Too many times, I have seen PPC Performance drop significantly due to changes that were done to either the shopping cart, or a Web to Lead Form.

Reviews for Slow-Cooked Cabbage Rolls(17)
Sort By :
For never having made cabbage rolls before this was a fairly simple recipe and the results were excellant! My husband was in seventh heaven and when he took leftovers to work received several requests for the recipe. Definitely a keeper
I don't understand how to roll them - I'm rating it but haven't tried it yet - they are making me in order to submit ?? ;)
I enjoyed this recipe very much. I did not have V8, so I used an assortment of tomato sauces. I also added seasons and spices per the advice of other reviews. I used 2 lbs of ground beef, which I think took away from the flavor. All in all a good, hearty meal. Thanks
hey y'all... I found this through my slow cooker cookbook I downloaded for my Kindle. We didn't have the bell pepper so we substituted a jalapeno pepper cored, seeded, & chopped up. It was a very good dish, but I think next time I make it I will add a little more something to kick up the flavor a little bit. This one is
definitely going in my "keeper" pile!! Even the 8 yr old scarfed it down once she tasted it... Made a big pot of beans to go with it and it was a full meal after a day of working around the house!! Thanks again!
First time ever making cabbage rolls. EASY... DELICIOUS. Brought some to work for lunch and the whole clinic wants me to make them for our next pot luck. Thanks so much!

Having been catalogued and preserved in the Foundation's climate controlled vault since Ritts' untimely death in December 2002, these rare and unique works exist in limited numbers and in many instances are the only print available. Original works, measuring 11 x 14 inches, they were printed and approved by Ritts during his lifetime. Each photograph is editioned and marked with the Foundation stamp on the reverse. Examples include Cindy Crawford 1, Bahamas, 1993; Stephanie Seymour 1, Hawaii, 1988; Sting 1, Malibu, 1990 and Naomi Campbell, Versace 1, El Mirage, 1990.
The exhibition will also comprise a selection of Herb's well-known editioned images, including three monumental, rare oversized works: Fred with Tires, Hollywood, 1984; Stephanie, Cindy, Christie, Tatajana, Naomi, Hollywood, 1989 and Naomi Campbell, Seated, Hollywood, 1991. These each measure 60 x 40 inches.
Ritts began his photographic career in the late seventies. In addition to producing portraits and editorial fashion for Vogue and Vanity Fair he also created successful advertising campaigns for Calvin Klein, Chanel and Gap amongst others. Ritts directed numerous influential and award winning music videos and commercials and his photography has been the subject of exhibitions worldwide, with works residing in many significant public and private collections.

This election is only tangentially a fight over policy. It is also a fight about meaning and identity — and that's one reason voters are so polarized. It's about who we are and who we aspire to be.
President Obama enters the final days of the campaign with a substantial lead among women — about 11 points, according to the latest Washington Post/ABC News poll — and enormous leads among Latinos and African Americans, the nation's two largest minority groups. Mitt Romney leads among white voters, with an incredible 2-to-1 advantage among white men.

"Probably about five minutes before we open the door," Darcy said laughing at the long journey the casino has made to arrive at its planned opening on August 1. Corporate Marketing Director for Nevada Casino Holdings Michael Kipper said Bourbon Street Casino will come to life on July 25 when crucial elements of the casino arrive.
"We start placing slot machines around the 25th and that is when things will really start to take shape," Kipper said Tuesday. "When the machines hit the floor and we can really see that this is a casino."
Construction crews continued transforming the former Silver Club casino into the incoming New Orleans-themed venue Tuesday as upstairs employees shuffled through dozens of job applications while fielding phone calls concerning various components of the upcoming grand opening.
"We are there and still on track," Darcy said. "We are doing the orientation starting next week and we are making callbacks for hiring right now."
The outside of the Sparks building has received a fresh coat of Bourbon Street paint and a new electronic reader board, announcing the grand opening and some food specials for the Bourbon Street Buffet. Darcy said awnings and letters will begin going up as early as July 25, and she added that billboards have been up throughout Sparks since July 1. Television commercials have been running on local stations as well.
Darcy said the main lobby construction has become disguised on a daily basis, which comes as part of walking through it continuously for about 70 days. However, a great deal of work has been done to the indoor portion of the casino with much more to come in the next two weeks.
"We don't really see too much because we have kind of gotten accustomed to it," Darcy said of the construction, "But last week when we came in from having Sunday off I realized they had dry-walled all the pillars that was a big step. It is not usually something big for us to see it now because we have been living in perpetual construction."
