In series:OECD Public Governance Reviewsview more titles
Published on November 12, 2012
Over the past decade the Federal Government of Brazil has undertaken a series of reforms of its public sector. Enhancing public governance is a key element in the country's political reform agenda. They aim at making government more cost-effective, improving accountability and preventing corruption.
Highlights of the report
The OECD Integrity Review of Brazil focuses on Brazilian action in four key areas: promoting transparency and citizen engagement, implementing risk-based internal control systems, embedding high standards of conduct among public officials and enhancing integrity in public procurement.
The review assesses the implementation and coherence of instruments, processes and structures to safeguard integrity within Brazil's federal public administration.
Looking ahead, the OECD says that Brazil should:
Three case studies – on Brazil's federal tax administration, on the Family Grant conditional cash transfer programme, and on the National STD/AIDS Programmes – highlight significant differences in the implementation of integrity measures within public organisations. The case studies show that integrity authorities should provide more practical "how to" guidance and tools to improve performance in individual public organisations, parallel to government-wide initiatives.
The OECD Integrity Review of Brazil is the fourth in a series of Public Governance Reviews in Brazil. It follows earlier OECD reviews on Human Resources Management in Government, in 2010, on Regulatory Reform, in 2008, and on Public Budgeting, in 2003. The OECD is currently conducting a peer review of Brazil's Supreme Audit Institution (Tribunal de Contas da União), slated for publication in 2012.
The report supports Brazil's longstanding international anti-corruption commitments. Brazil has been a signatory to the OECD Convention on Combating Bribery of Foreign Public Officials in International Business Transactions since 2000. It was also one of the eight founding countries that launched the Open Government Partnership – a multilateral initiative to promote transparency, fight corruption and strengthen governance - in New York in September 2011.

LEGO® Remake was a website that went live in mid 2016 (and removed in early 2019). It was a joint project between The LEGO® Group and Rebrickable in an effort to help promote Alternate Build MOCs.
The intention with this site is to provide older children with creative inspiration to what alternative builds they can make with existing LEGO® sets. In order to provide the inspiration, we reached out to 7 amazing fan designers through Nathan Thom, the owner of Rebrickable. The Rebrickable website inspired the LEGO Remake project and over the past 6+ months we have been working closely with the adult fan designers to find a way to make alternative builds to existing LEGO products. Together with the fan designers, it is our aim to inspire children all over the world to keep building.The LEGO Group, July 2016
We have 7 designers who have taken part in the Remake project, based on their previous experience and expertise with Alternate Builds and LEGO Digital Designer models.
These MOCs are strictly Alternate Builds of specific sets that LEGO have chosen for this project. The designers have so far submitted 77 MOCs to the Remake site.

Gala on the Bridge always offers quite a feast; this year was no exception
If anyone left the 2013 Gala on the Bridge hungry, it was their own darn fault.
Food was good. Food was plentiful. And there was literally something for everyone.
Catered by Three Tomatoes, the menu had options for meat-eaters, vegetarians, vegans and those with gluten intolerance.
"I think we covered all the bases," remarked Karen Stein, an event planner for the Denver catering company.
Gala on the Bridge is a benefit for the Greenway Foundation and its work to maintain the South Platte River as a "haven of environmental and recreational pride" for Denver residents and visitors. It was chaired by Bar Chadwick, vice chair of the Greenway Foundation board. Mayor Michael Hancock was the honorary chair.
Here's the menu:
Passed Hors d'oeuvres
Lil'Pork Belly Sliders: miniature sandwiches of cumin- and brown sugar-cured pork belly glazed with Stranahans BBQ sauce and served on hand-made sesame buns.
Smoked Salmon Cones: miniature crisp cones filled with minced smoked salmon and topped with scallion cream, black topiko caviar and fresh dill.
Caponata Cups: eggplant relish nestled in roasted baby patty pan squash.
Salad Course
Late-summer harvest squash ribbons and fresh mozzarella tossed with mint vinaigrette accompanied by housemade sundried tomato focaccia.
Main Course
Slow-braised boneless short ribs of beef and button mushrooms. The short ribs were simmered in red wine and spices and served on a bed of horseradish mashed potatoes. The vegetarian option was a medley of grilled summer vegetables with the horseradish mashed potatoes.
Homemade truffles: crisp chocolate shell with creamy chocolate centers.
After Party
Action Zeppole Station: Italian donuts dusted with cinnamon sugar and topped with guest's choice of caramel sauce or dark chocolate sauce.

Diversification across multiple asset classes is one of the most effective risk management tools available to investors, according to Manning & Napier.
Investors can reduce the risk of declines in their portfolio by including multiple asset classes, like U.S. large cap stocks, small cap stocks, international stocks, short-term fixed income, intermediate-term bonds and long-term bonds.
Diversification risk-proofs your portfolio because when stocks are down, domestic bond prices may rise and international equities may not react at all.
"When a portfolio includes broad exposure to multiple asset classes, it is less exposed to extreme market fluctuations because declines in one asset class may not be experienced by other asset classes, and quite possibly may be offset by gains in another asset class," the report stated.
Manning & Napier gave a historical perspective on how different asset classes have reacted from 1984 to 2013. It is a sobering list, highlighting the historical declines that have taken place in all of the major asset classes except short-term fixed income.
U.S. Large Cap Stocks saw 34 negative quarters since 1984, while small cap stocks saw 45 negative quarters. International stocks experienced 38 negative quarters, while long-term bonds saw 44 negative quarters. Intermediate-term bonds had 36 negative quarters since 1984.
If a portfolio had two or more of the asset classes at the same time, it saw 63 negative quarters and if it had three or more of the asset classes at the same time, it saw 35 negative quarters.
All in all, the major asset classes identified have experienced negative returns in about 25% to 40% of the 120 calendar quarters covering the last 30 years. The more asset classes included in a portfolio, the lower the risk.
Portfolios that included four or more of the asset classes at the same time saw 9 negative quarters and those with five or more of the asset classes at one time saw 4 negative quarters. Those with six different asset classes didn't experience a negative quarter in 30 years, according to Manning & Napier.
"Clearly, broad diversification across multiple asset classes can significantly reduce the probability of an investor's portfolio experiencing dramatic declines," the report found. "While it may be tempting to try to identify the single asset class that is expected to perform the best over the near term and invest solely in that asset class, history has proven that asset class returns are unstable over time and the best performing asset class can turn into the worst performing asset class very quickly."

