Had this product a few times, lovely light moisturiser with a tint that leaves the skin with a subtle dewy glow, bonus sun protection.
Good product bad service poor communication won't use again
I must say I'm not too keen on this product. It has a strong scent which I dislike and the colour is too yellow. You can blend it in with little effort but it's still not an ideal match for my pale skin tone. Also, it's a bit overpriced for what it is - there are better tinted moisturisers for less money.
Have used it before and bought it again because I liked it.
I have been using Feel Unique for all my beauty purchases for three or more years and always receive reliable and excellent service.
I always buy this and I love the product and at a great price. Gives my face some colour and moisture while not making me feel like it's caked on.
Fantastic as always. Super quick delivery.
Great product
The colour is not quite what I had expected (quite yellowish), but fine for mixing with foundation for a lighter finish.
Very light coverage, nice dewy finish
Nice product non greasy good coverage
Fast, very well-packaged
Love this it's only light but makes my skin glow and it's nice not to wear foundation everyday
Does what it says and smells good!
Delivered on time
Quick service.
it is a birthday present which was specifically asked for, she would not ask for it unless she thought it was good. your service and prices are excellent.
Love Benefit products
Paler than expected = the darker shade can be too dark and this shade is very pale! Good product in any case

Saturday January 19, 2013
By SHARMILLA GANESAN firstname.lastname@example.com
A newly opened boulangerie, bistro and wine bar aims to take the 'formal' out of French food.
FRENCH cuisine has a rather unfairly earned reputation of being intimidating. Yes, the unpronounceable names, delicate decor and pocket-sized portions can often be perplexing, especially to us Asians who are more used to heaping plates of rice or noodles, but the truth is, dining out for French food need not be a stressful experience.
This is where the newest eatery in town, Yeast Boulangerie – Bistro & Bar à Vin, comes in. Aiming to be authentically French yet simple and approachable, founder Christophe Chatron-Michaud hopes Yeast will give Malaysian epicures a new way to enjoy
quality French cuisine.
"We want our patrons to have great French food in a casual, comfortable setting, and at affordable prices. Instead of thinking of French food only on 'special occasions', we would like them to come in when they feel like eating out, and relax over a few glasses of wine," he says.
As a boulangerie (bakery), bistro and wine bar, Yeast seems to cover the full spectrum of the dining experience. At our tasting session, we were given a sampling of their specialities, starting with their baked goods.
For bread-lovers, their range of rustic-style French breads may prove irresistible, with tempting varieties like white chocolate, cranberry, and gruyere-and-duck-confit alongside the more common croissants and baguettes.
Made with natural, organic yeast using local fruits, the bread was a little chewier than you may be used to, but bursting with flavour, and it left a subtle yet delicious after-taste. The white chocolate bread, particularly, was a clear favourite with its indulgent dessert-like feel.
Yeast's superb baking also made treats like their quiches and croque monsieur worth a try; while it was simple and hearty fare, the high-quality, fresh ingredients and fine balancing of flavours certainly took them up a notch.
We started off our meal proper with a pumpkin soup topped with duck confit, where the soup's sweet creaminess was nicely enhanced by the strong-flavoured duck. This was followed by a beautifully composed Salad Nicoise – where tuna in olive oil with greens, string beans and olives are topped with anchovies and hard-boiled egg – another classic, simple dish that relies on its ingredients to work.
The list of mains has many familiar French dishes, including Boeuf Bourguignon and Foie Gras de Canard, duck foie gras terrine with a port balsamic and fruit reduction served with brioche toast. We first tried the seared salmon Béarnaise, served on a bed of creamed spinach. The salmon was done to perfection – soft, juicy yet firm – and the Bearnaise sauce, with its herb-enhanced buttery finish, added just the right touch of elegance.
The star of the meal, though, was the Boeuf Bourguignon – tender braised Australian short ribs cooked in Cabernet Sauvignon and served with carrots and pearl onions on a bed of parsnip puree, topped with crispy onions. Beautifully cooked, the beef was juicy and tender, with the contrasting tastes and textures in the dish making each mouthful a delight. The parsnip puree and crispy onions add a surprising amount of flavour to the meat too.
For dessert, we had not one but two sinfully delicious tarts: a bittersweet Valrhona chocolate tart with mocha, and a calamansi passion fruit one with meringue.
The Valrhona tart was a chocoholic's dream: rich, smooth and not too sweet, with the mocha bringing out the subtle bitter notes in the cocoa. The calamansi passion fruit, meanwhile, was equally delectable yet completely different. Sweet and refreshing, the sour calamansi added a real zing to the passion fruit. I also loved the crust on both tarts; soft enough to crumble in the mouth, yet dense enough to hold and complement the filling.
So French food is intimidating, you say? After indulging yourself silly at the friendly, welcoming Yeast, you're likely to be singing a different tune.

Pittsburgh Penguins (14-6-4) @ New York Rangers (12-5-3) 7:30 pm/et TV: ROOT, Versus, TSN2 Madison Square Garden, New York, NY The "World's Most Famous Arena" has been heavily renovated and it looks quite a bit different than the last time the Pittsburgh Penguins visited. The Rangers are 6-1-1 at home this year, so many the renovations are working. Kris Letang and Zbynek Michalek have gone back to Pittsburgh for medical evaluation. Alexandre Picard and Robert Bortuzzo have both been called up from WBS. This is the Penguins first game against the Rangers since Matt Cooke tried to take someone's head off. Season Series: 0-0-0. Last meeting that counted: March 20, 2011. Rangers won 5-2. What we said in our recap: What will get lost in the Cooke elbow **** is that this was a really good game at one point -- very defensive, playoff-like tone.

