About the RP90
Performance Mode
When you first apply power to the RP90, it powers up in Performance mode. Performance mode provides access to all of the presets within the RP90 via the Up and Down Footswitches. The Edit Up/Down buttons cycle through the effects in the matrix.
Edit Mode
When you select an Effect with the Edit Up/Down buttons, you can adjust the Effect with the Value Up/Down buttons. (For descriptions of the Effects and their parameters, see page 20.) When you make changes to a presets Effects, you must store the changes or they will be lost when you select a different preset or disconnect power to the RP90. See page 18 for a description of the Store procedure.
Bypass Mode
The RP90 presets can be bypassed for a clean, unprocessed guitar signal. To bypass the RP90, press and release both Footswitches simultaneously. The Display reads By indicating the preset is bypassed. In Bypass mode, all buttons are disabled. Press either Footswitch to exit Bypass mode and return the RP90 to the last preset used.
Tuner Mode
The Tuner in the RP90 allows you to quickly tune or check the tuning on your guitar. Enter Tuner mode by pressing and holding both Footswitches simultaneously. The Display briefly shows tu indicating that you are in Tuner mode. To begin tuning, play a note on your guitar (a harmonic at the 12th fret usually works best). The Display shows the note being played. The Matrix LEDs
indicate whether you are sharp or flat. The left 6 red LEDs indicate the note is flat and should be tuned up. The right 6 red LEDs indicate the note is sharp and should be tuned down. The center LED indicates the note is in tune. The output is muted in Tuner mode; rock the Expression Pedal to regain volume.
Center LED indicates note is in tune Display shows note played
Left LEDs indicate note is flat
Right LEDs indicate note is sharp
In Tuner mode, you can change your tuning reference with the Vallue Up/Down buttons. The default factory setting is A=440 Hz (displayed as 40). Other tuning references are A=A flat (displayed as Ab), A=G (displayed as G), and A=G flat (displayed as gb). The display window will briefly flash the currently selected tuning preference. Exit Tuner mode by pressing either Footswitch.
Tone Library Button
You can press this button at any time (except in Bypass or Tuner mode) to access the Tone Library, and then use the Value Up/Down buttons to select from a variety of genre-based amp tone defaults ranging from Blues to Metal to Country. Behind the scenes, the Compressor, Distortion, Pickup/Wah effects, Amp/Cabinet model, and EQ are configured to create a specified tone. You can further refine the sound by editing the preset (see Editing/Creating Presets on page 17). Changing between different Tone Library defaults does not change the Chorus/FX, Delay or Reverb, letting you experiment with different amp styles quickly in the context of the current effect chain.
Effects Library Button
You can press this button at any time (except in Bypass or Tuner mode) to access the Effects Library and then use the Value Up/Down buttons to select from a variety of post-amplifier model effect chains (Chorus, Chorus + Delay, Delay + Reverb, etc.).You can further refine the sound by editing the preset (see Editing/Creating Presets on page 17). Changing between different Effects Library defaults does not change the Compressor, Distortion, Amp/Cabinet model, and EQ settings, letting you experiment with different effect chains quickly in the context of the current amp tone.
Effects Level Button
You can press this button at any time (except in Bypass or Tuner mode) to access the Effects Level. This button changes the relative level of the post-amp effects (Chorus/FX, Delay, and Reverb). This can be thought of as an effects mix control, where increasing this buttons value increases the level of these effects and decreasing its value decreases the level of these effects.
Master Level Button
Press this button and use the Value Up/Down buttons to set the overall output level of the RP90.
Value Buttons
1. Access the Tone Library with this button and select a tone with the Value buttons.
2. Access the Effects Library 3. Access the effects level with this button and select with this button and adjust the a tone with the Value buttons. level with the Value buttons.
The Tone Library button, Effects Library button, and Effects Level button make it easy to quickly load preset tones, effects, and effects chains.
To learn about storing changes to presets, see page 18. Presets
Presets are numbered locations of programmed sounds which reside in the RP90. Presets are recalled with the Footswitches. The active effects in each preset are indicated by lighted LEDs in the Effect Matrix. The RP90 comes with 50 User presets (1-50) and 50 Factory presets (51-00). The User presets are locations where your creations may be stored. The Factory presets do not allow you to store any changes to them. From the factory, the 50 User presets are exact duplicates of the 50 Factory presets. This allows you to create your own presets without losing the sounds that came with the RP90.
A Guided Tour of the RP90
Front Panel
These two Footswitches select presets, access the Tuner, or bypass the RP90. The Footswitch on the right will select the next preset up, and the Footswitch on the left will select the next preset down. Pressing both Footswitches together will bypass the currently selected preset. Pressing and holding both Footswitches for 2 seconds will access the Tuner. Press either Footswitch to exit Bypass or Tuner mode.
Tone Library, Effects Library, Effects Level, and Master Level Buttons
At the heart of creating presets in the RP90 are the Tone Library, Effects Library, and Effects Level buttons. By pressing one of these buttons and using the Value Up/Down buttons, you can select from 20 amp/distortion tones, 20 effects chains, or the overall post amp/distortion effects level respectively. The Master Level button accesses the master output volume parameter for the RP90. Each button is described in detail below. Tone Library Button The Tone Library button accesses a library of preset amp tones. Press this button and then use the Value Up/Down buttons to select from a variety of genre-based amp tones ranging from Blues to Metal to Country (see page 38 for a list of available tones). Behind the scenes, the Pickup/Wah, Compressor, Amp/Distortion, and EQ are configured to create a specified tone. You can further refine the sound by editing the preset (see Editing/Copying Presets on page 17). Changing between different Tone Library selections does not change the Chorus/FX, Delay, or Reverb settings, allowing you to experiment with different amp styles quickly in the context of the current effect chain. The Display will read CU (for custom) when any of the associated effects have been changed from a default library setting.
Effects Library Button The Effects Library button accesses a library of preset effect configurations. Press this button and use the Value Up/Down buttons to select a variety of post-amplifier model effect chains (Chorus, Chorus + Delay, Delay + Reverb, etc). You can further refine the sound by editing the preset (see Editing/Copying Presets on page 17). Changing between different Effects Library selections does not change the Pickup/Wah, Compressor, Amp/Distortion and EQ settings, allowing you to experiment with different effect chains quickly in the context of the current amp tone. The Display will read CU (for custom) when any of the associated effects have been changed from a default library setting. Effects Level Button The Effects Level button lets you adjust the levels of post-amp model effects (Chorus/FX, Delay, and Reverb). Press this button and use the Value Up/Down buttons to change the relative level of the post-amp effects (Chorus/FX, Delay, and Reverb). Think of it as an effects mix control where increasing this setting increases the level of these effects, while decreasing this setting decreases the level of these effects. Master Level Button The Master Level button lets you adjust the output level of the RP90. Press this button and use the Value Up/Down buttons to change the output level of the RP90.
Edit Up/Down
The Edit Up/Down buttons select which effect is to be edited. As each effect is selected, the Display shows the effect setting. A decimal in the bottom right corner of the Display turns on when a preset has been modified. The Edit Up/Down buttons are also used to change the RP90 Drum Machine parameters (Note that Drum Machine settings are global for all presets and are not saved with the preset).
Value Up/Down Display
The Value Up/Down buttons are used for editing effects, navigating Tone/Effects Libraries, adjusting Effects and Master Levels, and adjusting Drum Machine settings. The Display provides information for different functions depending on the mode that has been selected. In Performance mode, the Display shows the currently selected preset number. In Edit mode, the Display shows the value of the effect being adjusted. A decimal in the bottom right corner of the Display turns on when a preset has been modified. In Tuner mode, the Display shows the note being played.
The matrix provides information regarding the current preset and Effect edit functions. In Performance mode, the LEDs next to each Effect provide a visual indication of which Effects are in use for the currently selected preset. While editing a preset, the LEDs indicate the Effect currently selected for editing. In Tuner mode, the LEDs indicate whether the note played is sharp, flat, or in tune.
The Drums button is used to turn on and off the RP90s built-in drum machine. When the Drums button is turned on, the Drums button LED lights and the selected drum pattern plays continuously. Use the Value Up/Down buttons to change the pattern of the drum machine. See page 34 for more information about the drum machine.
The Store button is used to save your changes to the User presets. See page 18 for more information about storing presets.

