Good pitching and bad pitching were on display yesterday as the Phils squared off with the Pirates. The Phillies came out on the right side, though, winning 5-0 as John Lannan, Mike Adams, Adam Morgan and Raul Valdes held the Pirates to one hit and four walks over nine shutout innings. The Pirates, on the other hand, walked three different Phillies (Quintero, Revere and Utley) with the bases loaded in the second inning.
The Phillies had nine hits in the game, all singles.
Michael Young was 2-for-4 with two RBI, Betancourt 2-for-3 with a walk and Revere 2-for-3 with a walk and a stolen base.
Betancourt is hitting .412. Revere has a 346/393/385 line with three stolen bases. Young is 5-for-his-last-13 with a double and a homer after starting the spring 1-for-9.
Might seem like Revere isn't hitting for a lot of power, but that's just the way it's going to be. His isolated power of .039 so far this spring is pretty similar to his career mark of .045.
Brown 1-for-3, Mayberry 1-for-4. Ruf 0-for-2 with a walk, dropping his spring average to .130. He has one extra-base hit, a double.
Mayberry started 1-for-10 and is 6-for-his-last-16 (.375) with a double and a home run.
Lannan started the game for the Phillies and was fantastic, going three shutout innings in which he allowed just one hit, a first-inning double to Travis Snider, and walking two.
Lannan drops his spring ERA to 1.80, but he has a 1.60 ratio to go with it. He's walked three in five innings and opponents are hitting .278 against him.
Adam Morgan also three shutout innings in the game for the Phils. He walked two and struck out two without allowing a hit.
Morgan has a 1.93 ERA and has struck out six in 4 2/3 innings, but again with a high ratio of 1.50. Three of the fours runs he's been charged with are unearned.
Mike Adams threw a 1-2-3 fourth. He's now thrown two scoreless innings in which he's allowed one hit without walking a batter.
Valdes was great in the game, too. After being awful in his first two appearances, Valdes faced six batters and retired all six, dropping his ERA to 6.00. He's struck out seven in six innings, but allowed three home runs. Yesterday was the only one of Valdes's three outings in which he did not give up a home run.
The Phillies will play the Dominican Republic team this afternoon.
Jonathan Papelbon was scheduled to pitch today, but has a cold and will not do so.
BJ Rosenberg has some tenderness in his elbow, which kept him from pitching on Sunday.
Delmon Young will have his ankle looked at by a doctor in California today.
This article takes a guess at the opening day roster for the Phillies, giving two of the three unknown bullpen slots to Horst and Valdes and leaving the other one open. It also has Ruf off the roster and Inciarte on.
I think if the Phillies are truly thinking about giving Inciarte a spot on the roster we'll see him getting a whole lot more at-bats soon. So far he has seven. It definitely seems possible.

Maine Coast Sea Vegetables - Sea Seasonings Organic Dulse Granules - 1.5 oz. (43g)Maine Coast Sea Vegetables Sea Seasonings Organic Dulse Granules are low sodium Dulse Granules are presented in a sprinkle-on Sea Seasonings 1.5 oz shaker. A convenient way to get your sea veggies in the kitchen, at the table, or on the road. Sprinkle on soups, salads, tofu, pasta, stir-fries, dressings, dips, sauces, breads, tabouli, and get the nutritional benefits of sea veggies and skip the table salt. An especially rich source of iron, potassium, iodine, Vitamin B-6, Riboflavin, and dietary fiber, Dulse provides a complete array of minerals, trace elements, enzymes, and phytochemicals, as well as some high quality vegetable protein.
Dulse Granules provide the same outstanding nutrition and good taste as their whole leaf dulse, and at less cost per ounce. They are made from selected Dulse which grows in well-protected coastal passages, is easier to harvest and gives higher yields. The dulse is sustainably harvested, low temperature dried, Certified Organic by OCIA and a Raw Food. They also voluntarily test for heavy metals, herbicides, pesticides, PCB's, fuel oil and microbiological contaminants.
Wild Harvested Seaweeds from Downeast MaineMaine Coast Sea Vegetables is located at the very head of Frenchman's Bay. Their certified organic sea veggies are hand harvested from the rocky, sparsely populated "Downeast" coastal area between Bar Harbor and Eastport. The Harvest begins in early April, with snow pack often still on the ground and the shallow coastal inlets still frozen. The low tides of October bring us their last dulse - if they're lucky! All plants are wild and most are certified organic.
Organic Certification means higher quality You may wonder why they went to the trouble and expense to become certified organic by Organic Crop Improvement Association (OCIA), particularly as they already test their dried seaweeds for the absence of heavy metals, herbicides, pesticides, and microbiological contaminants. It's true that compared to land plants, they have little control over the growing conditions of their wild marine plants. But they do have choices about how, when, where, and how much they harvest, as well as how the seaweed are transported, dried, stored and packaged.
The Organic Standards developed by OCIA address all these areas where unacceptable practices may lead to resource depletion, product contamination, or inferior quality. These standards give clear and uniform direction to all of us (more than 40 now) responsible for harvesting and handling these precious plants. They feel this results in a higher quality as well as a cleaner product for you. Definitely worth the trouble!
Harvesting for a superior productBringing sea veggies from the sea to your plate requires many hands. Perhaps none are more important than the harvesters who select the wild plants from the beds where they grow in remote Downeast bays between Bar Harbor and Eastport. The kelp harvesters are the first to get their boats in the water and don their wetsuits or hipboots in early April. When it isn't clear enough to sun dry these prime plants, indoor drying with wood heat or forced hot air are used.
Since 1993 all this harvesting, hauling and storing had been accomplished following the world's first organic certification standards for sea vegetables. This means that each harvester must monitor their beds for sustainability. They must keep their freshly picked plants clear of possible contaminants throughout the harvest transport, drying and packing process. They are randomly inspected to insure compliance. They also test plants for contaminants that are water born, such as heavy metals, PCBs, herbicides, pesticides, E. coli, yeasts and molds.
Maine Coast Sea Vegetables began in 1971Their company was born in 1971 over a pot of seaweed miso soup in the kitchen of Linnette and Shep Erhart overlooking Hog Bay in Franklin. They had just harvested and cooked their first alaria fronds and found the soup delicious! News of the discovery spread to friends; they told their friends...
From two people producing 200 pounds in 1971, there are now about 40 of us handling around 100,000 pounds of sea vegetables annually. Another 15 year-round crew sort, pack, and market their sea veggies at their plant in Franklin, Maine.
They offer seven organically certified varieties: alaria, dulse, kelp, laver, sea lettuce, rockweed and bladderwrack. They are hand harvested directly from their beds at low tides, dried at low temperatures by sun, wood or forced hot air, and then packaged.
Milestones in their business
Mission StatementTheir mission is twofold: to provide high quality North American sea vegetables as user-friendly foods, supported by reliable information; and to build respectful, long-term relationships with their customers, suppliers, employees and the environment.
Principles & PracticesTo the best of their individual and collective abilities, they pursue their mission with honesty, accountability, patience and care. They understand that these gifts from the sea come with the responsibility to maintain sustainable practices in harvesting, processing and merchandising - leaving more than they harvest, producing more than they consume, and giving back more than they take.
IntentionsWith their enthusiasm, they encourage the rediscovery of this ancient food source from the sea. With their personal and traditional knowledge, they share what they have learned from their native sea vegetables and from people worldwide who have used them for centuries. With their curiosity, they learn from their customers what they already know or need to know. And with their ingenuity and respect, they intend to thrive into the 21st century.

