Pollo Tropical Brings Back Grilled Shrimp
Read More About
Beginning this month, Pollo Tropical brings back its popular grilled shrimp marinated in garlic, then flame-grilled to perfection.

Beginning this month, Pollo Tropical brings back its popular grilled shrimp marinated in garlic, then flame-grilled to perfection.
Pollo Tropical, the fast-casual concept known for its citrus-marinated, flame-grilled chicken and array of authentic sauces and sides, continues its Georgia expansion with the opening of its newest location on February 27. The restaurant, located at 5815 State Bridge Road, is the sixth Pollo Tropical in the Atlanta area and the first in Georgia built with the company's new Caribbean-style design.
Pollo Tropical, Florida's fast-casual concept known for its citrus-marinated, flame-grilled chicken and array of authentic sauces and sides, brings its Tropical Lite menu to all locations this month, offering five meal choices under 510 calories each.
The menu, which was first tested in Pollo Tropical's West Palm Beach restaurants in late 2013, features a new, citrus chicken entree salad, soup with a chicken wrap, a TropiChop, a grilled chicken breast platter with rice and vegetables, and a quarter chicken with citrus chicken side salad, each ranging from 340 to 510 calories.
Fiesta Restaurant Group Inc., which operates the fast-casual dining chains Taco Cabana, Pollo Tropical, and Cabana Grill, announced the promotions of several of its top executives.
Chief financial officer Lynn Schweinfurth was promoted to senior vice president after serving as CFO and vice president for the company since July 2012. During her tenure at Fiesta, she has helped implement new corporate systems, infrastructure, and staffing at the company's new headquarters in Addison, Texas, 18 months ahead of schedule after the spin-out from Carrols Restaurant Group.
Pollo Tropical, Florida's fast-casual concept, continues its Texas expansion with the opening of its first San Antonio location. It will share its grand opening celebration and adjacent pad site at 6819 N. Loop 1604 W. with the newest location of its sister restaurant, San Antonio's Taco Cabana, which will debut its new prototype restaurant design.
Like a tropical storm, many different elements came together in 2013 to create a standout year for Fiesta Restaurant Group, parent company to fast-casual brands Pollo Tropical and Taco Cabana. After years of climbing sales and store counts, tinkering with the store design and menu, and strategic growth and marketing initiatives, both brands landed on the Contenders list for the first time, Pollo Tropical at No. 62, Taco Cabana at No. 64.
But while the two brands share a parent company, they don't share many other resources or even markets. Not yet, anyway.
The NBA Finals repeat between the Miami Heat and the San Antonio Spurs have given two Fiesta Restaurant Group COOs a reason to renew a sibling-restaurant rivalry of their own.
San Antonio-based Taco Cabana COO Todd Coerver and Miami-based Pollo Tropical COO Danny Meisenheimer are wagering that their respective hometown will win the finals. The losing city's COO will have to go to the winner's city and work a busy three-hour lunch shift in a "superfan" uniform designed by the winning city's home office.
Pollo Tropical is now accepting nominations for outstanding educators in the 23 counties it serves for the Fourth Annual Pollo Tropical Teachers of the Year awards.
Pollo Tropical, Florida's fast-casual concept known for its citrus-marinated, flame-grilled chicken and array of authentic sauces and sides, launches its expansion into Texas on March 28 with the opening of its first location in the state at 5290 Belt Line Road in Addison.
During any given year, a restaurant company that records a 50 percent increase in its stock price could expect to crow pretty loudly about the accomplishment. But even that type of gain wasn't good enough to crack the top 10 among publicly held limited-service restaurant operators in 2013, as equities market soared.
"It's been a very good year for the market and for many restaurant companies," says R.J. Hottovy, a dining industry analyst at Chicago's investment firm Morningstar. "There were some pockets of weakness, but most restaurant [stock] values have had good gains."