Editing/Creating Presets
The RP90 is designed to make preset editing and creation easy and intuitive. When creating your own sound, you must first start with an existing preset. Note that the preset you begin with doesnt have to be in the memory location you intend to have it reside, since you can store it to any User preset location during the store procedure. The easiest way to start is by using the Tone Library and Effects Library buttons. The Tone Library button gives you access to a variety of pre-programmed amp/distortion tones (see page 38) based on different musical styles. The Effects Library button then lets you select from a palette of effects chains (see page 39), from simple delays to full multi-effect signals with modulation, delay and reverb. Use the Effects Level Button to easily increase or decrease the Chorus/FX, Delay and Reverb levels if desired. Using these three controls should get you close to a sound you are after. From there you can then use the Edit buttons to select individual Effects, and the Value Up/Down buttons to adjust their settings. To edit and create a custom preset: 1. 2. 3. Use the Footswitches to select the preset you wish to edit. If you are trying to find something different from the existing presets, begin by using the Tone Library, Effects Library, Effects Level and Value Up/Down buttons to get close to a sound you want. Once you have a sound close to what you are after, begin editing the Effects by pressing the Edit Up/Down buttons and selecting the Effect you want to adjust. To turn an Effect on, select it with the Edit Up/Down buttons. Each Effect has multiple settings to select from. Use the Value Up/Down buttons to change the values for the selected Effect To turn an Effect off, press and hold the Value Down button until Ofappears in the Display. (For EQs, b5, d5, and t5 are the settings with no boost or cut.)
Anytime a stored value within a preset is changed, you need to store the changes (with the Store button), or the changes will be lost. Changing presets, or turning the power off before storing any changes erases any edits made and the RP90 will revert to the stored values for the preset.
Storing/Copying a Preset
Once the preset has been modified to your liking, you may store your settings to any of the 50 User preset locations (presets 1-50). The following steps outline the procedure for storing changes to a preset or copying a preset to a different location: 1. 2. 3. Press the Store button once and the current Preset location will flash in the Display. This is asking you to select a new User Preset location where your new sound will reside. If desired, select a new User Preset location using the Footswitches. Press the Store button again to save the changes.
The procedure for copying one Preset to another Preset location is the same. Simply use the Footswitches to select the Preset that you want to copy, then follow the steps listed above.
1. Press the Store button; the Preset number flashes. 3. Press the Store button again to save your changes.
2. Select a destination with the Footswitches.
About the Models
The RP90 can be thought of as several different virtual amplifiers and individual, high-tech stompboxes in a single programmable package. With stompboxes, the order in which they are connected affects the overall sound. The RP90 has placed the Amp and Effect models in an order for optimum results. The following diagram shows the order in which they are connected.

Model Definitions
Each Amp and Effect model within the RP90 has multiple settings to select from. Use the Value Up/Down buttons to change the values for the selected Effect. The following overview of the RP90s Effects outlines the settings each Effect contains.
The Pickup Simulator provides the thick tone of a humbucker pickup to a guitar with single coil pickups, or the bright, edgy sound of a single coil pickup to a guitar with a humbucker. This gives you the best of both worlds without having to change guitars during a performance. Wah is an effect controlled by an Expression Pedal making the guitar sound as if its saying Wah. See page 32 on how to link the Wah effect to the Expression Pedal. The Pickup/Wah settings are: OF SH HS CB CY Fr Pickup/Wah is turned off. Makes a single coil pickup sound like a humbucker. Makes a humbucker pickup sound like a single coil. Dunlop Cry Baby TM wah model Vox Clyde McCoy TM wah Full range wah
A Compressor is used to increase sustain, tighten up guitars, and prevent the signal from clipping the input of other effects. It sets a maximum boundary for the strength of a signal. The settings for the compressor effect are: OF Compressor is turned off. 1-20 Level of compression and sustain. Ratio is set to infinity:1.
Amp/Distortion Models
The RP90 has 12 amp and 6 distortion models to choose from. Each model is identified by a single letter and has nine settings (for example, b1 through b9), except Acoustic Guitar Simulator and Direct, which only have one setting. As the setting increases, the amp/distortion gain increases. Each amp model has a cabinet model assigned to it as shown in the following list. OF Amp/Distortion is turned off. Amp/Cabinet Models t1-t9 Based on a 57 Fender Tweed Deluxe amp with a Fender Tweed Deluxe 1x12 cabinet b1-b9 Based on a 65 Fender Blackface Twin Reverb amp with a Fender Twin Reverb 2x12 cabinet P1-P9 Based on a 68 Marshall Super Lead (Plexi) amp with a Johnson Straight Celestion Vintage 30 4x12 cabinet H1-H9 Based on a 77 Marshall Master Volume amp with a Marshall Straight Celestion G12- T70 4x12 cabinet J1-J9 Based on an 83 Marshall JCM800 amp with a Johnson Straight Celestion Vintage 30 4x12 cabinet A1-A9 Based on a 63 Vox AC30 Top Boost amp with an AC30 TB Jensen Blue Back 2x12 cabinet r1-r9 Based on an 01 Mesa/Boogie Dual RectifierTM amp with a Johnson Straight Celestion Vintage 30 4x12 cabinet C1-C9 Based on a 96 Matchless DC-30 amp with a Johnson Straight Celestion Vintage 30 4x12 cabinet O1-O9 DigiTech Solo amp model with a DigiTech Solo 4x12 cabinet model E1-E9 DigiTech Metal amp model with a DigiTech Metal 4x12 cabinet model n1-n9 DigiTech Bright Clean amp model with a DigiTech Bright Clean 4x12 cabinet model u1-u9 DigiTech Clean Tube amp model with a cabinet model based on a Fender Twin Reverb 2x12 cabinet 23

