Very nice product, not really a true BB Cream but it is very nice to use as a primer and has a nice SPF value.
I really like this one on the days I want to skip foundation! It's quick and easy and non-offensive.
I just wash my face, slap this baby on, add some gloss and mascara and I'm good to go!
It leaves a little tint and a sheer amount of colour that helps even out my skin. It isn't too oily.
The bottle is ok, no complaints. I do not use this product every day but rather on an as-needed basis for busy mornings.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I dont understand the rave on this stuff. I thought it looked orangey and after about an hour my skin looked really greasy thanks to this stuff. Im glad it works for some people but all it did for me was hurt my appearance rather than make it better
OMGoodness. I had such high expectations for this cream. I felt like at last there is a light moisterizer with light coverage as I dont really like heavy foundations. I wanted a nice natural dewy even sheer coverage for my skin. and better yet if it does all the other things it claimed to do. Well this was such a disappointment. My face broke out in fine pimples as well as blackheads. At first i though it was maybe my hormones so i decided to take a break from anything thats make up. once i stopped using it, my skin cleared up. when i started using it again. my face broke out that same day.
I also recommended this product to my girlfriend and she experienced the same thing! so we ditched it...another disspointment. Although I love maybelline's products, this one was not a hit at all...

I don't know where to start with this product. I just flat out don't like it. It doesn't live up to its claims as an "8 in 1 skin perfector" and I saw no real skin care benefits after using it for over a month. It's a tinted moisturizer with a fancy name. As a tinted moisturizer I would have probably given it at least a 3 but as a BB cream, I was very disappointed. The price was pretty reasonable at $8.99 and it did make my skin look a little more even after application and protects my face from the sun but any tinted moisturizer can do that. Overall, a thumbs down on this product and a huge let down. I would definitely not repurchase this.
I tried this today. I didn't find it to be blendable. I feel like it was sinking into my flaws, not airbrushing them out. Try Almay Smart Shade instead. Light, better consistency and blendability.....nice and light. I will try it again, maybe with moisturizer underneath. If I change my mind, I will update this post :)
I tried this over the summer. I has to use a moisturizer underneath, but it made a nice, light sunscreen for the extra hot summer we had. The color & coverage worked for me.
I bought this product because I ran out of my Maybelline Fit Me foundation. I'm a huge fan of Maybelline products so I figured their BB cream would be as good as their other products. I was SO wrong. This product has done absolutely nothing for my skin. It was oily, and had little to no coverage. I found I had to use more concealer to cover all my skin imperfections because the BB cream didn't cover anything. I will not be purchasing this product again, I'll just go back to my foundation.
edit: I removed a lippie because it doesn´t last long, anda doesn´t seem to help my skin at all.
the problem with this product is color. the light shade is too dark, I think it´s not a perfect match for anyone under NC25 (or N3). I´m NC20 and I find it a little dark and as others have said peachy. On the good side I love the texture, as is not so thick as other bb creams I Know, and the high spf.
I hate wearing foundation and wanted to find something less heavy and something more natural looking. I have sensitive skin so a lot of foundations make me break out. I saw this bb cream in Walmart and decided to try it. I wore it the next day and I like the coverage, not too much but enough to cover any redness or small blemishes. By the middle of the day my skin was pretty oily. It didn't last all day either but to be honest I wasn't really expecting it to seeing as its not a full coverage foundation, more of a tinted moisturizer type thing. The next day I woke up and I had 3 new pimples. Ugh. I used it again probably 3 other times and every time it broke me out. I won't be using it again.

Thommo form pleases Jones
12 Dec 2007 - 09:07:29
Cardiff City striker Steven Thompson earned high praise from boss Dave Jones after netting the decisive goal in the 1-0 victory at Blackpool.
Thompson's strike helped the Bluebirds move six points clear of the drop zone, with Jones impressed by the efforts of the transfer-listed frontman.
He said: "No clubs have come in, so it's just a case of Thommo getting his head down.
"He's gone on the transfer list, but if he stays he might play. If he puts in the performances he is doing then he'll play.
"I don't care if he's on the transfer list or not. Nothing is personal in football, Thommo has accepted that and I have and it's up to him to keep going.
"He is on fire at the minute and when you're on fire as a striker everything you seem to hit seems to go in."
Thompson has scored in three of his last four games, outshining the likes of Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink and Robbie Fowler in the process.

