Customer Reviews
- epic pot!!! Review by shawn
- Great kettle once set up correctly Review by Jim
My initial attempt at installing the thermometer and ball valve ended up in a leaking boil. After that happened, I disassembled both the ball valve and thermometer from the kettle, removed both outside o-rings, added food grade silicone lubricant to the 2 inside o-rings, teflon taped the through screw grooves, and re-installed with both o-ring nuts on the inside of the kettle. I can now tighten both very tight without ruining the o-rings. Both thermometer and ball valve are nice and secure with no leaks.
There's so much heat on the outside o-rings from the burner. They just torch and lose their shape.
The only other thing I'd do different is order without the thermometer and just buy it separately. My thermometer hazed up slightly at parts after first use. It also is really not worth the $50 extra.
Overall, this is a great kettle that I'm very glad I bought. The 10g size is awesome for all grain brews. No more micromanaging the boil status to keep from boiling over.

- Bang for buck Review by Mark
- Excellent Products and Excellent Customer Support Review by Jim
I spoke with the NB folks because I wanted my pots with just the two holes....but no valves or thermometer. I added my own 3 piece valves and Blichmann adjustable thermometers for each pot. I got an extra hole punched in my BK and MLT at my LHBS so that I could add a whirlpool setup and a recirculating return valve for my new rig - a direct fired RIMS.
These pots are stout and very easy to clean. THANK YOU Northern Brewer ! AWESOME product....AWESOME company! (Posted on 4/28/14)
- Very simple, well-documented instructions -- works like a charm Review by Kevin
Excellent products and you just can't beat $7.99 flat rate shipping on most products.
I ordered the 10 gallon MegaPot with ball valve and thermometer (a Blichmann, by the way) last Friday (3/28) with two other items. Arrived today by UPS (4/4). Packed to withstand "careless delivery", everything arrived tip top.
Everything was documented to understand -- installed the ball valve and thermometer in about 60 minutes...while having dinner and drinking a homebrew. No leaks, no issues....very very pleased with my purchase. (Posted on 4/5/14)
- Great Value Review by Doug
Additions I made that really help...for boil kettle or HLT...I replaced the inside valve coupler with a SS street elbow (female / hose barb from brewhardware) to function as a dip tube. Now I can drain all but two cups from kettle if I so desire without tipping. Also added a heat shield to protect valve and thermometer. (Posted on 3/31/14)
- A vigorous boil indeed. Review by Matt
Promotes a perfect even boil with the boil coming up from the center of the wort, just as they advertise.
When I first assembled it and had some leakage, but I figured out that I switched the orings whilst assembling the ball valve. Be careful to use the correct orings in the proper place (the directions specify).
Although we did have some problems getting a steady boil, I think that was because of weather and out own inexperience as opposed to the kettle.
A meritorious product. Would buy another. (Posted on 3/9/14)
- So far...So Good Review by Jeff
- OUTTA THE PARK Review by Robert
- Beautiful and nearly perfect Review by Scott
First the good stuff:
1. The construction is heavy duty and super high quality. I will never need another kettle - this one will last several lifetimes.
2. The bottom is super thick and does a good job of even heat distribution.
3. I am so glad they thought to put the graduated scale on the inside so I can throw away my dowel rod with gallon marks on it. I don't know how the gallon markings were put on (i.e. etched or decals or ?) but they seem to be very durable.
4. The lid and handles are also very high quality and heavy duty. The rubber grip handles aren't strictly necessary, but they are a nice touch.
All in all, I am in love with this kettle and am very glad that I chose it. I would happily buy this again. (Posted on 1/21/14)
- Things to Note Review by Grayson
Arrived disassembled as advertised. Assembly instructions were on par and the assembly was simple. However, the fitting for the ball valve leaked noticeably. A steady formation of droplets created a nice little puddle with 2 gallons of water in it cold.
After reading some reviews and talking to a friend with one, I went to the local hardware store and bought new 3/4 inch interior diameter o-rings that are just slightly thicker and some new plumbing teflon tape. Completely disassembled the ball valve, re wrapped all threads and reassembled the kit. No more leaks. Put some heat on it, waited for expansion and trickles, and tightened.
It didnt leak for brew day and I was satisfied, but would have like it to have been completely capable with included equipment at its current price point.
All in all, this is a solid piece of kit. Would have gotten 5 stars if not for the issue mentioned above. Just save yourself some headache and lean forward on the upgrade of the software included with this kettle. (Posted on 1/13/14)
- Solid! Review by Rob
- Stop thinking about it and just buy it! Review by @HappyHuskyBrews
The only point of caution is that you may want to take the valve apart prior to putting it in. My valve failed the initial water tight test and upon taking it apart I found the internal threads were poorly taped. But some fresh teflon tape and reassembly and it held beautifully. (Posted on 1/4/14)
- Great Kettle Review by Greg
I got the 10 gallon pot and it is heavy duty! It works great for a full volume boil for a 5 gallon batch. I'm sure that this kettle will last me until I die and will it over to my best drinking buddy, at which point it will last him until he dies.
I would recommend getting the built in thermometer. I debated sticking with my cheap meat thermometer, but the built in one is really handy for getting precise temperatures. This is especially important for full-grain brewing.
Great kettle. It took me a couple months to decide upon it, but I'm really happy with my choice! (Posted on 12/27/13)
- Best brewing purchase ever Review by Brian
- Great Kettle Well Made Review by Larry
I brewed with this on a 3700 watt induction burner. It heated up faster and maintained a boil with less energy than I expected. (Posted on 10/26/13)
- Well worth it! Review by John
- Overall happy Review by Vincent
My only bone of contention is the location of the hole for the thermometer. The instructions for the installation for the thermometer specify a minimum height for the probe from the bottom of the kettle. The hole placement on the MegaPot 1.2 is below that minimum height. Albeit, only 1/2", but I'd expect them to adhere to the recommendations at this price. Splitting hairs. If I get another one (and I'm planning to), I'll drill the holes myself using a step drill.
Well, I guess two bones of contention. The graduated markings on the inside aren't laser etched. Painted on? A vigorous scrub and my markings are going to disappear. (Posted on 10/15/13)

