Hello, and a merry end of 2012 to you all. It's been a grand year for video games and for those of us who choose to wile away our time playing them. Many of us have already celebrated the finest games of the last 12 months, so now it's time to dig a little deeper into 2012's catalog of hits and misses. Here's where we champion things like dancing, sex, boss machinations, terrible assassins, and great use of taxpayer money in video games.
Onward with haste.
(Polite heads up: I've done my best to avoid major spoilers, but as this is a retrospective look at the year gone by, some minor spoilers have tiptoed in. Use the shield of common sense. The final award should not be read by anyone who hasn't finished Dishonored.)
Worst dancer
Winner: Commander Shepherd (Mass Effect 3)
Video game animation has come a long way in a short time, but we're still unable to put the sexy into dancing. Despite that, 2012 played host to its fair share of gyrating twits. The gang from Far Cry 3, Marcelo from Max Payne 3, and the dancers from Hitman: Absolution all put forward solid cases, but Commander Shepherd had this one wrapped up way back in March.
Shepherd not only displayed the dance-floor swagger of a beached humpback whale, he also chose to do his dancing while the entire galaxy slipped into the inky abyss. Nice one, S-dog. Your embarrassing dad dance moves almost cost mankind and its best friends everything.
Best (or worst) line of dialogue
Winner: Chap in strip bar (Hitman: Absolution)
I swear to you — this is something I heard. I was playing the strip bar level in Hitman: Absolution, prowling through the drooling masses, when I heard a man cry out from the swarm:
"I'm going to wear your ass like a hat!"
I just don't have it in me to make that up.
Best use of taxpayer money
Winner: The Chicago Police Department (Hitman: Absolution)
Back in 2010, the Seacrest County Police Department bagged this award for using taxpayer money to fund the manufacture of Lamborghini patrol cars — a crime made worse by the fact that the SCPD didn't just use them to chase down crooks but also to create roadblocks, which the crooks naturally plowed through at 250 mph.
In 2011, the Steelport Police Department won for what was the equivalent of nuking Steelport from orbit each time the player did a little dance in front of an officer.
So it's only right that this year's prize goes to another incompetent police department. Hitman: Absolution's Chicago PD proved nothing if not dedicated to cleaning up the streets of Chicago. At one point midway through the game, roughly a dozen of Chicago's finest open fire on Agent 47. It's a perfectly executed maneuver bar one minor hiccup: the 84 civilians sprawled face down in the wet as a result of misplaced bullets. Oops.
Worst game
Winner: Ninja Gaiden 3
There aren't many developers who can say they've had easier jobs than Team Ninja. Under the guidance of Tomonobu Itagaki, the Japanese developer perfected its fighting formula with the first 3D Ninja Gaiden. For Ninja Gaiden 3, an Itagaki-less Team Ninja took the old formula round the back of the shed and gave it the 12-gauge treatment. In its place arrived a crude and unsatisfying combat system coupled with a grueling cinematic camera that ducked and dived like an 8-year-old recording a distant ship with a handycam while on a dinghy in a monsoon. Oh, and there was a bit where a little girl asked Ryu Hayabusa to be her daddy. Good grief.
How Team Ninja bungled Ninja Gaiden 3 is beyond my comprehension, but it was far and away the worst game I played in 2012.
Best (or worst) scene of a sexual nature
Winner: Lucius (game)
Six-year-old Lucius wanders unsuspecting into a bedroom to catch his uncle playing hide the sausage with the maid. Rather than stop and explain what happens when a man and a woman love each other very much, the two continue at it in full view of Lucius. It's game over for the player, but not before Lucius gets a good view of his uncle's throbbing joystick.
Most inane boss machination
Winner: Richard Attenborough (Ninja Gaiden 3)
Ninja Gaiden 3 was an inordinately stupid game with an inordinately stupid antagonist. Gaiden's mastermind villain had cloned dinosaurs on a jungle island, but unlike Richard Attenborough, Gaiden's baddie planned to deploy his dinos in a bid to end the world. Fair enough. On the scale of bad ideas, using dinosaurs to destroy Earth falls somewhere between using tissue paper as toilet roll and bringing a blow-up hammer to a knife fight. But by the Gaiden yardstick, it was a relatively spiceless scheme — at least, until the antagonist told Ryu Hayabusa he was also going to sell the dinosaurs to children as pets. Just take that in for a moment.
They say if you put a monkey in a room for all eternity, eventually it will write the complete works of Shakespeare. I say, if you put a monkey in a room for 15 minutes, you'll get the script to Ninja Gaiden 3 with 82 percent fewer MacGuffins.
Failed assassin
Winner: Agent 47 (Hitman: Absolution)
Runner-up: Ada Wong (Resident Evil 6)
With disguises no longer foolproof and levels roughly the size of a grass snake's anus, Agent 47 needed a new trick to help him skulk by his enemies. The answer? Taking cues from the Naughty Bear School of Stealth, Agent 47 placed his hand over his face. No, really. Probably the most remarkable thing about 47's newfangled trick was it worked every time (so long as 47's magic bar was full). Chicago's finest, hired goons, and even SWAT patrols were hoodwinked the moment Agent 47 — a bald numpty with an enormous scar etched into the back of his head — raised a hand over his face.
A special mention also goes to Resident Evil 6's Ada Wong. Ada's first mission saw her infiltrate a submarine and engage in some light stealth against Killzone's Helghan soldiers. One of the mission objectives was simply, "Don't draw attention to yourself." Thing is, with Ada's low-cut top and skin-tight leather trousers, not drawing attention proved incredibly tough.
Worst dogs
Winner: Hotline Miami
Runner-up: Mark of the Ninja
I lovingly dubbed Hotline Miami "Disco-Mordor" (for obvious reasons) when I reviewed it back in October. Cutthroat, ungenerous, and bloody excellent, Dennaton's top-down action hit was one of my favorites of the year. But its pooches … dear lord, its pooches. Miami's mutts had a lust for human flesh and a knack for rocketing out from just offscreen, making them the most bastard-annoying bastards of the year. Sure, you could don a mask and transform them into abiding canines, but then the pendulum swung the other way, and they were suddenly the victims of your callous hate. You couldn't win with Hotline Miami's dogs.
Best couple
Winner: Juliet & Nick (Lollipop Chainsaw)
Lollipop Chainsaw was as unloved as Goichi Suda's other recent (and probably better) game Shadows of the Damned. While the blow-by-blow bedlam was enjoyable enough on its own, the lead characters were what gave Lollipop Chainsaw its soul. The chitchat between Juliet and her bodiless boyfriend Nick was sharp as they bickered, flirted, and sliced through the carnage with humorous quips. The result? You got the sense you were watching the drama of a genuine relationship amidst all the soaring limbs and gore geysers. Aww.
Bleakest game world
Winner: I Am Alive
Runner-ups: Day Z and Nintendo Land
I Am Alive is an early 2012 Xbox Live Arcade title that severed opinion in spectacular fashion. It may not have been the most polished game of the year, but Ubisoft sure did bleak with panache.
Haverton was a spiteful and uncaring place, painted in stark greys and home only to those robbed of their humanity. During one particularly memorable scene, two men hunched over a fire offered you a hunk of meat. It was an alarmingly selfless gesture from characters caught in a world that had, until that point, offered only sadists, a child, and the dead. If you snooped around a little, though, you soon found cages with human skulls inside them. Haverton was powerful in its wickedness and did a good job of papering over some of I Am Alive's more prominent flaws.
Wiliest assassin
Winner: Corvo Attano (Dishonored)
Runner-up: Mark (Mark of the Ninja)
It's been a bumper year for wily bastards in video games, such as Far Cry 3's Jason Something, Dishonored's Corvo Attano, and Mark from, err, Mark of the Ninja — not to mention characters from the likes of Lone Survivor and Hotline Miami.
But it's Dishonored's disgraced bodyguard and murderer extraordinaire Corvo who scoops the award for King of the Wilies (mind the lone "l" there). Corvo's knack for teleporting gave him the upper hand over his peers, but even without that advantage, his deep well of tricks and murdering abilities (conjuring rats and slowing time to a standstill were two of the best) meant Corvo was well out in front of the pack. He was presumably loitering in the shadows somewhere like a steampunk Gary Glitter.
Best ego massage
Winner: Dishonored
Games are mostly about empowerment. In Dishonored, Corvo's cache of party tricks did a sensational job of conferring on the player a gross sense of power. But it was a moment of silence — a transient scene at the end of a level that featured almost no killing — that triggered that feeling better than any other.
It came after Corvo had weaseled his way into a fancy dress party disguised as himself (in what was basically the best Hitman level all year). Having hidden in plain sight and satisfied the mission objectives, Corvo left the party, but not before scrawling his name in the guest book.
It was a sensational "screw you" to all the guards who had made your getting there awkward. Your wits, not your trigger finger, had got the better of Dunwall's finest. A real moment of class.

