I want to start by saying that I really do love TNA and would love to see them become a competitive company that could only push the other wrestling companies (yes, I mean both WWE and ROH) to do better. I believe that TNA could be big it was not plagued by horrible mismanagement, massive power struggles, and a glaring lack of advertising. They have some spectacular wrestlers and performers on the roster, a solid arena to work from, and a TV deal – something that can be very hard to secure – and yet they can't get past a certain level. Some would even say they've slid backward in recent years. When Vince Russo is fleeing, it has to be bad!
Now, TNA would not have made it past that first year if not for Dixie Carter and Panda Energy buying into the company. The fact that they bought 71% of the company for $250,000 had to look good at the time. That would have been petty cash for Panda, but since then it has been quite the money pit. Dixie has the education, and appears to have done well in business – marketing, advertising – between working for other companies and running her own, yet she constantly seems to be at a loss to what TNA needs. A number of the more executive roles were filled by people who had made their name with Panda, yet that didn't even seem to help them.
Personally I think bringing in Hogan and Bisch was the biggest mistake Dixie could have made and she still doesn't seem to have realized this. I've stated over and over a lot of mistakes that I feel Hogan and Bisch have made, so I'm not going to babble on about those, but I will say that I'm disgusted at them for appearing to take advantage of an easy situation for themselves and their children. I wonder how they would handle things if it was their own money on the line.
Looks like there's even more upheaval in TNA this week. It seems as thought we can't turn around without something interesting going down. I don't want to go too much into it as Richard posted about it in Premium and it's not my place to say too much about it outside of that. But I will say that I agree with Janice that TNA is a serious money pit. I just wonder how long it will be before Mummy and Daddy pull the plug on Dixie's venture into professional wrestling.
Show Starts
Backstage Segment > A-
That was a great way to start Impact! I had my page all set up and ready to write about the opening video, html tags and all, but finally TNA gave us something new and interesting to start the show. I'm very impressed, and they didn't have to start a fire to get our attention!
Aries & King vs Roode & Ion > A+
Aries looked just sick in this match, but he always does. Aries might not be on my top five sexy list, but he is on my top five best wrestlers list and top five best performers list. I also love me some Kenny King in TNA. The double team work of these guys is just sick! The way Aries spun into the ring on Ion was just beautiful. Actually, there was so many great moves from Aries and King that I can't even name them all. This is as wrestling should be!
And why does TNA booking let Ion fly out of the ring onto anyone? The boy is not ready for this type of work and I flinch more when he flies than when Angle takes a bump to his neck! I was impressed with Earl taking a bump, but because it wasn't booked, he brushed it off.
Posting Dixie's Tweets would make sense if she was tweeting during the show, instead of posting Tweets she made much earlier in the day. The thing about Twitter is that it's face paced and up to the minute, but not for TNA.
What I will say is that Roode is dang good at playing the heel! The man knows what a tag match is about and how to work it in a way that makes it look mostly realistic. Then there was the end of this match – WOW!
Winners – Aries & King (15:01)
Video > C+
Taz made a bit deal about this recap starting, as if this was what we'd been waiting for all along. And the video wasn't bad, until the end where asked if Storm can be trusted! That was a bit much, even for TNA's need to be overly dramatic. I will admit I'm a bit burnt out on the recapping, and I'll try not to take it out on TNA, but I will be tough with them, as I am with the WWE.
Backstage Segment > B+
I love how Sting is more willing to ask questions than run on rumor. I was waiting for him to backhand Hervey, but I can't take my feelings for Bisch out on Hervey.
In Ring Segment > B
I find it very interesting that Storm is the name that's getting sucked into all this. Not many men could pull off that shirt Storm wore, and Storm's not one of them. Just a bit busy for him. But I will say he was really solid on mic, but he almost always is. Then there's Angle who holds up four fingers, but says Storm ran off eight guys. This whole thing felt a bit weak, though Storm sold it at the end with his mad face.
Video > D-
Yeah, now I'm annoyed. We're not even getting a real segment to carry the storyline, but we're getting the recap video. Weak, very weak.
Backstage Segment > C+
That scarf with those appletinis is getting to be a bit much. I will give Daniels credit for playing his character to the end! Can't say Kaz is believable, but that's Kaz for you. Baby shower? When was the last time we saw one of those in pro wrestling? I think it was when Lita was 'preggers' with Kane's baby. I seem to remember a picture of what the baby would look like – a terribly mish-mosh of Lita and Kane's face. What do Daniels and Kaz have up their sleeves.
BFG Series Match – Bully vs Robbie E > C-
It's rare that I want to see Bully come out of a match on top, but I just don't like the Robbie E character and what little they're letting him do in the ring. Actually, that wasn't very good at all for either of them. Where did Abyss/Joseph go? What happened to his feud with Joseph?
Winner – Bully (0:56)
Backstage Segment > D+
Earl looked a mess handing Madison those 'gifts'! He was quite bumbling, but Kim sure got the point. Actually, I thought Kim looked a little overly made up. Her skin was either too dark, or her eye makeup was off in a strange way. She just didn't look like the elegant Kim I adore, no matter if she's heel or face.
# 1 Contender Match – Tara vs Madison vs Kim vs Mickie > B-
Well I have to say this wasn't the best Knockouts match, but it was solid. The added interest between Madison and Earl made it that much more interesting. Earl only seemed to yell at Mickie for working on Madison, but let Tara work Madison over without issue. That I found rather odd. But what really brought me in was that superplex on Tara. Kim is about the only on I'd trust to hit a move like that. The blatant throwing of the match by Earl will be leading to interesting things, but it's crappy to see others get bent over the apron for the storyline.
Winner – Madison (7:26)
Video > C+
I will let it go as it's the top of the hour recap, but I'm not thrilled with all of these recaps.
Backstage Segment > B+
Roode is so great on mic. Aries as well. This is going to be a fun main event.
Backstage Segment > B
I have to admit that I enjoyed watching Sting talk to Brooke. She handled it pretty well. Even after getting the envelop, I liked how she removed the mic and took off. Honestly, I hate to admit all of that, but playing the worried and scared daughter worked. That's where she fits best, not as the executive in charge of Knockouts. I feel so strongly about that that I refused to even capitalize the job title when it comes to her.
Backstage Segment > B
Wait, EY's fishing show was on this past Monday, how could it be debuting this weekend? Either way, EY is a riot, and I loved that ODB is still waiting for her fried chicken. They are cheapening the Knockouts Tag Titles, and they need to be off ODBEY, but I do still like them together. I'm glad they've at least addressed the issue of them not defending the Titles and that EY is a dude. Hopefully something will come of it soon.
Chavito w/ Hernandez vs Kidd Kash w/ Gunner > A-
It was nice to see Hector on Spanish announce and Chavito grandmother in the audience. Beyond that, it was nice to see Chavito in the ring and really putting it all out there. Chavito is someone I have never seen live and I would go to a TNA house show just to see him – that is if they ever return to Maine! Kidd off the top was sick, but then Chavito getting his knees up was even sicker! Head scissors didn't lock up well for Chavito, but Kidd went with it. The way Chavito came over the top and rolled, then the three amigos followed by the 5 star frog splash brought tears to my eyes. I miss Eddie so much, but I'm so glad we get to see Chavito in the ring again. While putting him together with Hernandez is a bit of a cliché, I think they will be wonderful together and they're setting up for a nice feud with Kidd and Gunner. While this wasn't the best of matches, it was exciting and entertaining. I think I was a little loose with the grade because it was Chavito's return to TV in the ring. I'll get a bit tougher next time.
Winner – Chavito (4:43)
Backstage Segment > D+
Again, so much for not playing a character on Impact. And she's AJ's boss! As if she hasn't spoken to him. Too much of a farce for me!
Backstage Segment > C
I love the paper on that package Daniels was carrying. Wonder where I can find that paper? Sorry, chick moment, I'll recover.
Video > B+
I have to say I really liked the Hardcore Justice promo. The x-rays of broken bones, how they showed the wrestlers involved in the big matches. Not bad from TNA's production crew. There taking things a step up.
Backstage Segment > B
Wes Brisco? Interesting! Guy has a nice look. Wonder how he can go? Garett and Devon in was cool, but that strap over Devon's shoulder really looks like ass. Why are they showing that belt so closely on TV? ARG!
In Ring Segment > C+
I will say that Clair is doing well selling this pregnancy. Walking with her hand on her belly made it looked that much better, until she left the ring in a huff and seemed to forget to be pregnant. Daniels giving the audience a stay in school yell was great, but not as great as Kaz playing with the doll. Well, it was decent until she went off on AJ through the camera. I understand pregnancy hormones (not personally), but that was a little scary. I'm still calling that the baby has to be Daniels. Also, she hasn't gotten any bigger in the past weeks since she debuted on Impact. Either the baby isn't growing, or she's not really pregnant. Goodness, they wouldn't lie to us like that, would they? There were cute moments here, but most of this fell flat for me, even with Daniels being as on as he was.
Backstage Segment > A-
Yay, Joseph is back! Joseph and his using words such as kayfabe, too funny. When Joseph hit that black hole slam and forgot, I thought it was obvious where this storyline was going, and I think they're doing a great job with it. The only thing I don't like is that they seemed to have dropped the storyline between Joseph and Bully. Those two were golden together. Kayfabe, kayfabe, kayfabe!
Bound For Glory Leaderboard
1- Joe 47
2- Storm 45
3- Angle 41
4- Anderson 40
5- Hardy 28
7- Daniels 26
8- Magnus 21
– Bully 21
11- Pope 7
12- Robbie E 5
I have to say I find it interesting that Joe is ahead in the standings when they really haven't seemed to be pushing him much, but Storm and Angle who have been pushed are behind him.
BFG Series Match – Storm vs Angle > A-
I thought that all these guys were going to be ringside for this match, but they only slowly trickled in. I expected it to end up more like an unofficial lumberjack match. Beyond that Angle and Storm looked as wonderful as ever. Those two men can go!
Yay, ten seconds of wrestling and another set of commercials. I know it's to keep us interested, but I find it distracting as I want to get into the match.
Storm hit Orton's DDT, wonder if Orton is going to get pissy about that. Actually, it seems as though there's been a lot of passing around of bigger and more interesting moves lately. Storm hits a move like Jericho's code breaker. I just know some people have been complaining about stolen moves, and I wonder what else might come up from this.
Angle kicking Storm in the ring looked terrible! Okay, for anyone else I wouldn't have cared as much, but this is freaking Angle! That Storm lasted as long through the ankle lock, then hit the last call was sweet!
Maybe it's me, maybe it's the commercials that took so long, but this match just didn't hold me the way the opening match did, even though they were of similar lengths. I love and respect Storm and Angle, but they just don't have those jaw dropping moments that Aries, Roode and King do. So while a lovely match, it just didn't entertain or inspire the way the opening match did.
Winner – Storm +7 (13:44)
In Ring Segment > B+
So Aces & 8's didn't hit the ring and it's all Storm's fault. I guess it makes sense, and it would be a great way to turn Storm heel if they go this way. Either way, it sets up for an interesting storyline.
Post Show
There was over forty minutes of wrestling on this show. Knockouts, X Division guys, the WHC, Angle, Storm, and even Chavito. Two of those matches were over around the fifteen minute mark! While some of the storylines were a bit weak, they weren't all weak, so they did a solid job of surrounding the matches with things that worked. The baby shower wasn't the best, but not the worst, Joseph with Sting was just hysterical, and ODBEY made me smile, if annoy me for not doing something with their belts.
Speaking of belts, when was the last time we saw Devon defend that manky belt he's been carrying around? What happened to the TV Title being defended on every episode of Impact? I'm not saying that the wrestling we saw was bad, just that TNA isn't standing up and doing what they said they would. I know I shouldn't be shocked, actually, I'm more annoyed than anything. And then there's that belt. How are they not terribly embarrassed by the condition of that thing!

