Cezary Gapik (also know as CEZAR) was born in Czestochowa, Poland in 1963. He started his musical activity in 1980 as an animator of punk rock bands. Soon enough he discovered new sounds which were brought by the punk rock rebellion. Cabaret Voltaire, Public Image Ltd. or other "new wave" bands had an enormous influence on the perception of music by Cezar. Plunging into the fundaments of musical avant-garde ( Karlheinz Stockhausen, Morton Feldman, Luc Ferrari, La Monte Young ), the appearance of new creative possibilities (computer) together with the works of artists like Mick Harris (Lull, Scorn), Illusion of Safety, etc. had definitively shaped the musical direction towards which Cezary Gapik follows. His musical creation is based on drones and micro-tonal sound planes interlaced with abstract "images" (field recordings, prepared instruments, various objects) or computer-processed synthetic sounds (glitch, noise). …

Whether you visit Christina Josephs Salon for a haircut, a wig or extension fitting, or a massage, you'll benefit from a team trained in a sprawling array of services. Bodies get beach-ready with services from the highly-trained team such as waxing and airbrush tanning, while photographers are on-hand to snap head shots, boudoir photos, and glamor pics to hand out to your new dolphin friends. To make sure those head shots look their best, try one of the salon's cleansing facials or microdermabrasion treatments, each of which is designed to brighten and revitalize skin.
Window decals of traditional barbershop poles signal the entrance to Kisner's Barber Salon, where licensed and certified hairstylists cut, color, and perm hair seven days a week. After sitting down for an initial consultation, men, women, and children can add new dimensions to their looks with a sleek cut and style. The salon's services don't stop at the scalp, however. Nourishing facials infuse skin with essential moisturizers and professional massages melt away stress with gentle strokes. Thankfully, none of that stress will come from being dissatisfied with one's haircut; clients may return within two days for an alteration or a confidence-boosting compliment, both free of charge.
Massage therapist Ruth's clients refer to her as "Dr. Ruth"?a loving testament to her effect on their physical, psychological, and emotional well-being. Ruth carefully tailors massage work to the unique needs of each client, coupling Swedish and deep-tissue strokes with soft music and soothing oils. Clients can also request Ruth's specialty hot-stone massage to boost blood circulation and drain the lymph nodes.
The massage therapist at Dee's Therapeutic Touch liberates clients of soreness and tension from head to toe. Visits may include opulent hot-stone massages and spa services. Clients can also opt for reflexology sessions, during which the therapist works to relax the entire body through the pressure points on the feet.
When master stylist Christie Kramer decided to open a hair salon in 1998, her standards for the hair professionals she would to hire were high. Having trained in Europe and the US, she brought with her a wide perspective on hair care and selected her staff based on their specific talents. Today, the stylists at Christie's Salon Inc. are most known for their hair coloring skills, from multi-dimensional hues to rich reds and drastic color corrections. Clients can also opt for a full array of hair care services, including Japanese straightening, extensions, and Brazilian blowouts. On the spa side of things, an aesthetician creates soothing moments during facials, massages or nail care.
At Keith Harris Salon, the stylists and aestheticians boast extensive experience in their fields, and it shows in the attentive services they provide. In addition to haircuts, the salon offers a number of intensive haircare services, including demi-permanent waves, formal updos, and professional hair coloring.
The salon's staff also performs a range of refreshing skincare treatments. The rejuvenating vitamin C facial employs antioxidants to diminish signs of aging, sun damage, and motorcycling full-speed through lush jungles, helping to restore skin to a more youthful radiance. A special gentleman's facial includes a shoulder-and-neck massage and moisturizing mask.

The location was nice. The staff was very friendly. The roof lookout was nice to view the city.
The rooms were small. We stayed 2 nights and both mornings when we got up to shower there were cockroaches in the bathroom that went back behind the vanity. Gross !!!
Location, convenience of 24hr restaurant, staff was great, rooftop views. Always lots of people and activity, which was fun.
The inconvenience of the old elevator and the noise factor were to be expected for an old city hotel. All OK with me, as a heavy sleeper who can use earplugs if necessary. If bugged by elevator, book room on lower floors so you can walk up and down the stairs if in a hurry.

I just like the hotel location only.
They charge too much for parking Uncomfortable old beds. They should change the old elevators Dirty carpet and annoying air conditioners
Love the character of the building. Staff was exceptionally helpful, accomodating and friendly. Building is 100+ yrs old and seems like it hasn't been altered very much.Location was convenient and loved the rooftop patio. Room was clean and just large enough for 2 people and 4 suitcases. Liked the front-facing window to see the street below. Good 24hr. restaurant next door.
Although I wasn't bothered by these things because I appreciate the vintage aspect, but, might be an issue for "fussier" guests: Elevator is an exercise in patience-tiny, slow and hard to keep door open. Neighborhood is noisy, so not for light sleepers. Earplugs and a few cocktails work for me just fine.
Location to everything was great.
Parking was a little difficult.
Staff are always great. Location is ideal and the price is awesome for the area. We like the fact that it's a historic building.
We know this going in but rooms are small and the beds are a bit uncomfortable.
The staff was very friendly and always made sure to say good bye and hello when going and coming. The elevator was a major plus even if it was a bit small.
The rooms are small but what do you expect from a hotel that was built back in the 1900s. Can get a bit loud, but just turn the a/c on and it's not that bad.
Generally a good experience - I can recommend it and would come back. A nice special is the rooftop access.
- very noisy - breakfast only in the nearby restaurant
We were a family of 13 traveling together. The staff at The hotel were all extremely pleasant & helpful. Couldn't have asked for better. Having the restaurant next door a big plus, staff also great. Would stay again, highly recommend.

Everything was so nice. We were upgraded to the Presidential Suite for no reason and it was the nicest place I've ever stayed. I'll definitely come back.
The jacuzzi bath didn't work and didn't have a plug. Also only one remote worked.
24 hours restaurant is awesome. Nice location, fair price.
Elevator is cool but troublesome.
Excelent location, just in the downtown. Walking distance from the main interest places.
Extremely rude staff on the evening we checked in - they gave a suite on the 10th floor to the guys and a small room on the first floor to us, even if we payed the same and there was only one reservation, done by me! When complaining, they started to harass us, the girls, keeping asking us to show us a key card every time that we came back to the hotel (e.g. from the restaurant). Room: A lot of noise and some times food smell coming from the air conditioning, which could not be turned off completely. Ants in the bathroom. Wi-fi was not working good at all. If I had some emergency from work and I would have needed to connect to my office remotely through this wi-fi, it would have not been possible.
The Front Desk manager was very helpful. He was very knowledgeable about the history of the building. I enjoyed riding in the antique elevator although it was a "tight fit" for two and a baggage cart. It is a beautiful building.
Pipes were noisy in the early morning.
The one incharge of the logistics from and to the the airport was very courteous.Felt like tipping him and we did.
A lady staff at the reception was rigid than flexible when we came for the second part of the Stay from Nov 3rd 2014 till Nov 6th. When requested for a change in the room. Felt like crying after having paid hefty sum for stay but definitely regretted the impersonal attitude of the staff there
Excellent Hotel...friendly staff, great location,
The old elevator and the 24/7 restaurant. Liked the overall atmosphere.
No gym or pool
It was close and in walking distance to everything we needed.
Beautiful lobby, room ok, good location. Staff, some are really great.
Very noisy room because of airco. In high season you might have streetnoise, but you wont notice because of 'noicecancelling aircon'. Charming old elevator, or is that just an excuse?? A towel left behind on the floor in the hallway stayed there for 2 full days. Staff, some are very arrogant and unhelpfull.

