Most favorite moisturizer for rosacea
By Jo
from Missouri
About Me Beauty Conscious
Comments about Hydralight Lotion - 2 oz:
This is my favorite moisturizer! Perfect for my sensitive, combination, sun damaged skin, with rosacea. It's so soothing and makes my skin feel soft and smooth. Especially great for summer - never greasy. And I love the subtle smell. My husband used it and fell in love. Well done!
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Not good for rosacea
By First-time user
from Texas
I used this every night as directed, hoping it would be gentle enough for my very sensitive skin. Since it is supposed to be good for people with rosacea, I thought it would be safe to use. Unfortunately, in my case it caused redness every time I applied, and my skin continued to be very dry. I was disappointed.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Moisturizes sensitive, acne-prone skin
By Amy
from Canada
This moisturizes my dry patches, does not sting or cause redness, and does not make me break out.I will say that if my skin barrier has already been damaged by whatever irritant, this only causes more stinging. I find this to be true of any water-based product, though, so it is not surprising.To generally maintain my skin and prevent irritation in the first place, this is my go-to product.

Great moisture, however it beads up badly
By SSH
from Pennsylvania
I ordered this product after trying some samples, because I wanted to switch from my drug store moisturizer that I thought was causing cystic acne. The samples seemed great so I ordered the full size. The first night of using the full sized product and every night since then it had beaded up badly. It does still moisturize though, seeing as how I haven't had any feeling of dry skin since using it. After this bottle is up, I will not be repurchasing it though.
Customer Service Response: Hi there! If this product isn't working for you, there is no need to keep it. Please contact our Customer Care Team at firstname.lastname@example.com for assistance with a refund or exchange, as well as suggestions for alternative products/samples.

Easy peasy, light and squeezy.
By Derm Nurse 74
from Calgary Alberta
Great product, no question about it. The lotion is housed in a tube that is fairly compact and would be good for traveling as well as at home; the tube fits perfectly into the palm of my hand. I personally find that I need about a nickel size amount of this product to cover both my face and neck. Hydralight lotion blends easily, is not greasy, and provides adequate but not too much moisture for us combo skin peeps. I use a PC serum and C15 Booster day and night before applying this product. The two above mentioned products while not labelled moisturizers, still provide hydration to your skin, which is why, as an end step, you will not require as much of this moisturizer. Although the tube is small, I can tell you that when used correctly, this product is going to last for some time. This is a lotion, not a magic wand. If you don't take care of your skin (washing, toning, serum, treatment, SPF) using this product alone will not cure all that ails your skin. This lotion is one part of a skin care routine, just like exercise is one part of staying healthy. Aside from moisture you will find a wide range of antioxidants included in the ingredients which your skin will thank you for. I have not experienced any irritation with use nor any breakouts including clogged pores or small white heads etc. I live in a very dry climate so come winter time I will add the Hyaluronic Acid Booster serum to the mix which, given how emollient this product is, I can tell will blend really well. If you use Retinol (Rx or OTC) you may want to consider adding a small amount of this product to buffer the side effects. All in all I would recommend and feel that the price is on point for what you get.

Feels Light, but Really Moisturizing
By JDH
from St. Louis, MO
I really love this product. It's become my go to moisturizer. I've replaced my Lush moisturizer with this. I love the smell, it's light and smells faintly of cucumbers. Very soothing. The only complaint I have is the packaging. The product is runny/very thin, and slips right out of the container. This is a product that should be in a pump bottle.
Cucumber cooling tlc!
By Stefwithanf
from Phoenix, AZ
About Me Beauty Expert, Skincare Junkie
I never write reviews unless its worth it. In this case its worth it. I absolutley love using this product at night after all my treatments. (Acne kit) its light soothing and perfect on top of treatments that can be drying. I hear lots of negative things about the scent, but i absolutley love the soothing smell of cucumber! Its not that bad guys! Very refreshing product. Thank you paula and team!

It?s heaven, but for your face
By Jessica V.
from Undisclosed
I bought this with the Hydralight kit. While not impressed with the day moisturizer, I LOVE this night lotion. The texture is light, but not runny. It?s not sticky, heavy or greasy, it really just slides on and absorbs in a minute, and then feels awesome for the rest of the night. It?s so hard to find a good night moisturizer for sensitive, extreme combination skin in drugstores. So I?ll be happy to pay a little more for the rest of my life to keep this in my skincare arsenal. Well done!

