No matter the weather outside, the technicians at Neuner Heating & Air can keep your home feeling comfortable. Whether you need some AC to take the edge off summer or a blast of warm air to melt the frozen caveman in the basement, the experienced team can quickly get the temperature to where it needs to be. Aside from repairing broken HVAC systems and tuning up furnaces, they can clean out air ducts to promote adequate air flow and to keep clean air flowing through living spaces. These tasks are important, since cleaner air ducts can lower utility bills.
Joshua Baxter was born to move. As a child he was so entrenched in his family's auction business that when Joshua was 16, his father pulled him aside and told him it was time to take an active role. So, Joshua took his driver's test in the truck the family used to pick up merchandise, and at 19 he bought his own truck, handling the transportation of the often-valuable antiques. That skill and preternatural understanding of merchandise transportation led to the birth of Here To There Movers. Now, Joshua has trucks headquartered in five Midwest cities.
Here To There Movers' technicians know that the transport of belongings from one abode to another is one of life's most stressful affairs, even more than interviewing for a position at the local bomb diffusery. The licensed and insured staff can arrive at a moment's notice, equipped to handle bookshelves, boxes, and pianos. Here To There provides a frequently asked questions page and moving tips for the befuddled house-swapper or recreational vagrant.

The sleep experts strive to stay abreast of the latest bedding technology: their Serta mattresses are made with gel foam that supports curves, and Tempur-Pedic mattresses repel allergens, mites, and poltergeists looking to spoon. This devotion to a good night's sleep has helped them earn the title of Best Mattress Store from suburban Chicago's Daily Herald five years in a row. Additionally, American Mattress doubles down on each of its beds with a 30-day comfort guarantee and a 60-day best-price guarantee.

The shop features multiple TV monitors flickering family-friendly movies and a viewing window that looks into the work area, so drivers can watch as their four-wheeled babies go under the wrench. Elite Auto Image also specializes in custom fitting interiors with leather and custom building and wiring two-wheeled roadsters such as Harley-Davidsons and tandem unicycles.
Family patriarch Nordy Rockler opened the doors of his first store in 1954 to supply his fellow craftsmen with knowledge, friendly advice, and a large selection of tools for at-home woodworking projects. Now, the chain of retail outlets brims with more than 20,000 tools and specialized woodworking equipment. Next to a steely rainbow of hinges, casters, and screws, a supply of lumber and exotic hardwoods provides planks for building tree houses or just leaving around as a warning to uncooperative trees. The tenor buzz of power tools operated by newly knowledgeable guests drifts from educational sessions on operating equipment and woodworking.

