- Addicted Review by JewellP
Quality Price Value This is the mainstay of my skincare regimen...I adore this stuff. I can actually tell a difference when I use it. My skin is tighter, softer, smoother, and younger looking. Please make it in a bath size that I can fully immerse myself in...hahaha!
- best cleanser for my skin Review by melanie
Price Value Quality I have acne prone/sensitive/sometimes dry and annoying skin! I am 20 and haven't been able to find a good cleanser that doesn't irritate my skin or cause breakouts in a few years. This is heaven in a tube and always makes my skin clear, smooth and feel replenished.
Thank you so much!
- E X C E L L E N T Review by Texas Glycolic Acid Beauty Fan
Value Quality Price I noticed a difference in 24-hours. I wasted over $500+ in salons receiving glycolic treatment. No more. Wrinkle Revenge 2 does improves my skill significantly. I had large pores from acne I've been trying to control for years through salon glycolic acid treatments. Wrinkle Revenge 2 does it better without all the financial cost and tips! There is no redness or irritation, I can't believe it. No sting, tingling, or post redness. It's unbelievable! Thank you Dr. Kunin for creating such a wonderful product! I am you new loyal customer from Texas! -S
- Love this! Review by JC
Price Value Quality I love this product for daily use and can't wait to try WR3. I feel like I have tried several facial cleansers for anti-aging and anti-acne and this one tops them all. While I don't find it removes full makeup very well, I do like to use it on clean skin which really helps the product absorb and work. I find like this product for my aging, oily, acne-prone skin better than 'Ain't Misbehavin' cleanser--which is a great product as well. I am 37 with fair skin and have been using DermaDoctor cleansers for approx 2y now.
- Amazing! Review by Peaches
Price Value Quality I tried product and I love it! It leaves my face feeling smooth and glowing.
- Waiting on product Review by Peaches
Price Value Quality I'm still waiting on product to come in the mail.
- Great Product! Review by Lisa
Quality Price Value I first stumbled across this facial cleanser in a magazine advertisement. I have extremely sensitive facial skin, but am quickly approaching my fiftieth birthday and felt I needed an age appropriate skin product to gently exfoliate and help maintain skin's youthful glow without leaving me blotchy, rashy, and/or itchy. I tried the smallest size available, because honestly so many products I've tried have ended up in the wastebasket. Bingo! This product works miraculously well!! I have used it faithfully for over three years now. My skin is clear, clean and feels healthy. When I splurge on professional facials, I get compliments on my skin quality. I love this stuff!!
- WOW! Review by MB, Mesa, AZ
Quality Price Value This is an amazing cleanser! I've been using a weaker glycolic cleanser for nearly 10 years and i thought I'd give this one a try, never expecting to see such amazing results. My skin is cleaner and clearer and it's glowing! My makeup went on flawlessly, without primer today for the first time in years. I've been using AM and PM. Great stuff!
- I can see the difference! Review by S, San Jose CA
Quality Price Value I absolutely love this cleanser!I am a long time glycolic acid fan but this product takes the cake. Within a few days, if not immediately, my skin looked smoother, even toned and "glowy". I began applying wrinkle revenge at the same time so I am sure it is a combination effect. I am 46 years old and thrilled. My skin looks so good; I actually forgot to apply foundation the other morning! Thank you! Susan
- The best Review by MHM, Austin TX USA
Quality Price Value I've been using glycolic acid/AHA cleansers for 15 years, and this one is absolutely the best. Washes away all makeup, cleans my oily skin completely, and leaves it feeling soft and smooth. Best of all, there is no flaking -- amazing considering all the other acids I use on my face (RetinA, Tazorac, Affirm3X, etc.)!

You can reduce your risk of angina and CAD by making certain lifestyle changes. These include:
Excess weight puts a strain on the heart muscle, which eventually can lead to angina and CAD. If you are overweight or obese , adopt a sensible eating plan and exercise regularly to lose weight gradually, and maintain your weight at the desired level.
Smoking damages your blood vessels, reduces the amount of oxygen in your blood, and forces your heart to work harder. Discuss with your doctor the best way to help you quit smoking .
Alcohol should be limited to no more then 1 to 2 ounces a day. In this quantity, alcohol may have a beneficial effect on raising your good cholesterol (HDL).
Diets that are high in saturated fat, trans fat, and cholesterol increase your risk of CAD. Saturated fat and cholesterol are found in animal products, most dairy products (such as milk, cream, and cheese), lard, and palm and coconut oils, among other foods. Trans fat is found in margarine and vegetable shortening, as well as foods containing these products. A registered dietitian can help you reduce saturated fats and cholesterol in your diet. Good dietary choices include fresh fruits and vegetable, as well as lean meats and fish—particularly fish rich in omega-3 fatty acids , such as salmon.
Taking a low-dose aspirin every day may help to reduce your risk of heart attack and stroke. Most people are able to tolerate aspirin. But, in rare cases, even small amounts can lead to serious bleeding, particularly from the gastrointestinal (GI) tract. Also, aspirin may not work as well when combined with other pain medicines. Talk to your doctor about whether daily aspirin therapy is right for you.
Another option is to take statin drugs. Statins are used to treat high cholesterol . But, some statins can be used even if you do not have cholesterol problems. If you are a man over age 50 or a women over age 60 with certain risk factors (eg, elevated C-reactive protein, high blood pressure , low HDL "good" cholesterol, smoking), your doctor may recommend that you take rosuvastatin to reduce your risk of heart disease.
People who have diabetes may reduce their risk of heart attack or other cardiac events if they maintain their blood glucose near normal levels. There are many other proven health benefits to maintaining tight control of blood glucose. If you have diabetes, talk to your doctor about ways to manage your blood sugar.
High blood pressure (hypertension) is one of the most critical risk factors for angina and coronary artery disease. Hypertension causes the heart muscles to work harder; the increased strain on the heart can lead to heart failure. Discuss with your doctor the best way to reach and maintain a healthy blood pressure, which involves diet, weight and exercise controls, and possibly medicine.
For people who have not yet developed CAD, regular aerobic exercise, such as brisk walking or using a stationary bike or treadmill, is recommended. Exercise will strengthen the heart muscle and can help lower blood pressure. Exercise is recommended in moderation (at least 3-4 times a week for 30 minutes). However, if you already have CAD, talk to your doctor before starting any new exercise program.
Emotional stress may bring on anginal pain. Think about what you can do in your life to cut down on stressful activities and situations. Consider learning meditation, progressive relaxation, or other techniques that you can use when you feel stressed. Try to work in an afternoon nap, since rest seems to be protective against both angina and stress.
There are some common warning signs that may signal angina and CAD. Contact your healthcare provider if you notice any of these symptoms:

Way out. You're looking at least $25m, GTA 4 cost a $100m.
No, I don't plan to fix any bugs.
But money spent on proprietary software is wasted.
Why would I want to spend money on proprietary software and reward proprietary software developers when I can spend money on open source software that contributes back to the community and rewards the community.
I think that if I spend money on proprietary software, I don't get anything back. I could just as easily pirate that shit if I wanted it.
When contributing to open source software, I feel like if I am getting something back. Because the code is not owned by someone, its giving to the community and my donations help further development.
Way out. You're looking at least $25m, GTA 4 cost a $100m.
I said amateurish and average, not just amateurish. So stop using selective quotation.
If you still don't get it - I'll tell you again but in other words - yes AAA is a subjective term just like beauty since there's no hardcoded properties defining it. I played the first several bundles and all games where either downright amateurish or average games. The games that the bundle ships now are better but to me they don't compare to Modern Warfare 3 class of games, hence they're, as I said, "average" and amateurish, not AAA
And don't give me 2005 or so games for obvious reasons. What was 7 years ago AAA, now is obviously not AAA any longer since the standards for AAA rise as time goes by.

That's what AAA is.
A budget issue.
Publishers decide how much money to spend on a game's development and marketing, and the ones that get the lion's share are "AAA" titles.
It's not a measure of whether a game is any good or not, only the budget spent by the publisher.
Take a recent example - Homefront was an AAA title for THQ. They spent millions on it. Millions. It rated 70% from Metacritic, because it wasn't very good.
The film version of the term is "Blockbuster" - it doesn't mean it's good, it means it's expensive. Take the Transformers movies as an example - they're shit, but they're expensive. They're "blockbusters" - and in game terms, they're AAA.
Let's quote a developer who gets to play with AAA budgets in excess of $20m, Alex Hutchinson from Ubisoft Montreal:
You're obsessed with using a term you don't understand as a badge of quality, when it's not - and the success of indie games thanks to download platforms like XBLA, Steam and PSN, goes to show the total irrelevance of AAA as a concept to modern gamers."We think about [this push] as kind of cancerous growth," .... "I think that will leave the AAA blockbusters as nothing more than the last of the dinosaurs."... "In my mind, video games need to have the goal of educating people, entertaining people, or at least being artistic," ... "If you're not pushing any of these things...then I think we're in for a rough patch."
Grand Theft Auto 4 isn't 1,000 times better than World of Goo, despite having 1,000 times more money spent on it.

The craftsman professional wratchet wrench is a must have for anyone doing any serious automotive work, it makes the job quicker and easier and can do jobs a regular wratchet can't. If you are a guy like me who doesn't have a car lift, then you know how it is working laying on your back. This tool makes getting those bell housing bolts and other hard to get bolts in an out a sinch. You have to break torque with a wratchet but after that just slip the air wratchet on and hold the trigger, no wratcheting back in forth forever one click at a time. The variable speed trigger is also a nice feature. I would highly recommend it.

this ratchet is a solid performer for the price.it seems to have a good amount of torque and so far has handled everything i have wanted it to do. only time will tell its long term durability.

First off, it is China made. With that being said, unless you buy it for a really good sale price, it isn't worth the price. Not all stuff from China is bad, but I have found that the Craftsman air tools just aren't top of the line. I knew that going into the game so I don't have a major beef with it. This particular tool lacks comfort with the trigger control. I also don't like how flimsy the trigger is. It bends rather easy. This tool isn't going to hold up if you are "drop your tool" kind of guy to get things moving quickly. And I don't suggest this for a field truck or service truck. It won't hold up to the conditions. Overall, for a person who uses it once in a while or you plan on being gentle with it, it gets the job done. I just feel the price isn't justified. I like to know that if I drop it on accident or rough work conditions are where it will be used, it will be able to handle the unintentional abuse. I don't see that the case.

Have used only Ingersol Rand (IR) air ratchets in the past. Bought this on sale and have been using it for 3+ months without any problems. Because it's the Pro series, it has a heavy duty case, seals, discs and gear head.

Works as well as the tool truck brands, and has the Sears guarantee.

This makes the jobs it can reach much faster. It's loud but show me one that isn't. It's bulky but that's the trade-off for the torque!

best air ratchet for the money i spent

Tool is very well made and will operate very slowly or fast. It als will ratchet for hand tightening to that extra tightness when required. I like it.

Rugged, light all around excellent!!

For what you spend on this tool you really can't go wrong, RPMs are a bitter slower than i like but the torque is good. the only reason it has 4 instead of 5 stars is the trigger, i have pesronally always hated those lever triggers because the don't allow me to get into tight places while i r&r transmissions. other than that great tool.

