Yu Darvish announces that he will be posted on Thursday
Dec 8, 2011, 1:19 AM EDT
Courtesy of Google's Japanese-to-English translation service (hey, we're doing what we can here people) comes this announcement from the personal blog of Japanese right-hander Yu Darvish:
This time, having decided that Darvish posting system to use. The announcement will convey to everyone here, because most of the fans. The baseball team Hokkaido Nippon Ham Fighters I really appreciate it. However, just because it still took a posting procedure can not speak for more at this stage. I would like the conference will be all fixed.
In other words, Darvish is leaving Nippon Professional Baseball and heading to the major leagues, and will address any questions at a press conference soon. He'll become available for posting bids on Thursday and is expected to draw offers from some of baseball's biggest spenders.
Darvish, 25, posted a stellar 18-7 record, 1.44 ERA and 276/36 K/BB ratio across 232 innings this past season for the Hokkaido Nippon-Ham Fighters. He had a 1.99 career ERA in seven total NPB seasons.
UPDATE: Patrick Newman of NPB Tracker has a far better translation of the Darvish blog post and was kind enough to let us use it. Patrick's site does a great job of tracking NPB headlines. Check it out.
To all the fans, an announcement
At this time, Yu Darvish has decided to use the posting system.
Because I wanted to relay this to the fans first, I am announcing this here.
I greatly appreciate the Hokkaido Nippon Ham Fighters Baseball Club.
Because we've only just begun the posting process, I can't talk about the details now.
I wish to hold a press conference once everything is decided.

I would like the conference will be all fixed, too. Can't blame him for not speak for more at this stage, though. Let's see if the Darvish posting system to use.
- meteor32 - Dec 8, 2011 at 2:18 AM
I love the name Ham Fighters.

Always makes me wonder if….
A). Some guy is trying to scrounge up a sandwitch for lunch.
B). Or if two Pigs are fighting over a left-over bit of slop….
NBC should do a special.
- Chris K - Dec 8, 2011 at 3:00 AM
Not to be a stickler, but Japanese teams are named after corporations. The team is actually called the Fighters. The corporation is Nippon Ham.
- Ari Collins - Dec 8, 2011 at 9:14 AM
I know that, but it's still REALLY fun to think of them as the Ham Fighters from Nippon.
I always think of them as Japanese Jews. The Kosher Krusaders.

The more and more I read and think about this and also try and look at what has been posted about the Yankees wanting to or trying to get under the luxury tax threshold of $189MM starting in 2014 the more sense Darvish makes for the Yankees. Since only his contract and not the posting fee counts towards the threshold.
If I'm the Yankees and I'm truly interested in signing this guy to say a 6 year contract. I make my posting bid just over $60MM and assume it's going to take about $66MM over 6 years to sign him to a contract. Total cost about $126MM but only $11MM per year counting towards the luxury tax threshold.
If the Yankees were to sign him I could see where it would be a harbinger of a AJ Burnett trade.
And I have to be honest a starting rotation of: CC, Darvish, Nova, Hughes and Garcia sounds a heck of a lot better to me than CC, AJ, Nova, Hughes and Garcia. Then the Yankees have Noesi, Phelps, Mitchell, Warren, Banuelos and Betances waiting in the wings or possible putting one or more of them (except Banuelos) in a package for a future trade. All sorts of scenarios are possible. Just food for thought.
- whatthehellisansky - Dec 8, 2011 at 8:38 AM
I'd sign up for that no questions asked….
On a diff note – i've heard that with the new CBA that the yankees could spend big on international free agents this year- does anyone know the particulars around that?
- uyf1950 - Dec 8, 2011 at 8:57 AM
My understanding and please don't take this as gospel is that the tax for going over the set limits for draft choices and loss of potential draft choice(s) etc… for international players doesn't go into effect until June or July of 2012.
- uyf1950 - Dec 8, 2011 at 9:04 AM
whatthehellis… – I think if you click on this link it should answer most of your questions.
- randygnyc - Dec 8, 2011 at 9:07 AM
I'm praying the Yankees get in on this, very aggressively. Offer $75 million posting fee. It's only money, something they have lots of and like you said, it's true that the posting fee is not accounted for against the cap.
- Ari Collins - Dec 8, 2011 at 9:17 AM
+1'd because the Yankees SHOULD do this. Not +1'd because I WANT them to.
Also, the Sox have a greater need to stay under the luxury tax, so they MIGHT try for him. And they have Bobby V., who reportedly loves Darvish after facing him many times.
Of course, they also have a potential PR disaster if he fails to translate his skills over here. Unlikely, I believe, but it would look like a double disaster after Daisuke.
- phillyphreak - Dec 8, 2011 at 7:00 AM
I like the first translation much better.
- thejokewriter - Dec 8, 2011 at 10:10 AM
Once again, this "whirling Darvish" nonsense is enough to make my head spin!

