Very nice major league debut for Justin Grimm. 6 innings, 6 hits allowed, 7 Ks, no walks, 3 runs (including a solo home run). Per Joey Matches, he's just the 11th pitcher to strike out at least seven and walk no one in his major league debut. He's also just the third Ranger pitcher to strike out at least seven in his major league debut (Don Stanhouse, Paul Mirabella, and David Clyde are the others). He showed a swing-and-miss breaking ball, commanded his fastball well, and showed good composure on the mound. The Astros hit him hard from time to time -- aside from the home run, he also allowed three doubles -- but he continued to battle and throw strikes, and ended up doing better in his first major league appearance than any of us likely expected he would.
Our SB Nation sister site Lone Star Ball gives former Diamond Dog Justin Grimm his due following his first major league start. Go 'Dawgs!The Georgia Bulldogs lost three members of their pitching staff to the major league baseball draft. A trio of Red and Black signees also were selected by professional clubs.
The Georgia Bulldogs opened the final series of their dismal 2010 baseball season with a home win over the surging Kentucky Wildcats on Thursday night.
The Georgia Bulldogs carried an improbable 3-2 lead into the ninth inning against division-leading Florida on Friday night, but two errors in the Gators' final turn at the plate caused the Diamond Dogs to drop the 2010 baseball season's latest one-run game.
The Georgia Bulldogs' bats at long last came to life in a midweek baseball showdown with the high-powered Georgia State Panthers. The Diamond Dogs prevailed in a Foley Field shootout by a 13-9 final margin.
The Georgia Bulldogs will face the Georgia State Panthers in the last midweek outing of the 2010 baseball season this Tuesday night. Dawg Sports explains why the confrontation of the Diamond Dogs' pitching staff with the GSU batting order is a bad matchup for the Red and Black.
In a pitchers' duel on Friday night, the Tennessee Volunteers' Stephen McCray got the better of the Georgia Bulldogs' Justin Grimm. The Vols emerged victorious from their series-opening baseball game, beating the Diamond Dogs 4-1.
The Georgia Bulldogs took a 4-2 lead on the Vanderbilt Commodores in Saturday's SEC baseball game. Naturally, a rain delay then caused play to be halted, providing additional evidence of the malevolence of Fate to the denizens of Bulldog Nation.
The 2010 baseball season has been disastrous for the Georgia Bulldogs. What have the Diamond Dogs done to prepare their slumping pitching staff for the 2011 campaign?
The Georgia Bulldogs held the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets scoreless in eight of nine innings in Tuesday night's baseball series finale at Turner Field, yet the Diamond Dogs still fell in a 6-4 setback.

Every Day Tasks A Challenge For Those With Muscular Dystrophyfrom Eyewitness News Online Reported by: Katelyn Sykes Web Producer: Katelyn Sykes Also Contributing: Bethany Simmons Reported: Sep. 3, 2013 1:03 PM EDT
, Kanawha County
, West Virginia
WCHS aired the Muscular Dystrophy Association's "Show of Strength Telethon" Sunday night. The annual show's goal is to raise money and awareness on a national level to support MDA's mission of helping children and adults affected by progressive and often fatal muscle diseases. In honor of the telethon, we're taking a look at some local families affected by MDA, and sharing their stories with you. For 28-year old Cassy Bays, 28, everyday tasks can pose a challenge. "It's very difficult," she said. Cassy is confined to a wheelchair and gets help breathing through a ventilator. At three years old, she was diagnosed with a very rare form of muscular dystrophy called nemaline myopathy, a congenital, hereditary neuromuscular disorder that causes muscle weakness. Her mother, Twylla, said she knew there was something different about her daughter so they traveled the Tri-State area to find out what. "We just thought that she was very prissy when she was little because she did everything - she just did it slower than normal," Twylla said. "She fell a lot, but she walked and she talked and she rode a bike. She swam she danced and she did cheerleading." But Cassy's life changed forever when she was seven years old. "I got sick and, at seven, I had a stroke," she said. Cassy developed microplasma pneumonia and had a stroke. She was in the hospital for several months. "She's been on a ventilator for 21 years and she has lost the ability to feed herself, to dress herself to do anything for herself," he mother said. "I do everything for her." But she still has some mobility in her right hand, so she can run her wheelchair and play games on the computer. Cassy's mother said even though she is confined to a wheelchair, they don't let that stop them from enjoying life and do everything they used to do before she got sick. "Just have faith and never change your life," Twylla said. "Just do whatever you did normally. It might be a little harder but we got to swim with the dolphins last year. I mean, we do whatever we want to do and it is harder but it's worth it in the end." And through the struggles of daily life, Cassy wants everyone to remember one thing. "One day at a time," she said. MORE NEWS FROM EYEWITNESS NEWS

The United States opened the World Under 18 Championships with a loss to Sweden on Tuesday. Minnesota Duluth recruit Justin Faulk had an assist. This release from USA Hockey:
BOBRUISK, Belarus – Despite jumping out to a 2-0 lead, the United States fell to Sweden 4-2 Tuesday in its opening game at the 2010 International Ice Hockey Federation World Men's Under-18 Championship.
"Obviously, we're disappointed with the result, especially since we were in a position to get it done with a 2-0 lead," said Kurt Kleinendorst, head coach of Team USA. "To not get it done is difficult, but this is one game and it's a long tournament. We'll have to regroup tomorrow. It's time to push back."
Chase Balisy (Fullerton, Calif.) put Team USA on the board with a power-play goal just 3:36 into the game. Balisy took a feed from Matt Nieto (Long Beach, Calif.) and wired the puck from the right side into the top of the net. U.S. goaltender Jack Campbell (Port Huron, Mich.) turned aside all 10 shots he faced in the opening frame to keep Sweden at bay.
The U.S. picked up another early-period goal when Stephen Johns (Wampum, Pa.) found Brandon Saad (Gibsonia, Pa.), who took the puck around a defender at the Sweden blue line, cut to the middle and slid a quick shot from the high slot through netminder Johan Gustafsson at 2:26 of the middle stanza. Sweden cut the deficit in half with a power-play goal off the stick of Johan Larsson, who slipped the puck through Campbell's legs at the 13:32 mark.
Sweden took control in the final frame, scoring three unanswered goals to dash Team USA's hopes of a first-game win. Henri Snall netted the game-tying goal at 6:29, when he jammed home Max Friberg's cross-crease feed. Just 2:45 later, Larsson tipped Petter Granberg's right-point shot out of mid air and past the blocker of Campbell. Sweden ensured victory when Larsson potted an empty-net goal with 19 seconds remaining.
Campbell made 26 saves on the night.
The U.S. Men's National Under-18 Team will take on Switzerland on Wednesday at 7:30 a.m. CDT)at Bobruisk Arena.

