- made me a believer Review by Sharon
Quality Price Value
I've been a facial cleanser wipe user for decades and thought nothing would replace my love of using those. Well I've found something that did---this WR1 cleanser delivers all it promises and more. It has never caused drying or a sting like other glycolic acid cleansers I've used. It causes nothing but healthy, glowing, soft skin on this over 60 face. It's never too late to try something new and SO glad I took a chance and tried this product. Good stuff, Dermadoctor!
- Very nice cleanser to make your skin glow Review by Olena
Price Value Quality
This is a very nice product. It makes my skin glow and I love the way it tingles a little bit :) It doesn't remove make up, so I use it in the morning (not at night) as a nice way to exfoliate my skin and supply it with antioxidants. Also, it helped me get rid of milias (the "whiteheads"). I started off using Wrinkle revenge 1 and slowly built up to Wrinkle revenge 3, but now I can't find it anywhere. Not sure what happened... Please, bring it back!
- Good Cleanser Review by Amy

I have used this product and it is very mild. I have went to the Wrinkle Revenge 2 and 3, but it seems they are discontinuing the higher levels. This is a great cleanser for someone who is starting a Glycolic acid cleanser. A little goes a long way, and I leave it on for about 3 minutes. An excellent value for the amount of cleanser.

I love this product. I started using it a few years ago and my skin looks and feels great. I recommend to anyone that asks about my skin. I think it is a great product for the money.
- Acne Prone Review by T.G.
Price Value Quality
I am 40 years old and have always had plugged skin my entire life. Not huge pimples, but rough, bumpy, under the skin whiteheads. I have used every over the counter and prescription product known to mankind. It was suggested to me to try a glycolic acid product which led me to this cleanser which has changed my life. I have used it everyday for the last two years along with the toner. My skin has completely cleared up. This does not dry out my skin nor make it peel as all the other products have in the past.
- Great feeling face Review by Dana

I used this product combined with the pore minimizer and my face has never felt or looked better. My makeup looks more refined with less product and I am starting to see a better skin tone. Love it!
- Great product! Review by stardancer
Value Quality Price
I found this product as a "deals and steals" on Good Morning America. I have tried many cleansers over the years and find this one to be the best! My skin feels clean and it glows. I am 63 years old and have always taken care of my skin and this product even seems to shrink my pores and soften the small crease lines around my mouth. The price is reasonable as well. So glad to have found Dermadoctor.
- Perfect face wash! Review by Lusie
Value Quality Price
I've had problems with a saggy face/neck and feeling like it needs to be lifted and tighter and I'm only in my late twenties. In the past I've spent hundreds of dollars on face tightening products/sets and it doesn't even compare to this one face wash! This is not a joke I don't need serum or other products and yet my face is lifted and feels tight all day. Soooo recommended especially for that price.

I have just discovered this product and just started using it. I just wanted to say how wonderful it is. I have sensetive skin and dealing with bad skin since teenage years. This product has done wonders and I really thought I was stuck with my skin for forever. It doesn't bother me in any way and for the price, it is truely amazing. I recommend it to anyone.
- Love, love, love this stuff Review by TJM
Price Value Quality
This is by far the best cleanser I have used on my skin. It is deep cleansing, softening and has helped clear up my adult acne that I have been dealing with since my 20s (I am now 43). In fact, I have had only two breakouts in the month that I have been using this and even they were quickly remedied with Dermadoctor's regimine. The first time I used this, I had a slight tingly and thought, "oh no, now I am going to have a reaction to it...." Nope! My skin is usually very sensitive and this does not bother me at all. Love, love, love this cleanser!
- Glowing!!!! Review by Pamelyn
Price Value Quality
I have never in all the cleansers I have used, appreciated the results like with Winkle Revenge 1, 2 or 3. Depending on the time of year, I will change the amount of Glycolic Acid I use. Wrinkle Revenge one is best for me, in the winter when my skin is dry. My face glows! I feel a slight tingle and then I know it is working. I love how you put it on dry skin and then rinse off. It works so well that I will not start with anything else. If I do, the rest of my skin care regimen does not work as well. I have used it since the product was first introduced.
- Glowing skin Review by Nicole

I started using Wrinkle Revenge 1 a few years ago. Here and I there I've tried to skimp and use lesser glycolic washes, but really none compare to this one. The results speak for themselves - less noticeable pores, seriously soft and glowing complexion. I also love the slight tingly feeling and the fact that it washes away with no residue. A keeper!
- Awesome cleanser! Review by jmarg
Price Value Quality
I am 25 and have dry, sensitive, acne-prone, and (already!) aging skin. I have used salicylic acid products for years to control my acne but have then had to deal with dryness from using those products, as gentle as they may be. I was nervous to try this product as anti-aging products tend to make my skin break out. I have used this cleanser along with Picture Porefect pore minimizer for about a month and couldn't be happier with the results. My skin looks and feels hydrated so I don't have to use as much moisturizer. The wrinkles or "expression lines" on my forehead are less noticeable. It takes off all my make-up (I still use eye make-up remover) so I don't have to use another product to get my make-up off. I went from using 4-5 products (make-up removing wipe, cleanser, occasional scrub, astringent, moisturizer) to wash my face at night to 2 products! I use my salicylic acid scrub about twice a week after cleansing just to get rid of dead skin cells and a sulfur mask once a week to prevent any breakouts or treat any problem spots (which are slim to none now!). My skin looks better and better every day, and I am so happy with this product!