DeVeDe 3.16.8, create DVDs from video files
DeVeDe is an application that converts various video file formats into a disc that can be played in a DVD player. Other applications and tool chains can be coaxed into doing this but DeVeDe has the advantage of being a dedicated utility that has been designed for a single function.
What DeVeDe can't do is convert video files into other arbitrary formats or distill the contents of a video DVD into a single video file. As you might have guessed, there are no facilities for actual video editing within the program. However, you could team DeVeDe up with a dedicated video editor if you need to make changes to the source material.
When you first launch DeVeDe you are presented with a menu that allows you to choose between output formats. Apart from the ability to create standard DVDs, you can also make video CDs and DVDs with DivX files for players that support it.
Next up, you are taken to the main interface that allows you to add video files and titles to the disk. Each project is made up of a series of titles that are selectable from the main menu of the finished DVD. These titles, listed on the left of the screen, are associated with one or more video files, listed on the right. The source video files can be any video format that the system can understand and you can mix different formats within the same project. There is a submenu that allows you to adjust settings such as quality and aspect ratio for each video file. The DVD menu itself can be customized to some extent by selecting a background image, a font and a music file.
A bar in the middle of the main window shows you how much space you have left on the DVD. If the bar exceeds 100%, click on adjust and the program will automatically lower the quality settings to fit all of the video files onto the medium.
When you have the project arranged you can begin rendering the DVD image. This can take a long time, and thankfully, there is an option to render a short preview to test your settings. The finished file is output as a .iso file, ready for burning to disk.
Although the options aren't as comprehensive as some other programs, I don't think that there any absent features that 90% of people will actually need. In contrast, a lot of applications of this sort force the user to become of a bit of an expert in video standards and container file formats. It's also worth mentioning that the help file is complete and details every part of the program. All in all, it's a great little utility that does everything that it should. Recommended.

Great Program
I use it all the time.
Still using version 3.12
Been using DeVeDe for years now & really love that little program. Great way for me to rip my DVDs & archive them. Nice write up Michael!

Haha, I thought this was another one of mine (I'm losing track)! Excellent choice in films, Michael. :)

Size estimate
In my experience, the bar is inaccurate when creating a DVD ISO where transcoding is required. I recently put together a DVD ISO with 4 AVI files and it estimated the usage at 196%, but after transcoding (without changing quality settings), it resulted in a 3.6GB ISO. I have a feeling that DeVeDe doesn't account for compression after converting an avi to an mpg file.
heck yeah!
I've been using this little beauty for years!!!

