Dreary weather and icy roads kept some from attending the Jaffa Shrine's 31st annual Sports Show on Friday, but many expect crowds to pick up through the weekend, possibly even leading to a record turnout.
Vendors on both floors said business was slower than expected but steady and that they were glad to be there.
"There's still a backlog of vendors," said show Co-Chairman Paul Johnson.

Johnson said that some vendors from the indefinitely postponed Eastern Sports and Outdoors Show in Harrisburg tried to squeeze into the Jaffa show and others like it at the last minute, but for many, booth space was filled.
He said he hoped vendors lucky enough to snag a space will come away from the show with a good impression and encourage other vendors to sign up early next year.
Upstairs, Steve McNamara and Jeff Eisaman of Centerpoint Safety, Training & Protection said they were expecting a big influx of people today, but that business has been good, especially given the political climate.
"Our product is [gun-safety] training, and we're happy with the interest," McNamara said.
Eisaman said with gun control talk in Washington, D.C., people are "going and buying a gun, and they've never shot before."
Luckily, Eisaman said, many also are using services like Centerpoint so they know how to use their firearms.
Workers at JnD Guns downstairs said within the first three hours of business, they'd sold 50 PMAG magazines, which are designed for M4, M16 and AR-15 firearms.
Johnson said JnD is the only licensed weapons dealer at the show, with most other firearm-related booths selling accessories.
The show is more generally geared toward outdoor sports in general, and there is no push to get into the politics of gun ownership, Johnson said.
One of the biggest draws will be speakers, he said, covering topics from bass fishing and duck calling to wildlife trapping and photography.
They'll be the most exciting part of the weekend, he said.
Booth workers at Zimmerman Enterprises said they suspected the Harrisburg outdoors show had a lot to do with people going to smaller, more localized sports shows, and business has been good.
With warmer weather coming, they're expecting bigger crowds Saturday.
Judy Barrett at Aunt Carol's Gourmet Dips said she expects there will be so many people at the show today that she won't be able to keep up.
She's even got something for the outdoorsmen, she said.
A recipe for venison meatballs using her Bruschetta olive oil mix was published in a cookbook, and she's happy to supply customers with one of the key ingredients.
Eric Whitten of Sir Grant Charters said crowd size at the two other shows he rents booth space at had smaller turnout than he expected, but he thinks a general interest in all things hunting, fishing and camping will bring people in today.
Groups of families and teenage couples milled around booth displays Friday evening.
Some stopped to buy food, others were leaning over T-shirt displays and most kneeled to pet the various Labrador puppies on display - whether as bird dogs or pedigree breed - in most of the downstairs aisles.
The crowd might not have set a record yet, but Whitten said today will be the bellwether to measure the show's success.
"Tomorrow's gonna tell everything," he said Friday.

HANOVER – The town is preparing to make several improvements to the wastewater treatment facility.
Letters will be sent to all people who own property in the district in early March. Supervisor Todd Johnson said property owners can expect to have several opportunities to ask questions of Town Board members or town officials about the scope and nature of the work.
At Monday's board meeting, Johnson said the work will be done in four phases with no expected service interruptions. He said construction crews will work around the summer schedule that brings hundreds of residents and visitors to Hanford and Sunset bays.
One of the major improvements will be upgrades to the processing system and changes that will compress waste instead of having it dry in beds. Johnson said the improvements will give the town room to bring in more customers to use the waste water system.

Genomics accurately predicts class rank
Genomics accurately predicts class rank
"I became a believer in genomics when I saw how it consistently predicted how young, nonprogeny-tested bulls would rank to one another," Charlie Will, manager of Select Sires' Holstein sire selection group told those attending Wisconsin Holstein Association's Genomics Forum on July 21. "In the past three years, we have learned that the numbers may change slightly when young bulls get progeny proofs, but the rank to one another rarely changes," he said. Will then went on to show examples of how genomic predictions accurately predicted TPI (Total Performance Index), health traits, and type rank among bulls before and after progeny test information. "Genomic-tested bulls in the top quartile might shift around some, but they never drop to the low quartile. Likewise, genomic tested bulls in the bottom quartile never come to the top after progeny test."
One-time genomic skeptic Tom Schmitt of Morningview Holsteins in Durango, Iowa, now believes genomics is an effective tool after seeing it work on his farm. He initially began using the selection tool after it became apparent it was the only way he would continue to secure A.I. contracts for young males, but now he believes it is a tool he cannot go without. "There was a pair of three full sisters on my farm. After I got the genomic predictions back, the test told me the shorter sibling, with the round shoulders, but showing plenty of strength would be the best of the flush. I just didn't believe it at first, he said. "Then they calved. The genomic test was correct; that short heifer ended up having more strength and width, a higher, wider rear udder, and simply gave more milk," said Schmitt. "Today I use the genomic test to sort out which heifers I will work with in my flush program. It has been very accurate."
"Producers can use genomics to do much more than fill A.I. contracts," said Jay Jauquet, a regional sire analyst with Alta Genetics and whose family owns a 300-cow dairy in Pulaski, Wis. "If you want to breed for high wide rear udders or some other type traits, the test will sort out those individuals, as well," he went on to say to those attending the Wisconsin meeting. "We tested some full siblings, and the genomic test told us that a red heifer had extreme predictions for rear udder height and width. When she calved in for the first time, that held true."
For those who have worked with and followed the genomics story and the science unfold since 2008, you know the technology is a work in progress. The staff as USDA's Agricultural Research Service's Bovine Functional Genomics continues to find new ways to improve the test and its predictive power. The team believes they are getting close to finding genes that control heat stress among some other innovative traits. All this progress does mean one thing predicts Curt Van Tassell, who heads up the genomic project, "Generation intervals will continue to drop, and the time elite cattle stay on the top of lists will drop. We may never see another bull like Oman stay on the top of a bull list for multiple years."