Ionut Zamfir
Talking with User Interface & User Experience Designers
Hi! I'm Ionut Zamfir and I am a User Interface designer based in Bucharest, Romania. I started my career as a designer in 2007, when I was 22. I've worked for most of the major agencies in Bucharest and then in 2011 I switched to freelance. Since then, I've become a partner to Cibando (cibando.com) and managed to start my own agency in Milan.
When your friends or parents ask to you what job do yo do, how do you answer?
Since everybody has access to internet and has a smartphone, it's pretty simple to explain to someone what I'm doing for a living. I just tell them that I'm designing websites or interfaces for mobile apps and that's it ☺
What is your background, how did you train?
Well, I started my career as a designer back in 2007, when I was 22. I remember that I've got my hands on some Photoshop basic tutorials and gain a lot of interest. Then I started to practice and I remember that I was trying to recreate some of the awesome interfaces that were popular back then. One year later, I started to work as a full time designer for a local agency. I worked for most of the major agencies from Bucharest and in 2011 I got drafted as a Dribbble player. I switched to freelance at the end of the year and had the chance to work with a lot of amazing people and had really cool job offers from Facebook, Google, Podio, Yelp or Groupon.
The theme of this year of "From the Front 2013", Italian conference on the frontend, was "what the web can do to make this world a better place". How did the web improve your life (if it did)?
For me, the web completely change my life. Imagine that I got to showcase all my work on websites like Dribbble or Behance and got the chance to meet so many interesting people and collaborate with them on awesome projects.
On quora.com, time ago there was a long discussion in answer to the question "what is the most intuitive interface ever created?"; according to Felipe Rocha it is the nipple, in your opinion instead? (http://www.quora.com/What-are-the-most-intuitive-interfaces-ever-created)
I'm thinking the wheel and the door knob ☺
How is your work day type?
I'm working a lot and I go to sleep usually at really late hours. Usually, I'm up around 11am. Around 1PM I go to lunch at a cafe that's nearby my home or just go for a quick walk. I get back around 2-3PM and work till 8-9PM. Of course, there are some days when I have to work even till 5 in the morning. (image attached — 'desk.png')
What is the most stimulating and challenging project you have accomplished?
I've created recently an app that allows users to organise trips together and I've come up with an awesome and different way of navigation through the whole app. (image attached — 'user profile.png').
What is, among the existing digital services, the one you wanted to do?
I love my job. I absolutely love it. I can't think to something else that I would want to do.
Many designers commit the mistake of starting a project directly from Photoshop, is there a perfect design method? What is your approach to the creative process?
Yes. It is a perfect design method. If you follow some really simple steps, you will get to the perfect result. First, you gotta talk to the client and understand exactly the details about his project and what he's looking for. Then, one of the most important steps, is creating the wireframes. Based on the client specifications, I create the wireframes that will illustrate the flow of the app, the positioning of the elements, etc. After I'm done with the wireframes, I set a meeting with the client and present him these and a moodboard. Only after I make sure the client understands and agrees with the wireframes, I start putting things together in Photoshop.
The "design" is an important part of our analogic life. What is the role of the designer in our digital life?
I think the designer has a really important role in our digital life. The designer should create interfaces for applications that will simplify our life and make it easier, applications that people would enjoy and would be really easy to navigate/use.
Do you believe it is important for a designer to have a deep knowledge of matters as User Experience, Interaction Design, Product Design and Front-end development?
I think that, as a designer, you never have to stop learning things or improve your set of skills. I can't say that I have a deep knowledge of Front-end development, because I always worked with my brother, who's an amazing developer. But I know the basics of that and I know the limits of what you can or can't do.
In which way do you make a difference between User Interface and User Experience?
Obviously, User Experience it's much more complex than User Interface. User Experience has elements like research, creating tests, stats, product design, interaction design, usability, prototyping, copywriting, etc.
What is your relationship with the developers? There are people that have a relationship of continuous confrontation and other of deep friendship, where do you collocate with respect to this question?
I usually get along really well with developers. Almost all the time when I'm working on a new app, I ask the clients if we can involve the developers in the design discussions, because I want them to know what to expect. Like I've said before, I'm really used to work with developers, cause I always made an amazing team with my brother.
How do you think that your career and job will evolve in the next 5 years.
Well, I'm sure that I'll come up with an awesome idea for an app that will make people life more enjoyable, so I don't worry about the future (haha).
A famous quotation of David Carson (noted American graphic designer) says: "Graphic design will save the world right after rock and roll does.". Will the User Interface Design save the world, before, at the same time, or after the graphic design?
Since people care more about functionality then looks, I am tempted to say that User Interface has a more important role in saving the world than simple Graphic Design.
What do you think about Dribbble? Is it a good way to get a job? What's the best way to find a job as designer?
For me Dribbble means a lot. It actually changed my life and gave me the opportunity to work or meet so many awesome people. Regarding the jobs part, I can say that 90% of my clients are coming from Dribbble ☺
What book would you advice to a Junior Designer?
Smashing UX Design and Mobile Usability.
Always as far as advices: what tools for the design? What tools for the projects management?
For the design inspiration, I always use Dribbble, Behance Network and Pttrns.com. For designing things I use Photoshop and I recently started to learn Sketch (which is pretty awesome,btw).
For project management, I use Evernote and Basecamp.

