I really enjoyed the high floor of the room
I felt like for a 3 1/2 star room it was not up to par, I've been in other 3 1/2 star hotels and from the square footage to the interior design I knew right off the bat this room could have very well been for a 3 star or 2 1/2 star room evenThe check in process was great from valet to the bellman, so too bad the people could give five star service while what was actually given was a 2 star room, but if everything is supposed to go hand in hand I guess it evens out. One thing I know is that I was paying for season as well, it's the summer, I get it. I guess.

By KBB.com Editors
KBB Expert Rating: 6.3
For brand loyalists, perhaps the most important thing about the 2014 Subaru Tribeca is that it's a Subaru. As the automaker's largest and most expensive vehicle, the 7-passenger Tribeca SUV offers families who have outgrown their Outback or Forester a way to move up. The Tribeca is notable for its standard 6-cylinder boxer engine and sophisticated all-wheel-drive (AWD) system, which enable this 3-row SUV to be a tenacious handler in slick and snowy conditions. However, the aging Tribeca trails rivals such as the Nissan Pathfinder, Chevrolet Traverse and Hyundai Santa Fe in technology, fuel economy and feature availability while still commanding a nearly $35,000 starting price.
If you've been a longtime member of the Subaru family, but your own brood has outgrown your 5-passenger sedan or wagon, the 2014 Tribeca SUV is the answer. Good resale value is another feather in the Subaru's cap.
If you want the latest tech or safety features and fuel-economy figures better than 16/21 mpg, look beyond the Tribeca. Most of its 3-row SUV rivals are fresher and offer more advanced infotainment systems and better fuel efficiency.
out of 36Fuel Economy
out of 36Horsepower
The only change of note for the 2014 Subaru Tribeca is that the moonroof and small 3.5-inch rear-camera display that had previously been bundled into a package are now standard.
Driving Impressions Although the 2014 Subaru Tribeca is aging, it still feels invigorating for a larger SUV. This family hauler's handling is responsive and its steering feels satisfyingly firm. Throwing this big...... Subie into a corner yields some body lean, but overall the Tribeca inspires confidence thanks to its low center of gravity and standard AWD system. Subaru's sophisticated AWD system has made many believers in the brand with its ability to get a grip in snowy conditions. The Tribeca's version is tailored to normally split power in a 45/55 proportion that favors the rear wheels. If a tire loses grip, such as on a slippery road, the Subaru automatically and immediately transfers power to the wheels with the best traction. The Tribeca's 3.6-liter engine delivers good performance thanks to its 256 horsepower, and shift points of the 5-speed automatic transmission have been improved vs. previous versions.
Beyond the expected 60/40-split tumbling feature, the Tribeca's 2nd-row seatbacks fold down individually in a 40/20/40 configuration, allowing the narrow middle section to make way for skis or divide a pair of arguing kids. The seats also slide fore-aft nearly eight inches, and the seatbacks recline for further passenger comfort and cargo flexibility.
While most mainstream cars now offer leather, it often costs extra or is reserved for higher level – and higher-priced – trims. Every 2014 Tribeca, however, features leather-trimmed upholstery standard for the first and second rows.
The Tribeca's cabin is most notable for its dash design, a wave pattern that visually delights but unfortunately places some radio and heating controls at odd angles from the driver. The controls themselves are easy to discern, but like the rest of the Tribeca they are feeling dated. Legroom is good in the middle row, but the 2-passenger third row is very tight for adults. Cargo capacity, too, is limited to just 8.3 cubic feet with the last row in place but increases considerably with the seats folded. The now-standard moonroof helps the cabin feel more airy.Exterior
The original 2006 Tribeca's face was unique, if not beautiful. A refresh in 2008 brought about the more palatable, if somewhat generic, front end it wears today. Instead of a narrow snout, the latest Tribeca's grille looks far more appealing with broad horizontal slats. The Subaru's rear is nicely rounded, with twin exhaust tips peeking out from below the bumper. The Tribeca boasts 8.4 inches of ground clearance, another boon for those who regularly contend with snow-covered roads. Unlike more and more of its competitors, the Tribeca does not offer a power tailgate, so you'll have to do the opening and closing the old-fashioned way.
Unlike most of its competitors, the 2014 Subaru Tribeca is offered in just one trim: Limited. That being the case, all Tribecas feature a good deal of features but not much variance in price. A standard model includes all-wheel drive, 385-watt/10-speaker harman/kardon premium audio system with AM/FM/CD changer, dual-zone climate control, power front seats (8-way driver/4-way passenger), Bluetooth phone connectivity, moonroof, HomeLink remote transponder and the aforementioned leather seating. The 2014 Tribeca rides on 18-inch aluminum-alloy wheels. Roadside assistance is also included as part of the 3-year limited warranty.
The sole package offered on the Subaru Tribeca bundles a navigation system, DVD rear-seat entertainment system with a pair of wireless headphones, and larger rearview camera display. Individual add-ons include remote engine starter, puddle lights, kayak and bike carriers and a dog guard/compartment separator to bring along the canine family member.
The Subaru Tribeca offers a single drivetrain combo, a 3.6-liter 6-cylinder boxer engine producing 256 horsepower and 247 lb-ft of torque, a 5-speed automatic transmission and symmetrical AWD. A boxer engine is called just that because of its horizontal positioning that makes the pistons move back and forth like a fighter's fists. With its low profile and naturally balanced design, the boxer engine and AWD provide a confident feeling of stability even when taking corners, unusual for a 7-seat SUV. Power is more than sufficient, but towing capacity tops out at 3,500 pounds, less than that of competitors such as the Ford Explorer, Nissan Pathfinder and Chevrolet Traverse. The engine's fuel economy has since been passed by those of fresher competitors, but at least it uses regular unleaded gasoline.
3.6-liter flat-6
256 horsepower @ 6,000 rpm
247 lb-ft of torque @ 4,400 rpm
EPA city/highway fuel economy: 16/21 mpg
The 2014 Subaru Tribeca has a Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP) starting just under $35,000. This is a $1,500 increase over last year, due to the moonroof package now being included in this year's model. At the high end, a Tribeca with navigation and optional accessories can reach around $40,000. The Tribeca's starting price is higher than that of the Chevrolet Traverse, Nissan Pathfinder, Ford Explorer, Hyundai Santa Fe, Dodge Durango, Toyota Highlander, Honda Pilot, Kia Sorento and Mazda CX-9, but the gap closes when optioning those other models with all-wheel drive and a 6-cylinder engine where applicable, both of which are standard on the Subaru. The Tribeca's resale value is predicted to remain strong, but still trail competitors such as the newer Hyundai Santa Fe.

