Implicit tax co-ordination under repeated policy interactions
AbstractIn the context of a stylised gaine theoretical framework of capital tax competition, we show that when repeated policy interactions are associated to a systematic punishment of the deviating policymaker, a coordinated outcome can be the solution to the non cooperative tax game. This resuit suggests that explicit forms of policy coordination, such as a centralised tax authority, could in fact be largely unnecessary.

Pope Francis came under fire from victims groups on Thursday following news that he had quietly sacked the Vatican's envoy to the Dominican Republic over allegations of paedophilia.
"Like all of his predecessors, Pope Francis is acting belatedly, secretively and recklessly," said Barbara Dorris, outreach director for the US-based Survivors Network of those Abused by Priests (SNAP).
"Catholic officials act only when forced to do so by media pressure," she said in a statement received by AFP.
"When they do act, they act secretively — in this case, by not disclosing the allegations, the suspension or the reason for the suspension."
On August 21 Monsignor Josef Wesolowski, the papal nuncio in Santo Domingo, was sacked without the Vatican sharing the news with the public.
On Wednesday, Vatican spokesman Federico Lombardi told the I.Media news agency on Vatican affairs that an investigation was under way in Rome into allegations of child sex abuse against him.
The Dominican press said the diplomat had sex for money with underage boys in the "Zona colonial", the historic centre of Santo Domingo.
Wesolowski, a 65-year-old Pole who has been the papal envoy in Santo Domingo for five years, was ordained in 1972 by the then Archbishop of Krakow, Cardinal Karol Wojtyla, who later became Pope John Paul II.
John Paul II appointed him nuncio to Bolivia, his first posting. Wesolowski also worked in several countries in Central Asia and was appointed to the Dominican Republic by Pope Benedict in 2008.
Pope Francis has vowed to crack down against abuse in the Catholic Church, reiterating the zero-tolerance approach eventually taken up by his predecessor Benedict following a wave of revelations.
In July, Francis bolstered criminal legislation against child abuse in the Vatican, issuing a decree that included "a broader definition of the category of crimes against minors" including child prostitution, sexual acts with children and child pornography."
The new laws introduce specific forms of crime that are indicated in international conventions that the Vatican has already ratified including against racism and war crimes and on children's rights.
"The Holy See is finally making up for a serious lag," the international children's rights organisation Terre des Hommes said in a statement hailing the changes.
The legislation applies to a few thousand people who are directly employed by the Vatican in Rome and abroad. Sex abuse cases which take place in other countries are dealt with under national legislations.
Although some observers welcomed the legislation as proof of Francis's commitment to tackling the paedophilia crisis that has plagued the Church over the past several years, the SNAP victims group criticised it as window dressing, slamming the decree as "tweaking often-ignored and ineffective internal church abuse guidelines to generate positive headlines but nothing more."

When I was sixteen I bought a map and hung it beside my bed. I put star-shaped stickers on the places I'd go as soon as I left home. I dreamed of all the exotic and wonderful cities I'd end up in. The people I'd meet and the things I'd feel. I was naïve enough to think I could survive solely on optimism.
I left home after graduation and I learned the things my parents feared. I learned that sometimes people are dishonest. Sometimes you over-prepare and psych yourself up and fall on your face anyway. Sometimes you find yourself on a park bench with thirty-six cents and no idea what to do next.
I learned that life doesn't care if you're twenty or scared of homesick. It doesn't care if you're poor or hungry or needing a second chance. Life takes what it wants and doesn't owe you an explanation for the things it takes.
These moments will unzip you. But, if you're wise, you'll shed what you need to move forward. You'll realize it's okay to set things down just because they're heavy and you don't want to carry them anymore. It's okay to let go of things that used to be true but no longer feel honest.
All of these lessons add up to something, although I'm not sure what. I just know that sometime during the past couple of years, my perspective shifted. I stopped seeing the world as a map with stickers on it. My world became a playground filled with contradictions. Beautiful and ugly. Light and heavy. Easy and hard. I used to think there was only one way to get where I should be going. Now I think maybe all roads eventually lead to our own personal mountaintop.
And if you're wondering what happens after you pick yourself up off that park bench with your thirty-six cents, I'll tell you what I did. I called home. I asked to come back.
It hadn't occurred to me that I was getting older until I was back on this street. The neighborhood I grew up in looks the same, but I'm not the same. I left home and the most terrible and wonderful and interesting things happened to me. And now I'm back.
I can see my parents' shadows on the porch in front of me as I approach our house and I don't feel what I think I should. I don't feel scared or excited. I don't feel ashamed or disappointed. I just feel like I am supposed to come back home. To the people who love me well when it matters. To the map beside my bed.

The person whose details I committed to memory. The person I want to forget sometimes, but can't.
I memorized you. Because if I memorized the freckles on your cheeks and the late night text messages, it'd somehow keep the details safe. All those details added up to something.
I ignored the signs. The ones that told me I was on the wrong path. I knew from the beginning it wouldn't work so I memorized the moments. Because that's all we get sometimes…
Moments. The ones that change us and break us into something better. The ones that keep us moving. Keep us writing. Keep us searching.
The one I can't forget. The one I memorized. The one with freckles.
I carved your name into the muscle of my heart. And, that's the things about hearts… they don't let you forget names you carved.
They just let you heal enough to add names and memorize new details.
Empty Hands
Posted in Life on August 22, 2013
It's the moment when you know you survived.
It's when you think about the people who you couldn't live without. You lost them anyway and you're still thriving. Because your life is a revolving door and when one person leaves another enters.
It's love. It's the best damn love you could have asked for and you don't understand it and you're not sure you deserve it. But it's there so you take it.
You have the power to withstand sorrow. You have the power to forgive. To do the best you can. And it's everything. It's so big and so small. It's beautiful and ugly. Heavy and light.
Your hands are empty. Your heart is free.
You survived.

