i think its a dumb law in general. Any teenager can find someone to buy them drinks. It only really stops people from getting into adult places where they serve drinks like bars and strip clubs.
I don't know how you handle it down in the US, having to be 21 for everything. 19 was long enough in Canada

Story and Gamemode
Renegade X is set in the near future, in a world dominated by a contagious yet valuable resource called Tiberium. The Global Defense Initiative (GDI) is an international security force set to combat global terrorism. Conceived as a united peacekeeping military force, GDI depends on the technological sophistication of its weaponry, and the superior training and loyalties of its officers. GDI looks to halt the spread of Tiberium, which is gradually destroying the Earth and killing off millions of people. At the same time, the Brotherhood of Nod, led by the charismatic leader known only as Kane, grew to prominence. Working largely in third world countries, wherever there was discontent and unrest, there was Kane. With the promise of a New World Order and bankrolled by the illicit Tiberium research and trade that Kane made famous, Nod began to gain power. A few scattered, disaffected units grew into an army with powerful atomic weaponry, ruthless tactics, and a Tiberian fortune. The Brotherhood aims to push humanity into the next stage of evolution via Tiberium mutation.
Where GDI stands for international stability and the removal of the Tiberium contagion, Nod seeks to overthrow the established order and build a world centred on Tiberium research.

What's next?
We discussed some of our thoughts on the future of Renegade X in our previous update: Renegade-x.com
What we can say is that Totem Arts will continue working on and updating Renegade X. We have a few new maps in the works (including remakes of Under and Complex!), and a new gamemode in the planning stages. We're excited with what the future has in store. For now, Beta 3 was a necessary step towards having a stable game and a stable community. There have been over 200 fixes and changes since our previous version, as well as two new maps, two new special items, and new art.
We are a free game, and therefore we do not have an advertising budget. Renegade X relies completely on word-of-mouth, so please do whatever you can to spread the news. Upload a beta mirror, e-mail a gaming site or magazine, record a YouTube video, post about us on reddit and other forums, and be sure to tell your friends! The bigger our playerbase is, the more work we can put into the game.
With that said, we do aspire to become a Steam game, but we cannot do so without EA's expressed permission. We have been trying to get to the EA licensing manager, but so far unsuccessfully. If you have any ideas on how Renegade X can become a Steam game, post them in the comments! If you know anyone from EA, point them in our direction please!
That's all for now!
We're looking forward to seeing you all again. Let us know what you think – connect with us and the community through our website, Twitter, Facebook, and YouTube. Soon enough, you'll be hearing from us again. But for now, enjoy the game!
This is a full beta multiplayer candidate. Please uninstall all previous versions of Renegade X.
ok the very first test build of UT40k based on the shooter game demo of Unreal Engine 4 please don't expect to much, i'll be posting a video on my youtube...
This version brings many new features and bugfixes in general aspect not only for Titans, look at the full changelog to see the new changes.
This is a minor full release version containing some bug fixes from the 3.01 release. I've had this version kicking around for a few years. The announcement...
First test of foxMod for the PS3 version of UT3. Currently very beta and may not work!
Fixed some minor bugs like double ground pound in multiplayer and added a option to give or not bonus points to everyone when a transformation happens.
Shame this game has fewer mods than UT2004, i wonder what happends to the other mods out there?
Another issue with mods for this game is there's this one mod site which places PS3 mods above PC mods of this game and place dodgy links for the PC versions of their mods so they're no longer available.
Is there A mutator for UT3 that adds the Cool Looking Guns from Unreal 2?
UT4 in 2015
What is the difference between UT3 mods and UDK games ?
the difference is that udk games are standalone, while ut3 mods require...well, ut3. other than that, the technology, workflow, etc are pretty much the same.
The only difference really is that UDK is a free program offered by Epic Games for those who want to play with the Unreal Engine 3 without selling the game. UT3 mods probably use the UDK but it's exclusively used for well... UT3.
Guys, i need your help: are there any Star Wars Characterpacks for UT3?
that's a late response, but there's some SW character models for ut3

As many mentioned, this is the fine example of a game which sold out it's potential as a shameless FPS with no storyline. In all honesty, the Unreal series were standing strong without such things as Plot or Storyline supporting them, and it would seem the implementation of such terms as Respawner and the like in a game called Unreal for a reason seems redundant. The single player consists of pre rendered cynematics followed by simple bot matches on various normally playable single player maps and…

"....betting that Comet 1 (combined abi/cabo treatment) gets terminated early due to positive median overall survivor stats." There is a decent chance that Comet 1 will get an early termination. EXEL built a single interim analysis into the protocol so that in case the drug showed exceptional efficacy, the company, vis a vis its standing instructions to the Data Monitoring Committee, could terminate the trial early without jeopardizing the validity of the results.

