This page provides answers to common questions we receive from international applicants. We've attempted to consolidate all of the information (or quick links) that you will need, including the additional facts below about: General Questions; Application Process; Score Report Submission; Financial Aid; Interviews; and Communicating With the Office of Admission.
Feel free to contact us if you have questions that are not addressed on our site!
General Questions
Application Instructions are posted here.
Can an international student apply Early Decision (ED)?
Yes, we welcome Early Decision (ED) applications from international students.*Additional commentary on the ED option. Historically, the admission rate for ED candidates is higher than the admission rate for Regular Decision candidates. When applying ED it is required that you read, understand, and submit the signed ED Agreement and the CSS Profile by the ED deadline. Admitted ED students are considered for any merit or need-based awards for which they are eligible, and financial aid is awarded in the same way as Regular Decision candidates. ED applicants receive applicable financial aid awards with the admission letter on the specified ED notification date, typically 3-4 weeks following the ED deadline.
*If you have high financial need and are most interested in being considered for one of our highly competitive comprehensive International Special Scholarships, you should apply as a Regular Decision candidate. These scholarships are awarded by special review committees which do not make their final recommendations until early spring.
*If you begin an ED application but are unable to complete it by the deadline, you may request that your application be moved to the Regular Decision pool. Students denied in the ED process may not re-apply or re-activate their applications for Regular Decision consideration in the same year.
I have only taken the O-Level exams. Do you require the A-Level's?
Yes, applicants submitting O-level exams results only will not be considered for admission. For A-level candidates we require Advanced Subsidiary (or equivalent) results and A-level predictions, usually indicated in the Secondary School Report and/or the counselor or headmaster recommendation letter. This requirement also applies to students who have studied in countries with similar education paths. Examples include, but are not limited to: Ghana: GCE or BECE must be followed by the SSSCE; India: ISSCE must be followed by the ISSE, or ICSE must be followed by the ISC.
I have taken IB, AP, or A-Level courses. Can I get Grinnell College credit for them?
Yes, Grinnell recognizes the rigor of Advanced Placement, International Baccalaureate, and A-level programs and will award general academic credit (applied toward the graduation requirement) for strong performance on these examinations. See the specific policies through the College Catalog and Office of the Registrar.
I am from West Africa. Can I send you a photocopy of my WAEC and NECO results?
No, we require that you purchase a scratch card and send us the scratch card information by email to intladmission[at]grinnell[dot]eduso that we can verify your WAEC or NECO results online.
Application Process
Can I get an application fee waiver?
Grinnell College does not charge an application fee. You can submit an application for free at www.commonapp.org.
I don't have good internet connectivity. Is there another way to apply that is not online?
No. You must apply online at www.commonapp.org. Your local EducationUSA office may be able to assist you with this.
Can I submit my Common Application online and send the school forms by mail?
Yes. While we prefer to receive the school forms (i.e. transcripts, teacher recommendation letters, guidance counselor secondary school report form) online, it is acceptable to submit them by fax, email or postal mail. You can ask your high school guidance counselor (or other most appropriate school administrator or EducationUSA officer) to send us a photocopy of your school forms, transcripts, and test scores by postal mail. This photocopy should contain an original school stamp and signature on it verifying that the copy is true to the original score report. For quicker service the counselor can send them to us by fax (1-641-269-4800) or as an attachment to an email sent to intladmission[at]grinnell[dot]edu. The cover letter of the fax or email should clearly indicate that it is being sent by the high school, and not you the student, in order for us to accept the documents as "official."
Do I have to submit everything all at the same time?
You may submit your documents all at once, or you may submit them individually (or in small batches) as they become ready. Each document must contain your full name and your date of birth. As information is submitted and received we will match them up with your application file.
What is the mailing address for mailing my documents to Grinnell College?
Office of Admission, John Chrystal Center
1103 Park Street, Grinnell College
Grinnell, IA 50112, USA
Do you need my transcripts in the original language or in English?
If your original school transcript is not in English, you must submit a copy in the original language and a copy that has been translated into English. If you send them by postal mail, the original document must have a school stamp and signature, and the English translation must have formal attestation that the results are true and accurate. We prefer that transcripts be submitted through the Common Application website. We will accept documents submitted via fax or email attachment, but only if they clearly indicate that they are being sent to us by a school administrator or EducationUSA officer. If there is any cause for concern regarding authenticity of documents, we reserve the right to contact school officials for confirmation and/or request original, stamped and signed documentation in order to complete the application file.
My mid-year grades cannot be sent until late January or February. What should I do?
We recognize that there are many school systems which run on a different timeline from ours. Submit everything else for your application file by the January 15 deadline and then submit your mid-year transcript as soon as it becomes available, preferably no later than the end of February. Please be in direct communication with us in this case.
Can I send supplemental application materials?
While they are not required, we will gladly accept additional writing samples, essays, letters of recommendation, and other appropriate documents if you feel that they will enhance your application. You may upload these materials through your application portal, which we provide to you once your Common Application has been received. For art and music portfolios we strongly prefer to receive them electronically (through an online product called "SlideShow." Directions on how to connect to SlideShow will be provided to you once you have submitted your Common Application).
When and how will I be notified of my admission/financial aid decision?
Your admission decision and financial aid award, if applicable, will be available on your application portal. We post decisions no later than April 1. Admitted students are sent the Admission letter and Financial Aid Award letter via FedEx Express Courier. We will email you with the tracking number for your convenience. If you are placed on Grinnell's Wait List, or if you are denied admission, we will mail your notification letter via regular international mail service, which takes 2-4 weeks. In addition, this information is posted on your online applicant status page.
What is the "online applicant status page?"
When your application for admission is received and processed, we create a unique username and a password for you. You will receive notification by e-mail of your username and password. The applicant status page is an online service so you can monitor the status of your application, and confirm Grinnell's receipt of the required application documents. Through this online service, you can see a list of the documents that have been processed for you, and a list of the required documents that are still outstanding. You can also view your admission decision, once this information has been released.
If I am given an offer of admission, can I pay my admission deposit by credit card?
Yes. Contact us at intladmission[at]grinnell[dot]edu for the details.
Score Report Submission
Do all international applicants HAVE to submit the TOEFL?
We require the TOEFL for all international applicants, but you can request a waiver of this requirement in limited circumstances. Request a waiver by sending a written request and supporting documentation to confirm one or more of the following:
- a score of 600 or more on your SAT I Critical Reading section (which converts to 27 or higher for the reading section on the ACT exam);
- that you have studied at least three years of high school in an English medium school within the United States, United Kingdom, Australia, or New Zealand;
- that you hold a minimum of sophomore standing in a US College or University and have earned satisfactory grades in humanities and social sciences courses;
- or that you have attended one of the United World College schools
Once we receive proof of one or more of these conditions through receipt of your official SAT (or ACT) score report or official transcript , we will consider a waiver of the TOEFL requirement. Any approved waiver will be reflected on your online applicant status page. Note: We do not accept the SAT II results in lieu of the TOEFL
May I submit my TOEFL score even if I meet one of the TOEFL waiver conditions?
Yes. We encourage you to submit your score report, even if the requirement has been waived for you. Presenting a strong TOEFL score can only help your case for admission. Grinnell's institution code for requesting TOEFL score reports is 6252.
Do you accept the International English Language Testing System (IELTS) exam?
Yes, we will accept the IELTS in lieu of the TOEFL. We require a minimum score of 6.5.
What are the minimum required scores for the TOEFL, SAT I, or ACT?
We do not set minimum test score requirements, but we only admit applicants who can demonstrate a very strong command of the English language because of the significant reading and writing demands required for success at Grinnell. For the class entering in August 2013: the mid-50% TOEFL(iBT) score was 103-109; the SAT I Critical Reading mid-50% range is 570-663; and the SAT I Math mid-50% range is 678-790. Note: We do not currently consider the SAT I Writing score in our academic evaluation. We have so few international students who submit the ACT that it is difficult to determine a mid-50% score range, but to be most competitive, the score would most likely be in the upper 20s or low 30s.
SAT and TOEFL offer exam dates in December, so results might not be available until after Grinnell's January 15 Regular Decision application deadline. Will you still accept these exam results?
Yes, we will accept them through early January. We highly encourage you to request a "rush" report of the results. All other application documents MUST be submitted by the January 15 deadline. We strongly encourage students to sit for these exams on or before their December administrations to ensure full consideration at Grinnell.
Do you accept the SAT II?
These results are not required by Grinnell College. Submitted SAT II results can provide the admissions committee with additional information about your academic strengths, but the test scores are not included in the final analysis that is used in admissions decisions.
I can't afford to send official TOEFL or SAT score reports directly from ETS or the College Board. Is there another option?
You can ask your high school guidance counselor (or other most appropriate school administrator or EducationUSA officer) to send us a photocopy of your standardized test scores by postal mail. This photocopy should contain a school stamp and signature on it verifying that the copy is true to the original score report. Or for quicker service the counselor can send them to us by fax (1-641-269-4800) or as an attachment to an email sent to intladmission[at]grinnell[dot]edu. The cover letter of the fax or email should clearly indicate that it is being sent by the high school, and not you the student, in order for us to accept the scores as "official." If there is any cause for concern regarding authenticity of documents, we reserve the right to contact school officials for confirmation and/or request original, stamped and signed documentation.
Financial Aid
International aid policies and projected comprehensive fees are posted here.
How do I apply for financial aid?
Please submit the CSS Profile. Our school code is 6252.
What do I need to do if I do not intend to apply for financial aid?
Students who do not intend to apply for financial assistance from Grinnell College do not need to submit any financial documentation during the application process. If you receive an offer of admission, we will guide you through the process of submitting the College Board's Certification of Finances later in the spring, during the visa application process.
I cannot afford to pay the full comprehensive fee at Grinnell College. Will my financial need hurt my chances of being admitted?
Like the majority of highly-selective, private liberal arts colleges in the U.S., Grinnell employs a need-sensitive admission policy for international students. This means that your financial aid application is considered along with all of the other components of your application during the admission evaluation. Grinnell has a substantial, but limited, financial aid budget for each international class. The need-sensitive model allows us to best distribute these resources in order to enroll a high-achieving, multi-talented, and geographically diverse class.
How much financial aid do you offer? Is it available to first-year and transfer international students?
The average grant/work aid award for students receiving aid in the class of 2017 was $29,800. We offer a full range of financial aid opportunities including scholarships, grants, loans and on-campus employment. Admitted international transfers are packaged in the same way as first-year applicants.
I have high financial need. If I do not win an International Special Scholarship, what percentage of my demonstrated need is likely to be met by Grinnell?
Grinnell offers international grants that typically meet between 70% - 85% of your need, as determined by Grinnell's review of your CSS Profile.
Are my SAT results high enough to be considered for full financial aid?
Grinnell's financial aid awards are based primarily on demonstrated need, not on exam results. There is no specific SAT score or qualification that would guarantee a particular grant or scholarship amount.
Does Grinnell raise tuition every year?
How a college handles the inevitable annual tuition increases can have a significant future impact on your financial aid situation. Like most schools, Grinnell tuition typically increases by a small percentage annually. However, unlike many schools, Grinnell increases gift aid by 100% of any tuition increase.
Can I arrange a personal interview with a Grinnell admissions representative or alumnus in my home city? Will students who have a personal interview have an advantage in the admission process?
Grinnell College does not require personal interviews, nor do we give special preference to students who participate in on or off-campus interviews.
The International Admission Coordinator and/or his admission colleagues may offer off-campus interviews to applicants in cities included in their international admission travel schedule. You can view our travel plans online and then click on "Connect with your admission representative on the road" link located near the top of the page. The admission office will also send interview invitations to students in its database who reside in these designated travel areas several weeks prior to the interview day. Simply follow the instructions in the email to make detailed arrangements with the admission counselor.
Skype interviews may also be a possibility, only after you have officially submitted your Common Application and CSS Profile to Grinnell. Please keep in mind that all interviews must be completed at least two weeks prior to the application deadline. To make arrangements for a Skype interview, please send your request by email, after you have submitted the Common Application and the CSS Profile, to intladmission[at]grinnell[dot]edu. At this time, we are not set up to offer alumni interviews.
Admission counselors submit written summaries of all interviews conducted. These summaries may be considered in the evaluation process, but do not weigh heavily on the ultimate decision; largely due to issues of fairness, because the vast majority of our international applicants are unable to have interviews.
Communicating with the Office of Admission
How can I receive information and mailings from Grinnell?
The best way to notify us of your interest in receiving information about Grinnell is to submit our online Inquiry Form. If online submission is not an option, you are welcome to email your request to intladmission[at]grinnell[dot]edu. Please include your full name, mailing address, academic and extra-curricular interests, and desired application term within your message.
I have questions that are not addressed on this web site. Where can I direct these questions?
We have created the intladmission[at]grinnell[dot]edu address as a portal for all international admissions-related inquiries. Messages sent to this account are forwarded to the appropriate staff member, and we strive for a 24-hour response time. In most cases, our student interns are able to field most questions. On occasion, questions will be referred on to the International Application Coordinator or the Associate Dean/Coordinator of International Admission.
May I contact a current Grinnell student with my questions?
Certainly! We encourage you to submit your questions, about life and learning at Grinnell, to our intladmission[at]grinnell[dot]edu. Our student intern (a current international student) is the primary respondent for this account, but he/she will also be happy to connect you with another student (perhaps someone from your home region) if you request this.