"I have owned this car since 2010. It has needed nothing but oil changes, and New brakes. My friends always comment when getting into my car and how awesome it looks after being almost 10 years old. They would love to have my car, but Nissan's are "more affordable" they say. Every time I bring it to get the oil changed or to get it cleaned, I always get the compliment of that's a nice car. I will say that the one draw back to my car is that many of the items you do have to buy from the dealer. Windshield Wiper blades will run you $50 (you cannot buy at other stores) but they last almost 8 months to a year every time. If you need to repair something, it almost always has to come from a dealer (even if you go through another vendor), but I think it's probably the same with many other Subaru things. The things I Love! It has plenty of space, and after my husband drives our other car, he gets in mine and loves the way it just wants to take off. After owning my first Subaru and having to trade it in for a Grand Am (to lower monthly bills) I had nothing but regrets. I love the fact that I can pull over a snow mounded into a parking space in the city and still get out, without having to shovel. I always prefer to take my car with the kids in it, because even with this last winter we had, I never once had a loss of control. I know that many of the same vehicles get much worse on gas milage, but it really has everything to do with maintenance. The person that owned my car before me, had the 75,000 mile inspection and had every oil change documented. Currently my car with 143,000 still gets between 18 and 22 miles/gallon. I have a roof rack installed and use it for trips, I never had the hitch installed, but have been told my my mechanic that "it could pull a house" (limit of 3000lbs). I have never installed any hitch because I know that it is pretty hard on a vehicle. My husband has brought up me getting a new vehicle several times (because soon enough he feels age is going to catch up). I have gone car looking 2 times, and nothing has compared. Walked out of the dealership, happy to be in my own car again. Only thing I wish I would have in my car is the 3rd Row and entertainment system. But I will know better when I have to buy my next Tribeca, although this one shows no signs of giving up any times soon! The only thing I am interested in getting after this vehicle, is another one exactly like it!"

Product Review (submitted on June 5, 2013):
Great Exfoliator
I love this product. The key is to follow the directions exactly. Do not leave on too long or massage like a scrub. I also do not advise using in the shower because the humidity makes it slide off my face. Just simply apply to clean skin and let it sit for the time it says on the tube., and rinse off as advised. I get wonderful results even though I have sensitive skin and I use this product once a week. It keeps my pores clear and my skin does not feel irritated. I do not know how I would describe the scent, but I like it.

