The ebony-stained walnut cabinets provide stark contrast to the light marble granite. The back wall has a 3-inch mitred edge and integrated granite sink. The island's waterfall edge complements the same edge on the wood kitchen table. The linear taupe ceramic tile creates texture and softens the otherwise high contrast finishes.

Few Albany residents have never heard of Erastus Corning 2nd, Daniel O'Connell or Nelson Rockefeller. They are three politicians who, more than anyone in the last 50 years, put their personal stamp on the city.
But what about John Bogart, William Henry Johnson, Grange Sand, Isaac Perry, James Barclay Jermain or William Keeler? They all were city residents during the last 100 years who went on to make their mark in the world, and whose influence and work is still present today, even if their personal histories have faded. Chronicles of the times found in local libraries tell their stories, although many people are not mentioned, and women are not generally deemed worthy of note.
Despite the omissions and male chauvinism that colors the picture, Albany in the last 100 years has had its share of notables in entertainment, sports, commerce, industry and, especially, politics.
"There are more politics to the acre in the city of Albany than almost any other locality that can be named," an 1884 volume for visitors called "The Albany Hand-Book" concluded.
The book came out 37 years before the Democratic organization that continues to control city politics came into power. Its architects were Cornings and O'Connells, drawn together, legend says, by a deep interest in sports and cockfighting.
Daniel O'Connell, the leader, raised fighting roosters. The Cornings liked to watch matches, a popular pastime in pre-television America.
O'Connell, born in 1885, liked to keep a low profile in the newspapers, although he was feared and loved, and respected and loathed by generations of Albany residents.
"Since coming of age, Mr. O'Connell has been an active worker in the Democratic Party and stands high in the councils of its Albany County organization," a 1923 book called "Prominent People of the Capital District" reported.
In fact, O'Connell controlled the party and, for a half century, controlled much of city and county government in any instance that mattered.
Edwin Corning, whose son, Erastus Corning 2nd, served as mayor from 1941 to 1983, was a partner in the organization until he died in the 1930s. Edwin's brother, Parker, also was involved and and served in Congress in the early days of the Democratic machine.
The man who controlled Albany before the Cornings and O'Connells took over was Republican William Barnes Jr., grandson of famed 19th century journalist Thurlow Weed.
Barnes was a colorful figure who sowed the seed of his downfall when he came down on the side of management in a bitter and violent streetcar strike. "Labor is a commodity," Barnes said. He also opposed women's suffrage and the concept of primary elections.
He and the Republicans were booted out and, in the city at least, there they remain 65 years and innumerable elections later.
By 1921, Barnes was on the skids politically. Former President Theodore Roosevelt had labeled him a "corrupt boss." Soon, others would say the same about O'Connell, citing the story that any bar that wanted to stay open in the city had to sell beer from a brewery he owned.
O'Connell was also involved in a multi-million dollar baseball gambling ring, and was jailed on at least two occasions. Once it was in New York where, legend goes, one of his guards was a man named Ryan. Ryan's family ended up in Albany, a faction in the organization at odds with Corning loyalists. However, that is another story.
More to the point, what O'Connell built Erastus Corning 2nd inherited and consolidated. Today, many leaders of Albany city and county government are there in large part because Corning chose them.
It also was Corning who went along with then-Gov. Rockefeller's grand plan to tear down part of the city and build the Empire State Plaza.
As it happened, construction of the mall spurred a renaissance in downtown Albany that continues today. Not coincidentally, the plaza also serves as a memorial to Rockefeller.
While politics was the force behind much of Albany's vitality over the last century, other fields provided opportunity for achievement.
Bogart, born in Albany in 1836, was instrumental in the development of Washington Park. He also designed Prospect Park in Brooklyn, and liked to tell how, as a young man, he climbed a ship's mast to watch the famous Civil War naval battle between the Monitor and the Merrimack.
A contemporary of Bogart was William Henry Johnson, a black man who escaped to Albany from Virginia by way of the underground railroad in the mid- 19th century.
By 1900, Johnson had sucessfully pushed for anti-segregation and anti- discrimination laws in New York. He also convinced the state to forbid surcharges for blacks who took out life insurance policies, a common practice in those times.
Johnson died a pauper in a charity home on Central Avenue in 1918.
