WHY HER We went Peanuts for her in Charlie Brown.
WHY NOW She's got us under her spell in Wicked.
''It's good to see me, isn't it?'' Kristin Chenoweth is suspended midair in a mechanical bubble, armed with a magic wand, a sparkling smile, and a soprano that soars far beyond the land of Oz. She's Glinda the Good Witch in Broadway's Wicked, and she's just won over the audience. ''I don't think I'll ever top that,'' says the Oklahoman, 33. Something tells us she will. She's gone from stage -- a tap-happy turn in 1998's Steel Pier, her Tony-winning Sally in 1999's You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown -- to TV's Annie and The Music Man with hardly a hitch. (Well, one hitch -- a short-lived, self-titled NBC sitcom: ''I'd do it again,'' she maintains.) She's got killer comic timing, a master's in opera, and solo album No. 2 on the way. But this Broadway baby has bigger dreams: ''I'm really interested in forensic science,'' she confesses. ''I'd love to learn about DNA and fighting crime.'' CSI: The Musical? We've got the star right here. -- Melissa Rose Bernardo

Losing weight needs a lot discipline and perseverance. I was once experience how to be teased because of my weight. That is why I decided to enroll in a fitness program. But I asked first my health care provider before I enter into it. Thanks. |

I count calories. Every bite that goes into my mouth, I count. I use this website called My Calorie Counter to keep track. It's easy and free, but there are a lot of others out there. And I get as much exercise as I can. Park further away at the grocery store, walk up and down stairs, concentrate on holding in my abs when I sweep the floor. There are also two weekly threads on this board. Feel free to join in on either one of them or on both. It helps keep me on track by talking things out with other like minded people. |

Hello gardenlover. I agree that it does take perseverence and lots and lots of discipline. I have tried many of the more popular diet programs out there and did well, but none were permanent for the long haul. This time I decided that common sense had to rule. Now it is about eating healthy meals. And I learned that I have to work out on a regular basis. It does not have to be anything high tech, just a bit of weight training and just plain moving my body. Good luck to you on your new adventure in getting healthy. Helen |

Hi Helen, Base on my experience diet programs really works if the willingness of person to lose weight is there. I also tried so many exercise and other weight lost programs to reduce my excess weight but nothing happened. Not until I obliged myself to be disciplined and more eager to achieve my goal. Imagine when I was single I use to weigh 96 lbs and I am so slim before. But when I became a housewife I cook different kinds of dishes that my husband loves and before I know it from a waist of 24 it became 36 and I can't believe it when I saw myself in a video that I walk like a pinguin because I'm too big. It was the start of my perseverance to lose weight. Thanks |

ETA:The discussion started by WortMonger regarding using the spunding valve. My main interest is in using it to carbonate in the keg during fermentation. According to the Wiki pressure fermenting apparently reduces fusel alcohols and esters and hastens the fermentation and reduces the krausen height which is a plus when fermenting 5 gal. in a corny. It's also supposed to give a clearer beer and allow you to ferment at higher temperatures which is a plus for me in FL since at the moment I don't have secondary refrigeration. I'll have to (counter pressure) bottle from the corny. Quite a bit of information to wrap my head around in the thread, I'm still an amateur & new to brewing. Based on muse435's build using the following parts:Norgren Pressure relief Valve $22.44Norgren Spec Sheet The Ashcroft gauge came from Ebay $7.87 delivered. The Norgren valve has 1/4" NPT female inlet & outlets and it has two 1/8" NPT female gauge ports which can also be used for attaching additional kegs to the same spunding valve with the addition of check valves. Two socket head plugs are included with the valve to plug the gauge ports if they aren't used. The valve disassembles without tools for cleaning. The adjustment knob is like that on the current Tap-Rite regulators, pull out to adjust, push in to lock.
Outstanding !
Is this for applying a little pressure during primary?
That's a pretty heavy duty valve, hopefully not too heavy duty. It says it maxes out at 125 cu ft/ min and operates at between 5 and 125 psi. I made one too. I used about 5 feet of 5/16" tubing though. I don't want to use a blow off setup if I can avoid it. I used a 1-100 psi relief valve. The only thing that concerns me is how much relief it gives each time. When I was testing it on a primed keg, one keg pressure dropped to 0 while I was fooling around. I guess I won't know until I put it to the real test. OP, what pressure do you plan to set it at?
They're also fantastic for transferring between kegs under counter-pressure.
Thanks for posting, I am very interested to see how it works for you.
I have that valve in your link. As for krausen, use ferm cap as I plan to if you are doing 5 gal batches. I plan to start with 5 drops. As for pressure, I'm thinking whatever the lowest setting I can get to start with and then after 24 hours adjust if hissing along. I think I might try 20 psi and then ramp it to 30 at the last 0.01 left in gravity.

