PFB Vanish Skin Treatment, 4 oz
KaySeattle WANo ReliefI picked up a bottle after my first brazilian and used it daily as directed. Didn't help at all. Now I have the most painful ingrown hairs I've ever had. Switching to No Bump.posted Dec 1, 2009Link to this post
ErikYes!!! 100%PFB Vanish is by far the best product I have ever used for my PFB. I am a half white / half black male with semi curly hair and have always had extreme problems in the chin line and neck area. I am active duty military so I shave daily. I saw my first results in about 24 hours and within a week the effected area was 90% cleared up! The product does cause some peeling so you will need a facial scrub like "St Ives" to get rid of that.Other than the mild peeling which tends to go away after a few days, this product is excellent. I have tried many products and this one should probably be issued regularly by doctors/dermatologists. Also, it does contain alcohol as its first ingredient..however do not let that stop you from buying it! It works way better than just pure alcohol as that was my former method to control PFB.Good luck!posted Aug 1, 2009Link to this post
Sf AsianResults After First UseI just started using this yesterday after my brazilian wax (I had gotten it the day before yesterday). It works amazingly! I rolled on a thin layer after my shower in the morning yesterday and inspected it in the evening before my night shower and to my surprise the redness of my ingrown hairs had faded a lot, also I noticed (this may sound gross) that it was a lot easier to "squeeze" out the ingrown hairs. I cant wait to see what else PFB has to offerposted Apr 22, 2009Link to this post
EmilyTexasFar Better Than Tend SkinIt works and it does not irritate my skin. Its worth 20 dollars.posted Apr 13, 2009Link to this post
DianaNo Noticiable ImprovementIve used PFB vanish for 6 weeks, and I honestly havent noticed any improvement with ingrown hairs. I bought this product because of the reviews from this website. I used it after my first Brazilian wax, and my ingrown hairs were numerous. I dont know if it was because it was my 1st one, technique of the esthetician, or what. Anyhow, I used this product religiously twice a day, and I continued to get pretty severe ingrowns. It didnt bring the hair closer to the surface, or anything remotely like that. The only thing truly beneficial that I could find about the product was its alcohol content, which kept the area aseptic. I will continue to use it because I still have a lot in the bottle, and like I said, it does have a lot of antiseptic qualities. Ive just had my 2nd Brazilian, so well see how the product performs this time. Overall, Im not that impressed.posted May 8, 2008Link to this post
C.amosFt. Leonard Wood, MOPfb Is Great!!!I am in the Army, so I must shave daily; this product has made a dramatic change in the texture of my skin (face & neck). I have tried countless products that have had NO or little results. Before PFB I often got razor bumps and ingrown hairs, but PFB has nearly "eliminated" those painful/irritating memories.posted Mar 5, 2008Link to this post
AnonymousMiracle Product!For years Ive had problems with ingrown hairs, some so bad that they turned into boils which I had to have lanced at the doctors office. Ive been using this product for almost 2 years now and have been virtually ingrown hair free. Every now and again Ill get one but its nothing like before. This is an absolute miracle product!posted Jan 28, 2008Link to this post
MaxNew York City, NYGreat Stuff And It Actually WorksThis product doenst burn like many of the ingrown treatments. It can be used every day. I saw great results from it.posted Jan 16, 2008Link to this post
AnonymousNYGood Product For The PriceThis is the first time I ever purchased a product like this. I went for a bikini wax and the women who was performing the wax informed me that I had a few ingrowns and should try a cream/gel to get those out, so I made this purchase. I used this product for a couple of days and I could see that getting the ingrowns out was much easier. It does make the skin peel a little but you can add a light lotion and it will be fine. I would definitely recommend this product.posted Sep 9, 2007Link to this post
E.r.MichiganVery Good ProductVery easy to use and extremely effective.This product doesnt actually prevent ingrown hairs, just the huge bumps that are associated with them. I have used it in the bikini area after waxing/shaving. Without it, I used to get painful ingrown hairs inside large red, pimples or bumps. I am now a faithful user of this product because it dries out the pores so that what would become a painful pimple instead is like a blackhead you can squeeze out. (Sorry if thats too graphic.) Leads to the appearance of a very smooth bikini line. You probably will still get some ingrowns but they wont be noticeable at all.posted Jul 17, 2007Link to this post

Stunning collection

Beautifully arranged. My wife and I went to the Louvre some years ago and this is a wonderful trip down memory lane. The book is so good I haven't even had a chance to check out the complimentary compact disc with all the paintings.

A STEM-based education is critical to enhance the career potential of our children, which will result in a considerable economic impact to the Central Florida area. But the need for STEM education — and the sheer number of opportunities to make a positive impact on students — makes it obvious that Orlando Science Center needs the support of community partners. Fortunately, there are many organizations in our community that recognize the need to further STEM and have committed considerable resources to support the effort.
There are many ways that an organization can partner with us and help advance STEM learning. Some organizations choose to be directly involved in education programs both here at the Science Center and through our outreach in schools. You can find these organizations, and how they support our mission, on the Education Partners page of this site.
Others have become involved in OTRONICON, our premier annual event that showcases simulation and gaming, and demonstrates the importance of STEM in these fields. You can learn about these organizations under Otronicon Partners.
Still, other organizations choose to support the wide range of programs that are directly related to our mission, and you can learn about these organizations by visiting the Mission Partners page.

STEM Day at the Florida Capitol was a huge success!
On March 5, 2014, Orlando Science Center and partners including Lockheed Martin, Florida State University's National High Magnetic Field Laboratory, Museum of Science and Industry (Tampa), STEM Sim Ex, FIRST and Team Orlando converged in Tallahassee to facilitate discussion with state legislators; engage them in active participation of hands-on STEM activities; and promote the value of science centers and strategic partnerships as a tool to inspire and encourage our youth to pursue STEM careers.
Collaboration between science centers, schools and industry are vital to filling the STEM pipeline with a comprehensive approach from cradle to career.
Among the legislators pictured are Florida Lt. Gov. Carlos Lopez-Cantera, Rep. Jason T. Brodeur, Rep. David Santiago and Rep. Michelle Rehwinkel Vasilinda.

