![]() He also thought she should invite her esteemed R&B sista-friends, Patti LaBelle and Dionne Warwick, to cut the song with her. He was so moved by the performance that he suggested she record “Superwoman” for her first solo album for the label. One night, when she was doing the song on stage, MCA exec Louil Silas Jr. All I could think about was my mom when I sang that song.” The Gladys Knight, Patti LaBelle, and Dionne Warwick versionīut while the tune was an emotional challenge for White, one that she pulled off in a profoundly affecting way, it was right in the pocket for Knight who had, at the time, been twice married and divorced. How I made it work for me is, I remember my mom was a superwoman. I wasn’t necessarily that woman in ‘Superwoman.’ I wasn’t married I wasn’t necessarily mentally. ![]() So I had to find my own vibe for the song. “It was sounding a little country,” White said to the Minneapolis Star-Tribune. White, who recorded the song when she was in her 20s, could barely relate to the sentiment. As she sings, “This girl needs more than occasional hugs as a token of love from you to me.” The song – written by the hot production duo of Antonio “L.A.” Reid and Kenny “Babyface” Edmonds, along with “silent partner” Daryl Simmons – plays like one woman’s passionate renegotiation of the emotional terms of her relationship. One number that Gladys Knight was incorporating into the new set was “Superwoman,” the hit 1989 ballad by R&B newcomer Karyn White. “I didn’t want to come out and do a ‘Gladys Knight and the Pips – without The Pips – show,’” she told the Los Angeles Times. As she told the Michigan Citizen, “the group is, so to speak, suspended.” Knight, an always popular attraction on the road, continued to tour, but she tweaked her show, adding and cutting songs so that audiences would understand her new direction. There were a couple of years in the late 70s when contractual issues kept them from performing together, but for many hit-filled decades, Gladys Knight and The Pips had gone together like sweet potatoes and pie.Īfter the 1987 album, All For Love, their first for the MCA label, Knight decided she wanted to go at it alone. By 1990, Gladys Knight – whose rich, sometimes raspy vocals cut to the nerve of a song – had been performing with her family backing group the Pips since impressing folks at an Atlanta birthday party in 1952.

Jump forward to January 2016 and the first LE machines began to arrive in Europe. It was also announced that Stern Pinball would be assembling the games, first at their Melrose Park factory, and then at their new Elk Grove Village facility. Those 1,000 LEs sold out in just a few hours, and so a Standard Edition was introduced at the same price but minus a couple of bells and whistles. There would be 1,000 Limited Edition models produced, with delivery expected in spring 2014. The purchase price was five dollars short of $8,000 – a not inconsiderable sum, but well below the price at which original Medieval Madness games were changing hands at the time. Matt Christiano unveils the remake of Medieval Madness The intention to build a new version of Medieval Madness was announced at Pinball Expo in 2013. Nevertheless, it’s fascinating to see how technology has advanced in the intervening period, and how faithful a reproduction Chicago Gaming Company have created. ![]() Produced a little over eighteen years after the original, this remake of Medieval Madness hardly compares to the forty-five years between the two Gottlieb machines. The last time we did an In-Depth Review of a remake was for Retro Pinball’s King of Diamonds. ![]() ![]() Welcome to the Pinball News In-Depth Review of Chicago Gaming Company’s Medieval Madness Remake. ![]() It’s essential to scrutinize the quality, design, and engineering of any pool table you’re considering for your space. ![]() What to Look for in a Quality Convertible Pool Table To create an instant gaming table, simply remove the table leaves and slide the matching chairs/bench seats aside or under the table. A convertible table can be transformed into a dining or conference table in minutes to support a client meeting, luncheon, or romantic dinner.Īffordability – The two-in-one design of a convertible billiards table provides exceptional value, eliminating the need to invest in separate furniture pieces. ![]() It’s also ideal for homes with kids and pets-the convertible tabletop protects the delicate felt surface against dirty hands (and paws).Īesthetic flexibility – A well-constructed billiards table is an artistic piece of furniture, but it’s not appropriate for every situation. It’s an ideal space-saving solution for smaller apartments and homes, game rooms, and office suites. Transformable design – A convertible pool dining table is essentially two pieces of furniture in one. The result is a perfectly smooth dining top that is virtually indistinguishable from a traditional table.Īnd when it’s game time, our conversion dining pool table combos provide a genuine billiards experience that meet the standards of the Billiard Congress of America.Īdvantages of a Convertible Pool/Dining Table When you need a full table for family meals or dinner parties, the sections merge seamlessly into one solid piece.

