The Equalizer – a movie that desperately tries to spin Denzel Washington's role as something wholly new and inventive, yet anyone familiar with one of Hollywood's most established talents will know exactly the kind of performance Washington brings to Robert McCall. In what could essentially be a prequel to Man On Fire, director Antoine Fuqua creates a "different kind of superhero" by remaking a 1980s television series that originally starred Edward Woodward, finding a hero who lets his actions speak louder than words ever could. Denzel is a tight-lipped badass who knows his way around a home improvement store, but The Equalizer sets out to be something more than another action-centric thriller – an achievement that borders success long enough to hold our attention.
While updating the episodic source material, Fuqua does ensure that a subtle 80s vibe is kept in the sense of McCall's Terminator-esque attitude. Denzel goes »

In an underwhelming reunion, director Antoine Fuqua and Denzel Washington currently have The Equalizer in theaters. While Washington puts in a great performances, it's just too much of a retread of what we've seen him do in Man on Fire to be truly captivating, though the climax is pretty damn good. So with that film in the past, Fuqua is figuring out what his next project will be. There's always something cooking for Fuqua, and now THR repots he's been lined up to direct an adaptation of The Short and Tragic Life of Robert Peace, the true story written by Jeff Hobbs about a young African-American man who left the crime-ridden streets of Newark to attend Yale. Sounds like a rather inspiring tale. More below! While at Yale, Peace studied molecular biochemistry and biophysics and excelled at school, but the troubles from his upbringing continued to plague him until it became fatal. »

The Equalizer was an espionage television series that aired for four seasons on CBS from fall 1985 to spring 1989. It starred the late English actor Edward Woodward as Robert McCall, a middle-aged retired intelligence officer with a mysterious past who used his skills to help people who were in trouble. The show took elements from popular spy films and private investigator shows and mixed them with gritty realism and violence. Now there's a new feature film version of The Equalizer, starring Denzel Washington as McCall and helmed by Antoine Fuqua, who directed Washington to his Best Actor Oscar for Training Day (2001). But despite the talent involved, The Equalizer ultimately never rises above being a solid but standard action thriller.
Robert McCall (Denzel Washington) is a man who believes he has put his violent past as a government operative behind him and dedicated himself to beginning a new, quiet life. But »

It was a good run, Liam Neeson. The 62-year-old who was Oskar Schindler and Alfred Kinsey spent the last seven years kicking the crap out of much younger bad guys in bone-crushing B-movies, best epitomized by the Taken films. But as of this past weekend, there's a new sheriff in town. Two-time Oscar winner Denzel Washington, one of the biggest movie stars of the past 25 years, and almost always, the coolest guy in the room, delivered his 12th No. 1 film, The Equalizer. Directed by Antoine Fuqua (Training Day), The Equalizer is a Neeson-ized adaptation of the 1980s CBS detective drama series that starred Edward Woodward. »

The Equalizer, 2014.
Directed by Antoine Fuqua.
Starring Denzel Washington, Chloe Grace Moretz, Marton Csokas, David Meunier, Haley Bennett, Bill Pullman, Melissa Leo, David Harbour, and Robert Wahlberg.
A man believes he has put his mysterious past behind him and has dedicated himself to beginning a new, quiet life. But when he meets a young girl under the control of ultra-violent Russian gangsters, he can't stand idly by – he has to help her.
There's a scene towards the end of The Equalizer where the stakes should be at their highest. The bad guy is about to kill an innocent man and, right on cue, in walks our hero, Denzel Washington. Water pours down from the sprinkler system overhead, he has a nail gun raised and poised to pull the trigger. The entire scene takes place in slow motion, the thunderous and obnoxious score blasts out, and I believe »

Denzel Washington is back on the big screen this week, reuniting with Training Day director Antoine Fuqua for tough-as-nails thriller The Equalizer.
A two-time Academy Award-winner (with a further four nominations under his belt), Washington has achieved just about all there is to achieve in his glittering Hollywood career. Picking out his five best movies is a tricky job, but we've attempted to do it anyway. Read on to find out which Denzel movies we think are the absolute essentials...
Glory (1989)
Edward Zwick's American Civil War drama starred Washington as Private Silas Trip, a soldier in the first Union Army unit to be made up entirely of African-American men. Washington stole the movie from its leading man Matthew Broderick, and bagged a Supporting Actor Oscar win for his troubles. He was nominated two years prior for playing activist Steve Biko in Cry Freedom, but this was the movie that »

My first question about The Equalizer after seeing the trailer was, "Why even bother calling it The Equalizer?"
After all, it's not as if The Equalizer—a 1980s CBS detective drama starring Edward Woodward as a Good Samaritan retired intelligence agent—was a brand that still lured audiences. Antoine Fuqua's violent action movie with Denzel Washington exists in an entirely different universe, the brutal and vengeful cinematic neighborhood of Charles Bronson, Liam Neeson, and Washington himself. Call it The Equalizer or call it Man on Fire 2—this is a Denzel action film, first and last.

