Andre Ward rolls over Edwin Rodriguez – ESPN.com
Believe it or not, Ward came into this fight off a serious shoulder injury, subsequent surgery and a 14-month layoff. Yet there was no sign of ring rust and Ward was absolutely brilliant in his sixth title defense, a one-sided humiliation of Rodriguez, who looked like an amateur.

Masterful performance by the economical Andre Ward, who landed 41% of his total punches (18 of 44 per round- 168 lb avg: 17 of 55); 42% of his jabs (7 of 17 per round- 168-lb avg: 5 of 24) and 41% of his power shots (11 of 27- 168 lb avg: 12 of 31).

Ward's utter domination of a legitimate challenger was particularly impressive for at least two reasons. One, Ward he had the long layoff because of surgery to repair an injured right shoulder. He showed no rust, landing hard, accurate punches throughout and taking very few shots himself to win a near-shutout decision. He appeared to be at his best.

I have 6 kids, the youngest three take FOREVER to eat and the oldest three are done 30 seconds after we pray. So I am going to make a bowl of questions that we can choose from and put on the table. That way we are encouraged to set around and enjoy talking.
I need your help to come up with some questions?
How 'bout these:
-If you could have been the inventor of one "big" invention, what would it have been? (i.e electricity, the wheel, fire, etc.)
-If you could be any animal, what would you be? (My cousin recently asked this of an interviewee...ha!!)
One of our favorite things to do is "Roses and Thorns"...everyone gets a chance to say what their Rose (good thing) and Thorn (bad thing) of the day was! It's great for learning about taking turns and being good listeners!
How about "why does it take you so long to eat?" JUST KIDDING!!! My youngest is a slllllooooooowwwwwww eater too. :)
We play games at the table -- who can spell... (I think of really difficult words throughout the day). Who knows the capital of.... Good school review at the dinner table.
Oooh...I always go around the table, and EVERYONE has to tell
the family 3 things about their day. It can be anything -
from what they ate first at lunch to who they sat with on the
bus. Even myself and Hubby have to join in....it usually
takes up the entire dinner, (until the last person has gne EVERYONE
must stay) and its great to hear about everyone's day!
Love the 3 things idea! I love that it encourages kids to talk AND you hear about their day!
I welcome discussions of any kind...and disagreements in view points. I just ask that you please be respectful and kind when disagreeing!

No one likes a freeloader. Count Michigan teachers among that number. As more public school teachers exercise their rights to leave the union, some of their colleagues are displeased. They believe it's unfair to share the good benefits they paid for with those who withhold their dues.
But is it unfair? Current Michigan law — even with right to work — says public sector workers under a union contract still cannot represent themselves.
This is known as exclusive or monopoly representation. That means workers who leave a union are still subject to the contract negotiated by that union. So these so-called freeloaders don't have a choice.
That changes the conversation.
The 24 states with right to work are grappling with this issue of fairness. Patrick Semmens, vice president of the National Right to Work Foundation, says there's not a lot of precedent in the public sector for solutions.
The National Labor Relations Board specifies that members-only bargaining is acceptable in the private sector, but states set public sector rules. Yet members-only agreements, which allow for a union to bargain on behalf of only dues-paying employees, are rare since unions prefer to represent all workers.
"It's power they want to yield," Semmens says. A few right-to-work states, such as Virginia and North Carolina, have also banned collective bargaining for public employees. So that means existing unions become much more like lobbying organizations.
That's not likely to happen in Michigan. But if the state ends the exclusive representation provision, Semmens thinks that could be beneficial. For instance, schools could offer a range of contracts to teachers.
Semmens says the outrage over the "unfairness" is somewhat contrived. "Teacher unions very much want exclusive monopoly representation," he says.
The issue may come to a head soon in Michigan if lawmakers introduce legislation under consideration that would eliminate exclusive representation for public-sector workers. A bill is expected within a few months.
David Hecker, president of the American Federation of Teachers-Michigan, has advocated to keep exclusivity clauses because he says the union cares about all workers. The union also gains influence with numbers.
But the unions can't have it both ways — if they don't like freeloaders, they can't also block measures to allow those who opt out of the union to represent themselves.

Row over safety of U-turns in Barkingside street (From East London and West Essex Guardian Series)

Political row re-emerges over petition not to ban controversial u-turn
Updated 8:58am Tuesday 14th January 2014 in News By Natalie Glanvill, Reporter - Waltham Forest
A political row has broken out over calls to ban drivers from performing U-turns in a Barkingside street.
For 40 years motorists have been performing the manoeuvre in Clayhall Avenue to avoid a detour to South Woodford.
And during that time councillors representing Clayhall ward have pushed for the manoeuvre to be banned for safety reasons.
But Roding ward councillors, who represent people living on the Hill Farm Estate, in Southend Road, Woodford Green, many of whom use the road as a cut through to South Woodford, have launched a petition to allow the manoeuvres to continue.
The petition is supported by staff from the Roding Hospital and the Woodford Trading Estate, and has been signed by more than 400 people.
However chairwoman of the Clayhall Conservative Action Team and former Roding ward councillor Hazel Weinberg hit out at the petition. In her blog post, she wrote: 'The Liberal Democrats in a different ward have submitted a petition to the council to allow U-turns, putting convenience before safety.
"Their objection is that they have to drive to the Longwood Gardens roundabout and turn round – a matter of a couple of minutes."
And Clayhall councillor Alan Weinberg said the Roding ward councillors were being "inconsiderate of the serious danger motorists are causing" in tailbacks and to pedestrians and residents.
He added: "If (Roding ward councillor) Ian Bond wants to wait for someone to be killed to make a point over safety, then that is his view, not mine."
However Cllr Bond refuted Cllr Weinberg's claim that it takes a couple of minutes and said the round trip to get back onto Southend Road takes just under 10 minutes in light traffic.
Cllr Bond said enforcing a ban would create a "considerable inconvenience" for Hill Farm residents and said there is "no proof of any serious accidents" and "this is not a road safety issue".
The issue is currently being assessed by bosses from Transport for London.

