Clean & Clear Morning Burst Fruit Infusions Facial Cleanser Reviews
life changing!
i have very dry, acne prone skin. for the longest time i was using toner to treat my acne, but that just dried out my skin and my skin would overproduce oil to compensate for the drying effect of toner. i thought that i needed toner to dry out my pimples, but it was backfiring on me. then, i read an article that explained the error of my ways and i realized i needed to start moisturizing my skin i...read morenstead. i stumbled upon this cleanser at ULTA and i bought it on a whim because of the pretty packaging, the cheap price, and the fact that it was a hydrating cleanser. i ended up buying the yellow bottle, which is the hydrating one. the formula is very creamy and it smells deliciously fruity! it has soothing moisturizing ingredients like pineapple, strawberry, coconut, and acai (maybe that's why it smells so yummy!). you can find the occasional strawberry seed in it, so it won't scratch your skin or be super exfoliating. i noticed a HUGE difference in my skin within a few days of using it. my skin used to always feel squeaky and rubbery after i washed my face, but with this, it just felt...normal! my skin feels clean and hydrated when i use this cleanser. i am simply in love with it! also, my skin has cleared up tremendously. my acne diminished because my skin is hydrated and not super dried out. and for the price, you get SO much product. the packaging is awesome. the pump makes it easy to dispense and gauge how much you need. also, you get 9 fl oz, that's more than most cleansers! i've had it already for 6 months and i'm only about halfway done with the bottle. so, if you're not allergic to the fruits in the ingredients and you have dry skin, this is a definite must have! i don't see myself changing cleansers for a long while. — 2 years, 1 month agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 46 of 49 people said helpful
Not bad!
After reading reviews, I had very high expectations for this product. I purchased it at ULTA for around $6, which isn't bad considering how much product you get! I got home, took my makeup off with a wipe, and cleansed. This product cleanses your skin beautifully, leaving it soft & smooth, and smelling great! By the way, I purchased the Hydrating kind (yellow bottle). It does not dry out your skin...read more, or leave it oily feeling. It brightens your complexion a bit, and leaves it healthy looking. However, it doesn't help with my acne like I need it to. Overall, I would reccomend this product to someone with mild acne, who is looking for a good overall cleanser.

I absolutely adore this product. Every time I went to the store, I would see this morning burst fruit infusions face wash and even saw the commercial but never bought it because I was just too skeptical about this product. Finally I got it as an Xmas gift and had to try it out. As I was washing my face with it, I felt a tingly, cool, refreshing feeling. Even after washing it off, I still felt supe...read morer refreshed, as this face wash left a subtle glow to my skin. It is an amazing product and I highly recommend this to anyone!

I love the way it smells, tropical. I also love the gel and creamy feel of this. It leaves my skin feelim refreshed and super smooth. I dont have normal dry skin that is not oily.

Heathly skin!
I purchased the hydrating pinneaple kind;and I admit I thought it would be drying. However, its far from drying. Its literally perfect! The smell is heavenly, the formula is amazing (strawberry seeds!), and it really cleans my pores. I haven't broke out once! But I have skipped facial lotion because its very moisturizing. — 2 years agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 16 of 18 people said helpful
I'm normally allergic to most cleansers, so it was refreshing to find one that didn't irritate my skin. I picked this cleanser on a whim because of it's pretty packaging and the amazing smell!! I use the product every second day in the shower and occasionally when removing my makeup. My skin feels so refreshed and clean after, I also find I don't have to gop on the lotion after.

As Mat said, Bridgman is definitely helping! You'll definitely improve quickly if you stick with him.
Some nice things going on in this update - I think I like the piece with the bird best. (Nice reflections on the eye, good detail in the direction of the feathers.)
Keep it up!
Trigger, sorry I havn't been around much. Moved house an all. Anyway, yes, as others have said keep practicing those ellipses. It is no easy feat, but will really pay off. I find them easier to do by drawing a square in the right perspective, divide into quarters and draw the ellipse within that square. Keep up with those cups and any cylinderical objects, they will help immensely with your ellipses.
Good work!! Keep chugging it out!
Damien levs:thanks for the advice on the cups I tried thta out and I think its making them look a lot more 3d now.
Just dumping some more work in here.
Yes they are looking a lot better...now just keep practicing and work on some perspective! Another very fundamental aspect among many others. I'm back online in our new home so I will be picking up activity again.
I think what would help you a bunch with your feet is to try drawing the skeleton under the feet first. It might help to understand the bones under them before diving into the smaller parts like the toes and things.
On a completely opposite note, that shoe is looking great and the ellipses on the turned over cups as well. Your improving! Just keep on it.

