OUTLANDER 'Episode 8': FRANKLANDER
It's official.
Frank has now become The Man. Numero Uno in the Starz saga that is exploding ovaries and re-heating cold marriage beds all over the world. *but especially in the United States and Canada where, apparently, ovaries are particularly ripe and the beds unusually cold. Or so reactions to the Outlander phenomenon would have us believe.
I am talking about TV Frank, not Book Frank.
I never felt either of the two big PATHYs for Book Frank (SYM nor EM) which made it easier to fall for Jamie, whom I now refer to as 'Fido' (explanation forthcoming). I believe Dr. Gabaldon made Book Frank unappealing on purpose for 2 reasons:
2) Diana didn't know Tobias Menzies would own the show from the moment he opened his mouth and that Voice unlocked myriad psychological chastity belts worldwide
From Day 1, Frank is given to us on a plate of stability and thoughtfulness, with a generous helping of tenderness and romance and garnished with intellectual prowess (yes, it is almost lunchtime, why do you ask?). His sexy confidence and self-assured posture made trench coats the crotchless panties of menswear, and Frank is to sweater-vests what Dolly Parton is to tank tops. No mean feat that one.
He has a ruggedly attractive face that grows more handsome upon each word he utters and by the time he is bouncing on the bed with Claire, you want her to scoot off to the bathroom with an hour long bout of diarrhea so he can sit by the fire and read aloud a love poem by Browning …or the labels off his shirts…anything to keep him speaking. *It was a very wise choice not to have Frank's voice as the narrator of the story thus far, as nobody would have seen their screens with their eyes rolled back in eye-fluttering ecstasy.
In Episode 8, we first see him with his back to us in the police station as he sits rock solid and immovable, a Standing Stone personified, as he demands answers from a detective who just happens to drink my favorite brand of coffee (let's call it Justice Juice).
And he is as unwavering, relentless and dogged as any tax collector after a 2 dollar underpayment. Dissing the entire precinct with his acerbic insults,
he angrily refuses to believe that Claire has run off with another man, and channeling his inner Kevin Costner, he becomes Fist Slams On Desk and almost wastes an entire cup of Justice Juice. He can't seem to make them understand that his wife would never leave him willingly. Personally, I don't know why he just didn't show them the Castle Leoch pictures of his Table Top Tongue Tango with Claire. I mean really, WHAT woman would leave THAT? *I know I am not the only one who noticed that Frank kept his camera on his shoulder when he hit third base face-first that day…
Frank was so magnificently desperate and filled with such exquisite grief that I didn't even care about the screen jump to the Quickie in the Grass with Jamie and Claire and I actually hoped it would live up to the 'quickie' part. The juxtaposition of Frank's suffering and Claire's lusty indifference was painful to watch and instead of feeling excited about some Push Push In The Bush, I felt appalled...the sound of Claire's laughter skipping and bouncing over the sounds of the cracking and crumbling of Frank's broken heart. If she was a man, I would be all over him for cheating on his sweet loving wife who never did him wrong and to whom he seemed devoted...and it IS cheating when you go past Wedding Night Duty to save your skin, into becoming Siamese Twins from the waist down. Me and Aretha know that R.E.S.P.E.C.T. is what you need and Claire is losing mine quickly...
TV Frank has me rooting for him big time and more importantly than Jamie losing his Cherry, Claire lost her Excuse. And it was the Excuse of a loveless marriage to an apathetic 'stranger husband' that made it okay for her to fall for Jamie. But TV Frank deserves a faithful wife. A loving D̶e̶n̶i̶s̶e̶ wife.
I LOVE Book Jamie beyond reason, but TV Jamie is a tough sell against such a massive hunk of good guyness. I don't blame Sam for his portrayal of playful and youthful exuberance as it he was obviously directed to do so, but I couldn't help but think of Jamie as a new puppy (hence the 'Fido') who can't get over how much he loves playing with his new bone (pun intended)....licking (that wasn't kissing) his play toy and copping a 2 second Squeeze N' Suk on some gratuitous boobage. Meh. Quickie can still be hot. McQuickie...not so much.
In comparison to the rhythmic rattling of the chandelier at the Inn and that seductive love fest, the GITAS (Grass In The Ass Scene) just felt wrong. I admit, I am a sucker for a throaty, passionate whisper of lustful sex-talk whilst in the midst of a rollicking great fuck, whatever the speed with which it is being delivered…so the GITAS high school giggling left me colder than the gun barrel pressed on Jamie's face, which, by the way just pissed me off even more because FRANK would have turned around and bitten that barrel in half with his teeth and spit the bullet in the soldier's eye, then he would've shitkicked them both for the interruption. Just sayin'...
