Jupiter, Fl: The Burt Reynolds Institute for Film & Theatre (BRIFT) recently announced its Winter Schedule of classes. In discussing what The Institute has to offer, Executive Director Kelly Dennehy said, "New Year's resolutions fail because, for the most part, they are boring. At BRIFT, we offer classes that not only improve but excite the spirit and the mind."
On January 9th at 7 pm, Patty Serrano begins teaching the six week course, "Teleprompter: A Tool for the Actor and Business Professional." If the thought of public speaking gives you the jitters, fear no more. Learning how to use a teleprompter will keep you from tripping over your feet… and your tongue. This proficiency course provides an opportunity to learn and grow comfortable with one of the most helpful tools used by actors and business professionals. Upon completion of the class, students will find themselves filled with greater confidence, especially when facing an audience. Included will be host technique, cold read preparation, walk and talk, ad lib and on the set dos and don'ts.
Another confidence building course being offered at The Institute is Improvisation Plus with Todd Vittum. If shyness is holding you back, join Todd on Wednesday evenings at 7 p.m. Improv Plus will help improve your sales pitch and presentation skills and may even make you the life of the party. A proven winner in helping people stay a step ahead of the competition, improvisation teaches "think quick" skills which lead to success no matter what profession is your chosen career.
If your wish for the New Year is to become a writer, The Institute can help make that dream come true. Writer/director/producer Frank Eberling brings his Screenwriting 101 class to BRIFT beginning January 10th at 7 pm. For six weeks, students will explore the fundamentals of screenwriting for today's films. The course will cover basic storytelling, an exploration of screenplay structure, plot development, character creation and dialogue as well as standard formatting rules. Emphasis will be placed on meeting ACT 1 requirements, pitching your story concept, and avoiding common rookie pitfalls.
For further information on these and other courses offered at The Burt Reynolds Institute for Film & Theatre, contact firstname.lastname@example.com or call 561 385-1584.

The Montana Varieties of clematis grow quite large so be aware...your variety "Rubens" will get to be anywhere from 21 feet to 30 feet with maturity..they are Evergreen Spring time blooming clematis ..some are heavily scented..I plan on planting a Montana this fall called "Mayleen" which is very heavily scented and a pink instead of the white like your "Rubens"..please check out the link I have provided...the Montanas are a pruning group 1 which means no prune..but to keep in bounds you can prune after they bloom ..Hope this helps..Jeanne ps..I do have a Montana "Spooneri" which is in its second year and is already 10+ feet long in both directions.. |