This product is wonderful. I use Retin A nightly and this cleanser caused no tightness or irritation at all (a problem that I have experienced with glycolic cleansers in the past). Leaves my skin soft,smooth, and clean, but not tight. I was used to a foaming cleanser but now I prefer this one. Best that I have ever used, and I have tried EVERYTHING!

I have always wanted to be able to regularly use a glycolic wash for my face, but I have found all the ones I've tried before to be too irritating or drying. Amazingly, this facewash leaves my face clean and soft, with no dryness or irritation. Even better, by using this product in conjunction with Pore Perfect, my extreme acne completely cleared up! Thank you, Dermadoctor!
- First Glycolic Acid Cleanser I Can USe Review by VC, Rockford, IL USA

This is a fabulous cleanser for my oily acne prone skin. My skin is clearer and smoother than it has ever been. It removes makeup beautifully. Glycolic acid cleansers usually leave my skin feeling tight, dry and red, but Wrinkle Revenge 1 doesn't give me any side effects. This is a cleanser I won't do without! I've already ordered my second tube!

- No drying, no redness, no problem! Review by SM, Bloomington, IN
Quality Price Value
This amazing wash cleared up the bumps I get on my face after taking oral steroids for allergies. The bumps resemble Keratosis Pilaris, which I usually only have on my upper arms. The gentle glycolic formula sloughed those weird bumps off in about 3 weeks. No drying, no redness, no problem! In the past it has taken as long as 6 months to get my skin back to normal. Nice large 7 oz. tube. Very soothing and non-drying, but not oily either.
- great cleanser! Review by YJ, Los Angeles, CA

I've always used foaming cleanser my whole life, so it took some time to get used to putting cleanser on my dry face and was very skeptical, but it really works great! My skin is very soft yet not oily at all. I have acne prone skin and it makes me feel very fresh and clean without dryness afterwards.

This cleanser is impossible to use without getting into the eyes. It was so irritating to my sensitive skin that the redness and burning on my cheeks took over a week to recover. if you have sensitive skin, I would be careful about using this product. I had to return it. I use many of the Dermadoctor products and love them, but this one was way to harsh for me.

I'm posting this because I like to see good guys who are ex-Mets have success. Alex Cora didn't end up being a great offensive presence, but he still has a good glove and is a great clubhouse presence.
ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) – The Texas Rangers have purchased the contract of infielder Alex Cora from Triple-A Oklahoma City.
Cora joined Texas for its game Tuesday night, a week after signing a minor league contract. The New York Mets released him earlier this month.
To make room on the 40-man roster, Texas designated infielder Joaquin Arias for assignment.
Arias was the player to be named later in the deal that sent Alex Rodriguez to the New York Yankees for Alfonso Soriano before the 2004 season. Texas has 10 days to trade, release or outright Arias to the minor leagues.
Cora is in his 13th major league season, having played 1,178 games for the Los Angeles Dodgers (1998-2004), Cleveland (2005), Boston (2005-08) and the Mets (2009-10).

25 Things About Anna Faris
Here's everything you need to know about today's hilarious birthday girl, Anna Faris!
-Evette Brown
Let's rewind to a little more than a decade ago. Before 2000, Anna Faris was non-existent in our hearts and funny bones; but after a gut-busting performance as Cindy Campbell in the horror-movie spoof, Scary Movie, her fate was sealed. Now the blonde bombshell has cemented herself as America's funniest comedic darling, with starring roles in The House Bunny, Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs, and What's Your Number?. She's also a new mom (congrats to her and hubby Chris Pratt!), and guess what? It's her 36th birthday today! In honor of the occasion, feed yourself some fun little tidbits you may not know about this hot chick.
1. Born Anna Kay Faris on November 29th, 1976, the Baltimorean began developing her acting chops when she had her first paid job at the Seattle Repertory at age nine.
2. The world might know her as a superstar, but to friends and family, Anna Faris is simply… Anne.
3. Anna was a strange child. She even wore purple gloves for three months when she was eight so she wouldn't leave her fingerprints anywhere and be framed for murder. Weird, since Billy wanted to frame her for murder in Scary Movie.
4. Though her comedic abilities are larger than life on the silver-screen, Anna is only 5'5".
5. Anna realized the importance of education, so she attended the University of Washington and majored in English literature.
6. Stop the presses! Anna might have received parental privileges. Her father, Jack Faris, is a sociologist… who once worked at (surprise, surprise) the University of Washington.
7. Anna originally traveled to London to catch harness her acting abilities, but after filming the very lackluster Lovers Lane there, she realized that Hollywood had a star with her name on it.
Read Actress Leisha Hailey Kicked Off Southwest Flight for Kissing Her Girlfriend
Anna in Scary Movie
8. Anna Faris' college roommate didn't think she was funny enough to be in Scary Movie. She even called her and told her, "That's so weird that you were cast, because you are not funny." I guess her ex-roommate is convinced now!
9. I hate to admit it, but, maybe her roommate had a point. Before her starring role in Scary Movie, Anna had only been casted in serious roles… that all flopped.
10. Blondes have more fun– and Anna would agree, since she is naturally blonde. She chose to darken her tresses to be more Neve Campbell-esque in her role as Cindy Campbell.
11. Blonde or brunette, Anna is smoking hot in a bikini since it was her wardrobe staple in The House Bunny.
12. Speaking of The House Bunny, Anna received an MTV Movie Award nomination for Best Comedic Performance for her role as Shelly, a Playboy bunny.
13. Anna pulled off her bikini and posed nude for Playboy…all to promote the film and make men drool all over the world. Mission accomplished.
More about Anna, including how she met her fiance, up next!