This isn't just adoration talking here. The ambush after the bar scene proves that well enough. Two attackers were nothing to Frank. He smoked them like a cheap cigar and even had the presence of mind to NOT snap the neck of the bitch that suckered him into the trap in the first place. I would have saved her the trouble of ever needing fillings, but that's just me. Frank has control, even half drunk, enraged, disillusioned and without his hat.
That BJR gene is well diluted methinks (too bad in this case though).
I also like the fact that Frank went up to the Stones even though he'd never heard of nor believed in that Time Portal fiddle-faddle folklore (which was a major plot flaw my opinion because prior to that, Frank was a veritable encyclopedia of Anything Scotland and could quote everything from the dates of pagan celebrations and obscure 16th Century political minutia, to the measured radius of Bonnie Prince Charlie's anus, but I will let that go for now...). I was hoping the directors would keep straying from the book as they have been doing so expertly thus far, and for a blissful minute there, I thought they had whipped out a biggie and were allowing Frank to see Claire again (that piercing, haunting music gave one real hope for such). The unspeakable hope etched on his face was almost unbearable to witness...
but her being snatched away last second kept things on track and Frank's ruin was complete. I was both crushed for dear Frank and thankful that Tobias had a chance to work his magic and stretch his acting muscles. He was devastatingly devastated.
In the best scene in the series so far and the only one so far that brought me to tears, Frank baying at an invisible moon, his lover's name ripped from his lips at the foot of the Stones that took her, I was left bereft of any feeling except a wish that my husband would run downtown and buy a sweater vest.
And a trench coat.
I like this unexpected twist of my affections. This Unexpected Hero of The Heart (and this unexpected attraction to tweed). Frank was rather an afterthought in the book, a necessary plot device, but in the tv show he is, thankfully, a Force of Nature. Maybe I am just not cougarish enough for Jamie to be the one to light this old fire. He is a fine laddie, but a mere puddle to the tsunami that is Frank Randall.
*How a tsunami and an old fire can possibly amount to anything good is beyond me at the moment, but I am willing to examine this more closely, as always, over a glass of Cape Ruby...

OUTLANDER: Rebuttal To A Wee Coward and Her Sheep
This post is specifically made to address a blog that attacks me and a group I moderate on facebook. It is made by an anonymous blogger (how convenient) who had a friend banned by a group I moderate. She knows nothing about the group but felt qualified to denounce it and she labeled a post I made as 'body shaming'...
Alrighty then.
I will not give it any more attention by sending you to read it, but you will get the gist of its laughable content easily enough. My rebuttal:
That post is all I have to say about this subject and I will NOT get into the game here of replying to old woes and swipes, so comments are moderated (see what I did there?). Don't have the time or energy to debate this all year long. Frankly, now that I have said my peace, I could give a flying fuck about any of it. You had your say, I had mine. Anything more would be redundant, repetitive and really, very boring. We are done. Others may stretch it out but I wont read a word more about it. Those people, like the ones crying on your blog, remind me of this meme I made. So true!
So, I am sure you will carry on and do whatever you do, but I won't be bothered again with your pretend outrage and attention whoring (thank you to another anonymous writer who mentioned that in your blog comments...great line!). You got some blog coverage from it and that should make you happy! I would never do that! *giggle*
And here's a tip Anonymous Tee (honestly... how can anyone with intelligence take you seriously? Embarrassing that a fellow Canadian can be such a coward): the people who share your blog around the net are sheep...obtuse, petty and uneducated sheep that are prone to mob mentality so please, do NOT ever jump off a ladder...the crowd behind you might loose their balance and crush you.
I will not give it any more attention by sending you to read it, but you will get the gist of its laughable content easily enough. My rebuttal:
Hi Anonymous Blogger Tee (sorry I don't know your real name!),
I am the OSFG moderator you have been blogging about and attacking like an angry ex (were we ever married? I am sure I was never married to a chick but you know...the 80's were kinda wild). You have put my name and picture up on a public forum and I have had many people message me saying you are attacking me personally but I disagree. You do not know me and are only repeating things you have heard. How can that be personal? I think it is fine to discuss important issues and where else if not one's own blog? I certainly say what I please on mine!
