REVIEW: This princess of pain needed her female bandmates to add humor and grit to her formalism.
Sarah McLachlan was the unwitting poster child for what was wrong with the concert business in 2010: ill-conceived concepts and overpriced tickets led to the financial disaster of her all-female Lilith Fair redux.
McLachlan, a saint of women's music and unimpeachable social do-gooder, got her groove back this year by touring theaters with reasonable tickets prices ($40-$75) and the kind of intimacy befitting her ornate melancholic pop. Nonetheless, she has turned the Sarah McLachlan & Friends Tour into a mini-Lilith. Two of the women in her band are Lilith alums, and they got to sing their own numbers Wednesday at the soldout Orpheum Theatre -- not as opening acts but during McLachlan's set.
Although one boisterous fan was put off by this approach (and put in his place by a firm but friendly retort from McLachlan), it proved to be a canny move. Butterfly Boucher and especially Melissa McClelland provided much-needed and winning contrasts to McLachlan.
Everything about McClelland, a 31-year-old Canadian, was right -- from her songs and voice to her personality and patter to her humor and cherry-red shoes. Her duet with her husband, McLachlan's longtime guitarist Luke Doucet, on "Broken One," sounded like the best commercial country song I've heard in quite some time. Bassist Boucher, a 31-year-old Aussie, was less consistently impressive, but her edgy pop added much-desired grit to the 2 1/2-hour, two-set program.
McLachlan, 43, one of pop's most passionate princesses of pain, showed her vulnerability and resilience at the Orpheum. Her divorce from her drummer/husband was the main topic of last year's comeback album, "Laws of Illusion," and a focus on Wednesday. Although she admits to being happy and liberated now, her unflinching earnestness muted the emotionalism of her formalist pop, which doesn't mesh with today's in-your-face dance pop. She's never willing to let her hair down, cut loose and reach a transformative moment. There seemed to be too much woe-is-me ennui and not enough catharsis.
When McLachlan went the quieter, more organic route on the acoustic "Good Enough," there was power in her simplicity. She was looser in the second set, when strong opening performances by McClelland and Boucher combined with McLachlan's personal and light-hearted Q&A with the audience (via written questions submitted to her merchandise stand) seemed to open her up.
The gorgeously gospel "Angel," featuring just three female voices and McLachlan's piano, took on new meaning, especially after she explained in the Q&A what sparked it (the overdose death of the keyboardist in Smashing Pumpkins). And on "Possession," a rocker that sounds like her attempt to write a Heart song, McLachlan finally cut loose and wailed at the very end, showing the passion and power to go with all her Lilith-evoking purposefulness.

text: Pregnancy > Pregnancy Tools Checklist: Nursery Decorating A full list of dos and don'ts when it comes to decorating baby's nursery. Photo: Mark Lund A few things to keep in mind as you put together baby's nursery:[ ] Finish all painting and wallpapering at least eight weeks before baby is expected, and leave windows open for aeration until the actual arrival. These activities release potentially harmful fumes, but finishing them early should eliminate any risk to baby.[ ] Notice where light enters the room. Don't put the crib somewhere that receives direct sunlight in the morning or is under a streetlight all night.[ ] Check that none of the crib slats are more than two and 3/8 inches apart, and that all the bolts and screws are tight. Make sure there are no gaps between the mattress and crib, and look out for any small parts or plastic coverings.[ ] Keep comforters and pillows out of the crib -- they could suffocate baby. If a pretty blanket came with the crib set, try hanging it on the wall or using it on the rocking chair.[ ] Make sure there's room to replace the crib with a bed once baby is ready.[ ] Use wood or cork floor or area rugs rather than wall-to-wall carpet if you can. They're all easier to clean, and don't harbor as much allergy-inducing dust.[ ] Secure rugs to the floor with double-side tape. Wouldn't want one to slip while baby's in your arms![ ] Figure out how much storage space you'll need… then put in more. Almost without fail, parents underestimate the amount of stuff they'll acquire.[ ] Don't forget somewhere for you to sit, and make it comfy. You'll spend lots of time reading and rocking in that chair.[ ] Keep all diaper supplies close to the changing table, so you don't have to move far from baby to reach anything.[ ] Place furniture away from the windows, and use window guards. Also, cut off any blind or curtain cords, or put them up out of reach.[ ] Anchor all heavy furniture to the wall so it won't fall over if accidentally bumped. -- Paula Kashtan See More: 3rd Trimester , Nurseries , Pregnancy Tools Previous Article: Checklist: Nursery Next Article: Checklist: Packing a Hospital Bag Pet Safety During Pregnancy Luckily, you don't have to send Scruffy or Mr. Tangles away once you find out you're pregnant.