The RP90s EQ helps further shape your tone with Bass, Midrange, and Treble controls. The EQ settings are: b1-b9 d1-d9 t1-t9 Bass tone control. b1-b4 cut bass frequencies by 12dB, 9dB, 6dB, and 3dB respectively. b5 has no boost or cut. b6-b9 boost bass frequencies by 3dB, 6dB, 9dB, and 12dB respectively. Midrange tone control. d1-d4 cut midrange frequencies by 12dB, 9dB, 6dB, and 3dB respectively. d5 has no boost or cut. b6-b9 boost midrange frequencies by 3dB, 6dB, 9dB, and 12dB respectively. Treble tone control. t1-t4 cut treble frequencies by 12dB, 9dB, 6dB, and 3dB respectively. t5 has no boost or cut. t6-t9 boost treble frequencies by 3dB, 6dB, 9dB, and 12dB respectively.
The Noise Gate effect includes two models: a Silencer gate and an Auto Swell gate. A silencer gate is designed to eliminate noise while you are not playing. The Silencer gates nine settings (g1-g9) determine the threshold, which determines how loud a signal must be before it can be heard. The higher the setting, the louder a signal must be in order to be heard. The Auto Swell provides an automatic volume swell effect. The auto swells nine settings (S1-S9) determine the attack time (how quickly the swell grows from the note you play). The higher the setting, the faster the swell grows. The noise gate settings are: OF Noise gate effect is turned off g1-g9 Silencer gate. g1 is the lowest threshold, g9 is the highest threshold. S1-S9 Auto Swell gate. S1 is the fastest attack time, s9 is the slowest attack time.
The Chorus/FX model actually contains twelve different modulation and pitch effects (described on the following pages). Each effect includes nine settings which include a variety of configurations that generally range from more subtle (lower settings) to more extreme (higher settings).The Chorus/FX settings are: OF c1-c9 C1-C9 F1-F9 P1-P9 t1-t9 n1-n9 b1-b9 Chorus/FX effect is turned off Boss CE-2 Chorus Dual Chorus Flanger Phaser Tremolo Panner Vibrato r1-r9 Y1-Y9 A1-A9 S1-S9 E1-E9 d1-d9 h1-h9 H1-H9 Rotary Speaker YaYa AutoYa Step Filter Envelope Filter Detune Pitch Shift DigiTech Whammy
Chorus A Chorus adds a short delay to your signal. The delayed signal is modulated in and out of tune and then mixed back with the original signal to create a thicker sound. The RP90 Chorus effect includes a model based on the classic Boss CE-2 Chorus and the Dual Chorus. Chorus settings are: c1-c9 Boss CE-2 Chorus. C1-C9 Dual Chorus.
Flanger A Flanger uses the same principle as a Chorus but uses a shorter delay time and adds regeneration (or repeats) to the modulating delay. This results in an exaggerated up and down sweeping motion to the effect. Settings are F1-F9. Phaser A phaser splits the incoming signal, and then changes the phasing of the signal. This signal is then taken in and out of phase and mixed back in with the original signal. As the phasing changes, different frequencies get canceled resulting in a warm sort of twisting sound. Settings are P1-P9. Tremolo A Tremolo effect modulates the volume of the signal at an even rate. Settings are t1-t9. Panner A Panner modulates the sound from left to right at an even rate. Settings are n1-n9. Vibrato A Vibrato effect modulates the pitch of the incoming signal at an even rate. Settings are b1-b9. Rotary Speaker Rotary Speaker is an emulation of a device that included a spinning horn and woofer. The rotation of these two speakers produced an interesting combination of the sound panning from side to side. This produced a slight pitch change due to the speed of the sound coming towards, and then going away from the listener. Settings are r1-r9.
YaYaTM AutoYa combines the characteristics of a Wah and a Flanger, creating an almost human vowel characteristic as if the guitar were saying Yah. Control the effect with the Expression Pedal. Settings are Y1-Y9. AutoYa Similar to the YaYa effect described above, AutoYa automatically provides this animation to the sound at an even rate. Settings are A1-A9. Step Filter The Step Filter is like an automatic random wah with a square waveform. Settings are S1-S9. Envelope Filter The Envelope Filter is a dynamic Wah effect that alters your sound based upon how hard you play. Settings are E1-E9. Detune A Detuner makes a copy of your incoming signal, takes the copied signal slightly out of tune from the original, then mixes the two signals together. The result is a doubling type of effect as if two guitars were playing the same part together. Settings are d1-d9. Pitch Shift A Pitch Shifter copies the incoming signal, then shifts the pitch of the copy to a different note.