However, I think you have been misinformed by ex-members who have issues they cannot resolve and therefore are striking out anyway they can. I feel for them as I have been banned (once) too and it can be painful, especially if you are the type of person who does not take rejection well. I take it like a boss...with a glass of vintage wine. I think most of them have Snack Bar issues but that is another story (inside joke...sorry). I have, over the years, joined about 12 groups on FB. I left 4 groups willingly because, one, Outlander United, tried to ban my fun meme...offended a couple of religious folks
and one site, Heughans Heuligans, tried to make me unblock a couple of nasty mods, but that is nothing horrid. Shit happens. I just recently left 2 because the mod on one, April Steele from Catriotnation, allowed a few of her members to tag team abuse me and plan a spam-attack on our forum...to which I had to walk away from. Please note, the other mod, Laura Stewart was lovely and very kind. It is April who is unfair and ruining that great site with her hypocrisy (she says she does not censor anyone, but I should have censored my members who criticized the show and Cait as Claire. I guess her values shift at will). And finally I left a Canadian group that did the same thing...it's moderator Kay'ee Pippin said she 'liked the article for the writing only' (content be damned! Who needs content?) and made the group too uncomfortable for me to stay.
Four walk outs out of a dozen...justified indignation, right? No crime there I would think! Okeedokee.
It IS true, as someone posted that I was banned from my present group once just days after I started: I had posted a thread that continued teasing a flouncer (someone who announce their intent to leave with a flourish!) and someone complained that it wasn't very nice to do so. I apologized and came back to the fold. Today, flouncing is teased at a Black Belt level and EVERY single ex-member who at least had the balls to put their names to their whining on your blog are guilty of doing exactly that...they are truly professionals. Green eyed professionals.

I once was a mod briefly at a large fansite but left after the place got full of teens that were vulgar and just too silly for me. I don't use the C word unless it is for a cookie or cake, thanks. (I am old. We are a modest bunch.) The page creator and I are still buds and the group was never ruined by me and in fact, is almost bigger than our group now!
The 'body shaming' post of which you talk so much (but have never read yourself, right?) was never, EVER, such a thing. It is being touted as one to make it easy to attack me and Alex and so it is an authority issue, NOT a body shaming issue. Making it one gets attention, as we can clearly see, although the attention you get once the TRUTH is out may be not so pleasant?
I have been a mod for 2 months only. We have rules set out by the page creator Alex, and I agree with all of them. Here they are (except for NO SEX while we are PM...it should be understood, okay?) :
Your piece about Claire being 'body shamed' comes from reactions to a thread I posted in our group immediately after the Episode 7 of Outlander on Starz (*I got a flood of complaints saying their negative reviews were being hijacked and they were being bullied by fanatics so I decided to give these people a space to vent). It was a ONE TIME ONLY post. I never did it before, nor since. This is my OP (original post):
IT READS (for those with my crappy eyesight):
"September 21 at 11:02am
This is an opportunity for those, who, like me, did not fully enjoy Episode 7 and want to discuss why. Would like to have an adult, rational discussion and rude or impolite remarks will be deleted. THIS IS NOT A DISCUSSION ON WHY IT WAS LOVED: IT IS FOR OPPOSING VIEWS.
There are lots of threads about how great the wedding episode was, but THIS one is for those of us who were not happy with it...I want to know why and see if it was for the same reasons I have. I will delete comments that do not stay on THIS topic. SCROLL AWAY if you can't read opposing views.Thanks!"
I have enjoyed the series thus far...and really had no complaints...got used to the main actors fast and keep the book and show separate...but this episode was disappointing to me as it was so choppy and disjointed. The first glimpse of the wedding was them kissing and sealing the deal! I spent 10 minutes thinking CRAP! That's it??? THEN they stared flashing back etc ...and I saw that they would fill in the best bits. That initial feeling of OH CRAP stayed with me though and the back and forth flashbacks killed it for me. This is the one episode they should have had it flow like a revealing story...building up to the ceremony and kiss then the sex scenes. It would have had us invested in the tension and emotion better. The way it was, made me not really care by time they made love. Overall, I found the acting stifled and awkward in a poor acting sense, not nervous virgin sense. I felt absolutely no chemistry (but have in other scenes with them) and Claire's unease was too intense...she seemed almost revolted half the time until the very end. YES, Jamie has a fine bum etc...but I needed more than that. But my disappointment will not taint the entire series for me...I love the show for many other reasons and still look forward to a LOT of things. One misstep will not drive me away!"
