But for now...I must move on and invest my hours directly on my studio work. I have opened up a blog page for my studio, Lesley Litrento Studio. I am not quite sure what role the studio blog will play. Time will tell.
I wanted to thank all of you guys for following The Homeless Finch over the past few years. It's been a journey. I have enjoyed walking this path with each and everyone of you. I have come to a crossroad and I will be taking another path in a very different direction. If you want to keep up with what is happening in my studio, don't be afraid to follow me over here.

Singapore, Nov 4 — Singapore is using an anti-stick paint to prevent illegal advertisements at train stations, along roads and on pillars and lamp posts.
The land transport authority has floated a tender to apply the solution at 367 locations on the island by 2017 after learning that anti-stick paint is effective in tackling the problem, reports Xinhua.
The tender is for a clear coating that can be applied on glass or plastic.
It is illegal to paste advertisements, which range in size from Post-It notes to A4, at undesignated places such as subway stations, pillars and lamp posts.
They also leave unsightly stains after being removed, especially when strong adhesives are used.
The authority began a trial of anti-stick paint in 2009 at a sheltered linkway leading to a strain station.
It was a success. Since then, the anti-stick paint has been applied at 252 locations. The authority previously said that the move would help it save about $80,000 a year in cleaning-up costs.
The latest tender will expand the coverage to most of the places from where the complaints about such advertisements are common.
The authority has also introduced 27 notice boards since 2010 at 21 subway stations with heavy pedestrian traffic. It costs 50 cents a day to put up an A5-size advertisement.
A spokesman of the land transport authority said there were fewer illegal advertisements at areas which have notice boards and anti-stick paint.
"These initiatives together with regular enforcement and public education have been effective in preventing the pasting of illegal advertisements on streets," he added.
The transport regulator levied 248 fines for pasting illegal advertisements from January to September, compared to 454 last year and 674 in 2011.

Fact Sheet
The decision to use a certain type of abrasive material can depend on factors such as cost, job specifications, environment, and worker health.
Commonly used abrasive materials:
Alternative, less toxic blasting materials include:
Abrasive blasting creates high levels of dust. Photo courtesy of NIOSH.
Abrasive blasting creates high levels of noise that can cause substantial hearing loss. Always wear hearing protection. Employers must administer a hearing conservation program as required by the OSHA Occupational Noise standard.
Abrasive blasting operations can create high levels of dust and noise. Abrasive material and the surface being blasted may contain toxic materials (e.g., lead paint, silica) that are hazardous to workers.
Each abrasive blasting operation is unique, involving different surfaces, coatings, blast material, and working conditions. Before beginning work, employers should identify the hazards and assign a knowledgeable person trained to recognize hazards and with the authority to quickly take corrective action to eliminate them. Use engineering and administrative controls, personal protective equipment (PPE), including respiratory protection, and training to protect workers involved in abrasive blasting activities. Engineering controls, such as substitution, isolation, containment, and ventilation are the primary means of preventing or reducing exposures to airborne hazards during abrasive blasting operations. Administrative controls, including the use of good work and personal hygiene practices, can also reduce exposure. When engineering and administrative controls cannot keep exposures to hazardous materials below OSHA permissible exposure limits, respiratory protection must be used.
1. Substitition
2. Isolation and Containment
3. Ventilation
Employers can use OSHA's free On-Site Consultation Program for advice on safety and health issues.
Perform routine cleanup using wet methods or HEPA filtered vacuuming to minimize the accumulation of toxic dusts.
Abrasive blasting using a dust collection system withmultiple exhaust ducts. (Photo courtesy of Flexaust, Inc. This equipment is shown for illustrative purposes only and is not intended as an endorsement by OSHA of this company, its products or services.)
An abrasive-blasting respirator must cover the wearer's head, neck, and shoulders to protect the wearer from rebounding abrasive. Workers must use only respirators approved by NIOSH to provide protection from dusts produced during abrasive-blasting operations.
Support personnel involved in cleanup and other related activities may also need respiratory protection.
When respirators are used,employers must establish a comprehensive respiratory protection program as required by the OSHA Respiratory Protection standard (29 CFR 1910.134)
For more information on abrasive blasting and control measures see: OSHA's guidance document: "Abrasive Blasting Hazards in Shipyard Employment" (2006); and eTool:Mechanical Removers (Ship Repair).
Disclaimer: This OSHA Fact Sheet provides a general overview of the requirements in OSHA standards related to abrasive blasting.It does not alter or determine compliance responsibilities in these standards or the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970. Since interpretations and enforcement policy may change over time, the reader should consult current OSHA interpretations and decisions by the Occupational Safety and Health Review Commission and the courts for additional guidance on OSHA compliance requirements.
This is one in a series of informational fact sheets highlighting OSHA programs, policies or standards. It does not impose any new compliance requirements.

