Nate Ford and his team on Leverage have been able to get themselves out of quite a few pickles. But will they be able to earn a sixth season? That remains unclear.
Executive producer and director Dean Devlin penned a letter to the TNT drama's longtime fans about the unknown future of the series. In the letter, Devlin explains that he and series creator John Rogers shot the upcoming Season 5 finale as the series finale of the show should it not be picked for a sixth season.
Fall TV Scorecard: Which shows are coming back? Which aren't?
Leverage, starring Oscar winner Timothy Hutton, debuted on TNT in 2008 and is currently the longest-running original series on the network. Season 5 premiered to 3.39 million viewers in July. However, the show recently returned from a two-month hiatus to just 1.91 million viewers. In the Season 5 finale - set to air on Christmas Day - Nate (Hutton) will take a case linked to his son's death.
Read Devlin's full letter to fans below:
Dear Leverage Fans,
As of the writing of this letter, we still do not know if there will be a season six of our show. Just as we didn't know when we created the last three episodes which are about to air. Because of this uncertainty, John Rogers and I decided to end this season with the episode we had planned to make to end the series, way back when we shot the pilot. So, the episode that will air on Christmas is, in fact, the series finale we had always envisioned.
This is not to say we would not do a season six should we get the opportunity. Everyone involved with the show, from the cast, the crew, the writers and producers, would like nothing more than to continue telling these stories. But, in case we do not get that opportunity we felt that, creatively, after 77 episodes, we owed it to you, our fans, to end the show properly.
I sincerely hope you watch these last three episodes. They build to our conclusion. And the finale, I believe, is the most powerful episode we've ever done.
From all of us who make the show, thank you for watching, supporting and encouraging us. I've never experienced a fandom as intense, loyal and wonderful as you all.
Let's go steal a series finale!
Dean Devlin

Selected FAQ |
If I am faxing over a VoIP phone line, do I need to have a filter installed? |
No, the filters are only required if you have DSL service. Please note that because fax machines are designed to work over standard analog telephone lines, Epson does not guarantee that fax transmission will work over VoIP phone lines (cable systems such as Cox, Charter, Time Warner, Comcast, FiOS, magicJack, and Vonage).
Internet traffic can interfere with faxing because VoIP communicates through the internet and not through standard analog telephone line. The data sent over the internet for a fax is digitized into packets and this process can cause data loss. You can try slowing the transmission speed of the fax by setting ECM and V.34 on the all-in-one to Off. See Select Communication Settings for instructions. If this does not help, contact your VoIP service provider for help. For more information, please contact your telephone provider. |

Googleearth seems to crash my system. Here's how to reproduce:
Bring up googleearth, turn on 3D buildings, go some place with 3D buildings, left-click on a building, boom hard lock.
Anyone else having this problem?
Very nice improvements indeed !
The 2D acceleration is very valuable.
Keep up the good work.

since Catalyst 10.5 I have encountered major 3D Performance regressions on my HD 4850 card. Enemy Territory Quake Wars fps dropped by over 30 % and suffers from micro stutters.
Other OpenGL Apps like Google Sketchup, Google Earth ... show a similar behavior.
2D got only faster in terms of resizing with composite on but slows down 3D performance, which didn't occure with XAA and backclear patch. Another point is that big vector graphics render very slow.
Image quality is still crappy. Tearing, no settings for video and pc levels or color space.
Multimonitoring crashes the xserver on startup, when a Sony VPL-HW10 projector is connected via DVI->HDMI cable.
I'm happy to see, that AMD is doing something about 2D.
Unfortunately I can't take advantage of this, because I want to run SpringRTS Balanced Annihilation (http://springrts.com/wiki/Balanced_Annihilation). Up to 10.4 this worked very well, but with 10.5 and 10.6 there is a bug which (re)moves all textures. This is discussed in the SpringRTS forums: http://springrts.com/phpbb/viewtopic.php?t=23149
Someone suggested this has to do with lack of compression support for certain textures.
Dear AMD devs, please comment on this: do you see a work around for now, and do you intend to fix this regression? (I did work before...)
Thanx for your work,
It doesn't work for me. I've been trying since 9.8, but it just wont work. It installs fine, but when I reboot the pc it hangs on the "Ubuntu" pink screen, and nothing happens.
I dont know whats happening, really, lost all the faith.
My pc is running with a Radeon 4890 from powercolor, motherboard is an Asus M2NPV-VM, 2Gb of Ram, AMD X2 4200.
dansan, is there any more detailed info available ? All I found in the thread was "I googled that the problem is that the graphics driver does not support texture compression used by old models.".
I'm not aware of us dropping any old extensions but the 10.5 and higher drivers merged in GL3.3 and GL4 support so it's possible that something required for a new GL extension is subtly altering the behavior of an existing extension, not sure.
I tried following all of the abbreviations but the people posting in the thread are obviously much more familiar with all the games and variants than I am
Welcome to nforce430 chipset owner club There like 2 possible fixes.
1. Buy motherboard with another chipset even newer nforce chipsets work well, driver only don't work with nforce430 (great job amd )
2. Use windows and latest cat drivers.
Pray that amd will fix it in 10.7