The collapsed Cedar Falls-based brokerage Peregrine Financial Group has approved a $20,000 raise for a company lawyer.
A judge overseeing the bankruptcy case of PFG approved the increase Wednesday.
General counsel Rebecca Wing's salary was raised to $400,000.
A trustee argued the increase was needed because Wing's knowledge would help liquidate the company's assets.

Loved it..
By Jules
from Kalamazoo, MI
I didn't know if this was going to work or not, but thought i'd give it a try. I really liked how it cooked my fries without the oil, and they really did come out crispy and done!! I am going to buy more for christmas gifts..
Use it all the time; need a second one
By Donna S.
from Shelbyville, KY
I bought one of these in a store several years ago & searched for another without luck. I love it & want a second for myself & one for a gift. Works great for frozen foods, especially potatoes, breaded chicken tenders or fish. The food doesn't have to be turned to cook evenly yet comes out crispy. Some oil from the food may seep to the bottom of the oven but if you use an oven liner or have a self-clean oven that shouldn't be a problem.

Two quick points:
1.) Yeah it's funny, kind of, in a creepy sort of way. For those who may not already know, Dale Peterson is not an actor; he put together similar ads in his bid for the GOP nomination as Alabama's agriculture commissioner. Alabama Republicans were perhaps amused, but not impressed; he finished a distant third.
2.) This particular ad was put together by the Republican Governors' Association, which apparently believes it's the kind of thing that will be effective in swaying Georgia voters.
Who knows, maybe they're right. Nick Ayers, the RGA's executive director, is a Georgian. He ran Sonny Perdue's 2006 re-election campaign. Paul Bennecke, the RGA's deputy executive director, used to be executive director of the Georgia Republican Party. So you can't say they don't know Georgia, and I'm sure the last thing they want to see come November is their home state governed by a Democrat.
On the other hand, I also remember how insulted Zell Miller used to get over stereotyped depictions of Southerners as unsophisticated rubes. With this ad, the RGA is telling us what it thinks of Georgia voters, and it's not all that flattering.

Bobby- WTF? How can you be a liberal, love the kunfederate rag,AND blame Roy Barnes for disgracing your ancestors? WTF? At some point in time you guys are going to catch on to the fact that THE SOUTH LOST! That classifies them as a vanquished kingdom, which means no to keeping your flag and your "way of life". Why don't we just fly the "union" rag? But that would mean not honoring THE AMERICAN FLAG! It's Sept. 2010, get with the times people!
Also,a New South means not responding to an issue with a minority comparison. It's Sept. 2010,
get with times people! Responding to this with a jab at a minority is like responding to a mosquito
bite with Napalm! It's OK if you are conservative AND you don't lash out at others that don't look like you! NEW SOUTH!

Leg Lamp, it's like the "wild car" in MLB. Braves aren't good enough to win the NL East, but they are worthy of the playoffs. OR, another sports analogy; kinda like when UGA fired the AD. go to a successful program and poach their runner up. Barnes is literally a loser, and even without the financial issues, Deal is corrupt as the day is long. I like Monds, but you know he home schools his kids, and I'm thinking maybe he doesn't want to actually become governor because then he'd have to send his kids to an APS school!
September 24th, 2010
4:04 pm
The Leg Lamp is a "major award", much like Cynthia Tucker's Pulitzer and Obama's Nobel
Sharks are disgusting, blindly attacking any living creature in the water. Much like any conservative that tells Limbaugh or Hannity or Beck to take flying fu@$, they would be cannibalized in an instant.

Harry Callahan @ 2:52 pm "no Clinton financial scandals? Liberals are so funny…if they just close their eyes and put their hands over their ears, they can convince themselves none of this stuff ever happened."
OK, I'll play. Other than Whitewater which cost the taxpayers $50 MM, and after 6 years was closed for "lack of sufficient evidence", what "Clinton financial scandal" didja have in mind from 1992-2000? Is there something other than what Wikipedia lists under this heading? Ooh, a Michelle Malkin conspiracy that's been kept out of the "lamestream press" perhaps.

I would venture a guess that Atlanta Public Schools are better than the cave you were raised in.

@big jim: I don't have a problem being an oxymoron even though I catch flack from both my liberal friends for being such an unapologetic Southerner (I prefer "Dixie" to the "Battle Hymn of the Republic") waving my Confederate flag, and my conservative friends for my support of gay marriage, abortion, universal health care and many Obama policies. I actually prefer the current State flag to the '56 flag as it is more historically accurate. But for Barnes to change the '56 flag behind our backs and for political correctness still angers me. And I simply will not vote for him even though many of his positions are more in line with me politically than Deal.

big jim, not liberal, and quasi-conservative – probably more paleo conservative or anarcho-libertarian, as my paleo-conservative friends suggest. raised by two very… ahem, progressive, liberal parents. dad was a career educator (35 years as a public school teacher and administrator – retired, but not a big fan of Chris Christie). I live in Atlanta and refuse to send my child to APS school. would think Monds has the same view of APS.

Beautiful Words from James Howard Kunstler:
"Behind the incoherent cargo of conflicting complaints that makes up Tea Party doctrine — like "keeping the government's hands off our medicare!" — stands the more basic dissolution of the Sunbelt's miracle economy, along with the pain and bewilderment of the southern peckerwood political nexus that rose out of the dust after World War Two to build the suburban nirvana of universal air-conditioning, happy motoring, Jesus tub-thumping, over-eating, and Friday night football that defined Sunbelt culture. They sense now that history is about to thrust them back into the okra patch, with the hookworms and the chiggers, as the economy whirls down the drain, and the car dealerships close up, and the idle production homebuilders succumb to methedrine addiction, and the price of Reba McEntire tickets exceeds their dwindling resources, and they are none too happy about any of that.
Of course this Sunbelt political culture has tentacles and outposts all over the USA, wherever a few generations of laboring folk enjoyed debt-fueled parabolic rises in living standards during the cheap oil decades, and now find themselves in foreclosure hell, indentured to the very WalMarts that they welcomed with open arms (and allowed to destroy their local businesses) — and, of course, it's yet another paradox that these are the same folk who will still defend the big box masters to their deaths. The America they stand for is a weird contradictory mish-mash of Confederate nostalgia, hyper-individualism that really owes allegiance to nothing, racial enmity, religious paranoia, and potemkin patriotism — especially involving anything in the constitution that allows them to wriggle out of obligations to the public interest at the same time that they get to push other groups of people around."

One other thing big jim. I actually like reading Cynthia Tucker's opinion pieces. I probably agree with her 2/3 to 75% of the time. 15 to 20% of the times I disagree with her she at least makes me think a little as to why I disagree and then the rest of the time she and I just have to disagree.

