Customer Ratings:
I used to use Retin-A Micro gel on my nose and cheeks (for pores) in the morning, but I almost always had to then wipe it off before putting on makeup, no matter how long I waited or how little I used. When I received this as a sample, I tried it instead, and it works wonderfully under makeup. I've never seen any results from my years of using prescription R-A Micro, despite all the studies, but for some reason this product has made my pores look better already!
I've used Retin A and Retin A Micro for acne on and off over the past two decades. My Paula's Choice regimen including this clinical strength retinol product, 2% Clear Regular Strength BHA, and 2.5% Clear Benzoyl Peroxide has given me better results. I break out so rarely, that I almost forget that I have acne. The routine has eliminated my breakouts and faded past marks. That being said, start slow with this product because it is STRONG. Mix it with your moisturizer and/or Paula's Oil Booster.
I have been using this product on my oily skin and adult hormonal acne for 2 months. My acne has significantly decreased, red marks have faded, and skin appears smoother. The last time my skin was this good was years ago when I was using Retin-a micro; this product does just as good of a job if not better. I still only use it every other night due to flaking, but the Skin Recovery Toner and Resist Oil Booster mixed with my regular moisturizer do a great job of calming and hydrating my skin.
I had a reaction to this at first which was very disappointing but I added a couple of drops of the Clinical Oil to the mix and the results are fabulous. I have been thrilled when my younger sisters have insisted I've had Botox as I am 35 and 100% wrinkle free thanks to obsessive use of sunscreen and Paula's products and advice but adding this to the mix has taken my skin to the next level!
I have a very love/hate relationship with Paula's choice mostly stemming from the fact that I feel some of the reviews are too harsh. That said, this product costs more than my prescription strength Retin-A & I was looking for something to alternate with my strong Retin-A Rx. I decided to give this and the Ultra-Rich Moisturizer a try despite my feelings. The experience was fantastic and my skin has been glowing since. It was worth every penny and has been very elegantly formulated. A winner.
Morn and night I use Paula's Clear Acne Wash, BHA 2%, and 5% Benz Peroxide. Added Retinol 1% at night. I started slowly/ used every 2-3 days- but had tons peeling. I tried not using B peroxide at night with Retinol, but then broke out and still peeled. Next I added back B Peroxide and skip the BHA at night- Now I can use the Retinol every night- no irritation. No breakouts. My Routine~No Peel or acne Every Morn: Wash, BHA, B Perox, Sunscreen Every Night: Wash, B Peroxide, Retinol
Wow. I don't think I have every been more pleased with a product. I purchased the sample size of this product 3 weeks ago and have been using it almost daily since. (So I have gotten at least 3 weeks worth of almost daily use out of the sample size). This product has truly delivered it's promises for my skin. My skin is clear, smooth, my lines s are SO much softer and the amount of makeup I am wearing is decreasing week by week. I can't wait to see the results going forward! Thanks, Paula!
I am 64 and quite frankly haven't taken great care of my skin over the years. Always used moisturizers, but that is about it. About 6 weeks ago I started using several of the Resist products and the 1% retinal treatment. I can see a real difference. Yesterday a woman said to me, "wow, your skin looks great! I can't believe you are 64. Whatever you are doing for your skin, keep doing it!". I think I will!
I started using this after using the Skinceuticals retinol 1% product for almost two years. The price is similar for both products, but I got Paula's Choice version at a discount. That was the inspiration to try it. I am glad I did, and will use this retinol treatment going forward. This retinol treatment is easier to apply and it packs a bigger punch with additional beneficial ingredients beyond the retinol. This is a great retinol product that I would highly recommend.
I just turned 65 and needed a skin care line to keep my skin as young and healthy looking as possible. When I first started using this product, I didn't like it at all and returned it. My skin was irritated and dry - and I still have oily skin at my age! I worked with a consultant and we changed up my toner and moisturizer and now I actually use this every night with no problems. My skin never looked better - it really glows - and so far, no new wrinkles!!
I have used alot of skincare products in my life, but none have never gave me the reaction this product did. The first day i put this on my face turn red like a tomato and got a burning sensation on my face that lasted about 2 weeks. But my face is still red 1 month and 1 week later..... my skin is very pale but now it looks like i been permanently sunburned. it's very depressing to look in the mirror because of what did this to my face. i wish i had never put this on my face.My face is ruined