Within the new Obamacare law is a provision that critics say places their doctors, nurses, and hospitals in the role of arbiters in the push for more gun control. A previous Examiner report exposed that fact.
But many doctors are fighting back. They don't want to be gun control arbiters. They do not see such a thing as being part of their role as medical care providers. And even if they were forced into such a role, they see themselves as ill-equipped to make such decisions.
The doctors in particular cite statistics that do not match the government rhetoric concerning guns. Most "mentally ill" patients, for example, are harmless according to medical statistics gathered over a period of decades.
Herschel Smith of The Captain's Journal quotes Dr. J. Michael Bostwick of the Mayo Clinic:
"We physicians generally do not know enough about firearms to have an informed conversation with our patients, let alone counsel them about gun safety.
-- Even if every mentally ill person in the country were registered, the system isn't prepared to handle them — and only about half of the states require registration.
-- Only about 10 percent of mentally ill people are registered — and these are people who have been committed, they've come to attention in a way that requires court intervention.
-- Literature says the vast majority of people who do these kinds of shootings are not mentally ill — or it is recognized after the fact.
-- The majority of mentally ill people aren't dangerous."
If the vast majority of the mentally ill do not commit acts of violence with guns, and if most of the killers who commit horrific violent acts with firearms are not mentally ill at all, then why is the government targeted this sub-group for disarmament?
U.S. Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., and U.S. Sen. John Cornyn, R-Texas, have both supported and are currently pushing for a bill in the Senate that will strengthen the federal NICS gun owner database and make it easier to place the mentally ill on the lifetime gun ban list.
The futility of such a law is emphasized by Dr. Richard Friedman who stated,
"...there is overwhelming epidemiological evidence that the vast majority of people with psychiatric disorders do not commit violent acts. Only about 4 percent of violence in the United States can be attributed to people with mental illness."
And Dr. Barry Rosenfeld took a swipe at the new stringent gun control laws in New York by saying, "We're not likely to catch very many potentially violent people with laws like the one in New York."
The expansion of the mental health dragnet, thus, is due to one overriding motive. The government wants to get as many Americans as possible under psychiatric care with a mental health diagnosis so it can then justify taking away their guns.
The possibility for widespread abuse is astounding. The history of the 20th century, for example, is replete with examples of totalitarian governments that declared entire groups of persons to be mentally ill for various reasons, such as to conduct horrific medical experiments, robbing them of their rights, taking away their guns, and incarcerating them permanently.
These activities are well known and documented in places such as Communist Russia, Communist China, Communist Cuba, and Nazi Germany.