Lt. Charlene Ganner, Human Scoundrel
~ Destiny's Rest Docking Bays: Docking Bay 3 ~
Darkness. Charlene slowly opened her eyes, reality coming back in fuzzy blurriness,
"eughhhh...did you get the number of that speeder that decked me?"
she said, unsure if it was internal dialogue or actually out loud. As her vision cleared, Charlene noticed that a face was looming over her. Indistinct at first, it sharpened into that of Mara, her eyes were only half open and a mere four or so inches from her very own. A blush graced her cheeks and her pulse quickened,
"Ehm...Mara, yeah...ehm..."
Wiggling underneath the Zeltron, she frees one of her arms and gently rolls the woman off of her to the left. Charlene looked over to Luka on her right, hoping that the flush in her cheeks had subsided,
"Eugh...yeah, I'm fine Luka. Just a bit groggy. Yeah I can get up..."
She tilts slightly over to her left, bringing up her right leg and planting her foot on the ground and lifting her body with her arms. She pulled her arms back, expecting her left leg to move under her to support her weight, but when it didn't respond, Charlene came crashing back to the ground.
was the last thing she could exclaim before landing on Mara, her face ending right between the Zeltron woman's large breasts. Too embarassed and groggy enough to give a damn, Charlene feels defeated and just doesn't move. She talks, her voice muffled by the fabric of Mara's outfit and her breasts,
"Ma weg duff no feem ou fe werfing..."
"..and he rose from the dead on Easter. That's why Easter is more important than Christmas. Christianity is all about the ressurection of the dead"
"No, Mum....that's Necromancy"

The Grease Trap
Unable to find any characters in game 12490
No matter how hard Snipe tries to move he cannot leave the room. His sensors are locked on Caliana. He stops as he passes by Rowan and Arky kneeling down patting their shoulders before heading over to Caliana.
"Excuse me miss. I do not believe we have been acquainted. I am SV-T18 Personal security and Protocol droid. I believe according to that first message, that the main life-support systems are not functioning within healthy parameters. It would be much more beneficial to us and those that are still alive to head where we can do more good. I cannot leave you here by yourself even if you still wish to stay, my programming will not allow it."
Snipe tips his hat even if her back is turned to him, it is a force of habit for him by now.
"Statement: Indeed, I am most eager to engage in some unadulterated violence. At your command of course, Master."

Mara Aragone, Zeltron Female Noble
~ Destiny's Rest Docking Bay 3 ~
Mara Aragone
Female Zeltron Noble
Damage Threshold
Defenses: Fort
Force Points
Destiny Points
Mara was last looking at the handiwork of that pilot with the grabby hands, but... now she feels alone, floating in a sea of darkness. She is not sure what is going on, confused, and then...
She was starting to come around when the breath is knocked from her. Her eyes squeeze shut tight and suddenly feels like she cannot breathe.
"Ack... ulk... unnn."
Mara instinctively clutches herself and ends up hugging Charlene's head into her bosom as she struggles to force air into her lungs. Eyes shooting open, they are darting left and right. Holding onto the woman in her arms, like a stuffed animal or security blanket, she forces a breath and sucks in air. She coughs it back out.
Charlene's face bounces up and then down again in her cleavage from the wracking of Mara's abdomen muscles.
Finally registering some conscious awareness of what's going on, she is flat on her back in a Docking Bay for starters, Mara recognizes the utilitarian shampoo smell of the journalist laying on top of her with her hair half-escaped from its bun.
In a soft voice, still struggling to breathe comfortably, Mara rasps,
"If you... are going... to start... foreplay... at least... give me... a chance to enjoy it."
As her lungs are working more or less normally again, she smiles wanly and releases her hugging of Charlene. She places her hands to either side of the other woman's head and gently lifts her face up.
"Darling, you all right?"
Mara forces a playful smirk, but it evaporates in a wince as she takes stock of the new pains that are catching her attention now that the emergency of her not being able to breathe is over.
With Luka leaning over the two of them, she glances up at him and says,
"Luka, I am not sure what kind of show we were putting on for you, but I think Charlene was playing a bit rough and tackled me."
The tone of her voice suggests that might not have been a bad thing.
Back to you voin, unless you want Glyph to go first.

Oln Vizsla - Mando'ade/Miralukan Male Scoundrel
~ Destiny's rest - The Grease Trap~
With his helmet on Oln slides over the counter top to join the other awake members of the bar. He quickly does a head count and makes sure Rowan was still breathing and producing the Force. Confident she is alive, even if she's had better days, Oln is ready to follow Ossek. He claps Kat on the back and points at her. "
Now that is a take charge woman.
" Before and after he talks there is a slight crackle due to the poor mic in the second hand suit.
As they are leaving Oln hears the droid from before. Oln stops cold and turns on it. "
Not a chance am I leaving you alone with anyone Droid. Cat had a damn good point about all the new arrivals and now this happens. No you get to come with us and you get to walk in front. What was it you said your master was? A smuggler, pirate? It's only a matter of time before you go all kill all organics on us, so like I said get up front.

Turning, Katjur watched with veiled curiosity as Ossek managed to bring Oln around, the Mandalorian quickly getting to his feet and searching for the "armor" he had hidden behind the bar.
"Ossek has the right of it. Will you be joining us Cali?"
The Trianii studied the girl for a moment. She didn't look like a combatant, but Marko had called for everyone who was capable. Surely, if she was up and running as quickly as the others, then her fortitude must be of note.
"Oln mentioned earlier .... force users working here."
"Oln, do you know of any place we could arm ourselves, or should we expect Marko to do so?We could stop by your apartment, if you wanted to check on your family. At least, I am willing to make a detour, if no one else is as empathetic."
Chewing on that thought, Katjur waited to take the rear of the group, content to let others lead the way, and make sure no one got the drop on them.

Snipe turns around dead cold and his visual sensors turn red
"The only Organic I will kill is you if you do not lay off my back.."
Thats when all his defenses drop, internal and those he is not aware of. To the Miraluka SV-T18 would suddenly glow alight with life like a living being.
"Sir Katjur do not speak to this man of empathy for he has no way of comprehending the word. He feels nothing for life beyond his own that I can see. He would stab a Taun-taun to watch it bleed.. And Mando Bucket brain.. Do not think I will tolerate more of your condescension."
Snipe remains as a living entity in the force. Obviously being pushed so far into anger by Oln that he cannot mask it any longer.
"Statement: Indeed, I am most eager to engage in some unadulterated violence. At your command of course, Master."