On Tuesday, my kids came home from school with mixed emotions about the results of the school election that was held to help them learn about their civic duty.
They had the choice of voting for Mr. Respect or Mr. Fairness, students who had put together platforms, performed debates at assemblies and run fairly sophisticated campaigns.
Mr. Respect, my son's choice, had promised soccer goals for the playground. I'm sure he promised other things, too, but my boy is a single issue voter.
Mr. Fairness wanted a school garden, and my daughter, who knows about such things, was into that.
Mr. Fairness won the election, and my son came home not just disappointed but worried. He was convinced that he had not only lost the chance at soccer goals but that his new school president was going to plant that school garden in the middle of the existing soccer field and ruin my boy's favorite thing about school.
I'm not making this up.
Wednesday morning, I got on Facebook to find a very similar conversation happening among adults.
I get it. I really do. I admire passion and conviction. That is what I told my boy that his passion and conviction about issues near and dear to his heart are admirable and essential to democracy. That it was OK to be disappointed that the majority didn't think soccer goals were quite as important as he did.
Democracy sometimes does mean having to go along with a majority that disagrees with you. But there's no reason, I told my boy, to imagine a miserable future in which someone plants tomatoes in the middle of your soccer field. The sky is not falling.
Elections are an important piece of democracy, but they are just one piece. I reassured my boy that because he is lucky enough to live free in our great nation, he can still work for those soccer goals even though his candidate lost the election. He can write letters to the principal or the governor or even President Obama asking for soccer goals. He can organize petitions. Make posters. Stand next to the swing set and give a speech demanding action about this soccer goal thing. He can (heaven forbid) start a robocall campaign.
In some countries, I told my shocked and horrified kids, people don't have those freedoms. In some countries, if you disagree with your leaders, you could be put in prison (or worse). In some countries, elections mean war.
Being an American means you have the freedom to express dissent no matter who your leaders are. We as a nation are united by our belief in that freedom, even if we disagree on other issues. It's amazing, and it's historically and geopolitically rare. For most of us, patriotism is more important than politics. It's why we all, blue or red, touch our hearts when we say the pledge of allegiance.
Please, I told my kids, don't ever take this freedom for granted. Don't give up on your country, or your beliefs, or your school playground, based on the results of one election. As a citizen of these great United States, you have a responsibility not to.

Donna Carnevale Horwitz – a Buffalo native and the daughter of a local baseball legend – was sentenced Thursday in a Florida courtroom to life in prison for fatally shooting her former husband.
A jury deliberated two hours before finding Carnevale Horwitz, 66, guilty as charged in the fatal shooting of Lannie Horwitz, 66, a University at Buffalo Law School graduate.
Under Florida law, her first-degree murder conviction required an immediate sentence to life in prison.
"She can rot in hell," Tootie Horwitz Kaplan, a first cousin of the murder victim, told The Buffalo News Tuesday night.
Kaplan said her family is still trying to find out who made the 911 call that brought Jupiter police to the Horwitz mansion shortly after the shooting, about 7 a.m. Sept. 30, 2011.
The murder case played out like a Hollywood movie script.
Though the couple was twice divorced, they were living together in Jupiter, Fla. when the shooting occurred.
During the murder trial, defense lawyer Grey Tesh unsuccessfully suggested to the jury that the couple's son had killed his father.
Radley Horwitz, 39, now stands to collect on his father's $500,000 life insurance policy, Kaplan said.
Lannie Horwitz was an honors graduate of UB Law School and practiced law in Florida, New York, Michigan and the District of Columbia.
For four decades, he developed and managed Florida real estate and was a distributor for LifeMax health products.
He was found on the floor in his bathroom early, shot multiple times.
Kaplan told The News that her cousin was about to fly to Europe with a female business associate.
Police initially classified his death as a suicide, a determination they quickly changed.
When arrested Oct. 6, 2011, Carnevale Horwitz at first refused to talk to police and demanded a lawyer. She has been jailed since.
The Horwitzes divorced in May 2001 but remarried that same year, only to have Carnevale Horwitz get her own residence in December 2001. Their second divorce was finalized in June 2002 but the couple moved back in with each other soon after.
According to Florida police reports, two handguns were found in the Horwitz mansion after the fatal shooting and both displayed evidence of having been fired the day of the murder.
Radley Horwitz told police he awoke Sept. 30 to the sound of gunfire and his mother screaming.
In closing arguments last week, prosecutors suggested Carnevale Horwitz shot her ex-spouse out of jealousy.
No defense witnesses testified at the trial.
Tesh, Carnevale Horwitz' attorney for the past two years, could not be reached to comment about a possible appeal.
Carnevale Horwitz' late father, Daniel J. Carnevale, who died in December 2005 in Buffalo at age 87, was well known in Buffalo baseball, having been a player, manager and scout for more than 60 years.

HARPERS FERRY - The coffin in the back of Ron Nowell's truck slid off into the middle of a busy Ranson street. Although he found himself trying to explain there was no body inside to the police and highway department, Nowell is used to unusual events happening each year as he and his crew of volunteers find themselves dragging bags of bones and other odd items around town during Halloween.
"They seriously thought there was a dead person in there," Nowell said with a laugh as he retold stories of things that happened over the last 19 years during the preparation for the Haunted Fairgrounds, a haunted house held at the Jefferson County Fairgrounds.
More than 100 volunteers, many of which are local high school students, donate their time and efforts to make the haunted house possible.

Journal photo by Michelle Horst
Ron Nowell's Haunted Fairgrounds event brought in $12,500 which was all donated to local charities in Jefferson County just in time for Christmas.
Every October, the event raises between $12,000 and $18,000. Over the last 19 years, the Haunted Fairground has donated more than $150,000 to local charities. Minus operating expenses, each and every cent is donated to charities in Jefferson County.
In addition to returning a portion of the funds to the Jefferson County Fairgrounds, the $12,500 from this year's event went to the Kiwanis of Charles Town's Santa's Toy Shop, Community Ministries Food Pantry and the Panhandle Free Clinic. Representatives of each organization were presented with checks Wednesday evening at a ceremony held at C.W. Shipley Elementary in Harpers Ferry.
Nowell, previous president and current CEO of the Country Roads Car Club, sponsor of the event, said it all began simply because he loved to scare people, and wanted to use that to find a way to raise money.
"I started with two other people who have been with me for 19 years. One is Dick Ernst and the other is Peggy Mills. We all like Halloween - we all love Halloween," Nowell said. "This is basically a Christmas gift for all these charities. We are doing this to make sure the organizations get what they need."
Michele Goldman, executive director of the Eastern Panhandle Free Clinic, said this money is available for general operation use, unlike much of the grant money she receives, which is program focused.
"To me, the beauty of this is it's raised in such a way that people do it by having fun and then they give it to help people in the community. In our case, it helps save lives," Goldman said.
Robert Shefner, executive director of Jefferson County Community Ministries, said this donation helps his organization with food, financial giving, utility and rent assistance, gas vouches and medicine.
Jan Doughtery of the Charles Town Kiwanis said she plans to buy more toys with the donation.
This year's theme for the Haunted Fairgrounds was horror movies.
Karl Boyd has been building monsters for the haunted house for the last eight years, and begins planning with his wife Angel, Ernst and Nowell in April. He said the group begins thinking all year about floor plans, scenes and what theme they plan to have.
"It takes us about a good month to build everything," Boyd said.
Next October will be the 20th year for the Haunted Fairgrounds, but Nowell said he has not yet began to think about what 2013's haunted house will hold.
"We are about Halloween-ed out right now. About spring we will come together and starting hashing it out to see what ideas we can come up with to make the 20th even better than the last," Nowell said.