US Airways Flight Attendants Seek New Talks After Strike Vote
TheStreet) -- Backed by an overwhelming strike authorization vote, leaders of the US Airways (LCC) flight attendants union plan to approach the National Mediation Board to seek another round of contract talks. In results announced Tuesday, of the 4,350 flight attendants who voted, 94%, or 4,100, backed a strike authorization, while 250 were opposed. US Airways has 6,700 flight attendants.Now, leaders of the US Airways chapters of the Association of Flight Attendants said they "will take our proposal for improved economics to the National Mediation Board -- backed by this strike vote," according to a letter to members from Roger Holmin and Deborah Volpe, presidents of the chapter's two master executive councils. "None of us wants to strike," they said. So far, the union has failed twice to win members' support for tentative contract agreements. In March, 71% of flight attendants opposed a deal, resulting in the ouster of union President Mike Flores and slight adjustments in the contract proposal. In May, the tentative deal failed by just 50 votes, with 5,527 flight attendants voting. The NMB has the ability to restart negotiations but so far it has failed to do so. The union's approach has been to rally member support in an effort to show the airline that it needs still more adjustments in the contract proposal, which is generally weighed towards higher pay and less restrictive work rules. "Our collective job is to continue to back this up," according to the letter to members. "Management needs to see every flight attendant with an AFA pin on and a 'Strike Vote YES' sticker displayed on our bags. We will be pressing the NMB for additional mediation dates to reach an agreement you can ratify. " Flight attendants last week staged demonstrations at four key US Airways airports. They still work under separate contracts despite a 2005 merger between US Airways and America West. A background issue has been that the airline, seeking a merger with AMR (AAMRQ.PK), has signed a tentative contract with American flight attendants, but has not signed one with its own flight attendants. While strike authorizations are common, strikes themselves are rare. US Airways spokeswoman Michelle Mohr emphasized Tuesday that a strike is not imminent. "The National Mediation Board has not released the union to strike and therefore there will be no operational or flight disruptions during the holiday travel season," Mohr said in a prepared statement. "The union has told our flight attendants that the strike vote is about positioning at the bargaining table and not about striking and the union has not requested that the National Mediation Board cease the mediation and negotiations process," she said. Over the past several weeks the airline has been concerned about inaccurate media reports suggesting that a strike could be near.

Employers in New Jersey won't have to adjust their plans, documents and policies to accommodate same-sex spouses any time soon. But Maryland may be a different story.
The New Jersey Senate on Feb. 13, and the Assembly on Feb. 16, passed a bill that would have made same-sex marriage legal in the Garden State. But as he had promised, Gov. Chris Christie (R) vetoed it on Feb. 17. He also expressed support for a statewide voter referendum on the issue. The New Jersey legislature has until the end of the session in January 2014 to try to override Christie's veto.
Not far to the southwest, Maryland's House of Delegates passed a bill to allow same-sex marriage in that state on the same day New Jersey's measure died.
Maryland's State Senate Judicial Proceedings Committee approved it in a 7-4 vote on Feb. 21; the full Senate, which approved a similar measure on Feb. 24, 2011, will next take up this year's bill. Gov. Martin O'Malley (D) supports same-sex marriage and has promised to sign the bill if it reaches his desk.
But even if the Maryland bill is enacted, that may not settle the issue. Members of the House of Delegates promise to pursue a statewide voter referendum on the matter, as well as an amendment to the state constitution to define marriage as occurring between a man and a woman.
What This Means for Employers
Employers and plan administrators in New Jersey may have dodged the bullet — unless the legislature overrides Christie's veto — but their Maryland counterparts may not.
Employers and plan administrators in Maryland would be wise to watch developments in their state. If same-sex marriage becomes legal there, they will have to adjust their policies and plan documents accordingly. But they also will have to contend with the added complexity of federal law and regulation not recognizing same-sex marriages while their state law does. That will spell administrative challenges for them, to say the least.

Brassard explains what he saw on his bad pass
In a game filled with Rangers' turnovers, one of the most obvious was Derick Brassard's second-period pass that was intercepted by defenseman Dustin Byfuglien and turned into rookie John Albert's first NHL goal - in his first NHL game - as the Jets won, 5-2, Monday night at Madison Square Garden.
Still catching his breath after coach Alain Vigneault - who immediately dropped Brassard from centering the second line to the fourth line as the result of his mistake - put the Rangers through a high-intensity practice today, Brassard explained what he saw on the ice and how Byfuglien broke up his attempted pass.
Brassard, standing near the right point in the Jets' zone, tried to go cross-ice with the puck but a stationary Byfuglien, maybe just a titch under two-thirds of the way across the ice, stepped up, took the puck and started the Jets in transition through the neutral zone, getting the puck ahead to Albert at the Rangers' blue line as the rookie broke in on Cam Talbot for a 2-1 lead, the Jets' second goal in 1:44.
"When I received the puck at the blue line, my first read was a four on two but I saw Richie (Brad Richards) on the far blue line and usually when we have a middle drive, the d-man is going to go with the guy," Brassard said. "Byfuglien, I don't know if it was obvious, but he just stood there. If I kept the puck there, it would be a two on one to the net with Cally (Ryan Callahan) or even a three on one because he just stopped there at the blue line. Usually, the defensemen, they're going to take the rush. It's one of those plays, if the pass goes through and we make a play, it's fine. But it can't end up in our net and I just need to make sure it doesn't happen again. It's like when a quarterback goes back and throws a pick, he focuses on the next play and that's what I'm trying to do."
However, Brassard admitted it's not easy to try to move on and forget.
"No, it's obviously not because you feel like you let your teammates down," Brassard said. "It's kind of your fault they scored a goal. On the bench, I was just trying to make sure I stayed confident and move on. I wish I could make a different play but that's the play I made. Hockey is a game of mistakes, there are a lot of mistakes in the game and everyone makes it, as players, they make mistakes."
Brassard centered a third line in practice today with left wing Carl Hagelin and Taylor Pyatt, that Vigneault cautioned may not be the lines used Thursday at Buffalo.