Barnes changing the flag "behind our backs"? I didn't realize that "we" were given a choice in the matter in 1956! "We" were animals in 1956! I appreciate your views, you are more liberal than you may think. By "we", I mean minorities(including women).
Secondly, I prefer political correctness to the alternative. Saying whatever you feel like about or to
another person is not a good thing. Trust me on this,please.
The kunfederate rag shouldn't be honored.The south lost. My homestate of SC seems to be stuck on keeping this joke out front of the capital. Unlike GA, SC has a fraction of the rich minorities, which means no teeth from the NAACP or any other minority group. That's why Roy Barnes put the RIGHT flag on the capital. Also,I thought Sonny Perdue was elected because he was supposed to
restore that great flag to it's rightful place! Then, I remember signs around Atlanta that read "Sonny lied!" He found that there was more important issues to deal with.
I think the masses need to take note of this. We have bigger fish to fry. New South.

Credit Unions Bailed Out
By MARK MAREMONT And VICTORIA MCGRANE
Two years after the peak of the financial crisis, the federal government swooped in to stabilize a crucial part of the credit-union sector battered by losses on subprime mortgages.
Regulators announced Friday a rescue and revamping of the nation's wholesale credit union system, underpinned by a federal guarantee valued at $30 billion or more.
Good thing the recession ended a year ago and we've experience "Recovery Summer", otherwise, things might be even worse!

Though some come close, no flat-panel HDTV -- ever -- produces deeper blacks than the Panasonic Viera TC-PZT60. Color performance is equally breathtaking, and the TV does a good job of holding on to its class-leading picture quality in even moderately bright rooms. Other sets have more features, but the essentials are here and work well. It's the most expensive plasma TV available this year, but experts say it's worth it for those who won't settle for anything but the very best. Models in the series are the 60-inch Panasonic Viera TC-P60ZT60 (Est. $3,000) and the 65-inch Panasonic Viera TC-P65ZT60 (Est. $3,800).
Kuro killer? Yes, experts say; the black levels produced by the Panasonic TC-PZT60 are at least as good as those seen on Pioneer's legendary plasma TV of days gone by, and some say they are better. The color performance of this THX-certified set is equally exemplary. Like those of most plasma TVs, viewing angles and screen uniformity are first rate, especially when compared to even high-end LED TVs. Screen uniformity and off-angle viewing are outstanding, though that can be said of most plasma TVs. The TC-PZT60 is also an excellent performer in well-lit rooms, though the competing Samsung PNF8500 is better still in such settings thanks to its incredible brightness for a plasma set.
Everything you need. Compared to Samsung's Flagship PNF8500, the Panasonic TC-PZT60 seems to be nearly devoid of features, but it's not. The Internet streaming platform, called Viera Connect, is robust and easy to use. One nice touch is that users can create custom home screens that focus on the content that they are more interested in. Multiple users can be accommodated by the set. One negative is that the interface is designed to push banner advertising by default, though you can disable that. Active shutter 3D is also on board, and two pairs of glasses are included. A built-in camera for Skype and facial recognition (so users can be automatically be signed into their accounts and access their custom home page) is included in the step-down TC-PVT60, but is an extra-cost item with this plasma TV.
Just another pretty face. Panasonic didn't spend much of its development money on breaking new ground as far as the look of this flagship model. Experts say that it looks the same as the Panasonic TC-PVT60 series, and that's not necessarily a bad thing. The cabinet is edged with silver trim, and the V-shaped support arm is a little different looking (though CNET's David Katzmaier calls it "garish"). Two remotes are included: a standard clicker and a minimalist touchpad affair with voice-recognition technology and Bluetooth, so line of sight is not an absolute must. Connectivity is adequate but not exceptional, with just three HDMI inputs. Panasonic is one of the few TV makers to mount an SD card slot on their sets (there are also three USB ports).
A premium plasma TV at a premium price. Jerry Del Colliano at HomeTheaterReview.com calls the Panasonic TC-PZT60 a set for "extremists": those who demand only the very best and are willing to pay for it. Some critics say that the TC-PZT60 is the best TV in all settings. Others say that the step-down Panasonic TC-PVT60 is every bit as good except in rooms with bright lighting, but costs a little less; available sets include the 55-inch Panasonic Viera TC-P55VT60 (Est. $2,000), 60-inch Panasonic Viera TC-P60VT60 (Est. $2,300) and 65-inch Panasonic Viera TC-P65VT60 (Est. $2,300). Other plasma TVs, such as the Panasonic TC-PST60, can deliver pictures that are only a little bit behind but sell for substantially less. Still, if only the very best picture quality will do, the Panasonic TC-PZT60 needs to be at the top of your shopping list.

"Panasonic's TC-PZT60 is now the best-performing TV we've ever tested," says CNET's David Katzmaier. He does note that some competing sets at least come close, but cost less, making the TC-PZT60 only a value to those who must have the very best.

EDGAR, WI (WSAU) - Edgar students will find out Friday why texting and driving is a bad idea. A special driving simulator will be set up to show young drivers exactly how dangerous it is.
Jessica Erickson from AT & T Wisconsin says there are two parts of the program designed to drive home the message that texting and driving don't mix. "We are showing them a documentary called The Last Text that shares stories of real lives ended because of texting while driving, and it's focusing on young people. The second thing is we have a distracted driving simulator from AAA where students will actually get the chance to experience in a safe setting how texting impairs their driving through virtual reality."
Erickson says young people are especially at risk because they are prolific texters and inexperienced drivers, and they don't realize how deadly taking your eyes off the road can be. "The reason texting is so dangerous is because it takes a driver's eyes off the road for an average of five seconds, and when you're traveling at 55 miles per hour, that's like driving the length of a football field completely blind."
AT & T now offers a new smartphone application called "Drive Mode" that automatically tells the people sending you texts that you are driving and will get back to them later. Erickson says they will be telling Edgar students about it Friday. The app works by sensing when your phone is traveling over 25 miles-per-hour.
The Edgar stop will also include two state legislators instrumental in making it illegal to text and drive in Wisconsin. Representative Scott Suder and Senator Jerry Petrowski will speak to students. Petrowski chaired the Assembly Transportation Committee, and co-authored the legislation.
Edgar is one in a series of high school stops put together by Triple-A, the WIsconsin State Patrol, and AT & T.
Similar events have already been to Racine, La Crosse, and Burlington. This demonstration is also coming to Rhinelander, Brookfield, Eau Claire, and Madison later this fall.

The first major style innovation since 1950 was the introduction of the "Speedster" in 1954 primarily aimed at the Californian market, where in its 1500S form it became a popular race car. 1955 saw a major change in engine specifications with the 1500 being replaced by the 1600, providing Porsche with their first genuine 100 mph production car and detail changes to the bodywork introduced as the 356A.
The two-seater Speedster with its very low screen and side windows was aesthetically an immediate success and soon became a "cult car" amongst the Porsche devotees, as well as a favorite with film stars such as James Dean. As with all Porsche designs, their intrinsic beauty is their functional simplicity coupled to superb engineering, and the Speedster is just such an example. It is devoid of unnecessary embellishment and has a rather stark interior with three circular dashboard instruments containing tachometer, speedometer, and a combined fuel and oil temperature gauge and two bucket-style seats.
The gleaming red Speedster pictured here is a very special example, in that it has the rare and desirable Rudge knock-on wheels and a "Glasspar" detachable hard top. The car was exported new to America in mid-1955, its first owner being the then Governor of Massachusetts who only used it occasionally; it was then laid-up in dry storage from 1959 to 1987. The current owner has since had the car completely restored, both mechanically and cosmetically, and a new 90 bhp Super 90 Series engine installed, providing the ultimate performance specification for a Speedster with a maximum speed approaching 120 mph.
The Speedster is generally regarded as being the most desired of all 356 Series Porsches and to find one with the rare factory options makes this particular car an attractive investment providing exhilarating competition race bred performance, and the ultimate in charismatic appeal.