When I used Retin-A as a teenager the instructions said to wait 20 minutes before applying. Because the face is damp and freshly washed the product sinks in more deeply and can cause even more irritation. Try waiting 20 minutes before you use this product and maybe even try putting it over your moisturizer until you build up some tolerance. This has helped me with the Resist Intensive Wrinkle Repair Retinol Serum.
After learning the hard way to not apply too much or too often or around they eyes, I can say after my skin has kinda flaked and peeled it is sooo soft and beautiful. Usually use it only once a week and at night and then dont use any aha/bha for a few days after. Coconut oil has definently helped with the redness and peeling after use
I started using this product as my skin is sensitive to BHA and AHA exfoliation and I thought this might be an option to start working on my acne. It is amazing! I started very slow and even after using it for months I still only do a pea sized pump in my normal moisturizer, 3 times a week after normal cleansing and toning. I have found that if I use it without the moisturizer or more than 3 times a week, I will get some peeling, so stick to my schedule and keep an eye out for any dryness.
The first several times I used this product, my face would be red and peeling the next day. I have had a terrible time with my skin the last year. Turning 40 and stress has made my skin break out with cystic acne, something I've never had. I stopped using this and would always come back to it. Finally, I stopped turning red and peeling. This product has cleared my cystic acne and make my skin look amazing. The red spots are finally fading. I am SO glad I stuck with it. Thank you!
I have extremely dry, sensitive skin. I took PC's advice, and I combined this with the oil booster, and I had visible improvement without any redness or irritation. I've just been using it 3 times a week, and I skip the AHA and BHAs on the days I use it. I was a little scared to try it given the sensitivity of my skin, but I have been very pleased with the results.
I LOVE this. Super effective on cystic acne, closed comedones, visible inflammation. Only issue with it is the price! (Though it's still quite reasonable for such an effective retinol product.)
I am 21 and have suffered from SEVERE cystic acne for most of my teen years and into my 20s. I was put on every anti-biotic and cream from the dermatologist. I am also on birth control that made my hormonal acne even worse for the last 6 months. My insurance was not going to cover accutane, which was my last resort. I decided to try this 1% retinol because I had run out of options. Cleared my skin in 2 months. I had to be consistent and patient. This is the only thing that cleared my cystic acne
I'm 25, never tried prescriptions, and I use this every 2-3 days. I've even used it twice in a row and no irritation. All I've used before is neutrogena moisterizers with retinal. I have a couple lines on my forehead and this seems to be helping but I'll review again after a few months. I've used 10-15 times. I started with once a week for the first few weeks.
I have tried prescription retin-A in the past and it destroyed my skin, leaving me with horrible acne (that wasn't there before) and raw, weathered looking skin. But this retinol has done amazing things for my skin!! The few breakouts and hyper-pigmentation spots I had were gone in a few days and my skin is now clear, pores smaller, and even reduced the look of sebaceous filaments on my chin and nose. My laugh lines around my eyes are less noticeable. I do have to use a heavier moisturizer now.
I have been using PC products for a very long time. On a daily basis I use PC BHA and AHA products in my routine.I purchased this product in mid-December & used it once at night without any additional AHA/BHA PC products. This morning my skin is still peeling off and red. It's unfortunate I had this first time reaction to PC products,even more unfortunate is that I did not keep my packing slip to return the product. As Paula's Choice has said this product may not be for everyone.
Hello, and thank you for sharing your experience with us - we're sorry to hear this didn't work as expected for you! Even though you don't have the packing slip, still contact Customer Care to see about a possible exchange or refund.
I've been using retinol products off and on for years. Since I've never had a bad reaction from retinol, I decided to go for PC's 1%. The test is to see if using this product will get rid of the "11" between my eyebrows. Well, it's working! The deep creases are a bit more shallow from one week's use and the rest of my face looks great. I am fortunate to have very clear, soft skin that does not show my age (going on 60.) I'm very pleased!!
I have been using this product for several months but had to stop after the first 2 weeks due to major dryness. My skin was so dry and flaky and normal moisturizers just didn't cut it. I was frustrated because my skin texture had improved so much, even dry. Then I discovered the Resist Moisture Boost Oil. I mixed 2 drops of that magical serum into the Clinical 1% Retinol cream and WOW! No more dryness or flakes, redness was minimal and I am now using it 4 days a week. Finally love my skin.
I've been using this for a month. It's my first time using retinol so I started slowly. 1 pea sized pump 2x week. Now I'm up to 4 days a week. I read some where to wait a half hour between washing my face and applying this. (Apparently retinol can react with residual moisture???) Anyway, so far so good.
I've been using Paula's products for a decade plus months. I always loved her products. Some work great sometimes not but this product causes painful red bumps on my chin after two days, more appears On my cheek after my initial use.

To minimize irritation, try combining with 2-3 drops of Resist Moisture Renewal Oil Booster.

Note: Some people may experience a delayed sensitized reaction to 1% retinol. Do not assume that if no reaction is seen after a few applications that you can apply this treatment more frequently. Pay close attention to how your skin responds and adjust usage accordingly.
If sensitization occurs (redness, flaking, tenderness, or drying of skin), reduce frequency of use or mix one pump of the Clinical 1% Retinol Treatment with your favorite Paula's Choice serum or PM moisturizer. If sensitization persists, discontinue use. Protect skin daily with sunscreen rated SPF 25 or greater, or layer sunscreens (moisturizer, foundation with sunscreen, and pressed powder with sunscreen) if they are all rated SPF 15 or greater (and greater is better).
Do not apply this treatment on the same day as facial waxing or sugaring. Doing so may increase the risk of an irritant response.

At what point in my skincare routine would I use Clinical 1% Retinol Treatment?
How does Clinical 1% Retinol Treatment differ from the other retinol products Paula's Choice offers?
Can I use Clinical 1% Retinol Treatment if I am using other Paula's Choice products that contain retinol?
Is Clinical 1% Retinol Treatment suitable for sensitive skin?
Is Clinical 1% Retinol Treatment suitable for rosacea-affected skin?
Can I use Clinical 1% Retinol Treatment if I have oily skin and breakouts?
How does Clinical 1% Retinol Treatment compare to prescription retinoids?
Is it OK to use Clinical 1% Retinol Treatment with a product that contains hydroquinone, such as Resist Dark Spot Eraser?
Is it OK to use Clinical 1% Retinol Treatment with an anti-acne product that contains benzoyl peroxide?
Yes. For best results, apply the benzoyl peroxide product to breakout-prone areas, allow to dry, then follow with Clinical 1% Retinol Treatment.
You may have read or heard that retinol and benzoyl peroxide cannot be used together for fear they will adversely affect each other's stability. However, what is often missing from these claims is any cited corroborative studies, and with good reason, because the scientific and medical research actually says the two ingredients can complement each other—which is good to know, whether you're dealing with acne alone or the unwelcome mix of wrinkles plus breakouts! (Cutis 2009 & 2012, Journal of Drugs and Dermatology 2013).
Are there any products I shouldn't combine with Clinical 1% Retinol Treatment?
How soon will I see results?
Why should I use Clinical 1% Retinol Treatment instead of one of your other retinol products—and why should I use one of those other retinol products instead of Clinical 1% Retinol Treatment?
Is this the strongest retinol product I can buy over-the-counter?
Is Clinical 1% Retinol Treatment safe for me to use while pregnant or nursing?
If I see great results after the first or second use, is it OK to begin applying Clinical 1% Retinol Treatment every night?