Front Back View larger Car Show CS FD1030-P11 Navigation Receiver Custom-fit multimedia system for your 2009-up Ford F-150 with SYNC® Item #: 135CFD1030 15 Reviews This item is no longer available. Original Price: $449.99 Shop all In-dash GPS Navigation Need help? 1.888.955.6000 Email Chat Ask an expert advisor No pressure, no commission — just lots of good advice from our highly trained staff.
by Ken Nail Add navigation and a big screen to your F-150's SYNC system If you've got the SYNC system in your F-150, you don't need to be sold on the benefits it provides. But what if you could add navigation and a great-looking touchscreen to your truck, all while keeping the benefits of SYNC? Car Show's CS FD1030-P11 navigation system gives you the tool to do the job, wrapped up in custom-fit packaging that looks like it was installed at the factory. Even better, this unique system attaches to the SYNC system in your Ford, so you don't have to buy expensive adapters to keep all the useful features that you've grown to love. GPS navigation — built in You can navigate to specific addresses or any of the 11 million points of interest — the high-resolution 6.95" touchscreen display shows maps of all 50 states in easy-to-read detail, including 3-D building views in many cities. A built-in database of 2500 red-light and speed cameras provides valuable driving info. When you approach a complicated intersection, your map is replaced by a 3D view of the intersection, while the Lane Information feature clearly points the way to your next turn. All your original equipment goodies With this system added onto your original audio system, you'll keep all the features you paid for, including the SYNC controlled CD changer, Bluetooth®, iPod® input, and your steering wheel audio controls. All your SYNC functions will display on the big touchscreen — a nice step up from the factory 2-line display. The system even adds a rear audio/video input for other sources, and includes a rear-view camera that'll provide a color picture of what's behind you when you back up. Note: The CS FD1030-P11 only works in 2009-up Ford F-150 trucks that were factory-equipped with the SYNC® system. It is not compatible with non-SYNC® and Sony audio system equipped vehicles. Note: When you install this kit, you will lose access to the vehicle's factory cigarette lighter/power socket. Product Highlights:General features:add-on navigation system with touchscreen control for 2009-up SYNC equipped F-150 trucksretains factory radio and audio controls, including steering wheel audio controls6.95" touchscreen displaybuilt-in navigation system with 11 million points of interestretains all factory SYNC capabilitiesrear-view camera includedinputs: adds rear AV input and rear-view camera inputOther information:warranty: 1 yearOur 60-day money-back guarantee Why install a car stereo with built-in GPS? Imagine taking a trip as your car's receiver gives you directions, finds the best restaurant for dinner, and plays movies for your back seat denizens. Navigation receivers cover all the bases, with GPS guidance, DVD playback, and a host of other useful features. You can search through millions of points of interest to locate gas stations, restaurants, museums, and other interesting spots, wherever you are. Most receivers offer Bluetooth capability for hands-free calling, along with the ability to search through your iPod playlists with touchscreen controls.
Great Product for the price Written By Ssgcarlson, 31419 on Wednesday, May 29, 2013 Does everything is says it does. Looks OEM/factory after install. Instructions are not the best. I recommend professional install. Backup is nice and works great. For the same setup that would keep steering wheel and sync would cost upwards for 2k this only cost me 600 after install. Ill take it everyday of the week. Pros: Back up camera Touchscreen Keeps all factory options Navigation is good Cons: Don't except alpine/ken wood quality Touchscreen isn't extremely responsive
Nice little add on Written By Ryan, Yakima, WA on Sunday, May 12, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) For the price you cannot beat this unit. It's an add on display screen that works pretty good. I have been looking at this unit for quite some time. Finally purchased it a few weeks ago. Really there are no complaints with the unit. My drivers side front speaker didn't work after install, I had a local install tech install the unit and the back up camera. It took him about 3 hours. Still in the works on fixing the speaker. The satellite radio works great with the touch screen, you can see what stations you have programmed. The navigation works great, it's response time for missed turns is quick. I think the navigation works better than my Magellan detachable GPS. The black face plate that replaces the factory one is not as good of quality. You loose the cigarette lighter/12V adapter, but it's not that big of a deal. On a bright sunny day the screen is a little hard to see but not anymore difficult to see than a portable GPS. The back up camera works great, I can back right up to my trailer with no issues. All in all I am happy with the unit. Pros: Price, OEM look Cons: It's made in China
Good System Written By Jovonn, Houma, LA on Thursday, May 02, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Good product very impressed! Pros: Nice interface Cons: GPS isn't true 100% up to date.
Not a bad option, great GPS Written By Bryan, West Palm Beach, FL on Saturday, April 27, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Installation wasn't too bad, even being a little nervous about tearing into my truck. New center bezel fit up well. I had seen other reviews where people may have had to shave it down here or there to get buttons to stop sticking, or line up properly. I had no issue here. The instructions were OK. Maybe a bit on the vague side, but workable. I found that the touch screen was a bit lifeless around the edges until I calibrated it with a fine stylus. Works very well now. Graphically, I'd prefer a bit more color or "fluff", but the screens are very straight forward, and easy to navigate. Backup camera works well, and has guiding lines which display on the screen. GPS is great, lots of alert options, alternate routes, and quick address entry. The voice from the GPS software... I wish I could make it louder, or have the volume proportionate to the volume of my stereo, but it's not that way. The voice does come through the speakers of my truck(or, speaker... the volume of music lowers, and voice only comes through the front left speaker), and it is only adjustable through the GPS software menu. I've got it maxed, and it seems a bit distorted. I'm installing an amp, and maybe it might get better?? we'll see. If I were to do it over again, I'd opt for a license plate mounted camera, or the FORD tailgate badge camera. The one that comes with this unit to me seems a bit goofy, being that it sticks out from the tailgate handle. It does work well, though. Overall, a very good low cost opt Pros: Price, Fit, Function: I-Phone works great (just as it did before with SYNC) all original equipment retained, all original functionality retained. Some people commented negatively on the screen. I think it's just fine. No major glare issue, everything is visible to me during bright sun. Cons: GPS voice volume doesn't raise and lower with the stereo volume knob... , camera style (just my preference) I'd like to see the graphics spiced up a bit.
product as promised Written By Gasum, Arkansas on Thursday, April 04, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) This is just a Nav add on. It blends with SYNC without giving up any of the SYNC features. You do loose a 12v power plug by the USB plug. However the 12v can be rerouted somewhere else. Pros: Product is what it promises. Cons: Instruction, installation and operation difficult to understand.
Car show GPS 2010 f150 Written By Jamesh, Ft worth tx on Sunday, March 03, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) This GPS and backup camera is a very good product for the money. The fit is good and it really looks factory. I did have to do some lite grinding with a small flat file on the face plate to get it to mate up correctly. This is very common on almost any aftermarket Stereo equipment and was in no way difficult or out of line with the industry standard. I have installed many before so keep that in mind. For me having a shop do this in my opinion would be throwing money away. If you follow instruction and take you time it's really easy. Wires can only hook up one way and the mistakes you make will most likely be forgetting to hook up a wire. It's pretty much fool proof other than that. And just to confirm what others here have said: You do not need an amp with this unit and YOU WILL need a very small torx bit. I had a cheap multi bit pack from hardware store that had it. All my factory equipment still works with this system. Pros: Great look great value and an easy install! Steering wheel controls are maintained. Did not spend one dime more on anything else to complete install. THIS IS LESS THAN HALF THE PRICE OF ANYTHING THAT MAINTAINS FACTORY CONTROLS !!! Cons: GPS mutes phone when giving driving commands. And touch screen is a little fussy when cold.