Kitchen Keeping: What Else Is On Your Countertop?
Yesterday we asked you if you leave appliances out on the countertop; now we're curious about what else you leave out. The counters in our kitchens can become home to everything from potted herbs to an ever-changing herd of dirty dishes. Sometimes it's hard to find space to cut an onion for dinner! Tell us what's on your counter and get a few tips for keeping them free of clutter after the jump.
The first step in de-cluttering is determining what gets permanent residency on your counter top and what needs to find a home elsewhere. This seems like an obvious piece of advice, but we're very familiar with the way appliances seem to collect and multiply around kitchen outlets over the course of several weeks! Our personal determining factors are
1. How often is it used? - We feel that if something gets used once a day, it gets to stay out on the counter. For us, that means the toaster, the bread board and our current loaf of bread, salt and pepper shakers, and a standing container with our most common cooking utensils (mostly wooden spoons).
2. How hard is the appliance to move? - We keep our heavy KitchenAid stand mixer on the counter all the time even though we only use it a few times a month. It's just too hard to move, plus our cupboards aren't really big enough. When we're not using it, we actually use the mixing bowl to store our oven mitts!
We also try to create zones on our counter top: this space is for dirty dishes, this space is for appliances, this space is just for prep (and woe to the person who leaves their library books there), and so on. Once our whole family is in the habit of using and seeing these different zones, we find that it makes the job of keeping things tidy a lot less intimidating.
What's on your counter right now? Any tips for keeping counters clutter-free?

