These Damned, Beloved Cell Phones
December 24, 2015
Although I have no data to back me up, I have to assume that the postcard industry is in complete shambles. In an age where we can take a picture of something on the spot, then immediately send it to any individual or post it on social media for the entire world to see, how many people are actually going to the trouble of picking out, purchasing, and mailing a postcard? It's a shame, really, as getting a postcard from someone traveling in a far off destination used to seem so cool. I'm as guilty as anyone, however.
These damned, beloved cell phones of ours are really screwing things up while they make life so very convenient. We are always reachable, and are constantly making sure we haven't missed a text, notification, or email (no one really wants an actual phone call anymore). It wasn't that long ago that I would happily take my landline (gasp) phone off the hook to avoid being bothered. Now my cell phone is like a lifeline.
We waste, er spend, hours a day on social media looking at pictures of "friends'" (although we may have never actually met) kids doing "cute" things (you know, like sitting, standing or walking), narcissistic selfies, and annoying videos of cats. The same silly memes are seen hundreds of times a week, while the amazingly clever things I post never seem to gain any traction…alas.
Between the photos of birthday parties, selfies at concerts, vids of cats jumping three feet high for a fake mouse, and memes with the Dos Equis dude, our nation is divided by political posts. These are commonly lies or extreme exaggerations, which are presented as facts (both sides are terribly guilty of this). I should mention there is plenty of good news posted, too, though controversial and judgmental posts are apparently more interesting. Despite it all, I can't seem to turn away or stop posting things, myself.
My twelve year old son is already addicted to his phone — as are most of his friends. He is on Facebook, Twitter, and (mostly) Instagram. My wife and I resisted letting him get accounts on these for a couple of years before giving in to his pleas. Snapchat is still off the table, although he asks us almost daily about letting him join. My kid spends a good part of each night FaceTiming with his girlfriend. They don't say much, but just watch each other as they go about their lives. It's somewhere between funny and disturbing. The most effective punishment we have for my son is to take his phone away. If we do this for any length of time, he not only shapes up because he wants it back, but he seems genuinely happier and is certainly more involved with our family. I don't think this is any coincidence.
It's probably too late for the current generations, but I give our species enough credit to expect that there will be a paradigm shift at some point where people will realize that while they are constantly looking down at their devices (at some point the term "phone" will surely fall out of favor), they are missing far too much of their short lives. Maybe this will be some future generation that wants to be better parents than they had growing up. Perhaps it will be sooner than later?
In the meantime, I hope everyone has purchased the latest and greatest phone, and that you will continue texting or emailing instead of calling me, letting us all know about your kids' milestones and achievements, and posting selfies with famous landmarks when traveling. Let me ask just one favor: drop me a postcard sometime (you can use your phone to find my address). I'll try to send some too.
The New British Invasion, via Netflix
December 22, 2015
I don't watch much television. I think most of it is complete rubbish, and I would typically rather be doing something that is more productive or creatively stimulating. I will admit, however, that I do enjoy a bit of telly before turning in for the night. For the past few months my wife and I have been almost exclusively watching British shows on Netflix, and I must say that I'm quite impressed by what is being produced across the pond — and I'm very keen to see more. Maybe we are just getting access to the best of the best here Stateside, and in reality the broadcasts over there are just as shoddy as here in the US. However, so far the programs I've seen have been the dog's bollocks. My wife agrees.
I'm specifically talking about shows like Broadchurch, The Fall, River, The Office (yes, our version is a ripoff), Top of the Lake, Hinterland, and The Detectorists. Depending on the genre, these programs might seem too grisly or quirky (or both) for mainstream American viewing. For example, it isn't likely that an entire season of a Yankee program would revolve around the murder of a young boy who ends up being killed by his best friend's dad — who is also in love with him (bugger, sorry if I ruined the incredibly shocking surprise ending, mates). Similarly, I don't think many Hollywood producers would jump at the chance to film a comedy based on the strange life of two blokes who faff about treasure hunting with metal detectors. Too bad, because we are missing out on some very odd, suspenseful, sad, harsh, and/or bloody hilarious content.
Not only are the plots great, but the characters are simply brilliant. Flawed in many ways, both physically and emotionally, they are very easy to relate to. The male actors are as likely to be short, bald and homely as tall, dark and handsome. Females are not gormless supermodels trying their best to utter their lines, but instead may be a bit pale and pudgy (yet many of them are still quite shaggable). Most characters have a complex depth that goes far beyond their surfaces. Their lives are far from tickety-boo, and many seem downright knackered and gutted. Everything may be balls-up, yet they trudge on anyway. You know, much like real life.
What's really strange and amusing to me is that I now find myself thinking in British vernacular quite often. In fact, it is almost becoming second nature. I'm sure I drop plenty of clangers, but I feel like I'm becoming fairly ace, and it's a brill way to entertain myself. Of course, I would never speak this way out loud, as I'm sure I would look like a complete tosser (I should probably inform readers that a "tosser" is the equivalent of a wanker or knob).
Anyway, I didn't mean to get off topic. I'm sure there are plenty of British shows that are complete pants, but I've been right chuffed to bits with the programs I've seen so far. Give them a dekko and see what you think. You might have a bit of trouble with the accent at first, but it will soon be a doddle to understand. If these don't end up being your cup of tea, perhaps they will be a great way to nod off. So, Bob's your uncle. Cheers.

hey ^^ wanted to make some suggestions forgotten scrolls.In my opinion, the lower epics (QA, orfen & core) should drop 1 forgotten scroll ALWAYS. Right now you either donate for forgotten scrolls or you are in some massive disadvantage with some of the skills like Blessing of Eva, Anti Magic Armor, Pain of shillen, etc etc. This lower epics should reward people who do them. They are not dropping the epics 100% so at least give the people some reward for being able to take down this epics. In my opinion it should be something like 100% dropping 1 of all the forgotten scrolls, and then 50% to drop one more FS. Right now if the epic jewl doesn't drop, its like you wasted all this time for pvp/killing the epic and in the end u only get out losing shots.
yeah, this server is so hard. Voting to add all fs to Donny! ahh they are already there for 50 coins! if only there was some good way to farm items for which you can make easy coins. ahh kurwa there are reward coins. last thing that can save you is beta npc with all stuff, sadly I disappoint you, wrong server, previous one was your best try.

|A sketch from How Time Flies.
Another leap-day dream would be that words have colors, form, texture and the immediate deep impact that painted images do. Imagination and words falter when it comes to re-conceiving time. Perhaps the problem is the human heartbeat, temporal bodies living eternal experiences.
Maybe this February 29th, I'll meet a raven who has stolen a pocket watch, and I can barter something precious to hitch a ride and see time from a different angle.
Nevertheless, we are running out of time to vote for Marcus's label, so take a couple heartbeats to do this and make a toast to a day that happens every once in a while.
Here is Marcus's lovely leap-day dream:
I dream of a beach worthy wheelchair and endless healthy years to enjoy.
I dream of world peas.
I am living a dream!
What's yours? Feel free to add it below and extend this day's feeling of timelessness as long as possible.