A retired orthodontist picked up his elderly inlaws from an assisted living facility in the San Fernando Valley Friday afternoon, drove them to his home on Bayview Court, parked the car in the driveway and killed both of them with a handgun before turning the gun on himself.
The gunshots were heard by his wife, who was inside the house in the normally quiet Bridgeport neighborhood. She came out and found the three victims in the car, a late-model dark Acura sedan. She called 911, but it was too late.
Detectives did not identify the victims, but sources who asked for anonymity told KHTS that the orthodontist was Martin Strassner, 64. Homicide Lt. John Corina identified the elderly couple only as Strassner's wife's parents, adding that her mother was 90 and her father was 95. Corina also confirmed that the crime was apparently a murder-suicide, adding that the gunman had left a note in the car.

Corina said that Strassner had been dealing with depression, but that his motives and thoughts prior to the murder were not clear.
As detectives began their investigation, one of the Strassner sons arrived at the home around 5 p.m.; Susan Strassman, who discovered the bodies, was met by a grief counselor who sat with her in an ambulance before she left the scene with sheriff's detectives.
The bodies remained in the car for several hours. Neighbors and the media crowded behind yellow crime scene tape, just down the block from Bridgeport Elementary School. No children were at the school when the shooting occurred.
Martin Strassner had a dental office on Camp Plenty Road in Canyon Country before he moved his practice to White Oak Avenue in Granada Hills. He had recently retired. Susan Strassner works as a financial manager for a group of health providers.

Tails above the Rest, Part II
Now that you have Tails installed, let's start using it.
I'm halfway through what will likely be a three-part series on the Tails live disk. In the first column, I introduced Tails as a special distribution of Linux, based on Debian, that puts all sorts of privacy- and security-enhancing tools in a live disk you can boot anywhere. Then I talked about how to download and install the distribution securely on a CD or USB disk. In this article, I'm going to follow up with a general overview of the Tails desktop and highlight some of the software you are most likely to use within it. In my next column, I'll cover some of the more advanced features of Tails, including the persistent disk and encryption.
Tails Limitations
Before I talk too much about the security features of Tails, I think it's important to highlight the limitations that Tails has. Although Tails is incredibly useful and makes it much easier to use the Internet securely, it still isn't a magical solution that will solve all of your privacy problems. Before you use Tails, it's important to know where its limitations are and beyond that, mistakes that you might make that could remove some of the protections Tails does have.
Tails uses Tor to anonymize your Internet use, but that within itself has limitations. First, Tails doesn't attempt to hide the fact that you are using Tor or Tails, so if others can sniff the traffic leaving your network, while they may not be able to tell what Web sites you are browsing, they still can tell you are using Tor itself. So, if you are in a situation where you may get into trouble for using Tor, Tails out of the box won't protect you. Second, although traffic between you and Tor and between Tor nodes is encrypted, traffic that leaves Tor is not necessarily encrypted. Tails, like the Tor browser bundle, adds extensions to its Web browser to attempt to use HTTPS-encrypted sites whenever possible, but if you send an unencrypted e-mail or browse to an unencrypted Web site, the traffic leaving Tor still would be unencrypted. Along the same lines, you also still may be vulnerable to man-in-the-middle attacks launched from a malicious Tor exit node itself or from an attacker between the Tor exit node and the site you want to visit, so you still need to pay attention to any certificate warnings you see in your browser.
Generally speaking, Tails doesn't scrub your Internet traffic or any documents you create for any identifying metadata. If you decide to log in to a social-networking site from inside Tails and then browse to other sites that integrate with that login, even though those sites will see that the traffic came from a Tor exit node and not from your personal computer, cookies and other identifying metadata from the social-networking site will out you. Generally speaking, you don't want to do anything within a single browsing session in Tails that may link on-line identities (like an e-mail account, social-networking login and the like) that you don't want linked. Likewise, if you write a document or edit a photo within Tails, it won't automatically remove any metadata that contains identifying information.

Legislation would give freedom to good schools
Success would earn right to rewrite curriculum
INDIANAPOLIS - State Sen. Mike Delph, R-Carmel, is calling for Indiana to liberate top-performing schools from state regulations. It'll be Senate Bill 189 in the upcoming session, which starts Monday.
Delph said the bill would give schools the freedom to develop their own curriculum, design their own teacher and staff evaluations, bypass state regulations dealing with their most talented students, create their own plans for career and technical training, and organize classroom time based on instructional minutes as opposed to the current 180-day school year.
"Districts with proven track records could create environments that better fit their students' academic needs and capabilities," Delph said. "This would allow these students to reach their fullest potential."
Schools would still have to follow the laws on special education, contract and salary regulations and other administrative procedures.
To qualify for this new freedom, Delph says, schools would have to see 25 percent of their students graduate with a 3, 4 or 5 score on an Advanced Placement exam or with a technical honors diploma, and also have a graduation rate that tops 90 percent and a composite SAT score higher than the state's average. Plus, there would be other benchmarks that must be met, including some that the Indiana Department of Education would set.
"Such performance standards would help ensure our students are fully prepared to accomplish their goals," Delph said. "They would create a system where we're challenging our schools to focus on methods that maximize student success beyond the classroom. In the long run, our children would be better positioned to be competitive in this global economy."
Delph credited Jeff Swensson, the Carmel Clay Schools superintendent, and Andy Klein, a member of that district's school board, with the idea.
"This is the result of collaboration between various school corporations and leading legislators," Swensson said. "It provides all public schools in Indiana with a data-based academic goal, which, when attained, opens regulatory doors to enhanced achievement levels for our students. Hoosier educators will use this new opportunity to ensure that our children are globally competitive and well prepared for bright futures."