NFL Nation: LeCharles Bentley
'Sports car' Warford thrives in starting role
It was a recruitment that began before Warford and Bentley first talked or actually met. It started with a television remote control, an obsession with college football and the need to flip through college games.
Bentley found Warford, now the Detroit Lions' starting right guard, while watching Kentucky play Western Kentucky. The former NFL offensive lineman didn't care about the score. He observed Warford, his hip movement and how his explosion jumped off the screen. It made Bentley track the kid and eventually make his pitch.
"The deal was sealed once the meeting was over," Bentley said. "I knew what he wanted and he knew what I wanted and I knew that he was going to be willing to buy in. It takes time to develop that trust between athlete-trainer, athlete-coach. Obviously it was a little bit of trepidation there in that I only have X amount of time to get this thing right. 'OK, I got this, OK, we're going to get it done.'
"He understood what I was trying to get done, which was the exact opposite of what he had been hearing from so many different people. He just had to trust the process."
It began with making Warford, who weighed 343 pounds at Kentucky, leaner. Using a system without intense treadmill or high-impact aerobic workouts -- a system Bentley won't divulge -- he systematically made Warford thinner, stronger and more NFL-ready.
This helped impress scouts, general managers and coaches leading up to the draft. The weight shift also gave Bentley something to work with when Warford needed to transition to football training from the time organized team activities ended until training camp.
Among those who noticed were the Lions, who coached Warford during the Senior Bowl. After the game, he became a priority target. They drafted him hoping he'd one day be a starter.
The two months from OTAs to training camp shifted the timetable. Warford contended right away. He was able to compete because of small technical tweaks suggested by Lions offensive line coach Jeremiah Washburn during OTAs, and then again by Bentley when they resumed working out in Arizona.
"I was taking too big a step just off my first kick," Warford said. "I was really shifting my balance too much from one side to the other.
"All my weight would be distributed to my outside foot, so that would get me off-balance. You really don't notice it until somebody else says something to you. Even on film, it's hard to say, 'Am I really doing that?' Because you really can't tell."
Washburn and Bentley stayed in touch during the summer, exchanging text messages about Warford's progress. By the time Warford started camp, Washburn said Warford was more focused. More intent.
It was similar to an experience Bentley had as a rookie right guard playing next to Jerry Fontenot in New Orleans.
Both Washburn and Bentley credited each other for helping with the transformation of Warford into a player who has taken every snap for Detroit already this season.
"We did notice a big change in him when he came back in training camp as far as attitude, body," Washburn said. "Again, spending those however-many weeks in Arizona with LeCharles made a big difference.
"Then just his attitude, we knew he was going to make a significant push."
When Warford arrived at Bentley's facility after OTAs, he mentioned that the speed of everything overwhelmed him. So Bentley started to explain what he needed to do and how it would be counter to his likely plan of action.
Warford needed to give himself more space instead of crowding into a defensive lineman. It may not seem like much, but the one-to-two-tenths of a second Warford buys by stepping back to read what is going on has contributed to his success thus far.
"You have to literally think about your step, just take a step, take a step, shorten it, shorten it, shorten it," Warford said. "It has to get to where you have to do it so many times that you don't have to think about it anymore, you just have to do it. 'OK, that's it.'
"It's such a simple fix, but it makes the biggest of differences. That's the crazy thing about [the] offensive line. It's the subtle things that make the biggest differences."
One of the subtleties goes back to Bentley's initial plan -- to help Warford drop weight. Once Bentley changed his client's weight (he's now at 333 pounds), he knew Warford had the body type, the hip explosion and the skills to become a quality NFL offensive lineman.
Warford will have to watch his weight his whole career, but here's the scary part for opponents. What Detroit is seeing now could be the beginning.
"Larry is, he's a sports car naturally. Genetically, that's what he is," Bentley said. "But he just had this dump-truck frame. He's a guy that if you remove layers of what's presented to you, more and more of that sports car is going to come out.
"The really cool thing about Larry is he's not even near where he's going to be as he continues to grow in the NFL in terms of body composition. This is just the first year."
The NFL actually has 20 years to pay out the $765 million agreement; the league is also required to pay the players' legal fees on top of the $765 million. According to a court summary distributed to the media, the payment plan requires "approximately 50 percent of the settlement amount" to be paid over the next three years. The balance would be paid over the final 17 years.
Before legal fees, that works out to about $127.5 million in each of the next three years and then $22.5 million per year thereafter. That plan would work because the case won't pay out equally to each plaintiff. Instead, according to the document, "the precise amount of compensation will be based upon the specific diagnosis, as well as other factors including age, number of seasons played in the NFL and other relevant medical conditions."
I won't pretend to be a financial genius. But when an industry with $9 billion in annual revenues can pay out a landmark legal settlement over 20 years, I think we can politely call it manageable. A case that once threatened the league's existence has turned into a relative financial blip.
That realization spread quickly after Thursday's announcement, and I thought former NFL player LeCharles Bentley offered passionate but fair commentary on the topic via Twitter. Among his tweets:
Embarrassing, half the money now and rest over 17 years!! I'm going to lift weights, so disgusted. Sorry, to the players that deserved this.
— LeCharles Bentley (@LeCharlesBent65) August 29, 2013
765 million.... The league will get that back in fines in what.... Three weeks of cracking down even more in "illegal" hits.
— LeCharles Bentley (@LeCharlesBent65) August 29, 2013
To be clear, the NFL doesn't funnel fine money into its general fund. Instead, the league has said the funds go to "charitable purposes." But Bentley's point is well-taken. While $765 million sounds like a lot of money and is a lot of money, the payment schedule offers quite a soft landing.
Taylor's injury continues Browns' bad luck
Head coach Pat Shurmur announced that defensive tackle Phil Taylor would need surgery to repair a torn chest muscle and could miss the upcoming season.
In May 2005, Kellen Winslow's season ended when he tore the anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee in a motorcycle crash. In July 2006, LeCharles Bentley's season was done after he sustained an injury to his left knee on the first team drill of training camp. And middle linebacker D'Qwell Jackson missed 26 games in 2009-10 because of two pectoral muscle injuries.
The latest rough turn of events occurred Thursday when Taylor injured himself. It didn't occur on the field and it wasn't the result of a hit. Taylor tore his left pectoral muscle while doing bench presses in the weight room.
Taylor posted this message on Twitter: "Just a bump in the road. Got [to] work hard and come back -- Strong."
Injuries aren't the only reason why the Browns have lost 117 games since returning to the league 11 seasons ago. The instability in the front office and coaching staff shows Cleveland has struggled to find and develop talent.
It just seems like the Browns are dealing with a setback even before the regular seasons begins. This time, the injury hurts an already weak spot on the Browns team.
Even with a run-stuffer like Taylor, the Browns gave up 147.4 yards on the ground per game last season, which was third-worst in the NFL and last in the AFC. In comparison, the Ravens (92.6 yards rushing allowed), Steelers (99.8) and Bengals (104.7) all ranked in the top 10 in run defense last season.
The likely replacement is rookie sixth-round draft pick Billy Winn. Third-round nose tackle John Hughes could also figure into the competition. The interesting part is Winn and Hughes are roommates.
"We've already started to create that little bond," Winn told the Cleveland Plain Dealer. "We're roommates so we've been doing a little chatting and going over the playbook. We'll help each other out and compete against each other and make each other better."
But as the Browns wrap up the final month of the season, is their physicality starting to fade?
Is it possible the Browns are going "soft" down the stretch?
Former two-time Pro Bowler and Cleveland radio personality LeCharles Bentley believes that's the case. On ESPN's WKNR 850AM Monday Bentley, a former offensive lineman for Cleveland and the New Orleans Saints, didn't hold back when he described the Browns as "green-sticker nice guys" and not nearly as tough as they thought they were.