Jamie Shotton is one of the inventors of Human Skeletal Tracking—he works in Microsoft Research Cambridge and dropped by the states, and our studio, to chat about this great invention. Human skeletal tracking employed in Kinect is a great example of collaboration between MSR and Microsoft product teams. The Kinect team provided a significant amount of the basic research of this technology in addition to implementing it in the shipping product. MSR provided some of the basic science research. Great partnership. Incredible product!
Oops, something didn't work.
awsome, and technical too. great work tina! if only it was longer
how a bout a GD followup?
Source code or it didn't happen...
Somewhat lousy interview, come on Tina, the geeks needs feeding.
We actually like to know how it works the more details the better.
What about how it handles disappearing limbs, ex. hide your arm behind your back or another person/object blocking the limbs ?
I know aL_ I feel like I could talk to some of these peeps for days but sometimes we're just limited on time. I will start reaching back out from questions for you guys on some of these.
I got ya Mr. Crash. Thanks for the feedback. I'm not a developer but I will do my best to reach out to developers before hand for questions so you don't feel left out.
I thought the core principles of skeletal tracking were addressed and the time it took to understand them was expedited. Thanks, Tina.
The link to Microsoft Research is incorrect, it should be

I was in line at Staples a few weeks back, when I noticed that the woman ahead of me was picking up some photographs that she had mounted on posterboard. They were of Labrador retrievers in various settings.
One in particular caught my attention. It was a chocolate Lab, with a Neoprene vest, on a stand just above water level, at the base of a Bald Cypress, in the middle of a Cypress Swamp. It was duck season and this was clearly a dog enjoying his work.
His expression was of studied focus as his pale green eyes seemed fixed. He appeared to strain against the confinement of the vest and was ready to explode off the stand at the first duck to fall.
I introduced myself, and commented that the picture was stunning. I asked if this was her dog. "Not exactly," she replied. " I am with Lowcountry Lab Rescue. These are some of our dogs that were adopted and the pictures are for a fundraiser we are holding." I told her that the photographs were beautiful and to call me if I could ever be of help.
Sooner than I would have expected, she did. She explained that she had a male, black Lab, about 5 years old. He appeared to be a stray, who had been hit by a car, and had a broken leg. I told her that we would be happy to see him.
When he arrived, we learned that his name was Ford; we speculated that this is the make of car that hit him. Ford was a wonderful boy. His beautiful full frame and square head cut a regal silhouette, suggesting an animal of fine breeding.
Closer inspection indicated a picture of prolonged neglect and possibly abuse. His skin was rough, and he had a large, infected, laceration on his head. As the exam went on, the findings got worse. It was apparent that trauma was not the cause of the severely swollen and dysfunctional limb. It was a tumor. Large and destructive. X-rays showed a mass that was consuming the bones that comprise the knee.
This news is bad enough in most cases, but in a case where a rescue organization has to put up precious resources to treat a single animal, who possibly has an aggressive tumor and only a few months to live, the news would come as a death knell.
The board deliberated and made the logical choice. They would give him some time with them, restore some dignity to a discarded life, and then, humanely, put him to sleep. The only one blissfully unaware of the gravity of all this was Ford. As I was hearing the decision, I was looking at him, standing in his run, on three legs, big broad smile and tail wagging.
Our technicians all took to him immediately. His demeanor and personality were infectious and he savored every bit of the love he was given.
It just seemed too sad and unfair that this dog who radiated boundless joy, love and optimism, could be in this situation. For all that is right, this dog should have been someone's once in a lifetime special dog. That person would have surely taken the chance to treat him, even if the odds were against him, fighting for a pal. But fate had landed Ford without that kind of patron. He had lived a life of neglect and now it was over.
We could not let this happen. I called back and offered to absorb more of the cost. They were delighted. Imagine how hard it is for someone who loves dogs enough to start a rescue organization to have to make these kinds of decisions.
In addition to the discount, I also discussed the possibility that this tumor was not as bad as some. That you never know. We may get lucky and have a low-grade cancer that can be cured with an amputation. They were more than willing to take the chance and the decision was made to amputate the leg.
I have come to realize that there are two distinct groups of people and that will never change. In the Veterinary world, "the cup is half empty" people, are "the patient is half dead" crowd. Always willing to concede defeat. Often underestimating the power to heal and overestimating their ability to predict outcomes.
Then there are "the cup is half full," or "the patient has half a chance" people. I count myself among the latter. We, too, are at times, wrong. But the rewards we have yielded by going the extra yard, far outweighs any regrets for having tried.
Each case is different, and there is always a weighing of the odds of success against the physical and financial toll of a procedure. Sometimes there is just the feeling that it's the right thing to move ahead.
I had that feeling about Ford and reckoned that if I was wrong, the worst that would happen would be that he would be rid of a painful leg for whatever time he had left and he could spend a slightly expanded final act in the environment of love that he deserved.
I anxiously read Fords biopsy report three days later. Success! It was benign and he was likely cured by the procedure.
So, now Ford awaits adoption at Lowcountry Lab Rescue, to begin his second act with someone who deserves him and who he deserves.

With the goal to reduce euthanasia in animal shelters, the Humane Society of Weld County was awarded a $10,000 grant.
Typically, when animals are taken to the shelter after something like being hit by a car, shelters can not treat them due to a lack of funding.
But after complying with requirements and proving that its goal is to reduce euthanasia, the Humane Society of Weld County submitted an application to the Colorado Pet Overpopulation fund and received the grant for the second year in a row.
In 2012, the Humane Society of Weld County saved 92 animals, and this year with the grant, the organization hopes to save about 120.
Those who purchase an "adopt a pet" license plate contribute to funding for the Colorado Pet Overpopulation fund, which was created in 2001 to help with the overpopulation of pets and to reduce euthanasia of surplus, unwanted, or abandoned dogs and cats.
The CPOF reports that more than 26,000 homeless pets were euthanized in Colorado last year.
Since its establishment in 2001 as a tax-deductible charitable tax check-off, the CPOF has awarded $1.6 million in check-off grants to subsidize more than 45,000 pet sterilization surgeries in Colorado.