Pours dark as fuck and thick as shit - is that an accurate description of the appearance? It looks like molasses as it dribbles out of the bottle, pouring will nearly no sound as it collapses into the glass. No head forms at first, even with a direct pour down the middle, until moments after I'm finished pouring and a dark tan film rises from nowhere and puts a skin on the brew.
Aroma comes through full-force with insanely deep roasted coffee; charred espresso and dark, bitter cocoa beans. This is a heavy hitter, alright, and the nose doesn't hold anything back. There is a creaminess to it, carrying over a very light sweetness. But make no mistake - if the initial aroma is any indication, the sheer roasted bitterness of this brew will tower over all else. Some more dark fudge aromas open up as the beer warms, but it remains a deep, black, and bitter type of fudge, still laying low on the sweetness. Surprisingly low alcohol character for being 11-12% ABV, but there is a noticeable warmth to back everything up.
The taste, shockingly enough, opens up with a very light, licorice-like sweetness before converging into the roasted carnage. Bitter-ass roasted coffee beans, and huge charcoal notes take over like none other. This beefy stout plays off of a heavy hop character as well, something else I really enjoy; leafy, ashy, herbal, and spicy. The bitterness from the hops and the bitterness from the roast combine to form a super bitterness that may even be stronger than all of the sweetness from the malt.
Light chocolates and sinister dark fruits play the counterbalancing sweetness role, although they don't stand a chance again the roasted bomb. There is a heavy fade of char, roast, burnt coffee, and nuttiness going into the aftertaste. Overall, the alcohol warms up a bit and gives this baby a fuckin' huge backbone - very robust; it demands that it be sipped slowly rather than slammed in a few seconds. This beer is big.... no, HUGE, on the palate, and creamy all the way through. Super low carbonation, but it almost works, here.
Seriously a badass stout; orgasmically powerful roast from nearly start to finish with a heavy and hard-hitting bitterness through and through. I love stouts like this. For the high ABV, it drinks pretty well. I'm biased towards bitter stouts, so this one was right in my wheelhouse. Simply delicious.