A few weeks ago toughness was never a question. Despite their lack of talent, the Browns were willing to bang heads with anyone for four quarters offensively and defensively, which made for competitive games. Only two of Cleveland's nine losses this year have come by more than a touchdown.
But lately the Browns have looked uninterested while getting pummeled by inferior opponents. Buffalo and Cincinnati outgained Cleveland in rushing by an astounding 380-164 margin. Bengals tailback Cedric Benson and Buffalo's Fred Jackson -- not necessarily household names -- combined for 262 rushing yards.
Whether it's a two-week anomaly for Cleveland remains to seen. But the Browns' toughness certainly will be tested down the stretch against two of the NFL's biggest bullies: the Baltimore Ravens (10-4) and Pittsburgh Steelers (10-4).
Will the Browns rediscover their physicality to end the season or continue to get pushed around?
A look at Butler's decision to retire at 26
Until Butler decides to speak about his decision to retire, we'll be left to wonder how he came to the surprising conclusion he was done with the NFL at 26.
The NFL almost always decides its done with you first.
All we've heard from Butler was a statement the Bills distributed, but last week at the NFL scouting combine I had the chance to sit down in Lucas Oil Stadium with another offensive lineman who suffered a knee injury when he was 26 and could've returned, but came to terms with the fact he just didn't want to play anymore.
"You've got to follow your heart," two-time Pro Bowl center LeCharles Bentley said.
Bentley posted four great seasons with the New Orleans Saints and signed a handsome deal with his hometown Cleveland Browns for 2006. On the first play of 11-on-11 drills on the first day of training camp, Bentley blew out his knee and never played again.
"All of a sudden, football lost its importance to me," Bentley said. "I wasn't distraught. I was more relieved than anything. I wanted to leave the game being able to stand on my own two feet, and I was able to do that.
"It's a difficult transition for those that don't prepare for it. That's true for most athletes. You never see your mortality. You feel that you're immortal and it's going to last forever. A lot of guys fail to understand that there is life after football. Those wheels will fall off at some point."
Bentley had offers to return and admittedly overpriced himself with the Detroit Lions. But he eventually figured he didn't want to return at any price. Bentley has pursued a broadcast career in Cleveland and covered the combine for his Web site, O-lineWorld.com.
"There's no groupies in blogging," Bentley said with a laugh. "There's no love in that."
Tell me about it.
Butler's career options are more substantial. He majored in government studies at Virginia and spent time on Capitol Hill during the 2008 offseason as an intern for Kemp Partners in Washington D.C. Kemp Partners was founded by former Congressman and legendary Bills quarterback Jack Kemp.
Butler also has participated in the NFL's business management and entrepreneurial programs at the Harvard Business, Stanford Business and Wharton Schools.
"For him to make the kind of decision he made, he's probably pretty far along in his decision-making process," Bentley said. "A lot of the milestones that players have to go through, he's probably already gone through them. I would have a hard time believing he's uncomfortable with that decision. There's something else out there for him. You don't make that type of decision without something profound pulling you in that direction."
Bentley recalled how difficult it was to retire when so many people around him wanted him to stay in the game. The fame, the glory, the money are alluring not only to the player, but also those who benefit from being close to him.
Butler also had to come to grips with the idea of leaving his teammates in a lurch. The Bills already were hurting along the offensive line before he told the team he was through with football.
"I lost some people because my decision wasn't a popular decision," Bentley said. "My ability as an athlete afforded some people around me luxuries that they wouldn't have had without me. Those people are no longer around.
"You get the velvet-rope treatment your entire life. Guys don't want to let that go. There's a psyche to growing up being The Man their entire life. Once you take off that helmet, those shoes, that jersey, you're who you are as a man. That's a bitter reality a lot of players aren't ready for."
3-4 teams need to hit defense on the nose
Getty Images
AFC East nose tackles Jason Ferguson, Vince Wilfork and Kris Jenkins are vital to their team's 3-4 defenses.
Without a nose, the face of the defense disappears.
"If you don't have a good nose guard, you don't have a 3-4 defense," two-time Pro Bowl center LeCharles Bentley said at the NFL scouting combine in Lucas Oil Stadium.
"You can build everything else around it. You can have a great pass-rusher. You can have a great safety like Troy Polamalu. But if you don't have a solid nose guard? You can't run a 3-4. That's the whole basis of the defense."
Nose guards, nose tackles, those mammoth ogres in the middle -- whatever you want to call them -- never have been a more valuable NFL commodity than they've been this offseason.
For proof, look no further than the AFC East, the only division where all four teams will operate out of a 3-4 design and have concerns at nose tackle.
The Buffalo Bills simply need one. They're switching from a 4-3. Miami Dolphins nose tackle Jason Ferguson is a free agent recovering from a torn quadriceps muscle. The New England Patriots placed the franchise tag on Vince Wilfork and are trying to negotiate a long-term deal. New York Jets stud Kris Jenkins is coming off a knee injury.
As more teams convert to the 3-4, the need for nose tackles increases. Fewer of them are available.
"There are only so many big guys walking on this earth," Dolphins general manager Jeff Ireland said. "It's a big priority in any defense. When you find them, you've got to keep them."
How rare are athletic humans who weigh 350 pounds? Rob Rang, the senior analyst for NFLDraftScout.com, considers this year's class of nose tackles to be "pretty strong compared to past years" with only three top prospects: Tennessee's Dan Williams, Alabama's Terrence Cody and North Carolina's Cam Thomas.
"There aren't a lot of guys with that kind of size and any speck of athletic ability," Rang said.
Bills head coach Chan Gailey said his criteria in identifying a nose tackle includes "huge, big, fast, nasty." But he might have to settle for whatever he can find.
"Everybody's looking for a certain type of guy," said Gailey, who doesn't seem to have a decent candidate on his roster but owns the ninth pick in April's draft. "There's not a lot of them, to be perfectly honest. You either have to take people that you have and adapt, or you don't have to play the same type of 3-4.
"While we're all looking for that prototypical nose guy, there's a lot of good football players out there that don't fit that prototype, but at the same time can be productive players for you on the field. If you can't get it, you adjust."
To look at their stats, nothing suggests a nose tackle's significance to a defense. They don't register many sacks. They're not among their team's tackle leaders or turnover creators.
Wilfork, for instance, is considered an elite nose tackle. Last season, he had no sacks or quarterback hits and was fifth in tackles for the Patriots. He forced one fumble and didn't recover any.
But what a quality nose tackle does is absorb linemen and disrupt lanes for a defense that's susceptible to the run merely by nature of its design. Before every snap, there are large bubbles over both guard positions to run through. Nose tackles plug those holes.
"A 3-4 defense allows you to create more mismatches," said Bentley, who is covering the combine for his Web site, O-lineWorld.com. "You can be as exotic as you want to be. Defensive coordinators can become mad scientists. Bill Belichick and Rex Ryan are prime examples of that. Those blitz packages they can throw at you are unbelievable.
"The nose guard is a one-man show. He makes you play honest football."
No wonder three teams used the franchise tag to keep a free-agent nose tackle from hitting the open market: Wilfork, Aubrayo Franklin of the San Francisco 49ers and Ryan Pickett of the Green Bay Packers.
Unless a long-term deal can be negotiated, the franchise tag guarantees a one-year deal for the average of the five highest-paid players at his position. This year's franchise figure for defensive tackles is a shade above $7 million.
"The tag's not outrageous, price-wise," 49ers general manager Scot McCloughan said. "It makes good business sense not only from the standpoint of financials, but also because of the importance of the position."
By using the franchise tag to keep nose tackles from hitting unrestricted free agency, front offices essentially are price-fixing. It's not collusion, per se, but general managers realize the price tag for nose tackles would skyrocket if they went to the auction block.
Teams know a good nose tackle is worth more than $7 million a year even though they don't sell tickets or jerseys.
"They don't want to pay those guys the salaries of the most important guy on the defense," Bentley said. "It's going to be very hard to justify and a very difficult pill to swallow when you're paying your nose guard $9 million a year. People think, 'You don't pay those guys. All they do is take up space.'
"But if you don't have them, you don't have a defense."