This is supposed to help with redness for combination and sensitive skin, but I find it to really irritate my skin even though I have nonsensitive, combination skin. Much like another reviewer, this burned/stung my skin. On top of that, there is a cucumber smell to this which is bizarre given this company's stance on fragrance in skincare. I love Paula's Choice products, but I really regret purchasing this particular moisturizer.
Customer Service Response: Hello, and thank you for sharing your experience with us - we're sorry to hear this didn't work as expected for you! Please contact a member of our Customer Care team, who can assist you with a possible exchange or refund. As for the smell, that is the natural scent of the beneficial ingredients used (in this case, cucumber extract, which is an antioxidant). All Paula's Choice products are 100% fragrance-free.
Best lightweight moisturizer for daily use
By amanda z.
I have oily/combo, sensitive, and acne prone skin and have tried several of PC moisturizers. While I do love her others, like the resist hydrator, this one is by far my favorite. I wear it morning and night, it does have a light cucumber smell but it also 'cools' my skin, great for calming my red skin or after a treatment. I use it on my eyes too without problems. One of the best features of this moisturizer is how luxurious it feels without being greasy. Worth a try.
Burned my face!
By Alexandre P.
This product is supposedly for sensitive skin. For my oily/combination (and, apparently, overly sensitive) skin, it did not feel right. I had to splash my face will cold water to stop the burning effect. I applied it some time after BP 2%, so maybe the BP overdried my face, reacting badly with the lotion. A short time after application of the lotion (once the burn stopped), my skin was super greasy, possibly in reaction to the aversive effect of the lotion.

Excellent moisturizer for aging, acne-prone, and KP-prone...
By L.P.
Now that I am in my forties, I need a product that does more than offer hydration while preventing breakouts. This light and yet nourishing formula does just that. It provides excellent face and eye moisture while working beautifully to enhance my daily vitamin C, retinol, and BHA treatments. It makes my skin feel full and supple without triggering acne. I love the natural scent of the working ingredients (especially the cucumber). Thank you for offering this excellent product!
Love it!!
By Jackie J
This stuff is awesome! It moisturizers better than the PC moisturizers for dry skin. I am currently struggling with hormonal acne and this lotion hasn't broken me out after a couple weeks of use. I'm crossing my fingers that I've found my true moisturizer match. In have been looking for a good moisturizer for a long time.

Nice light moisturizer but don't love the scent
By Heather M.
I like this light moisturizer. It goes on and sinks in well for daytime or nighttime use. However, the scent really throws me off. I may have to explore other PC moisturizers. I hope they don't all smell like this!
Still my favorite
By Dorota
I forgot how much I love this product. My skin is starting to show some signs of aging and I decided I need more "advanced" products, so I stopped using Hydralight for a while. I started using it again a few days ago and immediately noticed a difference. My skin is smoother and just overall healthier looking. This lotion is perfect- light texture and lots of soothing ingredients. For reference, I have very sensitive combination acne-prone skin. I use this product along with the 2% BHA gel.

hg moisturizer
By allison l.
It reminds me of neutrogenas cucumber gel like moisturizer. Except this one moisturizes much better and still maintains a light texture that goes well under makeup and is soothing to skin breaks out and is using retinoids.
the best daytime skin-prep moisturizer for me
By AW
My skin looks red easily, is prone to breaking out, has fine lines and is easily dehydrated. What I want is something that doesn't ball up, doesn't cause acne or look mask-like. I want soft, non-shiny, plumped skin, a refined texture and I want my make-up to look better. Though I've tried many products, this provides the smoothest, most natural-looking canvas. I add one of the boosters if I need more moisture. The smell is too mild to be of consequence. I don't get the fuss about it.
By Meghan P.
This is a really good moisturizer for people with oily skin! I like this even more than the Skin Balancing moisturizer as it isn't as silicony feeling. It has a light texture that absorbs very easily into the skin. My only complaint is that I wish they made it in a bigger size! I apply this from the top of my forehead and onto my chest so I use it up in about three months. Maybe PC could make super-size versions of some of their moisturizers for us that use PC products like crazy? :)

Not for me
By katie s.
I tried a sample of this and loved how light it was, so I decided to buy a full size. After using it more I realized I don't actually like the watery-texture, and found that it tended to pill up on top of other products. I keep it for my neck and around my eyes, which I like it a lot for. It just didn't work out for me.