The montanas are big, vigorous vines that are relatively easy to grow where hardy. They are very happy in full sun but will tolerate light shade. They need a strong support system, as a well-established vine is large and heavy - one down the street is growing through an English holly, one of the better applications of these vines I've seen :-) They generally do not require any pruning other than to periodically keep the size in check and this should be done as soon after blooming as possible. Also not prone to wilt. The combination of the mass of rosy pink, lightly fragrant spring flowers held against bronzey colored foliage is pretty stunning. |
- Posted by gardengal48 PNW zone 8 (My Page) on Tue, Aug 8, 06 at 9:22
Just a small correction to Jeanne's post - montanas are NOT evergreen and the variety 'Rubens' is a rosy pink color (the term rubens, rubra or rubrum when applied to plants typically denotes a pink or red color). |
- Posted by jeanne_texas Z 8B TX (email@example.com) on Tue, Aug 8, 06 at 11:10
Gardengal..sowwy you are right...Montana "Rubens" is pink..I was thinking of my White "Spooneri"..My Montana "Spooneri" stays green leaved all winter here in Texas...why is that?? |
- Posted by gardengal48 PNW zone 8 (My Page) on Tue, Aug 8, 06 at 11:29
Clematis spooneri is really a distinct species, not a cultivar of montana. It also is not considered evergreen but several of the species clematis have an ability to retain their foliage in mild winters in a protected location - SAC is often reported to do so, although I have never experienced it. |
They are pink and do grow big. Here's a picture of my montana rubens taken last year when it was 2 years old. This year it goes along the fence over 30 feet. I'm trying to imitate one that someone posted a picture of in this forum several years ago. I think it is montana tetrarose which is a darker pink than rubens. I don't remember whose it is, but here's the picture I saved at the time: |
Bob, Is it a single clematis all over the hedge 8-) ? This is fantastic! |
That was my understanding (that it was one clematis), but the original post is long gone and I have no way of verifying that. |
Thanks for posting these photos. Your fence looks gorgeous (well, with the clematis against it, of course :-)). These pictures give some ideas for using Montanas... |
- Posted by jeanne_texas Z 8B TX (firstname.lastname@example.com) on Tue, Aug 8, 06 at 16:52
I remember that pic!!...Just gorgeous!!..Don't you wished they bloomed more often than just in Spring..Gardengal..You maybe onto something there..You know last winter was my first winter with "Spooneri" and we had an unusually warm, milder winter than usual..I will surely make note of it this year..but boy has it grown..and prettier with each year!!..This coming Spring of '07 will be its 3rd Spring and I am dying to see what that baby can do...I was told its other name was Montana "Spooneri"...but you say it's not of the Montana group??..I would love to know what Catergory it belongs if you know please....thanks..and BOB...your Montana will only get purtier with each year!!..Can't wait to get my "Mayleen" planted!!!...Jeanne |
- Posted by gardengal48 PNW zone 8 (My Page) on Wed, Aug 9, 06 at 9:20
Jeanne - you can probably thank careless growers for your confusion :-)) I think a good many are rather sloppy and not nearly as concerned about the correct naming/labeling of plants as they are about selling them. Montanas are far more common in the trade and more widely known than spooneri and the appearance is quite similar, so they lump them together. But they are two distinct species - spooneri flowers slightly later than the montanas and produces larger flowers than any of the white flowering forms of montana and the foliage is somewhat different as well. Like all of the early spring flowering species, it is considered a pruning group 1, requiring little or no pruning, except to control size. Re: the sloppiness regarding plant names in general and clematis specifically: as a horticulturist, it drives me nuts to see how the carelessness with labeling originating from sloppy growers gets carried to the general public and then gets into common usage. This is very common with the montanas - rubens, wilsonii, grandiflora and even tetrarose get bandied about as distinct cultivar names when in fact they are varietal forms (written as C. montana var. rubens, etc. - NOT as C. montana 'Rubens') There are named cultivars of montana, many originating from the pink flowering rubens strain and these can be labeled as either C. montana var. rubens 'Mayleen' or just as simply C. montana 'Mayleen'. It may seem to be a bit persnickity to fret about the correct labeling of plants, but the names are developed for a reason and according to very strict taxonomic rules - so that the plants remain distinct and there is no confusion to gardeners anywhere in the world when they refer to a specific plant, everyone else will know exactly to what they are referring. This is even more important when it comes down to breeding or hybridizing. It is the difference between the adorable, mostly lab mutt puppy found at the pound and the similar adorable, pedigreed chocolate lab puppy sold with papers by a reputable breeder - they both have the potential to be great pets but they ARE different and with different bloodlines. OK, off my rant :-) |

I agree wholeheartedly with your rant. It isn't persnickity, especially when one makes a living in horticulture/agriculture/floristry etc. Drove me crazy for over twenty years as a florist with a horticulture background. Sloppiness is part of it. Lack of education also. It occurs across the board, not just with Clematis. |
- Posted by johnphilips (My Page) on Wed, Aug 20, 08 at 1:12
Hi bleudolphin, I love this flowers too. Yes, it need full sun and partial shade, Montana Rubens is growing the height of 20 to 40 feet. If you want more information, you can check on the main page of this website. John Philips |
Fantastic show over the fence Golly-gee, hope/wish my clems grow like that. I had Spooneri in Sydney (Australia) about 10 years ago but moved house before it got very big, I posted a picture a month or so ago. Would love to get one and try it here but can't find a seller! Will keep looking. My reference suggests it is similar but not related to the montanas and also chrysocoma. |
I am thinking of planting a Montana at one end of a 30 foot chain link fence, and a Clematis Armandii at the other. So I would have a deciduous and an evergreen. Does anyone see any problems that could arise? The area has good circulation and fits light requirements for both types of clematis. |
- Posted by nckvilledudes 7a (My Page) on Wed, Dec 31, 08 at 8:49
I can't see any problem at all since the root systems of the two clematis will be thirty feet away from each other. Whether the two clematis' branches will ever reach each other and intertwine will depend on which specific cultivars you plant and your growing conditions since there are diferent cultivars of each type that grow to varying lengths. |
I have a redbud tree in my front yard that is really lovely in the early spring. But then it's done, and is just a pretty green, airy tree the rest of the year. I was wondering if I could send a flowering vine up the redbud, to add a second season, so to speak. And I thought of clematis, and saw the pictures of Montana reubens, and wondered if that would do. I would not want the new growth of the clematis to hide the gorgeous purple of the redbud. What do you think? |
- Posted by buyorsell888 Zone 8 Portland OR (My Page) on Wed, Apr 14, 10 at 21:43
Yes, you could but Montana reubens might be too big and heavy, you should probably go for one like a Type III that you can cut back every year and that doesn't bloom in spring. |
- Posted by steve1young Z-6B Long Island (My Page) on Sat, Apr 17, 10 at 4:56
Forest Farm has Clematis chrysocoma (spooneri). |
Here is a link that might be useful: Clematis chrysocoma (spooneri)
Does anyone know how do they resist in Winter? We have temperature low till -20 Celsius (-4 Fahrenheit). I want to buy one and I'm a little concerned it will not survive the winter. |
Montanas only bloom on old wood. At that temperature I would think the top would freeze and although it would probably grow again it would not bloom. |
20 years ago I planted a clematis I swear was called "Montana Montana" It has grown about 30-40 ft up a neighbors pine tree and taken over the vertical 4x8 trellis. It is very hardy and is Growing in Alpine, Ut. It faces south and the trellis is on the south side of a row of pines and a fence. It is an evergreen. The blossoms are very fragrant and why I bought it. Smells like vanilla. |
I am so glad to run into this site. I wasn't sure if I should prune my Montana Rubin. It is about ten years old. Every year it is better than the last. I have almost run out of space. I guess i will prune it a bit in a few weeks. |
A follow up post. We had a very very cold and snowy winter here on Long Island NY. I lost more than half of this plant. I guess I will have to chalk it up to a mother nature pruning!!! |