Traditional Boxing Day hunts took place across England on Wednesday, December 26, 2012. A ban imposed seven years ago states that foxes can be killed by a bird of prey or shot but not hunted by dogs. Hunts continue nowadays with pursuers accompanying dogs in chasing down a pre-laid scented trail. As hundreds of hunts met today, British Environment Secretary Owen Paterson claimed that moves to repeal the ban on hunting with dogs in England and Wales may not happen in 2013, although he insisted it was still the government's intention to give MPs a free vote on lifting the ban.

Visit the file and hit C-x h to mark the whole buffer. Then hit C-M-\.
First move to the brace which opens the block with C-M-u, then reindent that expression with C-M-q.
Emacs' convention is that RET just adds a newline, and that
C-j adds a newline and indents it. You can make RET do this
too by adding this to your
(define-key c-mode-base-map "\C-m" 'c-context-line-break)
This is a very common question. If you want this to be the default behavior, don't lobby me, lobby RMS! :-)
(c-set-offset 'substatement-open 0) in my
`.emacs' file but I get an error saying that
function definition is void. What's wrong?
This means that CC Mode wasn't loaded into your Emacs session by the
time the
c-set-offset call was reached, most likely because
CC Mode is being autoloaded. Instead of putting the
c-set-offset line in your top-level `.emacs' file, put it in
c-mode-common-hook, or simply modify
(setq c-offsets-alist '((substatement-open . 0)))
Use C-M-f and C-M-b to move over balanced brace blocks. Use M-a and M-e to move by statements, which will also move into blocks.
Invalid function: (macro . #[.... What gives?
This is a common error when CC Mode hasn't been compiled correctly, especially under Emacs 19.34(37). If you are using the standalone CC Mode distribution, try recompiling it according to the instructions in the `README' file.
It's due to the ad-hoc rule in (X)Emacs that such open parens always start defuns (which translates to functions, classes, namespaces or any other top-level block constructs in the CC Mode languages). See section `Left Margin Paren' in The Emacs Editor, for details (See section `Defuns' in The Emacs Editor, in the Emacs 20 manual).
This heuristic is built into the core syntax analysis routines in (X)Emacs, so it's not really a CC Mode issue. However, in Emacs 21.4 it has become possible to turn it off(38) and CC Mode does so there since it got its own system to keep track of blocks.