Click here to view your Craft Projects.
Unique handmade jewelry designs are a breeze with your eCraft electronic die cutting machine by Craftwell. These Snazzy Earrings are original, lightweight, and affordable. Handmade jewelry is also a great gift idea!
- eCraft machine
- Fabric (make sure it's printable)
- Heat-n-Bond adhesive
- Thread
- Earring hooks
- Use the Fundamentals 1 SD card, which comes with the eCraft, to find the heart used here (feel free to use any design that works for you).
- Prepare your fabric for inkjet printing. We recommend using the Bubble Jet Set 2000. It makes fabric able to be used in an inkjet printer. The image will remain and not run off of your item.
- Soak the cotton fabric in the Bubble Jet Set solution for five minutes. After it is dry, iron it on freezer paper.
- Cut it into eleven by eight and a half inches. It is now ready for the printer.
- After printing place the fabric in the eCraft and cut out your design. The software that comes with the machine makes it so easy to place your design. This machine also works with "SCAL" and "MTC".
- After cutting out all of your pieces, apply Heat-n-Bond to the back of the earring pieces so you can adhere them to each other.
- Use a thread (we recommend button hole twist thread) to connect the pieces. Don't forget to mirror imag the two sides so they hang correctly.
- Once the pieces are placed together, punch the hole for the jump ring.

Brad Pitt's Hurricane Katrina charity Make It Right New Orleans is under fire after more than two dozen homes that the organization built in the devastated Ninth Ward were discovered to be rotting from the inside out! "The wood turned gray and it was also black," Make It Right home-owner Nola Verrett tells RadarOnline.com exclusively. "Also some parts it was buckling and it had mushrooms growing out of it. Different neighborhoods saw it too."
Reps for Make It Right have laid the blame on the lumber, from wood company TimberSIL. A unique non-burning glass-and-wood blend, it had been guaranteed for 40 years, but now will be replaced at a cost of $150,000 to Make It Right.
"It was unable to withstand moisture, which is obviously a big problem in New Orleans," Make It Right rep Taylor Royle told the New Orleans Advocate. Pitt's charity is now reportedly considering legal action against the company. (TimberSIL and Make It Right did not respond to Radar's requests for comment on the situation.)

Meanwhile, Verrett tells Radar that the wood on her home has already been replaced with yellow pine.
"It didn't take no time at all," Verrett, who has been living in the home for just over four years, tells Radar. "It's just like they said. If something's wrong, they make it right. We are very happy with our Make It Right home."
However, others can't say the same just yet. Homeowner Gloria Guy told WDSU News New Orleans, "They replaced a lot of houses but they ain't replaced mine. They're supposed to come pretty soon and do it."

In all, according to reports, 30 homes will require reconstruction.
Pitt has said he gets "far too much credit" for the charity's rebuilding efforts, even though he is the poster boy.

KTTC-TV reports a power outage in Byron and Kasson disrupted power for about 2,000 people for an hour and a half Thursday. The outage also affected the stoplights in Byron along Highway 14. According to Xcel Energy, the outage started around 1:00 p.m. and initially knocked out power for roughly 8,900 people across the region. Most people had their power restored within a few minutes and power was fully restored around 2:30 p.m. Xcel is still investigating the cause of the outage.

Snapchat CEO's Emails Didn't Disappear, Come Back To Shame Him
Originally published on Thu May 29, 2014 2:19 pm
We are in the midst of a realignment in the global economy, a new machine age in which technology is disrupting nearly every industry in the world. And who are the hot young stars of this great realignment? People like 23-year-old Evan Spiegel, the Stanford-educated, former Kappa Sigma social chair who founded Snapchat, an ephemeral messaging platform that may be worth at least $3 billion.
Gawker's ValleyWag obtained emails (Note: racy language) from Spiegel's fraternity days circa 2009, a not-so-distant past in which his primary emphasis seemed to be getting sorority girls drunk so they would sleep with him and his fraternity brothers. Women are referred to as "bitches" and "sororisluts," considered objects to be "peed on," and one missive features "shooting lasers at fat chicks."
In between trying to hire people for the company that would become Snapchat, his emails further show he makes fun of competing fraternity members by calling them "gay."
Contacted today by Business Insider, Spiegel verified the emails and said this:
"I'm obviously mortified and embarrassed that my idiotic emails during my fraternity days were made public. I have no excuse. I'm sorry I wrote them at the time and I was jerk to have written them. They in no way reflect who I am today or my views towards women."
So what we're seeing now is a situation that the central conceit of Snapchat sought to destroy: Your past messages coming back to haunt you, in a very public way.
We've written about a pervasive cultural problem in technology that seems to reward these young, reckless guys with fame and fortune. That the tech world continues to celebrate young men whose disposition toward women is, at best, sleazy, doesn't bode well for its well-documented sexism problem.