Lefty Driesell, the colorful basketball coach who took Maryland and three other schools to the NCAA tournament during his 41-year career, was invited to reminisce about Aug. 28, 1974.
"A very bad day in my life," the old Lefthander said, and no Maryland fan of that era would disagree.
Thirty-four years ago this week (can it possibly have been that long ago?) Maryland lost Moses Malone to the Utah Stars of the American Basketball Association before he had attended a class.
Malone, sought by more than 300 schools as the nation's bluest blue-chip recruit before Maryland signed him, was supposed to bring a national championship with him to College Park. Instead, he opted to take a $1 million offer from the Stars, thus beginning a 21-year pro career that ranked him among the NBA's 50 best players of all time.
Maryland never did achieve Lefty's Holy Grail of a national title, though the Terrapins ironically came close during what would have been Malone's freshman season.
Sparked by the strong play of guards John Lucas, Steve Sheppard and Brad Davis, plus the emergence of frontcourt men Tom Roy and Owen Brown, the Terps finished the regular season with a 24-5 record and came within one game of the Final Four before losing in the Midwest Region final to Louisville.
So close and yet so far.
"If we'd had Moses, I would have liked our chances," Lefty said with a rueful chuckle.
When Driesell strode into his office at Cole Field House on June 20, 1974, after winning the intense recruiting competition for Malone, staff members and secretaries burst into applause.
"If Moses and everybody else play up to their potential, we have an excellent shot at a national title," Driesell said then. "We still have to win it on the court, but it would not surprise me."
Yet Malone, an unsophisticated country boy from Petersburg, Va., never appeared comfortable in his role as the Terps' presumed savior. Playing in a summer league six weeks after signing, he draped a towel over his head on the bench when a photographer approached and later threatened to "break [his] camera."
Three weeks later, bedlam ensued. The Stars were waving a fat contract in front of Malone, Driesell was growling and a Washington sports editor dispatched the Maryland beat writer to Malone's shack of a home in a rundown section of Petersburg.
"Go up and bang on the door," the editor insisted when his man arrived and called in.
"It's 3 a.m. - you come down here and bang on the door," the writer replied.
The next morning, pursued hotly by a pack of panting journalists, Malone boarded a plane in Richmond and flew to ABA headquarters in New York to sign with the Stars. Maryland's dream was over, for all purposes, before it had truly begun.
More than three decades later, Driesell, retired at 76 and living in Virginia Beach, tends to laugh - sort of - at the Malone affair.
"Moses and I are good friends. I talk to him often, and he's spoken at my basketball camp," Lefty said. "He's a great guy."
Malone, now 53, has worked in recent years as an assistant coach and consultant for the Philadelphia 76ers, one of nine pro teams for which he played while averaging 20.3 points and 12.3 rebounds for his career.
He was the NBA's MVP in 1979, 1982 and 1983. A publicly taciturn man, Malone uttered his most famous quote when asked in 1983 how many games the Sixers would require to win each of three playoff series.
"Fo', fo' and fo'," Moses replied in his down-home Virginia drawl, and he didn't miss by much. The 76ers dispatched Boston in four games, Milwaukee in five and the Los Angeles Lakers in four en route to their only NBA championship.
Malone is one of only three players to average 20 points and 10 rebounds a season with three teams (Shaquille O'Neal and Wilt Chamberlain are the others).
He did not foul out in his final 1,212 games, a record, despite his punishing style around the basket. He was named to the Virginia Sports Hall of Fame in 1999 and the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame in 2001. And when he retired in 1995 at 40, he was the last survivor of the ABA, and its old red, white and blue ball.
Yet the most agonizing distinction for Maryland fans is that Moses Malone was the first player to jump directly from high school to the pros.
"Hey, look at the U.S. basketball team in the Olympics - Kobe Bryant, LeBron James and Dwight [Howard] never played college ball," Driesell said. "Moses paved the way. I'm happy for him."
That's known as being a good loser.

The focus of the Olympics when the event comes to Brazil in 2016 will be celebration and transformation, a leading figure has suggested.
Leonardo Gryner, chief operations officer of the 2016 Rio de Janeiro Olympics, said the Brazilian city's unique selling point for the Games will be celebration.
He suggested Rio would be making the most of its ability to hold a party to remember when it hosts the international sporting event.
Gryner added: "I think for everybody, Brazilians and foreigners, there will be celebration - this is a magic city for that."
And he said the Olympics would showcase the positive changes that have been taking place in Rio over the past few years.
The transformation of the city started when it was preparing to host the Pan American Games in 2007, according to Gryner.
He said: "This city is living a revolution."
He said the city hit problems when it was downgraded from being the capital of Brazil. But he added things started to change for the better when it became the host city for the Pan American Games.
He went on to say he hoped the positive changes would be noticed by everyone who comes to the city for the Olympics in 2016, which will likely include many people on group holidays and tours.

What Houzz contributors are saying:
Natalie Myers added this to Open House: Designers Create Uplifting Sanctuaries
Shirry Dolgin of ASD Interiors: "The most exciting part about designing a room for the shelter was fantasizing about who the woman would be that would get the room. I came to the conclusion that the most important thing would be that she feels the love and care I put into this room. I wanted her to walk in and feel like this is a space she could feel completely safe in and I wanted it to warm her heart! My plan was to transform this uninviting dorm that every detail would make her feel like she was in another place and in another country. I chose to make a headboard in a romantic green fabric with a soft shape and very sweet feminine bedding. I contrasted this with very rich drapery in an aubergine color. After the color was decided, it was important for me to create a space plan that was symmetrical in order to emphasize a hotel feel."
Lisa Frederick added this to 12 Top Colors for Night Owls
The aubergine color on the curtain panel is sink-right-in sumptuous, and it would only intensify in the evening. I'd extend it to all four walls for a glamorous effect.
Shawn Gauthier added this to Tax Refunds Provide Style Returns
Draperies. They're a fairly common accessory, but they become especially interesting when used in unexpected ways. If your bed could use a little pizzazz, create a backdrop using a curtain. Look for a complementary color that helps your linens shine, as this purple drapery does for this bed's gold elements.