What are your favorite hydrangea companion plants? I'm trying to come up with ideas for foundation plantings. I would love to do all hydrangea but in New England I feel there should be some sort of evergreen to keep interest. At this point I am considering holly or boxwood or rhododendron... Then maybe hosta in the foreground along with alyssum annuals. Perhaps tulips/daffodils for early spring color... I welcome your ideas and photos! Thank you! |
Follow-Up Postings:
Early flowering camellia sasanquas or late flowering camellia japonicas will give you evergreen look and bloomage when other shrubs are shutting down or waking up. Hollies also sound good if their pointed leaves will not cause problems near walkways. Nothern Bayberry would produce food for the birds but it becomes semi-evergreen in some areas. Common juniper (Juniperus communis) may be ok if you like junipers. Canadian yew (Taxus canadiensis (sp?)) is good & hardy in Z6 shady spots. Some azaleas/rhodies are evergreen but I do not know about which ones are so in New England. Even if they are not, some varieties will produce bloomage at times when the hydrangeas are not blooming. Plus some produce nice autumn foliage. |

Thank you Luis! I'm exploring your camellia suggestion...not sure if I have the right conditions for it but I'm loving the April Dawn. |
That ones reminds of a striped one that I used to have called Eleanor McCown. I loved it because it began to produce sports out of one branch. Some blooms were normal, others were all pink, and a others were a mix of whote and pink. Contact Camellia Forest in Chapel Hill, NC at 919-968-0504 if you want to discuss possibilities with them. |

I agree with a few points raised in the article "Comparing Harvard apples with JNU oranges" (Dec. 27). But the truth is, as a nation, we have failed to upgrade our higher education. It is not only university ranking that shows our backwardness.
Even the scientific output in terms of research and innovations indicates the same. While compromise on quality at the undergraduate level is certainly an issue to be addressed, we need to focus more on investment in higher education.
Suresh Nandigam, Warangal
Not one of our renowned universities is universal in nature. Many universities represent the political interests of a certain group. Vice-Chancellors are political appointees serving the partisan interests of ruling parties or leaders. Students' unions are wings of political parties and have very little to do with academics. Their elections are bitterly fought with no holds barred. Whereas America's Ivy League institutions are exclusive, a class apart and beyond compare.

Creators of the original Singing Tesla Coils, the crew of ArcAttack uses their high tech wizardry to generate a truly 'electrifying' performance. Two custom engineered hand built Tesla Coils throw out electrical arcs up to twelve feet long, each one acting as an instrument with a sound reminiscent of the early days of the synthesizer. A robotic drum set accompanies the spectacle, it's high power LED's flashing bright colors with the stroke of each mechanically actuated stick, while ArcAttack's six members churn out rhythmic instrumental melodies. Live instruments meet drum loops and samples to produce rock, electronica and indie with a splash of punk and a dash of metal served with a side of pop. During the show, the MC engages both the crowd and the Tesla Coils by walking through ½ Million Volt sparks wearing the relatively thin layer of his chain mail Faraday suit. This high power performance is unique in it's elements and energy, being at the same time mesmerizing and energetically thrilling.