How Love Gets In
Posted in Love on May 14, 2013
It's funny how people come into your life and fill holes you never knew you had.
Some days I don't understand how I met you or why you stay. I just know that you make things better. You make me better.
I've held so many hands and broken so many promises. I've loved quietly and fiercely and recklessly. I've been happy and sad and strong and broken.
I could write about all the ways you're special and amazing but that would be too easy. I need you to know that you filled a hole.
A hole the size of a girl who was never asked to a dance in high school. A hole the size of the monsters that came out of her closet at night. A hole the size of another failure. Another disappointment. Another lie.
I don't have to be broken for you to love me. I don't have to be happy for you to love me. I don't have to be yours for you to love me.
You just love me.
And your love fits perfectly inside this hole.
Open Letter To God
Posted in Faith on April 14, 2013
Sometimes I hate looking in the mirror.
Sometimes I see pictures of myself and can't handle the image staring back at me. I get overwhelmed and cry and tell the world to leave me alone. I don't know if I cry because I feel ugly, or if I cry because I realize there are some things in life that I have no control over. Some things that I will never have control over.
After these self-loathing tornadoes stop, I worry that you're mad at me.
I worry that I've disappointed you. That you shake your head and wonder if someone else should have had my place. You gave me a heart that beats and eyes that see but I am often so ungrateful.
I don't feel you the way I think I should. The way other people seem to feel you. I don't feel you at church right now. I don't feel you when I close my eyes before bed. I don't feel your comfort when I'm lost and lonely.
But, I do feel you.
I feel you when I run. Not because I'm actively choosing you, but because running makes me feel like you've chosen me. I run and I know you're not mad at me. How could you be mad when you've given me all these beautiful pieces that work so perfectly together? This heart. These lungs. These legs. How could I be anything but chosen when I feel you with me and we're both happy?
I know you have a plan for me. Maybe your plan right now isn't that I find you in church. Maybe it's not that I get on my knees every night. Maybe it's okay that I lace up my shoes to find you. That I run for those moments when life gets quiet. When the sound of my breathing is a prayer in itself.
I breathe in and I feel your pleasure.
I breathe out and I give you thanks.

Promises I Didn't Keep
Posted in Life on January 19, 2013
I lose sleep when I count the number of times I've lied to you.
I didn't understand certain things about the world. I thought if people knew that children were being hurt, they'd make it stop. That if you sat with enough social workers and enough people knew your story, they'd take you somewhere safe.
I used to tell you that everything would be okay. That the pain would stop because someone would intervene and get you out. I'd promise better things were coming if you could just hang on a little longer.
I don't promise you that anymore.
Now I tell you that the things done to you should have never happened to a girl your age. I tell you that it's not okay. It will never be okay. And someone should have been there to protect you.
But I no longer tell you it will stop. I don't promise better things will happen soon. Because I don't know if that's true… And you deserve truth.
I now tell you things I know to be true.
That, honey, you have to be strong. Stronger than what seems fair or possible. Stronger than all the other girls in your grade.
You have to be kind. Even though the world has not been kind to you. You have to responsible for your own feelings because harboring bitterness will just prolong the pain. You have to find people who will love and accept you. You have to learn to accept their love and have courage to love them back.
You have to envision your happiest dream in front of you and run toward it. Let it be your mantra. The thing you play over and over while putting on your shoes for school and brushing your teeth before bed.
You have to keep going, even when it hurts. That's the truth.