Our kitchen is oddly arranged and has very little counterspace, so I have it segmented. Some counters, like the little one next to the stove, are just for storage. Others are for prep and storage. On our counters, we have small appliances (microwave, toaster, coffee maker, KA mixer), the dish drainer, fruit bowl, knife block. We also have some food that doesn't have a home on our shelves (no top cabinets, I did say it was an odd kitchen, right?): bread, coffee, and crackers.
I don't have too much counter space either, so I only have little things in the corners.
First, I have an area for canisters like flour, sugar, pasta, etc. On another side I have a knife block and a decorative bottle with flowers in it. In yet another corner I have my colander (which is a pretty green) that I also use to hold fruit. The last corner is used for coffee pot, a pretty olive oil bottle, and a mortar/pestle. Everything else is tucked away in cabinets!
Right now? Dirty dishes, a knife block, clean dishes, a container of baking soda for scrubbing, dish soap and the crock full of spatulas and such. I have very little counterspace so I don't keep much out. The dishes are my biggest problem.
Thank you for the inspiration to get mine cleaned off! Currently on the counter that shouldn't be- pumpkin muffins in a huge tupperware, loads of fruit (clementines, apples), avocados, squashes, onions, etc. Today's goal is going thru my pantry cabinet to create space for all the fruit & veggies.
What always lives on the counter- KA mixer, toaster, Boos block, S&P, French press.
Now, off to clean up!
I used to keep my counters much more cluttered, but I got very tired of searching for counter space. I'd rather spend 2 minutes per day taking the toaster in and out of the cabinet and have enough space to spread out when I'm cooking. (I have a small galley kitchen so counter space is very limited.)
My counters contain a crock full of spoons and spatulas, a small bottle of olive oil with a spout, a spice rack that fits flat against the wall, and a bottle of dish liquid.
I do have some open shelves in my dining area where I keep some of my larger appliances, like my Kitchen Aid mixer. Although I have to move it onto the counter when I need it, at least I don't have to pull it out of a lower cabinet.
Man, do I ever understand that quandry about just finding the space to cut an onion. I unfortunately have very little counterspace in my kitchen. I can't do without either a drainboard or a microwave at the constant ready, though, so they have to stay out. I also keep my knives in a block - those are on the counter. In a corner of the counter where I wouldn't be able to cook anyway, I keep my teas on display in a rack.
I improvise additional counterspace with a wooden TV-table I picked up at Target for $8. I've been known to take my cooking into the adjacent entry where I have a chef's rack with a wooden cooking top. This is also where I keep my toaster, pots, pans, wine rack and a few additional small appliances.
drain board, french press, toaster oven, tea kettle, salt celler, pepper grinder on the counter -- that's all my tiny space can handle out. Knives, sissors, corkscrew, and favorite spatula are mounted on a magnetic strip.
I keep canisters, the KitchenAid, the food processor, and a fruit bowl on the main counter, but we've got a couple of otherwise-unusable chunks of counter, so we keep the Griddler on one and a giant utensil holder on the other.
I used to keep wire baskets of fresh fruit out, but it took up too much valuable space. I bought hanging baskets at a flea market instead to free up counter space, and they seem to stay fresher longer.
our little studio's kitchen is u-shaped with a nice peninsula that has great storage underneath.
the counter to the left of the sink, over the dishwasher, usually has the dirty dishes on it. along the back edge of that length of counter we have our square glass canisters of varying sizes stacked and grouped. it looks really neat when they're full :)
the toaster oven has coasters, the pizza cutter (circular saw!), mortar and pestle, and the fruit bowl on top of it.
the back of the stove hold the oils, salt, and pepper.
it's not cluttered at all and we're kinda lucky to have so much real estate. ok, not cluttered save for the dishes i haven't loaded yet...
the knives are on a strip also behind the stove...
I'm the opposite of everyone. I have a galley kitchen with counters and cupboards top and bottom around the whole thing. So I have LOTS of counterspace. I keep my cutting boards, flour & sugar canisters, knife block, utensil holder, 2 large bowls of fruit, spice rack, kitchenaid mixer, toaster, napkin holder, and coffee maker all out on my counter. Dishes are done nightly so i never (except on baking days) have too much backup there and there's even a place for the mail and the newspaper. I'm almost never want for kitchen countertop space. I don't know what I'll do when we move.
Just the coffee maker 4 dry-good canisters 1 bowl of produce. Our knife block is the kind that attaches to the underside of a hanging cabinet, and one of the lower cabinets is a dedicated appliance garage.
...Oh! Also my laptop.
There's way too much on my counters, but I'm slowly changing that.
For example, in the future, I plan to replace the faucet and separate sprayer with an integrated-sprayer faucet, which will both streamline the area behind the sink and allow me to have a built-in soap dispenser instead of an unsightly bottle out on the counter.
There's also a crock of utensils (not often-used ones, just ones that are too tall to fit comfortably into drawer organizers) next to the stove. In the distant future, I plan to replace the 24" DW with a 18" model, giving me space to add what Kraftmaid calls "Spice Drawyers" -- the perfect size to hold odd spatulas, stick blender, the meat thermometer and all the other homeless or ill-placed utensils.
These are both obviously expensive fixes, but I know I'll be ecstatic to streamline my countertops to free up more space for food prep. (Total countertop space is about 8 square feet--broken up in two sections.)
Coffee grinder, coffee pot, paper towel holder, napkin holder, oil & vinegar bottles, dish rack, soap.
I have way too much stuff cluttered on my countertop. I really need a better place for my toaster... I could use some tips and my cabinets are a mess too!
We have a small galley kitchen but for some reason, there seems as though there is never enough space.
Coffeemaker, soda-club water maker, 2 crocks with various utensils, big wooden cutting block/board and an upright paper towel holder.
I'd love a toaster oven but don't know where I'd put it.
I have tons of counter space yet, since I despise clutter I have only a few selected items on my countertop. I have my oil and vinegar decanters, kitchen aid stand mixer, 4 glass storage containers for hot breakfast cereals like oats a grit, telephone, spice rack, knife storage and three decorative items . With all the counter space it looks slightly on the empty side. But I like it that way. Nothing bugs me more than to walk into the kitchen and not be able to identify wants on the counter because of all the clutter.
I guess I'm a minimalist. I put nearly everything away into cupboards. Fortunately, I have enough storage/cabinet space to do so. The only things that stay on my countertops - my KA mixer, oil & vinegar decanters, my bowl of fresh produce and hand soap. It drives me crazy to have things on counters - just looks very cluttered and messy to me.
Small bottle of olive oil, sprayer with olive oil, salt and pepper, a flower pot filled with utensils, coffee grinder, and coffee maker. If you count the garden window, there's also quite a bit of herbs :-)