Meet Jason, chirps James A. Levine, Professor of Medicine at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota, in his book Move a Little, Lose a Lot. "Jason was a self-defined 'gamer' who spent the vast majority of his non-work time plopped on the sofa moving little but his thumbs and forefingers as he slayed villains and raced cars. To Jason, life without videogames wasn't much life at all. Imagine his delight when I told him that even a gamer like himself could live a NEAT life. Thanks to Wii, an interactive gaming device that requires players to literally go through the motions of golfing, bowling, swinging and kicking to play the games, Jason could keep his games and get his NEAT, too."
We know what you're thinking. 1) What is NEAT? 2) What a prat. Levine's 'advice', which dismisses an entire creative medium as just a toy, is akin to telling moviegoers that they should stand in the park and watch a Punch & Judy act instead. Go easy on Levine, though. While his self-help bible has doubtless made him very rich, it also makes a lot of sense.
NEAT is short for Non-Exercise Activity Thermogenesis, and paints a picture of healthy living that doesn't involve mind-crippling trips to the gym, or making promises to yourself you know you'll never keep. Much of it is obvious: walk to work, do the dishes, and, above all, get off that chair before it KILLS YOU. What's actually inspiring, though, is that it gets you thinking about the simple importance of movement. Being healthy, it reminds us, doesn't have to mean 'getting fit'.
Game plan
If recent ESA research is true about the average gamer's age being 37, then a lot of us have been gaming for around 30 years of our lives. We're not going to stop now, so the question becomes how we carry on. An obvious place to start would, you'd think, be silencing the hawkers of 'healthy alternatives' like motion games. Last month the American Academy of Pediatrics published a report which concluded that "children who were given active games were not more physically active than those given inactive games."
How could this be, it asks? Is playing them encouraging them to be less active the rest of the time? Or is it, we might suggest, that the vast majority of these 'active' games are too crap for even the 9-12 year olds studied?
Conclusion: motion-control games are not a sustainable form of exercise for anyone with much taste. To dismiss them, though, is to make assumptions about what exercise we need - specifically, how much and how often. New research suggests just 20-second bouts of cycling like a complete madman on an exercise bike, totalling three minutes in a week, is enough to stay healthy.
"We think that too much emphasis is put on duration of exercise," says Professor Jamie Timmons of Birmingham University. "Our work clearly shows a few minutes a week can combat aspects of sedentary lifestyle. HIT [High-Intensity Interval Training] can offer a quick positive addition to the lifestyle of gamers that will definitely do them some good. "
Assuming you aren't snacking as you play, that is. "If gamers tend to eat when they play then combating those extra calories is more difficult with HIT. So not snacking too much, combined with 3-10 mins of HIT per week - I would say that a lot of good can be achieved." It sounds too good to be true, but regardless, the onus of healthy gaming remains on us as individuals. We asked a health professional what you can do to make your play healthier.