Battle of Carthage III by RadoJavorWatch
©2013-2016 RadoJavor
Early concept for the game total war: rome II. After the long siege the city was conquered by Rome and later razed to the ground.
It was an inspiration for the actual battle map and the atmosphere. Didn't have much time for this so done in quick style.
It was an inspiration for the actual battle map and the atmosphere. Didn't have much time for this so done in quick style.
Burn the city, let nothing alive, burn everithing
Great work! Also Creative Assembly (the people who made Total War: Rome II) had some money left over in their marketing budget and got a great channel on YouTube called Extra Credits to teach some history about the Punic Wars (The wars between Rome and Carthage) please check it out. Just search Extra Credits Punic Wars on youtube, it's amazingly interesting. Go check it out if you're interested (It's seriously like Game of Thrones with all the crazy stuff that happens!)
Looks good man.
Heh. That statue on the right reminds me of Indy Jones: Fate of Atlantis. Awesome piece, man. As usual!
"Carthago delenda est!"
--- Cato the Elder
Aw man. Being on a Hannibal trip at the moment, this piece hurts. In a good way.
One little thing: Would you consider changing the statue in the background? None of the Punic gods had horns. There's an excellent reference for Baal Hammon here: www.art-prints-on-demand.com/k… I totally understand if you decide you want to believe, and depict, the demonic tradition of Carthaginian gods spread by the Romans, but as a matter of fact, this dark side is largely a product of Roman construction.
they have many gods, I know about one called moloch and nobody know now how he looks like.
Moloch wasn't a God but a sacrificial rite called "mulk" ("moloch being a wrong transcription). There are depictions of several other gods in the Carthaginian pantheon (Baal Hammon, Tinit, Baal Haddad, Melkart).
I wasn't going to quarrel though. If this is your interpretation, it's your interpretation.
Even if it is done in quick style this still a fantastic piece of work. i love the amount of detail that is there and better still implied. It manages to say so much.
I also like the way that in bits we can still see some of the sketch lines that you used to built the drawing up. Gives a bit of an insight in to how you work.
Digging the Roman troops pulling down the Baal statue in the background.
Great view
Very neat, love to see your paint Romans, ha ha!! Wouldn't want to be an inhabitant of that city.
it is so awsome
I really like the image, even if it was a quick one as you said. Everything reads as it should and the atmosphere is also present. A lovely piece of concept art if you ask me
Hmm, a Celtic mercenary on the right?
More great work from you.
Ez nagyon komoly! Gratulálok!
Well done.
dude, for a fan of teh Total War series like me, this artwork is just a dream. the rough sketch styl adds a special kind of atmosphere to the picture. love it!"
Nicely done Radojavor.
very nice, beautiful perspective, beautiful scene in dual chrome
Even if it is quick, the scope is still amazing.
War Elephants will pwn all.
I can't wait to play
I really like this quick style. It looks very raw. Beautifully done.
Love it, as usual.
Awesome! I love the colors and style!
Looks epic. Can't wait for the game.

Featured Brands
The Dirt
Pushing the limits, that's what Arctiva snowmobile gear is all about. When the snow is flying, the wind is blowing and the mercury is bottoming out, that's when your customers will want to be wearing Arctiva gear.
The people who design and test Arctiva gear are hardcore snowmobile riders. They go out in the most extreme conditions and then come back to design the apparel they want for themselves. It's only after the riding gear has been tested, redesigned and tested again that it makes it to dealerships. It's this ground-up design focus on extreme performance that makes the new 2016 Arctiva gear so great.
The 2016 Comp insulated jacket is made for the snowmobile rider who wants to test his or her own limits. Insulated is a key word in this riding gear. This jackets keeps out the cold via a fully insulated, durable waterproof high denier polyester chassis with a hanging polyester liner, and 3M Thinsulate insulation for maximum warmth without the bulk — 200 grams in front, 150 grams in back and 150 grams in the sleeves. That's superior insulation that is still highly flexible.
To keep wind, snow and water out there is 2L-laminated fabric, sealed seams and a water repellant coating on the outer shell. Plus, there are seven pockets to hold whatever is needed. Let's not forget that often snowmobiling can get highly physical and a rider can build up a lot of body heat. Riders can regulate their core temp via multiple zippered vents for temperature regulation. The fleece lined collar and inner snow gaiter cuff keep the neck warm and comfy on long rides.
For complete body core warmth, pair the Comp jacket with a 2016 Comp bib. The Comp bib is constructed with the same fully insulated durable waterproof high denier polyester chassis and polyester liner as the jacket. This bib is designed to allow freedom of movement while keeping the elements outside with Thinsulate insulation for maximum warmth without the bulk. More features include 600D Polyester oxford overlays in high wear areas; 2L laminated fabric, sealed seams and the water repellant coating on the outer shell provides a superior barrier against water, snow and wind.
To vent out excess body heat there are inner thigh vents, front thigh vents and side leg zippers. More features include a double layer waterproof seat, full-length zippers for easy entry with boots, bib interface connectors to secure jacket and pant together, and an interior cuff, snow gaiter to keep out snow and wind. That's a lot of features and together they complete an outstanding snowmobile bib ready to tackle the coldest conditions.
Arctiva didn't forget the ladies when it came to the 2016 line of gear. Gem Insulated Arctiva is dedicated to providing powersports gear for feminine tastes and shapes. The Gem is a performance outerwear package that keeps the technical features without compromising function or appearance. Gem is engineered for the most demanding of women riders; its jackets and bibs have many of the same features as the men's line but are designed with your female customers fit and tastes in mind.
Since Arctiva designs and tests its own gear, the company knows that a total package includes a proper layering system; that's the key to staying warm and dry while riding. Arctiva's lineup of moisture-wicking layering products is critical to a comfortable ride. For the body, start with the Evaporator wicking base layer. This is an effective layering system that starts with a base layer which wicks moisture away from the body. Worn directly against the skin, Evaporator gear is made from a wicking quick-dry material, and is the recommended base layer for the Arctiva layering system.
The second layer is the Regulator top and bottom, made with a moisture-wicking base layer and a comfy four-way polyester spandex insulation. For those customers who work hard, sweat a lot and worry more about keeping cool and dry before keeping warm and dry, there is the Evaporator line. Those needing a little more warmth, but still good breathability and moisture wicking performance, want the Regulator.
For more extreme temperatures, the Arctiva Insulator heavyweight fleece insulation series provides the additional warmth required. The Insulator gear is made of a blend of micro polyester fleece/Spandex and, combined with Evaporator or Regulator layers, provides extra warmth in extremely cold environments.
The Insulator jacket is a mid-weight polyester four-way stretch fleece designed to be worn over the top of Evaporator or Regulator. The Insulator is made in a jacket style (looser fit with center-front zipper and chest pocket) so it can easily be put on or removed during the day as activities and temperatures change.
The Insulator pant can be worn as a base layer, and is made from the same mid-weight polyester stretch fleece as the jacket, so it is thicker and warmer than the Evaporator and Regulator pant, but just as comfortable against the skin. Worn with Arctiva snowmobile gear these layering systems are the ideal combination for active snowmobilers.