A_ Pours black with a small burgundy color head that dissipates quickly. Very little lacing.
S_ Lots of dark fruits and dark chocolate. You also pick up on the booze. Very fruity though more so than most other RIPs.
T_Tastes great. Dark fruits and chocolate mix together perfectly to give this a nice rich taste.I can also taste coffee in the after taste that gives it a nice bitter finish.A little alcohol burn too.
M_ Thick and full bodied. Goes down pretty smooth and coats the mouth nicely.
D_ The high ABV limits the drinkability but these go down very easy. Could enjoy a couple in sitting but I think these are best savored. Besides two of these and just about anything will taste good

In spite of my aggressive pour into my San Francisco Strong Beers Month 2012 tulip, it pours rather lazily into the glass and just sits there. Very dark brown small quickly fading head just enough to let you know there was some carbonation. Brown line of bubbles cling around edge of glass.
Aroma overpowering burnt chocolate. Very nice. Could sit and take it in all day but it's time to taste it.
Tastes again strong burnt chocolate. Some lingering coffee notes. Alcohol burn. 12% ABV not at all well hidden.
Mouthfeel nice. Lingering taste extends the experience. Alcohol taste remains as well. No cloying effect whatsoever. Could sit here and sip it all day.
This is why beer is better than Cognac.

Center pour from a 12oz. bottle into a tulip glass.
What a lovely pour. A deep rich (nearly black) mahogany with a nice brownish-red foam that quickly dissipates to less than half a finger.
The smell is incredible! I get caramel, toffee, chocolate, perhaps prune, roasted coffee and a bit of booziness.
The first taste: A little bite of booze then a hit of sweetness and fruit followed by dark chocolate and raisin. The aftertaste is dark chocolate, slightly bitter and creamy. It lingers on the tongue, awaiting the next sip.
The mouthfeel is wonderful. Full and creamy with a late tingle on the tongue from the carbonation.
Overall, this is a great beer. Full of wonderful smells and flavors. I feel like the next time I have it, I'll be picking up different layers. I can't wait.

The darkly tanned, thin layer of fizz looked great, though it dissipated more quickly than I'd have liked. Other than that, it's a dark black, imperial-looking stout. Kudos for what appeared like oatmeal sediment as the last drops fell into my Carolina Brewery pint glass.
Smells good and imperial. I've noticed lately how some dubbed RIS fail to smell like the ones that got me so loving the style. This one has a nose for a king (or queen, as it were): dark fruits (without a sourness), nicely toasted malts (with maybe a hint of chocolate without a disgustingly candy aroma), and a poignant while modest alcohol vibe (alluring like a treat instead of an unabashed alcohol bomb).
It's a bit more plummy and figgy than a great one but, thankfully, not overly sweet. It's solidly an appropriate representation of a Russian Imperial Stout. There ia an oatmealish flavor in there, perhaps affirming my sediment observation. The taste of the chocolate, as in the nose, is basically perfect--hinted at without a sweetness smack. This beer really seems to nicely blend all the right components of an RIS. There's nothing really unique about it, on the plus side being plainly good. When the marketplace seems flooded with over-the-top obnoxiously done stouts, this is a simply good (yet imperial) russian stout.
Oatmeal input allows for a silky input. It conjures images of soothing oatmeal baths on sunburn-singed skin. It really, really sits well. It's silky like soy milk. I cringe at penalizing simplicity, but only a complexity could attain world-class status. With all due respect, it feels like a Russian Imperial Stout is supposed to feel.
The alcohol is perfectly intertwined with the taste of this beverage. The aforementioned plumminess makes it a wee bit tart for multiples, but 12% is subtlely placed. The sediment stain I see on the bottom further represents oatmeal presence, but there's a thickness there discouraging multiple sessions. Still, Dark Horse comes strong with a well-built stout. Thanks to NotCreative for the chance to enjoy.