Home : Brands : Topix : Topix Gly Sal :
Tackling pimples is an issue that can continue for some people even into adulthood. Fortunately, there are solutions that you can choose to assist you in achieving and maintaining clarity. Selecting products that contain both salicylic acid and glycolic acid gives you a head start in dealing with breakouts that can mar the radiance and beauty of the skin. As glycolic acid exfoliates your skin to encourage fresh skin cell growth, salicylic acid opens up the pores that have become clogged with excess oils and impurities. Relying on each of these ingredients to create a powerful acne-fighting solution, Topix Gly Sal Products approach this type of skin problem with high performing formulations that cleanse the skin efficiently, freeing it from the buildup of oils and dead skin cells.
Offering easy to use solutions for the treatment of blemishes, each of the currently available Topix Gly Sal Products is highly effective. Of course, anyone who is new to this type of skin care formula, and to glycolic acid in particular, should start out with the Topix Gly Sal Products featuring the lowest concentrations.
To add one or more items to your bag, check the box to the left of each desired
item and then click the "Add to Bag" button at the top or bottom of the page. Items
are listed in SKU number order.
Maintaining clear skin doesn't need to be difficult, especially when you have so many incredible options available to you. The full line of Topix Gly Sal Products deliver quality solutions featuring high performing ingredients that take acne and put it in its place – away from your skin!
Designed for acne-prone and oily skin, Gly Sal 5-2 Pads feature a patented pad applicator that makes it so easy to cleanse your skin of excess oils and dirt. As this solution works to remove oils, it tones the skin.
Is your skin oily and prone to blemishes? Do you suffer with fresh acne breakouts constantly? If you can answer yes to either of these questions, then you are in need of the powerful formula of Topix Gly Sal 5-2 Cleanser. This highly effective solution tackles the issues that lead to breakouts, including the buildup of excess sebum and dead skin cells. The primary ingredients include 5% glycolic acid, 2% salicylic acid, zinc, and green tea extract.
If you are suffering with the shiny after math of too much oil production on the skin along with the accompanying redness of acne breakouts, you may need to incorporate a highly successful acne treatment into your skin care routine. The skin toning solution of Topix Gly Sal 10-2 Pads clears up your skin, returning its clarity through a blended formulation containing 2% salicylic acid, 10% glycolic acid, and witch hazel. If this is your first time trying a product with glycolic acid, you may want to try the 5% formula initially until your skin is acclimated to it.

Jan. 22, 2005
UPDATED: 4:25 p.m. PST
RENO, Nev. - Spokane's Brad Walker stole the show from his former UW teammates in Reno, Nev. Friday, taking the 2005 world lead with a career-best clearance of 19 feet, 1 1/2 inches at the NAPVA Pole Vault Summit.
Walker's vault won the Summit's men's Elite competition, which saw the top American men's and women's vaulters competing on intersecting runways on a ballroom stage at the Reno Hilton.
The two-time NCAA indoor champion defeated a world-class field including 2004 Olympic silver medalist Toby Stevenson, American record holder Jeff Hartwig, and 2000 Olympic gold medalist Nick Hysong, each of whom were eliminated at 18-4 1/2.
Walker graduated from UW in June with a bachelor's degree in business administration, before placing sixth at the 2004 U.S. Olympic Trials. The Spokane, Wash., native -- who continues to train with UW coaches at Dempsey Indoor in Seattle -- finished the 2004 season with the sixth-best mark in the world, a mark he has already improved in 2005.
"I had a lot of time on my hands after graduating to do things correctly, getting in early and sleeping well," he said after the Summit win. "I was coming in feeling ahead of where I have in previous years. With all these guys, all you can do is hope to jump as high as you can. Hopefully, I can only go up from here."

While Wikipedia contains a plethora of information, there are times where I wish I had never stumbled upon certain pages. Wow, that's just plain gross,or I really didn't need to learn about that, are usually my reactions. But sometimes, when I've stumbled upon something so grotesque and horrifying, I cringe and feel my skin shift, as if bugs were crawling up my legs and arms. The rat king phenomena is one of these times.
At some point everyone has gone through the frustrating task of untangling a mess of wires and cords. No matter how hard you try to keep them organized, to ensure that they do not become entwined, it happens. Now, imagine that those cords were not stationary, that they moved upon their own freewill. Churning, twisting, and always lashing about each other, they are bound to become nestled into a nest of twists that no amount of swears could undo. This, my reader, is the rat king phenomena, and I wish we had rat king Halloween props.
Rats are known for their long tails, and when a group of rats are stuck inside a small area, their tails become tangled. Since rats are not the brightest of creatures, they panic and continue to pull away from each other, often resulting in even worse tangles. Compound this panic with multiple rats, possibly ten to twenty, and your nest of tangled cords is now a moving, chirping mound of furry flesh, who eventually starve to death.
Historically, the term rat king was used not to reference rats, but for people who lived off others. During the Medieval era, the term referenced an actual king sitting on a throne of knotted tails, as if forcefully keeping individuals under his power. When individuals began to discover the actual rat-rail nests, they believed it to be one animal with many bodies, with the word king referring to the animal's size.
The earliest report of the Rat King phenomena was in 1564. Since rats are breeding grounds for diseases and the plague, these nests of tangled rats were viewed as very bad omens. The advent of the brown rat displacing the black rat in the 18th century helped to decrease the frequency of rat kings, but the phenomena has not been completely wiped out. The most recent discovery was on January 16th, 2005, in the Võrumaa region.

We're a day away from the start of the FedEx Cup Championship, but it's hard to have The Barclays on your mind when you're reflecting on this summer of golf.
Rory McIlroy broke off his engagement, then went on to win the British Open, Bridgestone Invitational and PGA Championship back-to-back-to-back. I bet Caroline Wozniacki is really loving all of this. Nothing like your ex-fiance taking over th...Read More
Is the guard changing on the PGA Tour?
Jul 9, 2014 3:45:46 AM
We're past the midway point of the PGA Tour season and to me it's been an interesting year. Both majors have been essentially blow outs, but have had underlying stories and drama to give them a boost. Tiger Woods has been gone with injury, or out of contention when in tournaments. The vital youth movement within the Tour is thriving, but not converting the big opportunities they've been given.
Wha...Read More
14 things I want to see at the 2014 U.S. Open
Jun 11, 2014 5:16:25 AM
The prestige of a golf major can be felt simply by looking at a calendar. It makes a four-day stretch pop out as if it was marked with golden stars on each of the dates.
I had to be reminded by my calendar that Sunday is Father's Day (sorry, Old Man), but I knew The U.S. Open was happening Thursday-Sunday without needing a reminder. My golf instincts (and probably the fact that I write and tweet a...Read More
THE PLAYERS 2014: Preview and Picks
May 7, 2014 4:27:53 AM
I have a special relationship with TPC Sawgrass that was forged through Tiger Woods video games and grows each year on my television. It's the first big tournament after The Masters, which means we get a great field playing on a course that is made for TV golf drama.
Someone is going to end up in the water on No. 17. It's a 100%, Grade-A fact. I, for one, can't wait to see who it is and how it aff...Read More
The Masters Notebook: Thoughts and reaction to Bubba's win and more
Apr 16, 2014 5:43:39 AM
When The Masters concluded on Sunday evening, I wasn't surprised to see Bubba Watson getting the green jacket from Adam Scott. Watson was simply exceptional in the final round and if there's one thing we know about Bubba it's when he's on, he's really, really on. That was the case on Sunday. He was super long off the tee, converted some risky shots into high reward birdies and never faltered.
As f...Read More