Contact: Susan Houston Ross Gittell President Vice President, Forecast Manager New England Economic Partnership New England Economic Partnership 781-489-6262 603-862-3340 email@example.com email@example.com SIGNIFICANT RECESSION ANTICIPATED ACROSS NEW ENGLAND; SLOW, WEAK RECOVERY TO FOLLOW BOSTON, Mass. (November 20, 2008) – The New England Economic Partnership (NEEP) released new economic forecasts for the U.S., the New England Region and each of the six New England states at its Fall Economic Outlook Conference held at the Federal Reserve Bank of Boston today. NEEP economists anticipate a significant recession, with difficult challenges ahead for the New England economy. The broadening and deepening impact of the global credit crisis was cited as a major source of New England's current problems. The crisis now has extended from the housing market, to construction, to the financial sector, to retail trade and beyond to other sectors of the regional economy. Lowered consumer and business confidence have already led to declining sales and investment and employment. Declining employment is expected to further reduce consumer and business confidence, contributing to further reductions in spending and more layoffs. NEEP economists expect this negative cycle to persist in the regional economy well through much, if not all, of 2009. During the forecast period the region is expected to lose about 250,000 jobs, or 3.6 percent of its employment. Total employment in the region is expected to decline through the remainder of the decade and then remain virtually flat through 2011. Unemployment is expected to rise to its highest rate since 1992, from its September rate of 6 percent to over 8 percent in mid-2010 but remaining below the national average. The comparatively favorable forecast compared to the nation is due to the relatively high level of educational attainment and slow growth in the labor force in the region. Among the New England states, Rhode Island is expected to have the highest unemployment, peaking at 10.3 percent. All the other states in the region are expected to have unemployment peaks below the U.S. rate. Maine is expected to have the second highest unemployment in the region, with a peak of 8.7 percent. Connecticut and Massachusetts are anticipated to have unemployment peaks of 8.3 percent, and Vermont (6.9 percent) and New Hampshire (7.4 percent) are expected to experience the lowest unemployment peaks in the region. Real per capita income in the region and nation are expected to decline sharply in the 4th quarter of 2008 -- at a 4.4 percent annualized rate -- and then be flat through 2009. Real income per capita is expected to rise only modestly after 2009 – not reaching 3 percent growth until 2011. This decline in real per capita income growth in New England is expected to be higher in this recession than in the three previous recessions and greater than the national average in this recession. It is anticipated that this decline will contribute to a more pronounced and prolonged employment decline in New England than in other regions. Housing prices in all states in the region except Vermont have been experiencing sharp decline, but the "good news" is that New England's housing declines are not as sharp as those being seen in the more "over-heated" housing markets in California, Florida, Nevada and Arizona and also in some of the depressed markets in the Midwest. In addition, mortgage past due rates are below the national average in five of the six states – all except Rhode Island. The peak-to-trough decline in the region in median housing prices is expected to be 22 percent – less than the forecasted peak-to-trough national decline of 30 percent. "While NEEP's forecast is for a deeper and more prolonged recession than forecasted by Moody's economy.com and some other pundits, the projected 2 employment decline and unemployment rates are in line with prior recessions," said Ross Gittell, NEEP Vice President and James R. Carter professor at the University of New Hampshire's Whittemore School of Business and Economics. "The employment decline forecast for the region is very close to the percentage decline in employment in the last recession in the early 2000s in the region and it is significantly less than the employment decline in the early 1990s recession when the region lost nearly 10 percent of its employment base. In each of the last three recessions, however, the percentage decline in employment in New England was more pronounced and more prolonged than the national average. This is forecast to be the case again in this recession." Looking further ahead, a weak economic recovery is expected across the region, due mainly to the extensive credit market and economic challenges and the anticipated long time period required to work through them. The recovery is expected to be weaker and slower in New England than in the nation, and the region's relatively high concentration in business investment and high income dependent industries will contribute to a more pronounced and extended employment decline in New England than nationally. By the end of the forecast period (end of 2011) the region is expected to have 157,000 fewer jobs, or 2.2 percent , than at the beginning of 2008. Mark Zandi, Chief Economist for Moody's Economy.com opened the conference with a presentation on the U.S. economy. He noted that the year-long recession is intensifying, with nearly 1.2 million jobs lost since the beginning of 2008 – more than 500,000 in just the past two months. Unemployment has surged to 6.5 percent, the highest rate since the early 1990s. Zandi commented that due to massive intervention by the Federal Reserve and other global central banks, many short-term financial markets have performed somewhat better than before the interventions. The Fed's moves are anticipated to promote stability; however, even if they succeed as expected, a substantial amount of damage has already been done to underlying confidence. 3 Consumer confidence plunged in October to its lowest reading since the Conference Board began its survey more than 40 years ago. It was noted that this is all the more surprising given the sharp drop in gasoline prices during the month, which usually improves household spirits. "The outlook has darkened rapidly in recent weeks," said Zandi. "Real GDP is expected to fall through the second quarter of 2009 and post a decline for the year as a whole. The unemployment rate is expected to rise through early 2010, peaking at 8 percent. This represents a dramatic change in the forecast. As recently as the August outlook, 2009 real GDP was projected to be near 1.5 percent. This is the largest change in the outlook in such a short period since Moody's Economy.com began forecasting the US macro economy nearly 20 years ago. Moreover, until the financial system is stabilized and policymakers take the steps expected, risks to this outlook remain firmly to the downside. The longer financial markets remain unsettled, the less credit will flow, the bigger the hit to household wealth, and the longer confidence will founder." In conclusion, Zandi stated, "Without substantial fiscal stimulus and a much larger foreclosure mitigation plan, the economy's slide will be much longer and deeper. The Great Depression occurred in significant part because of government missteps and inaction. That is a lesson that today's policymakers must heed." Today's conference, sponsored by A.D. Makepeace, and also featured keynote speaker Tom Curry, a director of the FDIC, who remarks focused on the security of the financial system.