Viewers: in countries Watching now:
Join James Talbot, as he reviews the new features in Adobe Flex, Flash Builder, and AIR for mobile application developers. This course covers the Spark components for building mobile user interfaces in the Flex SDK, and the AIR support for native extensions, which enable applications to use parts of the host operating systems that were previously unavailable. The course also describes new testing and network monitoring capabilities available with Flash Builder 4.6, and the ability for Android applications to be deployed without relying on a separate runtime.
FlexUnit is a unit-testing framework for Flex and ActionScript 3 applications and libraries. It mimics the functionality of JUnit, which is a Java unit-testing framework, and it comes with a graphical test runner. Now Flash Builder 4.6 includes complete support for FlexUnit, so it's actually integrated directly into our development environment so we can run our tests directly from Flash Builder. If you browse out to flexunit.org, you can get more information on the framework. So for example, I can see all of the features, I can contribute if I like, I can access all of the docs, and you will see the docs are very neatly organized, and you could see everything that's going on.
I can also access a wiki, and of course I can download everything as well. So I can download all of the different tests that I want to use and be able to access that all from flexunit.org. What I've done is I have actually created a project for you inside of Flash Builder that contains all of the FlexUnit tests, so we can actually see how it's integrated directly inside a Flash Builder. So open up Flash Builder, click File, choose Import Flash Builder Project, and go and import your FlexUnit tests right here. Go ahead and click Finish, and you'll see we have my FlexUnitTurnkey.sdk here. And here's my project and I can indicate the source and I can see all of my different FlexUnit, so here's my actual application.
You can see that I've included the unit tests here. So the FlexUnitTests, I have included a math package, a suite package, and that sort of thing. So, it'll run this utilizing the AIR Debug Launcher and I can set up of course different device configurations. Now FlexUnit does fully support mobile as well, and you can actually test it right on the device, which can be very useful for debugging, and all you have to do is connect it to your USB port, or you can connect it over the network via WiFi. And you can utilize a socket connection and the computer's IP address to communicate between Flash Builder and the FlexUnit application running on the device.
Now all of this setup is actually detailed in the original Flex course, but again, you can do this debugging over WiFi. Before we do any of the testing, we actually need to generate a SWF file that will be located in the bin-debug folder here. So what I am going to do is I'm just going to run the tests and you are going to see the first time you do it, it's not going to run. So if I click on Run and I choose Run As, and then I choose FlexUnit Tests--it might take just a second here-- you're going to see the first time since we've imported this it's not going to run.
Okay, it's going to update the build path. Let's just choose a couple of tests here. You also see there are some errors, but that's okay. We are testing our project here. Probably expect some errors. So again, we are going to get an error because that SWF file is not actually located in the bin-debug. So I am going to go ahead and proceed, and you'll see it says file not found, right. It can't actually find the SWF file. So I am going to need to run it one more time to actually get these results. So here I'll just again run the tests again, so I will say Run As > FlexUnitTests, go ahead and choose some of the tests here, don't need to choose them all, and you should see this time it will run, and we should see that our Flash Builder tests are being run.
So you can see the execution is in process, and we can get some basic information directly from this file. So again, I can rerun tests, I can cancel running tests, and I can see all of that. You will see that in this case, if I look at the different tests, I could see 72 different tests have been run. It passed 62, it failed 1, and there's been 9 errors, and nothing has been ignored. Okay great! So now I can close this window once all those tests have actually run, and you'll see I can see the results of the tests directly inside of Flash Builder under the FlexUunit Results.
So this panel lists all the tests within the test run, indicating whether the test has passed or failed. So I can actually double-click right on the test and it will jump me to that ActionScript, so I can see what's going on. And again, if there was a failure, it would jump me right there and I can also filter the results. I can see all of that directly from my panel here in terms of a FlexUnit result testing. So now this is integrated directly into Flash Builder 4.6 and makes testing our applications much, much easier.
There are currently no FAQs about Flex 4.6 and AIR 3.0 New Features for Mobile Apps.

Sticker shock: Why cars now cost more
Performance end
Of course, not everyone opts for the standard compact car. For the higher performance models, here are some of the gadgets that could be driving up their initial prices:
V-6 Ford Mustang
Starts at $22,200 with a six-speed manual transmission, has a V-6 engine that puts out 305 horsepower. In 2001, a V-6 Mustang put out 193 horsepower. Next fall, Ford will introduce a redesigned Mustang that includes a base 2.3 liter, four-cylinder engine that will put out 305 horsepower but will be more fuel efficient. The automaker has not yet announced a price.
BMW 320i,
Starts at $32,750, with either a six-speed manual or eight-speed automatic transmission, has knee air bags, Bluetooth connectivity and includes service throughout the warranty.
Mercedes C-Class sedan
Starts at $38,200, has a standard panorama sunroof, and a seven speed automatic transmission with paddle shifters next to the steering wheel. The car also comes with "attention assist," with 70 censors that can alert the driver if it detects signs of drowsiness.