This should have been a week of celebration for EA and Maxis. Its new reboot of SimCity is by all accounts a fantastic game, one that promises to gorge on players' hours much like the original did.
This should have been a week where all involved in the game's development and marketing could relax, put their feet up, and pat each other's backs on a job well done.
But instead EA is harbouring the unenviable reputation for hosting one of the worst game launches in history as its SimCity servers buckle under the weight of demand from its users. A groundswell of criticism has spread internationally as the game repeatedly refused numerous customers access. Some reported that, once into the game and making progress, their work was deleted due to server outage.
As the week went on EA's suffering showed no respite, with staff memos leaking, then Amazon pulling the game from listings, then the publisher halting marketing plans, then a third public apology packaged with the offer of a free Origin game to those affected.
It has been a spectacular, depressing disaster launch. But was it the worst ever? CVG looks through the history books and picks out the biggest disaster launches ever. Shield your eyes.
Diablo III: Error 37
In a situation similar to SimCity's, Diablo 3 was a much-anticipated game that, naturally, generated a stupendous volume of players ready to go online on launch day. Those players all then poured into Blizzard's servers seconds after the gate opened, causing the servers to immediately overload and block out thousands of players with the now infamous "Error 37" message.
Connection problems were still being reported a full month after the game's launch.
One of the main reasons for the outrage was that Diablo III's single-player mode, despite not offering any online functionality, had to remain connected at all times. As a result, many who didn't even want to play online were still forced out of the single-player mode. It made discs seem futuristic.
This is fake, but it doesn't make it any less fantastic:
(NSFW / loud profanity)
World Of Warcraft: Azewrong moarlike!
When it first launched, Blizzard had no clue that World Of Warcraft would become the historic success that it went on to become. Despite enough warning signs about server demand during the frenzied hype, Blizzard did not expected that the demand would place such an enormous burden on its servers. The company, like EA has with SimCity, grossly underestimated how many people would buy the title on day one.
As shops started selling out of copies of World Of Warcraft, Blizzard's servers continued taking a hammering, with server queues stretching past thousands of players waiting for free slots. Those who did manage to get online were plagued with disconnects, and due to severe latency issues, some players were stuck watching their character perform the same looting animation for half an hour.
Blizzard tried to make amends by offering free game time credit for those who had been affected, but the server issues continued for a full month or so after launch.
Half-Life 2: Blowing off Steam
We look back on the spellbinding Half-Life 2 with a holy reverence but those who were there on day-one may not speak of it so saintly.
Valve's Half-Life 2 was released on the same day as the new digital game distribution service, Steam. Yes, we all adore Steam in the modern age as the platform smoothly hosts thousands of PC games at reasonable prices, but that's after nine years of learning hard lessons. On the first days when it launched, Steam was a mess.
Again, like with SimCity and Diablo 3, the problem was popularity. Countless gamers desperate to play Half-Life 2 were but not able to do so because, even though it was a single-player game, Valve wanted players to authenticate it online. Sound familiar?
Let's not forget, back in 2004 the servers and connections were also far less stable and dial-up was still a legitimate option for internet users. Valve's Erik Johnson admitted in a 2011 interview "we were stupid back then".

Buffalo City Mission goes above and beyond
BY: Community Papers of WNY Staff | December 27, 2012
BUFFALO - Buffalonians won't be going hungry this holiday season thanks to fund-raising efforts of employees and residents from the McGuire Group's health care and rehabilitation facilities.
The five facilities, which are located in Cheektowaga, Hamburg, Lancaster, North Tonawanda and West Seneca, have been engaged in a friendly competition to see which one could raise the most money to purchase meals for those at the City Mission.
Together they far outweighed their original goals raising more than $1,700, the equivalent of 864 meals.
"The best thing about the competition was the residents' and employees' enthusiasm at every one of our facilities," stated Rhonda Gorman, activity director at Garden Gate Health Care Facility and coordinator of the event. "We have a resident here at Garden Gate who is thankful for the assistance the City Mission has provided to one of her family members. She is now so grateful for all that the McGuire Group facility employees have done to help the organization."
In order to keep the enthusiasm level high, each facility hung posters and kept a chart that was updated weekly indicating the dollar amounts that each facility raised.
"It's very rewarding to know that so many people in our community will benefit from this effort, especially during this time of the year," said Gorman.

