The curiosity over this product has been nothing short of startling, especially when you consider the formula. Many of you have asked us about this roll-on mask that claims to tighten skin, reduce wrinkles and enlarged pores, and basically improve anything you don't like about your complexion. For what this costs, it better do all that and file our tax returns, too!
Before we get to the ingredients, it's worth mentioning that no single product can do it all. No question there are products out there that can tackle multiple skin concerns, but the gamut of claims for Skincerity Nightly Breathable Mask is over the top. This product is far from a transformative treatment for skin; in fact, regular use can be a big problem for all skin types, and many skin concerns!
The main ingredient in this "breathable" mask is acetone. You read that correctly, acetone, as in nail polish remover. This ingredient is, by nature, drying, not hydrating. It immediately damages substances (such as fatty acids) in skin that keep it smooth and healthy (Sources: Journal of Applied Toxicology, August 2012, pages 537–563; Skin Research and Technology, November 2007, pages 425–435; British Journal of Dermatology, April 1999, pages 739–748; and Microscopy Research and Technique, May 1997, pages 193–199). In short, this is not an ingredient you'd want to put all over your face nightly, or even once weekly.
Interestingly, the NuCerity website refers to the acetone in Skincerity as "medical-grade acetone". Unfortunately, there is no such ingredient or classification for acetone, at least, not that the FDA or our toxicologists have ever heard of. Simply put, acetone is acetone!
The rest of the formula includes a polymer chemical often used in Teflon-coated cookware, vitamin E (tocopheryl acetate), a film-forming agent typically seen in hairsprays, water, grape oil, and fragrance. That's it! Between the acetone and the film-forming agent you're getting the "breathable barrier" that is supposed to function like a second skin, but for the most part the formula deprives your skin of what it needs to look and act younger. A water- or silicone-based antioxidant serum loaded with skin-repairing and cell-communicating ingredients can do so much more, all without the problems acetone presents—and bear in mind that removing Skincerity requires effort; it won't just wash off with your cleanser.
We cannot express emphatically enough what a waste of time and money this product is, but even if you have all the time and money in the world, please don't bother using this product. The toning and tightening you'll feel is from the acetone, and that's due its damaging, dehydrating properties. The good ingredients this contains (including vitamin E and grape seed oil) are found in numerous other products that don't put your skin at risk for irritation and, in all likelihood, more problems.
Tones and tightens your skin. Smooths and brightens dull facial complexions. Reduces the appearance of skins fine lines,wrinkles, enlarged porse and also facial redness. It hydrates and nourishes dry damaged skin.

Skincerity Nightly Breathable Masque is one of a handful of products sold by a company known as NuCerity International. For the time being, we are only reviewing their Skincerity product as it's the one we're asked about most (and one of the most shockingly bad formulas we've seen in years, but more on that in the review itself).
According to NuCerity's website, they offer "a comprehensive home-based business opportunity that can help you supplement your current income, replace it completely or build a solid business foundation that can set the stage for lasting wealth. It is a conscious decision that Nucerity has chosen person-to-person marketing as the optimal channel to distribute its leading-edge products." If their other products are anything like Skincerity (and there's no way to find that out unless you order them) then this is not a company we'd encourage anyone to get involved with. Simply clicking around their website can be confounding, as you run into dead ends and other impediments when trying to find out more than what the company wishes to make prominent.
This company is over the top in many ways, perhaps the least of which involves promises of long-term wealth and "a lasting legacy for your children and grandchildren". These are personal care products being sold, not feats of epic bravery or one-of-a-kind works of art! The superlatives may seem enticing, but think twice before getting on board Nucerity—as they say, don't quit your day job!
Note: Although we don't recommend Skincerity, you should know that unless you're purchasing online from a third-party supplier, you cannot order products from NuCerity's site unless you have a NuCerity sponsor and know that sponsor's ID and user name. Talk about not making it easier, and we strongly suspect any NuCerity sponsor you encounter will attempt to convince you to become a distributor too, because that's a big way they make money.