For one La Grange family, a nearly three-year dream to visit Mickey Mouse is coming true.
Hayli Nobles, 4, is one of many children granted Make-a-Wish dreams every year. Since being diagnosed with actute myleoid leukemia in 2010, her dream has been to see the princesses at Disney World.
On Monday, Hayli's wish was granted, as a limo pulled up to the family's La Grange residence to take them to the airport for a trip to Orlando.
For Virginia Broyles, farming was more than a way of life.
The 102-year-old spent many years working her farm in Brownsboro, before spending the last nine years at Friendship Health and Rehab in Pewee Valley.
But thanks to a partnership between Friendship and Opal's Dream, Broyles was once again transported back to the farm on Saturday morning with the help of the Oldham County Historical Society's Antique Iron Club.
When Patty Sweetall of Prospect turned her athletic efforts from competitive running and triathlons to swimming, she never thought she could be a world champion.
Sweetall, 54, recently won ninth place in the 100-meter breaststroke, sixth place in the 200-meter breaststroke and participated in the 50-meter at the FINA World Masters Swimming Championships in Montreal, Canada in August.
Combining work with something you love is often a good career choice and Michael Vogt, of Vogt's Vineyards, LLC in La Grange, really loves wine.
"It's a hobby that's become an obsession," he said.
Partnering with his wife, Carina, the two are hoping to start selling their own wines and eventually open up La Grange's first vineyard in the future.
As many teenagers jump in their new cars and speed off to the big football game on Friday night, 16-year-old Alden Sachs is most likely training for his next military marathon.
Sachs, a junior at South Oldham High School, has had the dream of being a Marine since the third grade, but because he is too young to enlist, he decided to show his dedication to his country in a different way.
Owners of a 15-month-old, 180-pound Vietnamese Pot-bellied pig from La Grange are trying their best to get their pet to the land of blockbuster motion pictures, red carpets and shining stars with the help of their local community.
Oink, Oink, the mini pot-bellied pig who is far from being small, was brought to owner Mo Thomas of La Grange, when the animal was five months old and several months later he's become part of the family.
"He minds better than the kids," Thomas said.
Roughly 50 years to the day, 14 women in their 20s gathered in La Grange with a similar goal in mind, one focused on improving their community by tackling smaller, but necessary, projects.
Little did they know that decades later, that first official meeting of Project Guild would lead to numerous fundraising events, a day-long festival or even a parade where they will be honored as grand marshals this year.
One of Oldham County's oldest services is celebrating its 100th birthday this year with a float in the annual Oldham County Day Parade.
The Oldham County Extension Office was first opened by John T. Taylor in 1914 and has grown from a rural agriculture outreach service to one available to any resident of the county, extension agent Traci Missun said.
"We're open for anybody," Missun said. "We have a diverse client base. Our mission is to serve people and be a non-biased point of information for people."
Comic Jim Gaffigan shares some humorous thoughts about Halloween. He says, "My favorite holiday is Halloween, and not because women use the opportunity to dress like prostitutes… As a kid Halloween was amazing. You dress like a super hero, bang on your neighbor's door and they give you some candy. If I do that today then my neighbor wants me arrested."
Students from all middle and high schools across the county came together Wednesday night for Fields of Faith, a student-led program at which students share personal testimonies of faith and challenge each other to lead Christ-centered lives. Speakers included students from North, South and Oldham County high schools, as well as guest speaker Aaron Nance, a former Seneca High School standout athlete and University of Louisville football player.

I reported this morning on a tool at Webmaster Eyes that overlays Google's PageRank bars on top of your pages. The tool works somewhat like how Google Analytics, ClickTracks and other Web analytics pages overlays click through data on your most popular links.
For example, plug in searchenginewatch.com and take a look at the overlay chart. I tend to like to plug in a URL of a sitemap page, so you can get an overview of your complete site PR distribution page by page. I attached an image of my sidebar navigation with the PR plots overlaid for your quick review. Try it yourself at http://www.webmastereyes.com/, notice there may be issues with PR bar placement for some sites.
Again, as I noted in my previous post, Google PageRank is not the final say in ranking well in Google. Google claims it is used for determining crawl frequency and other ranking aspects. But many SEO professionals have uninstalled the Google Toolbar, to make a statement about PageRank's worth.

RENO, Nev. — Reno police say a total of nine people have died in a crash of a World War II-era plane at an air race.
The deaths include seven who were killed on the tarmac, including the pilot, and two others who died at hospitals.
The new death toll was announced at a briefing with local and federal investigators.
Investigators say they are examining the site, gathering information and are encouraged by the large number of photos and videos available to them.
They have not speculated on a cause but organizers pointed to a possible mechanical failure.

The curtain has been pulled back on the new SIG Sauer P320, and the response has been mixed from the people I have spoken to. Since SIG did not attend Media Day, I have not had a chance to shoot this new gun. However, I have handled the guns in the company's exhibit. Any review would be incomplete, but I can give you my initial impressions of the gun.
In a nutshell: I'm underwhelmed.
I was initially excited about the prospects of a striker-fired SIG. However, it appears the gun is just a striker mechanism dropped into a P250. The guns look very similar and the P320 even has a plate covering the back of the slide where one would expect the P250's hammer to be.
If the P320 is simply a P250 with a striker-fired mechanism in it, I think SIG has missed the mark. The double action trigger of the P250 was not the only reason the guns have been only moderately popular with shooters. While I would hate to think the P320 was rushed through development, modifying an existing platform would certainly be a shortcut to getting a new gun to market.
The upside of the P320 being a P250 clone is that it should fit holsters already on the market. Since SIG is positioning this pistol as a law enforcement duty weapon, having duty-style retention holsters already on the market is a huge benefit when trying to sell a department on these pistols.
The trigger on the guns felt good, and the reset was obvious. I would have to get one on the range before I could determine if I like it, but I suspect the trigger will be pretty good.
So, what do you think? Does a striker-fired version of the P250 make sense to you? Or, should SIG started with a clean slate when designing a new pistol?

I know nobody likes a boaster, but this is pretty cool you have to admit. As so many of you guys have iPhones, Android phones or other 'smartphones', and as most hostels offer free WiFi these days (one of the best things about them if you ask me), this new feature will make browsing our mobile site an even better experience.

