A Darkly Gripping Comic Fantasy
Beyond the wall of sleep lies the Dreamlands, a world formed by dreams, but not a dream itself. For countless millennia, it has been explored only by those with a certain detachment from mundane reality, its strange seas navigated and its vast mountains climbed by philosophers, mystics, and poets. Well, those halcyon days are over, beatniks.
Johannes Cabal is coming.
Cabal, a necromancer of some little infamy, is employed by the mysterious Fear Institute to lead an expedition into the Dreamlands, an expedition to hunt and destroy the dread Phobic Animus, the font of terrors, the very source of all the world's fear. They will enter exotic lands where magic is common and monsters abound. Cabal will encounter witches, vile abominations, and far too many zebras.
And, when they finally come close to their goal, Cabal will have to face his own nightmares. But for a man who communes easily with devils and the dead, surely there is nothing left to fear. . . .

Praise for The Fear Institute:
"Howard's affectionate, witty homage to Lovecraft's dream stories, complete with early-20th-century setting and language, is an enjoyably macabre comic adventure, and his antihero Cabal is, for all his overweening self-confidence, an engaging protagonist whose heart is not quite as hard as he would like to pretend." —Publishers Weekly
"Howard's characters, relentless imagination, twisting plotlines, and use of language make the Johannes Cabal series a real pleasure to read, and The Fear Institute is the best Cabal yet." —Richard Kadrey, author of the Sandman Slim novels"Comedy meets high-concept fantasy in Howard's latest Johannes Cabal outing. … Genre fans will appreciate Howard's attention to world building, while more general readers will simply enjoy all the horrific fun." —BooklistPast Praise for the Johannes Cabal series:
"Cabal, the detective and necromancer, is full of charismatic amorality, making him both a classical and refreshing antihero." —TimeOut (Chicago)"Cross Susannah Clarke's Jonathan Strange & Mr. Norrell with Gregory Maguire's Wicked, and you have this witty and sometimes touching debut novel in the Faustian tradition."—Library Journal"Howard's ear for witty banter and his skill at rendering black comedy bode well for the future."—Publishers Weekly"Amusing and clever." —The Freelance Star"Populated with some of the most creative, and odd, characters to be found . . . hysterical and fascinating." —Bookgeeks"Definitely entertaining, a cut above many books out there." —Free Lance-Star"Silly, erudite, and part a playful modern variant of the locked door murder mystery." —The Huffington Post"A delightfully wicked and inventive story." —Keith Donohue, author of The Stolen Child"That ole black magic has never been more fun than it is in this deft and quirky Faustian take. A diabolical romp." —Elle Newmark, author of The Book of Unholy Mischief"Johannes Cabal would kill me for saying this, but he's my favorite Zeppelin-hopping detective. The fellow has got all the charm of Bond and the smarts of Holmes—without the pesky morality." —Daniel H. Wilson, New York Times bestselling author of How to Survive a Robot Uprising"The spot-on work of a talented writer." —The Denver Post"Howard makes it look easy to paint a soul-stealing murdering necromancer as a sympathetic character; that, folks, is worth the price of admission." —The San Diego Union-Tribune"The language is clever and rich with literary allusions and cunning humour... For anyone whose taste edges toward the intelligent and macabre, this book is a gift." —Fangoria"A swashbuckling mystery set in a steampunk world." —Denver Post"Witty, inventive, and thoroughly entertaining, this rollicking Faustian adventure grabs the reader and holds him until the very last page." —Tucson Citizen"Every word of every page is carefully crafted and utterly precise and the whole thing is beautiful to read but, above all, it's so very, very funny. … Jonathan L. Howard is a supremely talented writer and the Johannes Cabal series makes for superb reading. It would be easy at this point to say if you like Rankin or Fforde or Pratchett or Holt then you will love these books, but while it may well be true it would be doing Howard a disservice." —Sci-Fi-London"Readers, rejoice; Johannes Cabal is back... Howard's Dreamlands will thrill fans of H.P. Lovecraft, but Cabal leaves a permanent mark on even the most fluid of landscapes, and Howard's writing shines, sketching out a personality both fascinating and heartbreaking, on an adventure that reverberates from Dreamlands to the waking world, with a future that every reader must hope involves many more stories to come." —Bookgeeks"There are thrills. Laughter. Tears. I am almost inclined to say this is the best Johannes Cabal book yet. Until the next one, I suspect. Read it. You'll be hooked." —Dracula Society Newsletter "In Johannes Cabal he has created a thoroughly unpleasant lead character who somehow the reader is rooting for - a real achievement." —Fortean Times"A thoroughly entertaining and hugely fun book populated by great characters . . . intelligently written and very funny." —Sci-Fi-London"Johannes is one of the most interesting fictional characters of our still-new century."— The Huffington Post"A charmingly gothic, fiendishly funny Faustian tale." —GoodReads"Not only does Howard deliver a devilish mystery but he also wraps it all up in a gorgeous 'steampunk noir' atmosphere." —Graemes Fantasy Book Review"Just as fast and funny as its predecessor. I loved it, and hope another one comes along 'as fast as a rabbit from a trebuchet' as the author so prettily puts it." —Tina Rath, The Dracula Society"I had no reason to expect this sequel to be even better than that steamalicious first book. Yet it is."—Warpcore

State Senate leader Phil Berger is a serious elected official with ambition and vision. His tax plan released this week is big and bodacious. His proposal will ignite a fierce debate about the size of state government, who and what should be taxed, and at what rate.
Most everyone agrees and has for years that North Carolinas tax code needs to be updated. It was developed during the Great Depression and, after decades of jerry-rigging, is now pocked with targeted benefits.
Sabra Faires, a former legislative staffer and assistant revenue secretary, ticked off the problems this week in a meeting with reporters: Too many exemptions and credits. Tax rates are too high. Tax revenues are too volatile.
Our state tax structure doesnt reflect todays economy. Our sales tax focuses on tangible goods. But our economy increasingly is built around services, most of which are untaxed. Half of state revenue comes from personal income taxes but that revenue swings wildly depending on the economy. Legislators often adjust rates to balance the budget.
For two decades, others have sounded a similar warning. But no major Democrat governor, speaker of the House or Senate president pro tem proposed fundamental change. Instead, they continued to carve out tax exemptions, usually for a favored industry. That narrowed whats taxed the tax base and increased pressure to raise rates.
Berger, a Republican from Eden, would:
• Lower the 7.75 percent top personal income tax rate to 4.5 percent.
• Cut the 6.9 percent corporate income tax rate to 6 percent.
• Lower the combined state and local sales tax (6.75 percent in most counties) to 6.5 percent. But that 6.5 percent sales tax would be expanded to more than 100 services that are now exempt, including professional services offered by attorneys, accountants and physicians.
Details lacking
Bergers plan also would cut taxes overall, although he has not said how much when fully in place. Indeed, Bergers plan has not been introduced as a bill and is short on details. Berger pledges to close exemptions to the sales tax, personal income tax and corporate income tax. But its unclear which exemptions would remain.
As The News & Observer reported recently, those exemptions add up to $9.2 billion a year (nearly half the size of the states $20 billion annual budget). Those exemptions have grown by $1 billion in the last four years.
Some of the $9.2 billion in exemptions benefit much of the state, including the standard deduction from the state income tax. But others benefit a single industry and sometimes a single business.
Berger said on Twitter this week that his plan eliminates special-interest loopholes that hurt most families. But Berger himself was responsible for one of the breaks, as The N&O reported recently a $400,000 annual tax break for the company that owns Lowes Foods.
In taxing many services at 6.5 percent and slashing income tax rates, Bergers plan appears to shift the tax burden to those with less income. His tax calculator, at nctaxcut.com, shows a married family of four with $30,000 in gross income paying about $1,000 a year more in taxes.
Much of the coming debate will be about the proposed shift of taxation away from income and toward consumption.
Give Berger credit for recognizing a problem and working to address it. Whether his prescription is best is open to debate. Let the discussion begin.