Daily News
---- — FROM THE DEN AT HOME — "Jack Reacher" is an enjoyable, fast-moving, action romp, with Tom Cruise in the lead, charismatically playing the eponymous title character, a former US Army MP turned do-gooder, vagabond private investigator, and all-around brawler/warrior.
Cruise does a good job here making the most of a character that's decidedly undercooked. Reacher is hardly the film's only underdeveloped character, though; that description fits all the characters, and all the actors do solid jobs making the most of relatively little.
The film's villain is a shadowy figure known only as the "Zec" (Russian for prisoner), a Mafioso-type who heads a group of Russian gangsters, all with military training and experience.
Who is the Zec, I wanted to know. How much time did he spend in prison, and what was his time there like? He seems like an awful, deplorable and deadly-dangerous human being, but we never learn much more about him than the impressions actor Werner Herzog conveys through the script. Make no mistake, though, Werner, who's far-better known as a documentarian writer and director, does a terrific, understated job breathing life into Zec, portraying the menace and danger without ever raising his voice.
What this film DOES do well (besides its performances), is move – and very quickly. Director and screenwriter Christopher McQuarrie ("Valkyrie") keeps things so tight and peppy, that answers to questions about character largely get lost in simply wanting to know what will happen next. And although the characters (and their relationships between) are underdeveloped, the dialogue is serviceably-written, and the story revolves around an industrial-conspiracy-driven plot that's fairly involving, straight forward and easy to follow.
Also adding a great deal of weight to the cast is veteran actor Robert Duvall, playing a former Marine Corps. Gunnery Sergeant who ultimately becomes Reacher's trigger-happy partner in bringing down the evil doers and rescuing damsel-in-distress defense attorney Helen Rodin (Rosamund Pike).
Early on, Rodin becomes legal counsel to one James Barr (Joseph Sikora), a former US Army Sniper who's framed for a mass murder by Zec's gang. Barr and Reacher have history, but although Reacher believes Barr is a psychotic mass murderer, Barr demands Reacher's help in proving his innocence. Reacher, tarnished Boy Scout that he is, answers the call and quickly finds himself enmeshed in Zec's conspiracy. He is, in fact, ultimately framed himself by Zec's gang, which transforms his quest to prove Barr's innocence into a simultaneous quest to clear his own name.
Although I find Cruise's real-life behavior and connections to Scientology distasteful, I'm compelled to give credit where it's due. He once more proves himself in this film to be a formidable screen presence – charming, charismatic, believable. He reminds us with this part why he's had such longevity and success as a Hollywood leading-man – no small feat for anyone regardless of religion or personal antics.
"Jack Reacher" isn't a film that will remain long in memory after the credits start, but it's nonetheless a fun, diverting ride, easily worth the price of a rental.

Plant compressed air is expensive to produce, and rising energy costs are driving industrial facilities to search for a method to estimate the energy savings potential in their plant compressed air system. Most compressed air users are not aware of and do not know how to properly estimate their current operating costs. This requires the expense of hiring a local auditor or compressed air consultant to come on-site and perform some type of assessment. There also exists no standardized report card or numerical rating method developed that represents the overall efficiency
level of the system that can be used for comparison between facilities or for tracking progress over time.
Years of in-the-field experience from auditing hundreds of compressed air systems over a wide cross-section of industries were drawn upon to identify the key principles driving the efficiency of a compressed air system. This led to developing the unbiased and technically sound questions targeting the supply and demand side of the air system along with an efficiency value assigned to each of the multiple-choice answers to these questions.
The Efficiency Quotient (EQ) rating worksheet is a two-page document. This worksheet determines the efficiency score for the air system, estimates the current operating cost, and estimates the energy savings potential with an attractive return on investment. It consists of four sections: the supply side EQ rating, energy calculation, demand side EQ rating, and the EQ summary. Separate scores are developed independently for the supply and demand EQ rating sections.
These two numbers are then averaged to determine the overall system EQ rating (efficiency) score. In the energy calculations section the total energy consumption is estimated. This calculation takes into account the quantity and sizes of the compressors and dryers, and the energy to cool the compressors is included in the estimated annual operating costs.
The EQ rating score is directly related to the savings potential in a compressed air system.
In Table 1 we can see how systems with a lower EQ rating are more expensive to operate and present a greater energy savings opportunity than those with a higher EQ rating.
We can also see that the EQ rating is a management tool for monitoring the efficiency of the air system over time. Air systems are very dynamic and change almost daily in most facilities, as new pieces of air-using equipment are added and production equipment is modified. Periodic evaluations of the EQ rating will serve as a way to see if there is continuous improvement taking place or if the system is losing efficiency by comparing the current EQ rating to previous evaluations.
Larger corporations can use the EQ rating method as a way to fairly evaluate the energy savings potential of all of their facilities. The plants can then be prioritized for further evaluation so that capital is spent on those facilities with the greatest opportunity for energy savings. This approach has the side benefit of documenting the compressed air equipment at each facility and an estimate of the current operating costs.
Below is a diagram of the supply and demand side of a compressed air system.
As illustrated in this diagram, the supply side consists of the equipment in the compressors room(s). The demand side refers to the piping and the various end users of the air. Efficiency rating scores are determined for each part of the system. Then the overall system EQ or efficiency rating is then determined by combining these numbers.
Page one of the EQ rating worksheet is shown below and consists of eight questions.
A numerical value is assigned to each multiple choice answer. After these are selected they are totaled and subtracted from 100 to determine the supply side EQ rating. A score of 100 represents the perfect air system which is not economically practical to implement. It does however give us a basis for comparison and a standard against which we can determine if the system is improving or becoming less efficient.
Before leaving the compressor room we complete the energy calculation section.
All of the compressors are listed and only those that typically operate are included in the calculation. Nominal values for the motor horsepower are used as some compressors are operating at full load which is typically 10-12 percent above the nominal motor horsepower rating while other compressors are trimming and using less than their nominal motor horsepower. Any dryers in the systems are also listed and the energy for cooling the compressors is also included. Both air-cooled and water-cooled compressors require additional energy to produce cooling of the air or the water.
We then move on to the demand side portion of the system. By walking around the facility we can look for and identify those applications and situations that are wasting compressed air.
The final section is the EQ Summary. Here we first calculate the overall EQ rating score by averaging the supply and demand side scores. We then use this score to look up the energy savings potential percentage from the table shown on the worksheet. By using the operating cost estimate calculated earlier with this savings percentage, we can then determine the estimated annual dollar amount of energy savings potential for the compressed air system.
Once the opportunity for energy savings has been estimated, the user can confirm the actual operating costs, determine the actual energy savings potential, and develop an action plan for implementation to capture the opportunity.
The EQ rating worksheet estimates the overall efficiency of the compressor system and is available for download at no cost to conduct your own walk-through. An EQ app is also available in the iTunes store. The app tool is a calculation "worksheet" that provides an estimate of overall operating costs, system efficiency level, and potential savings from having a complete EQ analysis performed.
By using the unbiased and technically sound EQ rating worksheet, any corporation can quickly and cost effectively estimate in-house the energy savings potential that exists in its compressed air system.

