how to get rid of acne forevr they ruined my life
How To Get Rid Of Acne Forever
Posted 17 June 2013 - 06:01 AM
Posted 17 June 2013 - 07:35 AM
I wish I had an answer to give to you. Hopefully one day we will...
I'm going to use this as an opportunity to rant.
I have tried literally everything and it either dries me out or breaks me out. I can't win. The acne.org regimen was working for me, but I couldn't afford to carry on with it. Yeah there's the store-brand regimen supplies, but they're no way as effective.
I just had to get that off my mind.
Posted 17 June 2013 - 07:42 AM
Well if we had the answer for that, we wouldn't be dealing with this curse. I know it sucks and it's ruined my life too but you gotta keep fighting. You gotta know that you're not the only one and you have the whole acne.org to help you in dealing with acne. I've been depressed and there were times I just wanted to give up. It's a hard and grueling battle but it's all worth it in the end, and that I promise you. Peace!
by the way, have you tried consulting a dermatologist? Chances are they might be able to help you, the only downside it's not cheap.
Posted 17 June 2013 - 09:37 AM
tell us about what u have already tried?
tell us more about ur-
skincare routine?
Posted 17 June 2013 - 10:50 AM
There are so many other things that appear to look like acne. I feel that if you really have acne those topicals should work to clear it. If you don't have acne they will only reduce it slightly or not work at all.
If your an adult and you're suffering from nodules and pustules with red irritated skin, you could have Rosacea. Rosacea is adult acne and should be treated in a similar but totally different way than treating acne. You'll need a topical antibiotic that kills all bacteria including the kind that doesn't need oxygen to survive.

Offensive Game Ball:
Last week, Bryant had three catches against the Eagles with one of those coming on a nice, diving, adjusting catch for a touchdown. It was a step in the right direction for the receiver, who against the Falcons ran the same route, but because he didn't run the pattern in the right way, the ball was knocked away, preventing a touchdown. This week against the Browns, it was more about skill than it was smarts. I'm not saying that Bryant didn't run his routes well, the quarterback in the postgame even said he did, but this was more about physically beating his man, catching the ball and fighting his way up the field. Bryant is at his very best when he can play like this. Vertical routes, double moves, curls, slants are all a part of his game now. The fact that the quarterback has confidence in him despite all of the things that we think we know says a lot about his development. Today, it showed.
Defensive Game Ball:
Say what you want about Anthony Spencer, and there were those that were plenty critical of what this front office did by putting the franchise tag on him before the season, but you would be hard pressed to find a player other than, say,
Special Teams Game Ball:

II Article III Article
IV Article V
Article VI Article VII Article VIII Article IX
1.1 Principal Office.
Principal Office. The principal office of the Association in the State of Texas shall be located in the City of Coppell, County of Dallas, Texas. The Association may have such other offices, either within or without the State of Texas, as the Board of Directors of the Association (the "Board") may determine or as the affairs of the Association may require from time to time.
1.2 Registered Office and Registered Agent.
The Association shall have and continuously maintain to the State of Texas a registered office, and a registered agent whose office is identical with such registered office, as required by the Texas Non-Profit Corporation Act. The registered office may be, but need not be, identical with the principal office of the Association, and the address of the registered office may be changed from time to time by the Board.
2.1 Types and Classes of Members.
(a) This Association shall be comprised of members, the qualifications of which shall be described as follows:
(i) Adults. Adult members, both voting and non-voting, shall be persons: (a) who are twenty (20) years old or older; (b) who have executed and delivered to the Board an Association membership application for members, plus any other document requested by the Board in its sole opinion and whose membership has been approved by the Board in its sole opinion; (c) who agree to, and do in fact, adhere to the Articles of Incorporation of the Association (the "Articles"), the Bylaws and all other rules and regulations of the Association (the "Rules and Regulations"), and (d) who have paid all dues and fees required by the Association; and
(ii) Youth. Youth members shall be non-voting members who shall be youth soccer players: (a) who are nineteen (19) years old or younger; (b) who have executed and delivered to the Board a youth membership application and release form, birth certificate, and any other document requested by the Board in its sole opinion; and (c) who have paid all dues and fees required by the Association.
(b) The Voting Members of the Association shall be the adult members of the Association who qualify for one (1) or more of the following several classes of Voting Members:
(i) Class I shall be comprised of: (a) each head coach of each team (i.e., being the "head coach" listed on the roster of such team) properly registered with the Association in the opinion of the Board; and (b) the parent representative for each such team, which parent representative shall be that person listed as the manager or team parent on that same team roster and shall be the parent or guardian of a youth soccer player on that same recreational team roster. Only the first designated assistant coach listed on the roster may be a designated substitute for the head coach.
However, if a member is a head coach and/or player representative for more than one such team, such head coach or player representative shall be counted for purposes of establishing a quorum of Voting Members or for purposes of a vote of the Voting Members only as one Voting Member.
In the elections of the members of the Board held in accordance with these Bylaws, the Class I Voting Members shall cast votes to elect all members of the Board.
(ii) Class II shall be comprised of each of the members of the Association who is a member of the Board. Class II Voting Members shall cast votes to elect all members of the Board. However, notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Voting members may not cumulate votes.