CHOUTEAU – Chouteau Ladycat senior Carra Wilson had a double-double with 14 points and 11 rebounds, while freshman Dayla Vance added another 12 points and seven boards, as the Ladycats cruised to a 48-35 win Friday night.
It was Chouteau's second win of the season.
"That's the team I've been telling them that they are all year long," said head coach Denisha Posey. "Carra Wilson took over as a leader for her team. They all knew they could do it and they made it happen."
The Ladycats led by as many as nine in the first quarter, when junior Rachel Weathermen drained a trey at the buzzer, putting Chouteau up 15-6. Vance would also drain a three just seconds before the end of the first half, increasing the lead to 11 at the half, 22-11.
Nowata head coach Glenn Hass was ejected with 7:46 to go in the game, when he received a double technical foul. Karlee Alberty nailed both her technical free throws, while Weathermen made 1-of-2.
Chouteau will take on county rival Adair next Tuesday in Adair.
Nowata 6 5 11 15 35
Chouteau 15 7 11 15 48

Q: Why can't I read the competition threads?
A: Competition forums on the board are available to those with a Season Pass or a premium membership How to View Kiss & Cry
Editors are doing a good job of getting in all the crazy stuff that went down before the POV comp.
Wonder if they'll show Judd almost dying and needing the paramedics?!?
Knew that GM was so close to winning. Too bad she dropped her ball that one time. She really is in good shape, almost as good as Elissa. Well she was in good shape; she decided to horse around with Judd this afternoon and hurt her back. Hope that doesn't come back to bite her in the coming comps.
And they totally left out Judd wanting GM up on the block over Andy but besides that, pretty good edit on what went down.
Looking forward to tomorrow night to see Aaryn's eviction. With 16 NFL preseason football games on the slate tomorrow, check your local CBS station's broadcast schedule as some areas are not getting BB live on CBS but on sister stations like the CW.
I thought it was hilarious how Amanda tried so hard to have an affect on Elissa in varying ways and Elissa's response to each different attempt was basically to laugh. It's even more hilarious to think about Amanda's bit a while back about honestly asking if anyone could see her as a bully. Girl, you're in the dictionary under B (for an entry in addition to bully as well)!
It's official. I am madly in love with Meryl Davis.
notrachel has been threatening to DOR all season
I feel like I'm in a dream. But it can't be a dream because there are no boy dancers!
Or, as made famous in An Officer and a Gentleman, life can be made hellish until the soldier DOR's.
ugh, more BigotGate talk last night, Amanda and Aaryn discussing Asians (negatively of course), and Aaryn saying her dad will say she got evicted because everyone else is "too PC to evict the queer [sic]".
As someone on twop said, what a smart thing to say the night before you're going to be interviewed by an Asian woman who happens to be married to the president of the network (Aaryn has made comments about wanting to work w/CBS like Jeff does in the past). I really hope Julie replays that tape while Aaryn is sitting in the interview and asks her to explain herself.
Q: Why can't I read the competition threads?
A: Competition forums on the board are available to those with a Season Pass or a premium membership How to View Kiss & Cry
So why are people wanting to keep Andy over Aaryn? Andy is liked for the most part by everybody, so he will steal votes from you at the finale and you will lose the big cash prize. People mostly hate Aaryn, so she will not take your votes and you take home the cash. What am I missing? That Aaryn might get votes for winning competitions and making big moves (albeit at someone else's direction)?
And if Elissa has an alliance with Gina Marie, Spencer and Judd, then those three would vote out Andy and McCranda's votes mean nothing. I'm assuming McCranda want to keep Andy over Aaryn? Why is that? And who is going along with the power duo instead of sticking with a four-person CONTROLLING MAJORITY of Elissa, GM, Spencer and Judd??
It's official. I am madly in love with Meryl Davis.
Sounds like Elissa, GM, Spencer and Judd can hide their alliance by voting with McCranda - Aaryn is expendable. Plus, it's hard to keep track, but I think there's a side alliance with Spencer, Judd and Andy and possibly McCrae. Again, Aaryn is expendable as her only alliance is with GM - and even there GM is ready to dump her. McCranda are sticking with Andy as they were aligned with him at the beginning and think he's still true to them. Plus, Helen likes Aaryn, her protege, and let us not forget the potential influence she might have in the jury house.
Andy has a final 2 deal with Spencer so no way is Spencer voting out his closest ally in the house.
Judd has always wanted to work with Andy, even though many, many people have told him not to trust him. So he's not voting him out.
GM wants to please her new bff, Elissa so she is going to vote out Aaryn cause that's what Elissa wants.
McCrae wants an all guys final 4 so that's why he is keeping Andy and for once Amanda has decided not to push him.
Aaryn also has a history of winning competitions. This makes her a threat.
There is no controlling majority of Elissa, GM, Spencer and Judd. Would that there were!
Q: Why can't I read the competition threads?
A: Competition forums on the board are available to those with a Season Pass or a premium membership How to View Kiss & Cry
True to date, but you never know when someone is going to start doing their own thing, or start listening to someone else other than you.
Also, they might fear that she'll become a veto machine - no power, but you can't get her out either, and she can compete every week.
A win is a win and a threat is a threat. That's life in the BB house.
Have plans for tonight so I'm going to miss Aaryn's walk of shame out of the house. I'll have to catch the episode tomorrow.
Thinking good thoughts for a Judd or Gina Marie HOH win tonight. She has a bad back and he's a nervous wreck so I'm not too optimistic but you never know.
I enjoyed tonight. I had read about the Exterminators, but actually seeing/hearing it actually go down - I am intrigued. I think right now I am only rooting for Judd or Elissa to win. The rest - whatever. I do find it interesting that it seems like Judd does not have a target on his back for his reentry.
I am still amazed by Elissa and her zen like reaction to Amanda. I would not have the patience and would get in such a yelling fight with her. Amanda's down all will be traced back to Elissa's HOH. The others seem to finally see what Amanda is and hopefully will take action. One of McCranda better go in the first eviction next week.
Aaryn's exit - considering the constraints - I am impressed with how professional Julie was with Aaryn - and a message was made and I think actually received by Aaryn. But if I was a Texan, I would disown Aaryn. do you think the hamsters in the house heard any of the reaction as Aaryn left?
I hope either Judd or GM wins HOH.
In many ways I don't like GM- but somewhere in there - I see something decent. I hope she does have the right support for when she gets out and can learn from the experience and move on. There are times she seems caring, and she is not as dumb as she comes across at times.
I just do not like Andy - I finally realized why - he really comes across like an 8 year old boy.
Julie did a fair job of nailing Aaryn's behavior, and Aaryn predictably denied saying anything because, something like, she's from Texas where they do that? I wonder if Aaryn can back watch the 70 some days from the jury house and will come out swinging on the last night with some kind of apology?
Were we all supposed to know that this upcoming week is double elimination?
Amanda won HoH? For goodness sake. This season is just awful.

