Evan Stone, Belladonna and Sasha Grey. In 2010 Katsumi expanded her portfolio to include other kinds of adult themed products as well. She had her vagina cast in latex so that fans could fuck her own signature Flesh Light sex toy, launched her own brand of sexy lingerie for upscale adults called Petite Coeur by Katsuni which is distributed internationally and that was just the tip of the iceberg.
In 2011 Katsuni followed up those efforts by histing her own French mainstream channel MCM Les Mangas sexy de Katsuni, which is a show all about her true love of Hentai and Japanese Anime erotic cartoons. She also extended her work in the field of fashion by contracting with French clothiers OTAKU to produce her own line of elegant T-shirts. Rumors persist that she is even about to have her own character in an upcoming video game title being launched on the PS3 and XBOX platforms world wide.
Perhaps most unexpectedly of all, Katsuni announced that in 2011 she will be ending her five year stint as a contract girl with Digital Playground to pursue more opportunities in adult film as a free agent working with several studios instead. Few performers in history have garnered as much attention or as many award show accolades as legendary Asian pornstar Katsumi and now she will have the chance to put those considerable talents and expert approval to the test as she seeks out exciting new adventures beyond the Digital Playground studio exclusive limits.
In France, Katsuni was chosen by MCM to star in a five episode long documentary about her life and career. Genesis magazine named her one of the Ten Most Popular Porn Stars In America. Katsuni has starred on the cover of many domestic and international adult magazines and the list of noteworthy awards she has won can be staggering. However, it is her connection with fans that keeps her motivated and matters most. That's why she diligently updates her Twitter account with more than 13,000 tweets to date and has attracted more than 40,000 active followers as par of her social networking initiative.
As for her adult industry awards prior to her free sex tube performances, dating all the way back to 2004, Katsumi won the 2004 European X Award for Best Actress (France) and AVN Award for Best Anal Sex Scene in Multiple P.O.V. with Gisselle & Michael Stefano. In 2005 she was the winner of the AVN Award for Female Foreign Performer of the Year and AVN Award for Best Anal Sex Scene in Lex Steele XXX 3 with Lexington Steele. In 2006 she took home the AVN Award for Female Foreign Performer of the Year, AVN Award for Best Interactive DVD in Virtual Katsuni, AVN Award for Best Anal Sex Scene from Cumshitters with Manuel Ferrara and AVN Award for Best Tease Performance in Ass Worship 7. Then in 2007 Katsuni won the AVN Award as the Female Foreign Performer of the Year for an unprecedented third year in a row!
Her award list continues with a 2007 nod from AVN for Best Supporting Actress in the critically acclaimed Fashionistas Safado The Challenge. An AVN Award for Best Group Sex Scene in FUCK with Carmen Hart, Kirsten Price, Mia Smiles, Eric Masterson, Chris Cannon, Tommy Gunn & Randy Spears. The AVN Award for Best All-Girl Sex Scene in FUCK with Jessica Drake, Felecia and Clara G. The 2007 Ninfa Prize for Best Actress in French Connection. The 2008 AVN Award for Best Sex Scene in a Foreign Shot Production in Furious Fuckers Final Race and the list of awards continued to grow.
In 2009 Katsuni won the Hot d'Or for Best French Actress in Pirates II: Stagnetti's Revenge and the Hot d'Or for Best Actress Blog as well. In 2011 AVN recognized Katsuni with the award for Best All-Girl Group Sex Scene in Body Heat, the AVN Fan Appreciation Award for Wildest Sex Scene in Body Heat and XBIZ announced she was the 2011 winner of the Foreign Female Performer of the Year XBIZ Award. As if all those porn film awards were somehow not enough, Katsuni also earned accolades for her work as an international feature dancer in erotic clubs all over the world and was twice nominated in Las Vegas at the Gentlemen's Club Expo for the Best Feature Dancer of the year award.
To go from obscurity as a political science student in 2003 and only eight years later to be by far the most famous French pornstar of all time and perhaps the most famous Asian pornstar as well is an accomplishment Porn.com is proud to celebrate with fans. That's why we offer so many amazing free Katsuni porn tube videos right here for you with frequent updates and the highest quality Asian pornstar video niche section available anywhere. Enjoy!