Great conditioner, terrible packaging
By Femme Fatale
from Army, Iraq
I love this stuff. Its a thick conditioner but is easily applied all the way to the tips. It smells good and really does make my curly hair smooth and soft. I agree with others that the bottle is a pain, I just leave it upside down so I don't have to squeeze it.
Great Product
I have thick, wild, curly hair and this is one of the best products I have used for the price. It performs better than salon brands and for a fraction of the cost. Its smells lovely and doesn't interfere with my dandruff shampoo either. Definitely sticking with SexyHair products.
Curly sexy hair conditioner
By healthy41
from Sioux Falls, SD
Okay I love the conditioner but the bottle style is hard to get the product out of it without twisting your wrists just right to squeeze the bottle very hard to get product out as it gets to bottom. If they change the style of the bottle/container it's in us people who use it won't get carpal tunnel symptoms or make our osteoarthritis in our hands any worse. Other than that this stuff works it moisturizes and reminds once more the hair is to be curly and sexy.
After shampooing with Curly Sexy Shampoo, work conditioner into damp hair and rinse.

OSHAWA, Ontario -- Stephane Da Costa was a star for Ottawa Sunday afternoon in Oshawa with a natural hat trick, lifting the Sens over the Blackhawks, 6-5.
"He's very intelligent and very skilled," Ottawa coach Kurt Kleinendorst said. "There aren't a lot of short cuts in his game."
The Sens began the scoring midway through the first period, with Andre Petersson capitalizing on a feed from Mika Zibanejad. Corey Cowick, who is having a standout tournament so far, added to his points total with another goal Sunday. Meanwhile, Zibanejad also scored the winning goal for the Sens, early in the third. Mark Stone, David Rundblad and Shane Prince contributed assists.
Brandon Saad continues to shine, with 2 goals and an assist on Sunday, giving him 5 points through two games. Jimmy Hayes also had a pair for the Blackhawks, while Peter Leblanc rounded out the scoring for Chicago. Assists came from Andrew Shaw, Phillip Danault, Shawn Lalonde and Joe Lavin.

New technology and the reality of working in global organizations means we are replacing traditional in-person meetings with travel-free, technology-enabled, face-to-face collaboration that can occur at anytime, with anyone, anywhere in the world.
The virtual workplace has many advantages, but it also introduces new challenges. We work with people we've never met before, and we cannot bond in the same way we do when we are sitting across the table from them.
The three most important ingredients of a successful virtual meeting are trust, communication and ready access to information. Here are a few tips to help you succeed:

The East Ridge is the area located above the Industrial Wall on the top of the Mouse Ears Crag. To approach this "complex" series of rocks, start at the mouth of the tunnel at the base of Mickey Mouse. Head north up a faint trail on the east side of the tracks that continues to the top of the ridge. From here the trail turns to the west and climbs up the ridge. There are a few cairns here and there to mark the way, but the general direction is pretty obvious. The goal to to cut back south and top out on the ridge followed by a class 4 downclimb to the base of the south side of the ridge. The best place to do this is a gully with a cairn on its west side. After the downclimb there are a couple of options depending on where one wishes to climb. To reach The Corridor, look up the hill and locate a large Douglas Fir at the mouth of a "corridor"/gully between two rock walls. Then simply scramble up there. Reaching The Garden of Stone requires that one continues southwest across the hillside to access the other side of the next ridge. Rossiter's book has a nice overhead drawing of the area on page 97 as well as some descriptions on how to get to each of these rocks. I didn't find the climbing on the East Ridge to be particularly good. However, most of the routes there seem not to be repeated too often, so there's definitely no chalk marks to "marr" the onsight attempt.
Getting There
If you can't find it after all that and using a guidebook, you don't deserve to climb there. Also a quick note on climbing here during the summer (August): it's something like Tom Selleck in Hawaii...that's right, there's Magnum "P.I." Just wear long pants.

Folklore Theorems, Implicit Maps and New Unit Root Limit Theory
AbstractThe delta method and continuous mapping theorem are among the most extensively used tools in asymptotic derivations in econometrics. Extensions of these methods are provided for sequences of functions, which are commonly encountered in applications, and where the usual methods sometimes fail. Important examples of failure arise in the use of simulation based estimation methods such as indirect inference. The paper explores the application of these methods to the indirect inference estimator (IIE) in first order autoregressive estimation. The IIE uses a binding function that is sample size dependent. Its limit theory relies on a sequence-based delta method in the stationary case and a sequence-based implicit continuous mapping theorem in unit root and local to unity cases. The new limit theory shows that the IIE achieves much more than bias correction. It changes the limit theory of the maximum likelihood estimator (MLE) when the autoregressive coefficient is in the locality of unity, reducing the bias and the variance of the MLE without affecting the limit theory of the MLE in the stationary case. Thus, in spite of the fact that the IIE is a continuously differentiable function of the MLE, the limit distribution of the IIE is not simply a scale multiple of the MLE but depends implicitly on the full binding function mapping. The unit root case therefore represents an important example of the failure of the delta method and shows the need for an implicit mapping extension of the continuous mapping theorem.