A: Darkest of dark, looks like used motor oil but in a good way. little to no head on the beer.
S: Sweet roast smell, one of the best smelling RIS's I have had
T: Just as it smells, very sweet with the roasted malt finish. As with most RIS's, this gets better as it warms
M: Nicely carbonated and thick in your mouth, just as it should for this style
O: This is one of my favorite RIS's, it pushes the limits of the style but in a very good way. It is hard to tell this is 11% abv

Tottenham defender Benoit Assou-Ekotto returns to first-team training
The Cameroon international has been out for three-months
Wednesday 12 December 2012
Tottenham defender Benoit Assou-Ekotto has resumed first-team training after over three months out with a knee injury.
The Cameroon international has been Spurs' first-choice left-back for the last four seasons, but he has been limited to three appearances so far this term after a niggling injury flared up in September.
He had been expected to be out for four weeks, but the problem was much worse than expected.
The enigmatic 28-year-old raised hopes of a return to action today, however, when he tweeted: "Trainning with the team today !!! I hope as i ll remember the name of every one LOL."
Manager Andre Villas-Boas is expected to confirm whether Assou-Ekotto will be available for Sunday's Barclays Premier League game against Swansea later this week.
The Portuguese could also have another long-term injury victim - Scott Parker - available for the clash at White Hart Lane.
Parker has not played for the first team this season after suffering an Achilles injury in the summer.
The 32-year-old, who won the club's player of the year award last season, has played for the reserves and the Under-21's in the last seven days.

Crappies awards rain on tech award show's parade
The Crunchies are a San Francisco-based dog and pony show for the tech industry, hosted by technology business news site Tech Crunch. But amid rising San Franciscan anger, this year's Crunchies took on a decidely different tone.
At the outset of last night's [Mon/10] awards ceremony, big-time investor and noted "Godfather of Silicon Valley," Ron Conway, asked a question. "Raise your hand if your company is located in San Francisco," he asked the tech employees gathered in Davies Symphony Hall.
Hundreds of hands rose across the audience. That's San Francisco's point of pride, and point of contention. Techies bring jobs and growth, supposedly, to the city, but also all the side effects thereof: a housing crisis, mass evictions, overpriced toast, rising unrest. Even the Crunchies' opener and host, comedian John Oliver (of Daily Show fame), took it to the techies of the city.
"You're no longer the underdogs! It's very important you realize that," he said to the crowd, roasting the attendees who still laughed anyway. He even brought the Google buses into the mix. "Now you're pissing off an entire city, not just what with what you do at work but how you get to work. It's not easy to do that!"
Cue the Crappies, the awards ceremony for the rest of us. Hosted on the sidewalk just outside the Crunchies, the Crappies highlighted folks in tech most responsible for turning San Francisco into a playland for the rich, as opposed to a hometown for families, and put them on blast.
Twitter CEO Dick Costolo was named Best Tax Evader of the Year, in honor of the now estimated $55 million Twitter local tax break championed by Mayor Ed Lee. The man who confused attacks on the 1 percent with Nazi Germany, Tom Perkins, was honored for Diarrhea of the Mouth. Google was honored for driving a Bus in a Bubble. Ron Conway, the angel investor who invested early in companies like AskJeeves and Twitter, was named Angel of Death.
The #Crappies , parodying the nearby tech loving #Crunchies awards here in SF #tech https://t.co/XlmZIFwZAl
— Joe Fitz Rodriguez (@FitzTheReporter) February 11, 2014
Understandably, none of the actual folks awarded came to pick up their colorfully painted plungers, the trophy Crappy award winners were handed. Local activist Tony Robles dressed in a cape, reminscent of a vampire. People posed as their favorite tech evil-doers.
Attendance was sparse at about 50 folks or so, but the political theater played just outside Davies Symphony Hall, well within view of tech employees lining up for their gleaming, red-carpet ceremony.
"I think they were confused and didn't want anything to do with what we were doing," Erin McElroy, a tenants rights activist and event organizer, told us.
An audio interview with protest co-organizer Erin McElroy.
Inside the event, techies dressed in bowties and lavish dresses posed for pictures. Camera in hand, this Guardian reporter was mistaken for an event photographer, and we started to ask attendees (after clarifying we were a reporter) what they thought of the protest outside.
The opinions were decidedly mixed. There were certainly sentiments shrugging off the protest as typical San Francisco antics, but tech workers from outside San Francisco tended to be more sympathetic.
All companies should be civically minded, said Shinta Dhanuwardoyo, CEO and founder of bubu, a tech oriented ad agency. "It doesn't have to be just tech," she said.
Tech isn't responsible for all the city's ails and ills, another attendee told us, but maybe there's a middle ground. "Just paying attention, help and not just trying to make cool stuff, maybe they should," said Aryo Ariotedjo, CEO and co-founder of footwear design website Project Shoe.
But still, some tech folks still aren't getting the message. They reduce protests to simple ideas, like tech hatred, or think that tech is already doing more than enough to help. Silicon Valley news site Venture Beat said the anger against Conway, for example, was misplaced.
"Meanwhile, inside Davies Symphony Hall, Conway delivered a heartfelt speech about the need for tech companies and employees to give back to the community, and pledged $12,000 in matching funds for a fundraiser for nonprofits," they wrote, calling out the Crappies for not recognizing his civic-mindedness.
Its thesis that $12,000 towards nonprofits could make up for the lost homes of hundreds of San Franciscans, or the painful cost of living increases for middle and low income families affected by the tech boom, is questionable, to say the least.

