Cataclysm class and mastery systems explained {WoW}
Jul 9th 2010 12:47AM I think that a couple of major points are not being addressed here. One is the human nature to research something before parting with hard-earned cash and the other is that there are still roughly 12 million people playing this game.
Here in Australia, the Battlechest will put you back about AUD$50 during a sale, then you're looking at AUD$50 or so for Wrath. We're expecting to pay about $90 to $130 here for Cataclysm on release day. That's a total of almost $200 to get started! Then you factor in a time card (AUD$35) or using your credit card - which is only slightly less - and you have yourself an investment of almost $250. Would you spend that much money without doing a bit of research? Of course not!
As someone who, until recently, managed one of the biggest gaming retail chains in Australia, we were expected to know a great deal about what we were selling. Every day would see us answering a myriad of questions regarding upcoming or current releases and at least three times a week I (as the store's "WoW Guy") would have someone asking for advice in relation to gameplay or whether or not to buy.
Also, let's be honest here, few people will enter into an MMO if they don't know someone who already plays. I most certainly would not have taken up the game if several people I knew (including my partner) didn't already play.
That last point bring us to the second thing that people aren't thinking about. Over 12 million people already play this game - which means there are roughly 1.2 million people playing who are not complete bastards. Statistically, you're bound to come across someone who will point you in the right direction in-game.
Furthermore, we're not privy to the help text that will probably accompany the choice people make at level 10. I'm pretty sure that before you make your choice, you will have to do a quest or two, or wade through some text explaining what your choice will mean.
Breakfast Topic: Alt-zheimer's {WoW}
Jun 9th 2010 6:49PM Urgh, I have a list! Calling out that I'm popping Heroism over Vent while on my warlock while wondering what happened to my totems. Wondering where my Life Tap and/or minion went on my shaman. I recently remembered to change my bindings on my mains' specs so that my Divine Plea in ret was no longer my DI key on my holy offspec (having half of Dalaran teabag your character is motivating!). Then there's the usual problem of going from melee to caster DPS - and having an entire raid stop and watch you melee down trash on your warlock.
My significant other has this problem: if we're out farming eternals in WG together, I know that at some point I'll have to fly down into Sholzar Basin and res her warlock. She has an uncanny knack of finding a way to fall great heights. I don't have to ask anymore. If I see her health bar go from 100% to 0%, I just make a bee-line for the nearest drop.
The Classifieds: The customer service is not a lie {WoW}
May 5th 2010 4:33PM I have to admit that whenever I queue up for a random dungeon on an alt, I always breathe a sigh of relief when I see players from Silverhand. They are generally the most understanding and - well - nice players I've come across. A perfect example of this was when I was farming Norm ToTC for that damn Black Heart for my freshly-minted 80 tank. Two of the other players were also chasing it but because my character was the tank, they passed on it for me.
It's little things like that, that make me defend those "RP nerds" everyone seems to enjoy flaming so much on my own server. It's also the reason my partner plays on Silverhand. She cares not one whit for the roleplaying or lore, it's the friendliness of the players.
To everyone on that server, I salute you.
Breakfast Topic: A sucker for orphans {WoW}
May 4th 2010 1:08AM I'm the same as you Matthew. Brewfest, Hallow's Eve and the plethora of others - no thanks! If I ever get my Purple Proto it'll be by pure chance.
Children's Week however, is something I've done every year religiously. I've heard rumours of Blizzard donating part of subscriptions during that time to charity. Whether or not this is true is irrelevant to me. It just gives me a warm fuzzy feeling to go back to all those places I haven't visited since this time last year and bring someone with me.
Okay, and there's the spectacle of watching 25 people /slap their Orphan in a raid.
[1.Local]: Celestial RMT and the Fresh Steed {WoW}
Apr 18th 2010 8:45PM From what I've seen in /Trade, a lot of the arguments seem to be from 12-16 year-olds who desperately want one - but can't get mummy and/or daddy to pony up the cash for it. On hearing the bad news, they stamp their little feet, turn Simple Plan way up loud, push their fringe off their faces and rant like the little emo so-and-so's they are.
Twilight references? I approached my personal Twilight fangirl (Soon To Be Wife - who will probably tie me up by my feet and beat me with a garden hose for that) and asked her if there is any reference to any form of winged gee-gee in the books or movies. Nope. Nada. Zip. If any reference could be made to a movie, it'd probably be to the Pegasus in Clash of the Titans - which brings me to the reason I bought one for myself and STBW.
Her birthday request this year was simple: a Pegasus and to do something unmentionable to the actress who plays Io in Titans. My first idea for the Pegasus was to go out and buy a My Little Pony and tape wings to it - which would have had the same effect as calling STBW a Twilight fangirl. When I found out the Celestial Steed was available, I purchased one for STBW straight away - and then on coming in-game and seeing just how awesome they look, I bought one for myself.
They look fantastic, scale to riding skill and every character you create will get one. I'm not seeing a down-side here! Blizzard isn't forcing you to buy one in order to access content, nor are they victimising you in any way for not having one. If anything, the mount says, "I have a bit of disposable income to toss about right now and I think it's pretty".
So pretty in fact, that it took my Blue Proto-Drake's position as "Brag Mount above Dalaran".
In-game fixes for March 26th, 2010 {WoW}
Mar 27th 2010 9:16PM I've tried it with all of my addons moved to another folder and the graphics settings all the way down with some success. Moving/deleting your WTF folder has no effect. It only seems to happen on one of my characters too - which just happens to be the one I want to play as he's so-damn-close-to-80-it-hurts.
They'll patch it eventually - they always do...
Cataclysm tanking cooldown feedback wanted {WoW}
Mar 19th 2010 4:18PM Awesome idea!
Also, some kind of Defense food for tanks as right now there's nothing.
Officers' Quarters: Rolling like jerks {WoW}
Mar 17th 2010 3:11AM I participated in an ICC 25 run using GDKP and I thought it was great! Even though the measly 3k gold I walked in with didn't even scratch the surface of most of the bids (Bryntol went for 12k - and I cried, like a hungry, angry baby) I came out the other end with a host of achievements, badges and just over 4k on top of the gold I took in. For PuGs, I'd highly recommend this system.
Officers' Quarters: Rolling like jerks {WoW}
Mar 16th 2010 8:48AM Yikes!
Okay, some clarification is required here: my realm is a PvE server with a low to mid level of interest in PvP and a lot of the time you will see "What is this pvp s#@t?!?" in a VoA run, followed by a mass exodus from the raid. More often than not, one of the guys in the guild will pipe up over Vent saying he or she would like that item but doesn't want to roll, so if there is someone else of the same class/spec who doesn't mind copping, "Why are you rolling on that crap?" from PuGs, they'll roll. If the item is rolled on by a PuG and the guildie is still not prepared to roll, then they lose the item.
On re-reading the post (with more than four hours sleep behind me in the last 72), I think it came out that everyone in the guild madly rolls on every item on the odd chance that someone will get something out of it. UH UH! Nooooo! I'm personally surprised I didn't go into an in-depth diatribe about how rubber chickens are far more hygienic than the real thing and therefore make better pets... Oh wait, I wrote about that in the guild forum.
Sleep is good people!
The Dungeon Finder and gear disparity {WoW}
Mar 15th 2010 12:57PM Wait a minute. You're referring to covering yourself in PvP epics and doing it in a way that is so removed from the rest of the game et large that I'm not surprised you have no social awareness. If I came into a raid where the players were wearing PvP gear (even the weird PvP/PvE mix from Wintergrasp), I'd be so worried about stealing aggro from melee hits I'd be headed for the door. If I was raid leader and you came into the raid with ANY PvP gear on (with an exemption on PvP retadin bracers) you'd be booted before you could even say, "sup n00bz".
You sound like you've invested a great deal of time and effort into creating a guide for people to power-level their third or fourth character and have them ready to step into high end gear the moment they hit 80. Good for you! There are probably millions of people out there on their third, fourth or tenth 80. They have all trades covered to minimise cost for enchants/gems/etc and tens of thousands in gold squirreled away to ensure those new alts always have the latest e-peen.
Remember though, that there are people out there who are still leveling their first character, who don't have the time or interest in poring over AH forums to squeeze that extra few gold out of Titansteel or Glyphs, or EJ forums to squeeze out a few more DPS. There are people out there who, obviously unlike you, remember that the last word in MMORPG is GAME and play to enjoy themselves - NOT to kow-tow to the likes of elitist wankers like yourself. If a person is still sporting green trinkets or quest-level blues in heroics, they're not a bad player. They've simply not invested the hundreds of hours of painstaking play you obviously have. If a player has gone to enough trouble to know to gem Str instead of AP or SP on a retadin, they know the mechanics of their class well enough to look after themselves.
Those of us who are particularly geared should welcome the not-so-geared in heroic runs. It's the perfect place for us to hone our aggro-management, survivability and panic-healing techniques. There are those out there (whyisretgimped being a perfect example) who are just getting lazy. We need to remember when most of us first set foot in the Northrend heroics. Most tanks were sporting 20k health, healers 15-20k mana and DPS would push out 2.5k DPS with the wind behind them. Remember those times you were sweating after healing a King Dredd encounter? Remember your first encounter with the Commander in Nexus (here's a hint: "Hey, I think that guy's a bo... hey I'm dead!").
Take a step back whyisretgimped, get off your high-horse and realise that the game was made for millions of people to enjoy - not just yourself.

