NEW YORK (CNNMoney.com) -- As musician Wyclef Jean tearfully denied recent allegations that he misappropriated funds from his Yele Haiti charity, experts on non-profits said they couldn't find serious wrongdoing, except for a lapse of discipline in filing his taxes.
"Did I ever use Yele money for personal benefits? Absolutely not," Jean said Monday at a press conference in Manhattan. "Yele's books are open and transparent, and we have a clean bill of health by an external auditor every year since we started."
The tears began as Jean addressed his fellow Haitians in his native Creole. "I do not cry for myself; I cry for them," he explained, translating for the English-speaking members of the audience. "I tell them, just permit us a little time."
The charges of misappropriated funds emerged over the last several days, as Jean was in Port-au-Prince assisting with relief efforts following last week's earthquake. Donations have poured in during that time, totaling "several million dollars," Hugh Locke, president of Yele Haiti, said at the press conference.
The accusations stem from the tax forms for Jean's charity, Yele Haiti, that came under scrutiny after being made public.
Referring to the forms, Web site The Smoking Gun claimed the Haitian-born musician was using money raised by his foundation to fund personal projects, including his production company, recording studio and a live performance.
Meanwhile, Charity Navigator, which evaluates non-profit organizations, pointed out that Yele Haiti was late in filing three years worth of taxes to the Internal Revenue Service.
In the largest transaction noted by The Smoking Gun, Yele Haiti's 2006 tax filing said it purchased $250,000 worth of "TV airtime and production services from Telemax, S.A which is a for-profit company located in Haiti and which two board members (Wyclef Jean and co-musician Jerry Duplessis) own a controlling interest in."
But tax experts say it's routine for individuals to charge their own charities, so long as services are being provided in return. "The tax rules do not prohibit related party transactions," said Marcus Owen, former chief of the IRS unit that oversees non-profits.
And the filing also stated that the charges were "below market." This is an important distinction supporting legitimacy, according to Owen, who said that rules require that they be at no more than market value.
Locke said that Yele Haiti used businesses affiliated with board members to get the cheapest rates, but he added that the organization would not be doing that again.
"On the books, it looks as though there was a benefit, but there was not," he said, at Monday's press conference. "It was not done with the intent to do anything other than be efficient."
"We find it odd that the charity filed all three 990s (for fiscal years 2005, 2006 and 2007) in August of 2009," Charity Navigator pointed out on its Web site. "Charities are often not especially timely in filing these documents, but this is beyond late."
At the press conference, Locke admitted that the failure to file taxes for three years was a mistake. "We should have been on top of it; we were not," he said.
Experts say that lackadaisical accounting is common among non-profits and is not necessarily a red flag for suspicious behavior.
"They could be well-intentioned, but not take [tax] reporting seriously," said Daniel Borochoff, president of the American Institute of Philanthropy in Chicago in regards to Yele Haiti's tardiness in filing.
"The pattern of filing and the nature of some of the transactions or some of the financial information reported suggests that the organization was probably dormant for a while, that there wasn't much thought put into it," said Owen.
But now that Jean's charitable work in the aftermath of the Haitian earthquake has entered the media spotlight, he'll have to clean up his "casual approach" toward bookkeeping. "All that needs to be tightened up now," Owen said. "There is a more serious amount of money involved."
Charity Navigator could not immediately be reached for further comment.
In 2008, Yele Haiti spent $138,000 on disaster relief and $140,000 on food distribution, compared with $460,000 on two outdoor concerts to promote the arts and culture, according to the tax filings.
Art Taylor, chief executive of the Better Business Bureau's Wise Giving Alliance in Arlington, Va., said there are "legitimate questions about [Yele's] ability to help" in providing disaster relief, which requires more infrastructure support and personnel than the organization can provide.
But Taylor said that Jean's greatest asset -- star power -- could be crucial to the continued development of his native land.
"Maybe six months to a year from now, when the attention of the world turns away from Haiti and moves to something else," he said, "his value as a Haitian and a celebrity will be far greater than it is now."