Utah Utes football: John White IV doesn't play for Utes after all
Jeffrey D. Allred, Deseret News
SALT LAKE CITY — The fact that Utah coach Kyle Whittingham decided to implement a new policy Monday of not reporting injuries, naturally made a lot of folks, especially in the media, suspicious that there must be some injuries to cover up.
Turns out there was a reason for the change of policy.
Two of Utah's top players who were rumored to be hurt didn't start Saturday night and sat out.
Utah's running back John White, who proclaimed himself "100 percent" to the media on Wednesday, didn't play and three different Ute running backs played in the first quarter. White, who gained more than 1,500 yards for the Utes last year, including 174 against BYU, apparently hurt his ankle against Utah State.
Freshman Jarrell Oliver got the start and ran for four yards on the first play from scrimmage. Later in the quarter, JC transfer Kelvin York and Lucky Radley both got carries as did Jake Murphy on a fourth-down play on a fake punt.
Also Ute starting free safety Eric Rowe didn't play after suffering a hamstring injury in the Utah State game. Rowe was replaced by sophomore Tyron Morris-Edwards in the secondary.
BYU receiver Ross Apo, who missed last week's game with a hamstring injury, was back in action and Riley Nelson, whose back pain kept him from playing more against Weber State last week, also started.
LINEUP CHANGES: The Utes made several changes on their offensive line Saturday night. Senior Sam Brenner moved over from right guard and started at left tackle where Miles Mason had started the first two games. Vycent Jones replaced Brenner at guard. Freshman Jeremiah Poutasi started at left tackle, replacing Percy Taumoelau. Also senior Boo Anderson made his season debut as starting linebacker.
LATEST START: Not only was Saturday's game the earliest game ever played in the long series, it was also the latest.
Say what?
The Sept. 15 date is the earliest fall date the game has ever been played in the series that dates back to 1922 or 1896, according to University of Utah records.
But Saturday's 8 p.m. starting time (it actually started at 8:15) was also the latest in the long series, assuming there were no late-night games before 1987 when night games were a rarity, especially late in the season.
Over the past 25 years, the Utes and Cougars have played at a variety of times due to television demands, from 10:30 a.m. in 1996 to last year's 7:15 p.m. start.
The most popular starting time over the past quarter century has been 12 p.m. with seven such starts, followed by 1 p.m. with four. The other starting times have been 11:30 a.m., 1:30 p.m., 3 p.m., 4 p.m. and 5 p.m.

The temperature at kickoff was 80 degrees with a slight wind from the south . . . Attendance was 45,653, the sixth largest crowd in stadium history . . . BYU offensive lineman Houston Reynolds suffered a right ankle injury early in the second quarter. He did not return to the game and was replaced by Brock Stringham . . .

NFL scouts from the Baltimore Ravens, Jacksonville Jaguars, New York Jets and Oakland Raiders attended the game, as did Utah Blaze head coach Ron James . . . KSL radio analyst Marc Lyons was the Cougars' quarterback the last time they were Utah's homecoming opponent. It was 1968 and the Utes prevailed 30-21 . . .

Android 4.0.4 rollout for Galaxy Nexus has RESUMED
In the first week of April, Google started rolling out Android 4.0.4 to Galaxy Nexus phones. The rollout was paused very soon afterwards due to signal issues that plagued many handsets after the upgrade.
However, last week, Google started rolling out a fix to handsets that had received the 4.0.4 update before it was pulled. Still, there was no word on handsets still stuck on 4.0.2.
Yesterday, OTA zip files for 4.0.2 (ICL53F) -> Fixed 4.0.4 (IMM76I) landed on Google's update sites, and many Galaxy Nexus users are reporting 4.0.4 being OTAed to their handsets.
I hope this answers the questions many people asked on this forums about the 4.0.4 update. I had to repeatedly reply to each of them and tell them the rollout has been paused. Well, it has been resumed now, and everyone can rest in peace (or keep spamming their "Check Now" buttons :) ).

Well that was a great April Fool's Day prank if I ever saw one. The Colorado Avalanche score 3 unanswered goals, all of which hit a Blue Jacket in some capacity, and steal a win at Nationwide Arena. Cam Atkinson and Blake Comeau tallied for the CBJ, both coming in the second period, but it was the Jackets' woes around their own net that caught up to them.
Colorado's first goal was a blind feed from the corner that banked off of Nick Foligno sitting on his own back door like he's supposed to. Their second goal appeared to hit Dalton Prout standing in the crease, and the third, in overtime, deflected off of Jack Johnson. Obviously none of these players wanted any of that to happen, and hockey being the funny game it is, it totally happened. The three Jackets in question were just trying to make defensive plays and the Avalanche had the hockey gods on their side tonight.
The pace of the game was rather furious and penalty free, as the referees were letting the boys play. The first was dominated mostly by Colorado, but the CBJ defense held strong until the offense was able to get sustained pressure down low moving into the second. To say the Jackets looked bad tonight would be a farce. It went quite the opposite as the CBJ had a two goal lead until the third.
What makes it the most heartbreaking is these bad bounces come at a time where points are at a premium. Making it to overtime the Jackets at least secured one point and with some help are still in contention for the wild card in the Eastern Conference. Not getting 2 points just makes the battle a little tougher from here on out.
Hopefully the boys in Union Blue can put this one behind them quickly and bounce back with a vengeance. Next up is the Philadelphia Flyers in Philly and good 'ol Steve Mason. Wouldn't it feel great to just slam a few past him and get back to winning? You already know the answer to that. Keep the March to the Playoffs going!