Director: Antoine Fuqua.
Starring: Denzel Washington, Marton Csokas, Chloë Grace Moretz.
Running Time: 128 Minutes.
Synopsis: McCall is a former black ops commando who has faked his death to live a quiet life in Boston. When he comes out of his self-imposed retirement to rescue a young girl, Teri, he finds himself face to face with ultra-violent Russian gangsters. As he serves vengeance against those who brutalize the helpless, McCall's desire for justice is reawakened. If someone has a problem, the odds are stacked against them, and they have nowhere else to turn, McCall will help. He is The Equalizer.
There are a few things that stick in ones mind as we look back at the great 1980s TV series that was The Equalizer. A juddering, memorable theme tune, sweeping vistas of the New York skyline, scenes of reprobates lurking on the subway/ random lifts, and a silhouetted Edward Woodward stood, »

"If you're looking for ransom, I can tell you that I don't have any money. What I do have, are a very particular set of skills, skills I have acquired over a very long career, skills that make me a nightmare for people like you." – Bryan Mills (Liam Neeson), Taken
When Liam Neeson was playing telephone with bad guys in 2008's Taken, he was not just introducing himself to those who had nixed his daughter's attempt to stalk U2 guitarist The Edge. He was inaugurating a new action hero archetype built of aged wisdom and burrowed brawn, the middle-aged vigilante assassin. (Vigilante applied here because as "one who undertakes law enforcement without legal authority," while "assassin" fits to associations of precise violent skills.)
The success of Neeson's mission as ex-cia guy Mills, that is, the hundreds of millions of dollars Taken took, confirmed the vitality of a middle-aged vigilante assassin, »

Written by Richard Wenk
Directed by Antoine Fuqua
While Denzel Washington shares the same name as Edward Woodward's character from The Equalizer television show, that's exactly where the similarities end. The word equalizer isn't even mentioned except for the credits. Further establishing differences between the two McCalls are the digs they occupy. Rather than roll around in a flashy Jaguar, Washington's McCall takes public transportation and spends his days in anonymity working for Home Depot. He comes home to a fairly bare apartment in a lower-class corner of Boston. Nights when Robert can't sleep he reads Cervantes in diners. This life is simple and it's what he promised someone he loved.
His occasional conversation partner at this diner is a young girl named Teri (Chloë Grace Moretz). She walks the streets, serving the interests of an Eastern Bloc crime syndicate. Robert knows, »

After receiving joking acknowledgment in The Wolf of Wall Street last year, awareness of '80s TV series The Equalizer is probably now as high as it was ever going to be. It's hard to imagine any fans of the series clamouring for a film version more than two decades later, and even harder to say whether they'll approve of Antoine Fuqua's adaptation, which carries over the names of the series, but little else. A one-man A-Team,the titular Equalizer is Robert McCall, an ex-covert operative with a particular set of skills he uses to atone for a shady past, one hard-luck case at a time.
The original series was set in New York, while the film version has driven a few hours up the I-90 to move the surroundings to Boston. While the change of leading man, from proper Brit Edward Woodward to all-American-ly handsome Denzel Washington, »

Opening at 3,234 theaters, Denzel Washington action movie The Equalizer is going to easily take first place at the box office this weekend. Meanwhile, Laika Animation's The Boxtrolls will battle The Maze Runner for the runner-up spot.The Equalizer is based on the TV show of the same name, which ran for four seasons in the 1980s. It featured a former intelligence agent who uses a unique set of skills to help average people "equalize" the odds against them. The connection to the TV show should generate some curiosity among older moviegoers, though the primary draw here is star Denzel Washington. In the past decade, Denzel has starred in 11 movies which were released in to at least 1,800 theaters; all 11 of those took in north of $20 million on opening weekend. Remarkably, nine of those 11 movies were rated R. Without a doubt, Denzel is currently one of the most bankable stars at the domestic box office. »

For this week's spotlight piece, I wanted to take a look at pretty much one of the definitions of an A-list actor. He's Denzel Washington, a two time Academy Award winning thespian and giant in the industry. Washington does more than just act of course, he's an iconic movie star, there's no doubt about that. If anyone is right for this sort of a spotlight, it's him. Washington got his start in TV movies, but on the big screen he made his first mark with Cry Freedom, which also got him nominated for Best Supporting Actor, his first nomination of what would become a half dozen (and counting). That established him as an up and comer, leading to his television role on the show St. Elsewhere, which ran for half a decade. That would open up some major film roles, including Glory, where he received »

