Richard Montgomery High School (RMHS) (#201) is a secondary public school located in Rockville, Maryland. Richard Montgomery High School is named for Richard Montgomery, an American General who died while attempting to capture the British-held city of Quebec City, Quebec during the American Revolutionary War. The school is usually referred to by either its full name, or by the acronym "RM" in everyday parlance by its students and alumni, presumably because shortening it to Montgomery would be too vague, and also perhaps to distinguish it from Montgomery Blair High School in Silver Spring. Over the years, Richard Montgomery has won awards for being the number one school in Montgomery County and Maryland state.[citation needed] Intel Science Talent Search finalists, national essay competition winners, and multiple Presidential Scholars have been recent graduates of RM.
The school houses Montgomery County's first International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme (IB). This competitive-entry magnet program draws students from all over Montgomery County and has an IB diploma rate of 99%, the highest in the United States of its kind.[1] It also includes the International Baccalaureate Middle Years Programme (MYP), in which freshmen and sophomores take rigorous classes. The average class size is 24.8, although this number has recently been increasing, with a student to staff ratio of 12.8:1.[2]
Richard Montgomery also offers students the Middle Years Programme (MYP) curriculum. This program is mandatory to all students who attend Julius West Middle School, which is the sole Middle School that feeds into the High School. The MYP program stresses "life long learning," "critical thinking," and "responsible global citizenship." It is a five-year program designed for students in grades 6–10. Upon completion, students can apply to enroll in the IB programme.
In 2007, Richard Montgomery was featured in Newsweek magazine as the 27th highest-rated high school in the nation.[3] In June 2002, it won its first award in National Scholastic Championship at George Washington University. Richard Montgomery High School won the 2003 "Blue Ribbon in Education Award" by the United States Department of Education. RM has been identified as the number one school in the D.C. metropolitan area in the Challenge Index for Rigor. Richard Montgomery has also had multiple Marian Greenblatt Education Fund award winners teachers.[4]
Upon graduation, 79.2% of the class of 2008 planned for only post-secondary education,14.5% for post-secondary education and employment, 1.1% planned to go straight into the workforce and 1.4% into the military. There was a 92.1% attendance rate and a 2.0% drop out rate in 2002-2003.
The student body of 2008-2009 was 42.4% White, 24.5% Asian, 17% African American, 15.9% Hispanic, and 0.2% American Indian.[5] Currently 2,150 students are enrolled and approximately 15.6% of the student body is eligible for free/reduced lunches.
History and campus[edit]
Rockville High School was established in 1892, when the state Board of Education first allocated funds to local school to educate high school students. The first class graduated from Rockville High School in 1897.
A new high school was constructed and opened for use in September 1905 on East Montgomery Avenue and Monroe Street. An addition was built in 1917, expanding the school to 19 classrooms. Rockville Colored High School was opened in 1927.[6] The school for white children was renamed Richard Montgomery High School to distinguish between the two in 1935.[7]
The building was completed in 1942 at 49,167 sq ft (4,567.8 m2), after a fire destroyed the old high school in 1940. Additions to the school were made in 1952 at 39,895 sq ft (3,706.4 m2), 1959 at 37,425 sq ft (3,476.9 m2), in 1964 at 56,703 sq ft (5,267.9 m2), 1969 at 4,000 sq ft (370 m2), 1975 at 35,890 sq ft (3,334 m2), 1976 at 8,300 sq ft (770 m2), and 1988 at 1,938 sq ft (180.0 m2). A new 311,500 sq ft (28,940 m2) building, completed in December 2007, was built on the athletic fields. The old 233,318 sq ft (21,676.0 m2) building was demolished over the summer of 2008, and new athletic fields were created on the site of the old building. Until a few months into the 2008-2009 school year, all athletic practices and games were held at other sites. The current campus is 26.2 acres (106,000 m²) in size.[1][8]
In April 2008 stories appeared in the news in the Washington Post,[9] the Montgomery County Gazette,[10] and the Montgomery Sentinel.[11] alleging that the school principal, Mr. Moreno Carrasco, had been running a private business on school time and that he was using materials that appeared to be plagiarized from a seminar that he had attended at school district expense. Carrasco went on extended sick leave.
During Carrasco's absence, the RMHS newspaper, The Tide, requested that administrators approve publication of an article about the investigation into Carrasco's alleged ethics violations and business endeavors. Assistant Principal Veronica McCall denied permission for publication of the article, but was overridden by Community Superintendent Dr. Sherry Liebes after The Tide editors announced that they would go public with news of the denial.[12] The article was finally published online on April 24, 2008.[13]
On June 10, 2008, Montgomery County Public Schools announced that Carrasco had been named the new director of secondary leadership training. The announcement also stated that the allegations about Carrasco's involvement in private consulting were "thoroughly investigated" and "not substantiated".[14]
On June 23, 2008, Nelson McLeod II was named the new principal of Richard Montgomery High School.[15] He left the position in May 2014 after suffering a cardiac medical condition,[16] and was subsequently replaced by Damon Monteleone in July 2014.[17]
Richard Montgomery opened its new $71 million building following the end of students' 2007 Winter Break. The new building features wireless internet to the teachers, LCD projectors in every classroom, dozens of Promethean interactive whiteboards and learner response devices, a modern auditorium, and a good quality recording and TV studio. The new facilities lack the capability to access older forms of media, such as material on VHS and photographic slides; however, teachers sometimes bring in their own video players to rectify the problem.
The school has an artificial turf stadium next to tennis courts and a track. The location where the former school stood is the current location of the baseball fields.