State employment is down by -4.1k from its job peak of 1.7065m in 12/07, and the unemployment rate at 6.1 percent is well above the 4.4 percent low recorded in the first six months of 2007. "Despite these numbers, Connecticut is relatively better off (so far) than the 760k jobs that have been lost in the US since the start of 2008," said Edward Deak, Professor of Economics at Fairfield University and Connecticut Forecast Chair. "Connecticut has been late to feel the broader job loss because of its failure to be an aggressive participant in the housing boom-bust cycle that is at the heart of the early phase of the recession. However, the state is expected to be relatively harder hit by the second phase as the financial crisis leads to substantial reductions in the high income jobs that have been a major pillar of the Connecticut expansion." NEEP forecasters anticipate that the restructuring of the U.S. financial services industry including Wall Street, insurance, and commercial plus investment banking will undermine the Connecticut recovery, causing slower job and income growth. The state will be late to emerge from the recession with a peak unemployment rate of 8.5 percent in 10:Q2 and job losses of 15k in 2010. Jobs lost in Connecticut in the recession are unlikely to be regained until sometime in late 2012 and possibly beyond. Absent overbuilding and reckless lending, the housing recession arrived later in Connecticut than the U.S., but housing is expected to be weak through the end of 2009. Existing single family Connecticut home median sale prices peaked at $326.8k in 07:Q4, but have fallen to $285.5 in 08:Q3, and may drop to a low of $232.2 in 10:Q2. ### 6 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Contact: Charles Colgan Ross Gittell Maine Forecast Manager Vice President, NEEP Forecast Manager New England Economic Partnership New England Economic Partnership 207-780-4008 603-862-3340 email@example.com email@example.com MAINE ENTERS RECESSION WITH SOME STRENGTHS, MAY ESCAPE THE WORST OF NATIONAL RECESSION At today's outlook conference, NEEP forecasters noted that the state faces a recession of some depth and length. The forecast shows a decline in Maine employment of more than 17,000 jobs from peak in 20007 Q4 to the third quarter of 2010, a decline of 2.9 percent. This will be considerably more serious than the most recent recession in Maine in 2001, but well short of the disastrous 1990-91 recession. The closing of Naval Air Station Brunswick during the forecast period will result in the major outmigration of military personnel and their families in 2009 and early 2010, right in the depths of the recession. Given the relentless losses in Maine's manufacturing industries over the past several decades, however, the forecast relatively mild job losses in manufacturing must be counted as a bright spot. Like the rest of the U.S., Maine has been suffering from problems in the housing sector. Residential housing permits declined by nearly 40 percent through the first three quarters of 2008 compared with the same period a year earlier, and existing home sales were down nearly 18 percent. But the median house price had fallen only 4 percent through the first part of 2008 compared with the same period in 2007, and wage and salary employment in construction was down only about 1,000 jobs, or 3.4 percent. "Looking ahead, several major construction projects in connection with wind energy development and modernization of the electric transmission grid in Maine count as bright spots, said Charles Colgan, Professor of Public Policy and Management in the Edmund S. Muskie School of Public Service at the University of Southern Maine, and Maine Forecast Chair. "None of these projects has cleared regulatory hurdles yet and so are not built into the forecast. However, if they are built the projects together will employ perhaps 2,000-3,000 people. While many of those hired would be specialized construction workers from outside the state, the projects would clearly soften the blow of the recession." 7 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Contact: Alan Clayton-Matthews Ross Gittell Massachusetts Forecast Manager Vice President, NEEP Forecast Manager New England Economic Partnership New England Economic Partnership 617-287-6945 603-862-3340 firstname.lastname@example.com firstname.lastname@example.com MASSACHUSETTS ENTERS RECESSION, RETURN OF JOB GROWTH NOT SEEN UNTIL MID-2010 At today's Fall Outlook Conference, NEEP forecasters said that the Massachusetts economy has entered a recession that will last through the first half of next year, although job growth will not return until the middle of 2010. Massachusetts payroll employment is projected to decline by 4.1 percent between the peak in the second quarter of 2008 to the trough in the third quarter of 2010, or by approximately 135,000 jobs. In the dot-com recession of 2001, the state lost 205,000 or 6.1 percent of its jobs, and in the recession of the late 1980s/early 1990s, Massachusetts lost 356,000 or 11.3 percent of its jobs. On an annual basis (fourth quarter to fourth quarter), real gross state domestic product is expected to slow from 2.0 percent growth in 2007 to 1.3 percent growth in 2008, and 0.3 percent growth in 2009. In the last three years of the forecast period 2010 through 2012, annual average growth is projected to be 3.1 percent. Personal income growth will slow from 6.3 percent in 2007 (on a fourth-quarter to fourth-quarter basis) to 1.8 percent in 2008. In real terms the growth rates are 2.8 percent and -2.0 percent respectively. Housing production in the state has slowed to a crawl, and the fall in house prices is expected to continue through the first half of 2010, with a cumulative price decline, on a seasonally-adjusted quarterly basis, of 21 percent from the peak in the third quarter of 2005 to the trough in the second quarter of 2010. "It's difficult to see how the economy could perform better over the next year or two than the scenario embodied in this forecast," noted Alan Clayton-Matthews, Associate Professor, McCormack Graduate School of Policy Studies, UMass Boston and Massachusetts Forecast Chair. "It is easier to imagine scenarios that are worse, if only because of the time required for the economy to turn around given its downward momentum. It appears that asset prices for both stocks and real estate are overshooting on the downside, with consequent effects on the real economy through falling wealth and falling expectations that affect both consumer and investment demand. This vicious downward spiral will take some time to correct itself