Why Adoption is a Great Option
Si, a white settlment Chow Chow dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Chow Chow for sale in white settlment, or seeking a Chow Chow dog from a breeder in white settlment.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in white settlment already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a white settlment breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Chow Chow breeders who help with Chow Chow rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in white settlment paves the way for another one to be saved.

Broadcast regulator TRAI on Wednesday informed the Supreme Court that it plans to cap the monthly cable TV charges at Rs. 250 across the country, except in areas where conditional access services are available.
In an affidavit filed before the Apex Court, the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI) said it is considering limiting the monthly cable charge to Rs. 100 per month for a minimum of 30 free-to-air channels.
Moreover, TRAI said for those subscribers opting for a basic package (which includes Doordarshan channels) with up to 20 pay channels, the monthly bill will be fixed at Rs. 200.
Customers choosing a basic package with over 20 pay channels will have to pay Rs. 250 per month, TRAI said.
TRAI's filed the affidavit after the Apex Court had directed it to formulate a comprehensive pricing mechanism for cable services in non-CAS areas after consulting various stakeholders.
The regulator, in its affidavit filed through counsel Sanjay Kapur, said: "... A retail price ceiling — at a reasonable level — that balances the consumers' interest with the growth potential of the industry is warranted in the case of cable TV services in non—CAS (conditional access system) markets."

iPhone OS 4.0 Already Jailbroken (video)
The iPhone OS 4.0 was announced only yesterday (yay multi-tasking!), and already its been jailbroken by the always-crafty Dev Team. Of course, this doesn't mean the official release will feature the same security flaws that allowed the exploit to happen. But I'm just guessing they'll find a way to crack it, anyway…they always do.
The iPhone 4.0 OS is expected to be released this summer.

Does anyone know what kind of light asparagus ferns need? I've tried my books, but they have differing opinions, so I thought I'd go straight to the source and ask someone who has one! I've heard ferns don't like direct sun and was confused when one book said bright light. I currently have it where it is receiving some direct sun but not much. I can easily move it to a more shaded site if that is what is required. Any help appreciated. |
Follow-Up Postings:
Asparagus ferns aren't true ferns, and require bright light to full sun for best growth. Also, they need excellent drainage and prefer to dry out some between watering. If outside for summer same care required. Good luck. josh |
I replied to this two days ago, but it never appeared. josh has answered your question well. I notice that he and I are in the same zone. Here they will overwinter in the ground, coming back from the roots. However, in your climate zone likely they will freeze if left out. You can lift them and winter them indoors. Just keep them above freezing. The little "peanuts" on the roots are water sacs, so they can survive for a time without water, but they don't wilt when their water supply is completely gone- they just DIE. In So. Florida they have naturalized and are considered somewhat of a nuisance. They are very tough. |

Eileen - I've found that inside (winter) they can take full sun, but outside (summer) they seem to do better in mostly shade. They divide well as hanging plants also. I try to keep them on the damp side; they WILL die if left too long. Enjoy! |

Reviewed Beer Cheese Dip
Jul 8, 2012 in Food Network Community Toolbox on FoodNetwork.com
"This recipe is really easy to make and delicious. I used Lost Coast beer. I'm not a beer drinker (I actually don't like beer at all) but didn't even taste a hint of it. It was a great emulsifier as well ( used 1/2 cup). I would recommend eating it with a less salty dipper such as veggies or non-salted tortilla chips. We used regular ruffles and it""