Paul Giamatti stars as a struggling lawyer and volunteer wrestling coach who takes in his client's troubled grandson
On Film4: 2 Dec 1:45AM
Asger Leth's suspense thriller sees a man (Sam Worthington) threatening to throw himself from the ledge of a New York hotel at the same time as a diamond heist is taking place across the street.
Asger Leth's film would have you believe that New York is either the worst place in the world to be a cop or the best to be a criminal mastermind. The former apparently have to follow some vague "instinct" at all times instead of, you know, the law - and the latter? Well they can do pretty much whatever they want as long as they've read just about every book on electronics and espionage ever written. To say that Man On A Ledge is unrealistic would be like saying its bare-bones title is misleading or vague: There is a man, and he's on a freaking ledge.
The film is actually a very loose remake of 2011's The Ledge, although the ledge part is about all that survived Pablo F. Fenjves' script, which involves a man, Nick Cassidy (played with leering, gravelly gusto by Sam Worthington), threatening to kill himself (much to the chagrin of New York city's apparently rabid, heartless masses). Amazingly, there's a shoe-horned in diamond heist at the nimble hands of Jamie Bell that would make Danny Ocean sweat, and a cop in an emotional nosedive (a pleasant, if bland, Elizabeth Warren).
The way in which these stories intertwine plays out with all the grace and subtlety of a porn movie; and director Asger Leth uses a sort of porn logic to get his characters from one scenario to another, and it even comes complete with its own stripper-cum-cat burglar assisting Jamie Bell (by showing a lot of cleavage). Essentially whenever something needs to happen in the film it will happen in the laziest, most convenient way possible - and it's unintentionally hilarious. A film with aspirations to be one part Die Hard, one part Ocean's Eleven really didn't need to be as smart or as slick as either of those films to be fun but Fenjves' script doesn't even try. Holding the cards so close and giving so little away at the outset feels like cheating an audience already putting up with a lot and Ed Harris' evil, fat-cat villain is criminally underused.
It is at times exciting, rarely boring and there's some frightening use of the vertiginous setup, but it's the awful script that will leave the audience dizzy. Much hullabaloo is made of Nick's situation causing a ruckus in Midtown New York but spare a thought for the poor citizens whose lives were actually disrupted when the cameras started to roll on Man On A Ledge - the final product probably won't make it seem worthwhile.
Silly Things Happen Very High might have been a better title, but there's still fun to be had. Yes, it's astoundingly stupid and full of rubbish characterisation and nonsense twists, but Man On A Ledge is harmless enough.