At the end of the day, demonizing tech was not the goal protest organizer Erin McElroy worked towards, she said. Put simply, she just wants tech workers to wake up, to pitch in, and become part of the community.
"We're really not trying to pivot ourselves against tech workers, but it's up to those workers to open their eyes to what's going on," McElroy told us after the event. Displacement and rising costs are tied to tech's presence, and they should pitch in where they can, she said.
"They could protest with us, or come to a tenants' rights meetings," she said. "They could make conscious efforts not to move in where someone was evicted. There's so many things they could do, and that's one of the things we're trying to convey."
The conversation between tech and the community is evolving, and soon there may be hope of real solutions. The Mission District has played host to a series of dinners allowing dicussion between tech and long time residents, and an upcoming Tech Workers Against Displacement Happy Hour touts its goal to "create an open discussion on how improved communication and collaboration can affect reforms needed to stop involuntary displacements of longterm San Franciscans and ensure sustainable, cohesive and diverse communities."
One can only hope tech workers get the message: join the cause. Unite with the communities of San Francisco, and work together to stop displacement.
She moved here three years ago from the East Coast, got her anthropology degree (after first getting a BA in Art) and now is an expert in City Planning and Housing Policy. Quite an amazing young lady.
I am guessing that after she makes a further mess of things here, she will skedaddle either back to where she came from or perhaps the suburbs and join Chris Daly in activist retirement. Maybe she can rent a house from Chris in Fairfield.
Old Time San Franciscans like me have seen her type come through again and again. This is just a playground for her, but some of us are trying to raise our families here.
and she's already dictating to everyone else how to live their lives. Sounds like she's got a great start in progressive politics in SF. She can join other carpetbaggers like Jane Kim, David Campos and John Avalos.

I'm proud of being a transplant. I don't live here because I just "happened" to pop out on this piece of dirt, or because my daddy left me some real estate and it happened to be here and not somewhere else. I came here because I CHOSE to be here, because it's the only place in this country that I can call home. And I know that many young idealistic activists feel the same way. They fight for this city because it's not just another place to them. It's home. I'm glad they're here. They make this city a better place. People like them are why I choose to live here. They may eventually leave, but not because they want to. I think most of them would love to stay, but it's too damn expensive to make a go of it if you don't have inherited wealth/real estate. I find it distasteful that some people, usually long term property owners who are parasitically underpaying property taxes by huge amounts, sit there from the comfort of their private homes disparaging people who love this city, fight to make it better, but are struggling to get by because they don't have the same advantages you do. None of you give a damn about those who struggle to survive in this pressure cooker. You have no idea what it's like, and you don't care. All you know how to do is hate.
I grew up poorer than you Greg, I can just about guarantee it. You really don't have any idea where I am coming from.
And I think Prop 13 stinks, even though I benefit from it.
how to live and are bitter that other do same.
Interesting. I am a local. I'm not a hippie. No one is telling anybody how to live. They're trying to make SF better for everyone, and far from being bitter, I appreciate their efforts.
You can't hide, matlock.
Why is it so important that your rent be subsidized so that you can stay here?
It's nice that you want to be here but so what? Where's the value add that justifie it being public policy to subsidize someone like you?
I'm not on Section 8, which is the only true "subsidy" that I know of for renters. I subsidize my landlord's lifestyle -in their case, I'm subsidizing their retirement. I work, so that my landlord doesn't have to.
de facto subsidy from your landlord.
Why should public policy favor that? What do I gain from having you in SF over someone willing to pay their own way?
If I enter into a legal agreement with a landlord that I will rent an apartment at a price that he/she deems to be market rate, and then have it adjusted for inflation thereafter, then how is the landlord somehow subsidizing me by living up to that agreement?
They gave up the opportunity cost of speculating on higher rents but they are still getting what they agreed to on an inflation adjusted basis
is typically 12 months in the US.
Normally you would then be offered a new lease at a new rent. But SF forces the lease to be permanent, and allows only trivial increases in the rent.
The longer you are there, the longer the subsidy becomes, the subsidy being the income foregone by the property owner.
It's a not a subsidy from the government. It is a government from the property owner.
And eventually the gap becomes so large that the owner Ellis'es you because the owner can no longer regard his investment as viable.,
Thanks for the explanation. It's a shame that the landlord didn't know about rent control when he/she purchased a rental property in San Francisco. They probably could have negotiated a better price.
guess your argument is that they should not whine when they get evicted.
Yes, I agree. Every rent controlled tenant should be constantly re accessing their landlord's motivation and ability to Ellis. I happen to live in a place that would be a major, very expensive PITA to Ellis.
And since there is no legal defense, the legal costs are predictable too.
Likewise, it's not hard to figure how probable an Ellis is going to be. Just look at the rents in the building. If they are all less than 50% of market, you're at risk.
25% of market, it's a near certainty.
Now innocent San Franciscans have to pay to cover some newbie landlord's poor business sense.
WILL be Ellis'ed, and it really doesn't matter who owns it.
Those tenants knew the risk of Ellis when they rented. So why did they have such poor business sense to rent it anyway? When they could rented in a building with less risk of Ellis?
Tenants, always compute the probability of Ellis before taking a place. If all your neighbors are freeloaders and lifers, be afraid.
You mean tenants who didn't do their due diligence? That's not innocence. That's risky behavior.
Anyone can call themselves anything - this is an anonymous chatroom.
After your masters reworked the interface I could no longer post using my advanced naming conceptual framework.
And of course progressives want to tell people how to live, how you think otherwise is a preposterous statement on your part.
Remember Greg, you may be the next kicked off the progressive island..
You make me sick.
And the work they're doing makes the whole city a better place. Unlike the bloodsucker rentier class who live off the labor of others.
so that you can have a home? Is that a valueless activity?
Blocking Google Buses, talking to journalists and throwing parties is not really my idea of work. Though I guess you could argue that it is, since it presumably benefits society.
I have done some activist stuff before I had kids, I thought it was fun and exciting, but I never considered it work.

Artist Resume
Erin McElroy's scholarship, art, and activism focuses upon deconstructing systems of dispossession in postcolonial and postnational contexts – in Romania, the United States, and Western Europe. In Romania, McElroy is interested in studying formations of xenophobia that lead to the eviction and ghettoization of Roma communities, formations that instigate internal displacement within the state and increased migration to Western European spaces, where other enactments of violence transpire. McElroy explores the ways in which historically nomadic communities are racialized and sexualized as threatening the paternal logos of sedentary and settler normativity. In the US, McElroy co-convenes the Anti-Eviction Mapping Project, a collaborative effort making visible what gentrification and forced evictions seek to invisibilize, utilizing GIS mapping, digital storytelling, and oral history. McElroy also teaches an ongoing class at CounterPulse on modern yoga, liberalism, colonialism, and cultural appropriation. McElroy earned a MA in Social and Cultural Anthropology from the California Institute of Integral Studies in 2011, and a BA in Humanities, Arts, and Cultural Studies from Hampshire College in 2004.
As Spiro Agnew once said nattering nabobery
LOLz - she never got a single grade as both schools don't provide "grades" which are, after all, outmoded sexist & colonialist attempts at commodifying wimmin's work.
Says more about her than what any grades may have ever said.
No sane person would hire anyone that uses that post modern anti-sense bullshit seriously.
You missed your true calling. You would have made a good studio spy or HUAC investigator.
Poor Greg, mocking idiots is different than your obsession around who deserves to live in San Francisco.
to judge who lives in San Francisco.
Can you pass the Greg test?
Gah! Thanks for sharing! What a maroon! Everyone hates the fuckin Gypsies in Europe and wherever else they are. I love how she strings terms together she read about in sociology class and assumes its "Romanian xenophobia" that's the source of the gypsies' plight!
I read her bit it as "I wrote some doggerel prose with non words strung together making little sense, look at me!!!"
There was something political in there somewhere? Who knew?