If an actor has played the hero or villain in an action film in the last few decades, there's a good chance he or she walked away from an explosion and looked cool while doing it. There's no shortage of examples—more than enough for Andy Samberg and his Lonely Island bandmates to make a music video about it—and many actors have pulled off the impressive and unrealistic feat multiple times.
Among the repeat walkers-away are Denzel Washington, who even ignored an explosion in the poster for Man on Fire. Washington will look to perfect his explosion walk (walksplosion? »

The Equalizer comes to the big screen with Denzel Washington in the lead. Here's Ryan's review of a bruising action thriller...
Readers of a certain vintage might remember The Equalizer, the 80s television series starring Edward Woodward, but it's unlikely they'll remember it being quite as action-packed and brutal as Antoine Fuqua's full-blooded film adaptation.
Denzel Washington replaces Woodward as Robert McCall, a Diy store worker with a chequered past. Living alone in his modest Boston apartment, McCall barely sleeps and spends the greater proportion of his nights at a 24-hour diner, reading classic literature, arranging the condiments in neat rows and quietly brooding away the hours before dawn.
One of the diner's few other patrons is Elena, a young prostitute played by Chloe Grace Moretz. When she's viciously beaten up by her Russian pimp, Slavi (David Meunier), McCall leaps to her defence, using a »

Denzel Washington was all smiles (as per usual) at the press conference for his newest film, The Equalizer, at the Toronto International Film Festival this Sunday.
The film, an adaptation of the 1980s television series of the same name, reunites Washington with his Training Day director, Antoine Fuqua. It follows Robert McCall, a seemingly normal, quiet man who works at a home improvement store by day. At night, he reads the books his wife never got to before she died, and sits, drinking tea at a local diner. Chloë Grace Moretz, who plays a young woman named Teri, befriends McCall at the diner over the course of many nights.
But this isn't just two lonely people talking about "The Old Man and the Sea." McCall is an ex-special ops agent, and Teri is a Russian prostitute who's about to get in a whole lot of trouble.

The basic premise of the '80s TV series "The Equalizer" was just generic enough to survive on CBS in that decade of bland, and in making the jump to the big-screen, it appears to have survived with all of that bland firmly intact. While I personally didn't care for much of anything about the film, I don't think it's ineptly made or awful so much as just forgettable. It's a teflon film. It slid right off my brain pan just as soon as it made it in through the rods and cones, and even trying to summon up specific scenes or gags a few days later, I can already feel it slipping away. Part of the problem is just plain familiarity with the tropes of the film. Denzel Washington plays Denzel Washington, essentially. This isn't a character the same way Creasy in "Man On Fire" was a character. It's »

Denzel Washington balances the scales of justice — and challenges Liam Neeson for a slice of the middle-aged action-hero pie — in "The Equalizer," an ultraviolent update of the 1985-89 CBS drama series that featured Edward Woodward as a former government agent turned pro-bono avenging angel. But in making the leap from small screen to large, and from pre-Giuliani New York to post-recession Boston, director Antoine Fuqua and writer Richard Wenk ("16 Blocks") have also traded the series' elemental underdog appeal for. Ponderously overlong and not even half as much fun as it should have been, "The Equalizer" still gets a lot of mileage out of Washington's unassailable star presence, which should translate to solid if not spectacular returns upon the pic's Sept. 26 release.
Although he shares a character name and skill set with his TV predecessor, Washington's Robert McCall is otherwise, literally and figuratively, an Equalizer of a different »

Tonight in Toronto, Denzel Washington and his Training Day director Antoine Fuqua will launch a new franchise, The Equalizer, a drama loosely based on the TV series. Thankfully for fans of Washington's action work, the film is a closer spiritual cousin to Man On Fire, with Washington playing a righteous character who is merciless on the bad guys. Here, Fuqua, who is also mounting a Magnificent Seven remake with Washington for MGM, discusses the star's everyman appeal and what makes him capable of so many indelible performances.
Deadline: Watching The Equalizer made me feel like I'd gotten the Man On Fire sequel I never thought possible when John Creasy died after killing every kidnapper in Mexico. The spirit of the movie courses through The Equalizer. What is it about Denzel Washington killing bad guys that makes it feel like Christmas morning?
Fuqua: [Laughs]. I just think it's »

I assume he will have to lead by example and become a AFA - or will he hide behind Westpac's QFE status. Then he will realise what a mess his legacy in this area is.
Retiring Commerce Minister Simon Power will join Westpac in January in the role of Head of Private Bank.
Announcing the appointment, Westpac ceo George Frazis said Mr Power brought a range of skills and expertise to the position which fitted well with the purpose and focus of Westpac's private bank - the banking service for Westpac's premium personal customers.
"We are enormously excited to be joined by someone with such an outstanding record of leadership and achivement at the highest level," Mr Frazis said.
Mr Power, 41, is leaving parliament after serving as the MP for Rangitikei for the past 12 years and as a cabinet minister for the past three, including as Minister for commerce and Associate Minister of Finance.
"This is the beginning of a new and exciting chapter in my career. One of my objectives afer leaving parliament is to contribute to the growth of New Zealand in the private sector and I feel that with my experience in working with and implementing change I can do that," he said.
Mr Power's March announcement that he would stand down from Parliament after the November 26 election came as a surprise to many, with Prime Minister John Key saying he was "stunned and flabbergasted".
At the time, Mr Power said leadership was "not for me" but did not rule out a future return to politics.