I replace the washer for the hose faucet, but it is still leaking at the bottom where the threads are for connecting a hose. I went to a home improvement store to ask what I could do other than replacing a washer. I was not given any answers.
How many years can a hose faucet last. Mine is about 6 years (and that's when the house was built. Who knows if it was a bad or used faucet already), and it has started leaking actually 2 years ago already. I did not fix it because I did not have to use it often, but now I do. Any suggestions? |
Follow-Up Postings:
New washer and tighten it with pump pliers. The actual seal is between the washer and the metal section on the end of the hose. The threaded shell just pulls things tightly together. |

Michelle Williams turned heads at the Cannes Film Festival this week by making her first red carpet appearance since Heath Ledger's January death.On Thursday night, the 27-year-old glowed in a lacy vintage Chanel couture frock while promoting her flick Wendy and Lucy. (The film focuses on a woman's adventures as she drives with her dog Lucy to Alaska.)"Some people said tonight it was a transcendent performance," a rep for the film told UK Marie Claire. "It's about things going on around her and she's just she's trying to go forward and things are not working out for her. You see her taking care of herself first, which is exactly what we must do."Friday afternoon, she dressed more casually for a photo call her other film, the comedy Synecdoche, New York. See more red carpet pics here.Williams has been keeping herself busy with work.She will return to Boston shortly to resume filming the Martin Scorsese thriller Shutter Island, which co-stars Leonardo DiCaprio.Also keeping her on her toes? Two-year-old daughter Matilda, whom she had with the late actor."I am the mother of the most tender-hearted, high-spirited, beautiful little girl who is the spitting image of her father," Williams said after his death."All that I can cling to is his presence inside her that reveals itself every day," she added.

American Welding and Tank, which has been recognized as one of the leaders in the propane tank industry since 1917, has manufacturing facilities in Fremont, OH and West Jordan, UT and will give Quality Steel the ability to increase its production capacity and better serve their customer base by having strategically located facilities.
President and CEO of Quality Steel, Jim Tims, said, "Quality Steel has survived and grown by setting the industry standards for quality and customer service.
We plan to use these same standards to earn the trust and loyalty of the many faithful customers of American Welding and Tank that we will be welcoming to our costumer base.
We are excited about the many new relationships we will be developing within the propane gas industry."
Virgil Mullins, COO at Quality Steel Corporation, stated, "We are looking forward to joining two companies that have such rich histories of quality and customer service.
Our combined capacity and manufacturing expertise will allow us to better serve the future needs of the propane industry."
Quality Steel Corporation's Vice President of Sales and Marketing, Lynn Hardin, said, "This acquisition will expand our product offerings as well as provide Quality Steel an opportunity to improve upon our delivery model.
We look forward to integrating the synergies that exist between the two companies to provide the customer with the best experience possible."

Kimball Arts Festival
Summer is still going strong in Park City. This weekend marks the 42nd Kimball Arts Festival on Historic Main Street Park City. This event is an amazing opportunity for art enthusiasts to stroll main street viewing works from 220 exhibiting artists.
Once known as Kimball Corner, the original Kimball Art Center building on the property operated as a livery stable built to serve the tiny mining community. In 1929, the site transformed into the Kimball Brothers Garage and for 43 years the garage served Park City's automotive needs. In 1976, arts enthusiast Bill Kimball, along with support from members of the Park City community, transformed the dilapidated garage into a non-profit community center for the visual arts. Since that time, the Kimball Art Center has served art lovers in the Park City area by providing top quality exhibitions and events. Today the Kimball Art Center is free and open to the public year-round offering classes for children and adults.
Make a weekend of the event and book the Summer Renewal Package which includes a deluxe bedroom and three course dinner in the Glitretind Restaurant.

