The time has come for Turkish strategists to adopt a greater strategic vision
for the Eastern Mediterranean basin and the Cyprus dispute which must be more
integrated with the Middle Eastern affairs. As a matter of fact, such a new
paradigm should cover a wide array of issues including the Turkish-Israeli
relations, energy security, and the possible rise of a pro-Tehran/pro-Hezbollah
Alawite state in Syria.Throughout recent political history, Turkish
strategists mostly perceived the Cyprus issue and the Eastern Mediterranean
basin within the framework of Turkish-Greek competition, NATO and the EU agenda.
A quick scan of several Turkish think tanks' geostrategic categorization would
confirm this assertion. Moreover, most of Turkey's Cyprus experts prefer Greek
as a regional foreign language skill and focus on Turkish-Greek relations, EU
affairs, and international law. Practically none of Turkey's Cyprus experts are
skilled in Arabic or Hebrew languages, naval strategy background, and
Turkish-Israeli or Turkish-Arab relations.In brief, regardless of their
ideological differences, a wide spectrum of Turkish strategists consistently
reduces the Cyprus issue and even Eastern Mediterranean affairs to a simple
Turkish- Greek confrontation reading.However, assessing the Cyprus issue
within the narrow framework of Turkish-Greek relations or EU affairs is
geopolitically flawed. The island of Cyprus is located at the intersection of
Anatolia, the Middle East and North Africa. It is in the easy reach of Turkey,
Syria, Lebanon, Egypt and Israel. It should especially be noted that Turkey,
Lebanon, Syria and Israel are geographically closer to the island than
Greece.Furthermore, the island is located in the Levant sea basin of the
Mediterranean which covers the area between North Africa (Libya, Egypt), Turkey,
Lebanon, the Gaza Strip and Israel.Therefore, Cyprus possesses
geopolitical integrity with the Greater Middle East or the Middle East and North
Africa (MENA).Furthermore, past events related to the Eastern
Mediterranean have prompted additional political, economic and military tensions
in the region. First, Greek Cypriots signed Economic Exploitation Zone (EEZ)
agreements with Lebanon in 2003, then with Egypt in 2007 and recently with
Israel in 2011. Additionally, by declaring an EEZ with 13 Exploration Blocs in
2007, they attempted to consolidate their licensing authority. In particular,
Greek Cypriots' cooperation with Israel in the energy field can bring about
additional tensions to Turkish- Israeli relations.In parallel, it was
meaningful that Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu stressed Turkey as "the longest
coastal state to Mediterranean" when he reacted against the leaked Palmer Report
in September 2011. Due to international law, coastal parameters hold special
importance in EEZ calculations.As a matter of fact, following the
flotilla incident in 2010, the high-level diplomatic contact between Israel and
Greek Cypriot administration is noteworthy. In February 2012, for the first
time, an Israeli prime minister visited the Greek Cypriot administration, right
after President Peres' visit in November 2011. Moreover, the visit of Demetris
Eliades, the defense minister of Greek Cypriot administration, in January 2012
and signings of two agreements on defense cooperation, and "exchange of
classified information" is a developing concern for Ankara.The
turbulently changing security environment in the Eastern Mediterranean is not
limited to Israeli-Turkish tensions, and is far from over. Indeed, a set of
interrelated military-political factors continue to make the sea basin further
engaged in the current troublesome Middle Eastern agenda.Firstly,
Moscow's steady support for the Ba'athist tyranny in Syria is directly related
to the future of a Russian naval base in Tartus. Due to the historical
paradigm, which is a remnant of Tsarism, Russian strategic thought seeks to
avoid being caged in the frozen seas.Secondly, some argue that one of
the Damascus' objectives in its bloody crackdown is to pave the way for keeping
the geostrategic necessities for a possible Alawite state on the Mediterranean
coast, in case of a limited defeat against the uprising. According to this point
of view, the Assad dictatorship focuses on isolating Sunni-dominated areas from
the Mediterranean shores of the country, and more importantly, encouraging
Alawite migration toward the shores. Thus, by depending on Russian and Iranian
support, a lower-scale Ba'athist rule may survive in a divided Syria.If
this scenario comes true, then a pro-Tehran Alawite state will be established as
another shareholder of the Eastern Mediterranean. It should be emphasized that
such a political structure will be in close accord with Hezbollah which
currently controls the energy ministry in Lebanon. And it should also be
emphasized that such an anti-Turkey Ba'athist state would have geopolitically
superior naval projection capabilities toward Northern Cyprus than would Greece.
A Turkish fighter jet shot down by the Syrian air defenses when flying over
international waters in June gives some idea of the significance of the pressing
danger.Furthermore, the Greek administration of Southern Cyprus has
always been a safe haven for the Kurdish Workers' Party (PKK) militants, thus,
the seizure of Syria's Mediterranean shores by Ba'athist elements might be
tantamount to the establishment of a PKK terrorist maritime crescent against
Turkey from the Southern Cyprus to Latakiya. Moreover, Egypt has opened
the Suez Canal to Iranian warships since February 2011.Therefore,
Ankara's main rival in the sectarianpolitical tensions of the Middle East,
Tehran, is now in capable of acting in the Mediterranean where it has key and
rogue allies like Syria and Hezbollah. Thus, the sea basin has become a key
component of the Middle Eastern regional security environment.In brief,
the current situation highlights the increased and intensive integration between
the political agendas of Middle Eastern and Mediterranean affairs. This
integration necessitates a new geopolitical understanding and new geostrategic
imperatives. In the future, Middle Eastern conflicts are expected to have strong
reflections and implications in the sea basin.In addition, hereafter
either worsening or restoration of Israeli-Turkish relations has to cover the
Eastern Mediterranean affairs. Finally, from now on, the Cyprus dispute will not
be defined by the romantic and revisionist character of Hellenistic fantasies,
but the true geostrategic facts of the Middle Eastern turbulence.The