BREAKFAST AT TIFFANY'S, THE MATRIX, & More to Be Added to National Film Registry
The excitement of national football; the first black star of an American feature-length film; the visionary battle between man and machine; and an award-winning actress born yesterday are part of a kaleidoscope of cinematic moments captured on film and tapped for preservation. The Librarian of Congress James H. Billington today named 25 motion pictures that have been selected for inclusion in the National Film Registry of the Library of Congress. These cinematic treasures represent important cultural, artistic and historic achievements in filmmaking.
"Established by Congress in 1989, the National Film Registry spotlights the importance of preserving America's unparalleled film heritage," said Billington. "These films are not selected as the 'best' American films of all time, but rather as works of enduring importance to American culture. They reflect who we are as a people and as a nation."
Spanning the period 1897-1999, the films named to the registry include Hollywood classics, documentaries, early films, and independent and experimental motion pictures. This year's selections bring the number of films in the registry to 600.
The films include such movie classics as "Born Yesterday," featuring Judy Holliday's Academy Award-winning performance; and Truman Capote's "Breakfast at Tiffany's," starring Audrey Hepburn. Among the documentaries named to the registry are "The Times of Harvey Milk," a revealing portrait of San Francisco's first openly gay elected official; "One Survivor Remembers," an Academy Award-winning documentary short about Holocaust survivor Gerda Weissmann Klein; and Ellen Bruno's documentary about the struggle of the Cambodian people to rebuild in the aftermath of Pol Pot's killing fields.
The creative diversity of American filmmakers is evident in the selections of independent and experimental films, which include Nathaniel Dorsky's "Hours for Jerome," Richard Linklater's "Slacker" and the Kodachrome Color Motion Picture Test film of 1922. Among the cinema firsts are "They Call It Pro Football," which has been described as the "Citizen Kane" of sports movies; and the 1914 version of "Uncle Tom's Cabin," which features the first black actor to star in a feature-length American film. The actor Sam Lucas made theatrical history when he also appeared in the lead role in the stage production of "Uncle Tom's Cabin" in 1878.

Pay-for-Performance Programs to Reduce Racial/Ethnic Disparities
What Might Different Designs Achieve?
This research highlights the need to consider the impact of P4P on disparities.
Pay-for-performance (P4P) programs can increase quality of care and decrease costs of care but may, however, have unintended effects on racial/ethnic disparities.
This study uses a two-metric ranking method: a quality rank and a disparity rank. Using process measures of quality for acute myocardial infarction (AMI), heart failure (HF), and pneumonia (PNE), the study looked at data from the Hospital Quality Alliance (HQA) for individual patients 18 years and older admitted to HQA hospitals. Only hospitals with at least 30 minority and 30 White cases in two years combined were included.
Key Findings:
- National composite quality scores were 82.4 percent (AMI); 60.6 percent (HF); and 48.5 percent (PNE).
- The disparity scores ranged from five to seven percentage points for the combined minorities group, depending on the condition.
- Top-performing U.S. hospitals had low disparity scores, with many providing equal or better quality care to minority patients.
This research shows that minorities in the general population are often treated in hospitals that perform poorly on common quality score composites. P4P may unintentionally penalize hospitals serving a disproportionate share of minority individuals.
P4P programs should be designed to consider both quality and disparities to avoid unintended consequences and to better set achievable performance targets.