Topics: Health IT, Insurance, Politics, Health Reform
Oct 22, 2013
The Obama administration has been tight-lipped about the cause of the website problems, who has signed on to fix them and what their timetable might be. News outlets report on ideas advanced by technology experts and explore the practical and political ramifications of delayed enrollment.
Kaiser Health News: How Long Does Obama Have To Fix Healthcare.gov?
They've got a few weeks. But if federal officials can't get the new online insurance marketplace running smoothly by mid-November, the problems plaguing the three-week-old website could become a far bigger threat to the success of the health law, hampering enrollment and fueling opponents' calls to delay implementation, say analysts (Appleby, 10/21).
Bloomberg: Obamacare Crashes Months In Coming Not Easily Repaired
The frantic weeks before the start of Obamacare were marked by a chaotic effort in which officials failed to complete exhaustive testing of the program's website in a push to begin signups by Oct. 1, according to people involved in the rollout. The federal Healthcare.gov site -- which has been plagued by software bugs -- went live without attempts to replicate a customer's complete experience, said a person familiar with the project who asked not to be identified to discuss what happened (Dorning, Wayne and Miller, 10/22).
Fox News: ObamaCare Website Fix-It Team Faces Massive Undertaking, Warning Signs Detailed
The overhaul of the broken ObamaCare website could be a massive undertaking, with one specialist reportedly saying 5 million lines of code may have to be rewritten and indications that the newly hired tech team may need weeks to repair the system. The details come amid reports that, in advance of the Oct. 1 launch of HealthCare.gov, several issues had raised red flags among the very people charged with putting the website together. The administration is now in a scramble to fix the problems that have prevented many from signing up for health insurance online. President Obama on Monday directed the public to apply over the phone or by mail -- but at the same time, the White House did not rule out delaying the health law's 2014 requirement on individuals to buy insurance (10/22).
NBC News: Better Use The Phone: Why Obamacare Website Is Such A Fail[ure]
The Obama administration has been tight-lipped on just what the problems are with the website, which was originally billed as something resembling Travelocity for health insurance — a place online where people could go to compare one plan to another and get a price. But experts point out that HealthCare.gov was never that simple. While most in the industry are confident that Obama can keep his promise to eventually fix the site, they say there are multiple places where things may have gone wrong. "Buying a health plan is a lot more complicated than buying a flight," says Brandon Cruz, president of GoHealth, a private health insurance marketplace. "When you're buying a health plan, you need to know all the doctors in the network, what you deductible will be, what your co-insurance will be. And the terminology is so foreign" (Fox, 10/21).
NPR: The HealthCare.gov 'Tech Surge' Is Racing Against The Clock
A "tech surge" is underway to help clean up the code of the error-plagued HealthCare.gov site. The Obama administration says this surge is made up of engineers from inside and outside government, but beyond saying that Presidential Innovation Fellows are involved, officials haven't specified who's making up those teams and what exactly they're doing to fix the systemic issues with the site. Either way, tech industry leaders say the tech system — responsible for helping people in 36 states get health coverage — may have such deep flaws that it could take several months to fix them (Hu, 10/21).
Politico: ACA Team: Best, Brightest — And A Mystery
The "best and the brightest" also appear to be the cloaked and elusive. President Barack Obama insists he's culled the country's tech elite to help repair the mangled Healthcare.gov website. But the administration hasn't made its smart new crew public, and any of the tech companies or federal contractors involved remain tight-lipped. The silence may stem from a tangle of obstructions and fears — from the complex legal requirements for federal procurement contracts to the increasingly volatile politics associated with Obamacare."Experts from some of America's best private sector tech companies" have volunteered to help, Obama said from the Rose Garden on Monday. "They want it to work. They are reaching out." But it's not even clear to some in Silicon Valley how tech could save it (Meyers and Romm, 10/21).
CBS News: What's Being Done To Fix Obamacare Site Bugs?
The Obama administration is relying on the nation's insurance industry to help fix healthcare.gov. But insurance firms have complained the administration did not reveal the full design of the site until the day of launch -- when it was too late to suggest changes (Andrews, 10/21).
Politico: Ezekiel Emanuel Wants Obamacare Website Briefings
Former White House health care adviser Ezekiel Emanuel said Monday that the administration should be giving "wonky" daily briefings on what is wrong with the health care exchange website — and how they're going to fix it. "I think they need to have daily briefings and they need to give us milestones over the next four weeks as to what we should look for for improvement. Reassurance verbally is not worth much at this point," Emanuel said on MSNBC's "Morning Joe." The former adviser to the Office of Management and Budget, who left the administration in 2011, said the briefings should be detailed (Kopan, 10/21).
ABC News: How Steve Jobs Would Fix Obamacare
With a product desperately in need of improving, it's no wonder that Obama has Steve Jobs on the brain. Jobs, the founder of Apple and the man behind the iPod and iPhone, was known to be a brilliant innovator, not because he invented new things, but because he improved on existing technologies. "Consider that just a couple of weeks ago, Apple rolled out a new mobile operating system. And within days, they found a glitch, so they fixed it. I don't remember anybody suggesting Apple should stop selling iPhones or iPads -- or threatening to shut down the company if they didn't," Obama recently told reporters. "That's not how we do things in America. We don't actively root for failure. We get to work, we make things happen, we make them better, we keep going." Obama's not the only one evoking Apple and Jobs to make a point about Obamacare. Conservatives have also used Jobs, who died in 2011 ... as evidence that the government should never have gotten involved in selling insurance and building websites (Goldman, 10/21).

Will ensure that Punjab's voice is heard more in Delhi: Jaitley
Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader and the BJP's candidate from Amritsar Arun Jaitley on Saturday said he humbly accepts the praise heaped on him by Punjab Chief Minister Prakash Singh Badal, and also pledged that it will be his focus that Punjab's voice is heard more in parliament.
"These are all comments made in the course of a campaign. I can assure you that I am not looking for any position. Probably what he had in his mind is quite legitimate, that Amritsar and Punjab needs a good voice at the centre, and probably, that is one of the expectations from me. And, with all humility and modesty, I must say that I am reasonably qualified to be that effective voice of this region in Delhi," Jaitley said.
The BJP's Lok Sabha candidate also placed emphais on the need for overall infrastructural development in Amritsar.
"This city has a historical place in India. The religion promotes tourism, and it is also a city of trade. Att one stage, it was known for manufacturing, although manufacturing is going down. Hence, Amritsar needs a boost in infrastructural development. I have seen in the last few years, flyovers and roads improving. The environment of trade and business, including religious tourism infrastructure, has to improve. If we make a breakthrough in border trade and expand, then this city becomes a hub of border trade, and that itself is the aspiration of the people here," Jaitley added.
On Friday, Badal introduced Jaitley as a future deputy prime minister-in-waiting to the people of the border district of Attari during the BJP leader 's first public rally here, which could potentially raise hackles within the BJP.