Four decades after the inception of X, one thing is clear: X was not only one of the most influential bands to crash out of the punk movement of the late '70s, but the LA band's music continues to be sonically groundbreaking today. Songs written during the group's inception are as relevant and inventive today as they were in 1977. The fact is, no one sounds like X and no one ever will.

Milton High is shit. Writing this as a Freshman in October, I know the school. They are sluts who feck the fagget druggies on Friday nights. If you walk ten feet into the woods outside the school, chances are you'll find an old dirty couch and broken glass from beer bottles mixed with the dirt. Don't forget about the weed! Oh yes my friend, the big bathroom stall on every floor is the schools ashtray. There's permanent black smears all over it. What else... people come hammered to the Friday night football games. There's a couple pregnant junior/seniors. Anyway the teachers are pretty strict but that's inside the school.
-"Duddee comin to tha crater on friday"

I've explored the Giant Chasm thoroughly, yet I'm still having trouble finding Kyurem. Could someone please help, it would be greatly appreciated, Thank You.
It depends on the game. In BW, you have to have beaten the Elite Four, N and Ghetsis. You will want to make sure you go through the Giant Chasm so that you reach a second cave. Kyurem should be there at Lv70. In B2W2, you must first capture/beat Zekrom (Black 2) or Reshiram (White 2) at the top of Dragonspiral Tower (after beating N at his castle, through the exit where the Zoroark was. Head over to the part where Ghetsis was controlling Kyurem and it should be there at Lv70. Dusk Balls and Quick Balls help, or you could play it very safe with the Master Ball. BONUS: Once you have captured/beat Kyurem, you can find a new Key Item: the DNA Splicers, which is used to change Kyurem's Forme into Black Kyurem or White Kyurem
Hope this helps 18.104.22.168 07:57, February 24, 2013 (UTC)

Print "Go West", this simple phrase captures a universal longing to leave behind the everyday and set out for parts unknown. 140 years ago, John B. Stetson needed that call and created the classic symbol of the west. Today, the un-bridled individuality of the American Spirit continues to be our constant inspiration. Stetson footwear reflects the same beliefs and traditions that made Stetson a part of America. John B. Stetson started the John B. Stetson Hat Company in 1865 with no mare than $100 and a passion for hats. He rented a small room, bought the tools he needed, bought $10 worth of fur and launched his dream. Soon after he started his humble company, the famous "Hat of the West" also known as "Boss of the Plains" was born. The rest of the Stetson Hat story is as we say "history." Stetson Hats became a trademark for quality, durability, innovation and beauty. Stetson Hats remain that way today! John B. Stetson had some very tough times in creating Stetson Hats. He was trained by his father who was a master hatter, but making it at the time was difficult. Being a hatter was not held in very high regard and they were seen as unreliable. John B. Stetson changed all that with his line of Stetson Hats. He built one of the most well-known and successful American businesses. Stetson Hats rely on innovation, quality and durability to keep them that way today. Today Stetson Hats makes more than just that. They apply the same standards to their boots and clothing. Stetson Boots are known for their strong American roots and heritage. Stetson Boots are symbols of freedom - symbols of the West. With combinations of exotic boots and several different toe types, Stetson Boots have the look you need. Get your pair of Stetson Boots at BootBarn.com today.

A group led by Macquarie has pulled out of bidding for Total's French gas network, a person with knowledge of the matter says.
Macquarie, which had teamed up with three partners, decided not to submit an offer for the TIGF gas-pipeline network spanning about 5000 kilometers in south-western France, the person said, asking not to be named because the process is private.
TIGF's gas storage business didn't meet Macquarie's investment criteria, the person said.
Total had chosen five groups of bidders to make final submissions by mid-January, people have said. The other four bidding groups are led by AXA, French government fund CDC Infrastructure, Electricite de France and Enagas, according to company officials and press reports.
The asset may fetch about 2.5 billion euros ($3.1 billion), people have said. Officials at Total and Macquarie declined to comment.
Total chief executive Christophe de Margerie said last month Europe's third-biggest oil company has received seven bids for the network and wants the sale to go ''quite quickly.''
He declined to detail how many were short-listed or to give a price sought for the asset. TIGF's storage business operates about a fifth of France's total capacity.
The explorer is selling TIGF as part of a plan to sell $US15 billion to $US20 billion of assets from 2012 to 2014 in order to raise cash for oil and gas projects.