Nice Product, BUT... Written By Mr. Lloyd, Hillsboro, TX on Monday, February 25, 2013 For what is does, it does it pretty well. Fist of all, like others have stated, this is not an easy install. Routing the camera through the truck can be problemsome and major dash pieces have to be removed to install unit. The instructions were very bad, missing several steps and not listing accurate numbers of screws that needed to be removed. The camera cable that came with the unit would not click into place, therefore I had to do without the camera. The navigation is great. Very intuitive and accurate, by far the best part of the system. The display for radio, sirius, phone, etc., is very microsoft DOS looking. Just a grey display with basic information on it. The display is probably the most dissapointing thing about this system. The way that it is angled in the truck on a sunny day makes the unit almost unreadable. There are dim, contrast and color adjustments, but they do not make any difference in the readability of the unit during the day. As far as looks are concerned, this is as close to the factory look that you can find anywhere. The plastics used were top notch. Speaking of plastics though, if you have the 40/20 split jump seat f150, you have to cut a section of plastic off of the factory cubby under the bezel. By in large if you want a factory look that enhances what you already have and adds a really good navigation, the system is pretty good. Thats why I gave it 4 stars. If you are expecting anything more you will be unsatisfied. Pros: Great navigation. Sync works perfectly. Looks factory. Cons: Hard install, display is too dim, software is outdated and Crutchfield knows nothing about this product. If you are looking for tech support, call Rosen. They will be the only ones to help. Crutchfield does provide great customer support, but not tech support on this item..
Great addition to keep OEM dash look Written By JustusS, Poulsbo, WA on Saturday, January 19, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Installation time was on par with what others stated here (around 4 hours). There is certainly some work that could be done on the instructions, but if you are somewhat experienced with car stereo installations then you can stumble your way through it. Everything is supplied with the kit that you need, just make sure you go through the supplied tool list pretty thoroughly before you start. I was pretty close to stopping when I couldn't find one of the smaller torx bits that was needed for the radio swap out to the new dash, but got lucky and found what I needed. Pros: For an OEM looking NAV addition while retaining all Ford SYNC and steering wheel capabilities and a great backup camera kit, this kit is at a FANTASTIC price. Cons: Don't expect any new media features that you didn't have before as it is essentially your SYNC system repackaged (won't play DVD movies and such ...etc)
Car Show navigation Written By T. Gross, Dumas, Texas on Monday, January 07, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) The system looks really nice and looks factory installed. First install took about 4 hours. I have had apart and back together so many time I can do it in about 45 minutes. Everything works very well except for the satellite radio. I can see the artist and the name of the song but no sound comes out until I turn volume up all the way, then I can hear a faint beat. I have installed two systems in my pickup. I have taken to a professional installer and have also taken to Ford. All I have to do is unplug the navigation system and the satellite radios works. Keeping the system hoping Rosen comes with a fix. Pros: Pretty easy install. Like that I can change my navigation route. Cons: All screens are pretty plain except the navigation screen and phone screen.
Can't beat it for the $ Written By Gary C, Florida Keys on Sunday, January 06, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Simple install, looks like it came with the truck. Instructions provided by Rosen are adequate. Took about 3.5 hrs to install including rearview camera. Time will tell about the Nav software but it appears on par with the Garmin Software in my Kenwood DNX 9140 head unit. YOU DO NOT NEED AN AMP FOR THIS INSTALL! When you go to checkout on Crutchfield you will get a notice that you will need an amp, you don't. Pros: Simple install, looks very close to factory Cons: No audio display when on nav screen
Great Purchase Written By Joe, Utah on Thursday, January 03, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I also bought this with no reviews listed and very little info on the web; took a chance and am very pleased. The intergration with the Sync and Sattilite Radio is flawless and I couldnt be happier with the AV input (I found no info on this when doing research) which allows me to connect any item with rca cables (Xbox ect...) as a side note no bypass is needed to have a passenger use the screen while the car is on motion, the brake feature is simply an option when you enter the 4 digit code to input the settings of your particular model at the end of installation. I was so hesitant to add an aftermarket unit to my F150 because of all of the sync features and the hoops you had to jump through on other units. Overall I would recomend this to anyone who would like to add an aftermarket unit to their F150 with the added feature of keeping your sattilite radio, steering wheel controls, and sync features in tact with out all the extra price. Pros: Great OEM look, and intergration with the Sync features. Cons: As with the other reviews the install was somewhat cumbersome and the instructions could be written a lot better; however if you take your time and go through each step slowly you should be able to figure out the install.
CS FD1030-P11 Navigation Receiver Written By D.W., Richardson, TX on Saturday, December 29, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) This is not a do-it-yourself project unless your technically inclined. Took apart the truck, but installing it, the instructions were so bad I ended up taking it in a Sound Design shop for the install. The instructions are typical non-American instructions, meaning all but worthless. Once installed, the GPS user guide is ok. So, final analysis, once you get this item, get the product installed by a professional unless you are one and the product looks like OEM once installed in the truck. I do recommend this product. Pros: Product is as advertised. Cons: Unless a professional must be installed by a professional.
Excellent Look, gps touchscreen mmm.... Written By Ricardo M, Miramar, FL on Monday, December 10, 2012 PROS:After 4 hours of install looks nice and works perfectly 100% compatible with sync and other features in my F-150. COPROS:After 4 hours of install looks nice and works perfectly 100% compatible with sync and other features in my F-150. Pros: PROS:After 4 hours of install looks nice and works perfectly 100% compatible with sync and other features in my F-150. Cons: PROS:After 4 hours of install looks nice and works perfectly 100% compatible with sync and other features in my F-150.
Great Product Written By Braxton, Alabama on Saturday, December 08, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Overall this product is great. I bought this with no reviews. At the price including backup camera I figured I would take the risk. This absolutely looks like it came from the factory. Navigation seems to work well. I like it better than my garmin. Sync also still works perfect because you use your factory radio. Keep in mind I do not recommend installation by anyone who is a novice. The new radio bezel had to be sanded down because a/c buttons would push it but wouldn't pop back out. I had to fit some of the pieces by hand to look nice. Back up camera is a nice add and triggers in reverse. Pros: Looks factory. Adds backup camera. Great value for the money. Cons: Hard to install instructions were poor (on rosens end) .
Great Upgrade Written By Cajun Engineer, Marksville, LA on Friday, November 30, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) The CS FD1030-P11 Navigation Receiver is a great add on to the F150 Sync system. The final installation looks factory, with all the Sync functions work as before. Updating maps for the navigation system is a plus. The backup camera works great, but looses sharpness at night. Crutchfield had the best price that I could find anywhere. I would recommend it to anyone. I would not recommend anyone to try installing it alone without some knowledge or skill to do such an installation, Pros: Finished installation looks like a factory installation. All sync functions works as before. Navigation mode works great with many functions and features. Cons: The instructions weren't the best and the pictures were hard to see as they are in black and white. The screen could be better ( brightness, especially in day time).

