After Les Miles opted to stay at LSU, Michigan has hired San Diego State head coach Brady Hoke.

Greg Mattison has been here before, coaching the defense at Michigan in 1995 and 1996 under Lloyd Carr. Under Mattison's guidance, the Michigan defense thrived, ranking among the best in the nation. With the Wolverines' defense hitting a low-point in 2010, leading to the firing of Rich Rodriguez, Mattison has a tough task ahead, but has the track record that shows he can get it done.
In 1995, Mattison took over a defense giving up 22.3 points per game, ranked 38th in the nation. Not bad, but not dominant, either. In his first year at the helm -- the first year of Carr's tenure -- the defense improved, giving up just 17.2 points per game, ranked 13th in the nation. The defense took a step forward in his second, and final, year overseeing the defense at Michigan, giving up 15.3 points per game, ranked 8th in the nation.
Though points per game are the only stats available going that far back, there's a clear improvement along the way, at least in the broadest sense. Of course, it helped he had Charles Woodsen roaming the defensive backfield, but the point still remains.
In Mattison, Michigan is getting a coordinator with an immense amount of experience on the defensive side of the ball, plucking him straight from the NFL to boot. It's clear the Wolverines need all the help they can get, and head coach Brady Hoke's ability to lure Mattison back to Ann Arbor is a step in the right direction for a team that desperately needs a defensive spark.
Baltimore Ravens defensive coordinator Greg Mattison will take over as Brady Hoke's Michigan Wolverines defensive coordinator, the school announced Tuesday. The 61-year-old Mattison is beginning his second stint as Michigan DC, having held the role 1995 and 1996 and coached the Wolverines defensive line three years prior.Brady Hoke discussed the hire in a statement:
"Greg loves Michigan, loves recruiting and is excited about coming back to Ann Arbor and the University of Michigan," Hoke said of the Baltimore Ravens' defensive coordinator. "Greg is one of the top defensive coordinators in football, and his defensive units have always prided themselves on stopping the run. He will be a great asset to our program and an excellent addition to our staff."
Ravens coach John Harbaugh is quoted as wishing Mattison well in his new venture and announcing secondary coach Chuck Pagano's ascent to the DC spot:
"We're excited for our defense and for Chuck, and we're happy for Greg Mattison," said Ravens Head Coach John Harbaugh. "I will talk more about it tomorrow when we formally announced Chuck as our new coordinator in a press conference."
Before working for the Ravens, Mattison coached at Florida, Notre Dame, Texas A&M, and elsewhere in addition to his time in Ann Arbor. You'd like Midwestern bona fides, you say? He grew up and went to school in Wisconsin and has coached at Illinois and Indiana schools in addition to his stints at Michigan and Western Michigan. His son was a captain of Iowa's football team. Out-Midwest that!
The status of QB Denard Robinson has been the most immediate concern related to Michigan's coaching search post-Rich Rodriguez. New head coach Brady Hoke has told a west Michigan radio station, WBBL 107.3, that Robinson will stay at Michigan.
Thursday morning Hoke said he met with Robinson for about 20 minutes on Wednesday, and that the two would meet again shortly. After that second meeting, it was apparently settled that Robinson would agree to play in the new offense installed by Hoke's offensive coordinator. Hoke on Robinson:
There's no question he believes in Michigan, he loves Michigan, and he'll be a big part of our program. I've seen enough of him to know he can be the quarterback of the Wolverines.
The worry for Wolverines fans has been that the team could lose
its best player its entire offense if Robinson felt the new offense wouldn't fit his unique talents. But Hoke has expressed openness in adapting the team's offense to suit personnel, starting with the program's most important player.
Brady Hoke was formally introduced as the new head football coach of the Michigan Wolverines in a Wednesday press conference, and he immediately set to work convincing the Maize and Blue faithful that he is the right man for the job.
Unlike reported candidates Jim Harbaugh and Les Miles, Hoke isn't a Michigan alum. But he looked to assure fans that this was his dream job. From the Detroit Free Press:
In his opening remarks, Hoke stressed how much he wanted the job: "I promise you we would have walked to the University of Michigan."
Hoke also nodded to the program's glory years to spark up the hype machine for his tenure.
Hoke said, for eight years, Bo Schembechler wanted to know why U-M wasn't tougher on the defensive line. Hoke thanked the late coaching legend for that.
Hoke raised his voice as he declared: "We want to live up to the traditions and the legacies and high regard. We understand what Michigan football is. ... This is never going to be about Brady Hoke. This is a about a program. This is about a team."
SB Nation Detroit notes that Hoke, an Ohio native, also hammered the importance of Michigan's rivalry with Ohio State, saying, "That rivalry is special. It's like none other in football. It is the most important game on our schedule ... It's almost personal."

After unsuccessful attempts to attract big names as the next head coach of Michigan football, AD Dave Brandon settled on San Diego State's Brady Hoke as the next leader of the Wolverines. It's a less-than-sexy hire as Hoke comes into Michigan with what our own Maize N' Brew calls a "mediocre" resume. So what does the hire mean for Wolverine fans? The wait to return to greatness continues:
Five of [Hoke's] eight seasons as a head coach finished under .500. This team has just hitched it's wagon to a guy who may or may not be fit to hold the reins. Unfortunately there isn't anything to do now but wait and see.
And that is what this is really about: the waiting. You could say that Michigan fans have been waiting patiently (impatiently?) for three years, but that would be a lie. In all reality we have been waiting since January 1st, 1998, the last day that the program reached the heights at which we could finally step back, pat ourselves on the back, and know without a shadow of a doubt that there wasn't anything better at that moment than being a Michigan Wolverine. Since then it's been heartbreaking non-conference losses, in conference upsets, and a whole bunch of nine and ten win seasons. None of it was ever enough.
After three years of waiting for Rich Rodriguez to return Michigan to prominence, the cycle starts anew for Michigan. Although this time it comes with decidedly less optimism.
San Diego State offensive coordinator Al Borges will join his head coach Brady Hoke on the Michigan Wolverines staff, according to a report. Michigan hired their Michigan man in Brady Hoke, but what are the Wolverines getting in terms of X's and O's? In Hoke's tenure as the Ball State head coach and more recently at San Diego State, he has won with offense and an above-average defense in his team's good years.
Borges has over 20 years of experience as offensive coordinator at multiple BCS schools with varying success. Bringing along Borges could mean that Michigan will be moving away from the spread attack used under Rich Rodriguez, and toward a more open passing offense, but do not expect for Hoke to use an offense that would cause one of college football's most dynamic playmakers to transfer away.
The main concern from Michigan coud be the status of quarterback Denard Robinson, who is known more for his running skills then his passing ability, and if Hoke insists on having a pass-heavy offense then Robinson could transfer to find an offense that suits his skills. Hoke should have learned from Rich Rodriguez, who forced a round peg into a square hole when installing his spread option attack. Borges must find a way to utilize one of the most dynamic players in college football; after all, Robinson ended up finishing the season third in the nation in rushing yards.
Borges is thought of as a smart coach that looks to take advantage of his personnel. When he arrived at San Diego State he had a solid, strong-armed quarterback in place with Ryan Lindley and two quality receivers in DeMarco Sampson and Vincent Brown. He installed a pass-heavy offense and proceeded to throw the ball around with three- and four-wide receiver sets, and ran an up pace offense that was predicated on making big plays in the passing game.

