In February and March 2003, the Committee on Monitoring Interna-
tional Labor Standards (CMILS) of the National Research Council (NRC)
convened regional forums in Costa Rica, Sri Lanka, and South Africa. Par-
ticipants included representatives from the International Labour Organiza-
tion (ILO), national governments, workers' and employers' organizations,
nongovernmental organizations (NGOs), and the academic community.
These meetings were designed to provide the CMILS with a broad range of
international perspectives on the many complex issues related to monitor-
ing compliance with international labor standards, particularly within de-
veloping countries. The CMILS has convened similar forums in the United
States and held workshops examining data quality, assessing national legal
frameworks, and exploring linlc~ges between human capital development
and compliance with labor standards.
These activities have been sponsored as part of an NRC contract with
the U.S. Department of Labor (DOL), requesting expert, science-based
advice on monitoring compliance with international labor standards. The
NRC convened the CMILS for the study, a two-year project with multiple

data on labor standards and incorporate them into a database tailored to
the current and anticipated needs of DOL's Bureau of International Labor
Affairs (ILAB);

assess the quality of existing and potential data and indicators that
can be used to systematically monitor labor practices and the effectiveness
of enforcement in order to determine compliance with national labor legis-
lation and international standards;
� identify innovative measures to determine compliance with inter-
national labor stanclar~ls on a country-by-country basis and to measure
progress on improved labor legislation and enforcement;
� explore the relationship between labor standards compliance and
national policies relating to human capital issues; and
� recommend sustainable reporting procedures to monitor countries'
progress toward implementation of international labor standards.
The substantive scope of the CMILS study includes national compli-
ance with the international standards identified in the ILO's 1998 Declara-
tion on Fundamental Principles and Rights at Work, which are
1. freedom of association and the effective recognition of the right to
collective bargaining;
2. the elimination of all forms of forced or compulsory labor;
3. the effective abolition of child labor; and
4. the elimination of discrimination in respect of employment and
Additionally, the committee will examine issues related to "acceptable con-
ditions of work," as defined in U.S. trade law, including minimum wages,
hours of work, and occupational safety and health. The committee's find-
ings and recommendations to the DOL will be published in a final report
to be released in early 2004. The final report will be accompanied by a web-
based database, which compiles available sources of information on coun-
try compliance with labor standards.
In convening the international forums, the CMILS was seeking not
only to identify sources of information and indicators that may assist in
measuring compliance with core labor standards, but also to gain a greater
understanding of the national and regional context and factors that must
be considered in such an endeavor but often escape statistical measure-
ment. Thus, presenters were asked to address a broad range of topics, such
as the policies and programs that are being developed to adclress labor is-
sues in their countries, the obstacles to implementation, and how these
obstacles may be overcome. While already aware of the nature of these
OCR for page 1
challenges such as resource constraints, lack of political will, inadequate
legal frameworks and enforcement mechanisms, training needs, etc. the
CMILS convened these forums to hear about these issues directly from the
people with firsthand knowledge so that committee recommendations and
the web-based monitoring resources would be based on evidence from the
field and incorporate a wide variety of international perspectives.
Although members of the CMILS assisted in identifying speakers and
developing the agenda of the forums, they did not participate in writing
this summary. This summary does not contain any deliberations, conclu-
sions, or recommendations of the committee or NRC staff but presents
edited contents of each forum participant's presentation and summaries of
audience questions and comments.
The forums in Costa Rica, Sri Lanka, and South Africa provided an
opportunity for participants to discuss local, national, and regional issues
relating to compliance with international labor standards. While some tOp-
ics received greater attention on a regional basis such as child labor in
Asia and the impact of HIV/AIDS in Africa�the three forums, when
viewed together, demonstrate more similarities than differences when it
comes to the challenges of adopting, promoting, and monitoring compli-
ance with international labor standards.
This report indudes a brief summary of the presentations of 61 par-
ticipants from 24 countries in the Americas, Asia, and Africa. Forum par-
ticipants representing the ILO, national governments, workers' and em-
ployers' organizations, NGOs, and the academic community provided a
variety of insights into both country-specific and more global challenges or
obstacles to compliance. The following is a brief overview of some of the
critical, often interrelated, themes that emerged from these three forums.
Poverty, debt, and the challenges of maintaining a "comparative ad-
vantage" in a fiercely competitive globalized economy were all described as
having a significant impact on the policies and practices of key stakeholders
in developing countries. For example, the desire to attract trade and foreign
investment has in many cases placed macroeconomic policies above those
designed to protect workers' rights in terms of national priority. Structural
adjustment programs promoting more "flexible" labor market regulation,
the nonapplication of freedom of association and other rights to workers in
Economic Processing Zones, and other inducements to potential investors
OCR for page 1
are among the issues demonstrating the tension between generating em-
ployment and ensuring that the quality of employment meets certain mini-
mum standards. This tension is particularly pronounces! when one consid-
ers the high rates of unemployment and underemployment in the countries
Against this background, regional trade agreements and the possible
linkage of trade and labor standards received considerable attention from
the participants. While some opposed the conditioning of trade benefits on
compliance with certain labor rights, others describer! this link as a valuable
tool that offers leverage in promoting change within their countries and
protecting against a "race to the bottom."
Another key issue, the rapid increase in the proportion of workers in
the informal economy, was cited by numerous presenters as a challenge
both to promoting compliance and to monitoring it. Falling outside the
scope of national labor legislation, the wages, hours, and workplace condi-
tions of those workers in precarious informal work most often escape regu-
lation and inspection, even though the conditions are frequently exploit-
ative or illegal. Standard statistical instruments, such as the household! or
labor force surveys discussed by several presenters, provide a broad range of
data on the formal labor market but have severe limitations in their ability
to capture activities in the informal economy. Other issues relating to the
quality, reliability, and accessibility of information were raised by numer-
ous presenters, illustrating the difficulties of monitoring compliance not
only in the informal economy but in all sectors.
Often inextricably linked to poverty and resource constraints, the lack
of institutional capacity whether of governmental institutions or of other
organizations with a role in implementing workers' rights was most of-
ten cited as a primary obstacle to compliance. At the governmental level,
adequate limping of labor inspectorates or judicial and educational sys-
tems may simply not be available. Given these resource limitations com-
bined, in some cases, with a lack of political will- building the capacity of
the individuals within these institutions is of utmost importance, requir-
ing education and training of inspectors, judges, workers, factory owners,
and union leaders, among others. As noted by many presenters, the result
is that national commitment to international labor standards, while ex-
pressed theoretically by ratification of ILO Conventions and the existence
of legislative provisions on labor rights, is often found lacking in its practi-
cal application.