Thorne Research D-5000™ -- 60 Vegetarian Capsules
Thorne is known for purity!
1. I have responded well to any Thorne product I've used
2. Thorne has a verifiable reputation for purity, the testing of their products reveals that what it says the ingredients/amounts are is what it really is
June 24, 2013
Much smaller than I expected, which is good!
The capsules are smaller than the previous brand I was using, and I only take it ONCE a day. The previous brand was a much bigger capsule and it was twice a day. This seemed to be the best choice for vegetarian capsules.
February 1, 2013
Thorne products are top of the line
I have been using this product for years. I purchase most of Thorne Research products because of their purity and quality.

Darkmoon Monkey
Binds when picked up
Use: Teaches you how to summon this companion.
Beats on chest and scratches backside.
Pit-pattering footsteps; vocalizations (on-click)
As of Patch 4.3, the Darkmoon Faire has moved to its very own zone. Tickets earned prior to the patch are unusable.
The new Darkmoon Prize Tickets are obtainable through Darkmoon Faire profession-based quests, dailies, and turning in Darkmoon Faire Artifacts. Check out our Community Guide: Darkmoon Prize Tickets for more information.
I've got this one for free, it was enclosed in the green package by a Darkmoon ticket, after I finished the Ring Toss quest on the faire.. I'm very happy!
Hated going against Fezwick, the epic one of these from the DMF pet battle. The banana move just seemed so OP. He could get about 5 hits out of it over two rounds, while I couldn't fight back.
Sure is nice being able to pull one of these guys out against any critter though :)
The monkey saw a doctor wear the Fez...
Love this guy! renamed mine Tommy Cooper due to the Fez :)
Excellent choice for a Darkmoon purchase. Barrel Toss usually results in a two round kill.
Just picked him up for pretty cheap off the AH. As far as I know they have increased his size, or at least in my opinion he's not nearly as small as the other comments would have us (or maybe only me) believe. Average size for a pet, really, and totally cute with his fez.
He's pretty cool, as monkey pets are nearly non-existent, but he's incredibly tiny. Five or so of these guys would fit inside a creepy crate.
You can show him a whole new world outside of the Faire!
Although this will be the first Darkmoon Faire pet I'll get because, as stated earlier, Fezzes are cool.

8 Responses to "Block Party Quilt Along tutorial"
This is a great block and also a great way to start with a "friendship" block. Cool that you used five different fabrics.
HI there!
I just stumbled upon your blog today, and I fell in love with it! You do AMAZING work! Thanks for inspiring me today.
Now time to put this computer away and get cleaning. Sigh… I could read these blogs all day. Couldn't you?!?!

A suprapubic catheter (tube) drains urine from your bladder. It is inserted into your bladder through a small hole in your belly. You may need a catheter because you have urinary incontinence (leakage), urinary retention (not being able to urinate), surgery that made a catheter necessary, or another health problem.
Your catheter will make it easier for you to drain your bladder and avoid infections. You will need to make sure it is working properly. You will also need to know how to change it. You will need to change it every 4 to 6 weeks.
You can learn how to change your catheter in a sterile (very clean) way. After some practice, it will get easier. Your doctor will change it for you the first time.
Sometimes family members, a nurse, or others may be able to help you change your catheter.
Your doctor will give you a prescription to buy special catheters at a medical supply store. Other supplies you will need are sterile gloves, a catheter pack, syringes, sterile solution to clean with, gel such as K-Y Jelly or Surgilube (do NOT use Vaseline), and a drainage bag. Your doctor may also give you medicine for your bladder.
Drink 8 to 12 glasses of water every day for a few days after you change your catheter. Avoid physical activity for a week or two. It is best to keep the catheter taped to your belly.
Once your catheter is in place, you will need to empty your bag only a few times a day.
See also: Urine drainage bags
Follow these guidelines for good health and skin care:
You will need to check your catheter and bag throughout the day.
You will need to change the catheter about every 4 to 6 weeks. Always wash your hands with soap and water before changing it.
Once you have your sterile supplies ready, lie down on your back. Put on two pairs of sterile gloves, one over the other. Then:
If you are having trouble changing your catheter, call your doctor right away. Insert a catheter into your urethra through your urinary opening in your labia (women) or penis (men) to pass urine. Do NOT remove the suprapubic catheter because the hole can close up quickly.