Another famous black resident was Henry Johnson, who lived in Sheridan Hollow before going to France during World War I. For his bravery, he became the first American to win the Croix de Guerre, France's highest military honor.
Today, when not obscured by cardboard boxes or cabinets, Johnson's portrait can be seen on a basement wall in City Hall.
The influence of Perry, born in 1822 in Bennington, Vt., is evident at the state Capitol.
After designing the Inebriate Asylum in Binghamton, Gov. Grover Cleveland put Perry in charge of building the Capitol, a job that lasted for years.
In the Capitol, Perry's work included designing the Senate staircase and the Court of Appeals room. Another Perry project was the Washington Avenue Armory, which today is home to National Guard troops as well as the Albany Patroons professional basketball team.
Another eminent Albany architect was Marcus Reynolds, who died in 1937. His works included the Delaware & Hudson building at the foot of State Street, now the headquarters for the State University system. The mammoth structure was modeled after a medieval guild hall in Ypres, Belgium.
Reynolds also built Hackett Junior High, the ornate Dutch revival city firehouse on Delaware Avenue, and the former Niagara Mohawk building at 126 State St.
Jermain, born in 1809, was not a builder himself, but a gift of his money built the Young Men's Christian Association home on North Pearl Street, which was converted in recent years into the Steuben Athletic Club.
Jermain, the son of a rich man, inherited wealth upon his father's death in 1869 and proceeded to become of the biggest philanthropists the Capital District has known.
He built a huge Presbyterian church in what was West Troy - now Watervliet - for $120,000 and paid for the construction of a home for orphaned children in what is today the town of Colonie.
As proprietor of Albany's most famous oyster house, Keeler was in the business of taking money in, not giving it away. He parlayed his shop on Green Street in the South End into a political career, becoming alderman, street commissioner and in 1882, Albany County sheriff.
"At first his patrons were few, but they reported so many good things about Keeler's little oyster-house, especially how well they liked his stews, that it was soon more largely patronized, til the place was thronged by newcomers from morning til late at night," a history book at the Albany Institute reports.
Keeler opened a big hotel that sold bushels of oysters and enjoyed immense financial success.
As one of the city's captains of industry, Sand was probably not unfamiliar with Keeler's accomplishments. Born in 1843, Sand went to Chicago to learn stove making and came to Albany a success in 1875. Stoves were a major industry in the city and nation in those days, and Sand was intimately involved in the financial affairs of the day.
He was also one of the founders of the Fort Orange Club, and was its president for six years.
Since baseball was the unofficial sport of Albany Democrats, it is fitting that the city sent at least two of its native sons to the World Series.
Mel Wolfgang, a beefy South Ender whose namesake grandson, Meldon Wolfgang III, is today Albany's Human Resources commissioner, played for the world champion Chicago White Sox.
Johnny Evers was another baseball hero, playing in several World Series games and wearing uniforms for the Chicago Cubs and the Boston Braves.
In recent years, Albany has sent a couple of young men to make their fortune in Hollywood: Jim Hutton and Bill Devane. Hutton died in 1979 but his son, Tim, has followed in his father's footsteps with great success. Devane, member of a well-known Albany family, has appeared in movies, on television and on the stage.
Albany got national recognition in 1984 when novelist William Kennedy won the Pulitzer Prize for "Ironweed," a novel set against the backdrop of the famous streetcar strike. It was the last in a trilogy about the city where Kennedy was born.
The first novel concerned a part- time Albany resident named Jack "Legs" Diamond, a famous Prohibition-era gangster and bootlegger who played at Kenmore Hotel and was shot to death in a rooming house on Dove Street. Since converted to a townhouse, the Center Square building was recently purchased by Kennedy.

The Brooklyn Nets looked like they were in bad shape as LeBron James scored 16 first-quarter points as the Miami Heat continued their hot shooting from the first two games on South Beach.
The Nets then held the star forward to just two made baskets over the final three quarters. Add to that Brooklyn's 60 percent clip from behind the arc and a balanced scoring effort, the Nets find themselves in position to tie the series at home on Monday night.
Joe Johnson led the team with 19 points as six Nets players were in double figures for scoring. Andray Blatche contributed a pair of career playoff-highs with 15 points and 10 rebounds, Paul Pierce shot 50 percent from the field for 14 points.