Bourbon Street Casino will mark the sixth casino opened by Nevada Casino Holdings, LLC and the new Victorian Avenue locale allowed for hiring of about 100 people for various positions. The casino will be equipped with about 300 slot machines, two bars and one restaurant on a completely redesigned main floor.
Bourbon Street Casino is allowing special Player's Club cards to the first 500 people entering the door or applying for them online for the grand opening. Kipper said to avoid huge lines and guarantee a player's club, apply online at www.northernstarcasinos.com.
"We have only made them available for the first 500 folks and once they are gone, they're gone and we will never print them again," Kipper said. "Those will be player's cards that can be used forever."
Darcy said Tuesday that no plans will be made for the Silver Club Hotel, located behind the new casino on C Street, for "six months to a year" hoping to establish the casino first. The casino will open August 1 with the official time of opening to be announced soon.

A great store of legends has grown up around the man who was pope at this most important time, but very little can be established historically. We know for sure that his papacy lasted from 314 until his death in 335. Reading between the lines of history, we are assured that only a very strong and wise man could have preserved the essential independence of the Church in the face of the overpowering figure of the Emperor Constantine. The bishops in general remained loyal to the Holy See and at times expressed apologies to Sylvester for undertaking important ecclesiastical projects at the urging of Constantine.

A German immigrant advises others about coming to Wisconsin (1849)
Nordamerika, Wisconsin, Calumet: winke fur auswanderer
Carl de Haas, a young German schoolteacher, came to Calumet, Wisconsin, in 1847. Impressed with what he found upon his arrival, de Haas wrote this immigrant guide and had it published in Germany to encourage others to emigrate to his new home. Though not the first emigrant guide, de Haas' book was one of the most influential. While many Europeans tended to look at reports from the U.S. with suspicion,
Nordamerika, Wisconsin, Calumet
was widely regarded as trustworthy for its honest approach, and helped other German immigrants plan their own voyages based on de Haas' personal experiences.
We give here a 1943 translation into English, followed by the original German edition (in two parts, dated 1848 and 1849).

"I Have What!"
It all started with a simple flake on the back of my head. I remember it well. I was sitting on my couch when I reached up and came away with a tiny bit of dry skin. It resembled the flakes which had plagued our yellow lab, Darlene whom I had adopted from the pound months ago. My first thought was "that darn dog got me!". I had been treating her for a mystery illness for a number of months. It started with flakes on her coat and progressed to open, bleeding sores before it was effectively treated with a few applications medicated foot powder (after multiple visits to various vets and several expensive prescriptions). My ailment turned out to be a tad more complicated to diagnose and treat and nearly cost me my life. I was ultimately diagnosed with Pemphigus Vulgaris, a rare autoimmune disorder.
The year preceding my diagnosis was the busiest, most productive, fulfilling, and happiest time of my life. I was living the American dream and felt that I had it all. The year was 1998. I was working as a psychotherapist in a prison. I specialized in HIV/AIDS counseling challenging work that I loved. I had delivered many an HIV positive finding over the years and sat at more than one death bed. I knew first hand the life impact of serious illness and the struggle of painful death intimately. It did not prepare me for the beast, my name for P.V. It attacks every area of one's life like a savage beast which must be battled continuously and ferociously in order to keep it at bay.
My husband of fifteen years worked as a Classification Officer at the same prison. Our offices were across the hall from one another. We used our commute to and from work as private down time. We shared many friends and interests. Our marriage, though we had some rocky times in our early years was rock solid. We felt truly blessed and happy. We were raising three healthy, bright and beautiful children together; Stephen, then 13, Nicholas, 10 and our precious baby daughter Samantha 3. We had a lovely, well decorated, four bedroom ranch style house with the requisite swimming pool in an upscale neighborhood in a small suburban town near Orlando, Florida. Life was incredibly good.
We appreciated our blessings and strove to serve others. We taught compassion for others through example to our children. We were active in our church. I taught Sunday school and was involved in establishing a non profit prison ministry geared toward helping HIV positive inmates reenter society post release from prison. Tim, my husband, and his friend Dave were creating Christian comedy CD's. One of their skits was acted out by my Sunday school class that spring. Our lives were busy with the boy's sporting events and these activities. We were happy and content, blissfully unaware of the nightmare to come.