How Humans Became Social
- Wednesday November 9, 2011
Look around and it's impossible to miss the importance of social interactions to human society. They form the basis of our families, our governments, and even our global economy. But how did we become social in the first place? Researchers have long believed that it was a gradual process, evolving from couples to clans to larger communities. A new analysis, however, indicates that primate societies expanded in a burst, most likely because there was safety in numbers.

So far there is Van Engelen Flower Bulbs ***** 2010 END-OF-SEASON SALE LIST ***** , which is 40% off spring flowering bulbs as well as some lilies and peonies. Sue |
Follow-Up Postings:
My number one reason for logging into gardenweb tonight was to make sure someone had posted this IMPORTANT information! I would have been sooner, but I wanted to make sure I got my order in first before things sold out..... sorry for being so selfish. I need more bulbs just about as much as I need termites in the foundation.... but at least the bulbs will look nice come springtime! |
Arrrgh!!! I just placed my first Van Engelen order last week. I was hoping all the things I ordered would have been out of stock for the end-of-season sale, but NO!!! I could have saved $15 on my $50 order! That could have been a ton more bulbs!!!! Poop! |
BloomingBulb.com's "overstock" page: http://www.bloomingbulb.com/c-5869-overstock-sale.aspx?viewall=1 And HollandBulbFarms.com has a bunch of stuff on sale and a coupon "BULBMADNESS for FREE SHIPPING on orders of $25.00 or more". (http://www.hollandbulbfarms.com/search.asp?page=1&keywords=Bulbs&refine=y&Stock=In+Stock) I have ordered way too many bulbs again this Fall. Thank goodness we're having a warm Fall! Will have to be very busy this weekend. |
Easy to grow bulbs has 30% off daffodils, I think 25% off tulips, must enter FALL-FUN as discount code. Through Thursday 11/11 only. |

I got an email from B and D lilies today about a 40% off on "groups of 6." I still have too many bulbs to plant to take advantage of the sale. kay |
I still have too many bulbs to plant to take advantage of the sale. I'm like you Kay, and am trying to stay strong and not order or buy anything more until every bulb I now have is planted with TLC and properly labeled. I will admit though that I was a bit tempted. Maybe I will be finished before Brent and Becky's start their 50% off sale, which is usually quite late. Last year I posted on Nov 28th that their sale had just started. Sue...heading out to start prepping to plant. |
I bought from B & D! As if the 450 bulbs that came from VE today were not enough. |
I bought from B & D! As if the 450 bulbs that came from VE today were not enough. Linnea, Have you lost control or what?!?!?!. Have the above average fall temperatures fooled you into thinking that you still have lots of planting time left? So how many did you order from B and D? Fess up now... Sue |
I, uh, I don't know what to say (blush!) I only got 24 lilies. That's all. I planted for more than 4 hours today. I think I only have about 200 left to go. Something like that. I'm not counting. I palmed off some of my excess daffodils on some poor sucker; no, I meant, I shared the wealth with an appreciative friend. |

Old House Gardens. Last Call! Now Save 25% on EVERYTHING! Fall Shipping Ends Monday! |
Here is a link that might be useful: What is left at Old house gardens...
I've never ordered from them. Even at 25% off things are expensive. Are they worth it? |
CLEARANCE prices up to 75% off at American Meadows. I have been coveting the "Triumph Tulip Bulbs Blue Moon Mix" for a couple years, only $20 for 50 now. But with our first Winter storm due tomorrow and another 400 bulbs left to plant, I probably should not order anything else! BTW, the coupon code "SAVE" should get you $5 off 30. |