Kevin Garnett, Shaun Livingston and Mirza Teletovic all had 10 or more points as the Nets shot 53 percent from the field and hit a stunning 15 of their 25 three-point attempts, the real difference in this game.
Deron Williams has struggled throughout this series, posting a zero-point Game 2. He scored just 9 points in Game 3 but did add 11 assists as Brooklyn's crisp offense kept them one pass ahead of Miami's stifling defense.
The Nets held Miami to just 33 points over the second and third quarters, using an 18-7 run at the end of the third to lead 77-63 heading into the final frame.
Mirza Teletovic knocked down another three for an 80-63 lead and the game was all but over as a contest.
The win allows the Nets to avoid falling down 3-0 in the series, a deficit no team in NBA history has recovered from.

Brooklyn Nets:
Joe Johnson: 19 points, 7-10 FGS, 5-7 3 FGS

I review as many gurus and courses as possible, and have plenty of contact with them as I was a co-founder of a local REIA. Sorting through them is a full time job. I especially try to stay on top of the ones relating to lending in real estate investing. When I heard of the Banker's Code, I was all about finding an easier path.
George Antone and Gary Boomershine were promoting the Banker's Code via signing up for a personal phone consultation with them, I was supposed to have a 1 hour session with one of them personally. I paid the small dollars for the offer and signed up, and scheduled the phone appointment. They actually have someone who's full time job it is to make and track these appointments.
Every time it was the appointed time for our phone call, I got a call from a substitute, apologizing that George and Gary were both unexpectedly unavailable, and explaining that he/she were going to speak with me instead. When I politely declined, the person couldn't even reschedule, and had to refer me back to the scheduler.
When this happened 3 times, I called the scheduler and requested a refund. I had enough evidence to satisfy me that I was paying for a sales pitch, not a consultation. I did receive my refund about 6 weeks later.
I have an associate who has been to their course and is trying to follow what they have told him. They apparently make it sound very simple and relatively hands off to start a lending company. Evidently all you have to do is find a mortgage broker who will handle all the borrower compliance issues for you and bring you deals. Then you find a loan servicing company to service these loans. Then you find an attorney/title co who can handle the closings nationally. Then you go and find your funding from people begging you to lend out their money for them. You lend it out higher than you take it in, and voila, you keep the spread. Easy peasy. Why isn't everyone doing it? (Their material is heavily West Coast slanted, and doesn't really address differences we have in the East. For example, in CA I'm told that mortgage brokers can sell fractionalized loans, and the Banker's Code uses that technique, but no lawyer I've spoken to in my location will endorse that. Must be I'm speaking to the wrong lawyers.)
There is more to it, but you get the idea. Gee, I wish I knew it was that easy when I started. Then I wouldn't have gotten so involved with due diligence, SEC compliance, lending licensing requirements, and all those little issues that are so time consuming and don't produce revenue.
I hope everyone reading this knows I have my tongue firmly planted in my cheek.
Bottom line, when someone gives me the run around 3 times for a simple phone call, I'm not going down that road with them any further.

I'm with you, Will, I was just typing my answer and saying the same thing, but in a longer less concise format.

How good are you at underwriting loans?
The 3-6-3 rule of banking may be extinct. "Pay 3% on deposits, make loans at 6% and be on the golf course at 3."
The spread that you envision is only one part of this formula. Loan losses aka defaults or late payments can make a significant dent into your profits. Foreclosing on a property also takes a lot of time and resources.
Are you sure you want to pursue this?
In Colorado, you not only need a mortgage broker license but also an additional license specifically for doing what's described here. I know a few people who are doing this, and I have some money in with one of them. So, this is possible. Starting from scratch know nothing about lending or real estate is not going to be easy, though.
Jon Holdman, Flying Phoenix LLC
never saw the course, but by the description that you just gave me, I would not get involved with that plan.
That is a great plan if you have deep pockets to cover payments and if you REALLY know your business and can maintain control of the property.
Finally, I am not an SEC attorney, but it does seem like their could be some MAJOR legal problems, especially if anyone looses a dime!
There are a lotta easier ways to make coin in this biz without that much risk.