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) – A Los Angeles suburb that sued to curb the strong, spicy odor emitted from a chili-processing plant lost its initial bid for a court injunction against the makers of the popular Sriracha-brand hot pepper sauce on Thursday.
Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Robert O'Brien denied a motion from the small city of Irwindale for a temporary restraining order against Huy Fong Foods, calling the request "rather edgy."
"You're asking for a very radical order on a 24-hour notice," O'Brien said during the brief proceedings.
The judge instead set a court hearing for November 12 to consider further arguments on whether there were grounds to issue a preliminary injunction against the chili factory while the court reviews the merits of a lawsuit brought against the company.
Irwindale, east of Los Angeles, filed suit on Monday saying the company has refused to take sufficient action to abate noxious fumes emanating from the plant strong enough to cause eye and throat irritation in nearby residents.
The suit says some residents have complained of headaches and others have been forced to remain indoors, or even to temporarily flee their own homes, to get relief from the smell of locally grown jalapeno chili peppers being crushed at the plant.
John Tate, an attorney for the company, said in court that the company has installed a filtration system to take care of excessive odor. He acknowledged that it does not resolve the problem completely but had "certainly improved the situation."
"The company purchased additional filters and installation was complete Tuesday," he said, adding that more time was needed to see how well the new system works before the end of chili-harvesting season in November, when production would be halted in any case until next year.
"If you shut us down now, we won't know if the system works and we'll be in the dark for nine months," he said.
According to the Los Angeles Times, Huy Fong Foods produces up to 200,000 bottles of hot sauce a day and sold more than $60 million worth last year.
The red-colored Sriracha Hot Chili Sauce, sold in clear squeezable plastic bottles with a green cap and trademark rooster logo, has become one of the top-selling condiments in the United States.
Celebrated in Bon Appetit magazine as the ingredient of the year for 2010, Sriracha, has inspired cookbooks, a food festival and a movie documentary.
The company was founded 33 years ago by David Tran, an ethnic Chinese immigrant from Vietnam, who was quoted in the Los Angeles Times earlier this week as defending the pungent nature of the chilies used in his sauce.
"If it doesn't smell, we can't sell," he said.

Note: Brad Richards Is Playing In A Sandy Relief Game In AC Next Week
9:08AM: For more info, visit CSN PHILLY
8:31PM: Panaccio says that the rosters are Hartnell, Richards, Ryan, Timonen, Dan Carcillo, JVR, Williams, Gagne, Braydon Coburn, Ville Leino, Steve Eminger, Jeff Halpern, Brian Boyle, Jody Shelley and James Neal.
So the Rangers participating are Richards, Eminger, Halpern and Boyle.
8:10AM: According to Tim Panaccio, Scott Hartnell is putting together a game next week in Atlantic City to benefit the victims of Hurricane Sandy.
The game will be at 7PM at the Boardwalk Hall.
Brad Richards is expected to be the captain of one of the teams.
Other NHLers playing in the game are Bobby Ryan, Kimmo Timonen, Simon Gagne, Justin Williams, James van Riemsdyk and more are expected to be announced.
More information will be posted when it becomes available.
Utterly ridiculous to put this season on Rex Ryan. He will not be fired during season, nor will Idzik.
If woody keeps Idzik, you still need a fresh player personnel man.
We need more than just a QB to make 2015 valuable to fans and woody's pocket.
Position Coaches, scout staff & player personnel are all serious considerations at the end of this season.
Woody hasn't made the best decisions either, ex:MetLife, PSL's.
By the way wasn't Parcells also consulted in the GM hiring process...
This is what I want from the Jet game this week.
I would like to get some extra cheese on my slice of pizza.
And I would like to get an extra point from da Jets.
If Hoyer was Geno he would have five hundred million billion zillion infinity turnovers at this point in the game! Ditto for Sanchez
Draft Winston or trade for Manziel or sign Hoyer
Time for change....Can't come quick enough
Seriously, how did Andy Dalton have that game he had against us last year? Did he sell his soul to the devil for that game?
How come Johnny Football looks over Hoyer's shoulder when he reviews game photos on the bench while Geno just stares into space and looks sullen when Vick does the same?
Just had the fireidzik.com guys on news12. They said they want to hold the team accountable and that they are still attending games. What? Makes no sense.
Point One
Rex had to be furious that Idzik and Woody Johnson shipped away both Revis and Cromartie. Rex had to be wishing that Idzik and Woody would have signed Revis this offseason when they had the chance. I am POSITIVE Rex Ryan would have been thrilled to have a roster with BOTH Sheldon Richardson and Darrelle Revis on it. BOTTOM LINE - Rex Ryan is clearly NOT to blame for the disaster at the CB position
Point Two
Ryan is 100 percent to blame for the Jets having a horrible offense literally every year. Rex is only interested in drafting defensive players and is too stupid of a human being to see beyond his defense. He IS stupid. There's no doubt about it. Anybody who puts all their eggs in one basket (the defense) does NOT deserve to be an NFL head coach. There are 3 areas a coach NEEDS to focus on EQUALLY
1) Offense
2) Defense
3) Special Teams
Ryan gets a grade of F
Point Three
John Idzik is a penny stock GM who invests in penny stocks hoping to get rich. Idzik's peers around the NFL who are GM's invest in blue chip companies with proven EARNINGS. Idzik is a complete imbecile. He should be FIRED today! He should have been fired during the offseason when he was clueless in free agency and the draft
Point Four
Woody Johnson - This guy is a complete fool who is lucky as hell he inherited money. If he ran Johnson and Johnson it would trade on the pink sheets
You guys asked Joe what the real cause of Jets demise is? Although I agree it's more than one, the biggest is the Jets poor drafting? For this I place the blame on Rex. Tanny and Idzik are both admin. GMs not personal guys. Everyone knows Tanny never said no to Rex and I don't think Idzik has the knowledge to either. Bradway doesn't have the rank to make the call so Rex is the biggest problem. Funny how Joe stated "Rex won with Mangini's roster" nothing is more true. Rex is a good coach, but that is it. He falls in love with players and drafts them way to high. Woody is going to dump Rex, Bradway, and give Idzik some BS job like "capologist". He's gonna hire a real GM and coach, anything else is a total disaster.
Rex is doing his job better than Idzik is doing his.
John Idzik is doing his job better than Woody Johnson is doing his.
@bradysucks Agreed i like the draft a rookie and sign a vet with upside or a young johnny football
@Mike O'Connor Agree completely Mike. I always had my doubts - feared he would be an idiot savant like his pop. But I'm not sure about the savant part anymore.
Great with the schemes. No one has been coached up on this team in 6 years aside from D-line. His coaching hires have all been terrible with the exception of Pettine and Dunbar.
Clearly Tannenbaum went from getting 'character guys' to character rejects and a win-now approach the moment Rex got here.
Rex is the reason the offense was starved for talent. And aside from defensive line, he hasn't added a thing to the D either.
So basically he's a great coach as long as he has no say in the offense, no say in the draft, no say in who his coaches are, no say in game and clock management. and please keep that flag out of his hands, he is worse than the biggest homer on challenges. Yeah he will be in great demand as a HC after this.
I would hate to see him in that role with the Pats though, where he can just devise blitzing schemes and working on adapting to a no touching, pass-rush defeating quick pass league.
My dream job for Rex is - coach at Rutgers. He would be an amazing recruiter I would think. That would at least be two things he could be great at.
@kniff Woody Johnson is doing his job better than mine. Unless he's commenting on a Pats forum now instead of consulting with experts about his next GM.
You are right but your assessment is wrong. Head coaches need to lead men and balance personalities. Rex can't lead on the offensive end so he is not head coach material, and i love Rex but I think Sanchez and Geno has talent and are made out to look worse than they are. These things fall on Rex.
@AaronGlenn @kniff He can handle the financials, everything else would be handled by committee, Idzik would have to approve the financial aspect, the New GM along with the scouts would approve the talent, and the New Coach would approve if it's a fit for that aspect of the team.
You don't fire Idzik , you hire his replacement and give him a made up title while Idzik remains the figurehead.