Guide to the 2013 U.S. Open at Merion Golf Club
Jun 12, 2013 9:53:47 AM
The 2013 US Open will return to Merion Golf Club for the first time since 1981. Starting Thursday, the current crop of the best golfers in the world will be treated to an old-school course rich in tradition, with closed oval-shaped baskets atop the pins instead of traditional flags.
Merion plays at just under 7,000 yards so golfers will not be challenged with length off the tee box this weekend, b...Read More

Hallo Kameraden!
To steal from Alistair Cooke's chapter on the opening of the Civil War..
In looking at the "views" to my five postings (Research 101 through 105), I have seen the following results:
Research 101 95 views
Research 102 65 views
Research 103 49 views
Research 104 53 views
Research 105 57 views
Perhaps by posting these in the RESEARCH ARTICLES folder, I have made a mistake by choosing a location not well known and not well or frequently visited by the AC Forum membership.
On a cynical, jaded, nasty, burned out day (following a nasty several day case of the flux), like today- I am concerned/worried/alarmed/ panicked/mortified/outraged/incensed and otherwise disturbed at the low interest in these "how to's" while all the while the quality and quantity of AC Forum postings declines and slides toward other fora with different missions, goals, objectives, and agenda.
Considering some of the questions being posted here on the AC Forum, this is outrageously POOR! (As it certainly cannot be the sophisticated and practiced level of research going on as is reflected in the posting...)
This could be a very scary predictor of a serious decline and fall here.
Or, it could just be my mistake in where I posted them.
So, assuming the positive and not the negative implications here- I am going to repost in in the three folders where IMHO, they best belong (leaving them as Archived or FAQ or Reference where they started out.)
Logging out for the night not wanting to be a Wachtmeister, nor a prophet!!!! (A prophet is never loved in his own land.)

Kinondoni legislator Idd Azan (CCM) has advised the government to make a quick research on the efficacy of the traditional therapy administered by retired pastor Ambilikile Mwasapila by sampling MPs and ministers who went for the 'cup' at Samunge village in Loliondo district, Arusha region.
According to him, there were several MPs and ministers who were reported by the media to have partaken of the therapy, hence it would be easy to establish the concoction's potency through their testimony.
"I think it would be wise for the government to hear testimies from our colleagues who have been administered the medicine because scientific research has taken long to complete," he noted.
Health and Social Welfare minister Dr Hadji Mponda said that it wasn't possible to depend on the testimonies from legislators and ministers for scientific purposes because the government's intention is to get scientific results from a sample of not less than 200 people.
He said that so far they had completed all the processes to start conducting the research, which would be jointly done by the Commission for Science and Technology (COSTECH), the government and the World Health Organization's (WHO) Africa zone based in Brazzaville.
Dr Mponda said the multi-centre study would involve 200 people and a research proposal had already been completed. He said the main hindrance to its implementation was lack of funds since it was expected to cost a lot of money.
"We would have started conducting the research but we are yet to access funds. I would like to appeal to the public and members of parliament to be patient while waiting for the scientific research results", he said.
Elaborating, he said that since the research was yet to be completed, it was not possible to know the exact number of people who had died owing to non-efficacy of the concoction since no deaths were being directly reported to his office.
The minister said that a total of 116 people were reported dead due to several reasons while at Samunge village, adding that some of them died while still in the queue while others died even before they were administered with the 'miracle' cure.
Dr Mponda said that the government made a follow-up on their deaths and discovered that the deceased had died from various health complications.
He said 43 of the patients were suffering from diabetes, 20 had high blood pressure (BP) while 17 patients were HIV/Aids positive.
Other patients and their diseases in brackets were 19 (tuberculosis), 6 (cancer) and 11 patients who died from unspecified diseases.
He said that earlier the ministry had conducted a research which showed that the 'miracle' cure was safe and fit for human consumption.
In his principal question, Temeke MP Abbas Mtemvu had wanted to get government clarification on the efficacy of the cure being administered by retired pastor Ambilikile Mwasapila.
The MP also had wanted to know the exact number of people who had died since the retired pastor started to offer the services.