Here are the most interesting stories Friday in the AFC North:
- The tight ends of the Pittsburgh Steelers could make an impact during Super Bowl XLIII against the Arizona Cardinals.
Morning take: Pittsburgh's Heath Miller has been solid in the postseason, averaging 16.5 yards per catch. He could be a sleeper in this game.
- Are the Cincinnati Bengals eyeing defensive tackles at the Senior Bowl?
Morning take: This is not a bad position to fill now that John Thornton likely won't return. But a lineman on either side would work.
- There was a LeCharles Bentley sighting in Cleveland Thursday.
Morning take: In reading this story, it doesn't sound like Bentley is too eager to return to football, which is somewhat surprising.
- Count former NFL Pro Bowler Warren Sapp among the people who feel the Baltimore Ravens must keep linebacker Ray Lewis.
Morning take: Sapp is in the majority. There aren't many who think Lewis should be in another uniform next season.
Walker's morning take: Bentley still unemployed month after release
Posted by ESPN.com's James Walker
Here is your one-stop shopping for the best stories around the AFC North:
- Over the weekend, Tony Grossi of the Cleveland Plain Dealer noted that four weeks have passed since former Browns center LeCharles Bentley asked for his release and he has yet to find a new team.
Walker's take: This is an odd time to find work as front offices spend most of July on vacation and negotiating rookie contracts. Bentley will get a look somewhere, even if it's not at the start of training camp.
- Aaron Wilson of the Carroll County Times says the Baltimore Ravens' special-teams units could be special this year.
Walker's take: Two years ago, Ravens rookie head coach John Harbaugh and new assistant Jerry Rosburg may have been the top special teams coaches in the NFL. Now those two minds are together in Baltimore.
- Albert Breer of SportingNews.com ranks the Ravens as the third-best destination for Brett Favre in the event he leaves the Green Bay Packers. The Minnesota Vikings and Tampa Bay Buccaneers were No. 1 and No. 2, respectively.
Walker's take: I am in total agreement. See for yourself.
- Christopher L. Gasper of the Boston Globe did a profile on Donte' Stallworth's move from the New England Patriots to the Cleveland Browns. In the article Stallworth says, "I've been kind of joking with Randy [Moss] and some of the guys that the road to the Super Bowl goes through Cleveland."
Walker's take: Has the road to the Super Bowl ever gone through Cleveland? The last time the Browns won a football championship was in 1964, before the NFL/AFL merger.