It has got to be so bad now that rather than wait in the queue in Clayhall Avenue, some motorists turn off at Wensleydale Avenue, proceed through Marston Road, Roding Lane North (where residents complain about the extra traffic) into Southend Road and back into Clayhall Avenue to perform that very U-Turn. Madness.

LONDON 17th April, 2012 – Today Ink, the world leader in media that connects with travellers, has announced that it will be dramatically changing the way it incentivises its global sales teams. Through its new 'Iceberg Thinking' approach, which tackles behavioural issues below the surface, Ink will guarantee its sales teams and leaders' commissions based on behavioural KPIs and not the traditional revenue and sales targets.
This revolutionary new approach will address the behaviours that lie beneath each media sale and not just reward the end result. Ink's new structure will remove the risk for sales people as long as they focus on, perform and deliver the correct behaviours which will be the basis for delivering strong performance results. This is a win-win situation. As before, the teams will be remunerated on the sales they make, but only if they have sold it properly. Additionally, if the teams fulfil the sales process, Ink will guarantee to remunerate them even if those commitments do not lead to business or sales.
"This is a complete departure from the industry's traditional commission based sales structure and it has the potential to revolutionise the way media sales are managed and rewarded in the future," said Simon Leslie, Head of Publishing at Ink. "We firmly believe in our culture and supporting our people to perform to the very best levels that they can. The new emphasis will be on delivering exceptional customer service across the globe and ensuring our sales teams focus on helping our advertising customers to grow their businesses."
The sales teams will receive guaranteed commission based on each of them delivering an agreed minimum daily commitment that will reflect the number of quality calls made to a decision maker. They will also be tasked with delivering a value sales proposition rather than a commodity sales approach. To emphasise the change in KPIs for commission, Ink is also scrapping its traditional 12-monthly targets in favour of 26-fortnightly targets. This is based on "Millionsecondthinking". A million seconds runs from Monday morning to the following week Friday afternoon and in future all Ink sales tasks will be linked to this timeframe.
Gerry Ricketts, Managing Director of Ink Singapore explains; "We have found, through our experience, that in business the task expands to fill the time we have allocated to achieve it. By changing the way we manage our time, we will raise the bar in our people's performances and the level of customer service we deliver. We have installed huge million second clocks in each of our offices to remind our teams that time is precious and good time management is needed to succeed."
Ink is recruiting across all its offices including Atlanta, London, New York and Singapore. However, the company is looking for very specific people that buy into the company culture and who want to be challenged and developed.
"We are looking for exceptional candidates," continued Leslie. "We want people who are passionate about delivering a five-star customer experience and who want to realise their performance potential. We are looking for bright, clever and creative leaders. And in return, Ink promises to share its "Happinkess and dreams" initiatives which help staff fulfil some of their life's dreams and goals as well as provide an exciting and challenging work environment."

WINSTON-SALEM — Saturday's fourth quarter may not break N.C. State's season or make Wake Forest's season. It may just feel that way to fans of both teams who saw - or nearly saw - some of their worst fears realized on the field.
For N.C. State, a disjointed passing game and porous defense combined to gift-wrap Wake Forest a 21-point lead early in the second quarter. Everything the Wolfpack got away with in a lackluster opening win over Liberty did significant damage in Saturday's 34-27 loss.
As for the Demon Deacons, visions of last week's fourth-quarter collapse at Syracuse were all too real as the clock ticked down Saturday. An 0-2 start, after leading both games by two touchdowns in the fourth quarter, is the stuff of locker-room implosions - especially for a team that had won only four of its previous 19 games. Wake needed this one, and needed it badly.
"We weren't going to let one game ruin our season," Wake quarterback Tanner Price said.
They didn't, breaking up a fourth-down pass with 95 seconds to play and sending N.C. State home from Winston-Salem without a win for the fifth straight time. More than that, the Demon Deacons avoided what would have been a soul-sapping loss.
"You could sense the importance that they felt down the stretch of not letting it slip away," Wake Forest coach Jim Grobe said. "It wasn't pretty, and we'll probably be mad at the defense when we get them in practice on Monday, but right now we're going to enjoy it."
If Grobe thinks his defense is going to hear about it, his bark may be a lullaby compared to what Tom O'Brien has planned for his defense this week.
It didn't help that three defensive linemen are injured, leaving the Wolfpack with only a pale facsimile of a pass rush. But even with that qualification, the linebackers and secondary have to play better than this.
"We haven't played defense like this in God knows how long," O'Brien said.
It wasn't that long: Two years ago, N.C. State couldn't stop anyone, with a defense ravaged by injuries left with what was essentially the scout team. The Wolfpack lost 30-24 at Wake that season, with Russell Wilson throwing an interception in the end zone to seal it for Wake.
It wasn't an interception but a drop that snuffed the N.C. State rally Saturday. George Bryan, the first-team preseason all-ACC tight end, dropped what would have been a first-down catch on what turned out to be N.C. State's final third down.
"I dropped one ball out there that I definitely should have caught," Bryan said. "That was in a big situation. ... It definitely showed today that there are some people - it could be myself - who just aren't working hard enough, and we have to fix it."
There were other drops - too many other drops - but that one hurt as much as any, especially considering whose hands failed the Wolfpack.
O'Brien criticized the concentration of his receivers, and quarterback Mike Glennon apologized for a few throws that were behind the target, but the drops collectively epitomized the lack of focus that left the Wolfpack playing from behind all afternoon.
"We've got a lot of work to do and I'm going to make sure we get it done, starting this week," O'Brien said. "We have a lot of games to play and lots of good players on this team. Some of these guys need to wake up. This isn't last year."
It's a new year and a new season. Two games into it, while N.C. State is feeling only frustration, Wake Forest is feeling only relief.