This abundance, together with the unique diversity of organic compounds and their unusual polymer-forming ability at the temperatures commonly encountered on Earth, make this element the chemical basis of all known life, human body and diamonds included. In Hublot watchmaking, we use carbon to get carbon fibers thanks to carbon atoms! It is transformed in braided fibers and surrounded by resin, to create watch cases or components. This thermally decomposing man-made process permits to obtain extremely strong and light material. The weight of carbon fiber is less than 2.6 g/cm3. It is widely used in aviation, military, space, aeronautic, medicine industries and other high technologies. Actually, carbon fibers give a really contemporary style to the watches.

By placing the camera's line of sight perpendicular to the plane of the plant leaf, much of the leaf remains in focus even with the shallow DOF producted by the f/2.8 aperture at this close distance. The more distant leaves obviously go out of focus. The primary leaf is fully contained in the frame, but the background leaves go beyond the frame into the corners.

I have a stuck fermentation problem. I'm making the Affligem Noel clone from Beer Captured. My OG was 1.090, FG was supposed to be about 1.018. I made a 1 qt starter of WLP 570 Belgian strong ale yeast and pitched 3/4 of it, getting very rapid start of fermentation. I saved a cup of the starter in the fridge for priming with extra yeast a few days before bottling (per the recipe). 3 days ago (2 weeks into fermentation) I checked the gravity and only found it to be 1.038 or so, and no evidence of ongoing fermentation. I boiled up a combo of 2.5 tsp yeast energizer, 5 tsp yeast nutrient, 1/2 cup (about 3.5 oz) turbinado sugar, and 2 cups water, cooled it to 70 deg, and pitched it 3 days ago. I got a little boost in fermentation, bubbles in the airlock every 7 sec as the most brisk, but it didn't last long. 3 days later the gravity is now 1.035 with no further bubbling in the wort or airlock. So the question is, what now? I'm at a loss as to why a strong ale yeast crapped out so soon, especially since I made a starter. I've never had this problem with Belgian high-gravity yeasts. The options I see are: 1. Keep waiting and checking gravities for the next few days, maybe this is just REALLY slow fermentation 2. Toss in the saved remains of the Belgian strong ale yeast starter to try to re-boost fermentation, keeping in mind it's been 3 weeks since I first cracked the vial 3. Pick up a new vial of WLP 570 and pitch either the vial or a new starter of said yeast 4. Add champagne yeast to finish fermentation. I'm slightly leaning towards option 4. Champagne yeast has helped me out several times with prior high gravity brewing issues. Any suggestions on these options, or other ideas? Thanks!
I'd give it another few weeks. Keep checking your gravity. Higher gravity beers take much longer to ferment. The yeast is probably tired and working slowly. If after a week, you haven't seen any drop in points, then you should start thinking about adding more yeast. Also, for ales over 1.070, I always do at least a 2000mL starter. Anything close to 1.100 and I double that.
Belgian yeasts are notoriously slow, but they also have very high alcohol tolerance. They don't flocculate well so they tend to stay in suspension longer. Don't be surprised if the fermentation takes 2 months. That's how long it took the tripel I made a couple years ago and that one had a comparable initial gravity. My advice is get another fermentor and brew a another beer in the meantime and just forget about your belgian beer. It'll be fine.
Primary: Secondary: Chimay Tripel #1 Conditioning: The Day After Christmas Eve Old Ale, Phil's Classic English #2 Drinking: Irish Rebellion Next Beer: Earthly Brown
Also, the best way to deal with stuck fermentation is to not have it in the first place. If you pitch the correct amount of clean healthy yeast and ferment in a temperature controlled environment you should pretty much never have these issues. Check out the pitching rate calculator at mrmalty.comMr Malty Pitching Rate Calculator I think you massively under pitched the yeast. With 2 viles of yeast you would have at least needed a gallon starter for 1.090 wort. A one quart starter with only one vile of yeast is not enough. Really a one quart starter is probably not enough to increase the cell count by much at all. I'd suggest waiting awhile like what another person suggested. If still having issues you can transfer the beer carefully to another fermenter and pitch more WLP570 but this time make a larger starter and pitch the starter at high krausen. That may or may not work. My experience with champagne yeast has only been able to drop the gravity by 3-5 points. Probably not enough for what you need.