Once again Melbourne extends its welcome to Formula One as Albert Park prepares to host the Australian Grand Prix – the opening race of the 2013 FIA Formula One World Championship. Sixteen weeks after storm-lashed Interlagos and the drama-laden climax of the 2012 season, the teams reassemble for what is widely expected to be an incredibly close year of racing.
Stability in the technical regulations leads to a great deal of carryover from 2012 and, several notable exceptions aside, optimising existing designs has been the primary focus in the development of 2013 cars.
While the machinery has a familiar look, the same cannot be said for the driver line-up. Four of 2012's field have switched teams in the off-season and five rookies will be making their F1 race debut in this weekend.
Albert Park is not the easiest place to make a good impression. Running on public roads through the park, the temporary circuit has a reputation for being slippery with several large bumps known to destabilise cars under braking. Gravel traps wait for the unwary and the unlucky – but being a street circuit there are also plenty of walls. Added to the limited and hazardous nature of overtaking opportunities at Albert Park, it means the safety car is often busy at the Australian Grand Prix.
Another variable to factor in are the new tyres on offer from Pirelli. Reports from winter testing suggest teams are not yet fully on terms with the revised compounds, raising the possibility of early races this year seeing shorter stints (and thus more frequent pitstops) than was usual in 2012.
As ever, winter testing did not provide any reliable evidence of a pecking order but did greatly add to the stock of speculation. Consensus points to a very tight battle ahead but without any hard evidence, this weekend will provide the first real indication of how the 2013 FIA Formula One World Championship will unfold.

Welsh hero Enzo Maccarinelli, 33, suffered a TKO loss in the sixth round of his WBA world light heavyweight title fight with Jurgen Braehmer. But while the Briton boxed well at the start, cutting Braehmer's right eye with a shot in the first, Mac's own eye swelled grotesquely in the second. It ranks as high, if not higher, than Denis Lebedev's, than Pawel Wolak's and made Manchester United winger Antonio Valencia's injury look like a pea in comparison.

Reigning WBA junior middleweight title-holder Austin Trout (25-0-0, 14ko) made weight at the second time of asking on Friday afternoon, ahead of his voluntary defence against ring veteran Miguel Cotto (37-3-0, 30ko). Trout had to strip bare naked in order to make the upper limit of the 154lb weight class. Cotto scaled in at 153.6lbs. The two boxers go punch for punch at Madison Square Garden in New York on Saturday, November 30.

Alan Dawson – London
Martin Murray picked up the "interim" WBA middleweight world title on Saturday, November 24 and punctuated his status as a world-level operator with a dominant performance over unheralded opponent Jorge Navarro at the Manchester Arena. Having tied with Felix Sturm in Germany, Murray now wants to sign a contract to challenge Sergio Martinez in Argentina for the lineal championship.
Dawson's scorecard
Round | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | 10 | 11 | 12 |
Navarro |
8 | 9 | 9 | 9 | 9 | 8 | - | - | - | - |
- | - |
Murray |
10 | 10 | 10 |
10 | 10 | 10 | - | - | - | - | - | - |
Official verdict: Murray by way of 6th Rd TKO.
For the first minute in the opening round, Murray (25-0-1, 11ko) tentatively boxed on the back-foot, however, after an initial assessment of his largely unknown opponent, Murray began to fight with confidence, with aggression and also with power. The Englishman, frustrated by an inability to be matched with Julio Cesar Chavez Jr in June due to Visa issues, took anger out on Venezuelan power puncher Navarro (12-0-1, 10ko) and caught the unbeaten Bolivar bruiser with a straight right, jellying his knees and winning a knockdown.
Murray had ten seconds left on the ring clock in the first stanza and flurried relentlessly in a bid to win an early finish and an early bath, but Navarro survived the onslaught, recuperated during the minute break but was unable to box his way back into the fight in the second round. Murray patiently probed. The second chapter lacked the drama of the first, but Murray stuck to a disciplined approach and sought to take the wind out of his man's sails before puncturing the hull with holes and drowning the vessel. His one-two was thrown well – and he landed numerous short-range right hands to the body before targeting the chin.
Despite carrying an impressive knockout ratio, Navarro's attack was far too predictable and one-dimensional. He telegraphed too many of his shots and Murray was able to envision the shots the 27-year-old was ready to throw. Murray won all the rounds… he coasted through the third, cut Navarro's skin open in the fourth and bamboozled his opponent with jabs, right crosses and fast combinations in the fifth. In truth, Murray could have had Navarro on his back with the fight finished earlier in the contest but was likely advised by his corner to ease off the accelerator and gain some rounds having been away from a professional prize ring since June.
Navarro was on his knees and receiving another eight count in the sixth round. Navarro appeared loathe to beat the count, looking over to his corner for assistance but was allowed to box on… just not for long. Murray preserved his undefeated streak, enhanced his global ranking and secured his technical knockout victory mere moments later when he ransacked the South American with body-bound flurrying, forcing Navarro's corner to throw in the white towel.
"We knew he could punch… our plan was to ease our way in, get inside, break his heart," said Murray to Primetime before commenting on whom he wants to challenge next. "I want to be in big world title fights. We've got some big fights to look forward to. As we showed in Germany, we'd fight anybody. I'd love to fight [Sergio Martinez] and I'd go to Argentina to beat him."
On the undercard, rising bantamweight prospect Scott Quigg (25-0-1, 18ko) obtained contender status with his stoppage victory over Rendall Munroe. Quigg forced his counterpart to his on two occasions in the sixth round. The first, was a result of a left hook crack to the left side of Munroe's ribs. The former world title challenger beat the count, but was felled moments later and, in obvious pain, was counted out by referee Terry O'Connor. With the victory, Quigg claimed the "interim" version of the WBA's super bantamweight world title.

