Dena Hammerstein was for many years a devoted volunteer who brought sick children out to the theater, believing in the healing powers of the performing arts. In 1999, Hammerstein founded Only Make Believe, which brings free theater to chronically ill kids and those with disabilities. The organization now serves more than 50 hospitals throughout NYC and has reached more than 25,000 kids.
Only Make Believe's interactive live performances allow children to perform alongside professional actors, transporting them from the hospital to a world of their imagination. "It is a terrific escape from the daily life of being in a hospital," Hammerstein says. "Kids are free to fly and do activities that are usually not available."
Kids often take center stage in performances. Charlie Samuels
The organization, which has received celebrity support from actors including Jude Law, Julia Stiles, and Mike Meyers, also helps children build self-esteem and allows them to express themselves in creative ways, Hammerstein says. "I have seen kids sing a song we taught them before going into surgery and children speaking in social situations that are usually mute."
Each hour-long performance includes three professional actors who perform a specially written show with a theme song and a trunk full of props and costumes. The shows are performed in a six-week series, and each week features a new performance. "The kids and the actors get to know each other this way and all get to take a bow together at the end," Hammerstein says.
With a mission to reach as many kids in hospitals as possible, Only Make Believe recently expanded to the Washington, D.C. area. Hammerstein says she hopes to eventually bring Only Make Believe to kids across the U.S and internationally.

This stuff is great. It's very similar to Clinique's Sheer City Block tinted moisturizers, but way cheaper. I use this whenever I go out and will always keep it stocked.

I loooove this tinted moisturizer. I have this in light to medium and it matches my skin tone pretty well. I have a lot of brownish acne scars and I don't like to use foundation (actually I HATE using it) so I use this instead, and it works so much better. It really does even out my skin tone without it feeling all greasy and covered, plus it makes my skin glow. Since my face tends to get oily throughout the day, I top this moisturizer off with a pressed powder and I'm good to go.
Highly recommended if anyone wants a tinted moisturizer that really works and is affordable!

What's not to like about this moisturizer? It's got just the right amount of tint plus SPF, and moisturizes. I do, however, wish it came in a pump dispenser- I wish all skincare products did. Another reason I gave it a 4 is because I sometimes find that it is not moisturizing enough for my Clindamycin-and-BP-ed face, so I had to use more than your typical dime-sized amount to quench my face (which is a lot for such a small-sized product). The solution: mix a drop or two of Jojoba oil into the dime-sized amount and mix it between your hands, then apply. The result: glowing, moisturized, and protected skin. For all my fellow acne-sufferers: read up on Jojoba oil- its properties are AMAZING and it can easily be mixed with all your favorite moisturizers and shampoos/conditioners.

I bought this for a trip this coming summer, as I wanted something that would be lightweight but still offer coverage and had a decent SPF factor. I'm really satisfied with this product as it's all I asked for. The coverage amount is perfect too, and I think once summer's over I could continue wearing it as my normal foundation. It's light enough and doesn't run if it's hot out.

I love SG smoothers, it has been a loyal friend of mine for years and I keep rebuying it. I love that it has the combination of vitamin E and sunscreen and tint, and that it is oil-free and doesn't clog pores. I find it works very nicely with the CG simply powder foundation.

I LOVE this tinted moisturizer. I used to wear this every day a few years ago, but recently I've been wearing foundation+concealer+powder every day. I got tired of wearing so much makeup and started using up the last of my leftover CG Smoothers TM, and now I remember why I liked it so much back then. I always apply moisturizer first, then this TM, then loose powder (so everything stays in place). My skin feels super-hydrated all day long, and I love that this product includes an SPF. This product does offer light coverage, so I wear it during days when all I'll be doing is going to class, etc. It really evens out my slightly red, acne-prone skin, gives me a smooth complexion and natural glow, and feels fresh and hydrating (have I said that enough?) all day long. Plus, definitely not all too bad for a regular price of $7.99 at CVS. I will definitely be purchasing this product again!

This is a pretty decent TM, and I love that it has sunscreen. The coverage is VERY light, even for a tinted moisturizer. I think I need something with a bit more coverage so I probably won't buy it again. Also, when I put it on it kinda feels like it's just sitting on my face, even when I use loose powder over it.