Strategic Studies at Bar-Ilan University, holds a PhD from the Turkish War
College, and a master's degree from the Turkish Military Academy.

St. Thomas lands $347M in first year of 8-year, $500M campaign
Send this to a friend
- Katharine Grayson
- Staff Writer
Consultant Bruce Flessner travels across the country every year advising colleges and universities on how to mount fundraising campaigns. And each time he visits with a Catholic institution, he hears this question: Do you work with University of St. Thomas, and how do they do it?
Since launching its Opening Doors campaign last fall, St. Thomas has raised upward of $347 million. A big chunk of that funding has come from eye-popping single contributions: $60 million from Lee and Penny Anderson to build a student center; $50 million from an anonymous donor for the Opus College of Business; and $10 million from Eugene and Mary Frey to fund scholarships. On top of that, real estate developer Kirt Woodhouse donated a Frank Gehry-designed guest house, whose appraised value exceeds $4 million.
All told, the school is well past the halfway mark toward its goal of raising $500 million over eight years. And it still has a little more than seven years left to go.
So how does St. Thomas do it?
The answer, say school officials, begins with a standard process used by many institutions.
Steve Hoeppner, executive director of development for the school, asks regular donors, stakeholders and alumni about initiatives they'd be willing to back and their appetite for giving. The university then sets a goal, aiming "to push the envelope a little bit," Hoeppner said.
With the Opening Doors campaign, St. Thomas is hoping to raise $130 million to fund financial aid, $57 million for endowed faculty positions, and millions more to support the School of Law, the Opus College's Center for Ethical Business Cultures and various building projects.