Third, THDA seems to have all three magic abilities of pure vitamin C: it gives antioxidant protection from both UVB and UVA rays, it increases collagen synthesis (even more than AA) and it has a skin brightening effect by reducing melanogenesis by more than 80% in human melanoma cell cultures. There is also in-vitro data showing that it converts to AA in the skin. So great in fact, that it surpasses the penetration of pure vitamin C threefold at the same concentration and it penetrates successfully into the deeper layers of the skin (that is usually important to do some anti-aging work). Second, because it's oil-soluble, its skin penetration abilities seem to be great. First, it is stable (if pH < 5), easy to formulate, and a joy to work with for a cosmetic chemist. With this context in mind let's see what THDA might be able to do. In addition, vitamin C's three magic properties (antioxidant, collagen booster, skin brightener) are all properly proven in-vivo (on real people), but for the derivatives, it's mostly in-vitro studies or in the case of THDA, it's in-vitro and done by an ingredient supplier. Of course, I give this product 5 out of 5.It's a really promising candidate (see below), but while reading all the goodness about it in a minute, do not forget that derivatives not only have to be absorbed into the skin but also have to be converted to pure vitamin C (ascorbic acid or AA) and the efficacy of the conversion is often unknown. Notice how her dark circles have disappeared after the entire shebang. She did not want to smile for the camera. Do NOT spread it across your undereye as this will only swipe off the product.īelow is the before and after makeover picture of my friend Joe. This will allow the product to settle on your skin. You may immediately proceed to applying your foundation (liquid, mousse, gel or powder) over the corrector.Īpply a small amount of the corrector using a concealer brush under your eyes then dab it gently with your pinky finger. So what if you are not a professional makeup artist and/or you don’t have skin blotches to counter? How can this product work for you then? You know those dark circles under your eyes? These correctors can magically erase them and even out your skin color! You don’t even need to put on a concealer after. I’ve actually brought a couple of friends, workshop students and avid clients to him as well! The Bobbi Brown corrector is, hands down, number one in The Makeup Den’s must-have list.Īnna’s wedding paved the way for many more makeup bookings! Two of her friends who saw her walk down the aisle became my regular clients as well. I’ve personally bought a number of corrector pots from him already in my 4-5 years of working as a makeup artist. To know the right shade for you, go ask Dennis of Bobbi Brown, Shangri-la Mall EDSA. ![]() They come in different shades – peach, bisque, warm, medium warm, warm natural, natural, etc. Since then, I’ve discovered the power of Bobbi Brown’s correctors. I had to remove it so I could try on my last resort: the Bobbi Brown Peach Corrector. I dabbed on a minute amount of orange corrector from a quite famous French brand on the affected area. ![]() In makeup school, we were taught to counter bruises, veins and other bluish blemishes with an orange corrector. I knew I had to correct the skin color then conceal it. She might have put on too much because even though the ointment dried up the zit, her skin turned reddish then bluish black!Īnna, if you’re reading this, I can now admit to you that at that very moment, I seriously did NOT know what to do! I obviously couldn’t panic in front of a client but at the back of my mind, I was already calling all the makeup gods for HELP! Apparently, she tried to cure a zit the night before with a prescribed ointment. ![]() In fact, I think this corrector saved, no, jump-started my career as a makeup artist! □ĭuring one of my wedding gigs, I got the surprise of a lifetime when Anna, the dear bride, showed me a dark blotch that had appeared on her lower left cheek. If there’s one product I personally could not live without, it’s Bobbi Brown’s Peach Corrector! They say that every makeup