I've been driving myself crazy trying to think about what I was going to pick for my favorite Armani Cosmetics item. We talked about doing this brand so long ago but I just couldn't decide. I think LSF foundation is a terrific foundation but I've already used foundation in our "vs" reviews. I also love Armani lipsticks and lipglosses but I haven't bought any in so long so I don't even know if the ones I use are current. But now Lisa I have found the crème de la crème of recent Armani (in my opinion) and I'm convinced I shall win this challenge.
My choice is Eyes to Kill Mascara. Actually we were shopping together the day I bought this. Plus it was the day that we decided we should write a blog so I think it stands out just for that reason. We were at Saks for an event and Armani had a gwp. You know me and gifts with purchase! If I love the brand it's very hard for me to resist them. But that's beside the point. The point is that I finally got around to wearing the mascara almost 7 months after I bought it.
Eyes to Kill really are "eyes to kill". I am loving this mascara. Lush lashes – check! Lengthy lashes – check! Smudgefree lashes – check! Clump free lashes – check! Eyes to Kill – check! Reading the description of this online they talk a lot about volume. While I think the volume is good I wouldn't consider this the tops in volumizing. Then again I often find that a mascara that gives me too much volume usually looks clumpy on me so it's not usually on my list of choices. Definition, length and smudgeless are Marcia choices.
At $30 a mascara better be amazing and this one is. The tube is nice and hefty, the brush is full and easy to use, the mascara is a very dark steel black (it also comes in copper brown though). I didn't think I'd like a mascara better than Dior Extase but this one just might be the one. Even if it's not, it's definitely a mascara to try out. My vote for the best of Armani goes to – ta da – Eyes to Kill Mascara. — Marcia
Ah, interesting choice Marcia! I do love this mascara too, it's excellent. And I love Armani lipsticks, I have tons and wear them often. I also love the Armani eyeshadows…but I have to say, my MOST favorite items are the Fluid Sheers ($59).
Ok, I will admit, they are ridiculously expensive. And the opaque bottles make it impossible to know when you are about to run out of product. But they are so versatile! And they last forever!! And I use at least one fluid sheer every single day!!! There aren't many items about which I can make that claim. I have every color Armani has ever come out with. It is maddening that they seem to drop colors without warning, but then they always add new ones so I don't complain much. Some of the colors, like #8 and #3, are terrific liquid bronzers. Other colors like #7 (pictured above) and #2 are great for highlighting and livening up liquid foundations. Some are fabulous blushes, like #4. And then there's #0, which is a sheer white with a golden cast, perfect for lightening up foundations that are a shade or two too dark.
Here is a pic of some of my fluid sheers on a steel palette. The top row, from left to right, is #0, 2, 4, then 7.
Bottom row, left to right, is #10, 11, 12, 13, then 14.
Here they are swatched on my arm:
Again, left to right, #0 (this is a color corrector for foundations that are too dark for your skin), #2 (great mixed into matte foundations to jazz them up), #4 (swatched heavy for color purposes, it makes a fabulous blush), and #7 (cool toned highlighter also great for jazzing up foundation).
Swatched here from left to right are #10, 11, 12, 13, and 14.
I am not super thrilled at the way this bunch swatched – the first two, #10 and #11, are not actually that orange toned. #10 is amazing added to foundation, it gives you a fabulous healthy glow. It's a warm golden with shimmers that don't even begin to show up well in pictures. #11 is essentially #10 with a rosy tone added to it. My very most favorite is #12, which is a cool light purple. I find it color corrects my skin perfectly, and adds just the right amount of sheen to any foundation. After that is #13, more brown than #3 and I find it's best used as a bronzer. Finally, #14 is a color correcting apricot with a bit of shimmer, so interesting and believe it or not it makes your skin look glowy and gorgeous.
Check these out when you are at the Armani counter – I'll bet you will find one – or five – that you just can't live without. – Lisa

Battles of Lexington & Concord - Conflict:

The Battles of Lexington & Concord were the opening actions of the American Revolution.

