I have never tried the RODIAL skincare line before and must say that it is one of the best skincare lines available. The products are amazing. I have been using the products now for about 2 months and love them all. My absolute favourite is the night cream. The texture is gel like and it just feels amazing when applied on the skin. The cream is so soothing. I absolutely love it.Also the day cream and the eye cream are great.I have used the products every day and like the results that I see. Fine lines seem to be a lot smoother. I will buy more products from RODIAL for sure. Love the products. It is one of my favourite skincare lines for sure.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Superb Results - almost unreal
By AngeloBB
from Vancouver, BC
I'm a 32 year old Male. I use to use Shiseido products and after noticing almost no difference in my skin. I decided to give up Shiseido and go for this product. It's a little more expensive however, worth every penny.It's been 5 using this product my skin looks AMAZING. However, if you have expression lines (forehead, smile line..etc) I would recommend the Snake Serum (it's expensive)however, you only need a little use a little bit. I use the snake serum on deep wrinkles on my forehead and again, I would say those deep wrinkles look 60% less noticeable. Before Rodial products I use to hate looking in the mirror in the stores because my skin just use to look awfull- not any more.

Dawn of the Ditch Lily
I purchased my home in 2008. Since then I have waged a constant war with the prior owner's planting choices. Most notably a huge orange ditch lily that refuses to die. I have tried every thing imaginable to get rid of it but I swear every year it comes back bigger than the year before! I have given up trying to dig it out after finding that any root piece left behind becomes a new plant. Last weekend I did the following:
1) Sprayed Round Up on every single shoot and piece I could find after cutting it. Waited 2 hours and repeated application.
2) Put 2 layers of garbage bags on top to smother it and keep light out.
3) Put half a box of leftover Porcelain tile on top of the garbage bags to further smother.
4) Prayed.
It's growing, and though it hasn't gone through the bags, it's several raised places high enough to cause the tile to move!! Short of setting it on fire - which I would do if it wasn't right next to he house - what else can I do to destroy this monstrosity?
Try using a broad leaf killer as well as the round up. That's what finally killed some of the Texas Evening Primrose, but it took almost two weeks.
Keep digging. Keep it covered. Go to the weed forum and see what advice they can give you. Good Luck!
Hate to say but I like it! Such a sucker for sentimental plants from my childhood. But inland sea oats? Bought at a master gardener plant sale and I am convinced that EVERY master gardener plant sale I have been to is full of invasive plants from h&$/
Jenny- Buy a gallon of Round-up (Glyphosate) Herbicide, NOT the pre-mixed ready to apply. It is a non-restrictive Herbicide, so you do not need a license to purchase. It is much cheaper this way any how and can be used on most weeds, trees and brush. Mix a 4% Round-up, 2% sticker mix and then spray in late summer/early fall. This will take care of your problem lily, but remember that this is a non-selective mix and will kill anything it touches.
Hope this helps,
I bought the concentrated Round Up and went to town with it. Saw some progress but the daylily continued to try and send up a few shoots so I put the plastic back down, more extra tile on top of it, and then left a bag of mulch on top of the area for extra weight. Waited 2 weeks, removed the bag but left the plastic and tiles. Added a few inches of mulch on top of it for aesthetic purposes.
I'm not seeing any signs of the ditch lily trying to push through all this but I pulled back a corner of the area and there look to still be live (though wilted and in bad shape) shoots underneath still!
Am I really going to need to leave it like this an entire year? The side of my house looks really odd with a 4ft gap between plants!

OAKLAND — Micah Johnson could make a switch to the outfield in the future, but the White Sox aren't there yet.
OAKLAND— The White Sox haven't had too many efforts like Tuesday's in 2014.
Awful might be a generous description.
OAKLAND — He has heard the chatter for months now and the rumors will only get louder now that Micah Johnson has arrived at Triple-A Charlotte.
Marcus Semien sat at his locker in the White Sox clubhouse before Sunday's series finale against the Diamondbacks getting a new batch of bats ready.