Dave Robertson, Marketing & Sales Consultant
2015 is here, your sales target is set, but are you confident that you have applied resources in the right places to reach the goal? Here's a quick test to make sure you will reach your sales projections.
First, take your sales target; 50 homes, and divide it by your closing percentage, 10. That gives you 500 appointments needed with a sales person in order to sell 50 homes. Now divide the 500 by your conversion rate of qualified prospects, probably around 25%. That means you must have 2,000 ready willing and able prospects who are close to purchase. Then divide that by the percentage of your database that is ready willing and able to buy now, probably about 25%. This means that you should have 8,000 prospects in your database to make your sales target of 50 homes.
Now analyze your 50, 500, 2,000 & 8,000 to find the low points and devote more budget to those areas. For example, if you only have 3,000 leads, you need to get more prospects into the pipeline; lists, advertising, expos etc. Or maybe you have enough leads, but you are not getting them on-site and need to plan community events that will create urgency to visit.
If your conversion percentages are low, let's say you only close 4% of every appointment, perhaps you need to better train the sales team or adjust purchase incentives and value proposition; price & urgency. What do buyers get for their money, is it compelling and competitive? What engagement process does your team take buyers through before and during the sales appointment.
The point is that if you act now there is still time to adjust your plan and realign so that you will make that goal. Vince Lombardi said "The game is won in the fourth quarter". But it's never too soon to start adjusting and make sure your fourth quarter doesn't have to be a turn around. Make it a great New Year!

just forkin great.
my target estimation for your intelligence is #$%$"
its not a fair fight when the FEDS continue to tie your hands. when the rates go up, earnings will go up. All regionals are getting slammed because of the FED controlled environment. RF is now stuck but so is every bank.
markets can remain irrational longer that one can stay solvent......not on my watch

LOL.........copper and oil are going the way of the fossilized dinosaur. SOLAR CITY, CANADIAN SOLAR thats the new shyte baby.
short the USO......PBR is too unstable to short. a short squeeze can happen with the blink of an eye.
buy both regional darlings.
The lower the price the less risky it becomes according to good ole uncle warren
It looks like the same happened with natural gas prices... they tanked in half and have never recovered in 4 years. This may be the perfect storm folks. China is slowing. emerging countries are shunning fossil fuels and going solar. billion dollar solar projects springing up everywhere in Africa. This is a classic supply and demand issue.

Tyson Chandler ready for opener
DALLAS -- Mavericks center Tyson Chandler, who needed two stitches to close a cut on his right thumb last week, expects to play in Wednesday's season opener against the Charlotte Bobcats.
The Mavs aren't certain when guard Rodrigue Beaubois will be ready to make his season debut after recovering from an August surgery to repair a broken bone in his left foot.
More on the Mavericks
News, notes and analysis of the Mavericks from ESPNDallas.com's Tim MacMahon, Jean-Jacques Taylor and our team.
Blog » ESPN Dallas »
Chandler practiced Monday for the first time since injuring his thumb in a preseason loss to the Orlando Magic last week. Barring a setback Tuesday, he'll be in the rotation for the season opener, although it isn't clear whether he'll start or come off the bench behind Brendan Haywood.
"I was able to do everything and felt good out there," said Chandler, who was traded from Charlotte to Dallas this offseason. "Initially going out there, I felt a little skeptical about catching the ball and stuff, but it went well. I felt good today in practice. I'm ready to go."
Beaubois remains in a protective boot. He briefly removed the boot and did light conditioning and basketball drills, but hope that he'd be ready for the season opener ended when he experienced soreness two and a half weeks ago. The Mavs do not have a timetable for Beaubois' return.
"We're going to take that really slow," president of basketball operations Donnie Nelson said. "We want to make sure that he's 100 percent. We're not putting any timetable on that. When he's right, he'll be out there."