and turn around." ### 8 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Contact: Dennis C. Delay Ross Gittell N.H. Forecast Manager Vice President, NEEP Forecast Manager New England Economic Partnership New England Economic Partnership 603-226-2500 603-862-3340 firstname.lastname@example.com email@example.com NEW HAMPSHIRE ECONOMY STRONGER THAN NEW ENGLAND AND U.S. AS RECESSION LOOMS NEEP forecasters today commented on the comparative strength of the New Hampshire economy, as the state enters the recessionary period in a stronger position than the rest of the New England states and the nation as a whole. Unemployment rates in New Hampshire have remained below the U.S. average, and though housing prices in the state have fallen, they are not anticipated to drop as much as has been the case in parts of California and Florida. Granite State manufacturing related to national defense and precision instruments is expanding, while motor vehicle related manufacturing is in recession. Manufacturing jobs in the state declined at a -1.8 percent annual rate in the last five years (2002 to 2007) and the decline in New Hampshire manufacturing jobs will slow to a -0.2 percent average loss each year in the forecast period. New Hampshire single-family residential home sales have fallen 42 percent from the peak, from 17,000 units sold in 2004 to about 10,000 estimated for 2008. Housing prices have so far held up much better, declining 11 percent from $269,900 in 2005 to an estimated $240,000 in 2008. The inflation adjusted price in 2008 is now lower than the 2003 price. "Few doubt that we are in a recession now," said Dennis C. Delay, Deputy Director, New Hampshire Center for Public Policy Studies and New Hampshire Forecast Chair. "Dark days are ahead, for New Hampshire and the world economy, but New Hampshire's financial distress is not as severe as that in other parts of the country, given the fact that consumers are consistently making their credit card payments on time and unemployment rates in the state have remained below the US average." ### 9 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Contact: Edinaldo Tebaldi Edward Mazze Ross Gittell RI Forecast Co-Chair RI Forecast Co-Chair VP, NEEP Forecast Manager NEEP NEEP NEEP 401-232-6901 401-874-4308 603-862-3340 email@example.com email@example.com firstname.lastname@example.com RHODE ISLAND'S ECONOMY DECLINES SWIFTLY, HIGHEST UNEMPLOYMENT RATE IN US At today's outlook conference, NEEP forecasters said that the Rhode Island economy shrank 0.39 percent in September and 1.34 percent over the third quarter – one of the fastest rates in the nation. The decline was due to the loss of jobs, a credit crunch brought about by subprime mortgages, the support of financial institutions by the federal government, the deterioration of the housing market, high energy costs and the state's budget deficit. In September, Rhode Island's unemployment rate of 8.8 percent was the highest in the United States. Unemployment is forecasted to be 9.5 percent in 2009 and 10.2 percent in 2010. The unemployment rate will not be below 8 percent until 2012. The annual growth rate of real GDP will be 0.2 percent in 2009 – in 2010 it is expected to grow by 5.4 percent. Housing continues to become more affordable in the state as the average median price of a home declines. The median price of a home in 2008 was $263.3 thousand and is expected to be $230.5 in 2009. By 2011 the median price of a home is forecast to be $203 thousand, an $80,000 reduction from 2007. "Rhode Island had a budget deficit of $430 million for FY2008. To balance the budget, the state made substantial cuts in personnel, health and social programs and higher education, and the state's FY 2009 budget is more than $65 million in deficit as of early November and is expected to increase," said Edward Mazze, Distinguished University Professor of Business Administration in the College of Business Administration, University of Rhode Island, and Rhode Island Forecast Chair. "The challenges facing job growth and economic development in the state continue to be a lack of leadership in both public and private sectors, high tax rates, an unfriendly business, environment, dependence on public jobs rather than private employment and a poorly performing education system." 10 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Contact: Jeffrey B. Carr Ross Gittell Vermont Forecast Chair Vice President, NEEP Forecast Manager New England Economic Partnership New England Economic Partnership 802-878-0346, x108 603-862-3340 email@example.com email@example.com VERMONT ECONOMY FOLLOWS U.S. ECONOMY INTO RECESSION NEEP forecasters today said that the Vermont economy has followed that of the U.S. into what is anticipated to be a lengthy period of economic recession. As is the case with the rest of the country, a slow, historically restrained rate of recovery is expected. Payroll jobs will decline through the second quarter of calendar year 2010, followed by a gradual recovery, with improvements in the rate of job growth in the final two years of the forecast period. GSP, with the exception of the initial recession year of the forecast in calendar 2008, will rebound and recover at a slightly slower pace than New England as a whole from 2009 to 2010, and then at a slightly stronger rate in 2012. The unemployment rate will rise to levels not experienced since the early 1990s, but will remain below that of both the New England region and the U.S. Vermont's unemployment rate is forecast to rise to a maximum of 6.7 percent in 2010, well below New England's projected maximum of 8.3 percent. Despite having had one of the lowest delinquency rates in the country and region so far, delinquencies are rising in Vermont and the forecast indicates that the housing market will continue to be a drag on the pace of the state's economic forward progress over at least the next 18 months. "The most thorough analysis of the Vermont economy indicates that the state is currently in a full-fledged economic downturn that likely began in December of 2007," said Jeff Carr, vice president and economist, Economic and Policy Resources, Inc. and NEEP Vermont forecast chair. "The worst economic recession for the U.S. economy since the early 1980s is going to produce a recession in Vermont and the entire New England region that in many respects will be the deepest and longest since the 1989-91 downturn. If that forecast holds, the current economic recession in Vermont will be the most significant state economic recession since World War II, except for that very difficult 1989-91 downturn." ### 11