Press Release
NBC Sports Network's popular "Fight Night" TV boxing series starts 2013 off with a bang on January 19th when Sergey Kovalev (19-0-1, 17ko) takes on Gabriel Campillo (21-4-1, 8ko), in an international ten-round light heavyweight main event. The nationally televised fight will be held at Mohegan Sun in Uncasville, CT.
Kovalev, the 175-pound punching machine from Chelyabinsk, Russia, aptly nicknamed "Krusher", always brings the power when he steps into the ring. Only three of his opponents have gone the distance during his three year career. His last start was a typical Kovalev affair, a three round blowout of Lionell Thompson in Bethlehem, PA. He will look to make similar short work of Campillo in January.
Campillo is Spanish southpaw from Madrid who once reigned as the WBA 175-pound world champion. In his last fight, he boxed circles around undefeated IBF champ Tavoris Cloud, but lost a highly controversial split decision. Campillo, known as the "Handsome Man" is a beautiful boxer looking to get back to another world title bout. Kovalev is standing in his way.
This caliber of competition has become the benchmark for the NBC Sports Network "Fight Night" series. "Fight Night" matchmaker, J Russell Peltz said, "This is a classic boxer-puncher fight between world-class fighters. On paper it doesn't get any better than this, in person it could be even better."

A unique video providing insight and a behind-the-scenes look at how a long-reigning unified heavyweight world champion, Wladimir Klitschko, readies himself for a fight against an unbeaten challenger, Mariusz Wach, has been released. Wladimir, who gives up an inch in reach and two inches in height, defends his belt collection on November 10 at the 02 World Arena in Hamburg. The fight has been dedicated to the late Emanuel Steward.

With the biggest fight of his career just one month away, [regular] WBA super welterweight world title holder Austin 'No Doubt' Trout [relocated] to higher elevation for the remainder of his training camp. A proud New Mexico native, he has remained close to his roots to prepare for December 1. Trout and trainer Louie Burke held the first half of their ten-week camp in his hometown of Las Cruces, but they [have headed] up I-70 to mountain destination, Ruidoso, N.M., for the final month of training. Trout is preparing for the fourth defense of his WBA title on December 1 against Miguel Cotto at Madison Square Garden on Showtime.
"The seclusion and altitude of Ruidoso are the main reasons [for changing camp]. It's close enough that I can go home if I need to, but far enough that I won't be bothered with the hustle and bustle."
Team Trout took the two-hour journey to Ruidoso [last week] and train at On the Rock Church boxing club. Situated next to the Lincoln national forest, Ruidoso is a mountain resort town with an elevation of nearly 7,000 feet. The 27-year-old and his team are holding camp in Ruidoso for the second time in his career.
With more than half of his training complete for December 1, Trout is pleased with the progress he and his team have made to this point: "It's been a great camp thus far; I have good chemistry with everyone," Trout said. "All my sparring partners, everyone's been helping out. I feel like I'm right on schedule if not ahead of it."
Trout enjoyed his debut as a boxing analyst two week ago, joining the Showtime commentating team for the October 20 telecast from the Barclays Center in Brooklyn. Although he thoroughly enjoyed his first taste of the broadcast business, his focus is now squarely on Miguel Cotto and the fourth defense of his belt.

Reigning 'Regular' WBA heavyweight world titlist Alexander Povetkin will not be trading leather with mandatory challenger Hasim Rahman at the Boleyn Ground in London on Saturday, July 14 because of a clash between licensing in Britain and broadcasting in Germany. While the David Haye and Dereck Chisora main event will remain in England, Povetkin and Rahman will be rehoused in Hamburg on the same night.
Licensing at the football ground of West Ham United dictates that Haye and Chisora's grudge fight could not begin later than 22:00 and, due to German TV network ARD's demands that Povetkin v Rahman fill that time slot and occur prior to the former fight, scheduling proved impossible. Chris Meyer, managing director of Sauerland Event, explained: "It is due to organisational aspects; the English time schedule was too tight."
He continued: "We wouldn't have been able to guarantee that the fight could have been broadcasted live in Germany. Therefore the heavyweight world championship will be staged in Hamburg. There are not a lot of cities in Germany which can host such an event on such short notice. Hamburg is a real boxing city with a great audience and a lot of boxing tradition. Furthermore the city possesses the required infrastructure to host such a big event."
Povetkin added: "My fourth fight as a pro was in Hamburg, back in 2005. Obviously I remember that fight very well. I have also been there a few times to visit my promoter Kalle Sauerland."