Real Madrid v Man Utd
Ronaldo 30′
Welbeck 20′
Manchester United were indebted to an outstanding performance from goalkeeper David de Gea as they came away from the Bernabeu with a highly satisfactory Champions League draw against Real Madrid.
Danny Welbeck gave Sir Alex Ferguson's side an early lead and a crucial away goal from Wayne Rooney's corner - but former United golden boy Cristiano Ronaldo inevitably responded with a classic header to draw Real level before the interval.
Hard work already done?
- Manchester United have progressed in 17 of 19 European Cup knockout ties where they've avoided defeat in a first leg away from home (via Opta)
In an enthralling encounter that lived up to Real coach Jose Mourinho's claim that it was "the match the world wanted to see", both sides created opportunities to take a crucial lead to Old Trafford for the second leg of this last-16 tie in three weeks' time.
De Gea brilliantly turned Fabio Coentrao's shot on to the post early on and, as a tight and tense game entered its closing stages, Robin Van Persie saw his drive pushed on to the bar by Real keeper Diego Lopez and had another attempt scrambled off the line by Xabi Alonso seconds later.
United's Spanish keeper, returning to his home city after making his name as a youngster with Real's great rivals Atletico, distinguished himself with a succession of saves and a display that backed up Ferguson's claim that he is approaching maturity and growing into life at Old Trafford.
The result leaves the second leg delicately balanced but even as United took the acclaim of their travelling fans it was clear much work is still to be done before they can contemplate a place in the last eight. Real ominously illustrated their attacking riches led by the magnificent Ronaldo, who will relish his return to Manchester.
United were without captain Nemanja Vidic and it soon became clear that Phil Jones was not under orders to shadow Ronaldo, with Rooney pushed to the right flank.
"This was the meeting Mourinho described as "the match the world wants to see". The world would not have been disappointed after events in this wonderfully atmospheric arena - and the world will be only too happy to watch a second episode at Old Trafford in three weeks' time"
The tone was set for a magnificent first half as Real poured forward into attack. Angel Di Maria went narrowly wide and it took a top-class save from De Gea to touch Coentrao's low drive on to the upright.
After surviving that early pressure, United exploited Real's weakness at set pieces to secure an away goal after 20 minutes as Welbeck pulled away from Sergio Ramos to meet Rooney's corner and angle a fine header away from Lopez.
For all Real's failings at the back, they were attacking United from all angles. It was no surprise when they restored parity on the half hour - and no surprise that the source was Ronaldo.
In a moment reminiscent of his goal for United in the 2008 Champions League victory against Chelsea in Moscow, Ronaldo hung in the air to meet Di Maria's delivery and direct a header past the diving De Gea.
The celebration against his former club was subdued but this iconic arena did not hold back as his name rang around the Bernabeu.
United, however, had been encouraged by Real's defensive frailties as a stretching Welbeck almost produced the perfect response, only to direct his finish off target. Rooney then gave Real another anxious moment by shooting narrowly wide.
- Cristiano Ronaldo's goal was his 35th in 34 games this season
- According to Uefa, he led the game with 10 attempts (four on target)
- Robin van Persie was Man Utd's leading shooter with four attempts (all four on target)
Mourinho was prowling his technical area throughout and responded to chants of "sit down Mourinho" from United's travelling support perched high to his right with an imperious wave.
Real maintained their impetus after the break and De Gea was in action again with an athletic stop at the far post to block Coentrao once more.
Little had been seen of Van Persie, apart from an early yellow card after a clash with Sergio Ramos, but he burst into the action and could have twice restored United's lead.
He was unfortunate as his rising shot was touched on to the bar by Lopez but he was guilty of a bad miss when he was presented with time and space in the area seconds later.
As Real waited for an offside flag that never came, the normally clinical striker miscued his shot and its lack of power allowed Alonso to recover and clear off the line.
De Gea rescued United again with 11 minutes left as Real continued to press, diving away to his right to clutch Sami Khedira's effort.
Van Persie had one more chance to snatch a win for United in the closing seconds, but his angled drive was touched to safety by Lopez.

Ha, one of the weakest defences ever.
You claim Utd parked the bus against Madrid when if fact they had more shots on goal than City did.
I guess your boys parked a bigger bus.
Comment number 778. Posted by Sams Townon 15 Feb 2013 19:49
United fans in their usual MUTV bubble were surprised to find out City had also drawn 1-1 with Madrid and quickly went on their smartphones to check if this score was correct.
I was highlighting this creditable performance and correcting the usual misinformation about City .....you assisted with that so thanks

Can anyöne expain the decission of this german refree to called up the game when there is still time for United to take their coner-kick or is there a betting fixed for draw in the game, suppose Uefa should look into it , and please a strong refree with integrity is needed is such magnificiant encounter. Silence gives consent.

Nothing to add?!

game of 2 halves I found, RM defo had the best of it in the 1st half, but we had the 2nd, how RM didnt end up with 10 men for the foul on Evra only the blind ref knows, however how RM didnt have a penalty for Jones' shove I am thankful for the blind ref. Lets hope RVP puts one away at OT and we keep that 1 goal lead.

771. You sound a really arrogant halfwit
As a fan of a 'small' club I'm really glad we don't seem to attract gloryhunters like you, it would put me off going
The glory is for your team by the way, nothing at all to do with you
Comment number 773. Posted by YAMSon 15 Feb 2013 02:24
Lol, how on Earth can you compare a game in your home ground to a game away in another country in front of thousands of baying fans?!
What is a far batter game to compare is when City played away in Madrid.
Same team
Same competition
Same ground!!!!
Different score
Different shots on target
I can't help but wonder why you don't compare these far fairer games Sams Town.....