Works like a tinted moisturizer but can provide quite decent coverage if used with a kabuki brush, depends on your application technique. I usually used this as a base and then follow up with a concealor on my zits or hyperpigmentation. In terms of performance, it is nothing special or groundbreaking, something you can expect from a high-end cosmetics brand.
I use the oil-free formula as I have oily skin, it dries quite matte but I still have to use an oil blotter perhaps after about 5 hours. Decent staying power.
Only really good thing I can think of: It hasn't broken me out (yet).
However, I think it works just OKAY, and is really just an average...definitely not worth the price at all - paid $63 in Singapore. I will not repurchase because I'm confident I can get a similar (or even better product) for cheaper.

Misnamed: definitely delivers as a foundation and not a TM. Shades tend to oxidize and darken post-application as skin warms up. Sits on top of skin creating a 'made-up' look. Prone to transferring. What's to like?

This is a "best product" on Beautypedia, so I bought a tube at Nordstrom, as I was looking for a light coverage foundation with spf that would leave my skin feeling slightly hydrated. This fit the bill perfectly. I was told that this is a NEW FORMULA AS OF MID-2011, so perhaps some of the older reviews here might not be applicable.
I have very pale skin and was matched to the "Alabaster" shade, which matches me perfectly. It dries to a nice matte, yet SLIGHTLY dewy finish and looks ridiculously natural. It's really just what I was looking for. I look like I don't have foundation on, and like I have gorgeous skin.
It's a little on the expensive side, so I didn't want to use a sponge or brush to apply it. It would probably blend best with a slightly damp sponge, but I use my fingers. It doesn't have much "slip" to it, so it doesn't spread as silky and smooth as other foundations, but that also means that it has great staying power and doesn't melt off my face. I got the hang of the texture and find it works best to put a dime-sized amount in my left palm and use the fingers of my right hand to dot and blend it in. Once it's blended it looks lovely and I will definitely buy again, especially because of the broad-sspectrum spf. Love!

the TM i have has an spf15. it is fairly pricey (~$40) but it leaves a fairly matte finish which I really like especially in the summer. It also provides decent coverage and evens out my skin tone well.
Totally gutted. Previous formulation was my HG but this is just not the same. Colours are totally different and aside from that consistency is different also.
I was Light Tint before and now that's too dark and Extra Light Tint is too pale and doesn't provide any coverage at all.
I also preferred the previous packaging as the tube was shorter and fit in a little make-up bag for when I went out. Sales assistants told me that lots of people complained about the previous packaging as it leaked. I never had any problems with it but I don't care about the packaging really if it's a good product.
Really annoyed also that when I bought this and commented on the new packaging the assistant at the Bobbi counter didn't mention that formulation or colours had changed. I didn't try it out before buying because I thought it was the same product I already owned.
If anybody from BB keeps an eye on reviews here please please switch back to the old formulation.

For some reason this was sold at Holt Renfrew without any ingredients list, neither on the packaging or inside the box. The SA assured me this didn't have silicones in it. Turns out the second ingredient is a silicone, which my skin hates in large doses. After two days of wearing this I started to break out with deep, large pimples. My skin is normally very clear. Only products heavy with silicones give me these kinds of pimples.
I was matched to "Light Tint". When first applied it's wearable (a touch too dark perhaps) but this oxidizes a lot, becoming more orange toned and dark over time. After it oxidizes my skin tone looks ruddy and uneven. Terrible!
It wasn't hydrating either. The tube packaging is nice. That's about the only good thing I can say about this.
In short: pore clogging and oxidizes to an unflattering colour for me.

This WAS HG for me for a very long time until it was reformulated. I turned to it years ago when I was fed up with trying to find a foundation to match my fair, yellow undertoned-skin that was sensitive, dry and combo, this stuff was great for so long.
However, the new formulation is a disaster for me. Let me count thy ways:
1) The colors have changed, I was "medium" but now the medium is a deep dark yellow on me (hello jaundice!). There is a light-to-medium color but that's too light and chalky.
2) Speaking of chalky, the old formula used to dry to a nice, dewey finish (sometimes a little too much at times, I'll be honest) but the new formulation dries to a dull, powdery finish which exaggerates my already dry nose and cheeks.
3) The old formula was more of a light, dewey foundation on me than it was a tinted moisturizer. I feel like this is way thinner with ZERO coverage. I used to use my skunk brush to blend the old formula but the new formulation just streaks across my face, like a cheap sunscreen.
4. The old formula was the ONLY moisturizer I used or needed, the new formula doesn't feel like it moisturizes at all, in fact, I felt it was rather drying.
5. The old formula stayed put ALL day for me, even when I ran outside in 100 degrees in the summertime, this stuff stayed put. Since I could barely see this one my face, I don't even know if it was staying on all day because it never looked like I had anything on, it was invisible.
I tried the new formula in both the regular and the new oil-free variant. For me, the oil-free was the worse of the two because it was way too matte, which would probably be ideal for oilier types.
The price is still $40 a tube which I never used to flinch at in the past because it was so wonderful but unfortunately, I returned both versions back to the store. The search continues for the perfect TM...

+++This is for the regular (with oil) TM. ++++
I just switched to this from LM TM. LM changed their formula and now it's just awful.
The color is SO much better than LM's. In LM, I had to mix two shades because the nude was too orange/dark and the porcelain was too light. I was okay doing that, because their product was fabulous, but since they've changed it I decided to find another TM.
I think BB is that TM. The lightest color matches my pale/medium skin exactly, which is no small feat. Colors are always too dark or orange (why do they think blondes have orange skin??). I was so surprised how this matched, I seriously don't look like I have makeup on, but at the same time my skin looks so much nicer. The color is such a good match that it looks so natural.
It's thin and blends so easily and it is not a big oil slick of glob sitting on my skin like the LM became after they changed their product. It reallly reminds me EXACTLY of the LM BEFORE they changed it, but the color is better because it's yellow based and not orange based.
I'll update if it breaks me out.