Behind Giants, Sextet of NFC Teams in Traffic Jam
The defending Super Bowl champion New York Giants, 4-0 ahead of Monday night's game against the Cleveland Browns, are at the top of the NFC. Behind the Giants is a traffic jam of six teams with 4-2 records: the Washington Redskins, Dallas Cowboys, Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Carolina Panthers, Atlanta Falcons and Arizona Cardinals. And four of those teams arrived at that record after facing each other on Sunday.
The Cowboys have lost two of their last three games after starting the season undefeated–and as everyone's favorite Super Bowl pick–by falling 30-24 in overtime in Glendale, Ariz. "This L was a true team effort," Randy Galloway writes in the Fort Worth Star-Telegram. "Everybody who played was real bad, plus two former assistant coaches at Valley Ranch–Clancy Pendergast, the Cardinals' defensive coordinator, and Todd Haley, the offensive coordinator–eventually out-schemed those currently being paid by Jerry Jones. They did it with what is supposed to be inferior talent, but the more we see of these Cowboys, the more inferior they become."
Beating the Cowboys despite adversity showed that these Cardinals may be ready to return to the playoffs, Dan Bickley writes in the Arizona Republic. "They were victimized by a strange official, Pete Morelli, who took two touchdowns off the scoreboard," Bickley writes. "They were stung by the worst rule in football, the counterintuitive 'tuck' rule that allows quarterback fumbles to mysteriously vanish in thin air. They were victimized by their own failures and occasionally thrown off balance by the huge throng of Cowboys fans."
Like the Cowboys, their NFC East rival Redskins lost for the first time outside the division. Washington's loss was far less respectable, coming at home against the previously winless (and vying for worst-ever-team status) St. Louis Rams, and with Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice in the building, to boot. Jim Haslett improved to 1-0 as Rams head coach.
Like the Cardinals, the Redskins got few breaks. After setting an NFL record by committing no offensive turnovers in their first five games, Washington lost three fumbles in the 19-17 loss. "In the NFL, where the weekly pain is so harsh and constant, it's probably easier to flagellate yourself for not being quite motivated enough than it is to face a more likely, but unpleasant truth: You can batter your brains for three hours and give a respectable account of yourselves–as the Redskins did–but lose to a crummy team anyway because of stupid turnovers," Thomas Boswell writes in the Washington Post.
The Bucs beat the Panthers in large part because of three interceptions, each of which the Bucs celebrated excessively. "Each pick in Tampa Bay's 27-3 win over Carolina was followed by a 15-yard penalty," Rick Stroud writes in the St. Petersburg Times. "Kool and the Gang they are not. Forget the traditional methods of commemorating joyous occasions. High-fives, backslaps and confetti just won't do." After one second-quarter INT, "defensive tackle Jovan Haye tried to win the gold medal in floor exercise. Haye, the 6-foot-2, 285-pound defensive tackle, was so excited that he did a cartwheel at midfield. Seriously. All that was left was for Bela Karolyi to carry him off the field like Kerri Strug."
Bucs 38-year-old quarterback Jeff Garcia also deserves some credit for the victory. The Orlando Sentinel's David Whitley portrays Garcia's relationship with coach Jon Gruden as a soap opera: "Tampa Bay's jilted hero returned to save the day. But it put the big boss in a delicate spot, since everybody knows he really has eyes for somebody else, anybody else. Can this newfound affection last? Or will our story take another tortured turn, perhaps one involving gunplay and forensic evidence?"
The Falcons improved to 4-2, and prevented the Chicago Bears from getting there, thanks to a goof by the Bears defense in the final seconds. Atlanta, which won 22-20, needed "a pass between, roughly, the 25- and 35-yard lines, right along the sideline. Just that little area," Greg Couch writes in the Chicago Sun-Times. "That's where the Falcons threw it, setting up the winning field goal. The Bears knew where the play was going. They knew how the Falcons would get there. How could they not defend it? You want answers? Me, too. So I kept asking everyone."
* * *
Further down the NFC standings, the Minnesota Vikings moved into a tie with the Bears at 3-3 with a very unimpressive, 12-10 defeat of the winless Detroit Lions, made possible by a questionable pass-interference call against the Lions in the final seconds. After last Monday's mediocre defeat of the mediocre New Orleans Saints, Minneapolis Star Tribune columnist Patrick Reusse said the Vikings should never have to apologize for a victory. Now he's reconsidered: "Five days later, I would like to apologize for those 23 paragraphs. I also owe an apology to 'gogomezgo,' 'veegez' and more for hinting their posts at startribune.com were anything less than astute. While we're at it, let's insist that Sunday's audience in the Metrodome and the several hundred thousand Midwesterners watching on television receive an apology for the 12-10 victory over the Detroit Lions from Childress, from the 44 Vikings who participated, from the cheerleaders and from the entire Wilf family."
Those mediocre Saints managed to move to 3-3, as well, by crushing the Oakland Raiders, 34-3. San Francisco Chronicle columnist Scott Ostler wonders if young Raiders quarterback JaMarcus Russell's struggles are as much his fault as his inferior supporting cast's. "What if Russell is a scatter arm?" Ostler asks. "What if that huge right arm of his is a bazooka in the hands of Mr. Magoo? It's not like being the first pick in the draft guarantees you NFL success, as I mentioned Sunday morning to the waiter in the French Quarter serving my beignets, Alex Smith."
Smith is no longer the San Francisco 49ers' quarterback, but his replacement, J.T. O'Sullivan, has led the Niners to no better than a 2-4 record after the Philadelphia Eagles improved to 3-3 by coming back to beat San Francisco, 40-26. The Chronicle's Gwen Knapp blames 49ers coach Mike Nolan: "In a tenure full of disastrous moments, this game tunneled underground, creating a new low. A talent deficit that leads to blowout after blowout is demoralizing–but understandable, even tolerable, in comparison with a team that fades at the end."
Like the Eagles' win, the New York Jets' 26-14 defeat of the winless Cincinnati Bengals requires some caveats. "Granted, it was what can kindly be called a workmanlike victory over a team that started a quarterback out of Harvard and a wide receiver out of Mars," Newsday's Neil Best writes. "The former, Ryan Fitzpatrick, overcame an awful start to look not entirely terrible. The latter, Chad Ocho Cinco, had a pedestrian cinco catches for 57 yards."
Sticking with the wild AFC, where not a single team entering Sunday with a winning record was victorious on Sunday, the Houston Texans won their first game by ending the Miami Dolphins' two-game winning streak in wild fashion. Now Houston can fashion its own streak by beating the lamb-like Lions next week. "Maybe winning back-to-back games wouldn't be a big deal to the Patriots or Giants, but after losing 68 of their 101 games, the Texans are still taking baby steps," Richard Justice writes in the Houston Chronicle.
* * *
Giving hope to all recent expansion teams such as the Texans, the Tampa Bay Rays leveled the ALCS at one game apiece by beating the Boston Red Sox in Game Two, 9-8, in 11 innings. "They are the greatest story of this baseball season, maybe of any baseball season going back to 1969 and the Miracle Mets," Mike Vaccaro writes in the New York Post. "And for 6 1/2 months there has been a procession of skeptics waiting for the inevitable, waiting for the Rays to wake up, smell the coffee and spit it all over their uniforms. And we are still waiting. All of us."
The wait might be shorter if not for each team's manager's pitching strategies on Saturday. Tampa Bay's Joe Maddon has been defying typical bullpen-usage patterns, and that may have helped push the game into extra innings, Sports Illustrated's Ben Reiter writes.
Meanwhile, Boston manager Terry Francona goofed mightily by sticking with starter Josh Beckett for so long; the clearly ailing former ace allowed five homers and 13 earned runs in 9 1/3 innings in his two playoff starts against the Rays and Los Angeles Angels. "He is Joe Torre redux, a man with a deft enough touch to manage all the egos that permeate a team as talented as the Red Sox," Yahoo Sports' Jeff Passan writes of Francona. "He is the perfect manager for Boston. That said, Game 2 was Francona's 'Waterworld.' "
In the NLCS, the Torre-led Los Angeles Dodgers beat the Philadelphia Phillies, 7-2, on Sunday to narrow the Phillies' series lead to two games to one. In the Philadelphia Daily News, Sam Donnellon writes about Phillies manager Charlie Manuel's relationship with his mother, June, who died Friday at age 87. "They never had much, he said, but it felt like they had everything," Donnellon writes of Charlie and his nine siblings. "June Manuel made them feel that way, made them feel like they could do anything. Somehow they all played sports, too, all kinds of sports."
* * *
The West Coast bias played in USC's favor this Saturday, Chris Dufresne writes in the Los Angeles Times: Few poll voters saw just how unimpressive the Trojans looked in beating Arizona State, 28-0, and they were rewarded by moving up five spots in the coaches' poll. "Maybe USC should move the rest of its games to PBS," Dufresne writes. "Thank you, voters, mostly you coaches, for not paying attention."
Orange County Register columnist Marcia C. Smith was paying attention, and what she saw was the two faces of quarterback Mark Sanchez: The one that is dangerous to the opposing team, and the one that is dangerous to his own team.