Flawed school pay system 'rushed'
Relevant offers
National News
A key figure involved in setting up the Novopay service says the Education Ministry rushed out the system because it was desperate to meet self-imposed deadlines.
School Payroll Reference Group adviser and Baradene College principal Sandy Pasley says the rushed decision saw mistakes occur before the error-ridden payroll even launched. She also says Talent2, the firm that designed Novopay, completely misjudged the complexities of the project and the Education Ministry relied on that flawed judgment. The reference group was assembled in 2008 to give feedback to the ministry on Novopay. However, advisers could not make decisions.
Pasley said Novopay was meant to roll out in stages so problems could be identified early and fixed.
"Right up to last year there was going to be a staged rollout and we talked about trialling Novopay," she said. "It should have been trialled on a smaller basis first. But it got to the stage where it was so complex to put together and the deadline was looming."
Instead, it was pushed out nationwide in August - leading to countless mistakes, with more than 8000 logged errors in teachers' pay.
Some staff have not been paid since the launch.
A breach of security revealed last week in the Sunday Star-Times meant staff at Auckland school Marshall Laing Primary were given access to hundreds of teachers' banks accounts and personal details.
Pasley said a rollout as planned could have limited this kind of problem.
"I'm really disappointed that it couldn't have been trialled with a much, much smaller population first. Some of these problems might have surfaced and been ironed out before it went nationwide."
Education Ministry group manager Rebecca Elvy admitted the original intent was to roll Novopay out in stages. The South Island should have received the service in 2010 and the North Island in 2011.
"This was an agreed decision by the ministry and Talent2," she said.
But "time pressures made a staged rollout not feasible" and it was decided all schools would go live on the same date, August 20 this year.
Pasley said the delay could be blamed on Talent2 not realising the intricacy of the project.
"Maybe Talent2 misjudged the complexities of the New Zealand payroll system," she said.
"I think the Ministry of Education relied on Talent2 to deliver, so have the whole sector."
The ministry has stood by claims Novopay was "rigorously tested" prior to its implementation.
"In addition to the continuous testing of system features as they were developed, there were two full simulations and six cycles of payroll verification before go live," Elvy said.
However, Pasley isn't convinced the ministry and Talent2 did enough.
Elvy would not comment on what accuracy the ministry required from Talent2, nor what accuracy it was currently performing at.
"The answer to both of these questions is commercial and in confidence. We cannot disclose this without breaching our terms of the contract," she said.

Emo Philips
Features:Price: $20
The Bridgetown Comedy Festival ended in May, but they're doing their best to keep the laughs going all year with shows sprinkled throughout the Bridgetown downtime. The first post-festival show features Emo Philips, the seasoned comedian with an odd, falsetto delivery that has audience members chuckling even before the punchline. If you haven't seen him perform before (including at this year's Bridgetown Comedy Festival) you might recognize his voice from cartoons like Space Ghost: Coast to Coast and Adventure Time.

50+: Live Better, Longer
Breaking Up With Your Doctor
Brenda Della Casa had been seeing her primary care physician for two years and had brushed off her concerns about getting rushed care - until she had a health scare she couldn't ignore. She told her doctor she was experiencing terrible back pain and stomachaches. Her doctor checked her, said she was fine, and sent her on her way.
Five days later, Della Casa, an author and dating coach in Chicago, was traveling and had pains so severe she could barely move. When she received a voicemail from her doctor saying she had "misread her results" and needed to be treated immediately for a kidney infection, she was furious. "I decided then and there I would never see her again," Della Casa tells WebMD.

Read the Health Highlights: September, Healthy Aging Month article > >
Breaking up with your doctor is not a choice most people take lightly, but there may come a time when it's the single best decision for you and your health. Some patients have had complaints that have been mounting over the years. Others decide to fire their doctor after one heated episode - perhaps because of a missed diagnosis like Della Casa, a disagreeable interaction, or a health concern that was dismissed.
"Patients don't want to break up with their doctor," says Gregory Makoul, PhD, Chief Academic Officer at Saint Francis Hospital and Medical Center in Hartford, Conn. "They will often put up with a relationship that isn't going great for them."
But that may be a mistake.
"It's critical to remember it's a relationship," Makoul tells WebMD. "People often think it's a one-way relationship, but the doctor is invested, too. If you think it's a business transaction, you're missing an important part of the picture."
Wait, Can You Hear Me Now?
Ann Middleman, a marketing research consultant in Westbury, N.Y., had been seeing the same ob-gyn for more than eight years. During a routine check-up, she was surprised to learn she had gained 10 pounds. When she asked if her thyroid should be checked, her question was dismissed. Instead, the doctor responded, "You eat too much!"