No Millers return for legend Lee
As already discussed on the site, boss Steve Evans has ruled out a return for former striker Alan Lee.
The 34 year-old was released by Huddersfield last Friday and after netting two goals in Paul Warne's testimonial on Sunday for the Millers legends side, it sparked talks amongst fans of a possible return to the club.
However Evans moved quickly yesterday to dismiss those rumours, speaking to themillers.co.uk.
"When you are the manager of the Millers having just been promoted to League One, with aspirations of getting into the Championship, then quite rightly the supporters are going to be excited about being linked to a whole host of players," said Evans. "Alan Lee's representatives haven't expressed anything about him wanting to come here, he is a legend at this football club but as the manager I have to be honest and admit that it is not something I am looking to pursue."

EUGENE, Ore. — Opening ceremonies of the IAAF World Junior Championships kicked off Tuesday.
The meet is the premiere track and field event for junior athletes around the world.
Track and field fans are pumped up for this international competition, it's not just fans in Eugene who come to support but people as far as South Carolina and Wisconsin are in Eugene and also those who are coming from overseas.
This six-day event draws the best track and field athletes under 20 from around the globe.
A total of 177 national federations, from Algeria to Zimbabwe, will compete.
More than 1,700 athletes, under the age of 20 will compete.
"We train hard and work every day so, this is the time and the moment that we've been working for, so I guess we will stay focused," said Saqukine Cameron, Jamaica athlete.
The event is a chance to watch the future stars of the sport, many of whom could compete in the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro.

Lemonade: What tastes better than ice-cold lemonade when the temperatures are soaring? This room is like a lemonade, with a twist of modern. A great lemon peel pattern on the ceiling tops off the vintage chandelier and shiny silver and gold touches.
Lime fizz: Try a mix of ginger ale, lime juice, mint and ice, of course. This tropical sunroom says lime all over. The palette is really very simple: green, black and white, with neutrals mixed in. The formal paneling is played down by the addition of lush palms and whimsical birdcage references. Notice the great contrast of the black floor against the bright white walls.
Virgin bloody mary: Who knew that tomato juice, Worcestershire sauce, celery salt, lemon and black pepper could be so refreshing (sans vodka, of course). Don't forget the celery stalk.
Tomato red is so spicy in this powder room with a floating vanity. When using red, consider an all-red room. Mix up the textures, such as this combination of paint and tiled walls.

Sun tea: Tea bags, water, sugar and sunshine make up this old favorite. The beautiful, tea-toned cabinets are color perfect with minimalist detail. The main texture and detail in this bathroom comes from the overhead "sunny" pendant of capiz shells.
Iced mocha: This mocha-colored room features great tone-on-tone detail. Touches of chinoiserie and cinnamon-toned prints provide a great focal point behind the seating arrangement. Pull out your blender and combine milk, vanilla, sugar, instant coffee and ice. Sit and enjoy!
Oreo milkshake: Don't put your blender away just yet. Throw in some milk, Oreos and ice cream. While blending, take a look at this gorgeous black and white vignette. This dramatic chest of drawers has perfect symmetry, yet the art piece is not centered. It's offset by the tall buffet lamp and accessories.
Orange smoothie: Your thirst may be quenched by now, but who can pass up an orange smoothie and an all orange room? Not me, I have a crush on orange, especially when paired with modern lines and hints of black. This seating arrangement is smooth and simple. Its monochromatic palette packs a punch against the black cocktail table. Pour yourself some orange juice, add plain yogurt, ice and honey, and blend.
Vanilla milkshake: This entry is vanilla perfection complete with shiny silver details that remind me of tall silver spoons. The reflective surfaces create a formal flavor punctuated by a yummy view. A frosty chandelier drips over the seating area, just for fun.

Two Alumni Named to Prestigious New Posts
Web Editor
- Published: December 11, 2013
E. Christopher Abruzzo '92
Jonathan Peri '99
Widener Law alumni E. Christopher Abruzzo '92 and Jonathan Peri '99 both recently received prestigious new positions.
The Pennsylvania state senate confirmed Abruzzo, a graduate of Widener Law's Harrisburg campus, as the secretary of the Department of Environmental Protection on December 10th. Abruzzo had served as the interim secretary of the Department of Environmental Protection since April of 2012.
Previously, he served as deputy chief of staff to the governor. Prior to his appointment to Governor Corbett's staff, he served as a chief deputy attorney general in the Pennsylvania Attorney General's Office, supervising the drug strike force section. He oversaw all drug-related prosecutions conducted by the Attorney General's Office in Pennsylvania. The work included grand jury and wiretap investigations and he was the office's principal legal adviser on electronic surveillance and wiretap applications.
Jonathan Peri, a Delaware campus graduate, was elected as the President of The Delaware County Bar Association's Board of Directors. His term will begin in January 2014. Peri, who is Vice President and General Counsel of Neumann University and the institution's Chief Legal Officer and Program Director of the Neumann University Center for Leadership, will begin his term in January 2014.
"We are excited to have Jonathan Peri as the next President of the Delaware County Bar Association. He brings tremendous skills and expertise in law and corporate governance to this position. This background will help him to build on the work of previous presidents in setting a strategic plan for the association and in continuing to attract new members. Jonathan's impressive and well-rounded background will further the great tradition and reputation of our Association," said William Baldwin, Executive Director of the Delaware County Bar Association, in a press release.
Widener Law extends congratulations to both Mr. Abruzzo and Mr. Peri and wishes them success in their new roles.