The one thing which marred 1998 was the passing of my dear mother in law in June. While we mourned her, we were comforted that she was pain free at last after a mufti decade battle with rheumatoid arthritis.
In August I started a doctoral program in counseling. I was a bit apprehensive about this undertaking due to the financial and time commitments involved. However, I was secure in Tim's love and support of me in actualizing this dream. I had always counted on his support to soar for the stars.
Thus, we were totally unprepared for the invasion of the beast. The flake I mentioned went away, but returned with friends. I finally made an appointment with our family physician in September. He listened to my symptoms and gave me an anti fungal shampoo prescription with the statement of "It's probably something you picked up at work. Come back if it doesn't clear up." I was totally unconcerned. I used the shampoo and resumed my life.
Unfortunately the flakes returned. I noticed that as I removed the flakes, this skin underneath would be pink. Then instead of healing, more flakes would appear and the area would grow larger. Of course, I ignored it until it became painful to wash and comb my hair. After the holidays that year, I made another doctor's appointment. This time the only available appointment was with a physician's assistant. He prescribed an antibiotic, a different shampoo and scheduled a biopsy stating "it's probably just something fungal."
Meanwhile, I was developing dime and then quarter sized open sores all over my head. I returned to the HMO Doctors repeatedly. Eventually I saw a nurse practitioner twice, the physician's assistant three times, and a rather cranky MD He actually got out the medical book and scornfully told me I had psoriasis pointing to the pictures with "it's nothing that could kill you!'. Needless, to say I felt rather foolish and perhaps that I was over reacting to the whole thing.
Finally, mostly to get rid of me, I was referred to a dermatologist. One of the multitudes of medical staff who treated me suggested I had lupus. I had a colleague at the time with this disease. I researched it and was frightened by the possibility of this illness. Little did I know that it would have been a gift!
Life went on. I celebrated my 36th birthday. My symptoms continued to worsen. I noticed that whenever my long hair touched my back, I had these red painful sores. I concluded that whatever mystery illness was in my scalp was spreading to my skin through my hair. I started wearing my hair up in a braid or twist to keep it off of my skin.
I continued to treat clients individually and through an HIV support and educational support group I facilitated. I added an anger management group to the program. I truly loved helping others come to grips with their illness. I tried to provide acceptance, encouragement, and love to a population which was feared and rejected by their peers especially in prison. I saw my work as rewarding and worthy of the effort. I barely acknowledged my symptoms as I went about my busy life. I had an appointment to see the dermatologist that June and I half expected him to scold me for wasting his time.
He turned out to be a highly caring and competent professional. He examined me and ordered a biopsy and blood test. Both were done in his office that day. He scheduled a follow up in two weeks when we would review the results. He mentioned lupus as a rule out but did not seem overly concerned. I was in agony at this point and the first glimpses of fear that this could be serious were starting to surface at the edges of awareness. Showering and wearing clothing was extremely painful.
Our family went beach camping that weekend. I remember walking the beach collecting sea shells with Sammie, feeding the pelicans, and fishing with the boys until midnight. It was our last idyllic trip as a family. I returned to work covered in what I thought was strange bug bites all over my arms and legs. I also noticed these painful blisters on my gums which I thought were cold sores. Little did I know that the beast was going wild.
My fear increased when I received a phone call from the dermatologist's office at work. The nurse informed me that the results from the tests were in and that the doctor wanted to see me that day. I knew something was drastically wrong at that point as it had taken two months to get the appointment to see him and suddenly, there was an opening that day and a week sooner than scheduled! Still, I made the appointment for as late in the day as possible so as not to interrupt group. The date was June 22.
As it happened, on that day I was planning to have dinner at my friend's mother's house. Thus, after work it was Melanie, rather than Tim who accompanied me to the doctor's office. As we waited in his immaculate examining room overlooking the pretty lake we chatted about every day things like the ministry, work, our plans for that evening. Neither of us seemed apprehensive. I was most concerned about being tardy for dinner.
The doctor came in looking rather serious, and after introductions stated "You've tested positive for Pemphigus Vulgaris. It is a rare disorder but there are treatments. I'll give you some literature and get you started on medication." I did not register at that time that Melanie, a nurse practitioner, turned white and tears sprung to her eyes. All I kept repeating was "But at least I don't have lupus, right?…I have what? What is that called again?" He kindly told me that the first few appointments were mostly counseling. I thought, "Counseling! You've got to be kidding! What do I need counseling for? I'm a therapist! For Pete's sake that's what I do!" These thoughts were reeling through my head as the nurse gave me information on the beast and various prescriptions.