Hotel Pay Per Click: Your Single Most Powerful Marketing Tool.
By Vikram Singh
Thursday, 29th May 2014
I have had a front row seat to the hotel pay per click (PPC) world for the past decade, PPC is not new, but its rapidly changing;
One thing that hasnt changed: hotel marketers and owners are still caught up in debates about its effectiveness and viability. As a result, a lot of hotels are still not embracing the power of pay per click.
Googles Golden Goose
Time for a reality check: Since its inception in October 2000, pay per click advertising, aka Google Adwords, has been Googles nonstop money-making Golden Goose. Here are some powerful statistics highlighting its power:
In 2013, Google officially surpassed $50 billion in total advertising revenue. This comprised 85% of their total revenues for 2013.
Google reported $12.9 billion in net income for 2013.
Total paid clicks on Google and Google Display Network sites were up 31% over the prior year, and up 13% over the third quarter of 2013.
All the actions (algorithm updates, layout changes, etc.) that Google implements every few months have a clear goal, which is to make sure that Google can sell more ads. Google cares very much about pay per click, because billions in revenue depends on it. They need it to work for you.
Hotel marketers and owners simply cannot overlook or ignore PPC. Unscrupulous marketing experts love to trash PPC as a waste of funds. You should run from those who advise using search engine optimization (SEO) as a replacement for PPC. SEO is important, but only PPC can explicitly guarantee you placement in exchange for your investment. Every time someone starts talking about how they are not doing pay per click marketing because they are focusing on SEO, an angel in revenue heaven dies.
Brand Name PPC Is Not Optional
There are a lot of things that your hotel can save money on. Opting out of PPC is an axe to the foot, which you do not need. PPC is exponentially important when it comes to someone looking for your brand name on Google, i.e., someone googling your hotel by name. Look at this example:
When someone looks for you by name, one of these three things might have happened:
1. They researched you on any of the hundreds of travel sites (TripAdvisor, Booking.com, Expedia, etc.) and are now ready to have a direct conversation with you.
2. They received a personal recommendation from a friend.
3. They saw your offline marketing somewhere, and now they want to learn more.
These are the searchers that are lowest on the conversion funnel. In simpler terms, they are the people who are most likely to buy something from you right now.
There are only two scenarios that happen when people look for you by name:
1. You are showing an PPC ad for your hotel along the lines of Official Site, Book Direct, Learn More. You get the click and convert them on your site.
2. The OTAs and resellers have no competition from you (woohoo!) for their ads offering Best Rate Guaranteed, No Cancellation Fee, Learn more! They get the click and sell your room, making a handsome 10-20% commission.
It does not take rocket science to figure out that hotels participating in PPC for their brand name terms are harvesting those clicks into direct revenue, instead of giving them away to the OTAs. Please keep this in mind when the next budget meeting comes around. Pay per click can always be beefed up and fine tuned.
Pro tip: Do not waste time hating on OTAs. In the world of Google, it definitely takes money to make money. Own your brand on Google.
Be There or Lose Revenue
I often observe a clear and present disconnect between hotel marketing/revenue goals, and setting budgets for PPC advertising. Its strictly a pay to play party. Budget is generally a function of your location and how much competition there is in your market. You should spend enough to get optimal ROI. This amount will be different for each hotel.
Brand Name Keywords
. You must aggressively bid on your brand name. This might run you anywhere from $100 to $300 per month. You can quote me when I say, it will be the best money you have ever spent on online marketing. As I mentioned earlier, these searchers are specifically looking for you. Make sure they find you.
Pro Tip: No matter how many OTAs are bidding on your brand name, you as the hotel will always get preferential placement, a lower cost per click, and higher conversion from these keywords.
Location Keywords
. Once you are doing a smashing job of showing up and converting for your brand name, its time to take your campaign to the next level. This is where you target broader location-based keywords like hotels near Wrigley Field, and hotels in downtown Chicago. These keywords are much more expensive than buying your brand name, so you have to make sure you are paying close attention to your website and conversions. Quality counts. The quality of your website and booking engine can make all the difference is conversions. The quality of your PPC advertising team affects your placement and cost per click.
Pro Tip: Avoid automation at this level of spending. See below.
Look Beyond Automation
Automation is one of the key differentiators between hotels running effective PPC and those who are struggling. If youre using a big agency, your campaign is probably automated. Once an agency has signed up hundreds of clients, its biggest goal becomes creating efficiency for its own department. Your hotel campaigns performance is not top of mind for an intern clicking away on software that manages hundreds of hotels without any unique strategy.
Using automated software is so 2005. Active management, such as testing ads, running specials, and adjusting bid strategy, is what makes a campaign successful. If youre worried about overspending on PPC, put some thought into who you are hiring to spend money on your behalf in Google. A slightly higher management fee can often result in thousands more dollars in revenue.
Pro Tip: Its not the cost that matters; its the revenue. Getting a great deal on PPC management isnt always such a great deal.
Dont trust your most powerful marketing channel to automated software or an overworked/underpaid project manager at an agency with several hundred clients. There are no shortcuts or discounts on the road to hotel pay per click success. But you can tremendously increase your odds of success (and your PPC revenue) by working with the right team.