@771. Healy3spain2
But the knockout round is where the big boys play, the big clubs play with more tactical skill and intelligence
it was the same team.
Comment number 771. Posted by Healy3spain2on 15 Feb 2013 01:54
City may have been more positive at the Bernabeu but it was a different situation. City, as a small club, went to have a go and made a good attempt of it, were beaten but were praised as the plucky little team who had a good go. But the knockout round is where the big boys play, the big clubs play with more tactical skill and intelligence. A draw away from home in the first leg is a great result
Comment number 770. Posted by Sams Townon 15 Feb 2013 01:10
Same team
Same score
Same competition
Oh yes ....what am i thinking of ........nothing to compare at all.....!
Comment number 769. Posted by YAMSon 15 Feb 2013 01:00
Different stage of the competition with completely different perspectives in two completely different countries, environments & a different set of 40,000/70,000 fans screaming on......
Apart from that pretty similar yes. It's desperate from you at best.
How do I sleep at night?! What a bizarre question, lie in bed with TV on and usually drop off in about 7 mins.
Comment number 768. Posted by Sams Townon 15 Feb 2013 00:51
yes a number of differences..but exact same score against same team are significant similarities.
Not trying to score points about United still £366.6m in debt.....just wondering how you manage to sleep at night
Comment number 767. Posted by YAMSon 14 Feb 2013 23:18
@ Sams Town
Who classed it as a 'joke'?! Your average football WUM no doubt.
You should better then others not to tarnish all with the same brush.
I still don't get why you are comparing Utd away to Madrid in comparison to City at home to Madrid, surely you can see the different situations the games are under?!
Trying to score points over finances with me?! Really?!
Comment number 766. Posted by Sams Townon 14 Feb 2013 22:57
Maybe. but I was just highlighting that our 1-1 was a 'joke' and your 1-1 against the same team a national celebration
Latest BBC Glazer report below..looks like they have maxed out on Utds American Express card again
"The Old Trafford club still has debts of £366.6m and staff costs rose by more than 10% to £84.5m, mainly thanks to new player signings and player wage increase^
Comment number 765. Posted by SportsFanon 14 Feb 2013 22:22
Fair result, both sides played great football and had chances to win the match. Both sides got great chance of going through to the quarter final. 2nd leg match will go right down to the wire.
Comment number 764. Posted by YAMSon 14 Feb 2013 20:49
@ Sams Town
You were playing at home in a game you knew you had to win.....
Surely a fairer comparison would be City away to Madrid would it not?!
You lost 3-2 and again had less shots at goal than Utd did yesterday.
Your move I think.....
Comment number 763. Posted by Sams Townon 14 Feb 2013 20:10
City's 1-1 was a more positive performance than Uniteds.. .Casilla pulled of some stunning saves from proper shots...I'm not denying RM were the best team..... but it wasn't a bus parking performance...if you are using stats give the full picture:
City had more possession than United with 50%
City had twice more corners than RM,
RM had 18 more shots than utd but only 5 more than City
Comment number 762. Posted by GoFigureon 14 Feb 2013 18:17
I pointed out the same thing much earlier today. I guess there really are none so blind as those who cannot see or deaf as those who will not hear. Anyway, some of us think that Sams Town is in fact an intelligent and reasonable human being in need of a little engagement and rehabilitation. Then again I could be horribly deluded. Time will tell.
Comment number 761. Posted by YAMSon 14 Feb 2013 17:54
So lets get this right. Sams Town is claiming a 1-1 draw at home to Madrid when City needed to win was a more positive attacking performance than Utd's 1-1 away to Madrid.
Utd has more shots on goal away than City had at home is what was obviously going to be a more cagey game given it being the first leg.
Hilarious stuff. Talk about clutching at straws.
Comment number 760. Posted by Weallfollowunitedon 14 Feb 2013 17:11
I know what it's like after last season. I just couldn't get excited about it even though we were in it. Good luck to all the English teams in it mind.
Could do with a few of them to have a decent run in it to boost the Premier League's co-efficient, what with City seemingly single handedly trying to ruin it.

