It's hard to think about Tammy Faye Bakker without snickering at least a little bit. There's the caked-on makeup. The tattooed eyebrows. The mawkish televangelism and puppet ministries. The juicy scandals and the teary, mascara-streaking confessionals.
But Minnesota's great queen of camp — Tammy Faye LaValley was born in International Falls and attended North Central Bible College in Elliot Park (now called North Central University) — had her noble qualities, too. She was an early and radical advocate for the acceptance of gays in the Evangelical church. She featured people who had AIDS on her popular television show, The PTL Club, in the early 1980s, when the disease was still branding sufferers as untouchables. By the time she died, in 2007, from colon cancer, Tammy Faye had earned a worshipful place in the GLBT canon, memorialized in countless drag shows and well-received documentaries.
The fairy-tale ascent to fame, the epic fall from grace, and the exoneration at the end: Tammy Faye was a living, breathing vaudeville character, right down to the garish costumes and the singing career.
So when new Loring Theater heads Paul Anderton and Steve Barberio learned of her connection to their playhouse — Tammy Faye married her soon-to-be-felonious sweetheart Jim Bakker in the building's basement, on April 1, 1961, when the building was owned by the Evangelical Association — it was like a gift from the drama gods.
"When we heard that they got married here, we said, 'We should celebrate,'" said Barberio.
As members of a group called the Directors, Barberio and Anderton had just taken creative control of the stagnating Music Box Theater. Last December, they changed its name back to its historic moniker, the Loring Theater, and set out to return the venue to its vaudeville, variety show roots.
Now they had the perfect event for season one of their revivalist campaign: a 50th wedding anniversary party for the Bakkers, packed to the gills with kitsch and slated for April Fool's Day. On April 1, the Loring presents "Where Tammy Tied the Knot," an extravagant ode to the Madonna of makeup.
"It ties in beautifully with what we're doing reviving the Loring Theater," said Anderton. "It's this heritage angle. That's really the story, and it's a romantic one."
The night is part tongue-in-cheek, part scholarly homage. The Directors plan to screen "The Eyes of Tammy Faye," a documentary about Tammy's life narrated by drag icon RuPaul Charles. A brief symposium will follow, with speakers from the academic and gay communities discussing Tammy Faye's role as cultural icon. Then, a 1960s wedding-themed dance party happens in the theater's lobby and on stage.
Period dress is encouraged — guests can get a 20 percent discount at Via's Vintage if they mention Tammy's name — and Barberio said plans are in the works to provide fake eyelash applications to both men and women revelers. He also hopes to have costumed characters (ushers, bridesmaids) helping with the festivities. Wanda Wisdom, the drag alter ego of Lavender Magazine contributor Brad Traynor, will preside over a bouquet toss from the theater's balcony.
But for all the kitsch, both Barberio and Anderton are approaching the night with sweet, earnest compassion.
"I didn't realize how committed she was to gay rights and to building awareness about AIDS," Barberio said. "This is not a skewering."
"Where Tammy Tied the Knot"
Full package, including documentary screening and symposium: $25
Wedding party only: $15

Route 66 "The Mother Road"

Joined: Oct 2008

Route 66 Continued
Hello everyone, I'm back on the Mother Road! Left Arkansas and headed to Santa Rosa, NM where I had stopped on my last ride. As I was zipping through Texas I noted a sign so I pulled in and got a picture of it. I missed this on my last report somehow.
644 miles later I arrive in Santa Rosa, NM and get a room at Motel 6 and crashed. Long boring day on the interstate. Tomorrow should be much better.
I woke to a bright and sunny day and promptly hit the route.
Saw a lot of closed diners and old service stations today, sad to say the least.
This old gas station was not a "Trading Company" I didn't stop to see what they were selling.
I could not believe all the Volcanic rock I was seeming in NM
I looked up some information on it. Pretty interesting.
It seems that each of the Southwestern states has an apparent geologic specialty. If so, and Arizona is the big Canyon state, Utah is the Mesozoic fauna state, and Colorado is the big snow-capped Rocky Mountains state, then what is New Mexico? New Mexicans need only look out their windows for the answer: New Mexico is the Volcano state. New Mexico has one of the greatest concentrations of young, well-exposed, and uneroded volcanoes on the continent. And as a bonus, it is also the Rift Valley state; it has one of only four or five big continental rifts in the world, East Africa being one of the other ones. The fact is, New Mexico is one of the best places to study the natural history of volcanoes. Twenty percent of the U.S. National Parks and Monuments based on volcanic themes are in New Mexico. There are more here than Arizona, Idaho, Oregon, and Washington combined.
These guys
Blakes Lotaburger
kind of look like an old diner but they are actually a chain out of Albuquerque with over 83 locations!
Interesting tunnel on the route.
Not too long after that I hit Arizona.
By now it's getting late in the day so when I hit Holbrook, AZ. I notice a waypoint for the
Wigwam Motel
I had to stay here tonight, this looked like too much fun to pass up.
They had an old classic car parked by most of the Wigwams, or Tepees as I like to call them. Here is a very short video of what they look like inside.
I walked down the street a block from the hotel and find this
Slept real good that night even though they had a bunch of trains running behind the motel all night. Seems they have a big switch yard here.
Next day I hit Winslow, AZ and "Stand'n on the Corner" as the song goes I take my obligatory photo of Earl's Motel.
An old service station that is now a salon.
I hit Seligman, AZ and they had a lot of shops catering to the Route 66 motif
I pushed on toward Flagstaff and then hit Kingman around one o'clock. Unfortunately, the wind had gotten so strong and was gusting to around 45-50 knots I was just played out. As I pulled into get a drink I had the misfortune to see a truck pulling a horse trailer pull right in front of another motorcyclist. Found out he lost his life too. I figured I had gone far enough for now and after a short rest and some food I decided to abort the rest of the trip and headed back home. At any rate. I hope you find this report to be of interest, the west has a lot of distance between towns in some cases and I ended up riding 2700 miles in five days by the time I got back home.
Was fun I stayed dry if not beat up by the high winds. Till next time. Ride safe my friends.