Junior calls Martin a wimp and other Daytona notes
By admin | July 6, 2008
By Richard Allen
It did not take long for all the good feeling over Mark Matin's announcement that he was coming to Hendrick Motorsports to wear off.
Late in the going of the Coke Zero 400 Dale Earnhardt, Jr. complained to his spotter that Martin was not giving him enough of a push. "Mark's wimping out on meâ€, Junior insisted.
In reality, of course, these type comments happen often during restrictor plate races among teammates, former teammates, future teammates and drivers who have never been nor ever will be teammates. Drivers are constantly looking for a bigger push from the guy behind them and get mad when they do not get it.
However, the irony of the moment was not lost after the weekend of good feeling.
Junior wound up 8th while Martin finished 10th.
Jimmie Johnson looked like the Jimmie Johnson of old. The Jimmie Johnson who was often criticized by other drivers for his driving style on restrictor plate tracks, that is.
On virtually every pit stop the driver of car #48 very aggressively shot across the width of pit road and on more than one occasion forced other drivers into the grass, including teammate Jeff Gordon.
At one time Johnson fell to the back of the pack, thinking he had a flat tire. This coming as a result of contact with eventual winner Kyle Busch when the two touched as Johnson tried to slam the door on Busch.
Johnson was eventually involved in a late race crash and finished 23rd.
Yates Racing had a good night go bad in a hurry at Daytona.
David Gilliland was having a great run in the Coke Zero 400, running well into the Top 5 and looking very much like a contender for the win.
Unfortunately, he crashed along with Ryan Newman and Denny Hamlin.
Gilliland finished 40th.
Travis Kvapil also seemed to be on his way to a solid finish. He too ran in the Top 10 at times during the night. He was also involved in a crash.
Kvapil finished 31st.
Jeff Burton got lucky once, but not twice.
He was involved in a rare restrictor plate spin in which he did not hit anything very hard, only sustaining minor damage as he sailed through the infield grass.
However, the second time around he was not so lucky. His car was heavily damaged in a later crash. He finished 37th which dropped him to 3rd in the overall standings 202 points behind leader Kyle Busch.
It was an unfortunate but appropriate ending for Casey Mears in the Coke Zero 400. He was caught up in an accident which resulted in a 34th place finish. This coming on the same weekend in which everyone on his current team seemed all too happy to welcome his soon to be replacement, Mark Martin, to the team.

I agree with the Jimmy Johnson being an idiot article. The rest is pretty much garbage though.

I heard the radio when Jr. said Mark was wimping out on him. Thought it was petty coming from Jr, before the rest of you get fighting mad I am a Jr. fan. I was disappointed in Jr. for saying that. Mark was only doing what the rest of the drivers were doing, trying to get a win for them selves.

Mark Martin is a wimp. It's about time somebody said it.

Martin is a wimp, if he wasn't he would have won multiple titles over the years.
Mark is a class act, but out on the track he's too nice.

racchette (tennis racquet pasta)--where to buy?
I live in NJ and englewood shop rite carries the de cecco version. A few minutes over the bridge. Also, ,jerry's in Englewood might have this item (I would presume you can phone them to inquire). I would find it hard to believe you could not locate this item in NYC-whether it be Fairway, Eataly, Chelsea Mkt or Court St in Bklyn. I'm sure you can 'ace' this assignment.

Decant sugary scents include white, dark, mint and orange chocolate, making the nail polish removal process a yummy treat for your hands and senses. The ammonia-free removers aim to gently remove colors while Vitamins E and B5 work to condition and nourish nails. The removers currently retail for $16 each online.

Glowing Nails For Fall: Ciaté Corrupted Neon Review
Last week I took a yoga class at the gym and when the lights dimmed, I couldn't help but notice the nails of the girl next to me glowed in the dimly lit room, and I was obsessed. So, this week I happily tested out Ciaté's Corrupted Neons Manicure Set, which not only gives you glow-in-the-dark nails, but an oh-so-pretty sparkling manicure for the daytime. Here are the steps to get glowing nails using the kit:
Step 1: Remove the bottles from the kit and admire the cute little bow on the polish.
For this review, I used Foam Party which includes:
– 0.45 oz Paint Pots Nail Polish in Boom Box
– 0.45 oz Caviar Pearls in Foam Party
– Mini Black Light Topcoat
Step 2: Apply a clear base coat to nails and allow it to dry completely.
Step 3: Apply two heavy coats of the base color.
Step 4: While nails are still wet, sprinkle the caviar pearls over nails generously, as pictured below.
Step 5: Shake off the excess, and repeat on all nails until done.
I received tons of compliments on neon glitter texture of my nails, and this week, when I returned to the gym, I was the one with glowing nails.
The Ciaté Corrupted Neons Manicure Set is available in 4 shades for $25 at Sephora.com.