This sadly reflects that policitics pays too little in NZ to retain people of real quality given the amount of work required (anf the amount these people can earn in the private sector). The only people who stick with politics are either those who don't need the money (Key etc) or those who do need the money because they don't have marketable and monetiseable skills (ex unionists, environmentalists, communists, etc).
A shame really.
Simon leaves a poor legacy and train wreck in the financial markets for the next Minister.
Having setup a cosy arrangement for corporates under the regulatory system it is fitting that he heads to Westpac. (large supporter of the failed ING structured credits products)
And who says there's no Pork NZ politics!
It just goes to show he was pushed as this role certainly won't keep him close to home which was his mooted excuse for leaving Parliament.
This stinks. How much of the draconian legislation that he's rammed through will benefit his new paymasters I wonder ... maybe we'll never really know until it is too late to much about it?
His zealous approach to removing the centuries old right to silence and unseemly push for unconstitutional Search and Surveillance laws demonstrated he had no clue about time-tested appropriate checks on state powers.
Good luck westpac, you have a new bovver boy.
This has a smell to it...
Jobs for the boys....
Isnt it time the government changed their banking accounts to Kiwibank...
It would keep profits in the country...
Its a no brainer!!!
What do you think the change of this is now that the selection panel are now in bed with each other? A fat chance..
Its time the government looked after the public rather than themselves.

Gear Review
Beautiful, but imperfect
Simon Hatfield
Member since
This carabiner has the expert craftsmanship I've come to expect from Black Diamond. I bought it specifically to rack my stoppers on, as I don't like the standard Ovalwire and wanted a keylock with a big basket.
Pros: Pretty big, square basket. Distinctive (and beautiful IMO) color that makes it easy to ID. Keylock means no snags
Cons: Weak gate spring so it opens accidentally sometimes. Heavy. About as expensive as non-lockers get. Lower basket is not that much bigger than a positron.
Overall, not a bad carabiner, and probably super nice on the bolt end of sport draws (its intended use). That said, you can do better for the dough.
Disclaimer: I only own one of these, which means it is possible (though unlikely) that the weak gate spring is an isolated issue.
Member since
Racking wires is exactly what I want this biner for. I also dislike oval biners because when they're on your harness you can't tell easily if they're the right way up or not - annoying! Would you recommend it for racking or have you found something better?
Simon Hatfield
Member since
its pretty great for racking wires, i typically carry about 16, the 7-8 largest on this and the smallest ones on a nitron. its a system I like, but I've never seen anyone else climb with it.
Jon Heggland
Member since
Yes, the gate spring is weak. I bought one for racking wires, but I wouldn't recommend it for that purpose, due to the weak gate and narrow lower basket. I've switched to a DMM Ultra O instead.

When the high-performance rims on your Ferrari won't do, enter HRE Wheels
You've got to see Alan Peltier's car.
It's a $17,000 Honda Fit that boasts $10,000 in aftermarket wheels and an Eibach coilover suspension.
"It's slow, but it's fun," he quipped recently.
The Fit's red, forged-aluminum alloy wheels were custom-made by HRE Wheels of Vista. The high-performance wheel manufacturer sells rims for between $5,000 and $10,000 for a set of four. Peltier is the firm's president.
The cars usually sporting the wheels are Ferraris, Porsches, Bentleys. That's why Peltier's car stands out.
"In my business, obviously I'm catching a lot of flak for having this car, but honestly I love it," Peltier said, noting he got a recent thumbs-up from a driver of high-performance Acura NSX.
The wheels are custom-ordered and manufactured in Vista. They take three to four weeks to produce. Peltier says the company sells about 2,500 sets of the wheels each year, and roughly 40 percent are shipped overseas. Most of the American buyers are in Los Angeles, San Francisco, Miami and Texas and, Peltier said. Some of the current wheel orders are for a 1977 Datsun Z, a Honda S2000, a Corvette, a Ford GT and a BMW 5 series.
Peltier, 43, joined HRE as an engineer in 1999 before working his way up to president in 2009. He previously worked at Northrop Grumman, where he helped design B2 stealth bombers.
"I love airplanes, but I'm a car guy," he said. "I've been a car guy since I was 3 years old."
The U-T caught up with Peltier recently to talk about how business has been at the Vista headquarters:
Q: What goes into a high-performance wheel?
A: Anybody can make a wheel strong. Anybody can make a wheel light. The trick is to make a wheel strong and light. We really do a fantastic job of that. We spend hours and hours and hours on the computer doing FEA, which is finite element analysis, and it allows us to go in and refine the design and take out little bits of mass here and there and put in a little bit more where we need it for strength. So we're sort of refining it and refining it and refining it before we ever cut it.
Q: How common is wheel manufacturing in America? In San Diego?
A: It is rare to have it in America and it's even rarer to have it in San Diego. It's rare in the United States because wheel manufacturing has really been moved offshore. It's gone to Asia, and it's gone to Mexico. We're able to survive because we cater to the very, very high-end and we bring a value that you can't get overseas. Industrial manufacturing like this is not traditional for San Diego. There's a lot of biotech, there's Sony, the golf industry, most of the wheel industry is in Los Angeles, and for us being in San Diego, obviously it's nice; we prefer the culture down here.
Q: How common are the wheels on cars in San Diego?