I also have a stainless steel kitchen table in the kitchen; the kind with an open shelf below. On top I keep the knife block, a small, wire basket that holds breads and snacks, a Coke straw holder, a jar with dog treats (there's still plenty of room for chopping), and a decorative jar of wine corks. On the bottom, I keep a larger wire basket with onions, garlic, potatoes, etc., a bowl for fruits, a 16-bottle wine fridge, the Kitchen Aid mixer, a couple of empty bottles, and a few plastic cutting boards. It sounds like a lot, but the baskets definitely help reign everything in:
http://www.maddhatterslab.com/travels/housepics/DSC_0044 (unfortunately there's not always fresh coffee cake on the counter)
Permanently on the counter:
KitchenAid mixer
Toaster (rarely used)
Coffee bean grinder
Olive oil
Kosher salt dish
4 shorty canisters holding cornmeal, sugar, sugar, and flour
Dish soap
Paper towels
Bowl of bananas
Drying dishes
Everything stays pretty well cleaned up and off the main counter (where the stove and sink are). The peninsula countertop opposite that, however, is a totally different story. I'm often cleaning it up quickly with one hand while balancing a cooling rack with hot bread on it in the other hand.
I don't like things cluttering up the minimal counter space in my kitchen. Besides the coffeemaker and grinder, I keep the dish rack and a little bowl of fruit out near the sink. Cooking oils live on a shelf above the stove and a recipe box a jar of cooking utensils are on the cart next to the stove.
I have too much counter space. There is one counter I use. I have a toaster, coffee maker, knives, a tray and lazy susan with spices, etc. on that.
I also use the island to plate food and to bake, etc.. Most of the time, it's either bare or loaded with junk. I'd love to style this so it looks pretty. Any thoughts? I've tried large scale things - they don't work. I need help with this.
On the other counter, I keep the mixer (too heavy to move). A smaller counter has a stereo and the phone.
I know we're supposed to keep the counters clear of clutter. As a designer, I feel some decorative things can work if you have the space.
Advice please!
I'm so happy to finally have counter space to work on, I about lost my mind when we moved in. My old place had only about 2 feet of workable counter space. At first, I thought it was cozy, but by the end of my time there it was just a pain! Now I have about 10-12 feet of space. And honestly, the kitchen was THE selling point for us renting this house. That said, it's been my goal to not clutter it up. Some days are better than others....
On the far end off to itself is the dish drying rack. From ther I have my cutting boards; a colander with onions, squash, potatoes; about 6 ball jars filled with rice, quinoa, and other grains; the knife block; and, in the far 3 square jars with flour and sugars.
Besides the daily use appliances (coffee maker, toaster, grinder) and the too heavy/big to move appliances (microwave and KitchenAid stand mixer), there are always dishes, dishes, dishes. Either in the drain board or stacked on the counter next to the sink. It's just me, I have a complete set of a place setting for 12 (LOVE my Denby dishes so I completed the set), and my absolute least favorite chore is doing dishes, so they tend to build up...the cat really doesn't care about dirty dishes. :)
I also have:
cutting board (bamboo)
knife block (yes, with knives)
and a lazy susan with a crock of cooking utensils (wooden spoons, tongs, spatula, etc.), pepper grinder, kosher salt container, coarse (coffee) sugar, honey, and my butter bell. The lazy susan keeps the stuff contained but easy to access.
Admittedly there are also usually a water glass (in use), whatever cookbook or recipe I've got marked for use that week, and my travel coffee thermos.
Fortunately I had space to hang a set of baskets to keep my onions, squash, potatoes, garlic, etc. up off the counter.
Really it's all stuff that I use pretty much every single day. When I'm in the kitchen cooking, it's stuff I reach for and don't want to have to dig out of a cabinet or drawer if I have messy hands. It's a modicum of clutter, but then that's how I'm comfortable. My whole apartment (and life!) has a modicum of clutter everywhere. :)
On my counter: a pretty crock to hold all my wood spoons, scraper spatulas, and whisk; a repurposed wine bottle (for olive oil); salt & pepper grinders; a pretty and well used chopping board; dish drainer; compost bucket; KA stand mixer; bowl of dried hot peppers and garlic heads. And on my butcher block, I keep my knife block, though I'm trying to find a good place for a magnetic strip. Knife blocks take up so much space!
On my counter right now- the blender, which I use for green smoothies every morning. The cutting board, propped up against the wall. The toaster oven, also used every day. A bowl with fruit in it. The pepper grinder. My utensil jar. And this really cool cookie jar that looks like a bunch of daisies. I keep popcorn in it. And that is all. On the kitchen window sill is a big granite mortar and pestle.
Only a kitchenaide (too heavy to move) and I use it quite a bit, a good toaster oven that I couldn't do without, a cheap plain microwave and one utensil crock. I have a OXO utensil rack over the stove, but they are sparing - mostly my Rosle tools. The Rosle racks aren't as good and too expensive. And a butter dish.
I have a teensy tiny rental kitchen with almost no counter space yet I have on the counters:
-a crock of utensils
-a Mickey Mouse cookie jar
-a lava lamp (I know...)
-my Kitchenaid stand mixer
-my blender
-cutting board
-behind cutting board- 3 glass jars for dry ingredients (flour, sugar, wheat flour)
- knife block
Thats whats actually on the counters. On top my microwave is a ton of cookbooks. Against my fridge is a big homemade spice rack with a zillion spices. On top my fridge is 5 or so canisters for other types of flours and sugars. I have a wine rack on top my fridge I have bottles of olive oil in too. I have tons of things stored above my stove on the little ledge the top makes. I have wine glass storage under tha cabinet above my sink and nails holding all my colanders, mesh strainers, etc above there too. I like everything out in the open.
I know I could declutter it but to be honest I don't see it as cluttery and wouldn't change a thing. I like that overly lived in look and I'm in there cooking enough that I want it to feel cozy (the lava lamp) and personal (cookie jars, homemade things).
i keep a compost bucket (for schlepping to the backyard compost pile), cutting board (functions as counter space), fruit bowl, coffee make, toaster and dish drying rack.
I am lucky to have a long galley kitchen with lots of counter space. I don't like it cluttered but do want some "punctuation" to its expanse.
I keep a very large chopping block next to the sink, oh and a detergent, soap & lotion dispenser, a bowl of coarse salt and a spoon rest (shaped metal leaf) next to stove-top, a bowl for fresh fruit, a wine carrier with olive oils and special vinegars, a straw container (for my daughter), a toaster oven, big stainless steel thermos for my husband's coffee, bird book & binoculars, a telephone, pan & pen. These are the useful and much used things. Then I try to keep fresh flowers by the sink to enjoy, and some antique tortilla stamps, a stainless steel tiffin carrier, a barometer, a scented candle - these are the "pretties." Then I confess there are the "uglies" that I try to get to their rightful destination three or four times a day: papers to recycling, dishes to dishwasher, knives back to rack in the drawer...
I might consider giving up the detergent dispenser, sending the straw container to my daughter, but I can't dispense with much else.
I'm considering to buy bamboo dinnerware series for a restaurant ,Just have a look at http://www.bamboo-dinnerware.com and find so many stuffs their