Oln Vizsla - Mando'ade/Miralukan Male Scoundrel
~ Destiny's rest - The Grease Trap~
How did Kat always know what to say? Oln ignores the... droid? Though the force tells him his family is alive he does want to check on them. In fact he'd planned to break off from the group when they neared the apartments. Oln didn't think there were high odds that there had been a stun grenade pack an the residentials, but if there had been the thought of what one might do to an infant concerns him. "
I plan on checking in on them. I'm sure my wife is fine but I'm concerned about my little girl. I'm sure we can deal with a little company if your willing to come along.
Keeping a cold gaze on the droid Oln reaches up into a pocket and pulls out a black cylinder. He snaps his wrist and the cylinder expands to a short
Not an actual full meter snap baton, this uses stats for a regular baton from core rulebook
. He holds it to the side for Kat. "
You can use this if you don't want to get your claws dirty. If you want a blaster I'm sure Zeth won't mind lending you his. Otherwise we are likely waiting until we get to the security hanger.
Finally the Mando'ade addresses the thing again, "
Congratulation's you've just upgraded from droid to monster. I don't know what your trying to prove or how you learned your little trick but its not helping your case. And lets play the examine reasonable response game shall we. Droid clearly malfunctions and I don't fall over myself to treat it like something its not. I am suspicious of a new arrival on the day of a station wide attack. I have not made a single offensive act, in spite of the fact that I could have blasted a hole in you for the threat you represented. You on the other hand have decided because I've offended you murder is the first and best option in this situation? You assume because I don't like you that I am an uncaring machine? Yes, clearly I am the unreasonable one here.

"Perhaps we should save the confrontations until later? We are needed elsewhere."
Katjur wanted to act the diplomat, but was unsure of how to diffuse the situation. What was the protocol of handling this type of thing when an entire station was on high alert? Emotions were already running hot, and each spark that came from the clashing of personalities only further added to the chances of the powder keg exploding.
Turning down the Baton, he nodded his thanks to the Mandalorian.
"My claws will do, for now. Perhaps it is wise if we split up? Ossek and Snipe can make their way to the Hangar, while Oln, myself, and Cali make a detour towards his apartment? If nothing else, it should give you two some time to cool off."
Flexing his hands, Kat stretched his muscles, body ready for action should anyone still be lingering around the station.

Snipe tilted his head at Oln's mentioning of a trick
"I do not know what trick you are meaning Mando.. And as for the reasonable response game.. I was a droid who walked into the bar with no pretense of being hostile. I merely state something that made strategic sense and you go on to Bring me down because I happen to be a droid. how logical does that sound? To judge a being that has the spark of life on nothing more than his exterior plating? If I had been anything but a droid you would not have treated me with such disdain. How logical of a response is that?"
snipes eyes turn green and he seems to relax a bit
"From you I have received nothing but racist remark and disdain. Now when I show conern for leaving a person alone after an obviously planned attack I get treated like I had a part in it. Would you in my circumstance treat that with or without hostility?"
"Statement: Indeed, I am most eager to engage in some unadulterated violence. At your command of course, Master."

Ossek shouts at both Snipe and Oln,
"Do I need to find you children a wetnurse? We have a crisis here so stop behaving like infants and start acting like adults. You don't have to like each other, but keep your comments to yourselves."
She glowers at each in turn before turning to Katjur, her voice lowering back to normal levels with a deep breath.
"That is an excellent idea. You two go now and catch us up at the hangar. You two are with me."
The last she says to Cali and Snipe. Ossek walks straight up to Cali and places a hand on her shoulder.

Road-challenged Pirates take on Hamels, Phillies
The road has not been kind to the Pirates so far in 2013.
The Pirates are 2-5 away from home and began a 10-game road swing with a 3-2 loss to the Phillies on Monday. Things won't get any easier for Pittsburgh on Tuesday against Philadelphia ace Cole Hamels in the second of a three-game series at Citizens Bank Park.
Despite their road woes, the Pirates are 7-3 over their last 10 games thanks to their recent 7-2 homestand. Manager Clint Hurdle said he likes the resiliency his club showed at home following a 2-4 West Coast trip.
"We're just doing things the game is asking us to do," Hurdle said. "We're just answering the tasks that have been thrown out there in a pretty proficient way and just keeping the game one inning at a time, one at bat at a time. They've really compartmentalized well. I like where we are from that standpoint."
Now the Pirates just need to bring that to the road.
The Phillies have won three of their last four games following a four-game losing skid. Philadelphia is 6-5 at home.
Hamels will look to continue his progression after opening the season with two poor starts. The left-hander allowed 13 runs on 16 hits over 10 2/3 innings to begin the year. He looked more like himself in his last outing, striking out eight over seven innings against the Cardinals on Thursday in a no-decision. Hamels remains winless in four starts.
"You have to be better than good," Hamels said after his last outing. "In order to win ballgames, you have to be great all the time."
Fellow lefty Jeff Locke will start for the Pirates. The organization's 2012 Minor League Pitcher of the Year, Locke is 1-1 with a 5.17 ERA. He hasn't recorded an out in the sixth inning in his previous two starts, and he has never faced the Phillies.
Pirates: Melancon, Grilli shutting the door
The Pirates are 9-0 this year when leading after seven innings, due largely to strong relief work by Mark Melancon and closer Jason Grilli.
In 11 appearances, Melancon has allowed just one run on four hits. He has 10 strikeouts against zero walks in 11 innings.
Grilli has seven saves in nine appearances, striking out 13 in eight innings. He's walked four, given up three hits and is yet to allow a run.
• Starling Marte led off Monday's game with a double, the 16th time he's reached base in 18 games at the top of the lineup. Marte is hitting .315, while getting on base at a .367 clip.
• The Pirates have gone 40 innings without committing an error. Pittsburgh's last error came in the fourth inning against the Braves on Thursday.
Phillies: Nix enjoys success off the bench
Laynce Nix has excelled as a pinch-hitter through 20 games this season, going 5-for-10 (.500) with two home runs and five RBIs in that role.
Still, Nix has more value than just pinch-hitting. He's started seven games in right field, mainly against right-handers.
"I've always felt Nix could hit if he stayed healthy and we got him some at-bats, especially against right-handed pitching," said Phillies manager Charlie Manuel. "Because when he makes contact, he hits the ball hard. He can help you. He's already helped us."
Nix had a pinch-hit RBI double on Sunday in the seventh inning against the Cardinals that tied the game at 3. Nix hit a game-winning, pinch-hit homer in the ninth inning on April 14 at Miami.
Worth noting
• Pirates shortstop Clint Barmes is 4-for-7 (.571) in his career against Hamels with two doubles, one homer and three RBIs.