MAGIC 2010: Super-smart robots wanted for international challenge
- Date:
- 8 November, 2010 13 November, 2010
- Location:
- Australia
The Defence Science & Technology Organisation (DSTO) in Australia and the Research Development & Engineering Command (RDECOM) in USA are taking the lead in organising MAGIC 2010.
- MAGIC 2010 an international event
The Multi Autonomous Ground-robotic International Challenge (MAGIC 2010) is jointly sponsored by the Australian and US Departments of Defence to attract innovative proposals from worldwide research organisations to develop next-generation fully autonomous ground vehicle systems that can be deployed effectively in military operations and civilian emergency situations.
What's the challenge?
The challenge requires competitors to submit proposals demonstrating the use of multi-vehicle robotic teams that can execute an intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance mission in a dynamic urban environment.
Shortlisted competitors will need to field cooperatives of unmanned vehicle prototypes with the ability to autonomously and dynamically coordinate, plan and carry out tasks against changing priorities.
To complete the challenge competitors must: (i) accurately and completely explore and map the challenge area; (ii) correctly locate, classify and recognise all simulated threats; and (iii) complete all phases within 3.5 hours. The challenge event will be conducted in Australia during November 2010.
The challenge is open to national and international organisations from industry and academia. Government organisations are not eligible.
Time Table
MAGIC 2010 will be conducted in two phases:
- Initial shortlisting of ten teams based on their proposals - 30 October 2009.

The Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) has one hell of a story to tell with the main event of its UFC on FUEL TV 8: "Silva vs. Stann" fight card scheduled for later on this evening (March 2, 2013) at the Saitama Super Arena in Saitama, Japan.
That's because Wanderlei Silva is coming home.
Indeed, "The Axe Murderer" spilled more enemy blood on Japanese soil than he ever has stateside. It was over in "The Land of the Rising Sun" that the Brazilian became the legend he is today, having conquered the Pride FC promotion before coming back to America where he's struggled mightily.
Now, he'll battle an "All-American" hero in Brian Stann, whose tale has been told perhaps a few too many times but remains effective with each telling. We know the sacrifices he's made for his country but the question now is whether or not he can exchange fire with the heavy artillery Silva will bring to the cage.
Both men are battle tested. Both are battle worn, too. Whose flag will wave high when all is said and done?
Stay tuned.

Awaiting for the arrival of the 2013 MBA
Ahoy there! Just wondering if anyone else is super excited for 2013 MBA because I sure am! It'll be my first Macintosh computer and I've been doing so much research that I desire to have one now but good things come to those who wait (depending on the circumstance of course). Anywho, feel free to leave a post if you're also partaking this voyage of discovery!

I'm waiting, mainly because I'm not that desperate for a MBA at the moment and my windows computer is soldiering on for now.
I have had a MBP before but didn't really like the size of it, but the MBA now appeals to me! Hoping the 2013 ones have the Haswell chipset and I'll most likely be getting the 8GB upgrade of RAM and I'm still mulling over the 256GB SSD upgrade but I have a time capsule already so - That might not happen. Hoping it comes out mid-june because I'm in the US at that time (from the UK) and hoping to get myself a little bit of discount ordering the BTO to the hotel

Praying the Psalms: Psalm 19
The Psalmist is saying that when we walk outside and look up, the heavens are telling us two things about God: they tell us about his glory, and they tell us about what his hands can do.
The Resource Finder has powerful filtering features — check out the tutorial to learn more.
The Psalmist is saying that when we walk outside and look up, the heavens are telling us two things about God: they tell us about his glory, and they tell us about what his hands can do.
Some people who brook no "god of the gaps" arguments anywhere else look to these three moments as more reasonable places to insert God into natural processes: God spoke matter/energy into existence, God made life out of lifeless matter, and God breathed a soul into human beings.
Scripture gives us multiple ways of looking at things, and a classic example of this is the parables of Jesus. Many of these involve looking at nature. For example, natural events like seeds growing—and what Jesus seems to be saying is look there is a surface reading of nature—and then there is the deeper reading, where you begin to realize there are levels of meaning that we don't pick up on our first acquaintance.
As a Christian, I can't think of a more beautiful process for God to have blessed the production of the elements that we need for life than the beauty of stars. In fact, we are told that we shine like stars in the universe.
We can understand why man, modern man in particular, would like to mop the floors and bleach the walls. We might not be able to tame reality, but we can tame our perception of reality. We intellectualize in order to feel in control.
"For a few moments, it felt like our little church community was surrounded by glory. The wisdom of Christ in the hypothalamus was illumining the wisdom of Christ in the prophets and gospels."
What can a practicing scientist in the 21st century—even a "bench scientist" like me whose scientific forays are confined to a laboratory—glean from a 19th century wanderer like Thoreau?
As I read The Voyage, I often thought about Darwin's other famous work, The Origin of Species, and the delight that Darwin clearly took in the natural world. Writing about a tropical forest in Brazil, he found himself at a loss for words, "…it is not possible to give an adequate idea of the higher feelings of wonder, astonishment, and devotion, which fill and elevate the mind."
Considering my own stance on the satisfying harmony of science and faith, you might be surprised to find on my shelves nearly everything written by Richard Dawkins (including "The God Delusion") and my late friend Christopher Hitchens (including "God Is Not Great"). One must dig deeply into opposing points of view in order to know whether your own position remains defensible. Iron sharpens iron.
How do metaphors impact the dialogue between faith and science? We might start by asking: what are the framing metaphors at work in the current debates? Even using the word "dialogue" here suggests an implicit metaphor that frames my approach to the relationship between faith and science. Imagine substituting "dialogue" with "war;" that would conjure a completely different metaphorical framework.
These excerpts from Origins: Christian Perspectives on Creation, Evolution, and Intelligent Design, written by BioLogos president Deborah Haarsma and her husband Loren Haarsma, offer a sampling of the book's many topics, from exploring our disagreements and agreements on origins as Christians to explaining scientific processes to looking at how we read Genesis.
With so many issues to discuss, Christians can easily get the feeling that science is always attacking the faith. It is essential to balance such conversations with positive responses to God's creation. After all, the primary response to the natural world in the Bible is to praise the God who made it.
In this video Conversation, Denis Alexander asserts that contemporary Christians are not taking the early chapters of Genesis seriously enough.
Although committed to the principle of sola Scriptura, Calvin recognized that the Bible would have been written in terms its original recipients would have understood. Calvin inherited the medieval cosmology of his time, a way of viewing the world heavily influenced by Greek thought and one which was about to receive shocks from astronomers such as Copernicus and Galileo. But not just yet.
God shows himself not just in the orderliness of nature, but powerfully, joyously and always surprisingly in its beautiful "non-order" as well.
Augustine had a great deal to say about those chapters in Genesis that are especially controversial within Christianity today.
In this series, David Buller pays careful attention to the original language and cultural context of Genesis 2, revealing that our responsibility to care for creation is a sacred task given to us by God, not merely a modern secular activity. By taking Scripture seriously, we learn that we have a God-given mandate to be diligent stewards of His creation.
This ongoing series written by historian Ted Davis begins with a brief synopsis of his personal background, and then goes on to reveal his passion for debunking "the now-common view that the history of science and Christianity is one of ongoing, inevitable conflict."
We tend to think of creativity in terms of flashes of insight and brilliance, of novelty, and especially of unexpected things bursting upon the scene. But creativity is no less creative and no less remarkable when it proceeds step by step, according to discipline, according to rule.