It was a starry fashion crowd at Chado Ralph Rucci, with Carmen Dell�Orefice and Project Runway�s J Alexander among the front-row celebs enjoying this strong collection.
As ever, his pieces were big on glamour, but the classic shapes � round-necked, crop-sleeved jackets, shapely shift dresses, raglan-sleeved A-line coats � were brought right up to date with sporty fabrics and a powerful palette of fluorescent orange, yellow, pink and black.
Fluoro-coloured panels were slashed dramatically through coats and dresses, as well as on a drapey caftan-like dress, but it wasn�t all about colour-blocking: luminous feathers exploded out of a jacket sleeve or covered an entire dress, and the beautiful closing look featured a skirt of cream satin hand-painted in a giant brush swirl.

If you choose to visit the little chapel during your stay in Aruba you can look for this easy to find treasure. Behind the chapel you will find the Peace Labyrinth. If you look toward the ocean while standing at the Peace Labyrinth sign you will notice a lone leaning rock directly behind the maze. Go to this rock and with your back to it facing the ocean, walk about 3 paces forward then turn left and walk about 15 paces to a cluster of rocks.

March marked the 25th anniversary of President Ronald Reagan's speech that launched the Strategic Defense Initiative program, one that hoped to create a defensive space shield from incoming nuclear missiles.
The anniversary took on even greater significance last weekend as President Bush visited Europe, stopping in Russia where he refused to give in to Vladimir Putin's demands that the system not be deployed in central Europe.
To look at headlines, broadcasts, and stories from 1983, one would hardly imagine any two country's leaders debating the option 25 years later.
From nearly the moment that President Reagan's nationally televised speech ended that March 23rd night, he faced derision and ridicule from the left.
Ted Kennedy immediately dubbed SDI "Star Wars," a moniker that has stuck though not carrying the same negative connotations as when Kennedy characterized President Reagan's speech as "misleading Red-scare tactics" and "reckless."
Some referred to SDI as "fantasy," the stuff of Buck Rogers. Some even began calling the president "Ray guns."
Still others took SDI seriously but critically referred to it as the beginning of another arms race, fearing a weapons race in space.
In the past month or so, two technologies President Reagan envisioned have come to the public's attention. While it was hard to ignore the U.S. military's decimation of a satellite with a missile, the Pentagon's development of a ray gun did not receive as much attention.
Perhaps the most sublime weapon ever created by humankind, this ray gun featured on the March 2 episode of "60 Minutes" does not kill. Instead, the Active Denial System zaps humans with a 100,000-watt ray that, when used as intended, leaves its targets in retreat, unharmed, and in some instances laughing.
Reagan called these technologies defensive weaponry and said, once developed, they could be shared with the Soviet Union to prevent mutually assured destruction, often referred to as MAD.
Like many visionaries, President Reagan had his detractors, especially in the press.
Mark Shields criticized the president's "Star Wars" speech in his March 25, 1983 Washington Post column, saying it did not appeal to the citizenry for what he called "patriotic sacrifice" and "unselfish national purpose" in comparison to the speeches of FDR and JFK.
Later that week in the Post, Juan Williams quoted Hendrick Hertzberg, Jimmy Carter's chief speech writer, concerning the president's "Evil Empire" speech delivered in Orlando days before the "Star Wars" speech: "Reagan's speeches are much more ideological and attacking than any recent president's speeches…Something like the speech to the evangelicals is not presidential, it's not something a president should say."

it's what the astronauts drink by Bob-RzWatch
©2006-2016 Bob-Rz
so i was nursing a cold with warm Tang. and i got to thinking how Tang is suppoed to be what the astronauts drink. then i remember some thing i watched on tv about how NASA had worked on some machine that can reycle urine into clean drinking water.
i think i drank that once, my mom made a drink (kool aid), dont know what the hell she put in it....
My country (Singapore) actually has to do something similar to that because it doesn't have natural resources. They call it "NeWater", and it's mixed at a low percentage (right now, at least) with water bought from neighbouring countries such as Malaysia.
Interesting technology, eh?
Interesting technology, eh?
How does it taste?
oh yeah, i've heard of NeWater. i used to date a girl from Singapore.
the comment made me lol
WATERWORLD matees
You know there's this thing about how people in the desert dig up frogs and squeeze them so they pee into their mouths so as to not die of dehydration. The question is "Would you drink frog piss to save your self?"
no i would not even though i love blood and gore since about first or second grade that's just too gross
on a completely unrelated topic for some reason i read your username as kelp the velicraptor