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
Photo enforcement gets upgrade
Cameras to go digital, while vehicles to get laser systems
You won't notice it other than the photograph of your speeding car will be clearer.
In about six weeks, the internal workings of Winnipeg's decade-old intersection cameras will be quietly changed from old-style wet film to modern digital cameras.
At the same time, four of the 10 mobile photo-radar vehicles will be outfitted with more accurate photo-laser systems.
The switch has been years in the making and is aimed at not only modernizing the photo-enforcement program, but also seeing fewer tickets challenged in court.
Police have said they've noted a "disturbing trend," in which more people fight traffic tickets, forcing officers to spend more time away from their usual traffic-enforcement duties or work overtime to appear in court. That, in turn, limits traffic-ticket revenues and increases costs to police.
Digital cameras are also expected to be cheaper for provider ACS Public Sector Solutions to operate. That opens the door for even more intersection cameras to become active. There are 50 intersection-camera locations in Winnipeg, but only 33 are equipped with an active camera at any one time as the cameras rotate through the system.
"At some point, they'll all be live," Winnipeg police Staff Sgt. Rob Riffel said Tuesday. Empty camera locations will get digital cameras first, and as film stock runs out, digital cameras will replace the older cameras.
Riffel also said the newer laser equipment allows police to set up in more areas where they were hamstrung by radar's limitations. Laser also reduces the criticism levelled at police for using photo radar in places such as Grant Avenue near Nathaniel Street. Anti-camera advocacy group WiseUp Winnipeg claims the radar's beam is reflected by metal objects and produces inaccurate speed readings, which in turn has led to more court challenges.
"The nice thing about the laser is that it's totally portable," Riffel said. "All the vehicles are going to be digital photo radar, but then we'll also have four laser units that can move between vehicles."
Despite the prospect of more intersection cameras and use of photo laser, police do not expect the number of speeding violations to rise dramatically.
Police anticipate there will be a spike due to the new technology, but as seen already they believe there will be an eventual reduction in tickets as motorists adjust their driving behaviour. Since 2003, when the program began, there has been a 55 per cent reduction in speeding offences issued by the cameras as more drivers learn where the cameras are and slow down.
The camera switch-over comes after city council approved a new photo-radar contract with ACS Public Sector Solutions that lasts until 2020. The province has recently enacted new regulations to allow for digital and laser equipment.
The contract is worth $21 million -- the amount of money the camera system will generate in fines.
"That's the beauty about this -- it's a system that pays for itself," Riffel said. "If the province next week gets rid of photo radar, the city is not on the hook for a dime."
Under the contract, ACS Public Sector Solutions retains a portion of ticket revenue with excess money going to city police. In 2011, the last year figures are available, total photo-enforcement revenue was $8,988,117. The cost to ACS of running the program was $5,263,232. That left a surplus of $3,724,885 that went into the police budget.
Clearly, that's a traffic offence
THE new intersection speed cameras will operate much like your digital camera.
They will take high-resolution photos in JPEG or TIF format and be saved on a memory hard drive, flash stick or card. Memory will be large enough to record no less than 400 violations at two photos each.
The cameras will take colour images for court purposes, but tickets will issued in black and white to save money on printing.
Meanwhile, four mobile photo radar units will be outfitted with new laser devices with high-resolution digital cameras. They will be used to enforce the speed limit for approaching traffic, receding traffic and simultaneous detection of both approaching and receding traffic.
Police say digital technology will generate additional offences due to clearer images. It will also be less expensive to operate than processing wet film from photo-enforcement cameras that have been in use since the program started in January 2003.