As you can see, there is NO body shaming requested! There were almost 400 comments on that thread and maybe 5 or so talked about how squished and uncomfortable Cait's breasts were and I agreed. Damn that must have been awful! LOL! (Late addition: found a pic to show you how restricted the girls were) I have the entire post saved but cannot reproduce it here for the security of our members, who have their pics and names exposed. What they say in our group is private...and I respect privacy, unlike others who hide behind their computers. I took it down from the site as I felt it was getting the wrong attention and not conducive to the groups best interests anymore.
Anyway, as I was saying, a few people mentioned Cait's breasts but 99.9% of the comments were about the exact things I mentioned in my OP.
The few that DID complain about her breasts did so for 2 reasons:
1) they looked too pressed and overflowing in her dress and
2) the BOOK Claire had voluptuous breasts and a 'fine fat arse' and TV Claire did not. They felt gypped. Out of those few, one person said something about uneven breasts and a body double should have been used, which is stupid, but stupid is not a crime (if it were, our jails would full of politicians and reality tv stars and anonymous bloggers). They deleted their comments on their own volition. There was only one or two of them! I did not demand they do it because I do feel that if everyone can talk about Sam's bum, they can talk about Caite's chest. If they were members of our group or related to members, I would not have allowed any callous opinion as it is too close to home. Celebrities put their nudity out there and deserve attention in all its myriad forms.
That's it. NONE of this was 'body shaming' post…only opinion. I promised the members they could speak their minds under the umbrella of my authority without being attacked by bullies and I did just that. Yes, I got a few PMs saying I should delete the post but not many because of body shaming (which I disagreed was not happening), but a lot about jealousy over not being able to have mod powers of deleting and controlling ones thread! Those who hijacked the thread were deleted, and they only had to read the OP to see that they would be, and those who were banned got banned for ignoring the warnings they got or for insulting a mod (me). All in the rules. Perhaps 5 people were banned that day (never counted but it is a fair guess). Out of 35,000, that isn't too bad I must say…and those people, many who are complaining on your blog, are simply vindictive and have twisted the truth to suit their own vindictive purposes. How very sad. *Do banned people ever take responsibility for their actions? Nope.
To those who have issues with Alex, I cannot speak to that, but I can say that Alex Garcia is very fair, but like me, is human, and he and I may make mistakes (I know that I have gotten snippy with PM's at times…my patience level HAS been tested! HA!), but he created that page out of a deep love of Outlander and has made it a VERY successful page that grows larger every day, in part because of your blog actually, because frankly, people want to be part of a site where mods stick up for the underdog and where bullies are censored, but censorship is not the Name of the Game.
I sometimes WANT to post this, but am far too professional:
I found it interesting that you and your banned friend are angry over our censoring 'attacks' on members and celebrities (who are paid well for public attention good or bad) but want us to censor opinions about characters and their appeal...and do not ban your readers from attacking me or Alex. Confusing really.
Might I quote one of our members, Kristi Mc, who said:
"The whole 'If you are critical you're just jealous' thing is really high school mentality imo, because people can be critical for a whole myriad of reasons. I'm sure one of those reasons could be envy, but there are plenty of other reasons as well including good ole boring aesthetics, some might find her breast shape and size not aesthetically pleasing.
If it's socially acceptable to comment on a woman's breasts in a positive critical manner, then it should be acceptable to comment on them in a negative critical manner....so I guess the bigger question is, should it be socially acceptable to comment on a womans' breasts at all? I personally don't think it should be- but apparently STARZ and most viewers disagree, or they would not be filmed nude, inviting these conversations."
Exactly. Bravo!
We cannot possibly please 35,000 people but we volunteer (NO pay) to spend a, lot of our day making a safe place for fans to meet about a great series. Not everyone loves me but hey, that is quite alright…my husband, kids and dog love me and I am content. My cat is indifferent but I hear that is normal.
Outlander Series Facebook Group is a FUN, intelligent and highly attended forum where lovers of Outlander can meet, talk about the books or show DROOL over Jamie and hate Black Jack Randall (sorry, I know you dont know the books or show but you SHOULD…you'd love them!!) and everyone is welcome to join us!