Dubai gets jiggy with the 'Harlem Shake'
Harlem Shake fever has caught on in the UAE with people from schools, universities and offices across Dubai compiling their own versions of the viral Internet craze.
A video titled 'Do The Harlem Shake SAE Dubai - Da Fak Habibi' was filmed at the SAE Institute in Dubai and posted on YouTube on Monday.
Students of the Indian High School in Dubai, The Millennium School and the Canadian University of Dubai have also uploaded their own versions of the latest Internet dance craze.
A 'Dubai Harlem Shake' event is also set to take place on Friday morning at the open beach next to Burj Al Arab.
"Lets create the biggest one yet .... you all saw or heard this on youtube .... THE HARLEM SHAKE thing. so it all takes one min to make ... all we need to do is to be there on time ... so invite your friend your parents .. you grandparents .. even your gold fish .. anything goes. Lets beat the new york one," said a post on the 'Dubai Harlem Shake' facebook page.
"Invite your mates even if ur not comin ... Shooting will start at 10 am .. be there earlier," the post added.
Harlem Shake is a popular style of hip hop dance and the title of a 2012 heavy bass instrumental track produced by DJ and music producer Baauer. The Internet meme was originally established in a video uploaded on February 2.

Every gardener should be able to find space for a plant that is drought-proof, evergreen, propagates itself, grows well in sparse, poor soil, has interesting flowers, tolerates zero temperatures and has more than 3,000 named cultivars.
This marvel is the Sempervivum, also known as hens and chickens or house leeks.
An alpine succulent from the Crassulacaea family, it originated far above sea level in mountainous regions of islands in the Mediterranean or other parts of central and southern Europe. About 50 species have been identified, with a wide range of forms, sizes and colors.
The leaves form a rosette shape, and when grown in full sun may vary from green to brown, yellow, orange, pink and red. In shade, they will remain green. The leaves may be matt or glossy, some with a waxy bloom. There are cultivars that grow fine, white hairs, just like the ones that appear in my comb, while others grow silvery bristles along the leaf margins and tips.
Blossoms usually are yellow, pink or red and star-shaped. Sempervivum are monocarpic, meaning each rosette can only flower once, and then dies. This disadvantage is offset by the large numbers of offsets they continually produce.
Easy to grow in most soil types, the plants will do well in troughs, planters and rock gardens, even in crevices in a stone wall with a modicum of soil. The true house leek, Sempervivum tectorum actually grows on cottage roofs in parts of northern Europe, and was believed to protect the dwelling from lightning and thunderstorms.
Sometimes a large patch of hens and chicks will take over a neglected patch of ground, and there are attractive uses for the surplus because they do well inside. Because they can go for a long time without water, they make excellent plants for a terrarium, and so many varieties are available that a wide range of colors can be included.
It is possible to create a living wreath suitable for indoors or outside, with little skill needed. I have a book, "The Living Wreath" by Teddy Colbert, published in 1996 by Gibbs Smith Publisher, that explains how to create 50 different wreaths using live plants. This is a nice book to look through on a cold winter day, but there are a few drawbacks to following the directions and actually creating a beautiful wreath.
The principal one is the author wants to sell you her wreath form. I'm sure it is ideal for the purpose and efficient, but also very expensive. It is made of three wire wreath forms wired together and filled with potting soil, the whole thing wrapped in sheet moss, which is bound with copper wire.
I think I can make my own version, which will not be as durable, but should work.
I am going to use a grape vine or a straw form, and cut holes every few inches with a sharp pruner and insert the smallest peat pots in the spaces. Filled with fine potting soil, and kept regularly watered, I think it will work.
I may need to use some of the copper wire Teddy recommends to hold the thing together, and if I use enough plant material, the wire will be covered.
In addition to the Sempervivum that suggested the idea to me, I plan to use any other succulents such as sedums and crassula I come across. I will report progress here, and even take a picture if it is successful. I have just bought a digital camera, and aside from the fact I need to take a course in technical writing in order to comprehend the online manual, I am hoping for better pictures than the blurry efforts that come from my phone.
Because semper vivum is Latin for "always living," I have great hopes.

Sometimes it is hard to fill up those long winter afternoons when everyone is itching to be outside playing instead of stuck inside.
At our house, we decided to pass the time by painting. I went out to the garage to get my craft box (because we don't have a single spare storage place inside the house!) and found frozen finger paint ...
So I decided to be crafty and make my own.
The first recipe I tried was a fail. The "paint" was lumpy and the colors were very blah.
I found another recipe online, though, and it was awesome. I had all three ingredients at home and it only took about 10 minutes to make.
It isn't something you would want to use all the time (it didn't really dry well), but the texture was great and the colors were very vibrant. My son had a ton of fun painting, and the clean-up was easy, too.
I even got in on the painting action!
Cornstarch Finger Paint
1/2 c. Cornstarch
2 c. Water
Food coloring
Combine cornstarch and water in a sauce pan and stir over high heat until it boils. It will thicken very fast! Remove from heat.
Spoon the clear paint into several small containers and let cool completely.
Once cool, add food coloring to create desired colors. You don't need much; it takes the color really well.
Paint away! Clean up with soap and water.

Love the product, don't like packaging
Review By:Carter Hood on 7/14/2016
I absolutely love this serum, however I can never tell how much I have used and feel like I am ordering every couple of weeks. Would love to buy again but am going to wait for different packaging.
Review By:Liza Galletti on 5/25/2016
I use this with my other Stem Cellar products...it leaves my skin so hydrated!!! Smells great. I am purchasing another one already!!
Love the product! Hate the packaging!
Review By:Brooke on 10/3/2015
I got a sample of this product about a month ago and I still have some left in the little sample bottle! I love this stuff! You're never too young to start preventing/treating your skin:) I keep it healthy and looking young with JB's products!! However, I would not buy this product unless they change the packaging. I want to be able to see how much product I am getting and be able to get the rest out when the pump doesn't pull it out anymore.
Most effective Booster Serum ever!
Review By:Marla on 6/18/2015
After I use the Cleansing Oil I put on the Juice Beauty Stem Cellular Booster Serum, both day and night! I've been using it for about a month and have had such good results that friends and people I meet think I'm in my 20's . . . lol, I am almost 53. It also feels good to know it's not only good for my skin and body, but it's organic! I've been able to quit wearing foundation! Love Juice Beauty Stem Cellular Organic products!
It works!
Review By:Sutton on 6/13/2015
Just try it and see for yourself! You'll LOVE this!
Review By:Sarah on 6/12/2015
I have very sensitive skin, especially with skincare that has antiaging properties in it. This Stem line is the first anti aging line that i have been able to use eithout an exzema outbreak and actually works! Has a nice after feel and smells nice.
Sensational Serum
Review By:lotionlover on 6/11/2015
I adore the stem cellular booster serum as it hydrates and revitalizes my skin leaving a radiance and glow by penetrating to a deeper level. A little bit goes a very long way!
Fast Results
Review By:Margaret on 6/11/2015
This serum lives up to its name. This Booster Serum is fantastic! I noticed results within a week. My skin feels smother and super hydrated. Good value compared to other serums I have tried in the past and better results!!
Best Serum
Review By:Lisa D on 6/11/2015
This product is so amazing. With in a few days my skin was so much healthier. People tell me I look 10 years younger than I actually am. Well worth the cost and it lasts a long time too!!
Awesome Serum

