Easy choice if I could have a 6 speed manual with the 2.0t and AWD.
I have had all types FWD, AWD, 4WD and RWD. Where I live in Northern Minnesota, it is not necessary but VERY nice to have. Especially with dedicated winter tires, because you still need to turn and stop. Now if I lived further south, I don't think I would pay the price. I find it hard to believe that people think AWD is necessary for traction in the rain!
LMAO at all you tards that think snow tires and AWD will get you out of that mess. Sure I have owned a Subaru (Legacy GT wagon) and will likely go back shortly (pre-2010...the newer ones are just too ugly), but when conditions get ugly, it doesn't matter what car you have, you the driver make up 90% of the ability to get through or not!
If you own a BMW or 300 or Audi and even you WRX/STi.....STAY HOME! Your AWD is not good enough to justify your antics on the road. You will fail, you are a failure, and I do report all jack-asses (and have video running 100% of the time) to both insurance and police. Sick of seeing over priced cars flipped upside down in the shoulders, or just off the highway in the woods. See one thing all those cars fail at...GROUND CLEARANCE. When the snow mounts up, you can't handle it. Another fact....braking is key in a big way in snow, ice and rain. AWD doesn't help you there, and most everything is ABS equipped thses days.
So will $2000 option for AWD be good...well yeah...cause in generic terms of just mild wet weather it is better. For the daily driving it is great. But for the big stuff, I will stick with the purpose built Jeep Cherokee with lift and various CYA gear. A winch being a purchase before the next winter....cause AWD isn't everything.
Final thought; all AWD is NOT created equal. For chasing purposes, Subaru still presents the best option outside of a Raptor. But those Rav4 and Ford Escapes just fail when worse comes to worse. While I love my Jeep it does fail on two important aspects for "all-weather chasing". It is great in deep snow and Hurricane storm surge and debris crossing. However it has a small tank 17 gallons paired with low MPG means it has limited range. In hurricanes especially, range is everything. Gas station close and still need 400 to 600 miles. I can carry extra fuel, but that takes away from camera gear and other survival gear I need. To a lesser degree, but still the case in blizzard chases. Secondly, the Jeep, lifted means it cannot move as fast on the Bob's roads that can make or break a chase. This is why Subaru will be returning to my fleet for chase duty. It, hands down, got me where others didn't try! And now that I know you can lift a Subaru Outback or Forester even more, sounds like my one detractor is gone.
It'll help, but it will be the goo between your ears that really gets you out.
The saying in the 4x4 world still applies: Anyone can get stuck, but to get really stuck, you need 4WD(AWD in this case).
Too many times when we get an ice storm in DFW, you'll see drivers in their F350 4x4s flying by. Almost invariably, they'll be in the ditch within a mile to two.
4WD/AWD are great ASSISTANTS, if you know the basic limits of the vehicle, tires, road surface, etc.
Nope. I see little need for AWD. At least where I live.
Maybe if I lived in Denver, but not in DFW.
I may wind up with an AWD vehicle, but it won't be because it's AWD.
you dont know what you're talking about. there is no platinum fusion. AWD is a $2000 option on the Titanium. do your reserch.
It really depends. Many poeple here say they are fine with fwd or rwd as long as they put snow tires on in winter. I live in New England and fully with this statement. The only problem is with cost. I just leased a BMW 328 and to purchase a set of snows on wheels is going to run me about $2000. Doesn't make sense to spend $2000 on wheels and tires on a leased car with a 60% residual meaning that $2000 for AWD only cost $800 over the period of the lease. Each situation is different. If I didn't live in a snowy climate, I would WANT a RWD of AWD for performance and fuel efficiency.
If I wanted an AWD car, I would just but a Subaru.
Motortrend, why is my comment still awaiting moderation from two days ago?
Looking over the replies, I find it funny how fast people respond with SURE! If you actually took in to account the actual days you REALLY needed AWD you could probably count on one hand in the majority of the country on a yearly basis the times you need it. Also, besides the added expense of saddling a car with this hardware, you also incur worse gas mileage. One thing I'm sure most of the readers don't know it that you are also paying more for auto insurance as the insurance companies factor in the higher costs associated with AWD technology over 2 wheel drive by vehicle. It is to the auto manufacturers to doup the average driver into thinking they "need" this as it is another large profit center for them. Next time you REALLY need AWD, just stay home and read a good book.