UNCERTAINTY caused by Brexit over Scotland's farming subsidies and fishing quotas took a worrying turn for the worse yesterday.
It was known that Scotland's farmers and fishers face an uncertain future after Brexit, but reports released in Edinburgh and Brussels yesterday will only add to the anxiety of communities and businesses across Scotland.
On agriculture, one of Scotland's most respected constitutional experts, Professor Michael Keating, politics professor at both Aberdeen and Edinburgh universities and the director of the Centre on Constitutional Change, yesterday published a new study on how agriculture in Scotland, Northern Ireland and Wales will be affected by Brexit.
His concerns are on how competencies in agriculture will be repatriated — agriculture is a devolved matter — and his conclusions are deeply worrying for Scotland's farmers who depend on Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) subsidies to a much greater extent than English farmers.
Also yesterday, reports emerged in Brussels that the European Union is to refuse to negotiate on fishing quotas during the likely two-year transition period before any trading deals — if they can be negotiated prior to Brexit in March, 2019 — come fully into force.
On agriculture, Keating, investigated the challenges presented by UK policymaking being heavily influenced by the needs of agriculture in England, which are quite different from those in the devolved territories. In the light of this, Keating suggests, the question of subsidies after 2022 needs to be clarified by ministers.
Keating said: "Currently, agriculture is financed through the Common Agricultural Policy but the UK Government has guaranteed continuing support only up to the end of the current Parliament in 2022.
"After that, direct payments to farmers in England will be phased out.
"Policy for England, however, may not suit conditions in the devolved nations. Around half of farm incomes in England come from the CAP but in Scotland it is three quarters, in Wales it is 80 per cent and in Northern Ireland 87 per cent.
"In part this is caused by 85 per cent of farm land in Scotland being in 'areas of natural constraint' such as hill farms, in Wales this is 81 per cent and 70 per cent in Northern Ireland, compared with only 17 per cent of farm land in England."
Michael Gove, the minister responsible for agriculture in England, has suggested capping payments for the wealthiest farmers after leaving the CAP. Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland already do this within the CAP.
Keating said: "This flexibility has allowed the devolved governments to tailor agricultural policy to local needs, balancing economic with social, environmental and cultural conditions. We still do not know how much flexibility they will have after Brexit.
"The EU Withdrawal Bill currently before Parliament will take back devolved agricultural competences to Westminster, allowing some of them to be 'released' according to the needs of the Brexit settlement. Already there are discussions about what powers will be retained and what devolved. The danger is that a piecemeal approach will make it more difficult for Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland to forge coherent agricultural and rural development policies tailored to their own conditions."
Meanwhile, plans to take back control of fishing quotas during any post-Brexit transition period, look likely to be dead in the water.
According to reports, Brussels is of the view that the UK will have to remain governed by the EU's common fisheries policy (CFP).
UK Environment Secretary and Brexiteer Michael Gove has previously said this would not be the case.
Gerard van Balsfoort, the chair of the European Fisheries Alliance, the group lobbying on behalf of EU fishermen in Brexit negotiations, said he was confident the UK would not be successful in persuading the 27 member states to change their position over the coming months.
Bertie Armstrong, chief executive of the Scottish Fishing Federation, said it would be "absolutely unacceptable" for the UK to be kept in the CFP framework over a two-year transition period.
"The world will change on March 29. We will be out of CFP, the UK becomes a coastal state and will have complete sovereignty over who has access to our waters," he said.
"Assumption of control does not mean complete rejection of negotiation, and a nine-month bridge covering the remainder of 2018 would be in order."
Nothing changing for two years would be unacceptable, he added.

- Netflix decides to do away with that friends feature that nobody used.
Maybe this would have worked better had they tried to incorporate into - I don't know, a popular social network perhaps? Seems like the right place where friends would want to exchange information about the types of movies they happen to be renting at the time. Maybe that's just me.

The test version showed separate viewing histories and recommendations for each profile. Users are able to fine-tune their profile by telling Netflix about their movie preferences, and profiles for kids under 12 are automatically based on the service's Just for Kids UI. In addition, parents are able to restrict the type of content displayed on a kids profile based on movie ratings.

- Push Pop Press is the latest acquisition in Facebook's growing design talent roster.
Mike Matas, one of the co-founders of Push Pop Press, is one of the designers behind some of the most familiar iPhone and iPad user interfaces that you've come to know and love. This kind of talent acquisition doesn't come along simply to tweak the look of an iPhone app. They must be working on something big. On a sadder note, Push Pop Press has announced that they have abandoned their planned publishing platform. However, their one offering is still available in the App Store - search for Al Gore's 'Our World'.

- More people returned Logitech's Google TV box than actually purchased it in the first quarter.
Ouch, with news this bad it can only mean one thing... price drop! If you are so bold to purchase one of these boxes you'll only be paying $99 bucks as opposed to the $249 you would have originally had to spend. You'll learn to love the clunky interface and all it's complicated intricacies, that is unless your cable company hasn't blocked you from using it. Good luck!

- Netflix may get a small dose of animated movies via new streaming deal with DreamWorks Animation.
According to Bloomberg News, the deal would kick in after the pay TV agreement with HBO expires, but a source tells THR that HBO has offered to end DWA's output deal two years early because HBO recently signed a pact with Summit Entertainment that gives the pay cabler 10-12 live action films a year versus the two animated films a year that DWA offers. Plus, animated fare is more common now that HBO content partners Warner Bros., Fox and Universal are all producing those films.

- Netflix pulls the curtain back on separate plan changes for both streaming and DVDs by mail.
...we didn't anticipate offering DVD only plans. Since then we have realized that there is still a very large continuing demand for DVDs both from our existing members as well as non-members. Given the long life we think DVDs by mail will have, treating DVDs as a $2 add on to our unlimited streaming plan neither makes great financial sense nor satisfies people who just want DVDs.

My latest estimate tonight shows approximately 9.5 million users. This suggests that 2.2 million people have joined Google+ in the past 32-34 hours. I project that Google will easily pass 10 million users tomorrow and could reach 20 million user by this coming weekend if they keep the Invite Button available. As one G+ user put it, it is easy to underestimate the power of exponential growth.