Latest Fujian flu Stories
The H7N9 bird flu that emerged in China in March has been labeled more deadly than 2009's H1N1 swine flu outbreak, but less severe than the H5N1 bird flu outbreak that affected the region in 2003.
New data on the H7N9 flu strain in China has surfaced with reports that more than half of the cases seen so far have had no direct contact with poultry.
Chinese authorities have killed more than 20,000 birds after an unusual strain of the bird flu has surfaced, so far killing six people in the Asian country. The strain was found in pigeons sold at various markets throughout Shanghai, according to state-run Xinhua news agency on Friday.
A moratorium on bird flu studies was ended on Wednesday, allowing scientists to return to their research on the H5N1 bird flu; previously, there had been fears of bioterrorism at the international level.
As a nasty flu season is gripping the country, a surge in demand for flu shots has left some vaccine providers around the country with short supplies.
Research from the University of Melbourne has shown that two different vaccine viruses- used simultaneously to control the same condition in chickens- have combined to produce new infectious viruses, prompting early response from Australia's veterinary medicines regulator.
There's that old adage, better to be prepared than to be sorry. Researchers have made it possible to be prepared in the case of a pandemic outburst of the H5N1 virus, otherwise known as the avian flu.
It was assumed that H5N1 bird flu is a rare disease that kills roughly 59 percent of the people it infects, but a new US study published in the journal Science suggests it may be more common and less deadly than previously believed.

lots of retained spell effects and other anomalies from Age of Conan thus far, but today's version is something new. This was sent in to us by Shujaa from the Bitter Souls guild on the Dagoth server, who describes this as the "California Raisin" shot. Here's what he had to say about the above weirdness:
I call this picture the "California Raisin," simply because I am playing AoC in California and after what happened, I looked like a raisin on 2 legs. But let me explain what happened....
I was questing in one of the Villas in the Tarantia Noble District and pulled one too many mobs, 2 of them being casters. [A]fter about 10 seconds, I found myself on the receiving end of a very nasty fire-based Fatality. When I rezzed at the entrance to the Villa, my character model retained the "Summer BBQ Rib" look throughout the rest of my play session. Safe to say I had a good time running around town looking like a medieval California Raisin!
Do you have any strange, funny, or otherwise off the wall screenshots you've taken in your favorite games? No? Well, snag some screenshots from your favorite game anyway and send those in! We're looking for lots more submissions -- and with summer here, we know more folks are playing! Send them to us here at oneshots AT massively DOT com, and be sure to tell us about what we're seeing in the screenshots. Yours could be next!

I've also had this happen with lightning spells (my toon turned into a bad lightning desktop wallpaper) and frost spells (white, white, white, with a slight blue tinge).
At work, so no screenshots readily available at the moment.

ST. PAUL, Minn. -- Jamie McLennan made 25 saves as Minnesota stopped Pittsburgh star Mario Lemieux.
Lemieux, playing despite back pain that surfaced during practice Friday, was held without a point for the second time in 19 games since his comeback from a 3 1/2-year retirement Dec. 27, ending a nine-game streak with at least a point.
Stacy Roest, Jim Dowd, Curtis Leschyshyn and Wes Walz scored for the Wild, 7-2-0-1 in their last 10 games. Robert Lang scored twice for Pittsburgh.

Hey Everyone,
I know this is a long shot, but I really need help. I am searching for information on my gggrandmother. My ggrandmother was Emily Catherine Sullivan. She was born in 1854 and died in 1937. On the death certificate her mother is listed as Sallie Newbury or Newberry(I can't read the writing). Sallie was married to John Sullivan. The death record lists her mother(Sallie) as being born in Weakley Co, TN. I have some doubts if her name was really Sallie, and may have been Mary instead. I know in one census around 1860 or 70 there's a Mary Sullivan listed with her daughters Emily and Kate, and Emily did have a sister named Kate. Emily went on to marry Marshall L. Rhodes and Kate married John Phillips. I really need help locating the family of Sallie/Mary Newbury. Do these names sound familiar to anyone out there?