#TBT In the early 90s, personal computers were still clunky and big - but the new technology was just as fascinating to girls then as the new ligthweight tablets and laptops are now!
Girl Scouts, 6 days ago
This year's top seller - our #1 for a second time in a row - is 13-year-old Najah from Springfield Gardens, who got to the top spot by selling 1,816 boxes this year!
Najah's sales secret is planning what she is going to do well ahead of time and working really hard to do her best. She sells at church, at school, at her parents' jobs, and among her family. She had to work extra hard this year, as she is currently trying to decide where she'll go to high school, and was busy with prep classes, applications, tours, and interviews.
What Najah likes about the cookie program is that it gives her an opportunity to work on her business skills, time management, and organizational skills. In fact, she likes it so much that she's decided she wants to be a businesswoman when she grows up!
Congratulations, Najah. You did a fantastic job - we are so proud of you!
Here are some links to the press Najah received:
Girl Scouts, 8 days ago
Our Corporate Cookie Connection at the Bank of America was a huge success: girls from troops 3280, 3287, 3197 and 3198 (here with Jeff Barker, NY Market President at BoA) sold 1,366 boxes of cookies - 198 alone for Operation Cookie!
Girl Scouts, 8 days ago
This year's top seller #2 is 10-year-old Danielle from Bedford Stuyvesant, who went from selling 70 boxes last year to an amazing 1,782 boxes this year!
Shortly before sales season started, Danielle learned that she is legally blind; she decided to set a high goal this year to prove her disability would not be an impediment to success. Her sales strategy included a homemade video she shared with friends and family.
What Danielle loves most about the Cookie Program is that she got to raise money for her troop and for Girl Scouts - and that it gave her a perfect opportunity to prove that nothing can hold her back!
Girl Scouts, 11 days ago
At our Corporate Cookie event on Tuesday, a brand-new troop from Crown Heights, Troop 2906, sold 444 boxes, plus an AMAZING 126 boxes for Operation Cookie! The Operation Cookie donations will be shared with service personnel, local veterans' facilities, and other potential community-based organizations like City Harvest.
The troop is working toward enough money so that their whole troop of 40 girls -- 98% of whom have never gone camping -- can visit Camp Kaufmann this summer. Good luck, girls, and congrats on a successful Corporate Cookie sale!
Girl Scouts, 11 days ago
We're down to the top three cookie sellers in New York City!
Our top seller #3 this year is 8-year-old Maddie, who has some very sensible rules: try to sell a little bit every day; and be flexible with your goals (rather than overwhelm yourself with a too-high goal from the start). With this strategy, she managed to increase her sales from 1,403 boxes last year to 1,728 boxes this year.
What Maddie loves most about the Cookie Program is that "cookies make people smile."
- ICYMI, Maddie was featured in this great article in Town & Village: http://town-village.com/2015/04/02/st-girl-scout-is-top-seller-of-cookies-in-manhattan-second-year-in-a-row/
Girl Scouts, 12 days ago
Our #4 top cookie seller this year is Olivia from the Upper East Side, who just turned 13 - happy birthday, Olivia!
Olivia sold 1,627 boxes of cookies this year - at school, in church, at her martial arts school, to neighbors, and going to as many offices as she was able to, including her parents', where she sold to her parents' coworkers by delivering a tried-and-true sales pitch. Asked what she likes most about the cookie program, Olivia says "While I love the incentives, I also like the sales process and then the recognition of doing a good job."