Disputed call overshadows Cardinals wild-card playoff win
ATLANTA — David Freese and the St. Louis Cardinals rediscovered their postseason touch. Chipper Jones and the Braves kept throwing the ball away. And the Atlanta fans turned Turner Field into a trash heap.
They said anything could happen in baseball's first wild-card playoff.
Boy, did it ever.
In a game protested by the Braves, Matt Holliday homered, and the defending World Series champion Cardinals took advantage of three Atlanta throwing errors — the most crucial of them by the retiring Jones — to take the winner-take-all playoff 6-3 on Friday.
MLB executive Joe Torre said the protest had been denied. St. Louis advanced to face Washington in the best-of-five division round, beginning Sunday at Busch Stadium.
The Braves are done for this season, the recipients of another heartbreaking loss in the playoffs.
The 40-year-old Jones is all done, period. He managed an infield hit in his final at-bat but threw away a double play ball in the fourth, which led to a three-run inning that wiped out Atlanta's early 2-0 lead behind Kris Medlen.
"Ultimately, I feel I'm the one to blame," Jones said. "That should have been a tailor-made double play."
But this one-and-done game will be remembered for the eighth, when a disputed call on a fly ball that dropped in short left field cost the Braves a chance at extending Jones' career.
The Braves thought they had the bases loaded with one out after the ball dropped between two fielders, who appeared to get mixed up over who had called for it. But left-field umpire Sam Holbrook called Andrelton Simmons out under the infield fly rule — even though the ball landed at least 50 feet beyond the dirt.
When the fans realized what had happened, they littered the field, leading to a 19-minute delay.
"It was scary at first," St. Louis catcher Yadier Molina said. "I've never seen that before."
When play finally resumed, Brian McCann walked, but Michael Bourn struck out to end the threat. Dan Uggla grounded out with two aboard in the ninth to end it.
The infield fly is a complicated rule, designed to prevent infielders from intentionally dropping a popup with more than one runner on base and perhaps get an extra out. No one could ever remember it being applied like this. And, after past postseasons dotted by contested calls, this play will certainly another slew of October cries for more instant replay.
When Simmons popped one into short left field, rookie shortstop Pete Kozma drifted out, throwing up his hand like he had it. Then, with left fielder Holliday lurking a few feet away, Kozma suddenly veered away and the ball fell safely.
Jones refused to pin this loss on the umps.
"That one play didn't cost us the game. Three errors cost us the game," he said. "We just dug ourselves too big a hole."
Holliday homered in the sixth off Kris Medlen, who had been baseball's most dominant starter over the final two months.

PRIMARY school children from across Swindon are learning the importance of fire safety, thanks to Wiltshire Fire & Rescue Service.
The Service is working with colleagues from Wiltshire Police, Swindon Borough Council and other partners to run the Junior Good Citizen programme for some 1,500 Year Six students (10 and 11 year olds), drawn from 37 schools.
Junior Good Citizen is designed to help children avoid putting themselves at risk of accident or injury, by raising their awareness of situations where something could happen. It also encourages them to respond appropriately to emergency situations, and shows how being a 'good citizen' can create a safer community.
Youth engagement advisors from Wiltshire Fire & Rescue Service will be running an exercise where children enter a room set up like a bedsit. The children work in small teams to identify the hazards and feedback to the 'homeowner' the issues they have identified, as well as solutions to the problems.
Debbie Lowe, one of the advisors running the scenario, said that the emphasis was on having an interactive, fun learning experience before moving from primary to secondary school.
She said: "Before the schools come to Junior Good Citizen, they receive a visit from the Fire & Rescue Service to start the process of learning fire safety.
"When the children are with us, they can reinforce what they have learnt at school in a practical environment. This encourages them to actively participate in the visit and to think for themselves, whilst also teaching them valuable fire safety information."
Junior Good Citizen is being held at the Punjabi Community Centre, Cricklade Road, Swindon from 2-13 June. The scheme will then move to Wiltshire, where it will run at the Scout Headquarters in Potterne Wick from June 23 to July 4.