Other Activities[edit]
Richard Montgomery has its own student newspaper, "The Tide" and an award winning student literary magazine "Fine Lines". Among numerous other awards, "The Tide" received First Place with Special Merit from the America Scholastic Press Association in 2013[18] and a Gold Medal from Columbia Scholastic Press Association in 2012. Its literary magazine, Fine Lines, has won multiple awards.
Richard Montgomery's quizbowl team (known as It's Academic) has won numerous awards and honors, including a victory at the National Scholastics Championship in 2002.[19] In 2006, they won the NAQT High School National Championship Tournament in Chicago, defeating State College Area High School in the final.[20]
In 2011, Senior Raynell Cooper won the Teen Jeopardy! tournament. His total over the two day final was $45,200 and he received the $75,000 grand prize.[21]
Richard Montgomery's International Space Settlement Design Competition team won the 2008 cycle at Houston, Texas.[22]
The Richard Montgomery Robotics program operates two teams which compete in the FIRST Tech Challenge. In April 2014, Richard Montgomery Robotics qualified a team for the FIRST Championships in St. Louis, MO, where the team earned the second place Inspire Award- second place overall, and the best overall finish of any US team that year.[23]
The most skilled ensembles such as the Madrigals, a chamber choir, and the Jazz Band often travel off campus to perform at various venues. RMHS' marching band, the Marching Rockets, is also an integral part of the fall football season.
The school also has a long tradition of student-led a cappella groups which rehearse on their own and perform both at official venues such as the choral concerts and unofficial venues such as the coffeehouses hosted by Fine Lines, the school's award-winning literary magazine.
The largest extracurricular club in the school is the Black Maskers Drama Club, boasting a membership of approximately 200. Members of Black Maskers may, upon participation in a sufficient number of shows in various capacities, become members of the International Thespian Society Troupe #1748.
Honor Societies[edit]
The school also has seven honors societies. These include the National Honors Society, the Alejo Carpentier chapter of the Spanish Honors Society, the French Honors Society, the Chinese Honors Society, the Social Studies Honors Society (Rho Kappa), the "Science National Honors Society" and the Tri-M Music Honors Society. In fall 2008, a chapter of the Mu Alpha Theta Math National Honors Society was added, and in fall 2009 an "Art Honors Society" was formed.

The school's Model United Nations team, with a membership of approximately 100, trains for, attends, and succeeds at conferences up and down the East Coast. RM delegates have won multiple Model UN awards and Best Delegate gavels.
Student Government and Politics[edit]
RM's student body is represented through the Student Government Association (SGA), whose officers are elected each April. The student body at large is represented through a system of delegates who attend monthly General Assemblies. The SGA officers appoint an Executive Board to help in community service projects and special events. Additionally, each grade elects four officers every April. RM also has politically oriented clubs such as Young Democrats, Young Republicans, and Junior State of America.