Entertainment behind the scenes
from Africa News blog:
At last: a positive look at Africa on U.S. TV
American television audiences were treated on Sunday night for the first time to the show "The No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency", which is based on the best-selling series of novels set in Botswana by Alexander McCall Smith.
The series, being aired in the United States by HBO, has already been broadcast by the BBC in Britain. Like the novels, it follows the light-hearted adventures of Precious Ramotswe as she seeks to solve mysteries with her keen intuition and big heart.
My colleague Rebekah Kebede did an advance story on the U.S. premier which you can read here.
I have read most of the novels, and the TV premier seems to stick to the spirit of the books. African problems, such as AIDS or the use of body parts from kidnapped children to make traditional medicine, or "muti," are not swept under the carpet. But many of the tales woven by McCall Smith are uplifting or deal with profound ethical dilemmas that his intrepid lady detective always resolves.

What do Batman theater shooter James Holmes and Norwegian mass murderer Anders Behring Breivik have in common? According to the German news magazine Der Tagesspiegel, both men lacked a Facebook account.
Slashdot's summary of the German article: "Not having a Facebook account could be the first sign that you are a mass murderer."
Though not going so far as to label non-Facebook users sociopaths, Kashmir Hill of Forbes warned that those who avoid the social media site could be inviting additional scrutiny.
"Anecdotally, I've heard both job seekers and employers wonder aloud about what it means if a job candidate doesn't have a Facebook account. Does it mean they deactivated it because it was full of red flags? Are they hiding something?" she wrote.
Hill speculated that getting through life without a Facebook account might soon become equivalent to "trying to get into a bar without a driver's license."
While the potential professional ramifications are one thing, non-Facebook users may also face issues in their personal lives as well.
A Slate Magazine article advises readers to be suspicious of any date who does not have a Facebook profile.
"If you're of a certain age and you meet someone who you are about to go to bed with, and that person doesn't have a Facebook page, you may be getting a false name. It could be some kind of red flag," wrote Slate advice columnist Emily Yoffe.
The Daily Mail summarized the issue as follows: "It's the suspicion that not being on Facebook, which has become so normal among young adults, is a sign that you're abnormal and dysfunctional, or even dangerous."
Is not having a Facebook account abnormal? Do you think it is fair that people should be judged professionally or personally for not participating in social media? Let us know in the comments.

Times West Virginian
Sometimes field goals are tough to get, but for West Virginia University's clutch-shooting freshman Eron Harris, they come far easier than tickets for his homecoming today.
Harris, you see, is an Indiana kid, which in terms of basketball is like saying a race horse is from Kentucky or a peach is from Georgia.
His roots lie in Indianapolis, his pedigree out of Lawrence North High School, which has turned out any number of college stars, not the least of which was Greg Oden, son of former Fairmont State player Joe Jones. Oden was recently picked by MaxPrep as the No. 2 high school basketball player of the last decade behind a guy named LeBron James.
Harris hasn't reached those heights, but when WVU plays Purdue at 1:30 p.m. today, he'll be back in Indiana, and there are quite a few people who want to see his return.
"I've got to get 15 plus tickets for family members. Friends will be more," he said.
And where do those tickets come from?
"Nobody else on the team is using theirs," he said.
If you are a basketball player in Indiana, you are royalty. Think of the players that have come out of the state.
You begin, of course, with Oscar Robertson, We're half a century past his prime and he's still on everyone's all-time lists.
But there's more, so much more. Check it out, in no particular order and not meaning to be all-inclusive:
• Larry Bird
• Kyle Macy
• Rick Mount
• Walt Bellamy
• The Van Arsdale twins
• Reggie Miller
• Austin Carr
• Isaiah Thomas
• Steve Alford
• Shawn Kemp
• Adrian Dantley
• George McGinnis
• Glenn Robinson
• A guy named John Wooden
Not to put young Eron Harris in this class, but this is what kids growing up in Indiana are shooting for, to etch their name there somewhere, and he's off to a decent start, especially as a clutch player.
"That's where it's at, Indiana basketball; everybody knows that," he said when the subject came up in advance of heading to Purdue. "It's competition; it's about the public schools. In Indiana you don't have the private schools."
Once upon a time you didn't have divisions in the state tournament, which led to the movie "Hoosiers".
And in that same category of famous schools is Lawrence North, which not only turned out Oden but Mike Conley and Eric Montross.
"I was happy to be part of that tradition," Harris said. "I wanted to be an Indiana All-Star. It didn't happen for me, but I'm still here, though, playing at the next level."
The top Indiana colleges like Indiana, Purdue, Notre Dame, even Butler, were filled up before he showed off his best talent, averaging 14 points a game as a senior while shooting 85 percent from the free-throw line.
"I just wanted to find a comfortable place, a place that cared about the players," he said.
And he felt comfortable with WVU and Bob Huggins.
One reason was Huggins reminds him of his high school coach, Jack Keefer.
"He's a mini-version of Huggins. That's how I've always described him. My dad taught me the same way, so I'm prepared," he said.
Keefer, he said, focused on individual work with his players.
"He always had us in the gym working with an assistant coach. He always felt if we got better as individuals we would get better as a team, and he always preached toughness," Harris said.
Harris had to admit that Keefer did not have a treadmill like Huggins.
"We didn't have a treadmill, but we had a floor. We didn't need a treadmill," he said, inferring they ran baseline to baseline a whole lot.
And so he really did feel comfortable.
Of course, he had to impress Huggins and work his way into playing time, something he has done in the best way possible, by being maybe the one guy on the team who can shoot a little bit from the outside.
What's more, he seems to do it at the most opportune moments.
A couple of Wednesdays ago at Texas he calmly sank a 3-point shot with 16.4 seconds left that gave the Mountaineers a stunning 50-47 lead. It could have been the game-winner, but Texas tied in the final seconds to force overtime.
Sunday it was more of the same, WVU was staring at defeat against No. 18 Kansas State when he went to the baseline and hit an off-balance, falling-away shot that put WVU up 64-63. But 25.8 seconds were left, and the Mountaineers blew this lead and lost.
Then, on this past Wednesday at Iowa State he began pumping in long 3s in the second half as WVU outscored the Cyclones 31-13 down the stretch to erase an 18-point deficit only to lose in the final seconds again.
With this he went from being a big part of the WVU future to being a big part of the present.
He understands he's still learning, still waiting for it all to come together for him.
That's the hard part, having been a high school star and then spending a lot of time sitting and waiting for chances as a freshman.
"I think it helps to keep talking to people who have already been through it," he said. "We have a perfect person in Da'Sean Butler. He's always talking to us about being patient; your time will come."
Harris' is coming faster than anyone realized it would.
"He comes in with a great attitude, and he gives us a shot of athleticism we really need out on the court," Huggins said.