Battles of Lexington & Concord - Date:

The British marched to Concord on April 19, 1775.

Armies & Commanders:

American Colonists

John Parker (Lexington)

James Barrett (Concord)

William Heath

John Buttrick

rising to 4,000 men by day's end

British

Lt. Colonel Francis Smith

Major John Pitcairn

Hugh, Earl Percy

700 men, reinforced by 1,000 men

Battles of Lexington & Concord - Overview:

Following several years of rising tensions and the occupation of Boston by British troops, the military governor of Massachusetts, General Thomas Gage, began moving to secure the colony's military supplies to keep them from the Patriot militias. His actions received official sanction on April 14, 1775, when orders arrived from the Secretary of State, the Earl of Dartmouth, commanding him to disarm the rebellious militias and to arrest key colonial leaders. Believing the militias to be hoarding supplies at Concord, Gage made plans for part of his force to march and occupy the town.

On April 16, Gage sent a scouting party out of the city towards Concord. While this patrol gathered intelligence, it also alerted the colonials that the British were planning to move against them. Aware of Gage's orders from Dartmouth, many key colonial figures, such as John Hancock and Samuel Adams, left Boston to seek safety in the country. Two days after sending out the patrol, Gage ordered Lieutenant Colonel Francis Smith to prepare a 700-man force to sortie from the city. Despite Gage's efforts to keep the raid secret, the colonists had long been aware of the British interest in Concord.

As a result, many of the supplies at Concord had been removed to other towns. Around 9:00-10:00 that night, Patriot leader Dr. Joseph Warren informed Paul Revere and William Dawes that the British would be embarking that night for Cambridge and the road to Lexington and Concord. Slipping out of the city by different routes, Revere and Dawes made their famous ride west to warn that the British were approaching. In Lexington, Captain John Parker mustered the town's militia and had them fall into ranks on the town green with orders not to fire unless fired upon.

Around sunrise, Smith's advance force, led by Major John Pitcairn, arrived in Lexington. Riding forward, Pitcairn demanded the militia to disperse and lay down their arms. Parker partially complied and ordered his men to go home, but to retain their muskets. As the militia began to move, a shot rang out from an unknown source. This led to an exchange of fire which saw Pitcairn's horse hit twice. Charging forward the British drove the militia from the green. When the smoke cleared, eight of the militia were dead and another ten wounded. One British soldier was injured in the exchange.

Departing Lexington, the British pushed on towards Concord. Outside of the town, the Concord militia, unsure of what had transpired at Lexington, fell back through the town and took up a position on a hill across the North Bridge. Smith's men occupied the town and broke into detachments to search for the colonial munitions. As the British began their work, the Concord militia, led by Colonel James Barrett, was reinforced as other towns' militias arrived on the scene. While Smith's men found little in the way of munitions, they did locate and disable three cannon and burned several gun carriages.

Seeing the smoke from the fire, Barrett and his men moved closer to the bridge and saw around 90-95 British troops fall back across the river. Advancing with 400 men, they were engaged by the British. Firing across the river, Barrett's men forced them to flee back towards Concord. Unwilling to initiate further action, Barrett held his men back as Smith consolidated his forces for the march back to Boston. After a brief lunch, Smith ordered his troops to move out around noon. Throughout the morning, word of the fighting had spread, and colonial militias began racing to the area.

Aware that his situation was deteriorating, Smith deployed flankers around his column to protect against colonial attacks as they marched. About a mile from Concord, the first in a series of militia attacks began at Meriam's Corner. This was followed by another at Brooks Hill. After passing through Lincoln, Smith's troops were attacked at the "Bloody Angle" by 200 men from Bedford and Lincoln. Firing from behind tree and fences, they were joined by other militiamen who took up positions across the road, catching the British in a crossfire.