Manning still looking to find his way in new offense
|New York Giants quarterback Eli Manning (10) gets up off the turf after being sacked by the New York Jets in the first quarter of a preseason NFL football game, Friday, Aug. 22, 2014, in East Rutherford, N.J. (AP Photo/Bill Kostroun)
EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. — After three miserable plays in Tom Coughlin's so-called `green-zone,' New York Giants offensive coordinator Ben McAdoo let out his frustration at practice Monday.
The wording was something like `make a play,' with a sharper word included for emphasis.
With two weeks left until the regular-season opener in Detroit on Sept. 8, the Giants' new offense is struggling, and two-time Super Bowl MVP Eli Manning does not look comfortable.
In the last three preseason games, the first-team offense has scored two touchdowns, one on a 73-yard run by Rashad Jennings and the other on Friday night in an impressive two-minute drill.
The rest of the time has been pretty brutal, marred by penalties, sacks and few yards gained.
Manning said after practice that there is no doubt everybody knows what to do. But getting everyone on the same page is still a work in progress.
Two of the three plays that miffed McAdoo were marked by confusion. On one, a receiver did not make a cut that Manning expected, and the ball landed in a vacant area around the 5-yard line. On another, the revamped offensive line didn't give Manning enough time and he had to throw the ball away.
"You want everything done precisely, so we're still, every day, we're trying to get better at that," said Manning, who threw a career-high 27 interceptions last season as the Giants (7-9) missed the playoffs for the second straight year.
"We need to be corrected on some things and do things more efficiently, so we're getting there, we're making small steps, but we're probably not all the way where we need to be," said the 33-year-old quarterback entering his 11th season. "I think there will always be things that we can improve on. It's not something you're going to master in four weeks. As the season goes on, we'll know what we do well, we'll progress, we'll put new plays in, different things in, to attack certain defenses."
McAdoo's new West Coast offense is a major adjustment for Manning. It's more up-tempo, features quicker releases, some rollouts and seemingly not as many deep routes as the old, balanced attack of former coordinator Kevin Gilbride, who retired after last season.
The plodding Manning does not look comfortable on the rollouts. He is even less comfortable scrambling.
The most at ease he has looked was in the two-minute drill in the game against the Jets last weekend. Manning hit 7 of 10 passes for 89 yards in the 91-yard march that was capped by a 15-yard pass to Rueben Randle.
"I think that's the good thing about the two-minute, you're usually running your base plays that you've run over and over and over again," Manning said.
Basically, the old stuff.
Coach Tom Coughlin said that while the offense has a new coordinator, some of the old schemes are in place. Manning still gets to use his favorite third-down plays. Receiver Victor Cruz still runs certain routes, and the Giants will still use the same trusted plays when they see opponents in certain formations.
"When it is all said and done, it is football," Coughlin said. "Whatever you call, if it is the three-step game, whatever you call it is one thing. But someone on the outside identifying it would look at it and say, `Gee, I have seen that play before,' so that is basically where you are."
Manning and the first-team offense will go for about 18 plays on Thursday night in the preseason finale against the Patriots at MetLife Stadium.
"Eli is a Super Bowl champ, so there is nothing he can't do," tight end Larry Donnell said. "He has two rings and is a Pro Bowler. He is a great athlete and Eli is going to get the job done so that isn't going to be a problem.
"We are coming to it, we are getting better," Donnell said. "We'll be where we need to be."
NOTES: Starting RG Brandon Mosley (back) missed his second straight practice and was sent to see a specialist, along with backup OT James Brewer. ...Starting LG Geoff Schwartz went to North Carolina to have a dislocated toe on his right foot examined. Coughlin does not know how long he will be out. Rookie Weston Richburg and veteran John Jerry will start at the guard spots. ... First-round pick WR Odell Beckham Jr. did not practice and will miss all five preseason games with a hamstring injury.

Expecting in September living in Thame/Chinnor Area
Hi I am expecting beginning of September and wondered if there are any women in the same scenario of living in a village and being the youngest (although being 32!!) and wanting to meet up with other mums to be. Maybe share stories or even just be there once baby is born for support?
I live in Kingston Blount, so i have suggested the areas of Thame and Chinnor as they are larger.
Or even if you are expecting in September too, it would be great to hear from you
Hi there,
I know this is an old post but I live in Chinnor. My son is nearly 17 months now.
Sent from my iPhone using Netmums mobile app
hi I know this is an old post but I live in chinnor if you're still looking to make friends. I have a 6 month old daughter. Hope to hear from you soon
Again I see this post is quite old but I live in princes risborough and have a 7 month old son if anyone fancies a play date or coffee anytime. I go back to work on 27th April but am around most days until then x

Anyone recommend a similar working developer available in the UK to use instead or should I get the old recipe books out? Many thanks Mike

Great staff, excellent location, very secure, and in a cool old building. Having said that, this is certainly an older style European hotel with a single bathroom per floor so if we had been there for more than a couple nights or there were more than a couple guests on our floor I could see that being an issue. While the bed was clean and large, it did sag and wasn't the most comfortable. Next time I'm in Florence I'll look elsewhere first, but won't go out of my way to avoid Hotel Bavaria.