There was plenty of space in the room for a single person. It was easy walking distance to wherever I wanted to go.
The location given for the hostel was actually across the street and up stairs which were difficult to navigate with a suitcase. To then have to wander around trying to find the reception area was annoying. The location of reception needs to be accurate on the booking. The shower water wet the entire bathroom, which meant you were unable to take clothes inside the bathroom with you.
The kidness and the good services of the reception staff
there were no plates (pots etc.) or other materials for cooking
The location is amazing and the beds comfortable.
The kitchen facilities are misrepresented. Simple essentials such as mugs and a kettle should be provided. Wifi is only available in the main reception so if you are in a different block it means poor access.
wifi only available in the main reception and limited IP which made connecting almost impossible
The best thing was the location: near the city center and close public transport. With respect to other accommodations in Helsinki it was relatively cheap. In addition to this you can save money cooking your meals at home or making some sandwiches. Another good aspect was the silence in our building: it almost felt like we were the only ones there! Like in many other hostels there is also a common room with a kitchen from which you can take what is missing in your room kitchen (including stuff like salt, sugar that would be a shame to buy for just a couple of meals). Guests before leaving often put the food that did not eat there and it's free for you to take.
the kitchen in the room has very limited facilities. ONE pan, TWO dishes, TWO knives and forks, TWO glasses and that's all. You can take what you need from the common kitchen if you bring it back clean but how can you do that if they do not provide a sponge nor dish soap? The hostel is located in 4 different buildings so you have to go outside and cross the road for anything you need! The swimming pool and the sauna have timetables that are way to strict to be useful and have different times for men and women. The wi-fi is only in the common room and i couldn't connect because (i think) there were too many people on-line. Internet in the room is only via cable so if you have a tablet pc forget it.
Location is good and stuff was friendly and helpful.
The hostel is like a student house where you will hear all of your neighbors. The rooms a very simple and boring, it is not the best choice if you want a bit to enjoy your stay.
Location - near to all the sights and no need to use transport!!! If you have a limited budget then this is the place otherwise a hotel!!!!
Very basic indeed. Not much in the way of a kitchen but the bathroom was excellent. Reception always busy and therefore I did not ask any questions because of the waiting!!!!
Great location close to sea and city center. Simple but clean.
No kitchen accesories, glasses, mugs, plates and other in the room and poor selection of it in main "kitchen" at reception in the other bulding.
The staff at the front desk were very friendly, accommodating and willing to help with whatever inquiries were brought to their attention. Good location, close to two main shopping centres.
The room smelt a bit strange upon first entering. The room itself was very large, but the bed extremely small and stiff. Was not cleaned at all my entire stay there, aside from once or twice when the garbage was emptied but the bed was not made. The room was EXTREMELY warm at night, which made sleeping quite difficult. The most inconvenient issue was that wifi is not available in rooms and if you are staying in another building, it is necessary to walk to the main building to use the hostels wifi, as internet connection is only available by cord if you have brought a laptop.
Location, staff was good
When we arrived the room was very dirty. The beds were really uncomfortable. The sink was clogged and there was bad smell from the toilet. In the shower there were a lot of dirty spots. It was like the room hadn´t been properly cleaned for ages! There was dirt everywhere, behind the beds, on the stove, on the walls, inside the electricity plugs etc. It would be a nice room if it was cleaned, they would change the beds and make it a bit more charming with photos on the walls etc.
Excellent location -convenient to public transport Helpful, friendly and patient staff. Sauna
Poor ventilation in the room.The window did not open very far. It was very difficult to cool the room down when temperature was above 25 C. Although our room had a kitchenette and fridge,no cups, crockery,cutlery or cooking utensils were provided. The common kitchen did not have enough items to borrow,so we had to eat out more than we wanted..
Not to far from the citycenter + Metro,- busstation nearby. Helpful staff, although only available several hours a day in this separate part of the Hostel-compound (24h-service in another part of the hostel). Spacious room with a balcony. Good refrigerator. Warm shower. (Cabled) internet.
- Several quite serious maintenance problems which couldn't be solved during the weekend. - Two internet-sockets of which one lead to a payed one with only information in Finnish.
Location Price Staff Quiet Staff spoke fairly good English
Very poor cooling and air conditioning in hot weather Room was not very clean Basic things like one towel only, pay for additional towel, in hot weather is not very good Although most staff was good one or two need customer service experience...they would simply state company policy without giving any options.
Location and service is good.
But beware of bed mattress. It stink!
Good value for money compared to other places in helsinki. Close to a good supermarket and tram line straight into centre. Nice to have some kitchen facilities
Room was very hot at night, which made it difficult to sleep. Also no shower gel which we didn't discover until late at night on our first night.
good location at the center of the city; spacious room
no wifi at the room; should have wifi at least at each building;
Good location.
They don't give you any kitchen outil, so you are forced to buy them. They don't give you extra beds, paying or not. The matresses and beds are old and not confortable. The kitchen is really small.
Big clean room
It was hot as hell, can't sleep at night. No WiFi. No soap, shampoo, one towel - need to pay for another one.
Rubbish do separate for recycle that is good. Plenty space.
No free wifi in the room. The outside light of door way doesn't work properly,it often happen in the dark when you try to open the door. No kettle but there is a cooker.
the hotel was great for me while I was on a budget.
the room was dirty but that was fine as it was also great value for money. also I am struggling to book again as there are no rooms available for me.
The place was near the city centre and was good for the money. I'd recommend it for that although City Toki was much better and even Omena is better.
The rooms look really poor although they were clean. No internet WiFi, nor TV (doesn't really matter). We had to ask for the kitchen items and the check in was not the best.
share kitchen can let people use many things to cook and other traveler will put the remainder(food, sauce,salt,oil etc) for another people who need to use. I really like this part of the hostel
no hairdryer
Conveniently located near Kamppi Metro station and bus station. Very close to the Kamppi shopping center, Regional bus terminal and tram stop. Variety of restaurants and other outlets are near by. Central railway station is 05 mins walk. Peaceful and calm atmosphere. Secure access. Room area was spacious.
Fan was missing. Computer network cable was not included but could be rented. Two pin electric jack was not included but could be rented. Balcony door could not open wide. Washroom soap & shampoo was missing.
It was nice to have a big private bathroom. Quiet neighbourhood was good too.