Still leaves skin oily
By Tried them All
from Prosper, TX
About Me Budget Buyer
Comments about Skin Balancing Ultra-Sheer Daily SPF 30 - 2 oz:
I use this daily in my morning regimen right before applying my foundation. My T zone will be oily by lunch time. I'm not sure if its not enough moisture so my skin is producing it to compensate or not. I will likely not repurchase. I have yet to find a product that controls my oily t zone fom 9-5.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Excellent Product!
By Very Happy Customer!
from San Francisco
I have very oily skin and was looking for a light weight moisturizer + spf that was good for my skin. I had tried hundreds of other brands in the past, until a friend recommended Paula's Choice. I love this product! It does everything it claims and it feels wonderful on my skin!
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Identical to PC4MEN Daytime Protect, but more $ for what?
By Benjamin the Unwitting Feminist
from Los Angeles, CA
This criticism goes for a number of PC products, but certainly includes this moisturizer. For a number of years, PC scoffed at the very notion of men's care products and lines, saying men's skin doesn't need different products because there's no appreciable difference between male/famle skin. I was suprised to see them eventually roll out a men's line of their own, the now ubiquitous PC4MEN line. Upon doing some research, I understood the idea that PC4MEN exists solely to encourage more men to utilize proper skincare products and simplify purchasing for them, but that each product has an identical corrolary in the regular non-men's PC lines. This particualar moisturizer is also sold as PC4MEN's Daytime Protect SPF 30 in the the same 2 oz. size. Only difference: It costs $4 less if you're buying the PC4MEN version. Look at any of the PC4MEN's line, find it's corrolary in the "female" version, and you'll see you've likely been paying more for the exact same thing in different packaging. Since the company bases it's product development on cold hard scientific fact and stakes it's reputation in research and realistic claims, and openly admits (well, semi-openly, buried in the FAQ section for each product) that the PC4MEN line is composed of products that already exist in the non-men's lines, one can only conclude that the price difference amounts to nothing more than a particularly cynical cash grab. Surely the newer, PC4MEN's line's packaging doesn't cost $4 less to produce, especially considering the economies of scale, it being the newer of the 2 versions. So, why are the ladies getting the shaft, yet again? (This is written by a male, just fyi...)
Customer Service Response: Thank you for sharing your thoughts here. Typically, the review section isn't so much for commentary, but we wanted to address your comments specifically. When PC4Men was launched just about one year ago, the prices were identical to any corresponding formulas in Paula's Choice. This was a few months prior to our price increase in some categories of products.This sincerely was not a decision that had anything to do with gender as Paula's Choice would never base pricing on such a factor.Secondly, your note of a Con that this formula doesn't provide UVA protection is incorrect. All sunscreens labelled broad-spectrum in the US (as well as the EU, Asia and Australia, where this is also sold) must meet or exceed a critical wavelength of 370 nm, which covers both UVA I and II. This formula and our other sunscreens meet or exceed this easily! We hope this helped answer your questions and concerns. - The Paula's Choice Research Team

Stings me too!
By Kelly
from NY
I bought the entire kit and this was the only product that was a miss. I keep trying it, but every time I do, it stings my face. I've worn facial sunscreen for years and have never had this problem with other brands. So, I'm back to using other brands, but otherwise love the kit.

Worth the try!!! :)
By Leanne N.
from Undisclosed
This was one of my very first Paula's Choice products. I never wore moisturizer with SPF because the first time I ever did that my face was so greasy and under my makeup I just looked super oily. I was a bit hesitant to even try this but after looking up tips about my skin type and reading reviews I decided to just try the product. I'm pretty in love with it! There is a semi-matte finish to it, or it just helps my oiliness a lot! People with oily skin should try this! Worth it!

Works nicely
By Crystal G.
I was on the search for a great daily moisturizer that's lightweight with SPF 30 that didn't clog my pores, aggravate my sensitive skin, or make my oily, acne-prone skin worse. This works nicely, isn't too heavy, and can be worn with or without makeup. The only complaint I have about this moisturizer is that it stings my eyelid area for about 30 minutes after applying. The tube also tends to leak a bit around the lid because the lotion is a bit runny.
Not Appropriate for Outside or Active Use
By Claire
Today was the first day I got to try this sunscreen out while wearing it outside most of the day and it was a disaster. I wasn't even that active (just sitting in the heat) but I was sweating, and all the sunscreen melted down my forehead into my eyes. The pain was incredible, almost unbearable. I've also noticed stinging around the eyes at other times. But the fact that this sunscreen can't survive being worn outside, which is what sunscreen is for, is really upsetting. I won't wear it again.

As close to HG as I've gotten
By Josh
Love everything about this bad boy, except the intense burning sensation when layered over an exfoliant. I would say that's my only caveat and perhaps a solution to some of the complaints from customers who got the same reaction and haven't made the connection. On its own, or over a soothing toner, it's divine. Love how effortlessly it sinks in with a powdery matte finish that whitens the pink hue of my complexion. It's just a pleasure to wear and the only SPF that improves my skin's appearance.