It only means something if you have a warm place to lay your head
It only means something if you are no longer numb
It only means something if there is someone
It only means something if that someone means something
It only means something if you're not holding a grudge
It only means something if you can swallow your pride
It only means something if you see you're not the only one who's been hurt
It only means something if you can stop pointing fingers
It only means something if you can finish a sentence without "Yeah... BUT"
It only means something if you don't have to be right

wmi.dll Error Fix
What is a DLL?
DLL (Dynamic Link Library) files contain computer code and resources that can be used by multiple programs at the same time. This uses less system memory and helps your computer system run more efficiently. DLL files give program developers the ability to reuse code to add features to several programs without the need to write new code for each program.
There are many programs that require DLL files to function properly so when one of them is damaged or missing it will cause program crashes and poor system performance.
What is wmi.dll?
The file wmi.dll is a module responsible for the implementation of the data collection (DC) and data portability (DP) functionalities of the Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI). WMI with file wmi.dll is pre-installed in Windows 2000, Windows ME, Windows Server 2003, Windows XP, and Windows Vista.
The objective of Windows Management Instrumentation is to provide a non-propriety set of environment-independent designs that will let management information be shared between management applications. It is a collection of extensions to the Windows Driver Model that provides an operating system interface through which instrumented components give notification and information. It allows scripting language such as Windows Powershell and VBScript to control Microsoft Windows servers and personal computers (PCs) remotely or locally.
The wmi.dll file has several functions relevant to traces. The wmi.dll file's OpenTrace function opens a trace for processing either in real time or from a log file. Its StartTrace function registers and starts an event tracing session.
It also flushes, queries, updates, or stops the specified event tracing session with its ControlTrace function.
The wmi.dll module also can create a unique transaction identifier with its CreateTraceInstanceId function. Also it has an EnableTrace function that enables or disables the specified event trace provider. The ProcessTrace function allows the wmi.dll module to deliver events from one or more event tracing sessions to the consumer.
The wmi.dll file retrieves the severity level, enabled flags, and the handling of the event tracing session with its GetTraceEnableLevel, GetTraceEnableFlags, and GetTraceLoggerHandle functions.
Other functions of the wmi.dll file are WmiOpenBlock, WmiCloseBlock, WmiExecuteMethod, and WmiOpenBlock.
Suggested fix if you are experiencing wmi.dll error messages:
DLL files are important parts of your operating system and many programs require them to function. When these files become damaged or are missing it causes poor system performance and system crashes. To fix these problems the user must replace the damaged file with a valid working version. If a working version cannot be found the user may perform a reinstallation of their operating system.
Wmi.dll is created by:
Microsoft Corporation

February 26, 2018 | By Panagiotis Kintis
IISP Analyst Panagiotis Kintis: "Last month, Stone Tillotson wrote an article discussing how cybercriminals are leaving Bitcoin in an attempt to adopt the more private Monero currency. At the same time, "cryptojacking" or "coinjacking" attacks (which refer to an attempt by a website to use a visitor's computer to mine cryptocurrency) have been on the rise. In fact, there have been several websites, which usually served controversial content, that have been found to exhibit such behavior. What makes the attack with Browseraloud particularly interesting is the attackers' decision to limit themselves to cryptocurrency mining. The attack resembles cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks, which give the attacker the power to do virtually anything to the user's browser. In XSS attacks, a benign website is forced to provide a malicious piece of code that is run on the client side. XSS attacks have been used to deliver malware, steal users' private data, and deploy botnets. Surprisingly, this time, the attackers appear to have deviated from well-known practices and only exploit clients for Monero mining.
The websites affected by the attack -- through the Browseraloud plugin -- included the City University of New York, Indiana's government website (in.gov), United States Courts (uscourts.gov), Washington's Metropolitan Area Transit Authority (wmata.com), the National Health Service in the UK (nhs.uk), and many other popular destinations. A list of more than 4,000 websites that include the Browseraloud plugin can be found here. The very high popularity of the affected websites shows that the impact and the magnitude of the attack was significant.
One might think, "So what if they used my computer to harvest some coins?" Unfortunately, when government and critical infrastructure websites are being weaponized by adversaries, mining cryptocurrency can only be the beginning. The discussion would have been much different if the websites were deploying new ransomware; then, it would have been everywhere in the news. Could this be a new not-so-invasive attack that can still fund illicit activities but stay under the "mainstream" radar? They most definitely will not use the money to fund education and schools.
In any case, using the Internet nowadays can be troublesome with new headaches from attacks such as this. Users can protect themselves by utilizing browser extensions and plugins that stop scripts. For myself, I use AdBlock (with the "Cryptocurrency (Bitcoin) Mining Protection List" filter on), JS Blocker, and uBlock in Safari. In Chrome, I have AdBlock and ScriptSafe installed. My Firefox has AdBlock and Policy Control running. My suggestion is to use something similar to keep adversaries away from your computers.
It used to be that 'shady' websites might be the ones that cause harm. Now, we see that the adversaries are brave enough to compromise some of the most trusted websites online. We are living in an era where users are actively trained to not click links they do not know or open email they did not expect. However, third party libraries, plugins, and resources can be as harmful. Even worse, visitors are not aware of a website's dependencies and cannot predict the outcome when they point their browser to a trusted website. We, as a security community, should identify means to create a more robust trust model, through which verification and validation will be automatic, correct, and transparent to the end user."

This is the only one that lets you keep separate track of the inventory of complete cases vs individual pieces from open cases (though not the easiest method to use).
1) You'll create two Item Records, one for whole cases and one for individual pieces. We'll use "piece" for the smallest unit you sell. If the product comes in "packs" containing multiple actual pieces (such as a pack of 6 sparklers) but you only sell whole packs, then your "piece" would be the pack. If you sometimes break open the pack and sell the individual pieces (for example, one sparkler), then you can extend this approach to three Item Records, using kit items with different quantities for the pack and the case.
2) The Item Record for a piece, say XYZ, is a normal item with Inventory Tracking On and the appropriate price, cost, and UPC Code for one piece. For convenience, you can change the unit from "each" to "case" and put in the number of pieces (or packs, if a pack is your sellable "piece") as your Case Size; then you can put in the Case Cost as the Standard Cost without having to compute the individual piece cost yourself.
3) For the case Item Record, use a related name such as XYZ-CASE. Set Inventory Kit to Yes and turn Inventory Tracking back On. The single kit component will be XYZ with the Case Size as the QTY. (This is the number of sellable pieces per case.) You'll probably want to set "Show?" to No in the Kit Details.
4) The Standard Cost for XYZ-CASE will automatically be set from the Cost for XYZ times the Case Size. Set the Retail Price for XYZ-CASE as desired. (If you want to automatically be the XYZ Price times the Case Size, set its Pricing Model to "Use List Price (MSRP) with Specific Cost". If the Case has a separate UPC code from the piece or pack, put it in here. Otherwise, leave it blank and print an Artisan price tag for each case, so you can use the Artisan bar code.
5) Order and Receive by the case, using item XYZ-CASE. If you need to change the Standard Cost (as opposed to a special cost for a particular purchase), you'll have to do it in the piece item, XYZ.
6) When you break down a case into individual pieces for sale, go to the XYZ-CASE record and reduce the Qty On Hand by the number of *cases* opened. Save the record and choose "Kit Broken Down into Components" as the reason. This will subtract inventory from the Case record and add the correct number of units to the Piece record.
7) If you ever reassemble pieces back into a whole case, then reverse step 6 by *increasing* the QOH for the Case record (by the number of cases) and selecting "Kit Built from Components" as the reason.
8) Ring up sales by using the appropriate bar code or manually entering XYZ or XYZ-CASE, and inventory will be subtracted from the appropriate Item Record in pieces or cases, respectively.