I didn't love the breakfast, there's no fresh bread, orange juice or fruit but the yogurt and coffe were ok. Overall a very nice stay, the staff reccomended a few not overcrowded sites that were delightful.

After reading SO many mixed reviews on Clinique�s 3 Step Skin Care regime I was really nervous about trying it but decided to try it anyway � i have really oily skin and by the middle of the day regardless of weather my face will look like an oil slick� I LOVE this stuff! The toner (of whatever Clinique call it) I use is the number 3 and together with the moisturising gel my face gets dewy by late afternoon! This is the BEST my skin has EVER been! I cannot recommend this enough to people with really oily skin� I leave use it when i am in the shower and find it easy to apply - my fiance tried it but said that it wasn't really good for him as he has normal skin so it left him feeling a little "tight". I will definately repurchase!

First of all, one of these bottles has lasted me for a long, long time. I still have my first bottle and it's been at least a year, maybe two and a good fourth of it is left. It will last you a long time. I use it everyday in the shower and it's great for removing oil, especially in the morning when I've had my face up against my pillow and touching my hair (which can get a little oily). It's not too harsh either. Would definitely recommend and it is worth paying a little more because it will last you quite awhile. You don't need much to spread around your face, maybe half a pump.

Clinique's 3 step system gets a lot of hate around here. But, a while back, a got the system for oily skin and the one thing in the package that impressed me was the cleanser. I was using the cleanser regularly and found it made my skin clean and helped keep breakouts and clogged pores at bay. However, I wanted to trim my beauty budget for a while and stopped using this and began to randomly use a bunch of drugstore cleansers. My skin was acting up and I went to buy the Clinique Liquid Facial Soap again for Oily skin. I'm so happy I did. This cleanser really helps zap oil but doesn't dry it out and flake the skin. I apply 2 pumps to my damp face and use a face brush in small circular motions for 2 minutes than rinse. Even though it is pricey for a cleanser, it works great for my skin and I feel that it is worth the fifteen bucks.

I got this in a GWP from Clinique. Really cleanses well, got off all my makeup, and left skin feeling tingly/minty. Downfalls were price and didn't keep me from breaking out.

I really like this cleanser. Alot. Which is great because after having an awful experience with cliniques 3-step-system a few years ago i thought i'd never go back to them, but im glad i did. I picked up a big bottle of this for $17 from the clinique corporate store and have been using it for a few months. My skin has never looked better! I used to be so oily with bad breakouts but my skin is calm and clear since using this! I like to pump a small amount into my hands, lather it up and then lighty massage into my face for 1-2 minutes ( i know that seems like a long time but i think thats also what has helped my skin, taking time to cleanse properly)
So yes, this is my new HG cleanser - Love it!! The only gripe i have is the smell - its very plain, i like a bit of fragrance, but its a very small price to pay for wonderful clear skin :)

I do like this but don't think it's worth the price. I use the other Clinique skin care products for oily skin (Claryfying Lotion 3 and SuperDefense moisturiser for oily skin) but use other face washes for oily skin instead that are cheaper and sometimes do a better job. I would repurchase this if it was on offer but otherwise i'm going to stick to the cheaper face washes like Garnier/L'Oreal/Simple!!!

I've been using this product for over ten years now. My skin is very sensitive and gets very oily as the day goes on, and this cleanser really seems to minimize that. I decided to try something else for a little while not too long ago because I'd heard good things about it, and I could definitely tell a huge difference. Nothing compares to Clinique, and I won't be making that mistake again. This cleanser (complete with the toner and gel) has and continues to keep my skin clear and healthy.

Amaing product. Cleans my skin inside out. I'm oily on my T-zone, so it may be drying on my cheeks sometimes, but jason's Vitamin E oil works best with this. I don't use the toner and moisturizer that comes with this, because it made me breakout. But this works wonders! My skin is balanced, and I only have acne scar, no more acne anymore.

Clinique's Facial Liquid Soap is the best cleanser I have ever used and it's cheap ($15 at Sephora)! When I first bought it ten months ago (I'm on my second bottle, it lasts very long!) my face was so oily and I had a few large cystic bumps. I heard about this cleanser on youtube and thought I give it a try. Within the week my face was under control. The oiliness decreased so much that I didn't even have to use blotting paper anymore but I used them anyway out of habit. My cystic bumps also decreased drastically. I still have occasional breakouts but nothing serious. Just a few small red/white bumps that go away within a week or two. I did however have a horrible breakout two weeks ago. No cystic acne but a cluster of small bumps on my chin and cheeks that were very noticeable. I thought my skin got too use to Clinique so I switched to Cetaphil Gentle Skin Cleanser because I heard that gentle cleansers are better for long term results. That was not the case at all. The Cetaphil cleanser actually gave me more acne! I gave it a week and couldn't handle it no more so I went back to Clinique's Liquid Facial Soap for oily skin and it worked again! I still have a few bumps left but my cheeks are now just left with scars from the healed acne that I'll probably treat with the Clinique dark spot corrector or the Mario Badescu Whitening Mask. I'll probably keep using this cleanser until I grow out of my teen years and when acne will not be such a problem anymore.
Oh yeah I started using this cleanser with the Classic Clarisonic Brush a month ago and the results are way better. My scars fade way faster now.
Age: 19-24
Skin: Combination, Fair-Medium, Not Sure
Hair: Black, Other, Other