Any member (adult or youth, voting or non-voting) of the Association may be expelled and his membership or relationship with the Association terminated, canceled, or forfeited, or he may be suspended or censured, by the Board in its sole discretion or through its consideration of a recommendation of any committee of not less than five (5) Voting Members appointed by the Board, for a violation of the Association's Articles, Bylaws, or Rules and Regulations or for conduct prejudicial to the interests of the Association (however, a red card in itself shall not be considered an expulsion for these purposes).
Also, any member may resign at any time. However, the resignation, expulsion, termination, suspension or censure of a member does not relieve the member from any obligations the member may have to the Association.
Upon the Board reaching the conclusion that the membership of a member should be terminated or forfeited or that a member should be suspended or expelled, the Board shall issue a written notice of such termination, expulsion, or suspension with the reasons therefore, which may include as a valid basis for termination, expulsion, or suspension, a lack of confidence in the member to fulfill his obligations as a member, and in such notice shall give the member fifteen (15) days in which to appeal this decision to the Board in writing. If such written appeal is not timely received, the termination, expulsion, or suspension is effectual and no further appeals are available.

Robert Klein taking life, comedy in stride
BY MIKE THOMAS Staff firstname.lastname@example.com November 9, 2012 9:24AM
Comedian Robert Klein headlines shows this weekend at UP Comedy Club. | GETTY IMAGES
♦ Nov. 9-11 (times vary
♦ Up Comedy Club, 230 W. North, third Floor
♦ Tickets, $25
♦ (312) 662-4562;
Less than 24 hours after Hurricane Sandy pounded New York and much of the East Coast, comedian and actor Robert Klein gazed out the windows of his 31st floor high-rise apartment near Central Park. The day before, he'd had a "beautiful" generator delivered to his home in Westchester, where he spends most of his time when not on the road.
But since there was no opportunity to hook it up before disaster struck, he'd vacated the premises and moved to higher ground. His sister and her husband would soon join him from their storm-ravaged neighborhood in downtown Manhattan.
Still, he was in a talkative mood. Now in his fifth decade of performing, the Yale-trained Second City alum (class of 1966) and former Broadway star (he got a Tony nomination in the 1979) still tours the country — though less rigorously than he once did — and continues to draw much of his material from of-the-moment events: aging and relationships, family and politics.
Prior to touching down in Chicago, where he'll stalk the stage at Up Comedy Club in Old Town Nov. 9-11, Klein spoke with characteristic honesty and trademark wisenheimer-y about his life, career and why tragedy plus time doesn't always yield comedy.
Q. Do you still get calls from guys like Jerry Seinfeld, who idolizes you?
A. It's not like we exchange much very often. He sent me a letter about my last HBO special [in 2010] — that he loved it. He always liked my after-shave. I have this after-shave I discovered in Europe, Yves St. Laurent. It's out of print and I bought about six bottles and I sent him one.
Q. You're dealing with a huge natural disaster in New York. What's your opinion of comics who use that sort of stuff as material — especially soon after an event happens?
A. That's a terrible thing. That's like a kid's sick joke. In other words, there is humor about cancer. There is humor about concentration camps. Because the victims themselves had that humor in order to get by. You can make a joke about those subjects, but you've gotta be twice as good.
Q. Several comics you came up with — George Carlin and Alan King, to name a couple — are dead. Are you feeling your mortality a bit more lately?
A. Yes, I am. And in fact, I'm especially worried as Jews bury so quickly. "What the hell happened to Irving? He was here a minute ago." "We buried him." The older I get, around my relatives I'm afraid to take a nap lest I be mistaken for dead.