I really had to try the tinted moisturizer new formula since it had very good reviews. The color match is great, but the coverage is not there. I didn't even out my skin or cover the basic redness around the nose. I tried building coverage by layering to no avail. Unfortunately, this has to be returned.
3 out of 3 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
This is my favorite product in my makeup bag. I switch between using this and a powder foundation. I love the glow it gives me and that it looks so much more natural than liquid foundation while still giving me some coverage. I use the medium tint. I love this and I've used this for about 5 years now.

For Multiple Myeloma: After several cycles of Velcade, Revlimid and a steroid, my doctor switched me to Revlimid alone. I have had no side effects of note. The Velcade really knocked me out. Shortly after a stem cell transplant, I had a small blood clot that caused double-vision, but that resolved itself in about a month. Now I take a blood thinner (Jantoven). Two-and-a-half years after my transplant, my myeloma is extremely well-controlled, and I'm guessing that Revlimid is a big part of the reason. The main issue I have with Revlimid is the astronomical price; my insurance pays 75% of the cost. A grant from a nonprofit foundation has been a huge help in covering the out of pocket.

Review by VAja (taken for 1 to 6 months):
For Multiple Myeloma: The first 21 day cycle went really well. No side effects or not feeling well. But when I started the second cycle within the first day I was getting severely ill. I couldn't get up from bed. Dizziness, not being able to focus. My whole body was covered in not a red rash, but a blood red raised welts. I stopped the treatment per my Doctor.

The bad news: I haven't been posting much Improv Artvice lately.
The good news: it's because I've been too busy illustrating the upcoming Upright Citizens Brigade Improv Manual!!!
What's it gonna look like? Instead of the wacky typography you'd typically see here, the UCB wanted me to create visual representations of their lessons/scenarios. In a way, it's more similar to the drawings I did for Splitsider's reposting of Billy Merritt's types of improv students.
You have no idea how pumped I am to be a part of this book, no matter how small my contribution might be. It should be available soon, so GRAB A COPY!
THAT'S awesome. But seriously, I want this book please.

Australian Rugby
Wallabies and Waratahs fullback Israel Folau has been handed the ultimate honour in Australian rugby after being named the John Eales Medallist for 2014.
At Australian rugby's night of nights, the ARU celebrated and acknowledged the men and women in the Australian rugby community – fans, players, coaches, match officials and administrators – for their dedication, commitment and outstanding performance.
The 2014 ceremony was the first time performances in Super Rugby competition were incorporated into the event, while it was the first opportunity to recognise the best performers from the inaugural National Rugby Championship.
The John Eales Medallist is voted for by Wallabies players on a 3-2-1 basis after each Test. The winner is the player that has accumulated the most points over the past 12 months from the 2013 Spring Tour to the third Bledisloe Cup Test against New Zealand earlier this month.
Disgraced utility back Kurtley Beale has been fined, but will rejoin the Wallaby team at the weekend.
He will board a flight on Saturday to rejoin the Wallabies on their year-end European tour.
It followed his in-flight confrontation with former Wallabies business and logistics manager Di Patston and subsequent revelations that he sent lewd text messages to teammates about the former staffer.
A tribunal on Friday found Beale guilty of a serious violation of the Australian Rugby Union code of conduct, and handed down a AU$ 45 000 (about US$ 40 000) fine, for sending an offensive photograph to an ARU employee.
The charge related to an image Beale admitted to sending on 9 June.
Japan has beaten out Singapore as the preferred host for the 18th team in the expanded Super Rugby competition, governing body Sanzar said on Friday.
The southern hemisphere provincial competition will increase from 15 to 18 teams in 2016, with one team from South Africa and another from Argentina already awarded places.
Japan and Singapore were vying against each other for the last available spot with Japan getting the vote after a meeting of the South African, New Zealand and Australian Rugby (Sanzar) executive board.
"Compelling proposals were put forth by Japan and Singapore in what was a very competitive tender process and we thank both parties for their passion in sharing our vision to expand the competition to new fans, territories and commercial markets," Sanzar chief executive Greg Peters said in a statement.
Singapore has effectively conceded it has lost out to Japan to become the 18th Super Rugby side.
Although the South African, New Zealand and Australian Rugby (Sanzar) has not officially announced which Asian country would host the new team in an expanded competition, it has already been widely reported that Japan has won the bid ahead of Singapore.
Singapore's bidders released a statement on Thursday, seemingly acknowledging that Japan had been selected as the winner.
"Clearly Japan is a mature, established rugby market, while Singapore is new to the global rugby scene," said Eric Series, the financial backer of the proposed Singapore bid.
We have NEW SuperBru Pools for all to join!

The Barbarians completed their squad with the addition of 11 more players including the South African duo of Juan de Jongh and Sarel Pretorius.
The Barbarians are set to take on the Wallabies at Twickenham on 1 November under the guidance of Blues coach John Kirwan.
Of the 11 new players added on Tuesday, the majority (5 of them) are from New Zealand with a further 3 Argentineans and a Scot to go along with the 2 South Africans.
New Wallabies coach Michael Cheika included five debutants in his first squad unveiled on Wednesday for the End Of Year Tour in England, France, Ireland and Wales.
The 33-man Australia squad, led by 22-year-old Michael Hooper, includes three changes to the group that lost 29-28 to the All Blacks last Saturday.
The tour sees the return of injured duo Matt Toomua and Ben McCalman and the inclusion of uncapped Melbourne Rebels back-row forward Sean McMahon.
He is one of five uncapped players alongside Western Force pair Tetera Faulkner (prop) and Kyle Godwin (centre), and wingers Henry Speight (Brumbies) and Tom English (Rebels).
The Australian Rugby Union on Wednesday confirmed that Michael Cheika is the new Wallaby coach, ahead of a tough End Of Year European tour.
He has been appointed on a three-year contract, coming in the wake of the controversial departure of Ewen McKenzie as a result of the fall-out over the Kurtley Beale saga.
ARU Chief Executive Officer Bill Pulver said Michael Cheika was the outstanding candidate for the role.
"Central to our decision was selecting a world-class coach who can lead us to victory in next year's World Cup and a person who represents the game's core values," Pulver said.
Brumbies head coach Stephen Larkham turned down the opportunity to help coach the Wallabies on their End Of Year Tour.
The Rugby World Cup winning Wallabies playmaker Larkham has tipped to be the attack coach working as an assistant to Michael Cheika.
Waratahs coach Michael Cheika was confirmed as replacement Wallabies coach on Wednesday.
Larkham said that he was honoured to be considered but would prefer to concentrate on preparing for the Brumbies upcoming Super Rugby season.
Waratahs coach Michael Cheika confirmed on Monday he has been offered the Wallabies coaching job left vacant by the resignation of Ewen McKenzie, saying it was "humbling".
A smiling Cheika, dressed in a Waratahs tracksuit top and black jeans, confirmed the offer when he spoke to the media out the front of Waratahs headquarters at Moore Park. "It's a pretty humbling experience to be asked to be involved in something like that, but we'll see what happens," Cheika said.
The Australian Rugby Union revealed that Ewen McKenzie has resigned as Wallaby coach.
McKenzie announced his resignation after the Qantas Wallabies were gallant in defeat, going down 29-28 to New Zealand at Suncorp Stadium on Saturday 18 October.
Australian Rugby Union CEO Bill Pulver paid tribute to McKenzie who has led Australia in 22 Tests since starting in the role in August 2013.
"I did not ask Ewen to resign, but understand his decision. He informed me this morning of his intention to resign, regardless of tonight's result."
Wallabies (15) 28 / 29 (12) All Blacks (Final Score)
The Australian Wallabies and New Zealand All Blacks did battle in a Bledisloe Cup match at
Suncorp Stadium, Brisbane at 11:00 SA Time (19:00 AEST, 22:00 NZ Time, 09:00 GMT).