MONDAY 1/21: Castaway Cay
I was up really early this morning, so I stood out on our verandah and watched the sun rise and wondered if one of the islands I was seeing was Castaway Cay. The free mini-facial we won in the spa raffle was only redeemable on port days; Id scheduled it for first thing in the morning on our Castaway Cay day. (Though I was thankful for the freebie, this restriction was a bit frustrating when we only had 2.5 port days on this trip, and one of them was Castaway Cay and one was WDW.) After a quick breakfast with the boys at Topsiders I headed to the other end of deck 9 and the spa. I wore my CC clothes (swimsuit & coverup with capris) so Id be ready to head straight to the beach with the family asap after my appointment. I was given an info form to fill out, then taken back to change into a robe and to leave my stuff in a locker. After a few minutes the spa tech came and collected me and took me into the treatment room. We had a bit of discussion about my regular skincare routine (which, not surprisingly, was declared to be not good enough ). The tech was very nice, and the treatment (about 30+ minutes of cleaning, moisturizing, mask, scalp massage) was pleasant. Relaxing and enjoying is not my strong suit, but it was fine----and the part I was dreading, the Life-Saving-Product schtick, was actually not bad. She told me about two different products, a cleanser that was $30-something, and a combo moisturizer/night cream/eye cream that was $70-something . certainly more expensive than what I typically use, but not off the charts and not as bad as I was expecting after Scotts experience!! As soon as I was done, I met the boys back in our room and we were ready to head out to Castaway Cay. By the time we got out there, at about 9:15, there was no crowd leaving the ship, and we made our leisurely way to the family beach, stopping periodically to snap photos. We dropped our stuff on a chair at the first big family beach area, then Scott and DS1 went off to rent a kayak. DS2 and I walked about knee-deep into the water (brrrr!!), watched the fish swim around our feet for about 2 minutes, and then he declared he needed to go to the bathroom. Of course. And of course, I didnt bother to notice there was a bathroom just a stones throw away, so instead we went on a little explore and ended up at the restrooms aaaalllll the way down by the games area. This ended up being a nice time there was NO ONE there, and DS2 got to have the putting green all to himself, and we played a very intense game of giant checkers. By the time we finished, it had gotten a lot warmer; we went looking for a drink of water, and instead found the ice-cream cone machine! Perfect! When we got back to our stuff/chair, DH and DS1 were back-----and not very happy. DS2 was hot, tired, and crabby already. DS1 wanted to go to the kids club area (Scuttles Cove) and though DS2 didnt really want to (he didnt want to do ANYthing, really!) we talked him into it and dropped them off there, trusting the counselors, the readily available cups of water, and the low-key play to snap him out of his funk. We let the kids know wed be back to get them for lunchtime, then we hustled to Serenity Bay!!! We had to walk a bit for the SB tram, but we got there with about an hour to spend before we needed to collect the kids. First stop was the bar, where I got a Konk Kooler (peer pressure after reading so much about them on the DIS!) and Scott got a Deep Blue Sea. Then we took our drinks over to the beach, and dragged a couple of chairs down to the waters edge. It was gorgeous, quiet, and tremendously blue!! We enjoyed our drinks (though mine was a bit too sweet for me; I wish Id gotten a Deep Blue Sea instead), relaxed, walked out among the fish and coral . then asked some folks to take our picture before we caught the tram back to Scuttles Cove. The kids *could* have had lunch with the kids club folks, but we really wanted to eat together, so we picked them up and then went to Cookies. It was busy but not overly crowded or crazy, and we didnt have any trouble finding a table. We really enjoyed the food, and about ¾ of the way through our meal, we heard familiar voices-----Mickey, Minnie, Goofy and Pluto had come out (timed to a soundtrack, so they talked!!!) and did a whole island-y song-and-dance-and-skit thing. DS2 couldnt wait to go see them, but when we got there he would only watch, and not join in the dance. Still, he cant resist the opportunity to see his friends up close! When that was over, we went back and finished lunch and made a plan for the afternoon: Scott and the boys would go play games. I would find a hammock and relax and wait for them. Then wed do some shopping (DS1 wanted a shark tooth necklace) and then get an ice cream and make our way back to the ship. So we did. They headed to In-Da-Shade Games. I stretched out on a hammock, expecting to see them back in 30 minutes . and they showed up about an hour and a half later (at least---I wasnt wearing a watch!). We were apparently on island time! I wished I'd had my Nook with me so I could read, but just relaxing, drinking a cold Corona Light, and getting a nice slow sunburn (unintentionally!! LOL) worked just fine for me. This was my lovely view: When they came back, DS2 and I went for a little cooling-off dip (DS1 did NOT like being in the water with fish! LOL), then we went to find that shark-tooth necklace. Wed hoped to find the ice cream machines going, but as we went back toward the ship, theyd already been closed down (this was probably about 3 p.m.). We took a few more pictures as we approached the ship. After boarding, we quickly went to our room to change clothes, then went to the Buena Vista Theater to catch Frankenweenie in 3D! On the way there we bumped into another special friend... When the movie ended we went back to clean up for dinner; I put the long lens on my camera and caught a few "going-away" pictures of Castaway Cay from our verandah before we went down to dinner at Lumieres! At dinner, we helped our table neighbors celebrate a birthday, then went straight to bed to try to rest up for our next really big day!! |

Breakfast Topic: How many dailies could you manage in one day?
We're close: 140,608 as of last night. And there's no way we do 10,000 dailies in one day, so a single, mind-numbing night of grinding is out of the question. Still, wondering when we might notch the achievement gets one ticking off one's fingers and wondering ...
Assuming you haven't stopped dailying around, how many dailies do you do every day? How many do you think you could complete in a normal-length (for you) play session if you really put the pedal to the metal? Which dailies would you line up first? If you were trying to do as many dailies as possible, is there somewhere you'd head outside of Pandaria to crank them out?
[Thanks for the topic go to Gimmlette, who I suspect is merely trying to remind me to log in tonight and, er, do my dailies!]