The CRIMSON DAGGERS
Bridgman definitely seems to be helping you. Nice studies!
Keep practicing those ellipses! (They're a great warm up practice in addition to helping you get better control over your pencil - make sure you're trying to draw them with your whole arm and not just from your wrist, you'll get a much nicer flow doing them that way.)
Love the detail on the sneaker.
Keep it up!
Sorry for not updating in a while the internet problems are back and wrse than ever and ive been having a few sleep problems again and ive just had a bit of an art block in general.
Damien Levs:Yeah I need to start working on perspective again I don't do enough of it.
Mat Kaminski:Good idea i'll try that once the internet gets back to working right.
I think the shoe turned out good too but I think I drew it way too small.
Riley Stark:Trying to stop drawing them using my wrist but my god they look awful XD ill post some of them soon the ones ive psted so far have either been done with my wrist or have been drawn woth my whole arm but ive gone over them a bit using my wrist.
Sorry for how much of a mess these pictures are I didnt notice up till now just how much friggin dog hairs and stuff there is on my scanner.
The second picture I did while visiting an art museum I was really friggin tired that day so I don't think it turned out that good im hoping to go back there in a few weeks or so and il retry draiwng it or I might just draw it from the internet.
The 4th and last drawings are both from the dark/demon's souls artbooks
Ive recently really got back into them games and im gonna try drawing most of the drawings in their artbooks because the art for them games is freaking brilliant.
No worries about the dog hair. (As a cat owner, I understand how that stuff just gets everywhere sometimes.)
Bridgman continues to be looking good. The creature with the robes and the bell is kind of interesting - there's some nice detailing in the fabric. The scorpion creature in the last drawing is interesting, too. (Your control with the pencil is coming along quite nicely.)
Keep up the hard work!
Glad to see you're still at it, keep em coming.
Riley Stark:Thanks really like how the bell creature came out too although I don't like the scorpion one don't think I got some of the creepier aspects of it down right and the shadings a bit too dark.
Okay my internet is fully back up right now and im pretty much out of that drawing block I had so im gonna be back to updating reguarly again.
youre coming along really nicely my friend, that portrait looks nice, except i noticed that you ares till doing the scratchy line thing, remember fluid lines! and use your elbow not your hand to draw, your hand should remain still
quick rule of thumb, do NOT draw each individual teeth, you render teeth by using shading and not line itll look weird otherwise, try looking for some teeth rendering videos on youtube
edit: found a link explaining some of what im talking about its not a how to but itll do http://library.thinkquest.org/C00547...ique/lips.html
Help me improve!
SKETCHBOOK: http://conceptart.org/forums/showthread.php?t=244989
IsaacEs:Thanks I tried that on the next teeth ive drawn and they look alot better still need alot of improvement though.
Just a dump of stuff ive done the last couple of days im also redoing a few of the bridgman drawings ive done so far just to refresh my memory.
i would focus on the simple shapes more. find photo reference like this:
or simple reference objects at your places. cylinders, spheres, cubes, cones, etc. just practice drawing those, studying the form and the shadow. not the most exciting thing to do, but those are the building blocks for everything else you do. when you become comfortable with these, you will draw based on how form works, rather than having guesses at where lines might go.
keep up the hard work mate, you can do it
Ian Barker:Yeah I need to start drawng basic shapes more I think the cubes I do are awful need to start doing perspective again as well.
More stuff!
btw ive also bought sai so now i can get back to doing more tablet drawings again.
Another dump
First digital piece in a while and as usual its crap don't know how to shade properly with it yet and I think I made the cast shadow way to dark, im gonna try finding a few tutorials for sai tommorow.
And I also went to a gallery today.
Gonna do more work in these pens ive got i really like using them.
Another update.
The rectangles I draw are friggin horrible.
Hey!! You are definitely improving! Just keep going! Draw from life, life, life!! Like Ian Barker said. Concentrate on simple shapes, and spend some time on getting them right. Keep going, you're getting there!
Damien Levs: Funny thing actually I was gonna do a still life today got it all set up and everything put my lamp on and the bulb blew up
Pretty big update mostly just because ive been drawing alot of shapes
some of them were done using my wrist and others with my whole arm.
A crappy skull study
And this, think its one of my better portraits although I fucked up the mouth and eyes badly, I also drew the skull under this one and built it up that way.
Should be updating again later tonight depending on how much I get done.
keep up studying anatomy and drawing a loooooot ! it's def the best way to get rapidly where you want to be ! Cheers !
Quick Update
First time ive ever tried using oil pastels and I didnt have a clue on how to use them I might try and set a day aside to learn how to use them better.
You are relentless.... I like it!
Eugie:Thanks im really trying to update alot more frequently at the moment although I always say that.
Didnt get much time to draw yesterday so this is all I really got done.
Yeah pretty much what im suffering from XD
Playing way too much minecraft and not enough drawing.
Ellipses drawings I really need to start measuring the lines better with these although I think theyre looking 3d theyre not really looking anything like the cups im drawing.
Still lifes done outside second one is awful
And some hand draiwngs done with my whole arm
I love your enthusiasm to hit the hands early, most people are afraid to tackle that problem till it's too late. I just wanted to let you know that I found it really helpful to focus on form first, which is basically what Bridgman talks about in the first few chapters. Try and take your time on these studies, one drawing can teach you a thousand things. Anyhow, keep em coming.
Eugie:Yeah im trying to focus alot more on form at the moment im hoping that its showing.
Regular stuff was hoping to do a bit of traditional painting today but i got caught up doing something else.
Some hands
And I tried drawing one of them from memory
And finally another digital skull study
digital drawing is definitiely getting easier it was hellish at first I had no clue what I was doing XD.
Your hands are showing improvement pretty much from post to post.
I'm liking the amount of stuff you post. You just pretty much go and go and go.
Just honestly, keep doing what you're doing, when you look back in even a page, you'll begin to see improvement pretty quickly!

Mat Kaminski:Thanks btw where you been lately havent seen you and the other ssg group around in a while.
Few Gestures done in 30 secs did them using my whole arm
Made the fingers way to short on the left hand
Skull study dont think this is as good as my last one
I haven't been here in a while and wanted to check on you.
Your commitment is really inspiring Lots of studies. All that work will definitely pay off.
How do you keep yourself motivated to do all those studies?
I don't know if you're aware,
but I think your ellipses are too square.
I really like those Bridgman studies though.
The form is good and the lines flow.
Apply what you learned about line weight.
Keep working and you'll be great!