DARPA seeks technology to support declassification
Friday - 9/24/2010, 2:46pm EDT
The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency is inviting researchers to submit innovative approaches to declassification, according to the FAS Project on Government Secrecy.
Technology could play a big role in the separate steps in the declassification process: the collection and assembly of records for review, the circulation of records to reviewers, the actual review and redaction process, and the distribution of declassified records.
Perhaps the greatest advantage of technology is to determine how records are classified now in order to expedite declassification in the future.

Scott Hendler, a lawyer in Austin, Texas, has another theory: He suspects the company pulled out of Latin America for fear of litigation. In 1996 he sued Fuller on behalf of the family of a Guatemalan child who died, allegedly as a result of glue addiction; the suit was dismissed after a judge found that it should be tried in Guatemala. Hendler says he is involved in "very serious discussions" about additional lawsuits.
All that said, Fuller's silent turnaround still seems surprising. After years of controversy, why not make a big public-relations splash trumpeting a humanitarian business move?
"One element that comes into play is that H.B. Fuller doesn't sell to the general public," offers Paul Maccabee, president of the Maccabee Group, a Minneapolis public-relations agency that has never done business with Fuller. "Ninety-nine percent of the Twin Cities public is completely ignorant of H.B. Fuller's conflicts and controversies." In such a situation, Maccabee surmises, it might be wise for a company to avoid stirring up new strife with a high-profile announcement.
Besides, Maccabee points out, when activists have fought a large corporation, "usually it's the advocacy group that goes to the media and says, 'We've won!'" Harris did send out a press release after learning of Fuller's policy change from Harper's. But attorney Hendler is still skeptical. "I don't think anything they say is gospel until I have independent validation," he says, disputing the company's statement that it hasn't sold solvent-based Resistol shoe glues in Honduras and Guatemala since 1992. "We checked it. They were available at least two to three years after that on store shelves," Hendler says. "They're masters of misinformation."
Harris says he's pleased with Fuller's decision, but years of battling the company--and taking care of addicted kids--make him cautious. He says he has written to Groff to ask whether Fuller will be licensing its solvent-based technology to other companies that might sell the glue in Latin America. (Groff says it won't.) He also plans to watch and see whether Resistol truly disappears from the streets when current supplies run out, something Fuller says should happen in a few months.
Until then, Harris says, he's not comfortable congratulating his longtime adversary. "They could have done this five years ago and saved all this mud that is now associated with their name," he declares. "I just don't trust them."

ATLANTA - DECEMBER 06: Michael Vick #7 of the Philadelphia Eagles looks on from the sidelines during their 34-7 win over the Atlanta Falcons at Georgia Dome on December 6, 2009 in Atlanta, Georgia. (Photo by Kevin C. Cox/Getty Images)
Eagles head coach Andy Reid said that quarterback Michael Vick hasn't been cleared to practice as he did not pass his concussion test, per Jeff McClane. Vick has been in the final phases of the concussion protocol for the past two weeks, according to the Eagles. The Eagles have already stated that Nick Foles will remain the team's starting quarterback for the remainder of the season, so it's not as though they need to rush him back for the coming weeks. With Vick almost certainly out for Sunday's game against the Buccaneers, Trent Edwards will likely backup Foles.