I have bought this foundation over and over again. It works really well for my skin. I tend to only wear this in the cooler months, because it does not have any SPF. The consistency is very water based making it very smooth and easy to apply.

This foundation speaks for itself. It will photograph beautifully in natural lighting but in real life it's just mediocre. I like that the packaging comes with a pump and that the foundation is easy to blend. The coverage is medium, it takes a lot of product for it to be full coverage. I still get oily and the foundation doesn't have great staying power. I would only use this foundation if I knew I was going to be photographed. In my opinion, not worth it for the price. You're better off finding a full coverage foundation that also photographs well.

I believe this is a pretty good foundation. My reason is it is buildable. Why? If you feel like you want to go on one application for natural look, you can do it. If you want to cover yourself, apply layers of it. It does not clump as long as you moisturize (a good canvas is a must). I saw one comment that says it is very yellow foundation. You must have got the foundation that has a yellow undertone in it (I am an N128 <== Neutral color in HD foundation). The Foundation has a wide variety of colors. They have the Pink Undertone, Yellow undertone, and Neutral undertone groups of foundation. Overall, it is not heavy on the face, and is capable of natural sheer look to heavy cover ups (very buildable foundation).

I get why this could be a good foundation for some people but if you need coverage this isn't good. If you need light coverage to none you may like this but for me it covers nothing I have acne scars and it's not like it's hard to cover because I use to always wear a cheap cover girl foundation, this product just has no coverage and it sucks for dry skin clings to everything . I also got matched for a bad color I think otherwise the foundation is very yellow .

First of all, I'd like to say that I love foundation - especially "medium" to high-end ones. I have oily skin with a dry forehead and had high hopes for this foundation.
Packaging/ w/ a pump.
It is very matte.
Doesn't take a lot of product for good coverage.
YES, it might be very matte however it is not oil resistant nor does it stay in place (even in combination with their Finishing Powder!). It literally slid off my face after about 3 hours.
It feels cakey and thick.
It looks cakey and thick.
It broke me out despite it being "non-comedogenic".
It deoxidises and turned my pink based shade into an orange one.
The product highlighted my dry patches and made them significantly worse.

This foundation is a natural finish and sits well on my dry skin, not clinging to patches or anything. It genuinely looks like my skin.
Good option for natural looking, light-medium coverage.
For color help, my shade in MUFE HD Foundation is Sand, N125, and I'm NW25 in MAC Pro Longwear.

I really like this foundation although it is very pricey! I think you would be better off spending your money on a better foundation like Estee Lauder Double Wear. I have oily skin and I find that this gives me medium coverage and lasts throughout the day. I find that it is not too dewy nor too matte. I have very acne prone skin and this did not break me out. It is a good foundation but not necessarily one that you need in your collection.

I am an NC15/20 olive. Fair with strong yellow undertones and olive properties. Neutral.
This is the only match in any foundation that I've tried. I would repurchase on that basis of that alone.
Performance-wise, it's average. Nothing stays on my skin at all, and it does outlast a number of other foundations I've tried. So I give it a 3/5 for longevity, but I've never used a foundation that I've given anything higher to. So it's about as good as it gets for me anyway. Coverage is good, one pump does my whole face.
I like the dewy finish, despite generally being a matte girl. When it starts wearing off, I just look dewier and dewier until I blot, as opposed to everything separating and suddenly turning into an oil slick like many other foundations have for me. I apply it with a Real Techniques Angled Foundation brush and get a good finish, but I think a Beauty Blender might perform a bit better.
The reason this gets tipped into 5 lippies for me is for how well it photographs. A smooth, airbrush-like finish, with enough natural dewiness to NOT look oily, and to not look matte and cakey. It looks amazing in photographs, and I'm really impressed with it.
I wear it over MAC's matte gel. With that primer, I get almost twice as much wear before blotting as any other combination I've tried. Will happily repurchase.