'Night of the Living Dead' Resurrected Yet Again For Another 3D Remake
Movie News By Samantha Wilson on August 16, 2013 | Comments (4)Because one 3D remake was not enough, George Romero's 1968 horror classic Night of the Living Dead will be resurrected once more, this time by director Zebediah de Soto as Night of the Living Dead: Origins 3D. As you might have briefly registered somewhere in your mind, there was a 3D Night of the Living Dead remake in 2006, as well as a follow-up called Night of the Living Dead 3D: Reanimation. To put it bluntly, they were not great. De Soto has the power of time and quality on his side, though. He has a solid cast, consisting of Bollywood star R. Madhavan, and a slew of B-movie horror favorites, like Tom Sizemore, Tony Todd (who was actually in Tom Savini's 1990 remake), Danielle Harris, Sydney Tamiia Poitier, Bill Mosley, Sarah Habel and Joseph Pilato battling the zombies. And when I say time, I mean that we are now in the hey-day of zombie-themed programming. Romero's classic created the modern zombies that we see dragging their weary limbs across our televisions and theater screens today, so a lot of people might be interested in seeing the story of "where it all began," so to speak. Granted, we might also be nearing the edge of peak zombie saturation, and yet another zombie movie, especially an unoriginal remake (that's not even the first remake), may not go over so well. Per Deadline, Night of the Living Dead: Origins 3D is scheduled to crawl out of the grave and into theaters in October 2014.
Movie About Movie Theaters Offered Free to Movie Theaters
Movie Houses of Worship By Christopher Campbell on March 23, 2013 | Be the First To CommentAs you may know from our weekly Movie Houses of Worship feature, we love to celebrate cinemas and the act of seeing films on the big screen. Part of that column focuses on these favorite theaters' repertory programming. Most of the businesses and non-profit organizations we showcase play classic films, some of them solely doing so. And that's because so many of us like to see these oldies on the big screen and with fellow cinephiles — even titles we own on Blu-ray and/or have seen a million times. We hate to see any of these cinemas close down (see tomorrow's MHoW), and we love to see communities band together to save and re-open local theaters, both for the preservation of the history and the continued experiences that shall happen there. Fans of the feature and hopefully other readers will be interested in a new documentary titled The Rep. It's about those independent repertory houses and the struggle they deal with in order to keep the pastime of moviegoing alive. In addition to theater owners and patrons (mostly those of the Toronto Underground Cinema), the film features interviews with Kevin Smith, John Waters, George Romero and Edgar Wright. Following a world premiere last fall at the Austin Film Festival, The Rep is now ready for a theatrical release. And its distribution plan is quite uncommon: filmmaker Morgan White is offering the doc to any movie theater interested in booking it free of charge.
26 Things We Learned From the 'Night of the Living Dead' Commentary
Commentary Commentary By Jeremy Kirk on October 11, 2012 | Comments (2)October continues, and we're moving to our next batch of favorite on-screen monsters. This week we're talking about zombies and all the glorious ways George Romero changed that sub-genre forever. Originally an urban legend in Voodoo culture, the term "zombie" was forever married to an image of mobs of the undead searching for flesh to sink their rotting teeth into. It's a friendly image, no doubt. We've already turned our eardrums over what Romero had to say on the commentary track for Dawn of the Dead, the sequel to this groundbreaking classic, but now we're going back to the source. This time around, Romero has brought along two members of the cast and his co-writer, John Russo, so the conversation should be a bit livelier than creatures they all had a hand in creating on screen. So here we go, all 26 things we learned from the commentary track for Night of the Living Dead.
Movie House of Worship: Toronto's TIFF Bell Lightbox
Movie Houses of Worship By Alexander Huls on September 16, 2012 | Comments (3)"Movie House of Worship" is a regular feature spotlighting our favorite movie theaters around the world, those that are like temples of cinema catering to the most religious-like film geeks. This week we look at a currently relevant but always excellent movie house in Canada. If you'd like to suggest or submit a place you regularly worship at the altar of cinema, please email our weekend editor. Name: TIFF Bell Lightbox Location: 350 King Street West, Toronto, Ontario, Canada Opened: September 12, 2010, as the official hub and screening venue for the Toronto International Film Festival, as well as the home for TIFF programming and events throughout the year. The theater is located in and part of a newly constructed complex. No. of screens: 5 Current first run titles: For the past ten days, the 2012 festival has naturally monopolized the theater's screens, but starting Friday, September 21st, there is Beasts of the Southern Wild, Tabu and the new Canadian releases Laurence Anyways and Rebelle.
40 Things We Learned From the 'Dawn of the Dead' Commentary
Commentary Commentary By Jeremy Kirk on March 1, 2012 | Comments (1)Zombies! Of all the movie about the walking dead, one of them continuously appears on the best of lists time after time after time. Okay, maybe more than one of them shows up all the time, but this one's considered by many to be the best of them. I'm inclined to agree. George Romero's Dawn of the Dead is more than just an improved follow-up to 1968's Night of the Living Dead. It the film that made living in a zombie apocalypse fun. It's the film that really introduced us to what Tom Savini could do with some plaster and a machete. It's the high watermark for epic, zombie storytelling, and, for 34 years, no film has come close to topping it. Who better to take us through Dawn of the Dead and show us how it all came to be than Romero, Savini, and George's wife, Christine, who served as assistant director on the film. The commentary on this Anchor Bay Divimax is moderated by the DVD's producer, not something we've come across before in this column. It could be a nice, organized way to handle information from the commentators. It could be such a slog it makes us wish Hell would run out of room. However the path it takes to get here, here are all the things we learned listening to George & Chris Romero and Tom Savini talk about Dawn of the Dead.
Dead Geek Walking: Becoming a Zombie for Mondo's Dawn of the Dead Celebration
Features By Brian Salisbury on November 1, 2011 | Comments (1)It's rare that uttering the phrase, "we're watching The Exorcist" would be laden with arrogance. Prior to the inception of Mondo News, the indescribably cool Alamo Drafthouse offshoot and purveyor of unbelievable movie posters and tee-shirts, few situations would have arisen for those words to have adopted their arrogant new subtext. But that was before Mondo's Mystery Screenings turned everyone into detectives. The basic idea behind the Mondo Mystery Screening is that you buy a ticket for the screening of an undisclosed film; your admission also securing you an extremely limited-edition Mondo poster of said film. It's a bit of a gamble because you are paying top dollar for a poster sight-unseen not knowing A.) whether you'll like the poster or B.) whether you even like the film its celebrating. Mondo goes to impressive lengths to keep the showcased films and the corresponding posters hidden from the public until they've gathered at the Drafthouse. But this time around, Mondo Mystery Screening IX was taking place at an off-site location which, just days before the event, was revealed to be a church. Prior to that announcement, all we had to go on was that the screening was touted as the biggest event Mondo had ever conceived. Ravenously, we purchased our tickets and, upon hearing that the screening would be taking place at a church, found the words "we're watching The Exorcist" escaping our lips with misplaced self-satisfaction. So certain were we that we had decrypted the Mondo cipher that we completely […]
44 Things We Learned From the 'Shaun of the Dead' Commentary
Commentary Commentary By Jeremy Kirk on October 20, 2011 | Be the First To CommentShuffle. Shuffle. Groan. Crawl. Shuffle. And commentary on all of it. It's the Halloween season, so you know the zombie movies are out there in force. But we always like a few lot of laughs with our scares. What better movie to dish out both of those along with an ample helping of heart – figurative heart, as in emotion, not actual bloody hearts being tossed about, though we have that here, too – than Edgar Wright's Shaun of the Dead? What's even better, Wright has brought along a familiar and jovial voice to help him recollect some of the fun and interesting times on set. Simon Pegg is helping out with the color commentary, that color being red more than likely. So it's time to head on down to the Winchester – provided they have a DVD player – grab a pint and your best cricket bat, watch the ball go from bat to wicket – that's a cricket reference just to show I know a thing or two. That's two things. I'm out. – and hear what Edgar Wright and Simon Pegg have to say in this week's Commentary Commentary. Shuffle. Crawl. Shuffle. Groan. Brains.
Vintage Trailer of the Day: Night of the Living Dead (1968)
Features By Scott Beggs on May 3, 2011 | Be the First To Comment"They're coming to get you Barbra!" This movie is a lesson to never, ever abide your elderly mother's wishes and visit your father's grave hundreds of miles away. If you do, you'll get eaten to death. Or, you'll have to hole up in a farmhouse that's slowly but surely becoming overrun with the hungry undead. Night of the Living Dead is the first film from George A. Romero, the one that started a massive genre craze, the movie with working titles like Night of Anubis and Night of the Flesh Eaters and Monster Flick. It was a case of accidental racial and social commentary that has resonated throughout decades. It is the standard for how zombies should look and act like. Yet, for some strange reason, it doesn't have a pie fight.
31 Days of Horror: The Crazies (2010)
31 Days of Horror By Robert Fure on October 16, 2010 | Comments (4)When the calendar page turns to October, we Rejects have only one thought: horror. To celebrate this grandest and darkest of months, we'll cover one excellent horror film a day for the entirety of the month. That's 31 Days of Horror and 31 Films perfect for viewing on a dark, chilly, October night. If you, like us, love horror and Halloween, give us a Hell Yeah and keep coming every day this month for a new dose of adrenaline. Synopsis: A small town is turned upside down when a military spawned virus is accidentally released into their water supply, turning them into raging, blood thirsty crazies with little regard for human life. With no way of stopping the assault, Sheriff Dutton attempts to lead a small group of survivors out of town. Killer Scene: Things get pretty intense inside of a car wash and people you've picked to survive drop like flies throughout the story, though the best scene for my money is the ending scene. Sheriff Dutton and his wife have finally made it to the military rendezvous point and discover just how the government planned on dealing with any survivors. While deciding what to do, the group is attacked by three crazed bikers leading to an epic battle in a trucking garage.
If Your College Doesn't Offer Zombie 101, You Should Transfer
Movie News By Scott Beggs on September 9, 2010 | Comments (8)It doesn't matter if you're this close to graduating, and you've finally "found yourself." Unless you're going to the University of Baltimore, you have to admit that your school doesn't have the stones to create a class called "Zombie 101″ where you learn to survive a Zombie Apocalypse. If your brain gets eaten soon, it'll be their fault. Because, yes, the University of Baltimore has created just such a class.
On a recent trip to Ogden Marsh, we drank the water, lost our minds, and reviewed the Blu-ray of one of 2010s Best Horror Films – The Crazies, starring Rob Hunter's boyfriend Timothy Olyphant.