While Michigan fans may have had dreams of a high-profile head coaching hire, they instead got an up-and-comer from San Diego State in Brady Hoke. The Aztecs head coach turned heads this year, compiling a 9-4 record at the helm in San Diego. On Tuesday, Hoke landed his dream job as he was named the head coach of the Michigan Wolverines.
Now that the coaching search is over, and Hoke has been introduced as the head coach, reactions are rolling in. The players were happy, the sentiment online spans the full spectrum of reactions -- from thrilled to forecasting impending doom -- and alums are rushing to praise Brandon for the choice.
Desmond Howard, former Michigan player and current ESPN analyst, hit Twitter shortly after Hoke's hiring was announced, saying he's heard plenty of positives about Hoke.

Jalen Rose also hit Twitter to give his opinion of the hire, opting to stick with the company line. Even Braylon Edwards chimed in, congratulating Hoke for landing his dream job and calling him a great coach.
If Braylon has your back, you're destined for head coaching success.
With Brady Hoke officially on-board as the head coach at Michigan, the attention turns to how the players will accept him. Hoke's first job is winning over the players still in the program, before moving quickly to secure the incoming recruiting class. Players were assembled in a team meeting on Tuesday, shortly after Michigan announced the hire, to be informed that Hoke would be the new man in charge.
According to Angelique Chengis, players were not only receptive to Hoke, but stood up and cheered when the hire was announced at a team meeting on Wednesday.

Not a bad start for Hoke, who at least brings a little stability after former head coach Rich Rodriguez spent his tenure in Ann Arbor almost constantly sitting on a hot seat. While we don't yet know how the players will take to Hoke, at least they put forth the effort to look like they're excited about the hire. Michigan is a program that needs some kind of excitement right now, after a disappointing end to the 2010 season.
Hoke will be introduced as the Michigan head coach at a press conference on Wednesday at 1 p.m. EST. For more on the Wolverines, check out SB Nation's Maize N Brew.
Just hours after Les Miles elected to stay at LSU, Brady Hoke has been hired as the Michigan head coach. Hoke, the head coach at San Diego State, emerged as a top-target of athletic director Dave Brandon on Tuesday after Miles, Jim Harbaugh and others declined to take the job. Reports surfaced earlier in the day that Brandon had been in talks with Hoke and was flying to California to meet with him.
The news was made official with a press release from the Michigan athletic department.
"We are pleased to announce the hiring of Brady," said Brandon. "He is a terrific coach and will be a great ambassador and leader for our football program. We look forward to having him build a championship program on the field and in the classroom."
Hoke spent the last two seasons at San Diego State, compiling a 13-12 record. That record, however, includes an impressive turnaround, from 4-8 in 2009 to 9-4 with a Poinsettia Bowl win in 2010. Before taking the job at San Diego State, Hoke spent six seasons at Ball State, finishing his last year at 12-1, only losing in the GMAC Bowl.
Hoke will be introduced as the Michigan head coach at a press conference on Wednesday at 1 p.m. EST.

Michigan has already whiffed on its highest profile targets in the search for a new head coach after firing Rich Rodriguez. With Jim Harbaugh and Les Miles both passing on the job, the attention turns to San Diego State head coach Brady Hoke. Michigan has reportedly been in talks with Hoke and athletic director Dave Brandon is flying to California for a meeting.
Sign on San Diego had the news on Tuesday, which jives with what those following the Michigan plane have been saying, as well.
Hoke was in the Los Angeles area Tuesday recruiting for SDSU. Meanwhile, Michigan Athletic Director Dave Brandon has planned to fly to nearby Orange County for a meeting Tuesday.
If Hoke, apparently next on Brandon's list of target, is offered the job, the prevailing sentiment is that he will accept. The San Diego head coach has maintained all along that Michigan, his alma mater, is his dream job, and that he would head to Michigan if given the opportunity.
With Brandon flying to Orange County for a meeting, the Michigan head coaching search may finally be winding down after a series of high-profile missteps along the way.
Michigan athletic director Dave Brandon has struck out again. After Les Miles reportedly met with Michigan officials on Monday night, the LSU head coach opted to stay in Baton Rouge, spurning the Wolverines in the process. Miles was reportedly very interested in the Michigan head coaching job before announcing his intentions to stay with the Tigers on Tuesday.
LSU released a statement, passed on by Angelique Chengelis on Twitter, announcing that Miles would remain with the Tigers.

Miles becomes the second high-profile coaching candidate to turn down Michigan in as many weeks. Jim Harbaugh was reportedly the top-target for Brandon after Rich Rodriguez was fired, but also opted to stay away from Ann Arbor, instead choosing to become the head coach of the San Francisco 49ers.
With Miles out of the picture, Michigan's options become even more limited. Brady Hoke, head coach of the San Diego State Aztecs, has seen his name thrown into the ring before and could become a target of Michigan soon.