Iran on Tuesday started enriching uranium to a level of 20 percent at its Natanz enrichment facility under the surveillance of inspectors from the UN nuclear watchdog. According to Iran's Press TV, the move comes after Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad tasked the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran with enriching uranium to 20 percent in order to meet the demands of the country's cancer patients.
Iran has earlier informed the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) that it would start enriching uranium to 20 percent on Tuesday in the presence of the inspectors and observers from the agency. Iran needs 120 kg of 20 percent-enriched uranium to fuel the Tehran research reactor.

The Upside Down World of Philippe Ramette

"The Upside Down World of Philippe Ramette" From 16 February 2012 – April 29 2012 the Bangkok Art and Culture Centre features French contemporary sculptor and photographer Philippe Ramette. The Upside Down World is a collection of beautifully absurd photographs. The pictures show Ramette himself in his black suit among stunning landscapes, his figure posed in gravity defying and logic defying ways, all without retouching. Philippe Ramette is a French sculptor and photographer born in 1961. He likes to defy the laws of gravity, as well as those of logic. Although he defines himself primarily as a sculptor, he started to use photography early on as a means of including himself within his own works. This became a pretext to all sorts of experimenting. Ramette stages himself in his black suit: he creates stunning images of landscapes, which he himself integrates in the most astonishing way. He then produces shots in cooperation with photographer Marc Domage. These photos are never retouched because, above all, Philippe Ramette aims at remaining to remain in touch with the sculptural aspect of his work. Location: Bangkok Art and Culture Centre. (National Stadium BTS Opposite the MBK Shopping Centre) Open daily except Mondays 10:00-21:00. Free admission!

Typical Bert Raymond...always the anglo's fault. The Bob Gainey era may have ended on a sad note but I would not characterize his 9 years as a failure. Considering where this franchise was when he took over, the Habs came back from a long way. Let's not forget his personal tragedy...for everything he's done as a player + GM, please some respect. That being said Gauthier had to go..in this modern communication age, you can"t have a gag order on everyone in the organization. I for one, don't want Julien Brisebois..why because he is the assistant GM of crappy Tampa team (give me a break). Because Carbo thinks he would make a goof GM. Even more reason not to hire this guy. Carbo is still bitter (get over it already!) and not a very good coach. (failed as junior and under 18 coach). And please, no Andre Savard (I know Bert Raymond thinks he's the best thing since sliced bread) but the only job he found after leaving the Habs is assistant coach with the Pens. My choice, the assistant GM with the Hawks Bergevin. He's been around the Bowmans, and has a ton of experience as both an amateur and pro scout. Let the new era of the Habs begin! C'est le but! - Comment on Canadiens off on Monday (2012-01-23 10:23:28)
Jack Todd is nothing but a failed frustrated novelist who is angry at the world...besides he is a closet Bruins fan all the way. Funny, none of the Bruins ever make his zeros of the week regardless of their actions. Jack Todd as a sports journalist is worthless...Todd knows next to nothing about hockey but yet every week writes his garbage of dumping on everything Habs. He's a Bruins fans and thus hates everything Habs. To heck with Jack Todd. Here's someone who in the last 10 years has given up on his career and no longer cares and just cares about his paycheck from the Gazette...He should go out to pasture and take Red Fisher with him. They can spend their days watching tapes of the 70s Habs while sipping prune juice . Make way for journalists who understand today's hockey! C'est le but! - Comment on And here come the Rangers (2012-01-15 13:33:33)
Why does Hal Gill get ice time instead of Emilen? Why is our only physical d-man a healthy scratch? Management comments that they need to get bigger but bench the only physical dman. Seriously, time to get rid of Skillsie. Let Emilen develop by getting ice time not press box time. C'est le but! - Comment on Liveblog: Tough loss (2011-12-29 15:44:53)
Agree with VancouverHab...the GM reign of Andre Savard has been greatly over-rated by the French media, and Gainey's reign greatly under-rated simply because Gainey is an anglo. Let's face it, despite that Gainey learned French, made Montreal his home, he was never going to be given the benefit of the doubt because he was an anglo. Let's not forget the personal tragedy he suffered as Habs GM. Not saying Gainey was perfect or the best GM ever but overall his time as GM was positive and the Habs enjoyed their best years post 93 cup under his watch. Besides, look at who started this Andre Savard GM conversation...Bert Raymond. Raymond is really past his due date, and recently was still harping on about how the Habs didn't sign Denis Gauthier 2-3 years ago! Denis Gauthier who was passed over by all 29 other clubs, but Bert still complains the Habs didn't sign him for 800K. The audacity of the Habs to not sign a washed-up Francophone player is a travesty that still haunts Raymond to this day!!! The Andre Savard GM (oh how you were so poorly treated by the Habs) is more garbage served up by an old, separatist, lazy francophone journalist. Bert Raymond, and Rejean Tremblay..lazy journalists at their best. The fact that no other team in the NHL hired Andre Savard as GM or even asst GM or head of scouting speaks volumes of the job he did in Mtl. The guy had to get a friendship job as an asst coach by Michel Therrien. Oh and as for Denis Gauthier, you can catch him on RDS because no one else in the NHL thought he was worth 800K of salary space. As for tonight...Go Habs Go! C'est le but! - Comment on On to Chicago (2011-12-20 23:01:07)
As a Habs fan, I can't wait for the 2011 calendar year to end...2011 has not been kind to the Habs....Max Pac nearly getting killed, losing 3 OTs and the series to Boston, Bruins winning the cup, Markov not playing a new game in the new season, lots of injuries, poor seasons so far for Cammy, Gomez and Gionta, and now this BS with the interim 'anglo' coach. With the way some of the media and the politicians are going about this, you'd think Molson took a dump and wiped his butt with the QUebec flag. Seriously this is an interim coach. I am hoping that a few wins and the holidays will see this whole language debate blow over and we can go back to discussing HOCKEY and THE HABS. I am born and raised in Mtl, am not a francophone but am married to one...yeah the Habs are part of Quebec culture but they also represent Mtl a cosmopolitan city. RC is an interim coach of the Habs not some all powerful being placed in Montreal to destroy the French culture and language. French media and politicians and others dying for attention are tripping over themselves to show everyone else how 'Quebecois' they are are by showing their outrage over RC being named INTERIM coach. A lot of this is supported by Peladeau and his b-tch Rejean Tremblay bitter that he didn't get the Habs. Peladeau is a weasel and I hope for one that he never becomes an NHL owner especially in QUebec city. I say Seattle and Hamilton before Quebec City as long as the weasel Peladeau is involved. My rant is over. I want to wish everyone on this site a Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, and a great 2012. Let's hope that 2012 is a much better year for the Habs than 2011 was. Best of luck to RC for 2012 because the garbage you've had to put up with so far is unbelievable. PS: Gauthier should go, not so much for his hockey operations but much more for his dictatorship in running the Habs front office. Vincent Damphousse would make a great GM in my eyes and he has made the most sense on RDS than anyone else ever since RC was hired. C'est le but! - Comment on String of road games begins for Canadiens (2011-12-19 09:17:53)
Jack Todd is a has been...he is past his due date by about 10 years ever since the Expos left town. He knows very little about hockey an for the last 2-3 years he has stopped being entertaining and just down right mean-spirited and twisting facts to suit his articles...following the path of Rejean Tremblay and Bert Raymond. Even his heros and zeros...Tim Tebow is a zero because he prays and is a devout Christian!!! I am not religious myself but there is probably a lot more zeros (steroids and guns) than Tim Tebow in the NFL. Todd is a failed novelist and it must burn him up. Todd, a once entertaining columnist but now mean spirited SOB is in my zero list for 2011. RC is an impossible position...a writer at La Presse writes about the Habs broken contract with francophones and Quebec...really? RC is an interim coach. I am married to a francophone and I agree that the coach should be able to speak french. (An anglo who learns and speaks french is fine by me). But to make a stink for an interim coach halfway through the season is pathetic. Nationalism is a cheap way to sell papers and draw attention to yourself. RC is the logical choice and is in my opinion the best person to turn the Habs around. C'est le but! - Comment on Sunday argument-starter (2011-12-11 10:33:51)
As for T.Kabs contract...I would give the benefit of the doubt to PG and company to manage the salary cap. Besides with collective bargaining between the NHL and the players who knows what the salary cap will look like. For the rest of the year, this is a non-issue. The Habs will not lose Price or Subban because they picked up Kaberle. I think the Habs should look at moving Cammy. He seems dis-interested and down right unhappy. Not sure what value he has (I know he has value but at the same time do not see many teams giving up much to acquire him). C'est le but! - Comment on Sunday argument-starter (2011-12-11 10:27:16)
Right now, Campoli sits in my humble opinion. It is a shame he got hurt but he now has to wait his turn...that being said, I would insert Campoli into the mix before Weber should a dman get hurt. I would however tweak the pairings a bit because I'd prefer seeing Emeilin on the left side his natural position: Here are my pairings: PK Gill Gorges Kabs Diaz Emelin. 7th dman: Campoli. As for Markov, we'll see if he is ready in Feb. C'est le but! - Comment on Habs Future (2011-12-05 21:54:35)
Thanks Serious (Robert). Great job as usually. Look forward to this segment every week. Steve Qualier was featured in LaPresse this week by Mathius Brunet (for those of you who read french, probably the best hockey writer around, shout out to Hickey and MA Godin). His coach at Northeastern (who was a pro scout for the Pens and Isles) for 18 years thinks Qualier will be in the NHL one day. I know it's his coach and probably wants to boast the kid's confidence but he did say that he is great in all three zones and is very aware defensively something you don't see often in the NCAA. Let's hope he continues to develop. Brunet also highlighted Mac Bennet who in his 2nd yr is already on the 1st pair d-men with Pateryn. Apparently Bennet is doing very well but needs to work on his positioning...who knows a future pair of d-men for the Habs... Serious (Robert) have you heard of Simon Boisvert aka Snake1970...He turned his posts on Brunet's blog into a part time amateur scout gig with the Cape Breton Screaming Eagles. Not sure if that is something you'd want to do but if it is the best of luck...I think you just might have the eye. C'est le but! - Comment on Over to you, Shanny (2011-12-04 08:39:09)
Why should Tootoo get suspended, he was pushed into Miller, he played the puck and seemed to try to avoid Miller. If Lucic couldn't avoid contact then I'd have to give the benefit of the doubt to Tootoo. I am sure he can argue intent with Shanahan. But Tootto doesn't play for the Bruins so he'll get a few games. The NHL is a bush league...a complete bush league. What's worse, the Bruins get away with everything while other teams must follow the rules. A bush league. Shanahan is as big a joke as Campbell was. No consistency. C'est le but!