Illustration by Jordin IsipI would dress like a dork. A collegiate dork to be exact. A denim-collar-down-jacket-waffle stomper, outdoorsy-but-clean-REI-kind of dork to be real exact. I would paste down my bleached-blond spikes into a forced-part comb-over. I was Sunny Jim come to life. I would stand on the corner of the major strip in this particular university area armed with my Mead binder full of $10 gram-bags and eighths. If a familiar car happened to be passing my corner, I would pinch my thumb and index finger together, lift my hand up to my mouth and proceed with the universal joint-toke mime. I wasnt supposed to be here. I was supposed to be in a high school classroom 60 miles north. One time I made $300 in three hours. That day, it was like working a McDonalds drive-thru window at lunch rush. Fuck school.
They would come down the pike in their parents immaculate, ultranew cars. The convertible Chrysler K-car and the Ford Taurus seemed to be the most common. They would roll down their windows; I would open my binder and present my product like an Amway display case. They would pick a bag or two or three, hand their tuition over to me with a smile, and be on their way. They always came back. It was too easy. Rich college kids in the big city with minimal life experience, maximum cash, a longing for the imagined street credibility they saw on MTV or Hill Street Blues and way, way too much time on their hands: It all meant money in my pocket. Ka-ching!

It was 1985. The Drug War was starting to really kick in. Crack was becoming the medias overused word of choice. But this war I was hearing so much about wasnt happening on my corner. Despite my disguise, it didnt take a physics expert, and certainly not a physics major i.e., my clientele to figure out what the fuck I was doing. I find it hard to believe that anybody who ever saw my narrow ass poke a binder in random car windows would ever come to the conclusion that I was pitching carpet samples. Yet today I do not have a felony criminal record. I doubt that any of my former clientele have criminal records. No, the Drug War was being waged in poor neighborhoods, where black and Latino people lived. But why the fuck would I have sold there? No one had any money, and their streets were crawling with cops. That just wouldve been bad business.

In an undertaking to capture the imagination of young and aspiring local musicians, the Seven Hills Symphony at UMass Medical School has sponsored a Concerto Competition for area students for the last three years. Winners receive a scholarship to fund further musical study, as well as an opportunity to perform at an upcoming concert. On Friday, Feb. 11, Seven Hills will present its annual Young Artists Concert and introduce this year's winning musicians.
Seohee Min took the top spot this year and will receive a scholarship to further her musical education. A native of South Korea, Min is a senior at St. Mark's School in Southboro and studies violin with James Buswell of the New England Conservatory. She will perform the first movement from Brahms' Violin Concerto. Runners up Katie Brvenik and Oleg Vaskevich will also perform. Brvenik, who is a student at E.O. Smith High School, Storrs, Conn., will perform the first movement of Lalo's Cello Concerto. Vaskevich, a senior at Wachusett Regional High School, will play the first movement of Weber's Clarinet Concerto No. 2.
In addition to these soloists, there will be a special performance by the Wachusett Regional High School Chamber Orchestra, led by Doug Miller. The program closes with the two orchestras blended together in a "side-by-side" performance (such that a youth and an adult from each orchestra are sitting together and share a stand) of selected movements from Prokofiev's Romeo and Juliet Suite.
The concert, which begins at 7:30 p.m., will take place at Wachusett Regional High School in Holden. Admission is $12 for adults and $10 for senior citizens; children under five and Wachusett Regional District students are admitted for free. Proceeds benefit the Seven Hills Symphony Scholarship Fund.
Seven Hills Symphony was founded in 2005, when MD/PhD student Joanna Chaurette expressed an interest in starting a chamber group. She reached out to musicians in the UMass Medical School community, and due to an overwhelming response, the proposed chamber group quickly became an orchestra. The group is dedicated to promoting a lifetime of artistic expression and friendship through music. For additional information about the concert and the orchestra, visit: http://www.shsymphony.org
Who: Seven Hills Symphony with soloists from the third annual Concerto Competition
What: Young Artists Concert
When: Friday, Feb. 11, 7:30 p.m.

Vocalist Miguel De Leon is an amiable throwback to the golden era of Brazilian music - the days of the Bossa Nova craze, now more than 40 years past. De Leon's understated, almost fragile, tenor voice floats effortlessly above pianist David Feldman's spare but soulful arrangements, and you cannot help but think of a lazy evening spent on a beach somewhere near Rio de Janiero.
Surprisingly, de Leon is a Mexican-American based in Chicago, who became interested in Brazilian music as a teenager via Sergio Mendes' classic pop-jazz recordings with Brazil 66. His infatuation deepened as he mastered Portuguese and made periodic pilgrimages to Brazil starting in the mid-80s. "Postcards from Rio", De Leon's second CD, demonstrates a deep understanding of Rio de Janeiro, its people and its music.
Unlike Mendes' polyglot Afro-Brazilian pop approach, "Postcards from Rio" is, for the most part, more in line with the classic samba-jazz and bossa-nova recordings of the 60s and early 70s. Acoustic instrumentation dominates throughout: mellow bass, piano, drums, and guitar occasionally give way to brief, jazzy, solos by Feldman, an unidentified reed player (most likely producer Leo Gandelman), and trombonist Serginho Trombone. Feldman's crafty arrangements have a lot of personality - his sly, witty interjections and stabs of overdubbed flutes and trombones are especially effective.
Despite de Leon's pleasant vocals and his backing band's high level of musicianship, a feeling of sameness prevails after four or five tracks. The instrumentation varies little, and every piece is taken at the same tempo. Another slight miscalculation is DE Leon's decision to sing in English as well as in Portuguese. Classic tunes such as "Corcovado", "Samba do Aviao", and "Garota de Impanema" simply do not need an English translation. De Leon also slips in a pair of contemporary Brazilian-themed soft-pop tunes by James Taylor and Richard Torrance which pale next to his interpretations of timeless classics by Jobim, de Moraes, and Caymmi. Fortunately, the latter comprise the vast majority of the CD.
Despite a few slight missteps, "Postcards from Rio" is refreshingly simple and direct in its approach throughout, and offers an honest and heartfelt tribute to the music and the people of Rio de Janeiro.

Great T-shirt well made and well printed.
This T-shirt is my mans new favourite. It's great quality and fits great!
I orderd the Boba Fett T shirt a Long time ago far far away in December and was very excited, about it. It arrived through my door the day before Star Wars force awakens was out so I had to wear it. It is very cool I spent ages looking at the way the mask of boba Fett was designed with words, and was pleased I got it, i recommend getting it if your a boba Fett fan and especially a Star Wars fan as it is amazing :)
Brilliant tshirt, different from other Star Wars tshirt. Has to be looked at carefully to see exactly what it is. Good quality shirt and came up large in size, which is unusual in these type of ranges. Very good price, feel I got good value for money. Fast delivery, overall very pleased and so is my hubby who is a huge Star Wars fan eagerly awaiting the release of the new film later this year!
I bought this on behalf of my son for Father's Day - both daddy and son were happy with the t-shirt. It's s good quality item and the design was fantastic - I would give it 5 stars- the only reason I gave it 3 stars was due to it being delivered very late - 3 days after Father's Day.
I am a collector of Star Wars t-shirts, I have that many now that I've started stealing wardrobe space off the wife and kids! Anyway this range of T-shirts, where classic characters are made up from key words connected to them, is a great fun design. This Boba Fett design is one of my favourites, it is a good quality, large sized print. The t-shirt itself is also nice quality and of accurate size description. The price is also very reasonable for the overall quality. Basically it's Star Wars, it's Boba Fett, it's great quality, just go ahead and BUY IT!!!!!
Was this helpful?
Love the whole range, but had to eventually settle on 3 designs for my son. He loves the design, fit and quality of this T-shirt.