In Vancouver where it rains all the time and then some snow in the winter... I'ts good to know that AWD will get me out of any mess.
I wish the new Fusion was ONLY +$2K more for AWD. Apparently, you need to get the top of the line PLATINUM model first, which brings the car to ridiculous price range, where you could invest just a little more for real luxury wagon ... with AWD
Not on a nonluxury brand sedan. A UV, yes, but would rather it be 1200-1500 more. Pickup maybe... probably.
Absolutely! AWD is much better, safer and efficient than RWD or FWD. In fact, I own 4 cars and they are all AWD. (Nissan GTR 2012, Mercedes ML 63 AMG 2012, BMW 750 IX and Mercedes GL 350 Bluetec 2011.
Yes!. AWD is so much better for pulling out into traffic, especially on right turns, in good weather. You can use full power, no wheelspin.. Gets up to speed much faster, without need to wait for a bigger gap in traffic.
I drive a 95 Miata in the winter on all seasons with no traction control or ABS. AWD isn't necessary unless you live in a very hilly area (although I've had no problems so far here in hilly Pittsburgh).
The only reason I would pay extra for AWD is if the base car is FWD, and I would never consider a FWD-based car.
yes snow tires help immensely but who are you trying to kid ? move to northern alberta where i live and try saying that to someone and they'll think your on a day pass from an asylum ! we get 2 - 4 feet of snow every year and the two wheel drive trucks and cars dont go very far although i had a 2001 focus ZX3 front wheel drive with decent winter tires and it did admirably but still was tough especially trying to go up any type of hill in snow
depends on where you live and how you drive. Up here in wisconsin AWD is a big bonus.
$2000 in a 60 month payment program is only $33.33 more a month and you can have AWD!! I know it's too hard for you to figure it out but to people with a calculator this is a easy decision.
Another thing we're aren't as "cool" as all you guys that say, " i don't need snow tire or awd or fwd!!" I'm sure there enough idiots out there that can't handle a car. Even though you "say" you don't need it, probably just too "COOL" for this forum.
So you'll pay for it in a $90+k car but when it comes to a $25k car and its listed as an option, $2k is too much to spend? I agree that it maybe makes less sense in a warm climate, but as you listed sports cars, even in dry, hot weather, AWD has its benefits. Theres a reason a 997 turbo with PDK can hit 60 in like 2.8 seconds, and have such a low quarter mile with low trap speeds. The same with the GTR. I owned two Dodge Stealth Turbos and a 3000GT VR4 (all basically the same car). Revving to about 3500rpm and dumping the clutch felt like getting rear ended by a freight train. Doing the same in a 997 turbo and a GTR feels puts you in the back of your seat like a space shuttle.
And it really takes having a pair to tell a stranger to grow a pair, when you are doing it from the safety of your IP address, doesnt it.
Thanks Seva. No worries, I am getting used to the recent influx of neckbeards to the interwebs. Hopefully it will die down a little when they all go back to school at the end of August when they have less time on their hands to troll the internet. Actually I currently own 4 vehicles. My daily driver is a FWD 2010 Ford Fusion SEL V6. My summer/weekend car is a supercharged RWD 2003 Porsche 911 Carrera. My plow/off-road vehicle is an 89 Bronco 5.0 4x4 5 speed with only 24k miles, and my wife's car is a 2005 FWD Focus. I dont have a sister that I am aware of but I do have a brother.
This guy knows what's up. My manual Fit Sport does so well in the snow. I can't imagine forking out an extra 2 g's for something I don't need
Car manufactureres are in the business to make money ... it is a fiercly competitive busines the upside of which is that we have all these great choices today in what kind of car/truck to buy ....
Now I grew up in a time when cars where mostly RWD and as others have said, with snow tires on them, I reallly don't remember having that many problems in the snow. However, back then, we didn't seem to have the need to get in the car and go somewhere every five minutes.
Having said that, paying for a set of winter tires and having them mounted/dismounted because of the seasons can also get expensive amd if you have no place to put the things when they aren't on the car and can't change the things yourself. well you get my drift.
Depends on the car.
DD Sedan? No.
Rally car? SUV/Truck? Sure.
I got along for 15 years with RWD (and no ABS or traction control) in Indiana winters with almost no problems at all on all season tires but I have to say AWD was a top priority when I bought my SHO about a year ago. It kind of irritated me that it only barely snowed once last winter. For me, yes I'll definitely cough up $2000 for AWD. It's also nice to not have to feather the throttle in the rain too.