If you are on Savella medication?
What can you take for the headache?

Hi TeamEdward. There are many over the counter medications for a headache. Not certain if you have allergies, that sort of thing. I drink a lot of coffee, and I seldom ever have a headache. Its been proven that coffee eliminates migraine headaches. having said that, try the old trusted and true method, one or two aspirin, say 300mg per pill, (unless you have an allergy to aspirin, stomach etc). That should help you. Theres any number of otc brands out there. Not certain as tyo what you've already tried.
4 Aug 2011
There are amny drugs you can take for a headache. It depends on what is causing the headache. An OTC pain reliever like aspirin, ibuprofen, or naproxen can work for most tension type headaches and possibly can help a migraine if taken at the very start of a migraine headache. If the headache is caused by sinus pressure then taking a decongestant along with an OTC pain reliever can help. If you can tell us a bit more info about the headache-where the pain is located and describe the pain, it might give us a better idea. It also depends, as Von said, what other medications and medical conditions you have as to what is safe to take. If you take a lot of medications or have health problems then it might be best to call your Dr and ask him what is safe to take.
4 Aug 2011
Well personaly I use 600 mg. of ibuprofen and lot's of times sudafed with it. I tend to get sinus headaches but have found that sudafed can also help with my migraines. Sometimes I take Excedrin or the generic equivelent. I find the caffine in it really does help. As with anything always check for drug interactions before adding anything new.
if not sure u can always call ur dr and find out whats best for you teamedward. i personally can only take tylenol as im allergic to asprin, nsaids, etc etc. good luck.
10 Nov 2011
I interpreted your question as thinking that Savella was causing your headache. Generally Savella is a pain killer and I'm currently starting it to especially treat my migraines as well as my fibromyalgia.
You really need to talk to the doctor who prescribed the Savella for you about the headaches and what to take for them.

A Mirror On 'Epitaph On The World'
Here lies a world long deceased,
Whose Life by Sheol was seized,
His glorious childhood in aeons was spent,
This blissful man soon too went,
A Stronger age its strength had lent,
Vanity it is of it to speak,
The sea of destiny did spring a leak,
when death was enthroned,
when it shall grow like a horn,
all we know is here it grows as a thorn.

Homestuck Let's go to the mall TODAY
So sometimes, in the Homestuck fandom, you see images of people cosplaying the characters and stuff, and you're like "haha, that's silly but good for them". I'm kind of baffled by how Homestuck seems to bring out so many cosplayers, and especially by how many gender-bent cosplayers, but that's neither here nor there.
So I have been back in Oklahoma for the week to hang out with friends and family and pack up my stuff to ship back up to my new home with Nukaya in Oregon. Today one of my BFFs came into Tulsa to hang with me, and we decided to go to the mall. When we walk in I was like, "JOHN, look!" And he, being the non-fan that he is, didn't see anything.
It was Homestuck cosplayers. A huge group of them.
So it was like, ten female Daves and a Jade Dog Tier.
I walked by them once and pointed at one and was like "hey, nice Dave record scratch shirt, my bro has that shirt". I think she almost lost it when I said that.
What I wanted to do was sit down at their table in the food court and say "Hi, so, just to make you guys totes jelly, but I know one of the Homestuck artists personally, we're like BFFs."
I didn't though, because I have to protect her identity.
Anyway. That is my cool story, bros. (And females who are not bros because that is not how gender-specific terminology works).

HOUSTON The former Memorial Middle School teacher who had sex with a 15-year-old student has pleaded guilty to the charges against her.
Kathryn Camille Murray pleaded guilty to one count of improper relations with a student and one count of sexual assault of a child. Two other counts against Murray were dropped.
Murray was charged in February 2012 after investigators learned of her relationship with a teen she was supposed to be tutoring. She had multiple sexual encounters with the boy.
Investigators said Murray, who was 29 years old,had sex with the boy at his home on February 11, 2012, while his parents were away. She also had sex with him at a hotel on the night of a school dance and in her classroom on two separate occasions.
The former eighth grade teacher, who attended both Memorial Middle and Memorial High School growing up, taught at Memorial Middle for three years as a Language Arts teacher. She was removed from the classroom and let go from her position immediately after the investigation began.
Campus and District administration took immediate and appropriate action after an initial report was made by a faculty member to the school principal on Feb. 13. Mrs. Murray was removed from the classroom and the campus on the same day, the district said in a released statement.
But after the allegations surfaced and Murray lost her job, she still continued to have contact with the boy after a judge strictly forbade it, landing herself in more trouble.
In January 2013, Murray was charged with harboring a runaway when police found the boy with her at her father s home. They caught the boy, who was 16 at the time, trying to leave out the back door.
The boy s mother said her son, who was the victim in all of this, was suffering. The teen said that he was in love with Ms. Murray.
We are not good, we are very hurt. My son is really confused, hurt. We working with him very closely but he s not good, not good at all, she said.
The school district wanted Murray to be punished for her crime.
We feel that Ms. Murray s behavior is despicable, and encourage the district attorney to prosecute Ms. Murray to the fullest extent of the law, a Spring Branch ISD statement read.
Murray s bond was revoked and she was placed back in jail after they were caught together. Now she will learn her fate. Sentencing is set for January 31, 2014.