Q. You're only 70. Still in good health?
A. I'm in very good health. Having a regimen of exercise for over 25 years has probably helped, although everything hurts. I no longer run. I go very fast on the treadmill or use the elliptical. I work with a trainer a couple of times a week and I do a third workout on my own. I have a couple of good machines at home. I have a rotator cuff injury, which I thought was so cool when I got it. I said, "Uh-oh. There goes that contract with the Milwaukee Brewers." And then I went to rehab: I was the youngest person in the room. Everyone has a rotator cuff [injury], and they're not pitchers. They're hoping to walk. So I can't bench press, and I'm concerned with my breasts being firmed up a little.
Q. You were quite the ladies man for many years. Are you still scoring with the chicks?
A. You wanna know something? It's not bad to remember. I started slow and made up for lost time. But there's a kind of hazy time in the last few decades. I've been divorced for 23 years. I've had a couple of nice relationships. But then again, I'm also not interested in very young women. I'm seriously not. On the other hand, I'd like a sort of in-between-aged woman. And I am what I am; they're getting someone with high mileage.
Q. So you're not looking for a 23-year-old.
A. No, no. I had a romance with a much younger woman. A brilliant woman whose name I dare not mention on the record. I just felt guilty about it, even though we knew there was no real future and we'd laugh about that. We enjoyed each other's company. But I couldn't handle it psychologically. I felt it was not right for some reason. And I'm not exactly happy with the way I did handle it. Maybe I was afraid of becoming so involved that I would not want it to end. Because I knew it could not go on indefinitely and that this person deserved the right to marry someone and have a life.
Q. Does part of you keep performing as a way to stave off Old Man Time?
A. I don't think of it that way. I'm the one who's been obsessed about my age since time immemorial. You see me on "The Tonight Show" — which I did as a guest 82 times and maybe 15-some times as a guest host — constantly mentioning my age. "Well, Johnny, I'm 28." "Well, Johnny, I'm a 34-year-old now." So I look up and here I am at this age. … Yet I go on like I always did. I'm not as busy and I really am glad about that. I love not to be rushed, not to be on big tours and not to be looking [toward] the next thing. … But I do feel the need to keep working. I have the idea that to completely stop working at something I actually quite love would be destructive. I don't see any point to it.

Towards infinite-capacity wireless networks, with twisted vortex radio waves September 18, 2014 at 12:35 pm
Researchers at the University of Southern California, building on its previous work on infinity-capacity twisted vortex wireless networks, has now adapted its technology to work with radio waves. The previous laser-based technique was only workable over short distances, with minimal atmospheric interference. Twisted radio waves are more rugged and can be reliably transmitted over much larger distances, potentially allowing for wireless networks that can carry much more data than your existing WiFi router — perhaps into the hundreds- or thousands-of-gigabits-per second range.

This supermassive black hole is at the center of one of the smallest galaxies in the universe September 18, 2014 at 9:57 am
Astronomers, using new imagery from the Hubble space telescope, have found a supermassive black hole at the center of one of the universe's smallest known dwarf galaxies, redefining, calling into question some of our theories about how the universe was formed. The black hole at the center of the dwarf galaxy is about four times larger than the black hole that our own Milky Way revolves around — but amazingly, the dwarf galaxy is five hundred times smaller than the Milky Way, with a diameter of just 300 light years.