What a dingleberry. Ford uses exactly the same AWD system Audi uses. They even tried to license the name Quattro from Audi when the Five Hundred came out. They're both supplied by Haldex.
Yes! Yes! Yes! I have a large hill that climbs for.3 miles on our shared driveway with curves. Treacherous with snow in a FWD but no issue in AWD. I switched to driving Audi Quattros and have not looked back. We are in a location where there is not enough snow during winter to justify 4WD. Ditched many FWDs never the QUATTRO'S AWD.
I live in Canada (the southern part of British Columbia) so no, not really needed. Like everyone else has pointed out, a good set of winter tires is all that's needed. I'm actually surprised at the amount of people here who paid for AWD, yet try to drive on summer tires year round. It only snows 6-8 times a year here(Vancouver) and maybe an inch or two mostly, and it's just laughable watching the roads turn into a demolition derby during these snowfalls.
In So Cal, no, other areas where you get a decent amount of rain / snowfall yes.
YES because AWD is just way better than FWD
hell yeah ! I would pay $4000 for a S-AWC !
That was really not needed...
Or you can buy a small metal shovel for $5 and keep it in your trunk, just in case you need it. I think that it would be cheaper than forking out $2K.
Alan Mulally, is that you? *excited face*
My 01 Altima with snow tires is way better in the snow than my wife's impreza with awd and all seasons. Also it's awd not all wheel stop so snow tires are better once again. I drove 10 plus years in the CT winters with all seasons thinking that was all you need. Once I drive a car with snow tires on it there was no going back. I guess what I'm sayin is you don't need awd and it's somewhat overrated. Just get some snow tires.
It is a pretty advanced AWD where it will handle better and not slow it down, then Absolutely YES
Without Question!!
No. I would only order awd if I lived in a cold climate. It is entirely unnecessary here and I'll only put up with the added long term expense of an extra set of drive wheels on an OFF ROAD vehicle !!
Ha...You mean your sister doesn't mind driving you around in her fiesta in the winter. Stop pretending you actually own a car. Loser!
Not for a passive system on a FWD vehicle. You'd have to be retarded. Torque vectoring or full time AWD, sure!
Sure, why not? If the car has that option, I'm taking it. I live on the side of a mountain, in a very, very hilly town. We get snow and ice each winter. While I made it years with nothing more than RWDs and FWDs, I'll take my current AWD over them any day. My everyday driver (LS V8) is RWD with traction control, but if it's slick, I drive my AWD exclusively--4 tires turning on a slick surface are better than two--I don't care who you are.
I live in NW and I love skiing. While one can get used to all the rain in NW and can completely be happy with a set of good all-season or winter tires, having AWD has its blessings. I only need one set of tires, all-season tires are all that I ever need come sun, rain, mud or snow. I love that I can pass buy all front-wheel drive cars as I am heading over the pass on a snowy day. No need to stop and put chains on. I rarely worry about traction, in fact, traction is only a problem when you need to stop. No AWD will fix this problem, but it take AWd to get a car going up a snowy hill. By the way, why paying $2000 for AWD, just get 2013 Subaru Legacy and you will have AWD free of charge and a good mileage to boot. Long live AWD!
Southern California..... so NOPE!
Depends where I am living at the time. Living between Philly and DC I would say no, since I learned to drive in winter in a 79 caddy without snow tires. If I can't get through the inclement weather with modern traction control systems and a common sense approach to driving then I shouldn't be out.
Yes. All Wheel Drive is not only for winter, but also offers better traction on dry asphalt & gravel. I can feel much differences between the AWD Celica ST185 All-Trac turbo & FWD Celica ST184 GT-S. I am not talking about 200 bhp turbo vs 135 bhp NA, but the All-Trac has better handling, more cornering grip, less understeer & better weight distrbution. It' s still worth to pay more.
Ages ago Audi made AWD available on every model it made for the lowly sum of $1400. Considering that happened in the 90's, $2000 isn't much of a stretch in today's bucks. About 17% of the purchase price, or the cost of a old navigation system, or moon roof. But I guarantee you'll use this more than either of those.