New Year, Better Organized
A professional organizer offers advice and insight on the matter of clearing clutter
By Rachel Collins – Dated Jan 4, 07
As the ball dropped in Times Square this New Year's Eve, were you wondering how you were going to fit your new holiday gifts in your home? Where the new shirts and shoes would go? How you'd find space for the new kitchen appliance or latest gadget? Luckily, New Year's Eve is not only a time for revelry but a time for resolutions and cleaning house, literally. For Meryl Starr, owner of the organization company Let's Get Organized and author of "The Home Organizing Workbook," and her latest release, "The Personal Organizing Workbook," every day is an opportunity to keep or reaffirm that familiar New Year's resolution to remain tidy. Ms. Starr, who founded her company in New York City 14 years ago, said she was always an organized person but had not found her calling until one fateful day in a friend's kitchen. "I was staying at a friend's house," she said in a recent interview. "I was trying to make breakfast, but everything was a mess." All she needed was a little compliance from her messy friend, and Ms. Starr was in all her glory organizing the space. The task took all day, but the payoff was a neat and organized kitchen and, as it turned out, a new career. "It's been the perfect job for me," Ms. Starr said. The business of organizing has become a serious one in the last five to 10 years, and Ms. Starr, now almost a decade and a half into her career, has been at the forefront of her profession. Thanks to the San Francisco-based Chronicle Books, which approached Ms. Starr in 2004 to write her first book on home organizing, she has become a nationally cited expert on the subject, appearing on television shows—Bravo's "Queer Eye for the Straight Guy" and HGTV's "Smart Solutions"—and in major publications, including InStyle, Ladies Home Journal, Woman's Day and Real Simple magazines. "It was challenging," she said of writing the book, "but it was great to be able to share these ideas that are second nature to me.
"It's just a matter of dividing the online casino home up into the rooms, and then, you know, thinking about what is the reader looking for," she said. "Is there too much clutter? Not having enough storage space or closet space?" Ms. Starr approached the book the same way she approaches a home in need of her help—room by room. The kitchen, living room, laundry room and home office are all spaces that can attract chaos, for different reasons. Space is of the utmost concern to Ms. Starr; one could even say it is the backbone of her business. Her clients can never have enough of it, and the lack of it can bleed into parts of a person's life in ways you wouldn't think possible. The culprit robbing citizens of their space, she declared, is clutter. "Clutter is such a big issue. I think once you get organized, you don't want to bring clutter into your life," she said.
See ORGANIZED, Page R2 Ms. Starr offered a timely example of clutter that can be excised from your life: gifts. "If it's something you don't like, then don't feel like you have to keep it," Ms. Starr said matter-of-factly. "Once it's yours," she reasoned, "you can do whatever you want with it. "In our personal spaces, we should be surrounded by things that we enjoy, because they are our spaces."
While re-gifting or simply throwing away gifts doesn't seem like the sentimental option, Ms. Starr is quick to point out that it is our overabundance of stuff that eventually drives us to an unhealthy stress level. "I think that people … are so busy, they are so stressed, they just can't handle it anymore," she said. "This is one of the ways to decrease the stress."
Getting organized and getting rid of clutter can be addictive, according to Ms. Starr, because it feels good to simplify. When your house looks good and feels good, you have the "motivation to go on," she said.
The best way to get started organizing is to assess what you have. One of Ms. Starr's practical tips for organizing drawers and closets—which can easily be translated to organizing any room—is to start by emptying the closet and laying its contents out for review. With a sharp eye focused on culling out the clutter, each item and its usefulness should be considered. Clothes that don't fit, or have fallen out of favor, should be removed. The remaining items can then be categorized and hung, folded and stacked accordingly.
For Ms. Starr, who eventually hopes to organize everyone's lives through her own television show, the books are just an extension of her everyday life, both personally and professionally. While she is admittedly very organized—her closet is color-coded—she also believes one's personal space should be filled with things that make its inhabitant happy. For example, when her teenage daughter's room went the untidy way of most teens, Ms. Starr respected her daughter's choice and simply asked for the door to her bedroom to remain closed.
It is just such tales, from Ms. Starr's own experiences, that help her to relate to clients. While she understands not everyone is built to organize as she is, she sees definite room for improvement.
"You can't look at the whole house," she warned, "do something small, and the difference in the energy is so good you just keep going. Getting organized is a life changing experience."
Meryl Starr's new book—"The Home Organizing Workbook"—offers frank advice and lots of inspirational photographs of successful organization techniques.

Papua New Guinea made home advantage count at the weekend to emerge victorious against the Solomon Islands and gain ground in the IRB World Rankings.
The 29-22 win in the Oceania Cup was enough to lift Papua New Guinea one place to 49th in the world, while the losers drop one place to 68th.
The conclusion of the British and Irish Lions series in Sydney may have captivated the attention of much of the rugby world, but there is plenty at stake this week for the sides competing in Port Moresby, location for the Oceania Cup matches.
Resounding win
The first round of fixtures also saw the Cook Islands record a resounding 38-5 win over Tahiti.
The Cook Islands, 55th in the world standings, and Tahiti, placed 86th, retain their positions but with slightly changed points totals.
The action continues this week on Tuesday and Saturday with another four matches in the round-robin tournament, which also forms part of the qualifying process for Rugby World Cup 2015.
Cambodia's 38-0 win over Brunei in the Asian Five Nations tournament does not count towards the World Rankings as the countries are not full members of the IRB.
The IRB World Rankings are published every Monday at midday UK time.
- Monday 30 September 2013 - World Rankings
South Africa inch closer to rankings top spot
- Friday 27 September 2013 - World Rankings
Second within reach for Australia in rankings
- Monday 16 September 2013 - World Rankings
New Zealand increase rankings cushion at top
- Thursday 12 September 2013 - World Rankings