Potato Salad
Epicurious | © 2005
Reprinted with permission from Brini Maxwell's Guide to Gracious Living
Makes 10-12 servings
What family reunion would be complete without potato salad? This is my mother's recipe. It's delicious tasty and tangy, just as potato salad should be.
- 10-12 Red Bliss potatoes, boiled
- 6 hard-boiled eggs, shelled
- 3 tablespoons mayonnaise, plus additional if needed
- 1/2 teaspoon curry powder, plus additional to taste
- Salt to taste
- Pepper to taste
- 1/2 cup black olives
- 1/2 cup cocktail olives (reserve 1 tablespoon of the brine)
Cut the potatoes and eggs into small chunks about a 1/2 inch square. Put them in a bowl with the mayonnaise, curry powder, salt, pepper, olives, and reserved brine and mix until well combined. If you find that the ingredients aren't wet enough, you can add more mayonnaise everything should hold together nicely. Let stand overnight to give the ingredients a chance to marinate. Taste the next day for seasoning. If necessary, add more curry powder, salt, or pepper.

I am trying to set a logon background for my Windows 7 PC's.
I have created my group policy preferences to firstly create a folder using the following: %winDir%\System32\oobe\info\backgrounds
That works and I get the folder to appear
but then I use the File group policy preference
Source file: \\myserver\wallpapers\backgroundDefault.jpg
Destination File: %windir%\System32\oobe\info\backgrounds
Now you would think that should work... but ofcourse it doesn't because it keeps telling me access is denied..
How can I tell the folder to allow this preference to copy the wallpaper?
has anybody achieved this without having to manually go around each pc logging in as the administrator and copying the wallpaper into the folder?

Neil Patrick Harris can't wait to marry partner David Burtka.
The 'How I Met Your Mother' star has been engaged to the chef for over five years and the actor is eager to tie the knot because he wants to be able to call David his "husband".
The 38-year-old actor - who has 15-month-old twins Gideon and Harper with David - told Out magazine: "I'm not the biggest fan of the word 'partner'. It either means that we run a business together or we're cowboys.
"'Boyfriend' seems fleeting, like maybe we met two weeks ago. I've been saying 'better half' for as long as I've been able to. I think it's a little self-deprecating and clearly defines that we're in a relationship, but it would be nice to say 'my husband.' "
Neil also admits he and David have their ups and downs like any other couple.
He said: "Sometimes I'm deeply in love with David and head-over-heels, and sometimes I question whether it's going to work out and is meant to be. It's more good times than bad, but it's not always good."

I left this game a year ago because of the attitude of the community and now I'm back. The whole giving honor points and **** is great. This tribunal is not. I see people who don't say a word and are just plain bad at the game getting reported and I pray they aren't actually getting banned for that because the whole team reports them. It's just plain idiocy to give that much power to the idiots. My suggestions are: -Get rid of this tribunal, but keep the honor system. The tribunal causes more problems than the ones it's supposed to solve. - Let people get honor points in custom games like ARAM. The behavior will increase I assure you. - Also, a great deal of your player population plays ARAM. (unrelated topic, sorry) Just make it a normal game so we too can get a decent amount of IP.
Jesus the Friend
Honor in joke modes like ARAM and general custom matches will result in severe inflation. /notsigned

*sigh* So what do you suggest should take the place of Tribunal? or are you in favor of there being no visible punishment system where people can feed, harass, or troll games without having to worry about going in Tribunal? You also assume the masses of people who vote on Tribunal are idiots. That's not how you go about wanting to change something by insulting those who use it. You should read up on Tribunal before you make up assumptions.
Honor is an indication of how often the people you play for or against remember to click the button. That's it.
J-the friend. 1/10 of the population is actually a big number. If it's meant to be a happy-go-lucky game type than why should you have reporting? It takes the fun out of anything. Shiis I said the reporters are idiots, not the tribunal. However, if they should keep the tribunal, than they should at least narrow down the reasons for reporting. Trying to take trash talking out of gamers is borderline folly as admirable as that is. The honor system counterbalances it. Rewarding should take place of punishing imo.
There's a simple fix to trash talking. It's called "ignore". I don't even know if they have it, but if they do it should be more readily available. Everyone loves getting points. Everyone loves being commended. It's in human nature. I'm not the only one would agree that players are cutting back on the harshness in the words just so they can get that little ribbon around their border. So I disagree wholeheartedly that the honor system is worthless. Also, I'm sure people will return to negative behavior, but I also believe that because it takes so long to get that ribbon that they will unknowingly condition themselves to a better attitude. They will notice an increase in wins as well. It's a great implementation of maturity. Both of you are saying it gets rid of problems but are ignoring the problems it introduces. - Gamers are getting banned both good and bad. In light of the good gamers getting banned, other good gamers are leaving. It's frustrating to watch someone be subjected to "reportreportreport" when they in fact did nothing wrong. It's unhealthy behavior and it's the Tribunal to blame.