"Its thesis that $12,000 towards nonprofits could make up for the lost homes of hundreds of San Franciscans, or the painful cost of living increases for middle and low income families affected by the tech boom, is questionable, to say the least. "
So just what is YOUR thesis? That any effort that doesn't completely make up for all of those issues in one swoop isn't worth taking? That it's all or nothing when it comes to help? No increments allowed?
BG thesis: You have lots of money and we don't. So you should give us as much as we need (want). We feel we should be able to live where we want (despite not being able to afford it) and get the pay that we think we deserve (regardless of the fact that the market vehemently disagrees with us).
Oh I forgot one other thing. Live where I want, for whatever I want to pay, and if it's more than that, someone needs to subsidize the difference.
It's like being a kid again, with mom and pop giving them everything.
You come here for a few years, hook up with a significant other and then move back to were you came from. While here you vote for the biggest dumb progressive dreamer, thus ruining it for everyone else, then when you pop out a few kids and want to send them to public school on SF's public transit you beat it back to where you came from... Because you don't want to suffer the effects of your voting and screaming.
These Crappies are the one thing less relevant than the Crunchies
One of the Crappies organizers is Gordon Mar...Supervisor Eric Mar's brother.
Union shill and professional protestor.
It runs in the family.
entitlement. Whatever they want, they get.
And that is why they love rent control, because it gives them something for nothing.
Chris Daly does not have a trust fund. What makes you think Erin does? I am curious how she pays the bills though.
homes. That fits the definition.
Screw this ellis act crisis business, we have a crisis of douche activists
They both come to SF because it is the only city that will tolerate them.
Erin etc. has one skill - the ability to make a minority fringe opinion sound like it is a majority opinion, if only because the press lap this shit up instead of ignoring it as every other city does.
Each eviction reduces the number of RC units and no new ones are being created. already less than 50% of SF homes are rent controlled and that percentage will drop every year until this is a non-issue.
Then the SF demographics will have changed so much we'll never hear about it again. Oakland, OTOH, will become even worse, but they are ehading for bankruptcy anyway, so screw them.
erin is my hero!!!!

BEVERLY, Mass. — As one official after another stood up to praise him, Fred Butler was ready with the occasional comment.
"I voted for you," he told Beverly, Mass. Mayor Bill Scanlon.
"I remember when you played football," he said to Beverly High School Principal Sean Gallagher.
At 106, Butler doesn't have to prove anything to anybody. But his bantering showed that even at his age, his mind is sharp enough to merit the honor he was finally given yesterday.
Butler, the city's oldest resident, was presented with an honorary high school diploma in a ceremony in the Beverly High School library.
Sitting in a wheelchair, his winter coat still on over a buttoned-up sweater, Butler appeared to be overcome by emotion when School Committee President Maria Decker handed him his diploma and the audience of about 100 family members, officials and students gave him a standing ovation.
"I thank everybody who is responsible for this," he said. "I certainly appreciate it."
Butler, who was born in 1906, dropped out of school in the ninth grade to work full time in a printing shop to help support his mother and five siblings.
He went on to lead a good life, raising five children with his wife of 65 years, getting drafted into World War II at age 35 and working for the Beverly water department. But family members said he always regretted never earning his diploma.
"It never slowed him down or stopped him, but it prompted him to always send the message to his children and grandchildren of the importance of education," daughter-in-law Cathy Butler said. "The first thing he always asks is, 'How'd you do in school today?'"
His grandson, Mike Calabro, recalled looking forward to the $5 he would get from his grandfather for every A on his report card.

1937 John Deere A
You know, green, blue, orange, etc...
Moderator: Team Cub
1937 John Deere A
My dad found this tractor sitting in a swamp area around Canton, Ohio back in 1965.
The engine was stuck and the whole thing was in pretty bad shape, the owner sold it to him at that time for $35 cash.... I was about 5 at the time and I remember him draging it home where got it running while mom took the paint brush to the whole thing. We lived in a small town and he kept it there for a while riding us around until time to haul it south to our farm in WVa.
About 4 years later we moved south while he drove the distance back and forth every week until he retired about 1981. Every weekend my brothers and I would have to have things ready for him when he came home, one of those things was hauling water from the well to fill the A. Each Sunday after working all weekend he'd open the gate valve and drain it all out.
It woke me up from sleep many Sunday mornings and I'd hit the floor to catch a ride to keep from walking where ever on the farm we were working that day. Dad used it for everything from using the rear wheels to clean the farm ditches to running the square bailer, hammer mill and pulling the spreader. I remember my brother and I riding on the front bolster to add extra weight while dad was climbing steep hills. This is the tractor that the pto caught my pants and tore them off of me when I climbed on from the rear.... Boy was dad ever mad.
About 1987 he parked it in the shed, he had larger tractors and was tired of hand cranking the thing. At that time I picked it up and stripped the paint, added new tires and a paint job. I ran it in a local parade and put it back to work pulling a trailer type bush hog mowing 3 acres a few times a year. I've given it a nicer paint job since then and used it for many many tasks.
It's the most dependable tractor I have and will start at any time asked. I've started it several times the past year but never had it out of the barn....
I fell bad about that, and it'll get the workout this summer running around this neighborhood until Christmas parade time before going under covers again.
This tractor is what lead me to cubs, I remember the good and bad times with dad while using the A and I wanted to share a memory with Grayson that will out last me.