I always enjoy covering the Savannah Music Festival. It provides me with an opportunity to attend concerts and take photos of bands and musicians that I am not very familiar with. I was especially excited about the chance to take pictures of the Avett Brothers performance at the Johnny Mercer Theatre. Though this was not the Band's first visit to the Savannah Music Festival, I have only recently begun listening to their music.

Another St. Patrick's Day is in the books. If there is anything that I have learned from covering the past eleven St. Patrick's Day Parades, it is to expect a long day, a big crowd, a little craziness and to be prepared for anything. While I have the experience of past parades to draw from, it seems I always feel as though I am not getting the shots that I would like. This year was no different.

I have always been told that it is not the destination; it is the journey. The problem is, how do you relate that to high school athletes following a season-ending loss? I have been on the sideline for many playoff games and it doesn't matter if it is the first round or the finals--that last loss is always painful for the athletes, no matter the sport. For many their playing days will not continue past graduation, so every moment on the playing field with teammates is a...

It seems you can't turn on your radio and television or even log onto Facebook without being showered with quotes from or comments about Charlie Sheen. Since his radio rant last week, all kinds of TV shows have had him on to take advantage of the ratings boost. Someone I was talking with last night equated it to gladiators in the Roman Coliseum: we all have a ringside seat as a celebrity battles for his sanity through struggles with addiction.

On Saturday, my workday started off with a trip to the Savannah Civic Center for the annual Savannah Irish Heritage Festival. As with all festivals, it takes a few minutes to get my bearings and a direction. I immediately saw a photo opportunity when I found a young boy enjoying a lollipop while listening to live music from the main stage with his family.

As I watched Super Bowl XLV, I couldn't help but remember my own experience of taking pictures six years ago, to the day, at Super Bowl XXXIX in Jacksonville.

In my previous blog, I talked about the web of confusion surrounding photo copyright on some of the popular photo-upload sites. The big issue with most sites is the Terms of Service (T.O.S.), which you automatically agree to by utilizing the site.

However, be cautious as they all have differing restrictions on usage. With...

The growth of the World Wide Web and Social Media sites has given photographers more opportunities and choices when it comes to sharing photos and self-promotion. However you may be giving others the chance to copy, use and distribute your images without the site giving you compensation or credit.

After a Holiday vacation, I will be picking up my camera and returning to work this week for the first time in 2011. Looking back on 2010, I had a lot of fun and interesting assignments including the Circus, B.B. King, and State Championship games. I drove around looking for remnants of the first real snowfall the area has seen in years and I followed the President during his visit. I took pictures of Memorial Services and funeral of former Savannah State president, Prince Jackson. All in all,...

This was a great year for sports in the Savannah area. The Savannah Christian girls' basketball team reached the State championship game before coming up short against Wesleyan. The Savannah Sand Gnats reached the post season for the first time since 1996, after winning the first half championship. Georgia Southern made a run through the post season, advancing to the semi-finals thanks in part to the triple option offense making a triumphant return.

"Anonymous Gallery is proud to combine three generations of prolific artists whose work has been influenced by, or has directly influenced popular culture, design, and the urban environment." NYC |
SAN FRANCISCO --- This morning's KQED Forum focused a portion of its show on the subject of artists in the city:
Soaring rents have hit art galleries in downtown San Francisco hard. Last month, several long-established Geary Street galleries were evicted to make way for a software firm. Meanwhile, individual artists are also struggling. As part of our Priced Out series on the high cost of living in the Bay Area, we look at how the local art world is coping.
As of this AM, it's not online yet, but soon you should be able to listen HERE.
Art is always a struggle, but this is getting ridiculous. Sure there are a lot of art schools here, but graduating students leave the city faster than you can say student loan. This drying up of young talented artists is dampening SF's dynamic art scene.
But hey, it's a city, and we know that cities are always in a state of flux... Guess the problem many are facing is, this is happening so fast and so violent. We can hear the "fabric" of the city tearing, and for the sake of San Francisco and it's future, better hope the tech industry isn't as speculative as the first DOT COM and any conceivable economic downslide not as painful... but no worries, the artists will come back and help rebuild any potential mess like they always do.