Announcing SMART Amp - A New Platform For Learning Anytime, Anywhere...Any Device
CALGARY, Alberta, Sept. 23, 2013 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- From the world leader in collaborative education software comes a powerful new platform designed to enhance teaching and learning experiences by simplifying how teachers, students, displays and devices come together. SMART Technologies Inc. (Nasdaq:SMT) (TSX:SMA), announces SMART amp™ collaborative learning software, a revolutionary cloud-based solution designed specifically for education. As the 'glue' that connects disparate devices, it allows for a seamless transition between learning environments, supports teachers with access to collaboration-rich resources and offers students greater opportunities to get the most from their academic journey. As web-based software, it is accessible from virtually any internet-enabled device and eliminates deployment costs associated with operating, upgrading or supporting numerous proprietary operating systems.
"SMART amp provides a significant advancement for education and demonstrates our total commitment to providing a better teaching and learning environment for students, teachers and administrators alike," says Neil Gaydon, President and CEO, SMART Technologies. "The use and cost of disparate devices on different software platforms is a serious dilemma. SMART amp collaborative learning software enables front of class displays, PC's, laptops, tablets and mobile devices to simply, seamlessly and cost effectively work together to deliver a better learning experience for everyone."
SMART is the leading provider of interactive displays worldwide and has developed exceptional insight into the needs of teachers and students. SMART amp provides teachers the flexibility to engage students in all learning modalities – from whole-class instruction to collaborative group work to individual student projects and presentations. The browser-based software also helps teachers ensure that students have a consistent collaborative learning experience no matter what SMART Board® system, PC, laptop, tablets or mobile device are available to them.
"Unlike most consumer electronics companies, SMART has over 20 years history in working directly with educators in creating solutions that support more collaborative teaching and learning practices," says Greg Estell, President, Education for SMART Technologies. "SMART amp offers robust functionality purpose built for K12. Once again, SMART is raising the bar for education in enabling teachers and students to collaborate in real time, ask and answer questions and manage documents anytime, anywhere... on any device."Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

C&C 36 Review
I purchased a C&C 36 about a year ago and em really enjoying it.
I was looking for a boat I could "beer can" race and take the family or friends out for a cruise in coastal waters. The C&C has lived up to the task.
Sailing - The boat sails well in a variety of wind and wave conditions. I've taken her our in flat and calm through green water over the bow and 30 knots and am happy every time with the boat's performance. I was surprised how well the boat handled waves with a fin keel, a much smoother ride than anitcipated. It cuts and rides rather than climbs and pounds the short, steep chop of the Chesapeake. When you find the groove of the boat, she can compete with the best of them with plenty to fidget with if you choose.
Cruise - The cockpit and cabin are comfortable and well designed. Cabin table can be down and still allow easy passage through. Plenty of bunks. Cockpit that makes one feel comfortable on the water, even with kids, and roomy enough for 6. Tanks are a little small but we're never that far from services.
Happy to provide more info at request.

Hertz Recruited As Official Vehicle Hire Supplier For Rugby League World Cup 2013
LONDON, Feb. 25, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- The Hertz Corporation (NYSE: HTZ), the world's largest general car use brand, has signed with Rugby League World Cup 2013 (RLWC2013) as their Official Vehicle Hire Supplier. Hertz will provide a fleet of cars to carry players and officials between the tournament's matches and vans for moving equipment such as players' kit. In addition, a specially branded Hertz van will transport the iconic Rugby League World Cup trophy as it visits clubs, schools and landmarks in all of RLWC2013's host communities in the months running up to the competition. The RLWC2013 Hertz van has been launched today with the help of international players Lee Briers, Tyrone McCarthy, Richie Myler and Ben Westwood.
(Photo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20130225/NY65526)
Michel Taride, President of Hertz International, said: "We're hugely excited to be working in partnership with RLWC2013 as Official Vehicle Hire Supplier. Pairing with such a dynamic and well-respected international organization was a natural choice for us. As well as providing a fleet of cars and vans for players and officials, Hertz will be supplying a special trophy vehicle to make sure the all-important cup travels in style too."
RLWC2013 Commercial Manager, Rob Singleton, added: "We're really pleased to have Hertz on board as the Official Vehicle Hire Supplier of RLWC2013. With 14 nations playing at 21 venues the vehicles that Hertz will provide us with will effectively keep the tournament running. It's great news too that the partnership starts right away with the specially-designed Trophy Tour vehicle hitting the road to take the Rugby League World Cup trophy across the UK."
To celebrate the new partnership, Hertz and RLWC2013 are offering ticket holders a 10% discount off basic car rental for all car groups booked in the UK between now and November 30, 2013 for hire during the fixtures, which run from October 26 to November 30, 2013. The special offer can be obtained simply by visiting www.rlwc2013.com and entering the six digit discount code on display. The 10% discount applies to time and mileage (base rental charges) and all mandatory insurance and waivers that may be included in the base rental charge. Hertz standard terms and conditions apply. As part of the partnership, visitors to the RLWC2013 website ( www.rlwc2013.com) will witness a homepage takeover by Hertz this week. The Hertz brand will also be strongly profiled during the matches with large perimeter boards and match day programme advertisements. Returning to the UK for the first time since 2000, the competition is hosted by England and Wales, and competing nations include Australia, France, Ireland, Italy, the USA and current champions, New Zealand. The tournament is also widely acknowledged as an addition to Great Britain's bid for a 'Golden Decade' of British sport, alongside events such as the 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games, the 2013 Champions League Final, and the 2014 Ryder Cup. The RLWC2013 alliance is the latest addition to Hertz's international sports portfolio, with existing partnerships including The Wimbledon Lawn Tennis Championships, British MotoGP, West Bromwich Albion FC, the New Zealand International Sevens Rugby Tournament, and Melbourne Football Club.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