About John Murray
After graduating from the University of Connecticut in 1981, Murray worked for six years as a commercial salmon fisherman in Ketchikan, Alaska. The seasonal job lasted four months and filled Murray's pocket with enough cash so he could travel and explore the world. During his twenties he spent two winters in Europe, wandered through India, Nepal and East Africa, and most significantly, hitchhiked 40,000 across North America, where he learned to connect with people living in the shadows of American society. The travel experiences triggered Murray's career in journalism, which began shooting dramatic images from Southeast Alaska. Returning east, Murray worked at the Litchfield Enquirer, the oldest weekly newspaper in Connecticut, from 1987 to 1989, and then the Register-Citizen in Torrington, Connecticut, where he was the chief photographer from 1989 to 1993.
Shattered - The Seven Year Search For Billy Smolinski Jr.
When serious leads aren't followed up by law enforcement, Bill and Jan Smolinski scour the woods for the remains of their missing son Billy, who was murdered in August 2004.
Story and Photographs By John Murray
Picture the murder of Billy Smolinski as a crystal vase. Hold it in your hands. Spin it around. Now drop it on the kitchen floor and watch it shatter into a thousand pieces. Each shard of glass represents a clue into who killed Billy on August 24th, 2004. When patched together the vase reveals the gruesome truth of who murdered Billy, and why. The vase points to the spot Billy is buried in the Naugatuck Valley.

The Calling
Story By John Murray
Donna Palomba continues to fight back.
This time it's not against a masked rapist, two incompetent Waterbury police officers, or an insensitive newspaper; now Palomba and her Jane Doe No More organization are taking on modern American society, and its response to sexual assault.
Mayor's Race Heating Up In Waterbury
Game On
Column By John Murray
Waterbury Mayor Michael Jarjura is seeking a record sixth consecutive term.
(Editor's note - the following observations by John Murray were sharpened by dozens of interviews and conversations with political insiders throughout Waterbury)
After serving ten years as mayor of Waterbury one might think that Mike Jarjura had a firm grip on the local Democratic Party - his party - but you'd be wrong. As we careen towards election day 2011 Mayor Jarjura faces a revolution within the Democratic Party - much of it his own creation.
Observations October 2010
The Triangle
Column By John Murray
Marriages crash, couples fight, and the divorce rate in America remains at staggering heights. When the fog lifts there is usually an aggrieved ex-spouse harboring thoughts of vengeance. This is not news.
But the marriage of Ron and Cheryl Tompkins is not your typical love story gone south. It involves a cop and a federal lawsuit alleging an abuse of power by a prominent state prosecutor.
Billy Smolinski Was Murdered Six Years Ago. Where Is His Body?
The Search
Column By John Murray
Billy Smolinski was murdered six years ago. The effort to crack the case involves local, state and federal police. The Smolinski Family is now working closely with private investigator Todd Lovejoy, pictured above, tracking down leads.
Six years is a long time to hold your breath.

The Storyteller
Column By John Murray
Dave Howard after a book talk at the Constitution Center in Philadelphia
One day before Abraham Lincoln was murdered at the Ford Theater in Washington D.C., a soldier from the Union Army entered the statehouse in Raleigh, North Carolina, and swiped one of the 14 original copies of the Bill of Rights. Robert E. Lee had already surrendered to Ulysses S. Grant at Appomattox, but word traveled slow, and members of General Sherman's army continued to plunder the South.
Angry At A System They Trusted To Help Find Their Missing Son, Jan and Bill Smolinski Seek Federal Reform
The Fire
Story By John Murray
Fire makes steel.
For Jan and Bill Smolinski a fire of angst and pain engulfed their lives after their 31 year old son Billy vanished six years ago. The fire is so hot it could shatter friendships and destroy their marriage, Left alone, the fire would consume them.
Why Tibet Matters
Penpa Tsering sings Tibetan songs with great joy as he fights to keep his endangered culture alive. Penpa, pictured below, is one of 200,000 Tibetan refugees scattered around the world, and thoughts of his homeland are never far from his mind. Growing up in Tibet was difficult for Penpa - can a seven year old boy ever forget the horror of seeing the naked body of his murdered father?
Stanley Foster Honored for Compassion
When I first heard the term I thought it was a distant country in central Asia that the United States was planning to invade. But when you add a space between the a and the s, and capitalize the s, you end up with Papa Stan, an endearing name several young women at Crosby High School use to refer to Dr. Stanley Foster, a Waterbury plastic surgeon.