|I am shopping for a new serger. What is differential feed?
Sergers equipped with differential feed have two feed dogs, one in the front and one in the back. When the differential feed is set at N the front feed dog will feed the fabric at the same rate as the back feed dog.
When the differential feed is set at 1.3 to 2 the front feed dog will feed more fabric than the back . This is because the front feed dog moves a greater distance than the back feed dog. For example, when the differential feed is set at 2, the front feed dog will move twice as far as the back feed dog. In this case, the front feed dog is feeding in twice as much fabric as the back feed dog is feeding out. The result is that the fabric will be gathered. Differential feed settings from 1.3 to 2 are used for gathering and easing as well as compensating for stretch distortion of knitted fabrics.
When the differential feed is set from 0.6 to 0.8 the front feed dog moves less than the back feed dog. For example, when the differential feed is set at 0.8 the front feed dog will feed 20% less than the back feed dog. This is useful for eliminating puckering on woven fabrics and stretching knit fabrics for a lettuce leaf effect.
|Is my warranty valid when I purchase a Baby Lock product by mail or through the Internet?
|If you purchase a "New" Baby Lock product from an "Unauthorized Dealer" through the Internet, mail or in their store, you are no longer the original purchaser. The warranty only applies to the original purchaser when new. No "Authorized" Baby Lock retailer is allowed to sell by Internet or mail.
|I have been looking at older model Baby Lock sergers and thinking of purchasing one. Will parts and service be available for these older models?
|The answer is yes. Baby Lock stands behind all its products with ongoing parts and service. Instruction manuals would also be available for the older models.
|Do I have to use serger cone thread on my serger?
|You can use regular sewing machine thread. However, make sure you have enough thread to finish the project. Sergers use more thread than a sewing machine. You may also need to adjust the tension settings. Sewing thread is heavier than serger cone thread.
|I recently purchased a Baby Lock serger. The manual instructions say to oil the serger, but does not give any diagram indicating where to oil it.
The only place to oil the serger is the upper looper arm where it is connected to the machine. Turn the handwheel by hand to notice where the looper moves back and forth.
Place a drop of oil at this point. Anything else the machine needs to be taken to your Baby Lock dealer for periodic maintenance.
|I just sat down to my serger after leaving it set for a month. I can't get it to make an acceptable stitch. What should I do?
Whenever you are having a problem getting an acceptable stitch with your serger, here are some troubleshooting tips for you:
1. Change you needles. You should change your needles after every project or 10-12 hours of serging.
2. Check all threading guides or thread path to make sure the threads haven't slipped loose anywhere or twisted.
3. Check to make sure all your tensions are set correctly and that the threads are all seated in the tensions themselves. Make sure they are free from lint and excess thread.
4. Check to make sure you have the proper throat plate on your machine, or that the stitch finger is in the proper position for the stitch you are creating.
5. Choose an appropriate stitch length and width for the type of stitch you are creating as well as for the fabric you are working with. Check your manual for suggested settings.
|My lower looper thread keeps breaking. I have rethreaded it over a dozen times. What is wrong with my serger!?
|Probably nothing. After you rethread a broken lower looper thread, make sure the needle thread is on top of the thread plate before you start to serge again.
|How often should I clean my serger?
|The serger should be cleaned after each project is completed. If you are working on a large project that creates a lot of lint build up, you may need to clean the machine a couple of times while working on the item. You can clean the serger yourself by using an air compressor, your vacuum cleaner, or your hair dryer set on cool. Problems that can occur if a machine is not cleaned on a regular basis are: inconsistent stitching, a noisy machine, and improper feeding. Avoid these problems by making sure to clean all thread guides and brush the lint off the knives and feed dog frequently using the brush that included in the accessory pack.
|The thread loops off the edge of the fabric while serging. How do I correct the problem?
Check to see if your differential feed is on. If it is not supposed to be on set the differential at N.
Make sure the cutting blade is at the correct width setting.
Check upper and lower looper tension settings.
Make sure the machine is threaded properly and the threads are in the tension disks.
|I am having problems with my serger occasionally breaking needles. What should I check?
|You can check the following things. Was the needle inserted properly? Is the needle bent or worn? Are the right and left needles threaded with the correct threads?, Was the fabric pushed or pulled through machine? Is good quality thread being used? If the problem persists take the machine to an authorized Baby Lock Dealer for service.
|Are there extra accessory feet available for my Baby Lock serger?
Yes. Our web site has an Accessory search web page. You select the product you want accessories from the list and select Go. The website will then display all the accessories available for that serger. Here is that web page address: http://www.babylock.com/accessories or select the Accessories link from the Products page.
|I am about to begin a polar fleece project on my serger. Can you give me any hints?
|When sewing on polar fleece, you will need to adjust the stitch length 3-4. Set the stitch width at 7.5mm. Loosen the pressure on the foot according to the instruction book. Set the differential feed at the lowest setting 0.6 or 0.7. If serging a coat or top you will need to stabilize the shoulder seam. To do this, place tape into the tape sewing guide. Sew tape to shoulder seam to prevent stretching. Have fun constructing your project!
|I want to make some quick polar fleece pull-over shirts. What type of thread and stitch works best?
|Wooly nylon is the best thread to use because of it's stretchable quality. A three thread overlock is best for most of your construction. In areas that will have a lot stress such as the arm holes you may want to use a two thread overlock.
|Can I hem polar fleece with a narrow cover stitch, and can I stitch it so the looper thread shows on top?
|Yes, the narrow cover stitch, with the looper thread showing on top in a nice accent to a garment.
|I want to use decorative thread in my serger but don't know where to start.
Decorative borders or edges are a good place to start. They can be created with an array of threads from fine to heavy weight.
Fabric: Firm Woven
Stitch: Three Thread Left Needle
Standard Length Setting: 2 1/2-3
Width Setting: 7.5mm
Differential Feed Setting: N
Tension Guidelines: Balanced Stitch - If using a serger that requires tension adjustment, then start with loosening the upper looper tension setting (0-3) to maintain a balanced stitch.
Record Tension Settings:
Left Needle_____ Upper Looper_____ Lower Looper_____
Thread the upper looper with buttonhole twist, or pearl cotton. Thread the lower looper and needle with all-purpose cone thread. Stitch along the edge of the fabric. Check the stitch to make sure the tensions are set properly. If adjustment is needed, fine tune the tensions and test the stitch again.
Threading both the upper and lower looper with a heavier decorative thread can create reversible borders. Both looper tensions will need to be loosened to accommodate the thickness of the thread.
|Can I use heavier decorative threads in my Evolve, Imagine, or Eclipse? If so, how do I get the thread through the loopers?
There are four ways of working with decorative threads on the evolve, imagine, or eclipse. They are:
Tying On
Threads that are lightweight and have a different texture can be too inconsistent to thread through the threading port. Threads such as: Woolly Nylon, fine rayon, fine metallic, lightweight clear nylon, can be tied on and pulled through the threading port.
Tying on Upper or Lower Looper Thread
Tying On - Bypassing Threading Port
Heavier decorative threads will be too big to feed through the threading port. Bypassing is the perfect solution to working with these types of threads, such as: Pearl Crown Rayon, Designer 6, Decor 6, Candlelight, Pearl Crown Rayon, Ribbon Floss, etc.
Looper Threading Tool