As an ordinary Chinese man, I felt sad and angry that Bo was brought down in this fashion. From the laughable evidence brought to the court by a team of 300 anti-corrupt elites and 500 days of investigation, you have to admit Bo, unlike most Chinese officials, is clean. And a key witness (his wife) against him, according to the court, refused to show up in court, and then how can her words be trusted?
Everybody knows this is political struggle, but I can't believe it is this dirty and dark. A good men, who have successfully built up two great model cities, is treated in this way, really damaged the reputation of the Chinese government.
I for one, will await for Bo's come back and contribute to the course.

[quote="Big Book page 12, Bills Story"]Despite the living example of my friend there remained in
me the vestiges of my old prejudice. The word God still
aroused a certain antipathy. When the thought was expressed
that there might be a God personal to me this
feeling was intensified. I didn't like the idea. I could go for
such conceptions as Creative Intelligence, Universal Mind
or Spirit of Nature but I resisted the thought of a Czar of
the Heavens, however loving His sway might be.8 I have
since talked with scores of men who felt the same way.
My friend suggested what then seemed a novel idea. He
said, "Why don't you choose your own conception of God?â€

A Q&A with Martin Rossman, M.D., author of The Worry Solution
Is worry always bad for you?
No, that's the point of The Worry Solution. "Good" worry can help you solve problems and avoid danger. It's just when you let it become a bad habit that it becomes a problem.
Do women worry more than men? If so, why?
All studies show that women worry more than men. Why? Probably because they have more to worry about—including men! Biologically speaking, with women generally being smaller, slower, and physically weaker than men, it makes sense for them to be more vigilant and careful, especially to signs of violence and aggression. Brain studies show that the areas in the brain that process fear and vigilance are considerably larger in women, and I have to assume that was in the survival interest for them and their young. Now, with so much frightening information coming to us through the media, everyone, women especially, need to upgrade their mental software so as to be able to focus on using worry well.
How can we develop a good worry habit if we are living with very real worries—like facing eviction or not having health care, or having family in a war-torn country?
Unfortunately, The Worry Solution cannot remove real tragedy and hardship from life. But it can eliminate a great deal of tragedy and hardship that never actually happens. The essence of The Worry Solution is separating things into those you can do something about from those you can't, and learning how to deal better with both. It doesn't mean life is easy, but it can help us avoid making life harder than it needs to be.
Can you explain why guided imagery is so effective in reducing worry and anxiety?
Imagery-based thinking shifts our attention out of the ruts of worry we may have inadvertently created and immediately shows us that we can have choices about what we experience. It is also the most direct and potent way to connect with our ability to relax, access our own wisdom, and solve problems creatively. Imagery can transform worry from a bad habit to a powerful tool for living.
Using the techniques outlined in this book, how soon would someone see a difference in their worrying habits?
If people haven't ever experienced a way to consciously relax their bodies and minds, they often feel better immediately after doing that! Just knowing that whether you are consumed by worry or have other options is very freeing and changes the way people think. To change a habit, though, takes practice and repetition. Someone with a bad worry habit might need three to six weeks to develop a better way to use their ability to worry.
How do people know when they need medication for their worry and when they can use guided imagery alone?
There are traumatic times when fear goes beyond worry and it can take over our minds—creating panic and high levels of anxiety. When the brain is aroused that way, it may take medications to get the anxiety level down to where people can regain control of their faculties.
But when the worry is chronic and habitual, it is wise to learn the skills taught in The Worry Solution and see what they can do for you. Many people find that gets them back in control of themselves and they don't need medications.

Meet the locals at Maui's small towns, from Wailuku to Makawao. Explore flower farms like the Kula Botanical Garden to see colorful protea, orchids and bird-of-paradise.