Cueto looks to dominate Bucs again in opener
Reds righty held Pittsburgh to one run over 18 innings early in season
The way Johnny Cueto has pitched against the Pirates this season, he's made getting taunted at PNC Park after he gave up four runs in 3 1/3 innings in last year's National League Wild Card game feel longer than eight months ago.
In two starts against the Pirates since that postseason outing Cueto wishes he could have back, the Reds right-hander has dominated. In back-to-back April starts, Cueto went nine innings in both games against the Bucs, shutting them out to go with 12 strikeouts in the first start and allowing one run on three hits in the sequel.
Cueto makes his third start against the Pirates on Tuesday in the Steel City when the two National League Central foes kick off a three-game series.
Cueto has been good against just about everyone else this year. He is in the top two in the Majors in the following categories: ERA (1.85), WHIP (0.775), complete games (three) and innings pitched (102).
As the days to the All-Star Game wind down, talk of which pitchers should not only represent their league, but get the start, heats up. And Cueto is one of the top candidates to get that honor for the National League.
Reds manager Bryan Price gave his ace a serious endorsement.
"I don't think there's any question," Price said. "He's at the top of the list for me as far as National League starters. Maybe I'm biased because I see all of his starts. What he's doing is special. I wish he had the won-loss record which would support what he's doing in every other facet of his game."
Pirates: Cumpton settling into rotation
Looking at Brandon Cumpton's string of starts since he replaced Wandy Rodriguez in the Pirates' rotation on May 26, one of the four jumps out: His outing against the Dodgers, when he got knocked around for 10 runs on 11 hits in just 3 2/3 innings.
But the rought start aside, Cumpton has provided some stability in a rotation that has dealt with a lot of turnover and injury in the last three weeks.
In his other three starts after taking Rodriguez's rotation spot, Cumpton has gone at least five innings and not allowed more than three runs. This includes his last outing, when he limited the Cubs to two runs on five hits in five frames. Cumpton also pitched five or more innings and gave up three earned runs or fewer in all five starts he made in the 2013 season.
Cumpton will also try to continue a recent trend of strong appearances by Bucs' starters. In three weekend starts against the Marlins, the trio of Jeff Locke, Charlie Morton and Vance Worley combined to pitch 22 innings, give up four runs and 17 hits and strike out 18 against three walks.
Conversely, the Pirates' bullpen was charged with 11 of the 15 runs the Marlins scored in the series.
Reds: Cingrani makes first relief appearance
Tony Cingrani took the mound much later than he's been used to on Sunday, making his first showing out of the Reds bullpen this season.
Cingrani was recently shifted to a reliever role as Mat Latos rejoined Cincinnati's rotation. Cingrani pitched a scoreless eighth and ninth against the Brewers in what turned out to be a lopsided win -- his first relief appearance since June 28, 2013.
The left-hander struggled as a starter this season, going 2-7 with a 4.68 ERA and 1.525 WHIP in 11 appearances. Price knows Cingrani can be used as a long reliever, but said he will not be afraid to turn to him for key, late-inning outs.
"If we get into these closer games down at the end, I wouldn't be reluctant to use Tony in a high leverage situation by any means," Price said. "The key to having success is having seven guys in your bullpen you're comfortable using in those tight situations."
Worth noting
• Pirates left fielder Starling Marte has found his stroke after an 0-for-23 slump had him on the bench earlier this month. Hitting in the No. 2 hole, Marte went 7-for-16 in three weekend games against the Marlins, raising his season average to .261.
• The upcoming series against the Reds continues a stretch of 13 out of 16 games against divisional opponents for the Pirates. The Bucs are 4-3 during that span and are 2-5 against the Reds this season.

High hopes fall hard. We don't always get what we want even when we:
- Work hard
- Plan ahead
- Get good grades or evaluations
- Know the right people
- Play by the rules
That's because careers are about competition. Our success comes from meeting our employer's expectations better than someone else would.
Disappointments are about us.
We get disappointed when our career expectations aren't met.
Each disappointment is a personal lesson about:
- The practicality of our choices
- Our understanding of how decisions are made
- The way we stack up with others
- How realistic we are about our value
- The way we come across
- What our companies want
Instead of moaning when things don't work out the way we want them to, we should be figuring out why and adjusting our expectations.
Our career disappointments often start early, offering clues to unrealistic or misguided expectations that provide important lessons going forward.
Ask yourself what you learned about yourself when you:
- Didn't get accepted to your college of choice and had to settle
- Didn't get that "perfect" summer job or internship
- Got lower grades in your major than you thought you would
- Rarely got a second job interview, thinking you were the perfect candidate
- Only got offers for entry level jobs that didn't pay well
- Attended all company training programs but never got promoted
- Saw coworkers progress faster than you did
- Were among the first to be let go during a downsizing
Time to get real
Business takes no prisoners. It's a bottom line, get done, show-me-what-you've- got, survival enterprise. There's no time for coddling.
Employees with disappointed expectations need to hit their reset buttons and develop new strategies for managing their careers.
Recalibrate your expectations.
- Start by taking a hard look at yourself and the choices you've made. Assess what's working and what isn't. Ask, "Why?"
- Reexamine your career goals and recalibrate them based on workplace realities. Consider whether to stay, go, or change.
- Force yourself to see things as they are, rather than how you'd like them to be. Avoid taking a sugar-coated view of what's going on around you.
- Take a hard look at yourself, your value, your contributions, your effort, and your relationships. Fix what's off.
- Examine each disappointment against your career goals and plans. Extract lessons from each and commit to your next steps.
It's exhilarating to have high expectations, but it's self-defeating to have unrealistic ones.
Part of the career journey is to explore options, test ourselves, and try new things. Disappointment comes with the territory.
We risk getting ourselves in a pickle when we:
- Let others push us in a direction we suspect doesn't fit
- Try to live up to someone else's expectations for us
- Convince ourselves that we're exceptional when we haven't proven that yet
- Make career choices on limited or faulty information/perceptions
When we let these things happen, we set ourselves up for disappointment.
Commit to the ride.
It would be nice if career success were linear. Most of the time, it isn't. There are many starts and stops along the way.
We see people pass us by on their merry way up. Some can't understand why we're still floundering. Our parents and friends may seem disappointed for us, especially when they think we're down. But disappointment will come their way too.
When you manage your expectations, you also keep your disappointments in perspective. Some of us learn lessons quicker than others. Some of us make our strides faster than others.
You may need to switch direction, endure frustrations, bide your time, or start over. Everyone gets where they're headed if they keep moving. When we stop, we allow ourselves to be beaten. Expect what makes sense and use it to fuel your trip. Then chalk up disappointment as a mere bump in the road.