You've heard the phrase "working like a dog," but in this situation, it's working with a dog. YNN's Vince Gallagher explains.
SARATOGA SPRINGS, N.Y. -- At Fingerpaint Marketing in Saratoga Springs, it looks like another typical office, which it is, but take a closer look and you'll find dogs
"I have my dogs here pretty regularly. As you can see, we have dog things around the office," Stephanie Brown said.
"We've always been allowed to bring our dogs in as long as they're well-behaved, which I'm lucky Jaxson is," said Erica Dingeman.
Whether it's chasing a ball or just sharing some quality time with others, Jaxson and Charlie are a welcome addition to this team, which, by the way, is consistent with a recent study. According to the latest research from the Virginia Commonwealth University, bringing your dogs to work can lower stress and increase employee satisfaction.
Dingeman said, "Sometimes there will be a little bit of a hectic conversation going on and the dogs will run and it kind of relieves a little bit of the tension."
Other studies have also shown positive results with people and pets. For example, when visiting hospitals and nursing homes, animals have had a beneficial effect on patient recovery. So, it makes sense that this canine companionship works here as well.
"Your dog is your best friend, so having them with you all day through the most stressful parts of your day is always helpful and beneficial to your wellbeing," Dingeman said
Brown said, "What pets do is they bring an element of humanity into the place is indescribable and really valuable to a lot of us who love those dogs."
While many businesses have their own pet policies, other major companies, such as Amazon and Google, are also starting to lean towards this work buddy trend.
"It's a unique perk for an organization," Brown said. "It's a unique perk for an employee to be able to bring your pups to work and I think it creates a different work environment."
To become a co-worker's best friend.

Comments about RSQ NEO-22 Recording Karaoke Player:
Best one I've seen for the price.
Good on-screen EQ. Unlike my last multiformat deck, EQ does not turn back to flat after switching cd. Wish the on-board display would update with remote control track numbers. Also, the mic volumes have about a 10% window (from 1-2 out of 10) where the mics are either dead or way over-driven.
Comments about RSQ NEO-22 Recording Karaoke Player:
Pretty good- plastic tray for cd's seems a bit dubious-hope it lasts a long time.
Unlike my other players a whole cdg doesn't play continuously you need to hit next each time or enter an input number- a bit annoying.
all connections fit well
good to be able to transfer files to a computer and organise files-finding the bulk rename utility hard to work out-will persevere with it
Comments about RSQ NEO-22 Recording Karaoke Player:
RSQ is usually a quality brand I have used and trusted for years. This unit does not compare to anything they manufactured around 5 to 10 years ago. It is very lightweight (feels cheap) and the microphone inputs totally pushed into the unit at the starting of a Karaoke gig. It also takes a long time to load a disc and to que up.

This detailed action figure is Mutt Williams from the Indiana Jones movie, Kingdom of the Crystal Skull
This detailed action figure is Mutt Williams from the Indiana Jones movie, Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. Preferring his motorcycle to his classical education, his switchblade to a school uniform, Mutt Williams never much cared for prep school life. But when he makes an enemy of the sinister Irena Spalko, a Russian commando and sword-master, his years of fencing lessons pay off.

The lilt of the Irish brogue permeates your wanderings through this dynamic city that, at its core, feels more like a friendly town. Both banks of the River Liffey, which bisects Dublin's centre, offer a wealth of historical places to visit. Luckily, they are all within comfortable walking distance of each other. Begin your visit at Trinity College, founded in 1592 by Queen Elizabeth, then head up Grafton Street, stopping for a piece of cake and coffee in Bewley's. Wander towards St Stephen's Green and the elegant Georgian townhouses on Merrion Square, with visits to the city's excellent museums and galleries. The pub is still the living room of the people, so don't miss dropping in for a pint of Dublin-brewed Guinness with lunch or when you need convivial resuscitation as you amble through the town. The denizens are welcoming, and in the evenings you may find fellow tipplers playing old Celtic tunes.

Uber expanding in the District
It's been days since Abinet Addissu started cabbing for Uber.
He's been driving a cab 12 years and hopes the service brings him additional customers during his down time.
Addissu has already picked up 10 extra passengers the past two days.
"This is a better alternative to a limousine," he says.
Until now. That's what Uber has offered: A black car service, typically pricier than a cab. But with its new taxi service, Uber looks to compete.
Rachel Holts runs Uber in D.C. She says the taxi service will work the same way. Customers open up the app on their phone, request the traditional Uber service or an Uber cab and pay through a credit card account stored in their phone.
No cash is exchanged. That's another reason Addissu signed up to drive for Uber.
"It a safer way of doing business especially at night," he says.
Addissu also takes comfort in knowing who he is picking up and where.
Uber officials say the company carefully picks out the drivers and the cars because they want to make sure the customer enjoys high quality service.
Jamal Simpson has never used Uber. He usually takes the Metro. But he thinks it's a good concept.
"Hopefully it'll be faster than catching a cab by waving your hand so and a lot more convenient it sounds like," Simpson says.
Uber says hundreds of Uber-ready taxis are out on the streets. Just in time for inauguration.