Three or four teams will be selected to further develop and perform their experiment on an ESA Microgravity Research Campaign that will take place in Bordeaux, France, during the autumn of 2009. Some of the other teams may be offered the opportunity to perform their microgravity research at ESA ground-based facilities.
"We are really glad to see that many young scientists in Europe have a strong interest in microgravity research," said Dr Ventura-Traveset. "This is already a success to us. We would like to congratulate the selected teams and wish them success in the next stage of selection. We would also like to thank all of the applicants for their participation and wish them good luck in their studies and future careers."

Thou Shalt Forget: Indigenous sovereignty, resistance and the production of cultural oblivion in Canada
November 15, 2019
What is 'cultural oblivion' and 'psychological colonialism', and how are they affecting the capacity of Indigenous Peoples in Canada to actively resist systematic and territorial oppression by the state?
Following a decade-long research project, this new book by Pierrot Ross-Tremblay examines the production of oblivion among his own community, the Essipiunnuat [or, 'People of the Brook Shells River'] and the relationship between a colonial imperative to forget. The book illustrates how the 'cultural oblivion' of vulnerable minority communities is a critical human rights issue but also asks us to reflect upon both the role of the state and the local elite in creating and warping our perception and understanding of history....

Contemporary development debates in Latin America are marked by the pursuit of economic growth, technological improvement and poverty reduction, and are overshadowed by growing concerns about the preservation of the environment and human rights. This collection's multidisciplinary perspective links local, national, regional and transnational levels of inquiry into the interaction of state and non-state actors involved in promoting or opposing natural resource development. Taking this approach allows the book to contemplate the complex panorama of competing visions, concepts and interests grounded in the mutual influences and interdependencies which shape the contemporary arena of social-environmental conflicts in the region.
December 1, 2015
In July 1994, the Rwandan Patriotic Front (RPF) set out to stabilise and secure Rwanda, a country decimated by genocide. This mandate was later extended to include the herculean task of promoting unity and reconciliation to a population torn apart by violence. More than two decades later, these goals appear to have been achieved. Beneath the veneer of reconciliation lies myriad programmes and legislation that do more than seek to unite the population - they keep the RPF in power. In Reconciling Rwanda: Unity, Nationality and State Control, Jennifer Melvin analyses the highly controversial RPF and its vision of reconciliation to determine who truly benefits from the construction of the new post-genocide Rwanda.

Blessings in a Backpack feeds hungry children | News
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- The number of hungry people in our community are real and their faces are everywhere, next door, even in our neighborhood schools.
"There are some that are hungry, not all," said K.K. Cherney.
Cherney is a teacher at Chets Creek Elementary School, a suburban neighborhood school, but even there hunger has found a place.
"Maybe it is because of the economy," said Cherney, "because of certain situations."
Whatever the reason, when 300 children are in the free lunch or reduced lunch program, there is a sign of a need.
Lauren Skipper, also a teacher at Chets Creek, learned of a national program called Blessings in a Backpack and now Skipper and Cherney are the energy behind the program at Chets Creek.
"This is one way that we can be sure that we can reach our clientele, our babies," said Cherney. "Making sure they're taking home some food on Friday."
Every weekend, they send home 106 kids with a backpack loaded with food for the weekend.
"A lot of people don't realize we have a need for it," said Skipper.
It costs $80 a year per child.
"We saw the need two years ago," Skipper said.
They rely on donations from friends, business partners, parents and local retailers to make sure that the kids who are staring at the ugly face of hunger don't go hungry.
"I've had handwritten notes from kids and handwritten notes from parents saying 'there's a need, can we please be on your list,'" said Skipper. "Our goal is to feed all of them."
Chets Creek has 1,280 students, 300 on reduced or free lunch, and a third of them are taking home a backpack of food every weekend.
"We have donations of a dollar, we have donations of five dollars. Every little bit helps. It costs two dollars a week to feed a child.
Blessings in a Backpack is national program that has seen a direct link between the program and better test scores, improved reading skills, positive behavior and increased attendance.
Second Harvest, which serves 17 counties, knows the reality of hunger. One of its staggering facts is that 117,000 children in its service area are "food insecure," meaning that they don't know where the next meal is coming from.

Another Ahmadi Muslim doctor brutally martyred in Karachi
20 Ahmadi Doctors have been killed since 1984 anti-Ahmadiyya laws
It is with great sadness and regret that the Ahmadiyya Muslim Jamaat hereby confirms that a well-known Ahmadi Muslim, Dr Najam al-Hasan (39) was martyred in a religiously motivated attack last night in Karachi, at approximately 12:15am local time.
Dr Najam al-Hasan was leaving his clinic and had just entered his car when he was shot dead by a group of assailants, who as of yet, remain unaccounted for. Upon hearing the noise of gunfire, his brother, whose medical store is adjacent to the clinic, rushed to the scene only to discover that the victim had already succumbed to his injuries.
Dr Najam al-Hasan was a peaceful and law abiding citizen and a much renowned pediatrician. He was also a serving assistant professor at Dow University of Health Sciences. Dr Najam al-Hasan is survived by his wife, and three young children.
Since the promulgation of the anti-Ahmadiyya specific Ordinance XX in 1984, 20 Ahmadi Doctors have been killed in sectarian attacks, 10 of whom were murdered in Sindh. Dr Najam al-Hasan becomes the second Ahmadi to be killed in Karachi this year because of his religion. Such violence results from the continuing hatred that is spread throughout Pakistan against the Ahmadiyya Muslim Jamaat.
Violent assaults against Ahmadis that are carried out in the name of religion are all too often premeditated and well organised. It is most unfortunate that certain parts of the media in Pakistan are being used to incite the sentiments of people against Ahmadis and inflame the already raging fire of sectarianism in the country.

text: The preseason girls basketball rankings are out and the Washington Demons are ranked in the top 10. In Class 3A, the Demons are 9th, Sioux City Bishop Heelan is number one, Waukon two, Central Clinton Dewitt third and Assumption fourth. The Demons were suppose to open their season tonight on the road against Williamsburg who is ranked 13th. However, with the Raiders making it to the volleyball state tournament the game was moved to December 10th. Demon Head Coach Phil Long says being ninth in the state will mean teams will be gunning for them and they'll have to prepare even harder. He says of course it's preseason ranking and it doesn't mean much but the ranking could benefit the Demons if they can go undefeated the fist part of the season and have a ranking when the pairings come out. The Demons will open their season a week from tonight at Ottumwa.