Rushmore Judd began writing erotic stories in the early 1990's. When the internet arrived, he finally found an outlet for his stories and what was a hobby became an avocation. Publishing on a few websites he developed a loyal following that encouraged him.
His writing is straight forward in its descriptions without a heavy reliance on euphemisms. Frequently someone in the story is pushing a boundary, exploring new experiences or crossing a forbidden line. It is the struggle between conscience and lust that characterizes many of his stories. Others have accused him of being a woman who only pretends to be a man because of his intimate understanding of the way a woman reacts and thinks. He prefers to think of himself as a lesbian trapped in a man's body. Some have suggested that his readings become required reading for young men and teens. His stories project a positive view of sex and seduction.
In 2010 he started his own website (www.rushmorejudd.com) and in April of 2011 he published his first story on Smashwords.com. Rushmore has had a successful career as a business consultant and in that capacity he has traveled the world, living in Europe for a time. Currently he lives in the beautiful Berkshire region of New England with his wife.

This review is for The Tantric Massage, maybe not meaning to be funny, but it was to me. I liked it, it made me laugh because of the voice I imagined the masseuse had, and how the male character expressed how much he was enjoying her fingers and hands, and his body reacted to the massage. I could visualize her encouraging him to release, her hands placed in the right spots, giving him permission to relieve stress. The masseuse never missed a beat and I think personally she makes a lot of money lol

There are two stories in this selection. In the first, the build up is there, but then... it's erotic but goes nowhere. The second, however, is much more what I was expecting.

I have mixed feelings about this powder!
The color nr 1 is a perfect match for my fair skin...
This does not break me out....EDIT: THIS MADE ME BREAK OUT SO BAD IM STILL RECOVERING!!!
My skin looks smooth and the powder doesnt feel heavy...
It melts on my skin after some time and makes it look natural...
I always get compliments on my skin when I use this powder!
It seems to melt off my oily skin somehow...
It caked around my nose and lips (I was using MAC SF Concealer)
Doesn't control oil
So I really don't know about this one!
EDIT: I loved this powder to begin with. I used it everyday and then I started to get really DEEP acne on my chins and it didnt start to recover until I stopped wearing this. Im still recovering and my face is not the same. I keep this now in my car ICE and I had to use it the other day and it looked so white and ashy that people thought I was sick......... I am so surpriced other people here arent talking about breakouts?

i really like this powder because its so easy to pick up product with my makeup brush and its so easy to apply! i have this color in 'deep' and although it looks dark in the pan, its actually not that dark when you put it on your face. FYI for clinique's stay matte powder i use 'stay golden'. the coverage is good and it makes my skin tone even and it has spf! will definitely repurchase
This was AWFUL!! I was matched to the color "deep." It is so weird because that color was too dark, yet greyish at the same time!! I immediately washed it off, so I do not know what affect it can have on very acne prone and sensitive skin like mine. Just steer clear of this!! If you absolutely must have a clinique powder, try the stay-matte, it wasn't good enough for me but it was a heck of a lot better in terms of color matching than this crap!!
For the past few years (since having my first child and now two years post-preg), my skin has been sooooo finicky. I've been acne-prone for years, but never overly-sensitive. Well, I'm definitely in the realm of having very sensitive skin these days. Because of that, I've reseated my mom as "Return Queen"... nothing I try ever works. That was the case with makeup until I found this powder. Amazing... it has incredible coverage, doesn't irritate, and keeps me looking great for nearly 8 hours without blotting/retouching. I apply by patting my Ecotools retractable kabuki into the powder, then lightly pat it all over my face one section at a time (swiping more powder as needed). For blemishes and red spots, I apply a little more just on the spot w/ an old MAC eyeliner brush. I've hit pan and repurchased a few times which is unheard of for me! Good stuff! (I use the lightest shade offered)
UPDATE 9/2011: Still love this! :-D Never causes irritation or issues.
UPDATE 3/21/12: Still going strong with this little gem!

I typically use Clinique's Stay Matte powder, but wanted to see if this had more staying power (it doesn't). I prefer Stay Matte's color range, so I'll return to that after I use this up.
Pros: SPF 15, oil free, light weight
Cons: It smells strange (all Clinique products are fragrance free), fewer color choices than Stay Matte, after time you have to scrape the top layer of product off to reveal usable powder.