Could it also be said that AWD is a marketing gimmick in some cars (and car based crossovers)? Because alot of AWD systems out there are FWD based 99% of the time unless wheel slippage is detected. So you could say that your paying $2,000 for a really good traction control system.
funny how my 97 monte without traction control is amazing in the snow love spinning the tires too good old all seasons is all i need
Nope, especially not here in southern california where its almost never needed unless your heading to the mountains in the winter. Its almost like a status thing with some people to say that they have AWD on their car. When I sold cars at a Buick GMC dealer about 3 years ago, I saved alot of people money on by telling them to avoid the AWD option on Terrains and Acadias. Its just not really needed in my opinion unless your climate where you live calls for it. That $1,400-$2,000 would be better spent on gas.

Went out last night to sample the local nightlife and ended up getting merrily pissed out our faces
This morning woke up feeling as rough as usual and figured we'd try to use a shower in a caravan park. After all what's the worst that could happen? We pulled up outside and the three of us walked in to the shower block. As I was on the toilet I heard some guy asking Luke where he was staying. Luke told him we were staying in the caravan park over in the corner and thought he'd believed him and that would be the end of it. Little did we realise he was the biggest dickhead on the face of the Earth. As I came out of the toilet he was there waiting and asked me where I was staying and to point it out. I pointed over into the corner of the caravan park which was apparently the permanent resident area with en suite showers so he didn't believe me. Luke came out the shower and tried to run off and jump over the fence which kind of showed we were lying to him

Wrote this yesterday ^^;; Hmmm.. It's not to shabby.
Look at this mess
Me all over the floor
Me all over the walls
And I'm melting
Into the puddle I once was
Liquefied into tears of sadness
I'm nothing now
So drink my misery
And spit me down
You hate my morbid sour taste
And I'm on the floor
A blooded mess on the walls
Reflecting all I ever was
So step on me
Just like you used to
Splash into my tears so somber
I'm alone, feeling the cool air
And the wetness of my body
Suck me up
Drop me into a jar
I'll take any shape
You want me to
Because I'm a liquid nothing
Made from all I ever cried for
I'm a mess
Dripping onto the floor
I'm blood shattered tears
The forgotten fluid mass
Waiting to evaporate
To be the cool air
And when I fall and rain again
Become the cloudy skies
And spit me out again

Don't roll your eyes at me
November 29, 2012
|From James Paterson
Last week we told you about the latest threat to free speech in Australia: the Gillard government's anti-discrimination law 'reforms'. IPA Legal Rights Project Director Simon Breheny had this must read article in The Australian on Friday explaining why the laws are so dangerous.
But never mind free speech, you may not even have free use of your eyeballs in the office – rolling your eyes and having one-on-one meetings with your staff might also get you sued!
This week hasn't been a great one for freedom in the UK.
In just a few hours Prime Minister David Cameron will announce his response to the Leveson Inquiry, which is believed to have recommended unprecedented government regulation of the media. Conservative backbenchers are very worried about what their government will do – read their letter supporting press freedom. The editor of The Spectator says he's prepared to go to jail rather than comply with a new regulator. Here's what the IPA's Chris Berg thinks of the inquiry.
And then there's this. Rotherham Metropolitan Borough Council this week took three children from their foster parents because the parents were members of the UK Independence Party. In this great piece on Spiked, Brendan O'Neill explains how Britain got to this point.
It was Thanksgiving last week in the United States. ReasonTV explains why we should be grateful for private property rights. This Chinese couple obviously agrees.
And lastly, because I know none of you would want to miss out, please mark in your diaries that next year is the International Year of Quinoa. The IPA is still figuring out how we will celebrate this momentous occasion, but when we do we will let you know. In the meantime enjoy this humourous piece from the IPA's Tim Wilson on the stupidity of symbolic days and years.
Here's what else the IPA said this week:

This week the Attorney General Nicola Roxon unveiled new draft anti-discrimination laws. They are terrible for two reasons: they overturn the onus of proof, and they restrict free speech. In this short videothe IPA's Simon Breheny explains the changes:
If you don't want us to end up like Britain (where it is now racist to call someone "Australian") or India (where their press council chairman said they "must crush freedom of press") or America (where they now have "free speech zones" on some university campuses) then please consider joining the IPA or donating to our ongoing Freedom of Speech Fighting Fund.
This has to be a first: a health and safety message that isn't completely crap, from Metro Trains. Mumbrella explains how it got 14 million views in one week. Personally I put it down to the privatisation of Victoria's train network.
Here's the video you've always wanted to send your anti-capitalist friend. It's by the great team at the Competitive Enterprise Institute, and it is based on Leonard Read's famous essay, 'I, Pencil'.