Nov. 11 | How the Church Should not depend on the state
This is an interesting National Catholic Register article on the situation of the church in Germany, which collects church taxes for distribution to the country's Catholic bishops conference and the Protestant churches. There would seem to be a very important lesson here for all churches concerning the risks of becoming dependent on external authority for financial governance. The result seems to be a peculiar and deeply serious situation for the Catholic church in Germany. Once again, the result of the church and state being too intertwined is not necessarily so bad for the state, but it is disastrous for the church. I hope and pray that the German bishops can look for and press the 'reset' button on how the Catholic church in Germany is governed. The status quo looks untenable.
October 25 | On (Reporting on) the Synod
There is so much that has been said about the synod that finished up one week ago in Rome concerning the family. And for that reason precisely, there is much more that needs to be said. It is difficult to know where to begin. So, I won't. Chickening out here, due to time constraints.
But, here is the passage of the year that is 'the take away' regarding this synod, and it comes from a speech by Philadelphia Archbishop Chaput:
We have deep respect for people with same-sex attraction, but we can't pretend that they're welcome on their own terms. None of us are welcome on our own terms in the Church; we're welcome on Jesus' terms. That's what it means to be a Christian – you submit yourself to Jesus and his teaching, you don't recreate your own body of spirituality.
For a precise and exacting (and not long) analysis of exactly why the Synod was a media disaster, go to the always reliable Terry Mattingly, who has a good piece here, in which Chaput's comment is quoted.
Nov. 1 Update: Here are a couple of articles (one great, the other a bit off the mark) of analysis that go beyond the misleading headlines of the past two weeks:
1) John Gehring, What the Left and Right Get Wrong About Pope Francis
2) Ross Douthat's "A Church, Not a Party" in which he defends current practice of not allowing communion for the remarried and divorced. While his instincts are correct, I would suggest that he has not made a good theological argument in defense of current practice. And so, he ends up discrediting, to a certain extent, current church practice, since some of his readers will take his view to be "the defence" of current practice. Douthat (whose columns on culture, the role of religion and society and interpreting history rightly – I regularly applaud) confuses doctrine with discipline by focusing too much on an oversimplified view of authority. It's still worth reading however.
Road to Peace
The disturbing events in St. Jean sur Richelieu and Ottawa during the last week have made me think about the safety of our country and how I take peaceful living for granted. I was finding myself becoming more and more anxious as I listened to the news reports of the killings of the servicemen by two very angry young men. I realized that my gut reaction was a response to the fear that I felt.
And yet how to respond in a way that is healthy and does not perpetuate the cycle of violence and hatred that these actions by others ignite? I was consoled today by a reading in the liturgy that stated "I … beg you to lead a life worthy of the calling to which you are called, with humility and gentleness, with patience, bearing with one another in love, making every effort to maintain the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace." (Ephesians 4:1-3) Saint Paul is encouraging his readers to look at each other in a spirit of love and to try to understand each other.
When our lives have been turned upside down, these might be hard words to swallow, but they are words that lead to the road of wisdom and peace. If we react with violence to situations of violence, the cycle will never end.
But in the concrete, how can we bear with one another in love? When we see people consoling those who have been hurt, the families who have lost a loved one, even the families of the perpetrators, we are on the right track. Whenever we try not to judge others by their appearances or belief systems and see them as mothers, fathers, brothers, sisters, then we see them in a spirit of love and peace. When we forgive others for past hurts, then we grow in humility and gentleness. These are some of the keys to becoming a person of peace.
All are called to be people of peace within our own communities, workplaces and families. It is only in working towards peace at the grassroots level that we can model a society that reflects the suggestions from Saint Paul.
Can you think of situations where you can be a carrier of peace? Where might you be the messenger of the unity of the Spirit?
« In daily life we must see that it is not happiness that makes us grateful, but gratefulness that makes us happy ». This phrase written by the well-known contemporary spiritual writer, Brother David Steindl-Rast, reminds us of the importance of gratitude in our daily lives.
Gratitude is not only an important virtue for our spiritual lives, but there is even a more recent school of psychology that recognizes the benefits of gratitude for leading a satisfied life. We have much to be thankful for and yet our natural tendancy is to focus on what is missing in our lives instead of what is good. When we give thanks, we change our perspective and see life through a different lens.
Giving thanks is central to the Catholic faith. The term « Eucharist » means thanksgiving and we have many instances in the Bible where we witness Jesus giving thanks to his father as part of his blessing of the bread.
How can we give thanks? Some families give thanks before meals, others have bedtime rituals that include giving thanks for the events of the day. We can also give thanks in the morning before the day begins.
This year as you gather around a Thanksgiving dinner, maybe you can ask each person what they are thankful for at this time of their lives. Even small children can participate.
Walter Rauschenbusch offers us a Thanksgiving Prayer in appreciation of our senses and the natural world. He acknowledges that we are people who experience life in many ways.
Do you have a favorite Thanksgiving prayer? Are there some rituals in your family in which you offer thanks to God for what is good in your life?
May you have a blessed Thanksgiving Day!
Last June, an article entitled "When Crisis Strikes: 5 steps for praying when you're overwhelmed", caught my attention. Personally, I am more vulnerable to being overwhelmed in the fall as I transition from the slow days of summer into the more hectic and busy days of the fall. It always takes about a month or so to get into the beat of the more intense pace of work.
For a quick read, below is a summary of the 5 steps, but you can also access the unedited list.
Step 1: Find a safe and quiet place to become aware of God's Presence. It is important in times of crisis to step away for a few minutes or a half hour to take time to breathe and get in touch with God and his voice.
Step 2: Review what has occurred through the lens of Gratitude. The saints remind us that our relationship with God is linked to gratitude. We are all given gifts, but we need to take the time to take stock of them. Talk to God and share with him the feelings and thoughts that you have experienced since the beginning of the crisis.
Step 3: Pay attention to your emotions recognizing they are sacred. St. Ignatius of Loyola reminds us that God can speak to us through our emotions and feelings. Think back on your stronger feelings since this crisis. Thank God for speaking to you through them.
Step 4: Ask God to speak to your open heart. Pray for insight concerning these experiences. What is God asking you to pay attention to? Can he be telling you something?
Step 5: Look toward tomorrow. When we are stressed and overwhelmed, it is hard to see the light at the end of the tunnel. What kind of strength do you need to face the challenges of tomorrow? End this time of prayer with an Our Father or another prayer of offering.
These steps will not take away the crisis that is triggering your sense of being overwhelmed, but it may bring you some sense of connection to God. May it also bring you peace.
Sept. 2 | On Catholic architecture
In a city such as Montreal, where Catholic heritage so easily overwhelms the still vibrant yet less visible contemporary expression of faith, one can be forgiven for not thinking about how to build a Catholic church. The churches, they are already built. Well, nonetheless, there were a number of churches built in the recent past, mostly in the suburbs. The architectural quality of these churches – many built in the 1960's – is, to put it charitably, debatable. There are some positive fetures to these churches. For instance, I do appreciate the wood panelling in some of these suburban churches – such as the wood (is it oak?) in the over 50 yrs. old St. Edmund's, Beaconsfield.
Architecure is a hot topic when it comes to Catholicism's reception of what is termed modernism. One architect in particular, Charles-Edouard Jeanneret (1887-1965), better known as "Le Corbusier," is the bête noire of modern architecture. He is associated with many projects in Europe involving lots of concrete, other heavy materials and flat surfaces. (Think of ugly aprtment blocks built circa 1962 and you have it.) This article by Denis McNamara does a nice job, I think, of detailing how and why Le Corbusier has had some direct influence on Catholic church (religious) buildings: notably the Dominican Monastery of Sainte-Marie-de-La-Tourette (1957-60) in Eveux-sur-L'Abresle outside Lyon. Take a look at the pictures in that article and see how this architecture squares with the more traditional monasteries that we know and love, whether it be the relatively recent Benedictine abbey at St. Benoit du lac here in Quebec (see below…tip: go there in early October for the amazing apples, cider, Mass and cheese …. not necessarily in that order) or the fantastic new Trappist monastery, Val Notre-dame, which is also open to visitors at select times/days.