I did not comprehend why Melanie kept asking me if I'm OK. I did not read the literature in the car as I get motion sickness if I try to read in a moving vehicle. Later we were busy with dinner at her mother's. She and a friend prayed for me afterward. It was only later that night as I lay in bed when I read words like 'fatality' and 'mortality' did the reality of the enormity of the diagnosis begin to sink in….I had forever left the world of the healthy and entered the nightmare existence of the beast battle! Over the next two years, I watched my marriage crumble, my work life end, and every relationship be tested to the limit (and some to the breaking point). I also experienced the most excruciating physical pain imaginable and had days when death seemed like a blessing. My idyllic world was over. I made incredibly foolish decisions. I experienced depression, anxiety, and anger more intense than I thought possible (side effects of the medications). The beast came to devour and devastate every aspect of my world…that was the beginning of the battle….
The next article will document the journey back to health, the battle over the "beast"…
As a therapist, I am well aware of the grief stages one goes though when faced with a life threatening illness yet only in hindsight can I document each stage I experienced. I went to work the day after my diagnosis, thus the denial kicked in instantly. I lasted until noon before giving up and going home. I shared the news with my supervisor and two collegues who were shocked of course.
I was determined that my life would not change, little did I realize that it already had forever. I was initially treated with 80 mg. of Prednisone and 150 mg of Imuran. As I read the side effects of prednisone my initial reaction was "Great, this stuff will make me look like Quasi Motto and act like a psych patient!". Little did I know how accurate this description would be!
My face immediately expanded and eventually my body as well despite daily workouts initially. Almost immediately I began experiencing depressive symptoms both from the medication and from the fact of dealing with a life threatening illness. I also had trouble with concentration, insomnia, lethargy, fatigue, and irritability. I vividly remember this feeling of wanting to jump out of my skin and strangle the nearest person who irritated me (and everything seemed to suddenly irritate me!). I somehow managed to function and keep it together at work but fell apart at home in front of my family. Ms. Super-efficient at everything could barely make it through the day. I crashed and burned five weeks post diagnosis and went out on medical leave.
Initially my friends and family rallied around me. There were offers of prepared meals, prayers, and many words of comfort, sympathy, and encouragement. I had a difficult time with this, as I resented being pitied. What was most helpful was the friends who were simply there and doing activities with me rather than trying to tell me how I should be feeling and behaving. The telling of the diagnosis became wearisome as did dealing with people's reactions. I often found myself comforting the other person rather than expressing my own true feelings.
We tried to resume our family life as before. In July we went camping in South Carolina as we had other years where my foster parents had retired. We even met friends there. Unfortunately, I ended up in the emergency room with severe bronchitis, probably due to a lowered immune system from the medications.
It was startling to be a 'patient' rather than a clinician. The emergency room doctor almost sent me away suspecting a panic attack. Luckily, he had the sense to order a chest x-ray which supported my symptomalogy. We ended our vacation early. I was on aninhaler, antibiotics, narcotic pain medication as well as the immune suppressants.
Determined to maintain my professional identity, I returned to work five weeks later. The pemphigus symptoms had started to improve and I felt that I was starting to stabilize.
I also found the on line support group. For several months, all I could do was read the postings. I remember deleting anything describing severe symptoms thinking "This will never be me!" How wrong I was!
Almost immediately after diagnosis well meaning friends and acquaintances approached me with "cure alls". I actually purchased a $50 tub of powder called Ambrotose which was supposed to 'balance my immune system'. It did nothing and I discontinued it after a month.
I was not so fortunate with the Noni Juice Mel, the nurse practitioner, purchased for me and insisted I take in order to "balance my immune system and avoid taking all that toxic junk". It boosted my immune system in January of 2000 and triggered the most horrendous flare which nearly killed me! Prior to taking this vile tasting stuff, I had stabilized. Everything was healing and I was able to reduce the pred. to 20mg and was still taking the Imuran. Afterwards, nothing seemed to work. Once more I was on medical leave.
This time however, the beast refused to be tamed. The dermatologist increased my prednisone to 100 mg. and switched me to methotrexate. The symptoms worsened. Next we tried Neoral and the decline continued. I was fortunate to have a wonderful medical team locally who fought for me to get the best care possible. I was referred to Shands Hospital in Gainesville for an evaluation. The low point to date came in June when I tested positive for the antibodies to paraneoplastic pemphigus or super beast. I underwent all of the cancer tests, which mercifully were all negative. Dr. Knipe, my local dermatologist performed a second biopsy which ruled out P.P. I never thought that I would be thankful to ONLY have the beast!