As the column neared Lexington, they were ambushed by Captain Parker's men. Seeking revenge for the morning's fight, they waited until Smith was in view before firing. Tired and bloodied from their march, the British were pleased to find reinforcements, under Hugh, Earl Percy, waiting for them Lexington. After allowing Smith's men to rest, Percy resumed the withdrawal to Boston around 3:30. On the colonial side, overall command had been assumed by Brigadier General William Heath. Seeking to inflict maximum casualties, Heath endeavored to keep the British surrounded with a loose ring of militia for the remainder of the march. In this fashion, the militia poured fire in to the British ranks, while avoiding major confrontations, until the column reached the safety of Charlestown.

Battles of Lexington & Concord - Aftermath

In the day's fighting, the Massachusetts militia lost 50 killed, 39 wounded, and 5 missing. For the British, the long march cost them 73 killed, 173 wounded, and 26 missing. The fighting at Lexington and Concord proved to be the opening battles of the American Revolution. Rushing to Boston, the Massachusetts militia was soon joined by troops from other colonies ultimately forming a force of around 20,000. Laying siege to Boston, they fought the Battle of Bunker Hill on June 17, 1775, and finally took the city after Henry Knox arrived with the guns of Fort Ticonderoga in March 1776.

Letter to DOT Secretary Foxx Asks for Stronger Standards for New Crude Oil & Ethanol Tank Cars
WASHINGTON, Feb. 12, 2014 /CNW/ - The Railway Supply Institute Committee on Tank Cars (RSICTC) has called on the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) to consider several new safety measures for tank cars carrying crude oil and ethanol. In a letter to DOT Secretary Anthony R. Foxx, RSICTC proposed additional safety requirements on newly manufactured railway tank cars, a prohibition on placing additional legacy tank cars into crude oil and ethanol service and prioritization of the modification of existing legacy crude oil and ethanol tank cars. The call comes after three years of waiting for the government to issue new rules that would create an industry standard and help mitigate product loss after train derailments.
"The discovery of new sources of crude oil in North America is one of the most important developments for our economy in the last few decades," said Thomas D. Simpson, President of RSI. "Addressing a 4000 percent increase in delivery of those resources by rail and protecting the public requires actions by railroads, shippers, tank car manufacturers and the federal government. Today we clearly laid out how tank cars can be made safer as quickly as possible. Now it's up to the federal government to complete its rulemaking and issue new standards for the manufacture and modification of tank cars meant to carry crude oil or ethanol."
In 2011, manufacturers began voluntarily building tank cars to a new standard (CPC-1232) jointly developed with the railroads and petitioned DOT to issue a new regulatory standard. Despite DOT's inaction on this petition, today's announcement would expand this safety standard and proposes seven guiding principles to move crude oil and ethanol tank car safety forward, including:
"These guiding principles will accelerate tank car safety," continued Simpson. "Adding new technology, prohibiting additional unmodified tank cars from entering into crude oil and ethanol service, and modifying crude oil and ethanol tank cars first will move safety forward. Additionally, the DOT needs to issue revised tank car standards. These standards should consider the work already done by engineers in the industry to improve tank car safety. The absence of a science-based, government-mandated standard is chilling investment, hindering job creation and slowing down the rollout of new, stronger, cars that can potentially save lives and limit damage after train accidents occur."
The Railway Supply Institute (RSI) is the international trade association for the rail supply industry, representing the nation's leading companies involved in the manufacture of products and services in the freight car, tank car, locomotive, maintenance-of-way, communications and signaling, and passenger rail industries. America's railway suppliers represent a $23 billion/year industry supporting 90,000 American workers. The Railway Supply Institute Committee on Tank Cars (RSICTC) is focused on increasing safety of rail tank cars. The membership of the RSICTC includes major manufacturers and lessors of rail tank cars who build more than 95 percent and own or lease over 70 percent of tank cars operating in North America.