I'm pretty neutral when it comes to this. The taste is..vegetation like, and I cant say it helps me sleep any better than store bought pre bagged chamomile. I like it better cold but most of the time I dont want to wait…maybe I will buy it again.

It's been a trying and often frustrating month for the Red Bulls and Mike Petke. The team endured its' longest winless streak since 2010, including two home defeats, and were losing players to international call-ups with tough opponents still to come. After three straight defeats, things could have gotten worse but they didn't. In Kansas City, Thierry Henry moved closer to setting the franchise all-time assist record when he provided Bradley Wright-Phillips with a well-placed through-ball to run onto and the English striker made no mistake. It was the Red Bulls' first point in nearly a month.
A draw over second-place Sporting KC was a step in the right direction but asking for more out of a squad that would also be without Henry, Dax McCarty and Jamison Olave due to the turf field conditions and a knee injury to McCarty, against a red-hot first-place New England squad on the road appeared to be a tall order. However, a team with three MLS rookies in their back four, including a teenager making his first league start, helped shut out a team who had scored 16 goals over their previous five games.
Goalkeeper Luis Robles summed the team's attitude post-game: "Losing three in a row you can start to point fingers at people, but that doesn't happen here. The guys are very positive, and everyone believes in each other. That's our belief. We knew we could get three points this week and we did."
Mike Petke echoed his star keeper's sentiments during this week's conference call, "The fact of the matter is that that was a performance [where] they stepped up. They absolutely took the opportunity and they worked hard and did some very good things out there to get the result. We all thought it was important to go into this break on a high note and we have."
Petke has not missed an opportunity to heap praise on his young players. They have been forced into action in their rookie seasons and performed admirably, especially against top MLS competition.
"It was huge for me, personally, and it was huge for them obviously and for the team. It's just been a couple of games for Chris Duvall and one game for Matt Miazga, but it's proven to be the right move for us. I was very proud of both of them [against New England]. They have great heads on their shoulders. They know that it was an opportunity that was given to them and they took full advantage of it."
Asked about the potential for more starts down the line, Petke replied "Now it's on them to keep going and to dedicate themselves to making it very difficult for me to make those decisions, whether to put them in or not."
What lies ahead for the team is the World Cup break: a MLS-wide two-week-plus reprieve. However, the fourth round of the U.S. Open Cup beckons this Saturday night and the Red Bulls have been drawn against local NASL side, the New York Cosmos. Cosmos head coach Giovanni Savarese, an ex-MetroStar and one of Mike Petke's former teammates, has claimed that the Cosmos "have nothing to lose". Petke was asked about the comments,
"I would agree with [Savarese] that the Cosmos have nothing to lose at all," Petke said before adding that he doesn't "have or feel any pressure at all". Asked whether the match means more to the Cosmos and the NASL, Petke replied, "Perhaps those are the right questions to be asking Giovanni and the Cosmos … I'm gonna make sure that my guys are up for it but, obviously, this is a huge, huge thing for the Cosmos and the NASL."
Asked about the team's preparations for this Saturday night's match-up, Petke claimed there would be no difference in planning for the Cosmos as they would for any MLS team:
"We're not scouting this game any more and certainly not any less than we would scout New England or Toronto or whoever we're gonna play. It's a game we might not repeat again. We want to win, we're preparing for it, so we treat it the same way."
Finally, the Red Bulls head coach was asked about Luis Robles' understudy Ryan Meara. Meara, the 31st overall pick in the 2012 MLS SuperDraft, has made 18 MLS starts and has played in two U.S. Open Cup matches with New York. Petke was asked about the possibility of Meara getting his first start of the year this weekend.
"100%. 100%. His lack of playing time has nothing to do with him as a player or how he's done in training. It obviously has to do with sitting behind, right now, one of the hottest, if not the hottest, goalkeepers in the league. Part of me feels terrible for Ryan because he is a phenomenal goalkeeper and he has such a future. But at this moment he's behind somebody who is doing extremely well. So, yes, for sure the Cosmos game is a great opportunity for him."
Petke added, "I'm sure he knows that his time is gonna come at some point."
That next chance may very well come at Shuart Stadium, home of the Cosmos, on Saturday night. With a win, the Red Bulls would advance to the fifth round that is scheduled to take place on June 24-25. That would force the Red Bulls to play two games over a three-day period for the second month in a row.
For now, though, Petke and his Red Bulls are focused on Saturday night and a much-needed break next week.

Our cover, timed to the 40the anniversary of Apollo 11, is a moving, resonant story about what happened to the men who walked on the moon by our own Jeff Kluger, co-author of Apollo 13. It's out of this world."
SECRETARY OF STATE CLINTON DELIVERS A MUSCULAR FIRST MAJOR ADDRESS — to CFR, in D.C. yesterday: "Just as no nation can meet these challenges alone, no challenge can be met without America. … We will remain clear-eyed about our purpose. Not everybody in the world wishes us well or shares our values and interests. Some will seek to undermine our efforts. … And to these foes and would-be foes, let me say: … You should never see America's willingness to talk as a sign of weakness to be exploited."