Valpo Drops Season Opener 60-47 at Oregon
Saturday, November 15, 2003Cathrine Kraayeveld scored 19 of her 25 points in the second half as Oregon rallied from a deficit early in the second half to defeat Valparaiso 60-47 on Saturday in the opening round of the Women's Sports Foundation Classic held in Eugene, Ore.
Playing in front of 3,648 fans in both teams season opener, Valpo struggled from the floor over the first six minutes as the Ducks raced out to an 11-0 lead. The Crusaders missed their first ten shots of the game before Jamie Gutowski (Crown Point, Ind./Andrean H.S.) scored on a lay-in with 13:24 remaining in the half.
Valpo then caught fire and turned up the pressure defensively, notching an 11-2 run over 3:52 to close within two, 15-13 after a three-pointer by Carrie Myers (Stickleyville, Va./Lee H.S.). Oregon pushed the lead back to six, but back-to-back triples by Katie Boone (Greenwood, Ind./Center Grove H.S.) tied the contest at 19 with 5:46 to play, and the game remained tied, 23-23, at halftime.
The Crusaders struck first in the second half on a tip-in by Jenna Stangler (St. Michael, Minn./St. Michael-Albertville H.S.). Oregon retook the lead, but Myers hit her second three of the game with 15:33 remaining to put Valpo in front 31-30. After Brandi Davis hit a three, Boone tied the game at 33 with a lay-in at the 14:46 mark, but that would be the last time the Crusaders would be tied.
The Ducks scored the next seven points, and after Tamra Braun (Savage, Minn./Prior Lake H.S.) cut the lead to three with a pair of baskets inside, Kraayeveld went to work. The senior scored Oregon's next 13 points, including three treys as the lead was pushed to 11, 53-42, with 4:46 to play.
Another 7-0 spurt pushed the lead to 60-44 with 2:30 to play, and the Ducks ran out the clock over the final minutes.
Kraayeveld led all scorers with 25 points on 10-of-18 shooting from the floor, along with grabbing 11 rebounds and blocking four shots.
Boone led the Crusaders with 14 points, including going 3-for-3 from outside the arc, while grabbing five boards and dishing out three assists. Stangler added eight points and tie for game-high hours grabbing 11 boards. Braun added eight points in her collegiate debut, while grabbing seven rebounds and tallying three blocks. Myers also scored eight points for Valpo.
Andrea Bills scored eight points and grabbed seven rebounds for Oregon (1-0), while Corrie Mizusawa dished out 13 assists.
Valpo (0-1) shot just 31.3% (20-for-64) from the floor, while Oregon shot 42.6% (26-for-61). Both teams struggled from the free throw line, as they each made just one of five attempts. Oregon outrebounded the Brown and Gold 42-39, but the Crusaders held a 17-13 advantage on the offensive glass. Both schools committed 14 turnovers, but the Ducks blocked seven Valpo shots.
The Crusaders will return to the hardcourt on Sunday afternoon in the consolation game of the Women's Sports Foundation Classic. Valpo will face Villanova, a 63-56 loser to #9/10 LSU, beginning at 2:30 p.m. CST.

This is THE place that started me on the road to GOOD beer, mainly import but also micro, quality over quantity...have always gone for the amazing beer selection the food, though good was always an after thought as it's more of a dinner place than a pub food kinda place, very good German food nonetheless. They also have a very good "World Tour" that nets you a mug with your name on it that remains at the bar for the days when you stop by to enjoy some after work or lunch time elixir...I'll never forget this place and the beers on-tap that are still in my top five, Aventinus, St. Ambrous Oatmeal Stout and the mighty La Chouffe

Took eleven of my closest family and friends to Der Braumeister after reading about it here at BA. Called ahead for reservations and everyone at the restaurant were accomodating about the reservations.
A Great...a german rustic interior whic was very approrpriate for the beer and food selection. Sure enough, I saw the chalkboard with the current tap selections. 10 beers listed, but only 9 available on tap (they did not have the St. Bernardus abt 12 listed there). They had bar stools, some wooden booths and places like our table which featured separate chairs. Cloth napkins, readily supplied with beer, food and wine menus.
Q Beer quality: quite good, especially if you like german beer. Served for the most part in the appropriate glasses (not always the EXACT labeled glass but appropriate none the less). I had two beers presented in their own labled glass. Food quality: Fair. I had the German sausage platter (Knockwurst and Bratwurst) with saurkraut with some German potato soup. The soup was thin for my taste but others told me that it is appropriate for "real" german soup. Oh well, I did not care for it that much.
Service: Only fair. Twice I ordered a beer and the waitress seemingly forgot about it. I had to go to the bar myself to get the beer in question. That was not very convenient at all. Sure, I was in a group of 12 but still...ordering beer cannot be something new to the waitress, can it?
Selection: Beer: great. 9 beers on tap and another 60-70(?) in bottles. Not limited to German. A few U.S. beers and some belgians but the focus was (approrpiately) German. Food: good and very appropriate (again) in being focused on German.
F Only fair (see comments on quality above). I do not recall being "blown away" by any german food but this was pedestrian.
V reasonable. Dinner for two with $12.00 of beer and tip was $55.00. Take out the drinks and it was something like $40. Not bad at all.
Notes: I really anticipated this first trip to Der Braumeister (which is why I brought eleven people with me) and while I like it, and recommend it, I will not be rushing back there. The beer experience was a positive one for sure but the food being only fair was a dissapointment. One last point: I could not help but compare it to Chef Paul's Bavarian House in Lisle, Illinois since they are both German places featuring large beer selection. It is not even close to the Bavarian House but then who could be?

The first stop on our mini beer tour of the greater Cleveland area, Der Braumeister offers some great German and Belgian selections along side some good food and genuine European atmosphere. We arrived around 5:30 on a Monday and the place was all but empty. The four of us took a seat in the rustic old dining room. The decor and atmosphere was charmingly out-dated with an almost cabin-like feel. Wooden tables, booths, walls, trim, etc. The bar area was toward the front of the place but we spent most of our visit at a table in the dining room. We ordered up some mugs of the usual German stables and some appetizers. The meat, cheese, and fruit platter was tasty and appropriate. My cousin, being a bit more courageous, order the bacon wrapped scallops. I advised him on the potential ramifications of ordering scallops from an empty German restaurant on a Monday evening. He persistently ordered and the turned out to be very tasty. Both the beer and the food were reasonably priced and the service was friendly and prompt. Before we set off for our next location we visited the beer and specialty food shop connected to the bar. They had a decent selection of bottles and some interesting foods as well. We purchased some gourmet chocolate and a couple bottles of Kriek De Ranke (for a very reasonable $10/bottle). We had a great time and I would certainly suggest visiting. In fact I am even prepared to forgive the fact that it's located in 'The mistake by the lake.'