Recent Merrimack Valley reviews
"My family stayed here for several nights this October. We had a wonderful time. Even my 2 year old loved it, and thought it was his own home! The small bedroom off the main bedroom was perfect for him, and his first time in a big bed, and he LOVED it! Everything was so comfortable and beautiful. The property was filled with beautiful fall colored leaves, everything was picturesque wherever you looked. Conveniently located 15 mins to the Tilton outlets (which "conveniently" we needed to stop at) and 15 mins to Concord in the other direction. But we just loved relaxing and playing in the yard. What made it even nicer was the most hospitable hostess Tori. She left us a sweet Fall/Halloween greeting, along with an even sweeter little Halloween treat for our son. I'd highly recommend staying here!"Guest: Erin Date of Stay: October 2014 Review Submitted: October 31, 2014View listing
"I hesitated to write a review as I wanted to keep this place all to myself and didn't want to give away this hidden gem, but the owner was so wonderful, I just have to share my experiences with this piece of heaven. The property is as described. It is a simple cabin which is clean, comfortable, and well maintained. The owner was flexible and even met with me before the visit so that I could view the cabin to see that it would suit my needs. The owner was always available if I had any questions and graciously shared vast knowledge of history of the area. The lake is pristine. The area just beautiful. There are several other lakes nearby to explore, but once you experience Rocky Pond, they all pale in comparison. There is a public boat put-in which abuts the camp, as the owner notes, at which you will see traffic -- mostly on the weekend, but as a solitary traveler, it kept me in contact with the world and I did not mind it at all. You will find yourself in the middle of the woods overlooking a gorgeous pond, yet downtown Hollis is just a few minutes away with grocery, farm stands, small restaurants, etc. You can even find a Walmart within 6 miles if you really need it. The cabin is well equipped with utensils you need for meals and prep. Wood was provided for fire in the stove on cool nights. Beaver Brook Association, located in Hollis, maintains a wonderful trail system which is well marked and well maintained for anything from a short, easy walk, to more challenging hiking experiences. The office is open during the week and they are very helpful if you need information finding trails to suit your needs and maps are left available for you at the main office when they are not open. If you love the woods, love peace and quiet and getting away from it all, and want to spend your days hiking, kayaking, canoeing, swimming, and peacefully relaxing at a clean sandy beach, this is the place for you. This camp is a place where you can re-connect with yourself, family, friends and other loved ones, without the distraction of today's world while basking in the more simple pleasures of life. I spent a week at this glorious location and I loved it so much that before I left, I booked a return visit for next summer at the owner's larger camp so that I can return and share this Shangri-La with those I love."Guest: Michele L.

"I love this cottage! It may look small on the outside but it's magical on the inside. It's the kind of cottage where you feel like you can kick your feet up and feel right at home. It has a wonderful rustic decor and every time I looked around, there was something new I had missed the first time. The best place of all is sitting on the comfy love seat with the big pillows right in front of the gas fireplace. There is wifi and over 900 channels as well. The owner, Stephan, is very nice to deal with and he made sure the cottage was warm and well lighted before my arrival. I definitely want to go back soon. I highly recommend this adorable cottage for anyone looking for a wonderful getaway in the winter. Also, it must be spectacular in the summer as it's right on the water. Thank you, Stephan."Guest: Celeste C. Date of Stay: February 2015 Review Submitted: February 9, 2015View listing

Beautiful Merrimack Valley, New Hampshire
Merrimack Valley is best reached by Highway 3 if you are coming out of Massachusetts and the Boston area. There is not a direct interstate running through New Hampshire from east to west, so a lot of little roads must take you to Merrimack if you elect not to come through Massachusetts. Merrimack Valley runs along the Merrimack River so the drive along Highway 3 will be a beautiful and scenic one.

Mikael Mandon's progress at Sunderland is being celebrated on Wearside.
The Journal says Mandon pitched up on Wearside in 2011 from French minor league club Boulogne after impressing in a trail game with all the physical attributes to be a success.
He was 6ft 1ins and growing – he is now two inches taller – and had technique and poise too.
But life was difficult at first, despite the young Frenchman having British ancestry (he can play for England and Scotland by virtue of his grandparents). Goals weren't flowing freely and homesickness struck.
With good coaching, excellent pastoral care and a determination to stick at it, the player is now featuring in the reserves and around the fringes of the senior side.