If an extension has more than one piece of functionality then it should be broken down in multiple extensions. The important parts are "single purpose" and "clarity of purpose ". Enforcement of this policy can prevent extension developers from adding unwanted features. The developer also would be required to specify the purpose of the extension clearly. This move benefits the end-user by giving him more control over his browser.
Last month it was announced that Chrome users on Windows wouldn't be able to install apps outside the webstore. A week back, extensions linking to torrent indexes were removed. With this latest change in developer policy Google seems to take concerns regarding security pretty seriously.

Tech Companies Worried Over China's New Rules For Selling To Banks 126
from the worried-all-the-way-to-the-bank dept.
Slashdot stories can be listened to in audio form via an RSS feed, as read by our own robotic overlord.
I don't know whether what he says is true, but beggars are not a typical sight in communism.
In a communist state, they would either not get much gain by begging on their streets (think Cuba, at least when foreigners are not involved), and or be thrown in jail by doing it (like what they say happens in North Korea)
Also, political leaders enjoying luxury goods and meals is the norm in most countries, communist ("real" or not) or otherwise.
It's not that common for companies to have principles to begin with, tough.
I find it quite believable, seeing how the Venezuelan govt simply issues orders to all ISPs to block the IP ranges of sites that make them uncomfortable; a famous victim is DolarToday.com, a site that tracks the black market currency exchange rate and now publishes unflattering news and opinion. I'd include a few traceroutes but I'm posting from my phone. Even pastebin.com was blocked for more than a year (haven't checked recently) because a list of URLs with leaked emails wad posted there.
Currency black markets are not "unconfortable", they are _illegal_. I'm sure there are examples of censorship in Venezuela, but that's not one.
Holy crap, that's the last place I'd expect a cable. It sounds like the only reason they did that is politics because of Chavez. The latency will suck.
The latency to where?
Latency to Venezuela can be good.
My city, Montevideo, an oldish city, with some similarities to Havana, was also wired by a state owned telco with fiber. Also most of the urban country is already fibered.
It's taking a bit over a couple of years, most of the city is covered, and the smallest plan is 30 dollars (or free if you a single Giga per month is enough for you).
Of course, 35 dollars in Cuba might be expensive, but also most of the cost they had here was labor, construction salaries are high. They wouldn't have that problem over there. They could even have you dig the ditches yourself if you want internet, dammit.
Anyhow, I would go with LTE. It's probably a lot cheaper, and flexible enough.
"It has so far been tested only on light-insensitive retinas from embryonic chicks, "
OMG!! They are called ladies, not "chicks".
Why would the Chinese government pay for something western governments get for free?
Networked is not the same. Internet connected or something like that might be better.
Also, networked _might_ imply wired for some, while IoT is more in the line of wireless, standalone.
Internet enabled is good, but already means other old, unrelated things.
It is a new trend, that is actually gaining some momentum right now, cheap systems on chip, BLE, and stuff, and it needs a name, so others what you are talking about. IoT is as good a name as any other. It doesn't really bother me, even if it's silly.
No reason to keep whining about it. There are possibly tens of thousands of tech people reading this today, if you have a better name, descriptive, not stupid, or whatever, please share it, below the line ----v , we might like it, start using it instead of IoT, and it just might catch on.
They are identical on paper, but not for a person.
It's a lot easier to get energy from doughnuts than from broccoli.
It's 5 medium doughnuts versus 5 broccoli bunches. I'm pretty sure I can have 5 doughnuts in a sitting, but not 5 broccoli bunches.
There's a lot of fiber in broccoli, so even if you manage to have all that broccoli, you will have a hard time extracting many calories from it. In any case, it will be slow, so at least it keeps you full for a longer time than doughnuts.
That's what is being done nowadays, counting calories.
The problem is that calorie consumption is not constant. It's more like household economy.
If you earn (eat) a lot every day, you will probably end up with a lot of savings (belly fat).
One way of getting rid of those savings (belly fat) is taking a lower paying job (dieting). The problem is that your savings don't magically dissappear, and you can make changes that allow you to keep your savings (fat), even with a lower income (daily calorie intake).
Another way you can get rid of your savings is just spending more daily (like exercise). The problem is that, if you have a good enough income (daily intake), and sizable savings, you will only lose capital (weight) in the long run, no sizable short term effect.
So, a fat person body works, in what respects to calories, like a financially savvy household. Going skinny would be like going broke. Some of us could benefit from a way to teach our bodies to do a bit worse in the calorie finance department. Could be a lot easier than just dieting, exercising or both.
To the systems programmer, users and applications serve only to provide a test load.