On The Beak – Admin
With the hunt for an opponent for WBC junior middleweight belt holder Saul 'Canelo' Alvarez (40-0-1, 29ko) on Saturday, September 15 at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada still apparently ongoing, WBA titlist at 154lbs Austin 'No Doubt' Trout (25-0-0, 14ko) has issued a reminder to his Mexican rival. Eager for a world title unification, Trout has challenged Canelo…
"Canelo, if you want my belt, come try and take it! After I beat your brother in your hometown to win my title, you came forward and stated you wanted to fight me to avenge your brother's loss. Ever since I immediately accepted your challenge, you have disappeared. Now we have a chance to unify the titles and give the fans a fight between two young, undefeated world champions, but it seems as though you are more interested in taking on lesser-quality opposition and avoiding me again."
Trout was last seen scoring a dominant win over Delvin Rodriguez on June 2 on Showtime.
"I've proven to be head and shoulders above everyone they've put in front of me. I'm ready for my first defining moment as a fighter on the world stage, so I'm sending this challenge out to another champion who hasn't yet been in a pick 'em type of fight."
Surprisingly, Trout says he doesn't blame Alvarez for his choice of opponents thus far.
"If I could get away with fighting the Kermit Cintrons and Matthew Hattons of the world on HBO, I would too, but it's time to step up Cinnamon. Time to find out what we're both truly made of."
Note: The WBC are reported to have rejected this unification.

Robert Delgado – Los Angeles
Heavy-handed Argentinean slugger Marcos Maidana, the current incumbent of the 'Regular' WBA junior welterweight title, is in debt to 147lb southpaw Victor Ortiz as, according to the fighter himself, it is he who gave Maidana his name due to their 2009 thriller where both fighters exchanged multiple knockdowns. Ortiz believes he is owed either a thank you, or a rematch…
Exciting Oxnard power-puncher Ortiz, 25, was stopped by Maidana three years ago and, even though he has gone on to capture a world title at welterweight and secure a lucrative showdown with Floyd Mayweather Jr (albeit one he was unsuccessful in), Maidana too saw his status rise since '09 and has shared a ring with Amir Khan, Erik Morales and Devon Alexander.
"[Maidana] owes me a thank you or a rematch because I gave him his name," spat Ortiz (29-3-2, 22ko), who is in action himself on Saturday, June 23 as he takes on Josesito Lopez in a 12-round duel for the lightly-regarded silver title sanctioned by the WBC.
"Right now the main focus is on Lopez because he's no walk in the park," he continued. "I don't disrespect anyone. There's a dangerous fighter in front of me who is on the same path as I was a year ago before I fought [Andre] Berto, but the difference here is I'm too hungry to let my chance go."
Ortiz has not fought since his defeat to Mayweather nine months ago. A rematch with Berto, slated for earlier in the year, was postponed as the Floridian suffered an injury to his bicep and so the bout was pushed back to June 23, however, Berto then failed a drug test. Ortiz's opponent was duly changed but the date was salvaged as Lopez (29-4-0, 17ko) was brought in and, even though he has not locked leather in a professional environment since September last year, Ortiz is eager to return to the ring with a bang.
"If [Lopez] wants to go to war, we'll go to war. If he wants to box, then we'll box. It doesn't really matter. I'm there to take what is rightfully mine."

Alan Dawson – London
The well-publicised super bantamweight contest that pitted Rendall Munroe against Scott Quigg – two of Britain's top fighters at the weight – ended in disappointing fashion on Saturday, June 16 as an accidental clash of heads caused Munroe to bleed profusely from the eyebrow. As the contest had only just entered into it's third round, a technical draw was announced at the Velodrome in Manchester, however, a rematch will no doubt be booked…
Dawson's scorecard
Round | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | 10 | 11 | 12 |
Quigg |
- | - |
Munroe |
- | - | - | - | - | - | - | - | - |
Official verdict: Technical draw due to Munroe cut in round three.
"We need to do it again, it's number one in the country against number two," said promoter Ricky Hatton to Sky Sports Two. "Munroe needs to get the cut looked at. The minute the cut is healed up, it's an immediate rematch."
The Quigg – Munroe fight, in an event dubbed Road to Glory, received international interest due to the clash of styles and it's 'crossroads' nature. And, while Munroe was the accomplished distance fighter, the established campaigner at the highest of levels and could brag a sterling resume and body of work, it was Quigg who entered the ring second and took command of the red corner.
This, though, was somewhat apt considering the column inches Quigg has attracted during his ascendancy thus far but, in the opening round, it was Munroe who went about his business while Quigg – in contrast – was far too tentative in the opening minute, perhaps showing signs of his relative inexperience at this stage.
Any nerves Quigg had in the opening session, though, appeared to have vanished by round two as Quigg boxed with confidence, landed with his acclaimed power, made Munroe miss, countered his man and was – largely – accurate. Munroe's wide shots, such as the left hook, were blocked by Quigg's well-placed gloves and, just as the crowd were beginning to get increasingly roused by the in-ring action, the fight was called off on account of an angry cut suffered by Munroe when the heads accidentally came together.
The laceration was a bad one and wept claret into his eye, over his nose and the 32-year-old was sporting a ghastly mask of blood within seconds, prompting the ringside doctor to advise the referee to call the contest off. As a result, both fighters shared a technical draw.
"That's how it is, that's the game, I thought I had his number, I was just warming up [and] I hadn't even started," assessed Munroe (24-2-1, 10ko) post-fight. "I'm more frustrated I didn't get to take a new belt to take home to my kids."
Quigg (24-0-1, 17ko) added: "We both came to brawl… he leaned in, I leaned in, that's boxing innit. After two rounds, everything was going to plan. We had a perfect training camp but we didn't get the perfect fight."