BWW TV: Kerry Butler's 'Faith, Trust & Pixie Dust' Recording Session & Interview
Golden-voiced Kerry Butler - star of Broadway's XANADU has finished recording her debut solo album entitled "Faith, Trust & Pixie Dust" which will be released on PS Classics on May 13th. On May 15th, Kerry will be giving a special performance and signing CDs at Barnes & Noble at 66th & Broadway. In the meantime, BroadwayWorld presents this promotional video.
Under the supervision of music director and album producer Michael Kosarin, with new orchestrations by Broadway's best, including Tony Award-winner Michael Starobin (Assassins, Spelling Bee) and Larry Hochman (Monty Python's Spamalot), Faith, Trust & Pixie Dust CD is filled with Disney songs you know and love - and ones you've never heard before. Butler and music director Kosarin spent months exploring the Disney catalog, sifting through seventy years of material - from wartime standards to newer pop songs - making sure the material remained provocative, unexpected and eclectic even as the "message" stayed on track.
"Recording my CD has been so inspirational for me with so many of the songs having such great and inspiring messages.
One track in particular - "It's a Small World" leads into God Help the Outcasts - and it is one of my favorites. With over 30,000 children dying every day from problems that CAN be solved, I decided I wanted to donate a portion of the proceeds from the sale of "Faith, Trust & Pixie Dust" to World Vision.
World Vision (http://www.worldvision.org) is a highly rated and respectable charity that helps people all over the world struggling from global poverty and hunger. We witnessed their organization first hand when we (my husband and I) went to Ethiopia to pick up our daughter. They do so many wonderful things in dangerous areas of the world, like the Sudan. They help provide food and water where there is none. They assist with education, micro loans and emergency relief.
It really is a small world, and we can all make a difference and help out the people who need it most." -Kerry Butler, May 2008
Tommy Krasker, co-founder of PS Classics, continues, "She and Michael Kosarin dove into the Disney repertoire one more time, determined to keep it personal and intimate. They found a way 'in' to the material that really got to its emotional core, and fashioned the kind of deeply personal album Kerry was determined to create."
The following is the track listing for "Faith, Trust & Pixie Dust." For more information, and to hear a few clips from the album, click over to http://psclassics.com/cd_butler.html

I'm a secret nerd princess. Or a tomboy with a pink problem. Or a princess with a climbing problem. Mostly I've had my nose stuck in a book since the moment I could read.
I've traveled a metric elf ton, but successfully settled down long enough to pursue a Lit degree. I have four cats and one day I'm sure they're going to rip away their disguises to reveal they're actually Liliputians. I write when I'm not working or schooling or hounding the local library to request books from other counties for me. My bachelor's degree finishes up soon, which means? More stories for you!
Pull up a chair, I'll pour you a cup of coffee. Poke around and explore. Make yourself at home.
Here is the magical world where I hide in between the "pages" of a story, taking tea with Shakespeare, and dancing the electric boogaloo with Doctor Who. This space evolves into the future and discovers the past. There's also some poetry. I used to be a slam poet after all.
Welcome to the crazy train.

I don't have access to a grill or any comparable 'open flame' cooking. I generally try to imitate grilling with some combination of using my broiler and my Cuisinart 'griddler' but I'm not sure how to replicate the effect of "indirect heat" in this recipe. Would a foil tent do any good? What are your recommendations?

Saturday Job: Add a gradated box hedge
Use Box, otherwise known as Buxus sempervirens, to create a medium-height hedge featuring a gradation of colour, by planting foliage from dark to light. Typically the focus is on the floral aspect of a garden, but make sure you devote as much consideration you afford the flora elements, to the hedge, as once planted it is there for life, unlike some flowering species. So, push boundaries with your hedge, by choosing different shades to add visual interest for a thoroughly modern landscape.

Tally in key county in DesJarlais race delayed
Heather Grader, a 27-year-old preschool teacher from Murfreesboro, said she voted for DesJarlais because she voted straight Republican. She was not bothered by the allegations against the congressman because she saw them as part of political mudslinging.
She criticized both Stewart and DesJarlais for running negative campaigns. "I would say they both did it," she said.
DesJarlais has blamed "a disgruntled, defeated ex-congressman, a vindictive ex-wife, and a desperate Democratic candidate" for dredging up details from his past.
Among the remaining Republican members of the congressional delegation, freshman Rep. Diane Black of Gallatin faced no opposition after trouncing Lou Ann Zelenik in the Republican primary in August; Rep. Phil Roe of Johnson City defeated Democrat Alan Woodruff of Gray; Rep. John J. "Jimmy" Duncan won over Troy Goodale, both of Knoxville; Rep. Chuck Fleischmann of Chattanooga defeated Mary Headrick of Maynardville; Rep. Marsha Blackburn of Brentwood won over Credo Amouzouvik of Clarksville; and Stephen Fincher of Halls beat Timothy Dixon of Germantown.
Among the Democrats, Rep. Jim Cooper of Nashville beat Republican Brad Staats and Rep. Steve Cohen defeated George Flinn in Memphis.
Voters expressed strong interest in the presidential race even though Tennessee was expected to go strong for Romney.
In the Memphis suburb of Collierville, financial adviser Kevin Baltier, 44, said he voted for Romney because he believed the Republican's tax plan and economic strategy would spur investment in the United States and help the overall economy. He praised Ryan's knowledge of budget issues and ability to work with fellow members of Congress.
The married father of two boys also said Obama's campaign failed to reach him.
"This class envy that the president has created to get re-elected, I don't know whether he believes it or not, but he certainly has used it as a populist message," he said.
In Knoxville, Micki Fox said she has known who she was voting for four years.
"Barack Obama in 2008, and I have never wavered," said Fox, an administrator at the University of Tennessee College of Law.