Gwyneth Paltrow is really flat. Likewise for Natalie Portman.
Big breasts aren't mandatory for Hollywood. But like IceAlisa said, if they don't want women with breast implants, why did they give Keira digital breast implants for the movie publicity materials?
Personally I wouldn't put Bullock, Kidman, Paltrow, and Portman in the same category as Hudson and Knightly. Knightly and Hudson (particularly Hudson) are fairly flat. The other four aren't at all IMO.
I purposefully didn't add Paltrow and Hudson to my list because they have major insider connections (ie: famous actor parents) to make it in Hollywood despite their chest size. The others aren't as well-connected and had to do it more on talent alone.
In my spare time, I like to interview figure skating legends.
I worked in summer stock the summer after high school.
After one dress rehearsal, the director gave a note listing which female cast members should paint their cleavage. It was all the women whose costumes didn't cover it up.
So, yeah.
It's show business, they worry about how all kinds of things look. It's certainly not just breasts.
I was watching Gerard Butler on Leno last night and he was telling stories of how they had to glue his left ear down for Tomb Raider because it stuck out further than his right ear. And on cold days the glue wouldn't stick so his makeup artist would spend the entire day cupping her hands around his head between takes.
I seriously doubt that a normal person would have noticed that. I barely notice Stephen Colbert's wonky ear.
I just read a Cosmo article on how to make it look like you have more cleavage with make-up.. so it's not just in movies
The makeup for filming and/or photoshopping for posters is also likely to look more "real" than those oversized, melon-shaped post-implant breasts (although perhaps after more than a decade of seeing so many of them, a good portion of the population thinks that's what natrual breasts look like).
I'm thinking that the pirate wench costumes are unforgiving of the telltale signs that breast implants create, and the costume department doesn't want to have to deal with it this time.

The roller ball concealer is a great concept. However, I just didn't find the execution to be great. The concealer would dry a bit on the ball, meaning there would be little crusty bits that would get rolled onto the skin with the fresher stuff. Just didn't work well for me.
I really loved the BB cream so I figured why not try the concealar. No joke, I used the product (lightly) literally 5 times and it was gone. The amount of product didn't really bother me as much as how poor of a concealer it was. It was literally orange. Gross. Never again. I wish I would have purchased this from a makeup store that would take this awful product back.
I love this product! I was previously using Garnier's miracle dark shadow eraser which was a quick fix that lasted about an hour. This product, on the other hand, keeps the dark eye effect at bay until I am ready to go to sleep! The smooth application is refreshing and I feel extra confident when I leave the house. Thanks Marcelle!
I like it for normal days. I need a bit more coverage when my eyes are tired or I have a cold. It never looks cakey and looks natural. I use it most days.
I really love this concealer, but it ran out really fast, after only two weeks. I don't wear a tone of concealer, just under my eyes.
This concealer doesn't have the best coverage but it is nice to apply. I like the rolling ball applicator. It has a cooling effect which is nice under the eyes when they are puffy.
I had quite a bit of trouble to get the product flow to start when I first started using this product and it ended up requiring a LOT more force than it's probably supposed to. Once I finally got it to start coming though, I've had no other problems with the applicator. The coverage leaves a little to be desired for my under eye circles, but BB cream coverage is generally light and since this is a BB concealer that's not too surprising. Still, I was hoping for a little better from a concealer.
So far every product purchased from this line has been amazing! The true test was this morning...I awoke to puffy allergy eyes...this concealer did the trick! I love products which follow through with their claims. Can't go wrong here ...
I have been a long time user of a certain company for concealer for MANY years. After receiving something in one of my boxes from Marcelle BB, I decided to check out their different products. I came across this concealer and decided to try it out (i liked the whole roller ball feature). I fell in love. It goes on smoothly, lasts all day and the color matches my skin greatly. I definitely recommend this product!
This is an excellent concealer. It really blends well and doesn't end up looking like I piled a bunch of makeup on when I use it to cover up blemishes. I also use it with the Marcelle BB cream, and the two work perfectly together. My only complaint is when I try to used it under my eyes they sting my eyes a bit; I haven't had this problem with any other concealers before.

3 days 5 hours ago | Didn't need to expand the conference to do that |
I can appreciate it being convenient for UM's sizeable alumni base on the East Coast. But if that was important, why not schedule regular out of conference games there - Rutgers, Maryland, BC, Virginia, etc? For bball, it's even less important to add them, as we regularly play in NYC now (not to mention road ACC/B1G games). Instead, we get to add Rutgers home/away in bball, and only get to play teams like Indiana, Wisky, Iowa, and Purdue once. That is not a good trade, in my opinion. I will hate this move, always. I hope it falls on its face and we can spin these two schools off (Rutgers especially) to some super-duper ACC/Big East conglomerate mega-conference in 2025 or something (pipe dream, I know). |
5 days 17 hours ago | I agree it's much better -- and interesting group dynamics |
This is much better than the screwed-up policy they had last year. I do find it interesting, how for smallish groups (say 4-8 people), you may have to dump a friend/roommate who will significantly bring down your average. "Sorry, Braden. You'll have to sit with another group of people b/c you only attended two games last year." The peer pressure (to go to games) and resentment (if you are shunned) should be worth a few MGoBoard board posts. |
6 days 16 hours ago | No question it works |
Look at the top NCAA Div-1A winners of all-time: Coach K, Boeheim, Knight, Dean Smith, Rupp, Calhoun. All are/were famous for getting on refs. There's a reason for that: it works, especially when you are a respected coach, which Beilein certainly now is. I don't want him to become Knight (or Izzo or Ryan, for that matter). Hopefully, Beilein will do it judiciously, as he seems to do now (e.g., I think flipping out after they missed two obvious travels, and might have missed that charge call, makes sense to me). But I would argue that, before this season, he didn't do it enough. Because again -- it works. |
6 days 17 hours ago | No need. I'm good with |
No need. I'm good with Woodson. |
1 week 7 hours ago | I agree. But "C-Wood"? |
It was great seeing Woodson there and fun he briefly got in the photo. But does anyone really call him C-Wood? If you said "Woodson", would any UM fan, even a casual one, not know who that is? And are we calling Desmond Howard "D-Ho"? And Tom Harmon "T-Harm"? Small thing, but just seems weird to me. |
1 week 3 days ago | More to fonts than size |
Go look at that picture again. Lucky for us, the "Wolverines" and "Louisville" guys are the exact same distance/placement. You can read the "Louisville" one, but the "Wolverines" one looks decidedly more blurry. Why? The difference in font type. Louisville's is more thick and "blocky" which makes their letters more distinct. Ours looks more like an italicized, curved version of something, which doesn't work as well when the letters are already on the small size. |
1 week 3 days ago | Correct - visibility is key to uniforms |
These are fine, I guess, and aren't nearly as bad as our "hideaway numbers when exposed to sunlight" Outback Bowl jerseys. But "Wolverines" has too many letters for the amount of space with that font choice. Does adidas not care whether you can easily read what's on their jerseys? Just look at Kansas or Louisville -- you know who that is. That said, these are better than "Sic 'em Bears". Uggh. |