It is in fact man disrupting the normal weather pattern these chem trails as well as the HAARP activity that goes along with it at times.Tell me does chemicals like barium,strontium and or aluminum belong in the earth's atmosphere? No I don't think so. This is what is being sprayed and when it rains these chemicals must come down from the skies and this effects trees and or other plant life.

Passengers in the back seat may find themselves a little more cramped in the Toyota RAV4 than the Jeep Wrangler Unlimited.
As far as headroom and legroom go, there's not much difference between front seat comfort in the Toyota RAV4 and the Jeep Wrangler Unlimited.
You'll be making about the same number of stops at the gas station with the Toyota RAV4 as you will with the Jeep Wrangler Unlimited, as they are both able to travel similar distances on a tank of gas.
There are a lot of factors to consider when calculating the overall cost of a vehicle. The main consideration is Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP). When looking only at MSRP, the Toyota RAV4 will have less of an impact on your bank account than the Jeep Wrangler Unlimited.
Another consideration is the Destination Charge, which is a standard charge for transporting the vehicle to the dealer from where it's built. The Toyota RAV4 carries a much lower Destination Charge than the Jeep Wrangler Unlimited.
The Toyota RAV4 is a little narrower than the Jeep Wrangler Unlimited, so you'll have an easier time getting in and out of the car in a tight parking spot.
The Toyota RAV4 is slightly shorter than the Jeep Wrangler Unlimited, which may make it easier to park.
The Toyota RAV4 has much lower torque than the Jeep Wrangler Unlimited, which generally means that it won't feel as fast or powerful.