Maybach is back with a vengeance with the new 2015 Merecedes Maybach S600, as highlighted in MotorTrend's latest Ignition episode.
Mercedes-Benz is bringing Maybach back with a vengeance. In fact, it's included the name in a new sub-brand: Mercedes-Maybach. There's now another model in that portfolio: the Pullman S600.
When you have Rolls-Royce denying you're a competitor, you know you've done something right.
We've got a few more juicy rumors about Mercedes's plans to add a Maybach SUV into the mix.
Mercedes couldn't quite make the resurrected Maybach ultra-luxury brand work as a standalone vehicle line. Perhaps it will have better luck with the Mercedes-Maybach S600.
Speaking at this year's NAIAS in Detroit, Mercedes North American CEO, Steve Cannon, stated that the Maybach nameplate could be put onto an E-Class in the near future.
If you're unhappy with your awesomely expensive, ludicrously cushy, German panzer that is the latest S-Class, Mercedes has you covered with the new Maybach.
A Maybach SUV could be coming very soon, according to rumors spurred on by Mercedes Benz boss, Dr. Dieter Zetsche, while at the Detroit auto show.
The Mercedes-Maybach S600 isn't going to set the world on fire. It will just throw it in the sauna.
Those shiny letters on Mercedes-Benz trunk and hatch lids are about to look a lot different. Also, an update on the new Mercedes-Maybach S-Class.

Customer Reviews
Great but...
After this new update that was supposed to fix other bugs, a bug came up that the game doesn't load and crashes within 1-2 seconds of opening the app. I have a sec gen iPod so idk if that's a problem now. Also, I'd love an update where u get to make alliances with other countries and maybe have historical maps like 1770ish and Britain vs everyone or stuff like that. This game is one of my favorites and I recommend it to anyone who loves to take over the world. Better than risk
No longer works since updating to 6+. Can't get past setup.
Edit: Fixed. Thanks.
Please Fix
Used to play it all the time, but the update that was supposed to fix some bugs ended up adding one where you cannot click the next turn button. It's been like 2 months now so please fix it soon.

WWE dream matches
A video on YouTube where WWE lists dream matches that actually happened that fans might not have known about, including one between Randy Savage and Shawn Michaels.
February 25, 2015
Shawn Michaels theme song
During a recent interview, Shawn Michaels was asked which particular theme songs in WWE that he enjoys. Rather than choosing one or providing a list, he opted to discuss his own entrance theme. Michaels told the interview that it would be quite the stretch to say that he loved his own theme song because he does not. The song was more suitable to his character when he first turned heel on Marty Jannetty, but as he got older, it didn't fit.
February 20, 2015
Shawn Michaels accomplishments
When Shawn Michaels won the WWE Heavyweight Championship at Wrestlemania, Vince McMahon was quick to declare that a childhood dream had been achieved. Apparently, that was a lie. During a recent interview, Michaels revealed that he never dreamed of that when he was younger. The reason was because he did not imagine ever getting to that point. He felt that winning a title in one of the regional promotions was something more realistic.

exchange traded derivatives
Commodities were the only asset class that saw a rise in the number of exchange-traded derivatives contracts last year, according to statistics compiled by the World Federation of Exchanges (WFE).
The growth was driven by mainland Chinese exchanges, the
group found. Exchange-traded derivatives contracts in
commodities rose by 19% last year, WFE said, with exchanges in
China seeing a 34% increase and accounting for 41% of the
global volumes. The sector fared...