In light of the Incredible Shrinking Household Income (thanks, Governor Dumbfuck!) I'm looking at all sorts of ways to decrease expenditures. Of course, a big one is property tax.
I believe the current fair market value the city has set for my house is unrealistic, to say the least. Curious if anyone has ever gone through an assessment appeal, what your impression of the process was and (of course) the outcome.
I've taken a cursory look at the the procedure on the city's website, which makes it sound like a significant pain in the ass (which I guess would be in the city's best interest). Wondering if it would be worth the effort of if I'd just be taking on a big headache for relatively little gain.
Any info would be greatly appreciated. Next topic: Is anyone going back to whale oil lamps to save on electricity bills?
(No, really, I'm serious about the assessment thing.)

Fancy dress hats for cats
Pet owners can now turn their cat into the king of the jungle - by giving it a hat with a lion's mane.
The hand-made lion hats come in a variety of colours and can be bought in golden brown, black, grey, ivory and husky.
Designer Yumiko Landers, from Seattle, Washington, explained how she came up with the idea to create the hats for cats.
The 39-year-old said: "Every cat we've ever known believes they're the master of their domain.
"So I thought there's no better way to represent that by making them look like a true lion.
"The idea of hats for cats came from my sewing group and the theme of the week was cats and dogs.
"I couldn't have guessed the product would be so popular. We continue to receive orders from all over the world."
The hats can be bought online from Etsy, a website that sells handmade or vintage items as well as art and craft supplies.