Linton is a village and civil parish in the Maidstone District of Kent, England. The parish is located on the southward slope of the Greensand ridge, south of Maidstone on the A229 Hastings road.
The name Linton comes from Old English, probably meaning Lilla's village. The steepness of the hill through it is explained because of its position on the slope of the ridge. The village has a population of about 500. According to the reference quoted below "The 13th century church of St Nicholas contains an interesting and varied collection of monuments, including some by EH Baily, who sculpted the figure of Nelson in Trafalgar Square".
Linton Park is a Grade I listed mansion to the east of the village. Built in 1730 by Robert Mann, it was later home to Sir Horatio Mann, the fourth and fifth Earls Cornwallis and Fiennes Cornwallis, 1st Baron Cornwallis. It served as headquarters to the army encampment at neighbouring Coxheath during the late 18th and early 19th centuries.[1]
There is one public house 'The Bull' which is opposite the church. There is a children's playground off a lane near the bottom of the hill which can be found at the end of a path just above the turning for Wheelers Lane. Cornwallis Academy is a secondary school located in the village.
Linton Park Cricket Club play within the grounds of Linton Park country home. The team have won the National Village Knockout Cup on two occasions.
Linton is in a conservation area and most of the village has great views across to the Weald of Kent.

Users here familiar with rants about power-hungry moderators on the infamous City-Data forum should expect more of the same at the College Confidential forum for the same reasons. The forum exists primarily to generate advertising dollars for the site owners rather than to convey useful information to the students. As volunteers, moderators get no payment beyond "feeling good" about squashing "unacceptable" forum user behavior. This includes restricting or banning users who engage in any so-called "promotion" of any book, video, or Web site the users might find helpful to share with others. Only "authoritative" citations are allowed, whatever that means.
Given how untrustworthy so many "authorities" have proven themselves, that restriction has no merit. In a time when colleges cheerfully run students into six figures of debt with no guarantee of future payback, along with professors who refuse to serve the students they are paid to serve, forums should be encouraging the sharing of useful information to help students avoid these traps. Instead, College Confidential simply seeks to profit by maintaining student ignorance with stupidly restrictive posting policies.
Thank you for this opportunity to vent.

Thanks for the revealing information. No wonder they censored my mention of my son's College Application Organizer for i-phones. It competes directly with their free mobile app which is not private. So students who put information into their mobile app are essentially conveying it to College Confidential and Naviance and the kid's guidance counselor. I had no idea they were connected to City-Data! good to know and thanks!
Aug 6, 2013
My son downloaded a College Application Organizer from the Apple Store. Before he got his, I asked about it on the education forum on City Data. They removed the name and other information. I think the interconnections of the sites pretending to help students and enterprises that make big bucks from college consultants is a real problem.

The roll-out for their latest album, "Stars and Satellites," started in the shadow of the Aerial Lift Bridge with their appearance on "A Prairie Home Companion" back in February, and now Trampled by Turtles will return to their home turf for an even more special occasion. The nationally burgeoning string pickers just announced a July 8 performance at Duluth's scenic Bayfront Festival Park as part of the Twin Ports Bridge Festival, all proceeds of which will benefit the recovery efforts from last week's devastating flooding. Tickets go on sale today at 10 a.m. for $35. Click here to purchase online. Two-day passes to the fest can also be bought for $60.
Lucy Michelle & the Velvet Lapelles, the Hobo Nephews of Uncle Frank, Trapper Schoepp, Solomon Witherspoon, Sarah Krueger, Mary Bue and more are also all on the Sunday lineup for the festival. The Jayhawks, Honeydogs, Charlie Parr, Caroline Smith & the Good Night Sleeps and others were already set to play the fest on Saturday. Proceeds from Saturday's show will go toward the previously designated charity, the Music Resource Center. Sunday's money will go to the United Way's flood fund, as will any extra proceeds from Saturday's show after the $10,000 goal for the center. Bayfront Festival Park is also where Wilco is set to play this Sunday.
According to the Duluth News Tribune, Trampled frontman Dave Simonett contacted Duluth Mayor (and TBT Fan No.1) Don Ness right away last Wednesday about doing a benefit show. Trampled's members coyly sent out a tweet last week directed at the mayor's Twitter account that read, "s'pose we should have a show, eh?" Ness appeared with the band alongside Minneapolis Mayor R.T. Rybak at First Avenue in April for the release party for "Stars and Satellites." Three of TBT's five members still live in Duluth, where the group formed in 2003.