Not for me...
By Fanf from Paris
It was OK when I first tried a sample, but after few days using the full size, it caused me some breakouts (maybe too much silicon), so I decided I would not use it anymore and give it to a friend... I asked the customer service what product they would recommend (Clear SPF 30 did not exist yet at that time), and I was completely amazed when they informed me they would exceptionally pay me back, even if I could not return the product from France !!! Best customer service ever ! Thanks & BRAVO

For some reason this cream causes my skin to dry out, and it stings. For that reason it doesn't moisturise well, I don't have very sensitive skin so that was a surprise to me. Will be trying the hydralight one and see how that goes.

Leaves skin feeling tight, dry sheen
By Teghan B.
I wanted to like this as I ordered the full skin balancing kit, but was disappointed. It left my skin feeling very tight and dry, so uncomfortable. The finish isn't greasy, it dries a bit too much actually, but still manages to have a high sheen that showed even under my foundation. The whole point of the kit is to help balance so people with oily skin don't have the high sheen issue! This one was a miss for me.

This product stings my face. The more I used it, the more it stung, until day 3 when I just couldn't take it anymore. I'm guessing it's the sunscreen products, because I have noticed that different sunscreens sting my face. I'll be maybe looking for a moisturizer with physical, instead of chemical, sunscreen ingredients.

Best SPF moisturizer I've used
By Ruby
This product exceeded my expectations. It leaves such a soft and lovely finish.

More Matte than Any Other
Hurray! This is way more mattifying than the "Resist Daily Mattifying Fluid SPF 50." So it does not have "matte" in the name but does the job way better for my oily T-zone. I have tried at least a bottle of all of Paula's SPF lotions for combo skin, both newer and older, both avobenzone and mineral based, and this one is a winner for me. Also, I find that it stings less than the Resist Mattifying Fluid. Thank you!

Love This Product
By Iris T.
This is a great product. Doesn't leave a white cast and blends easily over my moisturizer. You don't need much, as seems to be the case for all of Paula's products. so it's long lasting. It's very light feeling on the skin. Thanks Paula!

I tried three PC moisturizer samples. I liked this one, but it still left me a little shiny at the end of the day, but not as bad as the Resist SPF 50 one. Again, it has a runny texture but it absorbs well. It also didn't dry out my face as much as the Resist SPF 30. I have sensitive skin and did not have any problems with it stinging my face or eyes. However, I wonder how this will do during summer, high humidity days.
Extremely irritating
By Kyle H.
I really wanted to love this product, I was in desperate need of a moisturizer with SPF that wasn't totally greasy, and this stuff does have a great texture, soaks in nicely and doesn't leave too much of a white cast, unfortunately for me almost immediately after I apply it my entire face feels like it's burning almost as if it's on fire, I really don't have sensitive skin so I'm guessing I have an allergy to one of the ingredients.
review after using all
By yooyoung j.
It was really perfect for oily t-zone skin. I felt my pores were tightened and it made my foundation applied well and even. The texture is like water. The skin tone became natural not white. BUT!!!! irritating!! ?? I'm not sensitive type but irritating!!!! I couldn't use it around my eyes. Everytime I applied it all over my face, I had to wash up my face. So I have used it only for my forehead and nose.
Great Stuff
By corinna b.
This is the second moisturizer I've ordered from PC. The first time, I got the SPF 30 "Skin Recovery" one. I loved it, but it was heavy and made my face greasy at the end of the day. This one was the most affordable on the site, so I tried it next. It's great! Same SPF, but no white cast, and NO greasiness. It's so light that I use another basic moisturizer underneath to add a little moisture. It's liquidy, so you have to be careful dispensing it. No smell. Smooth application. Wonderful product.
By bimbola p.
I think I've finally found my sunscreen. I have oily, acne and blemish prone dark skin so it's been a struggle finding the perfect sunscreen. I have a cabinet full of bottles I can now toss or just use on my body instead. Most leave a white cast and even the oil free ones still leave an oil slick so I can't wear make up. This dries matte, is sheer and I can wear my make up immediately afterwards. In fact on day 1, i found myself constantly touching my face to be sure I wasn't imagining it.

Love it!
By Mena M
Skin type: combination/oilySkin tone: oliveI have searched for years for something that would give me the protection I need without containing dimethicone, which breaks me out something fierce. When I opened the sample I was surprised at the liquid consistency, but I have to say I've grown used to it...in fact, I like it. It does look a bit chalky on the skin, but with a little rubbing it dries into a clear matte finish that keeps my face shine-free for 8 hours. Two weeks, no zits!
Pretty Good.
By Erin S.
I really like this moisturizer for everyday use. It's not too heavy on my oily skin and provides just the right amount of moisture. My only complaint is that it worked better around my eyes. Whenever I have tried it around my eyes, my skin feels irritated and uncomfortable.

Florida A&M coach Earl Holmes told The Orlando Sentinel on Monday that Tracy Martin, the father of Trayvon Martin, has been named honorary captain of the football team.
"He had some inspiring words and the guys played off of that," Holmes told the Sentinel. "And we're going to keep pushing for him and his (Trayvon Martin) foundation. He'll be an honorary captain for us this year and he's welcome any time."
"At the end of the day, whether it's good, bad or indifferent, a parent lost a child. He can live through us and we're going to push on for him," Holmes said. "That was a very, very powerful meeting and a powerful message he gave to the kids. You could see it ... the guys' eyes just lit up."