SPOTTED, by Amie Parnes: Secretary Clinton, walking through the West Wing yesterday afternoon without her cast. Asked how she is feeling, she told POLITICO, "Much better."
THE BIG IDEA —POLITICO's DAVID ROGERS -- " A generational shift: On July 20, 1965, Defense Secretary Robert McNamara warned President Lyndon Johnson that U.S. deaths in Vietnam could soon come at the rate of 500 a month, the equivalent of 6,000 a year. Ten days later, Johnson — still pursuing his Great Society dreams — signed a landmark Medicare-Medicaid bill to provide health care for the nation's elderly and poor. It's all ancient history in today's Washington, which has leapt ahead to the first president of the post-Vietnam generation. But McNamara's death last week was a reminder of this past, and there are lessons to be learned, if only to see how much the nation has changed — and, in some cases, lost. Here in another July, decades later, war and health care are again front and center for a new president, Barack Obama. …
"Always the community organizer, Obama must re-create the sense of shared sacrifice and common purpose that many Americans identify with the Great Depression and the Second World War. But that social contract was torn apart by Vietnam and its aftermath, the self-indulgence of the '80s. And the great question is whether Obama can sew the pieces back together at a time of real generational change in Washington and the nation."
TOP STORY — The health-reform battle led ALL THREE NETWORK NEWSES last night, vindicating the creative White House idea of giving one-on-ones to the three network physician-correspondents. The only price for the president was having to endure NBC's Dr. Nancy Snyderman asking: "Is the battle with the cigarettes going OK? I'd be remiss as a cancer surgeon not to ask you how you're doing." Obama, with a tight smile: "I'm doing quite well, thank you."
— OBAMA TO SNYDERMAN, on the cost of last week's foreign trip: "[W]hen I'm in the country, I am able to communicate a little more directly to the American people, and when I'm not, you know, those who want to defend the status quo are getting their message out more effectively. And I think, though, Congress, overall, has been making extraordinary progress."
— OBAMA IN THE ROSE GARDEN: "[I]t's time for us to buck up -- Congress, this administration, the entire federal government -- to be clear that we've got to get this done."
— FOR HISTORY — N.Y. Times lead story: "HEALTH CARE BILL PASSES FIRST TEST ON CAPITOL HILL … The Senate health committee on Wednesday approved legislation to remake the nation's health care system, becoming the first Congressional panel to do so this year."
— WHITE HOUSE HARDBALL — POLITICO's Jonathan Martin: "On the defensive over the economy and health care, the White House is shooting back with a double-barreled message for its critics and skeptics. To Republicans who say the stimulus isn't working: Back off. To moderate Democrats wary of health care reform: We're watching you. … The two different approaches — a fist to the nose and a gentle elbow nudge — reflect a White House that increasingly recognizes the political stakes at play in reviving the economy and passing health reform this year."
— "DEMOCRATIC ADS, TARGETING DEMOCRATS" — ABC's Jonathan Karl, leading "World News": "In an unprecedented move, the Democratic National Committee launched a national ad campaign today, targeting Senate DEMOCRATS who have expressed concerns about the president's health plan. [clip from OFA spot] One of the Democrats targeted found the ads laughable."
KARL, to Senate Budget Committee Chairman Kent Conrad (D-N.D.): "The Democratic National Committee is running ads in North Dakota targeting YOU."
CONRAD, chuckling: "You gotta love it! [chuckles again] Is this a great world that we live in?"
— N.Y. Post cover, "SICK JOKE: New York's risk takers would pay 57 percent tax under ObamaCare …DEM HEALTH Rx A POI$ON PILL IN NY -- Terrifying 57 percent tax looms for biz, top earners," by Charles Hurt, et. al: "The top rate in New York City … would be 58.68 percent, the Washington-based Tax Foundation said in a report yesterday. … Asked if Obama supports the surtax on wealthiest Americans, … White House spokesman Robert Gibbs said only, "It's a process that we're watching."
— WSJ A6, "Democrats Turn Up the Heat on Insurance Industry," by Laura Meckler: "[T]he insurance industry is deeply unpopular with the public and Democrats … have made it a chief target. … [A]n industry official said its lobbyists have quietly agreed to a variety of new smaller fees."
— New York Times lead editorial, "A Strong Health Reform Bill … This is a bill worth fighting for. … The wealthy have benefited greatly from Bush-era tax cuts, and their incomes have risen disproportionately in recent years. It seems proper that they should contribute heavily to an effort that is vital to hard-pressed Americans and to the long-term health of the economy."
— Wall Street Journal lead editorial, "Big Pharma Gets Played: Congress repays business silence with price controls … [T]he drug lobby … [promised] $80 billion over the next decade … House Democrats declared last week that they aren't bound by [the] deal. … [Democrats'] negotiations … are intended to buy business silence. … Big Pharma and others have been played for suckers."
— SEBELIUS IN N.Y.: Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius joined Hearst executives and editors from Hearst media properties at Hearst Tower yesterday for an on-the-record luncheon on health care reform, food safety and the H1N1 virus among other topics. Secretary Sebelius enjoyed some of her lunch before she spoke and noted, "Usually these lunches are a great diet plan — sit down and get right back up."
When asked if she thought it was achievable to have a national health care plan that costs less than the 18 percent of the GDP (the current amount spent on health care), she said, "It is not only achievable, but essential." She commented on the Congressional Budget Office's unwillingness to score prevention and wellness programs when looking at health care costs, "Apparently the CBO talks to God and no one else. And I don't think She talks back."

