Rated 1 out of 5 by DIY1 from Horroble prouduct This specific paint leaves blotches of glitter on the wall not all over the wall. I would rather use a different brand than this brand. Gold acrylic paint works better than this.
Rated 1 out of 5 by DEE1 from DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY This product is horrible. leaves weird color marks on wall even if you apply a lot.
Rated 1 out of 5 by Hollylt from Too much for so little I bought one can thinking it would be gold and it will cover a white wall instead I have blotches that now I need to order another can just to make it look halfway decent. I'm having company in this room in two days and I am so mad that it's going to look horrible. I have to redo it when they leave. It's glitter on clear paint and you need to buy at least three cans for one wall.
Rated 2 out of 5 by DIYaholic from I thought this would be gold paint with gold glitter but instead it is clear coat with gold glitter. So you must paint a base color and then add MULTIPLE layers of this product.

We all age, but we don't have to accept the signs of aging through this natural process. Concerns such as dark circles, loose skin on the upper or lower eyelids, fine lines, and drooping eyebrows make the eyes appear tired, angry, sad or generally depleted of energy. Millions of adults routinely use injectables like Botox and dermal fillers to reduce the effects of aging around the eyes. For those who want to improve the appearance of the tissue around their eyes without injections or eyelid surgery, there's Instantly Ageless®. Dr. Jean Keamy of Keamy Cosmetic Centre offers Instantly Ageless® to her greater Boston area patients.
Instantly Ageless is an innovative cosmeceutical serum. The product is referred to as a cosmeceutical because it contains biologically active compounds that have a therapeutic effect on the skin. The Instantly Ageless formula is clinically-proven for safety and efficacy.
Instantly Ageless is an anti-wrinkle and anti-aging cream that works to reduce the signs of aging. This product restores volume and youth to the skin, and minimizes fine lines and enlarged pores. The results are instant, and each application lasts up to eight hours.
Who Is a Good Candidate for Instantly Ageless Treatment?
Many adults are good candidates for Instantly Ageless because there is no surgery involved and no injections. No foreign substance is injected into the body so the potential for adverse reaction is low. A brief medical history and skin assessment may be performed before this product is dispensed in order to minimize the slight risk of allergic reaction to one of the product ingredients.
The primary active ingredient in this product is a hexapeptide, a special ingredient that comes from a substrate of Botox. This hexapeptide, Argireline, works in a similar manner to Botox. However, skin-smoothing results originating with decreased muscle contractions don't come from injections, they come from a simple application of a topical solution.
When Instantly Ageless is absorbed into the sub-dermal layers of tissue, skin cells immediately draw closer together. This contracts skin that has become lax in less than 5 minutes.
Instantly Ageless is a product, not an in-office treatment. It may be used as often as daily following easy steps.
Apply moisturizer, sunscreen, or any other skincare products before Instantly Ageless. Doing so can enhance the skin's receptivity to the solution.
The anti-aging solution is contained in a single-use vial. After twisting off the cap, a few drops of product can be placed on the finger.
The product is applied to target areas using a light tapping motion. Do not rub Instantly Ageless into the skin. Until the product absorbs, the skin will feel slightly damp.
While the product is drying, it is necessary to keep the face expressionless; no facial movements.
If the vial is not empty, the cap should be replaced quickly to prevent the remaining product from drying out.
Once the product has been left on the skin for 2 to 3 minutes without moving the face, it is possible to apply makeup and go about the day as usual.
How Long Do Instantly Ageless Results Last?
Each application of Instantly Ageless cosmeceutical solution provides approximately 8 hours of smoother, younger-looking skin. It is possible to reapply immediately for extended results.
Do I need to have multiple treatments?
Skin-smoothing results from Instantly Ageless appear just a few minutes after the very first application. Multiple treatments are not needed. However, repeat application is necessary to once again reduce the signs of aging that are troublesome to you. The temporary yet gentle nature of this product makes it an ideal aspect of a daily skincare routine or a go-to for those important events when you want to look and feel your best.
Side effects do not usually occur after Instantly Ageless is applied. The exception may be individuals who have highly sensitive skin. Take care to avoid getting product in your eyes, as this may cause temporary irritation but no more than other beauty products. If Instantly Ageless gets into the eyes, a quick rinse with water removes residue and should ease irritation.
If the skin becomes puffy, red, or itchy after Instantly Ageless is applied, stop using the product, as this may indicate an allergy to one or more of the product ingredients. You may contact your doctor for instructions on managing your reaction.