I have read the banter above and decided to see what all the cafufle is about. Bottom line is the stuff works even if we don't understand why or how. I don't understand how a space craft launches but it doesn't change the fact that it does.
Come on everyone, open your eyes but be humble enough to admit the possibility that you may be wrong. The evidence is in so let it speak for itself!
Thanks to those who created the uproar - I have discovered the product I've been looking for!
I am 65 years old and was introduced to Nucerity about 6 months ago. I have tried so many products throughout the years and I have never found one I like as much as Nucerity. It almost immediately evened out my skintone. It has helped fade scars, bumps and fine lines. The acetone odor fades almost immediately. I think everyone should try this product. Yes it is fairly expensive but it WORKS. When I think of all the money I have waisted over the years on products that didn't work! Love it!!!!
I LOVE this product and I don't find it pricey at all. Maybe if you're comparing to bar soap and water? Have a great day!:)
I have been using skincerity on my skin for the last few months. I am from Australia by the way. And I had noticed results in the first week. I would recommend this product to anyone the price is great because the product works.
Do not use this product! I have average skin (not very oily, but not dry either) but I decided to try this masque to see if it would help with a sudden breakout... NEVER AGAIN! It left my face dry and irritated. My once smooth skin is now rough and bumpy. The only way I would recommend this is if you have skin that drips with oil; otherwise save your money and your face. You're better off with soap and water.
From Australia, I m just using the Roll on mask Fr Skincerity. I have bad habbit of picking my chin.
My chin was all inflame , red spots . its looked terrible. My god did 'nt know what to use then I 've been given
a sample of the roll on mask to try. I just can't believe how it help to heal the redness of my skin inthe next morning. I 've been using many many different products for healing and scar but THis one is the best , heal the wound just instant/. I love it.
Speaking from personal experience and actually using the product, this product has helped me with my breakouts and acne scars! I use to use medicated creams to help control my acne but they would make my skin sensitive and dry. I have used Skincerity for over 6 months with no irritation and no more acne! This has helped me get my confidence back.
The acetone used in Skincerity is to keep bacteria from entering the bottle and any bacteria off of your face! It evaporates within seconds of touching the skin - thats why anyone who has used it knows the smell of acetone is gone within seconds!!
I have tried everything under the sun from naturopathy to Roaccutane to laser scar removal and NOTHING has worked like skincerity!!
Bad Bad Bad stuff. Made my skin red, sore and so so hot. Used it twice and one week later still my skin is inflamed.
Don't use it. Dried my hands out and still can not get the moisture back into it.
You compare the acetone found in Skincerity with the acetone in nail polish remover and state claims that it is terrible for the skin, even though it is naturally produced within the body. Sometimes things that could sound terrible are actually helpful. Nitroglycerin is used in making bombs. Who would want to ingest that? Yet it is widely used for heart attack patients. It works. Acetone is a needed ingredient of Skincerity and I wouldn't use this product without the cleansing it provides.
I am astounded that you gave such a fantastic product the reviews you did. I have been using the complete 5 product line for just 2 months and the deep acne scarring I have had for years ( even Retin-A could only do so much to fade) - and I have never gotten more compliments almost daily on my skin. Not only is my skin drastically almost flawless in color, tone, and texture, but a deep dash on the side of my face I have had for 25 years is almost gone. These products are incredible.
My 49 year old skin is healthier than when I was 25. It's mom and doctor approved!! I have used this product for 3 years if it dried out my skin I would not continue to use it. Be smart enough to give it a fair evaluation. Its different than anything you will ever try don't be scared of the technology it does work if you let it!!
I have seen amazing results. Personally and on my mother, husband and three children. It has faded scars, evened out my skin tone to name a few!
I will not be able to live with out this product!
I have friends marketing this product but really, they are marketing the business. The product is a way to deliver that. I agree with Paula's assessment. Never once did she say that vitamin E and grape oil applied faithfully to your skin wouldn't bring positive results. What I read is that the delivery method was flawed - both the application and the removal of the product. I also read that there are other, better products out there that will bring better results. I know, I use them!
look Paula, you need to give up on the acetone argument cause that's all you've got here. this product is GREAT its reduced stretch marks, acne scars and blemishes. works on cuts, scratches, bug bites, bee stings, burns, you name it. Skincerity is a breathable liquid band aid. a mothers breast milk produces more acetone than what is in a bottle of skincerity. my whole family uses the product that's a 36 year old a 18 year old and a 14 year old all for different reasons. HIGHLY RECCOMENDED
I have searched for years for a product that would lessen the bags under my eyes and help the scarring on my face from a car accident over a decade ago. I tried Skincerity for two weeks - the result was red skin, dry skin and an irritated husband from the stink of the acetone.
I don't know what "medical grade" means when we're talking about smearing nail polish remover across your face - but I can't get my head around it.
If you had bothered to do any research you would find that this is not the same acetone as in nail varnish! Acetone is used in babywipes you even produce acetone in your body. from Nucerity Website: The Skincerity pharmaceutical-grade acetone (2-Propanone) is non-toxic and does not dry the skin. The Skincerity acetone is used to prepare the skin, turn the liquid in the bottle into a clear masque, keep bacteria out of the bottle, and create skin healthy micro-porous breathing holes in the film.
Paula, I have not read anything negative other than your posting, so hard to make a decision yet.
There must be something about this line of Nucerity that works from the people that I have talked to and seen the difference.
Medical/science professionals and their wives are using this and very pleased with the results.
I know that it sounds strange considering the product acetone.
And they can afford any line if makeup/skin care products! I am just starting to use it and will see soon.
Hi Paula - I'm sorry, but you're really wrong on this review. My sister gave me a bottle of Skincerity to try and OMG I saw fantastic results. Definitely reduced fine lines around mouth and eyes, better tone, less age spots. I was curious and read a lot...think you should contact the company. You're description of the ingredients is too simplified and not correct...please give it another look because I've got friends who are also having amazing results with this product. Thanks!

American League Preview from The Sports Network
Saturday, May 4 (All times Eastern)
Seattle Mariners (14-17) at Toronto Blue Jays (10-20), 1:07 p.m.
Probable Starting Pitchers: Seattle - Hisashi Iwakuma (2-1, 1.67) Toronto - R.A. Dickey (2-4, 4.50)
(Sports Network) - Already 10 games under .500 barely a month into the season, the Toronto Blue Jays try to bring a stop to a three-game slide Saturday afternoon as they clash with the Seattle Mariners in the second of a three- game set at Rogers Centre.
A mere 6-11 at home in 2013, the Jays find themselves 10 1/2 games off the pace in the American League East after bowing to the Mariners in the series opener on Friday, 4-0, for the club's seventh loss in the last eight games.
Kyle Seager accounted for three of the eight hits produced by Seattle last night, belting his fourth home run of the season as he knocked in a pair. Also going deep for the visitors was Jason Bay with his third of the campaign.
Seattle starter Felix Hernandez notched his fourth win in six decisions as he threw eight shutout innings, allowing five hits while striking out seven.
"He's special. He goes about his business," Seager said of Hernandez. "Tonight, you give him a couple runs, and you know he's going to take care of the rest.
"There is really nothing he can't do out there on the mound."
On the other side, Ricky Romero lasted just four innings for the hosts, permitting three runs on three hits and a trio of walks, while fanning four, as he suffered the loss.
No one on the Jays had more than one hit. Among those in the starting lineup, only Colby Rasmus (.255) is batting above .240 at the moment, with the team as a whole placing last in all of baseball with an average of just .226 through 30 games.
Set to make his seventh appearance of the season this afternoon for the Mariners on the mound is Hisashi Iwakuma. The second-year hurler won two of his first three outings of 2013 but has since been dealt one loss and a couple of no-decisions.
Most recently the right-hander took the hill against the Angels last weekend and made it through six innings, permitting just one unearned run on three hits, while striking out eight in what turned into a 2-1 home win for Seattle.
Iwakuma, who is carrying a mere 1.67 ERA and has 37 strikeouts against five walks over the course of 37 2/3 innings, registered one win against Toronto during his rookie campaign.
As for the home team, R.A. Dickey tries to halt a two-game slide with his confounding knuckleball.
The right-hander, who began his career in the American League with the Texas Rangers in 2001 and turned himself into the 2012 Cy Young Award winner in the NL with the Mets before heading to Canada, last pitched on Sunday versus the Yankees in New York where he was tagged for three runs on four hits -- two home runs -- over the course of seven innings, his longest outing of the campaign thus far.
Dickey has a career record of 3-1 with a 4.43 in nine all-time appearances against Seattle.
The Mariners posted a 6-3 series advantage last season against Toronto, although the teams did split the six meetings played at Rogers Centre.

Press Room
Attorneys General Partner In Efforts To Prevent Medicine Abuse
Washington, DC---The National Association of Attorneys General (NAAG) is a partner in two national efforts this month to curb medicine abuse. The first is "The Medicine Abuse Project," a national media and social engagement campaign launching Sept. 23 – 29 to raise awareness of the medicine abuse problem. The second is a national Prescription Drug "Take-back" Day, Sept. 29 to collect expired, unused and unwanted prescription drugs.
One in six teens is taking medicine to get high or change their mood, and the majority of them get it from family and friends, according to The Medicine Abuse Project, www.medicineabuseproject.org. The consequences of medicine abuse include increases in emergency room care and overdose deaths.
"Prescription drugs sitting around the house open the door to misuse and abuse," said NAAG President and Maryland Attorney General Douglas F. Gansler. "Sadly, more young people are turning to easily accessible medicines to get high or for other reasons, leading to more emergency situations and tragically avoidable deaths. We need to continue to promote the danger of using drugs and how to safely dispose of unused prescription drugs so they don't become household hazards to our kids."
Many Americans do not know how to properly dispose of their unused medicine, often flushing them down the toilet or throwing them away – both potential safety and health hazards. NAAG has been a partner of the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration's "Take-back" days since its 2010 inception. Attorneys General around the country will be promoting state drop-off sites on Sept. 29, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Collection sites can be found by going to www.dea.gov and clicking on the "Got Drugs?" banner at the top of the home page, which connects to a database citizens can search by zip code.

Track Name: The Kind of Thing That Gets Passed Down
Must have been half the town lined along the creek
Preacher dunked the baby and Momma kissed her cheek
Christened her one of us, the strong and the proud
That's the kind of thing that gets passed down
Neighbors hung and shook their heads as little Janie grew
She'd kick back by the barrel with the boys drinking booze
Momma warned "That bottle put your daddy in the ground"
And that's the kind of thing that gets passed down
And don't she have Daddy's eyes?
Dark shiny opals full of pride
Does her best by God to stay clean
But don't she got the trouble gene
Mama kept the doors locked and kept the gun unpinned
But damn if that boy didn't sneak and find a way in
Nine months later Janie borrowed Grandma's Christening gown
That's the kind of thing that gets passed down
Must have been half the town lined along the creek
Preacher dunked the baby and Momma kissed his cheek
Track Name: 40 Crosses
Bend in the wind hide in the night like a
Tribesman use the dead to win the fight
You're just as bad as you'll ever be good you know that's
When I knew it was time to set it right
Despair, lonesomeness, don't know why maybe
Head back home to give it yet another try
Air's clean, well never runs dry, and no one talk about anything inside
Too little mornings, too many nights
Uneasy feeling never seem to ever be enough time
Cloudy mind, roadie eyes
Snagged me with a Hundred pound test line
Forty crosses on the side of the road from the
Mountains all the way down to the Carolina coast
Broken heart and a busted hand you know that's
When I knew I needed you to go away
Gotta novel's worth of notes, a bound book of quotes that I'm
Takin to the well to sink it way down below
I thought about and remembered your taste now I've
Forgotten again why Im headin back to this place
Hide in the night bend in the wind
Like the natives, use my kindness to defend
Just as good as you'll ever be bad you know that's
When I knew its time to take back what we had
Understanding's nothin I've seen in you with your
Wicked ways and your keener sense of cruel
Caring nature's unnatural too well I
Can't explain it - maybe I love you
Track Name: Get Well Soon
It aint enough that lately as a man I'm feelin low
Now I find that trouble's been the guide
Tracks could tell me something but they're fillin up with snow
Oh, you're here no more
There was a day long ago
I tied your heart to a chain
And I walked away
I made a bet one summer day I knew in time I'd lose
It's the kind you only make because you wanna believe it's true
Now I'm hard up, I'm in a hole, it's all because of you
Goddamn I should have known it too
That anytime a penitent
Has the mind to take a step
Aw they will
[la la la la]
Maybe she's just manic
Or the coffee makes her panic
But the words that pass between her lips
Are underlined and asterisked
She slashed her wrists
For faster bliss
All she got were bandages
And I signed em get well soon
[la la la la]
Track Name: Blue Side of the Road
I'm walking on the blue side of the road
Ever since my one sweetheart did decide to go alone
She left me dangling, but she was angling for another man
So she left me here, on the blue, side of the road
I'm walking on the blue side of the road
If my feet will ever take me across the street again
We could meet again, or i can find another friend
Just as sweet as sin, we'll never be again on the blue side of the road
But until i find a reason, some bright beacon
That we can both agree would bring us out of the dark
i'll just keep on beatin this here path without ever reaching anywhere
I'm walking on the blue side of the road
Ttil the mile marker count down no more miles left to go
Then with nothin left, i can double back, down the road again
I'll keep continuing on the blue side of the road
I'm walkin on the blue side of the road
Where all the broken hearted stumblers out loud wonder where their women went,
Where they hiding them? aw the answer is anybody's guess
But they won't be on the blue side of the road

I purchased this for my 18.5 year old son as a high school graduation gift. He had really wanted a cross for some time. It took me a while to figure out what size I wanted the cross to be, the length of the chain etc. I definitely struck "paydirt" on this item. Not only was the price terrific, but my son absolutely loves it! The only thing he inquired about was getting a longer chain; however, he has since retracted that remark as he realized that a longer chain might just be a bit uncomfortable. The item is very masculine without being "over the top" for a young man. I would recommend this item to anyone. Some of the reviews called the chain "cheap or easily tangled" but we have not had an issue at all...in fact, my son just pulls it on over his head without even opening the clasp!
I bought this necklace to replace my fiance's gold cross necklace that was outdated. He had a large gold chain and looked like Mr.T or someone from the Godfather. He now has an updated cross necklace he is proud to wear and still looks manly! Thanks O!
I purchased this for my husband's birthday and he said it was exactly what he had hoped for. The chain is strong without being too heavy and the size of the cross is perfect..
I purchased one for my son and myself and was pleasantly surprised when it arrived. Arrived in a nice case, good solid product, great price. I do not recommend many products but this one merits a high recommendation.
I bought a man's cross on a chain for my grandson when he went to Iraq and he elected not to wear it, saying he was confused about religion and still "sorting a lot of things out." He gave the cross to his wife. Last Christmas, having survived two years in Irag and a lot of therapy for PTSS, I bought him this cross and he liked it. He put it around his neck and said, "I can wear this now. I'm going to wear this all the time." I was so pleased.
Got this as a gift for my Hubs. He was thrilled. We spent a lot of time shopping online before we found this one. He's very pleased with it and the size is just right. Great quality and great price.
My son absolutely loves this necklace.He wears it all the time.
Complete waste of money. Broke right away. It also is made of junky material.
I ordered this necklace for my husband's 40th birthday. He wanted a simple cross he could wear every day. He loved it! The value of it is very good and it's nice and sturdy. Thank you!!
Necklace is very nice and my friend loved it. Recommend this to all ladies or a man.

Thieves steal parts of Asheville Halloween display
POSTED: 8:23 AM Oct 31 2013 UPDATED: 5:28 PM Oct 31 2013
Thieves have played a trick on an Asheville woman, stealing parts of her massive display of Halloween decorations.
Paula Beatty spends weeks each year putting up unique decorations outside her home. She says she woke up Tuesday morning to find that more than two dozen items were missing.
That includes several life-size skeletons, pumpkins and other large decorations.
Beatty filed a report with police. But she says that having the items returned so that neighborhood children can enjoy them is more important to her than anyone going to jail over it.

In 2003, my Atlantic colleague James Fallows performed a huge public service. He painstakingly reviewed the evidence and concluded that perhaps the single most iconic anti-Israel image did not in fact document an Israeli action at all. Muhamed al-Dura was, we were told, the name of a 12-year-old Palestinian boy shot dead by Israeli soldiers, as he crouched against a concrete wall beside his helpless father.
This image still defines the conflict for millions in the Muslim world. It was cited by Osama bin Laden as justification for his crimes. However, and having examined the evidence, Fallows concluded:
It now appears that the boy cannot have died in the way reported by most of the world's media and fervently believed throughout the Islamic world. Whatever happened to him, he was not shot by the Israeli soldiers who were known to be involved in the day's fighting—or so I am convinced, after spending a week in Israel talking with those examining the case.
The man who did most to bring the al-Dura image to the world, Charles Enderlin, is one of France's most esteemed journalists, a chevalier of the Legion of Honor. Many of his critics lacked media credentials and media experience. Yet in the end, as Fallows concluded, they were right and Enderlin was wrong.
Yesterday, Fallows posted a piece on the dustup over my tweets about images from Gaza. He had some critical things to say about me, and I agree they were deserved. Normally I count to 10 before posting on Twitter, but on this occasion I was over-impulsive and reacted too fast, too angrily, and too emphatically, in the process making accusations for which I had no sufficient basis. I take that mistake seriously, and I've apologized for it.
But there's a danger of veering to the opposite extreme. That extreme is to lose sight of the long experience that Israel's enemies manipulate imagery as a strategic tool against the Jewish state. Here's Fallows again, from that most recent post:
We all dislike something about the press, so we take for granted rather than glorify the fact that these are people taking real risks for usually minimal pay. And glorification would be beside the point. From my time in even faintly similar circumstances (during the anti-government riots in South Korea, with a rebel group in Mindanao, in Burma during the 1988 upheavals) I know that people do this for adrenaline and camaraderie and a host of normal, non-glorious reasons.
But respect is called for. For all their blind spots and flaws, reporters on the scene are trying to see, so they can tell, and the photographic and video reporters take greater risks than all the rest, since they must be closer to the action.
I agree that we should respect journalists who incur danger to show the world what they have seen. I stressed that point in my post of apology. My late father-in-law was a foreign correspondent who covered wars from Algeria to Vietnam. My own passport carries stamps from Afghanistan, Iraq, Lebanon, Nicaragua, Ukraine, and Venezuela, and of course Israel too. I know something of the risks that journalists run.
But I also know—and of course Jim Fallows also knows—that even as we respect the risks journalists incur, we also need to exercise critical judgment about the stories they tell and the images they show. This is especially true in the Middle East, where management of images has become a strategic tool. Just yesterday The New York Times gave the following statement to the Jewish Telegraphic Agency to explain why the American paper has published so few images of Hamas fighters engaged in combat operations:
Our photo editor went through all of our pictures recently and out of many hundreds, she found 2 very distant poor quality images that were captioned Hamas fighters by our photographer on the ground. It is very difficult to identify Hamas because they don't have uniforms or any visible insignia; our photographer hasn't even seen anyone carrying a gun.
I would add that we would not withhold photos of Hamas militants. We eagerly pursue photographs from both sides of the conflict, but we are limited by what our photographers have access to.
Those "limits" are very deliberately imposed by Hamas itself:
Palestinian journalist Radjaa Abou Dagga, for example, wrote an article for French newspaper Libération, published July 23, detailing how Hamas intimidated him, forcing him to leave Gaza, and how Hamas terrorists use a section of Shifa hospital, just a few meters from the emergency room, as their offices ….
The next day, Mr. Dagga asked Libération to remove his article from their website, apparently out of fear for his family still in Gaza.
You can see the Libération notice of the article's removal here. (Translated from French the notice reads, "This article, which described the attempted intimidation of the Palestinian journalist Radjaa Abu Dagga, a correspondent for Ouest France formerly with Libération, was unpublished at his request.")
I've dispensed criticism in the past for the mistakes of others—for example, when one of Vox's writers on the Middle East understated by more than half the number of Israeli lives lost to terrorism since 2000. I expect and accept criticism in my turn when I err. So no complaints on that front.
But I do complain of this: Some of the writers criticizing me have taken the next follow-on step to try to retrospectively authenticate questionable photographs from the 2006 Lebanon war.

My Dear Yadavendra Prabhu,
Please accept my obeisances. All Glories to Srila Prabhupada.
Thank you for your concern that His Divine Grace, Srila Prabhupada is always remaining in the most prominent position possible. As I recall this matter was discussed at the annual GBC meeting and I hope that the feedback was given to you. Those who have chosen not to offer to Srila Prabhupada´s Murti on the Vyasasana argue that the articles in question are first offered to Srila Prabhupada on the altar and then the Pujari offers to Srila Prabhupada´s Murti, thus honoring him as the foremost Vaishnava. Although here in Paraguay we also offer all articles to Srila Prabhupada´s Murti, in order to develope a more personal consciousness that he is present there, I can also comprehend the reasons why those Temples have chosen not to, in deference to his being offered first by the Pujari. That is basically why your proposal was not accepted. If you were not informed about the reasons for this, then that is another oversight which certainly should be corrected.
Hoping this meets you well,
Hari Bol!
Your servant,
Jagajivana dasa
Failing to offer all articles first to Srila Prabhupada on the temple Vyasasana
By Yadavendra das (ACBSP)
The author of this article has noticed that there sometimes arises a doubt about the propriety of offering all articles such as ghee lamp, water, flowers and perfume first and directly to Srila Prabhupada seated on the temple room Vyasasana. This article aims to help eradicate such doubts in the mind of the reader. It was originally written as a proposal to the 2006 Mayapur AGM.
Among other explanations, Collins English dictionary 4th Australian Edition page 1344 gives for "rude" the following. 1) insulting or uncivil; discourteous; impolite 2) lacking refinement, coarse or uncouth 3) vulgar or obscene etc etc…
and for "presumption": …2) bold or insolent behavior or manners
"Presume" is given as 1) to take (something) for granted. 2) to take upon oneself (to do something) without warrant or permission; dare
The Pancaratra Pradipa compiled by the GBC Deity Worship Research Group and published by Iskcon GBC Press in 1994 states on page 192, triple asterisk:
"In Iskcon temples the lamp is brought first to Srila Prabhupada, the Founder-Acarya of Iskcon, as he is the Vaishnava-srestha, the leader of the assembled Vaishnavas. After being help briefly for Srila Prabhupada to touch the fire (it should not be waved in circles, as in the arati), the lamp should be taken among the assembled Vaishnavas, in order of seniority. (Women who are having their monthly cycle should not touch the lamp). The person offering the prasada lamp for touching should be sensitive to the seniority of the assembled devotees; the assembled devotees, however, should not be overly sensitive if missed when the lamp is offered. The lamp is not meant to show respect or honor to us, but rather we are meant to offer respect to the lamp as the Lord's prasada by touching the fire to our foreheads with both hands."
Because Pancaratra Pradipa is compiled by the GBC Deity Worship Research Group and because it is published by ISKCON GBC PRESS, we shall assume in our discussion that the content of the book is fully endorsed by the Governing Body Commission of Iskcon.
It is regrettable however, that considering its importance and relevance, this particular matter is given as a footnote only and is not given more exposure in the book. However the basic and bona fide direction is given here. We note also that in the Veda base 2003.1, the matter is even more hidden as one will have to click on the asterisk and then the text will appear as a temporary "pop up".
At least in some Iskcon temples the offensive procedure is institutionalized: That is to say that after leaving the altar all articles are offered directly to the second most senior Vaishnava in the temple room, thus effectively ignoring the presence of the senior most Vaishnava, His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada, the Founder-Acarya of Iskcon, seated on the temple room Vyasasana. By accepting the article, the second most senior Vaishnava, wittingly or unwittingly, thus usurps the position of the most senior Vaishnava, creating thus an intolerable situation due to the pre-eminent position of the Founder-Acarya. We should note in this respect that it is not because offensiveness to the Founder-Acarya of Iskcon is institutionalized that it looses its devotionally counterproductive nature. On the contrary, the negative reactions incurred thereby are increased exponentially because of the pre-eminent role Iskcon is expected to play in the spiritual welfare of this planet and consequently the increasing number of people who are thus being misled and thereby suffer the contrary reactions. This reasoning will apply, indeed to any other type of Iskcon misleading now or in the future. I therefore propose herewith to institutionalize the offenceless way, as enjoined in the Pancaratra Pradipa, for all Iskcon temples throughout the world. For the more progressive temples this resolution will entail no changes at all. The others will simply be asked to make appropriate changes and thus catch up.
We beg to remind those who argue that their temple circumstances are not really suited for this ritual that our kind and staunch Srila Prabhupada underwent extreme difficulties, such as the fury of the ocean, the several heart attacks, the lack of support etc etc…, all at the grand age of seventy years, in crossing the oceans on the Jaladuta steamer just for the purpose to come and save us from the ocean of material existence. We shall therefore humbly request them, to please, in this instance also, show gratitude – the main theme of the 2005 international Vyasa Puja book, according to His Grace Dravida Prabhu – and to not hesitate to ply or cause to ply through an ocean of devotees in order to first and directly present the articles to our Founder-Acarya, Srila Prabhupada, seated on the temple Vyasasana. In the process, it will also be appropriate for the article carrier to offer obeisances at least once in front of His Divine Grace.
If we were to ask members of the offensive party the following question: "Would you agree to first offer the articles to Srila Prabhupada if He were physically and personally sitting on the Vyasasana?" We can imagine that the response would be something like: "O yes, of course, if Srila Prabhupada were actually seated on the Vyasasana, if He were actually present among us how could we neglect Him?"
Therefore we have no alternative but to charge that those who advocate, as well as those who tolerate the offensive way, do not fully realize or accept the oneness of the person Srila Prabhupada and His murti representation. In other words, their vision is materially tinged, which after all is not such an amazing thing. But we must also see that we progress at a steady pace on the path of devotional service. In the material world a picture or statue of a person is different from the person represented. In the spiritual realm the opposite is true. The picture, the statue and the person are all one and are invested with the same spiritual potencies.
It may also be said that this type of offensive behaviour is still a surviving relic of the same immature and thought-wanting mentality of the early Iskcon Guru days, when it was considered by some that by simple imitation of the superficial aspects of the behaviour of the Founder-Acarya an equal Guru status would automatically be achieved.
In conclusion, please let me quote SB 11.17.27:
äcäryam mäm vijäniyän
navamanyeta karhicit
na martya-buddhyäsüyeta
sarva-deva-mayo guruh
One should know the Acärya as Myself and never disrespect him in any way. One should not envy him, thinking him an ordinary man, for he is the representative of all the demigods.
Jaya om Vishnupada Paramahamsa Parivrajakacaraya astottara-sata Sri Srimad A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Srila Prabhupada ki jaya!!!
Begging to remain yours in divine service,

My Dear Yadavendra Prabhu,

When Srila Prabhupada was phyically present with us, the pujaris would offer to his picture on the altar, then offer to the deities, then turn and offer to him on the vyasasana then the assembled devotees, then after the pujari offered the lamp to the assembled devotees it would again be taken to Srila Prabhupada to touch and then for the assembled devotees to touch.
Why is everyone so concerned with offering to Srila Prabhupada first after the lamp comes off the altar and yet not concerned with the lamp being offered to his disciples in front of him on that altar? Or that the pujari offers it to to him and then the assembled devotees and then it is offered again to him?
Also how is a grand-disciple to do Srila Prabhupada's gurupuja? Does he offer to his guru first like he does on the altar? Where is the little picture placed in this case?
What about offering to gurus in Tulasi arati, this was never done during Prabhupada's time, how should it be done today?
It would seem that there is a lot of confusion about the system of offering.

Although it may be an actual fact that Prabhupada is actually sitting on the Vyasana, the article was just offered to him on the altar. How can he take his own prasada. This has always struck me as curious.
The question I ask you, is that if Prabhupada was personally present, if after offering him artika, would you offer the article to him to take prasada/

Hare Krishna! As young pujari in our temple I am confused by the logic things are offered to different personalities. I beg the assembled Vaishnavas to please shower their mercy and wisdom on me.
In our temple we have small murti of Srila Prabhupada on the altar.
When we follow the procedure of offering all the maha-items to Srila Prabhupada on the vyasasan, we are perhaps (as far as my knowledge on Pancaratrika rules goes) commiting following "mistakes"
1. Offering item already offered (to Srila Prabhupada on the altar and then on the vyasasan). According to Pancaratrika rules, there is no need for that.
2. Offering to Srila Prabhupada item offered to our respective Guru through picture before that. No Guru will accept the offering which is then going to be offered to Srila Prabhupada!
3. Offering item to the assembled Vaisnavas by pujari in circles and THEN bringing it to Param Guru on the vyasasan! No Vaisnava would accept something which is going to be offered after that to his Param Guru or Guru! So what is the point of offering it to the Vaisnavas?
Under 1: I could personaly live with that but I would under 2:
– offer the item to small murti, offer the item to big murti of Prabhupada and THEN back to the picture of Guru on the altar and to the Vaisnavas. But the item doesn't go PHYSICALY to murti of Srila Prabhupada!
Under 3: with that I realy have a problem, because we don't do it in Guru puja for example (circle a flower around assembled Vaisnavas and then stuck it into the hands of Srila Prabhupada is concidered as far as I know improper). Either we offer it to Prabhupada and then stuck it in his hands without offering it to the Vaisnavas or we offer it to the Vaisnavas but then we do not stuck it in Prabhupada's hands. The same goes for Tulasi puja.
My question: are we doing things based on very nice sentiment (but still a sentiment) or are we having sastric background?
Because when Prabhupada was on the planet, there was no other Gurus and he was sitting on the Vyasasan, so everything was very easy and clear.
But now pujaris are offering items first to Prabhupada and Gurus on the altar, then to Prabhupada on the Vyasasan (which is already not correct as far as I understand it if already offered and accepted by Gurus), then to assembled Vaisnavas and lastly it is brought physicaly again to Prabhupada on the vyasasan (which is, if first not correct, even more incorrect).
So in my humble opinion we should:
1. Offer items to small murti on the altar, offer to big murti of Prabhupada on the vyasasan and THEN to Guru's picture on the altar.
2. Not offer it by pujaris to the assembled Vaisnavas in circles but bring it first physicaly to Prabhupada on vyasasan and then take it to senior devotees.
3. Or offer all items to Prabhupada's murti on the altar and only Guru puja to big murti of Srila Prabhupada.
Please shad some light on this!
Srila Prabhupada ki jay!
Your humble servant

Hare Krishna. Based on the above comments, I wonder if I have the wrong conception of how the offering process works. I am thinking specifically of the process of worship at home.
As I understand it (I'm not brahmana initiated, and not advanced in this category of education), when I offer an item of bhoga to Srila Prabhupada, I am not asking him to personally accept it for his tasting, but to take it and offer it up the chain of disciplic succession to Sri Krishna. Therefore after Krishna has accepted it, it is proper to offer the prasad to him to taste before accepting it myself.
Is that incorrect?
Hare Krishna.

Dear Jagajivan Prabhu,
Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada, the Founder-Acarya of Iskcon and Institutor of the BBT! Thank you very much for taking the trouble to respond to my article "About the Rudness and Presumption of failing to Offer all Articles first to Srila Prabhupada on the Temple Vyasasana." Please accept my humble congratulations for following proper procedure of worship! If in your temple / zone, everything else is also up to the same high standard, then you should definitely feel a thicker, more concentrated quality of Srila Prabhupada mercy flowing your way.
The only feedback that was given to me by one of our two GBC co-representatives is that the GBC deputies blocked my proposal from further advancement beyond their preliminary selection. What that exactly means I do not know because I have never had the privilege to attend a GBC meeting, being an ordinary servant of the Krishna cause only. My subjective conception is that perhaps the GBC deputies select beforehand the proposals that are going to make it to the GBC arena for discussion and vote. This is my conception. Please correct me if I am wrong. Neither do I know exactly what your personal service is. I cannot find your name on the list of GBC members zonal assignments for 2006.
All things considered, if Srila Prabhupada is not offered the articles on the temple Vyasasana first, He is definitely not treated fairly. Article 18 of the 64 regulative principles of devotional service says:" One should not tolerate disrespect of the Supreme Lord or His devotees" I substitute the noun disrespect to blasphemy because it will fit our situation more adequately and because disrespect is nothing but a milder form of blasphemy. The 64 regulative principles of devotional service are very nicely enumerated by Srila Prabhupada Himself in Narada Bhakti Sutra, purport to Sutra 12
In the case of the ghee lamp for example, offering by effecting circles is very much different from accepting the lamp prasadam. I do not know whether everyone considers this point. It seems to me that these two operations are often equated or mixed up, whilst they are totally different operations. For the article to become prasadam it has to be offered first. So one operation is the offering of the article, which is signified by effecting circles and the other is the acceptance of the prasadam, which is the gesture of the right hand touching the flame first and then touching one's (fore) head. And if the altar pujari is offering the lamp to Srila Prabhupada on the temple Vyasasana by effecting circles then how can it be accepted as offering the lamp prasadam? This statement is simply a source of confusion. I believe the pujari offers the lamp to the assembled devotees in an exactly similar fashion. Still the lamp prasadam is offered to each devotee individually. Why then can't it be offered to Srila Prabhupada on the temple Vyasasana first to signify His position as the Vaishnava shrestha and Founder-Acarya of Iskcon? It must be!
And even if Srila Prabhupada is offered the lamp prasadam on the altar, which is simply an expedient procedure, he should still be offered the prasadam again first on the temple Vyasasana, just to signify His pre-eminent position very PUBLICLY. Whatever else the functions of the Srila Prabhupada presence on the Vyasasana may be, this is certainly one of them! Please note the second definition of the adjective "expedient" in my Collins dictionary: "inclined toward methods or means that are advantageous rather than fair and just"
By Krishna's kind arrangement, I was recently made to check the word "homage" in the Collins dictionary. It gives: 1 a PUBLIC show of respect or honour toward someone or something. The key word here is PUBLIC. What's public about offering the lamp and other articles' prasadam on the altar? Not public at all! Who in the temple room perceives the significance of the pujari's varieties of gestures on the altar very explicitly?
But to walk up to Srila Prabhupada on the Vyasasana is PUBLIC showing to everyone present in the temple room Who is the most senior Vaishnava in the assembly! It is PUBLIC showing to everyone present in the temple room Who is the person Whom we respect and adore the most! It is PUBLIC AND EXPLICIT showing to everyone present who is the Founder-Acarya of the International Society for Krishna Consciousness! We got to show it PUBLICLY to every one present!!! We got to!!! Sri Krishna in that very same mood says in BG 9.31 "O son of Kunti, declare it BOLDLY that My devotee never perishes." Let us not minimize Srila Prabhupada's greatness as the Law Giver of martya loka for the next ten thousand years! Let us not foolishly hush things up! And when we walk up to Srila Prabhupada on the temple Vyasasana with any of the articles we should also pay our obeisances to Him at least once because it is proper etiquette to pay obeisances whenever we deal with Guru directly. This is what we were taught in the old days.
What is it that has changed?
All glories to Srila Prabhupada on the 110th anniversary of His Divine Appearance in just three days!!!
Additionally, we may also ask that if the procedure is recommended in Pancaratra Pradipa and that if the Pancaratra Pradipa is endorsed by the GBC then how is it that some have got the impudence, audacity and discourteousness to disregard the recommendation of the GBC? Or is it that the GBC's injunctions are not to be taken seriously as a general rule? Or is it that the minds of the authors were not very good at the time of composition and / or that the instruction has now become obsolete. What is it?
Prabhu, I have checked the map. I found that Paraguay is almost in the very middle of South America. Email communication is such wonderful thing, a form of telepathy, certainly another mystic perfectional process achieved by modern scientific procedures!
All glories to Srila Prabhupada's world wide family of devotees!
Hope this finds you in blissful Krishna Consciousness and beg to remain
Yours in the service of the Supreme,

Gaura Keshava Prabhu,
We are concerned about Srila Prabhupada first because He is the Founder-Acarya of Iskcon and that means that everything in Iskcon rests on His energy.
Deenabandhua prabhu, we are doing this every day,. Everyday, during Guru puja we are offering aratik to Srila Prabhupada personally present on the Vyasasana and we certainly don't offer the prasadam back to Him, although we find that some newcomer may sometimes attempt to do just that by mistake. However the difference is that the predominating Deity on the Vyasasana is Srila Prabhupada Himself and the predominating Deities on the altar are Lord Krishna and His various Vishnu tattva expansions. Srila Prabhupada will never decline to accept the article prasadam coming from the altar.

Everything depends on the strength of the recipient. For example, due to the scorching sunshine many vegetables and flowers dry up, and many grow luxuriantly. Thus it is the recipient that causes growth and dwindling. Similarly, mahiyasäm päda-rajo-'bhisekam: the dust of the lotus feet of great personalities offers all good to the recipient, but the same dust can also do harm. Those who are offenders at the lotus feet of a great personality dry up; their godly qualities diminish. A great soul may forgive offenses, but Krishna does not excuse offenses to the dust of that great soul's feet, just as one can tolerate the scorching sunshine on one's head but cannot tolerate the scorching sunshine on one's feet. An offender glides down more and more; therefore he naturally continues to commit offenses at the feet of the great soul. Offenses are generally committed by persons who falsely identify with the impermanent body. King Daksa was deeply engrossed in a misconception because he identified the body with the soul. He offended the lotus feet of Lord Siva because he thought that his body, being the father of the body of Sati, was superior to Lord Siva's. Generally, less intelligent men misidentify in that way, and they act in the bodily concept of life. Thus they are subject to commit more and more offenses at the lotus feet of great souls. One who has such a concept of life is considered to be in the class of animals like cows and asses.

That's a fancy-pants way of reconsidering my thinking on reaching financial independence.
The way I have been thinking about it in the past is to acquire a large lump sum of financial wealth as principal and to be able to subsequently fund future projects.
An alternative path towards financial independence is via a continual revenue stream, if a project can reliably guarantee returns that can cover expenses.
When this gets interestingly is when these alternatives are laid out as two choices in a more than theoretical fashion.

CPI Corp. Stock To Trade on OTCQX Starting February 9, 2012
PR Newswire
ST. LOUIS, Feb. 3, 2012
ST. LOUIS, Feb. 3, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- CPI Corp. (NYSE: CPY) today announced that its common stock will begin trading on the OTCQX marketplace, effective February 9, 2012. OTCQX® is the highest tier of the OTC market, available exclusively for companies that meet high financial standards and undergo a qualitative review. The Company will announce its new trading symbol on February 8, 2012.
The Company plans to continue to file periodic and other reports with the Securities and Exchange Commission under applicable federal securities laws and continue its commitment to transparency and the highest standards of governance. The transition of the Company's stock to the OTCQX will have no effect on the ownership of the Company's stock. CPI Corp.'s shareholders remain owners of the common stock and are expected to be able to trade the stock on the OTCQX marketplace as of February 9, 2012.
The transition to the OTCQX marketplace comes after the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) announced that trading of the common stock of CPI Corp. will be suspended prior to the market opening on February 9, 2012 because the Company fell below an average market capitalization of $15 million over a consecutive 30-trading-day period, a minimum threshold for continued NYSE listing.

The full Cincinnati Council has formally approved the 2013 city budget.
Most of the votes were 6-3…with Qualls, Young, Quinlivan, Seelbach, Simpson and Thomas voting yes and Sittenfeld, Smitherman and Winburn voting no.
Council didn't vote Friday to approve leasing the operation of some city parking facilities to a private company.
Miami University is naming David Sayler as its new Director of Athletics. Sayler comes from the University of South Dakota where he was in charge of intercollegiate athletics for two-and-a-half years.
Sayler replaces Brad Bates who left in October to take the athletic director position at Boston College.
Hamilton County Recorder Wayne Coates reversed his decision to close his office on Fridays due to budget cuts after more money was made available to his office Thursday.
Coates' office put out a statement late Thursday afternoon saying that Coates and Hamilton County commission president Greg Hartmann "reviewed updated recorder revenue projections for 2013 and concluded that more resources should be made available" to allow the office to stay open on Fridays.
Coates said in the statement that his earlier decision to reduce his 21-member staff by three will stand, though.
A new study finds a large unmet housing need for the elderly and disabled in Hamilton County.
The report was commissioned by the Cincinnati Metropolitan Housing Authority (CMHA). It looks at the county's housing stock, structural integrity, neighborhood demographics and community amenities.
The full Cincinnati Council will vote Friday on the nearly 20 documents needed to adopt the city's 2013 budget. The Budget and Finance Committee Thursday approved the framework for the spending plan. It takes the city manager's recommended budget and makes some ten changes to it.

One thing to remember about the BWCA is that if you have to come out to resupply you have to get a new permit.
You could traverse the Winds north to south and by adding side trips and fishing you could spend your whole vacation there easily esp if you spend time off trail.

Sponsored Deals
They're like ads, but good.
OK, yes, companies pay a little something to be Sponsored Deals. But we don't allow just any old crap in this section. Sponsored Deals are proposed to us by other retailers, manufacturers, and even other daily deal sites. If we find the deal compelling enough that our members will appreciate us bringing it to their attention, we'll feature it here. Believe it or not, we have a reputation to uphold. If your store would like to be considered for this space, please contact us for details. But if your deal is lame, or sketchy, no amount of money will let you buy your way in.
Community Deals
It's whatever you want it to be.
Pretty much, anyway. This is where you find the deals that wooters like you have ferreted out and brought to light. We're thinking it'll turn into a massive database of discounted products from around the Web, constantly expanding to absorb the newest deals from the very moment their prices are slashed, with each deal immediately rated by hordes of savvy voters to spotlight the very greatest deals in the world today. Hey, we can dream, right?
We use a fancy algorithm to determine which deals are catching the most buzz – they're under the Popular tab, which is the default view of this section. You can look for the most popular deals today, this week, or this month. The Fresh tab features the most recently submitted deals, so that's where to look for deals that everybody else doesn't know about yet. And the Search bar does what a Search bar does, only, uh, much wootier! Yeah! Right on!
Ask The Community
They probably won't bite.
Organic bullets? Vegetarian haggis? Cheap tickets to Antarctica? The best high-performance sweatsocks for under $100? If you're looking for a deal that doesn't appear to show up in our Community Deals section, throw the question to your fellow cheapskates. Or answer a question for one of your fellow cheapskates. Or vote for your favorite questions, or your favorite answers, or… maybe we should call this section "Ask, Answer, Comment On, And Vote In The Community", but that won't fit on the page.

The mobile industry is a very competitive, complicated, fast changing world. The name of the game, though, is simple: get your product out there, get people using it, and do it fast. Quantcast, a company that specializes in the world of internet usage trends, recently released some information showing how well the players in the mobile OS and software game are doing. The information is intriguing, to say the least.
We received an email from David Keyes at KeyesLabs today, with a detailed analysis of piracy in various countries. For those that don't know, David is the author of the battery saving app Screebl, and the open source licensing library AAL. A true pioneer in Android app copy protection.
According to David's data, the often used excuse of "Paid apps are not available in my country" is at least partly bogus.

Wilmington earns split in OAC opener
Quakers go 1-1 at Marietta
March 25, 2012
Brooke Byrne drove in three runs in Wilmington's 7-4 win over Marietta.
MARIETTA — Wilmington College opened the Ohio Athletic Conference softball season with a series split at Marietta College Sunday afternoon.
The Quakers were 7-4 winners in the opener and Marietta held on for a 4-3 win in game two.
Wilmington is now 1-1 in the OAC, 9-11 overall. Marietta is 2-2 in the conference, 8-6 for the season.
"Our team came out ready to play. They were excited to open the conference up today, and they really stepped up and played great all-around softball," Wilmington head coach Beth Floyd said.
The Quakers took a 1-0 lead in the opener when Catlin Shilling (Waverly) homered in the third.
Wilmington played add-on in the fourth by plating four runs on five hits. Chelsea Morrow (South Vienna/Northeastern) and Stacy Lunsford (Wilmington/Clinton-Massie) had run-scoring hits that bookended a two-run double from Brooke Byrne (Wilmington).
The 5-0 lead stood until Marietta scored three times in the fifth. The Pioneers got another run in the sixth inning to pull within a run.
Shilling took the circle in relief of Danielle Monnier (Houston) and retired three straight to keep Wilmington's lead intact.
The Quakers scored two times in the seventh. Morrow chased home a run with a single, and a bases-loaded walk to Byrne made it a 7-4 game.
"We talked to the team about getting some insurance runs. Erika Lee got on and we moved people over and got a key hit. Chelsea had a big day for us today. She did everything we asked of her in the field and at the plate," Floyd said.
Shilling put the Pioneers down in order in the seventh to earn her second save of the season and move Monnier's record to 5-5.
"Catlin pitched outstanding today. She is a strong, confident individual. She stepped into a tight situation and really pitched well," Floyd said.
Kelsey Becker (Clarksville, Ind.) went 4-for-4 to lead Wilmington's 12-hit attack. Morrow and Allie Holstein (Ashville/Teays Valley) had two hits apiece.
In game two, the Pioneer took a 3-0 lead into the fourth inning, but Kaylee Cox (Prospect/Elgin) led off the inning with a home run to left to cut the deficit to 3-1.
Marietta got that run back in the home fourth, but Cox struck again in the Wilmington fifth. Wilmington loaded the bases on singles by Morrow and Lunsford while Byrne reached on a Marietta error. Cox delivered a two-run single to left and the Quakers were within a run at 4-3.
Wilmington put runners on second and third with one out in the sixth inning, but Marietta wriggled out of the jam and went on to take the win.
"We played hard and battled back the whole game," Floyd said. "They never gave up. It was a great game that came right down to the end. Kaylee Cox really came up huge for us at the plate.
Cox and Lunsford combined for four of Wilmington's nine hits.