+ residentsHum + Buzz take over the Peckham Palais with another line up specially curated by label bosses Ikonika and Optimum.
Top of the bill is Bok Bok, an artist who's left an indelible mark on the London club scene. With the L-Vis 1990, he runs the influential Night Slugs label and clubnight. As a producer and DJ, Bok Bok's sound remains at the cutting edge of underground club culture, simultaneously referencing the sonic heritage of 8 bar grime and classic Chicago house music. He also designs the majority of Hum + Buzz artwork, making it fitting that he should come through and bless the decks at their sophomore party.
Shy One takes the low slung framework of UK Funky and infuses it with her own fizzing synths and off-key melodies. Her unique sound caught the attention of Scratcha DVA, who released her debut album Bedknobs and Boomkicks on his label late last year. The album is a tightly infectious package bubbling with ideas, and acts as strong calling card for the young London based producer.
Finally we have Morgan Zarate, the brains behind the dazzling Hookid and Broken Heart Collector EPs for Hyperdub. The former Spacek producer uses his roots in soul and hip hop to craft infectiously psychedelic R&B cuts, and his DJ sets are not to be missed.
Support on the night comes from Ikonika and Optimum, as well as the LDN DC.residents. -

[knocking on wood] 42 years and counting without having been called for jury duty. Of course, for ten or fifteen years, few people knew my actual address. My mail went to the office (in another state), my utilities were not in my name, my neighbors knew only my first name, my cars were tagged at non-current addresses (most of that time), and my friends who did know where I lived and my last name knew better than to share that information. It was liberating. Had the Secret Service agents been looking for me, rather than my roommate, they would have never tracked me down (stupid roomie and his loud-mouthed but well-intentioned buddies). I have wondered how many errant letters calling me for jury duty may have ended up at some former or fictitious address. Nowadays, i'm easier to find but better armed and prepared.
Dead Bears, the only good kind.
Thanks for the post. I'm ticked that there's NO media coverage of it.
These last few days have been exhausting. Switching from days to nights is a butt. And working 12hr dogs with bronchitis sucks. And tomorrow I'm pulling a security detail for a college football game so I'll be in this godforsaken heat all day and jack my sleep schedule up even more. But hey! At least I will have the entertainment of all the drunks I'll be escorting out of the stadium. And probably a few kids throwing bottles over the side of the stadium trying to hit people waiting in line to get in. Drunks and kids, guaranteed to help you pass the time. Also guaranteed to say something stupid and make you shake your head and giggle like a schoolgirl for the rest of the day. My favorite: We'd been getting "gorilla" calls all night from the same area. Some idiot in a costume some people said and a "real gorilla" other people said. A CCP holder had almost shot him in the drive through at Jack in the box. (Scared the $;$/&/ out of the poor guy. He actually drew down on him.) Anyway I caught the guy red handed in a full gorilla suit chasing several women around the Walmart Parking lot. Of course it ended up being a juvenile. I rather unkindly instructed the kid to take off the mask and sit on the curb on his hands and he looks at me with these huge innocent calf eyes and says "But Officer, WHAT DID I DO?!" I had to bite my tongue to keep from laughing. I told him to think about it for a few minutes and let me know when he had an answer. He figured it out pretty quick. Maybe tomorrow somebody will top that one. If they do I'll post it here.

Manufacturer's Description
Two words you rarely use when describing an e-mail program: "simple" and "safe." Delta Mail's clean interface is a throwback to the days when e-mail programs weren't cluttered with icons, toolbars, and menus, and it's as easy to set up as it is to use: Just enter your SMTP and POP3 servers, your e-mail address, and your user name and password. What really sets Delta Mail apart is its automatic encryption of outgoing messages (including the subject line and attachments) using a 256-bit algorithm that doesn't require digital IDs. Choosing Delta Mail also gives you a level of protection from most e-mail viruses simply because most virus writers target Outlook and Outlook Express.