It's hoped that a new stage at Screen Gems will bring bigger and better movies to the Wilmington arena.
It's called Stage Ten, and for special effects producers it's a dream come true.
The new stage comes at a perfect time, as Screen Gems pushes for higher film incentives in our state to make us more competitive.
The one thing that sets this stage apart from any other on the East Coast is a little something on the inside, a water tank holding 450 tons of water, which may just entice big movie producers to film here in Wilmington.
"You can create waves, you can create wind over water, you can create rain and fog, and then you can surround it in a green screen and put in your special effects in after," said Bill Vassar of Screen Gems.
The tank is one of the largest indoor water tanks on the East Coast. The construction comes at a time when Wilmington film officials are trying to recruit major producers from the other coast, all in an attempt to keep Wilmington on the map.
Taking a look at the final product, project manager Chris Crowder said the new stage is a dream come true for producers. "That's 37,000 square feet of open floor space to build your dream!"
Wilmington recently lost a Miley Cyrus movie to Georgia because that state offered double the incentive, or tax break, to production companies that North Carolina does.
A bill to raise our incentives is currently stuck in committee in Raleigh. Perhaps this new sound stage will inspire legislators to move it to a vote.

The sky is falling for Boston Red Sox fans, as the team most people had pegged as the best in baseball is off to an 0-4 start, with equal parts hitting and pitching holding the team back. Fantasy baseball owners -- like Red Sox Nation -- are never the most patient lot, and while only two members of the Red Sox show up on ESPN's most dropped list, and starting pitcher John Lackey and setup man Daniel Bard were a bit overdrafted to start with, I'm also seeing many a trade offer with Carl Crawford, Jacoby Ellsbury and other high-profile players involved.
Regular blog readers know the line that's coming next: It's a mere four games, and most of these established Red Sox will be just fine. You drafted Crawford in the first round, you're going to get worthy production. Despite manager Terry Francona moving his left fielder all throughout the lineup in an effort to "get him started," Crawford will get started on his own. The Red Sox finished second in runs scored to the New York Yankees last season and clearly upgraded the offense since then. They're going to score runs. Buy low on Red Sox hitters if it's actually possible.

Berger points to 'breathtaking' hypocrisy from NRF

Berger points to 'breathtaking' hypocrisy from NRF
B. Dan Berger
Jan. 6, 2014 – The National Retail Federation is
appealing a settlement
that requires Visa and MasterCard to pay $5.7 billion to merchants over claims of price fixing on credit card interchange fees even as some 40 million card users stand exposed in the most recent merchant data breach.
Credit and debit card interchange fees cover the costs of facilitating card transactions and help defray some of the costs of fraud when breaches occur. Credit unions and other financial institutions are working right now to help their members and customers replace credit cards that were exposed in the Target Corporation breach, which is already under scrutiny by federal investigators and is likely to come up in the near future in Senate hearings.
"The hypocrisy of the NRF's appeal on the heels of the Target data breach is breathtaking," said NAFCU President and CEO Dan Berger. "The NRF and big-box retailers want the benefits and consumer draw of electronic payments without the cost, and without the accountability. Meanwhile, credit unions and banks across the country are putting their staff and financial resources into cleaning up the mess created by this huge breach of consumer credit card data.
"This contrast should not be lost on the NRF, and we hope it won't be lost on Congress. NAFCU will continue to press lawmakers for legislation that requires merchants and retailers to adhere to minimum standards for protecting the consumer data they collect and store, to disclose when a breach occurs and to pay the costs when breaches arise from their failure to take adequate security measures."
NAFCU was the first financial services trade group to call on Congress to hold merchants responsible for data security breaches, and Berger has kept up that call in recent letters to all members of the
One credit union – Alabama State Employees CU – has
filed a class action suit
of its own against Target over this breach.
NAFCU encourages its member credit unions to reach out to their members and alert them that they should monitor their accounts for fraudulent or unauthorized activity.

St Johnstone 0-0 Kilmarnock
St Johnstone and Kilmarnock played out a disappointing 0-0 Scottish Premiership draw at McDiarmid Park on Saturday afternoon.
The home side came closest to scoring in the first half when Michael O'Halloran and Steven MacLean were both denied in quick succession.
Kilmarnock thought they had won it 10 minutes from time but Nathan Eccleston saw his shot heroically blocked by Tam Scobbie in the midst of a dramatic goalmouth scramble.
Clear opportunities were few and far between for much of the match, and...