Gwinnett Daily Post
LILBURN - Brandon Jacobs is hardly the first high-profile multi-sport star to come through Parkview's athletic program.
One thing Jacobs has the others did not, however, is the experience of his predecessors from which to learn how to deal with what is sure to be a hectic school year. Whether the 6-foot-1, 230-pound senior winds up taking his skills to the next level in football - in which he has already given a verbal commitment to Auburn as one of Gwinnett's top returning rushers from a year ago - or baseball - in which he is a top prospect for next year's Major League draft - is still up in the air. What is known, however, is that whatever decision he has to make, it will be an informed one, just like his predecessors. "(Current Atlanta Braves outfielder) Jeff Francoeur had to do it," Parkview football coach Cecil Flowe said. "(Francoeur's Braves teammate) Clint Sammons did it. (Braves farmhand) Tim Gustafson, too. It was all the same thing, and they all came through in good shape. "What (Jacobs') plans are remains to be seen, but he's doing a good job for us (for the Panther football team in preseason practice) so far." Jacobs hopes to continue that good work into his senior season with the Panthers. He knows the best way to do that is to keep his decision about his athletic future - and any comparisons to former Parkview multi-sport greats - from becoming a distraction. "It's an honor to be compared to guys like that," Jacobs said. "The process they went through was tough, and I'll probably have to go through that, too." To that end, Jacobs figures one of the best assets he has is Flowe. While he hasn't talked to any of his predecessors on how they handled their situations, he knows he can go to his coach, who gave each advice - along with then Panthers baseball coach Hugh Buchanan - on coming up with criteria to make their respective decisions. "I know that whatever he tells me (about the process), it's true," Jacobs said of Flowe. "He's been through it with several guys before. So, he knows what he's talking about. So does (Parkview baseball) Coach (Chan) Brown. "Me and my parents have talked a lot, too. It's going to be a hard decision, but I'm going to do what I think is right." While Flowe definitely hopes to guide Jacobs through what figures to be a difficult decision process, he also knows from his experience with past players it is not a "one-size-fits-all" situation. "I just try to stay neutral and give the positives and negatives to each (sport), and Coach Brown will be involved the same way," Flowe said. "With Jeff (Francoeur), he got his college situation taken care of, and with the baseball, his father kind of worked as his agent early on. "In the end, (Jacobs) has to make the choice. He's got the ability to make his mark on both sports. ... But right now, he's got to concentrate on football." Jacobs said considering how his choices may be pulling him in different directions, focusing on just football for now is a blessing, even during what is normally a long, difficult process of preseason practice. "Right now, it's a relief just to know exactly what I'm doing every day. Not that practice is easy, but at least it gives me a break from everything else." SideBar: The Jacobs File · Who: Brandon Jacobs · School: Parkview · Class: Senior · Size: 6-foot-2, 230 pounds · College choice: Auburn · Other Division I-A offers: Alabama-Birmingham, Central Florida, Wake Forest, others · Noteworthy: · Finished fifth among all Gwinnett running backs in yards per game (88.1) despite missing one game and being hobbled by an ankle injury last year. Was also the Panthers' second-leading tackler with 62 combined stops. · Also a highly-rated baseball prospect. Was named to the Daily Post's first-team All-County, and hit .471 with 3 home runs and 12 RBIs for Team Georgia at the Junior Sunbelt Classic in Oklahoma this summer. Was also invited to the East Coast Showcast, sponsored by Major League Baseball. · On the simiarlities of his future choices to that of former Parkview two-sport stars: "It's an honor to be compared to guys like that. The process they went through was tough, and I'll probably have to go through that, too." · Coach Cecil Flowe's comment: "He's got the ability to make his mark on both sports."More like this story

Because mascara is a necessity of life
Posted in General on February 26th, 2015 by Casey Crow
Today I'm jumping from author mode to another one of my jobs. That of a pageant coach for over 20 years. It's pageant season with high school pageants, students gearing up for Distinguished Young Woman, Miss America and Miss Teen USA so I'm fairly inundated right now.
One of the most common questions I get asked is "How do I tape my boobs?" Seriously. But I'll save that topic for another day. Another hot topic is "What's the best mascara?"
My answer…Loreal Extend in the maroon and white tube. It's the kind that adds tubes to the end of your lashes after using a white primer. You still have to use a volumnizing mascara over it because it's not enough on it's on. Sadly, I haven't found a volumnizing mascara I love. I can tell you that Loreal Butterfly Effect in the silver tube and the Loreal False Fiber lashes in the black and gold tube are not worth the money. I'm thinking of trying Cover Girl next. Maybe the one Katy Perry advertises because she's a celebrity, and you know how important it is to believe anything a celebrity says. LOL
I've used the 3D Fiber that everyone is raving about. Mom loves it. I hate it. Way too much work and clumpy thick. My lashes look better with the cheap drug store stuff versus spending $30. Dido on Lancôme. (I can say that because I worked at Lancome for a while.) Plus Loreal owns Lancôme so it's basically the same formula minus the added fragrances.
Lastly I also use Latisse a couple times a week to maintain my long lashes.Its a miracle drug. A friends gets lash extensions so she doesn't have to use mascara at all, but my research revealed it is harmful to your real lashes.
So there you have it. Beauty tip of the day. Do you have a favorite mascara?
Southern Smiles,
Casey Crow