My skin reacted badly...
This lotion made my skin feel tight, not hydrated...maybe my skin is drier than I thought. The main problem I had though was that within a few seconds of applying this lotion, my entire face looked like it had a mild sunburn. It seemed to really irritate my skin. Thankful for PC excellent return policy!
Customer Service Response: Hello, and thanks for sharing your experience with us - we're sorry to hear this didn't work as expected, but glad that you used our return policy!
Does not work
This also made my skin flaky & break out-very odd for products that are supposed to be so researched! I appreciate Paula recommending other brands as I have better luck with them.
love how gentle it is
By Lisa
I have combo oily skin with dry patches around my nose & corners of the mouth. Acne prone & mild to moderate rosacea. Gentle formulation - not at all irritating and even provides a soothing effect. Subtle cucumber scent is relaxing during PM routine. Absorbs very quickly. Provides moisture, is not heavy, doesn't break me out. I definitely recommend this for people with rosacea or sensitive skin! Also moderately oily &/or combo skin, especially if you already use several potent products/boosters.
Nice, but oddly too much
By Elizabeth
This had nice feel, good moisturization, I even like the cucumber scent, but I broke out in so many whiteheads using this, I had to stop. My skin isn't even oily!
If I could sleep in a vat of this stuff, I would. For me, it reduces redness upon contact, lightly moisturizes without leaving any greasiness behind, absorbs in like 20 seconds, and doesn't cause or aggravate breakouts. It's perfect for summer on its own, but isn't moisturizing enough for winter (I just layer a serum underneath).My only criticism is that it sometimes leaves little white flakes on the skin (I think this is the silicone components?) but other than that, it's great.
Love it!
By KW
This has been my go-to moisturizer for a few years now, but only when my skin isn't too dry (I use the "moister Boost" when my skin is really dry). I always use it as a final step after an exfoliant and/or serum. It leaves my skin feeling soft, soothed and fresh. I have repurchased this product many times!

"For something so simple and easy, this quick dessert is delicious! They are addicting! Yum!"
"You can also make these with almond bark chocolate flavored coating. Melting directions are on the packaging."
"These were so simple and delicious. My sons friend said they tasted like Keebler!"
"My son turned me on to these cookies over the holidays. He had some at a friend's house and raved about them. He told me how they were made, but it seemed to simple - it just couldn't be that easy. Well, I was wrong! After looking on the internet, I found this recipe, which matched what he told me. After making them, I definitely know why he raved!! These are great!! I've made them several times since the holidays (and this is only March), and I'm making them again this weekend. YUM!"