What got all this going for me was a read through this article in a secular blog, New Geography, which details why Catholics need architecture that is vibrant and alive, not deathly plain as in the new brutalism that is associated with the name of Le Corbusier. What Catholics also need are leaders who appreciate the specific needs of Catholics for beauty that speaks to the tradition rather than a banal sense of the spiritual. This contrast is spelled out in the McNamara article on Le Corbusier and his influence on the Dominican Marie-Alain Couturier (1897-1954). One wonders what contemporary Dominicans think of the Sainte-Marie-de-La-Tourette monastery given Couturier's controversial embrace of the ideas of LeCorbusier, the religious skeptic.
Yet, according to the author Julien Meyrat, it is possible for *some* reconciliation on the part of Catholics with modernism. He cites the convent at Ronchamp (France) and the Cistercian chapel near Irving, Texas. Interesting side note: the picture of the Texas chapel (go to the bottom of the article) reminds me of the rough stone at St. Benoit. The beauty of the rock and the careful way in which natural light is brought into the chapel seems to redeem some of the extra simplicity that would otherwise dim the illumination of the prayer and worship that unfolds within.
Building Catholic churches will, I hope, be carried out with some critical distance to what transpired in the 1960's. We know more now than we did then, apparently. Although you can never tell for sure.
Community Service and Pentecost
Not too long ago I read an article suggesting that community service is beneficial to mental health and helps to maintain intellectual capacity as we age. As I delved further into the topic, I discovered a webpage from the University of California in San Diego describing the Top Ten Reasons to Volunteer. I was surprised to see how much giving to others had so many benefits not only to the person being assisted, but also to the person who gives. This is another example of how a very Christian value, that of giving of oneself, has proven to be good for our well being.
What is the link between this and Pentecost? As a church, Pentecost is the date when we celebrate the coming of the Holy Spirit to the apostles. It is also sometimes called the birthday of the church
Saint Paul in his letter to the Galatians speaks about the fruits of the Holy Spirit which are "love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, generosity, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control." When we give to others through community service, we are given opportunities to grow in the fruits of the Holy Spirit.
These fruits are the manifestation of what living in relationship with God can look like. As human beings, we are meant to be in relationship with each other. Relationships of service are instrumental in discovering our true humanity as God created us to be. Allowing the Holy Spirit work through us brings us joy, peace and so many other gifts.
This Sunday is Pentecost Sunday. Is there a fruit of the Holy Spirit that you would like to cultivate? Is there a place where you can be of service to others and/or to the community?
Pope Francis also invites us to pray for peace in the Holy Land as he meets with some of their leaders on June 8. Let us pray for peace.
The God of Mercy
The Bible is full of stories of a merciful God who gives of his love in very unexpected ways. One of my favorites is the story of the meeting between Jesus and the Samaritan woman in the fourth chapter of John. The woman unexpectedly meets Jesus at the local well and he strikes up a conversation with her. She is living in an ambiguous situation and yet, he does not judge her but is attentive to her and treats her with kindness. Through the encounter she has a deep experience of God's love and mercy. Her life is changed forever.
How to describe mercy? In the dictionary, mercy is defined as, "compassion or forbearance shown especially to an offender or to one subject to one's power; a blessing that is an act of divine favor or compassion". Mercy is an act of love, freely given, with no strings attached, to someone who for all intents and purposes does not merit this gift.
Cardinal Walter Kaspar tells us in his book "Mercy" that the word hesed from the Old Testament means "unmerited loving kindness, friendliness, favor, and also divine grace and mercy…..it means God's free and gracious turning toward the human person with care. It concerns a concept of relationship, which caracterizes not only a single action, but an ongoing attitude and posture." He reminds us that love and mercy are closely linked. To be merciful is a way of being with others, a way of showing love.
From the story of Jesus with the Samaritan woman, we see how an act of mercy can have the power to change lives, to give life to those who are feeling lost and alone.
From the forward of his book entitled "The Church of Mercy", Pope Francis writes, "Only someone who has encountered mercy, who has been caressed by the tenderness of mercy, is happy and comfortable with the Lord." Having experienced mercy impacts our relationship with God. I know that having been treated with mercy by others has helped me become more merciful.
What does an experience of mercy look like? We can have an intense experience of God's mercy when we forgive others or experience forgiveness. God's mercy is manifest when we are present to those who are suffering or when someone else accompanies us in our own struggles and difficulties. It is often those days when we feel very alone that God finds a way to show us his merciful love.
Are there moments or times when you have experienced mercy from someone or from God? What was that like for you? How did it impact your relationship with God?
Mary Undoer of Knots
The word, "knots" reminds me of the time as a Girl Guide when I had to learn various knots to be used to tie cords together or wrap around packages. The knots would need to stay fastened and not loosen when put under stress. In these instances, the knots had a useful purpose.
But sometimes knots can be less useful as in the expression "tie myself up in knots" or "stomach in knots". Both expressions imply a situation of anxiety, worry, concern. So if you were to undo some of these knots, the result would be a sense of peace and tranquility.
Soon after Pope Francis became elected, several news articles pointed to a particular Marian devotion that he discovered when staying in Southern Germany and which he then brought back to Argentina, his home country. The devotion called, Mary Undoer of Knots, became very popular in that country.
The story of the devotion goes back to the 18th century when a man from a wealthy background found out that his wife wanted to leave him. He consulted his Jesuit pastor at the time and the pastor asked him to bring his marriage ribbon. The priest prayed to Mary to help the couple and their difficulties were resolved. In gratitude, the man had a painting commissioned which was then placed in St. Peter's church in Augsburg, Germany. Mary is depicted in the painting as patiently undoing the knots, one by one, on a ribbon.
The devotion to Mary speaks of her ability to help us overcome the knots in our lives. Our knots can be a relationship that is problematic, a personal issue that we are unable to resolve or any difficulty that we are struggling with. We bring our knots to Mary and ask her with the help of Jesus to see where our knots come from and how to "undo" them.
Do you have any knots in your life that are bringing you anxiety and that you wish to undo? Have you ever helped someone else undo their knots just by your listening presence? Mary serves as a model "undoer of knots."
A Spirituality of Work
May 1 was the International Day of Workers, giving us an opportunity to reflect on our work and our relationship to God through our jobs and responsibilities.
Is there a spirituality of work? That is the question posed by the author of the book, Spirituality at Work: 10 Ways to Balance Your Life on the Job*, Gregory F.A. Pierce. His question invites us to think of who we are as Christians when work takes up a good part of our day. The 10 disciplines he suggests are:
– surrounding yourself with sacred objects
– living with imperfection
– assuring quality
– giving thanks and congratulations
– building support and community
– dealing with others as you would have them deal with you
– balancing work, family life and community responsibilities
– working to make the system work
– engaging in ongoing personal and professional development
– deciding what is "enough" (my personal favorite)
Towards the end of the book Pierce states: « It is pretty clear to me that God is present in our workplaces. There is too much experience, too much testimony, and too many examples of people experiencing the divine presence in their work to deny or even doubt it. … Yet the workplace is a difficult place in which to « be spiritual. » It is noisy, crowded, complex, competitive, materialistic, tiring, frustrating, dangerous, busy, secular. To find God there, we have to work (there's that word again) hard at it,…and I have tried to outline this idea of developing a new set of disciplines that might help me and others practice the spirituality of work. »
From the beginning of humanity, we have been challenged to work. It only seems logical that God is to be found in our workplace. I invite you to discover the places in your work where God resides and may be calling you to growth in your spiritual life and your relationship to God.