2 weeks 5 days ago | It's not the 1970s; U of M takes hundreds a year from CCs |
Personal experience is always helpful, but bringing the example of one person from 40 years ago doesn't show anything, one way or the other. I had two friends -- one 20 years ago and another 10 years ago -- who successfully transfered 60 credits, each, from Michigan CCs to U of M. But beyond our anecdotes, college has changed a great deal due to costs, shared degree programs, etc. For example, about a year ago UM formalized a program with Washtenaw CC to allow ease of transfer credits from both schools. More importantly, this story notes "100 students transferred from WCC; overall, 377 students transferred to U-M from community colleges (in 2012)". So you're telling me U of M has the ability to take 350-400 kids a year from CCs, yet somehow can't figure out how to have any of those kids be football players? I'm not naive. I am 100% positive some of the HS seniors we take only got into U of M b/c they are very good at football. Hopefully, they are succesful students while at U of M, but football was the reason they got in. The same standards can be applied to junior/community colleges. http://www.annarbor.com/news/new-agreement-allows-washtenaw-community-co... |
2 weeks 5 days ago | Oh, I agree it unlikely we |
Oh, I agree it unlikely we pass Syracuse (unless we go 7-0 down the strech). But my main point is I think Syracuse is far from a lock as #1 seed, as they are 50/50, at best, to win their conference. |
2 weeks 5 days ago | Syracuse locked? |
I might be misreading what Brian means by "locked", but the statement "Syracuse is locked into one spot" in Buffalo does not seem accurate, to me. Syracuse is not even #1 in the ACC standings and if they lose at Virginia, they definitely will come in 2nd. I find it hard to believe the committee will give a #1 seed to a team that finishes second in a league that has only 5 bids, and that has not exactly lit the world on fire in its last 10 games. Meanwhile, if we go 3-1/4-0 to win the B1G outright, and then get at least to the finals in the B1G tourney, I can easily see us being seeded even, if not ahead, of Syracuse. |
2 weeks 5 days ago | I know - and it's lazy reasoning |
1) We've had Juco's in the past - not very many (e.g., Russell Shaw, Austin Panter) but we've done it. 2) Beyond that, if you look at that list of Juco recruits, you'll see schools with similar academic profiles as U of M -- Cal Berkeley, Indiana, Purdue, Florida (along with UCLA and Penn State offering a couple guys, just not getting them). I find it unbelievable that those schools can figure out how to find guys whose credits transfer to their schools, but U of M is flummoxed on how to do it themselves. I can understand not being able to find many guys who qualify, but not being able find any means the coaches just aren't looking. |
2 weeks 5 days ago | Recruiting this year was mystifying |
Why we ended up being so short and knew it was quite possible we would lose Bryant is mystifying. I have brought this up before, but will keep doing so b/c with Bryant out, it increases the already high-likelihood of mgoblog posts about how young are OL is and that it is a valid excuse for Hoke if we go 7-5/8-4 this year. Here is the list of the top JC OL tackles: http://247sports.com/Season/2014-Football/CompositeRankings?InstitutionGroup=JuniorCollege&Position=OT Notice the schools who brought these folks in: Alabama, FSU, A&M, Tenn, Maryland, Arkansas, Indiana and hey...Michigan State (two of them)! When you have lack of experience/size/depth at a position, and scholarships to use, you should do something about it, especially when some of your main competition is. Nothing short of malpractice by Hoke & co. |
2 weeks 6 days ago | Interesting point about Fisher |
I had forgotten they overlapped, so that's an interesting part of the resume. Still, if I was an MSU fan, I wouldn't read too much in to the "Ellerbe/Amaker" part -- not b/c Ellerbe and Amaker were much to write home about, but b/c Izzo's teams during that time were capable of beating anyone in the nation (and often did), so he wasn't just racking up wins against the mediocrity that was UM from 1998-2009. That said, I'd still be worried if I was an MSU fan -- he's losing more recruiting battles than he is winning (against Duke, IU, etc) and as you noted, the losses in close games show Izzo is not the best in-game coach. |
2 weeks 6 days ago | His comedies hold up - what a talent |
Animal House and Caddyshack are still some of the funniest movies ever (particularly Animal House, which I could be talked into being #1 all-time). Sometimes when you look at "classics" you can see why they were important at the time, but they are not really relevant to today -- but the type of comedy he wrote still would crush at the box office today. As an aside, I recently watched a two hour A&E "Biography" on the making of Caddyshack -- it was Ramis' first director job and he clearly didn't know what he was doing (as he admitted) but he had such an even-keel calm about the whole thing (they had many issues -- finding a course to shoot at, weather issues, changes to the script, etc), he kept the whole, disparate cast together and made a classic. |
2 weeks 6 days ago | Yep, saw that |
I stopped the DVR and re-wound it to be sure. The ref literally thew him back towards the sidelines. It will take until someone blows a knee, tripping over Izzo/Crean, before this gets fixed. |
2 weeks 6 days ago | Izzo is becoming Lloyd Carr (W-L wise) |
Not in his histironics (though Lloyd could certainly go off on refs) but in how he's living off a past rep and is dangerously close to slipping to being clearly 2nd or 3rd in his own conference (forget the nation). If MSU doesn't get it together when Dawson gets back and make a serious tourney run, that will be four straight years with Sweet 16 or worse -- that will put them clearly behind OSU and UM in terms of recent B1G and NCAA success. Plus, as Brian noted, it's not like they have the cavalry coming in to take them back to the top -- they lose Payne and (very likely) Harris, their two best players and replace them with....? If I was Izzo, I'd be real depressed over losses like this as well. While none of this is guaranteed (heck, they can still win the B1G this year if a couple things break their way), I think he can see it slipping away. |
3 weeks 3 days ago | I not arguing "should" - this is my opinion on "will" |
I think Hoke will get fired at 8-4 or worse. I can get, especially amongst Mgoblog denziens who can break down, via a scatterplot chart how UM's OL is developing, might make a better/more informed decision on whether there was "enough" improvement over 2013. I might not necessarily agree with it, as I think excuses should be at a minimum at a school like Michigan in someone's 4th year, but I can see it. But for Joe Fan Alumni--they don't care about that stuff. They care about the fact they had to pay another $1000+ for tickets for a team (if it goes 8-4) that either a) lost to ND or b) went 4-4 in the B1G, which everyone knows is not a great conference. All the while, they're getting razzed at work and family gatherings about "Who's the little brother now?" and "Boy, what is that almost ten in a row over you guys?" Plus, Hoke would suffer not only in comparison to the other football rivals, but to Beilein, who has UM as a regular B1G title contender (and beat MSU, twice, in his 4th year). Hoke's seat is hot -- starting now. He doesn't have another "good job, good effort, nice improvement, you'll get 'em next year" season, in my opinion. |
3 weeks 3 days ago | You know what you want when you already have a lot of money? |
More money. (or so I have read). |
3 weeks 3 days ago | I know. Sounds like he's the |
I know. Sounds like he's the coach of the extended family team that goes to play in a "Turkey Bowl" game after-Thanksgiving at the local middle school. "And the Harris Family coach....Brady Hoke!" |
3 weeks 3 days ago | It's already hot |
I can't believe people think that if Hoke is "meh" (i.e., goes 8-4) this year that he will be back in 2015. With State coming off a Rose Bowl win, OSU winning 12 games a year, and ND recently playing in the ntnl championship, all our "red letter rivals" (unless they unexpectedly fall on their faces next year) will have clearly surpassed us. Alums will not stand for that. 9 wins in the minimum, in my opinion, in the regular season, unless somehow UM gets to 8 wins with 2 of those 3 wins being over State and OSU. Beating ND would be nice, but losing to State (again) and/or OSU (again) will not cut it. |
3 weeks 3 days ago | I don't like it either, but |
I don't like it either, but they have 10 million reasons to do so. |
5 weeks 4 days ago | My goodness, if there is one |
My goodness, if there is one time Michigan/Brandon's "corporate" operating skillz should be useful, it is situations like these. If someone keeps asking questions you feel you've answered and/or don't want to get into, you simply stay calm, smile and say ...and then calmy and quickly leave the podium. No death stares or hemming or hawing. PR 101. Perhaps U of M should enroll itself. |
5 weeks 6 days ago | That seems reasonable at |
That seems reasonable at first, but define how a coach determines what is "strong evidence," esp in cases where the "evidence" is so in dispute (a police report isn't proof -- it's just a report of the events gathered by the police, and often contains contradictory information from the parties involved). The coach has zero investigative powers beyond asking the player "Did you do this?" and if he says, "No, I didn't coach." -- what then? How would you, as a coach, apply this "strong evidence" standard in a consistent, readily explainable manner to all involved (players, recruits, AD, the fans, the media, etc)? |
5 weeks 6 days ago | I don't understand what you expect of coaches |
Your comment, "I also think that quite possibly RR should have done the throwing..." is mystifying. You think RR should have thrown out a player who was a) not convicted, or even charged, with a crime by the state and b) was not found (in 2009-2010, when RR was here) by the University to be in violation of the university code of conduct? On what basis would RR have kicked him out, then? I get on coaches for being too lenient for when their charges are convicted of something (e.g., DUI) but I expect them to let the university and/or law enforcement investigate & make determinations of facts regarding serious conduct outside the team. Coaches have no time or ability to correctly investigate and pass judgment on whether a player has done something wrong in these matters -- it should be left to others whose job it (literally) is. |
6 weeks 2 days ago | Good point |
While both are/were versatile and could play multiple positions, Walt had more old-man funkiness in his game. Perhaps I'm just focused on them both having long arms. Maybe Caris can put on a bulky white elbow pad for fun, though? At least it will make him look heavier. |
6 weeks 2 days ago | I'll kick it, old-school - Walt Williams |
Walt "The Wizard" Williams from Maryland in the early 90s (then played in the NBA for a decade). I'm assuming Caris is going to continue to grow (he's already 6' 6", and looks to have gained some weight), so assuming he tops out at 6' 7" and about 200 lbs, he'll play 2 or 3 in the NBA, with his big wingspan (Wiliams also had a big wingspan). Short video of Walt: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RRbrewlFx3E |
6 weeks 3 days ago | Yes, I'm surprised how well |
Yes, I'm surprised how well he is doing. Granted, he is playing in the East against bad competition, but it's still NBA competition, and he's showing (as a rookie) he belongs. Impressive. On a side note: WTF Anthony Bennett?! Here's his stat line: I know he's the #1 pick overall, but he needs to go the d-league and work on his game and his confidence. Immediately. |
6 weeks 3 days ago | Absolutely. Talking about |
Absolutely. Talking about former Wolverine b-ball player's is never OT. |
6 weeks 3 days ago | I don't know about that. I am |
I don't know about that. I am definitely not a "die hard" and I've yet to say anything that Hoke could have done differently. |