Elmira, Aug. 31.
Dear Will:1
Damnation, (if you will allow the expression,) get up & take a turn around the block & let the sentiment blow off you. Sentiment is for girls—I mean the maudlin article, of course. Real sentiment is a very rare & godlike [thing. y You] do not know anybody that has it; neither do I.
You are petting & pitying & admiring yourself over your years of patient endeavor, & sole individual unassisted achievements, & g your good fight against [MS page 2] misfortune & disaster, & your readiness to continue the conflict with brave heart & willing hands. O, relegate all that to the days of callow adolescence, where it belongs. It is the commonest of the [commonplace] experiences of life. It is every man's history, consequently it hasn't a remar[ka]ble feature in it. There is no merit or virtue possible to it but one—& that is, to neither think about it nor talk about it. To think about it makes a man his own hero; to talk about it exposes that inglorious fact.
Have you a monopoly in of misfortune & possible [MS page 3] beggary? I think not. Every demi-year threatens me—& most of the people that I know. Then why think & talk about it, since that won't alter the case?
As to the past, there is but one good thing about it, & that is, that it is the past—we don't have to see it again. There is nothing in it worth pickling for present or future use. Each day that is added to the past is but an old boot added to a pile of rubbish. I have no tears for my pile, no respect, no reverence, no des pleasure in taking, a rag-picker's [hook. ] [&] exploring it. If you can [MS page 4] find valuables in your pile, lucky boy you—that is all.
And by jings I think you & Orion ought to have my future pile, Will. Both of you are always climbing a rainbow that has t a pot of coin buried at the other end. That is to say, your reckless imaginations are always eating feasts that are never to be cooked. Your Evansville lawsuit was nothing but a dream; your richest widow in St Louis was another.2 Come, now, don't imagine that I am objecting to these gorgeous futures of yours & Orion's. It is not the case. I simply don't [MS page 5] believe in them, & I question the solidity of men who deal in them.
It is the strangest, the most incomprehensible thing to me, that you are still 16, while I have aged to 41. What is the secret of your eternal youth?—not that I want ‸to‸ try it; far from it—I only ask out of curiosity. I can see by your manner of speech, that for more than twenty years you have stood still dead still in the midst of the dreaminess, the melancholy, the romance, the heroics, of sweet but sappy sixteen. Man, do you know that this is simply mental & moral masturbation? It belongs [MS page 6] eminently to the period usually devoted to physical masturbation, & should be left there & outgrown. Will, you must forgive me, but I have not ‸the‸ slightest sympathy with what the world calls Sentiment—not the slightest. Last week a lawyer talked it to me in a letter, from the Nevada mines; yesterday a quondam Hannibal girl talked it to me in a letter, from California;3 to-day, you talk it to me in a letter. I shan't answer the others, for I don't ‸care‸ whether they are ever cured or not; but I owe it to myself & to you to come frankly forward & cure you—if I can.
[MS page 7] That is the object of this letter. You need a dose of salts, & I am trying to give it you. It isn't a stab; "Sentiment" would call it a "stab"—a "disloyal stab in the back of a trusting friend"—& all that sort of romantic rot & high-sounding phrase that Sentiment delights to deal in. No, it isn't anything so grandiose as a stab; it is nothing but a humble 15-cent dose of salts; but if you will take [it] in good part & good faith, as it is intended, it will scour out your mental & moral bowels., & you will feel like a man; you will [MS page 8] feel robust & fine & healthy—& then if you are as grateful as you ought to be, you will thank me. You will say, "Thanks be to God I have passed my Sentimental worms, & have no longer the moral [belly-ache]."
You try it—on the faith of
Yr friend,
(who is a better friend to you
than you are to yourself,)
Samℓ. L. Clemens.
P. S. Do give my love to your mother, whom I still, as always, hold in the highest esteem & most loving remembrance.
We go hence, tomorrow, with a g vague general idea of trave visiting various friends for 5 or 6 weeks, & then home to Hartford.

Rex Robert Brown
(born July 27, 1964 in Graham, Texas) is an American heavy metal bassist. Currently a member of Down, he is most famous as the longtime bassist for the Grammy-nominated, platinum-selling band Pantera.
Along with former Pantera vocalist Phil Anselmo, he subsequently joined Down to replace bassist Todd Strange, and most recently played bass on the Down album Down III: Over the Under.
During the early days of Pantera, Rex Brown went by the stage name Rex Rocker. It wasn't until Far Beyond Driven that he changed his stage name to Rex Brown. According to the Pantera Cowboys from Hell inner notes, Rex is simply credited as "Rex" , thus dropping the last part of his stage name "Rocker".
Rex joined Pantera in 1982 with his friend guitarist Dimebag Darrell, drummer Vinnie Paul and vocalist Terry Glaze.
Pantera recruited vocalist Phil Anselmo to replace Glaze in 1987. By 1990 the band had been signed to Atco Records and released Cowboys from Hell which proved to be the band's turning point. Over the course of four more studio records, a live album and a greatest hits compilation, Anselmo and Pantera were nominated for four best metal performance Grammys, in 1995 for "I'm Broken", 1997 for "Suicide Note Pt. I", 1998 for "Cemetery Gates" and 2001 for "Revolution Is My Name." In 2001, Anselmo decided to put Pantera on hold because of back pain while he toured and recorded with his side projects. Pantera disbanded in 2003.
Rebel Meets Rebel
During down time Brown and the Abbott Brothers, teamed up with country artist David Allan Coe in a project called "Rebel Meets Rebel" in 1999. The album was released May 2, 2006 on Vinnie Pauls "Big Vin Records" label. Rebel Meets Rebel disbanded in 2003.
Brown joined Down in 1999 after the departure of Todd Strange from the band. On March 26, 2002, Down released their second album called A Bustle in Your Hedgerow with Brown on bass. After Down reunited in 2006 after a four year hiatus, work began on their third album, Over the Under. They are currently recording their fourth album to be released sometime in 2009.
Other work
Rex has worked previously with Jerry Cantrell on five tracks included on the album called Boggy Depot as well as eleven tracks with Crowbar on the album Lifesblood for the Downtrodden. Rex is also a producer and plays acoustic guitar. He has also provided bass work for Crowbar in 2004 and 2005 and to Cavalera Conspiracy in 2008.
Playing style and equipment
Rex was a jazz bassist and was offered a scholarship to the University of North Texas but declined.[1] He often plays with a pick. He is widely considered to be, along with Dimebag Darrell, one of the driving forces behind groove metal.
Rex was notable for often contributing walking basslines underneath Darrell's guitar solos. Standout tracks include "Floods" "Walk" "5 Minutes Alone", "Throes of Rejection", "Cowboys from Hell", "Living Through Me (Hells Wrath)", "I Can't Hide", "Use my Third Arm", "Where You Come From", "This Love", "I'm Broken" and many others.