Make That Bob Dylan's "Play It Fucking Loud" – A Classic Moment In Rock & Roll That May Or May Not Have Happened
This is a Classic Moment In Rock And Roll. Forty-four years ago, Bob Dylan, defying those who demanded he reverse his self-transformation from folk music's anointed successor to Woody Guthrie and Pete Seeger to an electric guitar-wielding practitioner of rock and roll, sounded the legendary battle cry, "Play it fucking loud."
In any case, this musical milestone is brought to you today in keeping with the Heck Of A Guy mission to enlighten those unaware of such significant cultural events, especially those of my own cohort who, like me, were subverting what could have been a delightfully misspent youth by attending to schoolwork, teenage romance, parental placation, and similar endeavors of transient. slight importance while inexplicably overlooking the portentous, epoch-marking phenomena then taking place.
Two elements are pertinent to the setting of this well known, well documented, perhaps apocryphal Classic Moment In Rock And Roll.
- In 1965 and 1966 Bob Dylan was indeed moving from folk music to rock. During this transition, a number of Dylan's concerts were structured such that the first half was presented in the folk style with which Dylan had hitherto been identified while the second half was a rock and roll performance, replete with electric guitars, keyboard, and drums. A large proportion of the audiences greeted the rock concert segments with jeers and hostility, reflecting the feelings of a significant contingent of Dylan's fans that he had deserted the pure sound of folk as well as abdicating the social causes associated with protest songs, union songs, and the musical tradition of folk icons such a Woody Guthrie and Pete Seeger.
- Martin Scorsese's 2005 film, "No Direction Home," presented the story of Bob Dylan's evolution from 1961 to 1966 into a full fledged superstar in a cinematic stew of interviews (including Scorsese himself interviewing Dylan) conducted for the movie and archival footage, including several concert performances.
The Critical Quote
This excerpt from Wikipedia is congruent with the account offered in Scorsese's film:
Footage from the Manchester Free Trade Hall concert, at the end of that film ["No Direction Home"], includes the infamous Judas heckle incident. During a quiet moment in between songs, an audience member shouts very loudly and clearly: "Judas!", to which Dylan replies: "I don't believe you, you're a liar" before telling his band to "Play it fucking loud!" as they begin to play an acidic version of "Like a Rolling Stone".
He Said/Someone Said
The problem with this totemic phrase, which has been embedded in the Bob Dylan mythology and frequently advanced as one of his defining moments, is that it isn't completely clear exactly what was said or who said it. This extract from All Along The Watchtower, which begins a thread discussing the issue, is characteristic of the controversy:
I was reading in the latest issue of ISIS magazine about the Manchester 1966 'incident'. A very well written article by JJ Stenzoski. He suggests that the 'Get Fucking Loud!' (or whatever it may be) comment wasn't made by Dylan, as evidenced by the 'No Direction Home' DVD. Personally I agree, never ever thought it was him.
Resolving the question of what was said by whom is further complicated by the 44 years that have passed since the event and the fact that the material presented in "No Direction Home" was specifically selected and the final results edited; consequently, it is impossible for a viewer to know with confidence if the comments from the stage were actually generated in response to the shouts from the audience or if the remarks made by Dylan (or perhaps a band member) were retorts to other expressions from the crowd not heard on the film.
Having watched the film segment myself several times, I am definitely uncertain. Were I forced to commit, it seems to me that Dylan's mouth movements don't match the quote.
Does it make a difference? By this time, with the phrase firmly ensconced as a mantra in the minds of most fans, issued as a call to arms in blogs and magazine articles, and emblazoned across t-shirts – probably not. Would it change things if a historian discovered that the words "I have no yet begun to fight" were uttered by Second Mate George Smith instead of John Paul Jones?
But, who said what does merit our interest. So, let's go to the replay.

Understanding load averages and stretch factors
What is the real meaning of those little "load average" values in the output of shell commands like procinfo and uptime, and what can you do with these numbers?
Most Linux system administrators are familiar with those three little numbers that appear in shell commands like procinfo, uptime, top, and remote host ruptime. Uptime, for example, emits:
9:40am up 9 days, load average: 0.02, 0.01, 0.00
The load average metrics are always included within the output of commands like uptime. While the load average is well known to Linux system administrators, its meaning is often poorly understood. The man page for uptime states that these values represent
a one line display of ... the system load averages for the past 1, 5, and 15 minutes.
which explains why there are three numbers, but it does not explain what the word load means or how to use these figures to forecast and troubleshoot system performance. This article takes a close look at the load average metrics and how to use them.

New Orleans outside of the French Quarter
The Faubourg Treme was one of the first places in the southern United States where free African Americans owned property at a time when slavery still existed. It was also where the roots of modern jazz took hold. Slaves were allowed to gather each Sunday in Congo Square, an old slave market in Louis Armstrong Park, to drum and practise their music. Today, the site is still a spot for both impromptu and arranged musical celebrations and processions.
The history of the African American community's processional traditions is chronicled at the Backstreet Cultural Museum. Costumes belonging to the Mardi Gras Indians -- the "tribes" of African Americans who dress as Native Americans each Mardi Gras -- are displayed, as are photographs of Second Line Parades. A New Orleans tradition, the Second line is a raucous and impromptu street parade that follows a brass band through the street in celebration. The museum also looks at the charitable role played by the social aid and pleasure clubs (better known today as benevolent societies) that gained popularity at the turn of the century, and their struggle to maintain tradition in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina.
To dig into the soul of the Treme, you have to rely on your stomach. Tuck into classic New Orleans gumbo, etouffee or red beans and rice at favourites like Willie Mae's Scotch House (2401 St Ann Street, 504-822-9503), Li'l Dizzy's (1500 Esplanade Avenue, 504-569-8997) and Dooky Chase (2301 Orleans Avenue, 504-821-0600). It is neighbourhood restaurants like these, supported and patronised for decades by the local community, that add flavour to the true New Orleans experience.