Emilio Pucci Fall 2013 Ready-to-Wear Collection
by Melissa Tunstall
Winter is drab enough. It's cold, dark, and generally depressing, yet black seems to always be the color of the season. Until now. Peter Dundas had had enough. In Emilio Pucci's fall 2013 ready-to-wear collection, blues, tans, and whites fluttered down the runway in a plethora of fabrics and textures soothing the malaise of winter.
The collection seemed heavily influenced by the Sixties with mini skirts, flowy shirts, extremely over-the-knee boots, and heavy bangs. A sense of opulence with furs and sequins seeped into the collection. The brocade print on the boots also helped with this opulence.
And of course there were prints. How could there not be? Differentiating from the bright prints that made Pucci Pucci, these kaleidoscope patterns were subtler in blues, blacks, grays, and whites.
Sheer fabrics from the spring 2013 collection also appeared in this collection—however in much smaller doses and much more wearable. Just hints were used in dresses and used in a way that seemed primmer than in last season's designs. Sweet polka dots probably had something to do with that. But, there was also the sexiness that Dundas has managed to include in his collections. Sheer fabric was used in micro minis hinting at even more skin. Oh, and micro minis were abundant. Legs have always been an asset that Pucci liked to showoff, and this collection is no different.
Veering back on course, Dundas managed to create a winter collection that didn't rely solely on black. Normally the thought of showing bare legs in winter can be terrifying, yet wrapping up his fuzzy fur coats with miniskirts and thigh high boots seems desirable and somehow highly plausible. One can dream, and thanks to Pucci's fall 2013 collection we're dreaming in color again.

The Rural Life... And What I Think About It...
Oh, the virtue of it all. The laundry is washed, dried, folded, and put away. I'm free from that drudgery for a few days until it multiplies again and must be dealt with. But at least, I have a washer and a dryer. I assure you that I'm grateful for them!
We bought our first washer and dryer shortly before Keely was born. A fellow who was moving sold us the set cheap. They were apartment-sized; the washer hooked up to the sink faucet, and the dryer could be plugged into an ordinary wall outlet. I did a lot of baby laundry with them (and used a lot of bleach on the sink all the time because of the dirty nature of laundry.)
Then we went to Germany for five years and our washer and dryer went into storage. When we came to Kentucky, the little washer refused to come back to life after its long hibernation. It wasn't worth fixing, so we went to Sears and bought a Kenmore which served us faithfully for 15 years with only a couple of visits by the repairman.
Last year, the Kenmore started having some problems and we decided to get a new washer. I did quite a bit of research on machines in the $500 range, and finally decided on a General Electric with a stainless steel basket. I am satisfied with it; my only minor complaint is that it is a little noisier than the Kenmore.
Though its mate died, the apartment-sized dryer still worked when we came back to Kentucky. We used it for about a year here, until one day I put too much heavy wet clothing into it and burned up its motor and the wall outlet it was plugged into. Neither the dryer nor the outlet was intended for the abuse it was receiving. I had already rigged a clothesline between a couple of trees, so after the little dryer died, I dried the laundry outside for a number of years. Money was tight and a dryer wasn't an absolute necessity.
A clothesline is a good idea most of the time, but it's not perfect. Clothing dried outside has a wonderful fresh-air scent that just can't be described. However, when a neighbor spreads manure across his field while the laundry is on the line, the clothing smells like it was hung in the barnyard. On a sunny breezy day, the clothing dries as fast outside as it does in the dryer but the clothesline is useless when rain lingers for a week. Hanging the clothes is a pleasant outdoor diversion on a warm day, but on a winter day, unprotected hands quickly go stiff and numb, and even gloved hands will ache with cold before a full basket of wet laundry is pinned to the line.
My husband finally decided that the clothesline between the trees looked tacky, so he fixed a proper clothesline with metal poles, on the south side of the house where the north wind wouldn't freeze me in the cold months of winter. He was trying to be nice, but it was a bad idea. We have a wood stove that we use in the winter, and in the clothesline's new location, the clothing picked up a smell of smoke.
Anyway, we eventually got a dryer (a Kenmore) and I'm grateful for it. I still hang clothing outside sometimes when the weather is nice. I don't have a clothesline anymore, but I do have a chain that I use for clothing on hangers -- one hanger per link in the chain. The hangers can't slide together and the wind doesn't blow them off. If the clothing is put on hangers promptly when the washer stops, much of it dries nearly as wrinkle-free as if it had gone through the dryer.
My Mennonite neighbor, Kathryn, is dedicated to hanging her laundry outside on the clothesline summer and winter, even though she has a dryer for emergencies. She has a mechanized clothesline that makes it a little easier. Her clothesline is a long loop strung around a pulley on each end. One pulley is on the porch and the other is mounted high on a tall pole far across the yard. She stands on her porch to pin on the clothes, then pulls the line through the pulleys to move the clothing out into the air high above the yard.
My conclusions about all this? A washer and a clothesline are better than going to the laundramat, and a washer, a dryer and a clothesline are about as good as doing your laundry gets. But what I really want is a laundry maid.

A fraught romantic comedy, shot through with anxiety about getting your child into an Ivy League school or else, "Admission" stars Tina Fey as a Princeton University admissions officer with a secret. Her genial foil is Paul Rudd, who runs a rural New Hampshire high school that's a progressive Eden of alternative educational grooviness. How these two nice, attractive, funny people find each other is up to the machinery of the source material, a novel by Jean Hanff Korelitz, adapted with mixed success for the screen by Karen Croner and directed with a calming glow by Paul Weitz, whose attention to relational detail was evident in "About a Boy," "In Good Company" and, more recently, "Being Flynn".
Besides talent and charisma and all that, what's so great about Fey and Rudd? With both, I think, their huge appeal lies in comfort and precision. Fey, the spikier and more vinegar-based of the pair, boasts an improvisation ace's deadly acumen (the good kind of deadly) in timing a rejoinder and sealing a moment with just the right punctuation. Rudd brings a related skill set, but he's a warmer presence, even when he's going for broad strokes in something like "Our Idiot Brother."
The challenge for Fey and Rudd in "Admission" is in finding a looser, more sincere quality, suited to a seriocomic (and ultimately flawed) fable of privilege and the privileged few. The story begins with Portia Nathan, the Fey character, explaining in voice-over the heartbreak and satisfaction of what she goes through with each new admissions process. She lays out the acceptable platitudes she conveys to fretful parents and their high-achieving offspring taking the latest Princeton applicants tour. "If this is the right place for you," she says, fully aware of the implicit lie, "this is the place you'll end up."
Portia's live-in boyfriend, a professor played by Michael Sheen, treats her like a dog — literally; he pats her on the head and calls her loyal — and is about to leave their bed for that of a humorless Virginia Woolf scholar. On a recruiting road trip, Portia visits the New Quest alternative high school, run by John Pressman (Rudd), her college classmate. There's an especially promising and quirky New Quest student (Nat Wolff) applying to Princeton. John has reason to believe this may be the same boy Portia gave up for adoption.
Does he tell her? If so, when? "Admission" nudges Portia and John together, as well as Portia and the Princeton hopeful, Jeremiah, as Fey's increasingly reckless character wrestles with academic politics (she's up for a promotion; Gloria Reuben is excellent as her undermining rival) and personal ethics (helping Jeremiah get into Princeton constitutes a whopping conflict of interest).
Latest Movies
"I like stories of screwed-up people who think they don't have anything to offer emotionally but who cobble together an unconventional family," director Weitz wrote in the production notes for "Admission." There's a good movie in this story. The one that got made is roughly half-good. Fey and Rudd almost make too much sense together on screen; they're smooth to the point of frictionless. The film tips between gentle satire of the admissions process and heartfelt pathos, and although the two aren't incompatible on paper, on screen it's a tussle. Weitz's direction isn't helped by the antsy, choppy editing by Joan Sobel. Why so many reaction shots? Do we really need this much help?
It's easy to watch because Fey and Rudd individually and, sometimes, together ensure a level of ease and confidence. But "Admission" is the tale of a woman losing it, and then regaining it. Fey, despite her enormous talent, never seems to lose it in a way that would activate her character's riskier, messier impulses. (You wonder what Lily Tomlin, who plays Fey's difficult mother in "Admission," might've done with the role a generation ago.) And while the film positions Portia as an island of relatable sanity amid poseurs and sniffy hypocrites, make no mistake: It comes down firmly on the side of doing whatever it takes to get into Princeton.