WAFB in Louisiana is reporting that the worst-kept secret in college football is in motion. Monday night, LSU head coach Les Miles reportedly met with Michigan AD Dave Brandon at Miles' house.
Brandon and two other Michigan representatives left the meeting and were taken to Baton Rouge Metro Airport in a Cadillac Escalade, where they were seen boarding Brandon's Domino's Pizza plane at 7:40 p.m. The plane left moments later.
The jet, on loan to Brandon, landed in Baton Rouge Monday afternoon fueling speculation that he was on his way to a meeting with Miles.
Earlier in the day, Miles spoke at a press conference to announce that junior cornerback Patrick Peterson would enter the NFL Draft. During the presser, Miles said he met with LSU players Monday morning and told them he expects to remain at LSU.
We know Miles isn't going to say anything that makes sense in response to a direct question about the job, so we'll likely hear something from Michigan in the next day or so.
Rumors have been flying for some time, but we now have the first tangible reports that LSU head coach Les Miles could be in the running for the head coaching position at Michigan. Joe Schad is reporting that the university is interested in talking to its colorful alumnus.
One source close to Miles said a time and place has not been finalized. Another source said the coach would give LSU 24 hours notification before the interview and that had not occurred.
Miles, a Michigan alum, would be interested in listening to athletic director Dave Brandon, one source close to him said.
Miles' candidacy likely got a boost when Stanford coach and fellow Michigan man Jim Harbaugh decided to go to the San Francisco 49ers. The possibility of San Diego State head coach Brady Hoke has been met with mixed reaction among fan blogs and the like, to say the least.
Whenever talk of Miles going to Michigan crops up, it's important to remember that ESPN has reported that Miles was already on his way to Michigan -- in 2007. And to watch his reaction.
At that time, Miles was in the middle of a national championship season. But it was clear from his comments after he decided to return to LSU that he would have loved a clearer shot to coach his alma mater. He might get it yet.
Pity Michigan fans. Their last athletics director reportedly missed out on a chance to continue talks with Les Miles because he was on a yacht-related trip. No, really. Their current athletics director has instead decided that it's best to wait until Jan. 5 to begin a national coaching search. Again — no, really. Michigan fans are not pleased with this tack, which our Michigan blog, Maize n Brew, sums up thusly: "The Plane has Crashed into the Mountain."
If Rodriguez was going to be fired today, Brandon needed to have a coach lined up in the next 24 hours. Not have a nationwide coaching search that he hopes to wrap up by Wednesday of next week. If the plan was always to have a nationwide coaching search, Rodriguez needed to be let go on Dec. 1 and the search needed to have started then.
Anyone doubting the idea that a coaching search beginning in January is a bad idea need only ask Florida fans. Steve Spurrier resigned from his legendary run in Gainesville on Jan. 4, 2002, and the man Florida found to replace him was Ron Zook.
Meanwhile, Big Ten blog Off Tackle Empire is chewing over the reasons that Rich Rodriguez's tenure in Ann Arbor didn't work. Their take: It's not that Rodriguez's spread offense didn't work, it's that Rich Rodriguez's spread offense was the only thing that did work.
After 3 years at the helm, only 1/3 of this team worked. The other 2/3rds (some may call that a "majority") of this team withered into nothingness. Michigan's field goal percentage was… wait for it… 28.6% (4 of 14). … Attempts look a little low? That's because Michigan had to either punt or go for it on 4th down if they were outside the, oh I dunno, 15 yard line.
For whatever reason it happened, Rodriguez is gone. And the search to replace him is already off to a bumpy start.
Michigan now faces the daunting task of replacing Rich Rodriguez as head coach at Michigan. Daunting means "discouraging," a word most appropriate due more to timing than to the difficulty of replacing a coach who in his tenure managed to lead Michigan to the worst three-year stretch in school history. A hundred terrible caches could do the same, and would be happy to take Michigan's dollars to top Rodriguez's era of anti-acheivement.
The discouraging part part comes with the timing and the reported indifference of Michigan's most obvious candidate, Jim Harbaugh. Without Harbaugh the list of viable candidates for the Michigan job becomes a pretty slim pool of possibilities, but it's what they'll have to work with in a relatively short period of time.
What we need here is a Michigan man who can do what only Michigan can. Lloyd Carr still holds sway within the Michigan football program, and if he and those who worship the fourth down pooch punt have their way, the only candidate for the job is Brady Hoke.
Hoke is a former Carr assistant and who is not without his accomplishments. Ball State went 12-1 and won the MAC under Hoke in 2007, and then took the comatose San Diego State program off the floor and made a bowl game with nine wins in just his second season. He has a demonstrated record of winning and rebuilding programs, something Michigan is in desperate need of at the moment.
He also lacks anything you might call sex appeal in the eyes of those looking for more sparkle in their new hires. Aside from those two peak years his teams in his short career have been pedestrian. Coaching demands may hinder his budding acting career. Will probably get the job from sheer safety and familiarity.
If we can't get a Michigan Man we'll at least get something like one. I.e. a low-key, self-effacing guy with solid football chops and the people skills to mend fences in Ann Arbor after the long siege of Rodriguez's tenure. Kyle Whittingham and Chris Petersen fall into this category, have won loads of games as head coaches, and are completely unavailable and happy where they are, but they'll come up in a lot of lists so you might as well know their names to say, "Yeah, that'd be a great idea! And it will not happen. But it's a great idea!" And then you can give them a cookie, because being patronizing is always more tolerable when you get a cookie at the same time.
Who's willing to escape this burning building by jumping into this burning car with me? Once you get out of the country of safe and normal ideas and get into full honest desperation, you might consider any of the following candidates for the Michigan job.
There's no more reporting or speculating to do: Rich Rodriguez has been fired by Michigan, as was officially announced by the school's athletic director Dave Brandon at a press conference on Wednesday.
Brandon said that he met with Rodriguez for several hours on Tuesday morning for a performance review. The head coach was evaluated in several areas, after which Brandon wanted to take the night to think about his decision. On Wednesday, he informed Rodriguez that he would be relieved of his head coaching duties.
Via SB Nation Detroit, some of the things Brandon had to say about Rodriguez:
"I believe this is the best decision for the future of Michigan football." … "I don't intend to do a public performance review." … "I appreciate the hard work that (Rodriguez) and his staff have put forth. Rich Rodriguez is a good man." … "I don't believe this is the result of a lack of effort."
Brandon went on to say that he will not form a committee to search for the next Michigan head coach, and that he hopes to find a successor quickly. One name that has been swirling around the program is Stanford coach Jim Harbaugh. Brandon quickly put that notion to bed, saying that he believes Jim Harbaugh is headed to the NFL.
Rich Rodriguez is not expected to meet with the media, but will release a statement on Wednesday, according to the university.
The firing or Rich Rodriguez also includes almost the entire Michigan football staff, according to a report from the Detroit News' Angelique Chengelis. Included in this bloodletting is defensive coordinator Greg Robinson, the focal point of much of Michigan fans' ire this season. Michigan's defense ranked 110th in the nation this season and gave up 52 points to Mississippi State in the Wolverines' blowout in the Gator Bowl.
The firings do not include one key element who may be valuable for any incoming coaching staff: strength and conditioning coach Mike Barwis. Barwis is employed by Michigan on a separate contract from the rest of the football staff, and will not be affected by this round of firings. Barwis is very well-thought of by his colleagues, and his reputation as a cutting-edge S & C coach seems to have survived the debacle of the Rodriguez era. Like Will Muschamp at Florida did with Gators strength and conditioning coach Mickey Marotti, the incoming candidate (whomever that might be) could consider keeping him for continuity's sake, especially since the weight room and facilities in Ann Arbor were built to Barwis' specifications.
After reports circulated on Tuesday that Rich Rodriguez had been fired as Michigan football coach, we now have more official confirmation that RichRod has, indeed, be relieved of his duties. Several outlets are confirming it via Twitter, including ESPN's Joe Schad and Detroit Free Press' Angelique Chengelis.
Chengelis is reporting that Rodriguez's staff has been fired, as well, and Schad tweets that RichRod is meeting with his coaches Wednesday morning to inform them of the decision. Athletic Director Dave Brandon will hold a 12:30 p.m. press conference on Wednesday to announce the decision.
Rodriguez went 15-22 in his three years at Michigan, and led the team to its first winning season of his tenure in 2010, going 7-6. The Wolverines lost their bowl game, however, as they were destroyed by Mississippi State in the Gator Bowl. Rodriguez's spread offense finally got on track this season, but the defense was the team's ultimate undoing.
For much more on this, check out SB Nation's Maize N' Brew.
Just hold your coaching carousel horses there one confounded minute, media speculators and internet prospectors. Michigan athletic director Dave Brandon is the boss around here, consarnit, and he'll have you know that Rich Rodriguez will not be fired until Dave Brandon says he is fired. Dave Brandon is the decider:
The University of Michigan has denied reports that Rich Rodriguez has been fired. The school released a statement that said:
"This is media speculation at this point the definitive voice on this matter is [Athletic Director] Dave Brandon and he has not and will not speak publicly until a final decision has been made."
It will be a shame if he's still there next year, really, for all involved, because a) the Detroit Free Press will never, ever stop hounding after his destruction, and b) there's still an opening for the skipper's chair at Pitt, and wouldn't that make for a howdy-do of a Backyard Brawl.
Get your fix of Michigan athletics news at SB Nation's Maize N Brew and SB Nation Detroit.
And now we've entered the next phase of the Rich Rodriguez saga: TheWolverine.com is reporting "no decision on the Michigan head coach's future will come until tomorrow," and that a players' meeting has been delayed until Wednesday afternoon.
The Associated Press reports the players' meeting was postponed after Rodriguez met with Michigan athletic director Dave Brandon "for hours Tuesday afternoon." While there's of course no word on whether Rodriguez' firing will be announced at Wednesday's meeting or not, it is curious that a meeting which presumably involves a termination would last "hours."
How long does it take to tell a man he's fired? Could Rodriguez have talked himself into earning one last chance to prove himself as Michigan coach, now that Stanford Cardinal coach Jim Harbaugh is reportedly no longer an option? Or did the firing ceremony simply progress at Big Ten speed?
Earlier Tuesday the Detroit FOX affiliate reported Rodriguez had been fired, with the rest of the Detroit media looking into potential replacements shortly after.
Now that Rich Rodriguez has reportedly been fired as Michigan Wolverines head coach (and with Stanford Cardinal coach Jim Harbaugh reportedly no longer a candidate to replace him), San Diego St. Aztecs head coach Brady Hoke's name is suddenly all over Michigan as a potential replacement.
The Detroit News lists Hoke as an alternative to Harbaugh, FOX's Detroit affiliate lists Hoke alongside Harbaugh as being on a "list of candidates," and Michigan Live approves of the potential Hoke hire, among others.
Hoke coached defensive line at Michigan from 1995 to 2002, leaving to take the head coaching job at Ball State, where he had played linebacker from 1977 to 1980. From there he moved to SDSU in 2009.
Born in Ohio, his only coaching jobs outside of the Midwest have been stints as Oregon State's D line coach and the SDSU job. Other than that he's coached all over Indiana, along with jobs in Ohio and Michigan. His brother is an assistant for the Chicago Bears — it really doesn't get more Midwest than the Hoke family.
He has a 47-50 head coaching record, but both of his gigs have been turnaround projects. In six years he took Ball State from 4-8 to a 12-1 MAC title, and San Diego State improved by five wins and collected a bowl win in his second season.
For more on Hoke and Michigan visit Maize And Brew and SB Nation Detroit.
Michigan head coach Rich Rodriguez has been fired after three seasons in Ann Arbor, according to a report from the local FOX affiliate in Detroit. The school reportedly informed him of the decision on Tuesday.
Rodriguez went 15-22 in three seasons as the Wolverines head coach, but finally had his first winning season this year, going 7-6 and securing a Gator Bowl berth for Michigan. The season ended in ugly fashion, however, as the Wolverines were crushed in the bowl, losing to Mississppi State, 52-14.
Michigan's offense showed plenty of signs of improvement in 2010 as Rodriguez finally found a QB to run his spread option system in Denard Robinson. The defense was a disaster though, and the improvement on the offensive side apparently wasn't great enough for Michigan to continue with Rodriguez, if the FOX report is accurate.
Rumors swirled around Stanford head coach Jim Harbaugh as the possible replacement for Rodriguez, but reports early on Tuesday indicated Harbaugh is not interested in the position.