When working with decorative threads, the looper-threading tool is wonderful. It can be inserted all the way through the threading port and the looper. It is useful when the loopers are unthreaded.
For fine decorative threads, have the machine in the locked position. Insert the straight end of the tool, into the threading port and guide through to the eye of the looper. The decorative thread can then be inserted in the loop of the tool and pulled through.
To bypass the threading port for heavy decorative threads, have the machine in the unlocked position. Insert the tool; loop end first, from the eye of the looper to the end of the looper tube, just before the threading port. Insert the decorative thread into the loop and pull the thread through the looper.
Creating a Thread Cradle
Creating a thread cradle is an ideal alternative for feeding lightweight decorative threads through the threading port, when the eclipse is unthreaded and the looper threader has been misplaced.
To create a thread cradle cut approximately 20" to 30" piece of thread and make a large loop. Take the two end pieces of the loop and insert about an inch into the threading port. Pump the "Jet Air" lever to draw the ends of the thread through the eye of the looper. (Be sure to lightly hold the thread above the pump so that the thread is not pumped all the way through!) Lightweight decorative thread can then be inserted into the loop that is just above the looper threading port, and pulled through the looper.
|I use a lot of decorative thread in my loopers. What is the best thread to use in my needle to avoid constant needle thread changes?
|Monofilament, it is a very fine, strong, yet transparent thread that will not interfere with the decorative quality of your looper threads.
|What suggestions do you have to prevent metallic threads from twisting and breaking when using it in the looper or loopers of a sergers?
|To prevent threads from twisting and breaking, try a Horizontal Thread Holder. It attaches to the sergers thread pin to create a horizontal thread spinal. It prevents slippery or wiry threads from coming off the spool or cone during serging.
|Can I do 2 thread flatlock stitch with heavy decorative thread in the needle? I want to create a heavy ladder stitch.
|Yes, use a size 14 top stitch needle to accommodate the heavy thread. You must serge slowly. This is not a fast technique.
|I can't get my flatlock stitch to lay flat. What is the trick to get it to lay flat?
1. Check the manual for tension settings. Check the needle tension and the lower looper tension.
2. When serging, have half of the loops on the fold of the fabric and half of the loops off the fold. When pulling fold open the stitching should lay flat on top of the fabric.
|I would like to do the "Blanket stitch" that is on ready to wear garments and blankets. Can I do this with my Eclipse?
Yes, it can be done with the Eclipse as well as the Imagine serger. Here are the directions to set up your serger. Follow these instructions for achieving a perfect blanket stitch on your Baby Lock Eclipse serger:
Needle thread: Wooly nylon, Monet, or your choice of decorative thread.
Needle tension: 0
Upper Looper thread: Maxi Lock thread
Upper Looper tension: 9
Lower Looper thread: Maxi Lock Thread
Lower Looper tension: 9
Stitch Length: 3-4
Stitch Width: 7.5
Differential Feed:
Settings for Imagine Serger:
Three thread flatlock stitch
Needle thread: Wooly nylon, Monet or your choice of decorative thread.
Upper Looper: Maxi Lock thread
Lower Looper: Maxi Lock thread
Cut a narrow strip of Sulky water soluble stabilizer and place along edge of fabric and serge the stabilizer into the flatlock stitch. Pull the stabilizer to the edge of the fabric and tear away. This action pulls the stitching into the blanket stitch.
|How do I create my own wire-edged ribbon?
Cut strips of fabric the length and width desired. Using a 3 thread rolled hem on your serger, serge the wire to the fabric edge.
The type of wire to use is Bridal Wire that is wrapped with white fabric.
This can be found in the bridal section of craft stores or fabric stores. The fabric covering the wire gives a better appearance of coverage with the serger stitching. Be careful to keep the wire away from the cuffing blade.
Stitch: 3 thread rolled hem
Foot: Beading foot
|I recently purchased my first serger. How do I turn corners using the serger?
Outside Corners: Stitch to the end of the corner edge, but not beyond. Stop with the needles up and raise the presser foot. With tweezers pull approximately 1/4" of slack thread above the needles. The slack will allow the fabric to be pulled slightly to the back, clearing stitches from the stitch fingers. Turn the fabric, aligning the new edge with the edge of the needle plate. Remove any slack from the needle threads. Lower the foot and continue sewing.
Inside Corners: Cut an inside corner in a piece of fabric. Line up the edge of the fabric with the edge of the needle plate. Begin sewing. Stitch until the needles are about one inch away from the corner. Lower needles to secure the fabric and raise the presser foot. Manipulate the fabric until the cut edge pulls straight and a pleat forms to the left of the presser foot. Continue sewing until the inside corner is complete.
|I own a Baby Lock serger with Differential Feed. With this feature can I gather one layer while sewing it to another?
With the ruffling foot you can! There is a separating device on the foot that separates the two layers of fabric. The bottom layer will be gathered while the top layer is being sewn to the bottom. Use the following instructions to use the foot. The ruffling foot is available through your Baby Lock Retailer.
Attach the ruffling foot to the machine. Place the fabric to be gathered under the presser foot, right side up. Place the top piece between the guides in the front of the foot, right side down. Pull the fabric toward the needles and place the edge of fabric next to the inside edge of the guide. Slowly begin sewing, guiding the bottom piece of fabric with the left hand and the top fabric with the right hand. The bottom piece will be gathered and will feed faster than the top piece.
|Is there an easy way to make a spaghetti strap on a serger?
|To create a spaghetti strap on a serger set it up to a narrow rolled hemstitch. Begin sewing a chain 5" to 10" longer than the length of the strap. Bring the chain around the left of the presser foot and to the front of the machine. Fold the fabric around the thread chain. Line up the fold with the left edge of the presser foot and sew. Be sure the thread chain stays within the fold. The cutting blades will trim away the excess fabric width. When the sewing is complete, pull the thread chain to turn the strap to the right side.
|How can I find out the value of my Baby Lock machine that is ten years old?
|Visit or call your local Baby Lock Dealer. There is a Blue Book that is printed with all the makes and model of sewing machines and sergers with a blue book value listed for each model. They can tell you the blue book value of the machine.
|I have just had both blades changed on my eclipse. Now it is throwing the trimmings back up onto the seam, instead of them coming off the side like they should. I am also having problems getting it to cross seams. I have to help it get over them, any suggestions?
It sounds like your blades are out of alignment. Take the serger back to the person who changed the blades. Let them know what types of problems you've experienced since the blades were changed. Have them check the alignment of the blades. Before leaving the store with the machine, test it to make sure it is adjusted and sewing to your satisfaction.
For sewing over heavy fabrics, or when crossing seams, use the following suggestions and settings on the serger. The heavier the fabric the longer the stitch. When crossing seams make sure to use a slightly longer stitch length. Gently guide the fabric on the left-hand side of the presser foot. When sewing over extremely heavy seams, loosen the pressure on the presser foot and use a narrower stitch width 3.0 mm - 6.0 mm.
|I have the Protege serger and my lower looper thread keeps breaking. What is wrong?
|Whenever the lower looper thread breaks, unthread the "eye" of the needles. Then rethread the lower looper. The needle thread wraps around the lower looper and whenever you rethread the looper you enclose the needle thread and the needle thread then breaks the lower looper thread.
|I own a Protege serger. There is a silver screw located to the right of my upper knife called the "upper knife locking screw". What is this used for?
|This feature is great for sewing on heavy fabrics. Tighten the screw when sewing on heavy fabrics to prevent the upper knife from deflecting, causing inconsistent trimming and poor feeding.