Angels are back on stride heading into 2nd half
ANAHEIM, Calif. (AP)
When Mark Trumbo is smashing line drives into the alleys and Mike Trout is circling the bases with reckless abandon, it's tough to remember when the Los Angeles Angels were in trouble this season because Albert Pujols was struggling.
Not only is the Angels' $240 million first baseman rounding into fearsome form, the youngsters in his lineup are producing All-Star seasons as Los Angeles chases a championship.
The Angels return for the second half Friday at Yankee Stadium against one of the few teams that has been on their level since Trout joined Los Angeles in late April. The Angels have been the majors' best team since the 20-year-old outfielder was recalled, and they've got the fourth-best record in the majors overall (48-38) despite their dismal 6-14 start to Pujols' first season.
''Ever since I've been here, we've been playing better and better and better,'' Trout said. ''I think it's going to continue.''
Los Angeles still trails Texas by four games in the AL West, but the Angels are on track for a playoff berth if they can overcome problems in the back of their rotation and behind the plate.
''Obviously, if we would have just started out like this, we would be in a little different situation,'' said ace Jered Weaver, who made his third straight All-Star team despite missing three weeks to rest a back injury. ''But we're trying to play catch-up a little bit, and we're doing all right. This is how we expected to play coming out of spring training, and we didn't do that, but our record is still up there.''
The Angels are humming thanks to the talented young duo backing Pujols - or maybe the three-time NL MVP is supporting them at this point.
Trumbo and Trout both made their first All-Star teams in a season that began with Trumbo at third base and Trout in the minors. Trumbo lost his job at first base to Pujols and struggled at the hot corner before finding a role in the outfield, but he never lost his stroke at the plate. He headed into the break batting .306 with 22 homers and 57 RBIs.
Trout has energized the Angels from the moment he arrived for his second crack at the big leagues. His Rickey Henderson-esque presence atop the lineup has produced countless superlatives for a guy who won't even turn 21 until next month, and he heads into the second half leading the AL with a .341 average to go with 12 homers, 40 RBIs and 26 stolen bases in just 64 games.
''This isn't a kid that's a fluke,'' Angels manager Mike Scioscia said. ''I'm sure there are going to be rough patches and things any player deals with through the course of a career, and those are going to hit Mike just like they will any player. But as far as what his production numbers are going to be, he has the ability to do what he's doing now. He's not playing over his head. He's just a young player who's playing to his potential at a very, very young age, and that's rare.''
Los Angeles finished the first half with back-to-back shutouts of the Baltimore Orioles, who would join the Angels as the AL's wild-card teams if the playoffs began today. Pujols, Trumbo and Trout all homered, with Pujols improving his numbers to 14 homers and 51 RBIs after failing to homer before May 6.
Indeed, the new pecking order in Anaheim becomes more obvious each week: An oversized poster of Vernon Wells was removed from above the main entrance to Angel Stadium before the club's final homestand last week, replaced by an action shot of Trumbo alongside the shots of Weaver, Pujols, Torii Hunter and left-hander C.J. Wilson.
Wells, the exorbitantly priced outfielder acquired in a disastrous trade for slugging catcher Mike Napoli two seasons ago, will soon return from injury as a backup with two years and $42 million left on his contract. Thanks to the emergence of Trout and Peter Bourjos, along with the improvements of Trumbo and Kendrys Morales, Wells is likely to be either the majors' highest-paid fifth outfielder or another expensive write-off for the Angels.
Although the Angels lead the majors with 13 shutouts after managing just 11 last year, only Wilson (9-5, 2.43 ERA) has been durable and consistent in his first season of a $77.5 million contract. Weaver has been his usual dominant self when injury-free, going 10-1 with a 1.96 ERA.
Along with injuries to Weaver and Jerome Williams, veterans Dan Haren and Ervin Santana have largely struggled. Haren is on the disabled list for the first time in his career after finally acknowledging a stiff lower back, while Santana has been wildly inconsistent.
But the Angels' bullpen has been remarkable since beginning the season as a liability. Ernesto Frieri emerged from nowhere - OK, San Diego - to become Los Angeles' closer with a 0.00 ERA in 26 appearances, while Scott Downs has been nearly as effective in several roles.
The Angels see no reason to change what they're doing, particularly during a difficult post-break stretch against five straight opponents with winning records. Los Angeles acquired Pujols to lead its offense, but the slugger always said he was only one part of a talented team with playoff plans.
''Rather than worry about other teams, it's important to see how we're playing,'' Scioscia said. ''I think we're a team that still has a chance to improve as the summer goes on. What's important is not where we're playing or who we're playing, but how we're playing. We're playing at a high level over the last six weeks, and that makes you feel good about the rest of the year.''