This is part of an ongoing series of regional Shakespeare coverage. It's Tori here with the latest in Shakespeare news from Toronto.
The 2016 Toronto Fringe Festival runs from June 29- July 10th.. The Fringe will be a Shakespeare lovers dream this year because the festival is hosting 8 Shakespeare/ Shakespeare related shows. I reached out to Shakespeare Bash'd who after four incredible seasons at the Fringe is getting ready for their fifth and final year at the festival. Bash'd's Artistic Producer, co-founder, and director of this production, Julia Nish-Lapidus, has assembled a cast of past Bash'd cast members to bid the Fringe farewell in true Bash'd style, drunken, hilariously, and creatively, with an innovative production of The Comedy of Errors where each set of twins will be played by the same actor! How will this work you may ask? I'm just as curious as you! Find out some of the details of what to expect to below and make sure to buy tickets to what is sure to be an incredible show!
Julia: really excited to officially be at the helm for this show. As Artistic Producer for the company, I've had an active role in the planning and execution of each of our past shows, but it feel good (and like it's about time) that I take on a show myself and I think our final Fringe show is the perfect one. I'm happy to get to work with this amazing team and bring it to life.
T: What has been your directorial approach and how does it differ from previous BASH'd directors?
J: I think all the directors who work with our company have a lot in common in terms of their approach, and I certainly follow suit. We all like to start from the text, making sure everyone understands what they're saying and mining it for every clue Shakespeare has left for us. And this show will certainly have the usual BASH'd energy and pace that audiences have come to expect from us. The Comedy of Errors gives the opportunity for lots of physical comedy and that's something that I've had a lot of fun exploring. I've always loved clown; that's the style of comedy a lot of my work as an actor has come out of. I think this show is really well suited to that type of comedy: connecting with the audience, sharing and bringing them into the character's feelings as chaos ensues.
T: BASH'd started out at the 2012 Fringe Festival, how do you feel the company has matured since that first show? How does it feel to be saying goodbye to the Fringe Festival?
J: When we first started at the Fringe, doing Shakespeare in a bar, a lot of people thought we were nuts. We heard that the Fringe wasn't the right venue for Shakespeare, and a bar seemed crazy. That first summer, we had no idea what to expect and were shocked to find sold-out crowds loving what we were doing. We discovered that there is an audience for this type of energetic, bare-bones, accessible Shakespeare. Now, in addition to doing the Fringe for the last four years, we also have a successful season outside of the festival. We've been able to explore different types of plays (dramas, histories, and contemporaries of the Bard) and we've really solidified what it is we do as a company. We know our style, what works in a bar, and how to engage an audience in that setting. We've also had the time to nurture relationships with lots of incredible artists, which has inspired a lot of our work.
Saying goodbye to the Fringe is certainly sad. It's where we started out, where we learned, and we have endless fond memories of our time at the Victory Café. But all good things must come to an end. With Honest Ed's being torn down and the Fringe tent needing to find a new home after this summer, this seemed like a logical year to bid farewell. Five years is quite incredible at the fringe and we can't wait to see how we can continue to grow as a company. But you can bet we'll be regular audience members at the Fringe next year. That tent (wherever it may be) will always be a highlight of our summer.
T: You've just announced what is sure to be another fantastic season, what are you most excited about? What does the next chapter of BASH'd entail?
J: This season is going to be a lot of fun. After the success of our staged-reading of Marlowe's Edward II last year, I'm excited that we're continuing the staged-reading series with another play of Shakespeare's contemporaries: The Changeling. The staged-readings really take us back to the roots of how we started as a company and it's thrilling to get to mine the text with a group of performers. Last year, we had a packed house for the reading and actually had to turn people away at the door. The energy in the room was unbelievable. We've also been talking about doing Twelfth Night for a very long time. James and I both love that show: the characters, the comedy, and how it gives some great parts to women. I can't wait to see what James does with it in a bar in the new year.
T: You've assembled a cast of familiar and talented faces, what has it been like working with so many BASH'd alumni?
J: We thought the best way to say goodbye to the Fringe would be with a group of people who have been part of what we've created over the last five years, so we were pumped when this amazing group of BASH'd veterans agreed to join us this summer. Working with people who have been part of the company for a while means we have a bit of a shorthand. They already know what it's like to perform in a bar; they already know that I'm going to ask them to think fast and really earn any pauses they think they need. It means within the first rehearsal, we were able to start digging deeper and really mining the text for all it's got. These people are pros and it's a pleasure to get to create with them.
T: This is such an interesting concept having one actor play both of the Dromios and Antipholus, what has been your approach in taking this on?
J: It's just so much fun! There's extra comedy that comes out of the words Shakespeare wrote when you see one actor taking on both twins. I'm very lucky to have a pair of smart, funny, and versatile actors taking on this challenge. We've made sure that we take the time to just play. It's a huge challenge we've given ourselves, especially by the end of the play when the long-lost twins (spoiler alert) finally meet. We're trying lots of different ideas and finding the strongest way to make it work, and sometimes there's just something magical that happens naturally and everything clicks into place. I think this concept will offer a really big payoff in the final scene and have a bit of theatrical magic.
T: What can audiences expect from this production? What will set it apart from the other Shakespeare plays at Fringe, especially the other production of The Comedy of Errors at the Annex Theatre?
J: This production is a culmination of our last four years of sold-out Fringe shows. We're pulling out all the stops and really putting our money where our mouth is. This will be an energetic, bare-bones, clear, engaging staging of this hilarious play in true BASH'd style. We're taking everything we've learned and developed from past Fringes and putting together a tight, hilarious show, to serve as a thank you to everyone who has helped make us a success.
I don't know much about the other production at the Annex Theatre, but I think it's a more modern adaptation of the play. That alone will mean these productions will be incredibly different. Ours is very true to the text as is was written in the original, creating an immersive, action packed, bar-room staging. I'm excited to see how the other production stages their adaptation at the Annex Theatre. It will be a lot of fun to see another way of telling this story (audiences may enjoy seeing them both)! Tori: Both of you are playing two sets of identical twins in this production. That must come with a unique set of challenges. What have been some of the best moments working on this show and what have been some of the challenges? What has been your approach?
Tim: For me, some of the best moments have been the most challenging as well. Playing twins makes for serious logistical difficulties – since, at times, I need to literally be in two places at once! Playing two characters in itself is nothing new (especially for BASH'd shows, where many of the roles are double-cast), but playing two characters who speak to each other is more unusual, and can be tricky to pull off. We were apprehensive going into rehearsals for an ending scene where my characters speak to each other, but something truly serendipitous happened – I'll save it for the show! – and we managed to make a little bit of theatre magic.
I try to approach every rehearsal process with an open heart, curiosity, and imagination. The BASH'd team is always open to any, and all, of my wacky suggestions, and encourages us to work in ways that suit our specific acting style.
Kelly: I think (so far) my favourite moment while working through this guy was the first time we made our way through Act 5. Now, WARNING I have some spoilers coming up. When we got to the point where all the twins finally come face to face, we had an "ok lets try and figure THIS out" moment. So we tried something out and it sort of just worked. It was a little happy accident. All the blocking worked out, for the most part, and we were facing the person we needed to speak to next. Look, I won't go into too many details, but you are going to have to buy a ticket and talk to me after the show about it. What you will see when you come to the show is a refined version of (maybe) our first attempt to figure out the twins reunion.
T: You've both worked with BASH'd before, what have been some of your favourite moments? What can audiences expect from your performance?
Tim: Some of my favourite moments working with BASH'd are actually of their audiences. I think a Shakespeare play only comes alive when performed in front of living, breathing human beings – and the BASH'd audiences are some of the most giving and supportive. The people that come out to see the shows are always there for a good time, and are as integral to the performance as the rest of the production team.
Fringe audiences can expect to hear a clear story, and see two clear characters! I'm working to make the twins separate, and their respective stories understandable – hopefully this makes for hilarious comedy!
Kelly: This would be the 3rd show I've done with BASH'd. I've done a few readings as well. My favourite time might have been working on the Romeo/Friar banished scene with Jesse Griffiths. He's SO great and I felt we were really there for each other. It was definitely a "I love this/I'm terrified of this" scene. I loved it. Another one would have to be during The Taming of the Shrew where I jumped forward (maybe) 2 pages of text. I remember looking up and seeing three wide eyed scene partners and then we figured out some blocking together and got out of there.