I am an Executive at a well-known 5-star hotel chain and I would like to provide my honest observations on services I have received:1. We paid $1,024 for our one-year old just to allow her to go on this cruise with us. Our reservation was booked and pre-paid 6 months prior to the cruise with requests for baby crib and high chairs. Baby crib did not arrive 4 hours after we initially entered our stateroom and there was always at least 10 minutes wait for high chairs at any of restaurants.
2. We got run-arounds by staff from various departments about who should assist us with sanitizing baby bottles using microwaves. Everyone was trying to refuse this request.
3. There was a room for kid programs, but it was always closed when we passed by.
4. Over 70% staff was not perceived being friendly by simply passing by them. No eye contact and no smile at all!
5. We pre-paid beverage package with unlimited non-alcoholic cocktails. Most bartendes felt being bothered when drinks were ordered. (by the way, if you pay for the drink at the bar, you will be served in a nice cocktail glass with garnish. If the drink is via the beverage package, it is poured into a plastic cup!)
6. Rude Host/Hostess when they were under the stress during the dinner rush.
7. Photos for purchase onboard are extremely expensive ($24.95 a piece). Although I am not completely disgusted by this price, there is absolutely no specials if you wish to buy multiple copies or photos.
8. Followed the disembarkation guideline by the ship to arrange wheelchair assistance for my Mother, but was told on the day of disembarkation that it would be faster if I push the wheelchair myself.All above, for $9,000 (cruise fare + onboard spendings + shore excursions) for two staterooms with balcony on a 7-day Alaska cruise............Family with kids, please think twice!

Cercadas pela vegetação do Parque Nacional da Tijuca, as escadas que levam até o mirante convidam os visitantes a apreciarem toda a beleza vegetal da área. Iniciando o caminho, uma mata de bambus esconde micos e instigam a curiosidade dos visitantes com os constantes ruídos de animais atravessando o matagal. Chegando ao parapeito, a sensação é indescritível. De um lado, o Cristo deslumbra sua grandeza, num pedestal privilegiado: o morro do Corcovado. Ao redor, a Baía de Guanabara contracena com a urbanização carioca. Isso sem falar no Pão de Açúcar e na Lagoa Rodrigo de Freitas, outras peculiaridades da cidade.

Here's your soundtrack. Okay, maybe they're not exactly brazillian but their music is awesome and their live shows legendary.
Now, Brazil covers almost half of South America and its Amazon rainforest is the world's largest jungle... which is rapidly getting cut down. The country is basically one giant botanical garden with some bangin' cities on its edges.
Brazil was colonized in 1808 by the royal court of Portugal, which was fleeing Napolean's troops. They didn't stay long, and Brazil won its independence in 1822.
Its biggest city, Sao Paulo, is the financial hub of South America. Brazil is the "b" in BRIC -- Brazil, Russia, India and China. These four were labeled the world's fastest developing large economies in the year 2001.
Brazil is known for three things: amazingly beautiful women, carnival, and Pele -- King of Football, Athlete of the Century, football ambassador of the world and a declared national treasure.
Brazillians can tell foreigners a mile away, by the way their hips move. Samba is built into the soul of brazil and carnival is when it bursts out into twenty-four hour undying explosions of sound on every street.
This picture of mask diving at the Taipus reefs makes me shed hot and salty tears all over my calendar, which is set on "January" right now.

During our continuous journey many scenes come across our screens of time. Images dancing to different tunes, melodies of a vibrant present are lost into the distractions of life's traffic jams! They turn into nostalgic imprints hidden in the back of our memories, in the long path down memory lane, then they disappear into thin air.
This book was a humble attempt to capture and share images that would have been lost to the ticking clocks of time. From the exotic Far East, to the Middle East and on to Western Europe this book draws upon some visual reflections of some the photos I took in 2010. Human emotions that exposed themselves reminding us how close we are no matter where we came from.
I wish you an enjoyable time surfing this humble attempt to capture some of life's abundant beauty!

I just purchased my second tube of this. When I first bought this sunscreen, it was the highest SPF I could find at the time. I think now Neutrogena makes SPF 100+ sunscreen. Insanity! I considered trying it, but 70 is probably sufficient for everyday use. Because of various medications I must take relating to my recent kidney transplant (be an organ donor!), I must wear sun protection every day. Every other sunscreen I've tried either smells horrid or leaves me feeling extremely greasy. This product doesn't even feel like a sunscreen! As a result, I've actually worn it every day since I purchased it. Since I don't actually need SPF 70 on my face at all times, I often mix this with another facial moisturizer that I love, but lacks SPF (right now I love Boots Original Formula Rose Vanishing Day Cream). I've never broken out from this product and I do have somewhat sensitive skin. It seems that those who have a lot of trouble with this product may be allergic to it.
This was the worst sunscreen I have ever used. I am assuming this is just me and I happen to be allergic to something in this sunscreen but it made me break out in what can only be described as tiny pimples literally all over my face. This happened within an hour of putting it on. That being said this did just fine on my arms and legs. However there are better sunscreens out there that are cheaper if I am just looking for a body sunscreen. Such as the Coppertone Oil Free sunscreens. (I would not use those on my face though)
I have discovered that I am in fact very sensitive to chemical sunscreens and the higher the SPF, the more concentrated the chemicals, the worse my reaction. If you do not have that problem you may very well love this sunscreen. It has a lovely texture that is not shiny or greasy. It works very well for my boyfriend who has slightly oily skin that is not sensitive.
loved it for the body, hated it for the face.
it claims to be non-comedogenic so i used it on my face and ended up with horrible blackheads and a bad breakout. it was good for the body though, leaving only a slight sticky feel after that. but then again, i'm pretty sensitive to cream-based sunscreens, i usually cannot stand the feel and only use japanese water-based ones. still, a good buy, just dont try it on your face.
oil free and seriously dry-touch!
i love this especially the high SPF. It is even suitable for the face.

The Neutrognea Ultra Sheer Dry Touch Sunblock is the best sunblock out there!!
The good thing about this sunblock is that after you apply this it doesn't even feel like your wearing sunblock. Another good thing about this is that it's very lightweight and it won't clog your pores. (:
The only downside is that if you don't blend the sunscreen well you end up with white marks all over your skin.

This stuff stinks. Not literally. I was in need of face UVA and UVB protection for sports. It made my skin look so greasy. Without it, my skin is pretty much just dry skin. I would not use it on the face area, because it broke me out. To top it all off, the packaging is kindof bad. The ink smudges and scratches off. Now, I use it on the body when I go to the beach... sometimes, still my face. No matter how much I seemed to rub, it just continued to streak. :( Don't get this unless you take sports and have unsensitive, light- colored skin that sunblock streaks will now show up on.
I bought this thinking it would be the same as a lower SPF version I had of this a couple years ago (which I loved). It isn't the same. This does have a matte finish and is quite waterproof once you rub it in. However, texture is sticky, it leaves a white cast, and unfortunately, it broke me out after 2 days of use. This may be due to my not washing it off properly afterwards - it is as mentioned very waterproof - who knows, but the fact remains I still broke out. I may buy again, but only for areas of my body where I want a super high SPF, such as my hands and chest.
One of my first sunscreens because it was easily and cheaply available at Costco for a reasonable price. I thought that since it was brand name, it would be good for me. I have since learned that its the ingredient list that I should look at, not the brand. This sunscreen is a petrolatum-derived cocktail of ingredients. It made me break out, and always left a white screen on my face, no matter how hard I rubbed it in. It only has avobenzone as a uva blocker, and only in 3%, the same as its formulation in 45, 60, 85, and 90+. The rest block uvb, which are not nearly as harmful for your skin as uva. I would only recommend this product to a name-brand junkie as an alternative to nothing at all.
I have mixed feelings about this sunscreen.
PROS: It is dry to the touch, which is a huge plus, as I really dislike the sunscreens that leave you feeling greasy after applying it. The scent is light and disappears after a few minutes. I reserve this sunscreen for my using only on my body. On the occasion when I am out in the sun hiking, I will use it on my face and it has never made me break out at all.
CONS: The titanium dioxide does leave a white streak or cast if you do not spread the product around enough. I am medium skin toned and it shows up on my skin. You have to make sure that you do apply it evenly. And if you apply it on your face, you have to spread it around on your face rather aggressively. It is not a product that goes on gently. It will also leave strange residue on your face, as well. I suspect that it does not mix well with some of my other skin products.
This stuff is a lot of work to put on. It really will not rub into my skin and just forms a greasy, white coating of goo over me. I've had my sister trying to help me rub it in, and even with two people it just didn't work. She asked me, 'What is wrong with this sunscreen? It feels like paste.' When it dries, it becomes whiter and shows up even more easily, looking very flaky. It doesn't absorb into my skin at all, and I left slimy trails behind on the car seat where my legs were because of this stuff. Rubbing it into my arms is actually pretty painful. After a few minutes, I can still see white streaks, and the skin is sore from being pulled around by my little arm hairs during all the rubbing. Really just such a hassle. It seems to shield me from the sun from what I can tell, but it's not worth looking like I bathed in Crisco. Neutrogena claims that it is "fast absorbing; leaves skin soft and smooth; waterproof." In my experience, the only part of that which is true seems to be that it is waterproof. This stuff is nearly as tough to wash off as it is to put on.

Scripture Reference:
Matthew 14:22-33. This story is also told in Mark 6:45-52 and John 6:16-21, however, the account of Peter walking on the water is not included in these references.
Jesus Walks on Water - Story Summary:
After feeding the 5000, Jesus sends his disciples ahead of him in a boat to cross the Sea of Galilee. Several hours later in the night, the disciples encounter a storm. Jesus comes to them, walking on the water. This terrifies the disciples who think they are seeing a ghost. Jesus tells them in verse 27, "Take courage! It is I. Don't be afraid."
Peter replies, "Lord, if it's you, tell me to come to you on the water." So Jesus invites Peter to come. Peter gets out of the boat and begins walking on the water toward Jesus. But when Peter takes his eyes off Jesus and sees the wind and waves, he begins to sink. Peter cries out to the Lord and Jesus immediately reaches out his hand and catches Peter. As they climb into the boat together, the storm ceases. Then the disciples worship Jesus, saying, "Truly you are the Son of God."
Points of Interest from the Story:
• Jesus sends the disciples away so he can get alone on the mountainside and pray. Even in his busy schedule, spending time with God is a priority for Jesus.
• The disciples, even though they have spent much time with Jesus, don't recognize him in the storm. Sometimes we don't recognize the Lord when he comes to us in the middle of our "storms."
• Peter doesn't begin to sink until he starts looking around at the wind and the waves. Taking our eyes off Jesus, and focusing on the difficult circumstances will cause us to get under our problems. But when we cry out to Jesus, he catches us by the hand and raises us above the seemingly impossible surroundings.
• Peter starts out with good intentions, but his faith falters. This does not, however, end up in failure. Peter, even in his fear, cries out to the Lord, the only one who can help him.
• When Jesus gets in the boat, the storm ceases. When we have Jesus "in our boat" the storms of life will be calmed and we can worship Him.
Question for Reflection:
Though we may not walk across water, we will go through difficult, faith-testing circumstances. Are you sinking into despair or are you looking to Jesus and his miraculous power for help?

Bee-ing kind to struggling bugs in Brighton
5:40pm Monday 7th January 2013 in News By Peter Truman
A haven has been created for beleaguered bees as new research hopes to save the queen bees of the insect world.
Brighton and Hove Friends of the Earth and Friends of Hollingbury and Burstead Woods set up the site to create the perfect habitat for the threatened species.
The groups helped to clear the overgrown south facing bank to expose chalky soil, which some bees love.
Lesley Brown, projects officer of Friends of Hollingbury and Burstead Woods said: "We are really pleased to be creating a new environment which will not only encourage bees, but a whole range of other wildlife in the woods."
Monica Jennings of Brighton and Hove Friends of the Earth added: "We hope to encourage a range of solitary bees such as Red Mason Bee, Carpenter Bee and Leafcutter Bee.
"Solitary bees are important as crop pollinators and we need to ensure they survive."
The University of Sussex is also hoping to be an institution to save the world.
It has been awarded £100,000 to continue its work researching honey bees.
Declining bees
The numbers of bees has been declining rapidly in the past few years, with last year's wet and cool conditions again affecting numbers.
Honey bees are central to our existence through pollination, and the university has now received funding until 2015 for its Sussex Plan for bees.
The plan investigates practical questions that will help to address the wide range of challenges currently facing honey bees, including lack of forage, parasites and diseases.
The money is coming from honey company Rowse Honey.
In 2009, the company donated £100,000 to help launch the Sussex Plan for honey bee health and well-being.
The long-term research project will also advance practical knowledge of honey bees and social insects.
Professor Francis Ratnieks said: "This support will be vital in maintaining the Sussex Plan, given the challenging climate.
"Rowse were our first corporate donor, and their initial donation played a key role in getting the Sussex Plan going, turning it from an idea into reality.
"It is encouraging to the LASI team that Rowse will be supporting us for three more years."

Is Sussex University or Rowse Honey assisting the groups pictured (Brighton and Hove Friends of the Earth and Friends of Hollingbury and Burstead Woods)? Or are they focused on the social insects only? Thanks for filling us in on this.

Hooksett school officials see Pinkerton contract problem
"At (Tuesday's) board meeting I tried to get the board to engage in a criteria on how to get the 75 kids if not enough sign up, but got nowhere. The board had no ideas, so Superintendent (Charles) Littlefield said that if it becomes a problem, he would bring it back to the board," Pearl said. "He said he doesn't have a process either. That could be very problematic."
"There was no other reason, I just wanted to get people out as quickly as possible," Korkosz said.
"It is definitely something that is on our agenda," Korkosz said.
Pearl said waiting on addressing the matter is a bad idea.
"My frustration is that I have to talk to the press to get action on this because the chair doesn't talk to me, but will talk to the press, and I don't hold it against the press, but as a board member that bothers me, so at this point I have to communicate through the Union Leader," Pearl said.
While Korkosz has previously said that Pinkerton is the best option for Hooksett, Anderson said, Hooksett's presence will be important to Pinkerton as well.

DALLAS — Tony Dorsett was dominating on the field.
Tough. Strong. And now he's slowly suffering.
The former Dallas Cowboys running back confirmed to ESPN's "Outside the Lines" that he was diagnosed with signs of CTE, or chronic traumatic encephalopathy.
"I get frustrated. I get frustrated and I look at myself... you're just in this shell," Dorsett told ESPN. "You're not Anthony Tony Dorsett. You're not him anymore. Who are you?"
There are pauses in his speech and fits of yelling at his wife and daughters.
"It's getting worse and worse as the days go by," he said. "My short temperedness... I'm really short tempered. It just gets worse."
During an interview with WFAA back in March, Dorsett said he was dealing with the effects of concussions sustained while piling up more than 12,000 yards rushing as a pro. The situation had gotten so bad he said he had trouble even watching a half-hour TV show.
"There's no way," he said. "I just get bored with it. I'm not following it as well."
Dorsett, 59, was elected in the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 1994.
"I've got these mood swings," Dorsett said. "I'm real temperamental. When I get into this fog, I can't focus. I can't concentrate on anything."
He said he has no idea how many concussions he suffered during his playing days with the Cowboys.
Dorsett told ESPN's "Outside the Lines" that he even gets lost when he drives his daughters to a soccer or volleyball game and has to ask his wife for directions. He said he was notified on Monday that he was diagnosed with signs of the disease.
Dorsett also admitted that he's battled depression, along with thoughts of ending it all.
"I'm too smart of a person, I'd like to think, to take my life. But it's crossed my mind," he said.
Dorsett is one of three former NFL stars who underwent brain scans and clinical tests during the last few months at UCLA.
"I could see why sometimes some guys got suicidal because you're just not yourself," Dorsett told WFAA.
He said it hit him about four or five years ago and has been searching for relief ever since.
Thursday afternoon, some of Dorsett's former teammates shared their reaction at a charity golf tournament in Dallas.
"When you're an athlete and you're competing, you're not thinking about what you're going to feel like when you're 60 years old," said former defensive tackle Randy White.
"I was very devastated to hear the news. But I understand why it happened," said former Cowboy Timmy Newsome. "Those collisions come at a cost and we have to take care of players that played in those days and I think this is about that."
"I'm definitely one of those guys that hit him a lot in practice, you know," said former Cowyboy Bill Bates. "It's just part of it. It's part of football."
Researchers have found traces of CTE in more than 50 former NFL players who have died and undergone autopsies.
"We're going to do all we can to support Tony, his family, anybody else that's suffering from this devastating result on one's health," said Preston Pearson, another former player.
Each of the men praised Dorsett's fighting spirit. It's the same one that pushes him to bring attention to the pain he suffers from playing the sport he loves.

HRE carbon fiber wheels for all your customizing desires
by George Kennedy (RSS feed) on Nov 1st, 2012 at 10:30AM
HRE has brought some pretty excellent wheels to market in the past, such as the retro-tastic Vintage Series, bridging old and new in fantastic fashion. The wheel-maker's latest offering is the Carbon Series CF2 Concept, now on display at SEMA. The wheels are not entirely made up of carbon fiber, as you can see. HRE's forged aluminum center is fitted with a rim made of the exotic material. Wheel sizes range from 19 to 22 inches, and widths from 9 to 12 inches. HRE claims a weight savings of 25 percent over typical aluminum wheels. According to HRE president Alan Peltier, "Our most... Read More

Mercy and UTMC end partnership talks
Mercy Health Partners and the University of Tennessee Medical Center have ended discussions to pursue a partnership.
The system plans to issue a request for proposals from other prospective joint venture partners and/or buyers for some or all of Mercy's facilities.
Meanwhile, Mercy has named as its new CEO Jeff Ashin, currently COO of the Metro Division and president of Mercy St. Mary's.
Letters to respective hospital staff follow:As many of you know, some time ago I announced that I will retire on December 15. My time here in the Tennessee Region has been among the most meaningful in my career and I depart with a deep and abiding admiration for all that the Mercy family has accomplished over the past three years. When I look back on all of your hard work to merge our cultures, to dramatically improve operational effectiveness, to embrace quality and patient safety, and, most importantly, to remain true to our mission despite the economic environment in which we have operated, I confess that I am in awe and I thank you all.
Going forward, outstanding leadership will be more important than ever and I am pleased to announce that the Board has selected Jeff Ashin to serve as the next CEO of the Tennessee Region. Jeff has provided extraordinary service in his role as Chief Operating Officer of the Metro Division and President of Mercy St. Mary's and I am confident that he will bring the same energy, dedication and expertise to his new role. I hope you will join me in congratulating Jeff and thanking him for his willingness to take on this new assignment.
You may also recall that in August, I announced that Mercy Health Partners and the University of Tennessee Medical Center had entered into discussions regarding the potential for our working together to improve quality and efficiency in the delivery of healthcare services throughout the region. At a meeting earlier today, I informed the MHP Board that these discussions have not resulted in an agreement to proceed with the current proposal. All of us here at Mercy appreciate UTMC's willingness to join us in taking a fresh look at how we might work together on behalf of our community and we remain open to future discussions with UT should additional opportunities emerge.
As a result of the decision not to move forward on the current proposal with UTMC, the Board has authorized us to issue a Request for Proposals from other prospective joint venture partners and/or buyers for some or all of MHP's facilities. The Board felt that this action was prudent now because Mercy Health Partners is very strong operationally, delivering high levels of efficiency, quality and patient satisfaction, thus making us an attractive partner. Despite our outstanding operational performance, however, as we look to the future we will continue to need an infusion of additional capital in order to reduce the operational impact of our debt load and thus enable us to invest in the growth of our facilities, service lines, programs and people.
I confess that this decision has been a very difficult one for both the Board and for me personally. I became convinced that it was the right decision intellectually long before I could accept it emotionally. In the end, however, I came to understand that taking this important strategic step at this time is indeed in the best interest of Mercy and the communities we serve. Each of you will no doubt go through a similar thought process and that is both understandable and healthy.
Parenthetically, given that many of our colleagues have asked questions about the future of Mercy Medical Center West, I want to make it clear that Mercy West remains an integral part of our system and we are not pursuing a separate partnership/sale strategy for that facility.
As we consider potential partners or purchasers, I want to assure you that we will use a set of Guiding Principles to assess our prospective partners' or purchasers' commitments to the fundamentals of our ministry. These principles include our desire to work only with organizations that respect our mission and core values; are willing to consider significant ways we can creatively maintain and build upon the legacy of our founders; and share our commitment to investing in our service lines, programs, facilities and people. While we cannot guarantee that a partner or purchaser will agree to all of these principles, our goals will be to assure that the principles for which we have stood over the last 80 years will continue, even if in a new form, and that the interests of our associates are protected to the greatest degree possible.
A Final Note: While I recognize that some will see the current situation as the commencement of another period of uncertainty, I see it instead as one of hope and opportunity as we seek to identify a new source of capital for our system. I am heartened by the resilience our associates and physician partners have demonstrated over the past three years and am confident that if we stay focused on our mission and on providing our patients with the best possible care of body, mind and spirit, we will indeed emerge as a stronger, more vibrant organization. Let's all pray that God will grant our leadership the gifts of courage and discernment as we move forward and that He will grant us all the confidence that comes in knowing that Christ walks with us every step of the way.
A. David Jimenez
Chief Executive Officer
In August, I promised to keep you informed about discussions between The University of Tennessee Medical Center and Mercy Health Partners and the potential of our organizations working together in some capacity to benefit the community. In keeping with that promise, I want to let you know discussions between our organizations have not resulted in an agreed upon structure. Therefore, Mercy will begin to explore other options available to them.
We truly appreciate the leaders at Mercy and enjoyed the good faith efforts and good intentions shared by both organizations during the discussions. We are certainly open to the idea of any future opportunities that allow us to advance on behalf of our patients the strong delivery of care that already exists at the medical center. We will always remain true to our mission of finding ways to best serve the community through healing, education and discovery. Thank you for your hard work to help us meet our mission.
Joseph R. Landsman, Jr.
President and CEO, The University of Tennessee Medical Center

The electronics titans square off in a tangled tale of mobile technology, centered on Apple's iPhone
While it doesn't offer much to distinguish itself from other Android tablets, the Galaxy Tab 4 Nook is a decent 7-inch tablet at an affordable price.
The Samsung Galaxy Tab 4 is a smooth-performing midrange slate, but it's overpriced compared to similar tablets.
The Samsung Galaxy Tab Pro 10.1 delivers everything casual tablet users will need, but it's all tied down to an inflated price tag that makes comparable options more attractive to budget-conscious shoppers.
The premium specs and high-end feel of the Samsung Galaxy Tab Pro 8.4 make it well worth the high price.
Not quite a workstation replacement, the Samsung Galaxy Note Pro is an expensive behemoth of a tablet with a vast amount of features that will benefit only the most serious of tablet users.
Buy the Samsung Galaxy Light if you're looking for Android on a budget -- just be aware that you're trading price for performance.
With its slim design, fantastic screen, and oodles of power, the Samsung Galaxy Tab S 8.4 is a superb smaller tablet, and a worthy competitor to the ever-popular iPad Mini.
If you absolutely must have a phone with an optical zoom, the K Zoom is basically your only option. It's bulky though, and the pictures it takes aren't any better than the Galaxy S5's. You'll be far better off with a cheap Android phone and a decent compact digital camera.
Though it's only marginally more durable than the original Galaxy S5, the Galaxy S5 Active's physical buttons and high-end features keep it in Samsung's hit parade.
Except for Galaxy compatibility, the Samsung Level On doesn't offer anything you won't find in other, better on-ear headphones for the same price.

It hasn't been the prettiest of first quarters in Oklahoma City, but the Thunder are leading the Orlando Magic 27-22. Dwight Howard, amid all the trade speculation, leads everybody with seven points and five rebounds, dominating the paint, showing that, at least in the first quarter of the season, the distractions haven't affected him.
Kevin Durant has four points and three assists so far, and the Thunder offense has flowed through him thus far, and four different players have at least four points, with Russell Westbrook leading them all with five points. They've played together and, despite Howard's numbers, have played a much more solid defensive game than they did for the second half of last season.
Though it's early, this game looks like, in terms of the scoring margin, it will shape up to be every bit as competitive as the earlier season-opening games on Christmas,

More reviews by ThatLadyNextDoor
This has become my HG powder thanks to P'ville!! I was a little hesitant about this product due to the fact it's theatrical makeup. Why do I want theatrical makeup? Well, I bit my tongue there. This beat all of the powders I have purchased and tried. I actually threw away my MAC Blot Powder for this. After all the years of wearing MAC powders, this is the absolute winner. It's light, airy. A little goes a long way if you use a powder brush with it. You get a HUGE amount of product. I'm an oily skin sufferer and have been since I was 13 yrs. old. I've been using this product for 2 months now. I apply my makeup in the morning and take it off at night. I only have to re-touch twice, compared to MAC Blot Powder (which is more than 5x). This product did not clog my pores nor did it make my NC40 skin turn into a pale color. The powder is white, but translucent. It will not mess your foundation up. If you are like me and suffer from break-outs and oiliness, try this product. If you don't like it you could always swap it. This stuff is worth it!!

Will I buy this again??? Absolutely!! The best mattifying powder ever! And my skin is soooo soooo oily...this keeps it matte for hours and hours..no lie...if you have oily skin..run and get it... **love**
2 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
Just got this today....I was so excited I put it on after being out all day. I was about 1/2 as oily as I usually get. I used my Mary Kay oil mattifying lotion in the morning so I wasn't oil slick level but even then, I noticed the difference after putting this on. I feel so comfortable, not oily at all, not dried out mask-like, no heavy makeup feel, I don't even feel like I have anything on my face, just nice and matte.
There's no odor to it, it's lightweight and translucent..I do not look like I have any powder on at all!! It felt like heaven going on with my Sonia Kashuk powder brush.
It's the weekend and the real test is Monday at work, when I start at 6am and finish at 6pm...we'll see how it goes!!
10/28/09: Update- I have since stopped using my MK oil mattifying and just use this powder once at 5:30am and a quick touch up at 12:00pm, although I'm not oily at noon, I just like to refresh my make-up mid-day so I finish it off with this.....I won't ever be out of this powder if I can help it..8)
10/15/10: 2nd update: I'm so mad that the TSA took my Kryolan at the airport...it's kinda suspicious looking I guess, white powder in a plain lil jar with a silver lid, but please!!! I was very upset!! anyhow, bought it again and am in love again.....i brush it on around 6 am and don't have to freshen my face all day if I don't want to, no more oil slicks for me and I won't let the TSA have it this time..ha!ha! (btw, bought it off ebay for about $22 delivered)