You dont need to be illuminated to understand that which your eyes can see. However, denial closes those eyes and you see nothing. The media and entertainment industry have been selling or demise to us for decades. They exaggerate and sensationalize things to make them appear as fantasy or somehow enticing. The matrix ís one that anyone can cite. Human beings are batteries? Thats crazy, but its happening. Nanotechnology is starting to surface as a premier science. Revelations describes beasts with the teeth of lions and the tails of a scorpion biting and stinging rising out of the bottomless pit and blacjening the sky. Those beasts are a form of this self-evolving tech. Currently it incorporates chemtrail dispersals which are tagging you and self-replicating. Did anyone think they'd ask if you wanted to be "chipped?" Those same fibers replicate and construct other nanodevices with seperate applications. Those other devices biomine for elements like iron. That iron is used for respiration of bio-engineered kirigami spliced bacteria. After respiration the iron becomes oxidized and privides a more valueable element. Iron oxide is supramagnetic which can be manipulated in a variety of ways. MRI machines use this process to photograph your insides, but could be used to supress or neutralize you. Chemtrails are dispersed in the sky for a number of reasons. Dispersal fibers contain supercunductive mobius strip solar cells pairIRASed with fiber optics. Allowing for blocking the sky below or rendering of holographic imagery. Project blue beam. Some also believe Nibiru is a myth but the pile of evidence suggests otherwise. See IRAS and also brown dwarf. The evidence suggesting is outer planets having rings, retrograde orbits, earth's tilt, asteroid belt(s), oort cloud, comet trajectories and pluto. Not only is Nibiru evident, but it is destructive. Most plantetary systems tend to be binary ones and low mass moons are ill fated. Revelations mentions the sun blacked out and the moon turning red as sackcloth. Brown dwarfs are low-luminosity and red. It mentions time stopping, no rotation; death leaving-zombies; The opening of the bottomless pit, bermuda/dragon triangle vortex; and also the planets will fold up into the sun like scrolls. Did anybody ever notice that hell sounds strikingly similar to the surface of a star? That hell will be destroyed. Nibiru represents a balanced equation in a planetary system. Not only dies it exsist but it is necessary. See ancient sumeria, nibiru/marduk. I believe that wr tell ourselves that we are technology a technologically advanced society, but in reality we are the same as ancient sumerians attending mystery schools and being tricked by fallen angels to believe they are terrestrials trying to save us. Its what the gargoyle statue at the DIA-being looked down on by "protectors" because we are spiritually naieve. AuAg doesnt represent hep b. It stands for the longevity of life and good health through the consumption of gold and silver. Ever notice how the three wise men came bearing frankinscence/myhrr, gold and silver? Jesus used the frankinscence as a vessel for prayer, but why did he want money? He cooked fragments into his food to kill microorganisms as silver is used to dip surgical tools as an antiseptic. Thats why the current interest fir gold and silver-to keep you from getting it.

Well look, there's not much point in arguing over how much of a fanbase there was before Robotech. I think you quite overstate it's size. I highly doubt there is any kind of factual information in existence to confirm or deny this though so we must simply agree to disagree. That said, it can be demonstrated factually that, there was no significant anime industry before Robotech and only a couple super-niche releases before Akira. There really hadn't been any major attempt to sell animation to an older audience and to sell it in the way they did. Yes, there was a developing manga industry. However, while people's interest may cross over allowing for some cross promotion, as a business they are quite different. There was already a thriving comic industry. It was also one that had been steadily shifting toward an older audience. The introduction of manga was less breaking totally new ground and more just the introduction of a somewhat different product to an existing industry. I mean despite this, I'll certainly still give Viz a ton of credit for largely starting the manga industry. When it comes to the anime industry though, they've done relatively little to advance it. Yes, the existance of the early manga industry helped, but so did dozens of other factors. The biggest aspect in actually creating an industry for anime was Macek and his companies. |

ABetterTimeandPlace Posts: 101 |
World Event Productions and Voltron existed before Robotech. As Macek acknowledged, the big success of Voltron on TV is what prompted Harmony Gold to jump onto the bandwagon and produce Robotech a year later. This fact shouldn't be forgotten. |