In case you didn't hear – Target recently announced they'll be ceasing operations in Canada. What looked good on paper turned into a multi-year, multi-billion dollar loss. This begs the question – why did Target Canada #fail?
Look no further than the feedback from #TargetCanada employees (and customers). Employees make or break the customer experience. Unhappy employees equals unhappy customers. Unhappy customers equal declining profits.
Back in May of 2014, when it was reported by Gawker that Target had lost nearly 1 billion dollars, they received a dispatch from a management-level employee sharing frustrations as to what may have contributed to the failure. It said, in part:
I am a Canadian and I was hired in early 2012 to take on a leadership role for Target Canada stores. From the beginning, a lot of emphasis, time and energy was put into in my training. The primary focus of which, was acclimating to the Target "culture" – I spent months training in the U.S. at stores, District and Regional offices. I can say that I agree with the previous poster on the "passive aggressive" nature of Target's performance management. The overly sincere "we're here to HELP you" approach was a constant drain on the senses, as it was akin to swimming with smiling sharks. The real problems, however, became much clearer after we started opening stores.
We've heard a lot about the Guest being unhappy with the Target Canada experience, but I can say with confidence that for MANY of us working there, the "Target experience" was not what we expected either. I can disseminate (from my perspective) why the company finds itself in the predicament it does today, and hopefully enlighten some readers on how ingrained and widespread the problems are.
International Assignees or IAs – these are key Team Members from the U.S. at various levels of leadership who came to Canada for a "limited timeline" under the guise of helping set up the stores and teams for success. Instead, we found that these folks were not guides or resources, as much as they were obstacles to progress. If it didn't come from/work in the U.S. then it was not a discussion point. To come to a country as large, demographically and regionally different as Canada, and assume that the same "playbook" used in the U.S. would work in Canada was incredible. The inability of the "IAs" to think and work beyond this led to us attempting to Xerox the U.S. store culture (for Team Members and Guests) instead of develop one that is tailored to Canadian tastes and attitudes. As things began to go downhill, the IAs were extremely pointed, and openly opined that the Canadian Team Members worked "differently & less hard" and overall "took less accountability" than they were used to in the U.S. That was an exact quote that came from my boss (an IA himself). Many of these IAs were scheduled to return to the U.S. this year… And most have been asked to remain. So much for the claim that the Canadian Target business be "run and operated by Canadians…(read more)
Now I could go into details about the poor operational model of #TargetCanada… processes, strategy, customer service practices, culture – though I think this employee (who per further research I've found is not alone in his sentiments) states it best in explaining the failure: "We've heard a lot about the Guest being unhappy with the Target Canada experience, but I can say with confidence that for MANY of us working there, the "Target experience" was not what we expected either."
Target Canada failed at achieving success through people! If your employees, your human capital (which is by far any organizations' biggest and most important asset particularly in an industry like retail), aren't behind your mission, fully engaged, and delivering excellent customer service – how do you possibly expect to succeed?
When in Rome…
…do what the Romans do. Or in this case, the Canadians. The employee who wrote Gawker said that the primary focus of the training was learning the "Target culture." And "If it didn't come from/work in the U.S. then it was not a discussion point." Well, what about the Canadian culture? You know, the culture that Target should have taken the time and effort to understand and appreciate prior to just opening their doors in their country. You can't walk into another culture and expect to do business the same way you do elsewhere. You have to take the time to understand your customers, their needs, wants, and preferred means of doing business (both operationally and personally.) Give thought to the problem your business solves for them and then learn how to adapt your strategy and processes to the new culture where you're doing business…oh and if you can't, or it proves to be too costly, then don't set yourself up for failure.
If it ain't broke…
…don't fix it. Ok, maybe you should fix some things. Like in the case of #TargetCanada the "…passive aggressive nature of Target's performance management." But when Target invaded Canada, they purchased over 100 stores from Zellers, in 2011. Despite losing ground to Walmart Canada – Zellers didn't technically go out of business until 2013. There was a reason why they didn't crumble to Walmart competition in the Canadian marketplace – something about the system still worked. Happy people. When entering new territory, especially if you're replacing stores (and brands), you need to understand what worked and why, so you know what to consider replicating and what to consider replacing.
Business (NOT) as usual…
I know on many levels Canada feels like US North to some people – but it actually is in fact it's own Country. They even have their own money. Some even speak another language. In the words of a Target Canada employee: "To come to a country as large, demographically and regionally different as Canada, and assume that the same "playbook" used in the U.S. would work in Canada was incredible." Copying the same strategy to another demographic doesn't always work. Processes are different (Target Canada faced inventory and pricing issues as a huger factor in their demise) and people are different. To succeed you need to study the region in which you're considering doing business so you understand how – and why – they do business the way they do. You can't just assume if it worked here it will work there.
Moral of the story: if you're thinking of growing your business into a new territory – be sure you understand the culture, the needs and wants of your employees and customers, and implement processes to deliver on those – without going broke! Achieving success through people is key to why businesses grow or fail.

Data suggests that 70% of employees are disengaged. To put this in perspective – 70% is considered barely a passing grade by most educational institutions.
That's an unacceptable statistic for long term growth and success.
Regardless of what type of business you are in – people (human capital) are your biggest asset – people operate your business, service your customers, and help drive innovation – allowing you to compete in a competitive marketplace.
If your people aren't engaged then they likely aren't achieving customer service excellence, increasing operational performance and efficiency, and driving innovation. That's a harsh fact.
But all is not lost. Regardless of industry and size of your organization – engagement begins with behaviors. Here are 5 things you can do for your biggest asset – your people – to increase engagement and retention:
All of these are inexpensive ways to drive engagement within your organization. They show your people – your #1 asset – that you consider them more than just cogs and drones. It's important to keep your employees happy. When you make an effort for your people – they'll make an effort for your business.