Illamasqua's UV Nail Varnish in Séance
A few weeks ago I told you about the launch of Illamasqua's new Paranormal collection, which features a variety of products with bold hues and unexpected textures. Amongst the new collection are four high-impact limited edition nail varnishes, which look great alone, but under UV light, emit a bright glow for stand-out nails. This week I tested out the UV Glow Nail Varnish in SÉANCE (Paranormal bright violet).
What I like: The color glides on smoothly, making the application virtually mistake proof. Within a matter of minutes my nails were dry so the fact that I was able to paint my nails with a gorgeous color, and run out the house in under an hour is a huge plus. The high shine finish gives you a salon-quality manicure, and the subtle hint of shimmer is playful, without being overdramatic. Séance is also the perfect shade of purple, which is perfect for daytime, but still dramatic enough to complement any nighttime look.
How much is it: $17.00
Where to buy: Sephora or Illamasqua.com
Spring Floral 3-D Nails
Unless you've been hiding under a rock, you know that floras are in this Spring. My sister recently got her nails done, and her nail artist came up with the below design. I love the different colors, patterns and materials used to create the look. What do you think about it?
Halloween Nail Art From Illamasqua
My favorite time of year is coming up in a few short days- Halloween! This blog was founded on that spooktacular holiday two years ago, and what better way to get in the spirit than to make sure that our nails are painted with creative Halloween designs.
British beauty brand Illamasqua's US Nail Art Ambassador Fleury Rose came up with three DIY nail art designs, featuring Illamasqua's highly pigmented, long-wearing Nail Varnishes. Below are the step-by-step instructions on how you can get the looks.
Evil Eye
Illamasqua products used: Nail Varnish in Scorn, Scorch and Serenity (top coat optional)
Tools needed- Dotting tool, tooth pick
1. After applying base coat, paint nails with two coats of Scorn black matte polish. Allow nails to dry for 3-5 minutes
2. Pour out a small amount of scorch onto tin foil. Dip the large end of a dotting tool into white polish and dot onto nail. Repeat step 3 times on each nail. (Pro tip: if polish gets stringy, pour a fresh puddle of Scorn onto foil and continue process.) Allow white dots to dry 3-5 minutes.
3. Pour a small puddle of Serenity onto foil. With the small end of a dotting tool dip into rubber blue polish and dot in the very center of each white circle. Repeat on each nail. Allow to dry 3-5 minutes
4. Dip the point of a tooth pick into Scorn and gently dot a tiny black point into the center of each eye.
5. After drying add optional top coat for a shiny finish, or stay matte.
Vampire's Kiss
Illamasqua products used: Nail Varnish in Aorta and Boosh, Precision ink in Scribe
1. After applying Base coat, paint nails with two coats of Aorta and let dry 3-5 minutes
2. Dip small brush in Boosh, and paint a tiny triangle at the top of the nail. This will create the bow of the lips.
3. Next, paint an oval shape in the center of the red nail to create the opening of the mouth.
4. Allow to dry for 5 minutes (Pro tip: Allowing polish to dry before drawing on nail is very important, or you may smudge the whole thing and ruin your design!)
5. Draw on fangs and lip highlight with Precision ink in Scribe. Precision ink can be layered over its-self to create desired opacity of white.
6. Allow precision ink to dry 3-5 minutes and apply Top Coat.
Witching Hour
Illamasqua products used: Nail Varnish in Phallic, DWS, Scorch and Blow
Tools needed- Small brush, disposable makeup sponge
1. After applying Base Coat, Apply one thick coat of Phallic. (Pro tip: Do not worry about getting this layer completely even, it will add dimension to the sky we are creating!) 2. Allow this layer to dry 3-5 minutes. Dip the small brush in Blow and create a tiny crescent moon. Next dot on very tiny stars with the tip of the brush.
3. Allow to dry at least 5 minutes.
4. Pour out a small puddle of Scorch, then a small puddle of DWS next to it so they are touching.
5. Dip the corner of your makeup sponge into the polish so you get a little of each color on the sponge. Gently dab on clouds.
6. Allow to dry 3-5 minutes, and apply Top Coat.
OPI Nail Polish Nicki Minaj Collection – Did It On 'Em
Recently, I attended an outdoor wedding and wanted to pain my nails a color that would truly evoke the summer sunshine and outside colors, so I choose OPI Nail Polish Nicki Minaj Collection – Did It On 'Em. I got this shade for free at a press event I attended a few months back, and have been waiting for the perfect event that I would be able to wear it to. The polish is a cross between a lime and a lemon. In bright lightning, it looks very yellow, but under darker lights, it appears neon green. If you could mix the color of the green leaves from the trees with the yellow sun beam from the sky, then this is it in a bottle.
The color goes on a little sloppy, since the consistency is watery. I actually did a double take to make sure this was in fact an OPI nail polish, since it seemed substandard to other polishes within the line that I've tried in the past. Even with a steady hand, I felt like the polish was working against me. It took a least three coats before the color was vibrant and opaque, but once it dried, I loved the high shine finish.
Overall impression:
You need a lot of patience to use this color. It's very messy to work with, so go slowly, start with the middle, and work your way out. It took FOREVER to dry. Ten minutes after I applied the polish, I touched it and was left with a fingerprint seal on my nail, so it might be beneficial to use a quick dry spay such as OPI Nail Colour Quick Dry Spray, $12.00 at sephora.com.
Once the color dried it was bright and luminous. It will instantly energize any outfit, and makes your nails stand out. 3/4 stars.
Product Review: Caviar Manicure
I simply adore the hot new caviar nails trend. Adding little beads reminiscent of caviar adds a 3-dimiessional look to your nails, and is able to be chic without making you look like you work for a circus. This week my sister purchased Ciaté Caviar Manicure™. There are three different head-turning color combos to choose from, and she selected the nail polish in Strawberry Milkshake (opaque pale pink) that comes with Caviar Pearls in Rainbow ($25 at sephora.com).
The nail kit comes with easy to follow instructions. Here are the steps:
1. Apply a base coat.
2. Paint over the base coat with the Strawberry Milkshake nail color.
3. While the nail polish is still wet, sprinkle the pearlescent beads on top of the nails (you need to work very quickly, before the polish dries). We found the best way to do this is to pour the beads directly onto the nails from the bottle, with a small tray underneath to catch the excess.
4. Apply a top coat over the manicure for a long-lasting finish.
What we liked:
- The charming little bow on the nail polish makes the bottle very attractive and stand out on our beauty table – I think it would make a cute gift.
- The kit comes with a small funnel, which allowed us to easily pour unused beads back into the bottle.
- The nails did look professionally done, and my sister received tons of compliments when she went to work the next day.
- There are a variety of different ways you can war the look. You can cover the entire nail with the beads, just apply to the tips, or come up with your own design.
What we didn't like:
- The Strawberry Milkshake polish was as runny as an actual milkshake. It didn't go on smoothly and has a very loose consistency.
- As soon as we applied the top-coat, the colors of the beads began to smear.
- Hours after the manicure, the beads began to fall off. By the end of day 2, it looked like a greedy little kid had picked all the sprinkles off of a cupcake and left behind the evidence of little colored stains.
Overall impression: The base polish seems very cheap and is too watery. I would recommend trying the look with a different polish. I think it's a great option to use a few hours before going out, when you want to wow everyone with glamorous nails. Just be careful when you wave hello to your friends, a bead might dislodge and land in their eye.
Ready to Go Nude this Summer?
It's official, nude nails (aka foundation nails), are hot in 2012. Flesh-tone nails were prevalent on the runways of Fall 2012 Fashion Week, but made an even stronger appearance on the runways of Spring 2012. It's a very easy-to-wear tread, often seen on Kate Middleton, but, as much as I am a fan of this chic nail trend, I have my hesitations. Why? Because the right way to wear this new craze is to choose a color that most resembles your natural skin tone, which, in turn, makes you look like you have plastic doll hands. Now, don't get me wrong, I love Barbie, but I've never been a fan of her nails. Something about her corpse-like missing fingernails has always tormented me to the point that I started stealing my mom's red nail polish to give every doll I owned the manicure they desperately needed. So, the best way to upgrade this trend is to do what Barbie would do (if she had nails) – add some sparkle.
Here's what I used to get the look:
Konad Image Plate M57
Konad Double Sided Stamp Set
Sephora by OPI Base Coat
Sally Hansen Diamond Strength Nail Polish: Duchesse Lace*
Essie Nail polish in Licorice
Sally Hansen Hard as Nails, Clear
Small rhinestones
*This color has been discontinued. You can use OPI Did You 'Ear About Van Gogh? as an alternative, or your favorite shade of nude nail polish.
Step 1: Begin by using a base coat to smooth out and protect nails.
Step 2: Apply 1-2 layers of nude nail polish and wait for nails to completely dry.
Step 3: With black nail polish, use the Konad Double Sided Stamp Set to imprint the basket weave design located on Konad's Image Plate M57. The instructions on how to do this come with the kit and are very easy to follow. Basically, you put nail polish directly over the design, and use the scraper to rub of excess nail polish. Then, you roll the stamp over the design, and gently roll the stamp onto your nail. Trust me; it's a lot easier than it sounds!
Step 4: After the black nail design dries, apply a top coat, which will also serve as your "glue" for the rhinestones. Quickly add the rhinestones individually on each nail.
Step 5: Finish with a coating of nail hardener for a long lasting manicure.
Nude nails are great because they go well with almost every outfit, and you don't have to go see a professional manicurist if you want to update the look from bland to glam. All you need is a little bit of creativity and the right tools, and your nails will look amazing.
Floral Arrangements for your Nails
For my vacation, my sister decided send me off in style – with fabulous nails. Since I'm going to a tropical island, I wanted a light color that reminded me of the sky or the ocean, so we chose Sephora by OPI in Natural Environ-mint. This was the same color we used when we re-created the Sephora by OPI Cherry Blossom Nail Design a few months ago. Click here to read that post.
In addition to a tropical color, I also wanted flowers, so we used the Konad Image Plate M3 along with the Konad Stamping Nail Art kit to create a floral pattern. Here are the steps to get the look.
1. Apply a base coat. We used Sephora by OPI base coat nail polish.
2. Apply the nail color. Test out any color you like. Coral is this season's hottest new color, so you can give that a try is you're not crazy about the blue.
3. Use the Konad Stamping Nail Art kit along with the plate m3. The kit comes with instructions on how to use it. But, basically all you do is apply nail polish to the design, scrape of the excess, use the rubber stamp to pick up the design, and stamp it onto your nail.
4.Apply a top coat over the design for extra staying power. We used Konad's Top Coat.
5. Just for a little extra jazz (i love anything that blings), we added silver nail polish in the center of each flower. We used Kiss Brush-on Nail Art in SPA10.
5. We finished it off with Sally Hansen's Hard as Nails hardener, which can also be worn alone to protect nails from breakage.