The Land Conservancy of B.C.'s issues with the Canadian Revenue Agency will have no effect on two areas the group monitors in the Whistler area.
Media reports last week indicated the conservation group had its bank accounts seized by the CRA, which could result in some of its properties being sold.
The Land Conservancy's regional manager for the lower mainland Tamsin Baker said it does not own those lands and as a result there is no risk of them being sold at all.
The group holds conservation covenants on eight acres at Barnfield Farms and the Emerald Forest, which is 139 acres. However, the Resort Municipality of Whistler still owns the lands.
Even if they didn't, explained Baker, the covenants on them are permanently attached to the title of the property regardless of who owns it.
"Just because something might happen to the conservancy, those don't go away, they stay with the land," she said.
The CRA froze the non-profit's bank accounts as a result of unpaid taxes. According to the conservancy's website, the money owed is from GST related to a property transaction and the remainder is employee tax arrears.
It also stated that a $23,000 cheque to the CRA was caught in the accounts being frozen and with that situation lifted it could be processed along with the group's payroll.
"We are working to find a solution that will allow us to pay off CRA as quickly as possible. We believe that this is achievable by the end of September at the latest," states the website. "With the help of our creditors, lenders, staff and members we are restructuring so that we will be on a more sustainable footing in the future."
The Land Conservancy indicated in a worst case scenario, it would transfer the covenants of its conservation properties to other charitable organizations that have a similar mandate.
n a worst case scenario, TLC would transfer its conservation properties to other charitable organizations who have a similar mandate.