Your employees are happy, right? They couldn't possibly be looking for a new job.
Think again.
As reported by Gallup – 70% of workers within the US are either not engaged or are actively disengaged with their job.
That's a big hit to productivity. Now let's add in the true cost to replace an employee – 1.5 times their annual salary on average.
Do the math: # of disengaged employees x 1.5 the average annual salary = what it's going to cost you to ignore your people!
That's a lot of dough – a lot of dough you could use to invest into your business, to give your people the tools they need to succeed and be engaged, or to innovate and grow – not including the institutional knowledge they take with them.
But it still can't be you, right? It must be them.
The good news – this is all fixable. As to the reason why you're experiencing these issues – well…it depends on your business and your situation. How you enable innovation, provide service, attract and retain the right talent, harness technology…I could go on…will go a long way to how productive and profitable you are in 2015.
Moral of the story – make sure you understand the true cost of ignoring your people. It can cost you more than you think.

BRETT HOFFMAN: Braziles shine in Wrangler National Finals
LAS VEGAS — Trevor and Shada Brazile were the power couple at the 55th Wrangler National Finals Rodeo.
He's the world all-around champion who, on Dec. 10, broke the record for the most world titles (19) in the Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association. And on Saturday, he became the PRCA's first $5 million cowboy.
She competed in the National Finals for the first time in barrel racing and finished second in the average and eighth in the world title race as the 2013 NFR concluded its 10-day run Saturday at the Thomas & Mack Center.
During each two-hour NFR performance, Trevor Brazile began by competing in team roping and tie-down roping. Then he caught up with Shada and offered moral support as she raced in and out of the arena.
"It's awesome," Brazile said of competing alongside his wife. "She's helped me my whole career, and she's still helping me. It doesn't matter how much we try to take responsibility off of her shoulders, she's getting every last-minute thing done with the kids, handling tickets and pinning my back number on."
Brazile, 37, who lives in the North Texas town of Decatur, entered the 2013 NFR with 18 world titles, as many as retired steer roper Guy Allen. But Brazile moved ahead of Allen when he mathematically clinched the all-around title during the Dec. 10/Round 6 performance.
Brazile, who turned pro in 1996, said he never had any idea his success would get to this point.
"When I came into this sport, I never thought Guy Allen's record would be beat. When Guy Allen won his 18th title, I said it would never be done," Brazile said. "I watched him win his 16th and 17th world title to surpass Jim Shoulders and then he just kept winning."
Brazile also kept on winning. His span of 19 world titles began in 2002 when he clinched his first of a record 11 all-around buckles. He's also won three tie-down roping gold buckles, four steer roping championships and a gold buckle in team roping heading.
In past years, Shada had assisted him with the complex logistics of traveling the national circuit. But last year, she acquired a young horse named Dial It In, who was loaded with raw talent. Throughout 2012, she groomed the horse to compete on the national rodeo circuit in barrel racing.
In February, Shada got her big break by winning the 2013 San Antonio Stock Show Rodeo and a $12,445 check. Though the horse struggled with injuries during the summer, Shada and Dial It In rallied at the end of the season and qualified for the National Finals by finishing 13th in earnings. The top 15 qualify.
"I never have felt like I was in Trevor's shadow," Shada said. "I did it because I love the sport and I love to compete."
Shada Brazile is from a prominent rodeo family. She's a granddaughter of Clifton Smith, of Childress, who qualified for the NFR in tie-down roping in 1960 and 1962. She's also a niece of Stran Smith, of Childress, the 2008 world champion.
During the NFR, Shada finished in the money in five of the 10 rounds and finished second in the average/aggregate race. She earned $61,899 at the NFR and finished eighth in the Women's Professional Rodeo Association world title race with 2013 earnings of $130,278.
During the 2013 NFR, Trevor Brazile pocketed $170,823 and in turn pushed his career earnings to $5,029,313, which makes him the PRCA's first athlete to surpass $5 million in career earnings.
In the final all-around standings, Trevor Brazile edged No. 2 finisher Jade Corkill $426,011 to $181,554.
Other champions
Though Corkill fell short of winning the world all-around title by a large margin, the Fallon, Nev., cowboy clinched the team roping heeling world title after partnering with Clay Tryan throughout the NFR. Tryan, who is from Billings, Mont., claimed the team roping heading gold buckle.
Other gold buckle winners were Kaycee Feild, Payson, Utah, bareback riding; Chad Ferley, Oelrichs, S.D., saddle bronc riding; Sherry Cervi, Marana, Ariz., barrel racing; Shane Hanchey, Sulphur, La., tie-down roping; Hunter, Cure, Holliday, steer wrestling; and J.W. Harris, Mullin, bull riding.
Cutting horse update
At the National Cutting Horse Association World Championship Futurity in Fort Worth on Dec. 14, Clay Johnson, who grew up in Post and lives near Stephenville, won the open division title after turning in a finals score of 224.5 on Dual Smart Kitty ($200,000 in earnings).
In the non-pro finals, Craig Crumpler, of Wichita Falls, who rode a 3-year-old horse named Junie Wood, clinched the title with a 220.5. He earned $56,825.