Raw superfood brownies
Prep Time
5 min -
Total Time
1 hour 5 min -
Shelf Life
5 days in fridge -
5/5 (from 6 ratings)5 -
12 servings
- 1 cup sunflower seeds
- 1 cup cashews
- 2 1/4 cups dates
- 1/2 cup raw cacao
- 1/2 cup shredded unsweetened coconut
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil
- 1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
- 1/4 cup goji berries (or raw cacao nibs or other chunky superfood substitute) (reserve)
- 1/4 cup hemp hearts (or chia seeds in a pinch) (reserve)
Recipe Directions
- 1. Place sunflower seeds in food processor. Process into a fine meal, might be slightly grainy.
- 2. Add cashews and continue to process into a fine meal.
- 3. Add dates a few at a time and continue processing until the dates are well processed and the mixture resembles a coarse cookie dough. You should barely be able to recognize the dates or seeds/nuts, everything should look small and crumbly.
- 4. Add the cacao, coconut, coconut oil, vanilla extract, sea salt, and the tiny dash of cayenne pepper. Process again until everything is well distributed and fine. The cacao should have made everything look dark chocolatey color, and the mixture should still resemble slightly crumbly cookie dough and should stick together when you pinch it between your fingers.
- 5. Dump mixture into a big mixing bowl. Add the goji berries, hemp hearts. Mix with a spoon until superfoods are well distributed. Taste test. Not sweet enough? Add optional sweetener and mix again with your spoon.
- 6. Dump superfood brownie mixture into two square glass pans or pie plates or brownie dishes.
- 7. With clean hands. press mixture down into pans so that mixture will stick together and will resemble brownies or squares.
- 8. Ideally, you will now refrigerate them right away for at least an hour minimum. (This will make them easier to slice.)
- 9. Enjoy these raw superfood brownies!
The Rawtarian's Thoughts
By The RawtarianThe chocolatey flavor and a little bit of satisfying crunch combine to make these the perfect raw dessert recipe of all time.
I don't really believe in the crazy power of superfoods and I don't use them very often--mostly because they are so expensive. But it is fun to add some variety to recipes by adding some extraordinary ingredients like hemp hearts and goji berries on occasion. The below raw brownie recipe does call for some exotic (AKA expensive!) ingredients. If you're on a budget or don't have them in the house, you can omit the goji berries and the hemp hearts, and the recipe will still come out fine but it just won't be a superfoody or as crunchy :)
This is a pretty easy raw superfood brownie recipe. Just process most of the ingredients in a food processor, then mix in the goji berries, hemp hearts (and optional additional sweetener) by hand. Then press into two glass brownie dishes and refrigerate.
Also, if you're feeling extra enthused you can whip up an icing to go on top (raw chocolate icing or raw vanilla icing or raw strawberry sauce). (However, icing is definitely not necessary.)

Thank you! I tried them with the chia seeds and they are really nice. Kinda crunchy. I love your slices. Have you any new ones? I think I've worked my way through them all.
First recipe I tried from your site and love it. Made a few substitutions (did ½ sunflower seeds and ½ pepitas soaked overnight and then dehydrated to dry a bit). Did a ¼ of shredded coconut and a ¼ hemp seeds to bump up the Superfood side of things. Plus swapped goji berries (which I don't like at all) with Bee pollen. Biggest challenge was getting them into a pan as I was gobbling right out of the mixing bowl. My new breakfast bar! Thank you!!!

Dee's Review
Raw superfood brownies
These are amazing… thanks for sharing!!!
Hi Tristan,
In this recipe, dates are used for 3 reasons: sweetness and stickiness and bulk (volume)
The honey would be a good substitute for the sweetness, but the consistency wouldn't be right without something else to sub for the bulk/stickiness.
Not sure why you don't want to use dates, but you can use raisins instead with no other tweaks necessary.
You can also use honey for sweetness and use dried apricots for the stickiness and bulk.
Hope this helps somewhat :)

Raw superfood brownies
Love it! Make this every week ... my 5-year-old can't get enough!
Actually, both my daughters (aged 3 and 5) help make them but it's my 5-year-old that loves them the most. I chuck the sunflower seeds and cashews in together at step 1, along with a couple of heaped tablespoons of ground chia seeds (my kids aren't keen on the texture of whole chia seeds). I also substitute the goji berries with cranberries. No-one here stocks/knows of hemp hearts that I can find so I use hemp powder.
Delicious and all my friends ask for the recipe. Thanks LJ!
I haven't tried these yet but they sound incredible.Are hemp seeds sold at health food stores or can I get them at Trader Joe's?
Tracy's Review
Raw superfood brownies
Made and froze these Monday evening for my child's birthday yesterday. I also used the icing recipe on top of the brownies. I must say, these are (I say "are" as we still have a couple of bars left) these are as filling as they are decadent. I did not have unsweetened shredded coconut (and I live in the tropics -- go figure!!), so I substituted the ingredient with coconut milk instead. This, paired with raw, Guernsey milk vanilla ice cream was over-the-top delicious. Needless to say, everyone loved the brownies.
Followed the recipe adding chia seeds. These are delicious! Definitely adding to my make again list!
Omg...used chia instead of hemp and walnuts instead if cashews, didn't use the vanilla!!! This was amazing and supermummy yummy!!!!
excited to try this recipe. it says to add the goji and hemp into the mixture, however in the picture they are sprinkled on top of the brownies. did you just add extra on top?
thank you so much:)
Yes seeds are okay its just all nuts. The podcast was helpful thanks for the tips. Do you think garbanzo beans would work?

These jeans are so comfortable and fit amazingly. I am 5'1 and 115lbs and got a size 4 with a 30in inseam and they fit great.
July 3, 2013
Great Fit
The jeans have enough stretch in them that they don't sag after I have been wearing them for awhile. they are perfect length and fit for me.
June 5, 2013
Comfy and cute
Great color- very flattering and transitions easily from day to night. Fit is wonderful for ladies with curvy hips and thighs! Very comfy.
June 4, 2013
Comfy and Perfect for Work
These jeans are incredibly comfortable and perfect to wear to work. Dark enough in color and great structure. Hugs the curves, but not skin tight. I am 5'5'' and the regular length is long on me, but I solve that problem by cuffing them a few times to a cropped length. They look great with flats or heels.
When I buy again, I will purchase the short length. Great pair of jeans!
June 2, 2013
Amazing Jeans
I bought a pair of these jeans three years ago and they just started to fall apart. Mind you I wear them about 4 days out of the week every week. They are the most comfortable jeans I have ever owned. I am 5 feet 2 inches and the shorts fit me 100% perfect in length. Over the years the dark wash has faded so I decided it was time for some new ones. The size 6 in the old ones fit me perfectly but they seemed a little smaller this time around. It could just be because they are so worn they are stretched but I weigh 120lbs and the 6 fit incredibly well. I would recommend these jeans to anyone who wants a nice comfortable skinny jean.
May 30, 2013
Awesome jeans!
Love these jeans! I'm 5'2 with a very small waist but normal hips. It's so hard to find jeans that I don't need a belt with. Finally the Limited came through!! Thank you:)
May 22, 2013
Love these jeans!
I have tried on a lot of jeans to find my next new favorite pair, and these are it! I'm 5'5" 130 and hold my weight in my stomach. These jeans are perfect for me. My only complaint.....Limited needs more washes. I would buy ones in every color!
May 18, 2013
Curvy Delight
These jeans make me make want to buy more of the 917 style. I'm a 5'00", curvy hourglass female who always finds it difficult to buy jeans since my waist is small and my thighs and backside are shapely. I was a little skeptical about getting the jeans but when I finally got them and tried them on, I absolutely loved them. The fit is true to size and their was no gap at the waist and enough room in the thighs not to feel squeezed in the jeans. The quality of the jeans are great and the construction is well made. Even though I should of washed the jeans before wearing them I forgot and had a concert to attend, And NO COLOR came off on my hands or shirt. The color is even throughout even after washing. I had them shipped to my office and my coworker saw them and fell in love. She turned around and ordered them; now she is a Limited junkie too.
I wish you had them in different colors.