At some point in every booklover's life they find themselves wondering how to clean bookshelves and care for books so they stay dust- and mildew-free.
Even if your bookshelves aren't bulging with reading material yet, they're probably still a focal point in your living room or den, so it's important to keep them tidy. Caring for your bookshelves will also preserve the life of your books.
How To Clean Bookshelves Weekly
- On a weekly basis, it's sufficient to dust the top and sides of the shelves with a microfiber cloth, then the tops and spines of the books and the part of the shelves that stick out beyond the books.
- Take this chance to also remove any items that don't belong on your bookshelf, and to restore misplaced books to their proper location.
How To Clean Bookshelves Thoroughly
- Remove everything from the shelves. Don't bother sorting at this point, just get the shelves bare.
- Clean the bookcase: With the bookcase empty, pull the bookcase out from the wall, and dust both the wall behind it and the back of the case. Now is a good time to vacuum the floor beneath and behind it, using an extension duster if you need to. Dust bookcase inside and out, cleaning any grimy spots.
- Sort through your books and give (not toss!) away any that no longer interest you. If you want to trade your discards for more books, consider using a free service like BookMooch (you'll just pay to ship the books you're giving away; the ones you're receiving come free of charge.) Or cultivate your book karma by randomly donating books using a site like BookCrossing, where you register your books and leave them in public locations for others to find. When someone stumbles on your book, they register it as found and hopefully pass the love along once they've read it.
- Clean books individually by dusting them, both outside and inside the dust covers where debris builds up. Dust along the tops of the pages, or use a hand-held vacuum.
- Organize your books in the method you plan on displaying them. Personally, I display fiction alphabetized by title in one bookcase, and non-fiction books, organized by subject and then author, in another bookcase. But I'm kind of weird about my books.
- Return your books to the shelves, but feel free to play around with how you arrange them. Leather-bound books look lovely all in a row, while colorful, contemporary books become decorative objects when stacked horizontally like book ends. Photography, coffee-table, and art books almost look like paintings when their covers are displayed face-forward.
How To Care For Books
- Sunlight ruins books. Leather will fade, cloth and paper will corrode. Never place your bookshelf where it gets direct sun.
- Dust them regularly. Dust acts as an abrasive, destroying both the covers and the printed word. Keep your books dust free through regular cleanings.
- Choose a proper location. Humidity breeds bugs and mildew, so never store books in a basement or attic or they'll develop that "old book smell", which quickly loses its charm when you're trying to read. Various insects will also nest in books stored where there's high humidity, particularly cockroaches and silverfish, which love to eat paper.
- Don't cram your books together. Storing books too tightly together eventually warps their covers and makes books difficult, if not impossible, to read.
- Be careful when taking a book from the shelf. Many people select a book by pulling it from the shelf by its head cap, or the top of the spine. This will eventually ruin the spine. The best way to remove a book is by gently pushing its neighbors to the side, then pulling the chosen book out from the middle. Since you're not cramming them together (see above), this should be easy enough to do.
- Most of all, read and love them. Books are like secret gardens for our minds, containing places and times to which we can travel without ever leaving the comfort of home. An unread book is a lonely book. Don't let your books feel lonely.
With regular weekly cleaning and an occasional thorough cleaning, bookshelves can be a true source of pride and beauty in your home. Care for your books properly and you'll have them to enjoy for years, if not lifetimes, to come.

A Conversation with an Addict: OR The Cause of All This Madness!Joan
09/27/2006, Sitka, Alaska
It was my mother's fault. Of course my dad seriously contributed to my downfall. He admits it quite gleefully when pressed, giving an abundance of fuel to the flames. Yes, they ruined me beyond repair. My husband suggested that perhaps some sort of twelve step program would cure me. I did quit, for a whole year, but fell off the proverbial wagon. I blame my husband too. He does admit to sabotaging my best efforts. Oh, so you say I am setting blame onto others for my downfall, but it is honest and truthful as you will soon discover.