Remember: Doris Wollam shares details about photo of Bonita School
Thanks to Doris Ruth Wollam, we now know a little more about that photograph of a group of Bonita School students from the 1940s. In her usual helpful fashion, Wollam filled in a few of the blanks, including the name of the previously unidentified teacher, Mr. Grooms. She also provided some background information on several of the people pictured.
With the help of several sources, Wollam came up with a slightly different lineup of students than the one we got from Jean Strickland Hogue.
According to Wollam, the males in the back row, from left are: John Emil Hogue, Mr. Grooms, Donald Trew, Quentin Floyd, James Floyd, Keith Douglas, Alva McCardle, W.L. McSwain and Bud Ruth. In the front were Carolyn Yon, Barbara McCardle, an unidentified girl that Jean Hogue listed as Betty Hendry, Josephine Carter Hogue and Nancy Carver.
Nearest and dearest to Wollam is Bud Ruth, her "baby brother" who is 18 months younger. Wollam said her brother worked at Publix supermarkets "his entire working life," probably 50 years.
"He started working from high school as a bag boy," she said. "Then he went into the Navy and went back to Publix when he got out."
From a bag boy, Ruth worked his way up from bag boy to "big cheese" as a personnel director at the chain's Lakeland headquarters.
"He had an extremely good work ethic. We were really proud of him," said Wollam.
She also knows Don Trew quite well. Wollam said he moved her at age 6 and has always lived in Bonita Springs. Though he came from a fishing family, he worked for the power company.
"He loves to tell stories. He knows a lot of stuff," said Wollam, adding that Trew bought the old Reahard house, moved it to Pine Street, and has restored it.
"He's done a nice job on it," she noted. "And he's very active in the community."
Wollam believes that Carolyn Yon and Josephine Carter passed away from cancer. She heard that one of the Floyd boys became a hobo in New York City.
As for Wollam, she has happy memories of the school she attended from 1942 to 1948 when her family was running the Wayside Inn on what is now called Old 41.
"We moved here when I was 12," said Wollam. "It was an education for both Bud and me, understanding the culture. We were Yankees, but we had no trouble mixing in with the locals. It was a small town and people were nice."
Like her brother, Wollam had a job from early on. She changed beds and provided maid service at the inn run by her parents.
"And we walked to school," she added.
On an unrelated, but still historical note, Wollam and others attended Sunday's memorial service for Estero historian Mimi Straub, who passed away recently at the age of 100. Straub was a local treasure who founded the Estero Historical Society. She will be greatly missed.
Straub's family is requesting donations in her honor be sent to the Estero Historical Society, P.O. Box 1314, Estero, FL 33929. The society needs money to restore its 1904 schoolhouse on the grounds of the Estero Community Park.

East of Berlin
Inspired by real-life stories (from writers Peter Sichrovsky's "Born Guilty" and Dan Bar-On's "Legacy of Silence: Children of the Third Reich"), Hannah Moscovitch's involving psychological drama revolves around an SS doctor's son and his struggle to live with the knowledge of his father's crimes. Teenage Rudi (Russell Sams) grows up in Paraguay oblivious to his parent's past, until a more jaundiced classmate named Hermann (James Barry) also the son of a Nazi decides to wise him up. Profoundly disturbed, Rudi leaps into an affair with Hermann but soon decides to flee the country for Germany. There he takes on a new name and falls in love with a Jewish-American girl named Sara (Carolyn Stotes) whose mother was a Holocaust survivor. (Is this real passion, or is he just looking for a way to atone? the play asks.) For fear of losing her, he conceals his lineage a circumstance that brings his guilt into even more agonizing focus, even more so when she learns about it anyway. Effectively staged by co-directors C.B. Brown and Sara Botsford, the script's strongest and most persuasive element is Rudi's monologue, a vivid piece of storytelling that serves as the work's compelling spine. With his mien of wry detachment, Sams delivers a credible performance that nonetheless lacks the depth and nuance that make for powerful drama. Stotes is extremely appealing as his love interest, and the scenes between them are among the best. NoHo Arts Center, 11136 Magnolia Blvd., North Hollywood; Fri.-Sat., 8 p.m.; Sun., 3 p.m.; through July 19. (818) 508-7101. A co-production of NoHo Arts Center Ensemble and 49th Parallel Theater.

Farmers from the highest mountains of Southeastern Haiti overlooking the Caribbean grow coffee the way it has been done for two-hundred years - on small, family-owned farms alongside a diverse mix of shade trees, banana plants, and ground crops. Women cheerfully process and sort the coffee and load up the best grades for export on the colorful "Tap Tap" trucks to be delivered to the shipyards of Port Au Prince.
The resulting elegant, velvety-smooth coffee is a perfect example of what we mean by a culinary coffee and stands as a testimony to the abiding smallholder Haitian farmers with whom we are excited to have this historic partnership.

I love adventure games
In chronological order of release.
These are my favourite adventure games I have played and completed.
There are many classics missing that I certainly intend to play.
This one captured my imagination far more than the original.
I played this so often as a kid - never enjoyed the ending of the game though.
Clever control interface, fun for those who are musically inclined. A bit too short.
Set the benchmark. Infinitely replayable.
An improvement on every aspect of the original, and easily one of the finest games in the adventure genre.
Very easy game, no real puzzle solving, but a very enjoyable story experience.
Loved the sequence where you go back to Space Quest I and the graphical style changes. Hated the mall sequence!
Out of all the KQ games, this is the one that's always stuck with me. Beautiful and epic.
It's been said many times: this should have been the fourth Indiana Jones movie! This game is pure wonderful, and captures the Indy vibe exactly. Clever puzzles.
The thing that's always stuck with me about this game is how gorgeous all the backgrounds and objects are.
A change of style for LucasArts, but no less enjoyable. Very good story, unfortunately confusing puzzles.
Unbelievably epic in scope.
Very true to the spirit of the originals. Enjoyable and cleverly designed.