George Romero Covering Dario Argento: Not Just Another Remake
Movie News By J.L. Sosa on May 19, 2010 | Comments (3)When I first heard that George Romero was going to remake Dario Argento's Deep Red in 3-D, I was pissed. My initial reaction was a typical knee-jerk lament: "Hollywood has run out of ideas." That's my usual statement whenever I hear that yet another classic horror film is slated for a remake.

Interview: The Crazies Director Breck Eisner
Features By Neil Miller on February 26, 2010 | Comments (2)Early this morning — about 10 am, which is early to any movie blogger — I sat down with director Breck Eisner to talk about The Crazies. It was a unique situation for both of us. I had spent 4 of the last 12 hours of my life running a crash-course on the 27-year existence of The Crazies, watching both George Romero's 1973 original and Eisner's remake seemingly back-to-back. For Eisner, today is opening day.
We have one (1) prize pack of four original George Romero film including – Dawn of the Dead, Day of the Dead, Season of the Witch and the original The Crazies. Who wants it?
Photo Gallery: Get The Full Experience with The Crazies
Movie News By Neil Miller on February 16, 2010 | Comments (1)In early February, we debuted three exclusive new photos from the upcoming Breck Eisner directed remake of George Romero's The Crazies. In fact, I noticed that more than a few sites debuted photos over the past few weeks. There were a lot of images floating around, but they all resided in different places around the web. Now that Overture Films has released their final press kit, we have all of the photos from The Crazies — in one place. Now you can see some of the scary ones, the funny ones and the ones with the ever-lovely Radha Mitchell. The Crazies is in theaters February 26, 2010.

What's the biggest crowd you've ever played for?
Gee...lately, that would have been last week, for the City Park Series. The organizers estimated about 5,000 folks. What a blast!
Favorite places to play?
As Scotty says, "I'll play anywhere, anytime!" We all agree. It's such a gift to be able to move people with what you love to do. And then they give us money! Yes!
Why music?
Any person who truly has it in their soul will find a way to get it out. Genre doesn't matter. Race and color don't matter. Blind or deaf, doesn't matter. It will get out.
If not music, what else?
Something creative.
What band names were left on the cutting-room floor in favor of your current one?
Since E's been doing it for so long, how about "Shakin' That Moneymaker?" (grin...) Actually, none, really. The band was the Love Bandits for a while, but we changed it to just Erica Brown Band.
Funniest/strangest gig story -- local?
It's not a gig story, but when Erica did her Maris the Great interview.
Funniest/weirdest gig story -- on tour?
Probably doing three shows over two states in fourteen hours.
Worst gig?
The worst day playing beats the best day working.
What do you love about the local scene?
We think three things. The support of our fans! When they love you, they love you! The diversity of the scene here. We've all been to local shows from opera to Yo, Flaco! to GT and the Sidewinders to Sam Mayfield. The fact that local acts get airplay here. KUVO, KRFX, The Mountain, KBCO, KGOAT, KGNU -- all the regional radio stations support us.
What bugs you about the local scene?
The lack of blues venues. Denver has a thriving blues scene, but not enough places dedicated to blues. So we go anywhere we can to play. It makes for an interesting playing experience -- especially if you play somewhere that normally doesn't book blues and then you bowl them over.
What's the biggest misconception about your band/act?
That E is a lot younger than she looks. That Scotty was bald, even as a child.
Any random facts we should know?
E is a lot younger than she looks. Scotty was bald, even as a child.
Avalanche or Broncos?
Both. Why not? They are all sports entertainers who give the best they've got each time they do it.
Parting shot/final comments?
We'll let each person fill in the blanks: The EBB are...?
v8 P.M., ACOMA CENTER
And you are...?
The Fray.
How long has your act been together?
Two years.
What are some of your noteworthy recent feats?
Nominated Best New Band of 2003 by Westword. Recorded in KBCO Studio C. Headlined the Gothic Theatre with 400-plus crowd.
Recent recordings of note?
Reason EP.
How do you pay the bills? What are your day jobs?
Three of the members run their own businesses. Dan is a cab driver; he works for Yellow Cab. Isaac's company, Filament Productions, produces a TV show called the Noise Floor (www.noisefloordenver.com). And Joe runs a combination wholesale/retail company and deals in investments and real estate; he also has a travel-agency business. The remaining two members are currently in college.
What's the biggest crowd you've ever played for?
The largest crowd was 50,000-ish. However, they were running by, because it was during the Bolder Boulder. In reality, a show with a crowd coming to see us perform: roughly 500 people.
Favorite places to play?
Gothic Theatre, Fox Theatre.
Why music?
It's something we all have done for most of our lives. We all want this to happen; we want music to be a career that has the means to maintain an enjoyable life and family, because we love it. Reality is harsh, but it is certainly more devastating to a person who doesn't pursue what they love to do.
What band names were left on the cutting-room floor in favor of your current one?
Belladonna and Stratford.
Funniest/strangest gig story -- local?
The funniest gig was for a local film production that wanted a real-life battle of the bands scene featured in their movie. We were the last band; we were supposed to close the night out in a specific time slot. There were some delays over the course of the night. And by the time we were set up and ready to perform, they signaled to us that we had five minutes left. We all lost it, started one song.
Funniest/weirdest gig story -- on tour?
We performed at a wedding in Evergreen that paid very well. The bride and groom were from Wyoming, so the only music they -- and everyone else there -- knew was country. So we pulled out "Freebird" and good old "Sweet Home Alabama" for an hour or so. They loved those two songs and stared at us for the rest of the set.
Worst gig?
Virgin Megastore. They set us up in the middle of the store, which was completely awkward. Nothing went right.

Mr. Morrison, I do not read in the New Testament that Jesus saidhe was not good. What I read there is that he said, "Why do you call me good? No one is good except God." I take that to mean he was inviting his interlocutor to draw the conclusion that he was God. Your inferring that I implied that women are inferior to men is something I deem insulting to me, as well as vastly mistaken about what I meant. But now that I'm here: objecting to the Church's regulations being made, and her doctrines taught, by men is a reasonable attitude only if the doctrines are false or the regulations are an unreasonable imposition. If the doctrines are true and the regulations reasonable, the men apparently did not need to draw on women's higher talents to help them in teaching and regulating. The only other basis for such objections would be either a belief that doctrines taught mainly by women would be even more true and their regulations even more reasonable, or the belief that the Church ought to let women make up false doctrines (on the presumption that she lets men do that) and impose arbitrary regulations. Why any rational woman would want that kind of power, I myself would not presume to say. I think that a highly sexist defender of the Church might be tempted to suggest that so far as Church regulations merely reflect purely male preference, it is a preference for limited and strictly necessary regulation. Have any of you who object to priests and bishops making regulations ever actually read the Code of Canon Law? Not that I have, either.