You can imagine the scenario, you are out in the freezing winter weather, your iPhone rings and you can't answer it; you can if you remove your gloves or use your nose but that is not a great solution. Well GloveTips may have the answer.
GloveTips are small dime sized flexible disks that you mount on your gloves. Each disk has special thread stitched in the center that will interact with capacitive touchscreen devices when you wear your glove.
Yes you can already buy purpose made gloves that you can use with your iPhone. The main difference is that you can use these with your own gloves. The videos after the break show how well GloveTips appear to work and also how they are fitted to your gloves. Not sure how well GloveTips will hold up if your gloves get wet or need washing.
GloveTips are available now at a price $19.99 for a pack of 3. Can you see yourself using this solution? Let us know in the comments.
[GloveTips via Pocket-lint]
I could see myself using it while skiing. Otherwise I'll just take of my glove or answer a call with mh nose.
Wow. That's pretty cool. But, I don't know if i want that material bunched up inside the glove finger. I don't like foreign objects inside my gloves. And it also looks weird on the tip of the glove. Doesn't look natural. I think i might pass on this one.
Recently i discovered that tree sap on a pair of gloves actually allows you to use your iPhone with the glove on a everything (My family runs a christmas tree farm and tree selling business) Thought this was kinda interesting!
Kudos to these guys for making a simple product that works. Most of us could do the same but are too lazy. Lol
These actually seems pretty cool, but since I live in Los Angeles it's never really cold enough that i would have to wear gloves
or you can just buy these Isotoners: http://tinyurl.com/2uh78wj
I just bought the North Face eTip gloves from Nordstrom. Like them so much I got my sis a pair for Christmas! I would be willing to try this as well.
I use my nose very often for this. I have also found that the iPhone 4 will allow you to use the nose better than iPhone 3GS.
I think the solution is an elastic ring you wear around your finger with the glove on. On the top, where the diamond would be, is a black raised object with a rubber substance or like a banana peel. The "ring" can be rotated so that the "diamond" is not stocking up.
I live in Alaska and these would be awesome to have. It really sucks having to take off your glove when it's sub-zero just to answer the phone. And those gloves that have them built in already aren't very good/comfortable.
Had my North Face e-Tips for a year - can't fault them, quite warm, good fit, work well. IN fact I often type much more accurately with them on than with them off. Only bad thing about them is the stupid logos on the fingers, otherwise I'd recommend them to all.
There's these too: http://www.dotsgloves.com
I just ordered a pair, but I haven't received them to verify how well they work yet. Here's to hoping!
what were they thinking?! How many hands and body parts does a person need to answer a phone? Hey, how many California iphone designers does it take to answer a phone in Norway? Answer: 4. One to hold your purse, one to pull your gloves off by their teeth, another to hold your gloves so they don't drop on the ground, and one with warm fingers to touch the screen.
That is really fascinating, You're an overly professional blogger. I have joined your feed and look forward to in search of extra of your great post. Additionally, I have shared your site in my social networks
Excellent weblog here! Also your site loads up very fast! What host are you the use of? Can I get your affiliate hyperlink to your host? I wish my website loaded up as fast as yours lol

Washdown gear reducer choice can improve uptime
Choosing a gear reducer that offers performance and can withstand the harsh chemicals and high-pressure washdown required in a food or beverage plant can be a real challenge.
No plant can afford to have processing lines shut down when inspectors find corrosion or other damage that can result from the cleaning process.
Understanding the advanced features now available in washdown-capable gear reducers will help you select the most durable product.
Housing materials
Most washdown gear products are offered with either a cast iron housing covered with an anti-corrosion coating, or stainless steel housing. Although aluminum is thought to be a noncorroding material, when sprayed with harsh chemicals, the aluminum will quickly corrode and fail.
Overall, a coated cast iron housing is the most cost-effective housing option. The cast iron housing is typically the same as used in the standard product line so costs are low due to high volumes. However, the type of anticorrosion coating, and how it is applied, makes a large difference in product performance at the customer's site.
It's critical you choose a washdown product from a manufacturer that uses a salt-fog chamber to run corrosion tests. The salt-fog chamber is the most consistent method available to compare the performance of different coatings under the same highly corrosive conditions. Trying new coatings at customer sites may lead to a coating that works well under some conditions, but not in others.
The highest performance coating system currently available consists of two coats of epoxy-based paint applied to the cast iron housing. Epoxy paint has superior adhesion, is highly durable, and offers very high corrosion protection to the base material. Although powder-coated products have an attractive high gloss, salt-fog testing has shown that powder coating does not provide the same level of corrosion protection as the two-part epoxy paint system. Some gear reducers include a clear third layer, but it primarily functions to add gloss for visual enhancement.
For optimal corrosion resistance, look for products that use electrodeposition to apply the first coat of epoxy paint to the bare housing. In the electrodeposition process, a multistep cleaning process is used first to ensure that all foreign material is completely removed from the surfaces being coated.
After cleaning, the part is submerged into a large container of epoxy paint. An electric charge is then applied, which attracts the paint particles into the smallest crevices of the part's surfaces. The part is then baked to quickly and fully cure the paint. The resulting paint film is very uniform in thickness, extremely durable, and superior to a primer that is applied via a spray system.
After the gear reducer is assembled, it is then completely covered in another layer of two-part epoxy paint that increases the overall paint film thickness to improve the corrosion resistance. A cast iron housing that has been coated with two layers of epoxy paint, with the primer applied using the electrodeposition process, has a better chance of withstanding the harsh cleaning processes required in the food industry.
However, stainless steel housings provide the ultimate in water and chemical resistance. Since no coating is applied to the housing, the coating cannot be chipped off or inadvertently damaged through the use of very high-pressure water. The downside to the stainless housings is the high cost. Despite the cost, stainless housings should be selected when damage to the paint film cannot be tolerated in a particular food production process.
Whether the housing is cast iron with epoxy coatings or stainless steel, look for a pressure‑relief type of vent if the reducer is vented. A standard open vent, even if equipped with chemicals to absorb moisture, will ultimately allow moisture to enter the reducer, resulting in premature failure.
A gasket or O-ring should also be present between the gear reducer and motor to keep water and moisture out of the cavity between the two products.
To properly lubricate the gear reducer and avoid contaminating food product, lubricants should have NSF H1 (incidental contact) rating. Reducers using NSF H2 (no contact) lubricant offer no advantage and should not be considered an approved product for incidental food contact.
One of the lowest cost components of a gear reducer, which nevertheless serves a critical function, is the shaft seal. Shaft seals in non-washdown gear reducers seal the lubricant in the reducer and keep dirt and other solid contaminants out. In a washdown application, the shaft seal must still keep the lubricant in the reducer, but it must also keep out water and chemicals being used to clean the exterior of the reducer. If the seal allows water into the reducer, the internal components will rust and the lubricant will break down. Ultimately, the gear reducer will prematurely fail from a combination of these two conditions.
A standard lip seal used in a non-washdown application typically has a rubber sealing lip that rides on the rotating shaft surface. There may also be a noncontacting dirt excluder lip that is used to keep large particles away from the sealing lip. The sealing lip is commonly held against the shaft with a small spring around the circumference of the lip. When exposed to high velocity, or high-pressure water and chemicals, the sealing lip will lift off the shaft and allow water and chemicals into the reducer. Even if multiple standard lip seals are stacked side by side, the sealing lips will lift off the shaft and allow water and chemicals to get inside the reducer.
To avoid these issues, look for enhanced shaft sealing systems that consist of specialty seals designed to keep the water and chemicals out. Commonly referred to as harsh duty seals, the seal construction is modified to provide a positive method for keeping the water spray from the sealing lip.
A harsh duty seal consists of two parts: the normal outer case with sealing lip and a separate inner sleeve and flange. The inner sleeve has a rubber coating to seal tightly against the shaft, and an external flange to keep water from getting to the oil sealing lip. Between the flange OD and the oil sealing lip, there are multiple other lips designed to keep water and other contaminants away from the oil sealing lip.
Some gear reducers come with a rubber v‑ring combined with a standard lip seal to cut costs. This combined sealing system does not typically provide the same level of protection as a true harsh duty seal.
Working in combination with harsh duty seals are corrosion-resistant output shafts. Look for output shafts that are either stainless steel or carbon steel plated, with a high-performance coating such as nickel plating. Both types perform well in washdown applications. Sealing out water and chemicals is vital to the life of the gear reducer.
The type of housing, venting, lubrication, and shaft seal are all critical components of a washdown capable gear reducer, and these features should be carefully evaluated before selecting a gear reducer for a food industry application.