I refused to return to Shands for further treatment when the specialist informed me that some patients just 'have to live with blistering'. He was not very familiar with I.V.I.G. or plasmapheresis, treatments I had learned about from the discussion group and my own research. I don't believe that I would be alive today had I remained in his care.
The online discussion group helped me tremendously in my fight for life.
Through this venue I learned about Dr. Anhalt and his research at Johns Hopkins. After much haggling and arguing with the insurance company, I traveled to Baltimore for my first evaluation, and thus took the first step back to health. He reduced my prednisone to 60 mg. and restarted the Imuran but at a much higher dose, 350 mg. My flare immediately worsened. Two local I.V.I.G. treatments also proved ineffective. My symptoms improved slightly for a few days after each treatment but almost immediately worsened.
At this point I had huge areas on my back without skin as well as open bleeding sores on my scalp, stomach, and under my breasts. I was in constant agony. I also had to keep a chart of what medication to take when as I was on so many different kinds!
At home I was impossible to live with. I flew into rages over the slightest things. I could not sleep. I gave away money to a conman I imagined I was helping. My husband moved out of our bedroom that July. Our previously happy home became a battle ground. Somehow, I managed to attend school periodically. I cried recently when I read several papers from that time period. I could not concentrate. I was paranoid. I put on a happy face for the world but at home I completely fell apart. I had serious conflicts with our then fifteen- year old son and my husband. My world was spinning out of control.
I entered the hospital at Johns Hopkins at the beginning of October, 2000 and spent almost the rest of the month there. I had never been sicker.
My blood pressure dropped precariously after the second plasmapheresis treatment. I came to after spending forty minutes in a dark tunnel and feeling incredibly cold to two nurses trying to bring me back and surrounding me in heating packs. My mother traveled to Baltimore from Phoenix to be with me. We had become estranged during my 'insane period' and we reconnected in the hospital.
I was not an easy patient. I refused to lie in bed. I hobbled to the smoking area several times a day and refused the hebrin shots in the belly. Victories were reduced to daily sponge baths, the ability to leave the hospital room, and maintain as much independence as possible. I refused to wear hospital clothes and wore my own pajamas and robes. This gave me a small semblance of control and normalcy in an incredibly dehumanizing and terrifying situation.
Still I continued to deteriorate. I was terrified when Dr. Anhalt would enter the room shaking his head and stating "I have never seen the cocktail not work with anyone. You are a stubborn one!" I knew this was a make it or break it time for me. My life was in the balance. They released me three weeks later as my body could not stand any more plasmapheresis. I was sicker than ever. On the return flight to Orlando I was one of the first to board the plane as I obtained a medical boarding pass from the airline. Nobody would sit next to me. I truly looked a fright with my swollen face and body, thin prednisone fried hair, open sores on my face and scalp. Finally, a woman sat next to me when it was her only option in order to board the plane. I felt like a total leper and outcast! Death did not seem like such a bad prospect!
I returned home determined to mend my marriage. We celebrated our seventeen year anniversary with a dinner out. Three days later I was served with divorce papers at my front door. Apparently my husband had filed for divorce as I lay in the hospital fighting for my life. My marriage was over. I moved out January of 2001. I was terrified to be sick, single for the first time in two decades and alone!
Miraculously, the healing started. At first it was gradual and snail paced but as the months went by the blisters stopped popping and healing became a reality. I was forced to return to work prematurely by my supervisor or risk losing my retirement. I somehow hung in there for four months, despite a hospitalization for pneumonia, and retired officially due to disability July 11, 2001.
Since then, I have continued to heal and regain my health. I completed the academic portion of my doctoral program with a 3.67 G.P.A. (Much lower than the 4.0 of the past but finishing at all seemed impossible at some points!) I also passed the comprehensive examination November, 2001. I am currently forming my dissertation committee and submitting an intent to submit a proposal. I hope to complete my Ph.D. in counseling by the middle of next year. Of course, my subject is the beast! It is my final victory in the beast battle. I have traveled from patient to researcher of the beast!
Slowly I am restoring and rebuilding every area of my life. Professionally, I am in the process of opening a private practice along with two other therapists. Personally, Tim and I are once more dating and trying to rebuild and repair our relationship. Though restoration is a slow and often painful process, progress in all areas is clearly evident. I have come such a long way from the pain wracked days in the hospital room overlooking a brick corridor of buildings and praying for life!