Stopped in here one evening after work recently. I was seated at a tall, round table in the bar area right away. the bar area is in the middle of this complex. If you are facing the front of the establishment, the deli with lots of meats is on the left side of the bar area and there is a dining room connected. I didn't go in the deli or dining room. The wood walls are lined with lots of beer signs/mirrors, the lighting was somewhat dim and there was what I would describe as German pop music playing, but not too loudly. The young waitress brought me a menu and list of their beers right away too. A middle aged couple were the only other patrons at this time, so that could have accounted for the very speedy service, at least partially. The other, older woman behind the bar very knowledgeably answered all my beer questions. Their bottled selection, which totaled 50 beers, included offerings from Unibroue, Lechaffe, Dinkel Acker, Leffe Blonde, St. Bernardus, Hof Brau, Grimbergen, Dab, Stieglbrauerei zu Salzburg GmbH, and Reissdorf Kölsch among many others. They also have 10 offerings on-tap and the selections included a lambic from Roderbach, Corsendonk Christmas Ale, an offering from Weihenstephan, and an offering from Samuel Smith. I believe you can also get bottled beer to go here. It looked like they also had a fairly good selection of wine and hard liquor. For food I got an order of German Potato Soup at $3.75 a bowl and an order of 4 big mushroom caps with cheese and crab meat baked on top. Very good and filling! The food came quickly which was good as I was very hungry at the time. For beer I got an Original Stieglbock. A very enjoyable experience overall.

A quaint little place in a blue collar looking neighborhood. Dimly lit interior with a nice dark wooden bar that probably seat a dozen or so shoulder-to-shoulder.
I spied most of the taps to be great German offerings outside of a St. Bernardus Abt 12 and possibly an IPA. The Dinkle Dark was tasty and true. The Franziskaner Hefe was spot-on. My buddy & I even tried the Schlenkerla Rauch beer (cellar temp. in the litre bottle) paired with some homemade German smoked (cold) sausage. This combination proved very pleasing and memorable.
We walked over to the dining section that had many cozy booths and tables in the center. A very wide wall was decorated with some kind of Bavarian castle towering over a majestic forest -which looked very cool and fitting.
Overall a place I sure wish was in my town. The bar area is quintessential warm, cozy, friendly and authentic as a local pub that you could imagine. Not trendy, not flashy, just great.

Der Braumeister is a little piece of Germany that can easily be found in a small plaza on the corner of Lorain Ave and W 130th. Just look for a CVS and Der Braumeister is across the street from that. They only have a few free parking spaces behind the restaurant, but there are some residential streets near by. I've never beer to a German biergarden before, but if you had imagine one, this is what it would look like. When you first walk in, you're going to notice that it's very small, dark, and they decorated the bar area with vintage American and German beer signs all around the bar and tables. Walk past the tables and on the right you're going to notice two big stag heads on the wall pointing down to the doorway to the dining room. They packed the dining room with as many tables and booths that they could fit in. Past the dining room is another small hallway to a banquet room that looks like the owners of Der Braumeister took it out of German 18th century castle. If you walked past the 2 stag heads in the bar area to the end of the bar, you're going to come face to face with a big chalkboard that's filled with all the bottled beers they have. Their tap chalkboard list can be found above the bar. If you look to the left from the bottled chalkboard list, you're going to see 2 beer refrigerators filled with German and a few Belgian bottled beers and another doorway. That doorway leads you to their German market. Their German market has a deli case, shelves of German food and knickknacks, wine, and beer that they sell at the bar. Their market is definitely worth a stop after you're done eating and drinking next door. Hell, the market itself is worth a stop even if you're not going to the bar or restaurant.
When I was there on a Friday afternoon, it was almost dead in there. There was me, the group I was with, and just one or two restaurant patrons. That's good, because the waitress was friendly and not overworked. She knew how to pour the beer correctly and she knew the entire restaurant menu. The only minor problem I had, was when I asked if she had any Doppelbocks. She said they had this and this, but then she came clean that she really didn't know that much about the beer. I saw other bartenders, but I'm sure they would have some kind of knowledge when it came to the beer they sell. I've never tried to order bottled beer to go at other bars, but I'm glad that they do it here.
I was expecting them to have a wide diverse range of German and maybe some other European styles on tap, but most of the German beers on tap was either a Pils or Hefeweizen. Don't get me wrong, those are good, but I would have liked to see other German styles on tap. When I was there, the tap list consisted of Weihenstephaner Hefe Weissbier, Dinkelacker Pils and Dark, Hofbrau Pils and Dark, Franziskaner, La Chouffe, Leffe Blond, and 2 different Deliriums. Laying off to the side, I saw a Unibroue Maudite tap handle hooked up to nothing. That's too bad because I would have bought a pint of that. Their bottled selection was much more diverse than their draught line up. Their bottled list consisted of common and a few uncommon German beers, a few well know Belgian beers, and only 3 North American beers. The only breweries for North America they had was Unibroue, Ommegang, and Anderson Valley. They had only one kind of Anderson Valley, every Ommegang, and almost the entire line of Unibroue we get here in the States. They didn't even have any Great Lakes. Their extensive line of German beers with a few Belgian beers added into the mix, consisted of Chimay, Rochefort 8, 3 or 4 varieties of Aecht Schlenkerla Rauchbier, Moosbacher, Tucher Bajuvator, Ettal Curator, Paulaner, Schnieder, Aventinus, Warsteiner, Weltenburger Pils, Eggenberg, Kapuziner, Ayinger Celebrator, Augustiner Maximator, Uerige Doppelsticke, Stiegl, Tranquir, and plenty more where that came from. If you're looking for a German beer that's distributed to Ohio, it's more than likely to be found at this little piece of Germany in Cleveland called Der Braumeister. Don't go here if you're in the mood for an American micro.
While I was here, I just had to partake in their German food. I ordered their potato pancake Rueben with turkey and corned beef and topped with sauerkraut and 1000 island dressing. That was good stuff. I've never had German food before and that was a good start. I saw some of other food they served and looked really good too.
It's not the cheapest place in town to get a draught or bottled beer, but look what you're paying for. The draught beer was $4.50 to $6, but you get a big 16-20 oz. glass for that, but that was for the German beers. I don't know what glass you get if you order a Delirium. The prices for the food are what they are everywhere else. They don't serve any bar food here, unless you count German food as bar food. If you want to go to Germany and you don't want to leave Cleveland, then Der Braumeister is your best bet.