elleni, I have ordered from Old House several times and YES their bulbs are wonderful: larger sizes than I have received elsewhere, often with two or three offsets on them. I planted three Grand Primo Bulbs from them just two years ago. This spring I dug and divided them and had 33 bulbs! But, their big draw is the many bulbs they offer that can't be found anywhere else. |
Well, I am no longer tempted by the mixed blue tulips... Not only the reviews of the actual colors on the American Meadows site, but I found this thread from GW on the quest for blue flowers. |
Here is a link that might be useful: Blue Tulips:( Yeah right!
Looks like BloomingBulb is doing their final closeout. Many remaining things are 50% off. Try as I might, I am not seeing anything I want. Well, maybe some Gladiator Allium, or... |
Here is a link that might be useful: Fall Blow-Out
Can you tell I keep an eye out for the end-of-season sales?!? I think this is the first year that Santa Rosa has had bulbs. I've ordered plants from them and they are great. Oh, and see if these coupons are still working: "MY5" for $5 off $20 order or "MONKEY" for 10% off any order or "SFB20" for 20% off bulb orders. I think that last one might be expired, but the other two have been around and working forever. |
Here is a link that might be useful: Save up to 75% on bulbs
Posted in its own thread, but it is a Fall sale... Holland Bulb Farms in Wisconsin is closing out the season with an "All Spring Blooming Variety Pack" of 250+ bulbs for $39 with free shipping. Use the Coupon Code "50FBlikes" at checkout to "save" $190.63 and get free shipping. |

You probably already saw this clip since it was everywhere yesterday, and I promise never to ever be on an airplane again* so that you do not have to suffer the indignity of seeing something posted a few hours later than it was posted on some other websites. But on the slight chance that you did not see this clip yesterday, you are about to see it, and for that I suppose I am also sorry. Because it's a terrible clip! Harry Connick Jr. was a guest judge on an Australian variety show called Hey Hey It's Saturday, and a group of doctors calling themselves the Jackson Jive came out and performed a horrifying blackface Michael Jackson tribute. Yikes. To make matters worse: the audience LOOOOOVES it. Fosters may be Australian for beer, but blackface is Australian for thing everyone loves so much apparently. Afterward, the host of the show, Daryl Somers, brought Harry Connick Jr. out to apologize. All of this after the jump.
Oh, Australia. With your Apocalyptic dust storms, prison colony roots, and fiercely guarded love of blackface. Probably the weirdest part of this whole thing is the apology. Because what is the host apologizing for? Offending Harry Connick Jr.? Yes. Finally, the long rift between the Australian variety show Hey Hey It's Saturday and Harry Connick Jr. has been repaired! So many generations of people prayed that they would one day see Hey Hey It's Saturday living in harmony with Harry Connick Jr. but so few expected to see it in their own life times. Amistad.
According to FabLife, the Australian public reaction has been that Harry Connick Jr. was being too politically correct. Which is hilarious. Because Harry Connick Jr. was not so much being too politically correct as he was being exactly the right amount of regular correct. Also known as "classic correct." I mean, even if blackface has a longer history of racial insensitivity in the United States, it still seems pretty obvious why that would be offensive everywhere. Right? Am I just so entrenched in my American puritanism that I'm incapable of seeing how a bunch of white people painting their faces with shoe-polish and doing a choreographed monkey dance is just gentle comedy all in good fun? Back me up, Japan! Japan? (Via MovieLine.)
*I make no such promise! IT IS LIFE, AND I MUST JUMP INTO IT.

There was a large amount of blackface minstrel troupes and groups that performed around australia in the 1880s+ onwards. Some of these groups were even american performers who toured around here. The Apollo Hall was a famous minstrel venue.
There's no excuse. we have just as much of a history as America when it comes to these performances.
That is terrible. It's not like race isn't an issue there either, I guess this http://www.news.com.au/story/0,23599,23206140-2,00.html
was for nothing.Way to go Harry Connick Jr, though I hear your new album isn't the greatest….