If it is just abcessed and painful, it cannot hurt your other teeth, but an abscess is a serious health problem. If it were me I would call the dentist in your city ask if they would help you. Most are willing to help someone in pain, even if they are closed. My dentist gave us his cell phone and told us to call day or night if we needed help. He also said "don't go to the ER".
I found this really helpful video on Youtube...
She talks about how to avoid swelling, pain and infection in a natural way
Here is a link that might be useful: Wisdom Teeth Advice
Hope you got your teeth problem solved. Best way to tell if wisdom tooth coming in sideways against tooth next to it is open your mouth & look with a flashlight, may need a friend to look if on top & see if there is a tooth part way through or top doesn't look like it should. If it is coming in sideways it can get very painfully. I had 1 like that. They can come in any age from around 17 to 40 or so. I was in late 30's when I had 3 taken out. There was no 4th 1. 2 had come in 1 looking fairly normal but hurting when I ate & other sideways. 3rd 1 was not out yet but in odd position so I was put under & had it all done same day. Then you have to have food & drink that is pretty much room temp for several days. I thought I could drink Iced Tea & I ended up looking like I had mumps, told dentist I thought ice was good for injury etc. He said, not in the mouth!!! So take a good look & see what is going on. If there is no tooth but gum is very painful something else may be going on. Good Luck!
Mine eventually came out and were then pulled. Not all at once. I still have one stuck in there which have many fine nerves wrapped around root - they left that one in.
I recently had the last of three pulled a couple years ago.
Don't freek about pain unless it is overwhelming! I use hydrogen peroxide to gargle. It foams like crazy when there is an infection brewing.
I also do oil swishing. Be careful with over the counter pain relievers. Did you know tylenol has shellac in it and can damage kidneys? yech.
Pain is your body telling you something. Listen to it. But don't freak out. I had a filling redone and it hurt for months. Takes a very long time for soft tissue to heal. If I had complained to dentist, I am certain there would have been an unnecessary root canal done to shut me up. So I watched. I cleaned. I rinsed. I let it heal. NO PROBS today and NO ROOT CANAL which I sometimes wonder if they are needed at all.
Hope you feel better.

A classic variant of "running a train" or an "eiffel tower". One participant bends over forward, as if having a traditional train run on him/her. Another does a back-bend over the original skeezer, so that their bodies are now perpendicular. Four other trash-barrel gutter sluts are involved, two being pleasured orally, two nailing from behind. These four are then being screwed from behind by four other participants. 10 people total must be involved so that the snowflake is completely symmetrical and multi-faceted, much like the sort that falls from the sky.

Many people in Colorado have heard that fast food workers are attempting to get their wages increased. Recently, McDonald's workers at locations in 19 cities filed complaints with the Occupational Safety and Health Administration that they are concerned about being injured at work. Some believe that the complaints are part of the campaign to win higher wages, but their concerns still could turn out to be valid.
Reports indicate that OSHA has already begun investigating the workers' claims. Some of the allegations include popping grease causing burns and no protective equipment for dealing with hot surfaces. Even when cleaning the grills, workers are required to leave them on, and without gloves, employees say they suffer from burns. Slip-and-fall hazards are also a concern for employees. Some allegations say that there is a substantial lack of training on equipment, such as the fryers.

Hi I am Laura I live on the beautiful Gold Coast, born and bred a Queenslander. The Gold Coast is a place of scenic beaches which stretches from Paradise Point in the north to Coollangatta at he New South Wales border. Behind the coast sits the hinterland where the township of Mt Tamborine may be found.
Personally I have only ever travelled in the Pacific, via cruise, a stay in Tahiti back in the 70's and I worked in New Zealand many years ago too.One of the favourite things I like to do is record the things I see in the form of a photo. I always had a camera in my hand as a child and young adult and now that I have an iPad which I take everywhere and I have become an instragram iPad addict. Therefore very passionate about photography.I do enjoy a social drink and enjoy watching a few Aussie soapies on the TV. I have a small dog Maltese X Shitzu at home. I have named him Oskar. One can't help but love to feed the Rainbow Lorikeets in the back garden of my home I enjoy hosting people in my home which I have been doing for several years, mostly uni.students. I have hosted people for short stays through airbnb and also have stayed in Melbourne in host homes. Airbnb is a great way to meet people while seeing the world.
My home on the Gold Coast is handy to the Gold Coast Theme Parks, Movie World and Dreamworld..