I've been using this for 2-3 years, and i love it! now it doesn't really help with my acne problem, but it does help a lot with my skin feeling smooth, and really clean after wards. It has a minty sensation when you wash your face, and my face feels clean when i use it. I use it with the 3 step system, and i like it. I might try something new next time for getting rid of acne, but just for everyday, this works well

Soon You'll Be Able to Stream Video Directly to NBC News
Or you can just keep tweeting.
Journalists scrambling to find user-generated content during breaking news events may soon be a thing of the past. NBC News is acquiring the web service Stringwire, which will allow people to hold up their cell phones and stream content directly into NBC's control rooms. Vivian Schiller, the chief digital officer for NBC News, pointed to the protests in Tahrir Square, the Asiana Airlines crash, and the Boston bombing manhunt, telling the New York Times that during such events, "we might have reporters there, but they may not be in the right places ... They may not have the kind of access that eyewitnesses do." There's no word yet on whether these contributors will be branded with a silly name, like CNN's iReporters.

12 Most Ridiculous Truffle Innards
If you're a foodie, truffles might mean an incredibly expensive mushroom unearthed by specially trained truffle pigs and dogs. Dogs are preferred to pigs because pigs eat the truffles, and their owners carry a stick to beat the pigs away before they devour the high-priced fungi.
In my house, truffles mean little chocolate treasure boxes surrounding delicious centers of fruit, nut butters, or even more serotonin-inducing chocolate. We also have to use a stick to beat people away from eating our truffles.
Truffle hunting is a serious enterprise for our family and quite often we resort to manufacturing our own. We have encountered some delicious combinations and some disasters. I present to you a virtual box of chocolates containing a dozen ingredients, good and bad, that we have unearthed in our desperate need to ease our cravings as trufflaholics.
1. Bacon Truffle
For those lucky recipients of the vibrant purple box, you may well recognize Vosges Haut-Choclaut. We've tried the bacon truffle. It was like a wild night on the town that you don't quite remember. You think you had fun, but if you dig too deep, you might find something you regret.
2. Super-Charged Truffle
I am just plain disappointed in this. A hyper-caffeinated truffle sounds like both a waste of good chocolate and a waste of good caffeine. Do you think if you wash it down with Four Loko you'll end up on the evening news?
3. Balsamic Vinegar
I love balsamic vinegar…on salad! I am struggling to imagine biting into a creamy, cocoa-coated ball of vinegar. It's tangy and tart, true, but is it tasty? Someone please buy me one of these truffles so I can make a decision once and for all.
4. Basil Truffles
I'm all for herbs enhancing desserts (look for a future blog post on this topic!) but the unfortunate look of these basil truffles would send the wary running. I, however, would bravely pop a whole one in my mouth and chomp away. I might not be so cavalier with the other flavors mentioned in their blog, including peas and carrots and garlic.
5. A Shot of Truffle
Check out the second one down on the left. A truffle with tequila? Now that's just ridiculous!
6. Black Pearl
Sorry, no Johnny Depp here but we are back to Vosges, to see what happens when the soul of the European-based truffle encounters Eastern inspiration. The Black Pearl wraps dark chocolate around ginger-wasabi, dotted with sesame seeds. Do we eat it with chopsticks?
7. Spooky Truffles
When I saw the name Fat Turkey Chocolate, my first thought was "Someone stole my idea!" One day I hoped to be the first to introduce the world to the Thanksgiving Truffle, which obviously is chocolate wrapped around turkey, stuffing and gravy, topped with cranberry. But Fat Turkey's Ghost Pepper Truffle is innovative enough. The world may not be ready for gravy in a truffle.
8. Healthy Truffles
I am all for healthy eating, but really, do we need a truffle that's packed with fiber and life force?
9. Sweet Potato Truffle
Again, someone trying to beat my Thanksgiving truffle to the market, this sweet-potato obsessed truffle maker devised her own recipe for a ridiculous truffle filling.
10. Prune Truffles
Don't wrinkle up your nose. Prunes are amazing and it's ridiculous NOT to try prune truffles. It's also ridiculous that something this good is so easy to make.
11. Unforgettable Truffles
So named because they contain a liqueur made from a fruit loved by elephants in Kenya. I adore elephants and I adore truffles. One day I will ride on an elephant and eat this truffle.
12. Ant Truffles
People will eat anything if it's covered with chocolate, won't they? I'm not absolutely sure this qualifies as a truffle but it's supremely ridiculous. Considering people have eaten these ants for hundreds of years, you'd think I'd be more open-minded, but remember I wasn't even impressed with the caffeinated truffle. I've got high standards.
By now you've possibly reached your credit card limit buying and shipping several of these truffles to me with the hopes that I'll eat them, love them, and then eat my words. But honestly, truffle making is a simple form of dessert art that allows you to experiment with your own flavor combinations and discover something truly delicious. The hard candy-coated truffles take more work, but the softer truffles open a world of possibilities. We've made several and invented our own based on what's sitting at the back of our cupboard that needs to be used before it expires. You, too, can clean out your kitchen and find inspiration. Share your amazing results, but don't you dare attempt my Thanksgiving truffle. Its time has not yet come.