Brussels Roi Baudoin Stadion.
10 June 2005
Brussels Roi Baudoin Stadion.
Woke up in free fall to the sound of the phone ringing. Bonjour Monsieur, jus to let you know zat zer normal check out time is twelf noon. Thank you, I grunt, As soon as I re-enter normality Ill be sure to check out at twelve. I had to get up anyway, as the band were due in for soundcheck and further rehearsal at 2pm, so wed arranged a 1.30 runner van to pick us up. This wouldnt get us in till gone two, but I felt reasonably confident that it would be a soft two as we say in the trade. Besides, the first half hour or so it always sound noodling, so I dont often hear my name called for an hour after the arrival of the posse.
Smasher, Bruce and I were a pretty sorry sight, but it felt good to have got through so much last night. Maybe this two day production rehearsal concept has something going for it. This past week has been absolutely brutal but in the usual run of things this pain would go on for another three weeks, whereas now were through it and back on tour.
The band was in great form and the mood was well up, which was very encouraging. Soundcheck segued into rehearsal and we took a run at Zoo Station, Love and Peace or Else and Vertigo, to make sure that all the alterations we made last night are going to work. Its tough for U2 to play with no audience, but it was time well spent and Im pretty happy with how the changes have turned out.
Finally, the gates were opened and in came the great, unwashed public. I love this moment, despite it feeling like an invasion. The first 10% of the crowd into the building are always so fired up, staking their claims at points along the barricade and especially at a first show trying to figure out where the best vantage points might be. The huge steel back wall was glistening in the afternoon sunshine and the whole production really did look pretty magnificent, even if I do say so myself.
I got a radio call that Bono wanted a chat in catering at 5pm so wandered up there. Bruce joined me, then subsequently Bono. We sat there at one of the large communal tables in the catering tent with the buzz of activity going on around. We took a little while to go through the set list and make sure we all knew what we were doing, then from there conversation took a couple of tangents, meandering on to talking about life in general. Bono was incredibly relaxed for an opening night and it was really very pleasant to sit and chat as if we were down the pub, whilst the place filled up with crew having dinner.
The Thrills opened the show then Snow Patrol followed, rounding out the all-Irish bill. I was tucked away at the mix position adding in last minute alterations and updates and generally getting myself focused on the task ahead. The first run at a new show always requires enormous concentration, but this time we had the new and interesting complication of having to un-learn the associations these songs have with the Vertigo indoor staging.
Zero hour finally arrived and out they came. The plan was to open with a no frills rock assault whilst it was still light out and the crowd responded most enthusiastically. Theres nothing like the power of a stadium-full of people just going off. The response for Elevation particularly was fantastic. I had a pretty good show, with Smasher and I flying by the seat of our pants to run all the new video elements. Bruce had a bit of a rough ride, as the follow spots and lighting on the towers out in the field were running on a local generator which didnt make the grade. Given that this constitutes the sum total of front light for the entire show to have them fail is a not insignificant issue and they managed to lose power three times during the gig. Fortunately two of these were before it was properly dark but even so it was not a happy moment in rock.
Ash, our programmer, had done a couple of software updates to the control system (which he single-handedly designed and wrote the computer code for) and some glitches had appeared as a result, which we didnt spot till odd things happened with the playback. The Julian Opie Walking Man image made an odd jump-cut and walked off the screen early, and I realised that similar things would happen during the new Zoo Station visuals with more disastrous results. I got Ash on the case who figured out a new software update to solve the glitch which he wrote during the show and installed into the system computers during the first encore break. Im pretty good at staying calm during show crises, but such full on mid-show brain surgery got a raised eyebrow even from me. Cutting edge? We are just making it up as we go along out here.
It was a great show. Extraordinarily so. I dont mean to sound surprised, but out of nowhere we seem to have spawned a monster. To be honest Ive so loved the indoor show that, on a visual level, I couldnt help but feel that the stadium version would end up being the poor relation. Now its clear that this is absolutely not going to be the case. This actually looks like it stands a chance of becoming the greater of the two, which would be a great and glorious result. Its so clean, cool I dont know. Ill think of the words eventually.
After the show the band had some TV interviews to do (are they mad?) so everyone stuck around, giving the rest of us non-load-out types the chance to drink ourselves into a stupor. Eventually made it back to the hotel, where Martin Wroe (famed U2.com correspondent) and I went out for a walk looking for frites and mayonnaise. Weve moved to the band hotel now, which is in the newer part of town, is more up-market and not a place were frites vendors stalk the streets at 2am, apparently. We walked and walked and it was very nice to take the air and have a bit of quiet, but eventually I got a little turned around. This I knew was perhaps more of a crisis than usual as Martin is one of the few members of our species blessed with a worse sense of direction than my own. There we were, in Brussels, in the middle of the night, fresh from our gig triumph and totally lost. Hey ho. Mercifully, before long the word CONRAD appeared in the night sky so we headed towards it only to find that everyone else was now in the bar, happily drinking and stuffing their faces with fries and mayo.
All were clearly delighted with the nights show. Edge and I just giggled at each other to have pulled off something we perhaps didnt entirely deserve. It was great, I enjoyed the moment, this afterglow. So tired, but its easy to keep coasting now. The room began to thin out at 4 or so, but I didnt get out of there till the hotel staff kicked us out and locked the door at 5.30am. I, of course, being the only person present for whom this would be a comparatively early night.

The man who fell into the Crater Lake caldera in July has returned home to New York after weeks of care at the Rogue Valley Medical Center.
27-year-old Eric Brimlow of Syracuse slipped and fell head-first around 300 feet into the caldera on July 11. He was taken to hospital in critical condition after a six hour rescue by as many as 49 park employees.
Brimlow's family says he has made great progress after therapy to regain mobility, balance and speech, but he still faces many challenges as he continues his recovery.