Home Lighting L.E.D.'s
I've seen some cool things about L.E.D.'s in home lighting use.
Does anybody have an opinion of L.E.D. home lighting?
Anybody have them?
I hear they save a ton of money on electricity, I wonder if it'll be the new wave of lighting that'll actually catch on.
If you'll scroll down in this thread to a post called "Ralleia!" you'l find some opinions, offered by a lighting engineering student, on the topic. The general gist of it seems to be that LEDs for use in general illumination are rapidly improving and show a lot of promise, but aren't ready for prime time. Fluorescents are still a far better choice, when you factor in the cost of fixtures, and most people find the light quality rather poor.
LEDs show great promise for the future, but they won't save you a ton on electricity just yet.
I just went through a three-day exercise to see if I should use LEDs for plant grow lights, and here's what I found about their electrical efficacy:
Red LEDs were best at 55 lumens per watt (lpw)
White LEDs were 25-29 lpw
Blue was weakest at 10 lpw.
They were also way too pricey. From my calculations, a single 40W fluorescent tube produces about 3200 lumens, last about 3.5 years and cost about $2. In order to generate the same amount of lumens of red light, it would cost me over $600 initially, burn more electricity, though it would last 13.5 years. For white light, the cost would be about double the red light for the same number of lumens.
For reference, lumen efficacy of other common lamp types are:
standard incandescents : 5 - 18 lpw
tungsten halogen: 15 - 25 lpw
low-wattage compact fluorescent : 20 - 55 lpw
high-wattage compact fluorescent : 50 - 80 lpw
linear fluorescent : 65 - 95 lpw
There are a couple other types of high lumen output standard lamps (sodium, metal halide, and mercury vapor), but their lengthy on-cycle time makes them unsuitable for interior household lighting (meaning it can take 2 - 20 minutes for them to come up to brightness). They also aren't very good at producing "white" light.
All that being said, LEDs have been doubling in lumen efficacy every 18-24 months, while the price has been decreasing by 20% per year. By about 2010 white LEDs should bust the 200 lpw mark, while the price will have dropped exponentially as well. At that point, many people (including me!) will find LEDs irresistably attractive.
"Fluorescents are still a far better choice, when you factor in the cost of fixtures, and most people find the light quality rather poor."
The newer, better flourescents seem to me to produce a very good quality light. We use them in a lot of places and plan to use them in our remodeled kitchen -- assuming we get it done before the LEDs are ready for prime time. ;-)
LED's are great for battery lights because they produce a fair amount of light with the reduced voltage when a battery is half discharged. An incandesant bulb would barely glow and a flouresant wouldn't light at all under the same conditions.
This gives the impression to most people that LEDs are super efficient. That is not true. and may never be true. Every technology has a limit. Although they will certainly be improved over what's available today.
for house lighting with a constant voltage supply, fluoresants are still much more efficient.
There are efficient lighting products on the market already and they are not viewed as upscale. Recessed incadescent cans, halogens, track... make more efficient space heaters than lamps but people like them better. So they may be getting better, whiter and cheaper but the big question I would have is will they be used in as many applications as even compact florescents and I don't think so.
How do people like the Christmas LED lights? They are flying off the shelves in my city and the electric utility has provided incentives for "trading in" your traditional lights. I hope the energy savings are real, because I find the quality of light rather cold and strange, just not Christmasy enough. The red and yellow ones are OK but the blue and white ones hurt my eyes. JMHO.