Nasalization font family
Designed by Ray Larabie in 2000
One small logo for NASA, one giant font for mankind! Nasalization retains the feel of the 70's American Space Program while setting its sights on the future with its clean, streamlined design. For an oblique look there are italics for most weights and widths. For even greater flexibility there are alternate characters; barred and non-barred A, open and closed B, P and R and left leaning M and W. The Nasalization crew consists of 3 weights: light, regular and bold available 3 widths: condensed, regular and extended plus italics for each. In addition to the regular payload of 18 styles, there is an extra shipment of bonus styles: * Outline, where outer space meets inner space.* 3D, because the Universe isn't flat after all.* Video, when motion is part of the big picture.* Galaxy, transmitted from the Eastern spiral arm.* Ink, full of static but still coming in loud and strong. Ideal for neon signs, back-lit signs, science reports, headlines and retail product packaging, Nasalization looks retro and futuristic at the same time. When your message needs to aim high and go far: choose Nazalization.

There certainly has been no loud crowing in alt.revisionism. >But readers write to me and give me helpful tips on what is happening so >far in Nizkor's favorite forum - the news groups such as alt.revisionism >where you can go to wallow in the mud. > >The one that caused the greatest mirth is Jamie McCarthy's theory of >self-combustion once bodies have been set on fire Wrote one, an >engineering student: "Maybe he has now solved the world's energy crisis. . Ms. Rimland, paper self-combusts once it is ignited. All this means is that it requires an initial application of energy to bring the object to ignition temperature, but once ignited, it produces enough energy to sustain the reaction. Perhaps a better term would be "self-sustaining burn." You cannot simply laugh this off. Since it works for paper, you actually have to prove or disprove this for a body. Unless your engineering student thinks that paper will solve the world's energy crisis.... >Another wrote, in reference to the same reply: > >"The reply to Nizkor's breathless and hysterical blurb is tedious but >fairly straightforward.

He is not exempt from providing a checkable source for his assertion unless he claims he has performed the experiment personally. >Wrong, says McCarthy, once a fire is started, a corpse self-combusts. > >What does that mean?

Ms. Rimland, either you do not understand the issues, or you are being disingenuous. The same is true of your anonymous young engineering graduate. Paper does not burst into flame on its own, but it burns without further heating once it is ignited. That is all that Jamie is claiming for corpses. Note that you (correctly) have Jamie saying "once the fire is started" - which ought to tell any intelligent and literate speaker of English that the crack about cadavers bursting into flame on their own is at best the work of an illiterate and at worst the work of someone deliberately trying to mislead people. There is a difference between the first corpse and the next corpse. It is not only the body which must be heated; the oven itself must be brought up to operating temperature - it has mass and the laws of thermodynamics say that it too will draw off some of the heat energy rather than permitting it all to be directed into the body. While 300kg of coke may be required to heat a cold crematory oven to the ignition temperature of a body, the oven is designed to retain heat and so it does not require an additional 300kg to burn the next body if the oven is not cooled down between cremations. Additional fuel is required only to make up for heat loss. So it will take far less than 300kg to burn the second body if the oven is not cooled down. I know, Lagace says that the ovens must be cooled down. But he is not a designer of ovens, only a user. As will be shown below, there is now expert evidence on the table challenging Lagace's assertion. And the experts had no idea they were supporting any Holocaust "religion" when they gave their accounts - they were just talking to a newspaper reporter about cremation in general. >By McCarthy's own assertion, he and his people at Nizkor "have no >credibility to lose". They have no expertise in anything. Neither do you. And there are some people who have contributed information who _do_ have some credentials. E.g., Richard Green in chemistry (a doctoral student), and Scott Mullins in engineering. >Well, it shows. > >A thousand ignorances assembled together do not make for one knowledge. We >see nothing to be gained from unknowledgeable people chewing the cud, for >months on end, over a topic on which they know little or nothing - in this >case, the technology of the cremation of human remains - when such >knowledge is readily available from experts. > >(Here I would refer to the testimony of Ivan Lagace on 5 and 6 April 1988 >at the Zundel trial.