After watching coverage of the Olympics in London, I was in the mood to cook something British.
I decided, after hearing it mentioned in a couple episodes of "Doctor Who," to make Jammie Dodgers.
Jammie Dodgers are the brand name for a British biscuit, or cookies as we call it, made from shortbread and raspberry jam. They also are known as jam sandwich cookies.
As we near the end of our alphabetical tour of fruits and vegetables, I remember all the neat recipes I have found. This week is no exception, with watermelon and water chestnuts.
I love watermelon whether it is red, yellow or pink; seeded or seedless. And I never would have imagined the recipes I have for you — a watermelon drink, a watermelon salad and even a smoothie and frozen pops made from watermelon. They are very interesting choices. I already have tried one of the watermelon salads and it was quite tasty.

clarisonic PLUS Skin Care Brush, Lavender
Discover dermatologists' secret to silky-smooth, radiantly fresh skin. Clarisonic goes beyond cleansing by using sonic technology to gently yet deeply cleanse pores of environmental toxins, makeup and bacteria-without abrasion or harsh chemicals. Unlike superficial cleansing, CLARISONIC® removes greater than six times more makeup and actually increases product absorption-making skin more receptive to skincare ingredients (up to 61% of Vitamin C in a recent clinical study). With regular daily use, the Clarisonic reduces dry skin patches, oily areas and blemishes, and immediately leaves skin feeling and looking smoother. Developed by the lead inventor of Sonicare® and used and recommended by leading dermatologists and cosmetic surgeons. The new Clarisonic PLUS has three speeds gentle enough for cleansing the face yet effective for the décolleté, neck and arms. Features include simple control buttons, a customizable T-TIMER and a charge indicator so you're never without your Clarisonic. The Clarisonic PLUS also powers the Spot Therapy Brush Head for noticeably softer, smoother, firmer skin on the body. Gently cleanse and exfoliate, and effectively prepare areas such as the elbows, knees and feet to better absorb skincare products.

I got my Plus some 2 years ago when hype was building, and I have to say, I really really did like it. It did its job, even though the brush was a bit soft for my liking. My face felt clean. Problem is, 2 years later after 1-2 times weekly use the battery is almost dead! The device only holds enough charge for 1 round; which means I'm putting it back in its cradle after EVERY use. And because I take care of the brush heads so well they're still in great condition, while the device sadly is no longer usable. I'm very sad to say that I probably won't be getting another one, because this kind of money for not-that-frequent use is too much for me.

Worth Every Penny
I've been going to a dermatologist since I was in middle school. It was always recommended by my dermatologist but due to cost was alway put on my wish list. I'm 25 now and I've finally made the purchase and I wish I would of done it sooner. I've always been a little obsessed with making sure my face was clean and buying the best and even expensive face cleansers. Well no face cleanser (cheap or expensive), face scrub, mask, or facial has made my face feel and look so amazing. You can actually feel how clean your face feels. I've been using it morning and night for the past 2 weeks ( not harsh on skin at all) and my skin feels smoother, pores look smaller, and I'm not as oily at the end of the day. The brush head is very soft and what makes the Plus awesome is the different speed which allows you to customize for your skin. Overall I think is a great investment for your skin and the compliments I receive about my skin within these two weeks are validation.

Pink Plus Blossom
I just received my new Pink Plus Blossom. It does not look anything likewhat is shown on this site. There are only a few flowers and they are very large. Believe me I would not have ordered this one had I known it was going to be completely different. As for rating the function of this item it is still a little early for me to tell.
- Review from Bloomingdale's
I have the Clarisonic Pro. I finally decided to invest from the salon I work at. In the past year i've had some skin problems and a lot of pimples, and the only thing that worked was Retin-A. Since it made my skin way too dry, I decided to stop and give the Clarisonic Pro a try. It's been about a month, and I LOVE it. Not only does it feel like a facial every time i use it, it has made my skin look like porcelain and feel so much better. I would recommend it to anyone, and skin type. Definitely worth the investment.

The main problem is that everyone thinks they are right, no matter what the subject. Most of the time we are all wrong and I just know I'm right about this. Feel free to correct me though. Ah, now I know what you're thinking, see? You're probably all like: "Vader's finally gone off his trolly."
The thing is, you'd be absolutely right.

Mornin' False alarm on the pregnancy. Periods are back. PHEW! Hehe! Have been doing the withdrawal method for sex but will shift to condoms now.