LED christmas lights may be a great application for led's. Not so much because of the energy savings, but because of the life of the bulbs. Every year i spend hours swapping bulbs trying to get last years lights to work. I'm too cheap to buy new bulbs until I'm absolutely certain last years lights don't work and by that time the stores are closed and I have to make the old ones work!
I get a lot of comments about the LED christmas strings we use outdoors. They're actually fairly inexpensive Chinese-made lights (are any of them made anywhere BUT China???), and the faceted plastic "raspberry" covers over the too-directional LEDs don't provide very good light diffusion. Thus a few of the individual lights - the ones aimed just right - jump out at the viewer, while others are of rather mediocre brightness. Against a dark house on our dimly-lit road, they're still plenty bright.
What usually catches the eye is the intense, highly saturated "blueness" of the blue LEDs. It is a thing to behold. The reds are also good. The yellows and greens are a bit wussy.
We have no white LEDs. It seems to me that the light from them is so cold that it would make convincing stars - and that's about all they'd be good for.
Ours also have a pronounced 60 Hz flicker. LEDs are a DC device. These simple light strings appear to be nothing more than 70 series-connected LEDs. I don't think they even have a blocking diode, unless one is hidden in the plug, which suggests the LEDs themselves may be a bit out of the ordinary (I've read that most LEDs don't do well when reverse-biased). A full-wave rectifier on the input might improve the appearance, but I haven't tried that yet. (It might also overheat them by exceeding their duty cycle.)
The good news is that their energy usage is trivial. I'm very happy about that and will continue to use them.
I'm having some pretty great results with LED lighting. Much, much better than T-5 fluorescent. See my web page at http://www.greenpinelane.com for pictures of my aeroponics with LED lighting. I'm using 630 NM for Red and 470 NM for Blue. I never got great tomatoes using fluorescent and the LEDs are comfortable on the eyes and electric bill. Each red light is 15 Watts and blue is 3 watts usage.
I am a lighting Designer for the entertainment industry and have a fair amount of LED lighting in my home and garden. One of the issues that most aren't aware of is that LED in it's nature is very color specific. I have produced a seminar using a childs rubber ducky, I will hold it up in front of a traditional source amber light and it will appear as you would expect. I will then use a color mixing (RGB) LED fixture to make the same Amber color. When I hold the duck up in front of the LED it becomes quite red, the name of the seminar is Evil Duck ;). The reason it goes red is because the LED's are mixing Red and Green to make the perceived Amber, problem is that no Amber light source is actually involved so there is no Amber for the duck's pigment to reflect. It uses the Red to reflect the Red in its pigment. Unlike most other common sources of light, LED is a single frequency source of light to begin with and many clients are surprised how things "appear" under LED lighting. Just a cautionary note for some. Peace, Tony
Found an interesting site talking about LED lighting. Some interesting numbers.
Fluorescents do about 80 ~ 100 lumens / watt. Incandescents do about ~17 lumens per watt. Some "hot" LED's on Ebay are doing ~ 60 lumens per watt.
One caveat of LED's and their "intensity" => usually measured in Candelas => that is; over a specified beam angle; essentially they are "directional". An LED advertised at 130 candelas sounds great . . . but it's over ~ 12 degree beam width ( narrow ) => light output is ~ 4.5 lumens ( lumens is "overall light" . . like radiating over 360 degrees ). It's just concentrated in a pretty narrow beam but will not "area" light much.
Also states that LED's are presently about 100 times the cost per lumen; of a decent fluorescent light.
We're not there yet . . but with prices dropping ~ 20% / year; it's coming sometime.
Right now; they are good candidates where only a relatively small area needs illumination; and that lifetime is a concern => they will typically do 100,000 hours ( 10 YEARS ) if you treat them reasonably.
Decent web site with links to all kinds of stuff including mfr's websites and show and tell stuff for what's coming up . . . .