Stem Cellular Booster Treatment
Review By:Gay Thompson on 6/11/2015
I love the feel of this product, absorbs readily and then I apply Stem Cellular Cream. Great product.
Great serum!
Review By:Jonni on 6/11/2015
I have sensitive skin and this is the first serum that I have used that did not irritate my skin after time. My fine lines and wrinkles are filling in with its continued use and my skin looks plumper and firmer. Just Love Juice Beauty.
Terrible packaging
Review By:Sandy on 5/28/2015
I bought this product at Ulta. Used it about three times and it stopped working. My husband had to finally use a reciprocating saw to get it open. To my surprise, where was the serum. The bottle is large but the serum was only a few inches. I will not buy again for this reason and will go back to Clinique serum, which at least you can get open.
Loved the product, packaging needs improvement
Review By:deb on 5/14/2015
I used the JB Booster serum for months, and really loved the product. However, I agree with a previous reviewer that the packaging is much less than desirable. I always felt like I wasn't able to use all the product, and it was wasteful. I still use JB moisturizer and absolutely love the CC cream! They've been great for my face. But I did find another organic serum to use, due to the aforementioned concern. I didn't start using the JB eye treatment for the same reason (packaging). If JB changes the packaging, I'd definitely come back!
Review By:Carol on 5/4/2015
The packaging is flawed. I bought 2 of these and both have malfunctioned. Unfortunately the 2nd one is totally full! Good product but flawed container. I will put in a call to customer service today, however, I will not buy this again until the packaging changes.
Good Product / Terrible Packaging
Review By:Yulia on 3/29/2015
It's a nice product esp when used with the CC cream. However, i will not buy it again until the packaging is changed - it is wasteful every which way as some of the high end packages of JB are - but this one you can't even crack and fill into another container. Wast of plastic, waste of product. Unsympathetic for an otherwise lovely company. Response from Juice Beauty: We are so sorry you had a less-than-ideal experience with one of our products. We would love to hear more about it. Please email us at email@example.com or give us a call at 1-877-473-0236 8am-6pm PDT M-F.
Review By:Jennifer on 3/24/2015
I have been searching, for months, for an organic facial regimen that works and that isn't too expensive. Well, I have finally found it!! I am in LOVE with the entire stem cellular line. Works even better than the costly products that are made with nasty chemicals!
I Love This Product!!
Review By:Kristine on 10/16/2014
I have been using this product for about a month now and I just LOVE it. My skin is honestly firmer and better textured than it has been in a long, long time. My fine lines are less noticeable, too. This is a great line of products...I also use the eye serum and the brightening pads. Love all of it because it works and it is cruelty free and organic. Wish there were more colors in the make-up line...coral lip color would be great!
Great Serum to discover and very satifsfied
Review By:Edna on 9/15/2014
I definitely love the feel of the serum and how it absorbed into my skin. Since I've used this product, I have received compliments that my skin looks like a 20 year old though I just turned 60. I know it sound like an exaggeration but that's really true. I feel fresh and my skin tight. I will definitely be using this from now own. A lot of savings for as I have used a lot of expensive serum. I will also be recommending this to my sister, cousins and friends.
Review By:Katie on 9/8/2014
The best face serum I have tried, and I have tried many high end face serums. This one absorbs quickly, doesn't dry out the skin around the nose, like some serums do, and it actually makes the forehead wrinkles a lot smoother! A must buy.
fantastic product
Review By:Mary S on 9/8/2014
The stem cellular booster serum makes a awesome difference in my skin. My skin is brighter, the texture is smooth, wrinkles are softened. I wake up in the morning and I feel beautiful......what a way to start the day!
Love this product, hate the packaging
Review By:HTF on 8/25/2014
Absolutely wonderful product, does wonders for my 69 yr old fair skin. However will not buy it again until you change the packaging. Agree with all of the other people who have complained about the packaging. It makes no sense for a company like Juice Beauty to sell this product in this type of container. Would definitely be a 5 star if the packaging was improved.
Review By:Bmore on 8/6/2014
I've tried many Juice Beauty products and love most of them. This serum did not do much for my skin. It seemed to sit on top of my skin and not provide any benefits. It did not sink in to hydrate and just floated on top leaving a filmy dullness to my skin. Rather disappointed. The antioxidant serum works better for me and is much more bang for the buck. I also love the peel and the CC cream is the absolute BEST on the market.
Great product but Deceptive Packaging!
Review By:E.M. Stevens on 6/30/2014
I love this product, but was glad to see that others noticed the deceptive and wasteful packaging. I had to take a hammer to discover there is less than 2 inches of actual serum in this large container which costs $75. I am very disappointed that Juice Beauty would engage in such harmful environmental practices and outright deception.
Marvellous Product, Wasteful Packaging
Review By:kat on 5/27/2014
I've used this product (alongside the Stem Cellular moisturizer and eye treatment) for almost a month and my results are pleasing, so far. This product has a lovely texture and subtle scent and my skin feels smoother and tighter. I've had a few compliments on my "glowing skin" since I started using the Stem Cellular line. What disappoints me is the packaging. I was surprised to reach the end of the serum so quickly and realized that only a tiny vial of serum is housed in a heavy outer tube that's about a half-inch thick. Absolute WASTE! This makes me feel the company is not only going against it's "Eco Values", but is deceiving the customer. Am I paying $75 for the idea that the weight of a package equals quality/luxury? I'm not sure I will pay this much money again for a product that I thought would last much longer.
Love this!
Review By:Sonia on 1/29/2014
I love the improvement of my skin from using the Stem Cell Repair Serum! My skin is so much more hydrated & pores are minimized! I also love the fact that it's so pure & toxic free that I was able to use throughout my pregnancy. I always get random compliments from strangers or questions about what I use on my skin and I let them know it is Juice Beauty products. Thank you Juice Beauty for helping me look my best.
Helps Me Lie about My Age.....
Review By:Abigail on 1/28/2014
OK, I admit to having mature skin….and needing a boost! For those of us who need just that bit more… more moisture…more lift…more brightening…this is it! In the past i used other vit c preparations and they always helped. Unfortunately those products always became an orange brown as they oxidized….and my skin became orange brown as i used them. But this product supplies the vit c that improves my skin texture, without turning me into an orange tinted person. Thanks to Juice Beauty, I can continue to lie about my age.
Want beautiful skin? Try this serum!
Review By:Grace on 1/24/2014
I am a 24-year-old grad student with combination, acne-prone, and sensitive skin who is always on the lookout for quality, organic products with a focus on anti-aging and brightening. I received a sample of the Stem Cellular Moisturizer several months ago; I decided to try the Stem Cellular Booster Serum based on how much I loved the moisturizer. After cleansing, the serum sinks effortlessly into the skin, facilitating my nighttime facial and lymphatic massage. When I wake up, I notice how bright, clean, and soft my skin looks (despite poor sleep and too much caffeine!). I cannot say enough good things about this product or JB. This product really provides superior quality for the price.
Perfect Serum!
Review By:Patricia on 1/22/2014
I love how this serum feels on my skin. I use it morning and night in my Stem Cellular regimen. After the Eye Treatment, I put on the Serum and then, the Moisturizer. My three "best friends"!!!
Miracle in a bottle!
Review By:Jessica Berry on 1/17/2014
Since I have started use of this product my skin has a complete 180! My wrinkles disappeared as I had tried every product under the sun to smooth out my forehead wrinkles and now I don't even see them anymore. My skin also has a natural shine to it that looks healthy and not greasy or full or too much product, it also seemed to actually clear up my skin also. Couldn't live without this product and it has been my miracle and wouldn't be able to live without it!
The Best Organic Stem Cell Repair Booster EVER!
Review By:DORENE on 1/14/2014
This past summer I was fortunate in that I won $1,000.00 worth of beauty products from Ulta. The full size Juice Beauty Stem Cellular Collection was included.
I started my Juice Beauty regime with the Stem Cellular Repair Booster Serum. What a pleasant surprise! The gel was lightweight and absorbed gently into my skin. I loved the citrus fragrance AND the fact that it was organic! I could fell and see the effects immediately. My facial skin felt super clean, appeared lighter and was plumped and prepped for the next step - the Stem Cell Moisturizer. Please see the review I have written under the moisturizer review!
Provides the extra boost I needed
Review By:Alesia on 1/13/2014
I started using this about three weeks ago very impressed so far. My skin feels much smoother and has a tighter feel after applying. Makes me feel like it helping counteract gravity a little.
I am a Juice Beauty