Just my 2 cents! :mrgreen:
I attended the free session that they were doing in May called "The Wealthy Code". This is almost an introduction course to The Banker's Code and it gives you a basic understanding of passive income and other avenues. In my personal opinion, I feel that George Antone is a great teacher and has a wealth of knowledge and this course is amazing and free. They give you workbooks and really open your eyes to analyzing a good deal. I'm going to start the course soon. [REMOVED]

George and Gary are nice guys ,GOOD GUYS,,and I think there stuff is valid,,,I think their information and training is worthwhile,,,
Having said that,,theres Lots of Stuff avaialble on a Google search for Hard Money Lending or Private Mortgage Training,,,
I want to propose a question "
Would you rather pay someone 8K grand to learn something about hard money lending or would u rather spend a little bit less checking stuff out chunk by chunk on the Net,,,,???? If u got 8K and u wanna get in the fast lane then u know what to do,,,,Trust but verify,,,make sure your right and then go ahead,,,(Davy Crockett)
I invite you to draw your own conclusions,,,,,
Heard of the course never took it or read any reviews. I do have mortgage banking experience, as well as lending fund to fund money. I had both private investor money and institutional money including a warehouse line of credit.
All that said, if you know nothing about writing a loan, which frankly you are asking about this to begin with, so you are starting in the wrong place. All the legal issues and license issues can be overcome if your serious, you just go get those. You will need a license to lend in every state you desire to lend in, which is different than being a mortgage broker or a mortgage broker business in many states. Lenders have bond and liquidity requirements and audit requirements which are different from state to state.
The notion is simple, you get money cheaper than you lend it out creating an arbitrage between the two and collect the spread and perhaps a point or two at origination. That is pretty simple to understand. How to measure prepayment risk and default risk along with how to underwrite are skills that you do not get over night. Also, portfolio management is not something you pick up over night. How will you exit the loans? How will you solicit for investors? The list of questions can go on for a bit.
There are plenty of folks here on BP who are affluent in loans, lending and are actually practicing lenders. Spend sometime with them and start the learning process. Perhaps start off in an entry level role as an investor to see if all the work and risk that goes with the venture is truly what you want. BP has the firepower to educate you with the folks here and that will be cheaper than paying for a course that costs thousands and apparently the right teacher never calls you.
I'm glad I found this forum because of course I was in the process of buying into some of the things these "gurus" say not realizing how much behind the scene work is necessary. I did not even know that a license had to be obtained in order to be involved in private lending. with that being said I am still very much interested in this aspect of real estate investing and especially note investing. Hopefully I'll get more insight after searching on here
Where do you find the money to lend? For example I get the concept, but if u are not using your original money how do u access the money?
Originally posted by Ron Steele:

Ron, what you are asking about is called raising capital. If you are raising capital with the intent to loan it out, stand in the middle of the room, look to your left, that is the regulations around raising capital and then look to your right, that is the regulations around lending money.
How to raise capital in compliance with SEC/FINRA is a whole set of discussion on their own. Who you raise money from, how much, how you solicit and how you structure the investment....all things that would fall into that concept.
Provided you gain an understanding of all of that, it becomes a function of raising the capital in either equity or debt or a combination of the two.
Thanks for the info?
I understand raising capital. Could you or anyone provide any resources or examples to learn more about this.
I don't understand why someone would loan me $ at ex 6% no collateral then I loan at 10% hard money which would be ltv of 65% or lower, secured by collateral (real estate),plus points. The other points is lending on what??? my credit,sales pitch, ???
The only way I can see getting these terms are traditional financing which would highly doubtful/impossible I would think.
I thought maybe a line of credit would work(I have a small one) but I don't know if the spread would make sense. I'm not sure what I'm paying on interest, but my loans would have to have a much higher rate. Also it seems you would have to have a pretty big line of credit.
I'm looking for any answers anybody could provide, and thanks in advance for your help.
Any opinions on this would be helpful before I purchase the course.
im not sure i understand .. why would u consider buying the course after all the opinions n mention of this course being non-compliant with the law?

It's time for my long-overdue writeup of the second Bollywood movie I watched on my binge, Jodhaa Akbar.
The title is the names of the two main characters, real figures from India's history. So the title is basically Angelina Brad, but … you know… Hindi.