Gloves that stay DRY!
Why can I buy that actually keeps moisture OUT?
I always spray all my wear, boots and gloves with waterproof spray. It seems to work on everything but the gloves because they have so many seams. No matter how much I use, they are always half soaked at the end of the day. Does anything actually work? |

I was almost gonna buy a can of spray shit for $15 bucks, I googled the product while I was in the store to see if it was any good?
Turns out they're pretty much all shit. But I stumbled upon a write up of some dude who mixed clear 100% outdoor silicon caulk, with mineral spirits. Then painted on the mixture & let it dry. It works. 100% waterproof. 0% Breathable, can't have em both. I've only done 1 pair of shitty old gloves, but I've got shitty old jackets to try it out on too. For the price, ya can't beat it. Buddy started by mixing it in a bucket by hand Someone wrote in, put it in a 2 liter bottle & shake it. TT

Been using candygrind gloves and mitts for a few years now, hands stay warm and dry even in the rain and spring slush. Both are leather I just tend to stick some leather balm on them once in a while.

I like this lip gloss. My lips are naturally rosy and hard to tone down, but this gloss gives them a nice lighter sheen. It's my favorite gloss to put on in a hurry. The price is great, too. The only thing I am iffy about is the scent. I don't mind it, personally, but I get reluctant to put it on in public because the smell is pretty strong.
I love this lip gloss!!! I have used this lip gloss for more the 5 years now and I cant stop using this! I love having the look of natural looking make-up and this lip gloss look great on me. I have very pink lips and when I apply this with clear lip gloss first, then a coat of the cappuccino on my lips it has a great nude/light pink tint to it. Well thats how it looks on me. I always but this 2 at a time at Wal-Mart and it is sooo cheap! I also love the smell. I can't get enough of this lip gloss!
I wish I'd like this lip gloss like many people because it's very cheap and the color selection is quite wide. But...this lip gloss SMELLS AWFUL! I nearly fainted when I first smelled it. It's an overwhelming ultrasweet flavor that makes me sick. I don't even like the color, a frosty brownish tint that looks totally unnatural - on me, at least. I wore this twice at home, then threw it in the garbage. I would have never worn this in public, seriously. It's not even nude, I'd say :( I'm glad that some of you have not been disappointed in this lip gloss.
Color: Very light nude color, suitable for smokey eyes, could be everyday if applied very lightly
Texture: Very smooth, light, non-sticky
Scent: Smells more like butterscotch toffee to me, very sweet scent - not cappucino, but I still like it
Price: $4, probably cheaper depending on where purchased
Lasting power: Not that long b/c it's not that sticky
Overall: I would definitely recommend this lipgloss, for those who aren't crazy about this color, try the pink one or the other more brown one - the quality is great.
this is my favorite lipgloss. it's the perfect nude on my pale lips and I'm sure it would even look good on more pigmented lips. I wear this all the time because of its versatility. the texture is light and moisturizing, but the finish is still glossy. the wear is average, nothing spectacular. I've been using this gloss since elementary school and I'll probably still use it when I'm 80! oh, and it smells delicious!
♥ this stuff!!!! I have used it sinse my freshman year in high school. It is the perfect nude shade, smells amazing, and stays on nicely!! It isnt too thick or goop-y either!!! I love it!!
Love this. Smells awesome! Haha, I got this on sale for $3.99 CAD.
I think it was worth it and would totally buy it again.
I agree, the colour in the bottle is really different from when you put it on your lips :) So don't be scaried from the colour from the bottle!
I would recommend this to my friends for sure...if it's not sold out yet haha
This is the PERFECT nude lip gloss and it's really cheap! Don't be intimidated by the colour in the tube because it DOES come out lighter.
I like it because it has enough pigment to tone down my flushed lips but I won't look like a corpse (it's not opaque, some of your pink tones still show through). The colour doesn't collect in between your lip lines.
Not sticky either.
I ADORE THE SMELL. It may just be because I'm a teen...
Word of caution: it IS a pretty strong scent (everyone can smell it when you unscrew the cap :P) but it smells exactly like fresh icing (I couldn't detect any coffee scents). However, honestly it smells so good, I WANT other people to smell it too. It wasn't artificial in my opinion ...
Also, it's pretty big compared to other lip glosses, which is surprising because it's also one of the cheapest. The only con that I can think of, which doesn't even bother me, is that the applicator is a little long (because the tube is long) so it's a tad awkward.
Try it out ! It's pretty and smelling cupcake scents makes me happy
I am surprised at all the rave reviews of this. The only reason this gets a 3 is because the color is "purrfect".
Beige nude with a hint of pink. No glitter.
Otherwise, you get what you pay for- it's bonne bell.
The color barely shows up on bare lips. If you are into layering gloss with liner or lipstick the color would be more pronounced.
The staying power is junk, maybe a 1/2 hour tops.
It slips off easily, no stickiness whatsoever. If you don't like sticky glosses this is good for you. Personally I don't like having to reapply every 15 minutes.
The scent is artificial sweet, I don't smell any coffee.
Even though it's inexpensive I won't repurchase since I hardly reach for it.