American Airlines Center
Attendance: 19,440
Dallas, TX (Sports Network) - Dirk Nowitzki scored a game-high 28 points and grabbed 13 rebounds, as the Dallas Mavericks easily beat the Charlotte Bobcats, 101-86, in the season opener for both clubs at American Airlines Arena.
Jason Terry added 22 points, and Jason Kidd had 12 points and 18 assists for the defending Southwest Division champions. The Mavericks went 55-27 last season, but lost in the opening round of the playoffs to the San Antonio Spurs.
Caron Butler was the fourth starter in double figures for the Mavericks, finishing with 13 points and four assists.
Tyrus Thomas finished with 22 points and six rebounds for the Bobcats, who reached the playoffs for the first time in franchise history in 2009-10.
Gerald Wallace ended with 16 points and nine rebounds for Charlotte in defeat.
Stephen Jackson and Boris Diaw contributed 14 and 12 points, respectively, for the Bobcats, who are attempting to improve upon a franchise-best 44 wins last season.
The Bobcats have never beat the Mavericks in their 13 all-time meetings. The streak extends back to January of 2004, when the Mavericks won, 105-99, during Charlotte's inaugural season.
Dallas held a 49-45 lead at halftime and extended its lead in the third.
An 8-2 burst to begin the quarter had the Mavs ahead, 57-47, following a Butler layup three minutes in, and the advantage ballooned to 17, 72-55, after Nowitzki made a pair of free throws with five minutes remaining in the frame.
"The last three minutes of the third quarter we reverted back." said Bobcats head coach Larry Brown. "We didn't run anything, didn't guard, didn't get back. Then we got it to nine with the ball, played with a lot of energy, but you're fighting uphill the whole game. Its pretty tough to come back on a team like that."
Nowitzki had 14 points in the third on 6-of-7 shooting to help extend the Mavericks lead to 13, 80-67, going into the fourth quarter.
"Our start was terrific and our third quarter start was terrific. We ended the half really well. We went through a tough stretch late first, early second." said Carlisle "But, those things happen. At halftime I just told the guys, listen, everything that was involved with that tough stretch is over, it didn't happen, let's move on. Second half overall we were much better."
The Mavs easily maintained their lead in the fourth, never leading by fewer than eight.
Dallas began the game on a quick 16-0 run, but the Bobcats cut their deficit to four, 25-21, at the end of the first.
"We talked about getting better starts," said Nowitzki "I think sometimes last year we ran over teams and sometimes we eased into the game and then the next thing you know we're down 10 and fighting an uphill battle especially at home."
Despite a poor shooting effort by the Bobcats in the second quarter, Charlotte, which shot 8-for-31 in the period, kept it tight and allowed the Mavericks only a slim four point lead, 49-45, at halftime.
"It was a great effort from everybody and anytime you hold a team to under 40 percent shooting you have a good defensive night." Said Nowitzki.

I don't know if this is a problem or not. I have a double knockout rose that I planted 10/06. Last year it looked terrific. This spring it's leafed out great, but now a bunch of the leaves are dried up and falling off. I live by Binghamton and last week we had a wicked frost. I'm wondering if its frost die back. I also have a climbing rose that's OK. I've fertilized the knockout and watered quite a bit. Any advice?
Also, has anyone heard that the organization who rates our zones have changed the zone designations? Supposedly my zone is now 6. |

It sounds like canker. The canes have dead spots lower down that prevent water and nutrients from travelling up the canes. Above the dead spot, the cane has enough reserves of it's own to leaf out, but not enough to keep things going. The only thing to do is to cut it off below that spot. It's usually waay down, on the underside of the cane. The 'new' zone map has been around for a couple of years now, I think. It's been discussed. The general consensus in the northeast seems to be that if you've already decided the old zones are too conservative, keep doing what you're doing. If not, again keep doing what you're doing. Personally for me, it doesn't matter whether I'm officially zone 5 or officially zone 6. I have to plant for zone 5 either way. |