That post is all I have to say about this subject and I will NOT get into the game here of replying to old woes and swipes, so comments are moderated (see what I did there?). Don't have the time or energy to debate this all year long. Frankly, now that I have said my peace, I could give a flying fuck about any of it. You had your say, I had mine. Anything more would be redundant, repetitive and really, very boring. We are done. Others may stretch it out but I wont read a word more about it. Those people, like the ones crying on your blog, remind me of this meme I made. So true!
PS- Someone just sent me a ss of a Hope Bennett posting on your blog saying she was banned with no warning. Hmmm, well, I ALWAYS warn before banning someone, which I rarely do anyway as I like to leave it to Alex's discretion. It IS his page. I have 2 pages of pre-written warnings and repeat answers to save my poor fingers…so the 'no warning' claim is just idiotic. A few things will warrant a direct ban with no warning: Ignoring warnings and repeating an offense; name calling; attacking the group or mod and homophobic attacks. EVERY person banned from our group has committed one of these offenses. Period.
*here is an example. Familiar name?
Really? Then what is this?
So, I am sure you will carry on and do whatever you do, but I won't be bothered again with your pretend outrage and attention whoring (thank you to another anonymous writer who mentioned that in your blog comments...great line!). You got some blog coverage from it and that should make you happy! I would never do that! *giggle*
And here's a tip Anonymous Tee (honestly... how can anyone with intelligence take you seriously?

A Scottish Tale: Life Is A Boal of Cherries (Parts 1 & 2)
I met William Wallace last night.
Well…damn close anyway.
Amazingly enough, as Fate would have it, a couple came into my motel last night with an elderly gentleman and I thought they were a family: they weren't. The couple said this man knocked on their door, upset and confused, and lost. He was from a town about 10 hours away and had become confused and disorientated in the fog and dark, and stopped at the first house he saw to ask directions.
They felt kindly towards him and guided him into town and to my motel. *He had actually come to my motel 6 hours earlier but didn't recognize the new signage we had just put up and thought he was lost…and drove around all that time trying to figure out where he was!)
So, however unlikely, here it was, late at night on Sept 17th 2014, and I was talking to a tiny, sweet old man from Scotland who probably knew William Wallace personally (well, he was coming 90 so I MAY be exaggerating slightly). And if I paid close attention, I could actually understand him!
He was spry and so funny and verra opinionated (he will be a happy man today, and that is all I have to say about THAT) and he had the BEST stories. A writer's dream. I could have talked to him all night, but he was rather pooped out from his ordeal so I tricked him into telling me about his family and tucked him off to bed (older people do NOT like to be treated as such and this man obviously cherished his independence, so I didn't want him to become angry that I was checking on him). I then called his son to make sure his dad was okay to still drive etc…and the son was relieved and grateful to know everything was okay. His father left on the spur of the moment and should not have been driving at night.
So it is that I am now sipping my morning coffee and whipped cream out of my Scotland mug and looking out the window, making sure that Scotty (real name Bob) says goodbye and is good to go on his next leg of his journey. He had mentioned briefly that he just may stay another night…and I sure hope he does.
I have a few stories to squeeze out of him yet…
I Met William Wallace: Part 2
He was just lining up his pills and was heading out for his morning routine of breakfast at a restaurant and then Tim Horton's for a coffee and strudel. With a wistful gaze, he mentioned that his wife was usually part of the routine…and taking my cue, because I know my place in life, I asked him if he wanted some company. His eyes lit up and off we went. I drove, but not before my husband Peter told him he'd better have me home by 11.
He spoke of finding German soldiers who would have been shot dead without a second thought had the Americans or Russians found them, but who he let go with a few rounds shot in the air because "Ye dinna wont ta shoot thim if ye didna hafta!", and how a Captain in full regalia, along with his 2000 men surrendered to him and his 15 men because "They were forced ta fight ye ken…nobody likes ta fight and all them billionaires and their sons sat back and watch the rest of us make their war."
He showed me his tattoo, a shadow of an airplane that represented the British Paratroopers braced atop with the word India on one side and 1945 on the other, and a thick blue bar under it all that represent the Rhein River in Germany (where my husband was born, oddly enough). He had been stationed in many countries and they were probably beautiful he said, but he hadn't seen them as a tourist and they didn't eat well, so that 'taints yer view of things'.
Scotty was the best show it town.
We scooted off to Tims where we enjoyed our strudel and coffees and he told me how he moved to Canada in 1957 and found out one of his neighbors was a German named Fritz. When they met, the man asked Scotty if he was in the war and after saying he was, the man said "I think you shot me down!", to which Scotty replied, "Looks ta me like I missed!" They became very dear, lifelong friends.
He arrived in our manager's suite and was verra pleased to see that we had bought some 'real' beer: Guinness Draught from Dublin. Scotty came in at 7 and didn't stop telling stories until 11, when I reluctantly told him that I had to close up shop and call it a night. I could tell you most of them but I will only repeat a few briefly as they are good examples of how the night went:
The HMS Colossus 1945
The drudgery was lightened by a noon hour soccer match on the pier. That helped a lot he said, because every day someone died there…either from falling off a plank, getting a rivet drilled in the head or eye, or burning to death from an oxygen leak near a torch… like his assistant. He had heard a scream and a thump and there was 'not much more thanna couple'a feet lefta poor Willy'.
We drank our beers and he showed us pictures he had with him of The Boys having a cold beer in a pub in Palestine, he recalls with a grin (Scotty is seated first), but the back reads 'June 1oth 1947 Italia'. I don't correct him;
one of his lifelong neighbor and pal: (ink on back said: Captured in Palistine, German sailor; Afrika 28/9/47. "In remembrance of your friend Fritz");
and one of himself when he enlisted at 18. The inked inscription on its back reads: Singapore, 7th Parachute Battalion 6th Airborne Div LOST HALF BATTALION
Such a happy and innocent face, but the penned notation brought tears to my eye. But I hid it. I didn't want to spoil his fun: pictures of his RCMP son, Robert Jr. of whom he is exceedingly proud; great granddaughters with familiar twinkly eyes; his 'good lass' wife and many shots of wartime prisoners and his mates. As a photographer, this was the icing on a beautiful cake for me. He allowed me to copy them and gave permission to share a few with you (above). Here is my favorite that I took: Scotty and my husband Peter looking at the photos:
Peter walked Scotty to his room after fond goodnights, and as he left, I heard him tell my husband as they melted into the night "I like ta walk, but in the British Airborne, we had ta make 124 steps per minute…"
We said our farewells and got a fierce hug the next morning, and after another joke or two, off went our sweet Scottish Scotty (real name Bob) Boal, Canucks flag whipping in the wind over his hood, and I couldn't wait to come and share him with you all and make his words as immortal as I hoped he would somehow magically prove to be. He deserves to be remembered as a hero.

Signing a deal with YMCMB would be a big break for anyone; when you manage to ink that contract before turning 20, like Booth newcomer Caskey, "good fortune" hardly begins to describe it. But don't get it twisted—the road that led up to the Orlando repper's current position of power was long, difficult and rife with struggle. On The Truth, a mixtape inclusion that predates his label deal, the artist spits about the emotional pain of growing up without a father, and the stress of pursuing his artistic ambitions while financially supporting his family. A sampled Rashid Hadee beat originally featured on Little Brother's Dreams backs his autobiographical verses, before dropping away for an extended a cappella outro. Official visuals come courtesy of Legit Looks. Fans can find this poignant jam on Caskey's Homegrown Vol. 1 street album, digitally released back in spring of 2011.

main index
"That's strange... This world feels empty without a creature of utter darkness and evil. It's a good thing I'm here — to conquer it!"The mindset is this: you see a world without fear, without anger, hate, or war. And then you go and conquer that world, because they'd never expect it. So, the Big Bad is done for. Maybe they Never Found the Body, or maybe s/he's finally been Killed Off for Real. But for some reason, the series of events hasn't ended yet. The Evil Power Vacuum occurs when a Big Bad is, at long last, seemingly taken down by the good guys or an outside group. The result is usually a sort of "power scramble" amongst the good guys, the bad guys, and every allegiance in between, as each group tries to come out on top. Tyrant Takes the Helm is when a revolution or a coup dethrones an old evil leader, only for a new- possibly worse- evil to take its place. This is sometimes the result of Nice Job Breaking It, Hero, especially if the chaos following the Big Bad's fall is worse than anything he ever did.

Remember Me
The Republican lawsuit targets reinsurance that helps insurance companies provide universal coverage without accounting for pre-existing conditions.
LOS ANGELES, Jan. 28 -- The California Department of Insurance issued the following news release:
The California Department of Insurance (CDI) announced today that eight suspects were arrested on felony charges alleging fraudulent insurance claims, allegedly staging two automobile accidents and fraudulent vehicle vandalism. If convicted on all charges, the suspects face up to five years in prison and fines up to $50,000 each.
The suspects, Suren Grigorian, 45; Aida Akopian, 36; Seda Markarian, 62; Mamikon Hakobyan, 74; Masis Galstan, 49; Rosa Galstyan, 42; Roza Issayan, 41; and Setik Patatanian, 49, are all from the Burbank/Glendale area.
According to CDI investigators, the department received a tip from an informant in December 2010 alleging that Grigorian filed a fraudulent insurance claim stemming from his report of vandalism to a 2007 Mercedes sedan parked in the garage of his Burbank residence. The informant alleged that Grigorian was responsible for damaging the vehicle. The insurer paid approximately $20,000 to settle the damages claim.
Further investigation into the alleged fraud revealed the suspects, all family members and close associates of Grigorian, were also allegedly involved in two suspected staged collisions in 2008. In that case, multiple insurers paid out over $62,000 to settle damage claims.
The cases against all eight are being prosecuted by the Los Angeles County District Attorney's Auto Insurance Fraud Division.

I got a sample of this in the Fair Magazine. I loved the feel of it and the look when applied with a beauty blender, however the one given 200 Soft Beige is really too dark for my skin, it makes me look to dark, orange. I'm lighter than Mac NW15 so I'll probably try to purchase it in a lighter shade. The coverage seems really good and I liked the dewy look, even if it wasn't the good color for me.
I'm also slightly worried about the glitters that everyone is talking about. We'll see. I'll update this review if I buy it in another shade.
I bought this foundation after hearing good reviews on YouTube and I really wanted a dewy finish foundation for my dry skin. I was really impressed with the consistency! It's easy to apply and goes on smooth like a serum. People have been commenting about shimmer particles in it, but I didn't even notice until reading that. They don't show at all on the skin. I find this foundation to be completely matte actually. So it's 'dewy' claims are confusing. However I still like the matte look as well, so I wasn't bothered. My dry skin looked good with the consistency, so that's the main thing for me.
As for the colour range, it isn't great. I bought 100 Ivory and it looks a bit dark for my skin, and a little too yellow. There is a 103 True Ivory, but it looked much too pink and slightly darker. (There were no testers though, so that didn't help!).
Overall, I really liked it though. I would repurchase, although I'd be thrilled if they expanded their colour range too!
This liquid foundation is great. Costs only about £8, and does a pretty good job. It has a good coverage, the name 'wake me up' really matches it, as it very much does, wake up your skin and give you a glowing look. This foundation has little bits of shimmer in it which can be seen in light. It doesn't leave your skin matte, it gives a real dewy finish. It applies very nicely with the brushes that I use (RealTechniques stippling brush, or the ModelsOwn liquid foundation brush) and blends very easily. I would fully recommend this product.
More reviews by takingbackjenny
I really like this product. It's lovely and light, gives good coverage and blends really easily. I've never been one for applying liquid foundation but this one is super easy to put on, even with your hands, which is what I usually use.
My only complaint is that the shade range isn't great, which I know has a lot of comments. I've struggled finding one that suits me, but when I find it, I'll be happy with it. Ivory is slightly too pale but the shade up is slightly too dark, so I tend to mix them together to make each bottle last longer.
Another thing a lot of people mention is the fact it looks glittery, but it doesn't at all on my skin. It brightens my complexion and does exactly what is days on the tin (or glass bottle in this case, which I love! The packaging is really wonderful), it makes you look more awake.
Overall, this is probably the best drugstore/highstreet foundation I've tried, and I recommended it to all my friends who love it too. Definitely a must have.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
This is a great foundation for the price (I paid around 8 pounds/12 dollars).
- Beautiful, natural medium coverage, which can be built up and sheered out.
- The texture is nice and light, and really easy to apply. I stipple it on with a wet ELF flat powder brush, which gives an amazing airbrushed look, but it can also be applied with hands. Sometimes I mix a little bit of moisturizer in, which works fine too, as I prefer light coverage most of the time.
- I like that it comes with a pump and a glass bottle.
- Does not glide off within a couple of hours - has a good, but not brilliant, lasting power.
- Inexpensive and easily available.
- I dislike the glitter in it. It is not noticable, and usually I am all about a dewy finish. But in certain light, I can see glitter particles on my face, which I REALLY dislike, as I have pretty good skin and don't want it to look makeup-y. I can see it when I e.g. stand in an elevator. It really bugs me that they put glitter in it, otherwise it would have such an amazing, natural-looking finish that is comparable to high-end foundations.