Very Men in Blackish but better looking I supposed. This doesn't have to do with the PD series from Hellboy does it?
Machinima has posted the first trailer for R.I.P.D. The Dark Horse Comic turned motion picture arrives this July. It looks to be an interesting mix of Men In Black and Dead Heat.
The Plot: Jeff Bridges and Ryan Reynolds headline the 3D supernatural action-adventure R.I.P.D. as two cops dispatched by the otherworldly Rest In Peace Department to protect and serve the living from an increasingly destructive array of souls who refuse to move peacefully to the other side.
R.I.P.D. features Jeff Bridges, Ryan Reynolds, Kevin Bacon, Mary-Louise Parker, Stephanie Szostak, Robert Knepper, James Hong, Marisa Miller, Mike O'Malley, and Devin Ratray.
R.I.P.D. arrives July 19th, 2013 from Universal Pictures.
Very Men in Blackish but better looking I supposed. This doesn't have to do with the PD series from Hellboy does it?
You know that God has a sense of humor when Ryan Reynolds dies and comes back to look like James Hong. It been better if Kurt Russell was Jeff Bridges Earth's alter ego instead so we can have that "Big Trouble in Little China" buddy pic moment.
While I haven't read the comic R.I.P.D., I have been aware of it for years so I really can't make a comment about it other than Bridges seems to be having fun in his role while Reynolds is probably saying, "Please be better than Green Lantern." Serves you right for being a mess since Blade: Trinity and the single reason why I can barely tolerate the 3rd film because I been wanting to strangle Reynolds ever since.
Now if only he have the sense to walk away from the Highlander reboot. Trying to make it interesting again since the end of the tv series, not to put it in further abortion like Highlander: The Source did.
I'd call this D.O.A. Because it just looks too much like a MiB knock-off.
I thought MIB too.
I loved the first and last MIB. I think this one has a sense of the first with all the comical action. Outside of appearing like an MIB clone I think it looks like a lot of fun..
I was checking that release date and it's a crowded weekend but I'm sure I'll make time for it
Raith pretty much said my feelings exactly.
It looks well done for a supernatural MIB clone but I'm not sure if I want to see it in a theater. I'm leaning towards it because it will probably be silly fun with Bridges in it, not because I think it will be innovative and well executed.
As lame as it looks, remeber the lamest part: This is what we got instead of Deadpool. Thanks, thanks a bunch.

Which I am interested in using, obviously .
Heretics of Potential Wanted
False Prophets - Forum Black Crusade Estimated Members Requested: 5 Introduction Greetings everyone! As the game system should probably tell you, this is an adventure utilizing the rules and setting put forth in the Black Crusades core rulebook. The section players will be applying for is actually the module presented in the back of the book, though I intend to take it further with direction from the players and their writings. Applicants for this section will have the option of backing out or continuing on depending on how they like the story and style. I will rerecruit at a later date if required to do so. As a game, I want this to be fun yet dark in keeping with the subject matter and I am really looking forward to looking over applications and seeing this get off the ground. Above all I want everyone to keep in mind this is a learning opportunity. I have not GMed this ruleset before though I am extremely familiar with the setting and have run games in all three of the other FFG core books. I will try to teach as much as I am sure I will be taught. Over the course of this Ad I am going to cover these areas but will monitor this thread daily for other questions, concerns, and comments.
Applications As far as applications go I am more concerned with an applicants ability to write than actual knowledge of the rules. It is to this end that I am going to request that not a single one of you actually roll up an entire character sheet yet. Instead, I would like you to "flesh out" your character first and you can do this by declaring your characters name, race, desired alignment, and Archetype; and by tackling these categories in a minimum 200 word summaries:
You may use whatever format you desire just keep it neat, please. All applications must be submitted in this thread by October 25, 2012. How many players are you looking for?I will keep a running list of what has already been submitted and reviewed in the OP. FAQ 4 to 5 Are there any restrictions on Archetypes or Races? All Races and Archetypes are available, but I will only take a maximum of TWO Chaos Space Marines. What do I need to submit an application? All that is required is that you own a copy of the Black Crusade rulebook and be able to meet posting requirements. What are your posting requirements? Players will be required to post 3 to 5 times a week Monday thru Friday in non-combat situations. Combat moves to once a day Monday thru friday until the scene is resolved. Will you allow the use of material from supplements? If there are any, some will be allowed on a case by case basis. Supplemental material will be mostly restricted to smaller changes as I do not have access to the books so all of the information will have to be quoted to me. What level do the characters start at? Level 1. Chaos Space Marines will receive the standard starting XP of 500 to spend. Humans will receive 1000. Can I use a character from another FFG40k ruleset? Yes, you may. There are rules for conversion in the Black Crusade core rulebook. I will handle this on a case by case basis as well. If you had to admit one obnoxious thing about your GMing style, what would it be? I have taken part in PbP for a while now and I am a stickler for posting format. I find that it speeds up the game and once everyone gets used to it, it makes the game much more enjoyable and reader friendly. Setting The setting for this adventure will be the Screaming Vortex as presented in the book. If players decide to stay on afterwards we can all work together to figure out where we want to go from there. Otherwise I will probably move to the Koronus Expanse or more likely, the Calixis Sector. The following Acts will most likely see the characters in control of their own starship as per the Rogue Trader rules with a Chaotic twist. I intend on opening up the Imperium and surrounding territories to players once the Prologue concludes. About Me My name is Addison and I am currently playing in two other games and running another here on MythWeavers. I enjoy the 40k Universe immensely and have consumed most of what Black Library has to offer as far as reading material goes. Once upon a time back when I had money, I played 40k tabletop and had a lot of fun with that as well. Nowdays I find myself more closely involved in role-playing; quite often as the GM. As a GM I try to let fairness and an open mind reign supreme. I'm always open to suggestions and believe that we can always improve. I am particularly excited about this ruleset as it is the most different from anything FFG has put out so far in the 40k Universe and deals with some really interesting subject matter. Daemon weapons have been a curiosity of mine since Dark Heresy came out. Another thing I am really interested in is the introduction Rituals. Back when WHFRP came out, Rituals were one of the more interesting additions and I cannot wait to see how they tie in to 40k. As a writer I find that my style differs depending on the situation. If a group is in combat my writing becomes less descriptive and faster paced. The world of violence goes by in a flash and I try to tie that in. Whenever the characters are involved in non-combat situations I really strive to bring the world of 40k alive for the players. It's dark, dirty, and oppressive normally. This ruleset is still dark and dirty, but it lifts some of the oppression. I am really looking forward to taking a swing at it. As always, here to answer any questions or comments. I look forward to reading everyone's applications! Submitted Concepts

Heh, looks like my application format is popular, though you might want to scale your image down to be less wide (so that the paragraphs within the spoiler buttons are wider and less annoying to read). |

Or standardize the XP, which means basic archtypes would have more than 500/1000 to play with. |