NBA Playoffs: Dallas looks to rebound. Literally.
Jun 2, 2011, 1:38 PM EST
Dallas learned some hard lessons and was asked some hard questions in their Game 1 loss in the NBA finals. What do they have to do to rebound from that and even their series with the Heat?
Mavericks coach Rick Carlisle said "rebound" so often during his Thursday morning meeting with the press it sounded like his meditation mantra. The Mavericks gave up 16 offensive rebounds in Game 1 — Dallas is the taller team and in theory should have the rebounding advantage. But as pointed out over at NBA Playbook, the Heat's ball movement and dribble penetration forced a lot of defensive rotations by the Mavericks and by the second or third they lost shape and lost their rebounding position. Don't expect that to happen again.
Also, Dirk Nowitzki has to be a bigger rebounding force. When Tyson Chandler rotates out to help on defense, Dirk has to dominate the boards. He did not in Game 1.
But it's going to take more for Dallas to bounce back.
They are going to have to adjust to the perimeter athleticism and the speed of the Heat's defensive closeout, then knock down their shots.
Many people point to Jason Terry and J.J. Barea missing looks they normally knock down in game 1 (they were a combined 4-of-18 shooting). That is somewhat true. But the speed of the closeouts by the Heat seemed to throw Dallas off, get them thinking and rushing a little. Dallas has to settle down, slow down and knock down those open looks to win one in Miami.
Miami shot the ball well from three in Game 1 and that will be another issue — LeBron hit 4-of-5 and he is almost impossible to defend when he can do that. As a team Miami shot 45.9 percent from three. The key reason is that 10 of their 24 three attempts came from the corner — where the shot is a foot shorter than out on the arc. The corner three is the most efficient shot in basketball and teams game plan to take that shot away (see the Spurs under Popovich if you want an example). Dallas cannot give up that shot because Mario Chalmers and others can hit it. Consistently.
There will be other keys to Game 2. Can Jason Kidd stick with Dwyane Wade, because he'll have to down the stretch. Can Nowitzki pay for Miami helping off of him (Miami did that but Dirk did not have a monster night)? Will the Mavericks use much zone at all and can they have better success with it than they did in Game 1 (when Miami had little problem with it).
But the biggest question is can Dallas close against the Heat? This was a close game where Miami pulled away in the final five minutes. LeBron James has become a force as a closer and we all know Wade can do it as well in the biggest of games. Dallas has to prove it can win in a close one with the Heat at some point, and they had better do it sooner rather than later.
If Dallas goes down 2-0 they are in serious trouble. Even heading back home. To win four out of five from the Heat, with their stars and they way they are playing now, is nearly impossible. This is not must win for Dallas, but it's close.
They have to rebound.
- silk32 - Jun 2, 2011 at 1:43 PM
The team(s) that gave Miami trouble during the regular season and the play-offs were able to punish them on the offensive glass. In the finals, Miami is punishing Dallas. This does not bode well and it goes beyond simply "boxing out" better.
- trueballs - Jun 2, 2011 at 3:05 PM
Miami was able to somehow wear down the young fast and athletic Bulls. Granted, Dallas has a much better offense than Chicago, but why shouldn't the same thing happen to them? They're older and slower. Then again, as I write this i'm imagining waterfalls of 3s from Terry and JKidd. Must-win for Dallas. They're not going to pull a reverse 2006.
- jordinh - Jun 2, 2011 at 3:24 PM
If your a Mavs fan like me…
The Good: Neither team played well, but Dallas showed they can D against Miami and hang with Miami.
The Bad: Barea and Stojakovic never showed up for work in Game 1. Terry at least hit early 3′s. They will need to play better. Miami played poorly and still managed to win. While Dallas might play better in game 2, so will Miami. Also, Miami are winning this way consistently through playoffs… ugly.. that is big 3 plus one bench guy that steps up. Dallas MUST win tonight or its over. Its very hard to win 3 IAR even on your own home court.
The X-Factor: Refs are making bad calls against Dallas especially at end of game. The moving screen on Chandler. The foul on Dirk when he cleanly stripped the ball from Bosh. Thats a 2 turn over swing at the end of the game.