The decision of the Supreme Court of India to not uphold patent protection of Glivec will not come as a shock to Big Pharma. BRIC countries have seen massive growth in healthcare spending over the last decade. Many patented pharmaceutical products in India are readily available over the counter in their respective generic forms. With the average salary in India being less than $200 per annum, many lifesaving chemotherapeutic agents would be unaffordable to the average patient. In fact, the crux of the argument raised by the Indian government is that the general population cannot afford drugs like Glivec (at a cost of $2,200 per patient per month) and this has led generic manufacturers to offer generic versions of the treatment for $170 per patient per month. Novartis' attorney stated on the first day of opening arguments that of the 41,794 CML patients in India, 15,690 were being treated with Glivec. He further explained that of this number, 15,155 patients received Glivec under the Glivec International Patient Assistance Program (GIPAP) for free, 370 patients had received Glivec for a discount, and 165 patients had paid the full amount.
The Indian patent application for Glivec, originally filed by Novartis in 1998, expired in 2008. The case centers around the country's patent law on new pharmaceuticals. More importantly, Indian patent protection law restricts patents for already known drugs unless the claims are superior in terms of efficacy. The purpose of the legislation is to prohibit pharmaceutical companies from 'evergreening' – a process commonly employed to extend a patent's life by making minor changes. Novartis states its new formulation boasts a 30% increase in bioavailability over previous formulations and that patients who cannot afford the drug can receive treatment for free under GIPAP. Novartis further goes on to claim India's patent law was unconstitutional and had purposely allowed generics to flourish. The WTO's Agreement on Trade-Related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights, an initiative set up to provide guidance in patent law and pharmaceuticals, allows India to issue compulsory licenses for pharmaceuticals, but in the case of Glivec this will not be beneficial to Novartis. In a hypothetical scenario under the said licensing scheme, and using the recently announced compulsory license for Bayer's drug Nexavar as an example, Novartis would receive 6% from generic manufacturers. From the 15,690 Glivec patient population, Novartis (under this scenario) would receive $1.92m in licensing fees from generic manufacturers every year. Currently, from India's 165 paying patients, the drug is earning Novartis $4.36m per annum, which does not account for patients receiving the drug under a discount. It is therefore conjectured that Novartis is making more revenue from its 165 patients then it would under India's compulsory license scheme by licensing the drug to generic manufacturers and treating 15,690 patients. Novartis would further increase revenue if competition from generic versions of Glivec ceased, for which it is fighting, without affecting India's poor who receive the drug for free. If Novartis was forced into licensing Glivec to generic manufacturers, it may actually harm the poor of India, as even $170 a month would be a stretch on the budget of many Indians and under this scenario there would be no incentive for Glivec to continue delivering drugs for free under GIPAP.
The Indian government is in a balancing act between allowing patients easy access, not just to Glivec, which Novartis provides for free, but to other proprietary drugs. The government must also not deter domestic generics manufacturers whose factories provide jobs to the population on razor-thin margins.
Novartis has lobbied the courts in India for something it believes to be right and is accepted in both the EU and the US. However, pharmaceutical companies watching closely want to see the outcome of the case as it will set a precedent for future drugs. For Novartis, it may be more ethical and economically viable to continue GIPAP. Even if Novartis does win, Glivec would still not be protected as generic versions of Glivec have been on the market before 2005 and thus are protected under the 'grandfather clause' of Indian patent law. On hearing the first day of opening arguments, the Supreme Court of India asked Novartis to reduce the cost of Glivec for patients. However, this course of action could have dire consequences for the international pharmaceutical market. Developing nations and the BRIC consortium of countries have aggressively asked for lower cost pharmaceuticals; however, mature markets such as Spain, Ireland and Greece could also ask for similar reductions. This could also lead to a cascade effect in the economic downturn of larger economies such as the UK, who are also in talks to reform the National Health Service and likely to ask for similar considerations.

IT WAS supposed to be Kevin Quintal's last day of kindergarten. Instead, family and friends said their goodbyes at the funeral for the five-year-old boy, who was hit by a car while on his way to Kingsgrove school.
More than 400 people wearing blue, Kevin's favourite colour, fell silent before his funeral service on Wednesday, as they watched his father, Victor Quintal, carry a small white coffin with the help of relatives.
His parents were too devastated to speak, but six family members described a flower-picking, ladybird-collecting boy who was always writing stories and diary entries.
''He was the boy who never stopped smiling,'' they said.
The Kingsgrove Public School principal, Bill Bird, described Kevin as a boy who picked flowers for his teachers, loved pretending to be an animal in the playground and made his friends laugh. ''He was a little boy but he didn't have a little life,'' Mr Bird said.
One family member said his cheeky smile and contagious laugh would be forever remembered by a game where he would present his shoes to his grandmother and ask her to smell them. She would say: ''Phew Kevin, that stinks,'' and he would roll back laughing and do it again.
His godfather, Angelo De Felice, said Kevin was a nature lover who liked holding his mother's hand and drawing his name in the sand. ''Even though he was only five, he would always think of others before himself,'' Mr De Felice said.
Kevin was walking to school with a backpack full of Christmas cards for classmates when he was struck by a four-wheel-drive as he walked across Vivienne Street with his mother, Marilyn, and two siblings.
Police are investigating the circumstances of the accident.
Following the service, Kevin's Bob the Builder backpack was placed in the hearse and hundreds of balloons were released into the sky outside Our Lady of Fatima Catholic Church in Kingsgrove. Close friends and family then travelled to Eastern Suburbs Memorial Park at Matraville for his burial.

Exercise and Metformin in Colorectal and Breast Cancer Survivors

- How to Read a Study Record
Metformin is a medication that is commonly used in the treatment of diabetes. Recently small studies in cancer patients without diabetes suggest that metformin may benefit in lowering insulin levels. In those studies of patients with cancer but not diabetes, glucose (or sugar) levels in the blood are generally no lowered. Insulin and insulin-like growth factors affect the growth of cancer cells.
This randomized study will compare different interventions; exercise, exercise and metformin, metformin alone, or a control arm. The investigators are not directly testing how either exercise or metformin affects your disease. The investigators are testing how they affect insulin levels in your body as well as other blood markers. The investigators believe that these blood tests may either be related to cancer recurrences or be an early sign of cancer recurrences and they are testing how both exercise and metformin may change those markers.