Sephora by OPI Cherry Blossom Nail Design
This post was actually a family affair. My sister re-created the OPI Cherry Blossom Nail Design originally curated by nail-artist Sophy Robson, and my mom was our hand model.
Sephora recommends that you use the color Havana Dreams for this look, but we tried Natural Environ-Mint ($9.50), which is a very similar pale-blue color, and it worked perfectly! Havana Dreams is just slightly darker and is described as sheer pale sky blue. Natural Environ-Mint is a little lighter and is described as opaque celadon blue. You can use whichever one you want, or even your own favorite light blue nail polish.
This is Sephora's version of the Cherry Blossom Nail design:
After following the steps, this is how ours turned out:
Below are the steps you have to follow in order to re-create the nail design, which turned out to be a fairly easy process that only took a few minutes.
Get the Look:
1. Apply two coats of SEPHORA by OPI Nail Colour in Havana Dreams, and let dry.
2. Layer on SEPHORA BY OPI Nail Treatment – 3 in 1 Base, Top, & Strengthener, and let dry.
3. Place SEPHORA by OPI Nail Art Gems on the nails, as in the picture. Cut some of the Nail Art Gems in half and place them along the edges if desired.
4. Use a fine-tipped synthetic-bristled brush (like SEPHORA COLLECTION Professionnel Pointed Liner/Eyeliner Brush #17) to draw lines for branches with SEPHORA by OPI Nail Colour in What's a Tire Jack?.
5. Seal with another coat of SEPHORA by OPI Nail Treatment – 3 in 1 Base, Top & Strengthener.
This was so simple, so give it a try. You can view all the other nail art designs here»
4th of July Nail Art
For this 4th of July I decided to show off pride for my country by painting my nails red, white and blue! To accomplish this task, I used the Konad Nail Stamp Art kit. The kit comes with stencil plates, nail polish, rubber stamps and a scraper. What I like about the Konad kit I used is that it allows you to get creative, so I was excited to get to work!
Since our nations flag is red white and blue, I made sure the colors were reflected prominently in the nail designs. I first painted my nails with a base coat and then color. For the first design I chose a blue base, and for the second design I chose to use white as my base color.
For both looks, I selected stencil designs of star patterns. Using a small dab of polish, I placed the nail polish over the design I chose and used the Konad scraper to rub off any excess nail polish. Next, I gently rolled the stamp over the design. Then, using the same rolling motion, I rolled the design on the stamp onto my nail. It was so easy!
To make the design on my blue nails even more patriotic, I used a thin brush to pipe red lines onto the tips of my nails, and then piped a shimmery silver color in between the empty spaces. I finished off each nail artwork with a clear top coat.
The possibilities are endless when using nail stencils to create a variety of styles this summer. So have fun and get creative!