The state Department of Health and Human Resources is paying $1.5 million a year to oversee a brain injury program that so far has benefited just three people.
The 9-month-old Traumatic Brain Injury Waiver Program is meant to keep Medicaid-eligible West Virginians with brain injuries in their homes and out of institutions.
The state planned for 75 people to use the program in its first year, according to documents submitted to the federal government. Enrollment opened Feb. 1.
But so far only 28 people have applied for the program and only three have received services.
In the meantime, the state is paying New York-based APS Healthcare $1.5 million a year to administer the program. Most of that is federal Medicaid money spent by DHHR. The state's annual share is $375,000.
The state awarded a contract to APS to oversee the program in fall 2011. It's worth up to $4.7 million over three years.
"It was intended to build the program," DHHR spokeswoman Marsha Dadisman said Tuesday.
The state told the U.S. Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services that each person in the program would cost about $36,000 to care for. If that's true, the state is on track to spend $1.5 million to oversee a program that is currently spending a little more than $100,000 to care for West Virginians with brain injuries.
The program was supposed to provide up to $27 million a year in benefit to patients. So the $1.5 million overhead isn't that much - except that less than a handful of West Virginians are actually benefiting from it now.
Kanawha Circuit Judge Duke Bloom heard an update on the program last week. Bloom was getting a number of updates on the so-called Hartley Case, a 1981 case that remains open and centers on the treatment of mental health patients in the state.
DHHR fought the brain injury program for at least a decade.
The department had promised the circuit court it would seek federal approval for the program in 2001 and again in 2007. DHHR failed to follow through both times. Finally, in 2011, the state Supreme Court ordered the department to actually do what it had promised.

How Many Of Us Really Understand Risk?
Instead of dissecting the article I'll just add a couple of thoughts. The excerpt devotes very little to how people take their perception of risk and then mismanage it. Someone left a comment on a post of mine at Seeking Alpha that he has 40% in closed end funds. I don't know if closed end funds are new for this person or not but every few years there is the right type of negative event in the market that generally crushes closed end funds, unjustifiably so. A 40% weighting is a crushing waiting to happen.
Invariably, while things are going well, like now (on a price basis, things have been going well), no one says "oh yeah, the next time the market goes down a lot I am going to get caught with too much exposure to the wrong thing and I am going to panic sell big time." No, when things are going well people say "of course markets correct, everyone knows that, I won't panic."
No doubt the person with 40% in closed end funds thinks he has mitigated his risk and for all I know he may have somehow mitigated his exposure to more volatility than he really wants but this is a thing that too many people miss. To my way of thinking the time between the market cutting in half from 2000-2002 and then again starting in 2007 was short enough that more people should have remembered that the market can drop that much. This second decline was either the wrong type of volatility for people who don't need the money soon (mostly younger people) or the consequence of risk for people who need the money very soon (mostly those just then retiring) but either way people were shocked when the market went down so much and got caught very long many wrong parts of the market. This sort of thing is why I prefer an objective trigger point for defensive action. It requires far less insight than it does discipline.
Marks made one comment that is very similar to something I have talked about before that I don't see addressed very often. In my example I talk about the fictitious person who put 100% of his portfolio into Amazon (AMZN) the day of the IPO and sold at the April 23, 1999 peak. They would have made 5900% in 23 months. The person (we'll call him fictitious person number two) who bought from fictitious person number 1 with 100% of his portfolio lost 84% over the next 23 months. Hopefully it is obvious they each took the exact same risk. In one instance it worked out well and in the other it did not.
The key, I think, is first figuring your own tolerances (if you've been reading this site for a while hopefully you've done this some) and then figuring how to build a risk or volatility characteristic into your portfolio that you can live with but that still gives you a decent shot of having enough money when you need it. The sooner you can figure this out the easier time you'll have navigating the stock market cycle and hopefully you will achieve a better risk adjusted result.

i do not get it. The amzn example. The risk is not the same. I think that not doing your homework is the risk. Let's see. RW purchased for at $1.60 and sold it at 16. The purchaser at 16 has the same risk? I LIKE RW EXPLAIN IT, On this blog. I have read two pages of the article and the risk is when a person does not do his research or work as to evaluating the investment. I can go with that. Sorry, Roger -

There is another piece to the Amazon piece that I don't get.
What if the ficticous purchaser on the day of the IPO bought it and kept it to this day. What was the risk of holding it all that time and what was the outcome? - 10:28 AM

I'll also take exception with the AMZN example. The risk is only the same if both investors lacked a fundamental understanding of AMZN's value. My last post on MPT at valuerestorationproject.com covers some of the same ideas (with an avid discussion of the reposting at pragcap.com). JJ