But >then they can't, can they, because if they did, they couldn't boast that >they're beating the pants off Zundel-even though "they have no expertise"? An interesting double-bind. But the point was never to boast. That is an empty personal slur, not an argument. >Besides, would any expert consent to give contradictory evidence, if he had >any concern or pride as to his future standing as an expert in his field? >The crematory oven has to be cooled off after each cremation. What else is >there to say? No fuel - no cooling off period in between jobs - no >cremation. Sorry, but there is much more to say. Since you cannot be bothered to wallow in the mud (as you put it), you never saw the following article I posted. It was taken from something which appeared in my local free weekly paper. It was about cremation, not the Holocaust, and the experts in it were not (as far as they knew) engaged in defending any Holocaust "myths." Yet they do indeed contradict all of your alleged experts. I have made some enhancements in the footnotes (which are all mine) since I first posted the excerpts. Richard Rapp stands alongside a waist-high gurney and examines its cargo: a human body zipped snugly into a white plastic bag and lying on a thin slab of plywood. The gurney stands next to a 3-foot-square stainless steel door. The door is set in the wall of an otherwise empty classroom- size room. The room is painted yellow and bathed in fluorescent light. Rapp unzips the bag several inches an looks at the body. It is a wizened, old white man. Rapp rezips the bag. Then he turns to his nephew, Robert Rapp, who wears a white lab coat and heavy-duty suede gloves that come halfway up his forearms. "Is the paperwork done?" Rapp asks. "Yeah," Robert responds. "OK, then." Rapp steps around the gurney and punches a button on the control panel by the door. The steel hatch rises at the head of the gurney. There is a quiet roar, and a wave of heat washes over the Rapps and their charge. The open door reveals a deep, narrow hearth that glows bright orange through the heat-smeared air. "Ready?" Rapp asks his nephew. Robert nods, places his hand on the edge of the plywood at the foot of the body, and shoves. The sheet of wood carries its load off the gurney and into the chamber. Rapp shuts the door with another punch of a button. He glances at the gauges beside the door and walks away. Robert wheels the gurney toward a door leading to the back room, where yet another corpse awaits its final disposition. So begins another burn-to-urn cycle in the sacred commerce conducted by Chesapeake Crematory Inc. (CCI) of Beltsville, one of the Washington area's largest cremation facilities. Here, in a dreary landscape of warehouses and distributorships, Rapp and his nephew performed some 900 cremations in 1995. This year they will do even more. On this bright, bitter-cold February day alone, CCI incinerated five bodies.[1] [...] The centerpiece of any crematory is, of course, the cremation oven, or "retort." CCI's retort is a Phoenix II, the 17-ton state-of-the-art product >from B&L Cremation Systems Inc. of Clearwater, Fla., one of a half-dozen U.S. crematory oven manufacturers. The Phoenix II runs about $85,000. The retort's primary chamber, currently occupied by Mr. James' body, is 96 inches long, 38 inches wide, and 29 inches high. That is more than ample to accommodate a very large person and casket. The chamber's walls and ceiling are lined with heat-reflecting ceramic tiles. The floor, or hearth, is constructed from alumina silica that can withstand temperatures up to 3,500 degrees Fahrenheit. Embedded in the ceiling, right above where the average corpse's chest comes to rest, is a giant blowtorch nozzle. It is known in the trade as the "flame port." As he once again checks the gauges on the retort, Rapp observes that this third cremation of the day is far different from the first. Human flesh requires extended exposure to 1,400 degrees Fahrenheit in order to ignite.[2] For the first cremation of the day, when the retort is just warming up, Rapp needs to use the flame port. It blasts the body with a 2,800 -degree gush of fire. But by the time Mr. James' body enters the retort, the air in the primary chamber is roiling well above 1,400 degrees. Shortly after the door comes down, his body is aflame.[3] Here is how it happens: The human body, which is 85 percent water, burns outside to inside in a rapid cycle of layer-by-layer dehydration and ignition. The heat dries out the skin; the dry skin ignites. That fire dries out the next layer of muscle and fat, which then ignites. And so on, until the internal organs are consumed. According to B&L President Steve Looker, who designed the Phoenix II, the average body gives off a modest 1,000 Btu per pound of meat (burning wood, by comparison, gives off 6,000 Btu).[4] But an extremely obese corpse - like the one Rapp recently had to burn in its casket because it was wedged in so tightly - can run to 17,000 Btu. "That's like burning kerosene," says Looker. The Phoenix II takes these differences into account and carefully regulates the amount of oxygen entering the retort to ensure a controlled, efficient burn. [...] The Romans also practiced cremation. But as with the Greeks, only members of the wealthier classes could afford a private cremation. Indeed, calling a fellow Roman's ancestors "half-burned" was a grievous insult that implied that those forebears had been cremated on one of the public mass pyres used to dispose of the poor.[5] [...] Ninety minutes into the burn cycle, Rapp checks on the corpse's progress. He raises the retort's door about 10 inches and peers into the hearth. It looks like a giant fireplace at the end of a cozy night. There are no flames, but the chamber bed glows orange. Small chunks of whitish- gray debris lie in the oven. A particularly large clump sits about halfway back, just about where the hip was. Rapp closes the door and heads into the storeroom to take care of a couple of things while the retort finishes the job. (According to Looker, much of the burn time is devoted to breaking down and whitening the bones, because "people expect nice white remains.")[6] [...] In 1983, Rapp hung out his shingle at 18th and T Streets NW. Five years later, he moved the operation to Silver Spring as he could operate his own crematory. But shortly after he opened the new location, a neighbor began an aggressive campaign to shut him down. In his drumbeat of complaints to Montgomery County officials, the man claimed that Rapp's oven was emitting nauseating smells and billows of black smoke. County inspectors found no evidence to support these allegations.[7] In fact, the crematory was never cited for any sort of operating violation. Nevertheless, after spending $100,000 on legal fees without resolving the feud, Rapp agreed in 1994 to relocate the crematory. The bitterness still lingers in Rapp. Despite his personal feelings about the importance of openness, he says he understands why many crematories prefer a low profile. And when the topic of complaints about "the smell" come up, an uncharacteristic harshness creeps into his voice. Such smells, he says, are in people's minds, not in their noses. "This is 1996, not the turn of the century," he says, almost sneeringly. "With today's technology, there really isn't much odor."[8] [...] When the burn cycle is complete, Rapp switches off the retort, walks through the storeroom, and turns into the area that houses the back end of the retort. His nephew stands ready with a long-handled tool that looks like a metal squeegee. At Rapp's signal, Robert opens the back door of the retort and vigorously rakes the silvery debris into a chute that leads down to a stainless steel bin. The material makes a chinking sound as it moves - like embers being stirred in a fireplace. After two hours, this is what is left of a human body: five to seven pounds of remains, depending on bone structure. [...] Rapp points out several clearly identifiable bones among the cooling chips and chunks. A piece of hip. An 8-inch strip - probably a radius or ulna. A ball that once fit a hip or shoulder. In fact, the entire skeleton is there. Bones are largely calcium, which burns only after lengthy exposure to temperatures much higher than those in the Phoenix II.[9] [...] You can't give mourners bone fragments, so Robert hoists the bin and gently pours its contents into the pulverizer. The pulverizer resembles a small, battered lift-top freezer. A metal-screen drum slightly larger than a paint can sits inside. Robert lowers the lid and hits a switch. The pulverizer will reduce the chunky remains into a pile of matter with the look and consistency of ground oyster shells. "We've got another [pulverizer] that will take the [remains] down to something with the texture of sand, if that's what people want," says Rapp. It is a remarkably efficient system: a 200-pound body reduced to an easily handled heap of base elements in just over two hours.[10] [...] Source: "Keeper of the Flame," _Washington City Paper_, Vol. 16 No. 11, March 15-21 1996, pp. 20-24. Notes: [1]Obviously they never heard that they could only do three or four or else they'd damage their oven. After all, Lagace _is_ an expert. [2]The article does not specify the scale; since it is for an American audience I presume the 1,400 degrees refers to Fahrenheit. Mattogno claims that older ovens worked at only 800 degrees C, yet they seemed to do the job - but then, that would translate to about 1,400 Fahrenheit. [3]Note that the writer actually contradicts himself here - in the paragraph before, he said that "extended exposure" was required. Yet in the very next paragraph, he says that the body is aflame shortly after the door comes down. But the more important point is that the article firmly establishes that the first cremation is different - that the flame port is used for the first one, but it does not have to be used for the third one because the oven is up to temperature. For those who missed it, this means that the oven was NOT cooled down (contradicting Lagace). [4]1,000 BTU per pound is modest, and I know that a newspaper article is not a technical journal, but I read this as saying that the burn _is_ self- sustaining provided that the body is kept in an insulated environment. Once the burn is activated, there is a net energy gain from each pound of flesh, even lean flesh. Please ask your engineering student to stop laughing and start providing some rebuttal data. [5]Contradicting the revisionist assertion that bodies could not have been burned on mass pyres at Birkenau because such things could not have had enough oxygen. [6]I contacted Mr. Looker by phone. I asked him what the maximum throughput would be if the only concern were burning as fast as possible - say, in case of plague. He said one average adult body per hour. The rating is really in terms of mass - he said ovens vary from about 100 to 200 lbs per hour. (His model is top-of-the-line, but of course you'd expect him to say that.) He agreed it would be quite possible to burn two undersized and emaciated women or 3-4 small children in the same period of time. Without any prompting from me, he mentioned in passing that older crematoria were quite capable of shooting out flames if overloaded, a phenomenon he called a "candle." True, he did not say thirty feet; his figure was "only" eight to ten feet. His own product is designed to avoid this. Even so, he allowed that if he actively tried for it, there is a decent chance he could produce the effect as well. This contradicts the revisionist "expert" claim that flames cannot shoot out of crematorium chimneys. [7]Were I a "scholar" in the mold of Mark Weber or Greg Raven, I would of course silently snip out this sentence. [8]In this statement I see an implication that earlier technology might indeed give off smoke and odor. [9]This was news to Matt Giwer. [10]But see note [6] above. >As to alleged "internal contradictions". > >Revisionists do not claim to speak with one voice and never have. That's >why the CODOH website exists: to encourage open debate on the holocaust. >Each Revisionist speaks for himself, in his own quest for historical truth. > >Revisionists may, therefore, freely express conflicting opinions and many >do so: without dissent and debate, there is obviously no issue. > >But contrary to where Nizkor comes from, there is no pain associated with >Revisionist debate: Revisionism has no central authority, no "Politburo" to >decree what is undeniable truth and what is heinous "denial", and to hurl >thunderbolts from on high at the offending party. Please identify this "Politburo," Ms. Rimland. Name names. I have not encountered it. I have a fairly simple definition of heinous denial which clearly establishes the difference between it and legitimate revisionism. It is simply this: denial uses selective reading of evidence, rejects all inconvenient eyewitness testimony and documents as being lies and forgeries while embracing any convenient testimony (does Ernst still sell the Lachout Document video?), and uses selective quotation and distortion of evidence in its arguments. Legitimate revisionism follows intellectually honest methods of inquiry. >As in so many other fields of human endeavor, historical truth is really >arrived at through debate over opposing views by knowledgeable individuals, >periodic revision of the historical record, and new discoveries. In >attempting to follow such a process, Revisionism has seen no evidence that >would lead it to revise its main conclusions respecting the official thesis >of Exterminationism. What is missing from this description is that the debate must be conducted using consistent and intellectually honest rules of evidence and standards of proof. In my experience that has been missing from what you call "Revisionism." Greg Raven has evaded all attempts to pin him down on standard of proof. Raven and Mark Weber have made arguments based on deceptive quotes out of context. So has Friedrich Berg - he ignored some very inconvenient sections of the same technical papers he used as his sources. Robert Faurisson gave a very dishonest picture of the nature of the ballpoint pen markings in the diary of Anne Frank. Fred Leuchter out- and-out lied about his qualifications, and made up ludicrous and fanciful explanations of documents such as the nature of the gas testers. (Apparently he did not see the letter on Topf stationery, with signatures and enough stamps to send an elephant by airmail, which expressly mentioned _cyanide_ detectors for the Kremas, where Leuchter declared cyanide was too dangerous to use due to the risk of explosion.) The Lachout Document was offered as evidence without being subjected to the same standard of scrutiny and forensic testing demanded by "revisionists" for any document supporting the orthodox history of the Holocaust. And so on. Inconvenient documents are simply read out of the record with a naked assertion of "Soviet forgery!" No forensic testing is offered, even for documents which bear signatures (such as the letter from Bischoff to Kammler, file copy signed by Pollock, mentioning a "Vergasungskeller."). >Revisionism's conclusions are: (a) that gassings in specifically designed, >homicidal mass gassing chambers didn't happen - the "gas ovens" are a >propaganda tool; (b) that there never was a Hitler order that called for a >genocide of the Jews, and (c) that the numbers of Jewish victims are >irresponsibly inflated to boost the reparations claims and to gain moral >and political advantage globally. (This is from one of EZ's letters to >McCarthy). However, it seems to come from a selective reading of the evidence. >(By contrast) the Pope of the holocaust dogma, Raul Hilberg, ran away to >revise his book, rather than to come forth and bear witness to his >assertions at the 1988 Z|ndel trial. This does not augur well for the >extermination cult. Anyone who reads the record of that trial will >understand why. > >The revisionist position is not carved in stone as religious dogma, >contrary to that of the exterminationists. Revisionists have always been >open to credible proofs in support of other scenarios. This I dispute, at least with respect to specific individuals I have encountered. When cogent rebuttal arguments and evidence have been offered, they did not respond, yet later repeated the same challenged arguments without offering any counter-rebuttal. This is not intellectually honest, and it also does not seem consistent with the assertion made above. >Fifty years after the alleged event, we are still awaiting such proofs. . ." One thing I have often encountered in "Revisionist" argumentation is that it applies the standards of a courtroom to the Holocaust, and argues like a defense lawyer, not a historian. My response is this: what standard of proof is required, and do you require that same standard for other historical events, such as Stalin's crimes? >I couldn't have said it better myself! I would be most interested in your answer to the previous question, Ms. Rimland, especially considering your recent Zundelgram about Russian atrocities against Germans.