Firstly – this is terrible.
Secondly – I'm pretty sure Australia doesn't have the history of blackface that americans do. (as an Australian, I'm very sure… we did different terrible things to our indigenous popn and different things again to our immigrant population)
Thirdly – That isn't an excuse.
Fourthly – Neither is the old "I'm Indian, so I can't be racist" excuse.
Fifthly – It was extremely offensive (not just to americans or HCJnr, who Daryl Summers directed that amazing apology to), but I'm hesitant to call it racist, as I'm reluctant to ascribe a motivation to the act (maybe I'm being too nice here)
Sixthly – call it what you want, I think we should all pause to consider the number of brain-snaps required to get a cock-up of this magnitude onto the air
Seventhly – Hey Hey makes Australia's Funniest Home Videos look like Chekhov, so don't judge us all by the people who watch it/defend blackface.
Eighthly – there's a reason this shit's been off the air for 10 years
Ninthly – THEY'RE DOCTORS! The guy in whiteface is a plastic surgeon.-
dan | Posted on Oct 8th, 2009 +2
Tenthly – did you see the bemused audience shot….. Not sure where the clapping was coming from..
Eleventhly – Kamahl is a Malaysian/Australian crooner, so the dodgy arse cartoon isn't very nice. Here's an ad he did for vanilla coke http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p1nRX_i4vEA He was unimpressed by the sketch.
Banjodark | Posted on Oct 8th, 2009 +10
as an australian, here's what shits me off about all of this:
1. the fact that the routine made it to air at all.
2.Being disgusted at the 'apology', host Daryl Somers offered, which assumed that Australians wouldn't be offended by a minstrel act on national television in 2009.
3. And finally, the international media's handling of the subject – making blanket statements and assumptions that the majority of Australians are racist and weren't offended by the act rather than focusing on the real issue at hand – our archaic media institutions who actually thought this would be a good segment to go to air.I can only hope that this will result in HEY HEY ITS SATURDAY! not getting greenlit for a full series. because then I may have to expatriate.
I'm sorry but enough of this excuse.
"Larrikins were not the only Australians to be drawn to minstrelsy in the 1870s and 1880s. Minstrelsy's combination of roisterous character-songs, sentimental ballads, comic sketches and hilarious burlesques appealed to diverse audiences in Australia–decidedly more diverse than in North America or England."-

Wow! I didn't know that. It's certainly not something that stayed in the popular consciousness in the same way as it did in the states.

From the performers:
http://www.thepunch.com.au/articles/hey-heys-jackson-jive-explain-why-we-did-it/%20?=newscomau"e?re not so naive that we didn?t think it would be a little bit controversial to paint our faces black. We discussed it before the show.
But to be honest, we thought that we didn?t get any complaints 20 years ago, and we didn?t get any complaints two months ago at the Med Revue, so we figured it was probably all in good fun.

Banjodark 10:07am – totally with you.
I'm Australian and I am cringing from embarrassment about this. That as far as the rest of the world is concerned we all appreciate a blackface musical number on primetime TV in 2009.
It was in bad taste and it was racist. Here is the quickest way to tell why – because people are offended by it. It is a shocking display of how out-of-touch either network execs are in Australia to think it makes for good viewing, or the shameful state of the Australian general public to prove those same execs right based on the shows popularity. Either way I am astounded and disappointed by it.

This was a lame skit from an equally lame show, its the equivalent to Jay Leno making a joke about our Aboriginal stolen generation:-
1. it would piss off a lot of Australians
2. it would mean little to none to Americans
3. Americans would get pissed off that Australians thought they were insensitive assholes because of Jay Leno's gaping mouth.So in summary how about we just get over it? Shit happens and theres wankers in every country. FIN.

Oh America, land of the culturally superior and politically correct! Thank goodness your most sparkling orator, a mouthpiece for a nation of equality and social justice, chastised those backward Australian mannerisms. Thank you Gabe, your insightful nationalist diatribe has penetrated the facade of puerile humour to locate the true problem here: Australians. It is only right that a representative for a nation with such discreet international policies and peaceful ambitions should be appalled by the barbarism displayed by these reckless displays of liberty and corporatism.

As expected, Silverlight 2 is RTM and will be available on the 14th of October. Scott took the first few minutes bragging about Silverlight's recent accomplishments, such as all the records for streaming broken by the Olympics broadcast by NBC. He also spoke about all the major players that will be releasing Silverlight content with the release of 2.0. Examples include BlockBuster, who will be using Silverlight for movie reviews, and AOL, who will be releasing a browser-hosted e-mail application using the plugin.
Probably the biggest news is that Microsoft is going to partner with Soyatech to bring Silverlight development to Eclipse on Windows and, later, on other desktops.
Another interesting bit of news is the creation of the Silverlight Control Pack project on Codeplex. I don't see it yet, but supposedly it has 11 controls ready to go and they are looking to hit 50+ controls in the coming few years. This is good news for people developing Silverlight apps as the default controls are a bit lacking.