Mr. Burke, when people express themselves akwardly, it is usually because they are on shaky ground. Your thinly veiled not so subtle inference that because most women are neither holy or virginal, a la the Virgin Mary, they are inferior to men, and deserve to be treat as second class persons by any person or group, including the Roman Catholic Church ,besides being disgustingly chauvanistic, is also flawed from a theological standpoint. When Jesus was on earth in human form, because He was, at that time, vulnerable as any other physical being to temptation, pain, etc, Jesus declared that he was not good, let alone Holy. Jesus was able to minister effectively because, despite the fact that He was vulnerable to temptation, pain, and all other things to which physical beings are vulnerable, Jesus was able to remain faithful to God, who is Holy. As a result Jesus was able to do the things He did by the power of the Holy Spirit, not because He was Holy at that point in His existence. Hence Jesus' assertion that He was not good, let alone Holy, at that point. Consequently, how can the Catholic Church's claim that the Virgin Mary was Holy be substantiated. Mary was blessed, for sure, but she was no Holier that you or I.

I've put it awkwardly so far, but my point really is simply that the power of the Catholic Church is the power of a mother -- which is what the church claims to be -- over her sons. That power (I believe) is greater than the power of mothers over their daughters, as attested by the attitude of the Church's more modernist daughters, who tend to favour their father. The truth is not that the Church is subject to men because of men's preferences but rather that men obey the Church because she claims to teach them truth objectively: it is more likely to be women than men whose strongest expression of disapproval will simply be "I don't like it!" with considerable emphasis on the word "like."

"...and none of the reasons are healthy." Name one or two? Since the Church cannot compel women (or men) to belong to it, it hasn't any real power over them, so therefore its organization, which is chiefly a teaching authority which mostly its regulations confirm, is not essentially a "power structure." So far as it has power, that power consists in the ability to convince parents they ought to bring up their children in the Church. That abiity rests in the Church's teaching authority, not in its regulations. Mothers are more importantly parental than fathers, as is suggested in the difference between the words "mothering" and "fathering". So far as the Church as any power, then, it resides in Catholic mothers. That means "motherhood in fact is the power structure" of the Catholic Church, as I first suggested.

Mr. Burke, I know of not one rule, or dogma of the Catholic Church and there are hundreds if not thousands, made by a woman, not one. Your inability to identify even one , demonstrates my point. Men make the rules women obey. I never said women are compelled against their will to belong to the Catholic Church, I said they are prevented from belonging to the power structure of the church and that is bigotry. Why women want to belong to the church in the first place is a separate issue entirely and none of the reasons are healthy . Mr. Burke, the fact that the Bible was written exclusively by men and the Christian god is two thirds male and one third spirit should say something to you about how Christianity and the Catholic Church view women. Doug Smith, GFW

- April 16, 2012 - 16:15
OK, Mr. Smith, if what I said is demonstrably false, show me how you demonstrate its falsity: Prove by logical argument, instead of just saying so, that the making of regulations by priests, bishops, cardinals and popes compels women against their will to belong to the Catholic Church and to endorse its teaching on the value of motherhood instead of allowing women as freely as men to accept the authority and doctrines of that Church; please proceed. Awaiting that demonstration, I retain the view that people have more choice about belonging to the Church than about working for a capitalist employer.

Women have demonstrated immense power and leadership in every aspect of human social development history, from the beginning to this day. They've just been too busy to realize, or demand adequate, rightful, appropriate recognition of their true roles in too many instances. With respect, I suggest , they silently stood-by, through history, with some rare exceptions, not demanding the worth of their roles in the evolution of of social and political history. Thay just haven't demanded recognition and notoriety associated with these successes as males have through time. Tthey just don't exert that power en-mass. In this 21st. century, while sad, they should, again, take a page from history and stand up for their rights to full equal, social participation in anything (in its limitedless, broadest definition) in which human participation is the only expectation. In this context of Augusta's female- anachronistic policy of exclusion should be 'outed' as a scar on the face of human social development.. Are there woman who can equally compete with Masters' level of play'? I have no idea...but personally, I think the possibility is there in some instances. But why not have a women's Master's tournament? There is no reason...the course is there, a beautiful course, which is the real attraction for most arm-chair golfers, like me. Otherwise, on the social level, I think it is a scar on the face of the Master's organization to have such a female-exclusionary policy.

Mr. Burke, your comment, "Motherhood in fact is the power structure of the Catholic Church," is demonstrably and factually incorrect. How many rules and regulations of the Catholic Church have been made by women and how many have been made by priests, bishops, cardinals, popes? Perhaps you should ask yourself why you are having such a tough time dealing with reality. Remember, the truth will set you free. Doug Smith, GFW

- Colin Burke
- April 16, 2012 - 06:55
A further remark, Mr. Smith: Motherhood in fact is "the power structure" of the Catholic Church; her priests have not power but authority, which even those Catholics who are most "progressive" can disobey with far more impunity than they could the requirements of capitalist employment or the government's policies in education, which the best educated professional teachers can only grumble about in private because the system which teaches "free enterprise" is not itself a free enterprise as any family farm would be where a mother could teach her children the real worth of farming to the family.

Hi, fellas. It is not the Catholic Church which teaches, nor I who feel, that the role of mothers is only to be "baby-making machines" producing pupils for professional educators to profit from. It is the modern progressive feminist who assumes that. The Church teaches, and I feel, that every mother ought to be as well qualified to teach her own children as any three highly educated nuns. I am grateful for my own mother's having influenced me to " try out," which it turned out was all I was really capable of doing, for the Catholic priesthood, which resulted in my learning much from male role models really admirable who admired womanhood. My two years in a seminary did much to remedy assumptions inculcated by the "Catholic" education system too much dominated by the Newfoundland government.

Mr. Burke, why did you put the word , discriminating, in quotes? According to the dictionary, discrimination is the making of a distinction in favour of or against, a person or thing based on the group, class or category to which that person or thing belongs rather than on individual merit. Therefore , Mr. Burke, when the Catholic Church will not allow women to be part of the power structure of the church simply because they are women, the Catholic Church is guilty of discrimination in its worst form. Because women can bear children which men can't is not a reason to bar women from the power structure of the church. Women are quite capable of doing both tasks. As regards the church being necessary for the forgiveness of injustices, the best thing the church could do is stop creating so many crimes against humanity. Doug Smith, GFW

Mr. Burke. When I was in seminary at two different theological schools, three of most caple teachers I had the priviledge of studying under three women who were Roman Catholic Sisters. These women were intelligent, well-educated, and, in general terms fine human beings I was priviledged th know. I wonder how they would feel about your assertion that the most important role that women play in our society, the only thing women are good for, is to play the role as baby-making machines.