It is easy to travel in either direction from London fo important celebrations in our India or USA Ashram. I was fortunate to go to India to have GuruMaa's darshan for Holi, and attend the grand function planned by the Trustee Board in India.
Other disciples had already arrived, for instance, Mokshpriya from Delhi and Akshatmitra from Chennai . By the time I had reached, GuruMaa had planned the program in detail. Responsibilities were assigned for all the tasks, and all the volunteers had started arriving. All the artists had also arrived. Representatives from the TV and press media arrived promptly for the press conference. Ashray Hotel was decorated beautifully, the stage was ready and the Guests of Honors arrived on time. Except for a Bollywood actress, everyone was there on time. Besides the Indian classical music and dance program. GuruMaa's new books were also being released that evening. When I went to the venue, it was bright, sunny and hot. By the program was to start, it had cooled down. That was the beauty of the weather in Lonavala. Mr. Sahay was to be the Master of Ceremony. Mokshpriya and Yagymitra opened the program with the holy mantras, the AVIDES competition winners took the stage and enthralled the audience. The audience had grown to be more than 200 with guests arriving not only from Lonavala, but also from Pune and Mumbai.
Sweekar Katti on Sitar, Rishi Upadhyaya on Pakhawaj, Prateeksha Kashi with her Kuchipuddi, Dhanashree Natu with her Kathak dance and Asavari Deglurkar were just amazing talent discovered by the AVIDES Foundation. They had wowed the audience in New York, and now had done so at Lonavala too. The highlight of the evening was, of course, the performance of Sangeet Martandya, Padma Vibhushan, Ved Shiromani, Pandit Jasrajji. He performed all my favourite numbers, including Shivoham, Shivoham and Sri Hanumat Lala.
Highlight of the evening was the release of GuruMaa's new books, Sri Hanumat Upasana Sangrah and Names according to Nakshatra. The Guest of Honors, Jain Muni Sri Manak Muniji Maharaj, Mr and Mrs. Jasraji and Padma Bhushan Smt. Rajshree Devi Birla inaugurated the books, and then handed the prizes to the AVIDES winners. Pushpaji Khandelwal made a heart warming speech, and GuruMaa blessed all the artists, devotees and audience members. Tasty dinner was served to all the guests. The program was covered by ZeeTV globally, and more than 20 articles were published in a wide-ranging local, regional and national newspapers.
GuruMaa had asked me to leave around 10 pm, and had assured me that I would reach the airport in time. Mishraji, my friend's driver entertained me with mantras and katha from Sri Ram Charitra Manas. And, as GuruMaa had predicted, I reached in time to catch my return flight for an exciting week-end trip to India for the Holi program.
Jai Sri Hanuman!

Hey, guys. Today, I'm gonna talk to you about how to create versatile summer look from a couple of your favorite pieces. So, my first piece that I picked a chiffon black t-shirt and I love this piece for summer because it's so light and airy and it pretty much goes with anything else in your wardrobe. My second piece that I picked was this pretty cream laced skirt. And basically, I would just say, a mini skirt would be [unknown] skirt. You [unknown] all the same 'cause I know everyone has their own kind of taste. [unknown]. And my third piece is my black leather bag. It's just basic and I wear it with pretty much everything even in the summer and I think it just adds a little bit of edge to the outfit. I can even accessorize my three basic singles with a black leather belt with a gold chain and it matches my cute little Topshop sandals and it also have a gold chain [unknown] black leather strap. And then I just added my favorite RayBan and that completed my basic summer look. Okay. So, I'm done and really all to take with this look is I added black hat and I added a pretty chiffon shawl and every time I wear this look to either downtown [unknown] or you know, have coffee or if you can really pretty [unknown] to school or you can just kinda wear it from [unknown] round. I think you have a really nice fit with a chiffon top and a pretty mini skirt. They just add a little of a boho feel to keep color [unknown]. Okay [unknown] today. I just like that it gives a little [unknown] denim jacket, one of my other favorite thick clothes and I think it's perfect or the right time to feel, it always gets a little chillier at night. And I added one of my favorite pair of heels. The one with gold [unknown] so it kind of [unknown] the gold accent of belt. I know we have the [unknown]. So, I hope this really helps you in picking [unknown].

We are putting a flat screen TV on our wall and we cannot seem to figure out what to do with the cable box. Where do you all have the box located. thanks |
Follow-Up Postings:
Wall hung TVs require remotely located associated equipment including the cable/dish/FIOS box, DVD, receiver, etc. Some place the equipment out of sight in a nearby closet or within sight in a cabinet. How to accomplish this and provide for the future as well as right now is the interesting part. It is not safe to just run cables because they keep changing. It is best to run a big conduit in the wall from behind the TV to the equipment area. You might need an IR repeater or RF remote control. Some TV's have a cable card slot and you can get a card from your cable TV company to plug into it. This can eliminate the box if you don't want DVR or the program guide. |
I have an LCD mounted on the wall in my kitchen. In this situation I put the cable box up in the attic, I control it thru IR hardware. I also mounted an LCD on the wall in my bedroom, but the wall is shared with the closet. I was able to put the cable box on a shelf in the closet, leaving the closet door opened a bit allows the remote to work flawlessly without IR equipment. So as you can see, it all depends on the particular situation. If you post pictures or a layout of the room it will be easier for us to give advice. |

This is my first time growing this type of pepper is this a normal looking stalk and what kinda tips and tricks can any of you off to get the best peppers possibly thanks look forward to hearing back |

Well first thing, set the plant upright. They don't like trying to grow sideways. |

Looks like a sucking insect has attacked your plant. There are several that do that. Black dots are where they dug in. Problem is,the bugs spread diseases. I never figured out if the spots are black because of damage or some nasty disease spreading. Not good either way. I have noticed a lot of times the black seems to only be on certain branches.Others seem to be not effected. Maybe whatever got spread doesn't go throughout the whole plant,or it might depend on the particular plant. I've had plants not hurt by the black spots,others almost died or did die eventually. Hope you find out what critter did the feeding. I'd go with one of the many sucking beetles though. The dark in your pic of the place where your leaf meets the stem is normal coloration(bottom of the pic). I never could see any difference but some guys swear by adding an aspirin or 2 to their water to fight viruses. I've found,in general I kill more plants with love than if I sucked it up(my protective instincts for my plants) and just kept thing going as usual. |

The Global Intelligence Files
On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.

-- Santiago El Mercurio reports on 22 August that Argentine President
Cristina Fernandez will visit Chile on 23 October to participate in
ceremonies marking the Chilean Independence Day. (Santiago El Mercurio