Sargeant Reynolds Community College highlighting Recovery Act progress creating and saving jobs, supporting small businesses and boosting the local economy."
— FORMER TREASURY SECRETARY HANK PAULSON ON CAPITOL HILL TODAY — Opening Statement of Ranking Member Darrell Issa (R-Calif.), House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform: "As the Congress examines the Obama Administration's plans and proposals to expand government regulatory power and bureaucracy across the financial sector, it is important that the debate is informed by the lessons we are learning about the federal government's abuses of power in response to the current crisis."
— "SOTOMAYOR HITS PRO-BUSINESS NOTE as Senate Testimony Nears End," by Bloomberg's Greg Stohr and William McQuillen: "'In business, the predictability of law may be the most necessary,' Sotomayor said, pointing to her eight years representing companies in private practice. Business lawyers said the comments signaled an appreciation of the practical needs of companies, bolstering her 17-year record as a trial and appellate judge. Sotomayor has often been receptive to business arguments, as when she voted in 2006 to block class-action status for a suit that accused banks of rigging initial public offerings. … The high court in recent years decided a number of top business cases by a single vote, including fights over shareholder rights, antitrust law, product-liability suits and punitive damages. … She completed her second full day of testimony yesterday and will likely conclude today. Sotomayor hasn't always sided with companies."
— WashPost A1, "CIA Assassin Program Was Nearing New Phase: Panetta Pulled Plug After Training Was Proposed," by Joby Warrick: "CIA officials were proposing to activate a plan to train anti-terrorist assassination teams overseas when agency managers brought the secret program to the attention of CIA Director Leon Panetta last month, according to two U.S. officials familiar with the matter." Current DNI Blair says CIA did not violate the law by not briefing on the plans to kill al Qaeda operatives. Panetta became aware of program because CIA officials recommended he activate the program.
— A FORMER BUSH ADMINISTRATION OFFICIAL: "So, CIA operatives go to Panetta with a plan to activate a program to kill al Qaeda. Instead, he kills the program, runs to the Hill, and makes sure to trash Cheney in the process."
— JOHN YOO, Wall Street Journal op-ed on "Why We Endorsed Warrantless Wiretaps: The inspectors general report ignores history and plays politics with the law": "In FISA, President Bush and his advisers faced an obsolete law not written with live war with an international terrorist organization in mind. It was to meet such emergency circumstances that the Founders designed the presidency. … Legislatures are too slow and their members too numerous to respond effectively to unforeseen situations. ... Our Constitution created a presidency whose function is to protect the nation from attack. Gathering intelligence -- including intercepting enemy communications -- has long been a key aspect of war. Our military and intelligence agencies cannot attack or defend the nation unless they know where to aim." Mr. Yoo is a law professor at the University of California, Berkeley. He was an official in the Justice Department from 2001-03 and is a visiting scholar at the American Enterprise Institute.
— EXCLUSIVE — OUT TODAY — UPS FIGHTING FEDEX — Former U.S. Sen. Malcolm Wallop (R-Wyo.), Grover Norquist, David Keene and National Taxpayers Union President Duane Parde are among the leaders who have signed a pro-UPS letter to FexEx CEO Fred Smith: "Via USPS Express Mail … Dear Mr. Smith: We've been on record as opposing federal bailouts of failing businesses because they waste taxpayer money, reward businesses that are poorly run, skew the marketplace, and are well outside the proper role of our constitutionally limited government. So when FedEx claimed that UPS was seeking a government bailout, we were prepared to jump all over another wasteful government program. But after looking into FedEx's claims, we realized that FedEx was not telling the truth. UPS was not seeking any taxpayer funds — only regulatory reform that would insure equal treatment of both companies under our nation's labor laws. FedEx's campaign called ' Brown Bailout' is designed to capitalize on public sentiment that is angry that hundreds of billions of dollars have been wasted in the name of bailouts. But since UPS is not seeking even one dime of taxpayer money, the campaign is essentially a disinformation campaign and should be stopped. If FedEx wants to oppose the regulatory reform being sought by UPS, that is fine. … We believe FedEx should take down the deceitful website and stop misleading the public and legislators. To paraphrase the words of Ronald Reagan, 'Mr. Smith, tear down this website.'"
— WHAT FEDEX SAYS: "Welcome to BrownBailout.com, the site that asks (and answers) the question: Why is mega-corporation UPS trying to use its political clout to get a bailout from the U.S. Congress, leaving you to pay the tab?"
— THE BACKSTORY — Memphis Commercial Appeal, May 22: "The House passed the $70 billion FAA Reauthorization Act on Thursday with a provision that FedEx adamantly opposes — making it easier for FedEx Express drivers to be organized by the International Brotherhood of Teamsters. … It permits drivers for FedEx Express to organize into local collective bargaining units under provisions of the National Labor Relations Act and do away with the requirement that they hold national elections under the terms of the Railway Labor Act. Rival UPS's drivers are already represented by the Teamsters, which hailed the measure's passage.
BUSINESS BURST — AP: "The number of U.S. households on the verge of losing their homes soared by nearly 15 percent in the first half of the year as more people lost their jobs and were unable to pay their monthly mortgage bills. … JPMorgan Chase & Co. posted a 36 percent jump in second-quarter profit Thursday, easily surpassing Wall Street expectations as strength in its core consumer and investment banking businesses offset a jump in credit losses."
SPORTS BLINK — AP — Major League Baseball All-Star Game ratings: "Fox says the American League's 4-3 win Tuesday night earned an 8.9 fast national rating and 15 share. That's down 4 percent from the 9.3/16 for the first nine innings of the 15-inning marathon in 2008. Ratings were up 3 percent for the pregame show, which included President Barack Obama throwing out the first pitch."
DESSERT — LOS ANGELES (AP) — "Breaking Bad," ''Damages," ''Lost" and "Mad Men" are among Emmy nominees for best drama. "Entourage," ''Family Guy" and "30 Rock" are among the Emmy nominees for best comedy.
SECONDS — SLATE on the new "'Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince': Kind of like 90210 with owls," by Dana Stevens: "[T]he last book in the series, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, has been split into two upcoming movies … The Half-Blood Prince feels like the dreariest Harry Potter movie since The Chamber of Secrets in 2002—or maybe it's just that any film franchise designed to span an entire decade feels dreary by default. At two hours and 33 minutes, this latest installment, directed by David Yates (who helmed the last film and who has bravely signed on for the duration of the franchise), gives the viewer ample downtime to reflect on the true wizardry the Potter movies have to offer. … [A]round the midpoint, … you begin to recognize this episode's chief flaw: the absence of a juicy villain. Ralph Fiennes' spectral Lord Voldemort appears only as a cloud formation looming over the proceedings; his evil designs on Harry are carried out mainly by the remarkably dull Draco Malfoy (Tom Felton), a fellow student who, having defected to the dark side, sulks around the halls of Hogwarts like a high-school Goth fresh from a spree at Hot Topic. Helena Bonham Carter pops up at intervals as the far scarier Bellatrix Lestrange, but her screen time is so limited that her character remains frustratingly vague. For example, why is she pregnant the first time we see her but not thereafter? … In a rather drab cliffhanger of an ending, Harry and his buddies gather on a parapet to swear a solemn oath that, as God is their witness, there will be two sequels. But in spite of the plodding tone of this antepenultimate chapter, there's something touching about the Harry Potter series' loyal love for its source material. Whatever happens in the final faceoff between Harry and Voldemort, when the last movie comes out in the summer of 2011, a beautiful and intricate world will have come to an end."
****** A message from the Peter G. Peterson Foundation: Washington is debating tax reform. There's talk of substantial tax cuts that will give trillions of dollars back to American taxpayers. That sounds great. But if these tax cuts aren't paid for, future generations will be stuck with the bill. Congress is right to pursue tax reform - the code is outdated, complex and unfair. Tax reform done right should be permanent, because businesses and individuals need certainty to plan and invest. It should be based on realistic, independent projections and assumptions about the effect on our economy and our fiscal outlook. And it should enjoy bipartisan support, so that it's durable over time. Lawmakers should use the valuable opportunity presented by tax reform both to improve our fiscal outlook and strengthen the economy at the same time. Congress, tax reform should grow the economy. Not the debt. Learn more at www.pgpf.org/tax-reform. ******

Classic White Bread
Be the first to Write a Review
Prep Time: 25 minutes
Cook Time: 60 minutes
Servings: 8
To make the bread in a round La Cloche baker, double the recipe for both the sponge and the dough. Bake the loaf for an additional 20 to 30 minutes after removing the lid.
- 177
For the sponge:
- 1/4 tsp. active dry yeast
- 3/4 cup water
- 1 1/4 cups bread flour
For the dough:
- 1 package (about 1 Tbs.) active dry yeast
- 1 cup plus 2 Tbs. water
- 2 1/2 cups bread flour
- 2 tsp. salt
Directions:Have all the ingredients at room temperature.
To make the sponge, in a bowl, dissolve the yeast in the water. Add the flour and stir until blended. Let the mixture stand at room temperature until the sponge rises and crests, 8 to 10 hours. The surface will be bubbly and shiny.
To make the dough, in a bowl, dissolve the yeast in 1/2 cup of the water. Add the remaining 1/2 cup plus 2 Tbs. water to the sponge and stir to loosen.
In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the dough hook attachment, combine the flour, sponge, yeast and salt. Knead on medium speed for 4 minutes. Increase the speed to high and continue kneading until the dough pulls away easily from the sides of the bowl, but is still soft and a little sticky, about 4 minutes more.
Transfer the dough to a lightly oiled bowl, cover and let rise until doubled in size, about 1 hour. Transfer the dough to a floured surface and, using a pastry scraper and floured hands, gently shape and fold the dough, without punching down, until smooth and return to the bowl. Repeat, letting the dough rise until doubled, about 45 minutes.
Position a rack in the center of an oven and preheat to 500ºF.
Transfer the dough to a generously floured rectangular baker. Cover with the lid and let rise until doubled in size, about 1 hour. Reduce the heat to 450ºF. Bake for 45 minutes. Remove the lid and continue baking until the crust is browned and the loaf sounds hollow when tapped, about 15 minutes more.