Yumiko listened to Demetre humming, and she bobbed her head along to the tune. It was quite a cheery tune, something they all needed on a journey like this. Lentia Town was the next destination, but people were slightly worried about the long journey. Looking at the map, Yumiko noticed it wasn't the most lengthy, or perilous journey they would all take, but they had been moving all day and sleep would be beneficial. Thank goodness Hina's father's ranch wasn't too far away.
"Oh! Hina, does your father have Miltanks?" Yumiko loved Miltanks, she could cuddle them all day if she didn't hate the smell of milk so much. A grassy patch was coming up, so the team would have to brace themselves.
"I wonder what wild Pokémon we'll run into around here..." Yumiko spoke to Demetre, with a finger on her chin.
((doesn't have to be monday, we can speed things up. Plus, nice tune! Watched LOTR for the first time a few days ago, it's a better film than I first thought))

I can see where someone with normal to dry skin would not be happy with this product, but at 57, my skin still breaks out. This wash leaves my face squeaky clean. If I find it drying, I will alternate it with a milder cleanser. That said, I suspect I'll be using this for a long time.
I've recently been on organic products wave ( I started with some GOW). I grabbed this at my local Trader Joes and was floored by the beautifully organic list of ingredients:castille soap,coconut oil, olive oil, tea tree leaf oil etc. I also have their Jojoba oil , which I love, so I thought I'd give this a try. I've only used it twice and never will. The smell is really strange, like really really strong cold tea, I had to hold my breath while I massaged this on my face. Afterwards my face felt super super tight and uncomfortable without that clean feeling.
Some pros: bottle has a pump, lathers well, truly organic, and 100% vegan.
The cons out weight the pros for me, so I will not be repurchasing.

Oh how this deceived me :( Thought this would be lovely and caring for my very intolerant-to-most-cleansers (argh!) skin as it is all natural, and I was previously using an oil to cleanse with (but needed a bit of decongesting).
After the first 3 or 4 times of use my skin was clear and smooth looking, despite the very odd smell and the insane tightness that was my face after using. Gradually though my skin was becoming drier, flakier, and red! Woke up one of the mornings and my face looked like it had been burned :( I knew it was this because I don't moisturise at night. No need to say that I stopped using it there and then.
As for the ratings: it's a good price, especially if you consider how much the ingredients cost alone, and the pump could be better - it squirted everywhere a couple of times.
More reviews by ridemeBIGsheldon
This review may be premature but I just have to say "wow" thus far.
I honestly just opened up the package last night and this morning my skin looks better already. This is the only thing I've adjusted - I had a small breakout along my hairline on one side - annoying - and it seems to have diminished already. I'm crossing my fingers in hopes that I'm not getting too excited already...
Very liquidy formula, but a little goes a long way. Scent may be too strong for some, too. Very foamy lather. Face felt very clean following.
Oh. My God. LOVE this :) So, the past month or so, I have been using new products, AHA, scrubs, and my skin *freaked* out. Totally broke out like a teenager. I had this under my sink, and just as a last resort, tried it. WOWOWOWOW. Three days later -- back to my normal skin! I use their Jojoba Oil at night, and their Blemish Stick for spot treatment. LOVE it! So re: the packaging -- I had a couple small bottles of Dr. Bronner's so I put it in that, and it's perfect!!! You have to turn the bottle upside down and push a tad -- since you literally only need few drops of this since it lathers up so well and the pump is not the best type of dispenser for this watery wash, this is the best kind of container to put it in :) LOVE it! When I run out I'm gonna get the refill giant bottle!