Van Gundys' Visit
Despite the fact that Stan and Jeff Van Gundy have made their names in basketball, the brothers' affection for a game that uses a much smaller ball was evident with their visit to the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum on Wednesday.
"We've been meaning to come here for awhile," said Orlando Magic coach Stan Van Gundy, who also brought with him his 16-year-old son Michael. "With work schedules and we both have families and other things around it was hard, but finally Jeff just said, 'Get a date and I'll go,' so we came up with a date."
While Stan was making his first visit to Cooperstown, Jeff Van Gundy, who coached the New York Knicks and Houston Rockets prior to his current gig broadcasting the NBA for ABC/ESPN, thinks he might have come years ago, adding, "I think I was here before once when I was in high school but now I'm not totally clear."
But what was clear was how much the siblings were enjoying their Hall of Fame visit.
"It's just unbelievable," Stan Van Gundy said. "We've been baseball fans since we were little kids and been meaning to come here for years and years and years. It's incredible how much stuff is here and how much history is here. You really feel connected to it. There's just an overwhelming amount of … things."
With a father who was a basketball coach, the Van Gundy brothers were exposed to that game from an early age. But as Stan explained, baseball brought with it a special family dynamic.
"We're all involved in basketball and so we weren't really together at a lot of games. We were watching my dad's team or watching Jeff play a game or watching me play a game or whatever, but baseball's something you can do together," Stan said. "And it's been the same way with me and my son. He may come to my games or I might go to his games but we're rarely at a basketball game together. Baseball we can share. It's a family experience. I remember going to baseball games with my family, so I think that's been a big part of it."
For Jeff Van Gundy, an A's fan whose family lived in the Bay area in the 1970s, an early baseball memory comes from the 1972 World Series between Oakland pitcher Rollie Fingers and Reds batter Johnny Bench.
"I still remember vividly (A's manager) Dick Williams walking out to the mound and calling for an intentional walk and they throw the strike. It was one of the great memories of my life," Jeff said. "And I can still remember that we used to go out for a dollar and sit in the bleachers (in Oakland)."
Having lived in Florida for many years, Stan Van Gundy now roots for the Marlins.
"The 2003 World Series with the Marlins, we were living in Miami and got to know some of those guys," Stan said. "And probably my biggest baseball memory is Jeff Conine throwing J.T. Snow out at home plate in the first round of the playoffs. The only time a play at the plate ended a series. And J.T. Snow tries to run Pudge Rodriguez over and he comes up with the ball.
"Baseball's so many memories for all of us. And to be here, where there's memories from the entire history of the game… It's really overwhelming."
While the National Football League settled its lockout this week, the National Baseball Association is currently embroiled on one of its own. When asked for their thoughts on the current impasse, Stan Van Gundy politely demurred, explaining that he could be fined by the league for making a comment. But brother Jeff was under no restrictions.
"I think it'll work out eventually," Jeff said. "Obviously it'll involve compromise, the owners will win, and it will start late. And it will harm everybody and everything. What's always forgotten in these is the person who is just striving to live paycheck to paycheck and gotten laid off. That's the unfortunate thing about all these things. We talk about what's in it for the owners or for the players but we often forget so many of the other people that are impacted by these types of lockouts."
Bill Francis is a library associate for the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum.
Star treatment
His signature television role has James Denton portraying a plumber, a man accustomed to behind-the-scenes areas in buildings.
But when Denton – one of the stars of the ABC hit television series "Desperate Housewives" – visited the Baseball Hall of Fame on Thursday, his tour of the Museum archives left him with an unaccustomed sense of wonderment.
"This is amazing," said the 48-year-old Denton, who has played Mike Delfino on 'Desperate Housewives' since it first debuted in 2004. "Just to have a look around… We're going to stay until they throw us out."
Denton visited the Museum with his brother, David Denton, and friends Mike Petty and Robert Diehl – each of whom refer to him as "Jamie." Dressed in a polo shirt and jeans, the chiseled Denton is a lifelong baseball fan who is also part owner of the Orange County Flyers of the independent Golden Baseball League.
"The closest I ever got to the Hall of Fame before this was when I played Sandy Koufax in a movie," Denton said. "Let me tell you, it was a lot easier making people believe that I was a left-handed pitcher than it was convincing them I was a Jewish kid from Brooklyn."
Denton, who grew up in Tennessee and now roots for the Minnesota Twins, showed off a keen knowledge of history during his tour, asking about subjects ranging from Babe Ruth to former broadcaster-turned-President Ronald Reagan.
But many of the Museum's artifacts – like a Gil Hodges jersey and a Honus Wagner bat – left the talented actor virtually speechless.
"We're never going to forget this day," Denton said. "The history here is just something else."

When researching a story on modern prefab (coming soon, in the Jan.-Feb. 2012 issue of residential architect) I spoke with so many interesting and intelligent people. I didn't have anywhere close to enough room in the story to use all the great quotes I accumulated—so I've assembled just a few for you here.
"When I first started in 2002, nobody knew what a prefab was. Now they understand. Maybe they don't understand the difference between a kit of parts and modular, but they know what prefab is."—Rocio Romero (LV Series Homes)
"I think a lot of architects don't understand that prefab is harder on an office than a typical project. It can be very time-intensive and a different way of doing things. After you do it for a while, it makes a lot of sense."—Geoffrey Warner, Alchemy Architects (weeHouse)
"We're not changing the language. It's really, really hard to change the language. We're still using the two-by-four."—Ted Flato, FAIA, Lake|Flato Architects (Lake|Flato Porch House)
Stay tuned for the full story.—m.d.