After you have a purchase agreement on a home, it's a good idea to get a home inspection before you negotiate a final offer. Jerry Lootens, an ASHI-certified home inspector, says that a home inspector looks at the functionality and conditions of all the systems within the house to make sure you won't run into a major problem in the future. The types of things a home inspector looks at include
- Heating system
- Central air system
- Plumbing
- Electrical system
- Insulation
- Walls, windows and doors
- Basement
- Foundation
- Roof
If the inspector finds that something is wrong with the overall condition of the home, you can go back to the seller and negotiate a new price to include any money required to fix problems that were found during the home inspection.
The main difference between a home inspection and an appraisal inspection is that the appraiser is solely focused on the value of the home, not necessarily the conditions of the home itself. Both can affect the price of the home, so it's essential to get both inspections.
Watch the video below from our First-Time Home Buyer Q&A Google Hangout for more information on both home and appraisal inspections.
If so, subscribe now for tips on home, money, and life delivered straight to your inbox.

The Associated Press
Falcons defensive tackle Corey Peters is out for the season after suffering a non-contact Achilles injury Monday against San Francisco. Peters, who will be an unrestricted free agent in 2014, has five sacks on the season.
Bleacher Report
With a 4-11 record heading into the final game of the season, quarterback Matt Ryan has not lived up to the lofty $100 million-plus contract he signed this past July. Ryan has thrown a career-high 16 interceptions behind a shoddy offensive line and limited playmakers. Still, he was paid elite OB money to carry the team.
Speaking of the offensive line, the unit played well against San Francisco, giving up just one sack. Falcons coach Mike Smith singled out the play of tackles Lamar Holmes and Ryan Schraeder, as well as center Joe Hawley. However, left guard Justin Blalock has been the only consistent starter on the line all season.
Peter King commends the play of Panthers linebacker Thomas Davis, who had torn his ACL three times in three years. Off the field, Davis started the Thomas Davis Defending Dreams Foundation for underprivileged youth, doing activities such as buying backpacks and school supplies for children to building a playground in his hometown of Shellman, Ga.
Expect a deep playoff run for the Panthers. After clinching their first playoff berth since 2008 in a win at home against New Orleans, Carolina could lock up the No. 2 seed with a victory at Atlanta. Plus, the playmaking ability of quarterback Cam Newton, and a dominant defense, could vault the franchise to a second Super Bowl appearance.
Bleacher Report
However, a road win against the Falcons won't be so easy. Carolina is 0-5 in their last five games in Atlanta. And, the improved play of Matt Ryan and the Falcons, who are 2-2 in their last four games, might give Atlanta the edge at home.
Tampa Bay and coach Greg Schiano are treating Sunday's matchup at New Orleans as a "playoff game." A playoff atmosphere could give the Bucs something to strive toward next season too.
And, there are reports that Tampa Bay coach Greg Schiano may be interested in a head coaching position at Penn State, assuming current Nittany Lions coach Bill O'Brien leaves for the NFL. However, Schiano said there is "zero truth" to the rumors.
Tampa Bay Times
Despite a two-point loss against the Saints in Week 2, Tampa Bay faces a tough road matchup against New Orleans, who are undefeated at home. The Saints also average an NFL-high 15.1 more points at home than on the road.

"Few people on this planet know what it is to be truly despised," says Nick Naylor by way of introduction. A spokesman for Big Tobacco, he's the antihero of newcomer Jason Reitman's keenly observed, stylishly filmed satire Thank You for Smoking, based on Christopher Buckley's novel of the same name. Played by an irrepressible Aaron Eckhart (In the Company of Men), Naylor is a spin machine with the requisite "flexible morals" to spend his days defending cigarettes and crusading for smokers' rights. In his downtime, he relaxes with his pals from the alcohol and gun lobbies, including David Koechner and Maria Bello, both deliciously slimy—but Naylor and his cronies are not the movie's only targets. Thank You also takes aim at Capitol Hill (in the form of William H. Macy's opportunistic suit-and-Birkenstock-wearing senator), Hollywood (Rob Lowe as a superagent in a kimono and The OC's Adam Brody as his sycophant assistant), and the media (Katie Holmes as a beguiling reporter). But for a couple of improbable plot twists, and one cliché (Reitman chooses to demonstrate Naylor's human side through his relationship with his young son), Reitman has created a terrific, biting comedy that retains its smirk until the bitter end.