That's Wiesenthal, Mr. Swiger. And in regard to your specious claim above, the Simon Wiesenthal Center states the following: "The Nazis classified their many hundreds of concentration camps on their basis of their primary function. In a very real sense, all were death camps because the death of the inmates, whether through overwork, starvation/disease, or outright murder, was ultimately expected. "Those sites, however, which functioned as extermination centers (Auschwitz-Birkenau, Treblinka, Majdanek, Sobibor, Belzec, and Chelmno), were specially equipped for the gassing of hundreds of thousands of victims each (millions altogether). All of these camps were located in Poland, and for good reason. Poland had far more Jews than Germany and the rest of Western Europe combined. The Nazis also felt that the relative remoteness of Poland's rural areas would also minimize reports of mass murder taking place there. Source: http://www.wiesenthal.com/resource/revision.htm#12 Note the reference to "extermination centers" and _not_ "extermination gas chamber[s]," Mr. Swiger? You are clearly in err when you imply that the issue is in regards to "extermination gas chamber[s]" rather than extermination _camps_ And what does the Simon Wiesenthal Center have to say about extermination centers (i.e. death camps)? "A death (or mass murder) camp is a concentration camp with special apparatus specifically designed for systematic murder. Six such camps existed: Auschwitz-Birkenau, Belzec, Chelmno, Majdanek, Sobibor, Treblinka. All were located in Poland." Source: http://www.wiesenthal.com/resource/36quest1.htm#6 Note the reference to "mass murder" and "special apparatus specifically designed for systematic murder." The homicidal gas chambers at Dachau were never used for systematic mass murder, Mr. Swiger. And when comparing hokmicidal gassinf operartions at Dachau to the the six death camps on Poland, Mr. Swiger, relatively few people were killed in the gas chamber at Dachau. The fact of the matter is, Mr. Swiger, Dachau was not an extermination camp and the Simon Wiesenthal Center never claimed it was. > If it took 4 hours to unload the gas chamber in a best case you'd only be able > to send 1500 bodies to the crematories in a 24 hour shift. No where near > 12,000 as is claimed. Mr. Swiger, you seemed to have "confused" Barracke X at Dachau with the Kremas at Birkemau! Why is that? Ignorance or duplicity? The issue of how many people could be gassed is somewhat misleading, Mr. Swiger, as it the bottleneck to the gassing operations at Birkenau was the incineration of the victims. According to an estimate made by the Auschwitz SS the number of corpses that could be incinerated in the four Kremas every 24 hours was 4,416. However, by overloadeding the furnaces the number of victims incinerated was increased to perhaps as much as 7,000-8,000 every 24 hours. (cf. Gutman, _Anatomy_, pp.165-166,171,173,180.) Of course, with the disabling of Krema IV in late 1943, the incineration capacity was reduced by about 1,500 corspes per 24 hours. This meant that the incineration capacity at Birkenau would have been approximately 5,500-6,500 victims per day. This caused unacceptable problems during Aktion Ho"ss and incineration pits were used to take care of the "overflow." The incineration pits, in _addition_ to the three Kremas, could handle some 10,000 victims per day. (One set of pits augmented Krtema IV [5,000 per day] and another handled the gassing victims of bunker 2 [5,000 per day]). (cf. Ibid., pp.173,234.) This would mean that the number of victims that could be killed _and_ disposed of per day at Birkenau could have been as high as 16,000 or so. > ...Incinerating 4 or 5 corpses in 25 to 30 minutes? Totally > asinine. Then, Mr. Swiger, I'm sure you won't mind posting, for example, the heat transfer equations, in specific regard to the Topf tripple-muffle furnace, that proves that incinerating "4 or 5 corpses" in 25-30 minutes is "totally asinine?" > State of the art crematories take 1 to 3 hours to cremate > just one corpse. Consult a crematory and find out for yourself. Excellent advice, Mr. Swiger! Too bad you seem to have not taken it yourself. From the Internet Cremation Society FAQ: "The temperature at which cremations are done vary based upon the retort manufacturer, but most machines operate between 1,500 to 1,900 degrees F. The actual cremation time again varies depending upon the type of machine. Low capacity retorts take approximately 3 hours to complete a cremation while high capacity machines take less than one hour. In addition to the type of retort, the size of the individual and the number of cremations conducted during the day also affect the time. For example, in the retort we operate, the first cremation of the day takes about two hours and the second takes about an hour. That is because the retort already has a high internal temperature at the beginning of the second cremation." Source: http://www.cremation.org/faq.shtml#At what temperature Please note, Mr. Swiger, that "high capacity machines take less than one hour." Considering the operating temperatures, incineration times, and number of muffles etc, the Topf triple-muffle furnace was indeed a "high capacity machine." Please _also_ keep in mind, Mr. Swiger, that there are (and were) laws that prohibit commercial cremtoria from co-mingling the remains of the deceased. This means that the civilian cremation process allows for _only_ one corpse to be cremated at a time in the muffle. Such restrictions, however, did _not_ apply to SS concentration camp crematoria. This is _why_ furnaces were equiped with multiple muffles and _why_ more than one corpse was charged per muffle. Multiple muffle furnaces, like the Topf furnaces, in addition to their high capacity, were more economical in the SS concentration camp environment than single muffle furnaces. (cf. Ibid. p.139.) > But,this is technical and mathematical information that certainly doesn't > have any weight against your emotional and fantasic imagination, does > it Chuck? Sweet dreams. _What_ "technical and mathematical information" would that be, Mr. Swiger. So far _you_ have been long on wind and short on math. Typical denier: all bark and no bite.