Watford beat Norwich City in an entertaining game eight years ago
5:30am Tuesday 21st January 2014 in Sport
Saturday, January 21, 2006
Watford triumphed via the odd goal in five in an entertaining game at Carrow Road that yielded 44 goal attempts.
Striker Marlon King, who was to be the division's leading scorer, was the creative force on this occasion setting up two equalisers for Darius Henderson and Matthew Spring's dramatic last-minute winner.
The victory helped protect Watford's play-off place; the four teams in the play-off positions after this result would retain them for all but three days of the rest of the season.

Curious about the newer model? Check out the 2015 Chrysler 200
By KBB.com Editors
KBB Expert Rating: 5.6
To the trained eye, the Chrysler 200 is a cleverly remade version of the company's former mid-size sedan, the Sebring. But look closer and you'll see so much more than just a modest facelift. The 200's suspension has been thoroughly overhauled, giving it impressive handling characteristics that feel better than those of the Accord or Camry. Its engine and transmission choices are also relatively new, and its interior looks as elegant as any Audi or Acura sedan. If Chrysler's 200 falls short, it's in the areas of fuel economy, rear-seat comfort and trunk space, where such as the Hyundai Sonata, Kia Optima and Toyota Camry are superior to the 200. However, unlike its competition, the 200 can be had in convertible form with the convenience of a retractable hard top.
If a powerful V6 engine, European-inspired ride and handling and a lavish interior are at the top of your mid-size sedan shopping list, the 2013 Chrysler 200 is tailor-made for you. The 200 Convertible offers seating for four and the only retractable hardtop in this price segment.
Although its entry-level price starts around $20,000, once you start to add options, pricing for the 2013 Chrysler 200 can quickly climb. If you're looking for class-leading fuel economy or a state-of-the-art 4-cylinder engine, the 200 isn't the best choice.
The 2013 Chrysler 200 receives only modest changes, with the popular S trim remade as a package for the Touring and Limited trims. A new 5-year/100,000-mile powertrain warranty backs the 200, and the convertible gets an upgraded suspension for a more engaging driving experience.
Driving Impressions From the point of view of a driving enthusiast, the 2013 Chrysler 200 mid-size sedan might be the biggest surprise of the year. Its 3.6-liter V6 has impressive power reserves...that allow the 200 to rocket from zero to 60 mph in just over six seconds, and to merge and pass with supreme confidence. And, despite its front-drive platform, we detected only minimal torque steer, even when launched hard from a standing stop. The 200's suspension provides a smooth and controlled ride, yet manages to keep the 200 relatively level in even the sharpest hairpin turns. Smooth, quiet and surprisingly fuel-efficient, the V6 is a far better choice than the buzzy 2.4-liter 4-cylinder. On long stretches of highway, the 200's steering required little input to keep the car on course, and uneven or grooved pavement did not upset its manners. With the available retractable hardtop in place, the 200 convertible is nearly as quiet inside as the sedan.
The old Sebring drove like a softly-sprung rental car, but the 2013 Chrysler 200's revamped suspension and steering place it at the top of its category. It's an unexpected but welcome pleasure.
Chrysler's newest audio units feature mapping by industry-leader Garmin. Not only is the system intuitively simple to operate, the large 6.5-inch screen makes it easy for older eyes to navigate the on-screen commands.
Goodbye, sow's ear; hello, silk purse. Deep blacks, rich browns and warm tans replace the old Chrysler interior palate of hard plastic finishes and dowdy colors. Sweeping, richly-textured, soft-touch surfaces display fewer seams but more chrome and metallic trim, elevating the 2013 Chrysler 200's cabin to Business Class if not First. Layered trim replaces unsightly gaps, and instrumentation combines modern function with classic style. Both cloth and leather seats are well-tailored, but rear legroom is tight if the front seats are adjusted for six-footers. A driver's lumbar adjuster and split-folding rear seatbacks are standard on every model. Noise insulation is admirable, which is great for Bluetooth users.Exterior
The 2013 Chrysler 200, as its name implies, looks more like a Chrysler 300 in training than an entry-level mid-size sedan. LED-accented headlights flank the new corporate grille. Chrome details are generous but tasteful, and 17- and 18-inch wheels add to its premium presence. The 200 sits lower than the Sebring, for a more aggressive stance, and Chrysler even took pains to conceal the more unsightly underpinnings visible on the old Sebring. The overall effect is a car that went to finishing school rather than being rushed to market.
The entry-level Chrysler 200 LX for 2013 features a 2.4-liter 4-cylinder engine, a 4-speed automatic transmission, power windows, mirrors and locks, keyless entry, remote trunk release, heated side mirrors, 17-inch wheel covers, air conditioning with filtration, tilt/telescoping steering wheel with audio controls, driver's-seat manual lumbar support and height adjustment, and an AM/FM stereo with MP3-compatible CD player and an auxiliary audio input jack. Instruments feature LED lighting, an outside temperature display and an analog clock. Standard safety features include 4-wheel anti-lock disc brakes, electronic traction and stability control, front-seat side-impact airbags, and front and rear side-curtain airbags.
Above the 200 LX, the two up-level trims are the Touring and Limited, each of which can be equipped with the new S trim package that includes 18-inch wheels, black-finish grille and blackout surrounds. Standard on the Touring and Limited is a 6-speed automatic transmission, aluminum-alloy wheels, automatic on/off headlights, 8-way power driver's seat and SiriusXM Satellite Radio. The luxury-oriented Limited adds a V6 engine, leather, heated front seats, 17-inch wheels, touch-screen audio system with a hard drive (though navigation is optional on all but the LX), foglights, Boston Acoustic audio, remote start and Chrysler's UConnect hands-free phone setup.
Chrysler's 2.4-liter 4-cylinder is not the most refined engine in its class but, with 173 horsepower on tap, it's not the weakest either. When paired with the 6-speed transmission, this engine can move the 2013 Chrysler 200 briskly and promises fuel economy near the top of its class. For an extra $1,750, the 3.6-liter Pentastar V6 is the engine to have. Smooth, potent and nearly as efficient, it turns the 200 from a sleeper to a keeper.