This poll is now closed.
Atari - Having already been in the arcade business, and becoming hugely popular, Atari saw demand for these games in the home. After several issues, the "Atari Pong" was released. ::GEN1::
Coleco - After seeing the success from Atari and Magnavox's entries in home consoles (which, at the time, were merely pong-on-a-chip) this toy manufacturer decided to get a piece of the pie with the "Telstar". ::GEN1::
Nintendo - Suffering to find a new market after the fall of Hanafuda Cards and failure in toys Nintendo saw how successful video games were and began to dabble in them. Their first step in that field was to secure the rights to distribute the Magnavox Odyssey in Japan. After experiencing reasonable success at this, Nintendo began developing its own video games, both for the home and for arcades. In the 1970s, Mitsubishi Electric proposed joint development of "Color TV Game Machine". ::GEN1::
Sega - Beginning as a simple branch of a company called Service Games, Sega brought very much prosperity to it's Parent Company and eventually joined the home console industry to debut their talents, introducing the industry's first three-dimensional game, SubRoc 3D, however, this was at the same time as the Gaming Crash. After being passed around like a hot potato, Sega was eventually bought by CSK who restructured the company and began to take advantage of the resurgent video game market in the United States with the "Sega Master System". ::GEN3::
Sony - As Nintendo continued developing add-ons for the SNES, Sony was focusing on its core business of technology and in 1986 they developed alongside Philips Electronics a new kind of CD-ROM which allowed compressed audio, video/graphics, and data to run simultaneously.
On the news of this hot new technology and leveraging their existing relationship, Nintendo approached Sony to start development on a CD-ROM add-on to the Super Nintendo, with plans on making it Nintendo's first disc-based console. The deal was made in 1988 with Sony crafting the tech and Nintendo releasing the Play Station expansion.
Unfortunately all plans got derailed due to a contract issue that caused Nintendo to reconsider the relationship. Nintendo quietly made a side-deal with Philips Electronics to make a different disc-based SNES add-on and canceled their existing agreement with Sony. While this was a setback for the electronics giant, they decided to continue developing the technology to create their own console, the "Playstation". ::GEN5::
Microsoft - When Microsoft entered the industry, their key focus was to buy their way past Sony. They bought Rare, some Ex-Sega Employees from Sega's third party transition, and attempted to buy out Nintendo. Originally called X-Box (note the additional hyphen), Gates effused about a machine that would be three times as powerful as the PS2 and would transform the way we consumed electronic entertainment. After a year of speculation and excitement, "Xbox" finally hits US stores in 2001. ::GEN6::

Magnavox - Wanted to innovate
Atari - Wanted to expand
Coleco - Wanted to imitate
Nintendo - Wanted to survive
Sega - Wanted to show off
Sony - Nintendo already started them off
Microsoft - To be the best
These are VERY loose and can easily be taken out of context so, I implore that you read the descriptions. At least for the ones that interest you.

I feel kinda bad that more people aren't voting for Magnavox. I think that therein lies a great reason. "Why do games have to be played on a PC?"
Though Nintendo's need for survival is a good reason.
And if Sony just said "**** it" after going through so much development, I think that would have been a bad choice. So I think they have a good reason, though, it's more because doing the other thing would have been stupid.
NNID: Ko-san
Sony I think.
Sega isnt a branch of service games, it is the renamed Service Games.
Can't deny Coleco is awesome tho. We make leather. Why not games?
If I support the game company, then I won't be supporting the blank DVD business.

Oh, I must've missed that.