Abraham Lincoln, then 47, came to Sterling to speak at a rally for presidential candidate, John C. Fremont. On July 18, 1856, a twist of fate brought Mr. Lincoln to the home of Sheriff William Manahan to spend the night. He slept on a sofa with two chairs placed at its end to accommodate his long legs. In the morning he graciously thanked his host and left Sterling for a speaking engagement in Chicago and the rest is history! The home has been restored and its interior, furnishings, and facade reflect the time when Lincoln visited in the late 1850s.

'Quarry Island' suggested for unnamed landmark
An unnamed island that makes up the southwest part of Dell Rapids might soon be called Quarry Island.The Big Sioux River splits near Rickeman Field in southern Dell Rapids and reconnects northeast of 248th Street and 473rd Avenue, forming what is thought to be the largest island in South Dakota."I think it would be neat for the community to be able to say 'the largest island in the state of South Dakota is right here in our town and its name is such and such,' instead of having to say it doesn't have a name," said Brian Davis, a Dell Rapids resident who suggested to the South Dakota Board on Geographic Names that the island be called Quarry Island. Davis said Quarry Island is a good fit because L.G. Everist's west quarry is on the 2-square-mile island, which the state defines as an area of dry or relatively dry land surrounded by water or low wetland."After doing a small amount of research, we didn't really find any good historical information as to why it should be named anything specific, like the first settler or the first farmer," he said. "So in keeping with the heritage of the town and the history and the culture, I thought (Quarry Island) would make sense."The Board on Geographic Names is taking comment either in support for the name Quarry Island or alternative names through July 18. A comment form is available at www.sdbgn.sd.gov.