It's Time for Makeup Spring Cleaning
Winter doesn't last forever (thank goodness!), and neither does your makeup. At the beginning of spring, a lot of people begin to channel their inner Martha Stewart and perform housekeeping chores. It's important to remember that you also have to do spring cleaning when it comes to your makeup, because all cosmetics eventually expire. Here are some commonly accepted guidelines that you should follow; however,if any product you are using changes color, develops a smell, grows mold, becomes runny, or changes consistency before these time frames, throw it out.
Mascara – 3-6 months
The chances of you going blind from using mascara that's almost two years old is very slim, but your eyes are too important for you to risk a nasty eye infection because there's just a little bit left in the tube. To prevent your mascara from drying out, don't pump the wand in and out; instead wiggle it from side to side as you pull it out.
Eyeliner/Lip Liner – 3 years
If you sharpen your pencils regularly, they can last up to three years.
Eye shadow/Blush – 2 years
A good quality powder can last up to two years; cream based eye shadows and blushes should be tossed after one year.
Foundation – 1 year
Cream and liquid foundation can last up to a year. If you use a water-based foundation, you can add toner and shake it to extend its lifespan. Oil-based foundations can last up to eighteen months. Powder foundations can last up to two years.
Lipstick/Gloss – 18 months
If you sanitize your lipstick by wiping it regularly with a tissue and a few drops of alcohol, it can stay fresh for over a year. Also, if you store it in the refrigerator, it will last longer.
Nail polish -1-2 years
I am guilty of keeping nail polishes that are at least 4-5 years old. Always store your nail polishes in a cool, dry place. If the color in the bottle no longer blends properly, and you can't hear the metal beads mixing the polish, it's time to part ways with it.
*Always smell your products when you first open it, so that you will recognize when the smell changes.
*The day you open a new product, write the date on it.
*Avoid double-dipping your sponges to prevent contamination. Spread foundation on the back of your hand and collect the product with your sponge from there.
*Make sure your hands are always cleaned before using your fingers to apply any product.
*Have a ton of unused makeup products? Learn how you can donate them here»
Bottom Line- When in doubt; throw it out.

(This is a press release from the U.S. State Attorney's Office)
The owner of in Enumclaw pleaded guilty today in U.S. District Court in Seattle to willfully failing to collect and pay over tax, announced U.S. Attorney Jenny A. Durkan.
Bruce H. Sprague, 52, admits in his plea agreement that he paid his employees a portion of their wages in cash from 2005-2008, and that he did not collect employment taxes including Social Security, Medicare and income tax withholding from the cash wages.
In his plea agreement, Sprague agrees to pay restitution of $1,179,761 to the IRS. He faces up to five years in prison when sentenced by U.S. District Judge Thomas S. Zilly on November 8, 2012.
According to the plea agreement, Sprague, the sole owner of Bruce's Roofing LLC, informed his employees in early 2005 that they would receive a portion of their wages in cash. The cash payroll was about 50 percent of each employee's pay. No payroll taxes were collected on the cash portion of the employees' pay.
By paying in cash and not reporting the wages, Sprague avoided more than a million dollars in payroll taxes. In 2006, he failed to collect and pay over to the IRS $391,548 in employment taxes. In 2007, he failed to collect and pay over to the IRS $448,642 and in 2008, he failed to collect and pay over to the IRS $339,571.
Even as he was failing to collect and pay over the employment taxes, Sprague was taking substantial wages and profits from the business – more than $929,000 in 2005, more than $1 million in 2006, more than $1.3 million in 2007, and more than $685,000 in 2008.
In his plea agreement, Sprague agrees to cooperate with the IRS to determine all taxes due and owing from him and his company.
"Paying employees in cash is not necessarily the problem," said Kenneth J. Hines, the IRS Special Agent in Charge of the Pacific Northwest. "It's when employers fail in their responsibility to withhold and pay income and employment taxes that employers could face legal consequences. Tax fraud is not a victimless crime. Loss of tax revenue could directly impact the government's ability to fund social security and Medicare benefits that we all rely on as we get older."
Willful failure to collect and pay over tax is punishable by up to five years in prison and a $250,000 fine.

Physical Therapy's Daniel Fisher just sent in a very dreamy-sounding remix he did for Peepholes, a dark synth/drums duo from London that just put out a new full-length called The Overspill. With its commanding, German-accented vocals and tersely interwoven rhythmics, "Pinnacles" couples an almost militaristic precision with the occasional, yelping leap into the void. It'd be pretty hard to get more ominous than this song, and Physical Therapy took the opposite approach, softening some of its harsher edges while tripping out the structure even further: "I love Peepholes because everything about there sound is so physical and present," he told us via email. "The album always feels like it is about to fall apart before your eyes, but manages to stay in that unhinged place, without ever crossing the line." Grab The Overspill via Upset The Rhythm.

Shaq on his health, being the 'black Steve Jobs' and '18-25′
Posted By WEEI On March 10, 2011 @ 12:54 pm In General | No Comments
Speaking with "Mut & Merloni" Thursday afternoon on WEEI, Celtics center Shaquille O'Neal said he was "getting better" in the wake of an Achilles injury that has left him on the shelf for the last month.
"The older you get, it takes time to heal," O'Neal said. "I'm getting better. Getting stronger. There's still a little pain."
The 39-year-old O'Neal said the Celtics are looking at the "18-25 thing," which he described as 18 titles for "beautiful people of Boston," as well as a second title for coach Doc Rivers and the rest of the "Big 4," and a fifth title for him. As a result, he said the Celtics are being cautious about not rushing him back too quickly
"The team is playing well. [Nenad] Kristic is doing a fabulous job. And they want me 1,000 percent, especially for the postseason," he said. "Because that's when it really counts."
O'Neal — who called himself "the black Steve Jobs" when he started talking about some of his business ventures — would not give a specific date for his return, instead saying he was at "84.227115566442222 percent."
"I can't give you a date because there's a little pain fluctuation," said O'Neal when pressed about a possible return. "I've been told by Doc, [trainer] Ed Lacerte, and [team physician] Brian McKeon to not even come talk until I'm 100 percent. I'm work out, shooting, doing light stuff. When the pain is gone, they told me to add three days [then he'll be back.]"