Breakfast Topic: Tank anxiety {WoW}
Aug 3rd 2010 3:16PM I sympathise with your advent into tanking but I would have to ask why go the random/PUG route rather than get into a guild willing to help you learn? Don't get me wrong, there are some great PUG runs and cool people willing to help but if you want to really learn, guilds are really the best way to go. It will probably cure your nervous tick while allowing you to not have to 'lead' in that sense but rather listen. Just because the tank is leading doesn't make them the leader.
Breakfast Topic: How realms evolve (or don't) {WoW}
May 28th 2010 4:10PM Easily fixed, bring back the Scourge Plague as there was plenty of uproar after the first week. I recall when both sides were too busy keeping themselves alive too worry about ganking and camping their opposing faction. Maybe a new enemy needs to come alive to keep everyone occupied.
Or get real creative and store characters in a bank account to put on servers upon login thus allowing us to easily move characters from side to side to counter the imbalances. But then again, for every fix there will come a new fix as players get more ingenuis through working within the game mechanics/rules.
Scattered Shots: Damage meters are awesome {WoW}
May 27th 2010 12:43PM [yawn] [stretch] hey what's my dps on that?
Breakfast Topic: What story does your WoW subscription history tell? {WoW}
May 20th 2010 1:42PM My journey began long ago but has yet to end. I've remained on while trying everything from HG:L to GW to AoC to Bloodymare to Atlantica to WAR to Aion and virtually everything in between. I've left the game idle but never stopped altogether as it is too much fun to simply walk away from. Some call it too easy, some complain of the rampant disrespect in trade chat, or the disturbing trends of PUGs, or some see the difficulty of not being geared for raids, or any number of things that show how diverse and multifaceted the people are who play. In essence, the diversity of players keeps me around as much as the game itself. Like life, it's just too much fun watching how it's become so mainstream that even law schools take on causes therein. And for me, it's the games ability to transcend mere pixels and code that keeps me around for a journey that I don't see ending anytime soon.

Over the years, social media marketing has transformed in a variety of ways.
Utilizing images in social media campaigns has become very popular and effective. When you are sharing a post as a business on a social media platform it is important to use text, but too much text can become very boring for viewers. Therefore, adding an image that relates to your content can grab the attention of your audience. Some examples of how local businesses on Long Island are using images to capture the attention of their market include:
- Harbourview Shoppes, a Roslyn shopping center, recently shared this image on its Facebook page. The image triggered several emotions and memories from the members of the audience who engaged with this post.
- A 1950s themed cafe located in Melville recently shared a funny photo about a chicken crossing the road. The photo received 17 likes and 11 shares. Obviously, without the humorous text accompanying it, the photo would not have received as many likes or shares, further proving that we are a visually consuming society.
- A classic toy store located in Locust Valley posted text as well as a photo that showcased some of its delicious specialty candy. The image has corresponding text that allows individuals to relate to it.
According to nimble.com, a single image generates 120 percent more engagement than the average post. Images tell a story, and as the old saying goes, "A picture is worth a thousand words." Next time you post on social media, try using an image or some form of visual text. Who knows? In this instance, a picture could be worth a thousand likes.