Annual Salary Survey
Participate in the 2013 Salary Survey
In a year when manufacturing continued to lead the economic rebound, it makes sense that plant manager bonuses rebounded. Plant Engineering's annual Salary Survey shows both wages and bonuses rose in 2012 after a retreat the year before.
Average salary across all job titles for plant floor management rose 3.5% to $95,446, and bonus compensation jumped to $15,162, a 4.2% increase from the 2010 level and double the 2011 total, which showed a sharp drop in bonus.

Amadeus is a 1984 period drama film directed by Miloš Forman and written by Peter Shaffer. Adapted from Shaffer's stage play Amadeus (1979), the story is a variation of Alexander Pushkin's play Mozart i Salieri (Моцарт и Сальери, 1830), in which the composer Antonio Salieri recognizes the genius of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart but thwarts him out of pride and envy. The story is set in Vienna, Austria, during the latter half of the 18th century.
The film was nominated for 53 awards and received 40, including eight Academy Awards (including Best Picture), four BAFTA Awards, four Golden Globes, and a Directors Guild of America (DGA) award. In 1998, the American Film Institute ranked Amadeus 53rd on its 100 Years... 100 Movies list.
The story begins in 1823 as the elderly Antonio Salieri (F. Murray Abraham) attempts suicide by slitting his throat while loudly begging forgiveness for having killed Mozart (Tom Hulce) in 1791. Placed in a lunatic asylum for the act, Salieri is visited by Father Vogler (Richard Frank), a young priest who seeks to take his confession. Salieri is sullen and uninterested but eventually warms to the priest and launches into a long "confession" about his relationship with Mozart.
Salieri's tale goes on through the night and into the next day. He reminisces about his youth, particularly about his devotion to God and his love for music and how he pledges to God to remain celibate as a sacrifice if he can somehow devote his life to music. He describes how his father's plans for him were to go into commerce, but suggests that the sudden death of his father, who choked to death during a meal, was "a miracle" that allowed him to pursue a career in music. In his narrative, he is suddenly an adult joining the 18th-century cultural elite in Vienna, the "city of musicians". Salieri begins his career as a devout, God-fearing man who believes his success and talent as a composer are God's rewards for his piety. He is content as the respected, financially well-off, court composer for Holy Roman Emperor Joseph II (Jeffrey Jones).
Mozart arrives in Vienna with his patron, Count Hieronymus von Colloredo (Nicholas Kepros), the Prince-Archbishop of Salzburg. Salieri secretly observes Mozart at the Archbishop's palace, but they are not properly introduced. Salieri sees that offstage, Mozart is irreverent and lewd. He also first recognizes the immense talent displayed in the adult works of Mozart. In 1781, when Mozart meets the Emperor, Salieri presents Mozart with a "March of Welcome," which he toiled to create. After hearing the march only once, Mozart plays it from memory, critiques it, and effortlessly improvises a variation, transforming Salieri's "trifle" into the "Non più andrai" march from his 1786 opera The Marriage of Figaro.
Salieri reels at the notion of God speaking through the childish, petulant Mozart: nevertheless, he regards his music as miraculous. Gradually, Salieri's faith is shaken. He believes that God, through Mozart's genius, is cruelly laughing at Salieri's own musical mediocrity. Salieri's struggles with God are intercut with scenes showing Mozart's own trials and tribulations with life in Vienna: pride at the initial reception of his music, anger and disbelief over his subsequent treatment by the Italians of the Emperor's court, happiness with his wife Constanze (Elizabeth Berridge) and his son Karl, and grief at the death of his father Leopold (Roy Dotrice). Mozart becomes more desperate as the family's expenses increase and his commissions decrease. When Salieri learns of Mozart's financial straits, he sees his chance to avenge himself, using "God's Beloved" (the literal meaning of "Amadeus") as the instrument.
Salieri hatches a complex plot to gain ultimate victory over Mozart and God. He disguises himself in a mask and costume similar to one he saw Leopold wear at a party, and commissions Mozart to write a requiem mass, giving him a down payment and the promise of an enormous sum upon completion. Mozart begins to write the piece, the Requiem Mass in D minor, unaware of the true identity of his mysterious patron and oblivious of his murderous intentions. Glossing over any details of how he might commit the murder, Salieri dwells on the anticipation of the admiration of his peers and the court, when they applaud the magnificent Requiem, and he claims to be the music's composer. Only Salieri and God would know the truth—that Mozart wrote his own requiem mass, and that God could only watch while Salieri finally receives the fame and renown that he deserves.