There was a bit of chatter last week on another forum about pulled beef. I knew they were going on the menu after all of it. I know its more traditional to make pulled beef sandwiches, but Mrs. G loves tacos (and I'll admit, I'm kinda a fan as well), so we opted to go that route. Two chuck roasts weighing in at about 4 lbs a piece rubbed down with canola oil and Bolner's Fiesta brand Fajita Spice
They went on to the Egg at 7:30 am at 250 with a mix of hickory chunks and mesquite chips (I really need to restock my supply of mesquite)
Had to take a lil peak at about 2.5 hours in, also wanted to get a probe into the meat.
Took them to 165 and then foiled them, no broth or juice or anything at all. That was around 1:30, about 6 hours in. No pictures at that point as I was busy doing "Stuff". They stayed on for another 2.5 hours or so. I'll admit, I got distracted watching some football and went to check on them around 4 and they were at 210. Went into a cooler with some towels as dinner was still a bit off.
Finished. Fall part tender and juicy.
About 8lbs of pulled beef (pre-cooked weight)
Pulled beef tacos, home-made pico de gallo, queso fresco and a side of chips and queso. Mrs. G also whipped up a batch of boracho beans, but I didn't get any pictures of that.
Got a ton of leftovers now. I'll eat on it a bit more the next few days, but the majority will be vac sealed and frozen for weeknight dinners down the road. I can already see enchiladas, nachos and maybe a pizza in my future.

London Broncos claimed their first win of the Super League season at the 24th attempt with a shock 40-36 triumph over Challenge Cup finalists Leeds Rhinos.
The Broncos had failed to win any of their first 23 Super League matches this term, with their last league triumph coming 11 months ago, 34-22 at Hull KR, on the final day of the 2013 season.
Joe Grima's side found themselves 22 points behind in the second half but fought back impressively to secure their first win with just two fixtures remaining and relegation to the Championship already long since confirmed.
Young half-back Joe Keyes ran in a hat-trick of tries, whilst Kieran Dixon marked his return from a long injury lay-off with a try as well.
Kallum Watkins touched down in the corner early on for the visitors, who extended their lead with tries from Josh Walters and Liam Sutcliffe soon after.
The Broncos responded with two scores of their own, through Jordan Atkins and Keyes, before Mitch Achurch and Zak Hardaker put Leeds back in control.
It was one-way traffic after the break too, with Sutcliffe extending the visitors' advantage.
However tries from the fit-again Dixon and Mike McMeeken hauled the Broncos back into the contest.
Achurch scored his second try after running 50 metres but Scott Moore responded for Grima's side, who refused to be beaten.
Two further tries from Keyes had the Broncos ahead in the match for the first time with just six minutes left on the clock.
Josh Drinkwater then converted a penalty to give the home side a slender four-point lead, before drama on the final play saw Leeds touch down, only to see the score chalked off by the officials – much to the Broncos' relief.
London Broncos: Farrar; Dixon, Mataitonga, Solomona, Atkins; Drinkwater, Keyes; Slyney, Moore, Wallace, Vea, McMeeken, Cook.
Replacements: Krasniqi, Griffin, Dollapi, Thomas.
Leeds Rhinos: Hardaker; Briscoe, Watkins, Handley, Hall; Sutcliffe, White; Singleton, Aiton, Bailey, S. Ward, Achurch, Walters.
Replacements: Kirke, Clarkson, Minchella, Golding.
Referee: Tim Roby
Attendance: 1,268

Mobility Radeon X800 and X300 Launch to Low Availabilityby Derek Wilson on 11/23/2004 5:57 AM EST

skunkbuster - Saturday, November 27, 2004 - linkwould it be possible (in the future) to test the mobility x800 and the 6800 go at the same clock speeds?
400/400 for the MR X800 and 300/300 for the 6800 Go...
i just wonder what (if any) performance advantage ati has because of that.
it might be interesting to see how they compare to each other if they are clocked the same.
nserra - Wednesday, November 24, 2004 - linkThere are a lot of Mobility 9700 notebooks in my country and cheap ones.
Is the mobility 9800 already available?
I don't understand how ati can make so many different chips? I mean Mobility 9800 looks like an X700 chip but in reality due to the number of vertex (4 vs 6) and memory interface (128 vs 256) is not?
So many product lines, isn't more complicated? Nvidia is faster in bringing the product to market because of this and because of the lower market share. One card is easier to sell over five, especially if you don't have five…. Reply
onix - Tuesday, November 23, 2004 - link"Derek
Can you post a comparison of power consumption between the 6800go X800 X300 and older chips like the 9800, 9700 and 9600 mobility? "
I agree. I would like to know what I'm passing up before buying a top of the line ThinkPad.
Sputt - Tuesday, November 23, 2004 - linkIs it worth waiting for the x800 if im getting a laptop very soon with 6800 ? Reply
DerekWilson - Tuesday, November 23, 2004 - linkHistorically, we cover prodcut launches when the technology is announced. We have never talked about features like DLCS, and we hadn't put a name to hypermemory.
The important thing to remember is that this isn't an update, its a launch. And the fact that we've got no product in our hands (we would love to bring you a power comparison #1, but we can't yet) is a problem for ATI to deal with when NVIDIA has shown that it is very doable to move product immediately.
That's big enough news for us to talk about. It's important for companies not to paper launch products, and we don't like seeing it happen. Reply
LoneWolf15 - Tuesday, November 23, 2004 - linkWee...why did you even bother posting this second "update"? Was it that slow of a news day?
Anandtech should take a stand and say "If you won't give us sufficient testing time to give our readers valuable data, then we're not testing your hardware". You wasted your readers' time when you could have said "We'll post a review when there's a product you can actually buy, and when we're given enough review time to give you battery life specs, and video playback performance". You're an "industry leading site"...I encourage you to actually lead. Reply
trikster2 - Tuesday, November 23, 2004 - link
Can you post a comparison of power consumption between the 6800go X800 X300 and older chips like the 9800, 9700 and 9600 mobility?
Also it would be useful to include in the comparisons the older AGP based mobil chips, so we that are about to buy a laptop can decide if these new chips are worth waiting for.
Great review!
Thanks! Reply