A little part of Germany right in the middle of Cleveland. That's your first impression as you walk into this wood clad, lodge like pub decked in German steins, beer signs, mounted game heads. The only problem with the atmosphere was sometimes horribly cheesy german pop songs broadcasting throughout the meal. But then there was the beer, a wonderful selection of mostly German and Belgians which immediately cause your mouth to water. About ten selections on tap and a hundred or more in bottles including many that Im not familiar with. The service was great although our server was only on her third day. We had to ask for a glass to pour an Orval into (drinking Orval from the bottle???). The food was a little lacking in appeal. I ordered the Sauerbraten and it seemed that the gravy on the spatzle and the sauce used on the roast beef were from a can or a bag. The beef was a rather small portion of 3 medium thick slices of beef that also seem like it was precooked, precut, or prepackaged. For $17 I wasnt all that impressed. Luckily the chalices full of St. Bernardus made me feel better. I will surely return and drink, but get to know my servers and bartenders and find out what they suggest eating.

Der Braumeister is one of my favorite places in the Cleveland area.
The atmosphere is wonderful, dark paneling, wood booths etc. The place is divided into three areas, the bar, a dining area, and a reception area with a beautiful mural covering one wall. Location on Lorain is just a few blocks west of 117th St.
Service has always been great, friendly bartenders, interesting clientel.
The draft beer selection is very good, 7 or 8 German beers on tap, as well as La Chouffe, usually a Unibroue selection, and another rotating Belgian selection or two. ( St Bernardus 12 on my last visit ! ) They also have a fine selection of bottles, with some harder to find German selections. Beers are served in proper glassware. Excellant.
The food is also very good, with both pub fare, and above average German dishes.
Well worth a stop if you are in the Cleveland/ Lakewood area. Cant wait to go back.

Located in a working class neighborhood on the west side of Cleveland. Had been itching for some German food so I made the trip. Parked around back and entered in the front. Bar area is first. Dark and lots of old wood. Mounted deer heads and cuckoo clocks abound as well as alot of breweriana on the walls and shelves. Still has a very neighborhood bar quality to it that I liked, as if people had been eating and drinking here for generations.
Anyway, I sat down at a wooden booth in the dining area and was handed the extensive beer list. Lots on draft and even more in bottles. A quick count was 16 taps and 50 bottles. La Chouffe was on tap, lots of various German beer too. I ordered a Mai Bock. Bottles included lots of Unibroue, Aecht Schlerneka, and lots of German beers that I quite frankly had never heard of.
Food was great. Pierogies, potato soup, cabbage and spatzle were all terrific. The sauerbraten was good too, though not quite as tender as I would like. But that's splitting hairs overall.
Was not crowded when I went for dinner but the service was prompt and friendly and the waitress was even able to recommend a pils to me for my second beer. So they obviously educate their staff. A bit pricey but worth the extra scratch.

I was compelled to read this novel after seeing the excellent miniseries, and I loved the book even more.

DANVILLE — An Orangeville woman will face Montour County Court action on charges of burglary and theft of drugs from Geisinger Medical Center.
Lisa Ann Bialecki, 31, waived her right to a preliminary hearing Wednesday. She was returned to jail.
Mahoning Township police were called to the hospital June 1 about Bialecki being detained for defiant trespass. She was fired from the hospital Aug. 22, 2011, and told not to return unless for treatment.
On Sept. 21, 2011, and Sept. 25, 2011, she returned to the hospital and was found in secure locations, according to Patrolman Chad Thomas. She was evicted and told not to return.
On May 31, Geisinger security called police to say Bialecki was back on hospital property. A video showed her accessing a secure location using a combination key pad on a locked door, police said. She entered the proper code and gained access to the secured location and then left the property, police said.
Police were called June 1 about Bialecki being in the hospital.
Thomas took her into custody and was driving her to her vehicle so she could remove the keys from the ignition. She began pulling items from underneath her shirt, police said. They included three plastic containers labeled Morphine Sulfate, a packaged needle, a packaged syringe and two Tramadol tablets, police said.
Thomas said she started crying, saying she stole the items and needs help with her drug addiction.
Thomas charged her with two counts of burglary, criminal trespass, possessing a controlled substance, use of or possession with intent to use drug paraphernalia, theft and receiving stolen property.

Money on the markets
A maturing market amid the mayhem
Sensex falls 3.2 pct, led by Reliance Ind
Indian stocks struggled throughout trade today, weighed down by grim economic data and weakness in global markets. The benchmark index closed 3.2 percent lower, led by a fall in some heavyweight stocks.
Reliance Industries (RIL) and Reliance Petro were in focus, after the former announced that it would absorb its Reliance Petro unit through a share swap. RIL will issue one share for every 16 held in Reliance Petro.
Shares in RIL lost over 3 percent in trade, whereas Reliance Petro closed 1.38 percent lower.
It was a tough day for large caps, with stocks like ICICI plunging 7.2 percent and L&T dropping 4.4 percent.

Narrow year range (drag arrows to filter):
The 2014 Kia Rio and Rio 5 receive only minor enhancements this year. Additional plastic shielding under the car helps improve aerodynamics, while interior upgrades include a new water-temperature gauge. A redesigned Smart Key fob includes a folding key for added convenience.
For 2013, Kia offers its Idle Stop and Go (ISG) technology as part of the Rio EX's Eco package. ISG automatically shuts down the engine when stopped and then restarts it once the gas pedal is depressed. Also new are steering-wheel paddle shifters on the Rio SX.
The Kia Rio has been completely revamped for 2012 and has an even lower price tag. It's still available as a 4-door sedan, but adds a 5-door hatchback design, both of which sport a new look, a new engine and enough tech-savvy features to make others in its class jealous.
For 2010, the Rio5 receives a new front end treatment, keeping it inline with the new face of Kia. Changes include a new grille, headlamps and bumper, as well as full body-colored front and rear bumper and color-keyed side moldings. An "EcoMinder" fuel economy indictor light is made standard on all automatics, while Bluetooth, cruise control and integrated side mirror turn signals join the options list.
The 2009 Kia Rio5 gains a new radio with an MP3 compatible CD player, USB port and a three-month free subscription to SIRIUS Satellite Radio.
The Rio5 gains a new trim: The LX. Also new is a standard auxiliary audio input jack.
Although it romps on the roads with more established subcompacts such as the Ford Fiesta, Honda Fit and Chevy Sonic, the Kia Rio sedan and its 5-door friend, the Rio 5, outmaneuver them all with an unbeatable combination of price, features, power, fuel economy and warranty. One look at the Rio tells the viewer this is no Toyota Yaris. Looking more like a mini Sportage or Optima, the Rio is stylish both inside and out, plus it offers up features usually reserved for more expensive models. Its fuel-efficient 1.6-liter 4-cylinder engine uses gasoline direct-injection technology that helps the Rio to attain excellent fuel economy while delivering class-leading horsepower.

We recently stayed at the Hotel Kursaal in a four-person room with our two young children and were thoroughly impressed. The staff are utterly charming and go out of their way to be helpful and our children were made to feel very welcome, as were we. The room was spacious and spotlessly clean and a great size for a family of four - children slept in bunk beds (cleverly converted from a sofa) with the main bedroom separated by an arch. The food in the restaurant was really delicious and the children could run around happily on the grass outside between courses while we enjoyed a lovely meal. The swimming pool is big and clean and the water slide into the children's pool was a great success. The location by the lake is absolutely stunning and very convenient for trips into the town. All in all, a most enjoyable experience and we will certainly be returning.