Mozart's financial situation worsens and the composing demands of the Requiem and The Magic Flute drive him to the point of exhaustion as he alternates work between the two pieces. Constanze leaves him and takes their son with her. His health worsens, and he collapses during the premiere performance of The Magic Flute. Salieri takes the stricken Mozart home and convinces him to work on the Requiem. Mozart dictates while Salieri transcribes throughout the night. When Constanze returns in the morning, she tells Salieri to leave. Constanze locks the manuscript away despite Salieri's objections, but as she goes to wake her husband, she finds that Mozart is dead. The Requiem is left unfinished, and Salieri is left powerless as Mozart's body is hauled out of Vienna for burial in a pauper's mass grave.
The film ends as Salieri finishes recounting his story to the visibly shaken young priest. Salieri concludes that God killed Mozart rather than allow Salieri to share in even an ounce of his glory, and that he is consigned to be the "patron saint of mediocrity." Salieri absolves the priest of his own mediocrity and blesses his fellow patients as he is taken away in his wheelchair. The last sound heard before the credits roll is Mozart's high-pitched laughter.

In his autobiography Beginning, Kenneth Branagh says that he was one of the finalists for the role of Mozart, but was dropped from consideration when Forman decided to make the film with an American cast.[1] Hulce reportedly used John McEnroe's mood swings as a source of inspiration for his portrayal of Mozart's unpredictable genius.[2]
Meg Tilly was cast as Mozart's wife Constanze, but she tore a ligament in her leg the day before shooting started.[2] She was replaced by Elizabeth Berridge. Simon Callow, who played Mozart in the original London stage production of Amadeus, was cast as Emanuel Schikaneder, the librettist of The Magic Flute.
The film was shot on location in Prague, Kroměříž and Vienna. Notably, Forman was able to shoot scenes in the Count Nostitz Theatre in Prague, where Don Giovanni and La Clemenza di Tito debuted two centuries before. Several other scenes were shot at the Barrandov Studios.
Forman collaborated with then-early American choreographer, Twyla Tharp.
In 1985, the film was nominated for eleven Academy Awards, including the double nomination for Best Actor with Hulce and Abraham each being nominated for their portrayals of Mozart and Salieri, respectively. The film won eight Oscars, including Best Picture, Best Actor (Abraham), Best Director (Forman), Costume Design (Theodor Pištěk), Adapted Screenplay (Shaffer), Art Direction (Patrizia von Brandenstein), Best Makeup, and Best Sound. The film was nominated for but did not win Oscars for Best Cinematography and Best Editing. Amadeus, The English Patient, The Hurt Locker, and The Artist are the only Best Picture winners to never enter the weekend box office top 5 after rankings began being recorded in 1982.[3][4][5] Amadeus peaked at #6 during its 8th weekend in theaters. Saul Zaentz produced both Amadeus and The English Patient.
The film was nominated for six Golden Globes (Hulce and Abraham were nominated together) and won four, including awards to Forman, Abraham, Shaffer, and Golden Globe Award for Best Picture — Drama. Jeffrey Jones was nominated for Golden Globe for Best Supporting Actor – Motion Picture Drama. Forman also received the Directors Guild of America Award for his work.
At the end of the Oscar ceremony, Laurence Olivier came on stage to present the Oscar for Best Picture. As Olivier thanked the Academy for inviting him, he was already opening the envelope. Instead of announcing the nominees, he simply read, "The winner for this is 'Amadeus'." An AMPAS official quickly went onstage to confirm the winner and signaled that all was well, before Olivier then presented the award to producer Saul Zaentz. Olivier (in his 78th year) had been ill for many years, and it was due to suffering from amnesia that he forgot to read the nominees.[6] Zaentz then thanked Olivier, saying it was an honour to receive the award from him,[7] before mentioning the other nominees in his acceptance speech: The Killing Fields, A Passage to India, Places in the Heart and A Soldier's Story. Maurice Jarre won the Oscar for Best Original Music Score for his scoring of A Passage to India. In his acceptance speech for the award, Jarre remarked "I was lucky Mozart was not eligible this year".[8]
Alternative versions[edit]
Amadeus premiered in 1984 as a PG-rated movie with a running time of 161 minutes. In 2002, director Miloš Forman introduced an R-rated version with nearly 20 minutes of restored footage. This version was released by the studios as a Director's Cut. In the 1995 supplemental material for Pioneer's deluxe LaserDisc, Miloš Forman had justified why those scenes were cut in the first place. However, in a subsequent 2002 interview with The A.V. Club, the director explains why the scenes were eventually restored:
Miloš Forman on what prompted him to release the alternate version:[9]
When you finish a film, before the first paying audience sees it, you don't have any idea. You don't know if you made a success or a flop, when it comes to the box office. And in the '80s, with MTV on the scene, we are having a three-hour film about classical music, with long names and wigs and costumes. Don't forget that no major studio wanted to finance the film, for these reasons. So we said, "Well, we don't want to be pushing the audience's patience too far". Whatever was not directly connected to the plot, I just cut out. But it was a mutual decision [to limit the running time]. I wanted the best life for the film myself... Well, once we are re-releasing it on DVD, it doesn't matter if it is two hours and 40 minutes long, or three hours long. So why don't we do the version as it was written in the script?