When it comes to raising money from the private sector to offset dwindling state funds, California State University, Dominguez Hills, in Carson lags behind most of its peers. | Main story: As CSU campus budgets drop, university presidents get big raises
Over the past three years, the 23 campuses of the CSU system raised, on average, an amount equal to 13 percent of their state allocations. Dominguez Hills in that time generated just 5 percent - in the bottom quarter of the pack and exactly half of its CSU-imposed goal.
But a campus administrator says things are improving steadily.
"We're not at 10 percent, but we're going in the right direction, so we're happy about that," said Greg Saks, a vice president at Dominguez Hills, noting that the campus last year generated some $4.2 million in philanthropic funds, twice the amount it took in half a decade ago. "We have been able to see growth year over year."
The business of drumming up donated dollars is a task that falls squarely on the shoulders of a university president. It is a heavy burden, especially in this era of austerity.
This means presidents are no longer simply alpha administrators, but also corporate schmoozers. Hosting frequent dinner parties at their well-appointed houses -- often provided by the university -- is pretty much embedded in their job description.
"It's a 24-7 job," Saks said. "There are lots of things done on Saturday, Sunday and lots of evenings."
Cal State Dominguez Hills' former president, Mildred Garcia, is responsible for the campus' philanthropy numbers. Garcia served at the top for five years, but in July was promoted to the presidential post at the much larger Fullerton campus. She has been replaced by Willie Hagan, who, coincidentally, was Fullerton's interim president at the time.
With Garcia's promotion came a salary hike -- from $295,000 to $324,500 -- that drew fire from students, union members and some state legislators.
Hindsight has done nothing to alter Saks' opinion that the outcry was unfair.
"I believe the expectations of a college president are higher now than ever before," he said. "I think when you look at the totality of that position, it's a very challenging job."
Garcia's erstwhile subordinates also give her high marks on fundraising, statistics notwithstanding.
"It's worth noting that despite Garcia only having been here five years, the campus ... saw growth in fundraising," said campus spokeswoman Amy Bentley-Smith in an email.
Added Saks: "She had a unique ability to connect with a lot of different types of constituents. She was able to clearly articulate the institution's mission and goals. I think that resonated with donors."
Fundraising muscle at CSU tends to correspond more to legacy than size. One of the largest locations, CSU Fullerton, raised a relatively modest $8.4 million in 2010-11. Fresno State is a little bigger than half Fullerton's size but is considered a flagship CSU campus. It took home about twice as much.
King of the fundraising game is San Diego State, which raked in some $71 million in 2010-11, or nearly 40 percent of its state allocation.
In addition to being among the smaller campuses, Dominguez Hills has long grappled with the handicaps endemic to low-profile brands, so its weaker donor pull is perhaps not surprising.
On the measure of dollar amount, Dominguez Hills ranked fourth to the bottom in 2010-11, with its $3.1 million figure surpassing only Channel Islands, Stanislaus and Maritime Academy.
In fairness, the CSU system clusters the campuses into three divisions based on their track record and institutional capacity for attracting philanthropy, and sets their goals accordingly. Dominguez Hills is in the group of lightweights. When stacked against these 11 other schools, Dominguez Hills' ratio of fundraising dollars to taxpayer dollars (5 percent) is closer to average (7 percent).
CSU asks the campuses in this group to shoot for raising 10 percent of their state budgets; only two met that mark. It asks the four heavyweights - Fresno, Long Beach, San Luis Obispo and San Diego - to strive for 15 percent. Of these, only Fresno missed the goal in 2010-11, drawing 12 percent.
At CSU Dominguez Hills, regular donors include local corporate stalwarts such as Toyota, Honda, Shell Oil and BP, as well as the Watson Land Co., which is owned by the descendents of the Dominguez family for whom the campus is named. The Gilbert Foundation is also a regular contributor. Last year, the campus found a new donor in the Wallace Annenberg Foundation.

Topic: My dad is going to die...
...My dad is likely going to leave us before the end of the year. It feels weird to actually type those words and to read them is even stranger. Our world will never be the same again. Just thinking about it makes me feel like the world is incomplete.
I finally did something on Thursday that our family has been putting off for a long time. Went down to the cemetery and purchased two burial plots. My mom and I know that we should have done this a long time ago, but whether it be denial or fear of "jinxing" my dad, we kept saying we had to do it, but just never could get ourselves to pull the trigger. However, the conversations with doctors this week has knocked out 99.9% of all hope that I had. And maybe that's not a bad thing. With all I've learned through cc.org and other websites, I've seen the telltale signs for awhile (ironically, started just right after my wedding in Sept), but to hear a doctor actually say "no, not months, weeks at best" was still a shock.
So my prayers have changed. I pray...
...that my dad will not have unbearable pain and suffering...that my dad can pass without significant regrets...that my dad can leave this world peacefully in his sleep...that my mom has even more strength than the unbelievable strength she has had these last 23 months...that my mom does not just collapse after my dad passes (she did not even have time to mourn her own mother's loss because it happened the month after my dad's diagnosis)
...and most importantly, I pray that God accepts my dad for being a genuinely decent and good man, husband, father, brother, and friend. And for being a person of true honesty and integrity who did not sacrifice his morals and firm belief of right and wrong for his own benefit/gain. And understands and can accept that my dad was born into and lived in an environment that simply did not have a sense of belief or relationship with God.