I purchased this shirt for my grandson because I wanted him to eventually be able to spell Detroit. He is currently only 14 months old, so it may be awhile before he will be able to wear it, and have it fit, but my daughter will be filling the gap and the shirt by wearing it until her son is old enough to either spell Detroit or sneak it away from her because she really loves it and would hate to give it up.The fact that the colors are also the colors of the Detroit Tigers is a plus. Go Tigers! I figure everyone needs someone and/or something to look forward to and be proud of in there life, and Detroit, the Tigers, this shirt, and knowing how to spell Detroit are four things, which one can be proud of through the wearing and sharing of this shirt. It looks good. It is comfortable. And the word Detroit is spelled correctly, unless you are looking in a mirror to see how cool you look wearing it.

Proactive Acne Treatment – Good To Worse !!!! 5 YEARS Experience! MUST READ
Hi there, i am 23/Male...this review is exactly according to the experience I have had with proactive Acne treatment kit... I Have started proactive when I was around 18 years , a teenager. I have Mild acne and few Bumps occasionally, but otherwise a Smooth skin. I ordered proactive once I saw a commercial on television. I saw it when it was NOT that popular in India and I trusted it paying Rs 2495 for a supply of 2 months.
I used it and discovered that this product did some miracles to my skin transforming it to a glowing one in just 1 month. I then continued this product till I was 21 years. Then I was a bit worried about the amount of price they started charging for the Proactive kit which was now of 3495 Rs a supply a 2 months. I trusted the experience i had and continued it with the price hiked.
Suddenly I realised, the product has STOPPED working for me when it comes to preventing New ACNE from coming. Earlier i thought it may be something related to the weather, but since then it had all gone wrong for me.
I kept on ordering the product in a hope that it would give me those earlier results, but that is when I felt I am just WASTING my money over the product. Till I turned 23, it had been 5 years since I have started proactive, and the last 2 years experience has been Bizarre.
Currently I am at almost the end of the supply and I am NOT even thinking of ordering it again wasting my Money more then what it deserves. Right now my Skin have OPEN PORES , Roughness , Acne marks , Uneven skin tone , and of course ACNE.
It doesn't seem I have ever had a good skin and Ever Used a Proactive, whereas i have used it for around 5 years and still using it waiting for the Supply to END.
I suggest people NOT to go for proactive and it would make your skin a WARZONE with chemicals fighting and even worsening your skin. Once the earlier results might be Good, but remember, ANYTHING INSTANT HAVE SIDE-EFFECTS LATER !!!
I suffered so I am Just warning You people to Think before you Order it , as It is As effective as Normal Skincare Products in the Market , so why Paying 5-6 Thousand rupees for such a Crap!!!
I would Like to suggest people to for other Mild product rather than going for Proactive solutions , as it Would be very difficult for you to cope with the after-effects once you STOP using it , considering the price Level it is Reaching to , as well as Many UNHAPPY users QUESTIONING its side-effects and NON-EFFECTIVENESS..!!
If you would Tell about this to their Helpline, they would Just questing you about you Way of USING the kit. I have been Using it since 5 YEARS and i Don't think i am a FOOL!! NOT using it properly since Such a Long time and that too when earlier i had effective results of the product. They just do it to HIDE their FAULTS of the Product. And then they will Insist you to BUY Various other product of PROACTIVE so to GET GOOD RESULTS..!! I just want to as you , if your 3 STEP sysem is NOMORE effective , what would other products do..???????????????
Complete Money waste , and will Ruin your SKIN on LONGTERM...!!
That's all from me, a Genuine experience from starting Proactive 5 YERAS ago Till Today's Date...
Do not ever use Proactiv. They are crooks. I had called to cancel my order and was told that I didn't need to cancel my account, they would pause it and I could reactivate it any time. Then, unbeknownst to me, they send me a package I had never requested. When I called to complain, they expected me to send it back at my own cost. After demanding a return shipping label and never getting my refund (months later!), I called to demand my refund and was informed I would never get the shipping charge refunded. I NEVER ORDERED ANYTHING!! Don't ever do business with these thieves.
After suffering from minor acne at the age of 15 i turned to proactic. I found that it made my skin vreak out more and made fine lines and very uneven skin tone. 1 year late i still suffer breakouts. I used the proactiv repairing treatment (step3) after 15 minutes of painful burning i washed it off my face to find where i had apolied the treatment there were very visible burns on my face. I am so upset and cannot sress enough how bad this product is for your skin. Its money spent for burns and a face full of blemishes. I wish i could post a photo so people could see how bad the burns are.
ok... their website sucks. Fort some reasons, sometime, you just can't order online. They tell you to call them to "work on the issue"... forget that... they just give you all kind of bogus reason to force you to order by phone (I guess the telephonist get a commission).
The problem is NONE of the order by telephone are right. all kinds of mistakes... wrong product, wrong quantities, wrong billing amount. You ask to talk to a supervisor... not trouble, they will call you in 60 min! loll what a joke... spent evening trying to explain to 2-3-4-5 different person WHAT is the issue... EASY: CAN'T order online! and I don't want to do it by phone because you always SCREW UP! well... at least the products works (when you can order/get the right one).
Product works moderately well, but their shipping method is horrible. Shipment goes "on the truck" as late as one week after it's supposed to.
I used this in my early 20's and it did cleared my skin and at some point I stopped using it (dont remember why, probably cost or i thought I didnt need it any longer) I Tried it again around age 29 and it didnt work at all. I think depending on the severity this could and clearly does work for many people but if you are dealing with a long term problem like I was you should probably try something else.
Proactiv loves to use the whole "user agreement" bullsh*t. Basically, I purchased only ONE MONTH supply of proactiv just to try it out, unpleased with my dry skin, I knew I wouldn't order again. To my suprise, I had received another package. They had charged my credit card also. As I call to try to explain to them it is unauthorised, they explain that it's part of the "user agreement" that everyone reads of course. I would have to become a member to order the product at all, but if you become a member, no matter what you buy, they ship you the product every month, and charge your credit card without a notice or reminder. You now have to go to the hassle of returning the product and dealing with their terrible customer service.
If they were really enthusiastic about their product, they wouldn't make it a necessity to pay with credit card, but PayPal.
I believe this company is about the money and seems to pay big dollars for the celebrities that advertise it.
P.s only temporarily helped my skin, as soon as you stop, you break out. Hmm... Coincidence? I think not. Don't buy unless you want dry skin, to be hassled, and experience terrible customer service.
I've been a user of this product for 5 years and the product was great. It gave me clear skin however my only complain is their customer service. Recently, I placed an order over the phone. I waited for 3 weeks and nothing came. I called and I was told that i never placed an oder. This incident happened once on my previous shipment. So ok I stretched my patience....placed an order again and was told in 2 days my products will arrive since I had it expidite. I waited for a week, no sign of my product. When I called they said my shipment was cancelled because of a failed credit card. Nobody even called me. I was wondering how could that be when I gave my new c.c info to them. I even made them verify the info to me before I hang up. Well I found out that they did not update my file and they have been using my old card thats why it failed. Now because i could not stretch my patience this time I asked for the manager....requesting to expidite my product giving them 3 days to deliver. Craig the supervisor could not help me. i was so dissapointed. my thing is why would i suffer with their incompetency. i cancelled my order anyway. Im so furious with them.
This stuff called proactive is not a good product especially for the skin, it is too harsh for the skin. I used proactive and It had me regret it my whole life, not only I wasted my money, but my skin totally dried out, darkened, and burnt. Now I'm totally dissatisfied and angry at myself for trying out something on my skin that later on would have me feeling down and shameful about myself. I do not recommand this stuff proactive to nobody else.
I've been using Proactiv on and off for about 6 years now, and I always find myself coming back to it when my skin becomes "irreparable" by other products. I've tried everything else on the market, from prescriptions to all naturals and even oils, but Proactiv always seems to do the job just a little bit better. I would definitely say Proactiv works well on certain skin types, and can increase problems in others. I would say your safest bet when trying the 3 step system is to LISTEN to the directions. DO NOT coat your face in this product. Most of the people I know who do not like Proactiv or say it does not work coat their faces in it (using too much of step 2 and 3), or scrub too harshly (seriously, do not scrub hard or use a lot of the facewash, it WILL dry your skin out if used improperly), or just overuse it (washing too frequently, using too much product), thus increasing breakouts and skin sensitivity. Use this product mildly, and give it a good two months before coming to your conclusion about it. If you feel it's not working or increasing problems, move on to something else. Just remember this product has harsh ingredients, and you need to listen to the directions and not go overboard with the system.
It works well with my skin type
Makes my skin feel clean after washing
Gives my skin an almost "matte"-like finish, very good for the makeup I use
Step 3 is an AMAZING spot treatment. if you get a gnarly zit or breakout, slap some of the BP cream on the area for a few hours / overnight and it should dry out the area and reduce the size of the breakout. My absolute favorite part of the system.
Works good on my hormonal cystic acne and adult acne
It seems to help a lot with dark marks and acne scars left behind by larger breakouts
It's very harsh when used improperly (believe me, I've been using this product for years and I've had times where I overused it and began breaking out more rather than clearing up)
It can burn, especially on open spots or sores
It isn't for everyone, but you should use the product MILDLY for AT LEAST 8 weeks before coming to your conclusion
Doesn't seem to help much with blackheads
Some of my tips for people struggling with acne:
Do not pick or pop. DO NOT. Let your face heal itself. If you do feel the need to pick or pop, MAKE SURE you get the entirety of the zit out. If you leave even a little bit of sebum in your face, that zit can come back with a vengeance. Oh, and NEVER EVER press from the side. Always pop by pushing downward. If you push from the sides / squeeze the zit, the sebum can push itself down even deeper into your skin! But honestly I would just leave your breakouts alone. They will work themselves out.
Drink a lot of water. A LOT. Not only is it good for you, but you WILL see results in your skin in just a few days if you increase your water intake.
Give products time. Do not expect results overnight. Your skin works slowly, and acne products are not magic. 3 weeks AT LEAST before deciding if a product is right for you.
Eat healthier! Sugars and dairy products can increase breakouts, be wary of them.
Avoid touching your face with unclean hands.
Sleep on a clean towel or freshly cleaned pillowcase EVERY NIGHT. Oils and sweat get trapped in the fabric and can cause breakouts.
I know acne is hard, but I promise you are all beautiful with or without it. Try not to stress too much over it. You'll get through it.