Skin feels seriously cleansed
Takes off makeup, hard to remove mascara, especially
Pores appear smaller
Haven't had one pimple in a month of using it
You really only need a little
Can make skin feel dry if you use too much
The pump needs work
Other family members start borrowing it

Watery but super cleansing. A little goes a long way, and the price is right. Made my combo skin look cleaner and more even almost immediately. The pump is indeed terrible. UPDATE 06/17/09: I completely changed my mind about this product after extended use. I'd never had whiteheads until I used this for a few weeks! Too bad.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
Bought this at whole foods on a whim, got a giant economy size bottle for under 10 bucks I think or close to that. I use this everyday followed by witch hazel toner at night, in the morning I use a light cleanser.
This cleanser is awesome, I pour some on my clarisonic brush and do my regular circulation on my face. I know this cleanser takes off everything because usually my clarisonic brush has a brown shade residue due to makeup but with this cleanser my clarisonic brush is white as pearl! Great for removing all my makeup no matter how heavy. This kept me clear for a month or so but recently my face broke out after trying a new line so now I have to use clenziderm to clear my face up before going back to this.
It's cheap, it works, buy it. :D
I'm a female, so i've used just about every facial cleanser under the sun right? I use to use this stuff as a teen and i loved it.. but all my friends always used.. the " Commercial " face washes.. ( haha i laugh at this now.. ) my mom was always telling me "if you want to buy that crap you can use your own money" so i started to buy the "clean and clear" and just about every other anti-acne cleanser. i was getting so frustrated because i could tell a def. difference in my skin.. my skin tone was out of wack. i was always a little red, my t-zone was a lot more noticeable. i was a mess. i quickly realized "mainstream" was not for me.. haha.. so after a couple of years of fighting with "using the cool face wash" i went back to my roots...
I love you can use so little of this and it goes a long way.. massive Foam. keeps your face totally clean. And i know for me.. my tone was instantly better with each use. Keeps my acne prone skin clean and my SUPER oily face under control. i always tone afterwards with Witch Hazel. I LOVE THIS STUFF.. don't get me wrong, i've tried to "Forsake" my favorite face was many a time. but i always come RUNNING back. I love you Tea tree oil and awapuhi ! Go DE!!
2 out of 3 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
dirt cheap, totally cleanses and there's just enough oils in there to keep my face from feeling completely stripped! the smell is, yes, a bit overpowering but it fades. the consistency is very thin and watery but foams up like crazy so only use the tiniest amount! and definitley SHUT YOUR EYES-this burned my eyeballs like crazy. organic ingredients makes me feel all that much better about using it. bought from trader joes.

Jonathan Saunders's First Pollini Collection: The Reviews Are In
Jonathan Saunders's First Pollini Collection: The Reviews Are In
>> Jonathan Saunders used colors aplenty and frothy, full skirts in his namesake Spring 2009 collection, and there was more where that came from for his first outing at Pollini. Complemented by Nicholas Kirkwood's minibags and high heels for the brand, Saunders sent out 27 looks that kept the press interested.
WWD raved: "a promising start of pretty clothes with plenty of commercial appeal"; Vogue UK wholeheartedly approved: "[Pollini] built its reputation on strong colour and prints — and Saunders proved today that he was without doubt the best choice to embrace that history"; and Suzy Menkes of the International Herald Tribune also saw good in the match: "slimmer tailoring, still with graphic patterns, was a less dynamic take and jersey dresses were too complex in their asymmetry. But this was a clear start for Saunders." Now just one important thing remains to be seen — can the collection sell (to editors and consumers)?

Mercedes-Benz E-Class Lease Questions
marias Posts: 9
CarMan@Edmunds Posts: 38,515
CarMan@Edmunds Posts: 38,515Hi nacho2. I believe that Mercedes is pushing 33 month leases on this car right now.
The advocacy program that you mentioned provides Mercedes dealers with a limited number of certificates that they can use to sweeten deals. I believe that the exact allowance provided through this program on the E350 sedan is $1,900.
$9,500 off of MSRP is a pretty aggressive price, but give it a shot you don't have anything to lose by trying.
Mercedes-Benz Financial's current 36 month buy rate lease money factor and residual value for the 2011 E350 Sedan 4Matic with 10,000 miles per year are 54% and whatever MBF's standard money factor is in your area...likely around .00240 for Tier 1 customers.
Prices Paid: Buying & Leasing Experiences Forum -
CarMan@Edmunds Posts: 38,515
CarMan@Edmunds Posts: 38,515Wow, $500 under invoice is a great selling price for a car that just came out. I'll have to see if I can find out what this car's residual value is for you, but I know that Mercedes is not providing any lease support on it yet. As a result, if you were to lease one through Mercedes-Benz Financial right now, you would have to use its standard lease program. I believe that its standard money factors vary by region, but should be around .00240 for consumers who qualify for its Tier 1 credit tier.
BTW, the acquisition fee that you mentioned is being marked up. Mercedes-Benz Financial's base fee is only $795. Furthermore, the terms "bank fee" and "acquisition fee" are synonyms. The $589 may be some sort of doc fee that the dealer is trying to pad your deal with as well. If so, these two items put your car's selling price at essentially $389 over invoice rather than $500 under...which is still a good price.