That's my bad, I've been marathoning the first two seasons of ST ToS with little sleep >.<b I meant to add that I was talking about them in the market simultanously, with prices adjusted accordingly for the decrease that inevitably comes with the decrease in demand for the older releases. Obviously if we go by MSRP that colors the comparison as the second sets can be produced and sold cheaper with a better margin. Never the less, as I said, Sentinels and RT 3000 have sold better than most series despite not even having been green-lit. |
Back to top | ||||
ABetterTimeandPlace Posts: 101 |
So we have one bonus that was in two out of four DVD releases--one being the most expensive and the other being the least expensive. We have another bonus that is so insignificant that a customer didn't remember which release it was on. Claiming that these two bonuses "sold better" simply because they were bundled with something else defies not only economic sense, but also common sense. |

ikillchicken Space Cowboy Posts: 7053 Location: Vancouver |
Oh I agree which is why I would consider Akira to be the real title that jump started the industry. Robotech was sort of semi-industrial. It was largely similar to earlier pre-industry titles where they were just trying to take an individual show that they thought could be shown on TV here but with some key differences. For instance, I feel like Robotech was the first of those early shows with a somewhat more serious appeal and attract older fans in large numbers. More than anything else though it was Macek's recognition of this trend and his and choice to cater to it (and ability to position his product to do so on a large scale) that really made things happen. |
Back to top | ||||
Treiz Posts: 99 |
Uh, no, it's simple numbers. Series A sold x number of discs, and series B sold y. |
Back to top | ||||
ABetterTimeandPlace Posts: 101 |
An oversimplification. We're not talking about "Series A," we're talking about "Bonus C that was bundled with Series A, but not always, and even some ardent customers of Series A forgot Bonus C was there." |
Back to top | ||||
Treiz Posts: 99 |
For the purposes of this thread, yes. I found it ironic that despite their maligned status among fans, and perhaps especially Robotech fans, that Sentinels and RT 3000 have sold more than most highly cherished shows. to the point where they COULD be considered commercial successes. |

So let me get this straight: you've been leaving comment after comment on my blog (all of which I'm forced to delete as criminally off-topic/spam) regarding how Avatar is somehow James Cameron ripping off of Aura Battler Dunbine...and you've never even SEEN Aura Battler Dunbine?! I see. This neatly encapsulates your Internet M.O. while simultaneously demonstrating how and why this thread has degenerated into like 6 pages of you posting your typical incendiary statements without one shred of proof or factual accuracy, which inevitably results in people pointing out with great specificity that you're wrong and how you're wrong, followed by you then shifting the goalposts without missing a beat so the process may repeat itself, thinking "dance, my puppets! DANCE!" all the while. |

I agree with that. Fuzzy wording on his part. No one would ever doubt that Viz was doing great though, despite some bad sellers here and there. Clearly not "barely getting by". |

I have done a few tours of various countries with different tour companies and have found that the success of a tour depends on your guide. Huseyin was friendly helpful and extremely knowledgable. I liked how he didn't overwhelm you with too many facts or details and never felt pushed for time @ exhibits. Also our driver Yilmaz was fabulous. He was professional and I always felt safe.

HP rolls out ZBook workstations
The HP ZBook 14 and 15u Workstation Ultrabooks are designed for desktop performance, graphics and IT management in a lightweight package.
The HP ZBook 14 and 15u Workstation Ultrabooks are designed for desktop performance, graphics and IT management in a lightweight package.
Dell is ramping up its storage product line with high-performance enterprise capabilities, including all-flash and hyper-converged appliances.
The new 15.6-inch notebook mixes performance prowess with portability, though it doesn't come cheap at a starting price of $1,499.99.
The $299 external box can house a full length, dual-height card to give the new Alienware 13 notebook a graphics boost via a proprietary connector.
The new lineup is being marketed as both a workstation and a gaming notebook, complete with a quad-core Intel Core i7 processor and Nvidia GeForce GTX 860M graphics.
Visual computing technology provider Nvidia will be bringing its GRID virtual GPU to selected Chromebooks and VMware vSphere to ensure that customers have access to high-performance graphics on their virtualised desktops.
The company claims its latest professional graphics cards can deliver twice the performance of their predecessors.
Unlike the company's beefier 14-inch sibling, the new notebook weighs in at just 4.5 pounds and is an inch thick, while featuring an Intel Core processor and an Nvidia GeForce GTX 860M graphics card.
XPS has the power, performance and features you want with vivid displays, fast processors and GPU's, and more. Now get $150 off and free shipping w/ code 71QNX$W0XZ7GWF!
Samsung announced today that Dell is offering the first Non-Volatile Memory express PCIe SSD in the new R920 server. Need to squeeze every bit of performance from your servers? This is good news. Here's why.
Spotfire Mobile Metrics can collate and analyse your BI data and deliver the key metrics needed to monitor business performance direct to a notebook, smartphone or tablet.
AMD's graphics and gaming unit carried the quarter, which saw the chipmaker return to profitability, while PC and notebook sales continued to dwindle.
The new notebook, revealed at Siggraph 2013, will ship with Intel Haswell processor and Nvidia Quadro graphics options in a 4.5-pound, 0.7-inch body.
Nvidia's new Quadro K6000 GPU delivers five-times higher compute performance and nearly double the graphics capability of its predecessor.
Eurocom's 15.6in. high-performance notebook gets the 4th-Generation Intel Core (Haswell) upgrade, and delivers the goods in terms of specification and speed. The design is uninspiring, though, and it's also bulky and heavy.
The new Alienware 14, 17, 18 models are built from anodized aluminum and magnesium alloy and feature Nvidia's new GeForce GTX 700 series notebook graphics.
Dell stressed its uber-small, entry-level workstations will offer higher performance for "desktop PC prices."
Dell brings forth new networking products as fruit of their Force 10 acquisition
My Dell XPS 13 is about to be retired, and so it is time for a new notebook. After a lot of careful consideration, I've decided it is time to make the switch from Windows to a Mac.
Taiwanese PC vendor slips from third to fourth position in the last quarter of 2012 due to weak demand leading to rising inventory levels.