Talented in art as a child, he studied in Wilmington with painter Clawson Hammitt, who urged him to study with Howard Pyle. Pyle accepted Arthurs into his class at Drexel Institute in 1897; in 1898, Pyle invited Arthurs to attend his summer scholarship classes at Chadds Ford, Pennsylvania. When Pyle opened his own school in Wilmington, Arthurs continued his studies there, and worked in one of the studios Pyle had built for the school. Arthurs' first illustration was published in the December 2, 1899, issue of Harper's Weekly. When Pyle died in 1911, Arthurs purchased his studio. He lived and taught there for the rest of his career. Although Arthurs illustrated a great deal of popular literature, he specialized in historical texts, following Pyle's dictum that such images should be as accurate as possible. He also painted several murals of historical subjects for the State House in Dover, Delaware, and for the Minnesota State Capitol building, and produced a long series of historical paintings for DuPont Company calendars and the DuPont Magazine. Many of these were published in book form as The American Historical Scene (1938). Historical illustrations occupied most of Arthurs' attention after 1920, but he also painted landscapes, not only of local scenes but also of Florida, the Western states, and Europe.

Jerry Coleman dies; long-time Padres broadcaster was 89
Coleman (Courtesy San Diego Padres)
Jerry Coleman, former New York Yankees second baseman and long-time San Diego Padres broadcaster, has died at age 89.
"The San Diego Padres are deeply saddened by the news today of the passing of Jerry Coleman," the Padres said in a statement announcing his death. "We send our heartfelt sympathy to the entire Coleman family, including his wife, Maggie, his children and grandchildren. On behalf of Padres' fans everywhere, we mourn the loss of a Marine who was truly an American hero as well as a great man, a great friend and a great Padre."
Coleman was a Marine Corps combat veteran of World War II and the Korean War, which limited his baseball career to nine seasons in the majors. Still, he played with four Yankees teams and won the World Series and two others that made it there.

Padres president Mike Dee says Coleman died at a hospital Sunday afternoon. He says the team was notified by Coleman's wife, Maggie.
"It's hard to put into words what Jerry meant to this franchise," Dee said.
Coleman's 1956 Topps card
Coleman began broadcasting for the Padres in 1972 and spent more than four decades in his assignment. He began in broadcasting after his playing career, working for CBS, the Yankees and Los Angeles Angels before landing in San Diego.
He received the Ford C. Frick Award and a place in the Baseball Hall of Fame in 2005 and enter the National Radio Hall of Fame in 2007.
Coleman spent more than 70 years in pro baseball. He was a Marine Corps pilot and flew 120 missions combined in the two wars. Coleman was awarded two Distinguished Flying Crosses, 13 Air Medals and three Navy Citations.

"It's a sad day," Padres manager Bud Black said. "We're losing a San Diego icon. He's going to be missed."
The Padres planned to keep Coleman's statue at Petco Park open late Sunday so fans could pay tribute. The team unveiled the statue in September 2012.
While recounting his military career in an interview days before the statue was unveiled, Coleman said: "Your country is bigger than baseball."
Around Petco Park and on Padres radio broadcasts, Coleman was known as "The Colonel," having retired from the Marines with the rank of lieutenant colonel. He was the only major leaguer to see combat in two wars.
"He was a wonderful human being and a great guy," Black said. "He was one of a kind. He sort of blazed his own path from San Francisco and ended up as a war hero and a major league ballplayer and doing so many things in our game. As much as he's remembered for all he accomplished as a baseball man, he was more proud of his military service."
Coleman's broadcast schedule had been reduced to home day games. He also did a pregame interview with Black, who said Coleman was self-deprecating and preferred to talk about the Padres rather than anything he'd done with the Yankees or in the Marines.
"You wouldn't know it walking down the street that he was a World Series champion and also a guy that flew fighter planes," Black said.
Coleman was known for calls of "Oh, Doctor!" and "You can hang a star on that!" after big plays.
He also was known for malaprops, like the time he was describing Dave Winfield going back for a long fly ball.
"I said, 'Winfield hit his head against the wall and it's rolling toward the infield.' I meant the ball, of course," Coleman said in 2012.
In a statement, commissioner Bud Selig said Coleman "was a hero and a role model to myself and countless others in the game of baseball. ... But above all, Jerry's decorated service to our country in both World War II and Korea made him an integral part of the Greatest Generation. He was a true friend whose counsel I valued greatly."
"If there was any place Jerry Coleman could be Jerry Coleman, it would be San Diego, with this being a military town and with his military background," Dee said. "The symmetry between his life and this community transcended the Padres. San Diego was Jerry and Jerry was San Diego."
After graduating from high school in 1942, Coleman traveled three days by train from San Francisco to Wellsville, N.Y., to report to the New York Yankees' Class D affiliate.
Still 17, he was too young to enlist and fight in World War II, so he got to spend the summer playing ball. After he joined the military, he flew Douglas SBD Dauntless dive bombers in the Pacific in World War II. He played three more seasons of minor league ball before making his big league debut with the Yankees on April 20, 1949. He was The Associated Press' Rookie of the Year that season.
Coleman's best season was 1950, when he was an All-Star and was named MVP of the Yankees' four-game sweep of the Philadelphia Phillies in the World Series. Among his teammates were Joe DiMaggio, Yogi Berra, Phil Rizzuto and Johnny Mize.
"We won the first game 1-0 and I drove in that run," Coleman recalled in 2012. "We won the second game 2-1. I scored one of the two runs and DiMaggio hit a home run in the 10th to win it. In the third game I drove in the winning run in the last inning, and in the fourth game I rested."
By "rested," he means he went 0-for-3. "I was exhausted," he said.
In October 1951, Coleman found out that Marine pilots from World War II were not discharged, but on inactive status and that he'd be going to Korea for 18 months. He missed the bulk of two seasons.
"Your country is bigger than baseball," said Coleman, who added that he took his physical along with Ted Williams in Jacksonville in 1952. Williams, a San Diego native, also was a Marine pilot in World War II, but didn't see combat duty. He did fly combat missions in Korea.
When Coleman returned to the Yankees, he hit only .217. He was sent to an eye doctor, who told him he'd lost his depth perception.
"If you're trying to hit a baseball and you don't have depth perception, you have a problem," Coleman said.
He got that corrected but then broke his collarbone in April 1955. The night he came back from that injury, he got beaned.
His last season was 1957, when he hit .364 in a seven-game World Series loss to the Milwaukee Braves."First and foremost, he was an American hero whose service to this country is his lasting legacy. He was also a great Yankee, a true ambassador for baseball, and someone whose imprint on our game will be felt for generations," Yankees managing general partner Hal Steinbrenner said. "On behalf of the entire New York Yankees organization, we send our deepest condolences to the Coleman family."
Coleman worked in the Yankees' front office before beginning a broadcasting career that eventually brought him to San Diego.
He managed the Padres in 1980, when they went 73-89 and finished last in the NL West. Coleman was fired and returned to the booth.
"I should never have taken it," he said. "I look at it now and see the mistakes I made. If I wanted to be a manager, I should have gone to the minor leagues and developed there."
Coleman said the closest he came to being killed was in Korea when the engine in his Corsair quit during takeoff and his plane flipped.
Otherwise, he talked more about his comrades.
In describing the two-seat Dauntless he flew in the Solomon Islands and the Philippines, Coleman said the gunner "was the bravest man I knew. If I did something wrong, he died, too."