Juan Clemente Creator Dies
David Savona
Posted: August 12, 2010
Jean Clement, a Frenchman who made the Juan Clemente cigar brand in the Dominican Republic for some 28 years, died yesterday in New Orleans, site of the International Premium Cigar and Pipe Retailers trade show. Members of ProCigar, the Dominican cigarmaking organization to which he was a member, confirmed his death. His age was not immediately available.
Clement was born in the Champagne region of France, and moved to Latin America as a young boy. Before the Dominican Republic was a major producer of premium cigars, Clement was inspired to begin making cigars in that country. In April 1982 he launched his cigar brand in France and Switzerland, using a Latinized version of his name. Jean Clement became Juan Clemente. While the cigars were sold in the United States, their biggest following is outside the U.S., and Juan Clementes claim wide international distribution. The cigar's markets include Canada, Spain, France, Switzerland, Japan, Hong Kong and many Latin American countries.
His cigars were immediately recognizable by their footbands and bit of foil that covered the foot of each cigar. Clement's company was known as Tabaquisa S.A.

I use this silica powder nearly every day. In winter I use it for shine on my forehead and nose but in summer it is a lifesaver when my face sweats like crazy. It so far is the only good powder I found for summer heat, but I love how this buffs out large pores. It doesn't add any more color which often makes me look over made up which I have heavy hands so I need a colorless sheer finish. Only takes a little to fill in pores to make my face look more smooth. This is a must have for me.

I saw this at Ulta and the first thing that caught my eye was the sleek packaging. It is packaged in a black, professional-looking container. I apply my makeup in the morning around 6 and I go through a long day at school including physical education and somehow I do not need to blot throughout the day. This powder definitely keeps me matte and I love it!
This is the first product I ever try from NYX, but after using this powder I will definitely look into trying out more stuff from this brand.
Had high hopes but not nearly as a refined finish as MUFE's version. Looks and feels chalky, and made me breakout.
Holy cow! This powder is life changing! It sets even my creamiest foundations and keeps me shine free and natural looking all day! No white cast, just a perfectly set face that lasts hours! My T zone is oily so when I first tried this and looked in the mirror hours later, I was amazed! For ten bucks, I will continue to repurchase! I love this powder.
7 out of 7 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I have no idea why no one is really talking about this in the YouTube world, but I love this product!! WIll continue to repurchase time and time again. Sets my makeup, gives me a wonderful, naturally matte look, yet does not cake up no matter how much I put on! Love love love. Price is cheap, product is amazing. My only con is that I wish there was more in a container... I go through this like water.
2 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
It has taken me 7 years to find a product that controls oil on my obnoxiously oily skin. And when I say "oily" I mean "within 30 minutes of applying foundation my forehead and nose are glistening." I have tried so many different primers, foundations, powders and skin care products - everything from high to low-end, and nothing has came close to controlling my oil like NYX HD powder. I can go 8-9 hours now before noticing a sheen of any kind which is a small miracle in my book.
Yes, the packaging is horrible. The sifter top has too many large holes and since the power is very fine, whenever you open the top, it flies everywhere. My solution was to only open 1 hole and keep the others taped off. I flip over the jar, give it a tap on the bottom then flip it back over and tap it on top. I have found that what remains on the top after opening the jar is plenty of powder to cover my entire face, while keeping the mess to a minimum. I apply this powder with either a fan brush or an EcoTools powder brush.
For $10 at Ulta, this is a steal and I will be repurchasing when I run out.

Another raving review. Surprise! This was the first drugstore setting powder that I've tried. I've always used high end setting powders. I was a little hesitant. I wasn't sure if this was going to dry me out (since I have drier skin). To my surprise, it didn't dry me out! In fact, my makeup stayed in place for 5+ while in college classes! Booya! The less makeup I have to reapply the better.
Best. Setting Powder. Ever.

- mattifies

- blurs imperfections
- little goes a long way
- leaves white cast in flash photography
Comments: HG powder for oily skin! This controls my oil so well and gives such a beautiful, flawless finish. It's so finely milled and a little goes a very long way. A light dusting with your favorite powder brush is all you need. Do not load this on! It also helps to keep my concealer from creasing in my fine lines.
Will repurchase.