The guy only wants the data, and i took it out of it and gave it to him. So he told me that the devices is all yours.
I've been trying to fix it ever since he told me that.
The phone boots up normally, sound is working, vibration is too.
The screen's backlight, although set to maximum, it too dim due to water damage. So i took it to a repair shop, he replaced the screen, and a piece of hardware inside the board, but the screen works for about 10 minutes then completely goes off. So we put back the old screen and peice and the same thing happens, 10 mins of dim brightness... then no brightness at all. I'm currently trying to root it so i could stream and control it via PC. I now have it with a very dim screen that works for 30 minutes then needs to rest for 5 minutes so it could go on again.
Any suggestions on what i should replace to really solve that problem is very much appreciated as i really would like to make this device go alive again.

We wanted to have a quick look in there as we started out, but apparently it was used in the morning for praying or something, so couldn't! But now we were back, God had rid this church of these plebs and we were free to explore. Alleluia. It was pretty amazing to think that parts of this church were built almost 1000 years ago and are still ...

More in Outdoors
Clematis terniflora — common name: 'Sweet Autumn' Clematis
- Late-flowering clematis
- Vigorous, prolific vines — can grow from 15 to 20 feet
- An abundance of star-shaped white, fragrant, flowers in late spring, early fall. The flowers smell like vanilla.
- Self-seeds abundantly.
- Deciduous vine — drops its leaves in the winter
- Sun to partial sun — grows fairly well in partial shade as long as it has its tops in the sun
- Roots prefer a cool shade area, tops in the sun
- Water regularly the first year
- Plants are prone to tangle. They should be pruned back hard after the first year of growth to encourage branching — cut back to a pair of strong buds about 12 inches from the ground.
- They also need support — trellis, arbors, etc.

For families with children, finding an affordable hotel in many European cities can pose a phenomenal challenge. Resist the temptation to let travel agents pick up the task, though, as their room finder services are rarely geared towards returning competitive prices. In most countries, a one-star hotel will be acceptable, because hotels have to clear rigorous safety and cleanliness standards to receive any rating in the first place. For those traveling alone or with more flexibility, hostels are the key to savings, with more than 2,000 hostels across the continent, usually right in the city center, offering discounts for students and the over 55s. Alternatively, Rick Steve recommends family-run bed-and-breakfast accommodation, not just for the price but also for the chance to get to know the country.
How to Travel Cheap in Europe
Eight of the world's 20 most expensive cities are in Europe, according to 2013 research by the Economist Intelligence Unit, which wouldn't seem to bode well for prospective visitors. However, the continent is wide, complex and varied, meaning there are plenty of opportunities to unearth deals.
Budget Accommodation
Cheap Tickets
Other than traveling during low season, there are plenty of smart ploys to save money on transport. Buy a Rail Europe pass -- which must be booked before you get to Europe -- for discounted travel covering more than 50 train companies across the continent. You can buy a pass to cover either a single country or a region. Otherwise, booking tickets in advance online can be considerably cheaper, especially in the UK, but tickets are not flexible. Renting a car is rarely a cost-saving measure in Europe, with tolls, high parking fees, and exorbitant gas prices in countries such as Italy and the UK. Air travel, on the other hand, is sometimes ludicrously cheap, with budget airlines such as RyanAir and EasyJet covering all the major cities. Bear in mind, though, that these are no-frills airlines fly to secondary airfields outside their advertised cities.
Competitive Seasons
The best time topick up the cheapest deals in Europe is between October and April, according to "Rick Steve's Europe," with shoulder seasons from April to June and September to October. Visiting most European cities during this period usually guarantees cheaper flights and accommodations, albeit with notable exceptions. You wouldn't have much luck finding a cheap, last-minute room in Munich in late September and October, for example, as the city is in the throes of Oktoberfest. The most expensive time to visit Europe is June to August. However, this is rarely the time to see many cities at their best. Paris and Rome, for example, wind down considerably over the searing summer months. For other cities, such as London and Berlin, activity is vibrant year-round.
Frugal Tips
In general, Eastern Europe is cheaper to visit than Western Europe, although the difference between the Euro zone countries and the rest is less defined than in the past. Lonely Planet recommends the Albanian Riviera for deserted Mediterranean beaches on a budget, with Berlin and Lisbon among the most affordable city breaks. Even in countries often perceived as expensive, savings are there for the taking. Museums and galleries in London, for example, are usually free, while buying a Paris Pass secures savings on admission to more than 60 museums and cultural sites, fast track entry and public transport. Rick Steve recommends staying away from restaurants in tourist areas, particularly those near famous tourist sites. If possible, look for local restaurants with a set menu, or buy groceries and take a picnic with you each day.