12 displaced in three-alarm blaze on Manchester's Green Street
Fire Chief James Burkush, who suffered a cut to his hand, said Tuesday night that firefighters were trying to keep the blaze from spreading to nearby buildings more than two hours after it was reported shortly after 10 p.m.
Firefighters battled the blaze for about four hours and at one point had eight trucks - five elevated and three ground master streams - pouring water on flames at a rate of more than 500 gallons a minute. Initially, emergency workers received reports someone was trapped inside, sending firefighters into the smoky building searching for the resident. No one was located.
The fire appeared to have been contained by about 11 p.m., but a second wave of heavy smoke and fire hit the third floor, prompting ladder trucks to move in a second time.
Burkush said the fire did not rekindle.
"No, it was never out," he said.
Burkush said at 11:30 p.m. that he was the only person injured in the fire, "that I know of."
Rafael Cruz said he'd gone out to a store to buy some milk and, when he came back, saw smoke billowing from his apartment, as well as from the first floor and the basement. He said he got his family, including children 2 and 7, out and went back to warn neighbors.
He said he left the building when flames and smoke got stronger and he saw police and firefighters arrive.
"The flames were too much," he said. "I'm still choking, but I'm all right. I'm alive."
Cruz said he moved into the building in November and does not have renter's insurance. He said he has lost everything except a couple of his kids' coats and a blanket.
"I didn't have time to get clothes and other stuff," he said.