Going further back in time to the 1500's, we watch two gorgeous, powerful people get married against their wishes. Fortunately they're not only total babes, they both have awesome hearts, so it's only a matter of time until they fall for each other. They just have some pesky religious differences. It'll all be over soon, I promise.
"Ugh, we're just both so hot!"
As if that wasn't enough emotional drama for you, they manage to squeeze in the death of a brother, an Iago-like devious nanny, the sexiest sword fight ever, and a war that's over before it started due to a duel (spoiler alert: the hot good guy wins). Every plot line in this movie lasts about 20 minutes. It's wild.
The hotness continues.
The music is also by A.R. Rahman, so it's pretty legit. It's mostly cheesy love songs, although there are two love songs that I dig. One is love for the Hindu gods, and the other is love for Akbar himself, when he lifts a tax that everyone hated. For that number they got like a jillion traditional dancers and it's awesome. If you're into that kind of thing.
This wasn't even my favorite one I watched. More on THAT later.
What a horrible title. But seriously, I've been addicted to Bollywood movies/music for the past week. So far, I've watched Lagaan and Jodhaa Akbar, both amazing movies in their respective subject matter. Let's learn about the first one I watched.
Lagaan is basically Bad News Bears, but in the 1890's India with cricket. The underdog team of Indian village folk (specifically the town cool guy, Bhuvan), who at the time know nothing about the poncy British game of hitting balls with paddles, enter in a bet to stop their taxes for three years if they win a game against evil Captain "my sideburns are ridiculous" Russell. If the villagers lose, they have to pay triple tax and thus basically starve to death, so tensions are high.
"Don't forget my mustache!"
Fortunately for them, Russell has a babeish sister who helps the villagers learn the game, and proceeds to fall in love with Bhuvan, resulting in a strange love triangle that Bollywood always does so well.
To boot, Lagaan has a killer soundtrack by everyone's favorite A.R. Rahman. It's also a great opportunity to learn the game of cricket, something I knew basically nothing about. By the end I was able to appreciate the intensity of the scoring system. Wickets!!
Here is a pretty shot from the song where everyone professes their love for Bhuvan. I'd check out this movie if you like: Bollywood, Bollywood music, A.R. Rahman, cricket, underdog stories, and crazy dudes with large beards.
Specifically Rajesh Vivek in all his fuzzy glory. He's also in Jodhaa Akbar, a romp through sexual desire while dodging assassination attempts. More on that later.

I have never worked with a company as unprofessional as Icon Printing. I was guaranteed pre-noon delivery and stressed the urgency of the order, but the order didn't arrive by 12 as promised.
I called 3 times within the space of an hour to find out what was going on, and each time the girl who answered was completely clueless and useless. I was fobbed off repeatedly with the excuse that she was waiting for a tracking number from her Manager 1 hour later and I was thoroughly annoyed with this excuse. It does not take over 1 hour to find a tracking number if it does then the business is fundamentally flawed. When I asked to speak to the Manager I was informed he was at the production site and that she could not give me his number. If the Manager cannot be bothered to manage issues that arise then what exactly is his purpose??
I subsequently found out the reason for the late delivery was due to a staff member's incompetence in not selecting pre-noon delivery, great to know that they listen to their customers when they stress the urgency of an order!
No one cared whatsoever about the failings of the service, and no one could be bothered to even attempt to rectify it. I accept that mistakes happen and that couriers can be unreliable; what I do not expect is that when said mistakes happen, suppliers respond with complete and utter indifference. Simply disgusting.
Icon Printing are a t-shirt printing and promotional clothing business who specialize in bulk orders and fast turnaround times.
We offer a number of production methods including screen printing london, direct to garment printing, transfer printing and embroidery.
Screen Printing is our method of choice for large volume runs - the higher the quantity the less it costs per item. Direct to Garment Printing is fantastic for full colur prints and photographs and in common with transfer printing there are no set up costs.