The original soundtrack to Amadeus reached #56 on Billboard's album charts, making it one of the most popular recordings of classical music ever. All of the tracks were composed by Mozart, save an early Hungarian folk tune and the final movement Quando Corpus Morietur et Amen by Giovanni Battista Pergolesi, from his famous Stabat Mater.
The film features some music that is not included on the original soundtrack album release. As stated above, except where specified, all tracks were performed by the Academy of St. Martin in the Fields, conducted by Sir Neville Marriner, and all were performed specifically for use in the film. According to the film commentary by Forman and Schaffer, Marriner agreed to score the film if Mozart's music was completely unchanged from Mozart's original scores. Marriner did add some notes to Salieri's music that are noticeable in the beginning of the film, as Salieri begins his confession.
Music featured in the film but not included on the soundtrack album (but included in a later extended version):
- The Magic Flute, overture
- The Magic Flute, Das Klinget so herrlich
- The Magic Flute, Queen of the Night aria Der Hölle Rache performed by June Anderson
- The Magic Flute, Ein Mädchen oder Weibchen... (Papageno), and Pa-pa-gena! ... Pa-pa-geno! (Papageno and Papagena) performed by Brian Kay and Gillian Fisher
- Axur, Re d'Ormus, Son queste le speranze... Salieri's opera shown in the beginning of the film
- Die Entführung aus dem Serail, Martern aller Arten... First opera that Mozart conducts in the film
- Le Nozze Di Figaro, Non più andrai
- Le Nozze Di Figaro, Cinque...dieci...venti...trenta... The scene where Figaro (Samuel Ramey) is measuring a space for his wedding bed
- Don Giovanni, La Ci Darem La Mano appears as a parody sung as "Give me a hoof my darling, and I'll give you my heart"
- Piano Concerto in D minor, K. 466 1st movement
- Harpsichord piece in F major, K. 33B, played when Mozart is a child at the harpsichord (while blindfolded), then on the violin (without blindfold).
- Piano Concerto No.15 in B flat major, K. 450, third movement, played in the Theatrical version when Mozart is walking through Vienna carrying a bottle of champagne, and in the Director's Cut when Mozart is teaching a girl to play the piano and is interrupted by barking dogs.
- The 'improvisation', "in the manner of Johann Sebastian Bach" is based on the Duetto Vivat Bacchus! from Die Entführung aus dem Serail.

Jenni "J-Woww" Farley gave her friends and family a Christmas surprise by revealing she's pregnant.
"Santa brought Roger and I the best gift of all...," Farley tweeted with alink to her announcement. On her website, the Jersey Shore star posted a card that read, "Happy Holidays from our growing family to yours! Love, Jenni, Roger and arriving July, 2014, Baby Mathews" alongside a picture of their sonogram.
Viewers got to see a different side of Nicole "Snooki" Polizzi on this season of Dancing with the Stars. The Jersey Shore alum demonstrated a work ethic and a sharp sense of humor that came as a shock to many viewers and competitors (including Bill Engvall) who were only familiar with her hard-partying MTV persona.
Though her run on Dancing came to an end when she and partner Sasha Farber were unexpectedly sent home on last week's show, Polizzi says she has no regrets. TVGuide.com caught up with the reality star to get her thoughts on her shocking elimination, the judges' feedback, and her new nickname, courtesy of Tom Bergeron.
Perhaps the only person more surprised than Nicole "Snooki" Polizzi when she and partner Sasha Farber were eliminated from Dancing with the Stars last week was Bill Engvall. Engvall and his partner, Emma Slater (who also happens to be Farber's girlfriend) were thisclose to elimination the previous week, but were spared, thanks to a glitch in the voting system that resulted in every couple being safe.