Ahh, the fall, the time of year when the trees shed their leaves, the jack-o-lanterns burn bright and hot apple cider is plentiful. What could be lovelier: Your children are back in school!
Share a free sample 2015 Vedic Moon Sign Forecast. Take a look at how the transit of planets will affect your relationship and finances in 2015!
While this is a joyous season for most parents, it can be fraught with its own special brand of stress. With Saturn going into Libra on October 29, you can expect your child to learn and grow in a big way in the realm of relating to others. Below is a survival guide by the stars of what you can expect from your little one this school year.
Expect that a close friendship will be tested. A falling out with a best friend should not come as a surprise. A good bond will last or expect a new BFF to be around the corner.
Hard work is the theme for this year. Spelling tests and arithmetic could prove more daunting than usual. Consider helping your child by buddying them up with a tutor or a study partner.
Your child talks too much at school – this is a given. But this year, you may have to contend with them also goofing off too much. Get them re-focused by signing them up for an art class or a dance class to help them burn energy in a more productive way.
You might have a tougher time than usual getting your child to calmly exit your presence in the beginning of the year; however, as the months go on, you can expect some maturity in this department. Make sure to transition your child to a best friend or teacher before dashing out the back door a quickly as possible.
This is a year where your child may have some "difficulties" with reading, writing or language. The reality may be that she just needs a little more time to master the task at hand. Patience is what is required and an understanding that with time your child will catch up and move beyond the pack.
This is the year your child will decide that she needs everything her best friend has in order to fit in. While it is tempting to indulge your child for the sake of being "cool" it won't pay in the end. This is a tough lesson your child must learn.
This is the year your child will officially understand the concept of popularity. For better or for worse he will be confronted with some choices about how he chooses handle his independence and social status.
This year your child's imagination has the potential to take off like never before. What this means for your little one is difficult to say. An imaginary friend might be in the offering or maybe just lots of tea parties with friends. Either way you should encourage healthy outlets for make-believe.
This year marks the year when your child takes a leadership role at school. Encourage your child to run for student counsel or try out for the lead in the school play.
Your little goat is notoriously serious and this year won't be any different. School can weigh heavily if you don't help give your child some perspective on failures and successes. You win some, you lose some. If a teacher is calling attention to your child unnecessarily, have a frank and honest conversation with both your child and the student about any issues.
If your notice your child is bored at school, she might not be being challenged enough. Talk to teachers about what can be done to give your little one a bit more freedom or some different subjects to re-engage her interest.
While your child has a mellow side, this year, he may discover the power a tantrum can yield or older children may find their way into the "wrong" crowd. Take some extra time this school year to pay attention on your child's activities and make sure they get positive reinforcement for a job well done and discipline when they are off track.

I live in Massachusetts and I would like to plant several groupings of native Azaleas and Rhododendrons in my yard. Anyone know where I can find a good list for my area? |
Follow-Up Postings:
My website lists all 26 native rhododendron and azaleas in the USA. It is at: Common Native Rhododendrons and Azaleas of North America. Hank Schannen's Rare Find Nursery in New Jersey carries the following native azaleas and rhododendrons: R. (AZALEA) alabamense 'Frosty' AKA 'Terry Greer' They all are native plants but they are selected as being the best forms of the plants. Some are named, others aren't. Another great place to buy native Azaleas and Rhododendrons is Jim Gear's Octoraro Farm Nursery. Jim is a native plant specialist and has the following: R. alabamense - (Alabama Azalea) A major rhododendron nursery near you is Weston Nurseries in Hopkinton, MA near I 495 and the Mass Pike. They carry a few native plants: Rhododendron canadense 'Rhodora Azalea' There are some plants native to the West Coast that don't seem to make it on the East Coast, so be careful of ordering from a West Coast nursery. Good Luck. |
Here is a link that might be useful: Common Native Rhododendrons and Azaleas of North America
To be more specific, plants which are native to parts of Massachusetts include: Rhododendron canadense 'rhodora azalea' The USDA has a good site for finding which plants grow native in any area. It is at: http://plants.usda.gov/index.html |