Even though it didn't get rid of my blemishes, it got rid of all the redness and made it barely noticeable. I don't use blemish concealer anymore thanks to this product! Date published: 2014-03-30 Rated 5 out of 5 by kimber from worked after two days of using it I had been sick for a couple of weeks and my skin broke out really bad. even had a zit on my ear where my glasses sit on them. got this in the mail on Saturday and by Monday everything was cleared up! I tried using several other products before this with no luck and this product did the job! it doesn't come with a lot of product, but it's great for emergencies. Date published: 2014-03-06 Rated 1 out of 5 by Dmevans8 from Irritated My Non-Sensitive Skin My skin reacted really poorly to this product for some reason. I have no allergies at all, that I know of, and this product made me itch within five minutes of putting it on. I've never had a zit cream, or acne product do that before. Date published: 2014-02-21 Rated 5 out of 5 by TinyK from It really works!!! I have adult acne and I ran out of an expensive well know acne brand spot treatment and saw this and took a chance, why not at $3.00 so later that day I had a red spot forming into a pimple right smack in the center of my nose, apply this and within two hrs the red spot was gone, I couldn't believe it. I am so pleased with this and will be buying another to keep in my purse. Date published: 2014-02-17 Rated 5 out of 5 by thetinabear from Really works!!! I've had this for a few months now, any time I have a deep bump that would turn into a nasty white head the next day, I put a little bit of this on it the night before and it disappears overnight! So glad I found this, I've tried all kinds of products that promise results but this is the only one that follows through. Love it! Date published: 2014-01-13 Rated 3 out of 5 by mjG7 from Packaging fail I was pleased with the product, it did what it was supposed to do...until the product stopped coming out into the brush and instead squirts out the seam where the applicator is put together. Very annoying! Date published: 2014-01-09 Rated 4 out of 5 by prada82 from Awesome...this stuff works! I brought one to see how well it worked and I noticed a difference after a few days!! Dries quickly and you can wear it under your makeup. Keeps a thin layer so its not bumpy under your skin, unlike the other acne creams out there. I like this a lot better than the essential line one mostly because you can get a lot more product at once and it seems to just work better for me. My only complaint is that isn't a lot of product. I was using it 2x a day, AM and then before going to bed, so I think the pen lasted about 2-3 weeks? I just put another order in and bought like 20 when they had the 50% sale. Date published: 2014-01-03 Rated 4 out of 5 by Gabe from Pretty good I use this on my nodule and cystic acne. I had really bad acne after I went off BC, but I decided enough was enough and started washing my face both morning and night (neutrogena acne stress wash & moisturizer), and I also bought this. After I wash my face, I put this on my acne, and then moisturize after about 10 minutes, and it has seemed to help. My acne is almost entirely cleared up, although almost every day I'm granted (significantly less painful and inflamed) nodular acne, if I put this on it it is gone within two days. For the price, it's worth the try if you have issues with controlling your acne. It does smell like medicine, of course, but that is normal. Date published: 2014-01-03 Rated 5 out of 5 by noodlecats from Smells pretty funky, but it works FANTASTICALLY! I've been using this for about a month, and oh my goodness! I had a horrible breakout going on - really horrible cystic acne and whatnot. I was desperate, seeing as how my acne had progressed from bad to worse because of stress (I blame finals!). I started using this all over my problem areas in conjunction with the roll-on eye refresh to try to calm my skin down and heal the breakouts that were wreaking havoc on my skin. After a month, my skin had almost completely cleared, and so far 85% less acne. I'm seriously impressed. However, I forgot to take this with me when I traveled home for a week for the holiday break, and I'm seriously regretting that because I had cystic acne pop up not three days after stopping this. Oh well, looks like I'll be repurchasing this for the foreseeable future! No seriously though, it's really good for preventing new breakouts as long as you use it regularly (I just slather it all over my face). Date published: 2013-12-31 Rated 3 out of 5 by bstine90 from Worth a try! I bought this because of the price. I used it exactly to the instructions when I first got it to make sure I could do a proper review. The product is very easy to use and goes on great. Its not messy or smelly. It stings occasionally. I never noticed an extreme difference in my acne but it did help dry any blemishes I had a little bit quicker. Its fast and easy, and even though it didn't cure anything overnight, I went ahead and got another tube (it goes quickly!) just because it does improve the speed