Re: 1937 John Deere A
Thanks for sharing Yogie. Great story and great looking tractor. I was raised on a '49 John Deere A and will never forget that tractor. It is obvious that you have a connection to that tractor and want to pass that Dad - Tractor - Son connection to Gray Cub with his Cub. Good job.
My '37 A will also start anytime even 20 below zero. Close the choke and roll it over a few times. When it pops, open the choke, roll it over again and away it goes!! I used to tie a long rope to a sled and pull my daughter around the field in the snow when she was younger. The skeleton wheels go through the deep snow better than my JD B with pneumatic tires. The steel wheels go right through the snow and bite into the frozen ground. Good times!!

The FOX Diamond-Cams.
Major League Baseball's 75th Midsummer Classic will be a multimedia marvel unlike any before it, partly because of the unprecedented close-up views that fans will see during the FOX telecast. The cameras will offer three new angles and those views will be streamed, live and for free, at MLB.com.
The FOX Diamond-Cams, provided by Broadcast Sports Incorporated, were installed in the natural-grass infield more than a month ago at Minute Maid Park and will be tested in the upcoming week, according to Ed Goren, president of FOX Sports. These "lipstick cameras" will present exceptional, upward-looking field-level views of home plate and the pitcher's mound.
Fans are about to get more intimate than ever with Roger Clemens and Mariano Rivera, and they will be choosing online whether they want to view the left-handed-hitting angle to watch Jim Thome or the other one to watch Alex Rodriguez.
Each camera consists of a Camera Control Unit (CCU), which contains a Charged Coupled Device (CCD) sensor and a lens. The lens is screwed onto the CCD sensor and buried four inches in the ground with only the very tip of the camera lens poking out of the infield clay (less than a half-inch from the playing surface) at the transition of the clay to the grass facing home plate.
The combination sensor and lens is approximately two inches long and one-quarter inch in diameter. The CCU allows a computer to control the iris and colors of the camera. Two cameras are positioned facing toward home plate, each on opposite sides about three feet from the center line to look directly at either a right- or left-handed batter. The third camera is positioned directly upward at the pitcher and is located on the center line of the pitching mound at the transition from clay to the grass.
"Baseball over the years has been criticized in a way of not moving forward and really looking back as opposed to forward," Goren said during a conference call with reporters Wednesday. "Over the last few years, I think the evolution of the baseball broadcast ... is rather remarkable. We've been able to mic players, we've had the catcher cam, we can now interview players who come out of game and managers during the game. The FOX Diamond-Cam is just the next step in the process.
"The cameras are about the size of an eraser on a pencil, and there will be two cameras placed in the grass area pointed toward home plate just beyond the dirt cutout that will frame the batter, catcher and umpire. It's a very intimate look. And then there will be a third camera on the grass pointed back at the pitcher just in front of the mound, and again with a very intimate look at a pitcher's windup and pitch. I'm really looking forward to seeing the results of these cameras. I think they will provide a much more intimate look at the game than we've been able to have with manned cameras around the field."
Goren emphasized the importance of a cooperative effort between the broadcasters, Major League Baseball and the Players Association to bring increasingly greater access to fans in this type of way. Goren said the FOX Diamond-Cams "will bring [fans] closer to the action than ever before."
Throughout the game, fans at MLB.com, Foxsports.com and MSN.com will be able to select one live stream from these three angles: "Bats Left," Bats Right" and "Pitcher." It is a completely new element of control for fans during baseball's annual summer showcase event -- and it could be just the beginning.
"I think this is going to be the first step with these cameras," Goren said. "Again, it didn't happen without the cooperation of the Commissioner's office and the Players Association and the Houston Astros, and hopefully it provides the kind of look and results that it will be the first of many times we'll be able to provide this kind of coverage."
When asked if the FOX Diamond-Cams would be used in subsequent 2004 Major League games, Goren said, "If not the regular season, then I am certainly hopeful for the postseason. But let's see what the look is, and if it's what I anticipate it being, we'll certainly try to expand it."
In addition, FOX will utilize 10 replay machines, including three with super-slow motion capability. MLB on FOX's trademark "Sounds of the Game" are captured by more than 60 microphones positioned around the field. Additional microphones will added to this year's broadcast, and are expected to be utilized by several players as well as managers and coaches.

HHS avoids first-round scare, beats Avery with last-minute goal
Wed. May 08, 2013 at 9:31 p.m. | By Brittany Jackson
Expecting a match much like the last time they faced Avery County in mid-April and won 6-1, Hendersonville was in for a surprise as the Lady Bearcats just barely avoided overtime in the first round of the 1-A state playoffs with a late goal for the 2-1 win over the Lady Vikings, Wednesday at Dietz Field.
The halftime score was 0-0 despite Hendersonville's efforts to create scoring opportunities.
"The first half we were too confident and played slow. We had clear shots but our touches were off and we had problems finishing," said HHS coach Freddy Oviedo.
Just eight minutes into the second half, Marietta Melendez put the ball past Avery's goalie with an assist from Tamia Smith and let the Bearcat fans breathe a sigh of relief.
But eight minutes later, in the 56th minute, a breach in the normally solid HHS defense opened up a clearing right in front of the goal, and Kylie Polsgrove took the shot to tie the score at 1.
"Our defense went to sleep after we scored and were caught flat on Avery's goal," Oviedo said. "We can't play like that; it's only going to get harder from here."
Hendersonville took a few more shots with no luck, but it was freshman Wesleigh Marshall in the 73rd minute that tapped in the ball just a few feet from the goal off an assist from Shannon Reeves. Fans and players erupted as the ball slowly rolled past the goal line to put HHS back on top, 2-1.
The Lady Bearcats took 29 shots to Avery's 16, and HHS goalie Ashley Mel, who was pulled up from JV for the postseason, had nine saves. Avery closed its season at 8-10.
"This will hopefully wake us up, because we might see Thomas Jefferson in the next couple of rounds, and just because we beat them twice in the regular season that doesn't mean anything in the playoffs," Oviedo said.
The Lady Bearcats (17-3-2) will host wild-card Bishop McGuinness (12-4-2) from the Northwest Conference on Saturday at Dietz Field, time to be determined. McGuinness beat West Wilkes in the first round, 7-2.