Well, Greater London does not need advertising at all. It's the capital of Europe!
You can find everything in London. History, Fashion, Food, Sport - all waiting to be explored.
Local information:
Hammersmith is located between High St Kensington and Chiswick and it is a very nice area. It has a decent night life, good variety of food shops and very reliable links to Heathrow airport, central London as well as Ealing, Richmond and Wimbledon.
There are many decent pubs along King Street and neighbouring roads but the main place to be on a summer's day is down by the river. The Old Ship is very popular as you can take your pint out onto the big grassy area. It's also a great place to watch the annual boat race. There are also plenty of very good restaurants close by. Jamie Olivier Began his career in The River cafe in Hammersmith, which continuous to be a destination for diners and booking queue is endless.
Hammersmith is the home of Carling Apollo, a major London live music venue that hosts some major international acts. Further down you have Riverside Studios, a BBC recording studio that shows experimental theatre and international films. There's also the Lyric Theatre along King Street, which always has an exciting program of classical plays and musicals.
Twice or 3 times a week, the Hammersmith Farmers Market is a delight to visit as it offers marvelous fresh and cooked food from the West Indies, China, India, Scotland and England can be bought at affordable prices. Hammersmith has the usual major chain stores like Marks&Spencer, Sainsbury's and Tesco.
Hammersmith doesn't have much in the way of parks, but being so close to the river really makes up for it. There's an excellent path along the River Thames that stretches from the city all way into Richmond. There are plenty of grassy areas along the path as well. Ravenscourt Park is the largest in the area with tennis courts, flower gardens, a children's play area and has plenty of open space.The London Wetland Centre is just across the river and has 105 acres of wetland inhabitants and over 180 bird species, with and interactive Discovery centre, children's farm-yard, art gallery, observatory activities and many events.

This question already has an answer here:
We are developing a project with three members. I am the permanent member, we hired a contractor from a company to be a team lead and one very junior coder. Now the contractor is doing the server side coding with classes and modules while the junior member and I are doing front client.
The problem we face is that the junior member and I are finding it very hard to understand the contractor's code. Our skills are not at his level and he is using all sorts of advanced function and write very concise code with very little documentation.
When we ask for help, he gets angry and says that we don't know that. I have raised this issue, but it comes out every now and then. I can understand only 50% of his code and the junior understands only 10% of it.
What should be done int his scenario? We can't force him because we need him, but its difficult for us to proceed.
What should we do?
And also every time we do our part of coding he can always pick errors and tell how to do it better. It is good, but it also means that do we have to check every line of code with him.
I was confused that if we have genius coder in team of 5 then that genius will always write better code. So does it mean that
- he needs to check code for every junior member and change it
- he leave some loopholes and ignore them
because the senior member will always have better way to do the job?

Accelerated Urgency for Every Food Company to Overhaul Food Safety Plans with New FDA Food Safety Legislation, Finds PwC
NEW YORK, Jan. 6, 2011 /PRNewswire/ — Federal food safety legislation just signed by President Obama will accelerate the urgency for many companies to examine every link in the food chain to ensure that they have adequate preventive controls in place to identify and prevent problems that may result in food-borne illnesses, according to a new report from PwC US and Leavitt Partners, entitled Point of View: FDA Food Safety Modernization Act: The President signs the most sweeping overhaul of food-safety legislation since 1938. To protect their brands, food companies will need to meet higher regulatory standards and likely need to go beyond compliance in order to win the loyalty of consumers and investors and gain competitive advantage.
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20100917/NY66894LOGO )
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) estimates that there are 48 million cases of food-borne illnesses in the US each year, resulting in 128,000 hospitalizations and over 3,000 deaths. The recent national outbreak of salmonella in eggs last year resulted in the recall of hundreds of millions of eggs. Other recent examples include tainted peanut butter, cookie dough and fresh bagged spinach that sickened hundreds of people across the country. The new bill gives the FDA expanded authority and ability to monitor the safety of the food supply, and to take quicker and more effective action against companies that don't adequately protect against food contamination.
"Today's globally extended supply chains mean that, unfortunately, contamination can turn up in more products and more often than in the past," said Carter Pate, who leads the global government and infrastructure teams at PwC. "With the new legislation, food companies at every level will be required to develop and document food safety plans that identify and prevent hazards at each facility."
The report outlines some of the significant features of the legislation, such as requirements to document identification of hazards and implementation of preventive controls and develop defensive plans aimed at preventing intentional contamination if the food is considered to be highly vulnerable. It also provides examples of leading practices that can help food companies not only comply, but go beyond the proposed rules for highly improved performance. Companies that aspire to be market leaders can start by reviewing their food safety plans, training programs and supply chains, with an eye toward making improvements.
"Heightened focus on food safety by consumers, regulators and Congress has created new challenges for the food industry that can result in erosion of a brand overnight," said David Acheson, Managing Director of Leavitt Partner's Food and Import Safety Practice. "The new food safety legislation is going to make these challenges more acute and the need for change more urgent."