The All Blacks were given a big scare ahead of their Test against the Wallabies on Saturday.
First-choice flyhalf Beauden Barrett is under a slight injury cloud, following a training ground mishap.
The No 10 limped out of training with his left thigh iced and Colin Slade running the final few minutes of the session.
There is no indication when a call will be made on Barritt's fitness.
Round nine of the National Rugby Championships (NRC) in Australia took place earlier with the first game providing us with what was quite possibly the worst ever decision on a rugby field, and the first ever 'Own Try' in rugby.
The Sydney Stars versus North Harbour Rays clash gave Mitch Lewis a chance to bag some meat and get on the scoresheet, but he never would have guessed it would be against his own team.
In football (or soccer) own goals aren't unsual, as defenders occasionally slot the ball into the back of their own net. In rugby however, no such thing exists, because when a player grounds the ball over his own tryline, it's a 5m scrum if carried over, or a 22m drop-out if not.
All that changed in Australia a while ago however, as a bizarre call resulted in the TMO and Referee awarding what is quite possibly the first ever own try in rugby! Seriously.
All Blacks coach Steve Hansen has admitted that they are wary of a backlash from the troubled Wallabies who have lost their last two matches.
The Wallabies situation has been compounded by an off-field scandal involving star backliner Kurtley Beale and a text message scandal that saw a Wallaby back room staffer resign.
There has also been speculation in the media that Australian coach Ewen McKenzie could be replaced if the Wallabies suffer a thumping at the hands of the All Blacks.
The All Blacks want to get back on track after they lost their first Test in 23 matches when they were edged by South Africa's Springboks two weeks ago.
Hansen's All Blacks have now lost just two matches since their won the Rugby World Cup in 2011 so the pressure on Australia to win is much greater than the New Zealanders.
"When a team is under siege as they are at the moment then one of two things can happen," Hansen said.
Aaron Cruden continues to be frozen out of the All Blacks.
Steve Hansen, who recently kicked the playmaker off the tour of Argentina and South Africa because he missed a pre-departure meeting, hasn't even bothered naming him in the reserves for the test against the Wallabies in Brisbane on Saturday night.
Instead Beauden Barrett will again start at first five-eighth, while Colin Slade, who can play first-five, wing and fullback, has been listed in the substitutes.
Japan coach Eddie Jones says former Springbok coach Jake White is the ideal candidate to take over as Wallabies mentor should Ewen McKenzie be sacked.
According to the Sydney Morning Herald website, speculation is growing that McKenzie could be fired within weeks.
This comes despite the Australian Rugby Union (ARU) chief executive Bill Pulver publicly backing McKenzie as the man to take the Wallabies to next year's World Cup in England and Wales.
Springbok flyhalf Marnitz Boshoff is set to join the Barbarians when they take on the Wallabies at Twickenham on 1 November.
Boshoff joins a list of New Zelanders who were added to the squad on Monday along side a large South African contingent that were added earlier in the month.
All Blacks Adam Thomson, Francis Saili and Frank Halai have all been added to the squad to facing Australia and Leicester Tigers in November.
Mercurial flyhalf Quade Cooper was among the reserves named on Tuesday for the embattled Wallabies with Adam Ashley-Cooper chosen for his 100th Test against the All Blacks in this weekend's Bledisloe Cup clash.
Under-fire coach Ewen McKenzie made two changes to his starting line-up with Christian Leali'ifano at inside centre and Rob Simmons returning at lock for a team that lost 21-17 to Argentina on 3 October.
Leali'ifano replaces the injured Matt Toomua while Simmons displaces James Horwill from the beaten side in Mendoza.
Cooper has not played for Australia this year after suffering a shoulder injury in May, when he lost his place to Bernard Foley.
The Australian Rugby Union is rejecting reports it is preparing to replace Ewen McKenzie as Wallabies coach.
Australian media say talks have taken place between senior union officials and McKenzie's most-likely successor, New South Wales Waratahs coach Michael Cheika.
But in a statement late Monday ARU Chief Executive Bill Pulver said: "the ARU has not had any conversations with any other coaches regarding the Wallabies coaching position.
"Ewen [McKenzie] is coaching the team [against the All Blacks] this weekend and next Friday he will board the plane with the team for the November Tests tour [to Britain] and is contracted to Australian Rugby to lead the Wallabies to next year's Rugby World Cup."
Before we start treating an All Blacks victory in Brisbane as a fait accompli its worth considering a few things.
It is true that the Wallabies are in a state of disarray, and must be vulnerable.
Their legacy of player power has come back to bite them, and it is extraordinary that their captain should be publically defending a repeat offending player ahead of the team unit, and by extension the coach.
Ewen McKenzie has tried to take a firm line in the past, but despite his strong actions on the end of year tour last year has been unable to instil a sense of no nonsense in the team.
Australia will play New Zealand twice in a week as part of their preparation for the 2015 Rugby World Cup.
The draw for the condensed 2015 Rugby Championship sees champions New Zealand host Argentina in Christchurch but travelling to South Africa and Australia.
Wallabies Business Manager Di Patston has left the Australian Rugby Union, after resigning late on Friday – because of stress related to recent events.
Patston clashed with star back Kurtley Beale and sparked a major controversy over team management.
ARU Chief Executive Bill Pulver said Patston's departure did not impact on plans for Beale to face a Code of Conduct Tribunal in relation to the distribution of what the ARU considers offensive text messages and images.
Wallabies captain Michael Hooper has said on Sunday Kurtley Beale should not be sacked and has called for a squad honesty session to dispel talk of team disunity under coach Ewen McKenzie.
Hooper insisted the "team is tight" and backed the besieged McKenzie, who has become embroiled in the fallout of Beale's messy spat with former team business manager Di Patston.
Beale was suspended from last week's Argentina game in Mendoza over a mid-flight argument with Patston, and was later barred from selection indefinitely after the emergence of "deeply offensive text messages" about Patston.
The Australian Rugby Union said Patston had resigned from her position late on Friday, citing stress relating to the recent events.
Versatile Wallabies back Adam Ashley-Cooper will quit Australia after next year's World Cup to play club rugby in Europe, the 99 times capped international has said on Sunday.
The 30-year-old, who is set to become only the sixth Australian to win 100 caps, said he would like to link up with former Wallabies team mate Matt Giteau at big-spending European champions Toulon in France.
"I'm certainly scoping out the areas of Toulon but there are a few other clubs that are interested," Ashley-Cooper said on Sunday.
Quade Cooper is set to make his return to Test rugby after being named in the Wallabies' 32-man squad for next week's third Bledisloe Cup match against New Zealand at Suncorp Stadium.
Cooper suffered a serious shoulder injury back in May but has shown good form in the NRC tournament for Brisbane City.
The talented five-eighth is likely to come off the bench with Bernard Foley to start, however Cooper's return for the clash at Suncorp Stadium on October 18 is timely given the suspension of Kurtley Beale and injuries to several other inside backs.
The International Rugby Board has announced the match official appointments for upcoming November internationals.
Appointments were made by the IRB Match Official Selection Committee at its recent meeting in Dublin and follow a detailed review of recent performances during the June international window, The Rugby Championship and other matches.
South Africa's Craig Joubert will kick off a busy month of Tests as teams and officials begin the countdown to Rugby World Cup 2015, when he takes charge of the New Zealand v USA fixture at Soldier Field in Chicago on November 1.
Steve Walsh will be the man in the middle for England's match with the Springboks and Nigel Owens will officiate at Stade de France when Les Bleus take on Australia, as well as refereeing New Zealand's visit to Twickenham. Wayne Barnes has been appointed to Wales v New Zealand in Cardiff, while Ireland v Australia in Dublin will be refereed by Glen Jackson. Jérôme Garces will be in charge when the Wallabies take on England and will be in Padova on November 22 to referee Italy v South Africa.
The race to become the 18th Super Rugby franchise in 2016 took an intriguing twist on Wednesday.
According to media reports Japan and Singapore, the contestants in the two-horse race, are going to put their names in the same hat and share the games.
If the reports, quoting various sources, are to be believed, Japan have stolen the march on rival Singapore – but only because they offered to host matches in Singapore.
This, they believe, will negate concerns from South Africa about additional travel times.
Troubled Wallaby Kurtley Beale faces new allegations of having breached the players' code of conduct.
It is almost certain the latest revelations will result in Beale not being offered a new contract by the Australian Rugby Union.
It was revealed by ARU the that a new disciplinary allegation involving the utility back, Beale, will be referred to a tribunal.
Beale was dropped for the last Rugby Championship Test against Argentina last Saturday, after an ugly in-flight public spat with members of the team management.
ARU Chief Executive Bill Pulver said Thursday that while investigating the incident, during the flight from Johannesburg to Sao Paulo, officials were made aware of another matter involving Beale and text messages he sent in June.
The ARU said Beale will not be considered for Australian selection until the tribunal concludes.
This weekend saw the finale of The Rugby Championship and we saw two very contrasting games. The All Blacks won the trophy… again. Deservedly.
The Pumas won their first ever fixture in this tournament, a historical moment and one they will never forget… I certainly won't, but the highlight had to be the bromance in the coaches box after the game where their Latin exuberance, warmth and hot blooded nature got the better of some of them… Put it this way, there was lots of lovin!!
During the wee hours of Sunday morning SA Time the 2014 edition of The Rugby Championship came to and end with a dramatic first victory for Argentina over Australia.
Those who stayed up for the match might have been a tad disappointed with the fare dished up, unless they were into one penalty after the other type rugby.
What an absolute shambles. A rudderless and distracted Wallabies outfit got what they deserved by suffering the embarrassment of being Argentina's first victim in The Rugby Championship.
Wallabies coach Ewen McKenzie's position is now under serious question after the team suffered one of its most inexplicable losses of recent times at the end of a road tour from hell that publicly exposed the division within the Australian team camp.
Full marks to Argentina for taking advantage of a sidetracked opposition, who made it so much easier for them by being ill-disciplined, disorganised, dispirited and clearly lacking on-field leaders.
In the end, the most entertaining moment of the Australian performance was singer Marcelo Zelada's mangled version of Advance Australia Fair before kickoff, which included snatches of English, Spanish, gibberish and even a bit of humming.
Bernard Foley has refused to blame laser beams for the Wallabies shambolic capitulation to the Pumas on Saturday but conceded it would be helpful if match officials granted kickers a second shot at goal when the potentially harmful practice takes place.
Foley battled green laser beams on his face for the entire match and missed two crucial kicks when Australia trailed Argentina 18-17 towards the end of the Test.
One kick was from 49 metres out – beyond the range of even Foley, the Waratahs' new ice man after his title-winning kick two months ago – but the second, in the 70th minute, was inside the 22-metre zone and just to the left of the posts.
Argentinian tenor Marcelo Zalada managed to cock up the words of Advance Australia fair, but at least, unlike Ras Dumisane, he still managed to make it sound decent.
In case anyone forgot what Ras did to Nkosi, have a listen.
Los Pumas (8) 21 / 17 (14) Wallabies (Final Score)
The Argentinian Pumas and Australian Wallabies did battle in The Rugby Championship at
Estadio Malvinas Argentinas, Mendoza at 00:40 Sunday SA Time (22.40 GMT, 19:40 ARG Time, 09:40 Sunday AEST).
This was the live match discussion Article.
The match was broadcast LIVE on SuperSport 1 & CSN on TV in SA.