'Reality' examines the dangers of celebrity worship
'Reality' has some loose ends, but actor Aniello Arena as protagonist Luciano is a live-wire presence.
Courtesy of Oscilloscope Laboratories
The adoration of celebrity is, of course, not confined to America. Neither is the desire to become one. "Reality," the new film from Italy's Matteo Garrone, is ostensibly about a working-class fishmonger with delusions of making it big on a hit reality TV series, but it casts a wide net. It's really about the ways in which celebrity worship deranges all of us. (Like Garrone's previous movie, "Gomorrah," it won the Grand Prix at the Cannes film festival.)
Garrone doesn't make the mistake of turning his protagonist, Luciano (Aniello Arena), into a bland Everyman. He never loses his singularity. He's too avid for that. A family man with a big, buzzing circle of relatives, he lives in a rundown section of Naples and runs an illegal mail-order scheme on the side.
We first see him and his brood at a wedding where he plays a cross-dressing clown, in full greasepaint, and strikes a glancing connection with the wedding host, Enzo (Raffaele Ferrante), who made it big as a contestant on the hugely popular reality TV show "Big Brother."
Pushed by his family into trying out for the show, Luciano leaves the audition in Rome believing he's a shoo-in for a callback. He convinces everybody that he's only one phone call away from fame. He tells his wife, Maria (a marvelous Loredana Simioli), that they will be "set for life, all our problems will be solved." Maria is the only hard-line skeptic in the bunch, but she's no match for Luciano's charm offensive.
Luciano is deluding himself that his imminent "Big Brother" celebrity is his apotheosis. He believes he is anointed. When the call doesn't come, he holds out anyway. His Neapolitan neighbors want a celebrity in their midst, so they become part of Luciano's not-so-grand illusion. (A wide-eyed bartender tells Luciano he's pouring him a last drink before he becomes famous.)

Central's Wiley, Southridge's Wertman capture state track and field titles
Wley wins 800, Wertman shot put
BLOOMINGTON, Ind. — Besting the competition at the Indiana girls' high school state track and field meet wasn't a problem for seniors Taylor Wiley of Central and Cassie Wertman of Southridge.
Both won state titles, Wiley by two seconds in the 800 meters and Wertman by four feet in the shot put, events where both entered as the top seeds.
But in the matter of setting records in those events, they came up short on a cool, blustery day on the Indiana University track.
"How can you be the least bit disappointed?" asked Central coach Joe Coffman. "You can't set a record unless you win. Cassie Wertman set a record in the shot last year and didn't win because it didn't last.
"But both of those girls won this year and that lasts forever. They'll always be a champion."
Wiley had a hard time getting around her time (2 minutes, 11.85 seconds) even after EVSC athletics director Paul Neidig hung the champion's medal around her neck as she stood atop the medal stand.
"I ran a better time (2:10.75) in the regional," said Wiley, who finished second and then third in the last two state meets in the 800. "That's a little hard for me. I ran slower and I feel worse physically than I did last week. I'm going to go home and go to bed."
Wiley ran the race to her liking, sprinting straight to the front and a 10-meter lead after 200 meters, never giving up a step. Still, she was having a hard time finding her smile since she missed the record (2:08.91).
"I'm glad my bad race was good enough to win," said Wiley. "And it's not about the time. It's about how my body feels right now and I feel bad. I'm hurting.
"I just keep looking at this (her champion's medal) and that does help a little. I just thought I'd run better today. I slept well last night and didn't get nervous all day. My heart didn't start pounding until I got to the line. This year was 110 percent mental for me."
Wertman said she needed a boost, too, especially after a fourth-place finish in the discus, an event she won last year.
"My dad (Kevin, her throwing coach) kind of chewed me out," she said with an impish smile. "But it kind of got me in the zone in the shot. I guess you could call it words of inspiration."
Wertman took the lead going into the shot put finals. Then she busted three throws (48 feet, 10 inches, 47-5 and 50-1.25) that were each good enough to win.
But even the last throw, one of four over 50 feet in state meet history, was not good enough to top the 50-9 Tori Bliss set last year when Wertman finished second at 50-3.
"I'm not going to let the discus ruin my day," said Wertman. "Actually, I'm pretty happy after that. I can't explain it; this just wasn't my best day."
Still, Wertman capped an outstanding career that saw her finish third, first and fourth over the last three years in the discus and sixth, second, second and first in four years in the shot put. "I guess I can feel pretty good about all that," she said.
The area produced four other medals, including two from North seniors who were both first-time medal winners. Kayla Carlile finished in a tie for eighth in the pole vault with a personal record of 11 feet, 3 inches, and sprinter Rashawnda Shamell qualified sixth for the final in the 100 and then finished ninth.
"I was hoping for more than ninth," said Shamell. "But I can't complain. I got my first medal as a senior in my last race on the track."
Said Carlile: "I wasn't too sure about the weather because I hate the cold. But it worked out and I got my PR, which is what you want to do at state."
Bosse freshman Yamani Hunter also medaled with a ninth in the long jump when she landed her best jump outdoors of the year, a 17-5.75. "I actually jumped a little better indoors early this year," said Hunter. "But my speed was good today and the competition got me going and I was able to jump with confidence."
The other medal belonged to South Knox senior Kendra Bosecker, who finished fifth in the pole vault at 11-9 after finishing sixth at 11-6 last year.
"There was a tie for third," said Bosecker. "So in my mind I finished fourth."