If that doesn't work, send them this great rant by Judge Judy on entitlements. It's terrific.
You've no doubt always wondered which Bond villain plots would actually work in real life. Wonder no longer. And this could be out of a Bond movie: the secret service destroys all traces of the President's DNA to prevent foreign spy agencies from collecting his biological data.
As we approach Christmas you must be wondering what to buy the free-marketeer in your life. If they're not already an IPA member you should buy them a gift membership. If they are, then try this great list of the best books in liberalism published in 2012, compiled by the IPA's Julie Novak.
If you're in Melbourne on Monday you might like to attend this event with the author of Little Green Lies, Jeff Bennett, hosted by Connor Court.

What's this fiscal cliff thing?
November 15, 2012
From John Roskam
What's the 'fiscal cliff' you say?
This from the The Age last week is an excellent short explanation. And Real Clear Policy explains its legislative and technical components. And here's 'The Absolute Moron's Guide to the Fiscal Cliff' (their words – not mine) from New York Magazine from Monday. I can guess which article you'll read first.
Next time someone quotes to you the Congressional Budget Office as a 'non-partisan' source (like in this article in The Australian) tell them the CBO thinks higher taxes and bigger government are good – as The Cato Institute explains.
In my column in The Australian Financial Review last Friday I wrote what I thought of the American election.
…on a lighter note – on Sunday in England a 19 year-old who got drunk and posted a picture on Facebook of him burning a Remembrance Day poppy was arrested. Last week in Hey we told you that in the UK three people a day are being arrested for what they post on Facebook and Twitter.
The Gillard government has backed down on its internet filter. Now all we have to worry about is the Iranian government deciding what Australians can see on the web – as the IPA's Simon Breheny explains on FreedomWatch.
Encounter magazine was a bastion of liberalism in the West during the Cold War. You can now read every edition and writers like Isaiah Berlin, CS Lewis, Raymond Aron, Hugh Trevor-Roper, and Arthur Koestler free and online here. All the details are in this month's edition of the IPA's Horizons.
Peter Coleman has a wonderful history of Encounter and its milieu in his 1989 book The Liberal Conspiracy. Here's the Los Angeles Times review of it.
You'll be starting to think about books to buy yourself for Christmas. Don't buy Arnold Schwarzenegger's new autobiography – The Spectator's review of it a fortnight ago is hilarious.
Do buy the final volume of William Manchester's biography of Churchill which has just come out – this is its fascinating story from the New York Times.
With Stephen Spielberg's new movie Lincoln out soon – the trailer is here – and Rolling Stone's review is here – you could get yourself the book it's based on which was reviewed in the IPA Review back in 2009.

The BBC won't let ET phone home
November 8, 2012
From James Paterson
Obviously crime has been eradicated entirely in the UK. That's the only way to explain three people being arrested every day for posts on Facebook and Twitter. Some have even been jailed for as long as three months!
But then again the UK is a weird place: the BBC won't even let the Brits listen to aliens from outer space because it might violate health and safety regulations.
Our 75 (now 100) radical ideas for Tony Abbott attracted some criticism. But nothing could prepare us for this stinging editorial in The Guardian, the official newspaper of the Communist Party of Australia.
Everyone knows Greece is in serious trouble, as explained in this excellent piece last week by Nick Cohen in the other Guardian (I can see how you'd get mixed up). But would you believe America's debt per person is actually much worse?
Some Hey readers might be disappointed by the election results from America yesterday. But not James Delingpole – he offers 10 reasons to be happy about an Obama win! So how did Obama do it? Time magazine has an interesting back story on the Democrats' data-crunching machine. Personally I think it came down to the National Dance for Obama Day.
During Hurricane Katrina in 2005, retailer Wal-Mart famously came to New Orleans' rescue long before the US federal government. What could possibly beat that story of free enterprise efficiency over government bureaucracy, you ask? How about Victoria's Secret saving the day during Hurricane Sandy? I promise it's true.
If you're looking for something lighter to read, try this wonderful essay by Simon Schama on James Bond's 50th anniversary from Newsweek.
Finally, if you're in Sydney next week you can see the IPA's Tim Wilson and Peter Costello debate Bob Katter and Alan Jones on foreign investment. Tickets to this Spectator Australia debate can be purchased here.

A very thick mask that I've had for a while and really wanted to like, but every time I use it my skin ends up looking worse and I break out the next day. Will not buy again.