of the pimple going away. Date published: 2013-12-29 Rated 5 out of 5 by tbaby_8 from Pretty good product I purchased this product during the black Friday sale. It actually works. I purchased this, but didn't think it would really do what it said it would do, but was hopping it was better than their other zit product. It actually is alot better. I don't get many zits, but when I do, they like to stay around. I used this on three pimples that I had and two out of the three were soo small that I could barely see them and the really large one was reduced a great deal. This is just after a week of use. I will probably repurchase this again. Great job ELF! Date published: 2013-12-21 Rated 1 out of 5 by JasmineV from A big no no Heard a lot of great thing about this product but what I received was just a product with old, faded packaging Really disappointed tho I don't even know if I should use it or not, I'm afraid it passed the expiration date already :( Date published: 2013-12-12 Rated 5 out of 5 by Lilly from Wow...works great I actually bought this half price and was skeptical ... what a surprise it does work overnight. I am in my 60's and have tried many, many brands much more expensive over my blemish time. I will never be without it again. Date published: 2013-12-11 Rated 5 out of 5 by Elenaaa from Simply Amazing! I bought this online, and once I got it I tried it right away, used a brush instead of the brush on the pen (to keep from infecting it with bacteria) and put it on all my pimples after cleaning my face overnight, and in the morning they were all dried up, and I could literally pick the pimple off my face, how weird is that?? It works wonders though, I've had acne problems before, used all kinds of medication, but this definitely beats that, will be buying more of this in the future. And for 3 dollars!!!! Date published: 2013-12-11 Rated 5 out of 5 by Jade from Marvelous Product! I bought this the other day and I immediately put it on when I arrived home, the next morning most of my zits were gone! this stuff is amazing, you can control how much comes out and its not sticky or oily or greasy! Date published: 2013-12-03 Rated 5 out of 5 by MissXDSmiley from Love it! I bought this a few weeks ago, and I started using it this week. I washed my face, and then covered all my blemishes with it, and let it dry, and depending on what time of day it was, I would either start covering them up with makeup or just go to bed. It's an amazing project. I used it on a friend, whose acne has been bothering her for a whole, to the point where she takes medicine to try to battle it, and overnight it made all her pimples shrink down to the point where she didn't have to cover them at all today. It does dry out your skin, but it is technically drying out your pimples. It's a small price to pay for how amazing this product works. (Additional note, the friend I tried it on who has dry skin, it didn't dry it out more than her skin usually does, but it does work) Date published: 2013-11-22 Rated 1 out of 5 by sarah from bad for sensitive skin this product breaks me out and makes my skin red wherever i apply it, it is also inaffective Date published: 2013-10-22 Rated 5 out of 5 by Jess from Would buy the product again Really enjoy this product. It actually works. Bonus: it's really cheap. Date published: 2013-10-10 Rated 5 out of 5 by flowergirl from Even the Men in the House Love IT I am a mom with sensitive skin that breaks out occasionally. I have two teenage boys who are dealing with typical teenage skin. This product works so well that my 18 year old has stopped using other products and only uses this. His friends are always asking him how he gets his skin to clear up so fast and stay clear when they are fighting theirs. Of course he is a tease and tells them it is ELF magic. This is a great product. Date published: 2013-09-19 Rated 5 out of 5 by carley from worth it I generally have pretty clear skin, but once and a while I'll get a huge pimple and just need to get rid of it ASAP. I've tried the other zit remover from elf, and it wasn't good at all for me and made my acne worse so I was a little hesitant about trying this out. on the day that I got it in the mail I had a pimple and so I brushed a little of the zit eraser on it and literally within an hour or so, most of the redness was gone and it looked so much smaller! the next day it was gone. this was with one application. try it out! Date published: 2013-08-23 Rated 5 out of 5 by DiverGal from LOVE THIS STUFF I just found this website and ordered a huge amount of things. I figured for the price, why not try the Zit Eraser. I wanted to use it last night before bed, but forgot about it until I had put all this new make up on. So, I figured "well, it's clear and will most likely blend" so I gave it whirl and put a dab on each of the three zits (on top of the makeup) on my way to work. It dried in no time and as I look in the mirror, I can hardly see the zits anymore. They have really dried up and I plan to keep a steady supply of this stuff handy. Date published: 2013-08-15 Rated 5 out of 5 by Alex from WOW I had really bad