NEW YORK — Avery Johnson was fired Thursday as coach of the Brooklyn Nets, who have fallen to .500 in their season of new surroundings and elevated expectations.
After a strong start to their first season in Brooklyn, the Nets have lost 10 of 13 games to fall well behind the first-place New York Knicks, the team they so badly want to compete with in their new home.
But after beating the Knicks in their first meeting Nov. 26, probably the high point of Johnson's tenure, the Nets went 5-10 and frustrations have been mounting.
The Nets were embarrassed by Boston on national TV on Christmas, then were routed by Milwaukee 108-93 on Wednesday night for their fifth loss in six games.
Star guard Deron Williams recently complained about Johnson's offense, and Nets CEO Brett Yormark took to Twitter after the loss to Celtics to voice his displeasure with the performance.
Nets fans deserved better today. The entire organization needs to work harder to find the solution. We will get there.— Brett Yormark (@brettyormark) December 25, 2012
This is not the first time Williams has struggled with his head coach. He has been widely blamed for the sudden retirement of former Utah Jazz coach Jerry Sloan and the subsequent mid-season trade that sent him to Brooklyn in exchange for Derrick Favors and Devin Harris. Harris was part of an offseason trade last summer that sent him to Atlanta and brought former Clippers guard Mo Williams to Utah.
General manager Billy King announced the dismissal Thursday without saying who will be interim coach. The Nets next play at home Friday against Charlotte.4 comments on this story
Brooklyn started the season 11-4, winning five in a row to end November, when Johnson was Eastern Conference coach of the month. But he couldn't do anything to stop this slump, one the Nets never anticipated after a summer spending spree they believed would take them toward the top of their conference.
Johnson has been the Nets' coach for a little more than two seasons. He went 60-116 with the Nets, who moved from New Jersey to Brooklyn to start the 2012-13 season. Johnson coached the Dallas Mavericks to an appearance in the NBA Finals in 2006.
This is the NBA's second coaching change this season following the dismissal of Mike Brown by the Los Angeles Lakers.

Renault Clio RS 200: full details
What you're looking at above is a turbocharged, dual-clutch gearbox equipped Renaultsport Clio; a sentence you, or indeed we, never thought we'd utter.
But, these are the times we live in, so welcome everybody, to the brand new Renault Clio Renaultsport 200 Turbo. Yes, it's the new version of one of TG's very favourite little hot hatches.
Of course, we gave you a sneak peek of this Sunny Delight last year when it was previewed at the Paris Motor Show. Renault has very kindly released all the information on the upcoming hot hatch, which goes on sale later this year.
See new pics of the Renault Clio RS 200 Turbo
So, gone is the 2.0-litre naturally aspirated unit of old, and in comes a 1.6-litre turbocharged four-pot petrol engine developing 200bhp and 177lb ft of torque. That's 18 more torques than before, and helps propel the new Clio RS from 0-62mph in 6.7 seconds, and on to a top speed of 143mph. That's plenty fast in something as big as a shoe.
We're assured however, that "in less extreme circumstances", the Clio can be driven in a "docile manner", even achieving a claimed 44.8mpg and emitting 144g/km of CO2. We do not understand "less extreme" here at Top Gear, but there are three available engine modes: 'normal', 'sport' and 'race', and some of this engine note is piped into the cabin too. Interestingly, Renault footnotes this engine as "a preview of the configuration that will become mandatory in F1 from 2014…"
It's underneath however, where the Clio RS simply must shine: the last one threatened an all-out assault on our fizz gland. So Renaultsport engineers wanted minimal body roll, "huge" straight-line and cornering ability, great steering and a comfortable ride. As such, it gets a 'pseudo' MacPherson strut layout up front with a larger damper (better for the compromise between comfort and body roll, apparently), along with a thicker rear anti-roll bar 10 per cent stiffer than the old Clio RS's.
There's also a secondary damper within the main damper that has been honed in rallying, which helps to absorb poor surfaces, and aids "progressive handling" during 'brisk' driving. It also gets an electronic differential (no mechanical diff here) that limits understeer by braking whichever front wheel has lost the most grip. And brake it will: monster 320mm discs sit up front.
For proper, driving-gloved wheelsmiths, there's the option of the Cup chassis: 3mm lower than the standard RS, 15 per cent stiffer and with an even quicker steering rack.
If you can tear yourself away from staring at the hairpin you've just blatted (or indeed, while you're sitting in a hedge waiting for the AA), take time to admire Renault's new RS Monitor 2.0, which gives you lots of interesting and informative telemetry trivia with which to bore your friends with. Stuff like performance data, G force, torque and power curves, temperatures, pressures, settings and even a service indicator. Think of the friends you'll make!
So, there you have it. Prices will be announced before the month ends, and you'll be able to order it from April. We'll reserve judgement until we've driven it, but does the idea of a turbocharged Clio RS with a dual-clutch automatic gearbox make you jump with glee or cower in terror?

Dental forceps, Europe, 1601-1850
Dental forceps used for tooth pulling have been around for centuries. This example (one the right) is very crudely constructed and was probably made by a blacksmith. Tooth pulling was carried out by a range of people including barber-surgeons and travelling practitioners and was the only remedy for diseased teeth. Dentistry did not become a regulated and licensed profession until the late 1800s. The forceps are shown here with a pair of crow's bill forceps (A86892).

Name: Scott Eckard
Home Resort: Magic Mountain
Sponsors: Ride, Northwave, Drake, Dragon, Wave Warriors Board Shop
Age: Young enough to go out with your daughter, but old enough to know better.
Thanks Yous: Mom and Dad, my sponsors, Klaw, Jason Murray, Jerome, Lael, Banana, Magatha, Kathy, and all the friends who have ever helped me out of a jam.
Dave Norehad: What kind of kid were you?
Scott Eckard: I was born in Oregon, but grew up mostly in Roseville, Califronia. I skateboarded and BMXed. Pretty much just a suburban kid, cement sidewalks, and the streetlights came on at dark. I wasn't really a troublemaker or anything.
Have you ever been arrested?
Actually, yeah. When I was little I used to play baseball and one day our coach didn't show up for practice. There was an abondoned school across the street and we decided to practice our skills by throwing dirt clods and seeing who could break the most windows. All of a sudden a cop car came around the corner and we all ran for the fence. Almost the whole team got caught and we had to line up on the curb. Later, my parents got a letter in the mail from the police and they were bummed.
Where did you first learn to snowboard?
It was at Boreal. My friend's dad showed me how to snowboard. My first run I went straight down the hill and thought, "This is easy." His dad was like, "Okay, now try turning."
What's the worst job you ever had?
Roofing houses. It's pretty sketchy, being like 45 feet off the ground and nothing but slippery wood to walk on. It's not hard to slide to your doom.
Are you a dog or cat person?
I'm probably more of a dog.
A dirty dawg?
Naw, a hot dog or maybe a corn dog.