Whenever I get a compliment on my skin, my response is "I am a Juice Beauty and It's Juice Beauty that does it". I've used Juice Beauty since it's beginning and I continue to use it as I love the results I get. I use the stem cellular products religiously and my skin stays Juice Beauuuutiiiiful. I am happy to put such a pure product on my skin. Thank you Juice Beauty...;-}
Very Satisfied
Review By:Sharon on 1/11/2014
After using and liking the Stem Cellular CC cream I decided to give the serum a try. I love the moisturizing benefits of it. A little bit goes a long way and my skin looks brighter and smoother and more radiant. It does job in the cold winter months!
THE BEST! Results without Guilt - Love Cruelty...
Review By:Erica on 1/11/2014
All of the Juice products are great, and prove you don't have to harm animals to get results. I originally tried a reasonably priced introductory anti-aging pack which lasted a long time (a little goes a long way), and was so impressed. I'm fair skinned and my only tan is freckles! Smoother skin from first use, and sunspots gone in less than two weeks. By week three I noticed smoothing lines around eyes and mouth. So I've moved on to the cellular line. My dermatologist tells "whatever your doing - don't stop." My friends have noticed and at 54, I can still pass for 40!
Great product, poor packaging
Review By:Karla on 1/11/2014
I like this product and have been using for quite some time. It seems to have frozen aging in my opinion. My skin seems healthier too. However, I would really like to see different packaging. We're all about getting the best for our buck, so please make a package that we can get it all out. One with a pump but that screws off too. The stem cellular collection needs some serious review in this department. Spend less on fancy packaging. Keep it simple.
Review By:Jill on 1/10/2014
I love, love, LOVE this product! It makes my skin glow, addresses my fine lines and hyper-pigmentation while surprisingly also drastically reducing the extreme oiliness of my skin. Finding a product that does all that is a little like discovering gold at the end of the rainbow. I will definitely be purchasing again!
Soothing & Brightening
Review By:beckasso on 1/10/2014
This serum has helped even out my skin tone and improved the look of the skin around my eyes and forehead--no small feat after having spent last year living in Nicaragua, where the sun is brutal, and moving from there to the dry Arizona mountains! I recommend this serum--and the whole Stem Cellular line--to people with hyperpigmentation who can't, or dont want to, use too many chemicals on their skin.
Skin Perfection
Review By:Jean on 1/10/2014
I'm over 50 and have used many products and Stem Cellular Booster Serum does all that it claims. My skin has never been so smooth, the large pores on my nose are gone, the lines around my mouth are not as pronounced, and the texture of my skin has an overall firmness. The product is so easy to apply and is not at all greasy. I gave a gift set to my sister and 2 nieces for Christmas.
Love this!!
Review By:Charlee on 1/10/2014
This serum makes my skin look so bright and youthful and the best part is that it's chemical free! I am a model and this helps me keep amazing skin for my shoots.
stem celluar
Review By:kitty morgan on 1/10/2014
i got a free sample packet when i ordered something else,it was to my surprise that i got it,i thought i seen lots of reviews on this product,thought to myself what a privilege to try & was the best product in a long time,it was a 2 day use & i think it's the best on the market right now.
Review By:crystal on 1/10/2014
I absolutely LOVE this stem cell serum. It is exactly what I have been hoping for. I have tried so-o-o many products that ended up in the trash. This serum is lightweight, glides onto the skin, and is absorbed immediately. There is no heavy or greasy feeling and the product doesn't end up on the pillow!! After a week or so of use, my skin started looking clearer and more even with a healthy glow. I apply it up under the eyes and down on the neck. I highly recommend to anyone serious about skincare to try this wonderful product. A+ p.s. organic is the way to go!
Amazing !!!
Review By:Will on 1/10/2014
It's light! Absorbed quickly.. It's great on my sensitive skin. No strong scent. The price is reasonable. I love this product.
Smooth & Flawless
Review By:Carrie on 1/10/2014
This is an "amazing" product. Not only nourishes skin but makes makeup application smooth and flawless.
Good product, but terrible dispenser
Review By:Frieda on 1/10/2014
Please come up with a simpler and more compact packaging. It is good to have natural product, but the packaging doesn't speak for being sustainable...First, it is huge for such a small quantity of the product.
Secondly, the dispenser is not practical, doesn't always work, and it is impossible to get the last bits of it.
Less packaging material is more! More practical for travelling and storing, and more sustainable, and perhaps could make the production more efficient, less costly (just imagine the complicated, but not good design fee for it?) and can pass the saving to the customer, as it is a costly product?
Amazing serum!
Review By:Anya on 1/10/2014
This is my absolute favorite product. I started using it about a year ago. Since then my skin looks better. I enjoy everything about this serum. It is very light so the application process is very pleasant. The quality of Juice Beauty products is so high so my visits to spas and cosmetologists are not happening as often as they used to. It means big saving for me and big 'Thank you' to this wonderful company.
Love Serum, not the pump
Review By:Dawn Eden on 12/5/2013
I like this product, I don't think it has reduced lines but my skin looks healthier. I have had compliments that my skin glows (at age 48!). However, after using this serum for three months the pump stopped working. Due to the fact that there is no twist cap I cannot access the serum. I will contact CS to for a solution. I like Juice Beauty products but I'm not very excited about their dispensers.
Sensational Super Serum
Review By:Traci Bender on 10/18/2013
WOW! I tried a sample of the serum & with just two applications, I notice a difference in my skin texture and brightness!!!!!! The beautiful scentis Amazing! This is on my wishlist!
Wonderful serum
Review By:Chloe on 4/15/2013
This serum, paired in conjunction with the stem cellular cream, is absolutely perfect for dry skin! It absorbs quickly, and the condition of my skin is noticeably clearer, brighter, tighter, and softer! Out of the three products I ran out of this one first, it is much too wonderful!
I don't know what to say...
Review By:KG on 12/12/2012
I am beyond pleased with BOTH this and the eye treatment I really am speechless.
Most serums I've tried have a been runny and watery so I was surprised that this wasn't the same way. I applied this to one side of my face very easily and it absorbed quickly. I paid attention to my laugh line, my upper lip, and MY smile lines near my temple and outer eye. UM...we have a winner!!! My pores were not as noticeable, I wasn't sagging...basically, for me, this stuff did what it claimed after 1 usage. As with the eye treatment I felt my skin tightening within a few minutes of applying it. Can't wait to see how it does with continued and prolonged use. Since I'm a moron and forgot to purchase the moisturizer I can't speak to the effectiveness of both together, however, my nightime moisturizer (which is organic as well) appeared to work better with this. So now I wait for the moisturizer to arrive.... =(
I love the smell of green apples but I didn't smell anything. For me this is bad, for others you may love this. But again, everyone's sniffer sniffs differently so don't get mad at me if you find it smells when I didn't.
Great Product
Review By:Jenny on 4/9/2012
I have been using the Stem Cellular Repair Booster Serum for about a month and I love the results I am getting! The fine lines and wrinkles that have been driving me crazy have really improved and I couldn't be happier! This product does the trick and helps turn back the signs of aging!
love it
Review By:lisal on 2/17/2012
Love this serum! I've been getting compliments on my skin. It's nice and light and smells great and not greasy. I use it under moisturizer. I don't see any reduction of lines, but it seems to make your skin look healthier.
Very Pleased