taoofpooh, thanks for sharing your experience. I understand. I've been there and I relate. It seems like I had thousands of reasons why this deal might work for "them" -- but, my case and my situation was different. And, I probably was different and I'm still different. But, I had exhaused all of my other options. I had literally tried everything else and the everything else didn't work for me either. I guess I was just up against the wall so hard that I became willing to do things that I didn't want to do, and try to do things that I knew that I couldn't do. I had no other options -- other than to give it a try again -- or just simply die drinking.
I wish you the best. Regardless, of what you choose -- we'll be here for you. And, if we can help -- we will.

8 Best Leave-in Conditioners for HairWhether you're looking to detangle or de-frizz, these top-rated leave-in conditioners make every day a good hair day |
Why it's great: Reviewers agree that a little of this Paul Mitchell leave-in conditioner goes a long way. One reader explains, "This is one of those products that doesn't sound like you need it along with your other styling products, but you should. If I happen to run out of this, I can instantly feel the difference in my hair. It makes it nice and soft, shiny, bouncy, and full. Something I don't get from using just mousse or another serum. I have hair to the middle of my back and a dime size amount is all I need. I've been using this for years now and I still love it."

I'd likely try the Giovanni conditioner.

Any women over 40 or getting close can tell weird stuff starts to happen, can't lose weight, acne and finally frizzy hair. I'm not sure when it happened, but my natural color turned to dishwater blond, and my natural curls have turned to FRIZZ! So I went to my wonderful and really expensive hair dresser to have the usual cut and color and when she went to wash my hair she said that they just got a new shampoo and conditioner called Shielo and that is smelled great. So she washes my hair and OMG - is she right - it smelled incredible but then she put the conditioner in and ran it through my hair and within one minuet she could run her fingers through it with no problem, I was amazed. Its the Hydrating line from the Shielo line. When I used the Shielo products on my hair at home and was amazed again that it smelled great but was so smooth and tangle free, my hair is long and very fine so is also easily weighted down and tangled but now it is soooo easy to style I cant believe my hair feels this good after a color and after blow drying.

I always use a leave-in conditioner..and it does make a difference allright. Unfortunately, nothing heals split ends fully..they (so far) have to be cut. My hair looks good to very good with a leave-in plus gel.