2013 was one of the best years to be a video game fan, even better for Playstation 3 owners.
Games like "The Last of Us" and "Bioshock Infinite" have raised the standard for storytelling within the medium and the next outing from developer from Quantic Dream attempts to do the same while falling behind the curve.
Quantic Dream was the original pioneer for the interactive drama genre in video games with 2005's "Indigo Prophecy." An interactive drama is essentially a player inputting context sensitive commands while "playing" through a movie and the story reacts and adapts per failure or success of the player's inputs.
The successful formula continued to 2010's "Heavy Rain," a crime thriller with 4 different protagonists searching for the same serial killer. "Beyond Two Souls" is the next outing for the developer and director David Cage. Cage presents a story of a young girl, Jodie portrayed by actress Ellen Page, and her spiritual companion, Aiden, two souls that are inseparable since Jodie's early childhood.
The story telling is disjointed as it jumps around from childhood to adulthood and back to Jodie's early teen years, but the problem doesn't end there as Jodie's emotions are as irrational as the game's story. That's not to say that Page gives a poor performance, since her portrayal of Jodie is the silver lining in this shady cloud of untapped potential.
The gameplay is quite restricted, most notably because director Cage had a definite story to tell.
Interaction is limited to only context sensitive inputs dependent on the scene. Failure to follow through the motions alters the story as well as choices made by the player. Though the choices that the player can make are as odd as the story since one moment you have complete freedom to set up a date for Jodie, including clothes, mood lighting, and even the choice of dinner, but when you're involved in a decisive scene there is no choice to be made if Jodie kills or spare her assailant.
The game does change point of view as sections of the story shift from Jodie to Aiden, Jodie's spiritual companion. Those sections' controls are just as limited since his gameplay sections are puzzle sections. The game holds the players hands as pieces are highlighted and options aim for relative ease rather than creativity.
The story does shine through with as few plotholes as possible and different endings make each playthrough feel like an individual experience. The performances by Page and Willem Dafoe inject more life into the characters than never before seen in most games. Limited controls do put you in the passenger seat, but it's a ride well worth taking in the erratic sights.

Wearing his firefighting helmet, Aiden Meisterics inspected a fire truck. The Wadsworth resident said he's going to be a firefighter when he's old enough. Aiden is 5.
Aiden was among the children and adults who attended the eighth annual National Night Out, a crime and safety awareness campaign sponsored by Target on Tuesday night in Wadsworth.
Three Wadsworth fire trucks, a city police patrol car and an ambulance were featured at National Night Out in the Target parking lot at 1183 Williams Blvd.
"We ask the community to come out and get a better understanding of what we do," Fire Chief Carl Rommel said.
The Fire Department showcased a tanker truck, a heavy rescue truck and a 100-foot aerial platform truck. Children were able to climb into the trucks and learn about how the equipment works.
Aiden's mother, Brooke Meisterics, took her son to National Night Out, where he blended in with firefighters. Besides his helmet, Aiden wore a firefighting costume.
"He wears it all day every day," Aiden's mom said. "I didn't even tell him where we were going and that's what he wanted to wear."
Also at National Night Out:
• The Fire Department displayed its new fire prevention education trailer with a smoke room to teach people how to react to a home fire.
• Children were able to experience being strapped into a gurney in the back of an ambulance.
• Using hydraulic rescue tools, firefighters showed how to extract a victim of a crash. A crowd gathered around as firefighters used large cutters to remove the doors, hood and roof of a vehicle.
• The Medina County SWAT team showcased a vehicle with gear and guns.
• Police allowed children to sit in the front or back of a patrol car. They also put on a demonstration with an electronic stun device.
National Night Out is "a great opportunity to see some of the equipment that the safety forces have to offer," Police Chief Randy Reinke said.
Guardians Advocating Child Safety and Protection also did fingerprinting just inside the Target store.
Sarah Namsick, assets protection leader at Target, said that even though the event's attendance was down from previous years due to rainy weather, it was still a success.
"Retailers want to support the community and helping people be safe is one of the best ways to do that," she said.