Crystal Symphony
Cruise Ship
With her sleek silhouette and shimmering elegance, the legendary Crystal Symphony finds a natural home in the world's most glamorous harbors and idyllic ports of call. Generous per-passenger space ratios have become a Crystal trademark, along with forward-facing observation decks, a Palm Court lounge, and a wide teak promenade encircling the ship. A makeover in 2006 refreshed the Bistro Café and shops, reconstructed the casino and Starlite Lounge, and added a new nightclub called Luxe. An even more extensive refurbishment in 2009 transformed the Crystal Penthouses, Lido Café, and Prego Italian restaurant. Accented by a lovely waterfall, the focal point of the central two-deck atrium is a sculpture of two ballet dancers created especially for the space. Crystal Cove, the lobby lounge, is the spot to meet for cocktails as you make your way to the nearby dining room. Throughout the ship, public rooms shine with low-key contemporary style and flow easily from one to the next.

Daily Schedule
Day 1:
Arrivals in Los Angeles / Overnight aboard Queen Mary I
(Sunday, May 17)
Arrive To:
Los Angeles. Transfer to the Queen Mary Hotel.
THE QUEEN MARY: On May 27, 1936, the Queen Mary departed from Southampton, England embarking on her maiden voyage. She boasted five dining areas and lounges, two cocktail bars and swimming pools, a grand ballroom, a squash court and even a small hospital. The Queen Mary had set a new benchmark in transatlantic travel, which the rich and famous considered as the only civilized way to travel. For three years after her maiden voyage, the Queen Mary was the grandest ocean liner in the world carrying Hollywood celebrities like Bob Hope and Clark Gable, royalty like the Duke and Duchess of Windsor, and dignitaries like Winston Churchill. During this time she even set a new speed record, which she held for 14 years. But when the Queen Mary docked in New York in September 1939 that would be the last time she would carry civilian passengers for many years. As World War II started, the Queen Mary's transformation into a troopship had begun. She was painted a camouflaged grey color and stripped of her luxurious amenities. Dubbed the "Grey Ghost" because of her stealth and stark color, the Queen Mary was the largest and fastest troopship to sail, capable of transporting as many as 16,000 troops at 30 knots. After the end of WWII, the Queen Mary began a 10-month retrofitting process, which would return the ship to her original glory. On July 21, 1947, the Queen Mary resumed regular passenger service across the Atlantic Ocean, and continued to do so for nearly two more decades. The increasing popularity of air travel helped signal the end of an era for the Queen Mary. On October 31, 1967, the Queen Mary departed on her final cruise, arriving in Long Beach, California, on December 9, 1967. She has called Southern California her home ever since. The Queen Mary is now a floating Hotel, Attraction and Event & Wedding Venue, home to three world-class restaurants and an icon in Southern California.

When the one you've always wanted…
At sixteen, Annabelle Morgan hoped her crush on Jake Wilder was just a passing phase. Now she's twenty-nine and nothing has changed—except Jake. The once-carefree Marine has come home with a giant chip on his shoulder. He insists a single mom like Annie deserves more than he can offer. Yet no matter how gruff his gorgeous exterior may be, Jake's toe-curling kisses convince her that this attraction is definitely mutual.
Becomes the one who wants you back…
Butting heads with feisty Annie was always a thrill. Add other body parts to the mix, and Jake is in serious trouble. He can't be a forever-and-family guy—and Annie's not a friends-with-benefits kind of woman. But love has a way of changing the best-laid plans, and surrender has never been so tempting…
The outcome is truly sweet.
I'm so happy you dropped by the little corner of my world that makes me dream, laugh, sigh, and is the very heart of who I am. So grab a seat (or a barstool if you're so inclined) and have a look around my website. It's loaded with book excerpts, and playlists, and of course, recipes. Hard to write a series of books called The Sugar Shack novels without a little something sweet on the side. And please stop back by in the future.
Happily yours, Candis