artist has a secret weapon. Yeah, that would be certainly one aspect. PC's are less stylish, almost as fast, cost a lot less and have a longer life. So in a nutshell if you are a light user then a Mac M1/2 is stylish and fast but expensive and have a lot fewer options. I can't do any of that with the M1/M2 macs. The RAM, the hard drives (all to SSD's) and had my MAC repaired. Also all the items cost a lot less than for a Mac (and I have choices). I have several Mac Book-Pro's and a MAC Pro (The old silver crate) however I have now moved to PC's where *everything* is individually up-gradable. How you sort out licensees for other apps that didn't come via Apple I don't know. Of course if you use Apple back-up and buy ALL your apps from the Apple store you can recover them to a new computer. Then you have the problem is that if the internal hard drive fails (or anything else fails) you are screwed anyway. Though 2nd hand M1/2 macs are not going to have any resale value. Most will fail in years 4-6.įor many users just using their Macs for office use, light weight apps that are not using vast amounts of memory like video editing does, it won't be a problem. The discussion decided that the numbers of heavy video users that only have 8/16GB RAM will be small so Apple will live with any that fail in the 3 year Apple care program. Various tests by video editing users have determined that their M1/M2 MACS with 8 or 16GB RAM will probably die in about 2 - 3 years. The problem is even with wear leveling lots of paging is cutting into the life of the drive. for an M1 or M2 MAC with a small amount of memory eg 8/16GB it appears to have amazing performance because it is using a lot of virtual memory on very fast flash memory drives. So you don't get a drive dying because 100 sectors have maxed out and die where the other 500 have sectors near zero use. most flash memory ie better more expensive SDHC cards, all SSD drives and M.2 drive all have wear levelign that ensures all sectors get the same or similar use. Flash memory as used on SSD's M.2 memory etc is Flash memory that has a far far lower write/read/erase or re-write life than magnetic spinning hard disks (and even those have a finite life). However there is a problem RAM is design to change state often but retains no memory. These days with the advent of much faster hard drives indeed moving to SSD's and M2's along with anything up to 128GB RAM things have got faster. Most general purpose computers still use paging and virtual memory. This paging was slower than just using RAM but enabled large working spaces. At one time a PC main RAM maxed at, wait for it, 512KB!! Hard disks were slow spinning disks. The problem is that when an M1 or M2 mac runs out or RAM it pages to virtual memory on the hard drive. My profession is an embedded systems engineer (I do both hardware and SW development) The problems of the M1/M2 macs have been discussed at length in other forums. Meaning in short, that the 512GB SSD has/offers a faster data transfer, which in turn might be recognized when for example swapping huge amount of datas between RAM and SSD memory (. ![]() so the point here is, that a 256 GB SSD with just one NAND chip is transfering data slower than for example a embedded 512 GB SSD with two NAND chips who are operating in parallel here. However, it is obvious that you can read data twice as fast with two thumb drives than with just one. In both cases your total capacity is the same. ![]() ![]() imagine you have one thumb drive with 256GB capacity or two with each 128GB, but all other technical specs (i.e. Having two storage modules allows the computer to access both at the same time. An end user never sees this while using a Mac, since the storage is simply presented as the total capacity. The "old" M1 MacBook Air had 2x128GB to achieve the total 256GB storage, the new one only has one 256GB NAND chip, while the 512GB model has 2x256GB. SSDs are made up of so called storage modules ( NAND chips). ![]() AIR OPTIX ® COLORS Color Studio offers a virtual experience with 9 different color contact lenses available to try on, making it an easy way to find the color that best fits you.