There were days when I use to post back to back MAC REVIEWS and trust me it was so annoying for some readers and then suddenly I stopped and shifted my focus to different brands, it was breath of fresh air for me and for lot of you, this is what I think. Although , if you look closely in my stash you will realise , I haven't reviewed half of the stuff and hence I guess it is high time to get back to reviewing MAC on daily basis , or if not that much , 3 – 4 times a week , even if not reviewing , using / incorporating them in looks regularly .
Kick starting the week, I will be doing PRO STUFF reviews first and then will compile one post for easy reference, I hope you find this helpful?
I was in MAC PRO STORE last week and realized most of the famous stuff was out of stock, how I wish I could grab all the pro stuff but now am little more wise and pick things with so much care. IF not all , I highly recommend you to pick MAC PRO BLUSHES, chuck the one you have from permanent range … the pro blushes are superb and gorgeous in every possible way. You have already read my reviews for DEVIL and SALSAROSE Blush and now here is another PRO BLUSH – BURNT PEPPER.
Burnt Pepper is described as Warm Rich Terracotta with matte finish; CHECKOUT the closest dupe of this blush HERE but with different finish. Burnt pepper as the description says is rusty reddish peachy brown shade with warm tones to it , absolutely fabulous to look at and as it is matte it is great for all skin types .
As all pro blushes, this one is also super soft and gorgeously pigmented, you really need to pay a lot of attention while applying this, and I highly recommend FAN BRUSH like this for all PRO BLUSH. They are not forgiving and hence just touch the brush and tap off excess on your arm or else you will end up with messy patch on your face.
On scale of 1 – 10, I would give this same Puurfectttttt 10 ( all PRO BLUSHES are bang on 10 on 10 ) – they are great and will work wonderfully on our warm skin tone, you really don't need 42598045789745 blushes but all PRO BLUSHES are must have. They are pocket friendly, long wearing, perfect balance of colour, super soft creamy texture which is easy to blend.
I have posted a PREVIEW of this HERE long back and HERE as well .
And this is how the blush looks on my NC 40 skin tone , I have KIEHL's BB cream in NATURAL on my face with MAC Select cover up concealer in NC 42 : You have seen me in this blush HERE as well but along with BRONZER
I hope you find the review helpful ?

SAVANNAH - Savannah-Chatham police officer Antonio Franklin Taharka was indicted Wednesday on a voluntary-manslaughter charge stemming from a May shooting.
The Chatham County grand jury decided Taharka, 33, shot Anthony Smashum on May 30 while the victim was resisting arrest.
The same grand jurors rejected a more serious felony-murder charge that would have accused Taharka of killing Smashum during an aggravated assault.
A felony-murder conviction carries a mandatory life prison term. Voluntary manslaughter carries a maximum 20 years in prison.
Taharka, an eight-year veteran of the force, shot Smashum, 41, twice with his service weapon during a foot chase.
The shooting occurred after a brief scuffle with Taharka as he and two other officers chased the victim, Detective Keith Dennis testified at a bond hearing.
Police said Smashum attempted to escape into a yard of a private home and climbed a fence in the 1100 block of East 37th Lane before he was shot.

Product Documents
Properly Installing Your Mattress and Box Spring:
Installation Only Takes a Few Easy Steps:
• Installation should be done with a partner - Installing alone can stress the zipper end stops on each side.
• Starting at the head of the bed, unzip the encasement and gather the fabric to locate the bottom two end corners.
• Together with a partner, lift each side of the end of the mattress and rest it on your knee.
• Align and apply the end corners first to the end of the mattress on each side.
• Carefully slide the encasement, inch by inch, down the length of the mattress, avoiding stress on the zipper end stop.
• Align the corners of the cover with the corners of the mattress.
• Zip the cover all around the mattress and lock the "Zipper with the Hook".
• Repeat these instructions for the box spring encasement (or you may lift the box spring to stand on its end and the encasement may be pulled down the length of the box spring).
Properly Measuring Your Mattress
It is important to properly measure your mattress and box spring. Mattress encasements are not returnable. Please use the following guidelines to measure correctly.
Determine the Depth of the Mattress and Box Spring
• Using a tape measure, determine the height, in inches, of the mattress.
• To measure the height of the mattress, measure from the bottom,
where it rests on the box spring, to the top of the mattress including any pillow top.
• Repeat for the box spring.
Determine the Size of the Mattress and Box Spring
Determine the length
• Measure the length, in inches, from the head of the mattress to the
foot of the mattress.
• Repeat for the box spring.
Determine the width
• Measure the width, in inches, of the mattress from side to side.
• Repeat for the box spring.
King box springs come in 1 complete piece or 2 long twin pieces. Please check your box spring before ordering.
Care Instructions:
Mattress Safe products are lightweight and as easy to launder as your sheets. For quick clean ups between washings, lightly vacuum or wipe the surface with a damp cloth. To launder, simply wash and dry in moderate temperature. Do not use bleach. Our protectors dry quickly (approximately 15 minutes in most dryers).

QMattress Safe Superior Total Mattress Encasement Full Plus. What does the 16-22" mean?
Is the 16-22" the mattress depth or is it designed to cover an 11" mattress and a 9" boxspring together?
AThe range you see after a mattress size is not referencing the mattress and box spring together. You should never use one encasement for both, always the separate ones designed for each. The range is for mattresses that vary in height. While most people have a standard mattress that is anywhere in height between 8 and 13 inches, some have pillow top mattresses or other specialty ones that can be very thick and often people will put other egg crates and items on top of the mattress for extra softness or support. The 16-22 will stretch up to 22 inches in height to accommodate the larger beds.

Holiday Facebook scam leaves dozens of children disappointed
PHOENIX (KSAZ) - Dozens of children in need were scammed out of holiday cheer this Christmas.
A Facebook site where families could sign up to receive gifts from sponsors was the victim of a "catfish."
The Facebook group is supporting more than 300 children this year, helping them find sponsors. About 50 of those children were expecting to get gifts from one generous person, until their parents discovered the person who was set to buy them was a fake.
Leann Sadlon was looking forward to getting gifts for her daughter Mari this Christmas. She was registered on the Facebook page Tender Hearts Christmas Angels Arizona. The organization links up families who can afford gifts with sponsors. Sadlon's sponsor was allegedly a woman by the name of Audreyanna Rodriguez. She was set to drop off gifts Saturday at 10:00 a.m.
"We waited and waited and I went on the computer and messaged her and asked her what was going on, are you still going to be able to come and it said that she saw it, but I got no reply," said Sadlon.
This was the same scenario for dozens of other families.
According to the group's founder, Christina Avina, whoever was identifying themselves as Rodriguez was in contact with her for months and agreed to sponsor 50 children -- and even posted pictures of a loaded truck filled with toys.
"I just feel bad for the children.. now we have a bunch of children that we don't know what's going to happen yet," said Avina.
After trying to reach the person all day Saturday, there was no response and the page had been deleted.
We caught up with the real Audreyanna Rodriguez, who says she's received harsh backlash on her personal Facebook page. She insists she's not behind the scandal and says it was an old Facebook account of hers being used.
"I tried to deactivate it several times and I mean people have gone in there and they've changed everything so I can't even get into it, I can't do anything," she said.
Rodriguez says she would never do anything like this and she, like the children, is a victim.
"I know how it is. I grew up homeless as a kid, I know what it's like to not have anything to open on Christmas. I would never do that."
Rodriguez says she will be filing a police report and she already has reached out to Facebook to report the problem.
The Facebook group is having a donation drive to make up for the lost gifts. You can drop off gifts to Pat's Precision Auto at 6386 W. Bell Road in Glendale from 8:00 a.m. through 6:00 p.m. until December 23rd.