Revisited this hotel in September. Just as good as before. Restaurant food even better especially if you like fish and sea food - nicely prepared to order and attractively presented by very helpful pleasant staff. Another very nice holiday with lots of places to visit nearby. Great location!

Hello and good day! I just wanted to take a moment and follow-up from a stay that I had May 26 to May 29, 2012. I was in a rough state of confusion upon arrival and a lovely young lady came to pick me up at the train station (what is her name?). She was very genuine and had amazing customer service skills, I felt very welcome. Also, Bruno was very helpful too since I knew only a couple of phrases in Italian. I came to stay at Kursaal for my friend\'s wedding but I hope to one day return as it was one of the best stays ever. Excellent food, service, lovely people (even the other guests were such fun), amazing location..... Thank you all so much :) Cheers, Jocelyn Russell

Question: Regarding the rear support, how far does it overlap the back edge of the sink? From pics it looks to be maybe a half inch. My faucet is only about a quarter inch from the edge of the sink. I am worried about the rear support hitting the faucet trim plate.
Sink front to back is 16", so I should be good with that dimension.
Rubber feet are a great idea. Rubber liners in the stone support are also a great idea to minimize stone chipping and improve grip. Rubber liners for the front and back sink supports would also be great for Granite or Soapstone sinks (someday hopefully).
Will local pick-up be available? I still need to see your shop someday.
I am in, if only to get back to using stones. I actually don't remember the last time I sharpened completely with stones, but it was definitely before I got the KMG 7 years ago. It is so easy to go from dangerously dull to shaving sharp with 3 belts (220 JFLEX, 400 JFlex and x16 NORAX) and a strop (chrome sometimes followed by diamond).
Sadly, I probably have 4 or 5 stones which have never touched steel. Perhaps the Supremeness can help me with this problem.
Also, I don't want my name engraved; that would be tacky. It should be something cool... I am thinking maybe a dragon, or just a dragon claw. Failing that, perhaps 注意:刀片鋒利!

I took the idea from this recipe but changed a few things. I used a bag of dried Chile Colorado, poached it with the tomatoes and garlic cloves, added about a cup of water and blended it with a chicken boullin instead of tomato boullin. Then I added it to the chopped chuck and let it simmer for 15 minutes, it was AWESOME! I am now going to use this same adjusted recipe for sauce for enchiladas!
This was excellent, it had an outstanding flavor to it and we all enjoyed it, I will certainly cut my meat a little smaller and consider simmering the sauce and meat in a crock pot to let everything simmer in together. I simmered the meat and sauce on low for an hour waiting for my husband to get home for dinner and it was great! This will make it into our dinner meal rotation!
Mrs. Toast
This is a great recipe! I love it. I originally found this recipe because I was looking for beef recipes with less than 300 calories and this was on the list. To cut down on the calories even more...I used olive oil instead of the vegetable oil which is much better for you! Thanks so much!

Waving signs that read "WE DEMAND RESPECT FOR CAMDEN" and "PUBLIC SERVANTS NOT PUBLIC SLAVES," some 75 picketers gathered outside the Camden County Boathouse Tuesday evening to protest a closed-door meeting of several local mayors on the subject of .
Chanting "Sell-out" as each successive attendee arrived, the crowd cheered when a passing car or truck honked in support, and heckled the building through bullhorns for nearly two solid hours. Among those coordinating the opposition were Camden City residents, police and firefighters from throughout the county, and their families.
To a person, they expressed nearly the same concerns—that details of the reorganization plan were a secret; that the whole affair was a back-door union-busting tactic; and that it was merely a first step designed to pave the way for other local police forces to be dissolved in favor of a countywide system.
'It starts in Camden City and spreads outward'
John Gregor, vice-president of the Camden County Fraternal Order of Police (F.O.P.) Lodge 76, said that without some explanation of the mechanics of the reorganization, officers and their families were anxiously drawing their own conclusions.
"The only thing we can base this on is the disbanding of the Woodlynne police department five or six years ago," Gregor said.
When that happened, he said, policing duties for the Woodlynne borough were subcontracted out to Collingswood for a few years. Then, when Woodlynne reformed its own police force in 2010, he said, officers there were re-hired more cheaply because there was no union contract in place.
"The concern is that it starts in Camden City and spreads outward," Gregor said.
Despite Gregor said such guarantees are meaningless.
"Where's his plan to prove it?" Gregor said.
He theorized that the true cost of county policing would reveal itself years later in the form of higher taxes and the withdrawal of state financial aid for towns that don't join the county force.
"It costs every household in Audubon $600 for its own police department," Gregor said, "but in two years they'll be paying outrageous taxes to pay for Camden City."
'We've asked to be a part of the solution'
Joseph Eisenhardt, chief of the Barrington Police Department and third vice-president of the New Jersey State Association of Chiefs of Police, led a contingent of his fellow chiefs to the door of the meeting, but was turned aside. He said he hadn't expected anything different.
A year ago, when the initial rumblings of the metro division plan were first felt, the association withdrew from the process, he said, snubbed by an offer of one seat on its planning board when the group had asked for four. These are the kinds of broad political power plays by which the process has been defined.
Without the expertise of local senior police leadership, Eisenhardt said, any newly formed division is doomed to failure.
"I'll have 31 years on the job [as Barrington chief] at the end of this month," Eisenhardt said. "The last mayor I worked for was 12 when I took this job. If they have a question about the police department, they talk to me."
Eisenhardt pointed out that he and a number of the chiefs that were gathered with him had accrued enough years to simply leave the discussion to the politicians, if they so chose. They didn't, he said, because they believe it would be irresponsible to do so.
"The bulk of us here have our time in," Eisenhardt said. "We could retire and we haven't.
"We've asked to be a part of the solution," he said.
'We do it ourselves or somebody does it for us'
Inside the closed-door meeting, Collingswood Mayor James Maley said there wasn't any greatly detailed discussion about the reorganization, its policing priorities, or tactical deployments. In fact, he said, much of what appeared on the docket had already been discussed publicly.
Maley described the meeting as mostly "informational" for mayors of the inner-ring suburbs; its function was to outline a transitional timetable for the Camden P.D. to the new, countywide metro division.
Maley said that although he understood the concerns of protestors outside, he objected to the notion that any public demonstration would prevent the metro division from being established.
"This is a done deal," he said. "It's time to work out how we do this transition in a way that keeps as many current Camden City officers employed as possible.
"It's time to stop the fight," he said.
Maley said that with the impending passage of state Senate President Stephen Sweeney's (D-3) shared services bill this fall, communities statewide will be led to embrace initiatives like regionalized policing on their own "or it's going to be forced on us."
Better then, he said, for communities to handle these things on their own terms while they still can.
"We do it ourselves or somebody else does it for us," Maley said. "If we do nothing, these changes are coming. They're being ordered from the state."
Two Gloucester Township Council members, and , have said in no uncertain terms that the township would not join the county police force.
Maley also confirmed that the only police chief present at the meeting was Richard Sarlo of Collingswood. Although others had been invited to attend along with their mayors, the executive board of the police chiefs association "had decided months ago to not participate in the process," he said, "and that's a shame."
Maley also said that the brinksmanship tactics employed in the fight are fueling anxieties on both sides. There's no way of knowing how many of the existing Camden City police officers could be re-hired for the metro division, ironically enough, because of a catch-22 union-busting rule.
"My understanding is that there's a federal law that won't allow the county department to hire more than 50 percent of the existing officers unless you strike a deal with the union," Maley said.
Yet the union won't negotiate with the county because it disagrees with the plan in principle—so no deal can yet be struck to carry over more jobs from the current union into the new department.
Along the same lines, Maley says, calls from protestors to put the county policing initiative to a public referendum will go unanswered because the elected officials believe, in principle, that the people already have had their say in voting them into office.
"There are hard decisions that have to be made and hard decisions are typically not unanimous," he said.