love, love, love.
-All I did was push back my cuticles, and clean my nails with rubbing alcohol, apply 2 coats and done.
-It's been a week and the polish is just starting to get stress cracks, but no chips.
Update: makes my nails peel if I use it for weeks on end.

I got it in Midnight in NY, and it is very thin. It has pretty little sparkles in it and requires atleast 3 coats for a complete black. It doesnt dry up all that quick too. The brush is a bit different and I dont like it too much. It stays chip-free for about 3-4 days without a topcoat. For a 8$ price, I think they could do a bit better.
Oh my gosh. Wow. Everything is perfect. The colours. The packaging. The brush. The chip resistance. The finish. Everyone needs to try this polish. In love. Is it illegal to marry nail polish?
Sally Hansen products have completely sucked for me in the past. They chip within hours and do not even begin to last. I came across the "Shell We Dance" color and didn't realize it was Sally Hansen before buying it but I decided to give it a try anyway. Shell We Dance is a very light pink nude color, I usually pick these colors because they are the only ones I can wear because I am in the military.
I have to say I am totally suprised with the quality. I use it with Gelous Nail Gel as a base coat and put this on top of it, and it lasts me for 5 days without chipping. Not to mention the color is gorgeous. BUY IT!
I just purchased this in "Hot Lava". It's soooo pretty for spring/summer. It is a bright orange with a goldish-orange glittery flake. I did two coats over a clear base and it is so bright and shimmery. Looks great with a tan! This color applied smoothly and dried well. It's smooth and shiney even without a topcoat. I love these complete manicure polishes!!
I absolutely love this polish. I have 'arm candy' which is a light pink. The shape of the bottle is very easy to hold onto, and the rubber part on the wand is a lovely and helpful addition. A lot of people are commenting that the brush is too big, but it's perfect for my nails, even for my pinkies, which I consider on the small side. As for the 'too much' or 'too little' polish complaints, as long as you load the polish on the brush properly by swiping it on the side of the bottle, you shouldn't have any issues. When I put the first coat on you could barely see it which had me a wee bit worried, but once I put the second coat on, the colour came out and it turned out quite lovely. With this colour, I'd be able to get away with two coats, but I put on three just to see how much stronger the colour would turn out. I'll probably stick to two coats in the future. Usually when I'm buying a new brand I only buy one colour to test out. I'm definitely going back and buying a few more colours that I was eyeing at the store :)
- A bit expensive in my country (14 euros)
+ lasts long
+ good texture (easy to apply, not too thick nor too watery)
+ full-bodied color
I have this in Black and Blue, and it's a beautiful purple green duochrome polish that lasts for days with no chipping. The brush is a little odd, but it works.

I love this nail polish. The people having problems putting it on and/or having it smudge are not using it right. First apply a base coat and let it dry completely. Around 30 minutes. Then apply a coat of the polish. I let mine dry for a couple of hours at least. It has to cure and harden completely. For the first ten minutes or so i turn my hands upside down and let gravity do its work. Then apply a second coat and let it dry for the same amount of time. I know this sounds like a lot of work but if you do it right it will last 10 or more days. It's just like paint if you put wet paint on top of paint that has not completly cured it will never dry. Finally I put on a top coat.

OK so I am on day 4 and my nails still look darn fab..some minor wear on tips but I am very happy with this product and I can't wait to buy more!! I have bought so many polsihes that after a day look like crap. I honestly see no need to ever buy another brand as this one checks off all the boxes for me.
EDIT: So I loved these - went a little crazy and bought about 7 (different colors from different store locations) and I have to say that these polishes have terrible inconsistancy...varying from bottle to bottle. One bottle will be thick and goopy and the next just perfect. Sucks. Once it gets thicker it is difficult to apply nicely. What a bummer - I was in love and since then returned most of them :( So disappointed.