Customize Your Ceiling Fan Here!
Wind Speed Factor: 5.35 MPH(Read detailed interpretation below...)
(Read about Wind Speed Factor)
Graph represents 52" blade span
The Hunter Original series of fans has the most powerful and durable ceiling fan motor on the market and is the only fan with this much power that is EnergyStar qualified. The Classic Original is a fan that has changed little in decades and is truly the most classic traditional style ceiling fan available. Featuring the most durable rugged cast-iron construction, the Original series of ceiling fans from Hunter are still the only fans on the market that can actually be oiled. There are original models that are over 50 years old which are still functioning like new in peoples homes across the country. Although the Classic Original fans come with 5 blades, you can install 4 or 5 depending on your taste. Installing 4 blades would be in keeping with the classic style of the older original fans.

If your ceiling is lower than 95.83" then you may need to add a flushmount adapter or close to ceiling dowrod if one is available for the fan (see below). If you cannot find what you need to make this fan work in your room, please give us a call so we can check to see if there are any further alternatives.
Indoor and Outdoor Limitations

Editors Review
How does the Hunter Classic Original Compare to the Average Ceiling Fan?
Wind Speed Factor: 5.35 MPH
(Read about Wind Speed Factor)
Graph represents 52" blade span
Quality Rating = 5 (average is 3)
Note: CFM and Wind Speed are calculated using standard shaped 52" blades. The size and shape of the blades will alter the performance dramatically. For example: Palm style and carved wood leaf shaped blades can reduce performance by as much as 50%!
Airflow = 6947 CFM | Wind Speed = 5.35 MPH.
Efficiency Rating = 80 CFM/Watt (average is about 86)
Electrical Usage = 87 Watts (average is about 76)
CFM -vs- Efficiency: CFM is KING! It is more important to buy a fan with higher CFMs than it is to buy a fan that uses less electricity. The highest wattage consumed by the most energy guzzling ceiling fan on our website is about 120 watts. So if you input 120 as the fan watts and run our calculator, you will see that it still costs less than 2 cents per hour to operate the most energy guzzling ceiling fan in most states. You will get more savings with a higher CFM fan than a lower Wattage fan because if your fan moves more air you will be able to raise your thermostat to a higher degree. Raising your thermostat by 10 degrees can save you up to 40% on your cooling bills. Choosing a less powerful fan because it uses less electricity can be the worst mistake you can make because it will not cool you off enough to allow you to raise your thermostat to a high enough level without becoming uncomfortable. This is why CFM is so much more important to consider than Wattage.
Operational Cost Calculator
Wind Speed Calculator
(Calculate the wind speed of a ceiling fan by plugging in the CFM and Blade Span above)
Fan Size -vs- Wind Speed -vs- CFM"When it comes to ceiling fan size...the largest fan with the highest wind speed that will look fine in the area is the best choice!"
Ceiling fans cool you off by creating a wind-chill effect, the degree of which is determined by the wind speed produced by the fan; the higher the wind speed, the cooler you feel. It is critical to know the following; CFM is not the same as wind speed; the wind chill effect you feel from a ceiling fan is concentrated in the column of air directly beneath the fan blades; the wind chill drops off dramatically just a foot or two outside that area.
Ceiling fan manufacturers are required by the DOE to publish the airflow of each fan in CFM (Cubic Feet per Minute) which is not the same as wind speed. CFM is the volume of air being moved every minute, whereas wind speed how fast the air is moving in MPH (Miles per Hour) or LFM (Linear Feet per Minute), both of which are directly related to the amount of wind chill effect. When you compare two fans that are different sizes yet have the same CFM you will find they produce quite different wind speeds. The smaller fan must move air faster in order to move the same amount of air per minute (CFM) as the larger fan. The airflow generated by the smaller creates more wind chill because it is more concentrated and has a higher wind speed. The larger fan of equal CFM moves air over a larger area so it is less concentrated at a lower wind speed. So when determining what size fan to buy you must consider the amount of space a fan will cover (the diameter of the fan plus a foot or two), the intensity of the airflow directly beneath the fan (the wind speed) balanced with how any particular size fan will look or fit in the space. Ultimately the largest fan with the highest wind speed that will look fine in the area is the best choice for performance. Read More...

HONG KONG: Thai star Thongchai Jaidee is hoping to add the Venetian Macau Open to his thirteen Asian Tour victories when he begins the tournament on Thursday.
The three-time Asian Tour number one last competed in Macau some 11 years ago when he finished tied fourth.
"It's nice to be back... The course is very challenging. When it is windy, it will be difficult to play," said Thongchai, who is the top earner on the Asian Tour, winning over $4 million in his career.
He has enjoyed an impressive season so far this year, winning a first title on European soil in Wales in June and finishing tied 15th in Scotland last week.
A series of niggling injuries have kept him from a full playing schedule this season but Thongchai said the forced break has given him the added impetus to shoot and match fellow countryman Thaworn Wiratchant's record 14 career titles.
"After my injury, I didn't practise much. I think I was hungry to play again.
I performed quite well last week. I'm excited about this week. I'm always trying to win. If I don't win, I'll try again," said Thongchai, who has been grouped with Thaworn and Adam Fraser, of Australia, in the opening two rounds.
The $750,000 tournament will also feature former Masters Tournament champion, Welshman Ian Woosnam, two-time Macau Open winner Zhang Lian-wei of China and title holder Chan Yih-shin of Taiwan. -AFP