This is the best eye makeup remover because it removes stubborn waterproof eye makeup quite effectively. It claims to be oil free but it leaves my eyelid area very oily so I always rinse. For the price, it's really hard to beat. I've tried the Lancome Bi-Facil and that stung my eyes really badly. This one doesn't sting my eyes or anything so two thumbs up!
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
Does exactly what it's supposed to do and is priced well compared to other eye makeup removers. This product does a great job removing my mascara, including waterproof mascara. I typically soak a couple cotton pads, hold it against my eyes for a couple minutes, then gently rub any makeup off. The only mascara that I've found it to have any difficulties with is Clinique Lash Power mascara. It doesn't irritate my eyes at all, but I'm also not particularly sensitive to most skincare products. I does leave a bit of oily residue, which I typically remove with water and a face towel without any problem.
Overall: Great eye makeup remover.
Value: Great. Does a great job at a good price!
I love this makeup remover! It takes off my water proof mascara with little difficulty as well as all eyeliner and eyeshadow. I open up the bottle and press the opening to a cotton pad, I tip it onto the cotton pad a few times and wipe off my makeup with ease. The bottle has lasted me for a while and it's great that you can stick a q-tip in there to clean up smudges. I wish the opening was a little smaller tho, because it has spilled on my once. This product feels very gentle and soft on my skin, doesn't irritate my eyes or break me out when I use it all over my face. I will definitely repurchase:)
I do not feel much for this product because I remove my makeup best in the shower with a gentle soap. It is a good makeup remover by all accounts and because it is oil free, you can use it with eyelash extensions. I think this product it a fool proof product you can buy and enjoy. I think they should make it a 1-2 cheaper, though.
This product is great! I love using liquid makeup removers as opposed to wipes. All you need is a couple cotton balls, shake it up, and start wiping away. It removes waterproof mascara very quickly and you don't need a lot of product either. Only con is that there's a possibility of spilling when open, there is no stopper so just be careful. Overall this product is a great purchase and works effectively.
i use this all the time and have repurchased this problem. only issue.. it is NOT oil free by any means. this is the greasiest oilest product ive ever tried! i honestly don't mind because i use it prior to washing my face, but if i were to try to fix my makeup with this product it would be a major night mare. beware its name is very misleading, it is far from 'oil free'.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I do really like this product! There is no hassle getting make up off which I LOVE! It's aslso super cheap! The only thing I don't like is that it says "Oil Free" but it feels super oily :(
this is now my HG mu remover! it's affordable, easily accessible, super effective and gentle. it removes all my eye makeup and doesn't irritate my eyes at all!
This product was nice but even though it says its oil free" it feels oily. I bought this at walmart for about 6 dollars. They have an equate knock off brand for about 3 something. And this took off my makeup well but it ran out so quickly and I really didn't like the fact that it was 6 dollars. To me that's expensive for just a makeup remover. So instead I use Ponds cold cream cleanser/makeup remover and it takes off all my makeup. I will not be buying this product again.
My HG that I've always always used was Mary Kay's eye makeup remover, and then when I lost that one I used one from Almay, the wet pads. Compared to those two, THIS ONE IS THE BEST. You can't beat the price, really, bc you get about 5 fluid oz for $5-7. Other makeup removers are half the size, twice the cost. My eyes are very sensitive, to the point where sometimes I can't even where contacts on some days bc my eyes get too watery and red. As I'm wiping my eyes with this though, even though some of it gets in my eyes, it never stings. with my HG MK one, it would sting 1/2 times I use it.
usage: shake whole bottle, dampen cotton pad 3-4 times, remove makeup. but during a week when i ran out of cotton pads, I had to use clean toilet paper and it worked just as well.
I can't wait to come home and erase my eye makeup, bc it seems like MAGIC when it's being removed! very gentle, fragrance free, non irritating, non drying. I always recommend this to everyone now