"We have had this car for about 6 months now after purchasing it used. When sticker shopping and review shopping this car came back with a lower than average price for a much better than average combined review. The first thing I noticed when driving the car was how solid it feels with a CURB WEIGHT of 3402 lbs and the 173 HP engine. For a family car it gets up to speed well when called for and is not bad on miles per gallon. If I had it to do over, I would buy this car again. We are very happy with it."

"I love this car. My family now has one extra car now that our daughter has moved to Hawaii and this is the one we are parting with. I was drawn to the 200S (6cyl) for the price. I was blown away when I sat in this car in the dealer's showroom! The 200S has tons of features (navigation, leather, etc) for thousands less than other luxury sedans. The interior looked like something from a BMW or Lexus, compared to the cheap interiors of other major brands. The car is very comfortable on long and short trips and is super fun to drive. Gas mileage is amazing and we have never experienced any mechanical issues with the car."

Daphna Simon Jewelry

Daphna Simon's Jewelery has a gorgeous, naturally inspired, yet edgy look and feel ~ and i love her use of the wood and her perched leopard, grizzly, and wolf on her rings.
This week's NotCouture roundup was mainly inspired by mirrormirror's post about Acne launching a collection of men's underwear, then noticing that some Fall items like jackets and hoodies were trickling in, and that was an amusing contrast. I went on a search for some cool underwear for the guys but either the selection is pretty limited (if that's the case, I feel sorry for guys!) or I just don't know where to look for it..? But it wasn't hard to find pretty pieces for the girls from favorite labels like VPL and The Lake and Stars. So whether you're stripping down or covering up, feel free to share what you're wearing (or wish you were wearing)!
Modern Amusement is finally coming out with a Women's collection for Autumn '08, and I didn't even have to see the lookbook to know that I'd be really into the clothes. I've liked Modern Amusement's guys' collection for awhile now. It's one of those labels that is the epitome of SoCal for me… the perfect blend of casualness and sophistication (like say, 60/40 casual/sophisticated). I love the dark colors with pops of color and white, the sheer fabric, and all those pleats and pintucks! The women's collection will be available in stores beginning August 15th and I can't wait to get my hands on it. More looks after the jump!
While dropping something off for Andy at A+R in venice, i popped next door to Vert, the "high end luxury retail store specializing in all natural, eco-friendly products" primarily focused on health and beauty. While there, i was drawn to the packaging of the Ayurvedic line, Pratima.
As they showed me each and every product, and explained the process of the products, i was as much intrigued by the experience of each product (from smells to textures) as the packaging and background. Completely natural, ingredients from india, the only spa/clinic in Soho, and Vert is the only one carrying the line outside of the Pratima Spa. The line is also surprisingly affordable. The facial cleansers start out in a sandy, powder which you mix with water. For moisture, you mix a few drops of the liposomes with a few drops of the essential oils and massage it into your skin. Additionally they also have masks, oils for various treatments, body oils, creams, and more. The Anti-Stress Aroma Oil is already doing wonders for my workaholic day! Take a look at the next page for more pics of the packaging and display, as well as some background on Dr. Pratima Raichur, and a peek at Vert!
On fascinating new uses for nanotech-engraving… Adidas has launched adiThread on their "This Is Not A Jersey" site - where supporters of the New Zealand All Blacks team can get closer than ever to the players, and literally come together to form the thread of the jerseys with their names! See stills from the video, and more from the campaign below. Even go add your name to the thread at adiThread!
NotCouture user "smallsociety" posted the crazy sequin covered military hooded jacket in post #2319 and since then I've been thinking about how we incorporate bright and shiny things into our wardrobes. In this short NotCouture roundup (it's short because, honestly, I'm enjoying being completely zombified by a different type of bright, shiny object in my living room.. my new tv) we've covered a few of the bases, from jewelry to over the top stuff like an LED lit dress and metallic slip-ons for guys!
NOTCOT Note: Here's a new post from Anna of Sub-Studio. I'd also like to say congrats to Jason Gregory on Makr, which he coincidentally emailed me about earlier last week ~ the leather line of simple wallets are stunning!
I saw these über-sexy wallets over at Kitsune Noir. Made by Makr, each wallet is laser-etched on leather. They are all limited edition, so you'd better click over there fast if you want one! The wallet patterns are minimal and functional, with little surprise details here and there (detail images after the jump).
The wallets from the One series (above) are super simple in shape and function - a single pocket card holder for cards and folded cash. Maximized for ergonomic comfort, the curves of the opening mimic the natural position of thumb and forefinger. See more on the next page, as well as the full press release and link to the line sheet.
It's felt like Friday every day this week! No idea why, perhaps its the weather, or how productive we've been suddenly… today's been quiet because we've been busy playing with iphone apps, trying the rather hyped new Anisette Brasserie, finally seeing Wanted (LOVE it - but i'm a sucker for action), and checking out the launch of the new Indigo Farm Pop Up Shop at Fred Segal Man in Santa Monica.
Ok packaging fetish time: the denim in this beautiful 20 piece limited edition collection, and only 50 or 60 units per style, come in engraved wooden boxes. And to top those gorgeous boxes… "For the truly devoted collector, there are also three 3-piece sets of handmade denim luggage, each one including a steamer trunk lined in 100-year-old Asian woodblock printed poplin." See the close ups of the black and white woodblock print on the next page, i was absolutely taken by these woody/denim steamer trunks.