Soak up the sunshine in style at Miami Beach
Miami Beach, Florida, is a playground of sun, sand and surf, just waiting to show guests a good time. Located in the southeast corner of the United States, Miami Beach is a clean and inviting cosmopolitan neighborhood with a reputation for being a vacationer's paradise. Whether visiting for work or pleasure, travelers find their fun in the famous beach area with outdoor sports, fresh seafood, a festive nightlife and thriving business center.
Where to go
Miami Beach - Central
Travelers visiting the central Miami Beach can walk, jog or skate the elevated boardwalk that runs all the way from 21st Street to 46th Street. This stretch of white sand offers easy access to Miami Beach hotels, bars, restaurants and concession stands for your convenience. Locals know that central Miami Beach is often quieter and less crowded than tourist-favorite South Beach.
Haulover Beach Park
Situated north of central Miami Beach and located between the Intracoastal Waterway and Atlantic Ocean, Haulover Beach Park is a mile and a half of soft sand and blue surf. Take part in one of the many kite-making shops or purchase a ready-made piece to fly in the open sky. This beach offers a golf course, dog park, and even a stretch of clothing-optional space for those wishing to avoid tan lines.
Things to do
Outdoor activities
Thousands of people flock to Miami Beach every year to relax and get a golden glow, but after adequate sunbathing and swimming, try your hand at one of the available water sports and activities. You can charter a boat to go fishing or take turns tubing over the waves. Jet ski and other rentals are also conveniently available along the beach, for a fee. If you crave even more excitement, go parasailing high above the turquoise sea.
Indoor activities
Roam the streets of the National Art Deco Historic District and view assorted architectural styles of more than 800 historic buildings constructed from the 1920s to 1940s. This area also hosts the Art Deco Weekend festival every January that includes musical performances, lectures, art exhibits, parades, merchandise vendors and more.
Nearby attractions
Everglades National Park
For a truly authentic Florida adventure, head one hour west to the park commonly known as "The River of Grass." With 1.5 million acres of swampland, this park is home to more than a dozen rare and endangered species, including the American crocodile and the Florida panther. Take the opportunity to walk, camp or canoe through the tropical jungles to see the Everglades in a thrillingly unique way.
Zoo Miami
A short 40-minute drive will take animal enthusiasts to the popular Zoo Miami. This cage-free zoo offers guests the chance to view free-roaming animals such as tigers, elephants and zebras. Discover your inner Arabian and take a ride on a Dromedary camel, or have a face-to-face encounter with a giraffe at the Samburu Giraffe feeding station.
Less than half an hour from Miami Beach is the Miami Seaquarium. Make sure to check out one of many exhibits such as the shark channel or tropical reef. The Seaquarium is the only place where you will find white-sided dolphins swimming alongside a killer whale. Stop in and watch Lolita the Killer Whale "walk on water" and perform with her bottle-nosed friends. Before you leave, partake in an unforgettable experience, and have your very own dolphin close encounter. Enjoy 30 minutes of shaking hands, sharing a kiss and practicing your training signals with your newest aquatic buddy.
Most of the year, Miami Beach enjoys temperatures averaging from the mid-70s to high 80s. Located on the coast, this city receives an average of more than 250 sunny days a year, making it an ideal vacation spot for sun-loving travelers all year-round. However, Miami Beach and the surrounding areas are also subject to the occasional tropical storm.