I am not convinced, nor does it seem that women today are, of the argument that a woman's place is in the home popping out babies. With the world population at 7 billion it is probably time to decrease the world population through attrition and not have women have excessive births in order to keep up the numbers in any country or religious denomination. I think it highly immoral to box up any human being while they are still alive. Women, today, ought to be able to play all the golf they want to, better that than men killing themselves off with wars to serve the wealthy. Wars never resolve anything except to keep hatreds and fears alive, at least golf is healthy.

- April 14, 2012 - 22:29
Mr. Smith, the Catholic Church in "discriminating" against women says in effect that the only thing women can do that men cannot is quite as important to the Church as anything it needs men to do. Does any other modern institution insist that that is so, or even admit that it might be? Do you? Though it hasn't been taught lately thus explicitly, the real reason bearing children is of paramount importance is that it is utterly necessary to the continued doing of justice by material beings in a material universe, to which the Church's being necessary for the forgiveness of injustices might well be deemed secondary. Having women play golf, Ms. Frampton, is nowhere near even secondary to either of those necessities.

Dear Political Watcher The take back the night march is women's way of saying "no more" to any form of violence against women. As a man, I am fully aware that while I can empathize with women who are victims of abuse at the hands of men, I cannot possibly fully appreciate the impact that such abuse, has on any woman,in the same way as a woman who has been abused by a man can. Expecting me to be able to do so would be the equivalent of expectring me to fully appreciate what it feels like for a woman to experience labour pains. Comparing the exclusion of women from participatipn in a golf tournament, which is clearly an act of discrimmination, to the exclusion of men from the take back the night march, which is understandable under the circumstances I have cited, is at best an example of comparing chalk to cheese

Ms. Frampton, you claim that in the 21st. Century it is hard to understand that intelligent men and women still support clubs that have " No girls allowed" signs on the door. Well it doesn't surprise me at all. The largest discriminator against women, the Catholic Church, (only men can be priests, bishops, cardinals, pope) continues to get support from women. What do you have to say about that? Doug Smith,GFW

Do-ahead mashed potatoes to save time and sanity
By SARA MOULTON The Associated Press November 13, 2013 1:16PM
This Oct. 21, 2013 photo shows make-ahead light mashed potatoes in Concord, N.H. The potatoes are mashed and cooked without any seasonings or dairy the day before, and then stored in the refrigerator. When they are ready to serve, they are nuked and the dairy is added at the last minute. (AP Photo/Matthew Mead)
Start to finish: 1 day plus 1 hour and 20 minutes (20 minutes active)
Servings: 10
10 small to medium russet potatoes (about 5 pounds)1 to 1
1/2 cups low-fat milk 1 cup reduced-fat sour cream 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into 8 chunks Salt and ground black pepper, to taste
Heat the oven to 400 F.
Prick the potatoes in several places. Place the potatoes on a rimmed baking sheet and bake on the oven's middle shelf until a knife goes through with no resistance, about 45 to 50 minutes. After they are baked, cut the potatoes in half lengthwise and set aside to cool for 5 minutes.
Use a spoon to scoop out the pulp from each potato half and transfer it, in batches, to a ricer or a food mill fitted with the finest blade. Force the potatoes through the ricer or mill into a microwave-safe bowl. Let cool, then cover and refrigerate.
Just before serving, microwave the potatoes, covered loosely with plastic wrap, for 2 minutes. Stir and heat for another minute. Repeat the procedure until the potatoes are hot. Stir in 1 cup of the milk, the sour cream, the butter, and salt and pepper to taste, then heat for another minute, or until hot.

One of the most stressful parts of hosting a large dinner party is figuring out how to time everything so all the food arrives at the table piping hot and at its prime.
This is especially true of Thanksgiving — the dinner party to end all dinner parties! Getting everything timed right is a crazy juggling act, even if you make good use of the turkey resting time (that 30-minute period between when the turkey comes out of the oven and when it is ready to be carved) to finish prepping the other dishes.
Traditional mashed potatoes pose a special problem. You can try making them ahead of time, then reheating them at the last minute, but then they tend to taste stale. Theoretically, you can make them from scratch as the clock ticks down, but good luck pulling that rabbit out of a hat while you're simultaneously whipping up a pan gravy and finishing off your sides in a kitchen full of hovering relatives.
Here's my solution — cook and mash the potatoes without any seasonings or dairy the day before, then pop them in the refrigerator. When you're ready to serve them, nuke them and add the dairy at the last minute.
Why does this work? Because it's the reheated butter and milk or cream than causes the off flavors. Leave those out until the potatoes are already reheated and you're good to go.
Which potato to use when making mashed potatoes? Once upon a time there was only one answer: the russet. It is high in starch and gets fluffy when cooked. In recent years, though, some folks have begun to swear by the Yukon gold, a medium-starch spud with a buttery hue.