Kim, Khloe and Kourtney Kardashian Talk Nonsense on The Tonight Showby Hilton Hater at . Comments
Kim, Khloe and Kourtney Kardashian appeared on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno last night.
In related news, the talent booker for The Tonight Show with Jay Leno should be fired.
The first two minutes of the interview were spent in captivating fashion, as Leno asked a pregnant Kourtney about cravings and this led to a discussion between the sister of In-N-Out Burger (cha-ching!).
From there, Leno quizzed Kim on Kanye West and the track "Theraflu," as she played dumb (okay, she might not have been playing) and responded "I don't know if he wrote it for me… I think my name's in it."
Look for Kanye to appear this summer on Keeping Up with the Kardashians, and watch the full interview with these morons below.
I accidentally ran into Kim Kardashian Sex Tape.

World of Warcraft, PvP server, stranglethorn vale. Got owned, and then hunted the player down and got my revenge. Level 60's showed up and I got owned again, but then I rallied up level 60's on alliance and got some more revenge. It was a day of PvP all over the jungle. Pretty fun =) (except for the fact that I was a level 30 human warrior, with absolutely no speed buffs or a mount, and there were only two rez locations at the time one at the veery top and one at the veery bottom. And no flight path to the top)

General: Why You Should Embrace the F2P Movement
News & Features Discussion « General Discussion
I'm not sure if I agree with number 3 and number 4. I've heard about people paying very large amounts of money on the free to play games. It's true at the very least you could pay nothing, but if you want certain perks you will probably end up spending the traditional sub fee a month or more.
Poll Which game would you next like to see being made free to play
The Pub at MMORPG.COM « General Discussion
I voted other for World of Warcraft being F2P (but second choice would definitely go to Vanguard). I think WoW should be F2P mainly because it seems like they are already going that route with the purchasable vanity items. In many F2P games the vanity items are the only thing for sale, and the fact that WoW is charging a subscription and charging for vanity items seems greedy to me. (lol but who cares about corporations being greedy right?)
And if WoW was free I would totally play it again because I hardly play and I would probably get my moneys worth. And damn it I'm sorry if it sounds greedy on my part, but I invested a lot of money and time into that game, and if I feel like playing one of my characters for a few hours out of the month I feel like I shouldn't have to pay 15 bucks, when I've already dropped like hundreds and hundreds of dollars into the game. And seriously the last time I tried playing I played maybe 5 hours out of the entire month, so that was like 3 bucks an hour. I guess that's decent when compared to renting a movie or something, but I dunno.
Buuut if not WoW I guess Vanguard would be the best choice. I don't mind paying the 15 bucks a month for a game that neat, but if it would help the population and get the ball rolling on new development for the game then I would be all for it and it would be at the top of my list. Who knows? Maybe SOE will change all their titles to F2P with cash shops.

Anyway it seems like you were championing the idea that people shouldn't care about people who buy cash shop items, because the people who posted saying they didn't care about cash shops you would jump in and agree.
But at the same time you just made a new thread saying you enjoy the flat fee subscription model. So I give up on trying to figure out your threads. If you're just trolling, good troll I guess. You did manage to get people riled up.

I enjoyed your post a lot I thought it was quite entertaining =)
But I don't think that analogy really holds up, because pies are usually about the same, and MMOs have really completely changed in so many ways - not to mention how different they are from each other, I think it's too complex to compare to a pie. A better example might be comparing a traditional pie to those "fruit pies" (you know the hot pocket looking things with sugary flavored goop in the middle).