Yeah, look I know things can get very personal on AT, but I didn't mean for them to get THIS personal - ya know, you telling us how you're pulling your cock out just in the nick of time and how you plan to use condoms from now on etc. I supposed this was bound to happen sooner or later. |

I'm playing Stick It To The Man on PS4 (free from PSN). Neat graphic layout and catchy soundtrack.... but I HATE using the stupid trackpad thing on the dualshock 4. It just totally takes me out of the game to have to stop what I'm going, look down, place finger just SO to use it, then resume playing. I wish there was a way to turn it off. Also it's another game trying to justify the speaker in the controller which is the dumbest thing ever (next to a trackpad) in my opinion. |
RenegadeCZ | May 20 2014, 04:53 pm EDT | |
Morning. I almost always assume I'm smarter than other people. Just today, I played some GTA 5 some of my crew. We had a go with this track called "Expert Stunts 2". The description advised to take one bike, the Bati for the course, or, if you're stunting pro (I'm not), to take the another bike, the Akuma. I already had a custom Akuma, so I my thought was that this can't go wrong. It did. I spent 70 minutes (+30 min to the leader, -20 min to the last guy) on the track, as some of the stunts were nearly impossible on the Akuma. Long story short, I should have listened. |
Breedy_Mcfluff | May 21 2014, 03:14 am EDT | |
"Vader's finally gone off his trolly." You've been that way since the website's tagline went to shit. Then again, I'm probably wrong. You've probably been off your "trolly" long before that. :P |
Morkrul | May 21 2014, 07:34 am EDT | |
how was the old tag? what we lack in quality, we make up in stupidity? |

PHOENIX: Blake Griffin scored 23 points and Jamal Craford added 22 as the Los Angeles Clippers stretched their team-record NBA win streak to 13 games by routing the Phoenix Suns 103-77 on Sunday.
The Clippers, a laughingstock of the league for years, have not lost since November 26, shattering the old club mark of 11 consecutive triumphs established in the 1974-75 season when the team was based in Buffalo.
The Clippers had lost in their 10 prior trips to Phoenix but laid that futility span to rest by taking their sixth triumph on the road during the current win streak.
At 21-6, the Clippers top the Pacific Division and trail only the Oklahoma City Thunder (21-5) for the NBA's best record. The Suns fell to 11-17.
Chris Paul added 17 points and a game-high 13 assists for the Clippers, who also got 11 rebounds from Griffin.
Jared Dudley led Phoenix with 19 points while Argentina's Luis Scola added 11 for the Suns.

International meeting in Vienna for the international research project "Four Disjunctions: Church Renewal in a Secular Age"
On June 8 and 9, Saint Paul University professors Sophie Cloutier and Louis Perron participated in a coordination conference for the international research project "Four Disjunctions: Church Renewal in a Secular Age." This project, which is being carried out by the Council for Research in Values and Philosophy (Washington, DC), is co-directed by Fr. George McLean, OMI, director of the Council, and by Charles Taylor and José Casanova.
The aim of this ambitious project, which is based on Taylor's foundational work, A Secular Age, is to help to create connections between the Church and today's world. It brings together multidisciplinary teams of researchers from North America, Europe and Asia.
Around twenty representatives of these teams attended the meeting in Vienna. Professors Cloutier and Perron direct the SPU team, which will focus on the question of secularism in the Québec context. Their project, which is linked to the Centre for Public Ethics and Governance, was warmly received when they presented it. The SPU team joined the project in Fall 2012 and was at the second coordination meeting held last December in Washington.
In addition to SPU Professors Cloutier and Perron, Professors Shukla, Blais, Beauvais, Meunier (University of Ottawa) and student Anthony Osuji are part of the project.

Daikenki, but Empoleon and Typhlosion are tied for second.
Daikenki, but Empoleon and Typhlosion are tied for second.
Axis Powers: Hetalia<3
Super Special Awesome Charizard.
Now, usually for these sorts of threads I would either give a really inteeresting review or write some huge epic battle between them but in this case, I can't possibly comment.
1.There are so many fans out thre, if Jaroda died first, I'd never forgive myself.
2.There are simply too many to make a battle about.
3.I have forty minutes, not three hours.
Though my top favorite Starters in each Generation all have a high esteem in my heart, so they all are considered #1 one way or another... I'll have to pick Torterra out of all of them. Grass/Ground turtle that's huge and crushes stuff. Lots of love to Blastoise, Meganium, Blaziken and Jalorda, though. It's hard to pick, but I only can pick one. XP
"I'm sure that we and Pokémon have helped each other and enriched the world since ancient times. These memories have been engraved in each Pokémon's heart! So, I want Pokémon and people to get closer and closer! As the Champion, I want to tell that to everybody!"
Daikenki is beating Jaroda.
Daikenki is epic, but I like torterra.
But I voted for Daikenki. :U
The King:SWAMPERT!!!111!!!1! =D
Other Favorites: Charizard, Blastoise, Blaziken, Torterra, Empoleon, Meganium, Daikenki
Ones I Kinda Like, but not that much: Venusaur, Feraligatr, Typhlosion, Sceptile
Indifferent: Embuoo, Infernape
Really, REALLY Dislike it: Jalorda
It's no surprise to me that Blaziken is winning. Speed Boost allows Blaziken to get the first, and last hit in a battle.
Swampert , I like him best.
Swampert is definately my favorite. I always (whenever possible) have a Swampert on my team, even in the URPG.
Posted via Mobile Device
Even though I'm almost guaranteed to start with Snivy, this picture, along with the fact that Daikenki uses the shells on its front legs as scabbards for its swords, just made it the best starter ever.
Sceptile. I prefer its design and its movepool.
Blastoise, no doubt there. It's my favourite Pokémon of all times.
And I don't want to be a nitpicker, but Blastoise is spelt wrong in the poll. ^^;
Blog | Banner shop | Fanclub
Charizard is my favorite, but Feraligatr comes in a close second.

British Works for Cello and Piano - Volume 2 York BOWEN (1884-1961) Cello Sonata, Op.64 (1921) [24:58] Arnold BAX (1883-1953) Cello Sonata (1923) [30:02] John IRELAND (1879-1962) Cello Sonata (1923) [20:10] Paul Watkins (cello): Huw Watkins (piano) rec. November 2012, Potton Hall, Dunwich, Suffolk CHANDOS CHAN 10792 [75:28] The second volume of the Watkins brothers' survey of British cello works invariably pays necessary homage to one of the most potent of native cellists, Beatrice Harrison. All three works are very much 'her' works, all having been premiered by her. Indeed all were composed in the years 1921-23 and, whilst very different stylistically, they reveal just how eloquently British composers were writing for the cello. York Bowen's Sonata has been recorded before but never so powerfully as here. The Watkins duo catches the virtuosic sweep of the music vesting it with fast tempi, dynamic variance, and colouristic breadth. They catch the impulsive quality of the music well. They do this without at all downplaying the serioso quality of the slow movement, take it at a forward-moving tempo, whilst ensuring that they rise to the crest of the phrases with great richness of tone. Huw Watkins plays the little dappled piano writing with considerable warmth. In the finale I'm sure Harrison would have enjoyed essaying some rich portamentos and expressive shifts but they, very largely, are not much part of this contemporary duo's arsenal. I rather miss that, but appreciate that their aesthetic is different. This is certainly a bigger, faster and more overtly virtuosic reading than that by the Endymion Ensemble players, Jane Salmon and Michael Dussek, on a fine all-Bowen Dutton Epoch CDLX7120 disc. I'm not sure why the Bax Sonata hasn't been recorded more often, though it does take a structure-conscious team to steer its way through the work's length and complexities. The broodingly romantic writing is contemporary with the first two symphonies and there's a chamber-symphonic quality to the music's density. It's greatly to the duo's credit that they are able, so seamlessly and logically, to phrase through the slow movement whilst obeying the instructions without any signs of awkwardness. At a slower tempo, such as that adopted by Florence Hooton and Wilfred Parry back in 1958 [Lyrita REAM.2104], there is a danger of gears changing from the molto tranquillo back to the tempo primo. Note, too, how well the Watkins team plays the Poco piu lento section of the finale, taking it sufficiently buoyantly (but without unduly rushing it) so that it connects again with the re-establishment of the initial tempo. Composed in the same year as Bax's Sonata, John Ireland's is by far the best known and most recorded of the trio. Once again, as in the case of the Bowen and Bax, Beatrice Harrison didn't leave behind a recording of the Ireland. By the time it was recorded Ireland had been teamed with Spanish cellist Antoni Sala and their 1928 recording is on Dutton. I do hope however that the BBC - or someone else - will release the composer's much later broadcast performance with Anthony Pini. Both these performances show how Ireland, notorious for his strict insistence on fellow musicians following his lead and not playing too fast, wanted his music to 'go'. Though as close listeners to his own recordings know the results seem not always to align with what he said. In the case of the Watkins duo they're at it again. They take a very fast tempo for the first movement. In fact I'm not sure if it's faster than I've ever heard it - but it matters rather more whether the music emerges structurally intact, which I think it does. Once again they're at pains to bind the Largamente and Tranquillo sections and not to let them become too becalmed. By contrast they don't push the slow movement too hard and are right up to tempo in the finale. There are other fine performances on disc, such as the famed old Navarra-Parkin on Lyrita, Julian Lloyd Webber and John McCabe on ASV (not dissimilar tempi to Sala and Ireland) and the Nash Ensemble's Karine Georgian and Ian Brown on Chandos, who are just a touch majestic, perhaps, in the opening movement. As an old codger flying kites, I'd like someone to restore the Revolution LP of Derek Simpson and Leonard Cassini. My copy is gritty and I want to retire it. I've sometimes found the Watkins duo just a little cool in this kind of repertoire and I dare say that other pairings might care to elongate phrases and bring more overt warmth to bear. Here, however, I'm impressed by their acute concern for structural integrity and fine tonal projection. There are also fine notes and the Potton Hall recording quality is first-class. I'm eagerly looking forward to volume 3. Jonathan Woolf Previous review: John France