REI's roots as a co-op and our core purpose—to inspire, educate and outfit for a lifetime of adventure and stewardship—are the foundation for our unique workplace. When employees feel connected to our core purpose and make a difference with customers, members and communities every day, they stay engaged in our business and serve our customers and members well.
We measured employee engagement in 2012 in an engagement survey, made available to every employee and completed anonymously. Conducted by an independent firm, the survey tracks key engagement indicators and provides comparison results from our industry peers.
The survey asks for employee feedback on key topics, including commitment, pride and loyalty, satisfaction with REI's benefits package, operational and leadership effectiveness, and communication.
REI has historically had an impressive employee survey participation rate, and 2012's response rate was strong at 82 percent (8,274 employees returned the survey). Overall survey results showed that 86 percent of our employees are engaged. This engagement rate is calculated by looking at the favorability rating in eight key areas that make up our employee engagement index, shown below:
High engagement means that employees say that they are connected to REI values, committed to being involved, motivated to drive success and are planning to stay with the company. These attributes help qualify that employees feel satisfied at work and contributes to other strong indicators, including turnover and retention.
Despite ongoing high employee engagement, we realize that the effects of the challenging economy, changing retail environment and limited job growth also play a role in our strong employee retention. In 2012, REI overall turnover was 29 percent.
REI's annual turnover percentage rate is measured by dividing terminations in a particular year, both voluntary and involuntary, by average headcount across all months of that year. Our 2012 retention rate was 77.1 percent, as compared to 79.4 percent in 2011. Employee retention is calculated using the percentage of new hires from a particular year that are still employed at year-end.
The co-op is focused on scaling our business for continuous growth—something that can't occur without the hard work of our employees. We're committed to supporting our employees by making sure they see how their individual contributions support REI's overall business direction and strategy, by maintaining open lines of communication, by providing valuable compensation and benefits, and by fostering dialogue.
How are we doing? Give us feedback on this page.

Our Seasons not over
Contrary to what you may have read in a recient article of Kiting our flying season is not over till the fall in most of the region. Sure its hot and some days the wind is not blowing as hard as you like but I would feel safe in saying that if you looked around the region you could find a flyer somewhere enjoing being outside with thier kites. I understand that some people live in an area that is hot and windless for a good part of the summer but to put out a news item that we as a region are hiding inside our airconditioned houses due to the lack of wind is a great disservice. Several years ago Roger Horn made an effort to fly his kite every day for an extended period of time. Another example is this weekend a good number of flyers from around the area will be gathering at the only Blue Wave beach in Texas to fly kites for the enjoyment of the families attending the Down Syndrome picnic known as Audreys Day.
This year I was involved in putting Galveston on the list of places that we could hold our convention in 2012. The city would have offered plenty for the family and generally speaking great wind and weather as compared to the chance of snow that showed up on Sunday as we were doing the One Sky One World fly and others were trying to get a flight home. Rodchester was a great convention but the weather cant be compared to what we could have offered. When all of the bids were evaluated Galveston was too pricy for our group and Enid OK was able to make us the offer that we did not refuse.
Contrary to the reports given in Kiting we are a very active bunch and have great flying weather all year long for most of our Region. Next time you take part in an event be sure to drop a note to your regional director to make her aware of it and if you take it a step further write a small article and submit it to Phil for use in Kiting Magazine or John at Kitelife.com. We were the top performers during National Kite Month and we do alot to promote kiting as a family frinedly activity. We need to make sure the rest of the Association gives us credit where its due.

– "You can have tennis courts, but if you want to have a tennis community, you have to have a tennis program," says local tennis guru Mike Theile of the summertime sport that had all but overlooked Telluride – until now. The Telluride area indeed boasts its fair share of tennis courts, but there never was much of a tennis community; that is, until Theile and a small group of local tennis buffs put their heads together in an effort to ramp up the local tennis scene. What they came up with is the Peaks Tennis Program, a local tennis program that offers instruction, tournaments, and now tennis camps headquartered at the Mountain Village tennis courts adjacent to the Peaks Hotel. As Thiele explains, the Mountain Village tennis courts have been around for some time, (they are currently managed by the Peaks Hotel,) but a few local tennis enthusiasts "wanted to have a little more fun with it," he says. "And fun is playing, so we started just by trying to encourage anybody who has ever, or has never, picked up a tennis racket to come out and enjoy the sport with us," he says of the Tennis Program's beginnings. So grew the Peaks Tennis Program, which boasts a summer calendar long on activities and events designed for every level tennis player. There are tournaments, round robins, and private instruction, as well as Sunday morning drop-in doubles matches, Friday night double matches, and even free Tuesday evening employees' clinics open to any area employee, taught by the program's head pro Bill Austin. New to the local tennis scene are this summer's Tennis Camps, which have brought a flurry of activity, and interest, to the Mountain Village's five tennis courts. Thiele and the Peaks Tennis Program brought two groups of visiting players to Telluride for camps last summer, and the response was positive enough that tennis camps have sprung up throughout the summer event calendar this year. There were two camps in June, and there are three camps scheduled for July, with groups of up to 50 players coming from out-of-state to attend. Locals are invited to attend any camp, space permitting, for a cost of $75 per day. According to the Peaks Hotel's Marketing Director Mike Hess, the burgeoning local tennis program has brought more than just interest in the sport. "It's really become a great driver of business," he says, noting that Telluride had never been considered a destination market for tennis players. Yet last year, the Peaks Tennis Program's camps brought nearly 500 room nights to the Peaks Hotel, and is expected to bring more than 1,000 room nights this summer. "People aren't necessarily coming to Telluride specifically for a golf vacation, however people are now coming to Telluride specifically to play tennis," Hess says. For Theile, the local pied piper of Telluride tennis, more people coming to Telluride to play tennis means, simply put, more fun. "Over the years, I've always been called upon to play with visitors who just wanted to go out and play tennis," Theile says. "It's such a nice, social way of meeting people." For more information about the Peaks Tennis program, contact head pro Bill Austin at 602/ 570-8778 or Mike Theile at 970/708-0761.