Additional Notes
Complaint: This is my last resort before small claims court. I have a 2005 *** ***** coupe.August 2014: Took vehicle to Niello,spoke w/ service advisor ****. Told him reason bringing my vehicle in was because it had a BURNING OIL SMELL. I could smell BURNING OIL when the vehicle was stopped at a drive thru. I did not have any oil showing on ground. My purpose for bring the vehicle in was strictly to see why it has a BURNING OIL SMELL and what needed to be done for it to go away. I advised him that the oil and coolant lights were on dashboard. He said no problem, they would figure out why burning oil smell.August 2014: Called back by Niello and was told that for the burning oil smell to be gone, I needed $4,787.43 in repairs. Those repairs included upper timing case cover gaskets, cylinder head gasket sets, leaking coolant pump, valley pan and upper radiator hoses, water pump, thermostat, front lower thrust rob bushings. Being that I am a woman, I said if this is what you are telling me has to be done for the burning oil smell to go away, I have no choice but to pay it. I paid $4787.43 CASH.September to November 2014: Called Niello spoke to **** a few times, car still smells like burning oil. He said just did a "bunch of work" so the smell should go away soon.December 2014: Car still smells of burning oil. With the smell, oil light back on and now increased emissions is lit with it. **** once again said they will find out why the car is smelling of burned oil. **** called and said they found out why the car still smelling like burned oil. Repair would be $1564.29. I was concerned as I paid in August to get repairs done. Now he said that in order for smell to be gone replacement of leaking alternator brackets and tank valve replace.April 2015: STILL smell burning oil and emissions light on again. He said they would find out why, charge $190.84 replace air pipeJune 2015: Took to Niello, burning oil smell STILL, service engine and increased emissions light AGAIN. They will find why. Charge $360.82
Desired Settlement: I feel because I am a woman w/husband gone to military duty, Niello took advantage and charged me to fix things not needed for OIL BURNING SMELL. I didnt know this until husband home to review and asked why I was charged for rods and items that had nothing to do with why car taken in.They should have saw what was wrong the 1st and even 2nd time. I want refund back of everything I paid as car STILL has original BURNING OIL SMELL, oil and engine light on, things they said fixed & more. $6904.38
I am the Service Manager, **** *********. I have read *******'s concerns and have conducted some research already. We want our customers to have positive experiences. To date, these are our findings and our recommended next step:
I am rejecting this response because:
The vehicle was inspected as agreed with the customer and the BAR at Niello BMW Elk Grove. It was determined that the vehicle has worn valve stem seals internally in the engine. Niello BMW Sacramento agreed to repair THIS concern at no charge to the customer.