When Microsoft and Epic Games released Gears of War 3 last year, it brought one of the most thrilling third-person action game series to a thunderous close, with plenty of surprises and no shortage of action. But seeing as how the game was a rousing success, you just can't keep a good series down. This past week, Game Informer did a cover reveal for its July issue that indicated a new game in the series was coming...and now we know what it is. If you wish to be spoiled before Microsoft's big reveal Monday, read on.
To celebrate the launch of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 Content Collection #2, Activision enlisted NBA stars Brandon Jennings of the Milwaukee Bucks and Gordon Hayward of the Utah Jazz to go head to head in a Face Off Challenge, a special edition of the Call of Duty Grudge Match for ultimate bragging rights. Jennings and Hayward captained teams featuring development studio members, online personalities and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 fans in an intense battle before settling the final score in the all new Face Off. Hayward talks about the experience and his own gaming habits in this exclusive video interview below.
Sonic the Hedgehog has been around for years now, entertaining us with his platforming adventures on the Genesis before moving on to other platforms and, eventually, multi-system success on Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3. But the ride hasn't always been the greatest with him, thanks to lackluster efforts since Sonic Unleashed (seriously…a Werehog) and the iffy next-gen debut of Sonic the Hedgehog, where he fell for a…human girl. Ick. Anyway, that said, he did have some great games over the years…so why not count down the best?
Say what you will about how much he's dragged his feet in the past with less-than-epic adventures, but Sonic is making a comeback for the better. He's just come off a great new game with Sonic Generations, and later this year, he'll be hitting the open road yet again in the yet-to-be-confirmed Sonic & Sega All Stars Racing 2. In between those two releases, he'll wrap up his Sonic the Hedgehog 4 saga with Episode 2, set to release next month for Xbox Live and PlayStation Network.
A long time ago, before Rockstar Games got heavily involved with its Grand Theft Auto and Red Dead Redemption franchises, there was Max Payne, an Xbox/PC release that really shook things up both emotionally and with its action. The story, focusing on a cop who loses his family and goes all out to destroy enemies that get in his way, is one of the better ones in the last decade of gaming, really digging deep on the rage boiling inside him – to the point he needs painkillers just to get through each battle. After a decade, Rockstar has opted to bring the game to the iOS front, for both newer iPad and iPhone devices. And while it's quite the technical achievement, clumsy controls will leave you raging in a slightly different way.
When Orcs Must Die released last year for PC and Xbox Live Arcade, it introduced players to a solid mix of hack-and-slash action and strategy, as you had to prepare defenses for an invading swarm of goblins while also using any weapons you had on hand to cut them down to size. The game turned out to be a big hit, but Robot was disappointed that, according to their press release, "only 3.4 billion orcs have been slaughtered to date". (Well, we're SO sorry!) With that, the company is moving forward with a sequel, which will be hitting PC this summer, and hopefully consoles soon after.
When Konami released Metal Gear Solid HD Collection over the holiday season, I was thrilled by the treatment they gave the classic games. Sure, there was no sign of Metal Gear Solid, the game that started it all, but the other three – namely Peace Walker – were given the kind of respective revamping they truly deserved. It made me excited for collections to come, particularly Zone of the Enders Collection, which is coming later this year. In the meantime, here's Silent Hill HD Collection, a game that brings back two of the more popular chapters in the series, redone for today's gaming consoles. While it's sure to attract fans of survival horror, we can't help but think that the scares are coming from the wrong place.
Jennifer Hale is a long time voice actress, who has appeared on more mediums than you probably thought. From voicing big roles like Commander Shepard in the "Mass Effect" series to voicing Naomi Hunter in the "Metal Gear" Solid franchise. Her voice has made multiple jumps to TV and movies playing such roles like Disney's "Cinderella" and Cartoon Network's "Powerpuff Girls". I recently got the chance to ask her a few questions about her time with the "Mass Effect" series and what the future lies ahead for voice acting.
What is it with old-school arcade revivals this year? First The Simpsons Arcade Game made a comeback on both Xbox Live and PlayStation Network, entertaining a whole new generation of gamers without the need to break out a roll of quarters. Now THQ is hitting the wrestling ring with a remake of WWE Wrestlefest, a game that originally body slammed into arcades back in '91 under Technos' direction. And just like it did back then, Wrestlefest promises to be button-mashing fun.
Sony has developed an acquired taste for remade high definition classics, hasn't it? Tomb Raider, two God of War collections, Sly Cooper, Prince of Persia...and while we wait frenetically for the Ratchet and Clank collection (c'mon, make it happen), we have Naughty Dog's Jak and Daxter Collection to pass the time with. And while a few of you may have missed out on the antics of this duo back on the PS2, there's no better time to catch up with them than the present.
If there's a company that has proven that old-school games do big business, it's Konami. A few years back, it brought back the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles arcade game to Xbox Live, attracting a whole new crowd to the old-school beat-em-up antics, complete with online play. And last year, it continued to capitalize on such success with the enjoyable X-Men: The Arcade Game. Next week, it'll be back once more with the long-overdue -- and highly requested -- The Simpsons Arcade. And yes, it's officially coming, at least from what Sony says.
In its early days, THQ was best known as a kids game maker working with brands from Nickelodeon and Disney based on Hollywood TV shows and movies. But the Hollywood licensing business has dried up with the higher costs of development and the advances of smartphones and tablets (where those licenses still thrive). THQ isn't exiting the games business, as had been rumored a few weeks ago. Instead, the game company is exiting the kids games business in favor of successful franchises like Saints Row.
It's inevitable. The game industry likes to thrive with new technology, whether it's a new handheld like the Nintendo 3DS and PlayStation Vita, or a new hardware system that introduces an innovative new way to play. With the Wii U ramping up for release this year, both Microsoft and Sony are thinking hard about their next systems, and today we've run across rumors of what the big "M" will have in mind for its hardware. Our only concern is that they might be rushing things...
Tecmo's Ninja Gaiden III is just about ready to make a killing this spring, with Ryu Hayabusa returning to do what he does best -- slice bad guys into sashimi. To commemorate the upcoming game, Tecmo Koei has announced that it will be making a special collector's edition being offered exclusively through Gamestop, jam-packed with fresh ninja goodness...and a Dead Or Alive surprise.
The bitter break-up between Rock Band developer Harmonix and the game's publishing arm at Viacom has been a messy one. Following the somewhat expensive development of The Beatles Rock Band (due to licensing) and the release of Rock Band 3, Viacom unceremoniously dumped the developer, who purchased themselves back for $50. Ever since, the companies have been battling back and forth over payments due over the series' release and royalties. But it looks like the final decision could be leaning in Harmonix's favor...
When it came out earlier this year, DiRT 3 really defined what rally racing in video games should be all about. Chock full of dozens of events, online interaction and some of the best presentation ever packed into a driving game, it really did quite well for Codemasters. So, of course, the company is looking to capitalize with yet another entry in the series. But DiRT 4 this ain't -- it's time for a showdown.
Zen Studios has been on a roll in 2011, with the release of several pinball tables for both Zen Pinball and Pinball FX 2, namely the Marvel Pinball tables. But this holiday season, it's continuing to build on its reputation by releasing a quartet of new tables. Coming next week, Marvel Pinball: Vengeance and Virtue will give you four more reasons to flip out -- and for moderately cheap.
Anyone remember the old days of role-playing games? We're talking about the classic PS1 era where the likes of Square Soft and other developers made some truly remarkable stuff. Well, if you do, you might recall a company called Working Designs, who worked their magic on a number of Japanese favorites, localizing them with their own special flavor. Well, good news. Even though the company's long gone, one of their better products lives on as a PlayStation Network download, courtesy of MonkeyPaw Games.
PlayStation imports are a gamble sometimes. On one end, you have such awesome releases as Capcom's Mega Man games or the underrated futuristic brawler Cyberbots. On the other, you have the man-centric shooter Cho Aniki (seriously, too many thongs) and some weird-ass cooking game. But once in a while, you get a game that actually serves a purpose. Dezaemon Kids! does just that, not only giving you a variety of shoot-em-ups to try, but also the ability to create your own.
Sony has become known as of late to release a series of high-definition collections for the PlayStation 3, including a pair of God of War games and the Sly Cooper games, as well as Ico and Shadow of the Colossus. Well, chalk up three more PS2 favorites that are coming to the system this February, as the company has officially announced that Jak and Daxter Collection is on the way.
When Konami released Zombie Apocalypse for download a couple of years ago, it brought forth an interesting – if somewhat limited – arena shooting game where the goal was to stay alive while battling hordes of the undead. The sequel, Never Die Alone, expands on that with bigger areas and some personality-laden characters, benefiting as a result – even if it is still limited in the long run.
Valve Software has always been a company with some great ideas under its belt. And yeah, even though it can't quite count to three yet on its most beloved franchise, Half-Life, there's no question that Portal 2 is a contender for Game of the Year. Well, it's about to get even better, as the company has announced a robust new addition to its sequel set for release early next year -- one that'll involve the community even more than ever before.