Removed the ice bucket assembly and attempted to dismantle and re-assemble it the same as newafter replacing the auger. I wish the part was shipped with replacement instructions because a simple job turned into a major headache for me because of the following:1) I did not realize that the the nylon nut at the end of the auger rod assembly has a reverse thread. By the time I had it removed using vice-grip pliers and a bench vice.....the nut threads were stripped.2) When removing the nylon washers, spacers, metal cutters from the old auger rod, I grabbed the entire grouping hoping to drop them on the new auger rod as a group. While doing so, the pieces slipped out of my hand and It was very difficult to find the correct order of configuration even with the on-line parts photo. I would recommend that you number each part before removing them from the rod because there is only 1 way all of these pieces can be re-assembled to work as designed.

Taylor Swift Hangs With Her Girls During New Music Video Shoot
Taylor Swift shot a new music video in Malibu yesterday. She ran on the beach with a group of young women, took part in a human pyramid, and later rode around in a shopping cart in a parking lot. Taylor didn't say which song she was making the video for, but she did reveal that the cast she filmed with was made up of her friends. She tweeted earlier today, "Leaving LA now after the best day with my friends. Almost forgot it was a video shoot. Can't wait for you guys to see it." While Taylor was excited to talk about her new video, she kept mum on the stir she caused earlier this week when she allegedly called out ex-boyfriend Harry Styles during her Grammys performance.

Taylor, you totally disappointed me showing your immaturity during the Grammys. You must always be the bigger person in a break up and never, ever let the man who hurt you know just how deeply. I hung my head in sham for you. Guard your tongue doll. It doesn't make you look good in the public eye. Even if you don't care. The parents who help get your fans to your shows, can hurt your career, by not getting these younger fans you depend on to your shows. Easy does it girl. Other wise, rock on. Love you, love your music.

Boy this miracle oil is the best!! I use Cetaphil with drops of argan oil and my face just drinks in the organic wonder oil. I mean my skin is so moisturizered, smooth, and glowing. I just love this oil. I use it on my face, hands, lips, feet, & hair. I swear by this oil. I love all Josie's products, they're so pure and good for you they become addicting.

I tried this as part of a package - using it as a substitute for the jojoba oil I usually mix with moisturizer during the winter. This is much runnier, doesn't seem as smooth, and I saw no difference in my skin to justify the high price for this small bottle. Going back to the jojoba oil as it's a better value.

I have bought the small size of this several times. It lasts awhile and I don't resent spending the money. I enjoy using it more than gunky health food store bottles that are less expensive but have stronger fragrances. (I could be deluded about the difference.) I'm amazed by the way this moisturizes without any pore clogging issues. I love it, although I'm not as happy with some of the scented products in the line. Rose Geranium just isn't a personal favorite of mine -- and how did she manage to come up with a mineral sunscreen that smells like chemical sunscreen?