Next thing i gushed over: the space! "Warhol Factory X Levi's X Damien Hirst designer Adrian Nyman presents his second installation at Fred Segal Man in Santa Monica, a capsule collection with cult Hong Kong denim brand Indigo Farm, making its U.S. debut here exclusively from July 1st to August 14th." What does this mean? Much like those steamer trunks, the whole room was denim or wood, from floor to ceiling. The walls were all denim or stacked with firewood, creating a fabulous multifaceted effect. And to add to the ambiance, there was the tattooed rocker of a banjo player, Elijah Trotsky, which was quite mesmerizing. So take a look on the next page to catch up on tonight's scene…
Since the American Apparel Thermachromatic Tees post last week ~ we also noticed the LA Times Image article today picking up the comeback of hypercolor as a new "trend" (as seen on .org #11727)~ and so out of curiosity i had to go find the Anzevino and Florence tees, tanks, dresses, and scarves mentioned! While i'm still a bit mixed on how to feel about these, its fascinating none the less, and a scarf could be fun to play with! The photography on the Anzevino and Florence Colour Change collection is pretty much as creepy seeming as the American Apparel ones, strangely enough - however, it is awesome that theirs don't go between color/white, but color to color! And the cuts look far more fun and playful than the American Apparel selection… See more pics on the next page ~ and shop for them on the AZFN site.
It's that time again… NotCouture roundup! Click the pics to find out more!
Hope you all had a great 4th of July! And now the work week approaches which is reason enough to give anyone the summertime blues. Here are some items to help you express your inner blueness, and one crazy silver crab bracelet that's just too awesome not to share!
American Apparel Thermochromatic Sheer Jersey T-Shirt!!! I know this is going to sound pretty silly, but first i went over to American Apparel because i was in disbelief that they are making Oxford Shirts… and quickly got distracted by the idea of heat-colorchanging/mood shirts! At which point, Linhchi quickly caught me up that they were bringing the 80s/90s back - and somehow i totally missed that trend as a little kid… but i want one! To play with? Work out in?
And then we hit up Wikipedia - so, catch up on Hypercolor: "Hypercolor was a line of clothing, mainly T-shirts and shorts, that changed color with heat. They were manufactured by Generra (now a division of Public Clothing Company) and marketed in the United States as Generra Hypercolor or Generra Hypergrafix and outside the US as Global Hypercolor. They contained a thermochromic (temperature sensitive) pigment made by Matsui Shikiso Chemical of Japan, that changed between two colors-one when cold, one when warm. The shirts were produced with several color change choices from the late 1980s until the early 1990s. Unfortunately the effect could easily be permanently damaged, particularly when the clothing was placed in a hotter than recommended wash." and on vaguer research, read about Thermochromism (think mood ring tech)…
OH - and see the video of the AA girl microwaving the shirt to white, then wearing it into the freezer!
NotCouture Roundup! You know the drill, click the images to find out more!
4th of July weekend is coming up, so we thought we'd pick some stuff that you can wear to all those upcoming backyard pool parties and BBQs. From cute poolside attire to lightweight shirts and jackets, we've got you covered!
The Ojon Rare Harvest Takawa "Ball" - as it popped up on Sephora, and all around the beauty sites, the stock photos of it intrigued me to no end… I needed to know how they packaged that ~ what it was ~ and ultimately, what does it feel like to rub what is essentially a giant dark chocolate ball on your body like a mud mask???
SO, i bought one for NOTCOT's sake ~ to indulge and share my curiosity with you. The packaging is awesome, from the cardboard tube, to the saturn/ufo looking molded papery holder, to the foil wrapped baseball sized cacao ball, to the wooden bowl (made in china)… its not to be missed! So it has definitely won me over as far as packaging and presentation/experience - and after trying it out in the shower, my skin feels pretty amazing as well… so full unpackaging walk through on the next page, as well as more info/vids on what it actually is!
Click the images to find out more! Today is a scorcher up and down California ~ Linhchi (SF) and i (LA) are dying in the heat, and i'm about to head out to Point Dume (where unfortunately that amazing Iron Man house fictitiously exists) for a birthday bash… but while we were trying to figure out what to wear to beat this weather and still look good… we though a proper roundup was in order! So top row we have sun dresses and shorts for the ladies, middle is sandals and sunglasses ~ and bottom row is all boys! If you feel like contributing to the cause, come add your summer survival wear to NotCouture!
Flipping through a free issue of Malibu magazine that i grabbed from our usual thai place… i noticed an ad for Surfmonk… and while i have managed to live in many a beachy cities/towns, i never did manage to get on a surfboard, but do feel most at home bumming out on the beach… (the TasteSpotting drama that has yet to die down has been tormenting me for about 2 months now… maybe that's why i'm suddenly finding myself hunting for cozy, comfy, relaxing products/environments lately).
Anyhow, Surfmonk! A line of eco-friendly bamboo terry robes, cover-ups, blankets, and more for men, women, and even kids! They range from full length friar tuck/jedi robes to these shorter cover-up hoodies i'm coveting, and i love the way their cozy looking beach blanket has a padded shoulder strap… also check out the cute knee length fanny wrap and more close ups on the next page! So tempting, to grab some, a good book, and road trip down the coast stopping and laying out on the beaches all the way down…