Great LezBritain: "Lip Service" Recap – Episode Two
Cat is practicing what to say to DS Murray in the toiler mirror when Jay opens thedoor, despairingly.
He comes into the ladies', snatches the phone from her, and dials DS Murray's number. There's no going back and Cat starts to talk to her newly reacquainted lady friend.
Outside the lawyer's office, Frankie approaches a man that she previously spotted doing some handy-man jobs inside. She suggests to him that she would be extremely grateful in an "I will s–k you off" way, if he could help her find out the name and address where her photos were sent.
Tess is told to go pick up the show's latest celebrity guest from the airport. After the cake incident and the lack of caffeine in his veins, the producer is stressed out and threatens to sack Tess if she messes this up.
At the airport, the pressure is on and Tess looks disorientated. This doesn't bode well for Tess' running career.
Frankie is alone in a cafe waiting for her Mr. Fix-It. She tries to while away the time by phoning Cat but is greeted by her answer phone.
Lee: They do a lovely tuna melt in that café.
Sarah: I don't think anyone else knows about this tuna melt. as only Frankie seems to be in it.
Lee: The service is slow. It probably puts people off.
When Fix-It arrives, he proves to deserve the name we've given him because he has indeed managed to steal the address that Frankie needs, right out from under the lawyer's nose. Let's not discuss the improbability of this and, instead, focus on the fact that Frankie's baby photos were sent to an Annie Cawthorne, who lives in a nasty estate in the south of Glasgow.
Fix-It asks why she needs the details and she tells him the generic "boring family stuff." But obviously, Fix-It wants to know more – post-coitally. Frankie blows him off (metaphorically); not at all bothered that she's led him on.
Fix-It: Bitch.
Frankie: Tell me something I don't know.
Sarah: Okay. You might want to work on that Frankie love.
Lee: And Fix-It should learn to get "paid" before revealing the stolen information next time.
Sarah: Classic schoolboy error.