Vodafone is the latest ISP to bump up its broadband landline plans, with a new series of plans due to be announced later today.
Like most rivals, the carrier is offering more data for the same money (though with one sneaky raise; keep reading), plus adding some bumper-size options on top.
A new Chock Naked plan (broadband with no home phone line) offers 200GB a month for $75 or 400GB a month for $105 (those prices are for those with an on-account Vodafone mobile (otherwise the pricing is $105 and $145).
For $40, you can buy a 200GB top-up.
The two existing naked plans, Ideal (30GB) and Ultimate (60GB), have been re-christened and engorged as Choice (50GB) and Mega (100GB).
Choice costs $55 if you have an on-account Vodafone mobile (and $85 without); Mega costs $65 with a mobile, $95 without.
It's great to see more generous data allowances, but there's also a disappointing footnote: For new customers, Vodafone has axed the $10 saving for those who live inside a Red Network area (one where Vodafone has "unbundled" moved its own broadband gear into a Telecom exchange).
Lastly, a big phooey to anyone who says "why do we need bigger data caps?"
I down loaded 16GB yesterday as I bought Homeland series one, in HD, from iTunes (iTunes US, with no regard for measly data caps down under, pumped the whole series to my first-generation Apple TV's hard drive at once; on my PC, I have to constantly stop it from pushing down movie extras - more than 6GB in Avatar's case; I have about 20GB in a forever-delayed queue).
And today I face another 16GB as I mull downloading the new Call of Duty from Steam.
I'd like to do simple cloud stuff like back up more photos, videos and other files online, too, but I've already had to double my data once this month - and upload speed is slow. Roll on fibre.

- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I like that it's extremely lightweight, fits great and is easily stored in a back pocket. It's designed to be a rain vest and doesn't breathe well so with that in mind I pack it for those chilly descents and days of unpredictable weather.
Fit 1 Size Up
Member since
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
I ordered a large, typically wear Med (6', 175 lbs. ) and this is still a touch small.
The collar bunches around your neck. Zipper pinches right at base of throat. It doesn't come up to cover.
3 stars for fit and collar. I would prefer a higher flatter collar against the back of the neck to protect (rain and cold).
Women's size there?

Light weight vest that stores easily in your jersey for a day full of descents in fair weather. It great if your not looking to carry much on you but, want to be ready if the weather takes a change for the worst.
clammy and does not breathe

This Castelli vest is good for wind and rain protection. However it does a very poor job of transferring heat/sweat to the outside of vest for evaporation. I went on a ride today in cool 50 degree weather and when I took the vest off the inside was dripping wet while the outside was dry. I don't believe it "breathes" as Castelli claims. I have returned it for refund and continue to look for the perfect lightweight wind vest.
get one size bigger

Good vest, but need to size one.
Good vest, a little short
Member since
The material and workmanship is good. I'm 6'1", 175pds and usually order Castelli one size up, but in this case the L was actually quite roomy in the torso but a bit short overall and particularly in the back. I'm average to slightly smaller than average in upper body length. The XL would be too big, so overall not for me.
Great light weight vest
Andrew Bergeson
Member since
I got this vest as a Christmas gift really like it. I was on a group ride in southern Utah and a storm blew in when we were far from home. We had no choice but to ride back in a down poor. I slipped this baby on and was the only one without a red mud streak up my back. My vest just washed right off. (if only it could have covered my bibs). It is light weight and stows in your jersey pocket without any trouble. I am 6'0" and 175 and my large fits me well. Castelli sizes are a bit weird. I usually wear a medium jersey but got the vest a size larger to fit over a base layer and jersey...glad I did.

Ortofon e-Q7 Ear Canal Headphone
" Prior to purchasing these, my primary concern is to have a proper alternative for my ESW9 which have better isolation to be used for listening to my ballad tunes on the road. While I don't have any issues with louder tracks, with more subtle ones, my ESW9 aren't up to the task, and so my search began.

" This "moving armature" descendant of the Ortofon e-Q7 makes no sacrifices in terms of quality, despite being introduced at a more affordable price point.