Top five recruit Stephen Zimmermann gets a lot of mail (PHOTO)
Sep 12, 2013, 11:08 AM EDT
Those are all the letters that Stephen Zimmermann, a seven-footer and top five recruit in the Class of 2015, got in the mail yesterday.
There are some pretty big names there — Kansas, Baylor, Indiana, Michigan, North Carolina — but what's most notable is the fact that UNLV sent 86 letters to Zimmermann.
In one day!
That may be overkill, but it's certainly a way for the Rebels to show Zimmermann that they want him to head to UNLV. And it's a way to get attention. Think about it like this: Rick Pitino had an in-home visit with the Zimmermanns on Wednesday. Coach Cal is heading there tomorrow. But we're not writing about that here, we're writing about the 86 letters that UNLV sent one kid in one day.
Here's the funny part to me: they just wasted something like $40 in postage. Zimmermann is a Las Vegas native. Why not just send an manager over to stuff the letters in his mailbox? He could steal the letters from the other schools in the process. Think about that pitch. "We're the only ones sending you letters, and we sent you 86 of them. We clearly want you to play for us more than any other school in the country."
At the end of the day, I just really hope that the Zimmermann's recycle.

LOUISVILLE, KY (WAVE) – Here are 10 things Kentuckiana will be talking about today:
1: Storms: A low pressure system moves over us bringing showers this morning and a risk of strong storms this afternoon. There is a slight risk of severe storms to the south of Louisville for gusty winds. We will be monitoring rainfall amounts across WAVE Country today for this threat of localized flooding.
2: Free Meals: Three out of every four students at Jefferson County Public Schools would qualify for a free lunch under a proposal the school board will consider Tuesday. JCPS administrators are looking to join a federal program that would allow 55,000 students at 95 schools to receive free meals, regardless of their parents' income. It would mean hundreds of dollars in savings for some parents, while the federal government reimburses the district for providing the free meals for more students.
3: Dixie Highway: Big changes including five new town centers filled with restaurants and stores may be down the road for Dixie Highway. Monday during a brainstorming session pedestrian safety was at the top of the list for the centers which may extend up to one mile long. Developers pointed to recent accidents as the cause for concern. One of them happened last April after a man died while trying to walk across Dixie's six lanes. The accidents are so prevalent, they've now caught the attention of the Federal Highway Administration.
4: Attack: New Albany police shot and killed a pair of loose dogs after they attacked and hurt a neighbor. When authorities arrived on the scene after the attack EMTs helped the victim, George Underhill, while officers found the dogs nearby. Animal control officers tried to detain the dogs but when they became more aggressive the officer asked police to step in. that's when they shot and killed the dogs.
5: Shooting: A lot of questions remain after a man who shot while driving down the Gene Snyder Freeway, or Interstate 265. On Monday Louisville Metro police held a press conference where they released few details about the case. They said since there have been no arrests made in the case, they do not know the motive behind the shooting.
6: Apology: Probably no one was more disappointed with California Chrome's 4th place finish in the Belmont than his co-owner Steve Coburn. His rant after the race gained almost as much attention as the race itself. Monday he apologized but was it the sportsmanship we'd all been wanting to see from Coburn or too little too late?
7: Underage Drinking: As students across Kentuckiana graduate high school and summer break goes into full swing, it's no secret underage drinking parties will start to pick up. But there is a reason law enforcement agencies and community groups are particularly concerned in southern Indiana. While the state of Indiana consistently seems to sit above the national average for teenage drinking, the southeastern counties rank above state averages.
8: Statement: The family of a young bride, killed in a car crash, is thanking Kentucky for caring for Ashlee Berry. Berry was killed when heading home to her fiancé. She was hit head on by a van on the Joe Prather Highway. The driver of that van is accused of kidnapping three children and fleeing from police.
9: Murder-Suicide: Indiana authorities say the married couple who police say killed three people in Las Vegas had lived in the Lafayette area before moving west.
10: Diploma: A high school senior who likely taught his teachers and fellow students a few things about life received his diploma Monday. Ten years ago when Willie Burton was just 8 years old he was making news as the first person in Kentuckiana to use a hartwalker device.