Along the row of eight craft beers at Lager & Vine Gastropub & Wine Bar is something that will get vino lovers talking. The new downtown Hudson restaurant, which opened June 11, is the first in Ohio to try wine on tap.
"It's a nitrous system [a pressurized keg fermented with carbon dioxide], so no air touches the wine until it's poured out of the draft system," says owner Cliff Cravens. "It's the best way to do it, only because there's no way the wine can get tainted."
A keg system eliminates the use of materials such as corks, cardboard boxes and glass bottles, making it more cost effective, says Cravens.
Lager & Vine offers four kinds of wine on tap for $5 a glass: King's
Estate's pinot gris and pinot noir, and Jim Neal Russian River chardonnay and cabernet sauvignon. Cravens is expecting to add 12 to 14 varieties as the idea sparks the interest of more local suppliers — he's convinced the concept is going to be the next big thing in Ohio.
"The wine on tap had a bad name because everyone likened it to wine in a box," Cravens says. "It's getting people to try it. Once they try it, they're hooked."

After Superbowl XLI ended police were out in full force looking for anyone driving under the influence.
"The DUIs are more than what we normally have, and the drug charges are more than what we normally have on a Sunday," said Tim Wilson, Warren County Jail sergent.
Wilson also said on a typical Sunday night the jail books anywhere from one DUI offender to 15, but by 11 p.m. on Superbowl Sunday they had already booked 10 people driving under the influence.

Thanks to the Breman Student International Research Travel Grant, Ryan Kobayashi (far right) and fellow Keck School student Grant Meyer (far left) spent time in Haiti working with members of a Haitian public health team (from left to right: Mackenzy Ambroise, Delince Pierre, Mackenson Gedna and Webert Constant) to research the link between childhood diseases and sanitation. (Photo courtesy Ryan Kobayashi.)
By Amy E. Hamaker
Second-year Keck School of Medicine of USC student Ryan Kobayashi got the opportunity to gratify his passion for global health when he and fellow student Grant Meyer spent eight weeks at an orphanage in Haiti last summer to pursue research on the link between childhood diseases and sanitation.
"We were able to work with the clinical staff in Haiti to analyze the relationship between people who get sick and their hygiene practices," said Kobayashi. "We created a survey that could accurately portray the attitudes and practices of the population we were studying, and did a hand washing promotion and education intervention as well. It was an amazing learning experience."
Kobayashi and Meyer's research took place thanks to the Breman Student International Research Travel Grant (a part of the Global Health Scholars Program), supported by Joel Breman, a Keck School alumnus ('65).
Breman spent his early career with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention studying infectious diseases while living in Guinea and Burkina Faso, West Africa. There, he worked on the global eradication of smallpox and control of vaccine-preventable diseases.
During his time at the World Health Organization in the late 1970s, he was responsible for orthopoxvirus research and the certification of smallpox eradication. He also investigated the first epidemic of Ebola hemorrhagic fever in the Democratic Republic of the Congo with an international team in 1976. Returning to the CDC in the 1980s, Breman worked on the epidemiology and control of malaria.
More recently, at the Fogarty International Center at the National Institutes of Health, he has directed programs training leaders in science and public health in poor countries while continuing research on the epidemiology, control and eradication of malaria and other tropical infectious diseases. Breman has written more than 150 articles and book chapters and edited several books on disease burdens, malaria and research capacity strengthening in low-income countries.
This background led him to fund the Breman Student International Research Travel Grant, which allows Keck School students to experience clinical, field or laboratory research in a foreign country. Grants range from $2,000 to $5,000. Travel and research in a foreign country must be at least eight weeks, and a scientific report is required.
"This grant represents my great esteem for the Keck School, which gave me the tools to function in often difficult and uncertain conditions," said Breman. "Students and the school are, increasingly, global citizens. Collaborating with foreign colleagues and institutions on medical problems of mutual interest strengthens all parties. I'm very pleased to support this opportunity for students."
"The grant is based on Dr. Breman's wishes to give students international research experience rather than a straight clinical shadow," said Alejandro Sanchez, visiting assistant professor of clinical medicine and director of the Office of Global Health at the Keck School of Medicine. "The project can be very diverse. Previous recipients have traveled to the Amazon to determine the effectiveness of a particular book's use in the field by village leaders with no medical training, and have researched the depression stigma within an HIV community in Africa."
Sanchez believes that exposing students to different cultures is mutually beneficial and makes them more compassionate and informed doctors. "Issues that affect another community can have repercussions in the United States," he said. "Their problems are our problems.
"Dr. Breman is a real Trojan," said Sanchez. "Dr. Breman is a true believer in teaching the next generation through this grant."

The nearly famous garbage can filled stop signs at the intersection of Woodin Avenue and Columbia Street could soon be a thing of the past.
ChelanCity Officials have announced a plan to hire a consultant to help finalize a permanent design- replacing the current eyesore, that Chelan City Administrator, Paul Schmidt says was intended to serve as a pilot project.
Mayor Bob Goedde agrees, adding that the 3-way stop configuration has proven successful- however, the garbage cans need to go.
City officials expect the Chelan City Council to select a consultant for that three way stop sign project during their next council meeting, which is scheduled for this Thursday, at 6pm in council chambers at city hall."CLICK HERE" for Audio"CLICK HERE" for Audio

REDEFINE Night Renewing Serum is one way to see how a fragrance-free retinol product works for you, and this one, because it's in capsule form, ensures that the retinol remains potent before you apply it. The silicone-based formula will leave all skin types feeling silky-smooth, and a peptide was included to make this more than a one-note product.