Off-Campus Dining:
Most options for off campus eating are within a 10 minute walk, and a few sub shops right on the edge of campus next to the freshman dorms. Another local place on the edge of campus called Industrial Revolution has the best burgers.
Off-Campus Dining:
most restaurants are within walking distance, not sure on student discounts. can not say on best places until I know somebodies food preferences
Off-Campus Dining:
I appreciate the variety of campus choices that Valparaiso as a city provides. I would like to see more discount opportunities at more sit-down restaurants like The Tomato bar, Yatz, or even Noodles and Company, if that would be at all possible. As a student on a tight-budget though I do sometimes it find it hard to get vegan-friendly options that don't cost a fortune, still I can't complain to much because there are at least options for me and I am not completely out of luck.
Off-Campus Dining:
There's definitely enough variety to keep you busy. I still have yet to try a lot of the off-campus restaurants. There's a bunch of cafes and restaurants as well as a few little ethnic places, all of which are pretty close to campus. Some of the places are a little expensive, but there's a few cheaper pizza places, Subway and Jimmy John's right across the street, and my personal favorite, the Dynasty Buffet. So there is definitely something for everyone food-wise.
Off-Campus Dining:
Basically everyone eats in the Union.

What the town of Valparaiso lacks in exciting activities, it makes up for in dining. Valparaiso has an incredible blend of fast food, casual eats, and fancy dining options. Every fast food venue you can think of is available, including a Quizno's and Panera Bread, along with old favorites like Steak 'n Shake. Casual dining options like Applebee's and Chili's are available close to campus. Everything from Italian to Chinese to Spanish is waiting for your taste buds. Maria Elena's is a huge favorite of everyone on campus. They have American, Mexican, and Italian cuisine with prices comparable to Chili's. El Amigo, while not fancy in the least, is a late-night favorite. You'll need a car to get there, but from what everyone says, the burritos are worth more than the five-minute drive. There are many unique small restaurants in the city, too.
Dining hall options can quickly exhaust themselves despite the Dining Services' staff doing what they can to vary the menu and come up with new and exciting meals. It's easy to take an evening and head out with friends to one of the great restaurants in Valparaiso. The best thing is that once you've tried one place, you know you could always go back again, but with all the other options, why not try something new?

Classic contender for Richard Fahey after Nell romp (From Gazette & Herald)

Malton trainer Richard Fahey saddles Sandiva to Nell Gwyn Stakes success at Newmarket
Updated 5:22pm Wednesday 16th April 2014 in Sport By Steve Carroll, Sports reporter
MALTON trainer Richard Fahey has a genuine Classic contender on his hands after Sandiva showed her class in the Lanwades Stud Nell Gwyn Stakes at Newmarket this afternoon.
Frankie Dettori rode a confident race on the three-year-old filly - positioning her in midfield before bursting clear and keeping Euro Charline and Majeyda at bay.
The Albany Stakes runner-up's next destination is now likely to be back at headquarters in May and a date in the 1,000 Guineas.
Dettori performed a flying dismount in the winner's enclosure after the half-a-length win and Sandiva shaped as though the extra furlong in the Guineas, staged over a mile, would suit.
Dettori said: "Where she was drawn was a one or two-length disadvantage and there was no cover, so it was a good performance.
"She is entitled to go to the Guineas with a good chance."
Fahey, who also won the Nell Gwyn with Barefoot Lady three years ago, said: "Frankie is sure she will stay a mile and he spent half the race trying to switch her off and get her in."
Despite the cosy nature of her win, though, bookmakers did not rush to cut her price in the aftermath.
Sandiva was still available at 25-1 for the 1,000 Guineas, behind leading contenders such as the 7-2 favourite Rizeena and Tapestry at 6-1.
Fahey also ran Parbold in the Listed Free Handicap but the colt, who held the lead at the two furlong marker in the trial for the 2,000 Guineas, could only finish fifth of the six runners.