This product has been discontinued
This was the second MAC product that I had ever purchased. Prior to this product, I had bought the mineralize skinfinish natural. I loved the consistency of the powder so I decided that I wanted to try something similar, but in liquid form. After I got home with it, I immediately wanted to try it. At first, I was skeptical. I had read other reviews of it breaking people out. I am at the age of acne, but fortunately was blessed with pretty skin but sometimes, still get the occasional breakout. I tried this product at night and the next morning woke up with zits! At this point, I was turned off by the product and regretting ever purchasing. I decided to give it another try about a week later and haven't had any problems with it. It goes on great and looks very natural with buildable coverage. I think that I might've been a little paranoid after reading other reviews about the breakouts. The only downfall of this foundation is the smell, which is noticeable on the face. The price kinda sucks too but you get what you pay for! I will definitely consider purchasing again!
Im not really sure if I like this product or not, I only wear it on nights out and the coverage is fantastic! It's so easy to apply with my MAC 187 brush and glides onto my skin flawlessly. However I really hate "dewy" looks and this makes my skin look wet and greasy. Also I find it makes alot of mess when I apply it and be warned don't get it on any clothes as it will stain! But I bought it so im gonna use it lol although I doubt i'll buy this foundation again.
I love this foundation! I have normal to dry skin and other foundations really dry me out. I tried the Select (too matte!) and the Studio Sculpt (too heavy for me) with no success. The Satinfinish is perfect for me. I have quite good skin so I only like light coverage at best, and it gives me a really nice glow. I like the consistency of it a lot as well, it's basically the perfect foundation for me! It gives the effect of my skin but a bit better. :P I would (and will) happily re-buy.

This one was the worst ever foundation. I have combination skin, am quite pale. It is a very discreet foundation, good for someone that doesn;t really need coverage, but just a bit of colour. The worst though is that it is chalky. It doesn;t really glide on, is not seamless. I won;t be buying it again and I feel sorry I spend 20 pounds on it. It is just sitting on my desk.
This was my first foundation from MAC. At the store, the rep did me up and I was totally satisfied with it. Only later I felt greasy, looked oily and my face felt tight. I thought it was due to the weather. Later that week, I tried putting it on my self with all the same products (I gave in & bought everything) and did not get the same results. My face looked irritated and because it hid the redness, I looked blotchy, bumpy and greasy. Returned it after 4 different attempts to recreate what the MAC girl did the first time. Definitely not for oily or combination skin. My face broke out after trying to use this.
I'm new to make up and I was looking for a pretty sheer foundation as I don't like heavy coverage for daytime. I got few bumps on forehead and some redness around my nose. I don't have scars, pimples.. although it's not smooth and flawless at least I don't have much problem to cover ;)
so I went to MAC and the SA recommended this to me. She said the coverage was medium-builadable. It's pretty sheer depends on how you applied it. It also contains minerals in it so it's good for your skin, that's how she explained.
I liked this foundation, it evens out my skin tone but you definitely need concealer for your under-eye circles. I use this this with #187 and I loveee the result. Usually after I applied this and concealer, I dusted some loose powder to set it.
The downside of this is lack of staying power and sebum control. My nose gets shiny after a couple hours and in the evening I can see the foundation faded slightly. But may be this can be handled by using primer underneath.
This is an OK foundation but not the best. There are many greater foundations out there.
so yeah, I'm still looking for my HG foundation~
This is my fav foundaiton so far. It gives a really nice glow, i feel like no need to use highlighter after this. (Im NC 15) Unlike some other foundation products, this one isn't as dry which is one of the most important things when u looking for a foundation.
This was fobbed off on me as the substitute for the now-discontinued Hyper Real. Though I love the glowy look (read healthy and natural!) this is much too viscous to give any kind of natural effect. I rubbed, I blended, I peered...all I was left with was a gummy mess. I have found, however, that the day can be saved by diluting the product with a good quality moisturizer. Will not repurchase.
i like the fact that it comes with a pump but you have to clean it every time otherwise it will turn messy. Although it has glitter its not very noticeable, its a sheer foundation and it adds a luminous glow, i recommend it to people with good skin. By the way i've been using it for two weeks now and so far I haven't got any breakouts. Will edit if I do.

Coverage was great... probably too good, because it left my skin looking very fake and caked on. Coverage is thick, you can see it and you can feel it. I feel that that amount is unnecessary, even if you have skin that needs coverage. There are definitely foundations out there that can offer you amazing coverage that looks natural without being caked on. Thus, to me this product is very unnecessary.