conservative daily, belonging to the Edwards family media group; URL:
http://diario.elmercurio.com/ ) Foreign Minister Advises Chileans Against
Traveling to Syria
-- The official website of the Chilean Foreign Ministry reports on 19
August that that Foreign Ministry of Chile has been continuously following
up on the serious situation of violence in Syria with the purpose of ass
isting Chileans residing or temporarily staying in that country. The
Foreign Ministry thus advises Chileans nationals against traveling to
Syria until things go back to normal in that country. (Chilean Foreign
Ministry website. Root URL as of filing date: http://www.minrel.cl) Pinera
Makes In-Depth Analysis of Student Conflict
-- Santiago El Mercurio on 21 August carries an interview with President
Sebastian Pinera by Eduardo Sepulveda M. President Pinera makes an
in-depth analysis of the situation caused by the student conflict and its
demands, criticizes the opposition, but thanks it for its support to
discuss bills in Congress. In addition, President Pinera makes a call "for
taking care of our country, let us take care of what we have built
together." (OSC is translating this item as LAP20110822010001) Alliance
Lawmakers Endorse Pinera's Remarks; Coalition Parliamentarians Disagree
With Pinera
-- Santiago El Mercurio reports on 22 August that in th e interview
published by El Mercurio on 22 August, President Pinera distanced himself
from pro-statist education models and, quite to the contrary, he defended
a "teachers' society" in which the private sector has the possibility of
"carrying out undertakings." With a strike organized by the United Workers
Confederation (CUT) as a backdrop, parliamentarians from the Alliance For
Chile and the Coalition of Parties For Democracy have taken sides
regarding Pinera's remarks in the interview. The Alliance members endorsed
Pinera's ideas about the possibility that the private sector may play an
active role in the education field, keeping in mind the need of quality
education and clear rules of the game in this field. The Alliance has
valued that Pinera clearly expressed his position on key issues about the
student conflict. Among those supporting Pinera's remarks were Independent
Democratic Union (UDI) President Juan Antonio Coloma, National Renewal
(RN) Senato r Francisco Chahuan, UDI Senator Gonzalo Uriarte, and RN
Deputy Cristian Monckeberg. Opposition parliamentarians reacted in
different ways. Senator Jose Antonio Gomez, president of the Radical
Social Democrat Party (PRSD), admitted that Pinera's remarks "are
definitions," but added that he disagrees with them because "there must be
deep changes in the education system." Christian Democracy (DC) President
Ignacio Walker took distance from Pinera's stance regarding the
participation of the private sector in the education field and claimed
that no educational institution receiving public funds should profit from
education. Party For Democracy (PPD) President Carolina Toha said that
Pinera's proposals are mistaken. Pinera Administration To Intensify
Activities To Counterbalance Effects of 48-Hour CUT Strike
-- Santiago El Mercurio on 22 August carries a report by Rienzi Franco
stating that the Pinera administration will intensify its activities
during a week marked by demonstrations. Each minister and deputy minister
will hand out leaflets explaining the changes the executive branch plans
to make to the state-guaranteed loan system to residents of different
cities they will visit on 22-26 August in light of the 48-strike called by
the CUT along with the student movement and other social organizations.
Minister Secretary General of the Presidency Cristian Larroulet explained
that the Pinera administration's cabinet members will be publicly active
on a daily basis to explain people the progress made by the government
program. The ministers were also asked to promote Chile's economic growth,
as well as the rise in job creation and the approval of 68 bills out of
144 bills La Moneda has submitted to Congress. In addition to the
deployment of ministers to counterbalance the effects of the CUT strike,
the executive branch will also place emphasis on law and order during
demonstrations. Minister Chadwick Terms CUT Strike 'Incomp rehensible'
-- Santiago La Tercera reports on 21 August that Minister Secretary
General of Government Andres Chadwick termed the 24-25 August CUT strike
as "incomprehensible" and claimed that the only thing the strike will
bring Chile is "harm." Chadwick called for all Chileans to be
"responsible." Chadwick responded to the Coalition leaders, who confirmed
on 22 August their backing for the CUT strike. Chadwick said that "we want
to call on the presidents of the Coalition parties" because they have been
"ministers in previous administration" and they therefore "know better
than anybody else that the different proposals or grounds for this strike
are matters that have been hanging over Chile for many years." Chadwick
thus called on opposition leaders to take Chile's interests into
consideration and not only the interests of each political party.

Coalition Presidents Lash Out at Hinzpeter
-- Santiago La Tercera reports on 21 August that Coalition leaders have
termed Minister Hinzpeter's remarks harshly criticizing the PS, PPD, and
PRSD presidents for supporting the CUT strike as "imprudent, angry, and
unfortunate." Christian Democracy (DC) President Ignacio Walker said that
Hinzpeter, in his dual role as cabinet chief and interior minister, has
been unsuccessful in those posts. Walker contended that "this is an
administration that does not know how to listen, it only listens to
businessmen, but not to workers or students." Camila Vallejo Says 1
Million People Participate in March; Carabineros Force Says 100,000
Persons Participate in March -- Nadia Cabello and correspondents write in
Santiago El Mercurio on 22 August tha t Student Federation of Chile (Fech)
President Camila Vallejo announced that "we are nearly one million persons
only in Santiago" participating in a march called "Family Sunday For
Education" organized by students, the Association of Professors, and
parents on 21 August. Based on information supplied by the Carabineros
Police Force, the Metropolitan Intendent's Office announced that 100,000
people participated in the cultural event organized as part of the march
at O'Higgins Park. No incidents or arrests were reported during the march.
The march began at 1400 GMT. Children accompanied by their parents
participated in the march that ended in OHiggins Park with the performance
of several actors and musicians. Other similar activities also took place
in other cities like Valparaiso, where nearly 1,000 people participated in
a march, and in Conce pcion, where 15,000 persons marched on Concepcion
University to make a family picnic and attend the live performan ces of
actors and musicians. Student leaders Giorgio Jackson and Camilla Vallejo
visited Gloria Negrete, who has been on a hunger strike for 36 days.
Health Minister Jaime Manalich also visited Negrete in hospital. In a
related report, Consuelo Argandona writes on 22 August in Santiago La
Tercera that the activities lasted seven hours. The organizers of the
march termed the event as successful. Camila Vallejo insisted on the
student movement's demands and called on promoting a referendum. Vallejo
announced that the Student Government Federation (Confech) is working on a
document that backs the technical, economic, and juridical nature of "our
demands" that will be discussed by the rank-and-file members of the
student movement during the week, will be ratified on 27 August, and then
submitted to the authorities. Cultural event at O'Higgins Park