Robin Williams died Monday morning from an apparent suicide, he was 63 years old. Best known for his manic stand-up comedy routines during his early career, as the iconic T.V. character Mork from Ork in the series "Mork and Mindy". He reinvented himself as a comedian and serious actor in the late eighties and nineties. Williams was nominated for four Academy Awards and finally won an Oscar in 1998 for Best Supporting Actor in the film "Good Will Hunting" in the role of Sean Maguire.
Born on July 21, 1951 in the city of Chicago, Illinois; grew up in Bloomfield Hills, Michigan and in Marin County, California. In 1973 he attended the Julliard School along with freshmen Christopher Reeve (they both were accepted into the school's Advanced Program) and left in 1976 to pursue a career in stand-up improvisation. Robin Williams began his television show business career in 1977 and mentored under the guidance of Richard Pryor. He worked on the Pryor's NBC series "The Richard Pryor Show" as an actor/writer and after that show was cancelled he made an appearance as "Mork" in the sit-com "Happy Days".
The success of Mork led him to being casted in the "Happy Days" spin-off "Mork & Mindy" and made his starring theatrical debut in the film "Popeye" as the title character. The show was initially a huge success until it imploded after ego clashes and bad ratings. During this time his stand-up comedy became hugely popular and Williams recorded a couple of spoken word albums that sold quite well along with the Mork merchandise. During the end of "Mork & Mindy" he starred in several other films making the transition from television to the cinema with films such as "The World According to Garp", "The Survivors" and "Moscow on the Hudson" which earned him a 1985 Golden Globe nomination for Best Actor in a Comedy/Musical.
Robin Williams began to accept more serious dramatic roles and he earned his first of four Academy Award nominations for his role of Adrian Cronauer in the 1987 drama/comedy "Good Morning Vietnam". Two years later he would receive another Best Actor nomination for the role of John Keating in the 1989 film "Dead Poets Society". In 1991 he would receive another Academy Award nomination for Best Actor in the role of Parry in "The Fisher King". But he would have two wait seven more years to finally win an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor in the movie "Good Will Hunting".
Williams would periodically return to stand-up and he continued to act in a variety of projects such as "Mrs. Doubtfire", the voice of Genie in the Disney film "Aladdin", "Patch Adams", "Bicentennial Man", "Jumanji", "Toys", "Jack", "Nine Months", "The Birdcage", "Flubber", "Jakob the Liar" and "Robots". He would also play are darker roles in films such as "Insomnia", "One Hour Photo", and "Death to Smoochy". During the last twelve years of his life Robin Williams battled depression and alcoholism. In the late seventies and early eighties he had a serious drug addiction that he beat but relapsed around the turn of the century. His last project was his return to television in the series "The Crazy Ones" which lasted twenty-two episodes before being cancelled and he was working on five films before he died.
Robin Williams was a one-of-a-kind stand-up comedian and actor. His manic style of comedy has paved the way for many comics and he made the successful transition from television to the big screen. Williams also gave back to the community as he founded "Windfall Foundation" a charitable organization, dedicated his time and fundraising effort to "Comic Relief", St. Jude's Hospital and was a touring member of the U.S.O. He had an enormous heart who made us all laugh and he will be missed by all. He is survived by his three wives and three children.

And you should do what comes "natur'lly," and get yourself to the Spreckels Center for their rollicking good fun production of "Annie Get Your Gun," which proves definitely that, "There's No Business Like Show Business."
Of course no one can critique Irving Berlin and this classic is perhaps his best, but this production is outstanding: well crafted, well acted and superbly sung, from the performers who portrayed "Annie's" young sibling, to the leads.
Towering Zachary Hasbany, Frank Butler (I'm amazed the Worriers or Lakers haven't snagged him) and diminutive Denise EliaYen, Annie Oakley made a striking couple, and not just by appearances – their voices are rich and clear and perfect for their roles, taking their parts seriously but with the whimsy needed to make their characters really work. I think Irving would have been pleased.
"My Defenses, were indeed, Down," from the moment the curtain went up. If you need to be reminded that, "There's No Business Like Show Business," then you should do yourself a great big favor and be sure to take in this rollicking good production.
Hats off to Gene Abravaya, artistic director of the Spreckels Theater Company and all the cast and crew who have so aptly made this experience available to you. There are five more performances, February 20th through the 23rd, with matinee and evening performances on Saturday the 22. For tickets and information visit The Spreckels Center.
Supporting local theater is a worthy and rewarding activity. Yes, we here in the North Bay, live close to one of the theater and music centers of the world; with the San Francisco Opera, Symphony and Ballet, the San Francisco Jazz Center and the ACE being just a bridge toll away; but this folks is right here, right in our own back yard. Easy access, easy parking, easy on your pocket book and extremely easy on your eyes and ears. AND it's great good fun. Thought you had nothing to do this coming week? Well, how you do.