Robert Henry Vining (1848-1888)
Robert Henry Vining was my great-great grand-uncle on my dad's side of the family -- a younger brother of my great-great grandmother Martha Alameda (Vining) Mapes. Henry's parents moved from Pennsylvania to Henry County, Illinois, in the 1840s, and Henry was born there in 1848. He spent his boyhood years on the family farm on the Illinois prairie.
|Kennesaw's Bombardment '64
Sketch by war correspondent Alfred Waud
Henry Vining came to Republic County, Kansas, in 1868, and settled in the Elk Creek valley along with Ashbel Mapes (Ashbel was Henry's brother-in-law and my great-great grandfather), three Willoughby brothers, and William Oliver. All of these men were relatives or connected by marriage. They and their families were among the first white settlers of the Elk Creek area.
Henry was a member of the Salt Creek Militia that was formed in 1868 to protect Republic County settlers from the Indians. He also served as the Republic County sheriff that year. On January 1, 1869, he married Martha Oliver -- the first marriage in Republic County, Kansas.
Henry's missing leg didn't slow him down too much. He was proud that he had given a leg in the service of his country. People called him Peggy, because he had a peg leg. He served as a marshal in the little communities of Clyde and Concordia, Kansas, during the 1870s. Later, he was the manager of the Western Detective Agency of Clyde (a bounty hunter?), and he also ran a saloon in Clyde which was destroyed in a business district fire on January 25, 1881. (See Belleville Telescope p. 3, Feb. 3, 1881)
In June of 1881, Henry got into a bad fight. Apparently he and the schoolmaster in Clyde had already disagreed about something. Then, the schoolmaster slapped Henry's son on the ear for fighting with another boy. Henry found the schoolmaster in a store and, after an exchange of words, gave him a punch that knocked him to the floor. The schoolmaster knocked or kicked Henry down, and they scuffled.
The schoolmaster might have won the fight, being wiry and more agile with his two legs, but Henry pulled a gun. It misfired the first time, and the second shot went into a trunk. The schoolmaster abandoned the fight and rode to the county seat to file a complaint with the marshal. Henry was arrested and charged with "assault with intent to kill". I don't know what happened after that, but I'm very curious.
The editor of the Clyde Democrat, who also happened to be the schoolmaster's friend and roommate, wrote a sensational newspaper account of the above event (See "A Murderous Assault," Belleville Telescope, p. 2, June 16, 1881) . He stated that Henry Vining was a drunkard, which may or may not have been true. The report is clearly slanted in favor of the schoolmaster -- perhaps rightfully so.
Henry Vining seems to have been well-liked by most people and was well-known in the area, so I suspect that the charges were eventually dropped, or that he was not convicted, or that if he was convicted, the sentence was light. That's just my hunch, not a proven fact. I'm still researching -- I'd love to know the rest of the story!
The Clyde Democrat ceased publication in mid-1882. I think the editor probably left Clyde at that time, and probably his friend, the schoolmaster, left too.
Henry Vining died unexpectedly in 1888 at the young age of 40. He had an agreement with his long-time friend and fellow veteran Jacob Sohlinger that, if one of them died, the other would see that he was laid to rest, wrapped in the flag. Jacob Sohlinger kept his promise, and Henry Vining went to his grave embraced by the flag and declaring his patriotism to the end.

I've used FitDay and it has a pretty good database and its customizable. I've heard MyFitnessPal is good, too, although I don't know personally. I have never used it.
I realize this is a really old thread, but I'm resurrecting it anyway...
For meal planning, not just tracking, I'm using an app called Eat This Much, which also has a web-interface. ETM allows you to track calories, macronutrients, and micronutrients. It will create meal plans for you up to one week in advance, and you can plan out an extra week manually if you like. You can set it up to restrict certain kinds of foods based on your allergies, preferences, or a few popular diet options it offers (e.g. paleo, vegan, mediterranean, etc...).
My favorite part about it is that it will select recipes based on how much time you tell it you have to cook for each meal. So if I don't want to spend more than 30 mins per night making dinner, it will only give me recipes that take 30 mins or less to prep + cook.
It offers a ton of flexibility and other great features. I can't recommend it enough.
That said...it costs around $70/year, and I'd be curious to learn if others have found an app with as much functionality at a lower price.
I used MFP for quite some time, but MyNetDiary make MFP look stale and outdated.