Hosted by the Builders Association Charity, the inaugural Dash For Dads race will start with opening ceremonies at 8:30 a.m. From there, a 5k run will start at 9:00 a.m., followed by a two-mile walk and a kids fun run. Those interested in registering late can do so from 7:30-8:30 a.m.. All sponsorship money will go straight to PSA screening for men over 40. United Blood Services will also be on hand accepting blood donations during the event from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m.
The issue of raising awareness for prostate cancer has been around for some time now and this will be the inaugural Dash For Dads run. Like many other charity events, the Dash For Dads came about through a personal tribulation.
"One of our board members has actually been suffering with breast cancer," said Bobbie Merrigan, Executive Director of the Builders Association Charity. "She was diagnosed with breast cancer and we all talked about everything that she went through and how many resources were available for women and how many were not available for men, which is sort of where this idea derived from.
"We started talking about something for men and thought about a run and came up with Dash for Dads. We thought prostate cancer would be a good thing to target because it's becoming more and more prevalent, so that'd be a good place to start. That's where it came from. So we started the planning process and now we are here which is very fun. It's very exciting."
Now with the race upon us and over 350 racers pre-registered, those involved behind the scenes of putting the race together are excited for the opening gun. The person that crosses the finish line first will not be the biggest winner of the day though.
"I think I'm most excited that we are going to bring awareness to people in the community," Merrigan said. "The other day, one of my children asked me 'Mom, what do you think is going to be a success?' and I said 'If we save one person's life, we've done something amazing.' For the people that share their life with that person, their presence is very important. One of the things that they get with this is all men get a free prostate cancer exam with their participation in the race. If that encourages people, if we can encourage men to just get their PSA level tested, that's amazing. If we can get somebody diagnosed early, then the event is already a success."
For Merrigan, educating people about prostate cancer is the main goal of the entire day.
"It's definitely an opportunity to raise some awareness for prostate cancer," Merrigan said. "We enlisted the help of Urology Nevada, which is the title sponsor for the event. They totally got behind it. We want men to get engaged with what's going on with their body. The hardest thing about prostate cancer is that there aren't any symptoms until it's escalated to such a point that there isn't any going back.
"Men are so unlike women. Women, we sort of spew our feelings and we're looking to our girlfriends and our families for support and men are so not that way. Men don't want to talk about it. Men don't even want to tell people that they had a prostate cancer check, let alone that there might be an issue. I just think it's important to get the wives involved and then the kids as well so that they understand that this is for dad and this is important."
Adults will not be the only targets of the event though. With a kids fun run and a bounce house and face painting area set up, local youths will also get involved in the education.
"I think that it's important that we get children engaged early," Merrigan said. "I have three of my own and if we can get kids engaged early and get them to understand the importance of health and the importance of awareness, that is a big thing. Some of them aren't going to be old enough to really grasp the whole thing but if we can get families really thinking about their health, it really is a family thing. We want a healthier northern Nevada. These are friends and family and colleagues. All of us being healthier is going to make this a better place to live.
"Hopefully everyone walks away with a clearer understanding of prostate cancer. Urology Nevada is going to have doctors out there so there is going to be a lot of knowledge and information available to participants. Hopefully they'll feel like they've learned something and like they can make a difference so they'll want to come back next year. I just want them to walk away feeling like they were a part of something really important because they truly will be. I just think that if we all come together as a community. Hopefully it will continue to grow and grow. I hope people walk away feeling like they've made a difference."

Comments about Clark's Botanicals Smoothing Marine Cream-1.7 ooz:
Love this lotion. Use it for acne prone skin as well as softening to prevent wrinkles. I have very sensitive skin, which is prone to excema with any harsh chemicals, so it'stough to get a lotion that can do all this without causing serious irritation. This does it though!
One jar lasted me 4 months.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Evalle kept a city block between her and the Cresyl demon skulking along Peters Street through one of the riskier sections of downtown Atlanta after dark.
Three-in-the-morning dark. Graveyard quiet for a Sunday morning. Where were all the people leaving the bars? There should be more on the street than this.
But more importantly, who had sent a Cresyl demon into this territory—again—and why? Second time in ten days, and she wouldn't have identified this one so quickly if not for having studied up on them after the last one showed up and ruined her day.
So many nonhumans to learn about,... see more