Charitable Intent: A Moral or Social Construct? A Revised Theory of Planned Behavior Model

Given an increasing global need to elicit and stimulate charitable giving and in light of the limited social-psychological research on this subject, this study contributes to a better empirical understanding of the factors that underlie charitable giving (intentions). In contrast to previous research, it was hypothesized that moral norms rather than social norms are likely to play a significant role in the formation of charitable intentions. An extended Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) model was constructed in order to test the influence of six social-psychological variables on an individual's intention to donate to charity. Respondents (N = 143) completed an online questionnaire about charitable behaviour that assessed the constructs of the revised model. The present study found support for the stated hypothesis: while social norms (both descriptive and prescriptive) did not explain any of the variance in intention, moral norms accounted for a significant amount of the overall variance and were in fact identified as the strongest (relative) predictor of charitable giving intentions. In addition to moral norms, 'attitude', 'perceived behavioral control' and 'past behaviour' were also identified as significant predictors. The findings in this study support a revised TPB model that accounts for nearly 70% of the explained variance in charitable intent. Implications for both theory and practice are discussed.

my injector pump is dripping diesel from the part where the throttle turns it i know the injector pump rebuild is to much for a amateur to do but should this be a o ring or something? i was hoping i could do this fix by myself it runs great just leaks diesel from there thanks Uploaded with ImageShack.us
I copied this from the archives of another forum. Written by TomTX. "If it is a CAV, I have been there done that. The CAV is prone to leaking around the throttle shaft and the cut-off shaft. First you will need to get 2 or 3 cans of engine cleaner. Clean, clean, and clean again the whole area. After each spraying, hose off, let dry and do it again. Cleaner the better, if you drop a ball of grease/dirt into the top while the cover is off - big trouble, one piece of crud dropped into the bottom of the pump will cost you about $600-700. Now using a paper towel, start looking for your leak; it will show up real easy on the dry, clean paper towel. 1. MOST important thing is to have some paper and pencil BEFORE you take off the cover. 2. Remove shut-off linkage and throttle linkage. 3. Remove screws or nuts holding lid on. 4. DO NOT just lift up the top. Lift it just a little, very carefully so you can peek under it. A spring is attached from the lid to the bottom part of the pump. One end of spring is hooked on a wide post looking like a tombstone. The tombstone has several holes in it. Write down which hole the spring is hooked in before you remove it. The other end is through one of the holes in the flattened end of the control rod. Again write down the hole it is in before you remove it. This step is VERY IMPORTANT. If the spring is not reassembled to EXACTLY the same holes on both ends, the tractor will never run right again. The same pump can be used on different model tractors with the only difference being how the spring is hooked. My MF dealer mechanic can tell the proper holes by using the 3 numbers on the CAV. Now remove the spring, and lift off the lid. 5. Write down the model/year of tractor, and the model of the CAV pump and serial number. There are 3 different numbers on my CAV pump. 6. Take the cover with you and head to Ford/New Holland dealer and purchase a new gasket and four (4) tiny o-rings that fit around the throttle shaft and the shut-off shaft. Each shaft has 2 o-rings. If the o-rings are not leaking now, they soon will so replace all of them. Total cost of gasket and 4 o-rings is about $5 or $6. 7. You will need a little patience and two extra hands to get the spring attached on both ends and the new gasket fitted."
Great info from sixbales There are descriptions and diagrams here: http://www.fujiyachts.net/manuals/CAV%20DPA%20Pump%20Rebuild%20Manual.pdf It helps a lot to know what is in the pump before you open it. This one (may take some time to download) shows better how to handle the linkage under the lid: http://www.solidebolide.nl/downloads/CAV%20Workshop%20Manual%20fuel-injection-pump.pdf
thanks so much for the answers you cannot find anything on rebuilding these pumps im going up to the place today and gunna bring pump home and give it a try thanks so much

Action Against Hunger Goes Hollywood!
As part of the launch of our new and exciting partnership with Two Degrees Food, we brought our message about ending deadly malnutrition to Los Angeles for the celeb-studded American Music Awards. Two Degrees' vegan, gluten-free bars—available nationwide at Whole Foods supermarkets—not only taste fantastic, they're also the backbone of an incredible "one-to-one" program. For every bar purchased, the company donates one nutrition pack (like Plumpy'nut) to organizations like us. We'll then make sure these Ready-to-Use Foods make it to our nutrition centers worldwide, where they can save the lives of severely malnourished children. Because these packs require no water or refrigeration, our field workers can treat children right in their own communities, rather than transporting them hundreds of miles to the nearest hospital or clinic. This method has over a 95% success rate.
Two Degrees generously invited us to share their booth for a two day long pre-show event. So off we went, and an array of Tinseltown stars stopped by our booth to lend their support to our joint mission, including music artists Chaka Khan, ZZ Top's Billy Gibbons, Soulja Boy, Sheila E., Lil' Jon, and Jasmin V, actors Bronson Pelletier (The Twilight Saga) and Josh Sussman (Glee), and reality TV personalities Mike "The Situation" Sorrentino (Jersey Shore) and Brooke Hogan (Hogan Knows Best). Each celebrity signed a beautifully framed photograph of a child in Nepal being treated by Action Against Hunger. The photo with all of the celebrity signatures will be auctioned off on Charity Buzz to support our lifesaving work.
We're so grateful for the opportunity to talk about our mission with some people who could really help us spread the word. Thank you, Two Degrees and all of the celeb attendees!