OH MY GOODNESS. I really wish there were a way for me to adequately convey what a miracle product this is. I know some other ladies have said this, but you must understand that I have OFF THE CHARTS oily skin. I used to have to literally come home and wash my face all over again if I wanted to go somewhere after work because my face was an oil slick. My face would shine from the time I left my makeup mirror to when I got downstairs. I've found a lot of products which help oil in the last decade. I'm no longer an oil slick, but I do find that I have to blot a lot no matter what I use...UNTIL NOW. I just got this yesterday and I put on my makeup to go to church. First of all, this looked different from the moment I put it on. My face looked smooth and airbrushed without a hint of shine. That NEVER happens with anything else on my makeup table. So off to church I go...Now, I'm baptist and we PARTY in my church!! I had to sing for 2 straight services and when you have a 7 piece band, you can imagine that we WORK in church. But when I left the second service (I don't even bother to look in a mirror while at church. Makeup is the last thing on my mind) my face could do with a little blot but it was NOTHING like it normally is. The bigger test will be when I go to work tomorrow. My day starts at 4:00 am so by noon, I usually don't have that flawless look I like. I'm so excited to see how my face will look tomorrow! Will update tomorrow night.
UPDATE: OK here it is ladies. I took a few days to try the powder with a few different foundations. Here's what I've found: It works best for me if I use the Kryolan as a base AND a finishing powder. I used different liquid foundations and once I put a powder foundation on with a thin coat of liquid to make me glow. The firs day, I made it until 11:00 am...7 hours. WOW. The second day (with the powder foundation) I didn't blot ONCE all day and my face was oil free! On the 3rd day I used another liquid and had to blot. I used Urban decay De-slick mattifying powder ONCE during the day and my face remained FLAWLESS for like 13 hours! WOOHOO!! HG ladies!! NO QUESTION.

I have never tried a Kryolan product before and I'm generally afraid of stage makeup because I figured it would look odd in real life. The ingredients are minimum and supposed to be similar to rice powder.
I feel this powder simply does what it is suppose to and nothing else which is why it works great for me. It truly does mattify. I can put it on anyway I please-before another powder, after liquid or over a powder to set and get rid of shine. It does look too light at first but settles down and blends in with my skin and then looks like natural shine free skin. It's neither chalky or dull. I love it and it easily works in my face makeup routine.

You get a huge jar of this for what I consider to be not much money. Taking into account the small amount you need to use each time, I will have this powder for a long long time. Now about the powder....most amazing I have ever used. I am an oil slick, usually within an hour or less of putting on makeup and yes that includes controlling foundation and using primers. But this powder controls shine so well. It imparts a shine free, nearly poreless look to your skin. It is white in the jar but colorless on the skin. I cannot say enough about how wonderful this product is.
2 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
is this stuff for real?? i cannot get over how wonderfully it works. i used to have to apply powder/blot at least every hour, or else i looked disgustingly shiny. with this powder, i can go four to five hours without even getting dewy. it saves me sooo many bathroom trips to check how greasy i'm looking, and it makes my makeup look so perfect and helps my pores disappear. you can get it by searching for it on ebay. HG stuff.

This is a great product. It truly does beat my MAC Prep + Prime Transparent Finishing Powder. The Kryolan sets my makeup and keeps it shine-free longer. It does have a drier texture than the MAC but that probably just makes it work better. This jar will last me a very long time since it is so big and if I ever run out I would repurchase. Great price too! I purchased from funhousetheatricalcostumes (which has a website and an ebay store) for around $15 plus shipping.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I have combination skin and am always a bit shiny (or sometimes even oily when the weather is warm) at the t-zone. So, I have been searching for ages for a nice product that can give me decent oil-control. Sadly, most mattifying products, especially powders are cakey...
I was in love with Maybelline's dream matte powder before Kryolan, I mean, I still like the maybelline's one, but after trying Kryolan's anti-shine powder... Oh boy I am in love!
This powder comes in a big jar, and looks completely white, but the powder is very fine, almost like flour? It is very lightweight. I use a kabuki brush to dap and buff it onto my t-zone, and at once, my face looks airbrushed! I agree that it leaves a satin, dewy finish, so, it controls oil really well, doesn't dry me out, and doesn't make my face mask-like. I love love love this powder, got it for $14 or so on ebay, and it is definitely worth the price. (the container is big, so I don't think I will need to repurchase anytime soon; but if I am running out of it, I will go, no, I mean RUN to repurchase!)
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I used to have problem skin and by that I mean very, very oily throughout the day. I constantly tried different products for oil control and nothing worked.
Except this.
This powder is absolutely amazing! It's super soft and light and blends right in. I put on my foundation and then brush on a put of this on my forehead, nose and chin and I don't get oily at all. The only time I get oily is if I'm conscious of my face and I touch my face, it wipes away the powder and of course the oil appears minutes later.
I just wish they had this in a compact/pressed form. Unfortunately this cannot be pressed.

Keiser University was originally founded in Florida as a private, for profit certificate completion institute in the late 1970s. Today, Keiser is a full-scaled non-for-profit university that confers both undergraduate and graduate degrees. Since it is primarily an educational rather than a research institution, faculty are fully dedicated to providing students with a well-rounded, personalized experience.
Since beginning to offer graduate degrees, Keiser students can now choose to pursue advanced degrees and careers in fields like education and business administration, psychology, and design. Many of these graduate programs are also offered through Keiser University Online. Keiser's online degree programs are ideal for the non-traditional students who need the time and flexibility to compete the degree on their own time.
Of course, the majority of Keiser's degree programs are exclusively offered on-campus. Luckily, students can choose to attend any of Keiser's fourteen Florida campuses. The main campus is located in Ft. Lauderdale and is home to KU's Graduate and Online departments, as well as its Spanish-speaking division. It is also the corresponding campus to an off-site location in Shanghai, China.
Keiser University allows special status for military students transitioning into the civilian sector. It is in the top 15% of "military-friendly" schools, as compiled by GI Jobs. Keiser offers military personnel VA benefits, tuition assistance, and considers military training for college credit. Its military-friendly status is one of the many factors that prove Keiser University's dedication to a personalized, student-oriented education.
Since career placement is one of the most important measures of Keiser's success, the school enlists the help of statewide employers to evaluate their core curriculum every year. Over seventy percent of Keiser students already work full or part-time in order to support their family; and most of these students are seeking a degree in order to make a specific job change. After thirty years in the education business, KU maintains its commitment to provide these mid-career students with the most affordable and accessible career advancement programs available.
To assist their students, Keiser offers financial aid. However, financial aid is only available for those who qualify. There are also scholarship opportunities for those who qualify. If students have previously earned college credits, they may be able to transfer them toward a degree at Keiser. Acceptance of transfer credits are subject to review by the school and cannot be guaranteed.

If you had a morbid curiosity to see what notoriously overtanned mom Patricia Krentcil would look like naked, you can kiss those dreams goodbye. Krentcil will not be posing nude — at least not in the pages of ultra-classy Playboy.
44-year-old Krentcil, as TMZ reported, was all about posing nude if given the opportunity. However, her enthusiasm proved short-lived when Playboy laid the smack down on the idea.
"It wouldn't even be considered," a Playboy source told TMZ.
What a shame. Krentcil is going to have to find some other way to get more attention, after she made headlines following accusations that she allowed her 5-year-old daughter to go into a tanning bed.
Let's hope she doesn't take Octomom Nadya Suleman's lead and go straight to porn.