This is a really nice oil, although I think it would be just as nice from any other brand, brands that are much cheaper but selling the same item.
I like to use this in the summer on my hair after I take a shower, as a styling product. It is a lot like Kerastase Elixir Ultime in that it calms down frizz, makes hair really soft and gives hair some body.
I have also used this on my face and I am of mixed results. It is really moisturizing but I stopped using it a while back because I thought it was giving me a little bit of acne. I've started to use it again on my face to see if it really causes my acne or if it's something else.
Overall this is a really nice product, but something that you could get for much cheaper.
EDIT: this done not cause acne at all. This is great, and I will never go without it again!
I got a small size of this at Sephora for $14. I used it faithfully on my face, in my hair, a little bit on my arms and legs but after two months I have to admit that I don't find this oil a bit moisturizing. My hair is fine and very curly, this did not do anything to make it softer, did not stop frizz, etc. Argan oil is nice in that it doesn't sit on top of your skin, it is absorbed quicker than a lot of other oils. But in the end I don't think it accomplishes anything it says it is going to. I also find Josie Maran's prices to be so expensive as to be ridiculous. If you like argan oil and find it works for you, it can be purchased (organic, unscented) from vendors on Amazon for a fraction of the cost of this brand.

I got a deluxe sample of this from sephora a few months ago, and I'm only half way through. I use it every night before I go to bed and it is amazing. My skin is so moisturized and much smoother. I have acne prone sensitive skin, and this didn't break me out at all. It actually seems to have helped my acne. My skin is much more even, and I notice fine lines are diminished under my eyes. I have also used this on the ends of my hair, as well as on cuts...I find it reduces redness and promotes healing very well. I highly recommend this product, and when my sample runs out I will definitely be buying more! I love it and have noticed a huge change!
i bought this for the treatment qualities as opposed to any moisturizing qualities. It can actually be drying which is surprising. Have you ever noticed when a wound is healing it can get slightly dry and itchy? This is what I found at first with this oil. since it definitely did not feel like an allergic reaction (not inflammed or red, just a bit itchy/dry). so I thought it very possible that the oil was treating/healing my "wounded" skin and decided to keep using it. I didn't care for the itches but wanted to continue with the treatment, so I added a few drops to EMU oil and WOW!!! that combo is miraculous. my skin looks and feel 10 years younger!!

I have normal to dry skin and I've been looking for an alternative way to moisturize without using any creams. I bought this because I've heard such great things about argan oil. This oil works beautifully! I apply it in the evening before bed and wake up to gorgeous skin, so much so that I forgo my BB cream and just apply a bit of blush. It keeps my skin amazingly moisturized without making it look oily and I love that it's way more natural than most moisturizing creams. The bottle is great too. I bought the smaller version at Sephora, as 50 bucks seemed a little much for a bigger bottle but I'm sure it will still last me a while, as 3 drops suffice. I've used this in the morning as well, as Canadian winters can be pretty harsh and it works just as well, only I'd recommend applying it a good 10-15 minutes before makeup application (unless you use a scant drop), so that it has time to fully penetrate.
Just switched by skin care to the Josie Maran 4 piece set. You was with a cleansing oil followed by argan oil then with the tinted moisturizer and the color stick which you use as a lipstick and blush. I purched this on QVC and got a great deal. I just love the way my skin looks and feels.
NC25 Chinese, acne / oily skin.
I know this is insane, and I can't find a good reason why...but I am applying the JM oil this past week (no other moisturizer) and getting dry, scaley patches on my cheeks and T-zone. An oil that is drying me out? Huh.
I'm reading to mix w/ moisturizer, which may be the next step. But in general, I was trying to avoid moisturizers to see if that was clogging my pores.