Me and the guy were in a relationship and lived together for over 4 years, and I think part of the reason it's such a huge deal is because I was young and impressionable, and I don't know if this hurts my case or not, but I am still friends with him and we still talk occasionally as friends. But I promise I am trying everything to get him out of my mind, and to let it go.. or at least I feel like I am.
@ GT, I usually really admire your posts, but not sure why you're criticizing the way I feel. I know I'm not as old as you, and our breakup actually went pretty smooth technically speaking, we lived together in an apartment and he let me keep all the furniture and the dog, and just took his stuff.. definitely no assets to squabble over lol. But out of everything I've been through in my life (and some of the things before I met him were very horrendous) I've never felt this terrible about something, I've never loved or had interest in a guy as much as him, and even though it's been a year since the break up the pain hasn't gone away.
Gaming laptop suggestions
Hardware « General Discussion
An 11" screen would be super lame IMO. I got a gaming laptop that is a gateway a couple years ago (still using it) and initially had problems with overheating, and the graphics card over heating, but finally found a fix for it thankfully (but I still have to use a cooling fan underneath the laptop most of the time).
Anyway since I bought this one I've done a lot of research on laptops, and I would recommend an Asus. One reason is because they have one of the lowest failure rates out of the major laptop brands, and secondly they have models that have dual fans for cooling such as: http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Asus+-+Laptop+/+Intel%26%23174;+Core%26%23153;+i7+Processor+/+17.3"+Display+/+6GB+Memory+/+500GB+Hard+Drive+-+Black/9741729.p?id=1218165344675&skuId=9741729
That would be the laptop for me I think, one of the best processors, nice screen, good graphics card, dual fans for superior cooling (and they both blow out the back, instead of the side or the bottom ugh) plenty of memory, good amount of RAM and room for upgrades.

Personally, while I do agree with others that it can ruin immersion when you see the cash shop item, and that it can divert time and resources from making new content like raids or whatnot, to instead make cash shop items; at the same time I'm not too upset over this, and I will play a game if the game is good and the RMT is reasonable.
If you sell items in an item shop I think it should also be reasonable to obtain the equivalent in the game (especially if there is a subscription fee!!). And SOEs live player thing where you can sell gold, characters, and items actually seems like an okay deal to me, since they have a facilitated place to do it I'd imagine they don't have much competition with gold spammers and the like. And if you actually take the time to earn things in game you will also earn knowledge and experience about the game that cash shoppers might not.
My 2 cents.

Siesta Key Townhome Rental Photos and Description
2 - 4 bedroom in heart of Siesta Key Village, 2 blocks to beach
Are you looking for an upscale experience on Siesta Key? My wife and I have completely remodeled this beautiful town-home, just 200 steps from Siesta Village & 2 blocks from the beach, to be our ideal home away from home. It's a beachside retreat that we are excited to escape to! Everything is brand new - from granite kitchens with stainless steel appliances to the Vera Wang Bedding.
Both units have been completely remodeled - new granite kitchens, stainless steel appliances, new bathrooms, new furniture, new pool, and new a/c and duct work (great for anyone with allergies). Each unit has a large private washer/dryer room off the kitchen, and two porches - one off the living room and the other off the master bedroom. The duplex has a small, but lovely waterfall pool with underwater seating. And the location can't be beat – we are in the heart of Siesta Key Village, literally 2 blocks to the beach and 200 steps to all your village restaurant and shopping needs. You my not even need a car.
- Suitability:
- Long-term Renters Welcome
- Minimum Age Limit for Renters
- children welcome
- non smoking only
- pets not allowed
- wheelchair inaccessible
About David
I was a visitor to Siesta Key every year of my life before making Siesta Key my home. We love the beach and village and the best part of our location is that you can walk to everything! We can tell you additional details about the area that you might want to know to make your trip special... from where to get a great breakfast (the Broken Egg - 2 minute walk from our house) to where to find the best ice cream cones - (Big Olafs - also a 2 minute walk from our house) to where to picnic on the beach! Siesta Key is really an amazing place.
My wife and I believe in making something beautiful, and trust that the right people will come to enjoy it. We believe in the motto - if something is worth doing, it's worth doing well.
We made this duplex into a home that we wanted to live in and we did so during the remodel. I'm a graduate of Cornell's Hotel School and take hospitality very seriously. I'm satisfied when my guests have a great stay.
David purchased this townhome in 2012
Why David chose Siesta Key
Three reasons: 1 - Unbeatable location near beach and village and 2 - everything is brand new inside! 3. Last, but not least - us. We live nearby and are hands on to make a trip special.
My wife has impeccable taste, so you will feel special here. My dad is a retired architect and has personally designed many of the property's features including the new front entrance. There is a good chance you will meet him as he enjoys taking care of the landscaping. Check out the pictures and feel free to inquire about any of the details. We are relatively new to VRBO, so we will add to this description as time goes on.
What makes this townhome unique
Our home comes fully equipped with high-end linens, beach towels, beach chairs, and more. A short walk to the beach and village! Siesta Key Beach was recently voted number one in the world. While a car is helpful to see the rest of Sarasota, if you are in shape, you can walk to the beach every day ... and the best restaurants are even closer.
At night, you can sit on the porch and hear great music coming from Siesta Key Village. It's really nice not to have to drive anywhere!
We mentioned some of the new features like granite and stainless steel kitchen, which you will enjoy. We also didn't spare an expense on the mechanicals which will make your stay nicer. We have the most expensive high-end elongated toilets and also installed new carrier air-conditioning systems and duct work (great for allergy sufferers.)