Incidents Reported During Pinera's Visit to Chillan
-- Santiago La Tercera reports on 20 August that a large police contingent
participated in a security operation conducted during a ceremony to mark
an anniversary of the birth of national hero Bernardo O'Higgins attended
by President Pinera in Chillan. The ceremony ended with incidents and 18
arrests. A group of nearly 100 people held a demonstration in support of
the student movement near the place where the ceremony was held. The
demonstrators hurled paint and stones at the Carabineros personnel, but
they used a water cannon. President Pinera participated in the ceremony
accompanied by Defense Minister Andres Allamand and Army Commander Juan
Miguel Fuente-Alba. Finance Minister Admits International Crisis To Affect
Job Creation, Economic Growth
-- Santiago Diario Financiero reports on 22 August that Finance Minister
Felipe Larrain admitted that job creation and Chile's economic growth are
"at risk" because of the international crisis. Larrain, however,
highlighted the solidity of Chile' s economic figures, especially
inflation, but noted that domestic economy is not immune to the
vicissitudes of the world economy. (Santiago Diario Financiero Online in
Spanish - Website of conservative financial daily; URL: http://www.df.cl)
URUGUAY Argentine Foreign Minister Terms Uruguay-Argentina Relations
-- Montevideo La Republica carries an interview with Argentine Foreign
Minister Hector Timerman by Hernan R. Alcaide saying that the
"relationship" with Uruguay "is and will be optimum" and adds that "strong
ties among countries help international organizations to work better."
Timerman terms relations with Uruguay as a "historic relationship in which
we are more than neighbors, as President Jose Mujica has said." Timerman
says that "we currently have an optimum dialogue and we have made progress
in all fields having to do with economic, social, and political
integration between the two countries." Timer man contends that "the
problems of the past have been solved." Timerman points out that "the
conflict with Uruguay is buried" and that the "relationship is and will be
optimum." Timerman says that Jose "Pepe" Mujica's arrival in office gave
the highest level to the relationship through a new dialogue and affirmed
that Mujica's latest visit to Argentina solved all pending issues.
Timerman contended that "we have a very similar vision about the matters
that we are facing and we have the intention of working together."
Timerman says that the most important thing about Mujica's latest visit to
Argentina was the fact that the points included in the presidential
declaration signed at the Anchorena Presidential Ranch in Uruguay have
been fully complied one year later. Timerman adds that hosting the 2030
World Soccer Cub implies building stadiums, construction work, and a lot
of work. (Montevideo La Republica in Spanish - Website of unofficial
mouthpiece of Uruguay's largest political coalition, the leftist Broad
Front; URL: http://www.larepublica.uy.com) Uruguay Reaffirms Commitment To
Fight Asset Laundering, Terrorism
-- The official website of the Presidency of the Republic of Uruguay
reports on 19 August that Presidential Undersecretary Diego Canepa
attended the closing meeting of the Advanced Workshop for Evaluators of
the Financial Action Task Force of South America Against Money Laundering
(GAFISUD) held in Montevideo. GAFISUD representatives insisted on the
importance of coordinating efforts among the countries of the region to
efficiently fight asset laundering and terrorism. Canepa admitted that
coordination among institutions must be improved to avoid the duplication
of efforts and optimize the efficiency of available resources. Canepa said
that Uruguay is concluding the process to draw up a national strategy to
fight asset laundering and the financing of terrorism. Canepa added that U
ruguay has implemented legitimate and clear mechanisms to fight asset
laundering given that this activity affects the security of the State.
Carlos Diaz, president of the Asset Laundering Oversight Committee, termed
the workshop as "fundamental" given that its purpose was exchanging
experience. (Montevideo Presidency of the Republic of Uruguay in Spanish
-- Official website of the Uruguayan Presidency; URL:
http://www.presidencia gub.uy/) Uruguayan Government Holds Negotiations
With US Government To Eliminate Violent Deportations
-- The official website of the Presidency of the Republic of Uruguay
reports on 19 August that Diego Canepa told the Uruguayan media on 19
August that the Uruguayan Government is analyzing with concern the
reiterated reports about the mistreatment Uruguayan receive when they are
deported from the United states. Foreign Minister Luis Almagro explained
on 18 August that Uruguay is monitoring the situation of Uruguayan
nationals depo rted from the United States to find solutions to this
problem. Canepa said that what Uruguay objects is the implementation of
measures within the deportation mechanism, but not the US immigration
regulations. Canepa explains that most cases were reported in the areas of
Elizabeth and Orange in New York, from where up to two Uruguayans per week
have been deported. Minister Almagro explained that he has been closely
watching this situation for several months and agreed with Canepa that he
does not question US laws, but rather the mistreatment suffered by illegal
Uruguayan residents in that country, which includes the impossibility of
immediately contacting consular officials. Diego Caneta

Uruguay Successfully Exports 20 Metric Tons of Wheat to Venezuela
-- Pablo Antunez writes in Montevideo El Pais that an operation whereby
Uruguay has exported approximately 20 metric tons of wheat to Venezuela
for the first time ever was characte rized as a complete success. Uruguay
is now working to export cargo rice, as well as other new innovative
goods, such as grape juice and some kinds of wine in the second half of
the year. Mario Piacenza, director of the International Affairs Unit of
the Livestock Ministry, said that there are great chances of exporting
cargo rice to Venezuela. Uruguay is also interested in exporting to
Venezuela other rice varieties. According to the National Milk Institute,
Venezuela was the destination of more than 50% of Uruguayan cheese during
the first half of the year, followed by Mexico, Brazil, Argentina, and
South Korea. (Montevideo El Pais Digital in Spanish -- Website of

Melissa Rivers interviews with Life & Style magazine to talk about how humiliated she was when she found out ex-boyfriend, Jason Zimmerman, was begging for sex from swingers. Check out the interview, view photos, and find who Melissa is dating now.
Melissa said she was shocked when she found the actor asleep at his computer during a webcam session at an online pornography website. However she admitted she was even more stunned when she discovered he had been trying to persuade swingers to have sex with him. She told Life & Style magazine:
"I was numb. I'd always told him it was fine to watch porn. But to be talking to these women online, that was going too far. He was flirting and establishing relationships.' But that was just the tip of the iceberg, as the next day a reporter told her Jason had been soliciting sex on Craigslist, though he insisted he never actually met up with anyone."
Melissa says, 'The reporter told me Jason wanted to have sex with this strange woman and this strange couple. It wasn't for me to be included. It wasn't a swinger thing.
"It was just for him – and it was humiliating."
The producer, who is appearing with her mother in reality show Joan and Melissa: Joan Knows Best, now believes she has found true love with her porn mogul boyfriend.
She has been dating Vivid Entertainment founder Steven Hirsch since last December, and the relationship has even been backed by her motormouth comic mother. Melissa said:
"Porn is Steven's business, not his life. He makes me laugh."
Her strained relationship with her then boyfriend is one of the featured storyline on her popular reality show. And one of the messy fights which partly caused their break up was captured on camera. The television host and her boyfriend began to fight after he announces he has to miss a family photo shoot scheduled by her mother.
He tells her:
"He adds: 'You're so hormonal and irrational! I don't know why you're getting p******. Go f*** yourself!"
He then makes a shocking parting statement against Melissa's father, Edgar Rosenberg, who committed suicide in 1987. He screams at her: 'I am not Mr. Rivers. I'm not your f****ing father. I'm not going to end up like him!' And on last night's show she having a furious phonecall after discovering he had been using internet pornography.

Can't get any more correct and clearer than Doug's list! I always wonder why Democrats/liberals think that comparing the OWS to the Tea Party gives the former legitimacy: two different animals that are worlds apart in their make up and mission. I am a proud American and a Tea Party lover and find OWS a stinkin' shame–these "occupiers" are not aware they have become useful idiots manipulated by the puppet masters for some sinister plan to destroy this country.

Aren't anti-semitism and racism the same thing? And aren't Gentiles supposed to be the "non-chosen" people (and thus quite likely anti-semitic if only out of envy)? That's what the LSM and the Zionist cheerleaders tend to report, in slightly more sanitized words.

Good point SPG. Doubting the VA Tea Party will get a REFUND of the $10 grand they laid out for add'l Police, Fire Marshalls etc., at the very same PARK.
Let's not forget over-staying their welcome and turning beuatiful parks into Obamavilles/tent cities? When it IS in fact the independent business people that have been -infinitely- more affected by prog policies run amok!