"Do you even know what a demon is?"
Archibald Feeney had never considered himself an overly religious man, but he attended church every now and then, and read the gospel if there wasn't anything good on the telly, and even said his prayers if there was a lull in his bedtime preparations. It was, however, still a bit of a shock to him when he ran face to face with his religion.
He had popped into the local pub for a fish and chips, having been late from work and disinterested in cooking. There might even be a pint in it for him, though he tried not to succumb to those urges too regularly. No more so than the vicar anyway, who stopped in every Saturday, as regular as clockwork.
It was while Feeney was nursing his lager and waiting for his meal that something came in and sat beside him. It was tall and lithe, with reddish skin that was only beginning to show signs of peeling from a mild burn. It wore no clothes, but its bottom half was clearly quite goat-like. The brown fur was matted and smelled of scorched barnyards, and the cloven hooves seemed to be slick with oil or something else dark and wet. The upper body was clearly masculine, though not particularly fit. The goat-man also had small horns jutting from either side of his forehead. This then, must be a demon, Feeney thought with astonishment.
The demon glanced casually at Feeney, gave him a short curt nod, then seated himself with some difficulty on the stool beside Feeney. He raised one finger at the barman, then stared down at the bar top and drummed his scalded fingers. Feeney stared at the demon, his bottom lip quivering slightly. Every few seconds a small squeaking sound escaped from him.
The barman returned and slid a pint across to the demon without seeming to notice the nature of his new patron. The demon thanked him graciously and turned slightly away from Feeney, attending to his drink.
Finally Feeney managed to stammer weakly, "Y-y-you're a demon."
"Oh great. Here we go." The demon muttered to itself. It shook its horned head and turned back to face Feeney. "Look, pal. Is there any way we can skip this whole disbelieving horror thing? I'm not here to bother you, so let's just go back to our drinks and we can both have a nice night."
The demon made as if to turn away, but Feeney couldn't simply leave it at that.
"But you're a demon," he said, a little more strongly.
"Do you even know what a demon is?" The demon asked with a tired sigh. He turned completely back to face Feeney.
"You're personifications of evil!" Feeney insisted vehemently.
"Wrong," snapped the demon with far more conviction than Feeney. He set his half-empty pint down on the bar and leaned over toward the man, resting his elbows on his hairy goat thighs. "We're personifications of mistakes that have been made. Slights and wrongdoings and suchlike."
The barman came by and slid the fish and chips over to Feeney, who passed him back a handful of coins without bothering to count them. The barman went away, still oblivious to the nature of his most recent occupant.
"So you're saying," Feeney explained slowly, "that demons are not evil."
"Of course I'm not saying that," the demon said irritably. "We're the embodiments of wrongdoings, so yeah, some of us are pretty damned evil. No pun intended. All I'm saying is that not all of us are evil with a capital E. Some of us are just a little on the jerky side."
Feeney nodded, though his expression was a bit glazed, as though the information were having difficulty reaching his brain.
"Look at it this way," the demon paused to polish off the rest of his pint before continuing. "If I were to accidentally cut you off in traffic, that'd make me a bit of an arse, right?" Feeney nodded. "But if I were to have a few hundred innocent people executed because they disagreed with me, that's quite a bit worse, right?" Feeney nodded again. "Good, you see my point. Both qualify as wrongdoings, but one's a far cry from the other, if you get my meaning."
The demon flagged down the barman for another drink while Feeney processed all this. His fish was beginning to get quite cold. Not that it had been overly warm to begin with by the time it had reached him. Finally Feeney managed to find his voice.
"Well then what kind of demon are you?"
"Remember that time you told yourself you were only going to have one pint with your friends, but then you got completely pissed and the next day you chucked up all over the inside of the confessional?"
Feeney grimaced and nodded. "It does ring a bell."
The demon hitched a thumb to his chest. "That's me." He accepted a new glass from the barman and nodded his thanks before taking a long draught.
"Well that's not particularly evil," Feeney grumbled.
"Like I said."
"That's barely evil at all." The man's expression was a mixture of confusion and anger. The demon nodded, still sipping at his beer. "And why is it that I'm the only one who's upset by this?"
"I'm your demon," said the demon by way of explanation. When Feeney just stared at him, the demon sighed, polished off his second glass and continued. "I'm your demon. You created me. To everyone else I'm just some guy. You're the only one who knows what you did to make me, so you're the only one who knows what I am."
Feeney was quiet for a long time. The demon had time to get halfway through a third pint before the man spoke up again.
"Then what do you want?"
"Me?" the demon asked incredulously. "Not a thing. Well… I tell a lie. I wouldn't say no to another pint." He flagged down the barman for "one for the road."
"So you aren't here for my soul?" Feeney asked with just a hint of nervousness.
"What would I do with your soul?" the demon scoffed. "No, I'm not here for your soul. I'm here for a drink. You were the one looking for me. Most people go a lifetime without meeting their own demons. Most people don't want to. Seems like you were looking for the chance to make things right with yourself."
Feeney sat in silence, staring at his untouched plate. The demon received and drank his last glass of lager and finally stood up. "Well, take care." He tossed a small pile of crumpled notes onto the bar, though Feeney couldn't say where they'd come from. "I hope you worked out whatever you needed to."
As the demon headed for the door, Feeney turned and called after him. "What about angels? Are they personifications of good deeds?"
The demon chortled and replied, "Those guys are right bastards." He left.
It was nearly an hour later that the barman came by and ushered Feeney gently out the door. "Time to close up, sir. Did you not care for the fish?"
Feeney assured the man that it had been fine, though he'd never touched it at all.
The barman closed the door after him, locking it and beginning to wipe down the tables.
"Seems that fellow had some personal demons to exorcise, didn't it just?"
He was talking to no one in particular, but the busty succubus sitting patiently in the nearest corner said quietly, "Don't we all, my love. Don't we all."

Email ballots making it easier for overseas soldiers to vote in Texas
POSTED: Monday, October 7, 2013 - 5:48pm
UPDATED: Monday, October 7, 2013 - 9:49pm
Tyler, Texas (KETK) — Our men and woman overseas fighting for our country may soon have an easier way to make their voices heard at the ballot box here at home. An email ballot federal voter assistance program is in the works that could affect 50 counties in Texas—including many East Texas counties. The grant will help streamline the email ballot process for overseas military voters. "It's going to help over 15 thousand military and overseas voters in Texas be able to have their email ballot accessed in a better way." Smith County elections administrator, Karen Nelson says.
Right now, many military members who choose to vote must vote by casting an absentee ballot through the U.S. mail. But service members tell us that process can be a hassle.
Nelson says this program will not only help it military voters overseas --- but it will also allow solders to keep tabs on their ballots from their computer."There's also tracking, where the person can track when their email was sent, when we sent it back, when their ballot was mailed, when their ballot was received so there's a lot of benefits for the voter, they can see the process of their ballot along the way."
In a phone interview with active duty Army Armor officer, Captain Mitchell Payne, stationed in Fort Hood Texas, he says he keeps a close eye on what's going at home in Texas when he's deployed, "I think keeping an eye on local politics is almost more important than the bigger national stuff because it's at the local level that you really feel the first bites of political push."
Payne says he finds the current voting process a hassle, and believes an easy email system for overseas and active military voters will help encourage *more* service men and woman to make their voices heard from afar. He says, "It makes it more convenient to vote and so I think you'll get more of a voter turnout."
Counties in Texas that plan to implement the program say it will be a lot easier for military voters—and for people at the elections office.
Currently all 50 counties are waiting for grant approval to rollout the new voting process.
Comments News Comments
How are they gonna make sure that the person who opens the e-mail ballot is who the ballot was sent to and how are they going to make sure the person who actualy votes is the person who is registered to vote? I see a big potential for voter fraud just as there has been with the mail in ballots. The only voter fraud cases that have been filed in Texas. THANK GOD THERE HAS NEVER BEEN A CASE OF VOTER FRAUD CASE WHERE PEOPLE VOTE IN PERSON.