acne, and this essentially erased all my zits and pimples, it even helped with those dreaded black heads, I wash my face at night apply and then go to bed, the next day it's almost gone and is a lot less red. LOVE IT! Date published: 2013-07-30 Rated 5 out of 5 by Animalprintbabe from works good. Amazing. Just amazing. Date published: 2013-07-28 Rated 5 out of 5 by Bunny from Oh Ehm Geeee OKAY! this thing is freaking amazing! I love it! I use it every night now, because I'm taking Biotin and it makes me break out, but this just makes them disappear in two days (i get huge pimples so that's pretty good!). I love love love this. Date published: 2013-04-21 Rated 5 out of 5 by PumpkinSpice from Wow!!! Wow even being older I still usually get deep painful pimples and this is the only product that will dry them up within a few hours!! Unbelievable so happy with this product! Date published: 2013-03-06 Rated 5 out of 5 by nudybooty from buythisnow !! purchased this for my husband he has skin issues, I actually used it for myself and it really gets rid of those little breakouts. I hardly every breakout but I tested it last night on a tiny bump I had and it was gone in the morning. I will be purchasing more and always make sure I have one. Date published: 2013-02-24 Rated 5 out of 5 by Lo from I love this product! I use this product any time i see a bump forming, or in pimples that i already had, the next day they are gone! its is amazing! i think elf should launch an acne line! Thanks E>L>F Date published: 2013-02-22 Rated 5 out of 5 by kissmyaxe from Buying Another Right Now! I just received this yesterday and it works WONDERS. I left it on overnight after cleaning with the Elf face cleanser, just applying it to a few problem areas and some stubborn acne scars. I woke up this morning with virtually no blemishes and my acne scars shrunk at least by half! I don't know if this is some weird occurrence by chance or if this happens with anyone else, but it was a great feeling. I haven't encountered a problem with the product amount yet, but I think if you just cover your problem areas thinly, it'll last for a LONG while. I'm ordering another for my sister now. Date published: 2013-02-17 Rated 1 out of 5 by Toast from Not much product Don't be fooled. There is more packaging than product in the Zit Eraser. In fact, this has less product that the Zip Zapper and it's three times the cost. Does it work? Yep, but save money and buy the Zip Zapper instead. Date published: 2013-02-14 Rated 1 out of 5 by Viktoriyalin from Allergic Reaction I just tried this out and literatly had welts and red itchy skin(on my face/chest and shoulders) within 2 minutes of applying, I had extremely high hopes cause I read reviews before purchase and so no bad things. So before anyone buys please make sure you aren't allergic to the ingredients! it's not fun if you are!!

BEIRUT: UN peacekeepers were monitoring the Lebanese border with Israel on Saturday, a day after rockets launched from south Lebanon slammed into Galilee Galilee (găl`ĭlē), region, N Israel, roughly the portion north of the plain of Esdraelon. Galilee was the chief scene of the ministry of Jesus. , but the situation was "calm," a spokeswoman said.

LAF Laminar Air Flow (Lebanese army) deployed additional troops in the general area to prevent any escalation of the situation, but the situation is pretty calm today," the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon The United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon, or UNIFIL, was created by the United Nations, with the adoption of Security Council Resolution 425 and 426 on March 19, 1978, to confirm Israeli withdrawal from Lebanon, restore international peace and security, and help the spokeswoman Yasmina Bouziane told AFP.
At least two rockets fired from southern Lebanon slammed into Israel on Friday, triggering retaliatory artillery fire across the border.
"Several rockets hit western Galilee. They did not cause any casualties," an Israeli military spokesman told AFP. "We responded by firing 12 to 15 artillery shells towards the source of the fire."
The Lebanese army said the village of Al-Qlaileh was hit and ambulances were rushed from the port city of Tyre, nine kilometres (five miles) away.
A Lebanese security official said two rockets were fired earlier from the village, 15 kilometres (10 miles) from the border. No one immediately claimed responsibility.
Lebanese troops and UN peacekeepers later found the wooden platforms from which the rockets were fired, the official said.
The peacekeeping troops continued to urge both sides to exercise maximum restraint and had launched an investigation into the incident, Bouziane said, but would not comment on who could be behind the rocket attacks.
"We will wait for the report," she said.
The attack is the third this year.
In January, during Israel s assault on the Gaza Strip, four rockets fired from Lebanon fell on the north of Israel, injuring two women.
In February, Israeli artillery bombarded Al-Qlaileh in response to similar rocket fire. There were no casualties on the Lebanese side while a few Israelis were lightly wounded.