Not a big fan of these leave in treatments. I've true numerous brands ,but for me it makes my hair look like I haven't washed it ad nasty looking.

REVIEW: Saving Mr. Banks
Who knew there was a real-life drama behind Walt Disney's 1964 much-beloved film "Mary Poppins"?? Who knew it was the author's way of dealing with her own difficult childhood with a loving and charming alcoholic dad (Colin Farrell- at the top of his game) and depressed mom??!!
Saving the movie from going schmalz on us : Emma Thompson , who could well be up for her 5th Oscar nomination (she's won twice) as the prim/proper and beyond diva-difficult author P.L. Travers. Two-time Oscar winner Tom Hanks plays the patient Walt Disney, who has wooed the author for 2 decades , thanks to a promise he made to one of his daughters to bring her favorite book to the big screen. The reluctant author worries her precious book will be trivialized on screen.
Rounding out the cast: Paul Giamatti (in his 7th movie of the year!!) as the author's
Funny and charming, you will marvel at Thompson, culminating in watching her watch her masterpiece debut on film. Plus, it's great fun as a colorful period piece. Ironically, this one's not for the little ones though adults will get that warm-fuzzy Disney feeling in the end. I just wonder, given the subject matter, if this film will find the audience it justly deserves.

Customer Reviews
- i'm hooked! Review by hbh, Nashville, TN USA
Price Value Quality i have been suffering from adult acne since the age of 21-nothing that serious but enough to bother me. i've been seeing a dermatologist for the past 10 years and tried everything to treat it. she told me there was nothing else she could do for me except for accutane. enter ain't misbehavin'! this stuff is the best thing i've ever tried. i'm so amazed by the way my skin has changed after using it. one of my friends told me my skin was glowing! i give this acne serum all the credit. i'm hooked!!!
- It takes awhile, but does deliver! Review by C. Smith, Illinois
Price Value Quality Be patient. I am 39, have fair, VERY OILY skin & big pores in T-zone with blackheads plus "monthly" breakouts of larger obnoxious blemishes. I've tried SO MANY cleansers, masques & acne products & mattifiers but finally took this $45 leap(ouch) to add to my routine. GLAD I DID! I have been using 3+weeks and was almost ready to send it back after 1st week, (we expect overnight results, don't we?) BUT kept using faithfully am/pm and I'm definitely seeing results. Still somewhat oily, still some blackheads, but OVERALL I'M MUCH CLEARER, and survived "monthly" cycle with little or no breakout. So I expect it to continually get better with time & patience.
- This is a good product! Review by GC, Winter Haven, FL
Price Value Quality Unlike the other products that fight oily skin and large pores, this product does a great job on oily skin. It doesn't stop your skin from being oily, but it does prevent future breakouts and helps to smooth the skin.
- Doesn't Layer Well Review by RH, Baltimore, Maryland
Price Value Quality This product seems to work, with regular use, but the big problem for me is that is doesn't layer well with other moisturizers, mattifying gels or makeup. It causes whatever you put on top of it to rub off in little bits. If you're wearing it alone then I guess its fine, but many of us with oily/acne skin are using multiple products.
- This does work Review by C. Gibson, Iowa
Price Value Quality I have struggled with acne for many years and it has actually gotten worse over time especially since having my kids.My acne does seem to be hormonally driven.This is the only product that has been consistently effective. I'm happy to find something that is paraben free as well.I only give 4 stars b/c of the price for the amount you get.The smell is very strong when you first put it on.It is annoying that it won't layer with moisturizers.A tip to help: gently pat the product you are layering on top of serum into your skin instead of rubbing. This will decrease the problem with layering products.
- Only used for 2 weeks so I don't know yet...but Review by cs, Ohio
Price Value Quality Like a few others have said it puts a film on your skin that comes off when you try and layer it with a moisturizer. What's the point of using it if it comes off? I used Clinique Dramatically Diff Gel
- Say goodbye to Cystic Acne! Review by K. Douglas, Little Rock, AR
Price Value Quality I'm 36, senstive skin and get Cystic Acne on my chin. I swear by the combo of the Wash, then Serum. The smell is the only downside - but no Acne - is a PLUS!

There are times when leasing an aircraft makes more sense than buying one outright-including times like these. Leasing can offer several advantages over purchasing, and the turmoil currently rocking the global aircraft marketplace has only amplified these benefits. So how can you determine whether a lease is right for you? Consider these seven factors:

Suze Orman didn't pause before answering when I asked whether she'd ever considered replacing her charter flights with a fractional jet share. "I think they're rip-offs," said the personal-finance guru, in an interview that appeared in our April/May 2009 issue.
September 1, 2009
It's understandable that no equivalent to your local auto-parts store exists for business jets. Aircraft maintenance records must be documented scrupulously, and the pedigree of every nut, bolt and washer has to be recorded for possible FAA review. So, when it comes time to replace a fuel pump or engine mount-or even a tire-it makes a difference where the part comes from.