Often beautiful and intelligent, ladies with this name also have the gift of patience and kindness. They often place others before themselves, which makes them the best kind of friend to rely on. Though passive, they aren't afraid to stand up for what they believe in and often hold their loved ones close to their hearts; their friends especially. Once you fall for one, or become close to them, you'll never regret it.

She is the most loyal, loving and awesome friend you would ever wanna have. She has your back even when you are wrong. She will give a swift beat down to ANYONE who messes with those she kalls "friend." She is not embarrassed by her friends even if they have special talents...like licking the windows on the short bus...

5 Dorky Hobbies Taken to Badass Extremes
How many of us grew up with geeky hobbies that we could only share with a few trusted people for fear of our underwear being permanently wedgied up to our pancreas? How many of us would love to do something awesome with those hobbies just so we could go back to the assholes who made fun of us and say, "More people told me this was awesome than live in the entire state of Wisconsin"? Settle down, dork. Your time is coming -- as evidenced by ...
#5. Marching Bands Create Living Animations
Being a member of the school band is geeky enough all on its own. You have to put on a stupid-looking uniform with a hat that makes you look like a Japanese sex toy. You play an instrument that, unless ska comes back into style, makes your chances of getting into a band that people actually pay to hear about as good as us just dropping that whole Zooey Deschanel thing. Sorry, but it just ain't happening.
That's why it brings me such joy to see the marching band get the cheers they deserve when they do something cool like this:
That's the University of Hawaii Marching Band during halftime, forming a gigantic stick figure football player, complete with helmet, that stretches the width of the field. But just when you smile and think, "Oh, that's kind of neat," they adjust their hula skirts and lei-covered nipples and animate that bastard, making him run up to (albeit slowly) a tarp/football and kick it through human goalposts. It's such a simple idea, but listen to that crowd as the foot gets closer and closer to the "ball." Listen to the way they all wind up in an "oooOOOH" with that "here it comes" The Price is Right response.
But wait, you don't lay down the geek gauntlet without another nerd puffing up his chest and dropping into one-up stance. California not only embraced their band geekdom, but infused old school video games into their act as well. The following video was recorded from the opposite side of the field, but even upside down, this is crazy:
They started out with a simple Pong formation, complete with animated ball and sticks, then upped the stakes with Tetris. Oh, but don't think they were done. Not by a long shot. Nerds have never been happy with just 8-bit games -- and they weren't going to be happy with 8-bit band formations. Next, they played their tribute to Mortal Kombat, and just as the crowd thought they were going to settle with the "MK" logo, they fanned out into the iconic dragon head.
Then they brought out the big guns:
That's the sound of 10,000 nerd boners making a cartoonish "boing" noise.
They placed two mascots inside the Pokemon balls and then opened up to let them fight. I didn't pay much attention to this part, but I'm assuming the one on the right cuts that other one's head off while he lets out a bloodcurdling scream, begging for his life and pleading, "For the love of God, I have children!"
Followed by 27 minutes of the band taking turns urinating on his corpse.
Again, they're not done. They followed that up with Zelda, because they are required to by nerd law, and then a couple Super Mario Bros. level themes, the band forming the floating bricks as their mascot ran across the field, jumping and hitting each one. And finally, they ended with what has to be the most recognizable graphic in video game history -- even upside down:
40,000 people just admitted their nerddom by applauding.
While we're on the subject of music ...
#4. Dorky Music Gets Injected With Awesome
If there is a level of dork lower than band geek, it would be vocal jazz groups. Especially those who specialize in scat. At the college level, they're mostly comprised of theater and music majors who haven't quite realized yet that they can't sing. Every last one of them has a core group of white girls who redefine whiteness with their complete lack of soul or rhythm, but dammit, they try.
Even taking that into account, and even realizing that this group of extremely white as fuck people fits that exact description, you can't deny that this is awesome:
This is the vocal version of the Nintendo performance from the marching bands in the above point, and you can tell by the laughter that hits the crowd when they figure out what songs they're singing just how many nerds are in that building. Pretty much everyone -- though I guess if you're in the audience at a vocal jazz performance, you're automatically a nerd. Or related to the people on stage.
It really says something that in spite of that spastic fuckhole running back and forth in a desperate attempt at comedy, people still got into it. Especially when they dropped into the Tetris section.
"Jim, we've spoken about this. Your dick does not count as the long piece."
But video games don't have the market cornered on dorky music. How many people did you know in high school who pulled into the parking lot blasting classical music through a set of 22-inch bass speakers? I'm going to guess not many. And if they did, they weren't exactly the type who had to turn away dates because their immense coolness kept their itinerary full.
But tell that to the 100 million people who have seen Lim Jeong Hyun shred the ever-loving shit out of Johann Pachelbel's "Canon":
Or Zack Kim, who not only learned the ridiculously fast theme to The Simpsons, but played it on two motherfucking guitars at the same time. I don't care how dorky my annoying friends are with their relentless Simpsons quotes -- for every ounce of geek they pump into the show, Zack drains it out like a festering boil with this performance:
#3. Paper Craft -- Because Origami Isn't Complex Enough
Paper craft has been around for forever, but it's seen a surge of popularity over the past couple of years. Specifically when people thought, "Hey, that sounds kind of like Warcraft, only with paper instead of war! Let's do that!"
And then they did:
Via Fxconsole
That's Thrall, and he's made entirely of paper.
Because, hey, when you're not playing World of Warcraft, you have to do something, right? Otherwise, every second of your day wouldn't be taken up by the game world, and -- who am I kidding, that's pretty fucking cool. I mean, personally, I lean more toward the gnome mage category, but I- oh, hey, there's one:
Via Geekstir.com
Is it sad that I right clicked on that chest?
Keep in mind that these things are not only extremely complicated to make, but some of them are pretty damn big. People use them as actual decorations, like sculptures or hunting trophies:
Via Wowpapercraft
Given, they're not normal people who have a whole lot of other things going on in their lives, but still, you get the point. And I don't care how cool you are in the outside world, if you visited a geek's house and saw that they made something like that from scratch, you can't tell me you wouldn't be impressed. Look at the detail on those things. I'd be pressing my talents to even make a snowball out of paper, let alone a 3-D model of something as complex as the Lich King, complete with full armor and sword:
Via Wowpapercraft
Come on, if you were a bully, and you decided to stalk your victim into his own bedroom, as soon as you saw that, you'd be like, "Know what? We're good. You're free to go. Here's five dollars." Though if you're the nerd, it's probably best to not keep your naked night elf out in the open:
Via Wowpapercraft
"Oh, sorry, I didn't see that one. Give me my money back and prepare for a beating."