MADISON, WI (WTAQ) - Federal Judge Barbara Crabb has not decided what to do about a legal challenge to Wisconsin's ban on gay marriage.
But state attorney general J.B. Van Hollen has already asked the judge to delay any order she might make to strike down the ban -- so gay marriages don't become legal if he decides to appeal the matter.
Van Hollen told WISN-TV in Milwaukee last weekend that he expects Crabb to rule against him -- which would make an appeal possible.
The ACLU filed suit in February on behalf of eight gay couples to strike down Wisconsin's 2006 constitutional ban on gay marriage and civil unions. They also want to strike down a state law making it a crime for Wisconsin residents to have same-sex weddings elsewhere. They contend that their civil rights are being violated.
59 percent of Wisconsin residents voted yes to the gay marriage ban seven years ago -- but voter sentiment has changed since then.
A new Marquette Law School said 55 percent of Wisconsin registered voters favored same-sex marriage, with 37 percent against. If a third option for civil unions is allowed, 49 percent support gay marriage, 25 percent support civil unions, and 18 percent would oppose any legal recognition.

A new week is upon us my friends and I for one think it's going to be our best yet. Why you might ask? Well for starters I got the perfect amount of sleep this past week. I can't say for sure because I'm not some sort of scientist but I think that might have something to do with the ridiculous amount of White Russians I drank Saturday and Sunday night. It was an amazing sight my friends. Me setting up the Christmas tree with my 5 month old daughter strapped to my chest in one of those man-harnesses. Alternating between White Russians and beer the entire time.
Allan Loeb wrote the script for "21", which was alright. He also wrote the script for "Just Go with It" which was 100% not alright. So I'm not sure what to make of "San Andreas 3D", a new script he just finished about a giant earthquake that hits the famous area of land. I can't imagine it's that hard to write a 3D earthquake flick so I think we might be alright here. "The building falls and it's like RIGHT in your face and stuff. Then some rocks fall now they're in your face too. Man, it's scary." I could do this for a living.
Someone in Hollywood is playing with my tender tender emotions. If my love for Woody Harrelson is equal to anything it's my extreme hatred for Lenny Kravitz. Well alright truth be told I don't really love or hate either one of those guys but this post about their new photos from "Hunger Games" would be boring as hell without a little Joe spice, wouldn't it.
"The Summer of Massacre" is a new film coming your way and for the life of me I can't figure out if the title is actually English or not. Meaning it sounds like something a group of Germans would call their family video of their trip to NYC if one of them happened to get attacked and killed by a homeless man. The film is about a group of killers who go on a rampage but the exciting news here is that the film has officially been confirmed by the Guinness Book of World Records to have the highest body count of any movie in the history of time. So how about that! The movies in the book right next to those two fat twins who ride motorcycles.
Booo Universal Studios Orlando, BOOO! On Friday the park announced that it would be officially closing it's Jaws attraction after over 20 years of magic. No word as of yet on what attraction will be replacing the long running boat ride but unless it has a giant mechanical shark that jumps out of the water and is called "Jaws" I'm not going to be happy. What's worse is they plan on closing the ride on January 2nd, two years before my next planned trip. I think out of respect that could at least keep it open a few more years for me. They owe me at least that much.
Nice Chicago, NICE! A local news anchor of the windy city is in hot water with the locals after announcing that there is no Santa Clause during the evening news. Of course now I've also announced it so maybe I should apologize too. Then again if you're letting your kid read this you should probably apologize to him or her also. Or at least don't come crying to me when your toddler asks what "dry humping" is.
Here's an adorable little story about a female Boston area professor who has been arrested for running a meth lab out of her house. That article I'm taking this from already used the "Breaking Bad" reference so I'm really not sure where to go with this. Anyway I'm sure you're still kind of sick from the "Joe spice" comment I made early so let's just call it a day.
If you're not in the know like I am then you're probably clueless on "Hunger Games", a movie based on a book where kids are sent into a giant playing field and made to battle to the death. Well since it's based on a book and the movie is going to make the kids go gaga it's only stands to reason that the books would now be re-released with the hot teen heartthrobs adoring the cover. So here they are, the new hot sexy covers. I just used the word adorning.
When I was a kid and I popped in a VHS tape I knew I was in for a good time when I saw the Cannon Films logo come up. The "American ninja" movies alone filled up at least 3 years of a young Joe's life. And don't get me started on how much I loved the "Breakin'" films. Sadly, Cannon Films is gone but Documentary film maker Mark Harley is paying tribute to the classic video company with a new flick titled "Electric Boogaloo: The Wild, Untold Story of Cannon Films" which has just been picked up by Drafthouse Films for distribution. Seriously, you should have seen my fat 6 year old ass trying to break dance. It would've made you throw up.
"Cabin In the Woods" is a new horror flick from Drew Goddard and Joss Whedon about a guy who goes to a cabin with some friends and then finds a bunch of weird awful crap. I know that makes no sense but that's what we've got for a plot description. Want to get even more confused? Check out the new poster for the film. It's got a cabin all messed up like a rubix cube or some crap. I don't even know why I'm telling you this. Seriously, I was so fat and I was trying to do a head spin.
America may have never have gotten over the whole Tom Cruise going crazy thing but no one can deny that's he's just so tiny and adorable you want to lock him in your closet and keep him for your own. Every morning you'd wake up and peek inside the closet to see little Tom Cruise sleeping on the tiny little bed he's chained to. At night you'd dress him up in doll clothing and put on elaborate dinner shows with him as the star. All the while knowing that you've got one of Hollywood's top leading men as your little tiny man doll. It would be a dream. Anyway, Tom's going to star in "All You Need Is Kill" as a solider who gets trapped in a time loop when he's killed. I think I've said too much.
Here's a story about a guy in Florida who became so upset when his hooker didn't finish the job that he kidnapped her one year old daughter. I want you to sit there and think about that sentence for a minute. Now go call your mother and tell her that you love her.
And the insect take over has begun. Here's a freakin grasshopper the size of your god damn hand. We had a good run folks.
"Let Me In" Wunder-Director Matt Reeves has signed on to tackle the Frankenstein flick "This Dark Endeavor" based on the book with the same name. The film is just the latest in a long line of Frankenstein based films to be announced which means 2012 could very much be the year of the reanimated dead. Neck bolts are going to be soooo hot, I can just feel it.
The latest name to be added to the cast of "Dexter" season 6 is none other than Edward James Olmos. Colin Hanks and Mos Def have already been signed on and I can only assume that the addition of Olmos means that Dexter will be moving to a rough inner city and Olmos will play a teacher who shows him the powers of math. That's not racist, he did it in "Stand and Deliver".
So many people have been added to the cast of "Hunger Games" that I have officially forgotten what the movie is even about and now that Lenny Kravitz is on board I just want to punch it right in the face. I'm kidding, it's about two areas that send children to battle each other. I'm not kidding about the punching in the face though, Lenny Kravitz is a prick.
If you're like me then you spend most of your time as a bachelor paying strange women to break into your home, tie you up and torture you for two hours. Well good news fellow deviants, the movie "Kidnapped" is everything you've dreamt of and more and there's a new trailer out for the film to prove it. Of course I don't believe there's any sort of safe word involved in this, so that could get sketchy.
A North Carolina man is under arrest after he walked into his local Salvation Army, took off his pants and sat down on a couch with all his goodness hanging out for the world to see. Of course the obvious question here is how much is the couch discounted now that it's all covered in creepy old man juices.
Must be open season for showing your genitals in North Carolina because here's another guy who was so pissed off that his local Bojangles ran out of fried chicken that he decided to whip his bits out and show the woman working at the drive-thru window. I have no idea how that solves the chicken problem but I like his enthusiasm.
God please let this drag out. Apparently there's a big ass distribution rights argument going on between Relativity Media and The Weinsteins for who gets to put out "The Crow" remake. Lawyers are getting involved and much to my surprise apparently both groups actually want to put out the film. I assumed it was some sort of kicking in the balls match they had for who has to put out the movie or something.
Did you like "Tron: Legacy"? You did!? Me too! We're twins! Did you notice I make this same joke every other week!? You did!? Go to hell! Anyway the same fellas that wrote the script for the Tron sequel have now picked up the torch to bring the comic book "Rex Mundi" to the big screen for Johnny Depp's production company, Infinitum Nihil. That name of course means whale's vagina in German. Screw you guys, you come up with Rob Zombie jokes every other day.
Here's more exciting casting news for "Hunger Games"! Willow Shields has been cast as Primrose Everdeen, the younger sister of someone else in the movie that I have no idea about. Just so we're clear I am still completely confused buy the plot of the movie, which apparently has children fighting to the death. And now I have no idea who this Everdeen girl is. Wait has anyone seen my glasses?! Oh Christ!
"Dylan Dog: Dead of Night" has gotten jack and squat as far as advertising but mother of god it looks pretty good. Need proof? Look at this new clip that features some sort of mega-zombie type creature. And then you can F yourself for ever questioning me. I thought we were past that.
Mother of god the animal rights pricks ruin everything! Goldfish racing at the Harmon Tap Room in Tacoma Washington has been canceled after those tree huggers complained because a few goldfish died. They know you can get 40 goldfish for about 5 bucks, right? That's how much their lives cost! God I hate hippies.
"An incredibly dangerous, homemade mini crossbow made of silver and gold that shoots flaming firework darts". Get me this and I swear I will give you my first born... but not really.
Evan Spiliotopoulos, who you know as the writer of the sequel to 75% of the greatest Disney cartoons has been tapped direct "Ouija". McG has already been announced as the director of the flick based on the Hasbro board game that has allowed me to speak to George Burns from beyond the grave. Every night I force him to explain to me what it was like on the set of "Oh, God!". I think he's starting to get pretty sick of it.
If you picked up "Portal 2" yesterday then you probably already know this, but for those of you who have a day job and can't spend all night being called a "Noob" by some 11 year old Australian kid over XBox Live, it might be interesting to know that Mr. J.J. Abrams has included a pretty cool interactive trailer for "Super 8" in the extras section of the game. So maybe go pick up the game, huh? Or just Google the video... it's a lot cheaper.
John Luessenhop, who looks like a guy who would be described as "a quiet man" on a news report announcing he murdered his family and ate them, is in talks to possibly direct the upcoming "Leatherface 3D" hot pocket. The nugget is a sequel to the 2003 "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre" remake. Did I mention the movie is going to be in 3D? And I talked about the creepy murderer director, right? Are you as excited as I am? Probably.
Leven Rambin has been cast in the upcoming flick "Hunger Games" in the role of Glimmer. Jennifer Lawrence will play District 12's Katniss Everdeen and the two will apparently battle to the death. This will apparently be the first film in a series that I have absolutely no idea about and if I'm being honest I haven't understood one thing I've talked about in this little blurb. I'm so confused.
If you're trying to win over a judge at your divorce hearing so you can say get custody of the family dog or something you might want to avoid beating the hell out of your soon to be ex-wife in the judges chambers. I don't know, I'm not lawyer though so what do I know.
An air traffic controller has been suspended after he was watching "Cleaner" on a portable DVD player while he was suppose to be directing traffic. Was he suspended because it was "Cleaner" or just because he was watching a movie in general? I've never seen or even heard of "Cleaner" actually, is it that bad?
This week we discuss alchemy, camera technology, a first time guest host joins the show, and we review "As Above, So Below".

More reviews by camillacamilla
I was in Walgreens and saw this was marked down with a "last chance" sticker on it, so I thought, "why not"? I remembered the great reviews it had and had seen it used in a FOTD by a member with great skin.
I am "buff" in Colorstay, "ecru" in Doublewear and "light" in BE and picked up "wheat". Initially, wheat is a tad too light, but then it blends and melts into my skin for a perfect match. Which is what I find odd about this foundation- the first five minutes after you apply it, you look cakey and pasty. Then POOF, it blends into your skin and looks like perfection. It even passed my outside mirror test. Take any mirror, go into bright outside light, and look how pronounced or hidden your skin flaws are. This foundation helped hide the large pores and discoloration I live with (ah- tanning bed use in my teen years=paying for it now in my 30s).
I actually stumbled upon usuing this as a finishing powder as well for a super flawless, airbrushed look. I used this over Revlon Custom Creation foundation, and it resulted in a full coverage, super flawless look. I was shocked that it was MY skin that looked like perfection.
I hope that "last chance" sticker that was on this at Walgreens means they are repackaging this, and not discontinuing it. Maybe I better go back and stock up, just in case.

This is my first powder foundation, since I have flaky since I've always though powder foundation would be too drying for me. Surprisingly this works on my skin! I bought Natural Beige for my NC30-ish skin and it's a pretty good match, no yellow or pink, just a neutral color. The other possible color was Soft Spice but that one has quite a bit of yellow in it. Staying power is also surprisingly good, after 8 hours or so still looked pretty good and only a bit of shine in the usual areas. The package is ok too. However, I have found that I can not wear this 2 days in a row because it does do strange things to my skin if I wear it too much. Never mind, I will still repurchase! Not HG, but great for every(other)day wear.