Bad choice for Acne Prone Skin
By Sarah
from texas
Best Uses
Comments about Rodan and Fields Redefine Night Renewing Serum:
I have acne prone skin and am sensitive to retinol. I use Paulas Choice retinol booster and clinical retinol treatment with no problem. I decided to try Rodan and Fields Redefine Retinol treatment with the roller tool. The treatment is FULL of silicon. After one use, I woke up to scaley skin with tiny blemishes. It took about a week of using my Paula's choice products to get my skin back in shape. I tried it again a few days later and again... my skin look noticeably worse the next day. Never again!
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Love this stuff!
By meagan
from undisclosed
I've been using the Redefine system from R&D for 2mo and have noticed a huge difference. Skin is firmer and lines/ scarring have decreased w the roller. It was supposed to be a 2 month supply but I still have plenty left. I actually only use half a serum capsule at a time so I'm able to stretch the value a bit! I especially love the Redefine AM lotion. The SPF is enough even when I've been out in the sun all day. I was skeptical of product due to high cost at first but now I'm an R&D believer!!
Use it if you want silky skin!
By Anonymous
My skin feels like silk after I use this stuff. I love it!

Renew your skin while you sleep!
By Alesha Yankie
I have been using the night renewing serum for 2 weeks. I just turned 30 and have began to see the effects of aging! I should have started sooner with a skin care line to address the signs of aging but I am starting now with Rodan + Fields and so far love the products! There is a 60 day money back guarantee so what do you have to lose!

My skin did not like this
My skin did not like this. I broke out with cystic acne and had a scar for 6 months. This has happened to me from Philosophy retinol products, too. I seem to be only able to tolerate Neutragena retinol. R&F products are very overpriced. I used to use Proactiv and liked the price and results, so I was hoping that I would like this.

I started using the Rodan Fields night serum capsules and immediately loved the way they felt on my skin! After 2 weeks I had noticeable improvement on my wrinkles around my eyes and especially on my forehead. I will continue to use these and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a night serum that feels great, isn't oily or greasy, and provides results pretty much right away
Each REDEFINE Night Renewing Serum capsule contains a potent, proprietary blend of peptides and retinol to visibly improve skin texture and firmness and reduce the appearance of wrinkles.

Rodan + Fields At-A-Glance
Strengths: Two fantastic skin-lightening products with hydroquinone; a well-packaged retinol product; every sunscreen provides sufficient UVA protection; some fragrance-free options.
Weaknesses: Expensive; jar packaging hinders effectiveness of several otherwise impressive products; sunscreens should contain more bells and whistles for the money; eyebrow-raising amount of products with irritating ingredients.
Many of you are probably familiar with physicians Katie Rodan and Kathy Fields from their appearances on infomercials about their successful ProActiv line of anti-acne skin-care products. The Rodan + Fields supposedly therapeutic approaches are advertised for those suffering from a variety of skin conditions, and are claimed to work for anti-aging, skin discolorations, sensitive skin, and acne.
Lots of consumers believe that dermatologist-developed products will be the answer for their skin-care woes; but, in two words, they aren't. After reviewing dozens of so-called doctor-designed product lines, including this one, we can tell you there are no miracles to be found, and often there are some problematic products to steer clear of. Overall, many of these lines are quite comparable to other product lines without the physician headliner credentials and exorbitant prices. (Shockingly, Rodan + Fields' acne products are virtually identical to their ProActiv products, except that these cost more. We assume they thought no one would notice; perhaps they are right.)
Many consumers want simplicity when it comes to making decisions about what skin-care products they should use. The Rodan + Fields marketing strategy is to make it simple. They eliminate the confusion about what products work together by creating streamlined, prepackaged product groups, each aimed at specific skin-care concerns. Each product group is enclosed in a clever, take-along parcel that is the skin-care equivalent of a sack lunch. (Products are also available separately for those who want to customize their routine or add products outside the predetermined routines.) This structured approach has merit, but, as you will see from the reviews below, each routine has at least one questionable or lackluster formulation, or a problem with packaging. Considering that these are really pricey products, this is not good news.
Rodan + Fields does deserve kudos for being one of the few cosmetics companies to list the ingredients for each product on their Web site. It's a major help for beleaguered, savvy consumers who care about this detail. Still, it would have been better all around if they offered more thoughtful, less problematic formulas.

"Mackinac Island Page" Mackinac Island by rossandkelli
Mackinac Island Travel Guide: 188 reviews and 384 photos
What a Unique little island! No motorized vehicles allowed, horses and bikes only!!
The island is full of old homes and B&B's, horse drawn buggies line the street's and the distinct combination smell of manure and fudge will be with you for days!
The island is situated between Michigan's lower and upper peninsula and is close in driving time to many other destinations.
We have visited every year for the past three years, although we went by boat a vehicle is just as easy. Ferries take you from either Mackinac City (LP) or St. Ignace (UP). Once in the area you can visit Harbor Springs, Charlevoix, Traverse City and Bay Harbor. There are many other great towns to see as well but these are our favorites. Each is small, quaint, great shopping and food, has marina's with everything from small fishing boats to 200' yachts.
Both land and water are beautiful!