Have you been searching for an alternative to Botox? Instantly Ageless may be it. Contact us to schedule your consultation in our Westborough or Salem office. Call us today at 508-836-USEE.

Talk Pinball: About Us
Talk Pinball was created in January 2007 in an effort to provide another means to promote and discuss pinball as a hobby and pass-time. The idea of a webcast where enthusiasts can listen from around the world is yet another great way to keep in touch in this hobby.
Behind the mic.. Your hosts of Talk Pinball!
Jesse Kujawa (Pinball Magic)
Jesse is a hobbyist/collector of pinball machines and coin-op games. Just like many others, Jesse developed an interest in pinball machines as a child. He used to hang out at the mall arcade and bowling alleys playing pinball. One of his most memorable pinball moments was when he went on a camping trip in northern Wisconsin in the early 80's. Jesse says "There was a field house next to the lake where you could rent paddle boats, buy bait and ice cream treats. They also had an area with a jukebox, pinball machines, and pool table. Late at night, I would sneak over to the field house and play pinball. It was so quiet around me and it felt like I was "one" with the game. I had a lot of fun and knew I was hooked on pinball!"
Jesse stared collecting Pachislo slot machines in 2000 and bought his first pinball machine the following year. Over the years he's been restoring and fixing games for people in his area. He says his career choices and other hobbies have helped him "prepare" for the pinball hobby. Jesse has been a licensed, Amateur Radio operator since 1994. "I used to repair old, tube radios and build kits", said Jesse. He is also a musician and has been playing since he was 11. He's had some interesting jobs over the years. "I've been a welder, kitchen cabinet builder, telecommunications equipment technician, and IT Systems Admnistator", Jesse said; "All of which have helped me in this hobby in one way or another".
Jesse's current collection consists of several older solid-state Bally games. He also has a Twilight Zone and Bally electro-mechanical pin.
He has also been hosting a pinball chat on Sunday nights since 2002. For more information about Jesse, visit www.pinballmagic.com.
Lloyd Olson (LTG)
Lloyd is a veteran of the coin operated industry. Was born into the industry. His earliest memories are of mechanical baseball games and pinball. When he was about 5 years old, his parents dragged a Kentucky Derby pinball machine into the basement for him to play with. It was during this time he was first learning to solder, and attempted to make his own pinball machine. Also started to build a boat in a building his father rented to base his coin operated route from.
Lloyd's parents divorced when he was eight years old. His father continuing in the coin operated business, his mother ended her career at Honeywell and bought a bar. In the early 1960's his Father bought the Rifle Sport Arcade at 812 Hennepin Avenue, a fixture in downtown Minneapolis for about thirty years. Lloyd spent a lot of his free time and summers helping at the arcade and during the Minnesota State Fair worked at a shooting range his father ran. These were not the happiest of memories for Lloyd, it was a time of hard work, and he was being guided down a path where it was expected he would eventually run his father's business and someday inherit it. During the summers he worked mowing lawns and weeding gardens.
One of Lloyd's best pinball memories came from around this time. While on vacation in Grand Marais Minnesota, Lloyd helped Gordy, who owned The Harbor Lights bar and cabins cover his pool table. An operator had an old Harbor Lights pinball machine there, and after hours Lloyd and Gordy would have a few beers and play pinball. Those were some great times.
In 1972 Lloyd quit working for his father and worked for Advance Carter, a large company that operated machines and arcades. This was the same time his mother bought SS Billiards with his help. After one year Lloyd went full time at SS Billiards, buying out his mother's interests in February 1979 and purchasing his own games. The first new machine he ever bought was Gottlieb's Pinball Pool. This was the beginning of some great times, the rise of solid state games, the video game fad exploded. Through his distributor Lieberman Music Company, Lloyd was a test operator for Gottlieb, Williams, and Bally. The first test game he had was Williams' Black Knight.
He's been fortunate to see so many changes in the industry, and experience so many varieties of the business. The manufacturer schools, meeting many recording artists when the 45rpm industry was thriving on juke boxes, uncrated many machines when new, that we see being restored now. Even the down turn in the industry which has changed his business to today where he is trying to have that niche market with pinball machines, and parties and tournaments.