After reading the great reviews on this product, I decided to try it. I'm so glad I did. It's a great powder foundation! Being the makeup junkie that I am, I have tried many other brands (BE, Sonia Kashuk, Almay, L'Oreal, you name it), and I must say that, among the full coverage ones, this one is the best. Great coverage w/o looking powdery. I chose Wheat, which is a tad light for me, but it's winter, so it's ok. I use it over my Olay Total Effect Anti-Aging Anti-Blemish (I swear by that cream as primer for powder ftds) and it looks great. I used it with a brush and with a sponge. Worked both times. I still have to try it wet. Great price, too!

This product beats Maybelline PureStay powder foundation and MaxFactor powder foundation. It covers MUCH better than both, looks smoother/more like my natural skin than both of those. It gave a wonderful glow! I think it is almost a perfect color match in Wheat (I use the lightest shade Maybelline has in PureStay powder, and I used light champagne in Max Factor). As an added bonus, it did not change colors or turn orange/pinkish as the day went on! I really felt like it looked like I was wearing something much more expensive than this, which is a good thing! It stayed put on my oily face for longer than Maybelline. I hope it continues to perform!!
EDIT: After a week of using this and comparing to Maybelline Purestay powder foundation, Prestige does not control my [very] oily skin as long as Purestay Powder. I am still using it because Prestige *covers* better overall and is a better color match... but it just doesn't hold up as long as I thought it was going to. I have to retouch with powder twice and some days it just seems to slide off my face.
Now, if only Maybelline Purestay made the "Wheat" color of Prestige and had better coverage... the search continues...
EDIT: I think this is causing me to break out more than I would normally - definitely seems to clog pores. NOTE: It isn't just this brand however, it now seems my skin doesn't like powder foundations :-(

I love this product! I've tried applying it wet, which seems to provide more coverage, and I've applied it dry, which just gives a natural your-skin-but-better look. It feels amazing on my skin, absolutely weightless! I wore it to work tonight, and it stayed on for at least 8 hours with very minimal shine (only a bit on the tip of my nose, which always gets oily). It's still less shiny than with any other powder foundations. I got this on sale for about $4, and I've found a great color match in Warm Ivory. The one thing I don't love is the packaging. I like that the applicator and foundation are in separate compartments, but I really wish the mirror was on top, so I wouldn't have to keep moving the foundation around. It's also difficult to open at first, but the closure seems to loosen up a bit with use. I would most definitely buy this again!

I agree with pretty much everythign sadendingsong said. This is a PHENOMENAL product! It has great coverage that I thought I would never be able to get from a powder and the finish is flawless- it even makes you look glowy with no shimmer! I LOVE this foundation AND their creme to powder foundation, but sadly every color is too yellow-based for me which is SO upsetting! The finish of both is completely flawless and would be my HG if they didn't turn gray on my pink-toned skin. :( If you have yellow toned skin you should absolutely try this! (Found at Walgreen's for under $7)

this has amazing coverage.. I feel like this is what mineral foundation is supposed to look like!!! all their claims about excellent coverage and glowing complexion in powder form is basically fulfilled by this product. this also kept me oil free the longest out of any foundation, powder, primer, etc. I've tried. it even works applied wet... and the two sided sponge is pretty useful too. my only complaint: the color selection is a tad small. I used natural beige and it turned a little orange. I guess next time I'll go with wheat but otherwise this is good stuff

LOVE this. I think I can call this my HG powder foundation.
It gives medium coverage with the provided sponge (which is nice quality; half normal sponge, the other side has a flocked material), can be lighter with a f luffy brush, and has a great finish - not powdery at all! Just extremely natural. Also, I have combo skin, and this doesnt dry out my dry areas too much...doesnt hold back oil much more than the standard powder either.
I am light/medium Asian, and Wheat is a great color for me just a touch too light. No pink or peach at all, just neutral/golden.

On my quest to find a wonderful powder foundation, I came across this. I have tried so many others, loose and pressed, and I have found a few I did like. Most of them were either reformulated or discontinued. Figures. Anywho, this is great! I love that it is pressed because it is SO portable and not messy. I just swirl my brush around the pan and then on my face. No fuss. It has never caused me to break out, and has really good coverage. It can get a little cakey on the dry areas, but nothing a little moisturizer won't fix. The pan has broken out of the compact, so I just have it sitting in there. But for $7.50, what do you expect. I'd rather the product is excellent and the package sucks, rather than the other way around. I was pleasantly surprised by the results of the foundation. For reference, I use it in Wheat, which is a bit dark for me. No biggie. I finish my look with a little pressed powder by Body & Soul in Cream, and it helps to lighten it. THANK YOU MUAer gals for the reviews! Without them, I might not have ever stumbled upon this little gem!

Well...i finally took the leap...a foundation that cost less than 20pounds!(6pounds to be exact) this stuff is so strange,i tried it with a sponge cos thats how i apply my clarins powder and it was a mess and i figured thats wot u get for 6quid but i just tried it again cos i'm bored but this time i buffed it on with a brush and its a whole different story!wonderfull coverage,beautiful finish,i always thought a pure matt finish was a given with a powder untill its been on 4 a while but from the second u apply this it gives a nice natural glow,the kind u expect from a super sheer illuminating foundation!it doesn't have an spf so no ghost faces in photo's(and yes i did just take a photo of myself to check!lol!)i dunno how it'd stand up to a long day but even if it only lasts a few hours its earned its 6pounds in my book!only downside is that it doesn't have the widest range of colour but i'll let it off!

Riverside Farmer Wins Special Award
In recognition of more than 50 years of service to the ag community, Riverside County, Calif., farmer Dan Hollingsworth has earned the highest award bestowed by the California Farm Bureau Federation – the CFBF Distinguished Service Award.
A nursery owner and former dairy farmer, Hollingsworth has held numerous leadership positions within Farm Bureau, including president of the Riverside County Farm Bureau and as a member of the California Farm Bureau Board of Directors.
"What makes Dan so special is his commitment to farming and ranching here in California, plus his dedication to improving food supplies internationally," CFBF president Paul Wenger says.

text: Well, af showed 13dpo on my first clomid cycle. Although it didn't work, it definitely improved my LP- only a tiny bit of spotting evening of 12dpo as opposed to starting 5dpo. Just heard back from my RE and am increasing to 100mg days 3-7, hsg on cd9, and monitoring ultrasound cd12. That should make the first half of this cycle go quickly, just hoping the second half goes by at more than a crawl!

I just got my orchestra audition music
The rep we're doing this fall includes
- Rachmaninoff Isle of the Dead
- Beethoven Symphony 8 (yesssss!)
- Mendelssohn Ruy Blas Overture
- Barber Essay No. 1
- Schumann Symphony 3
- Wagner Prelude to Der Meistersinger (one I've played before, yay!)
- Ravel La Valse
So that's exciting. My first thought was, "These excerpts look pretty hard… I'mma have to practice the shit out of them."
My second thought was "Wait, why are there no separate piccolo excerpts? Is he not auditioning picc separately this year?" :(
Then I realized I needed to check out my competition…
The two other people who were in it last year, two people who won't actually be auditioning, and two freshmen. Alright. I can handle this.