8.6.4 Climate of 20th Century: Summary
Several coupled models are able to reproduce the major trend in 20th century surface air temperature, when driven by historical radiative forcing scenarios corresponding to the 20th century. However, in these studies idealised scenarios of only sulphate radiative forcing have been used. One study using the ECHAM4/OPYC model that includes both the indirect and direct effects of sulphate aerosols, as well as changes in tropospheric ozone, suggests that the observed surface and tropospheric air temperature discrepancies since 1979 are reduced when stratospheric ozone depletion and stratospheric aerosols associated with the Pinatubo eruption are included. Systematic evaluation of 20th century AOGCM simulations for other trends found in observational fields, such as the reduction in diurnal temperature range over the 20th century and the associated increase in cloud coverage, have yet to be conducted.
The inclusion of changes in solar irradiance and volcanic aerosols has improved the simulated variability found in several AOGCMs. In addition, some evaluation studies aimed at the reproduction of 20th century climate have suggested that changes in solar irradiance may be important to include in order to reproduce the warming in the early part of the century. Another study has suggested that this early warming can be solely explained as a consequence of natural internal climate variability.
Taken together, we consider that there is an urgent need for a systematic 20th century climate intercomparison project with a standard set of forcings, including volcanic aerosols, changes in solar irradiance and land use, as well as a more realistic treatment of both the direct and indirect effects of a range of aerosols.8.6.5 Commentary on Land Cover Change
Land-cover change can occur through human intervention (land clearance), via direct effects of changes in CO2 on vegetation physiology and structure, and via climate changes (Chapter 7). Evidence from observational studies (see Chapter 7, Section 7.4.2) and modelling studies (e.g., Betts et al., 1997, 2000; Chase et al., 2000; Zhao et al., 2001) demonstrate that changes in land cover can have a significant impact on the regional scale climate but suggestions that land clearance has an impact on the global scale climate is currently speculative. Evidence from palaeoclimate (Section 8.5) and modelling work (Section 8.5 and Chapter 7, Section 7.4) indicates that these changes in vegetation may lead to very significant local and regional scale climate changes which, in some cases, may be equivalent to those due to increasing CO2 (Pitman and Zhao, 2000).
On time-scales of decades the impact of land cover change could significantly influence the rate of atmospheric CO2 increase (Chapter 3), the nature and extent of the physical climate system response, and ultimately, the response of the biosphere to global change (Chapter 8). Models currently under development that can represent changes in land cover resulting from changes in climate and CO2 should enable the simulations of these processes in the future. If these models can be coupled with scenarios representing human-induced changes in land cover over the next 50 to 100 years, the important effects of land- cover change can be included in climate models. While the inclusion of these models of the biosphere is not expected to change the global scale response to increasing CO2, they may significantly effect the simulations of local and regional scale change.

Yosemite blaze: Firefighters dig in, but danger remains
Foresta, Mariposa County --
Residents of this tiny town felt a surge of hope Tuesday as firefighters dug in with tractors, hoses and shovels and forced a rampaging 3,060-acre wildfire on the western edge of Yosemite National Park away from their community - for now.
It was clear as the day wore on that the fight that began Saturday when the blaze ignited a few miles east of here was far from over.
The town's 60 or so hilltop homes, graced with distant views of the park's iconic Half Dome and El Capitan, remained in danger as oaks and ponderosa pines smoldered within feet of their doorsteps - and residents were on orders, for a fourth day, to stay out of town.
But with slightly lower temperatures and lighter winds to fan flames, fire crews managed to steer the blaze away from houses, where chain-sawed trees and red retardant on roofs marked a turning point in the prolonged firefight. Flat expanses of smoking ash spread off in many directions, with scorched trees poking up like blackened light poles, and a gray haze filled the air overhead.
With all of the residents - a mix of year-round folks and vacationers - fled, the only sound was the buzz of firefighting.
The main body of the fire, meanwhile, edged deeper into the park's interior, where officials worried that Big Oak Flat Road, the main artery into Yosemite Valley from the Bay Area, would be the next front for their battle. All day long, tourists and locals gathered on hillsides to watch helicopters dousing flames with water pulled from the Merced River, and they could track the blaze's advance by angry clouds of smoke thrusting into the sky where the fight was fiercest.
"We were just glad we could protect as much of Foresta as we could," said Yosemite Park Superintendent Don Neubacher.
Two homes here didn't survive.
Couple's lunch cut short
On Saturday, shortly after the fire began, Olotumi Laizer returned to his house after a long drive to Manteca, where he had picked up lunch at Chipotle for his wife, Kim. The two were eating when a neighbor came knocking on their door.
"I ran and looked out and saw a big fire coming," Olotumi said. "I told my wife we had to get out. We didn't have but five minutes."
The couple drove off as quickly as they could, surrendering most of their belongings to flames.
"I don't know that there was any way anyone could have gotten there," Kim Laizer said.
Their hasty exit came as firefighters arrived in force, dropping water and retardant from as many as eight helicopters and nine planes and digging lines with hoes, axes and bulldozers.
The fire grew quickly amid dense brush and timber parched by three years of drought. But by Tuesday morning, firefighters appeared to have gotten a handle on the blaze - or at least its southern end near Foresta. Overall, they estimated containment at 19 percent.
On Tuesday afternoon, a team of firefighters watered down what remained of the Laizers' home: a pile of mostly burned-up scrap metal.
A cracked ceramic portrait of a woman's face with bear paws around her neck was one of the few recognizable items amid the debris. A charred truck sat in the ash with its tires melted.
While the Foresta fight wound down, fire crews on the blaze's other fronts focused on the canyons beneath Big Oak Flat Road. Firefighters were hoping to stop the blaze before it reached the major thoroughfare, which connects Highway 120 to Yosemite Valley.
The famed Merced Grove of giant sequoias was also at risk, officials said, though it remained a few miles from the burn.
"Our hope is that we can cut the fire off before getting to the grove," said Carlton Joseph, incident commander for the fire. "It needs to be protected."
Most of Big Oak Flat Road remained closed because of the fire, as did campgrounds at Crane Flat, Bridalveil Creek and Yosemite Creek. Yosemite Valley could still be reached via Highway 140 and Highway 120 stayed open through the mountains, but visitors to the area were being told to expect poor visibility.
Scars from past fires
Foresta and nearby Old El Portal have been savaged by fire before.
Many of the surrounding hills are treeless, with snags that remain from a 1990 fire that wiped out several structures and spread across 17,000 acres. Again in 2009, a 7,000-acre blaze spread dangerously close to homes.
The latest fire, coined the El Portal Fire, burned what was left over from past infernos.
"We've been through this before," said Janaki Patel, who was allowed to return to her house in Old El Portal on Tuesday morning after being forced to evacuate for three days. "It's part of living here. We take that risk. It's the most beautiful place."
One hundred miles away in thickly forested canyons east of Sacramento, another wildfire that had forced evacuations over the weekend was well in hand Tuesday.
The wind-whipped Sand Fire, which broke out Friday and burned in Amador and El Dorado counties, was 80 percent contained after blackening 3,800 acres. All but a handful of the 1,200 evacuees were let back into their homes in the morning - though for many, the news was not good. The blaze destroyed 19 homes and 47 outbuildings.
"Things have dramatically improved," said Chris Anthony, an assistant chief with the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection. "We got some real help from the weather."
The other major fire burning this week in the Sierra is the French Fire, a 2,000-acre blaze chewing through trees and rugged campgrounds in the Sierra National Forest nearly 100 miles southeast of Yosemite. It broke out Monday and was uncontained.