Former Goldman Sachs Chief Economist and current President of the New York Federal Reserve, William Dudley, is preparing to once again speak on Wall Street's corrupt culture. He's not going to do anything about it, but he does love to talk (and talk and talk) about how Wall Street's culture of corruption is creating instability and distrust in the financial markets.
Dudley's latest critique of Wall Street's culture will come today before a Senate Banking subcommittee, right on the heels of revelations that a former New York Fed official who went to work for Goldman Sachs gained access to confidential information with help from someone at the New York Fed. Goldman Sachs announced yesterday they had fired the employee involved in the scandal. No action as been announced by the New York Fed so far.
But Goldman Sachs gaining access to confidential NY Fed information is just the beginning of Dudley's problems. A whistleblower named Carmen Segarra recently revealed that she recorded conversations where New York Fed officials helped Goldman Sachs executives avoid regulations and cover up crimes. Segarra was terminated by the New York Fed for asking too many questions despite that being her job as an examiner.
And if that was not enough, a recent report on Goldman Sachs' manipulation of the commodity markets partly points the finger at the New York Fed for failing to regulate Goldman.
A raft of settlements and criminal charges against big Wall Street firms reinforces a loss of public faith in the banking system that poses a threat to the country's financial stability, said William Dudley, president of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York. "This loss of trust is so severe that it has become a financial stability concern," Mr. Dudley said in remarks prepared for delivery in testimony before a subcommittee of the Senate Banking Committee on Friday.
Mr. Dudley's remarks are aimed at defending the central bank's role as a bank regulator after widespread accusations that supervisors had been too soft on or close to the investment giants they are charged with overseeing. "If bad behavior persists, it would not be unreasonable–and may even be inevitable–for one to conclude that large firms are too big and complex to manage effectively," said Mr. Dudley, a former partner at Goldman Sachs Co.
Speech time is over Bill. Either take the hammer to these folks or resign in shame. I'm sure Goldman can – once again – find a place for you.
The New York Federal Reserve bank has been exposed as captured by Wall Street. While some will undoubtedly snark same as it ever was, there is little doubt that the criminal behavior being engaged in will eventually lead to another crash. Nothing kills financial markets like fraud and the confusion and panic it sows when the bubble pops and there's no one left to lie to.
Will the American people accept TARP 2, will anyone? What happens when the serfs revolt against their criminal masters on Wall Street and Wall Street's puppets in Washington?

My distinguished profession, the media, works from a design, which is to highlight that which is new and interesting. Fair enough. Obama is new and interesting. As is the whole phenomenon of whooping and shouting and, occasionally, fainting when he comes center stage. Shades of Rudolph Valentino! I beg to report that Valentino wasn't running to succeed Calvin Coolidge as president. He was exhibiting himself. It sufficed. Does Obama's self-exhibition suffice? For some, yes. For the more deeply curious, the coming Republican-McCainite exhibition of Obama's economic ideas will be a lot more interesting to watch. Hard questions are gong to get asked, and soft answers ("I'm working for all people" and such) aren't going to fly.
Is this to point to the perfection of the John McCain economic program, whatever it might turn out to be? Not a bit. The Republicans have an obligation equivalent to Obama's -- to put forth a realistic program that won't bankrupt us or diminish our freedoms. In these early days of vote-wooing, specifics count less than the bouquets and male fragrances with which the suitor shows up at the front door. Once inside the house, it's different. We want to know some things about this guy. We want some answers! Answers he had better supply, with trademark fluency and some yet-untested transparency. ... Only I intuit already those answers may not be very good ones.

Ogre a Barrel: Angelina Says Kids Want Them Married Like Shrek and Fiona
By Kat Giantis
Back in May, Brad Pitt admitted his brood of six with Angelina Jolie had started asking about marriage, explaining, "It's meaning more and more to them."
Turns out the tots' matrimonial curiosity hasn't waned in the intervening months, thanks to the popularity of a certain crankypants green ogre.
"They have asked, yeah, because ... people get married in the movies ... the happily ever after," Angelina, 36, says during a sit-down with "Nightline" airing Monday. "Shrek and Fiona are married, you know?"
So, how do the world's most famous parents put their nearly seven-year relationship in terms Maddox, 10, Pax, 8, Zahara, 6, Shiloh, 5, and 3-year-old twins Vivienne and Knox can understand?
"We've explained to them that our commitment, when we decided to start a family, was the greatest commitment you could possibly have," responds Angie. "Once you have six children, you're committed."
Besides, Jolie isn't entirely sure whether the children care about a legally binding long-term contract or are just excited about the possibility of a short-term sugar rush (click on for the answer) ...