Barren Reservoir continues to head toward winter pool. The level stood at 528.4 feet Wednesday morning. I checked in with my fishing support, Bill and Todd Logsdon, and learned that fishing has been really hot early in the week at Barren River Lake. (I heard) A bass fisherman had just left the store after stocking up on crank baits. He had caught and released 25 bass that morning fishing crank baits.
Bill and Todd had tried their luck on crappie that morning and had boated nine at their first stop when the weather ran them off the lake. Todd had just managed to get the boat under cover when that hard rain and hail hit Monday.

Quote: Readers of this review may feel that I've been unduly negative.
Quote:Hi Cathy-At the end of your review you stated: Quote: Readers of this review may feel that I've been unduly negative. Maybe because i'm more that "old hand" you'd mentioned earlier, i didn't find the review to be negative at all... seems to me the primary glitch in the whole deal was the lack of clear instructions.Overall it seemed to me your review was very frank & straight-forward, and as such was a good PSA (public service announcement) to the Dob-buying community.
Quote:And congrats on your recent move- you've managed to land in a very beautiful area of the state! Are there darker skies east of you, out 580 & up Altamont? Where do the local astro-types & clubs go to view, locally? mike b

Love It!!!
By M CAT
from Lafayette, LA
Comments about Perricone MD No Foundation Foundation No. 1:
I don't like make up but tried this and love the way it makes my face look. The color matches perfectly and takes care of the redness I naturally have. It doesn't take much to give great coverage. My only issue is that I have to add it to my moisturizer to apply - gives me a better texture to work with. This is the only make up I have ever used that leaves my skin looking better after I take it off than it did before I put it on! Love it!
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Wonderful color for fair ladies
By Fairlady
from Memphis, Tn.
I have seen this "no foundation foundation" advertised for several months, and finally decided to purchase it, and I am so glad I did.Since I am fair and have light blonde hair, the fair foundation is absolutely the best shade of any foundation I have used,mainly since it does not have any pink in it,which so many fair foundations do have in them. This also feels great on my skin, soft and glowing, look forward to being a "No Foundation Foundation fan for a long time..
By Dogmom
from Fayetteville, AR
This is the most incredible make-up I have ever used! It lasts all day long with no touch-ups! It even still looks good after my work-out. It really looks like you are not wearing make-up. It just looks like you have amazing skin. I have found for me that less is more.

So glad Perricone developed a lighter shade. The other was too dark/yellow for me. I mix both together for now, but PLEASE make this formulation in a larger size!

Love Love Love it!
By boosmom96
from Berkeley, CA
I love this stuff. I've tried almost everything. High end and drug store brand. I've tried BB creams and CC creams. This stuff is better. I'm 51 and very light skinned. I love it. It's all I use and my skin looks great. Mineral products always looked cakey by the end of the day. I don't powder over this and I look fresh and covered at the end of the day. I can think of no cons. I love how well it covers and doesn't cake. The SPF is perfect. I highly recommend it.

The Disembodied Voice of Geico vs. The Teabaggers vs. Geico
So, this appears to be how all this went down…
1. Lance Baxter, the Geico voice-over guy — apparently annoyed with the torrent of racism and homophobia he'd been witnessing from the Teabagger movement — calls D.C. teabagger organization FreedomWorks and leaves a message requesting to know what percentage of them are "mentally retarded" and asking what their plans are for when one of their members goes crazy and kills someone.
2. Instead of responding with either a rough estimate or a game plan, FreedomWorks' Matt Kibbe decides to make Baxter's voice message and telephone number available online.
3. Bazillions of Teabaggers call Baxter.
4. Baxter makes this video, detailing the story thus far, and featuring their messages to him…
5. Geico becomes aware of the kerfuffle and spends approximately 13 seconds deliberating what to do.
6. Geico fires Baxter.
Seems to me as though all involved parties behaved in the mature and classy manners befitting the adults that they are.
Congratulations, people! You did it!

Ha ha, that's actually what I was thinking. Paint it black with red stripes.
No, paint it white with dirt.
Hey dummy, we're not.
It's the idea that as you reduce the letter at the start down the alphabet, the quality of the team reduces too. As we're on the Destructoid forums we would be the D-Team and fail hilariously.
I prefer Hamburger Hill.
Usually people are getting into my van and not the other way about. Getting a brief check up and some DRUGS today, though awaiting going back to London to submit myself to NHS. They did a good job last time.
That means you're due a bad experience with them! ;D
Noooo, that law of the universe can't be valid this time around!
AppearOfflineBear? Just don't catch the superbug.
Ugh the norovirus. Suffered with that two years ago. Thought I was going to shit or vomit myself to death.
Had a good/fun night, but then I'm driving home about an hour ago and my mind just wants me to keep driving. I had this urge to just keep driving north, see where it takes me. Or I told myself I could hop on 94 and head east and get lost in Wisconsin. I just wanted to keep driving and find something.
I went home because "Yo I've got work in the morning and responsibilities" but damn do I get these yearnings to find trouble or make adventure.
Then I get home, shut down the car and recline my seat, just laying there parked in my garage for a few moments. Can't really say why. Then I snap my seat back upright, ask myself "What the hell am I doing? Is this an act, and if so who for?" and head inside.
RL friend is having issues. I mean, he's always had issues, but he seemed to be dealing with them and I'm worried cuz now he doesn't seem to be handling things at all. Not sure how to help, but it kills me to see him essentially giving up because he's too anxious/depressed to do anything anymore.
Thanks for the feedback Dare. I'm doing what I can, but it's hard sometimes. He has started taking some antidepressants and meds for anxiety so at least he's finally doing something. I used to be a lot harder on him about it until I got diagnosed with depression and realized how much I suddenly understood some of what he's feeling. Difference being I could make myself do things if I know I absolutely had to, he doesn't seem able to.
Just gonna keep offering any help he'll accept and hoping for the best at this point. Guess I just need to vent to people who would get what I was talking about.
My experience is that you can only help people who want to be helped. That's not to say that you shouldn't try to help him per se, but rather that you should expect your help to collect dust in his subconscious until some event occurs that makes him realize that things need to change. Everybody has to hit a bottom where they realize that their problems are not beyond the comprehension of other people and that maybe the advice they've been given might actually have some weight.