I only gave this product a 4 out of 5.. BUT thats only because this is my first time using it.. so I don't have any long run results. I don't generally write reviews but I thought this was worth writing. The product smells GREAT. It doesn't smell like medication like some masks.. but it doesn't smell overpoweringly sweet. It just smells fresh. It did have a little bit of a burn when I first put it on, but not bad at all. I let it set for 20 minutes and rinsed it off with warm water as directed with a clean wash cloth. I didn't have any trouble getting it off. My face feels AMAZING. It feels so clean, not tight like when you use some products. It is sooooo soft too. I tend to get breakouts on my cheeks and chin, so that is where I really focused on when I applied. A little bit seems to go a loooong way. I will be purchasing this again, as well as recommending it like crazy!!
2 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I've been using this mud mask for around seven years on and off. It's my go-to mask for when I need to banish clogged pores and unwanted oil from my dry skin.
It's fantastic to use during the summer to absorb all the oil from sun-lotion and all the products from the warm weather. This isn't my favourite mask by all means but I do see a significant difference when I use it. It stings my skin a little when I first apply it - I don't find it that off putting but I'm sure it would be a deal breaker for other consumers with somewhat sensitive skin.
As far as the quality for the price, I think it's extremely cheap. One tube will last me well over a year - although I'm sure that wouldn't be recommended! In Australia, it's pretty much the cheapest drugstore mud mask you can purchase and I think it's well worth it.
EDIT: This is terrible conpared to european clay powder (Around $5 off iherb.com) since using retinol a, my skin is slightly more sensitive. This clay mask burns like hell on my skin, its awful! Other clay masks do the same job minus the burning.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I swear by this stuff, it makes you're face less oily, and you're left with baby soft skin. Also I had a few breakouts on my face & after I used this it literally dried them up! I'm really happy that it doesn't clog you're pores or make me itchy after I rinse it off. I didn't notice any burning or itching while using this mask, but this is thick so a little goes a long way :) I'd use this maybe twice a week or less, no more or it will dry out you're skin.
I tried the pink one which burnt my skin a bit so I tried this one which is much better. It has a bit of a tingle but it makes my skin feel nice afterwards.
The first product from 10.0.6 that I bought was the pink mask called Pores Be Pure and since I was so impressed with it I wanted to try the orange one. I was a little disappointed and because of the result.
I took of one lippy for the fact that it didn't do much to my skin and another because I was let down in general.
Deep Down Detox is supposed to clean your skin deeply which it didn't do for me.
I give it a plus for the great smell of orange and for the fact that you only need a little bit to get it over your entire face. It gave me a fresh feeling but not much more than that. I wouldn't buy it again.
I bought the small package which is really cheap, the bigger package is probably a LOT for your money.
A small package will last you for several usage.
I've been looking for a nice face mask preferably something detoxing for my skin. So when I came across this on sale at Walgreens I just had to get it. The smell of this product is amazing! As it dries it tightens up your skin and you might feel a slight burning sensation but to me it's kinda soothing? As odd as that sounds.. Once I rinse this off my skin feels so soft and clean. This has to be my favorite face mask
This is the first clay mask I've ever purchased, and I'm pretty happy with it. It has a nice orange smell and is really cheap! I love the fact that when I wash it off my face feels much softer and smoother! I personally don't think it's helping me eliminate my blackheads or shrink my pores, but it makes my face feel better and cleaner.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
It is so so thick, which makes it a bit hard to apply. The product also dries very fast, leaving the skin "tense-feeling". This mask is suitable for the hotter months of the year, when my skin get oilier. But in winter, an absolute no-go that leaves my skin dry, unless I cover it with several layers of moisturiser after using it.
I like this better than the pores be pure. It smells like oranges and has the same thick consistency and grey/brown clay colour but it doesn't sting and still leaves a smooth complexion if used once or twice weekly. I find it helps my skin soften to remove blackheads also.

I am very comfortable with all the workings and non-workings of DirecTV, however, i am now getting into the Echostar world. If anyone one has common problems/solutions, issues, nuances, ANYTHING that i will see in the Echostar world, please comment. Sorry this is so vague. Again, i am very knowledgeable with satellite in general and DirecTV in particular....I'm just looking for a heads- up.
Thanks for anything you may contribute!!

On Oct. 12, Crave Personal Training and Boot Camp of Huntington Beach partnered with the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation to raise funds to find a cure for juvenile diabetes, Type 1, which is considered an autoimmune disease.