Go ahead, drink in the sight of these unusual baits and digest the unorthodox methods the pros employ to catch bass with them.
I've been on Douglas Lake in Tennessee for the last several days. What a change this is! In Zapata, Texas, it was around the 100-degree mark, the water was bath warm and the fish were in their postspawn mode. Here it's just the opposite.
Third-year Elite pro Keith Combs of Huntington, Texas, locked out 11 other finalists Monday in the Rigid Industries Falcon Slam, including his biggest threat after three rounds, four-time Bassmaster Classic champ and Zen master of bass fishing, Rick Clunn.
High winds on Falcon Lake Sunday morning, and a forecast that the winds will continue throughout the day, forced the postponement until Monday of the final day of the Rigid Industries Falcon Slam out of Zapata, Texas.
No one wanted a three-day tournament; postponement hurts Clunn most, but he has no quarrel with it, nor does anyone else.
Rick Clunn turned heads, first with his huge bag then as he walked on stage for the final 12.
"At the end of the day, if you have anything left to celebrate with, you didn't fish hard enough." - Rick Clunn
Huntington, Texas, pro could dream the possibility of coming close to - or busting - the all-time four-day weight record set on Falcon five years ago.
Nine times out of 10, the strategy of "fishing your history" turns and bites the angler who tries to rely on past success. Not so for Keith Combs.
The pros name their favorites to fare well on Falcon Lake.

100th time lucky for Laura as she steps onto career ladder
Last updated at 15:11, Friday, 08 June 2012
A teenager who applied for nearly 100 jobs before landing one says it is great to be in work.
Laura Bell's experiences highlight the problems youngsters are facing searching for work amid a double-dip recession.
But her refusal to give up has seen her land a job with a family-run construction company.
The 19-year-old, from Carlisle, is one of a number of apprentices taken on by Lattimer Homes, based at Mealsgate, near Wigton.
The firm is among a growing number backing high-level calls to invest in youth and take on apprentices.
Lattimer's is doing that on its building sites and in its offices.
Laura said: "I had made 97 job applications before I got this. I was starting to lose hope. It's brilliant now to be working."
Lattimer's is giving its apprentices hands-on training, as well as those for formal qualifications at college.
Shaun Clark, 16, is the youngest of the most recent batch of five taken on by the company.
The apprentice bricklayer, from Silloth, left Solway Community College in May last year and went straight into a job with Lattimer Homes.
He said: "I've been learning a lot, doing practical work and labouring for the first 12 months on site at Sheila Fell Close in Aspatria. It's good. It's gone very well.
"I'll be going to Carlisle College next September to do a bricklayers' course.
"A lot of my friends are struggling to get jobs and are having to go to college because they can't find work."
The other apprentices with Lattimer Homes are bricklayer Jack Bullock, 19, of Wigton; labourer Wayne Longman, 19, of Fletchertown; and labourer Bradley Thompson, 18, of Aspatria.
The latest intake means the company, established in 1970, is now employing nearly 40 people. Its major current developments include ones at Cumdivock, near Dalston, and at James Duffield Close in Workington.
Lattimer Homes is part of the multi award-winning Lattimer Group.
Director George Lattimer said: "We are conscious of constantly maintaining our hard-earned reputation for top-quality craftsmanship but we also recognise the need to develop new skills among the next generation.
"This is why we look to take on enthusiastic local youngsters with the right attitude whenever we can and train them on the job and through college.
"It also shows there are still jobs out there for young people and it keeps the whole thing fresh to have new blood coming into the business."
Lattimer's make their apprentices do 12 months on the job before they go to college to get Construction Industry Training Board qualifications.
"It shows you don't have to go to college before you get a job or an apprenticeship," Mr Lattimer added.
"Our latest batch are doing really well. We are really pleased with them."