"Prune truffles" can't be too far from chocolate covered raisins.
"Balsamic Vinegar" reminds me of pickle flavored potato chips, its strange when you 1st try it, but I became addicted to them. The best pickle chips are Frito Lays so far. Not too sour or salty.
Have you tried the chocolate covered potato chips?
There are brandy filled truffles tequila doesn't surprise me at all.
I don't know how to "digest" this list (bahaha, I crack myself up). @kfvickery and I occasionally have truffles as our chocolate of choice to go along with our wine. We are old fashioned with some form of chocolate in chocolate...perhaps with some extra chocolate sprinkled on. I guess we are just kinda simple that way (hey, I love Oreo balls, so that explains my culinary depth). Although I keep hearing about people combining bacon w/chocolate, so I guess I'll have to put that one on the short list.
Got a Ghiradelli story, too...
Hi Elizabeth!
Welcome to the 12 Most family! I do not like chocolate however, Vosges is pretty outstanding. The caramel with sea salt is great.
You should try a recipe with sweet potato - I made some fudge that had sweet potato and it was incredible.
In an effort to be cute and fresh, you ended up falling flat and just sounding clicheishly bitter. It's as if you were trying out for "Mean Girls Part Two - The Writer version." You insulted the look and taste of truffles you've never even tried or seen except for in a picture on a blog. The most supremely ridiculous part of your whole article is the claim you have high standards. High standards is all relative. No, I won't be one of the folks sending you a box of chocolate to change your mind. You need to grow up and buy your own chocolates like the rest of us. I don't believe you should be allowed to eat chocolate ever again. That should be your punishment.
Thanks so much for including my truffle here. . . I think?! I couldn't tell whether you thought it was a good idea or not! Let me just say that the hubs scarfed down five of those babies in quick succession, and no one ever guesses what the "secret ingredient" is. . . but they sure do love them! And the filling makes a fabulous healthy-yet-decadent-tasting frosting for your kid's birthday cake. :D
That is a pretty epic list. Love those bacon truffles.
@tomnickygrant are you the guy who post's that type comment on blogs. I have seen it on my blog.
@jodineibeme I have tried chocolate covered potato chips and LOVE 'EM
@dbvickery@kfvickery Do you ever have trouble pronouncing Ghiradelli? I'm always nervous about saying out loud because my mispronunciation will reveal my ignorance. Same with Vosges. So much easier to type.
@dbvickery@kfvickery oreo balls are delicious! Isn't chocolate the best with wine?! PS - I'm not super adventurous when it comes to desserts, but I have tried the bacon chocolate and it is delicious. It's not overwhelmingly bacony, but you get the smoky saltiness mixed with the chocolate and it is fantastic. Cheers!
@GloriaStrohm High standards is definitely relative. Sometimes I'll eat chocolate my kids have dropped on the floor because I'm desperate for the seratonin boost.. That is also a form of punishment.
@GloriaStrohm It wasn't that bad. It's just her opinion and experience.
@GloriaStrohm Gloria, a bit much.
@GloriaStrohm I have to agree with you... this is pretty snarky- the writer should remember that a lot of these truffle makers are just small businesses that could really use some POSITIVE press.. it really surprises me the people who are calling you negative when really you are calling out the writer for her negativity.
@GloriaStrohm Hi Gloria, we at 12most hold our content up to the highest of standards, but what we value even more is our sense of community here. I am not sure what about this post rubbed you the wrong way, but unfortunately, in situations like this, you are simply presenting yourself as a person who is bitter. I hope that you return and become a valued and beloved member of our community here, but comments like this can only be hurtful and are never necessary, especially in regards to a topic that was intended to be fun and whimsical.
If you have more deep-seated issues with the content here, please feel free to contact me directly as I am editor-in-chief here and accept responsibility for quality control. You can reach me via email at margie at 12most dot com.