Lloyd is a regular poster on rec.games pinball newsgroup. Starting with a response on September 17, 1999 about pinball in the Twin City area, which led to trying to help people fix their games and get the most out of their hobby. While he's had many different hobbies and interests, he still likes to shop a pinball machine and stand back and enjoy the beauty of a pinball machine. A true work of art you can feel and play. And feels the best times are yet to come.If you want to learn more about Lloyd visit his website at http://www.ssbilliards.com or stop by and talk to him.

Wisconsin's Republican Death Cult
Senator Van Wanggard, apparently experiencing the throes of death cult rapture.
We need to talk about the Wisconsin Republican Party's fascination with killing Black people.
On a national level, the way Republicans lined up behind Trump led to even conservative columnist Jennifer Rubin describing the party as a cult. When the pandemic spread and Trump led his people onto a path of denial and conspiracy theory, Rubin got more specific: calling the party a death cult.
Republicans in Wisconsin epitomize that death cult zeal–with a particular racial focus. From their reactions to the last year of pandemic and protest, to the upcoming budget process, the policy aims of the Republican Party consistently pursue the deaths of Black people. Their obsession most recently manifested in the state senate's passage of Senate Bill 8, which explicitly denies covid19 vaccines to Wisconsin's highest risk population: prison captives.
In Wisconsin, when Republicans target prisoners, they are targeting Black people. They might deny seeing race, and some liberals who focus on respectability and representation might even agree with them. Everyone wants to decouple race and prison, but the difficult truth is that this state overfills its prisons with Black people.
Wisconsin has been first or second in racially targeted incarceration for years. According to a 2019 study by the Vera institute, Black people make up 7% of Wisconsin's population, but 41% of its prison captives. The sentencing project found that the Black/white incarceration differential is 11.5, more than twice the national average.
These numbers are not an accident, and they also do not indicate that Black people are inherently more criminal. Studies have consistently shown that, even for crimes white people commit most often, Black people are more often arrested. Law enforcement statistics and some researchers still wrongfully correlate Black people with some violent crime, however that correlation goes away in studies where factors like poverty and socio-economic status are accounted for. The association between race and violent crime persists because of both racially biased research, and because it is difficult to find a control group of white people experiencing the same amount of economic deprivation and neglect as the most low-income Black communities.
A fundamental fact we at abolishmke hope everyone comes to understand is that incarceration correlates to race and class far more than it correlates to actual criminal behavior. The vast majority of criminals do not go to prison, and white criminals–especially rich white criminals–are far less likely to be surveilled, pursued, arrested, charged, convicted, and sentenced to time in prison than Black people.
This truth makes clear that prison and police are not tools of public safety, but weapons of white supremacy. When Republican politicians pass their "tougher on crime" bills and laws to increase the harms of prison, like Senate Bill 8, they are trying to wield those weapons against the Black community.
Weaponizing the Pandemic
The failure of the Wisconsin prison system to protect its captives against COVID19 further enables the death cult. More than half the people held in the DOC have tested positive for covid19. So far, the DOC administration has admitted to 25 deaths, but we have reason to suspect they are undercounting or misattributing deaths. Despite this, the new head of the Division of Adult Institutions (DAI), Sarah Cooper, continues to put the people she holds captive at excessive risk for the sake of enforcing petty property rules. This is in direct violation of the DAI Policy on social distancing—a critical part of managing the spread of covid both inside and outside prisons.
Prisons are and will continue to be the most dangerous places to live in the state. The Republicans in the state senate want more people living in that danger, and for them to get less protection from the pandemic. It's hard to imagine a non-death cult motive for these policies. The Republicans are working hard to ensure that more Black people die.
The author of Senate Bill 8 is Van Wanggaard, he's a former cop representing suburbs around Racine who is only a state senator because of cheating. Wanggaard is head of the senate Judiciary and Public Safety Committee. There he has:
indefinitely suspended the confirmation hearing for parole commission chair John Tate II, a Black man
cast consistently partisan votes
brought a gun to the capitol building
He first tried to deprive people in prison of the vaccine through an amendment to Senate Bill 1, the covid19 relief bill. When Governor Evers vetoed that, the Republicans began reintroducing and passing its provisions piecemeal. Wanggaard's public statements about denying vaccines to prisoners play on racialized fears and stigmatizing language. We're not going to give those statements a platform here, but they were effective at recruiting a bunch of other Republican cultists to line up in support. Chris Larson (D-Milwaukee) proposed an amendment to the bill that replaced most of its language with a denunciation of injecting political bias or partisanship into vaccine distribution. The amendment was rejected along party lines.