New Showroom Pics
Here is a link to our before, during, and after album that our sales manager did for us. The pics are a bit washed out, but they work to let you know the process.
The whole construction project was complicated by the fact that we never closed the doors to the business all the while we were doing all of the construction. We had to play musical chairs with all of the flooring displays in order to create the open space that the kitchen showroom was to occupy, and then edit all of that down to just what was going to stay.
And since we did all new floors as well, we had to install all of that by shifting every single display around about 12 different times. The last 2 weeks, we all worked 14 hour days to make it come together in time. I'm afraid I slept most of this past weekend and still feel beat up!
Here's the result.
And here's what I it looked like from my head to the design software.
Here is a link that might be useful: Before, During, and After: A New Showoom
WOW! The old showroom wasn't bad at all, but this is fabulous. I love how complete the displays are, large enough to really see the products. Should be a huge boon for the business, and well worth the huge effort. I especially like that you have those curved mullion glass doors front and center in the Dynasty kitchen. Congratulations on such a great outcome!
Wow, you've got talent and have been busy! Very nicely done.
Love your Dynasty backsplash w pencil line above the one row of marble. Never would have thought of that.
What is the black colored stone/other? Is it black marble, soapstone, or a granite?
Good job Live_Wire_Oak. Your clients will benefit from your talents.
The dark counter on the Dynasty kitchen is actually Parys Cambria. And the white on the Blue Lagoon island and the Porch Swing desk area is Torquay. The backsplash is a mix of marble and glass. 3 different, but coordinated, looks on each wall. The fridge wall has 12x12's on a diagonal with the smoke liner and the 3x6 subways below. The sink wall has the 3x6 marble subways and the smoke glass liner, with 3x6 white glass for the field. The smoke liners surround the glass and marble circles tile in the darker grey mix. The desk wall has the same glass and marble mix in "sticks", but in the mostly white mix.
Cambria Parys
Emser Lucente feature tile. Emser was fabulous to deal with. Very supportive of us featuring their new lines in the vignettes.
And I don't think she took any pictures of my office space, which is my own little sanctuary. I designed it to my taste, which is "zen modern" more or less. I did have to meet certain corporate set criteria in the choices, but I think it works as a functional space, as a display for Aristokraft, and as a successful design.
Love the J&J Likeatree carpet tiles!
Another of my favorite things is the Yellow River granite. It has the warm browns and greys that pull together the Tidal Mist hutch area with the Black Forest Alder main cabinets. Plus, we did the full height granite backsplash. Pacific Shores Stones donated it, and Granite4Less did the fabricating. They bookmatched the seams so that the veins flow across the whole space.
It's a fairly plain regular depth Whirlpool in their new white ice finish. (I did extra deep cabinets on that side to "build in" a standard depth refrigerator.) I preferred to show the French door, but it came down to budget. Since the only thing the fridge holds is drinks for guests and bagged ice, the side by side it was. If it were for a working kitchen, the budget would just have had to adjust for the French door. I hate side by sides.
My thought process keeps fluctuating from " You get to do THAT for your JOB?!", to "Doing one kitchen just about killed me, doing all that would certainly put me in the loony bin or six feet under!" But I am an amateur, and you are clearly a professional. The details are amazing, and I'm still taking them all in. Congrats!
Oldbat, the tile in the Aristokraft coffee bar is Emser Cape Cod. It's a thick handmade crackle tile and comes in the blue that we chose as well as a green and a white or ivory.
Cape Cod in Ocean Blue Crackle
Thank you for the kind words everyone! Yes, it WAS very draining to start from scratch with nothing, But, it was also very exciting. I had always worked in existing showrooms designed by others, and I had never had the opportunity to create my own surroundings and grow a business into what I can make it. That's the main reason I took the job, even though it was a bit of a pay cut. I'm hoping to turn this into a success for me and everyone else here!
Here is a link that might be useful: Emser Cape Cod
I linked direct to your Aristokraft coffee bar, which is so sleek! Love that backsplash-you "stair-stepped" the tiles on the side wall? Amazing...
Do you mind telling me what sink you put in it? Doesn't look like stainless.
Thanks L_W_Oak. Nice job!
Here is a link that might be useful: link to coffee bar and backsplash:
The sink is a Blanco Silgranite D shaped bowl, designed for topmount. The anthracite color complements the display better than the white would have with the Formica Calcatta Marble counter. The whites would have been off. The hard part of the install was because the sink hole was so near the edge. The counter came in with a reinforcing bar underneath spanning the hole for support during transport. I had to set the counter with it still in place and then use a multi tool to cut out the support. I then installed a few extra build up supports on the sink base top before I dropped the sink in place.
The other difficult part of that display was the under counter lighting. It's by Hafele, and I had a learning curve with it. Being the cheapest display, I started with Aristokraft and put the tape LED directly on the bottom of the cabinet edge, where it's easily visible---on purpose. The power cord for the transformer needed a large hole drilled in the cabinet side so I could run it to the bottom of one of the wall cabinets (to be visible for education) and I had to use a right angle drill to do that because of the close quarters. Unfortunately, the bit I chose was just a bit too small for the power cord and the switch, and I had to drill a second hole next to the first to enlarge the opening. I switched to a 3/4" hole saw on the subsequent holes that I had to do for the power cord in other displays.
We chose to display different methods of treating the tile (both floor and backsplash) throughout the showroom. On the Aristokraft display, we chose a Schluter trim piece for the right hand side and the stair step for the left wall.
Very nice job. Glad to see that you used both blind corner and lazy susans in your displays. It at least shows potential clients what it looks like both ways and sometimes one works better then the other.
Just curious, are all prosource showrooms displaying cabinets now? Also, prosource doesn't sell to the general public?
Good luck with the new venture.
Very nice. I like the way it looks like real life and a display at the same tile. Good work!
Many years ago I did some retail display work for the department store where I worked. Think womens suiting bust forms in the '80's. It was fun to amp up wearable ideas - especially in the LA Law era.