Measure of success
Newmont Mining Corp. underscored its commitment to the Center for Work Education and Employment (CWEE) by giving a surprise gift of $25,000 during a luncheon celebrating the agency's 25th anniversary.
Newmont's chairman and CEO, Wayne Murdy, personally delivered the check that rendered executive director Laurie Harvey momentarily speechless.
Harvey, who has guided the nonprofit almost since its its beginning, had been thrilled when Newmont had earlier agreed to a three-year, $75,000 gift that would make it the presenting sponsor of various CWEE events. The $25,000 given at the anniversary lunch was "completely unexpected," Harvey said, "and very much appreciated."
Gov. Bill Ritter also was among the 500 luncheon attendees. "If we are to succeed, we must focus on those who live on the margin and help them reach their potential," Ritter said.
The noontime event was held in the Donald R. Seawell Grand Ballroom, and honored three CWEE alumni who rose above verbal and physical abuse, a lack of education or work experience, and teenage pregnancy to become financially independent — Wendy Brown, Valerie Binkley and Lucyla Diaz. They were given Silver Flame Alumni Leadership awards to commemorate their success.
Also honored was Julia Doria, a 1986 CWEE graduate who has been employed by Qwest for 20 years.
The $126,000 that was raised at the luncheon will help CWEE continue its programs that help low-income parents prepare for, find and keep sustainable employment.
Guests included Polly Baca, Nancy Wolfe, Katie Wolfe Agron, Judy Robins, Robin Halby Snidow, Marcia Schor, Nancy Schulein, Carol Shepard, and Rhondda Grant.
In addition to Newmont Mining, support for the event came from MacKenzie House, Wells Fargo Bank, Community Banks of Colorado, Robin and Todd Snidow, Nancy and Fred Wolfe, the Gay and Lesbian Fund for Colorado and GK Baum & Co.
For additional information on CWEE, which was founded in 1982, call Laura Gabbay, 303-892-8444, ext. 312.

Campbell lifts Panthers to 4-3 win over Sabres
Send a link to a friend
[February 04, 2013]
(AP) -- Defenseman Brian Campbell scored on the power play with 10:33 remaining to cap Florida's three-goal rally and the Panthers beat the Buffalo Sabres 4-3 on Sunday.
Peter Mueller, George Parros and Shawn Matthias also scored for the Panthers, who won their first road game of the season and snapped a seven-game road winless drought (0-5-2) dating to last season. Florida rallied from a 3-1 deficit to win two straight since enduring a five-game skid.
Thomas Vanek and Cody Hodgson had a goal and assist each, and Alexander Sulzer also scored for Buffalo, which dropped to 1-5-1 since opening the season with two wins.
Campbell scored against his former team with Buffalo's Christian Ehrhoff serving a hooking penalty. Tomas Kopecky set up the play when he was allowed to come out from the right side of the net and tried to jam the puck in. Though he was stopped by goalie Ryan Miller, the rebound dribbled to the left circle, where Campbell snapped it into the open left side.
The Sabres were playing their third game in four days, and coming off a 6-1 loss at Montreal on Saturday. The Panthers were well rested since a 6-3 home win against Winnipeg on Thursday.
The rest appeared to pay off for the Panthers, who dominated the second half of the game. They outscored the Sabres 3-0 over the final 30 minutes and enjoyed a 22-minute stretch during which they outshot Buffalo 15-1. That shot margin just happened to match the shot advantage the Canadiens had on the Sabres in the first period a day earlier.
Buffalo was outshot 33-20, including 13-4 in the third period when the team didn't get its first shot on net until Jochen Hecht slapped a shot on from the right boards with 8:11 remaining.
After Sulzer scored to make it 3-1 early in the second period, the Panthers rallied with Parros and Mueller scoring nine minutes apart. Mueller extended his goal streak to four games by converting Drew Shore's rebound to tie it at 3 with 54 seconds left in the frame.
Buffalo had several chances to build on its 3-1 lead. During a 30-second span midway through the second period, both rookie center Mikhail Grigorenko and forward Marcus Foligno missed the net on shots from in close.
The Panthers are finally starting to find their offense, combining for 10 goals in two games after managing just five in their previous five.
[to top of second column]
The Sabres continued to show little offense beyond their top line of Hodgson, Vanek and captain Jason Pominville.
Vanek extended his prolific start in which he took over the NHL lead with 19 points (eight goals, 11 assists), putting him nearly a third of the way of matching the 61 points he had last season. Vanek has now produced two or more points four times, and has registered a point in the eight games he's played after missing one because of a muscle spasm.
Vanek has now had a hand in six of Buffalo's past seven goals over a six-period stretch, dating to the third period of a 7-4 win at Boston on Thursday.
Vanek opened the scoring 2:46 in by completing a nifty series of passes. After Jose Theodore stopped Christian Ehrhoff's initial shot, Hodgson got to the rebound and backhanded it through the middle to Pominville, who made a no-look pass through his legs to hit Vanek, who snapped it in while driving to the net.
Vanek then helped the Sabres regain the lead by setting up Hodgson with 6:19 left in the first period. Getting to a loose puck in the high slot, Vanek eluded Panthers defenseman Mike Weaver and drove to the net before slipping a pass through the crease to Hodgson.
Vanek then added an assist in setting up Sulzer, who scored on a one-timer from the right point early in the second period.
NOTES: The Sabres were without D Andrej Sekera (lower body), who will miss a few days and potentially longer after being struck by a shot in a 6-1 loss at Montreal on Saturday. ... The Panthers opened a four-game road trip without D Ed Jovanovski and LW Scottie Upshall, who are both out with lower-body injuries. ... Panthers D Filip Kuba played his 800th career game. ... Parros' goal was the Panthers' tough-guy's first point in nearly a calendar year, dating to a goal he scored at Detroit last Feb. 10. ... Panthers C Stephen Weiss returned after missing four games with a lower body injury.