Encouraging Murder by Police
Van Wanggaard also authored Senate Bill 119, which seeks to penalize any municipality that reduces its police budget. He calls it the "fund the police" bill, a direct contrary response to demands from last summer's massive protests. The police in amerika murder three people per day on average, and those murders, like the prison system, disproportionately target Black people.
Milwaukee's African American Roundtable (AART) has been running a strong and successful campaign to defund the Milwaukee police department for two budget cycles. Van Wanggaard's "fund the police" bill would reduce Milwaukee's share of state revenue if the common council reduced police funding. It effectively imposes a cost on Milwaukee if our city's elected alderpeople respond to their constituents. There are call-ins and sign-on statements you can participate in against this bill by AART and the Milwaukee Democratic Socialists of America (DSA).
It seems Wisconsin Republicans are not satisfied to cheat their way into the state legislature, or to simply represent their gerrymandered white districts. They want to pass this bill, which will specifically undermine democratic processes and decision-making in Milwaukee, a city they do not represent, live in, or have any real understanding of. How else are these white politicians from the suburbs supposed to try and get Black people killed?
Looking back to the early days of the pandemic, we find another obvious example. By forcing the spring presidential primary to occur on April 7, 2020, Republican scored a double hitter for white supremacy. The pandemic primary first increased the spread of covid19, especially in densely populated urban areas. Secondly, it reduced voter turnout, especially in those same areas. With one action, the Republican Death Cult achieved a few of their favorite things: killing more Black people, suppressing Black voters, and cheating the election process.
A Budget Based on Terror
This year, it seems the Republicans want to repeat that achievement by conducting the public hearings on the state budget through in-person events. As with the pandemic primary, in-person hearings will leverage the risk of covid19 exposure to suppress political participation in these budget hearings.
During the last budget cycle (2019-21), the majority of public comments strongly opposed the Republican agenda. This should come as no surprise, as it matches Wisconsin voting patterns and polling data. Republicans don't seem to care how unpopular their agenda is. They've established minority rule and used it to pass a budget short on popular programs and rife with bullshit. Regarding prison, the contrast between popular will and budget outcomes was particularly stark.
At budget hearings across the state, anti-prison organizers presented dozens of in-person testimonials calling for defunding the DOC, investing in alternatives, and closing the prison in Milwaukee (MSDF). Formerly incarcerated people and their loved ones shared personal stories, appealing to the alleged values of faith-based conservatives on the committee. Advocates also presented detailed financial data to appeal to the supposed frugality of fiscal conservatives on the committee.
Despite these various efforts, the joint finance committee and then the state legislature passed a budget based on white supremacist terror. Their budget not only expanded funding for the DOC and MSDF, but also added the construction of a new prison in Green Bay (something they'd previously tried and failed due to public opposition). The message was clear: the Republican party's commitment to racial terror trumps both their faith-based and fiscal conservative values.
A Weak Defense
In 2019, Governor Tony Evers vetoed the new prison and some other harmful provisions out of the terror budget, but we aren't confident he'll do the same this spring. It is truly unfortunate that the man Wisconsin elected to defend against this ravenous death cult is a such a meek uninspiring moderate. The very modest prison reforms in Evers' proposed a budget have already been squarely rejected by Death Cult leadership, yet he remains eternally naive.
Tony Evers, self-assured as he gets.
Somehow, after years of intractable gridlock, it seems Evers believes bipartisanship will suddenly emerge and win the day. What we need is a governor who vetos prison expansion and resolves overcrowding by moving people out of danger. The Death Cult can do nothing to prevent a governor from granting thousands of pardons and releasing people from prison.
Instead, Tony Evers created a second round of public hearings about his budget. He probably hopes these hearings will rally public support to improve his deal-making position with the Republicans. We fear that in his desperation, Tony Evers will trade away prison reforms for his clear policy favorite: education. It's more likely there will be no deals, though.
The death-cult-controlled joint finance committee doesn't follow public opinion. Last budget cycle they proved that public testimony means nothing to them. Their budget will surely include another prison.
The Republican Party has become a death cult. We should expect nothing from it but another terror budget that reflects the values of the wealthy, white, middle-and-upper class suburban minority whom they serve. That's who they've gerrymandered the state to overcount. Serving them is how they will stay in office. It's also how they will keep Wisconsin the worst place for Black people to live in amerika.