The Samsung Galaxy S6 and S6 edge are two great smartphones, with more power and better screens. But when users get their hands on them starting April 10, they'll find that the vendor got some things right, and some things wrong.
Using a mixture of metal and glass, Samsung Electronics has found its smartphone mojo again with the launch of the Galaxy S6 and the S6 edge, but the new, more premium design has a few drawbacks.
The world's biggest maker of Android phones launched a major challenge to Google Wallet on Sunday, saying it will soon launch a rival phone-based payment system.

Acer didn't embrace Microsoft's Windows Phone 8.1 OS for smartphones, but it's really warming up to Windows 10.
LG Electronics has developed its own OS for the Watch Urbane LTE smartwatch, and while the software impresses the hardware it runs on will prevent the watch from becoming anything but a very niche product.
HTC's new flagship Android smartphone, the One M9, has been revealed by a U.S. retailer hours before its expected launch at Mobile World Congress in Barcelona.
Acer is getting a head-start on Windows 10, releasing a new smartphone that comes with Windows Phone 8.1 but which it promises will be upgradeable to the new OS when it arrives later this year.
Google has revealed eye-popping ideas for a redesign of its California headquarters that symbolize how far the company wants to move beyond its core search business.

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

PE Design 6
Can anyone tell me how to have the machine trim the jump stitches? Something about a thread trimming system? Thanks
I have a Brother ULT 2002 and a smaller PE150. I was ask by someone who had the Brother PR-600 to help them with a design. I created the design using PE Design 4 and it did really good, except for the jump stitches, which I couldn't seem to correct.
I was amazed when I took it to them and at every jump stitch, even though it was the same color, it stopped and clipped the thread.
This leads me to believe it is in the machine.
I have recently purchased an upgrade of version 4 to version 6, but haven't really had time to play much with it (major kitchen re-model). It does seem that it is going to be easier to make adjustments, especially when you want only part of an embroidery design to combine it with another one.

Suppose you are using a bit set or something similar, essentially some object that allows you to access the value of individual bits. It may be something simple like an integer word or an array of bytes, or something more generic like a BitSet in Java, depending on the number of bits you want to handle.
My question concerns transforming the length of the useful bits into a length expressed as a number of bytes. This is virtually always required because you typically can't allocate less than 8 bits (1 byte) of memory, and so you end up with extra padding bits in your "bit-set" object.
So, to sum things up, how do you correctly get the size in bytes necessary to accommodate a given size in bits?
NOTE: Take into consideration potential integer overflows that may result in an incorrect answer. For example,