The Window Cleaner
A short muisc video based on the classic song "The Window Cleaner" sung by George Formby
4.40 / 5.00 5,644 ViewsBy now you're wondering, "Wow! What talent! Amazing! Sensational! This man should work for (Insert Animation Company Here)!" If you didn't, I not surprised. Because I'M the only one wondering that.
What you see before you is ME(yes, me), as a cartoon, chasing a remote that has the mind bending powers to make me transform into any character I want. I just wanted to see if I could animate several different art styles as a challenge. This was more for practice.
This is the short Newgrounds version of my video. I plan on releasing more footage and more character designs. That's where you come in:
Below, post any character or art style you want me to transform into. I'll make a post on whether the style's been already placed in the movie or not. Send this to your friend and family! Spread the word and give me ideas. I want ideas from the fans! These will be used in the final version. Use your imagination, such as an art style from:
-TV Show
-Video Game
-Particular Artist
-Or you're own style...maybe...
Characters used in this video belong to:
-The Brothers Chaps
-Butch Hardman
-Niko Anesti
-Matt Wilson
-Bryan Lee O'Mailley
-Trey Parker and Matt Stone
-Gigi D' Agostino
-Clone High
-The Japanese
-Craig McCracken
-Edd Gould
Want the music? Here it is: https://8bc.org/members/S ievert/
Don't worry. If I don't respond to your review, it doesn't mean I didn't read and appreciate it. I've read them all...twice!
Please enjoy and try not to hate me!
Mike Southmoor
EDIT: Before you guys say this is the most unoriginal idea JUST because I'm drawing characters from TV shows/flash cartoons, I must point out that I incorporated some of MY designs into this so that it balances out.
P.S. DAILY AND WEEKLY FIRST!!!! FRONT PAGE!!! *faints* THANKS FULP AND FRIENDS!
What to say that hasn't been said
I have no idea but It is indeed one of the most impressive animations I've seen or in this case animation imitation. Lol that sounded cheesey but you get the idea. You coppied the style of many famous artists even Niko Anesti? HOLY SHIT HIM TOO? Damn bro I even think you covered most of the famous animators except for maybe Chuck Jones. That said amazing job!
This was awsome, so many different styles it was hard to remember all of them, I cant wait to see the extended version.
You should make a animation about noble team from halo reach, instead of them dieing how they do in the game, you should make a video where they are all fighting aliens for a final stand, and they die one by one.
Seriously man, u r gooooooood! Amazing choice of music too!
Just one tiny little suggestion; in the "Author's Comments" Section could you also add all the character styles you used?
P.S. the only ones I recognised are Megaman, Luigi, Timmy Turner, Pac-man, South Park, and the Powerpuff Girls.

Has anyone made a all grain corn ALE beer? I have a feeling if I brew a pale ale style and add corn into the mix it may taste alright but wont really have the effects Im looking for. I guess my question is what is the proper way to use corn in an all grain brew that isn't a coors water flavor beer? my gut instinct wants to formulate a recipe using corn as the base malt with some caramel malt I.D.K. crystal 40 to 60 with maybe carapils and or victory malt and oats but keep the O.S. gravity low like 1035-40 and hopp the s#*T out of it. Any thoughts????
better get sum diastic powder, amylas or sumtin to convert the starches.. no base grain = no conversion!!
Are you talking about a cream ale? It's pretty common. There's a ton of recipes on here. It's nothing special, just a really refreshing beer. Here's some info on the style of beer. The easiest way is to use flaked maize. The corn goes through a process where it is pregelatinized, and you just add it to the mash tun along with your grain. The other way is to do what's called a cereal mash. You boil the corn with some diastic grain like 2 row until it becomes like porrige and the starch has converted, then you add it to the mash tun with your grain. If you're doing a cereal mash you can use almost any form of corn, folks use grits, masa, cornmeal, canned cream corn, corn on the cob, hominy, and even popped popcorn. Here's a cream ale recipe made with popcornPopcorn Cream ALe

Around here the mountain folk malt their own corn so that they can mash it with 100% corn. They're not making beer though...
OK, I read that as corn HOLE beer. Eeeeewwww. Need coffee now.Zach: They ain't no mountains in the dang ATL... :P
- CStone
Wow lots of good ideas, thanks for the replies. A friend of mine brought back a growlier from a brewery in Russian River area that was a corn based ale that was really hoppy and refreshing. We can't remember the name of the brewery, but would very much like to mimic that beer. Thanks for the help, I'll keep researching.
Another thought is i just looked into a miller light lager clone type and this guy is saying that with this amalayse enzym you gett a really low gravity and less of a corn taste because the enzyme eats at other sugars that the yeast dont finish with.check out the search under the recipes discussion forum. I recently bought some and have way more than enough of flaked corn, so recently im trying to get ideas as ive used all my lager yeast also. thinking about trying it with some 6 row and nottingham.