What Debates Reveal About a Candidate's Crisis Management Style
Disaster query moments cut through the noise
https://tevitroy.org/19327/candidates-crisis-management-style
Regardless of who wins the presidential election, we know one thing for sure: the next president will face some kind of disaster. We can't know what kind of disaster that will be, but it will be come, and it will be important that the next president have the crisis management skills for dealing with it. Of course, it's hard to assess such skills in advance, but one remaining opportunity Americans have to do so is the third and final presidential debate on October 19. Over the past two decades, this question of disaster management has come up in multiple presidential debates, and the interactions on disaster have been instructive for those who want to learn whether the next president can be effective when they are needed most.
In 1992, at the three-way presidential debate in St. Louis, journalist John Mashek asked President George H. W. Bush about a public health crisis, wondering if there was any truth to the "widespread feeling coming from that your administration is not doing enough about AIDS?" Bush talked about his administration's funding for AIDS, noting that he had requested for "10 times as much for AIDS victims as per cancer victims." He also made what would be a politically unacceptable comment today, when he said that AIDS is "one of the few diseases where behavior matters." He noted that he would be criticized for saying that, and lamented the extreme behavior of AIDS protesters, complaining, "You can't talk about it rationally."
In response, independent candidate Ross Perot said that he would work with the FDA on getting AIDS drugs out, saying "I would sit down with FDA, look at exactly where we are. Then I would really focus on 'let's get these things out.'" When Democrat Bill Clinton weighed in, he gave a detailed response that mentioned the "need to fully fund the act named for that wonderful boy, Ryan White." In this, he not only made the Ryan White Act, which provided AIDS treatment funding, seem real to people, but he managed to get in a dig at Bush. Bush, surprisingly, neglected to mention the act, even though it passed under his signature and he could have taken credit for it. This one exchange effectively captured the candidates: President Bush was well-intentioned, but soft on the details and defensive; Perot was a blustery candidate who thought he could solve problems by the force of his personality; and Clinton was a master of policy detail who knew how to explain things in ways the American people could understand.
Eight years later, when Bush's son George W. was on the ballot, he was asked about his experience facing disasters as governor of Texas. Bush showed that he understood that disasters were a proving ground for leaders: "It's the time to test your mettle, a time to test your heart." Former Vice President Al Gore came back with an answer about how he went to the site of the Texas wildfires Bush had referred to with FEMA head James Lee Witt. Gore had not done so, and the remark contributed to the general—and damaging—impression of him as a serial exaggerator.
In 2004, in the first presidential debate following the 9/11 terror attacks, President Bush was asked if he thought that the election of his opponent Sen. John Kerry would make another attack more likely. Bush responded in detail the successes that his administration had made up to that point in the war on terror. The answer highlighted his resolute nature: "I made some tough decisions. But people know where I stand." Kerry, who needed to show his own form of toughness to a skeptical and worried American public, came back with an answer that second-guessed Bush across the board on the war on terror, especially regarding Iraq and Afghanistan. As Kerry put it, "This president has made, I regret to say, a colossal error of judgment. And judgment is what we look for in the President of the United States of America." Kerry's answer might have gone over well today, but at the time, the American people apparently did not want the entirety of their war on terror strategy questioned.
Another kind of disaster came up in a subsequent Bush-Kerry debate, the potential for a major flu outbreak. Moderator Bob Schieffer asked Bush why the U.S. was facing a severe flu vaccine shortage that year. Bush seemed prepared for the question, and explained that a British company had been providing half of the U.S. flu vaccine, and their vaccine became contaminated, leading to a limited supply. Bush added a plea to healthy people to forego the vaccine that year in favor of those more vulnerable—making him look presidential—and further explained that out of control litigation was discouraging U.S. manufacturers from getting into the vaccine business.
In response, Kerry failed to mention the flu vaccine issue at all, but instead criticized the U.S. health care system as a whole, highlighting the number of Americans in key swing states who lacked health insurance (Ohio, Arizona and Wisconsin). He had a point about the lack of insurance, something that became a central issue in Barack Obama's 2008 victory, but the timing was not right for it in response to a vaccine question. Bush responded with a tough rebuke: "I want to remind people listening tonight that a plan is not a litany of complaints."
A host of factors determined the outcomes of each of these races. But these disaster query moments did help to cut through a lot of the exterior noise and capture something about the essential nature of the candidates on stage, and their leadership styles. Hopefully, the moderators for the last debate in the 2016 cycle will see fit to ask similarly revealing questions.