I have a lot of redness in my cheeks due to rosacea and this really does a great job of keeping it covered without feeling like I have too much makeup on. Also has not broken me out at all and I feel like my skin is less angry since I have been using it. I previously had been using Studio Fix for years. I thought I loved it, but this is far more natural looking. When I started using the Clinique I had several people tell me that my skin looked good, including my husband. I even had a woman whom I see pretty regularly in a local store ask me if I had changed my makeup and told me that I looked really good. While I was happy for the compliment, couldn't help but wonder how bad I had been looking prior to this makeup. I took it as a sign that I should stick with it. I also appreciate that Clinique's compacts are very sturdy, cheap packaging is such a pet peeve of mine.

This is a pretty decent powder foundation. It's odd to me that most powder foundations I try, high or low end, all end up looking the same on me. It makes me question whether higher-priced brands are really better. I went to Sephora to compare this to the Laura Mercier powder foundation that I've been contemplating buying and they seemed identical in finish and color. As with most powder foundations, this looks powdery and a little chalky on me in the morning, but looks great once my natural oils have moistened it up a little bit. And as with all powder foundations, it looks pretty bad at the end of the day with serious caking and separation. On the positive side, the #1 shade is a pretty decent match on me and only slightly oxidizes during the day, probably not even noticeable to anyone but me. It also doesn't break me out, but I feel like it could end up drying my face a bit if I wear it too often. Like I said, it's pretty decent and basic. Great for those who don't like to fuss a lot with foundation!

May I often stray for the "next best thing" i always return back to my almost powder. Just one application with the sponge gives me the natural coverage I need while giving me that "poreless" face. For even heavier coverage it works well over the new Moisturesurge TM (since everything else is DC). For those who hate the sponge, if you can find a small brush (ex the brushes from PF Happy Boosters) they fit over the plastic cover inside and it closes for touch ups if you want a brush. I really wish they would return to the old packaging they use with Perfectly Real compact. The plastic separator can get annoying to mess with.
One of the main reasons I enjoy this powder for so long is that is doesn't have bismuth (they use Boron Nitride, same as Jane Iredale) and is enough coverage to hide the extra redness in my cheeks without losing all my freckles. So I look polished without looking caked up. I have normal/sometimes oily, sometimes dry skin, and this powder lasts a good 8 hours on me without any touch ups.
I switched to Jane Iredale Purepressed Base for about a year and while I enjoyed its coverage, I didn't enjoy price. I find this a great cheaper alternative for very similar product. Both finely milled, sheer and natural looking. If you are having reactions to Bismuth I would give this a try before going down the JI line. Its half the price of the JI and gives a very similar, if not better coverage than the JI. I hope they never DC this product. Quite possibly the best one they have IMO.

I pretty much threw out all my concealers and foundations after getting this powder--no joke. In search of getting the perfect coverage, I had bought tons of concealers, creams, etc. Little did I know, Clinique's Almost Powder was all I needed. Got the little sucker in Neutral Fair and when used with my Beauty Blender, it gives plenty of coverage for my acne scars and it lasts throughout an 8-hour work day. Color-wise, I'm not sure it matches my NC15 Asian skin "perfectly" so I'll probably go back and get rematched...Neutral Fair is the yellowest (the swatches online even look YELLOW) but when worn, it almost seems pinkish? Although, my perception has been off many times (according to friends). Other than that, it is my HG powder/face coverage. All you really need is moisturizer and you're out the door.

SUPERB. I have tried them all and this is the best ever! Medium for autumn and winter and into early spring and dark for summer - coverage is superb - can be varied by use of a brush for light and the puff for deeper. Covers any flaws, is good for the skin and looks sensational. WELL WORTH THE COST. Compared to Chanel and MAC, this is very inexpensive and has the highest quality ingredients.

295 million Americans feel they were unfairly targeted by IRS
WASHINGTON, DC - Following recent revelations that the IRS may have targeted political groups who were seeking tax exempt status, 295 million Americans have also spoken up, saying that they too were targeted unfairly by the IRS.
"Yeah, I guess this was bound to happen," said IRS director of public relations Kevin Gould. "I've heard quite a few rumors that people really don't like our organization very much. I thought my job as public relations director for Time Warner cable was bad, but this place is pretty much the worst ever."
"I demand immediate Congressional hearings," said William Gadd, one of the 295 million who feel they've been victimized. "Me and the other 295,999,999 people who have fallen victim to this reckless abuse of power deserve to have our voices heard and our questions answered. If they start hearings next week, we should be able to get all the witnesses called before Congress goes on summer vacation. Right?"
Members of Congress seized on the opportunity to expand on their constituents outrage. "I would like to point out how sad and disgusted I am by this," said Congressman Charles Sovern of Alabama. "I want my constituents to understand that I know exactly how I feel. And, if I did not have a multitude of offshore sheltered accounts and high level crooked friends to keep me from paying taxes, I'm sure I would feel even worse about this."