Parrot's palm-sized quadrocopter, based on the popular AR.Drone, is one of the hits on this year's CES show floor.
When the original AR.Drone reached Australia a few years ago it really raised the bar in terms of consumer-grade remote control flying machines. It was certainly a step up from the cheap and nasty USB helicopters in terms of stability and performance, as you'd expect from the AR.Drone's $349 price tag.
I had plenty of fun putting the original AR.Drone through its paces, controlling it from iOS and Android devices. My key complaint was that it's just too big and unwieldy to fly inside, in your backyard or even in a park full of trees. You really need an open field and even then you have to watch out for cross winds once you get a few metres off the ground.
Since then we've seen the AR.Drone 2.0, which I haven't tested, but it retains the same design and the $349 price tag so it doesn't really address my fundamental frustrations with the concept. Now at CES 2014 in Las Vegas, Parrot has unveiled a prototype of the tiny MiniDrone which is expected to reach Australia later this year.
The MiniDrone draws on much of the same technology found in its big brother, including cameras and sonar to monitor the ground for improving flight stability. One of the key differences is that the MiniDrone relies on Bluetooth 4.0 rather than Wi-Fi for remote control from an iOS or Android device. This reduces the range to about 15 metres, plus the drop in available bandwidth means you don't get a live feed from the cameras in the drone. When using the full-sized Drone I found it too hard to watch the screen while I flew, because I needed to keep an eye on the Drone so it didn't get away from me. This is less of a problem with the Mini, so the lack of the camera feed is disappointing but not a deal-breaker.
This little drone is only 15 centimetres across, roughly a third the width of its big brother. The MiniDrone weighs 50 grams, although you can add thin plastic wheels to the sides which bump the weight up to 70 grams. Originally I thought the wheels were only optional safety guards for the rotors, which seemed like a good idea. But thanks to the attachable wheels you can actually drive the MiniDrone around on the floor or even drive it up a wall and across the ceiling. Parrot also unveiled the new ground-based Jumping Sumo remote control vehicle at CES, which I might look at in detail another day.
The MiniDrone certainly feels more stable than the full-sized AR.Drone I tested, partly because it's smaller and partly because it's inherited the improved flight stability features introduced with the AR.Drone 2.0. The MiniDrone is small enough to rest on your palm and you can even gently flick it into the air and engage the rotors. You can control it by tilting your mobile device and driving virtual joysticks on the screen. There's also a flip button which sees it do a quick 180 forward roll in mid-air.
One of the advantages of the MiniDrone's compact design is that it's a lot more robust, especially when you're using the wheels as crash guards. The full-sized AR Drone is easy to damage if you land roughly on a hard surface and when I tested it a few years ago I managed to snap a plastic cog driving one of the rotors. With the MiniDrone these kinds of components are fully enclosed, so it's less prone to damage and thus you're less likely to run into the expense of replacement parts.
Flying time with the MiniDrone is 8 to 10 minutes on a single charge, depending on whether you've got the extra weight of the wheels. Thankfully the battery is still removable so you can charge up a few batteries and have them ready to go, although this is less of a hassle if you'll be using the MiniDrone around the house. If you're taking a full-sized AR.Drone out to an open field then it's more important to have extra flight time up your sleeve.
The only real question that hangs over the MiniDrone is pricing. You'd expect it to be cheaper than the $349 full-sized AR Drone 2.0, but I'd really love to see it at less than $200. At this price it's still an expensive toy, but if you've sunk money into a few cheap and nasty USB helicopters you might see the value in upgrading to Parrot's slick MiniDrone. It's certainly one to watch out for this year.

Sheriffs from across upstate are hoping the state Legislature and Gov. Andrew Cuomo revisit portions of the new gun-control law, saying the measure was adopted in haste and targets law-abiding gun owners.
The new gun law was adopted Jan. 15, and it has been a major focus of the state Sheriffs' Association conference this week in Albany.
Some sheriffs said the law takes positive steps to address mental-health issues and access to illegal guns, but they said it also infringes on Second Amendment rights.
"This law has some issues pertaining to the Second Amendment," said Putnam County Sheriff Don Smith. "I'm deeply concerned in haste to pass the law, they may have missed the point on some of the mental-health issues and are dealing with some ammunition and gun issues and law-enforcement issues."
Gov. Andrew Cuomo pushed for the bill's passage in the wake of the mass shootings in Newtown, Conn., and the ambush attack on two first responders in Webster, Monroe County.
The new law, passed just hours after it was printed, is the toughest in the nation and includes a stronger ban on assault weapons, as well as lowering the number of bullets allowed in a magazine from 10 to seven. Cuomo said last week that the lower magazine capacity would help save lives.
Chemung County Sheriff Christopher Moss said the change in magazine size would do little to limit gun violence.
"Do you think bad guys are going to put seven clips in a round as opposed to 10 clips and follow the law?" Moss said. "I think it's a law that's going to be very restrictive on law-abiding citizens as opposed to criminals who it was geared for."
Here's video of Smith and Moss today:
