Revlon's ColorBurst Lacquer Balm is the company's entry into the stick balm/gloss category (similar to Clinique's famous Chubby Stick), and there's a lot about it that's appealing. First, it doesn't require sharpening, meaning no product is wasted, and it applies smoothly without tugging.
The color quality is rich—it doesn't take much product to get full-coverage results—and it has an attractive glossy finish. It wears well for a few hours, and leaves an attractive stain after the color's faded.
So why the "POOR" rating? Unfortunately, ColorBurst Lacquer Balm contains peppermint oil, a known irritant that can cause problems for your lips (you can smell the minty flavor even when the balm is capped). Not only that, but the minty flavor encourages lip licking, which wears away the color and leads to chapped lips—definitely not a pretty look! It's a shame, because otherwise this is an excellent product, but it's just not possible to overlook the amount of peppermint oil.
It may surprise some of you to know that Revlon has been around since 1932, when the company launched a unique nail polish that used pigments instead of dyes. Lipsticks followed years later, and then a full line of cosmetics, which is how we know Revlon today. Although the company has had its continual share of ups and downs over the years (largely due to out-of-control debt coupled with aggressive spending), the line has recently made numerous improvements, especially in the realms of foundations, powders, eyeshadows, and mascaras. It is quite a feat that Revlon products earned more Paula's Pick ratings per category than any other drugstore line reviewed. If their goal was to close the competitive gap between themselves and L'Oreal, for the most part they have succeeded. Revlon definitely has the edge for foundations with reliable sunscreens. But despite Revlon's attempt to improve their mascara range, L'Oreal remains the clear winner (as well as L'Oreal-owned Maybelline New York).
Revlon's vast selection of makeup is divided into three main brands: Age Defying for the forty-something and older woman concerned about wrinkles, ColorStay for the teen to mid-thirties woman concerned about keeping oily skin in check and making sure her makeup stays put, and PhotoReady for women of all ages. These brands present some outstanding options and include products for all skin types (although the range of skin tones is not as well-represented here as it is by L'Oreal).
An intriguing fact is that the longevity claims for ColorStay are quite accurate: this collection of products really does offer extraordinary staying power. Conversely, Revlon jumped on the works-like-Botox bandwagon with their Age Defying range, going so far as to name their antiwrinkle complex Botafirm. Is there any confusion about what that term is supposed to relate to? Despite the claims, Botafirm won't reduce expression lines or control the muscles that cause them, though the products themselves do have many impressive qualities.
Note:Revlon is categorized as one that tests on animals because their products are sold in China. Although Revlon may not conduct animal testing for their products sold elsewhere, the Chinese government requires imported cosmetics be tested on animals, so foreign companies retailing there must comply. This requirement is why some brand's state that they don't test on animals "unless required by law". Animal rights organizations consider cosmetic companies retailed in China to be brands that test on animals, and so does the Paula's Choice Research Team.
Suffice it to say, Revlon has more commendable products than ever before, and although they rely heavily on celebrity spokespersons, their best products ably speak for themselves.

We're finding out more about the fire that ripped through a Philmont church on Tuesday. State Police have determined the cause of the fire to be accidental, although they are still unsure exactly how the fire started. Our Alexandra Weishaupt has more on how this "church family" plans to move forward.
PHILMONT, N.Y. -- A close-knit church community hopes to now pick up the pieces after their historic church was overcome by a massive fire. The fire broke out at the Second Reformed Church of Claverack on Church Street around 6:30 p.m. Tuesday.
"The damage is extensive. We're going to be able to get inside and salvage records," said John Howe, Columbia County fire coordinator.
Records that date back to the late 1800s along with a stained glass window in the back of the church, which has been admired by so many over the years.
"I can remember it's the first thing you saw when you walked into the church. It's absolutely gorgeous," said Dale Rowe, a Philmont resident.
And many others like Dale share similar memories of the church. The 50 member congregation who refers to themselves as "family" is celebrating 175 years of worship in the historic building, a place Reverend Dan Herrick says is filled with memories.
"There are some emotional attachments to this building - a lot of baptisms, marriages, funerals," said Rev. Herrick, Second Reformed Church of Claverack.
Crews worked into the morning hours to get the fire, believed to have been started in the front of the building, under control. On Wednesday, they worked to determine a cause.
"We're early in the investigation, conducting interviews and we're processing the building," said Howe.
But as the building sits as an empty shell in the center of town, Reverend Dan says the congregation is already considering rebuilding.
"We will have handicapped accessible building, we will have all the things we couldn't because the building was so old," he said.
The Methodist and Episcopalian churches have offered the parish their facility for this coming Sunday. Like investigators said, it will be some time before they are able to determine a cause.

WASHINGTON - A proposed parking plan for the District could mean more residents forced to park on the streets, making it even more difficult for visitors to find parking.
The D.C. Office of Planning recommends eliminating a complicated formula used to calculate the minimum number of parking spaces required at new buildings in the District, and it's drawing concerns.
The office of planning says the formula for parking spots isn't necessary, but critics worry the new rules make D.C. less attractive to visitors from the suburbs.
"People can choose to go to restaurants in Tysons, or choose to go to restaurants in Bethesda. It's not as though they have to come downtown," says Lon Anderson, managing director of public and government affairs at AAA Mid-Atlantic.
Parking minimums are determined using a complex equation that tells developers the minimum amount of spaces that a new building must contain, based on how many occupants there will be.
Anderson says eliminating those requirements altogether will push more D.C. residents to park on the street, which will make it more difficult for visitors from the suburbs to find spaces.
D.C. resident Sue Hemberger agrees, saying it's already hard enough to get her friends from the suburbs to deal with the parking headaches.
"If you want to have a play date with kids on the weekend, you better make sure it doesn't last longer than two hours because everyone will get ticketed," she says.
The office of planning counters that parking minimums are a relic of the past and it must look for a 21st century policy.
"We have Bikeshare, Über, CarToGo, all within the last five years. The landscape for transportation innovation is unlimited," says Office of Planning Director Harriet Tregoning.
When you add ZipCar and Metro, Tregoning points out that parking policies must take into account all different modes of travel into the District.
She adds that eliminating parking minimums will have virtually no short-term effects and wouldn't jeopardize short-term parking for people visiting popular attractions like D.C. museums.
Anderson says D.C. is launching a war on cars. Tregoning calls the claim hyperbole and completely unfounded.

Associated Press Writer
SAN FRANCISCO (AP) -- Medicare paid billions in taxpayer dollars to nursing homes nationwide that were not meeting basic requirements to look after their residents, government investigators have found.
The report, released Thursday by the Department of Health and Human Services' inspector general, said Medicare paid about $5.1 billion for patients to stay in skilled nursing facilities that failed to meet federal quality of care rules in 2009, in some cases resulting in dangerous and neglectful conditions.
One out of every three times patients wound up in nursing homes that year, they landed in facilities that failed to follow basic care standards laid out by the federal agency that administers Medicare, investigators estimated.
The elderly and other patients who need daily help from a nurse or therapist typically are sent to skilled nursing facilities, which can get reimbursed by the government for much of the care they provide.
By law, they need to write up care plans specially tailored for each resident, so doctors, nurses, therapists and all other caregivers are on the same page about how to help residents reach the highest possible levels of physical, mental and psychological well-being.
Not only are residents often going without the crucial help they need, but the government could be spending taxpayer money on facilities that could endanger people's health, the report concluded. The findings come as concerns about health care quality and cost are garnering heightened attention as the Obama administration implements the nation's sweeping health care overhaul.
"These findings raise concerns about what Medicare is paying for," the report said.
The review also drew sharp criticism Thursday from the head of the Senate Special Committee on Aging.
"Spending taxpayers' money on facilities that provide poor care is unacceptable," said the committee's chairman, Sen. Bill Nelson, D-Fla. "The government must do a better job of ensuring Medicare beneficiaries receive the highest quality of care."
Investigators estimate that in one out of five stays, patients' health problems weren't addressed in the care plans, falling far short of government directives. For example, one home made no plans to monitor a patient's use of two anti-psychotic drugs and one depression medication, even though the drugs could have serious side effects.
In other cases, residents got therapy they didn't need, which the report said was in the nursing homes' financial interest because they would be reimbursed at a higher rate by Medicare.
In one example, a patient kept getting physical and occupational therapy even though the care plan said all the health goals had been met, the report said.
The Office of Inspector General's report was based on medical records from 190 patient visits to nursing homes in 42 states that lasted at least three weeks, which investigators said gave them a statistically valid sample of Medicare beneficiaries' experiences in skilled nursing facilities.
That sample represents about 1.1 million patient visits to nursing homes nationwide in 2009, the most recent year for which data was available, according to the review.
Overall, the review raises questions about whether the system is allowing homes to get paid for poor quality services that may be harming residents, investigators said, and recommended that the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services tie payments to homes' abilities to meet basic care requirements. The report also recommended that the agency strengthen its regulations and ramp up its oversight. The review did not name individual homes, nor did it estimate the number of patients who had been mistreated, but instead looked at the overall number of stays in which problems arose.
In response, the agency agreed that it should consider tying Medicare reimbursements to homes' provision of good care. CMS also said in written comments that it is reviewing its own regulations to improve enforcement at the homes.
"Medicare has made significant changes to the way we pay providers thanks to the health care law, to reward better quality care," Medicare spokesman Brian Cook said in a statement to AP. "We are taking steps to make sure these facilities have the resources to improve the quality of their care, and make sure Medicare is paying for the quality of care that beneficiaries are entitled to."
CMS hires state-level agencies to survey the homes and make sure they are complying with federal law, and can require correction plans, deny payment or end a contract with a home if major deficiencies come to light. The agency also said it would follow up on potential enforcement at the homes featured in the report.

The word antioxidant is on the cereal box that I stare at every morning and on pricey juice drinks in the grocery store. Antioxidant supplements are big business in the U.S. with over $65 billion in sales last year.
In animal and laboratory studies, it appears that antioxidants do slow down and even prevent some cancers. In humans, the studies are contradictory and not very encouraging.
Antioxidants are substances that may protect your cells against the effects of free radicals, those molecules that your body makes when it breaks down food or when the body is exposed to cigarette smoke or radiation. Free radicals can damage cells and this may lead to cancer.
In 2012, the Cochrane Review (a group of scientists who don't have a financial interest in the outcomes of the studies they review) concluded, "There is no evidence to support antioxidant supplements to prevent mortality in healthy people or in patients with various diseases. Antioxidant supplements should be considered medical products and undergo evaluation before marketing."
1) Antioxidants are important to human health and should be consumed in a diet with fruits and vegetables that have a variety of colors: from red, orange, and yellow to blue and green. Beans, nuts and whole grains are also good sources of antioxidants. These foods should be a significant portion of your diet.
2) Ignore the marketing hype for prepared food products with added antioxidants and antioxidant supplements.
3) Avoid taking antioxidant supplements! Regular consumption of vitamin E and beta-carotene supplements have been associated with increased deaths.

West 21st is a 3,070 sq ft singly family home with a detached garage built on a 42 ft wide lot surrounded by traditional craftsman style homes. This addition to the neighborhood features clean, modern lines but has a scale and proportion that fit in with the other homes. The owners have a strong love of nature and views so gardens and patios are incorporated into the home to provide an immediate connection with the outdoors. Natural daylight also plays a strong role and is used to define scale and intimacy within the home.
As this was the first LEED Platinum singly family home in Western Canada, a number of sustainable strategies were included. The roofs are covered in plants to reduce heat reflectance and rainwater runoff, while the landscape design makes use of native, drought tolerant plant species and reclaimed stone. Passive solar design, daylighting, high efficiency windows, a high performance heating / cooling system, including heat recovery, energy efficient appliances and daylighting all work in conjunction to reduce energy use. Additionally a solar hot water heating system on the roof provides virtually free domestic hot water. After the home was completed it was selected as a finalist for the 2010 Georgie Awards.

Several years ago, as much as 65% of all cane grown in Brazil was dedicated to ethanol production. As sugar prices exploded towards 30¢ per pound and beyond, profitability shifted towards sugar production. At present only 51% of the crop is being turned into ethanol. That is sure to change.
First, the government is expected to raise the minimum ethanol-to-petroleum ratio from the 20% to 25% range sometime in the new year. More importantly, though, the end of the ethanol-subsidy era in the U.S. and a disastrous U.S. corn crop this past summer have sparked a wave of U.S. imports of Brazilian ethanol.
Several months ago, 2012-13 Brazilian ethanol exports were estimated at 2.2 billion liters, up from 1.9 billion in 2011-12. Roughly 75% of exports are destined for the US, but that ratio is likely to grow. The export estimate is being revised upwards, with some analysts putting the figure at 2.55 billion liters. And there is ample evidence that these estimates are conservative. September exports were 452 million liters, up from 174 million liters a year earlier. In October exports reached 492 millions liters, compared with 247 million liters in October 2011. Expect these developments to tighten up Brazilian ethanol supplies and to accommodate a considerably higher ethanol-to-sugar output ratio.
On Nov. 15 The International Sugar Organization raised its estimate for the 2012-13 global sugar surplus to 6.18 million tonnes, up from a previous forecast of 5.86 million tonnes. While we can't disagree with this forecast under current conditions, we believe that Brazilian sugar supplies – the single most important fundamental for the global sugar market – will not be as plentiful heading into the coming months.
We've struggled with a long position in sugar, which we view as still being a long, drawn out bull market. Maintain the 18.5¢-per-per pound stop, basis the nearest contract, we recommended on Aug. 31.