Sunday's Super Bowl was hugely entertaining. The commercials — not so much. This was the best that Madison Avenue could do?
We want to be entertained. We want to be amazed. We want to be amused.
Watch the ads
|Join the Discussion
|Post a Comment
Most of the ads were just OK.
Here's a ranking of not the most effective, but the most entertaining Super Bowl commercials of 2012.
1. Volkswagen: Fat dog works out so that he can make it through the doggie door and chase the Volkswagen. Great all by itself — but then it cut to a "Star Wars" cantina re-creation, with an alien offering the opinion that this spot was better than the little Darth Vader Volkswagen ad. Until little Vader used the dark side of the force on him. Two great ads in one.
2. Honda CRV: LOVED Matthew Broderick starring in a sequel to (remake of?) "Ferris Bueller's Day Off."
3. Coca-Cola: All three of the ads featuring the animated Coke polar bears were fun to watch.
4. TaxACT.com: The little boy who REALLY had to go finally relieves himself in the pool. Cute, funny and only a little disgusting.
5. Doritos: Even if you're a cat lover, c'mon, the ad with the big dog burying a cat was funny.
6. Galaxy Note: This phone commercial was the best high-energy musical spectacular of the night. (Did you hear that, Madonna?)
7. Bud Light: Here we go! How did they get that little dog to fetch all that beer?
8. Toyota Camry: Liked the idea of reinventing everything. Especially the poopless baby.
9. Chevy Silverado: Silverados and their owners who survived an apocalypse were made more amusing with Barry Manilow singing "Looks Like We Made It" in the background.
10. Chevy Sonic: How can you not love a car skydiving out of an airplane, doing barrel rolls and bungee jumping?
11. Oikos Greek Yogurt: That John Stamos is still so cute. Especially when he's being viciously head-butted by a girl.
12. Doritos: Grandma slingshotting the extraordinarily cute baby to grab the chips from the bratty kid was amusing.
13. M&Ms: Would you believe stripper M&Ms? "My shell is brown. It's just looks like my milk chocolate is showing."
14. Acura: Jerry Seinfeld was funny; Jay Leno, not so much.
15. Skechers: Loved the little dog outrunning the greyhounds. But moonwalking across the finish line and an appearance by Mark Cuban kind of killed it.
16. Pepsi: Doing a commercial with Elton John and Flava Flav has some merit, although it wasn't as funny as it was intended to be. But including Melanie Amaro, the virtually unknown winner of "The X Factor," was a major misstep.
17. Fiat 500: Again, never going to make me buy the car. But the guy imagining a Fiat as a sexy Italian woman was clever.

I have a lone bottle of 2001 Delas Freres Cote Rotie La Landonne in my cellar. I fished it out of a sale bin some months back priced at $43 based entirely on the vintage and the vineyard.
I've never, however, actually tasted any of their wines.
Today I decided to read up on what I have. And this is what my almost-ancient copy of Parker's Rhone book has to say about this producer: "consistent, fail-safe wines made with a food-processor mentality" and "the Rhone's leading underachiever...in need of a wake-up call." The details are certainly better for the Northern Rhone wines than the Southern Rhones, but still. Food processor mentality? Good grief.
So what does he think nowadays? And where does this winery stand with the rest of the community of Northern Rhone lovers?

So basically, I could purchase a new iphone 3GS 8GB for $50 with a new 2yr contract. Sell that phone to Amazon for $162, then get a LG G2X for $79 with a new 2yr contract. Id have $83 in my pocket and a phone thats equal to or better than my iphone 4 !!
brb, going to the AT&T retail store to add an iphone 3GS 8GB to my account !!
Most of these can be sold on eBay or locally for at least 1.5x to 2x as much as those trade-in prices...but I guess there are plenty of people who don't know that.
I'll bet the total cost of ownership over the 2 years of bills is more than just 1 LG G2X is to buy.
AND you'll only have one phone to show for it at the end!
It's cool
I solf a 3GS yesterday for 256 on ebay...had 32 bids....ebay is the way to go..screw amazon
Even the cheapos on Craigslist in my area pay better than Amazon
But hey if I ever have a hard time selling my iDevice (yeah right...haha they always sell within 1-3 days for me) then I'll give Amazon a go.
How much would I get for my iphone4 I want the white one I could prolly sell it as new due to the otterbox that has been kept on it.
eBay is definitely the way to go here if you want to maximize a profit
Ooo, time to get rid of my collection of 3GS's!
Wow- was gonna do this with my old iPT 2g- but it seems ebay is the way to go. :P
If I lose all hope though- amazon it is
Apple iPhone 4 - 32GB - Black (AT&T) Smartphone (GSM) | eBay
I know people still trying to sell their first iPad on eBay & craigslist so this sounds good to me.
Hmm.. I think Craigslist is best way to go. No seller fee's but you have to be careful when you trade.
When I sell on Craigslist I stick with my price. I clearly state if they don't have the amount I'm Asking for, to not waste my time.
Trades on Craigslist are shady. But sometimes you find an idiot on There. Like the guy I traded my iPhone 3GS and $50 bucks for a iPhone 4.