Exploring Spain: The Wine ConneXtion Decodes Spanish Wines with Complimentary Tasting
Printer-friendly versionPDF version
The Wine ConneXtion in North Andover, MA will be hosting a complimentary wine tasting to prove that Spanish wines have a place on the shelves and in the glasses of oenophiles everywhere.
North Andover, MA, United States., March 3, 2014 - (PressReleasePoint) -
On Saturday, March 8th, 2014 from 1:00PM to 5:00PM, The Wine ConneXtion, located in North Andover, MA, will show guests, sip-by-sip and bottle-by-bottle, that Spanish wines deserve a place on their shelves and in their glasses during their complimentary tasting "Exploring Spain." Guests are invited to try some of Spain's best as they swirl their way through wine regions and try new unique varietals like Tempranillo, Garnacha & Monastrell and fall in love them the way they love Cabernet, Chardonnay and Merlot.
Grapes are currently the third biggest crop in Spain and because of its primarily dry climate, Spain is right behind France and Italy in its wine production quantities. Spain's new approach of producing lower yields and higher quality grapes has paid off and the proof is in the glass! These wines, which are naturally free from pesticides and sulfites will sweep guests off their feet as they discover that Spanish wines are comparable to French and Italian wines. After tasting all that Spanish vines have to offer, guests will wonder why they haven't journeyed to this ever expanding section of the store before.
Exploring Spain is part of The Wine ConneXtion's weekly Saturday tasting series and reflects its willingness to educate customers and offer specialized prices in a fuss-free environment.
WHERE: The Wine ConneXtion, 117 Main Street in North Andover, MA
WHEN: Saturday, March 8th, 1:00PM to 5:00PM
COST: Tasting is complimentary; Must be 21+.
About The Wine ConneXtion:
The Wine ConneXtion offers customers a unique and innovative wine-purchasing experience at the First & Main Marketplace in North Andover, Massachusetts. The store offers "eXcellent wines at eXceptional prices" by providing the best wines in their categories with a no-fuss environment. With features like the Tasting Station, encouraging customers to taste and learn about the distinguishing features of wine before buying, the store marries innovative store design and technology with a long tradition of knowledge and experience. The result is our ability to select an assortment of quality wines at great prices and pass those savings onto our mainstream consumers and wine enthusiasts all over Massachusetts and beyond.

NEXT month, as you sit in the dark to watch the next enthralling instalment from Tim Burton, Alice in Wonderland, spare a thought for those who should be able to see it but probably won't. Tim Burton's work is wacky and spectacular, but it is too scary for small children.
When Burton takes stories from adult literature such as Sweeney Todd, he does it in style, but he is now a repeat offender at taking children's books and turning them into films for adults. He is not the only one.
Parents now regularly have to tell young children that while they may have read Alice in Wonderland, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and Where the Wild Things Are, these movies are no longer their stories. They are too frightening, too dark or too complicated for little people. My five-year-old quite rightly asks why movie-makers are using children's stories to make films not for children. It is difficult to tell him that there is money to be made from adults desperate to relive their childhood through cinema.
My eldest son has seen two Charlie and the Chocolate Factory films, the ''old one'' and the ''scary one''. He watched the scary one on DVD sitting on his grandfather's lap at his aunt's house. His aunt asked him several times whether he was scared. He denied it, but later at home it came out. Any wonder: life-sized singing dolls that melt, a terrifying Willy Wonka (not to mention well-known ghoul actor Christopher Lee as his father) were enough to make adults feel uncomfortable. For young children, it is terrifying.
I have learnt my lesson. Recently we saw a trailer for Alice in Wonderland. I asked my son whether he wanted to see it. He did not: ''Too scary, Mummy.''
I thought one of the joys of parenting would be seeing children's films with my children. Reading the books and then heading off to sit in the air-conditioned dark with a littlie on my lap or at my side. Before Christmas, my son saw the advertisements for Where the Wild Things Are. We have read the book dozens of times and he was excited to see it coming out. He saw the merchandise too - a Max doll and soft toy ''wild things''. Surely, this one was for him?
Even its director, Spike Jonze, fought with Warner Bros over whether the film was suitable: ''They thought I was making a children's film and I thought I was making a film about childhood.'' Author and co-producer Maurice Sendak surely shouldn't have allowed Where the Wild Things Are to be taken from children. I heard him interviewed on the topic and he seemed to have waited so long for someone to turn a couple of dozen pages into a movie that he signed it over to adults. The criticism was intense and Sendak has become belligerent about it. The process has now come full circle, with screenwriter Dave Eggers writing an adult novel based on the movie.
Fear is not the only problem. It is a parent's job to protect children from issues that are too hard for their minds to digest. For instance, the family breakup in Where the Wild Things Are could distress many young children. A friend's child went on a year 3 and 4 school excursion to see the film and many wanted to leave before it finished. Some cried.
Perhaps it is no longer enough to make movies that only children (and those in touch with their inner child) want to see. Perhaps the cost of movie-making means directors need to raid children's stories to allow us to relive our own childhood.
It is hardly fair. Adults have the pick of stories. We can watch anything from porn to chick flicks, from the fluffy to the multi-layered foreign mystery. Children don't get so many choices.
I now find myself having to pay a babysitter so I can see a movie based on a children's book that I have already read to my son.
I will go to see Alice in Wonderland. I really love Tim Burton's work - as an adult - but I cannot take my son. There is something sad about that.
One day my son will be old enough to see Alice in Wonderland and rewatch Charlie and the Chocolate Factory without being scared. But he probably won't see them on the big screen, as they are intended, in all their Gothic darkness. He loves movies; it is just a shame that the stories of his childhood are not made for him any more.
Deborah Gough is a staff writer.