How the Web Became Our 'External Brain,' and What It Means for Our Kids

In 2014 the next billion will access the mobile internet—at $20 a handset
For the first time ever, in 2013 smartphones outsold feature phones, and the dean of Silicon Valley tech investing, Marc Andreessen, says that within three years you simply won't be able to buy a non-smartphone. But what proportion of phones in use right now are smartphones?
Less than half, is the answer, and it will be that way for at least 2-3 more years. In November 2013, Ericsson, the venerable Swedish maker of the infrastructure that supports cell phone networks, released a report suggesting we won't exceed 3.5 billion smartphone subscriptions until 2016. The total number of mobile subscriptions, however, will exceed 7 billion by 2014, according to the International Telecommunications Union.

The Oakland Athletics have officially announced that the Opening Night game versus the Cleveland Indians on March 31st is a sellout. That was expected, seeing as how it was also a sellout last season. The Sellout crowd at the Oakland Coliseum provides an environment that the Cleveland Indians will find hard to play in.
If you have ever been fortunate enough to attend a sellout opening night at the O.co Coliseum you know how electric it is. It is comparable to a playoff game. You've got the best fans in baseball, all hungry for some Oakland A's baseball. It's been months without regular season baseball, the offseason was horrible, and these fans are going to be as loud as they were in game 5 of the ALDS.
A sellout crowd at the O.co is a threat to other teams. Last year some of the players from the Detroit Tigers were saying how loud it is there and how hard it is to hear their team mates. With Sonny Gray on the mound, the offense as hot as it is, and the fans to be as loud as they are, this season better start off with a win. A win that will carry momentum and keep the Athletics going strong despite losing Jarrod Parker and A.J. Griffin as well as Ryan Cook and Craig Gentry for about a week or two.
This team was built to win, even with injuries. And our fans are only going to help them win even more. If you are going to Opening Night in the 31st, scream and yell and cheer until you lose your voice. And when you lose your voice, make sure to keep on clapping and waving those golden rally towels.

Lance Berkman DH TEX Jan 10 '13
Rangers manager Ron Washington said Thursday that he plans to bat Lance Berkman third during the upcoming season.
It's not surprising, as Berkman would slide into the spot vacated by Josh Hamilton, following Elvis Andrus and preceding Adrian Beltre. Obviously, that's not a bad spot to be in. "Big Puma" is likely in line for a bounce-back season if he can manage to stay healthy.

The EPA-certified technicians at Green Air HVAC help homeowners maintain all aspects of their home's heating and cooling, improving the interior air quality while eliminating pollutants such as mites, dust, and bacteria. The staff can work from the ground up, installing complete heating and cooling systems that match the needs and size accommodations of a new home, or conduct a detailed audit of existing systems to spot potential inefficiencies. In a continued effort to rein in energy costs, technicians can also clean air ducts and dryer vents or install remote systems that control the home's temperature through an iPhone app instead of an outdated mainframe.
B&H Carpet Cleaning's insured technicians adjust their cleaning techniques to suit the type of carpet they're working with. Hot water extraction, shampoo cleaning, and dry scouring are just a few of their environmentally friendly methods. They also clean delicate upholstery, oriental rugs, and draperies.
People can't control the weather outside, but they can control the weather inside, as long as their HVAC system works properly. Thankfully, Papa Duct's technicians are well trained to optimize home heating and air-conditioning systems. During signature air-duct cleaning sessions, their high-pressure vacuums suck dust from vents, and supply lines and main return lines are brushed to loosen any remaining debris. The team also inspects systems for performance issues and repairs them quickly and efficiently.
It may seem unlikely, but the air inside homes is often more polluted than the air outside. That?s because homes cycle air, which can contain pollen, dust, and dander, through HVAC systems until somebody finally breathes it. The team of technicians at Crystal Clean applies 18 years of experience to help keep indoor atmospheres clear of particulate offenders by scouring air ducts, vents, and ducts.