In case the name of this product wasn't obvious enough, it's designed as an alternative to Thermage treatments. Thermage is a cosmetic corrective procedure that uses radiofrequency energy to heat skin, causing a controlled, nonablative wound that stimulates new collagen production. It is a viable option for tightening skin and smoothing the appearance of wrinkles, and the results continue to improve as more is learned about how to perform the procedure to get the best results.
Does Avon's alternative even come close to mimicking the effect of Thermage? Not in the least. This is a surprisingly lackluster formula for a cream advertised as having "potent ingredients." It consists primarily of water, slip agents, triglyceride, several thickeners, shea butter, film-forming agent, preservatives, several plant extracts, minerals, and a tiny amount of vitamin E. Avon refers to this as their "most advanced and powerful facial lifting product ever." Well, it isn't, at least not from any published research, or any research Avon is willing to part with, and not in comparison to other products Avon sells. At best, this is a decent moisturizer for someone with normal to slightly dry skin, but the menthol derivative (menthyl lactate, used in a small amount to create the impression that the product is doing something) isn't the best for any skin type. In fact, the irritation this can cause (and other irritants like fennel don't help, either) can hurt skin's healing process and ability to produce healthy collagen. Your skin deserves better than this!
Lastly, we wish this wasn't the case, but this product cannot lift sagging skin. The multiple factors that cause skin to sag (sun damage, muscle laxity, hormonal shifts, gravity, bone loss) cannot be addressed by skin-care products or any single ingredient or blend, regardless of how exotic or scientific they seem. The only solution for sagging skin is cosmetic corrective procedures (including Thermage) or cosmetic surgery.
Avon's most advanced and powerful facial lifting product ever. The pain-free, hassle-free and appointment-free cost-effective at-home answer to professional thermal facelifts. The power behind this cream is an exclusive technology called Triple-Sonic Technology, which goes to work immediately. So advanced, it was formulated to work on the same dermal support structures targeted by thermal face lifts – fortifying damaged tissue with new collagen production. The potent ingredients in this cream fuse to help provide a lifting, tightening and firming effect. In addition, it is formulated to help stimulate the production of three different structural proteins that diminish with age – collagen, elastin and fibronectin – resulting in the restoration of firm, youthful skin and facial shape.

Avon At-A-Glance
Strengths: Broad-spectrum sun protection from most of the SPF products; a selection of good cleansers, moisturizers, and serums; a phenomenal concealer and a handful of other excellent makeup products at bargain prices; the company provides complete ingredient lists on its Web site and offers some of the most helpful Customer Service associates in the industry.
Weaknesses: The Clearskin products are mostly irritating and poor choices for anyone battling blemishes; the Anew Clinical lineup isn't as impressive as its made out to be; an overreliance on jar packaging diminishes the antioxidants found in many Avon moisturizers; endless, unnecessarily repetitive moisturizers with exaggerated, outlandish claims; some of the foundations look unnatural.
The last few years have been an interesting time for the world's largest direct seller. Avon is sold in 120 countries and has an enormous range of products that goes beyond skin care and makeup, all sold by five million Avon representatives racking up annual sales of over $8 billion (Source: www.avoncompany.com). Yet due to several quarters of lackluster or poor financial performance, the company announced a multiyear restructuring plan in 2006. The anticipated cost of these changes is upwards of $500 million, which includes downsizing underperforming areas and focusing on remarketing their star products. In recent years, those key products have had "cosmeceutical" appeal, with claims that have gone beyond reality (but overexaggerated claims sell big in the cosmetics industry).
The Anew Clinical line ushered in several products claiming to work like (or, in some instances, better than) cosmetic corrective procedures. Whether you are considering laser treatments, Botox, Thermage, collagen injections, or even liposuction, the ads for Anew Clinical were designed to make you rethink that decision.
It is definitely impressive that Avon invested $100 million on a state-of-the-art research and product development facility in New York, but despite some innovative products that compete with the best of the best (typically for much less money), no cosmetics company has (or will) produce skin-care products that rival or beat the results obtainable from medical procedures. It's admittedly easier to slather on a cream or stroke a pad over your face than to make an office call and shoulder the expense for a cosmetic corrective procedure, but in this case convenience and savings don't equal—or even come close to—comparable results. And lest we forget, despite the onslaught of so-called cosmeceutical products claiming to mimic the results such procedures provide, the number of these procedures being performed increases each year. If any of these works-like-(insert cosmetic corrective procedure here) products did work, the number of procedures would be declining, not rising.
The National Advertising Division (NAD) took issue with several claims Avon made in ads for their Anew Clinical products (Source: www.nadreview.org/default.asp?SessionID=1149178&DocType=1&CaseType=1). In some cases, Avon reworded their claims in ad reprints, while in others they "respectfully disagreed" with the NAD conclusions but agreed to take their comments into consideration for future ads. We'll see how this turns out, but, based on their current ads, the message remains that Anew Clinical products are at the forefront of making cosmetic corrective procedure results as easy as calling your Avon representative and reciting your credit card number.
As a major international cosmetics company, Avon has several initiatives in place that prove its commitment to women and the environment. Whether donating to women's health concerns (most notably breast cancer), surpassing environmental regulations, or financially supporting alternative methods to animal testing, Avon's principles are responsible and admirable. If you pay attention to the best of what they have to offer, you will not only be supporting Avon's mission to improve the lives of women but also gaining some wonderful products, making it a win-win situation.
The bad news is that unless you know what you want and order from Avon's Web site, dealing with an Avon representative tends to be a frustrating experience. Try as they might, most of them are mere order-takers. They cannot keep up with the product assortment, sales, and changes that occur between Avon's "campaigns." One of the representatives we dealt with was quite frank about how much she didn't know, and mentioned that they are not kept as up-to-date as they should be, not to mention the haphazard assortment of testers or samples available. On the flipside, Avon is a wonderful mail-order company should you need to return or exchange products. Unlike companies with a similar business model (Arbonne comes to mind), Avon makes the process smooth and hassle-free, with a "if you're not happy, we're not" motto that epitomizes outstanding customer service.