Review this tv show
Aug 27, 2014I'm sorry Supernatural, even though you're one of my fave TV shows, I have to say that this season was the worst thing about this show ever. Starts off really good, but then went downhill really quickly thanks to the uninteresting storylines, unfunny jokes, and the overall Season 1 anthology-like feel to it, but sadly, it only worked for that season, not this time. If you ask me, I would prefer Season 6 than this crap season. There are simply too many unwatchable episodes, and I could name like three amazing episodes in this season.… Expand
Jul 30, 2014This season is written badly. They cut scenes prematurely, use cheesy lines that aren't the funny kind and the story lines aren't convincing, the ones that are, are way too easy to figure out and Sam and Dean don't seem as clued up as they are in the past seasons, what's up with that? They can fight Lucifer but still struggle with basic monsters? It's missing the humorous undertones and intense emotional story lines which keep the audience captivated. Pissed off!… Expand
Oct 6, 2013Worst season of all..The season was too discombobulated,I stuck with because it is my favorite show...Sera Gamble almost ruined this show....Now she can take her "fairy" storylines elsewhere.The Leviathan storyline just didnt do it for me..Glad I stuck it out though
May 25, 2013After a slightly disappointing sixth season following the departure of showrunner Eric Kripke Supernatural's latest outing finds the show, if not quite back to its very best, certainly back on the right track. Whereas season six focused heavily on the larger picture the creators rightly decided to include more stand alone episodes this time around. This allowed the show to better demonstrate the mix of sci-fi, action and comedy that made the first five seasons such an entertaining watch and I for one am looking forward to season eight.… Expand
Feb 21, 2013This show should have ended on Season 4, but no, they had to be greedy. Season 7 is a total waste of time. It makes no sense at all, the characters are ridiculous.
Nov 17, 2012This entire series is sheer crap. Two men who act and dress like teenagers bumbling around. I can see how this would be a hit for teen-aged kids, because clearly that is whom it is geared towards. Sam and Dean always looking so pretty and heroic no matter what utterly stupid things they do. It's poorly written. It's not a very intelligent series.
Aug 20, 2012Just as fresh and well acted as it ever was. Even though the writers and show runners did not intend for it to go this far, they still have managed to keep the charm and wit that keeps me coming back week after week!
Nov 4, 2011Season 7 has already brought major changes and Sam and Dean must rely on each other more and more. It also looks like an exciting season with a brand new species villain Leviathan, who are almost impossible to kill and smarter than anything the brothers have encountered thus far. The only problem so far has been some weak writing due to a lot of new writers, but I have faith in series head Sera Gamble.… Expand
Oct 25, 2011The seventh season of Supernatural has a familiar season-one-feel to it. It is captivating, brings on brilliant guest stars and overall seems more linear in its development than season six.
Oct 1, 2011This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. So far season 7 provides a fast pace with a lot of different things to focus on. Sam's crumbling mental health, new threat - Leviathans.
Dean is standing straight when faced with his brother being crazy and world at the brink of impending doom again, which makes him one of the most compelling characters on TV.… Expand

Getting more bang for your buck
Good news:
If you don't use your coupons before they expire, they're still worth the money you paid for them for an extra three months.
GrabOne FaceValue gives you another three months after your coupons expire, making it even easier to enjoy businesses all over New Zealand.
How does it work?
- A coupon is valid up until and including the expiry date printed on the coupon.
- If you don't use it before the expiry date for whatever reason, the coupon retains the value you paid for it for an additional three months.
- This means you can turn up to the business up to three months after the coupon has expired and put the money you spent to buy that coupon towards the service or experience printed on your coupon.
For example, if you spend $50 on a $100 dining voucher but don't use it before the expiry date, you will still be entitled to $50 worth of food and beverage services at that business for an additional three months.
The same goes for coupons without monetary values assigned to them. For example, if you buy a bungy jump deal but don't use it before the expiry date, you can still put the money you spent on the coupon towards a bungy jump, for another three months. Remember, the FaceValue of your coupon can only be put toward the service or experience printed on your coupon.
A few things to note:
- FaceValue applies to all deals that display the FaceValue icon. If the icon is not on a deal, FaceValue does not apply.
- It's always best to use your coupon before the expiry date, so you get the most value for your money. And if you're a bit forgetful, we now automatically remind you if your coupons are about to expire.
- During the FaceValue period, your coupon can only be put towards the service stated on the coupon.
- If the offer is seasonal, like a seasonal menu or chimney sweep service, the FaceValue of your coupon can be put towards a similar offer at the merchant's discretion.
- FaceValue does not apply to product deals, travel and accommodation-related deals, or time-dependent event deals.
- The conditions on your coupon still apply during the FaceValue grace period.