The event was Cure for the Kids, and money was raised by participants rallying sponsorships for pushups performed under a 90 second time limitation.
Participants ranged from Crave trainers, clients, local business employees and local families, including Michael Gale, a 9-year-old foundation spokesman who was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes at age 3.
Type 1 diabetes is an insulin deficiency young children are born with and will struggle with the entirety of their lives, sometimes cut short from complications and medical problems.
The event began with 30 exercise fanatics participating in a free boot camp.
Michelle and Ranse Gale, Michael's parents, flew in from Sacramento to bring awareness to the community about type 1 diabetes.
They gave a touching speech about how it has affected their lives since the diagnosis.
The event was kicked off by Michael performing 50 pushups in 90 seconds while the crowd of 60 participants watched and cheered.
After that, other sponsored participants performed pushups, worth $5 each.
After all was said and done, the pushup total hit 1,310, raising almost $7,000.
Local businesses donated flat-screen TVs, skateboards and services for raffle.
– Taryn Peters is the owner of Crave Personal Training and Boot Camp in Huntington Beach

Updated: 02/08/2014 6:36 PM
Created: 02/08/2014 10:09 AM WHEC.com
Firefighters were out late Friday night to battle a fire at a business in Gates.
The Gates Fire Department tells News10NBC they were called to the 900 block of Buffalo Road just after 11:30 p.m. for a report of a building fire.
When they arrived, Gates Fire Chief Jim Harrington says crews found heavy fire conditions in a garage at the back of the building. Chief Harrington says the fire also extended from that garage into the attic and into the front portion of the building.
Chief Harrington says crews were able to fight the fire back on the front side, so it didn't completely destroy the office area. But the backside of the building did have extensive damage.
The extent of the damage to the rear of the building was so severe that firefighters were worried about a potential collapse.
"Around the back, the wall is burnt right through. We're concerned with some structural integrity and a potential collapse. So we have established collapse zones on what we call the Charlie side, the rear end of the building," says Chief Harrington. "We're trying to keep our guys out of harm's way and using hose streams to reach and knock down the remainder of the fire"
The cold temperatures also caused problems for firefighters.
Chief Harrington says, "We got firefighters that are extremely wet that about to start ice up. With water not moving, there's potential for fire hydrants to freeze up and fire hoses to freeze up. Just keeping packed up and getting back into service is going to be labor intensive to get that done any everything."
It took firefighters about an hour and a half to get the fire under control.
A sign in front of the building says it belongs to UpState Metrology Incorporated, a business that specializes in calibration and testing service company.

Master Bladesmith and knife designer Bob Kramer and Zwilling J.A. Henckels have partnered to launch a line of authentic Bob Kramer carbon steel knives that will be available at Sur La Table beginning this month.
The series, which is made in Seki, Japan, showcases Kramer's signature style of straight carbon steel blades. It marks the first time Kramer's handcrafted carbon steel knives, which start at $400 per inch and sell for up to $22,000, will be made available on a wide scale.
"I am excited to partner with Zwilling J.A. Henckels, a company that consistently delivers expertise and long-lasting quality," Kramer said. "Zwilling J.A. Henckels will provide me the resources and tools I'll need to create cutlery that incorporates innovation with the traditional craftsmanship I respect."
Kramer is one of about 100 people worldwide to be certified a Master Bladesmith, and the Kramer knife has been dubbed the "Ferrari of the knife world," according to Henckels. The Henckels collection will feature the identical type and grade of straight carbon steel Kramer uses in his own knives, the type of steel that is easier to sharpen and takes a keener edge than stainless steel blades (though it requires extra care and is not for the "casual knife user," Henckels acknowledged).
The Bob Kramer Carbon Steel Knives collection includes a paring knife, 5-inch utility knife, 9-inch slicer, 7-inch santoku, and 6-, 8- and 10-inch chef knives, all featuring a grenadille handfinished wood handle adorned with brass bolster, rivets and a mosaic pin featuring the Bob Kramer logo. Prices range from $139.99 to $349.95. The line is exclusive to Sur La Table in June, and available to the rest of the American market in September.
"We are pleased Mr. Kramer chose to work with us on this endeavor," said Claus Holst-Gydesen, CEO of Zwilling J.A. Henckels, AG. "We have a mutual respect for each other's work, which will result in extraordinary developments never before seen in the cutlery world."