Avon Makeup
If you've been noticing more magazine and television ads for Avon recently, it's no accident. According to an article in the November 21, 2005, issue of The Rose Sheet, Avon's ad spending through 2008 will reach "historical heights" due in part to the brand's flat performance the past couple of years. Avon's CEO Andrea Jung admitted that the company's makeup business has struggled due to increased competition, a point we wholeheartedly agree with. Avon may be viewed as a skin-care innovator, but when it comes to makeup they're more follow-the-leaders than trail blazers. Admittedly, their foundations, powders, blush, and lipsticks have smoother, more state-of-the-art textures than ever, but with few exceptions none of them are setting a precedent that other, more innovative companies are likely to follow.
You will find some outstanding Avon makeup products to consider, but perhaps due to the sheer size of the collection there are far too many mediocre products, especially among the eyeshadows, pencils, and mascaras. Given that Avon isn't as easy to obtain as comparable products at your local drug or department store, many of the makeup items end up being a tough sell. After all, who wants to go out of their way for average products? Turning to what Avon does really well, you'll find their loose and pressed powders have amazingly silky textures and natural finishes. Their blushes are wonderful, and a few of the lipsticks and foundations are definitely worth talking about with enthusiasm. Another positive point is that Avon regularly discounts their makeup, often upwards of 50% during any given campaign (Avon's campaigns run for two weeks and the specials change each time). If you shop at the right time, the best of Avon color can be yours for less than you'd pay for most low-cost drugstore makeup.

I Lost my husband on Nov 6th
We would have been married for 19 years on the 27th of December. He had been working on the floor in the house, but went out for while with friends. There he had a massive heart attack. He was 48 years old. They were not able to revive him. We have no children. We were very close becuse we did almost everything together.
Most of the time I think that I am ok. But the smallest thing will make me lose it. Today I decided to go to wally world (walmart). I was able to supress the tears while in the store. But once I was in my car the flood gates opened. I went to my father-in-law's house. He is getting on much better than me. Or he's not showing it. I came home and cried so hard and loud that I was releaved that everyone was at work.
I had the plan to go back to work on monday. I don't know now.
Thanks for letting me go on, & on, & on....
I'm so sorry for this terrible, sudden loss. Your husband was so young. You must allow yourself time to grieve and cry all you want. It's just a process that cannot be hurried, unfortunately. I know everything you do for the first time without him in your life is difficult. Please do post here and go on & on & on all you want. Everyone here cares.
Stay in touch. I send you a cyber-hug!