Profession | Attorney |
Dave Frohnmayer (born July 9, 1940) is an American attorney, politician, and university administrator from Oregon. He was the 15th president of the University of Oregon (UO), serving from 1994 to 2009. His tenure as president was the second-longest after John Wesley Johnson. He was the first native Oregonian to run the UO. Frohnmayer previously served as Oregon Attorney General from 1981 to 1991, and subsequently served as dean at the University of Oregon School of Law before serving as president of the university. He now serves in an "of counsel" attorney role with the Oregon law firm, Harrang Long Gary Rudnick P.C.
Early life and education[edit]
Frohnmayer was born in Medford, Oregon. He graduated magna cum laude from Harvard in 1962. He attended Oxford University on a Rhodes Scholarship, and received his law degree from the University of California, Berkeley in 1967.
Political career[edit]
Frohnmayer, a Republican, served three terms in the Oregon House of Representatives from 1975 to 1981, representing southern Eugene.
Frohnmayer was elected as Oregon Attorney General in November 1980, defeating Democrat Harl H. Haas, Jr.,[1] and was sworn into office on January 5, 1981. He was re-elected in 1984 and 1988, when he was nominated by both the Democratic and Republican parties. Frohnmayer served as Attorney General until his resignation on December 31, 1991, when he became Dean of the University of Oregon School of Law. As Attorney General, one of his most notable cases involved leading the prosecution of members of the Rajneesh movement (followers of Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh.) Frohnmayer prevailed in six out of the seven cases that he took to the United States Supreme Court.
Frohnmayer was the Republican nominee for Governor of Oregon in 1990. Popular Democratic incumbent–and former UC Berkeley School of Law classmate–Neil Goldschmidt withdrew after Frohnmayer's campaign manager, Donna Zajonc, said "...you've got to believe that the best family will win" at a news conference,[2] which was then reported by Jeff Mapes in The Oregonian.[3] Zajonc's statement was interpreted at the time as a threat to use Goldschmidt's collapsing marriage as a political issue.[3][4] Goldschmidt quickly withdrew from the race, an event that was considered one of the "great mysteries in Oregon politics"[2] until 2004, when Goldschmidt admitted to having a sexual relationship with a minor in the 1970s.[5] Frohnmayer subsequently lost the election to Barbara Roberts, the Democrat who was nominated after Goldschmidt's withdrawal, in a three-way race that included independent, Oregon Citizens Alliance-backed[6] candidate Al Mobley.[7]
Academic career[edit]
Frohnmayer served as Dean of the University of Oregon School of Law from January 1, 1992 until he was appointed President of the University in 1994. Frohnmayer announced his retirement as President on April 29, 2008, and was succeeded on July 31, 2009 by Richard Lariviere. Frohnmayer's tenure was widely acclaimed; The Register-Guard's editorial "Retiring from the University he Remade" opined that "Dave Frohnmayer has steered the University of Oregon through grim and changing times and he's leaving a different and stronger institution."[8] The Oregonian called Frohnmayer's presidency "one of the most remarkable higher education performances in Oregon history."[9]
Frohnmayer is active in support of research into treatment of the disease Fanconi anemia. Two of his daughters died from complications arising from this disease. He was a founding Director of the National Marrow Donor Program and served as a member of the Board of Trustees of the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center. He also serves on the Board of Directors of the Fanconi Anemia Research Fund, Inc. Lynn and Dave Frohnmayer established the FA Family Support Group in 1985, which they helped incorporate in the Fanconi Anemia Research Fund in 1989.[10]
Frohnmayer's father, Otto Frohnmayer, was a noted Southern Oregon lawyer. His brother, John Frohnmayer, served as chairman of the National Endowment for the Arts under the administration of President George H.W. Bush and briefly challenged incumbent senator Gordon Smith in the 2008 election as an independent. His other brother, Phillip Frohnmayer, who resides in New Orleans, Louisiana is a professor of music at Loyola University. His son is Mark Frohnmayer, lead programmer of Starsiege: Tribes and Tribes 2 at Dynamix before leaving to co-found GarageGames with Jeff Tunnell, Rick Overman and Tim Gift. Mark has since started Arcimoto, designing a three-wheeled electric vehicle.
In 2005, the University of Oregon's MarAbel B. Frohnmayer Music Building was named in honor of his mother.[11]

James Joyce Pub, Baltimore, Maryland
Baltimore , Maryland
Tel: 410 727 5107
Concierge.com's insider take:
A literary Irish pub may seem incongruous amidst the condos and hotel construction in Harbor East, but this six-year-old establishment manages to feel authentic. Owner Jimmy Fagan, an Irishman who formerly managed The Dubliner, one of Washington, D.C.'s most popular bars, had this pub designed and built in the Emerald Isle then shipped over and fitted on-site. The padded-leather bar stools, wooden booths, and beaded-glass panels provide a hale atmosphere for sipping a well-built pint of Guinness draft or a dram of single-malt Scotch. Pub grub includes beef and Guinness stew, and the Molly Bloom salad (grilled Atlantic salmon over greens, cherry tomatoes, and hard-boiled egg, tossed with onion relish dressing). Live music makes things a bit rowdier on the weekends.
Open daily 11 am to 2 am.