Alternate title: I can be bought
I have needed a creative outlet my whole life, and it just so happens that people will occasionally pay you to write words. After graduating with a degree in professional writing, I went on to experience everything from freelance sports writing and non-profit communications to being an editorial assistant for a professional sports team.
The past seven years I was a writer and editor of national trade publications, each with a circulation of more than 20,000 subscribers, predicting and publishing retail trends in the specialty gift, party and stationery industries. I contributed more than 100 nationally published features a year and was also responsible for all additional editorial content of the magazines, websites and enewsletters.
I'm no longer with the company and currently working freelance.
While my days are spent writing serious content in an effort to pay my mortgage and keep my produce supply fully stocked, my favorite projects allow for creativity and humor, which is why I love having this blog (even though no one pays me to write it.)
My work has been featured multiple times on The Huffington Post, Scary Mommy, Thought Catalog, YourTango, Bustle, The Erma Bombeck Writer's Workshop, In the Powder Room and more.
If you would be interested in my services for freelance writing, editing, etc. please email me at email@example.com.
Despite the picture of me smoking asparagus, I promise I am very professional. I even have a LinkedIn profile that I've yet to find useful:www.linkedin.com/in/abbyheugel818/
After all, my ultimate goal is to become independently wealthy so I can live on an island where I work on my exotic container gardens while tirelessly devoting myself to perfecting the slow motion "Baywatch" jog.
And I'm willing to do anything necessary to make that dream come true…

If you are looking for clinical trials for ulcerative colitis you have come to the right place! As researchers, our goal is to discover new therapies and information about Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD), but most importantly, provide an alternate therapy that helps YOU. We welcome you to the IBD Research Team and encourage you to look at the studies below that you may qualify for. We will update this site periodically, so keep checking this page for new studies. If you have ANY questions or are interested in participating please feel free to call (734) 615-4843 or e-mail email@example.com We hope to hear from you soon!
Enrollment Status: OPEN
Study Coordinator: Kay Sauder
Drug: Etrolizumab, anti-integrin β7 – subcutaneous injection (under the skin)
This is a phase 3 study for patients with moderate to severely active ulcerative colitis who have failed or been intolerant to Remicade® and/or adalimumab. The study medication, etrolizumab, contains a new class of molecules that target the β7 integrin receptor in the lining of the gut to regulate white blood cell trafficking.
The study lasts up to 66 weeks and involves a screening visit, baseline enrollment visit, and follow-up drug administration visits every 4 weeks. Patients are also required to have a colonoscopy done at screening, week 14, and week 66 in order to assess disease activity and response to study medication. Patients who enroll in the study will be randomly assigned to etrolizumab or placebo (inactive medication). All patients have a 20% chance of receiving placebo. After completing the Hickory study, patients have the option to roll over into the open-label portion of the study known as Cottonwood, and receive active study medication for up to 7 years or until the medication is approved by the FDA.
Enrollment status: OPEN
Study Coordinator: Karina Lizzi
Drug: JNJ-54781532, oral medication
This is a phase 2b study for subjects with moderately to severely active ulcerative colitis. This medicine is a JAK inhibitor and is taken orally once or twice daily, depending on the treatment arm. Patients are randomized to 1 of 5 study arms: placebo, 25 mg once daily, 75 mg once daily, 150 mg once daily, or 75 mg twice daily and will be assessed for clinical response at week 8. Those on placebo who are not in clinical response at week 8 will begin treatment with JNJ-54781532 150 mg once daily. The study treatment period will last up to 32 weeks.
Enrollment Status: OPEN
Study Coordinator: Kay Sauder
Drug: Tofacitinib (CP-690,550) – oral medication
This is a phase 3 study of subjects with moderately to severely active ulcerative colitis. The medicine is a JAK inhibitor made by Pfizer. JAK inhibition is a novel approach for treating a variety of autoimmune and inflammatory diseases. JAK inhibitors interrupt signaling downstream of a multiplicity of cytokines, rather than blocking one cytokine at a time, as occurs with anti-TNF or interleukin-6 blockers. It is taken in pill form.
The study lasts 9 weeks and involves a screening visit, a week 0/baseline appointment, and follow-up visits at week 2, week 4, and week 8 to assess response to the medicine. Finally, at week 9 we will assess the subject's eligibility to continue in the program. Those who complete the treatment period and meet the definition of clinical response or clinical remission will be eligible to enter a placebo-controlled maintenance study of 52 weeks (A3921096). Subjects who complete the treatment period but do not meet the definition of clinical response or remission will be eligible to enter an open-label extension study (A3921139), meaning there is no placebo and you are guaranteed active drug.
Enrollment status: OPEN
Study Coordinator: Karina Lizzi
Drug: HUMIRA®
This is a phase 3 study for subjects with moderately to severely active ulcerative colitis to evaluate a high-dose HUMIRA® induction regimen versus a standard-dose induction regimen, followed by high-dose versus standard-dose maintenance therapy. Patients will be randomized in a 1:1 ratio to receive a standard- versus high-induction dose over an 8-week period. At week 8, patients are re-randomized to receive maintenance dosing at 40 mg every week or 40 mg every 2 weeks. The treatment period will last up to 44 weeks.

I'm 37, getting a few fine lines, but overall I have nice, clear skin. I wanted something that would be more hydrating than Estee Lauder Double Wear or Chanel Long Wear, something I could wear under powder for work but on its own for Pilates class at 6 am. This fits the bill. Yes, it's a tiny bit weird going on, but you have to rub it in, more like a skin cream and less like a makeup. The lighter coverage looks more youthful than traditional, heavy foundation. Highly recommended, but keep in mind, my skin tone is very fair ... not sure how it would match darker or more olive complexions, and it only comes in one shade.
Combo, ultra-sensitive, very acne-prone skin. NC15-20/very yellow/olive, Almay Buff, Revlon CS Buff, Lancome Teint Idole Buff 2 (W), MUFE HD 117
As another reviewer mentioned, this stuff feels a little weird going on. Creamy, smooth, blendable and then... not. It's not horrible but it was really weird the first couple of times I used this.
It does go on with a grey tint and it took a little while longer than I expected (about 10 minutes) but it did settle and looked like a perfect match.
This didn't break me out at all.
Unfortunately, this looked awful. It settled into my pores and even though they aren't that big, this stuff made them look HUGE. Even my DH commented and he usually knows better. It also didn't wear well on me at all. I have dehydrated combo skin ATM and this just greased up and slid off within a couple of hours.