I like why Sony joined.
Nintendo breaks the contract and burns them in front of an audience, Sony comes back makes their own console and dominates two gens in a row. Not to mention Sega also rejects working with Sony and Sony's PS2 ends up killing them.
TallWhiteNinja 4 years ago#9
They all tie, since every single one of those reasons boils down to "wanted to make money."
Either the worst great player or the best horrible player you'll ever meet.
one of the most interesting thing about sony history is that nintendo approached them to do a snes cd attachment because of their partnership in 1988 to produce the advanced sound chip for the snes. in ces 91, sony thought theyre going to be annouced as partners to produce the snes attachment, but yamauchi didnt like the contract so he secretly canceled it and approached philips instead, but gave the same contract to them for sony.
so not to waste r&d money, sony tried to develop the sony playstation we know today.
and Nintendo actually filed numerous lawsuits against sony that will prevent sony releasing the playstation because they claim nintendo owns the brand playstation.
but in 1992, they settled on bad blood and agreed to work again for a stand alone cd console that will have nintendo ips. but in 1993. sony broke off the partnership and developed the playstation with a new generation hardware.

Derma E Glycolic Facial Cleanser with Marine Plant Extracts Reviews
Acneic Oily Skin Derma E Glycolic Cleanser = Better SkinI have oily skin, and I began using this product a year ago, which was when I was 17. I am Mexican, with oily and acne-prone skin. This Glycolic cleanser helped reduce my oil, and help bring new cells to surface thanks to the Glycolic acid in the cleanser. Now I have the scrub with Vitamin A and it's so much better; but this product is pretty good. — 4 years, 2 months agoSmilefrain18 | 2 reviews

My Reasons for Reporting This


text:
Was it worth it? It is a question we ask ourselves and quickly dismiss as we push ourselves to reach our next goal. It is a question I do not have an answer for at this time, even though it is constantly in my head. This is not the question I ask myself in relation to all the training I have done. Nor was it the question I asked myself as I suffered with calf cramps through the last 6 mile of my first marathon. It wasn't even in my mind as I competed in two sprint triathlons these past two weekends. Of course it was worth it to race and feel like I was flying for just a few moments. It is the question I ask myself as I hobble around my office feeling pain in my left hip every time I get up from sitting, or when I change directions when I am walking. I know that is also the question on other people's minds as they see me limping around. I see it in there expressions when they try to avoid talking about my hip. What I do know is that I do not want to become the poster child for how running can destroy your hip. I do not want that sentiment to be how I am defined, but part of me understands that that is unavoidable. The changes I have seen in myself as I started exercising more and running are what I hope to hold onto even as I stop running for a while. Even though running has shaped a part of me it does not define me and I need to remember that, when I fall into the self-questioning of why did you do this to yourself and was it worth it?
In an attempt to silence these internal doubts I was back in the pool this morning. When I started running, I recognized that I was not a pretty gazelle like runner. Jokingly I referred to my running as warthog running. It doesn't look pretty but there is a lot of raw will involved. My swimming is not much better. Although I have gotten more efficient, pretty is not the word to describe my flailing in the water. I guess you could describe my attempts at controlled drowning as warthog swimming.
I know the rest of the story is unwritten. Laid out before me is only a bare boned outline, but I want to believe that running will be a part of my life again one day. I think that is one of the reasons I wanted to do these two races. I wanted to go out on my own terms and say goodbye to something that has given back to me over the past three years. I am sure my posting will dwindle as I start down a path of repair and recovery and I apologize that sometimes my posts will get dark. I may try to convince myself that this time off is a great way to train mentally, but this unknown road with its hidden hills will be hard to run., but then again I have always loved hills.

Talk about a fashion emergency!
The City's Whitney Port is pleading with fellow reality star Kim Kardashian to whip her messy closet into tip-top shape.
"Kim, if you're reading this please send me some tips on how to turn my closet into a masterpiece!" Port, 25, begged on her blog. "Help!"
After seeing a sign in Beverly Hills promoting a professional closet organization service, the reality star decided to reach out to Kardashian, 29, for some assistance.
"I wish I had Kim's organizational skills because my closet looks like it was hit by a hurricane!" she said.
But why Kardashian?
Port recalled the reality star's experience as a stylist and "wardrobe/clost designer and organizer" before she hit it big on Keeping Up With the Kardashians.
"Kim looks so pulled together everyday so I can only imagine how amazing and perfect her closet must be, especially since she's an expert in this area," Port wrote.