When you think of Hollywood leading ladies you'll be hard pressed to find one with a more diverse career than Kathleen Turner. She's been on the silver screen for more than 30 years, starring in a roster of high-profile films, from "Prizzi's Honor" to "The Accidental Tourist," and "Peggy Sue Got Married", which garnered Turner an Academy Award nomination for Best Actress.
Turner has a real-life role as the National Chair of the Planned Parenthood Federation of America (PPFA) Board of Advocates that will bring her to Naples today. She's extremely passionate about the group, and she's addressing its annual luncheon to talk about that passion. (For information, see accompanying box.)
Back in California, Turner is on the Showtime series "Californication," a no-holds-barred "dramedy" about a down-and-out writer played by David Duchovny. Turner plays Sue Collini, a fiery talent agent who has no qualms about speaking her mind about sex, drugs and everything in between.
"I had a ball playing Sue Collini!" Turner says of her role.
And it shows in her performance. It's the type of role many would shy away from due to the raunchy subject matter, and Turner agrees.
"I had a woman come up to me the other day," she said, "and tell me, 'I love what you're doing on the show!' and I wanted to blush."
Sue Collini isn't Kathleen Turner, she emphasized with a chuckle: "Not my style, baby. I'm an old-fashioned woman."
Turner hasn't only played over-the-top types. She recalls the toughest role she ever had to play, that of Mrs. Lisbon for the 1999 drama, "The Virgin Suicides." In it, she is an overprotective mother to five daughters, one of whom attempts suicide in the beginning of the film.
Turner's own daughter was roughly the same age of her character's daughter at the time, which made it more difficult to do her scenes: "It was like a knife in my stomach every day."
While roles like Sue Collini and Mrs. Lisbon would seem to be high-profile roles any actor would want to sink their teeth into, that's not what drew Turner to them.
"What appeals to me is contrast," she says. Turner enjoys having the ability to explore different characters, to question why they say and do the things they do, from the rancorous wife in "War of the Roses," which won her a Golden Globe nomination, to the voice behind Jessica in "Who Framed Roger Rabbit?"
Turner can soon be seen on the stage in Philadelphia in a one-woman play about feisty newspaper columnist and best-selling author Molly Ivins, entitled "Red Hot Patriot: The Kick-Ass Wit of Molly Ivins."
Turner knew the late Texas-based political columnist personally
"I've never done anyone I actually knew before," she admits. "I found it extremely hard. But I've got more understanding of it now and will be all right."
Will she return to the new season of "Californication" later this year?
"I'm not sure yet, honestly. I like to see some of the scripts before I greet things," Turner says.
Turner is serious about all her roles, and that includes her role with Planned Parenthood. She's been the national chair for the organization since 1995, but considers herself to have been involved with them since she was 19 years old and first visited a Planned Parenthood office herself.
"There is no women's health care service in this country of the same standards accessible to women without insurance," she says of Planned Parenthood
Anti-abortion activist has targeted the group, but Turner says that only drives her harder to promote it and to explain what it does: "Planned Parenthood is about planning, not about becoming a parent or being a parent."
Educating people about sexual reproductive help, and the options they have should they become pregnant, is what Turner says she's trying to accomplish by working with the group.
Be it on the screen or in real life, Kathleen Turner loves what she does. The secret to maintaining a level head through it all, she says, is to simply have fun: "That's the point!"
Today is the 37th anniversary of the Roe v. Wade landmark decision on abortion. We will be hosting live video — courtesy of our news partner NBC-2 — of anti-abortion protest along U.S. 41 and Golf Drive from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m., Jan. 22.
Actress Kathleen Turner will be speaking Friday at the Naples Beach Hotel and Golf Club, 851 Gulf Shore Blvd. N., as part of a luncheon for Planned Parenthood of Collier County.
The 37th anniversary of Roe vs. Wade, the Supreme Court decision legalizing abortion, is today and Planned Parenthood of Collier County is holding its annual fundraiser mid-day at the Naples Golf Hotel and Beach Club with actress Kathleen Turner as the keynote speaker.
Members of the Naples Pro-Life Council and other abortion opponents are expected to take their abortion protest against Roe to the vicinity of the Beach Club, perhaps as early as 10:30 a.m. to be seen by Planned Parenthood supporters as they arrive for a silent auction before the fundraiser luncheon.
Protesters are expected to gather off U.S. 41 near the golf course and could come and go until 1 p.m.
Planned Parenthood, 1425 Creech Rd., began offering abortions for the first time in September. The clinic is closed today so supporters can attend the event.