Complaint: I have a 06 BMW 325I I had transmission problems with it so I had it towed to Niello of Sacramento. I spoke to **** the next business day after my car was towed in I explained to him the issues and what I experienced. I also asked him not to test drive my car till he knew for sure where the problem was with my car. He called back said it was a pulley so we said fine fix it **** sent tech on a drive with my car called husband back 30 minutes later says my A.C compressor sheared off and was laying on bottom of engine. My car was not in that condition when it was towed in. Also **** never paid any attention to the big issue which was my transmission. So $3500 later **** says your car is fixed come get it. Well I picked it up the A.C. was not cooling the inside of care and smelled muggy. So exactly 6 weeks to the day later I have the same transmission issue that **** said there were no codes and nothing wrong. So drove to dealer spoke with **** he had his tech look at car said transmission is leaking it's an old leak and he is not sure why **** missed it the first time. So they went ahead and covered the repair. But tech broke a bracket in which holds the exhaust system never advised of it and never replaced it. Still having same transmission problems can't get anyone to respond ******* the attorney for Niello has not responded the G.M. ***** *** antis has never returned a call and overall the service manager is a coward and his name is **** *********.
Desired Settlement: I want my car fixed and Niello to replace the transmission that they have neglected 3 times and fix all the other issues they have caused since they were negligent to begin with.
Thank you for your patience. We have revisited the history and our work on the vehicle. We believe we have handled the complaints and the repairs in a manner consistent with BMWNA's guidelines and within the parameters allowed by Mrs. ********. When a customer declines further work, our ability to diagnose or address the issues is compromised. As a goodwill gesture, we will offer you 25% off any work approved on or before October 15, 2014. We would require a 50% deposit. If you are interested in further information, please contact ***** ******** at ********************.
Consumer Response: I am rejecting this response because: they have not done anything in good faith. They have caused more damage to my car. Every time I have taken it in they charge me for stuff that does not need to be fixed and the things that need to be done get ignored just like returning phone calls and emails. The second to the last time I had my car there and **** was the advisor and ***** was the tech they fixed a transmission leak and in the process broke the bracket off that held my exhaust pipes. I email pictures called ***** ** ****** no phone calls no emails returned. So if this bracket doesn't get fixed soon I will end up with a cracked catalytic converter and more issues with the transmission. They still have not responded to anything. The only thing I will except from Niello is that my car get fixed the bracket ***** broke off and never told me about then when I called the advisor he had no clue what it was. It wasn't till I had my car towed out of Niello cause it had been sitting there for 5 days with no work done on it and no calls from no one. When I had to have a different shop fix my carms I brought the box in and asked them if they could tell me where that piece went or if it was even mine. Sure enough it was mine but it was broken and never advised of it. So the other thing is that the service manager **** ********* knew that my car was coming in on that Monday anyways and he decides to leave at noon like no big deal. Of course to them is wasn't because they had my car and refused to let me have a loaner car. They never told me why or nothing. I have never destroyed the loaner cars. The only person who loses agian is me. They have gladly taken my money but never did the work. So still today my transmission is not fixed and by the time it acts up agian it will need to be replaced and with that Niello can pay for it. *** ***** ****** is the only other dealership that I will allow to fix my car. I want the transmission replaced because they can't figure out what the problem is. I even called a transmission shop and they could at least give me some idea of what it could be. So that is the only deal I'm willing to make with Niello. With all the other damages they caused and I have had to pay I could have already had a brand new transmission. So that's it. If not they can give me my money back and I will go somewhere else. I don't want to deal with them but the two remaining issues that they have caused and can't figure out is there doing and it's only fair they fix it. That is transmission and the bolt and bracket for the exhaust pipes.
Consumer Response: Hi *****, just to give you a little light on the situation with the car. Niello had the opportunity to work on my car for the 3rd time. I made an appointment to drop it off on 9/8. But because it overheated on my way home from work on 9/7 I had it towed. I was on the side of the road and I had to pay $200 to have it towed in. I got a call Monday morning from Carlos a service advisor. I explained to him the situation. He told me that **** ********* would be calling me. Well that's where it all started no one called me, returned any phone calls, or emails. I got fed up with being treated like shit so I called ****** ****** ***** to tow my car out of there which cost me $65 to do so. I made that decision on Friday after Niello had my car for 5 days now and still never got any message or returned calls. My husband even called to talk to an advisor but all the receptionists gave us the run around and told us there were busy. So that's why I had my car taken some where else. Mind you that on the 2nd visit for the same transmission issue they found a big oil leak that had been there and the tech and advisor from the very first visit missed. So while Jesse the service tech on the 2nd go around while he was taking the bracket off the exhaust pipes he broke it and the bolt but I was never told about it and they never fixed it. Instead they threw it in the box of old parts which I requested. When I looked in the box to see my parts I had the bracket the new drain plug that went to the new transmission pan still in the plastic package it came then there was this metal bracket of some sort. I called **** the service advisor and asked where this piece of metal belong and he had no idea. So attached is the copy of the work order with the recommendation that my transmission needs to be rebuilt due to the fact that the car has acted up 3 times and the codes keep coming up. Also I had Ellios give me an estimate of how much it would cost for the transmission. I will be calling you on Wednesday to talk with you about this and I have more questions for you.
I have spoken to ***** ********. He has reviewed the matter again and maintains that we have not performed any services that are not up to the standard of care in the industry. However, as a final goodwill gesture, he is willing to offer a $2,500 check towards payment for repair of the vehicle at a repair facility of Mrs. ********'s choice. ***** is out of town until October 27, 2014, so if this offer is accepted as a full resolution of any and all concerns that have arisen out of any and all transactions and conversations with anyone from Niello BMW, then please have ***** contact me directly.
*****, I will take and accept Niello's offer of the $2500.00 for the repairs.