Much like they did for the Red Sox during the first half, Ramirez and Ortiz used the longball to help their team win.
This time, the team was the American League All-Stars, who rode homers from the Boston duo to a 9-4 victory.
Yankees shortstop Derek Jeter was glad to have the fearsome duo helping his cause for once.
"Those guys have been doing it all year," said Jeter. "We've seen Manny and Ortiz enough from playing against them so much."
Ramirez, who leads the league with 26 homers, ripped a two-run homer off the Astros' Roger Clemens in the top of the first. His 338-foot shot made it 3-0.
It was a classic showdown of power pitcher vs. power hitter, and Ramirez came out on top.
The left fielder teed off on an 0-2 pitch from Clemens and blasted his first career All-Star homer.
"Everybody knows Manny," said Ortiz. "No one was surprised in the dugout when Manny hit the ball like that. Manny puts so much into it every time he steps up to the plate. Manny is such a great hitter. It was a good pitch. He's so good that he can stay with it and still drive it like that. He said, 'I guess that's my first big hit in an All-Star Game, as long as I've been playing in All-Star Games.'"
While Ramirez (1-for-2) spent the Derby serving as Ortiz's personal coach and motivator, he simply passed the power torch to his close friend during the All-Star Game.
Ortiz (1-for-1, two walks) had been having a grand time taking part in the festivities of his first All-Star berth the last couple of days. With a seemingly permanent smile on his face, the left-handed masher made the trip to Houston even more memorable in the top of the sixth inning.
It was then that he launched an 86 mph slider from Marlins right-hander Carl Pavano into the upper deck in right field. The blast was measured at 423 feet.
Was that all?
"David's ball, that was a bomb," said Red Sox right-hander Curt Schilling, who didn't pitch in the game because of his bruised right ankle. "That ball was crushed. It was special. I'm so happy for him."
Ortiz was happy to find the upper deck that was so elusive to him a night earlier.
"I wasn't expecting to hit it out of the park, but that's what people come to watch," Ortiz said.
Ramirez, on the other hand, was certainly expecting what Ortiz ended up dong.
"He said he called mine," Ortiz said. "He said he knew I was going to go deep."
Yankees manager Joe Torre also had a pretty good idea of what was coming.
"Why don't you go do to someone else what you always do to us," Torre told Ortiz on his way to the plate. "As much as I hate David Ortiz while he's trotting around the bases against us, I still respect what he does."
After Ortiz's homer, Miguel Tejada wiped him down in the dugout with a towel. Ortiz did the same thing to Tejada on Monday night, cheering the Baltimore star on to victory in the Century 21 Home Run Derby.
"Today he was cleaning my face. He was giving me the energy I gave him last night," said Ortiz.
As for Ortiz, his homer off Pavano was the continuation of a memorable breakout season. He is hitting .304 with 23 homers and 78 RBIs.
"It was so much fun," Ortiz said. "I barely can talk right now. The guys made me laugh so much, but it was unbelievable."
Ortiz's first at-bat came in the fourth inning, when he pinch-hit for Ramirez and drew a walk. He galloped home on Alex Rodriguez's triple.
In the ninth, Ortiz got a chance to face the game's premier closer, walking on a 3-2 pitch from the menacing Eric Gagne.
Upon packing up his belongings and getting ready for Anaheim, where the Sox play a four-game series this weekend, Ortiz hoped this was his first of many tastes of the All-Star festivities.
"That's what makes guys be consistent every year, because it's so much fun to be here every year," said Ortiz. "I'm going to be pushing hard year by year to see if I can come to more All Star Games."

It's one of the most talked-about trends in education right now. Right behind the iPad and Common Core. Flipping your classroom is a trend that doesn't seem to be going away any time soon. That's great, because it offers a lot of advantages for your classroom regardless of your students' age or what subject matter …

Beth Dichter's insight:
This infographic/visualization provides six steps that show how to flip a classroom. It also makes it clear that after you work through the six steps you must also review what has taken place, revise as necessary and then repeat.
The six steps are:
1. Plan
2. Record
3. Share
4. Change
5. Group
6. Regroup
But to understand what they mean by each of these you should go to the post. Flipping the classroom takes time, but today there are many locations where you can find great videos that will work for you. There are numerous tools available that help you create videos on your own, or take an existing video and add comments, questions, etc., so that it will meet your needs. If you are considering using video as a way to flip your class in the upcoming school year this post also provides links to additional resources that you may find helpful.

The detail and design on this sink is incredible! It really does look like I am looking into outer-space with this. But it's not as nerdy. It is really cool to look at and it works perfectly.
From the description and the picture you couldn't tell that the outside of the vessel sink was rough. I expected it to be smooth and therefore I personally did not like it. The picture makes it look more glowing than it really is. It may work for someone else it just wasn't for me.
This sink is heavy, well made and beautiful. It is very unique. It does have tiny hints of gold that are hard to tell from the picture. Fast shipping too.
I just LOVE this sink and have gotten many compliments. Paired it with a bronze faucet and fixtures. Packaging was very impressive. Wrapped in a cloth bag, and surrounded in styrofoam.
This vessel sink adds real distinction to a bathroom. We got it for a small powder room and I knew it would be the show-stopper that I would have to decorate around. It sits on black granite and I got an oiled bronzed faucet (also from o.com) which matches perfectly. The rest of the room is understated, showcasing this sink. The effect is stunning. Love it.
This sink looks great. I submerged it 2/3 down into a granite counter top and have gotten rave reviews from everyone who has seen it. Arrived well packaged in styrofoam and a cloth bag.

seriously? let it rest. no UF fan is going to respond here except to throw flames your way. FSU isnt squeaky clean either. weve had our share of black eyes as well...............
while Urban Meyer isnt the guy most UF fans though he was, i dont believe any rules were broken under his watch. although the article was pretty long, maybe i missed something. i also believe there was another pretty well known coach that said he always treated players differently.
So does everyone still NOT believe Percy Harvin didn't do pretty much anything he wanted with no restrictions from anyone in the athletic department?Percy was indeed a great NFL talent... Florida just looked the other way as far as he was concerned which is something I pointed out often much to the chagrin and anger of UF fans not willing to be honest and truthful about the program.. YES, HELL YES WE CHEAT is a relevant today as it was in 1984. UF is just better at keeping it under covers until they all leave.
It is a good thing you do not have to pass a breathalyzer to post or start threads ..... although it wouldn't be a horrible idea

Roche-Posay Anthelios 60 Ultra Light Sunscreen Fluid. The
ultra light formula never feels greasy, yet it provides a super shield
against sun burn and damage. A SkinCareRx Customer says about the
sunscreen: "It's light, does not look greasy, and does not smell. Best
of all, it's truly non-comedogenic."