Advocates Struggle to Keep Animal Insulin
How do you get a giant pharmaceutical company to listen? Make a lot of noise, say the founders of three patient advocate groups that formed when animal insulins were pulled from the market in Europe and North America.
Novo Nordisk spokesperson Susan Jackson claims that company "policies on insulin have not been impacted by patient advocacy groups." Dr. Matthew Kiln, London physician and co-founder of England's two-year-old Insulin Dependent Diabetes Trust (IDDT), thinks differently.
When IDDT organizers circulated surveys from 600 patients who said they had experienced problems with human insulin, Dr. Kiln believes Novo, which sold $1.2 billion worth of diabetes care products in 1995, had no choice but to respond-they promised to keep animal insulin on the market for at least the next five years. "Before, they hadn't made any guarantees," he said.
"The drug company is in an awkward position," Dr. Kiln added, "if they withdraw animal insulin now they'll have egg on their faces." That was the plan all along, he says-"to make sure that animal insulin is still available."
This is the common cause that unites these three independent groups: the IDDT, the Canadian Committee for Diabetic Rights and the Swiss Patients Association for Preserving Natural Insulin. All believe that human insulin may have serious side-effects for some people. But it's not so much the potential risks associated with human insulin that drives these activists; it's more their firm belief that people with diabetes should be informed and have a choice. It shouldn't be the drug companies that decide which insulin you inject.
Home-Bottling in Berne
"We do not want to be overrun by human insulin," said Dr. Arthur Teuscher, a long-time Swiss physician who founded the Swiss Patients Association in 1989 for fear that animal insulin would be eliminated entirely in Switzerland.
Dr. Teuscher, who has over 40 years of experience with all different kinds of insulin, believes human insulin is to blame for hypoglycemia unawareness-an abrupt onset of hypoglycemia without the typical warning signs. As the first physician in the world to switch his patients from animal to human insulins, Dr. Teuscher was particularly dismayed to find that 36 percent of his patients suffered such a loss in warning symptoms when they took human insulin.
Having experienced a whole host of troubles after switching, one disgruntled patient who had been using animal insulin for 20 years stormed into Dr. Teuscher's office, slammed a vial of human insulin on his desk and said, "I've had enough of this stuff. I want my old insulin back!" After this particular incident, Dr. Teuscher said, many patients came forward with similar complaints.
So when Novo Nordisk, which enjoys a 95 percent share of the Swiss insulin market, pulled the only short-acting animal insulin in cartridges for use in a pen, Dr. Teuscher did not wait to respond.
Why not bottle our own animal insulin, he thought? Using Novo Nordisk animal insulin (still available in vials) and emptied pen cartridges, Dr. Teuscher and his Swiss Patients Association began preparing animal insulin for use in pens at a university pharmacy in Berne.
Logistics are tough, he says-home-bottling is "a little medieval"-but Dr. Teuscher hopes to demonstrate to the drug companies that the need for animal insulin exists. Roughly 60 percent of Europe's insulin users rely on pens to inject insulin, compared to only 1 percent in the U.S., according to a Knight-Ridder business report. "We cannot wait until an insulin disappears; we have to start early to pressure insulin manufacturers to keep making animal insulin," Dr. Teuscher said.
He admits that the majority of Switzerland's 40,000 people with diabetes who use human insulin say they have no problems. But he wonders if these people might notice a change for the better if they switched to animal insulin. "There are more severe hypoglycemic episodes now with human insulin than in the old days" when animal insulin was the mainstay of insulin regimens, Dr. Teuscher said. "We want to warn people who do not tolerate human insulin. We want to protect the interests of our patients."
Making a Case for Animal Insulin in Canada
Patient advocates in Canada believe there is power in numbers. Teaming up with their country's largest diabetes organization has given the Committee for Diabetic Rights (CDR) the money and manpower they lacked on their own.
When animal ultralente was pulled from the market in Canada, CDR advocates vigorously lobbied the Canadian Diabetes Association (CDA) to put pressure on the drug companies and to recognize the potential risks associated with human insulin.
Though animal ultralente is still unavailable in Canada, Jaqui Roland, co-founder of the CDR, regards CDA's willingness to work with their organization as a success in and of itself. "The CDA has acknowledged that human insulin has side-effects. They acknowledge that there is validity in our belief that not all diabetics should be switched to (human insulin)," she said. The CDA was also won over to the CDR's assertion that both animal and human insulins should remain available, Roland added.
Working together has meant publishing articles about the human and animal insulin debate in the CDA's publication, Canadian Diabetes, which has a nationwide circulation of 5,000. "The biggest thing is dissemination of information; there just has to be more of that," Roland said. "A lot of people would get involved if they knew more. That's why we work with the CDA."
What really irks Roland is the fact that Novo Nordisk, also the main supplier of insulin in Canada, keeps a stash of animal ultralente available only to people who provide a letter from their physician. This proves the drug company's awareness of the insulin's value, she says, and yet they still keep it off pharmacy shelves because it may not be profitable.
"Novo Nordisk knows there are problems for people who want to use animal insulin, but they say (its removal) is strictly a financial decision," a frustrated Roland said.
Getting the Word Out
Newsletters are a popular way for these activist organizations to reach the masses. The IDDT publishes a glossy, 16-page quarterly newsletter about the latest happenings in diabetes and sends it to some 800 subscribers, according to Dr. Kiln.
The newsletter "has been extremely informative," says Liverpool subscriber John Carrier, who has had diabetes for 25 years. Carrier said he suffered from bouts of hypoglycemia unawareness when he switched to human insulin, but his doctors refused to acknowledge that the insulin might have something to do with it. "The medical profession was turning around and saying to me `it's your problem; you're doing something wrong.'" He said he had to beg his doctors to put him back on animal insulin.
Tired of having his concerns ignored or, worse yet, ridiculed, Carrier was thrilled to find out about the IDDT. "The newsletter was like a breath of fresh air. They knew the problems I was having. There was somebody out there listening to what I was saying," he said.
Wanting to share the new-found information source, Carrier tried to distribute the newsletter at a local diabetes clinic, but a disapproving nurse confiscated them. "She told me she had 15 years of professional experience with diabetes, but I said 'that's fine, but do you have diabetes?'"
Dr. Kiln said this hostile attitude to the IDDT is not uncommon among the medical establishment. "They think we're trouble makers. They think we're trying to get human insulin off the market, which isn't the case at all," he said, adding that clinics won't allow them to put up posters saying that there may be problems with human insulin.
It's not as though Dr. Kiln, who also has diabetes, is a radical. He served on a team of researchers investigating potential problems with human insulin for the British Diabetes Association (BDA). When the BDA disbanded this committee, Kiln co-founded the IDDT because he knew the important questions had not been answered.
He knew from personal experience. Kiln said he nearly died a few times after suffering from severe nighttime hypoglycemic attacks while using human insulin. "After a year with human insulin, my control became worse and worse, but my diabetes specialist didn't seem to think there was a problem." Luckily, as a physician, Dr. Kiln could take matters into his own hands. "I just changed myself back (to animal insulin) and found that things got much better."
He knows that not everyone is so lucky; they can't diagnose and prescribe for themselves. For this reason, getting the word out to as many people as possible, educating them about the disease and its treatments, is of utmost importance.
All three groups, which rely on volunteer help, have been savvy about spreading the news. Dr. Teuscher's Swiss Patient's Association also publishes a regular newsletter, called The Free Choice of Insulin, which goes out the group's 300 members.
Roland said her Canadian organization was originally formed to contact only people affected by the withdrawal of animal ultralente. Later they expanded their focus to include all of Canada's 20,000 animal insulin users.
By broadening their scope, they attracted more interest. She hopes more people with diabetes get involved and exert their influence as consumers. "Today it's animal ultralente," Roland said. "But who knows what it is tomorrow? It could be your kind of insulin."