Ministry Update
January - April 2012
Dear Praying Friends,
The first part of 2012 has been busy, exciting and blessed!
We had a wonderful time in Alaska in January, where we were able to start off the new year at our home church in Fairbanks and then have meetings in Palmer and Kenai before attempting to head south. I say "attempting" to head south because we got stuck in Alaska for a few extra days due to a huge snowstorm that blanketed the Seattle area for several days and shut down the airport.
Pastor Alex Munoz and the good folks of Northwest Baptist Church in Marysville, Washington were very understanding of our travel difficulties and rearranged the dates of our meeting by a couple of days. We had a wonderful time there in Marysville and were very encouraged to see what the Lord is doing there.
We went from Washington down to California for a Bible Conference at Grace Baptist in Corona and a revival meeting at Tabernacle Baptist in Concord. After enjoying the sunshine for a couple of weeks we headed north once again for meetings in Idaho, Washington and Montana.
We had the privilege of preaching for the annual "President's Day Tournament" at Riverview Baptist Church in Pasco, Washington this year. This is a unique basketball/volleyball tournament that starts with a youth rally Sunday night and then competition interspersed with preaching through Wednesday afternoon. There were teams represented from all over the west coast and we had a great time of fun and spiritual refreshment.
In March we made our way back across the country and were excited to get back to our little house in Kentucky for a couple of days. We had not been there since the middle of December, but that's just the way it goes when you are on the road all of the time.
We were able to be at a couple of churches for the first time in March, Loudonville Baptist Temple in Loudonville, Ohio and Faith Baptist Church in Allegan, Michigan. We had a wonderful time at each and were very encouraged to see the Lord work in the services.
We had a great revival meeting in Lancaster, Ohio with our good friends at Bible Baptist Church. Pastor Roy Maple has "stood by the stuff" there in Lancaster for many years and God has greatly blessed the ministry there.
The last week of March found us in Penfield, New York at Southeast Bible Baptist Church, preaching for their annual Missions Conference. We always enjoy having the opportunity to encourage people to get involved in the work of missions around the world. God truly blessed that week and they saw an increase in their missions giving for the year. We enjoyed meeting some new missionary friends and renewing acquaintance with those we only get to see on rare occasions.
Most of April, we were in Revival meetings in Virginia and were very blessed to see God work in many hearts. We saw some real victories won in the lives of people. What a wonderful privilege to be a small part of the work of the Saviour!
It never fails to humble and amaze us that people all around the country pray for us on a regular basis. Please accept our thanks for standing with us. There are times when we get tired and discouraged but it always gives us a "shot in the arm" when we find out someone is praying!The summer months will be very busy and will take us from East to West and everywhere in between. We hope to see you in our travels!
God bless you,

Get the best protection for your basement. A TripleSafe® Sump Pump System (shown here), combined with a SaniDry® dehumidifier, represents the ultimate in basement waterproofing and humidity control.
At Adirondack Basement Systems, we understand that a basement represents a very large section of space in your home. If you live in a one-story home, your basement could be half of your total square footage!
Installation of your waterproofing system should take our installers one, perhaps two, days under normal conditions.
Our installers use quality Basement Systems products, which have proven effective for drying basements for more than 20 years.
Contact us today for a Free Estimate in Albany, Schenectady, Troy, Amsterdam, Saratoga Springs, Clifton Park, Queensbury, Gloversville, Latham, Ballston Spa, Cohoes, Johnstown, Rensselaer, Hudson, Mechanicville, Hudson Falls, Ballston Lake, Delmar, Glens Falls, Gansevoort, Waterford, Watervliet, Catskill and the nearby New York area.
Basement finishing is the most cost-effective way you can add living space to your home. Unlike building an addition on to your home, the basement is already there, and so are the pipes, electrical wires, and utilities you need.
According to Remodeling Online's 2009-2010 report, basement finishing raises the value of your home by 75.4% of the remodeling price. This makes it one of the best home improvement investments on their report.
A home with a wet basement becomes much more difficult to sell. In fact, reports show that a wet basement is one of the most serious "red flags" that deters buyers.
Combined with our lifetime written warranty, which is transferable to the next owner, home buyers will be confident that their home is protected, restoring 10% or more of the home's market value.
Our crews of waterproofers are experienced, well-trained professionals that work in basements and crawl spaces every day. They've seen it all, and they know just what needs to be done to keep your basement dry all the time!

Every now and then,
When I am all alone,
When silence fills the room,
And my time is all my own,
Memories of who I used to be
Flood my heart and mind,
Send a torturous, cruel reminder
That I miss the woman I left behind.
I think of all the plans she made,
Her goals, her hopes, her dreams,
And I ache for what I longed to be,
Not possible now it seems.
For then I thought that I had time,
An endless bright future ahead,
Boundless energy and hopeful spirit,
Life uncluttered and free from dread.
I never envisioned this unkind twist of fate,
The way the world would turn,
The toll this would take, the price it would demand,
That for my past I would forever yearn.
If I had understood the road ahead,
The burdensome future that lay in wait,
If I had known that time was short,
Different choices I might have made.
I might have tried to live my life
Minus the anxiety and grief,
Relished every moment, paused to appreciate,
Had I known time was such a thief.
Perhaps I would have danced and laughed
Without worrying what others thought,
Perchance I would have abandoned my fears,
Grasped the ring without regret or afterthought.
I am sure I would have forgiven more,
Showed compassion and affection without end.
I would have endeavored to understand,
To be a far better friend.
I am certain I would have made it known
To family and friends alike,
Just how much they mattered to me,
How they were cherished, how they filled my life.
But try as I might, I cannot go back,
Can't erase the damage I've done,
Cannot replay the reel, rewind the tape,
No redeeming the woman who is gone.
I must leave it behind me and live in this moment,
Let go of who I was then,
Savor the present, embrace the now,
Recognize that I can begin again.
I miss the woman I left behind,
The one I now barely know,
The one that hoped, and dreamed, and wished,
That could not imagine how her future would go.
But she was not some virtuous soul,
Not one to be admired or praised.
Little profundity or wisdom dwelled in her,
A woman who made many mistakes.
And "then" was not such a perfect life,
Perhaps not as golden as it once did seem.
We gloss the flaws and blur the failings,
Romanticize and believe the dream.
I am not now what I was then,
But I was never meant to be.
I dwell on the past, count the losses and costs,
Ignore what should truly matter to me.
I grieve for the things I might have done,
Weep for chances lost,
But I can still embrace, treasure my life,
And become what I know I must.
For I cannot reclaim the time,
Can't erase my bygone mistakes,
Cannot pretend that I do not now know,
Must resign to the path I'm required to take.
Yet my journey is not without all hope,
It is more than pain, anguish, and regret;
It is also a chance to flourish, to grow,
Overcome the despair, give back, repay my debt.
For I am wiser than the woman before,
And compassion once missing and hidden,
Now dominate my heart and soul, revealed,
Free to exercise what I had once forbidden.
I have learned to pause and behold,
Take a breath, delight in each second,
And I endeavor to love and accept,
Welcome every chance that I am given.
I have value, and I have worth,
I still have much to give,
Though my life won't play out how I once thought,
How I then believed I would live.
So when I ponder every now and then,
When I am all alone,
When silence fills the room,
And my time is all my own,
I must learn to use the time
To tell myself new truths,
To cherish the blessings that I still have,
To rest, to thank, to begin anew.
And every now and then,
When I think about "now" and "then,"
I must forget the pain, loss, regret,
And learn to live my life again.

Jason Chaffetz on with Sean Hannity last night where he said he has no doubt that John Boehner will be re-elected as Speaker of the House today when the 113th Congress convenes. There had been some speculation among conservatives yesterday that a group of Republicans might have the votes to unseat him as Speaker. Does not look like that is the case. It will be interesting to see if anything unusual develops.

Yes, & we can go further if we pay attention to what Scripture
tells us about God's purpose for creation, the Incarnation of the Word
(Eph.1:10). That suggests that a rationally ordered universe and the
evolution of intelligent life are parts of God's design leading to the
accomplishment of that ultimate purpose. OTOH, there is no reason to
insist that the intelligent life which would evolve & in which the
Incarnation would occur would be on our particular planet, or that it be
bipedal &c. So the development of terrestrial _homo sapiens_ need not
be seen as essential to God's purpose.
& of course this provides no independent ID argument for God
because it _starts_ from belief in the God revealed in Christ.
Anthropic Principle & design arguments are quite different - & more
honest - if explicitly set within that context.

Well! Wednesday is Valentines Day, as I'm sure you all know. Since It's only Monday, (ew) I have some nails that aren't Valentines themed, but could be if you wanted. haha. I hope everyone's Monday isn't too crappy and you all have a great week. Today is me and my boyfriend's 11th month aniversary! That's crazy in highschool years! Haha. Well,
The colours that I used were: Colour Club Chelsea Girl which is a really nice blue. It's pretty much the colour blue that I think about when I think of blue. Does that make sense? Haha. China Glaze Elephant Walk which is a grey that I probably wouldn't have picked out myself, I got it from a friend. It does however, look a lot nicer on nails than in the bottle. Revlon Whimsical is a milky glitter. It took about 4 coats to get it to the transparency as it is here.
The flower was bought off of ebay, and are a really nice light blue lily that fades into white near the top.
I used white acrylic paint for the letters and mixed it with a bit of Elephant Walk for the shadow.

City Hunter: The Death of the Evil Ryo Saeba
Shame on you if you've never heard of City Hunter before ^_^. For those that are new though, City Hunter is about a gun-for-hire named Ryo Saeba. He's the best there is. Ryo LOVES women. In fact, he only accepts female clients. His partner is Kaori, and she tries to keep Ryo in line with her trusty hammers. She likes him. He likes her. They both won't admit it. You get the picture ^_^. In this one, there's a hot news anchor named Sayaka Asagiri who needs Ryo to be her bodyguard. She witnessed the murder of the president of MegaCity TV, so her life is in danger. Anyway, you KNOW Ryo has to try and hit it up with her. And you KNOW Kaori is gonna be there to kick his ass for trying. Fun, action, mokkori antics, and some bad-ass dialogue Team Abcb style.
City Hunter: Goodbye My Sweetheart
In this special, Ryo is hired by a famous client to find her missing brother. Along the way, there's a little bit of mischief (mostly by Ryo), a little bit of romance, and lots of action.
"Goodbye My Sweetheart" has been picked up commercially by ADV. No longer available for distribution.

14 May CV Basics: Your Questions Answered
Q: Does a CV always need to be only one page?
A: CV length should not exceed two sides of A4 paper. How much of those two sides you fill depends on how much you have done. Undergraduates and school leavers may be hard pushed to fill two sides of A4 simply because they may not have very much experience, if this is the case one side of A4 will suffice. Conversely candidates who have established a career history will have to be selective as to what they include so that it all fits on, in this case make sensible use of margin and paragraph sizes.
Q: Should the education section always be near the top?
A: If you still are in or have recently completed formal education your academic achievements will form a major part of your qualifications, and it is recommended to place these near the top of your CV. Also some industries, notably communications, value related experience above degree work and therefore, place your academic qualifications further down the page.
Q: Is an objective always necessary?
A: No, it is not crucial, however an employer will be impressed if you have a focused idea of where you want your career to be heading, especially if it is in line with their planned development.
Q: What if I haven't done very much to fill up my CV?
A: This does not matter, everyone has to start somewhere, if sparse content is a problem use sensible formatting and fonts so that you comfortably fill one side of A4.
Q: Do hobbies and personal interests need to be shown?
A: It is not imperative to show your interests however it can provide an employer with an insight into your personality. This will undoubtedly be covered at interview so the more you can prepare them the better.
Q: Must references be included?
A: It is advisable not to include references as part of your CV. A small note stating that 'References available on request' will be sufficient.
Q: What should be on my CV?
A: Contact details, nationality, an introduction, previous employment history, academic qualifications, hobbies and interests.
Q: What shouldn't I put on my CV?
A: Religion, references, sexuality, why you left your previous jobs, all your school grades, a photo, lies.
Q: Do I have to include all of my exam results?
A: No, just the most recent and a summary of your A-Level, GCSE qualifications will be enough unless they are specifically relevant to the job you're applying for.
Q: In what order do I list information?
A: Contact details at the top, a brief introduction, employment history, education, interests, and hobbies.
Q: What sort of paper should I print it on?
A: The best quality that you can get your hands on, but use common sense, do not get paper that is too thick.
Q: In what format should I save my CV?
A: Most recruiters have MS Office applications, and so a Word document will be suitable. It is a universal system that all recruiters, and company databases and tracking systems, will be able to view on their computer systems.
Q: How can I ensure that my CV will be read?
A: CVs usually aren't read at first, they are scanned. With that in mind you should build your CV to be easily scanned by sight:
- • Present information in concise, compact statements. Avoid large blocks of text.
- • Organize your information so that the reader doesn't have to hunt for your skills.
- • Use fonts and text styles consistently to provide visual structure to your document.
- • Leave plenty of white space so it isn't cluttered.
- • Sprinkle industry buzzwords and use fresh, positive language.
- • Leave irrelevant, unnecessary or inappropriate information off your CV.
Q: Do I need more than one CV?
A: Construct a 'core CV' guide then configure that to the recipient each time you send it out.
Q: How far back should I go with the information I put on my CV?
A: Ten years is a maximum. Go back further and you run the risk of rambling on with irrelevant information. However, there are certain situations in which experience from more than ten years ago may be advantageous to show on your CV. In this case, it is usually a good idea to taper the descriptions of your experience as you work back (making entries less detailed). Another option may be to find another way to show experience or qualification from more than ten years ago.