Complaint: On January 17, 2013, my wife and I purchased a new 2013 X5 at Niello BMW. On the same sales contract, we also purchased a BMW Extended Vehicle Warranty for $4,160.00 and a Maintenance Upgrade for $2,795.00.On August 30, 2014, we purchased a new 2014 Lexus from Lexus of Sacramento and traded in the BMW X5. On September 1, 2014, I submitted a BMW Extended Vehicle Protection Cancellation Form to Niello BMW. Niello informed me I would receive a pro-rated refund of the $4,160.00. However, I was also told that the Maintenance Upgrade we purchased for $2,795.00 is non-refundable.My wife and I are not in agreement with Niello BMWs opinion that the Maintenance Upgrade is non-refundable. It is not reasonable for Niello BMW to keep the $2,795.00 that we paid for the Maintenance Upgrade when no service was rendered. Also, during the sales transaction on January 17, 2013, we were not informed that the Maintenance Upgrade is non-refundable. On September 3, 2014, I sent an email to Niello requesting a full refund of the Maintenance Upgrade in the amount of $2,795.00. Niello responded via email the same day stating the maintenance plan is not cancellable. Niello also attached a contract for my review. The contract attached to the email was an unsigned BMW Maintenance Program Upgrade Agreement which had my name, address, and vehicle information on it. It should be noted that on the bottom of the last page of the unsigned contract there is a form revision date of 06/2014, which is over a year after we purchased the new BMW. I responded to Niellos email the same day stating that the contract emailed to me was not explained to us at any time and it was not previously provided to us. On September 5, 2014, Niello responded via email stating the contract emailed to us was merely for us to review and that its not the actual contract from our file. On September 8, 2014, I sent Niello an email requesting a copy of the BMW Maintenance Program Upgrade Agreement from our file. Niello did not respond to this request. I am confident there is no such BMW Maintenance Program Upgrade Agreement in our file because we would have a copy of it in our records.
Desired Settlement: My wife and I are requesting a full refund of the Maintenance Upgrade in the amount of $2,795.00, since the service was not rendered and we did not sign a contract stating it is non-refundable.
Business Response:
Dear *****,
We received a letter regarding this matter dated September 12, 2014 in the mail. I received it on September 19, 2014. This is the first email we have received, so I do not understand what happened from a electronic perspective.
We are researching the matter and have asked the BBB for a 5 day extension. We have not heard back. Please advise.
Thank you, *******
Business Response: Thank you for your patience. Our research revealed that we do not have any record of providing the proper explanation to you at the time of sale. I apologize for this oversight. We will send a full refund, plus interest, to you at the address listed here. We appreciate your business. If there are any further questions, please let us know.

Complaint: I purchased a 2011 BMW 535i in November 2012, since then I have had one blow out and bubbles on the two front tires, resulting in replacing these tires 3 times! The two front tires were just replaced by Niello BMW in Sacramento, CA on April 11th,2014. Two months later another bubble appeared in the new tire. I took my car in and was told the tire is not under warranty and would be charged the full retail price of $500.00! I have researched this problem on the internet and learned that many other BMW owners with these run flat tires are having the same issue. I understand that BMW does not make the run flat tires, however BMW does choose what tires go on this model and they continue to use these run flats.
Desired Settlement: I am gong to have the tire replaced at ******* **** ******* because they warranty their tires. The
Business Response: Thank you for your patience. Normally under these circumstances, a customer would pay for a new tire, and we will return the damaged tire to the tire manufacturer for a warranty review. If it were found to be defective, the tire costs would be reimbursed. As a goodwill customer service gesture, ***** ********, our general manager, has agreed to pay for the costs you paid for the mounting and balancing of the tire. Please provide the invoice, and we will pay you for it. If they did not charge you those fees, we will reimburse you whatever we would charge fo the same job of mounting and balancing the tire.

Complaint: Niello BMW charged for a diagnostic test on my vehicle that was fraudulent and claimed my vehicle needed a wireing harness instead of conducting a complete diagnostic test on my transmission as they alleged that they did. after paying $5269.61 later the transmission place who did the work on my car based on the credibility of Niello BMW on Fulton rebuild my transmission only to find that the problem still exist, and not to mention the had to replace the wiring harness that niello charged my $827.00 to replace because it was defective apparently, so the Redline transmission called Niello NMW to let them know they replaced a new wire harness. When it was all said and done it turned out the car was still jerking after the transmission was rebuilt, RED line runs a diagnostic and finds out it was just the "trans control module" a part they purchase used for $250 bucks wow, and now I am out thousands of dollars because of Niello bad mis- representation of a diagnostic test.
Desired Settlement: Niello needs to pay for the cost to have my transmission replaced. it cost me $5,269.61 cents plus I had to pay them $827.00 for a fraud diagnostic test, and a wireharness that was defective and that I really didnt need it was the trans control module unit that was causing all the jerking with my car.
Business Response:
Dear *** ***************,
We understand your concern.

We would like you to be present. Is that an option?

On the other hand Mudit too admits to be just friends with Annie and says, "I and Annie are good
friends and I mean it. I consider her as my buddy and we share all our secrets with
each other. I remember I went through a break up few months back and luckily at that