@GloriaStrohm Hi Gloria. Hug Patrol here. Sending you and your endorphins uber super duper fab-o pixie dust hugs and sprinkling rays of happy happy joy joy sunshine on your socialsphere so that the frowns get turned upside down. Cheers!
@RickiHeller I'm secretly in love with the sweet potato, too. We use it a lot around here and I am definitely going to be experimenting with your recipe. Let me know if you figure out a way to include cranberry, gravy and stuffing, OK? It will change the world...
@RickiHeller which was yours? I'm curious now & would love to try it out!
@BrandFlair Vosges also has a bacon bar that is delicious!
@PRbySweetTooth@kfvickery Well, that is part of the story. I was in the Bay Area one time, and I went to the Ghiradelli location (probably 10 years ago). I asked where was a great local place to get chocolate to bring home to my wife. So, I stand in line, and I take my time making the choice.
I get home, and I'm so excited because I love bringing chocolate back. My wife opens it, and she is sweet...but she says "oh, you can get these at King Soopers/Krogers". When bringing home chocolate, you are better off finding the truffles at Godiva. See them put *those* in the local grocery store ;)
@PRbySweetTooth@dbvickery@kfvickery Funny you say that, I've never really known how to say Vosges! I've asked multiple times when I've been in their stores, but it just doesn't stick for some reason :)
@justwannaread@GloriaStrohm ""The only thing worse than being talked about is not being talked about." Oscar Wilde.
Thank you @justwannaread I thought I was clear about what got me all in a twit. It was not deep seeded. More specifically I was offended that she called the basil truffles ugly... ok, in truth she wrote "the unfortunate look of these basil truffles would send the wary running." I wouldn't want anyone saying that about me or about something I made. She has no clue who the makers of Salt Side Down Chocolates are. I do. I know the chocolate maker personally. I know her because I shop the Occidental Farmer's Market every Friday evening. I know the chocolate maker takes great care to make her truffles by hand. Her truffles are beautiful individually and if you'd like more than one they are boxed with hand tied satin bows. I love my small business owners and make an effort to support them when I can. Full disclosures - I've actually tried and bought more than half of the truffles on this list. Margie herself has a link about the need for more kindness right under her written spanking to me. Yeah, I went and read it. I read her blog on kindness and was so surprised that this same person was the one who wrote this. I didn't attack her personally. I didn't call her names though she very nicely tossed out that editor-in-chief title so I was sure to know who I was being spanked by. That must look good on a business card. As you have pointed out she could have been much more supportive in her write up of the small businesses. Does that fall under "quality control?" Thanks @BrandFlair for helping me hugh it out.
Okay, now I think I must run off and start to work on a cranberry-filled truffle, too! That actually sounds delicious to me. ;) @PRbySweetTooth
Mine is the sweet potato truffle. It was born of a desire to create something fabulously decadent that was actually healthy as well. . . I think I succeeded (you can decide for yourself if you read through the comments). Thanks for asking!
@RachelTaylorChi@BrandFlair Bacon is a big hit at our house too.
@GloriaStrohm I get what your concerns were. I personally would have been a lot more supportive of your position if you would have just written this comment (above), rather than the first one.As a small business leader, I get your concern and I am sympathetic. However, two negatives don't make a positive.
@GloriaStrohm@justwannaread@BrandFlair Sorry to all if I offended. That was not at all my intent. I didn't understand from your initial comment that these truffles were made by specific companies/people. I thought they were simply random goods that had been happened upon/found or heard about.
My effort was not to prop myself up - it was just to try to remove some of the heat from our author. In the end, the editors, and then I are responsible for what goes live on this site, and it's my job to protect our authors in that regard.
Again, I apologize if I offended. That was certainly my last intention.

Hee hee! :D @PRbySweetTooth
@RickiHeller OMG!!!! HOLY HUMMUS!!
Ah, you may have been joking, but here's your hummus truffle filling, already made: http://bit.ly/qlVyMQ :D
@RickiHeller I know, right? No more of these average hazelnut or caramel filled truffles. We're going to push the truffle horizon! Spawn new delicious offspring of original ingredients! Reshape the chocolate empire!! On a side note, do you think there's any chance of a hummus truffle? Or feta cheese?
@RickiHeller I think when Elizabeth said "ridiculous" it is just the term she chose when describing unique fillings in this article. As far as I can tell, your truffle sounds delicious and I'm glad she brought it to my attention! When/if I get the chance to take a shot at making my own truffles, I will be sure to attempt your sweet potato truffles and let you know how it turns out. Cheers!
@PegFitzpatrick@RachelTaylorChi Mmmmmmm. Bacon!
[…] magic. Experiment with handmade truffles. Start with this easy recipe and don't be afraid to think outside of the candy box. Not that into desserts? Try crafting some homemade butter and experiment with wild flavors! I use […]

Hoops: Another 2015 top 50 considering Michigan
Michigan continues to cast a wider net with class of 2015 prospects. Three have been offered, and Henderson, Nev., Findlay Prep's Dillon Brooks could be next in line.
Brooks is solidly built at 6-5, 205, and always plays hard. The Canadian and CIA Bounce AAU standout was outstanding facing the United States in the FIBA U-18 Championships in late June, putting up 29 points and nine rebounds against some of the U.S. team's best.
Michigan has made an impression recently, in part because of another Canadian's success in Ann Arbor.
"Michigan, Michigan State, Iowa State, Syracuse, Rhode Island, Houston and UNLV," he said when asked who was recruiting him hard. "I like how Nik Stauskas went to the NBA from Michigan, how he worked on his game. They let them freestyle a bit, do what they wanted. They play ball and go hard."
Brooks also has a good relationship with UNLV given that a former Findlay coach, Todd Simon, is now a Rebels assistant. He has yet to set up a visit schedule, however, intent on waiting until after the July Peach Jam to set an itinerary.

Beats by Dr Dre and David Guetta join forces for DJ-friendly Beats mixr headphones
Beats by Dr Dre has teamed up with music producer and DJ David Guetta for a new set of headphones aimed at disc spinners. The Beats mixr headset has been designed entirely with DJs in mind, with a compact form factor and ear cups that can swivel 180 degrees for both portability and listening to the live audio while mixing.
Coming in October to the UK, the new headphones feature many of the audio properties of their stable mates, but take into account loud, high noise environments, such as a club, a recording studio or "on the street" (presumably in New York, where you can't hear yourself think sometimes).
David Guetta himself had major input with the headset's creation: "The process of creating the Beats mixr headphones was completely collaborative between me and Beats by Dr. Dre," he said.
"Our vision was to create the perfect world class headphone for DJs and music lovers alike and the outcome is truly amazing! I use headphones every day in the studio and every night at gigs, so I know how important the difference in quality is and want to share that.
"The sound is better than anything I've experienced before because it doesn't distort no matter what volume I am playing music at. They're easy to travel with because they're so light and compact. I can't wait to start using them when I'm DJing, creating music or just when I'm listening to music on the move."
The Beats mixr will be available in the UK in white or black at HMV for around £250.
Expect footballers to start wearing them soon.