Finding a face foundation is an extremely frustrating task. And often times, overwhelming. The overwhelming part takes place in the initial choosing the foundation process. Liquid or powder? Mineral or gel-based? Matte or dewey finish? Spf or no Spf? Primer or no primer? The list goes on and on. One thing is for sure, a certain amount of research is involved in even finding the right product to try, let alone fall in love with and use over and over again. I have been searching for the right foundation for years. I know now that even finding one that I love does not mean I've crossed the finish line. Loving the foundation has little to do with the foundation loving you! You have to give it at least a week before you declare and finalize your love, to see if the product is going to cause you break-outs or other unwelcome skin imperfections. Over the course of the last 5 years, there have been many who have come and gone. But one thing remains the same. I am still in search of my perfect product. I may have found it today, but like I said, one cannot rush to judgment. I will take you on my foundation roller coaster and explain why certain ones just couldn't make the cut.
Skin History: On the dry side with combination/oily chin area. Sensitive. Dry patches by the mouth and nose. Prone to break outs around chin area and sometimes the little white bumps on my forehead. Overall, pretty good condition.
Given my individual skin chemistry, these are the results that happened with my own personal skin. If your skin is oily or combination and you are looking for a mattifying product then your outlook will be different on any given foundation. Its all very subjective. One woman's trash is another woman's treasure.
Some of the products I've used, Pros and Cons:
Bare Minerals:
We've all used this at one time or another. I tried it for the first time around 5 years ago. I quite liked it and the finish that the mineral veil gave. Until I saw myself in photos. Do yourself a favor when you try a foundation, take a picture of yourself out in the sunlight. The results can often be brutal, sometimes favorable, but always honest. My face appeared to be quite dry and lacklustre. Bare Minerals was history.
Pros: Didn't make me break out, liked the finish the mineral veil gave, good shade selection.
Cons: Drying. Contains bismuth which some have a sensitivity to. If your face is dry and itchy while using BM, this is most likely why.
Laura Mercier Illuminating Tinted Moisturizer:
I really liked this one and I am pretty sure that I still do. I was entertaining the idea of trying this one again but I am looking for a fuller coverage foundation right now. I will hit up Laura M. in the hotter months though when I am searching for something lighter.
Pros: Great dewey/illuminating finish. Was able to find a good shade match. Light coverage which means that it feels light on the skin.
Cons: Not full coverage. Became a bit oily around my chin and caused me to break out.
Laura Mercier Mineral Powder Foundation:
Back to mineral powder! I had heard SO so so much about this foundation and how great it was and what a beautiful sheen it gave. Why oh why did I have to be the one person that noticed none of the glowing praise on my own skin? I didn't even notice it was on my skin, let alone giving it a beautiful sheen. I had to apply so much and I just didn't get the coverage I was looking for.
Pros: Not as drying as Bare Minerals. Laura Mercier is a reputable brand who usually makes great products. Has a very good mechanism in place to keep product not spill out all over the place inside the container.
Cons: Not enough coverage. Not enough of anything.
Korres Mineral Powder Foundation:
The absolute stand-out product of all mineral powders that I've tried. A beautiful sheen is provided by the mica that the product contains. Very good coverage and not noticeably drying.
Pros: Better coverage than other mineral powders. Nice sheen. Not drying. Contains SPF 30 which is impressive on its own. Contains lots of good for your skin ingredients as well as claims of anti-aging properties. Seems to fill in fine lines and give a very smooth finish.
Cons: Not enough shade selection. The color I picked is a tad on the golden side because that is all they had in my light/medium category. I need a cooler pinker toned shade. They actually FILL the jar with the product and not just give you a big jar to trick you into thinking its all product (:::cough:::Bare Minerals :::cough:::) Nothing wrong with the actual product for what you can reasonably expect from it. Just not the finish I am looking for all the time. Hard to achieve dewey with any type of powder.
Mac Studio Sculpt:
This is one of my latest trials and eventual error. I wanted this to work so badly but in the back of my mind, I knew that it wouldn't. I've heard so much about Mac foundations being chalked full of pore-cloggers and that it has caused many dissatisfied users to break out almost immediately. Put one more on that list. This is a gel-based foundation which can be a tad tricky to work with. After trying several application methods, I found that applying it with my Sephora foundation brush then blending it with my very dense Sephora bronzing brush was the most even and blendy
Pros: Provides that dewey finish I want. Lots of shade selection for all skin tones and undertones. Affordable, around $29. Gel-based foundation which gives you a nice glowy appearance. SPF 15.
Cons: Pore-clogging. Not meant for skin prone to break-outs. Not meant for oily skin, although I have dry skin but I am just saying. Caused major break-outs. Hard to work with with just any foundation brush. You need a very dense brush to blend it or else it can apply streaky.
Nanoce BB Cream:
This is the stuff that is big talk in the makeup world right now. There are several brands of BB cream, a Japanese all-in-one type of foundation. I chose to order the Nanoce upon the recommendation of someone who claimed this brand was the best. I was very intrigued by the claim that it was a moisturizer, acne medication, foundation, and anti-ager all in one product. If it sounds to good to be true, it kinda sorta but not completely is in this case.
Pros: Pretty good coverage, blends easily with a good dense brush, good shade match.SPF30. Affordable for all that it claims to do, I paid around $30.
Cons: Clings a bit to dry areas like middle of my chin and around my nose, not enough shade selection (basically a light and a medium), not moisturizing enough to skip using your own moisturizer. Plastic tube was supposed to contain once ounce of product but it was not at all full. Most of the directions and product description was in Japanese on the back of the tube and the box. Which is cool as long as it accompanies an English translation.
I'm not completely giving up on this one yet, but it hasn't wowed me to the point of being deserving of my loyalty.
Cover FX Mineral Powder Foundation:
This is a pressed powder foundation that comes in your standard pressed powder compact. There is a wide variety of shade selection right down to the exact kind of undertone you may have. Very thorough.
Pros: Shade selection. Supposed to be good for acne-prone or sensitive skin. It didn't break me out. Oil absorbing qualities. Decent coverage for a mineral powder.
Cons: Too matte. A tad drying because of the matte finish. Texture is someone chalky. Packaging is kind of ugly. Pricey for only getting less than half of an ounce $36
May give this one another go around in the summer if my skin becomes more on the oily side but right now, it doesn't work well with predominately dry skin. May look into their cream powder foundation.
Chanel Lift Lumiere:
|Chanel on left, Nanoce BB Cream on right
This is the latest of my foundation endeavors. After thorough research to make an informed decision, I went with this one. I had heard that it was a medium-full coverage foundation that gave a dewey and airbrushed finish. Who isn't completely enticed by use of the word "airbrush"? In my opinion if you throw this word into your item description, you have just sealed the deal for foundation fanatics. Claims to have anti-aging properties, hence the use of the term "lift". Well, I'm 32, I can use all the lift I can get.
Pros: Airbrush, dewey finish. It's Chanel. Beautiful packaging. Pump dispenser for easy application. Easy to work with. Not at all thick. Gives a sheer, glowy appearance when you test it on the hand but does give good enough coverage when applied to the face. Good shade match. Its Chanel.
Cons: I've heard that Chanel foundations can also be hell on sensitive skin. I have used one other Chanel face product, the Bronze Universal, and although I loved it more than my own family, I couldn't take the break-outs. Sad to say, it was almost worth the breakouts. Very expensive, $70 with tax. The most expensive foundation I've tried but not the most expensive face product I've tried so I wasn't all that shocked. If its going to go on my face, I am willing to shell out the extra cost. The face is kind of important ya know?
Jury is still out. This is only day 1. I am half-hoping I don't like it because its expensive and then half-hoping I do like it because I don't want to spend any more money on foundation.
Update Chanel Lift Lumiere:
Failure! Although I like the finish, it broke me out like a young man going through puberty! Plus it was too yellow for me. I am pink. I don't know how she couldn't see that and every other person in the history of makeup artistry can. Exchanged for Chanel Vitalumiere Aqua.
Chanel Vitalumiere Aqua:
This stuff is also supposed to be great. This is a very light-weight and light coverage foundation. Also, oil-free. I thought I wanted something full coverage but since its already been in the 80's I can't stand having anything on my face at all, let alone a foundation mask.
Pros: Cheaper. Light-weight. Oil-free. Its Chanel. Lots of shade matches for my skin undertone.
Cons: Only one so far. I went to get some out, barely squeezing the tube and enough for 4 days worth of face makeup came out. Not cool.
Possible Future Contenders:
Make Up For Ever (MUFE) Face and Body Foundation:
I was so tempted after reading the reviews. Went to Sephora to test it out. I was so grossed out because of how the foundation appears to have settled in the glass jar. It's like oil has risen to the top and you can see the foundation is kind of broken up in spots and then you see a watery consistency all around it. I guess you have to shake it up before you use? Any which way you look at it, it was off-putting and kind of shocking to be quite honest. I don't know if they come with a pump dispenser or not. I've seen them pictured both with and without. Get with the times MUFE!
Pros: Supposed to diminish fine lines and large pores. Water-based gel has no emulsifiers and gives a satin finish. Also made to use on the body. I wonder what this means. Wouldn't you need kind of a lot to use on the body? The only place I can think to use foundation would be maybe to cover a tattoo or cover up bruises or leg imperfections but being that this is a light coverage foundation, I don't see this being appropriate.
Cons: I don't know the cons because I haven't gotten this far. The only con I have is that the tester bottles were so unattractive that they had me running for the Chanel counter. Had they been more pleasing to the eye, I would be talking about how I'm trying MUFE foundation and not the Chanel Lift Lumiere.
Laura Mercier Silk Creme Foundation:
The name just sounds very enticing. Silk. Creme.
Pros: Supposed to be long-wearing, and good coverage for pigmentation and those with Rosacea. Oil-free. Radiant glow. Wide variety of shades. LM makes good products.
Cons: Have heard that it looks cakey and clings to skin's imperfections like pores and dry spots. Despite the claim of being a long-wearing product, I have read reviews that say it melts right off.

HYPOCRITE MICHELLE (AKA MICHAEL) OBAMA: "I don't know men who talk that way." OOOOPS...What about all those hip hop rappers you have had in the White House?
RUSH: So Michelle Obama's in New Hampshire, and she's commenting on Trump's locker room talk, and she says, "It's not locker room talk. I don't know men who talk that way. Decent men do not talk that way. What Trump was talking about was sexual assault," she said. "Donald Trump was acting out sexual assault, and it is intolerable." Something... You know, Trump said... If you go back to this audiotape, he said, "When you're a celebrity, they let you do anything." How can there can be assault if somebody's granting permission?
How can it be assault if they let you do anything? But that's a fine point. The fine point is Trump... Men brag, and she is telling people that she doesn't know men who brag. You know the people that have been to the White House? How about some of the rappers that talk about their bitches and their hos have performed such lyrics in the White House? But she doesn't know men who talk and sing about sexual assault. It's all over hip-hop lyrics and has been for a while!