I love this. I'm not a huge makeup fan and my skin is pretty good so I really like uncomplicated bases like tinted moisturisers and bb creams. This is so easy to apply with your hand for even coverage. Also you can use it all year round as the shade adapts to your skincolour whether you're pastey white in winter or glowing in the summer! I got in on a deal in boots for £11 and i think its usually about £18 which i wouldnt mind paying as I dont feel 'clogged up' by this and it supposedly has skincare benefits. I wear this most days, but my skin is still in good enough condition to have no makeup days. I will defo repurchase & maybe try some of the other line too!
More reviews by HoneyCosmetics
This is the only beauty balm i actually like! I have oily skin so i was excited to see this was water based and not super oily. I love the finish and the way it glides on BUT as usual for many BB creams i've tried yet again it doesn't do as it claims! It's a nice coverage but all of my blemishes etc can still be seen, as i always say this is like a light foundation to me, the colour was great though, it blends right in and i found it matched my skin tone pretty well. It's also not as greasy as other BB creams so its pretty okay if you have oily skin (still youd need to powder it!) i would definitely repurchase!
its a great moisturising light texture bb cream but good coverage, one of the better bb cream i must say
I first got this as a sample size in a Glossybox (UK) and I had never really heard of BB cream/beauty balm & I was interested to try it. As it was the only BB cream I had tried, I think it's fair to say I re-purchased it due to no comparison with any other BB cream. The packaging is so simple yet works so well, and I love how it's different colours for different types of the cream! The coverage isn't that good considering it can be used alone as foundation, I find that you have to use many layers of it to have good coverage, but as for my skin, it really has worked wonders. It's made it softer, smoother and works amazing with my foundation on top. Definitely glad it found me!
I'm currently using the Dr Jart Most moist BB cream brought from Hong Kong, so I presume this one is targeted at asian skins.
When used with well hydrated and skin that only needs very light coverage, this bb cream is very good. Skin looks almost, yet because of its light consistency/semi sheer and looks and feels like you are wearing no makeup.
When i use this in London, UK, it can look a bit cakey as my skin is dryer in UK weather conditions (Hong Kong is humid!). just make sure skin is well moisturised before application.
I've also tried the international version brought from Boots stores in London,UK. coverage is medium and again, with well hydrated skin looks flawless. However, if you are looking to cover blemishes, bb creams in general won't work as well as a regular foundation.
I wear little makeup and this is really good if you dont have too troublesome skin and want a more even complexion.
More reviews by SorceressOfTheDark
I found this to be quite blendable with a sponge but not with a foundation brush. It looked very natural on my fair skin, blending seamlessly without a problem at all. It hydrated well, but then again, I use other products to hydrate my skin underneath as well. As far as coverage, I wasn't expecting much and don't want much at all, just enough to give my skin an overall glow. That's what Dr. Jart's does for me. Gives me enough of a finish that I top off with some mineral powder and I'm good to go. It lasts for the day happily enough for me without settling into any fine lines, which also pleases me. Will I repurchase? I'm always looking to try something new and although I do like this product I'm not sure that I would repurchase definitely. I'd rather go with something with a higher spf, but that's my only complaint. As far as others saying the color is off/grayish-looking, I didn't have that problem. I'm extremely fair and light and the color just seemed to work for me.

More reviews by littlelolaballe
I have to say after reading many positive reviews on this product, I was a little disappointed.
First of all the positives:
It feels light on skin
Doesn't feel like you are wearing make-up
Doesn't highlight dry patches
The colour gives my complexion a greyish tinge (rather than desired healthy glow)
The cream doesn't seem to blend; as I try to blend it in, it seems to move around my skin and not sink in?
It doesn't quite feel moisturising, it's so watery it doesn't seem to moisturise
After struggling to blend it in, some areas just won't blend and those areas end up looking as though there is some sort of weird grey mud on my face?
Anyway I don't really know what skin type I could recommend this too, I wasn't to fond of it unfortunately. Luckily there was an offer so I didn't have to pay the full price.

Former Ellicott City Man Indicted in $17 Million Online Ponzi Scheme
Allegedly Used Fraud Proceeds to Purchase Numerous Luxury Vehicles
Baltimore, Maryland - A federal grand jury indicted Byron Keith Brown, age 32, of Vienna, Virginia, formerly of Ellicott City, Maryland, today in a five year scheme to fraudulently obtain over $17 million from online investors, announced United States Attorney for the District of Maryland Rod J. Rosenstein.
"The indictment alleges that Byron Brown used the internet to make it appear as if he was running an investment management business for wealthy investors, when in fact he was stealing millions of dollars from investors and using it to buy a fleet of luxury cars," said U.S. Attorney Rod J. Rosenstein. "In addition to sentencing criminals to prison, our goal is to seize any assets purchased with criminal proceeds."
According to the 10 count indictment, Brown was the chief executive officer for companies called In God We Trust (IGT) Financial Services, IGT Investment Company, IGT Wealth Management Group, and WM Private Equity Fund, Inc. Brown was not licensed as a broker, dealer or investment advisor in Maryland, Virginia or the District of Columbia.
The indictment alleges that from 2003 to 2009, Brown operated websites in which he falsely: held himself out as having 10 years experience in financial services and securities industries when in fact he had filed personal bankruptcy in 1999; and claimed to have offices in Washington, D.C., Wilmington, Delaware, New York, NY, and London, England, when in fact he had rented a mailbox or services at a virtual office that provided telephone answering services and mail forwarding services to clients. Brown allegedly advertised on his websites that the basic investment required was a minimum of $1 million. He used computer software to create an illusion that the investor was logging into a banking website and viewing account information when in fact, the account numbers were made up. Brown found investors through his websites and referrals.
The indictment further alleges that Brown had opened some bank accounts in the names of investors, but Brown retained a power of attorney over the accounts, managed all the money that was invested, controlled investment decisions and deprived investors of information about their accounts. At times, Brown allegedly used funds from new investors to make payments to old investors and to conceal his diversion of investors' monies.
Brown is alleged to have used the investors' money to purchase a 2004 Bentley, a 2005 Rolls Royce Phantom, a 1936 Auburn Speedster, a 2007 BMW, a 1997 Jaguar and a 2006 Aston Martin.
The indictment seeks forfeiture of $17 million, the amount Brown is alleged to have caused investors to invest in his companies. To date, the government has seized 16 vehicles, including some of the vehicles described above, as well as a 2007 Lamborghini, a 2008 Maserati, two Mercedes and a 2002 Ferrari.
Brown faces a maximum sentence of 20 years in prison and a $250,000 fine for each of the five counts of wire fraud; and 10 years in prison and a fine of twice the amount laundered for each of the five counts of money laundering. Brown had his initial appearance in federal district court in Baltimore today and was detained pending a detention hearing on Monday, June 15 at 2:30 p.m.
An indictment is not a finding of guilt. An individual charged by indictment is presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty at some later criminal proceedings.
United States Attorney Rod J. Rosenstein thanked the Internal Revenue Service, Criminal Investigation for its investigative work and commended Assistant United States Attorney Joyce McDonald, who is prosecuting the case.