shawn757 Posts: 133Just signed A E350 bluetec including the conquest $4000 $10000 off of MSRP.
$62335 msrp
$494.00 A MONTH including tax for 24 month 15K miles a year.
Payment went up to $520 as I rolled in the mantainance on the payment. The autopay is 0.00200 another dealer told me. But this dealer insisted that it's 0.00230. I don't know who is correct. He said Mb WILL adjust it to 0.002 if they made a mistake. I don't know if there is any truth to that. Anyway it's great on millage I got 33.7 mpg for 65 miles. I hope it will be better later when the engine is fully broken in -
shawn757 Posts: 133I am sure any dealer can give you a deal other than Fletcher Jones. They are dishonest. Tried to tell me the conquest cash is $2000 when it's $4000. I told the MB told me it's $4000 and tey even tried to tell me that representative is mistaken. Allthe other dealers I dealt with was honest about the $4000. Fletcher Jones finaally told me that they earned their conquest coupons by being a volume dealer and they don't want to give it away like that. Then why do they say MB was mistaken? Worst dealership I have ever dealt with.

spuri1 Posts: 3Hey All,
I have used the Edmunds forums quite a few times in the past and find it very informative and helpful. So i wanted to post the lease deal i just got this past weekend.
2011 E350 - Black on black(MB Tex) with Premium 1 package and Parktronic
Selling Price: 48,190
Down payment: $3500 (Had equity in my leased Audi so i sold it to Carmax - $2300 +1200 out of pocket)
Terms: 24 mo with 7500 miles per year (I put very little miles on my cars per year)
Monthly payment: $509 (including taxes)
Got the deal from Mercedes Benz Torrance. Mercedes Benz Laguna Niguel was willing to the same deal. Torrance was around the corner from me so i went there. Both sales people were excellent. Email me if you want to know sales person names.
Hope this helps! Bob -
shawn757 Posts: 133I am in LA county. The dealership is House of imports. They did not have the car but got the car from another dealer and still gave me $10K off. I can also recommend encino and South bay even though South bay said that they ran out of the conquest coupons for July and backed out of the deal.
shawn757 Posts: 133
alexanderv Posts: 24That's kind of funny actually. I had a different experience with them. I'm in L.A. too. I visited that dealer a couple of days ago. The initial discount they offerred me was $6750. When I started to walk, they followed me into the parking lot with an offer of $9k off of the selling price for the lease, and a warning that the conquest cash ends that day. (Oh, the drama!) I had already decided that I would not go for less than $10k off, so I walked. Even with the $9k, their number were screwy at $583/mo. They must have already had a good month by the time I visited them.
alexanderv Posts: 24
CarMan@Edmunds Posts: 38,515
CarMan@Edmunds Posts: 38,515Hi seank. A selling price of $3,700 below dealer invoice is excellent. The money factor that you were quoted looks about right as well. This deal is pretty expensive, payment-wise, because you're going with such a short lease and such a high mileage allowance though. If you can, you may want to consider going with a 30, 33, or 36 month lease. It would make your monthly payment a little better. Other than that, I personally don't see anything wrong with this deal.

CarMan@Edmunds Posts: 38,515Congratulations on getting your new E, spuri1. Thanks for taking the time to share the details of your deal with everyone. As I'm sure you know, real-world examples of leases like this are always helpful for others who are in the market for similar vehicles. Enjoy your new ride :shades: !