Utley's red-hot bat frustrates Cubs ace
CHICAGO -- Cubs ace Jeff Samardzija had a rough afternoon Saturday against Chase Utley, but he should not feel alone.
Utley finished Sunday's series finale against the Cubs at Wrigley Field hitting .458 (11-for-24) with three doubles, two home runs, six RBIs and a 1.369 OPS through six games. He entered the afternoon ranked third in the National League in batting average, total bases (18) and slugging percentage (.857).
"He's right on the dish, he has a short swing and he loves the ball in," Samardzija said. "As a pitcher, it puts you in a tough spot right off the bat. You need to attack him right away and see how his approach is. To know his power zone is in and he's on top of the dish, he covers the plate, not to mention, he has a great eye. You add that together and you have one tough out, especially when he's healthy. He's a good player, man. The more times you get him out, the better you can navigate around their lineup."
Utley hit the 300th double of his career Saturday, which is eighth on the franchise list. He is just the third player in Phillies history to collect 300 doubles, 200 home runs, 800 RBIs and 100 stolen bases, joining Hall of Fame third baseman Mike Schmidt and current teammate Jimmy Rollins.
Utley picked up the 814th RBI of his career in Sunday's 8-3 loss, which moved him into a tie with Bobby Abreu for 10th place on the franchise's all-time list.

Catch a rising star
For Holli Gibson, winning Fashion Group International's award for up and coming designers was, well, child's play. Gibson, who has extensive experience in the fashion industry but only recent created her own children's wear line, LamanBlu, was given FGI's top honor at its fifth annual biannual gala Friday.
Close to 400 people turned out for the event, held at the home of presenting sponsor Mercedes-Benz of Westminster. (By the way, an automobile showroom is a great place for a fashion show — once they remove the cars — because it's well-lit and there's plenty of room to set up a runway, backstage, seating and catering stations.)
Gibson, who creates luxurious and eco-friendly designer clothing for children, showed blue and white linen and cotton nautical themed outfits trimmed with freshwater pearls, rope ties and seahorses. It enchanted the audience.
Nine other companies got to show their work on the runway as well, including Julie Hill and Lisa Welch for Born Fit; Stephanie Ohnmacht for Smooch; Susan Kiely for SK Designs; Maureen de Haan for Denver Couture; Phoebe Stapleton for Sierra Designs; Rustin Coburn and Noah Price for DVLP; Eulanda Sanders and Andrea Li.
Gibson has been a designer for several fashion houses and major high end retailers, including Nordstrom and Victoria's Secret but is pursuing her dream to have her own collection.
She likes using natural and eco-friendly materials such as bamboo, linen, cotton and hemp. She manufactures her clothes in the United Sates and sells at specialty boutiques.
The fifth biannual FGI gala was chaired by Scottie Taylor Iverson. Honorary chairs were Frances Owens, executive vice president of the Galloway Group and former Colorado first lady, and her daughter Monica Owens.
Also honored at the event was David Jacobs, founder of Spyder Active Sports, and a selection of the company's winter ski and snowboard clothing for men and women opened the show.
Proceeds from the Rising Star Gala will be used toward FGI's educational programs.

NEW YORK — Lindsay Lohan has left a New York City police precinct after being charged for allegedly striking a woman at a nightclub.
The actress left the station house shortly before 8 a.m. Thursday. She wore a black jacket over her head that went down to her knees. She was wearing leggings, a mini skirt and high-heels, and drove off in a black SUV with a driver and another man.
Police say Lohan was arrested at 4 a.m. and charged with third-degree assault.
They say she got into the argument with another woman at Club Avenue in Manhattan and struck the woman in face with her hand.
Her publicist didn't immediately return a call for comment.
Lohan has had frequent brushes with law.

| 12°C Belfast
The jury in the sex abuse trial of Coronation Street star William Roache is today due to retire to consider its verdicts.
Roache, 81, who plays Ken Barlow in the ITV soap, is accused of using his fame and popularity to exploit five youngsters between the mid-60s and early 70s.
His trial at Preston Crown Court, in its fourth week, has heard from five women who claim he sexually assaulted them when they were 16 or under, either at Granada Studios in Manchester, in his car or at properties he owned.
In denying all the offences, Roache said he did not even know any of his accusers and had never had a sexual interest in underage girls.
Roache, from Wilmslow, Cheshire, is accused of two counts of rape and four counts of indecent assault on various dates between 1965 and 1972.
Mr Justice Holroyde yesterday (Tuesday) told the jury of eight women and four men that he will complete his summing up this morning before sending them out for their deliberations.

urban decay de-slick: £19*oil control setting spray
I have quite oily skin sometimes, Although it hasn't been the worst it's ever been recently it's still something that I always worry about. Generally I'll use a powder to keep my skin matte during the day but using powder can often leave my skin looking cakey or dry. Urban Decay De-Slick is an oil controlling mattifying makeup setting spray. I wouldn't say it makes my skin feel less oily overall and but it does control my oil slightly and I do find my skin generally doesn't get as oily as quickly. Worn on top of just foundation it leaves a beautiful satin, dewy finish. When I use it after powder it does make my skin look really nice, by taking away a lot of the powderyness. It leaves a nice flawless glowy base, It just reminds me of MAC Fix + in a fancier bottle! It's a good makeup setting spray and I think it's perfect for oiler skinned girls like me as it does control the oil levels somewhat. But I would say don't go in expecting miracles, but it's definitely helped my skin to some degree.

Urban Decay Primer Potion: £14.50*cult eyeshadow primer
Urban Decay Primer Potion is possibly one of the most talked about products in the blogging world. Before blogging I didnt even know there was such a thing as a eye primer, but as soon as I started watching Youtube videos, the idea of a primer was drummed into my head. UDPP is a best selling, world famous eye makeup primer which claims to make your eyeshadows vibrant, crease free and last up to 24 hours. I've used a tiny UDPP before which came with the Naked palettes and I was never all that impressed. I just didn't think it was amazing. However I've recently given it another go and have found it to do a wonderful job at keeping my shadow in place. I don't really have oily lids, and to be honest I never really worry about the shadow lasting. I have however seen the difference it's made to how colours apply to my lids. The eyeshadow base comes in a squeezey tube and looks like fair tone but I think it's actually fairly transparent colour once blended into the lid. It dries down really quickly on the lid and doesn't leave it feeling tacky or greasy.
While I do think it's overhyped, I do like Urban Decay Primer Potion and do think it's great for those who want their shadows to last and apply more evenly. I do think it's pricey and not a really necessary step in beauty but I think it would work much better for dramatic or coloured eyeshadow looks compared to my usual neutral eye! I also think if you suffer from migrating shadows or oiler lids this might be worth a try! Urban Decay Primer Potion comes in four shades Original, Greed, Eden & Sin.