Opinions wanted: how can Acquia's Drupal documentation rock more?
Acquia's documentation team would like to do all we can to help make your Drupal experience a success.
We currently provide online documentation and downloadable PDFs. Take this survey and help us improve our existing documentation and meet your future Drupal documentation needs.
Click here to take the survey.
Thank you for taking the time to help us help you!
I was a little surprised to see the Webform module in Acquia Drupal (as the author you think I'd know these things!) But now that's it's part of Acquia Drupal, I'm even more disappointed to not see it used for Acquia's own surveys. The continued use of Survey Monkey is a vote of non-confidence in Drupal, Webform, and Acquia's own product.
Something not right with Webform? Patches accepted.
Nate, thanks for your input. Perhaps we should make it clearer, but Acquia Drupal a just particular, useful packaging of modules that are already on d.o. Acquia doesn't charge for Acquia Drupal itself, or the contrib modules within. Acquia Drupal is freely available, as is our documentation, even without a subscription to Acquia Network. And we're surprised that you were surprised about the inclusion of webform, since we email all the included modules' maintainers before putting out each Acquia Drupal release.
As far as confidence in Drupal, we use Drupal for acquia.com, for our tech support systems, for our company intranet, for tracking our hiring process, etc. Plenty of confidence there. However, we don't require everyone at Acquia to use Drupal for every job. People having different preferences in tools is a reasonable thing, and has the benefit of keeping us aware of the continually improving landscape of options.

Comes in a really classy simple glass bottle with a black cap 😍
Coverage: medium, build-able, feels a bit heavy on skin
Finish: dewy,
Staying power: not so much, gets oily after 4-5 hours on my combination skin specially on my t-zone
Shade: matches my skin tone quite well
Price: affordable
Although it's a good product, I wouldn't buy it again, there are many other better foundations.
I bought this foundation because when you're as pale as I am, getting a drug store foundation can be challenging. I had a sales rep at Shoppers help me go through all the available foundations, and this was the only one I matched to.
It has a really nice slip to it, that makes for a great application. I have been applying it with either the UD optical blurring brush, or the Sigma synthetic flat top brush, both of these work great!
The finish is on the glowy side, which is normally something I am not fond of, but with this it really grew on me. And if you decide you want a matte finish, just go over it with a powder similar to Rimmel stay matte! It's hydrating also, so I think this will work better during winter!
The staying power of this foundation unfortunately is just okay. That's the one big thing that gets me down, after a while I will notice it disappearing in certain areas (nose, chin ect)
As for the coverage! It's a light but completely buildable coverage. On days where im in a rush I just put one thin coat and im good, but when I need more coverage I layer it and can easily achieve a medium coverage.
I'm on the fence on if I'll repurchase because of the staying power. I'm just not someone who carries it around for touch ups. But, it does work half decently, and it is also very very affordable. Its worth a try! I do think it would be better used in winter, as it is glowy and the heat and humidity effects the staying power as well!!
More reviews by whimsicalcreature
I can't stand this product.
It's completely horrible, it's badly packaged, messy, and horrible to use in the summer or spring..
It melts off my face even with a primer, and it breaks me out so bad.
it makes my skin shiny, greasy, patchy looking and completely disgusting.
it covers nothing and just looks like I can't do my makeup.
Using a real techique brush; or my fingers.
I use UD setting spray, and nope.
Still sucks.
Maybe I'll keep it till fall and see if it's better, but I don't think it'll be that much better.
I can't believe how much I love this product and I've only had it for less than a week. I can't stop raving about it to my friends and encouraging them to get it. I religiously use Bobbi brown liquid skin foundation 3.5 and I was drawn to this foundation after reading great reviews from a popular local makeup artist and she was absolutely right, you are guaranteed to find your color because they have such a wide selection (mine was 235) and it's so light on the skin and gives it a lovely glow. One thing though it does oxidize into a darker shade, I didn't mind it because I actually looked better and it's not that noticeable, but if you don't like that you can just get a lighter shade.
3 out of 3 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
This product is great! Although it does have some downsides to it
extremely cheap ($5.99 at my local target)
color variety, many colors and shades to choose from
easy to apply due to its liquid form (not a thick foundation at all)
great dewy glow for those with normal to dry skin (would not recommend a liquid foundation to those with oily skin)
no smell, reason I put this as a pro is due to the fact that some makeup products smell like complete crap
not heavy, great to use as everyday wear
a little to watery (aka light wearing) for my liking, if you are new to makeup a light product like this is great for you
glitter, once I used my stippling brush to apply this to my face I noticed random shiny glitter like particles on my face, and no this is not mistaken for they dewy effect
no pump, this product can actually be difficult to get the perfect amount because there is no pump (hence only 4 stars in packaging)
all together this is a good drugstore product and I wouldn't mind wearing this everyday.
I just love this foundation!!!!!!!!!!! I havent even owned it for a week and i am in love with it. It was very cheap, only $17.00, and the packaging is amazing. I brought it in shade #120 and it fits me perfectly.
The first day i used it, i did apply my Maybelline BB cream over top of it, but today i used the foundation by itself. It goes on so well, blends easily, i dont get lines, it doesnt peel off. When i came home i expected it to not look so good, but it looked amazing. It looked so natural.
I would buy this again. I recomend it once you find your perfect shade
This was a disappointing foundation. I purchased this after a glowing recommendation from a male youtube beauty guru's review, which said it was one of his favorite drugstore foundations. This may work well for people with dry skin in the winter, but for my dry skin in the hot and humid summer weather, this is not a good match. The 110 matched my NC15 skin very nicely, however the extremely dewy finish was not flattering and reminded me of when my skin was super oily and shiny during puberty. Another con was that it felt like it never totally set, and was still wet and streaked when I applied my under eye concealer. Save your money and do not purchase. My favorite drugstore pick is the Covergirl 3 in 1 foundation, which has beautiful coverage and dries nicely without accentuating spots or fine lines.
This foundation was half price so I decided to give it a try. I always have used Maybelline products but the dream foam was recently discontinued in Australia causing me to change. I LOVE how well the colour actually matches my skin tone perfectly and blends well with my neck. It has a light-medium coverage which you can always build up and with a bit of concealer or BB cream, covers imperfections really well. CONS: It really is NOT great for oily skin, as it applies dewy and after about 2 hours it makes the face look like it's been doused in grease. It also rubs off and transfers really easily because of the light texture. If you do purchase this product, a translucent powder on top to set it helps a lot.
This is a very good foundation for beginners and had overall good coverage. The only problem I had was finding my correct shade because most were either too light or too dark.
3 out of 3 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
If you don't mind that this product oxidizes into a darker shade (you can just get a lighter shade than your skin) it's great. Gives you an even coverage and really covers mild blemishes. If you have dry skin, I think this will make a really good cheap product, that is if you're just looking for a product to get the job done (because, again, it's pretty cheap and you get what you buy). If you live in a dry/cold area, this would be a good cheap product.
Unfortunately, if you're like me, then this product is the worst. I have really oily skin and I live in a very hot, humid region. Due to that, this product gets oily fast and it gets greasy fast. It also causes intense breakouts. I bought this as my first foundation and fell for the price as well as the coverage, but it isn't compatible with my skin. It takes a long time to set and powder doesn't seem to stop it from getting runny. It also doesn't have a pump, so it's really messy. If you have dry skin, go ahead and purchase this. If you have oily skin and/or acne, stay away from it. It isn't worth it.