- The colour is a tiny, tiny bit off. I am an NC20 (maybe a little lighter now in the winter), and it is that half shade too dark/orangey to me. When blended it is not noticable at all, so it's not a dealbreaker to me.
- Transfers easily. When I sit during boring lectures with my hand on y chin or cheek, and look at my hand afterwards, it's glittery and slightly coloured. I have dry skin, so I usually don't powder, maybe that's why.
The pros certainly outweigh the cons, especially because it's a highstreet foundation. All in all, I really like this foundation!
EDIT: If you sit next to someone, that person is able to see the glitter on your face. I would only recommend this product for wearing indoors, during winter or by night, The glitter shows through in harsh sunlight (if you think it doesn't - hold a mirror when standing in direct sunlight, you will see). Too bad, it makes the foundation look so unnatural and like you have glitter all over your face.

This is a good drugstore foundation, but comes in a very limited shade range. The lightest shade (100 Ivory) is too dark for my skin (I'm a perfect match to the lightest Bourjois foundations). But it smells fie, has a nice bottle, and would definitely be in my regular rota except it's too dark! I'll hang onto it for the summer, see if it's a better match then.
For people in the US looking to buy it, ASOS ships for free and sells it and the concealer for ~$15US. It's also sold in Canadian drugstores for ~$10-12 if that's an easy trip :)

I bought this foundation after being disapointed with Maybeline age rewind. I have been struggling to find a foundation since my skin started to show the first few signs of aging. I was using Rimmels 25 hour finish foundation and it was my favorite foundation but it really accentuated my new fine lines around my eyes Im turning 40 in a couple months). Very happy with this foundation, Great coverage, nice colors, True Ivory is great for my fair skin. Dosent feel greasy or dry, just right. Rimmel did a great job with this foundation.
More reviews by winnieisapoohwitch
So I've been using this foundation for a while now, and I am a huge fan the semi-dewy finish. My skin is quite oily with a bit of hormonal acne, and this foundation does a good job of making me look dewy and not oily as I find there is often a thin line between the two. However, there are a few downsides to this foundation. Firstly, the colour match for me is not good. The foundation does not come in many shades and all the shades carry a strong pink undertone, definitely not suited to my asian skin with yellow undertones. I chose natural beige 400 which is too dark for me however it does give me a lovely sunkissed look, except I look slightly pink too. I avoid looking too pink by only applying 3/4 of a pump, as I find as soon as I start building it up, the pink really becomes noticeable. Secondly, I find this foundation rubs off easily, so touching my face when I have this foundation is a nono. Overall, amazing foundation if you happen to be matched to one of the not-so-many shades rimmel offers with this foundation!
Can anyone tell me if they've seen this foundation in Michigan? I've searched every drugstore CVS/RiteAid/Walgreens/Walmart/Kmart and can't find it! :(
I've checked ebay and it's only sold Internationally.
But I see that select Walmarts carry the Wake Me Up concealer. Weird!
(I even emailed Rimmel and I'm waiting on a response)
I am fairly obsessed with Youtube beauty videos. After Tanya Burr went on and on about Rimmel's Wake me Up foundation, I searched for a british retailer who would ship to me. Feelunique had the color I wanted, so I confidently placed my order...ignoring the Vitalumiere I had in my Chanel.com cart. My expectations were for a foundation that would offer sheer, dewey coverage. First things first. The packaging is great with a lovely pump. 100 Ivory is nice and seems to match my skin nicely. The scent is pleasant and the texture/consistency is light, almost fluffy. There is also a slickness which allows for decent slip while applying. My hopes, while not completely dashed..were slightly nicked. I have absolutely no idea what dewey means to Tanya Burr...or the advertising execs at Rimmel, but Wake me Up left me as matt as every other foundation I have ever worn! I don't know how Awake I looked after application, but matt doesn't suggest youth or vitality!! I don't hate it. It does cover nicely, medium I would say. It doesn't accentuate dryness, but dry patches did poke through (areas that didn't look dry before application). I did have significant creasing under my eyes, which I never have. It didn't feel bad on my skin and I haven't broken out from use. Here's the funniest part.the next day I used 1/2 pump of the foundation and THREE pumps of Clinique's Uplighter and STILL had a completely matt face!!! Sigh...I am on a quest for dewey, plump looking skin. Perhpas the summer will bring more life into this foundation for me. I will continue to use, but it does not live up to its claim for me!