The LED screen, 10 feet high and 6 feet wide, rolls up into a scroll, a brilliant image of red roses playing across it. Then the screen unfurls, dropping down to its full length, the movement silent in the former high-tech assembly plant.
As the Sonoma Mountain Business Cluster enters its fifth year, its hopes rest on companies like the creator of the flexible LED screen, Pix2o.
It is the type of startup that the cluster's executive director, Michael Newell, is thinking of when he says: "One or two good success stories can be very transformational."
Pix2o says it just inked a deal to send its screens on a world tour with a pop production whose name the company cannot yet disclose.
That signals the type of promise that the incubator holds out of becoming a force in the North Bay economy, Newell said.
"Companies that come out and turn into $50 million companies — that's going to create a lot of jobs," he said. "They are a company that has the real potential to be a really exciting company for the region."
Pix2o, with 10 employees, started at the incubator three years ago with its two founders. It's expanded to two offices and some manufacturing space and its officials say the incubator helped them concentrate on developing their business rather than, say, finding copy machines.
"Having an eco-system helps," said Lynton Auld, the company's chief technical officer. "You walk in and you start working immediately."
The incubator's turnkey nature is one of its chief attractions. But the entrepreneurs who operate there say the people are key too.
"You get networking, you get mentoring, you get the ability to work with a community of like-minded people who are focused on the growth of their business," said Mike Gunion, CEO of AspenAir Inside.
The company, which is based in Martinez and makes air filter systems, staffs its incubator office with a single part-time salesperson, but Gunion says being associated with the project has paid off.

The held a meeting on Thursday, Dec. 1. Here are some of the things you may have missed.
iPad/ Netbook Applications
- It was reported that the iPad and netbook for fifth and sixth graders, respectively, necessary for the year.
- "We installed more applications and did not go through the process I thought it would," Dr. Michael Nagler said. "It got a lot more complicated than the volume purchasing. We actually had to physically touch every machine to image it to put them on."
- The installation of the apps was completed last week.
- "It appears that anytime we want to put more apps on, that's what we're going to have to do and it becomes a laborious task," the superintendent said. "The only way we do it is we give up ownership of the apps so where we would spend whatever amount of money we spend on every app, we can deploy them but then we would give up ownership of them... and I was not inclined to do that."
Elementary Recycling
- Dr. Nagler reported that no representative from the had contacted him as of .
- The superintendent did visit Ethan Sargent at the during the K-Kids food drive where they made 26 baskets as well as arrangements for a few recycling containers at the Hampton and buildings, which were delivered the morning of December 1 to recycle bottles and cans.
- Dr. Nagler also spoke to the high school environmental club advisor and the club has agreed to visit the Hampton and Meadow school to help set up recycling programs in an effort similar to the athletes helping athletes program.
Student Report
- Class of 2012 salutatorian Zachary Englis reported that over the past few weeks several students had completed senior projects, including ones focusing on breast cancer awareness where the students sold bracelets and feather hair extensions to raise funds, a volleyball tournament for the advancement of African women and his own project focusing on raising funds and awareness for ovarian cancer research.
- A total of 11 baskets were made for the Thanksgiving food drive which were donated to needy families along with the raising of $300.
Other Board News
- The board adopted new per diem rates for substitute positions as follows: teacher: $90; Mineola retiree teacher: $125; nurse: $125; teacher aide: $13.74 per hour; greeter: $10 per hour; bus driver: $21.81 per hour; custodian: $12.25 per hour; Clerical: $12.32 per hour; bus attendant: $10.75 per hour; maintainer: $20 per hour. The original fee for the nurse sub was $90 per day. "We had a great difficulty finding nurse subs," Dr. Nagler said, noting that all rates have not been changed in about 15 years, "so they're all on the low end." One of the district's auditors has requested that the board place the chart on its reorganizational agenda each July so as to clearly state the rate each year. The superintendent said that the district may "suggest" increases in other lines after obtaining information from other surrounding districts and county averages.
- The request for proposal for the leasing of the went out on December 2.
- The district recently received a $30,000 grant to help in its record management archives due to a 2 year effort by assistant clerk fellow Jerry Emmett.

The Tonawanda News
Tonawanda News — As a building formerly housing an auto shop came down in July in North Tonawanda, the vision of organizers at the Riviera Theatre and Performing Arts Center rose up.
A plan to build an addition of the back of the theater dates back to 2007 and by 2010, the building at 68 Main St. was purchased for $300,000.
In July of this year, the structure was demolished and quickly followed by remediation work on the brownfield site, for what will become a 23,000 square-foot black box theater, events' space, expanded concession area, additional dressing rooms and a rooftop terrace with views of the Erie Canal.
The theater, built in 1926, has increased its budget from $180,000 in 2006 to $1.6 million in 2013. There's been tens of thousands of dollars in work on structural issues in its interior and an updated marquee is expected to be put in place early next year.
And while it will likely be several more years before $6 million in funding can be obtained for the ambitious project, Director Frank Cannata has it will have a far-reaching effect on the theater itself and the community at large.
"I never thought I would spend the whole day being excited watching a building come down," Cannata said in July, the day of the demolition. "And dreaming about what's going to become a reality."
With new life flowing through the theater over the last decade, it has also been credited in part for the resurgence along Webster Street, with restaurants, shops and a niche boutique feel taking shape after years of work.
Leaders say the new structure will further add to its appeal and allow multiple performances to take place as well as larger and more varied shows, due to the additional dressing rooms, with a mix of modern and historically significant details.
A major funding campaign is expected to kick off in 2014.THE LIST SO FAR • No. 10: Niawanda Park pavilion opens • No. 9: Kiddieland opens at carrousel museum • No. 8: NT marina gets a boost • No. 7: Joe Hollywood perishes in blaze • No. 6: Malone's bar owner slain • No. 5: Bills, Sabres seek new directions • No. 4: Budwey to sell stores after decades in town • No. 3: Tonawanda elects Rick Davis as new mayor

Prison Architect goes into Alpha 6
Introversion has announced the details of the latest update to the Alpha test version of Prison Architect.
The Alpha 6 build of Prison Architect incorporates a number of bug fixes and adds a critical new feature to the game that will improve playability.
The main addition is a new prisoner rating system in the form of colour-coded uniforms which allows players to see at a glance whether they're dealing with a minimum security prisoner or someone who would be more at home in Arkham Asylum.
As usual there is a video with Mark Morris and Chris Delay outlining the improvements and a blog entry with more information on top of that.