Despite all evidence to the contrary heading into this series against the Arizona Diamondbacks, the San Francisco Giants possess the ability to hit … and field … and pitch. They showed off all three skills simultaneously during Sunday's 6-2 series-clinching win over the first place D-Backs, headlined by yet another outstanding six-inning performance by Chad Gaudin. Gaudin's second start as a Giant was even more impressive considering this:
Gaudin had a stomach issue all game. Said he threw up in the third and sixth innings.
— Andrew Baggarly (@CSNBaggs) June 9, 2013
Maybe there were Giants teams in the past that dealt with the same amount of problems with assorted viruses, and we only hear about it every time a guy feels sick because every semi-newsworthy tidbit gets posted on Twitter. But from the start of this season, we've been hearing about Giants getting sick. Andres Torres vomited during a Spring Training game. Brandon Belt lost several pounds at the beginning of the season after coming down with something ("the crud," according to manager Bruce Bochy). Pablo Sandoval got an IV before game he ended with a 464-foot walk-off home run. Now Gaudin is sick.
Forget ricin and anthrax; just scoop a couple tablespoons of sludge off the Giants' dugout floor after a game and send that to an enemy you'd like to poison.
Whoa, whoa, my apologies. Getting a little gross here, which is a shame because the game, in many ways, was beautiful. Gaudin and four relievers struck out 10 and only walked one, and that was an intentional free pass issued by Gaudin that allowed him to face Tyler Skaggs. The Giants started the game a flurry of singles and hit two home runs for the second straight game — before yesterday's win the Giants had only hit 16 home runs in 28 road games.
It was the defense that might have been the most surprising — and gorgeous — aspect of the Giants' overall game. Paul Goldschmidt was robbed twice on long drives, including an unforgettable catch by Juan Perez, who smashed into the wall and held onto the ball … not a bad way to end the first inning of your Major League debut.
After the game, Perez — who also collected his first big league hit on a single in the third — was interviewed by Duane Kuiper and Mike Krukow. He tried like hell to keep from smiling throughout the entire discussion, and it was damned near impossible. It rarely occurs in the professional ranks, but baseball sure is fun when players find it impossible to hide their true emotions.
Stolen BASGs
— I watched the first few innings of this game at Carmen's condo near AT&T Park, where she was celebrating her cat Clayton's third birthday. We brought our Pomeranian, who scared the hell out of the birthday boy when she ran toward him, sending poor Clayton sprinting under the bed. A cat's birthday ruined by a small dog — now if that isn't the most San Francisco "Stolen BASG" I've ever written, I don't know what is.
— There were two more spectacular defensive plays made by the Giants in the fifth inning. First, Joaquin Arias dove to his left to stop a sharp grounder off the bat of Gerardo Parra. The ball rolled a few feet behind him. Arias scrambled back, grabbed the ball and threw while pivoting on his right knee.
— Hunter Pence also collided with the wall to rob Goldschmidt and get the third out of the fifth. Except in contrast to Perez, Pence didn't make hard enough contact to send him sprawling to the warning track dirt.
— Pablo Sandoval is probably heading to the disabled list. Maybe he just needs a break of about two-to-six weeks in the middle of each season. Or, perhaps his weight puts extra stress on his bones, joints and ligaments. It could also be that he plays third base, a position not many can play at a high level for 150+ games per season. Whatever it is, the Giants are going to have to figure out how to keep scoring runs the way they have the last two games without one of their best hitters.
— Belt hit his first home run of the year against a lefty, but in his career he has hit eight against left-handed pitchers. Belt has hit a home run per every 43.8 plate appearances against right-handers; 29.8 PA per homer vs. lefties.
— Lots of Brian Wilson talk today from the broadcasters. During the pregame show, Marty Lurie asked Andrew Baggarly what he thought of a potential return for the man known as "Weezy." Baggs more or less said that ship has sailed in regards to Wilson playing again for the Giants. Lurie didn't quite agree, going as far to say that Wilson would have a decent shot at becoming the closer once again.
During the eighth inning, Jeremy Affeldt retired the first hitter he faced on a grounder to Marco Scutaro. "Scud and a ground ball, that's Jeremy Affeldt," Krukow said. About a minute later, Krukow said this:
"Just got a text message from Brian Wilson, who's watching the game. He said that Jeremy Affeldt's 'scud meter' is at 4,364. Now that's from his count."
(Krukow and Kuiper both chuckle a bit.)
"Great to see Willie's watching," Krukow said.
"I have a feeling Buster Posey might think that that number's a little low," said Kuiper.
"Happy to report that Brian Wilson is progressing nicely rehabbing his arm. And hopefully someday we'll see him in a Giants uniform again," Krukow said.
It makes sense that the broadcasters would like to see Wilson back. Wilson, regardless of what you think of his act, is great television and gives fans (and talk show hosts) something to talk about.
There was a little bad blood between Wilson and the Giants after they allowed him to become a free agent this year, so maybe Wilson's text showing that he's paying attention to his old team could be considered an olive branch of sorts. It's been said that as an employee of the team, Krukow sometimes says things that come straight from the organization, although this mostly refers to his appearances on KNBR's Murph and Mac Show. Are the Giants warming everyone up for a second act from the bearded one, or was Krukow speaking for himself today? With Santiago Casilla recovering from knee surgery, Chad Gaudin looking more and more like a starter and Ramon Ramirez looking pretty terrible this season, the Giants could always use another right-handed reliever. However, Wilson is coming off a second Tommy John surgery, and he isn't an ordinary right-hander for reasons both good and not so good.