On a recent airline flight, a CNBC reporter noted a businessman, whom he did not know, sitting one row ahead and across the aisle from him. "For nearly the entire five-hour flight from Newark to Los Angeles," the businessman's laptop computer "was wide open," wrote the reporter, who covers the pharmaceutical industry.

Fewer than a dozen airplane manufacturers account for the vast majority of business jets and turboprops being built today. Here are the key facts about each of those manufacturers, including data on their parent companies, their 2008 business aircraft sales and the models they offer.

Much has been written recently by defenders of business aviation about the 5,000 airports accessible to our aircraft in the U.S. That compares with the estimated 500 that accept airline service and the approximately 70 airports that handle the vast majority of airline flights.

Anyone who has owned an airplane knows that finding the right place to keep it is no small task. In fact, the job is likely much more involved than first-time buyers ever imagine when they begin to consider aircraft ownership. Obtaining financing, finding insurance, hiring a crew, arranging maintenance-even redoing the interior and paint job-are likely all high on their list of things to do.
April 1, 2009
Lavatories on corporate and privately owned airplanes run the gamut from none at all to luxuriously appointed throne rooms fit for royalty. If you take nothing else away from this little essay, please remember: When flying on an unfamiliar airplane, you need to ask ahead of time what facilities, if any, will be available. Then plan your meal and drink schedule accordingly.
February 1, 2009
Buying a corporate jet during times of worldwide financial turmoil might be considered by many to be one of the more outlandish business moves you can make. It could also prove to be one of the smartest.
February 1, 2009
Imagining what it's like to take a private jet flight with your kids is easy. Just picture them hermetically sealed for a few hours in a space not much bigger than a walk-in closet. On the minus side of the experience: on most jets, it's cold turkey on texting and Internet access; skateboarding is definitely out; and there's probably no live television.