This product is amazing. It leaves skin smooth and soft after using it, and the smell is a great fresh scent.
I am writing this review after my first use, which may seem odd, but keep reading and you'll see why.
My skin is oily/combination and prone to mild acne. After removing my make-up lastnight, I continued with this, instead of my usual cleansing scrub. I then moisturised as usual and went to sleep. Low and behold, in the morning, my skin felt tight all over, and even painful in some areas. And I always wake up with slightly oily-comfortable skin. I decided to put some of my day cream on my face to soothe it quickly, and it literally felt like my skin was absolutely gagging for the cream, and I had to reapply. This never happens to my oily skin. It is my opinion that this product is really not kind to skin and is to be used with caution. I will never use this again as a face wash.
However all is not lost, because I think this will work well as a spot treatment, to dry out active blemishes. I may also use this on certain parts of my body, like my back.
I wouldn't repurchase this and wouldnt recommend this to anyone.
I have been using Aveeno's Clear Complexion moisturizer for over a year now and love it. So I wanted a face wash to pair it with. This just didn't work, at all. My face did NOT feel clean at all. The foam just sort of disappears and you can't get a good wash. Also, very drying. And to make matters worse- the pump broke. And once that pump is broke you are S.O.L! $8 down the drain, literally. No thanks. I prefer creamy thick cleansers than foaming ones. On a (good) side note: I do love the scent of the whole clear complexion line.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I've been reading comments on it drying skin, it's suspose to be used with the matching moisturizer, without it if your skin is sensitive like mine it will dry it out. It also has SA in the moisturizer. I'd recommend once you wash your face pat it dry and put the moisturizer as soon as possible. Over all this product works well I have never found anything that completely clears my skin since I have a lot of small blackheads. I would recommend it as long as you have the moisterizer.
I use this every night and most mornings and I really see no difference in my skin. It doesn't feel any cleaner after using and doesn't prevent any of my breakouts. I think it does help a little once I actually breakout, but really not impressed. The only nice thing is when you rub it on your face it doesn't disappear like a lot of foam cleansers do. Will use until runs out because it doesn't break me out, but definitely will not repurchase or recommend.
This is the only thing that makes my skin soft, clean and even. I've been walking pass this product for years trying expensive brands and harsh treatments when it was right in my drug store... who would have thought??!? I will differently recommend this product and will be using this from now on.
More reviews by twisted_prncess
THIS IS MY CLEANSER! I have been on the hunt for so long for a cleanser that would not break out my combination skin or overdry it in the winter.....this is it!!! I love the fact that it is a foaming cleanser, pump, has a cap, and is effective! it has cleared up my skin and I really believe it has also evened out the tone. It is not the best at removing eye makeup but I can live with that. This cleanser is a godsend for me.....after only a week of using it I noticed a difference in my skin's appearance, and it continues to look great as I use it. The pump does tend to stick down so I took a lippie off for that, but given how small the bottle is, it goes a long way. I have been using it for a while and am still finishing up my first bottle. This cleanser is my new HG!
This product burned my face. My skin was red, sore and just very tender feeling after using. I do not have sensitivity to SA so it must be a reaction to another ingredient. The positives about this is it's a great value, removes makeup easily an foams up really nicely. Too bad it burnt my skin!
So first off I would like to say this face wash is not for everyone. I previously changed up my facial care routine due to the amount of money my previous cleanser cost. My previous cleanser was roughly $40 and considering I only paid about $8 for this I was a happy camper. First time I tried it I absolutely loved it, as I am a fan of aveeno products! The foam did a great job at cleaning my skin, leaving it smooth and touchable. After just three days of using this cleanser, I noticed my skin was getting very dry and believe it or not I now have blisters and burns all over my face. I immediately stopped using this cleanser and went to see my doctor to get a topical cream to soothe it, which hasn't helped very much as of today. I am really disappointed because I wanted to love this product! The packaging, price, and scent were nice but unfortunately, this cleanser did not like me at all. I have oily skin that is prone to acne and VERY sensitive and I am afraid to say I will be switching back to my expensive cleanser. If you notice your skin drying out due to this cleanser, I recommend you stop using it before it turns into something worse.
Over the last year I've been battling cystic acne which has started to go away but I still get pimples on my face. I've stopped using makeup remover and I use this twice a day instead. I've noticed a difference with my face after a week of doing this. Less pimples and less redness. It isn't drying my face out but I don't have oily skin like some other reviews mentioned. Overall this is a pretty light and sensitive cleanser. So far so good.

McDonald's Corporation announced global comparable sales growth of 3.9 percent in February, with a 5.1 percent boost from Europe's division. Sales were up 2.7 percent in the U.S. and 4 percent in Asia/Pacific, Middle East and Africa (APMEA).
These numbers follow a strong January in which global comparable sales were up 5.3 percent.
In Europe, comparable sales were led by France, the U.K. and Russia. Unique premium menu offerings, including France's new premium beef campaign and the Big Tasty featured in the U.K., ongoing restaurant modernization and enhanced customer conveniences contributed to the month's results.
In the U.S., comparable sales were driven by continued strong demand for McCafe beverages and the new Fruit & Maple Oatmeal.
APMEA was fueled by sales growth in Japan and Australia, partly offset by China due to the timing of Chinese New Year. Across the segment, menu initiatives, including limited-time offers such as the Big America 2 promotion in Japan and the Value Lunch program in Australia, are resonating with customers.
Systemwide sales for the month increased 8.1 percent, or 5.2 percent in constant currencies.
"McDonald's commitment to connecting with customers around the world continues to drive our sales performance," said Jim Skinner, McDonald's CEO. "When customers visit McDonald's they are looking for great-tasting food that is affordable, convenient and served in a contemporary and inviting atmosphere. We are pleased that more customers are finding their great restaurant experience at McDonald's."
McDonald's now No. 2
After sitting on top of the global unit count for so long, McDonald's has officially been dethroned. At the end of 2010, Subway had 33,749 restaurants throughout the world, compared to the Golden Arches' 32,737.
Domestically, according to the Wall Street Journal, Subway's unit count passed McDonald's in the U.S. about nine years ago.
Subway's growth is due, in large part, to its nontraditional locations such as movie theaters in India and Switzerland, a ferry terminal in Seattle, a riverboat in Germany, a ski resort in Finland, a zoo in Taiwan and more.