I Greatly improved load times!
After spending minutes and minutes of watching loading screens i had enough. I fixed my 1 + minute load times to 4-10 seconds. And man was it the best upgrade i could ever have bought. If you have $200 bucks for a upgrade and plan on playing this game for awhile i highly suggjest this. Im sure in a week it will save you over a hour in loading time. A load time from starbase to ship is about 3 seconds. Here is the link good luck. Ill also add i know the server is slow responding at times but when it does respond it flies with this Drive. Its about 500% faster than before.

MonoSol Rx Refinances Debt Under Favorable Terms
WARREN, N.J. and PORTAGE, Ind., Dec. 14, 2010 /PRNewswire/ — MonoSol Rx, the developers of PharmFilm® technology and a drug delivery company specializing in proprietary pharmaceutical film products, announced today it secured favorable terms to refinance the company's debt with White Oak Global Advisors, LLC. Under this agreement MonoSol Rx is refinancing $20 million. Specific terms were not disclosed.
MonoSol Rx will use the funds for general corporate purposes, appropriate capital equipment investments and the advancement of its research and development programs that utilize the Company's proprietary PharmFilm® technology to formulate prescription drugs for delivery in an orally-dissolving film dosage form.
Keith J. Kendall, executive vice president and chief financial officer of MonoSol Rx, commented, "This transaction demonstrates not only the strength of the relationship between the company and one of its financial partners, White Oak Global Advisors, but more importantly the continuing financial growth and strength of MonoSol Rx. We have grown revenues at an 80% compound annual growth rate since 2005 and will continue that trend in 2011. We are an EBITDA positive company and will be cash flow and net income positive in 2011 based on our recent FDA approvals and our partners' resultant product launches.
"The refinancing of this debt, at significantly lower cost and with materially improved covenant provisions recognizes the very different financial profile of MonoSol Rx as compared to the time of inception of the loan in 2008. More importantly this transaction provides us with the ability to focus on building our business and focusing our energy on our exciting pipeline of products most immediately PharmFilm Epinephrine, Montelukast, Zolmitriptan and Rizatriptan."
A. Mark Schobel, chief executive officer of MonoSol Rx, commented, "Since entering our original debt financing agreement with White Oak, MonoSol Rx has grown substantially and recently achieved FDA approval and commercial launch of the first two prescription products based on our proprietary PharmFilm technology. The refinancing of our debt and the continuing evolution of the company allow us to focus on keeping a steady stream of products in the development and commercialization process.
"One of those important products is the breakthrough work we have done with our partner Midatech, Ltd. on buccally delivered Nanoinsulin(TM) PharmFilm. We have had outstanding results in pre-clinical testing, in multiple species, that has conclusively demonstrated the companies' ability to deliver active insulin across the buccal mucosa and meaningfully impact glucose levels in all subject animals. Continuing this work will result in significant benefits to patients with diabetes."
Headquartered in San Francisco with offices in Greenwich, Connecticut, White Oak Global Advisors, LLC is a private specialty finance fund that underwrites and manages senior-secured financings to middle market companies across a broad range of sectors.
About MonoSol Rx
MonoSol Rx is a specialty pharmaceutical company leveraging its proprietary PharmFilm® technology to deliver drugs in films. PharmFilm® is designed to benefit patients by improving the convenience, efficacy, and compliance of new and currently marketed drugs. The Company's leadership in film drug delivery is supported by strong intellectual property, a portfolio of commercialized prescription and over-the-counter (OTC) drug products, a pipeline of prescription formulations based on PharmFilm® technology, and two recent FDA approvals – Zuplenz®, the first approved prescription oral soluble film for the prevention of chemotherapy-induced, radiotherapy-induced, and postoperative nausea and vomiting, and Suboxone® sublingual film, the first combination sublingual film product for the treatment of opioid dependence.
MonoSol Rx's commercialization strategy for all PharmFilm® products is to partner with the innovator, other specialty pharma or leading consumer products companies that can sell-in and manage product sales and marketing. For existing and future partners, PharmFilm® formulations represent revenue-life cycle extensions for products with patent lives that have expired or are approaching expiration. PharmFilm® is also a tool to help sales and marketing partners differentiate in competitive markets while offering unique advantages over drugs dosed by traditional tablets, capsules and orally disintegrating tablets (ODTs).