Ford Returns To Its Roots
Written by Thom Taylor on January 10, 2014 Why Dearborn's '15 NHRA Drag-Racing Strategy Is the Best Thing to Happen to Grassroots Racers in 50 YearsTo say Ford invented drag racing isn't entirely true -- but it's close. Whether it was the old Model T bangers racing two (or three) abreast at the lakes, or flathead Fords facing off at places like Santa Ana and Pomona, Ford has participated in quarter-mile racing action from the very beginning. Now Ford has announced it's halting sponsorship of professional Top Fuel, Funny Car, and Pro Stock drag race teams after 2014. How can that be?
Ford's motorsport dollars helped fund drag racing from the early days. It helped bring Top Fuel racing into the national spotlight with the rise of the SOHC motors in the mid- to late-'60s with drivers like Connie Kalitta and Sneaky Pete Robinson. It created the Ford Drag Council and a fleet of 427ci '65 Mustang fastbacks that dominated the Stock and F/X classes. Ford's DNA led to the gestation of the Funny Car genre with the supercharged, nitromethane-burning Comets of Dyno Don Nicholson and Jack Chrisman. And who could forget Bob Glidden in Pro Stock? Formerly the winningest driver in NHRA drag racing, supplanted only recently by another Ford-sponsored driver -- and probably the most famous -- John Force.
Ford's reasons for leaving professional drag racing are many: diminishing return on investment, a disconnect from product research and development relevancy, and customer outreach. Ford's reevaluating the old axiom "win on Sunday, sell on Monday," and here's why that's good news for you.
Ford Wants to Invest in You
The truth is Ford is not getting out of drag racing. Not the drag racing you do, just the drag racing you watch other people do. In fact, the elimination of the dollar drain from funding professional teams could mean you're Ford's next payee through one of its Ford Racing or Cobra Jet Mustang programs.
Says Ford Racing's Jesse Kershaw, "We are planning a roll-out of a new contingency program for 2014 that focuses on our sportsman racers, the guys who are taking their cars to test-and-tune nights, to SCCA Solo events, all the way to the NHRA champions. We take sportsman racing seriously and want to be the manufacturer of choice."
All-New '15 Cobra Jet Mustang
And the best news of all that has come out from this is that Ford is already well into developing the all-new '15 Mustang Cobra Jet, so Ford is all-in for the foreseeable future. "We already have nearly 50 placeholder orders for the '15 vehicle, and we haven't officially announced it yet," Kershaw says. "The excitement around Cobra Jet and production-based racing continues to grow."
Will This Change NHRA Forever?
While the hot rodder will find Ford's news intriguing, the Ford pullout should be a wakeup call for the NHRA. Beyond the piecemeal complaints the blogs and pundits incessantly spout, the sport of professional drag racing generally needs a major overhaul -- top to bottom -- an entire rethink. But it won't be easy. Any changes will only hurt the smaller professional teams, since changes mean spending vast amounts of money, and other than John Force and Don Schumacher, there aren't many teams with deep revenue streams. So the process of change could slough off the lesser-funded teams and seriously undermine those staying to participate. In Pro Stock, there have already been short fields for a number of races, and there's potential that will extend to the fuel classes, as well, when race money is shifted to new racing and development efforts.
Changes will also distance drag racing from its glorious past, maybe even more than the current 1,000-foot track lengths and monotonous, pass-after-pass sterilized shows. But the NHRA needs to improve the appeal of the exciting sport that is professional drag racing. What form a new and improved NHRA might take is anybody's guess.
Still, when the NHRA decides to get introspective, every aspect of the sport should be considered -- from ticket prices to venues, sponsors to rules, to specs and categories -- it all needs an injection of new.
Drag racing used to be unpredictable, uninhibited, unhinged, and outlandish. It is the opposite today—in spite of the incredible speeds, elapsed times, and technology. Every fan has their opinion. It's America. But we don't envy NHRA President Tom Compton and the NHRA brain trust going forward. NHRA was conceived and nurtured in its early days by HOT ROD magazine, so we are the first to wish it a strong and exciting future.
Mustang Cobra Jet
To celebrate the 40th anniversary of the Cobra Jet, Ford Racing reintroduced the Mustang Cobra Jet with an all-new version for 2008. Since then, Ford has sold 300 of the drag-race-only Mustangs. For 2014, the Mustang Cobra Jet is powered by a supercharged 5.0L V8 with a forged crank, Manley H-beam rods, Mahle forged pistons, and fully CNC-ported heads. The body is lightened, and the suspension was designed using computer simulations to evaluate hundreds of 60-foot launches for optimal setup.
The chassis features electric power steering, a full rollcage, and Recaro FIA-spec race seats. The car is race-prepped; it is legal for NHRA Stock and Super Stock, and other race series. It is not street-legal and does not come with traditional production VIN. Instead, each Cobra Jet Mustang is serialized for its collectability potential.
National Mustang Racers Association
The NMRA holds seven events throughout the year in the East Coast and Midwest that include its Cobra Jet Showdown in Bradenton, Florida. Indexes are based on Stock or Super Stock classifications, overall weight and engine displacements, and are run on a NHRA Sportsman ladder. Safety regulations are based on the current NHRA rulebook. Quarter-, semi-, and final-round awards are in addition to contingency payouts, with an entrance fee of around $100 per event
- The NHRA indicates there are thousands of dollars in contingency money for the adventuresome amateur racer. Regional and national events see on average 60 to 80 cars per class with the Nationals opening up to 160 to 180, so there are plenty of men and women to rub shoulders with throughout the country. Ford alone offers $850 in prize money for Stock and Super Stock classes. Combined with other contingency awards, if you're competitive, you have a good chance of seeing some serious green.
- Ford's racing-only Cobra Jet Mustang was revived for '08, along with Dodge's similarly configured Challenger Drag Package, followed by Chevrolet with its '12 COPO Camaro. All three car manufacturers are committed to drag racing at the grassroots level with a drag-racing–specific car capable of competing in numerous stock classes in NHRA-, IHRA-, NMRA-, and NMCA-sanctioned events.
Mercury's Comets
Mercury sponsored three Comet Funny Cars in 1966: Eddie Shartman's, Dyno Don Nicholson's, and Jack Chrisman's quicker GT-1 topless terror. The GT-1 met its demise running off the end of National Speedway in New York after clocking an 8.63 e.t. at 176 mph. Contemporary accounts suggest that the Mercury suits in attendance told the fire crew to let it burn, as internally they felt a topless car did not resemble a standard Comet enough. They were anxious for Chrisman to switch over to his new Logghe-chassis, SOHC-motiviated, flip-top Funny Car with its body more resembling the '67 Comets. Chrisman's topless Comet would be a tough car to follow as it had an over 85 percent winning record, with one streak of more than 30 consecutive wins averaging 180-mph quarter-mile runs.
John Force for NHRA President
Maybe the silver lining of Ford's new sponsorship plans could be John Force moving from a racer's role to president of the NHRA. Seriously, think about it. He's said this about Ford's pullout, "Ford made a decision, and I respect that decision. They're a lot smarter than me." It's a funny line, but who said you need to be the smartest guy in the room to run a race sanctioning body? Whatever happened to balls? And determination? And motivation? When it comes to drag racing, he has displayed all of those qualities for decades. And he can obviously run a business.