I was just outside cutting down tubers when I thought----Won't water get down the stems and rot the tuber? We are expecting a northeast storm on Thurs. I don't know whether to keep going or not? |
Follow-Up Postings:
You can make little foil caps to cover any hollow stems or stuff a short dahlia branch or two in the hollow stems leaving the hole covered with foliage for the short time they'll be left in the ground. Sometimes if you cut the stalk at a node, the stem will barely be hollow and no 'capping' need be done. I've had several snap off in our heavy winds yesterday so I'll have a few clumps to work on soon. No freeze here yet though. |

I cut the tops off all of my dahlias two days ago and it rained last night. I was not going to dig until this weekend. Will they rot that fast if water is down the stems? I hadn't even considered that little detail. |
I knew you would come to my rescue Pooch. I am going to put flower pots and pans over them. I stopped cutting right away when I thought about the rain. Thanks again. |

PDSHOP with a handle like that you should take pen blanks and turn pens, then use then to stop up your dahlias. Bad week sorry. |
Sorry you had a bad week, Viking. Kwesio, I wouldn't worry about just a few days of exposed stalks. Most of the time I don't worry about it at all even in our very wet autumn climate. They're usually only outside a few days, once cut. And I should point out that we seldom freeze by the time I cut plants down, so leaves would not be the frozen spinach yuck, but normal green dahlia leaves on sprigs stuffed in an open stalk. |
viking I don't know what you are talking about? It has been in the 40's and 30's. I hope it gts warmer to get these things worked, dug, washed and store. Thank goodness I made notes on the dahlias as I oulwn't be able to distinguish them now. Poor things. |

Neather do I. Just thought you might be a woodworker like me. All though I don't turn pens. I make pen boxes though. It looks like frost for me tonight. |

I really don't worry any longer about water in the stems. However, back when I fretted over making little foil caps or cutting at the nodes or pushing a screw drive down through the whole clump, I piked up a neat trick on another group from Buddy Dean at Hilltop Dahlias in North Carolina. His technique was to fill the open stem with the foam insulation that comes in an aerosol container. |

Ask Slashdot: Online Science For 8th Grade Students?
timothy posted more than 3 years ago | from the alton-brown-rocks dept.
225Peterus7 writes "I'm a student teacher in an 8th grade science classroom, and have noticed that students are very motivated by anything online. After realizing that, I've been looking for ways to incorporate internet resources into my teaching, and trying to find cool citizen science projects, activities, and simulations that would be appropriate for a grade school science class, such as galaxyzoo and fold.it. So, I'm asking slashdot for more resources that could help bring science to their lives. Thanks!"

US allocates over $445.9 million in humanitarian assistance to Mali for FY2012 and FY2013
Submitted by go213mph on Tue, 01/22/2013 - 16:26This kind of $hit is really starting to piss me off! The US is beyond f'ing BROKE, and with ALL the financial problems we have here at home, and US unemployment/underemployment breaking all time records and no relief in sight, our so called leaders keep handing out billions in foreign aid. This is just crap. We should get to vote online if we want to send 1/2 a billion dollars to some freaking country where 75% of the "aid" will be stolen by politicians on both ends of the deal. F'ing CRIMINALS! Bernanke is counterfiting 100 billion a month and handing it out to his well connected buddies and I've had to sell everything I ever owned just to keep a roof over my head. The bankers and traitors that have taken over our country should be arrested, tried, and hanged.
From Report:
Prior to the coup, the United States was one of the largest bilateral donors to Mali, with aid programs focusing on food security, health, education, governance, counterterrorism, and military professionalization. Many types of U.S. bilateral foreign aid for Mali are now prohibited under Section 7008 of the FY2012 Consolidated Appropriations Act, P.L. 112-74, which bars State Department and USAID-administered aid to the government of any country in which a military coup or decree has overthrown a democratically elected government.
The coup-related restrictions do not apply to humanitarian aid, which has been defined, in the case of Mali, to include bilateral health and food security aid. The United States is the leading provider of emergency humanitarian aid in Mali and the region, having allocated over $445.9 million in humanitarian assistance to the Sahel region in FY2012 and FY2013 to date. Of this, $119.3 million has been provided for drought- and conflict-affected Malians.

for the NWO...Suffer insult at Obama's admonishment: It's irresponsible not to pay your bills-you HAVE to raise the debt-ceiling...
There's got to come a day when civil disobedience dictates - enough - no more Federal income tax returns, even tho it will mean jail time, at best. But it also means the refusal to fund an evil empire.
I'd pay state income tax. But as far as Federal? That's a moral hazard I simply can't afford any longer. All it's doing is reserving me a place in hell.

You are aware aren't you
that "aid" is not aid, as in productively helping those who need it.
Aid is helping the corrupt in (insert name of failing country here) to help themselves.
The "aid" that went to Haiti is still sitting on the wharf, the UN bought in cholera to "aid" an already weak population...and the US now has full control of the country, not only physically through air and ship ports, but through the puppet government that gets rich on the aid money.
"Aid" is a disgusting racket.