According to documents filed on Feb. 14, 2014, Casey Anthony has a hearing set in the Zenaida Gonzalez trial scheduled for March 4, 2014. Gonzalez is suing Anthony for damages she alleges occurred as a result of Anthony's claim that she last saw her daughter after leaving her in the care of a woman by the same name. During a Feb. deposition, Anthony chose to plead the fifth or refused to answer multiple questions regarding the death and disappearance of her two-year-old daughter Caylee. The March hearing is to determine whether Anthony will be compelled or forced to answer questions regarding Caylee's death and disappearance.
Anthony was charged with first-degree murder for the June 2008 death of Caylee Anthony. The state of Florida argued that Anthony suffocated her daughter by placing duct tape over her mouth. Anthony's attorneys argued that Caylee Anthony drowned in the family swimming pool. Casey Anthony was ultimately acquitted on all charges related to the harming and/or death of her daughter.
In addition to the Gonzalez suit, meter-reader Roy Kronk has also filed a suit against Anthony. Roy Kronk is the man who ultimately discovered Caylee Anthony's remains, yet was berated by Anthony's attorney and grilled on the witness stand. No criminal charges were ever filed against Roy Kronk and he was not a suspect in the case. Both civil suits have been held up in bankruptcy court as Anthony's team hopes to have both cases dismissed due to her lack of finances. Anthony contends that she never singled out the woman suing her and never stated that she was the woman who had been with her daughter, therefore she isn't responsible for any harm to the woman's reputation.
Gonzalez' camp counters that their client was familiar with the apartment complex Anthony told authorities she had last seen her daughter at, thereby indicating an association with their client and the woman of the same name Anthony spoke of to authorities.
What do you think about the civil suits against Anthony? Do you feel they are warranted?

Chris and Kismet Mayo, with the help of Brookings-Harbor Chamber of Commerce, cut the ribbon, to officially open their new business. The Pilot/Lorna Rodriguez
Mayo Denture Center was welcomed to the Brookings-Harbor Chamber of Commerce Thursday afternoon with a ribbon cutting ceremony.
"It's an official welcoming by the chamber, and we provide it gladly," Brookings-Harbor Chamber of Commerce President Les Cohen said.
Members of the chamber and the community attended the ceremony.
Mayo Denture is open from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday, and is located at 1041 Chetco Ave.
The center opened Nov. 1.
"Opening my own place is a dream of mine," co-owner Kismet Mayo said. "I grew up in this business. It's always been my dream to continue in my family's footsteps."
The center, which is owned by Kismet and her husband Chris Mayo, offers complete dentures and partials, relines and repairs, as well as implant retained dentures.
"We're the only denturist in the area that does implant retained dentures," Kismet said.
Chris and Kismet opened because the service is underserved in the community.
"It's a service that Brookings needs," Kismet said. "It's my goal for everybody to know that we're here. To know that we're affordable and have quality."
Kismet grew up in the area, worked as a nurse for 20 years and has degrees in Denturism and Advanced Dental Pathology. Chris is a nurse.
"I've done it my whole life. It's rewarding to me," Kismet said. It can be very life changing for a patient who is not able to eat."
Cohen said the chamber is thrilled to see people like Chris and Kismet come back to Brookings.
"We're really excited about that," he said.

Looking for one last novel for the school year? Want a companion novel study that costs you nothing in time or cash? The Disappearing Dog Dilemma might be the perfect choice. Seventh grader Gabby St. Claire unleashing her sleuthing skills to sniff out whoever's behind the missing mutts but time management, worrisome weather, a part-time job, and a new crush interfere with Gabby's investigation.
This book is the second in the Gabby St. Claire Diary series by Chesapeake, Virginia author Christy Barritt and is suitable for readers fourth grade and up. A novel study based on the book is available as a free download as is one for the first book in the series, Curtain Call Caper which topped the Children's Detective book chart on Amazon March 24, 2014.
Mystery novels are perfect for teaching and developing prediction skills, a key component of fluent literacy and comprehension. According to Reading Rockets, a website funded by the U.S. Department of Education and the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, 40% of all students find reading difficult. Good readers, on the other hand, naturally draw on what they have already read to predict what will happen next.
Using anticipation guides, like those provided in the novel studies, make it easy for parents or older siblings to assist a reluctant or struggling reader. Each of the Gabby St. Claire novel studies contains graphic organizers, projects, vocabulary work and discussion questions.
Check out previous articles about mystery party games, free graphics for teachers and Curtain Call Caper.

"It was good to have practice in the stadium today because the situation work in the stadium gives the players better reference points. We have gone from learning the routes to putting the plays together to understanding why the plays are put together," Mackovic said.
Mackovic also had some praise for the Wildcat offensive line following today's practice, and he was encouraged by the play of the UA receivers.
"I want to salute the offensive line. We only had five players on the line today, and they did an excellent job of improving from Saturday to today. I am also starting to see the kind of improvement that we need to have with our pass protection," Mackovic said.
"I thought today was the best day that we have had offensively with the receivers and the passing game overall," he added.
The Wildcats are scheduled to return to the practice facility on Thursday afternoon for their 14th session. Arizona is allowed 15 spring practices under NCAA guidelines and will conclude spring drills with the Spring Game on Saturday, April 21, at 1 p.m., in Arizona Stadium.
"We have gotten a lot done during spring practice," Mackovic said. "We went pretty light early on, and now we are able to go heavier at the end. It will be good for us that we will be able to go hard the last four days of practice."