13 For, brethren, ye have been called to liberty; only [use] not liberty for an occasion to the flesh, but by love serve one another. | 13 You, my brothers, were called to be free. But do not use your freedom to indulge the sinful nature; rather, serve one another in love. |
14 For all the law is fulfilled in one word, [even] in this, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself. | 14 The entire law is summed up in a single command: "Love your neighbor as yourself." |
15 But if ye bite and devour one another, take heed that ye be not consumed one by another. | 15 If you keep on biting and devouring each other, watch out or you will be destroyed by each other. |
16 [This] I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye will not fulfill the lust of the flesh. | 16 So I say, live by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the sinful nature. |
17 For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these are contrary the one to the other; so that ye cannot do the things that ye would. | 17 For the sinful nature desires what is contrary to the Spirit, and the Spirit what is contrary to the sinful nature. They are in conflict with each other, so that you do not do what you want. |
18 But if ye are led by the Spirit, ye are not under the law. | 18 But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under law. |
19 Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are [these], Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, | 19 The acts of the sinful nature are obvious: sexual immorality, impurity and debauchery; |
20 Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, | 20 idolatry and witchcraft; hatred, discord, jealousy, fits of rage, selfish ambition, dissensions, factions |
21 Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revelings, and such like: of which I tell you before, as I have also told [you] in time past, that they who do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God. | 21 and envy; drunkenness, orgies, and the like. I warn you, as I did before, that those who live like this will not inherit the kingdom of God. |

Other than offering a metallic shimmer finish, these fragrance-free cream eyeshadows are identical to Brown's regular collection of Long-Wear Cream Shadow. As such, the same review applies: This silky, cream-to-powder eyeshadow applies easily, but blending must be fast because the formula sets quickly. It also doesn't have as much initial movement as powder eyeshadows, which can make blending difficult; but, with practice (and a good, synthetic hair eyeshadow brush), it can be done.
In terms of long wear, this passes with flying colors and absolutely refuses to crease—though you may notice slight fading by the end of the day. All told, this is a very good option if you're looking for a departure from powder eyeshadows, or something novel to use with a powder eyeshadow. And, because the two formulas go together easily, you can apply powder eyeshadow over or under Metallic Long-Wear Cream Shadow, if you are careful not to rub too hard.
Note: The metallic finish of these shades is striking, so you must apply them sparingly. The amount of shine will magnify wrinkles or a less-than-taut eyelid, so keep that in mind as you're perusing the shades. A handful of the colors are dark enough to work as eyeliner for occasions when you want your eye makeup to have more flair.
It all began with lipsticks. In 1991, New York based makeup artist Bobbi Brown debuted a collection of ten lipsticks at Bergdorf Goodman, expecting to sell about one hundred units in a month. She sold more than that the first day. From there, it's been mostly success after success, as Brown launched her classic foundation stick, wrote her first book, Bobbi Brown Beauty The Ultimate Beauty Resource, and enjoyed continued attention as an in-demand makeup artist and beauty educator.
The popularity of the line, particularly the makeup, did not go unnoticed by Estee Lauder, who acquired Bobbi Brown Cosmetics in 1995. Since Lauder has been at the helm the line has expanded well beyond what Brown likely envisioned back in the early 1990s, and it now includes fragrance and body-care products, among others. Yet it is Brown's makeup that continues to excel with superior foundations (though the ones without sufficient UVA protection disappoint), true matte blushes and eyeshadows, and with all of the other basics that are essential to a woman's classic makeup wardrobe. It isn't the least bit surprising that this makeup collection continues to do so well, because for many women, it's one-stop shopping that combines classic makeup application techniques with enough fun-yet-functional products to keep customer's interest piqued season to season.
Turning to the skin-care collection, there isn't a great deal to say or extol. The prices are rather steep, especially when you consider how many well-intentioned products use jar packaging, and fragrant irritants are a common thread, including in most of the sunscreens, which is a shame. Color is Bobbi Brown's strong point, but you will find a few sleeper hits among the selection of mostly inadequate or problematic skin-care products.

We admire Brown's latest philosophy on beauty. She says, "The secret to beauty is simple—be who you are." No arguments here! However, it's clear from promotional materials for this line that Brown believes being who you are should involve some amount of makeup, a concept many women may disagree with. Still, there's no question that the right makeup, applied and blended correctly, can make a world of positive difference to a woman, and in this regard Brown's counter staff is well-prepared. It was nice to overhear the makeup artists explaining step-by-step application tips to customers, rather than just pushing products. With just a few exceptions, this is a makeup collection its namesake creator should be proud of—not only for the products, but also for the level of service and education provided.