The deadly stabbing of a young Albany woman during a domestic dispute has many wondering what could have been done to prevent her death. As YNN's Lori Chung reports, while the community mourns, the tragedy is shedding light on a problem that has no easy solutions.
ALBANY, N.Y. -- "We can never bring back the life of this young lady, but we can make it easier for the family," said Willie White.
Sympathy for Tonette Thomas and her family is palpable on Myrtle Avenue, where she was stabbed to death on Monday. A Village Inc. was moved enough to arrange a fundraiser this weekend to help lay her to rest.
"We're going to sell dinners to try to raise some money to help the family out with burial and anything else that they might need," said White, Executive Director.
But the circumstances of the 20-year-old's death are also drawing attention to the dangers of domestic violence.
"It's not an unthinkable situation," said Kathy Magee, who oversees domestic violence services at Equinox in Albany. "And, that's one of the scary things about domestic violence is that this could happen more often."
Family members say Michael Anderson, the man now charged with murder, had been making threats against Tonette's sister, Shaquasia Thomas, after she ended their relationship. They say the sisters were trying to get a restraining order before Anderson allegedly stabbed them and another family member during a fight. Magee says there are far more victims needing help than many realize.
"There are resources for them, [but] are there enough? There are never enough."
A growing memorial is proof of just how much Thomas' death has touched this community, and it also shows that when it comes to domestic violence, it's not just the victims in the relationships that become the casualties.
"An abuser usually focuses on his victim, but depending on what the circumstances are it can spill out to other people, and be very dangerous," said Magee.
And as the two surviving victims recover, advocates hope that others at risk reach out for the help they need and avoid another tragedy.
The fundraiser to help cover funeral costs for Tonette Thomas will be held Saturday at the Reigning Life Family Church in Albany at 11 a.m. Dinners will be sold for $10 a plate. Organizers say they hope to raise at least $1,500 for the family.
Anyone needing information on how to deal with a domestic violence situation can call Equinox. Their hotline can be reached at (518) 432-7865.

Reminds of the time that my Internet box was delivered to my "local" poste. There are 3 postes in 75004. Each denied having the package. The number on my notification slip was indecipherable, even by the French! On my second try to get the package the poste on Île St Louis told me it had been picked up and signed for! I demanded that they actually look in the back for the package. This idea met with great reluctance. Finally a woman at the Hôtel de Ville poste actually took a minute to decode the tracking number and told me the package was at the poste on Cité. The guy there reluctantly went into the back and came out with my package.ReplyDeleteReplies

I Have been following your amusing adventures with the French postal system. When there in 2012, I used the postal office located in the Hotel de Ville, which was across from the apt where I was staying. My friends and I mailed lots of cards and shipped our French finds back home with no problem except for: I wanted to have my own souvenir proof that I had been in Paris, so I mailed a postcard to myself, the front of which was the beautiful Olympia by Edouard Manet in all her bare glory. Do you think I received the card back home? Not a chance. After discussing it with my postman, we decided that either the US Post Office was much too prudish to let it go through or someone along the line coveted the card for themselves. We had a good laugh.ReplyDelete
- Wendy12:30 PM
I loved your story about La Poste. I've been to the post office in Paris, but I force my sister to do all the talking. I ask her to get the stamps that I need, or, if she refuses, when I get to the window, I repeat what she has just said, but change the numbers.ReplyDelete
She speaks the language quite well, having taken several French courses in the last few years.
The last few times that we were in Paris, she bought several children's books, that came with
a CD. When she got home, she spent hours, translating the French into English. It works for her.
When we attended the Biennale des Antiquaires at the Grand Palais, we actually memorized the
French phrases for: "Is that your best price"?, "Will you take_______Euros?" etc…. When we got there,
most of the items had no prices listed, and a lot of it was Jewelry by Chanel, Bulgary, Tiffany's, Harry Winston……
Needless to say, we didn't need to use those phrases!
Have a great weekend.Replies

In a rocky cove near Mendocino, California, divers prepare to descend into the churning waters that have led this inlet to be dubbed "the washing machine." They are in search of the remains of a clipper ship known as The Frolic which made fortunes running drugs between Bombay and China.
The story of The Frolic illuminates the 19th-century version of global connectivity, and the tale of its discovery starts with Tom Layton, an archeologist who found Chinese ceramics at an Indian village he was excavating in the California redwood forests in 1984.
GOLD RUSH DISASTER chronicles every step in the nautical mystery novel that unfolded after Layton's find, tracing the complicated career of the clipper, revealing how the storied opium runner came to grief off the California coast, and finally visiting its battered and broken remains beneath the roiling waters of the California coast.

VIRGINIA BEACH, Va. - Prosecutors plan to seek the death penalty in the fatal shooting of an off-duty Norfolk police officer in Virginia Beach.
Twenty-one-year-old Raymond Perry is charged with capital murder in the October 2010 slaying of 25-year-old Victor Decker.
WVEC-TV ( http://bit.ly/SwuqZ9) reports that prosecutors say they'll pursue the death penalty in Perry's trial.
A Jan. 30 court hearing is set for Jan. 30 to appoint a new lawyer for Perry.
Commonwealth's Attorney Macie Pridgen says Perry's lawyer, Greg Turpin, asked to be removed from the case because he is running for Virginia Beach commonwealth's attorney.
A co-defendant, 24-year-old Kareem Turner, is charged with second-degree murder. He's scheduled to appear at a preliminary hearing in March.