Hi All, I have recently moved from the US to Europe. I have a RAZR MAXX (Verizon-US) running Jelly Bean 4.1.2. I wish to install a custom ROM that has at least these two languages, English and Greek. I would also prefer to stay on JB if possible. I look forward to suggestions on which ROMs fit this criteria that I can install. Thanks in advance
Here ya go, my stock JB 4.1.2 ROM http://www.droidforums.net/forum/droid-razr-roms/234162-rom-cdma-stock-bdh-jb-v2-0-12-31-2012-a.html
Well it definitely has English. Not sure about Greek honestly. Sent from my DROID RAZR using Tapatalk 2
Hi, I appreciate the link, but I already have the original 4.1.2 and it didn't include Greek. Did you add anything that might make that possible? Also, installation failed. Is that because the Android versions are the same?

Many new constraints for Bush on the environment
Congress and US courts have hit the administration with a series of policy setbacks – on greenhouse-gas emissions, strip mining, and logging.
Ashland, Ore.
The Bush administration is taking more flak for its environmental policies from Congress, federal courts, official government watchdog agencies, and the court of public opinion. One probable outcome: It will be more difficult for President Bush, with less than two years left in office, to push environmental policy in the direction he wants.
Federal courts have recently blocked or changed administration policies regarding forest management and the strip mining of coal. In response to the US Supreme Court's global warming ruling last week, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has been forced to allow states to proceed with efforts to regulate greenhouse-gas emissions from motor vehicles.
In another administration setback, the Interior Department's inspector general (IG) reported recently that a senior political appointee there – an official without training in the natural sciences – rewrote the conclusions of US Fish & Wildlife Service scientists regarding endangered species and critical habitat. Interior's official watchdog also confirmed that the appointee sent internal documents to industry lobby-ists, in violation of federal rules. "Policy trumps science on many occasions," said one Interior lawyer in his statement to the IG.
While these charges are likely to result in no more than a rhetorical spanking by Democrats, who now control powerful congressional committees, other friends of the administration are snarled in legal charges regarding environmental issues.
In late March, J. Steven Griles, the former second in command at Interior and now an oil and gas lobbyist, pleaded guilty in federal court to obstruction of justice in lying to the Senate about his relationship with convicted lobbyist Jack Abramoff.
Last week, the head of an advocacy group supportive of Bush administration environmental policies was told by investigators that she is a prosecution target in the corruption inquiry involving Mr. Abramoff, who urged clients to donate to the group in return for access to Interior officials. Italia Federici – who formed the Council of Republicans for Environmental Advocacy, along with former Interior Secretary Gale Norton and Grover Norquist, head of Americans for Tax Reform – reportedly faces up to five charges.