Seven players in Australias 2011 World Cup squad were of Polynesian and Melanesian heritage. For the last Lions tour, there were more players of Pacific Island descent (Manu Tuilagi, Mako Vunipola and Taulupe Faletau) than there were Scots in the touring party. There are an estimated 184 professional players of either Samoan, Fijian or Tongan descent playing in European leagues.
Before pointing the finger elsewhere, it is important to stress that many wounds are self-inflicted. The governance on the islands is at best amateurish, at worst open to accusations of corruption as the Samoan players dispute with their union has demonstrated. The First World War aphorism of Lions led by donkeys has never been more applicable.
Neither are Samoas financial problems unique. Fiji sacked their respected coach, Inoke Male, in January to save money while Tonga needed a last-minute contribution from their government to undertake their current European tour. Yet even if the problems are not created elsewhere, the rest of the world often does little to assist. Institutionally, the International Rugby Board Council is weighted against the three Pacific Islands, who collectively share a single vote while the eight founder members have two votes each. Canada, Italy and Japan also have a single vote each.
Other than expenses, Samoa will receive no money for their match on Saturday against England at Twickenham that will turn over several million pounds. This is standard practice for host nations but it is predicated on England returning the favour with their own tour, which they will not. In the last 10 years only Scotland have visited Samoa, although the All Blacks finally relented to pressure by promising a match in Apia next year.
An even more emotive issue is that of the talent drain from the Islands across the world. Particularly in the northern hemisphere, it is painted in black and white with terms such as poaching frequently thrown at New Zealands door when in truth there are several shades of grey involved. The vast majority of the All Blacks Polynesian and Melanesian contingent are New Zealand born and raised.
It is also hard to begrudge Vunipola or Tuilagi representing England considering they were educated there or dispute Fijian Semesa Rokodugunis right to wear the red rose given he fought for the country in Afghanistan.
Feel-good stories such as his are often outweighed by crass cynicism. Peter Harding, Tongas high performance manager, revealed one of the countrys brightest prospects has been offered a contract by a European club with the implicit promise of being fast-tracked into the national team through the three-year residency rule. Even more brazenly, Brive, the Top 14 team, plan to open an academy in Fiji with an annual intake of 25 players.
Yet it is important to remember that an offer of a professional contract or a scholarship is a way out of poverty for many Islanders who will then be relied on to provide for an extended family. It is also a route too a far higher standard of coaching and facilities. Potential earnings would multiply many times over were they to represent a tier-one international rather than the country of their birth. Closing or extending the residency rule would also shut the door on the careers of many Island players, particularly in Super Rugby where there are severe restrictions on foreign players.
Nathan Hughes, Wasps Fijian back row, is a case in point. He was picked up on a New Zealand scholarship when he was 17 and is now halfway towards qualifying for England through the residency rule. It is really hard in Fiji, Hughes said. The facilities are not as good as in other countries. If you get the opportunity to go overseas, people will take it because thats how it all starts. People are just taking that opportunity.
I would classify myself as Fijian from the bottom of my heart, but all you have to think of is your future. All you have to think of is whats going to happen after rugby. You cant play rugby all your life. You have to plan for what you are going to do after that if a family starts happening.

After days of sunshine I thought Summer must surely be here soon so I decided to do a really firey sunshiney mani! The minute I had it on my mitts the weather turned grey for a couple of days. But we are now back on track so all is good.
Seeing quite a few mani's with different but connected designs, I thought I would have a go too. And I must say I'm quite pleased at how these turned out.
On to my mani then two coats of Barry M Blueberry for the bright Summer blue skies I'm expecting with an accent nail in Barry M Mango. I then stamped with MoYou London Zodiac Collection 07 the Leo plate using Mundo De Unas #11 Yellow and #53 Geranium. And to give this mani extra sparkle a quick coat of Northan Lights Hologram top coat gold before finishing with Seche Vite.

Something Simple!
Having seen a lot of mani's that are just a neutral nail plus stamping in white aka the famous bridal nails which are in fact stickers I thought I would do the same but in colour and not the same image! Plus I had just bought a new gorgeous top with these beautiful spring colours so...
On to my mani then, just my regular base coat I use Trind Nail Repair Stamped with Barry M Blackberry a dark teal blue and Barry M Key Lime (the name speaks for itself) which I found didn't really show up as much as Barry M Blackberry so I stamped over the top of that with Barry M Kiwi using MoYou London Bridal Collection 07. And then top coated with Seche Vite I seriously cannot live without that stuff! And I must just say that Barry M polishes are divine and the Hi Shine's stamp beautifully.

Water Marbling Success!
Well success of a sort! I don't know how I did it with regards to water temperature other than it was tepid i.e. not cold straight from the tap because I put some warm water in it too. I tried making a pretty pattern too, but that wasn't as easy as it looks on all the tutorials. And I didn't like some of the patterns on my nails so I just covered those up with stamping!
On to my mani then, two coats of Sinful Colors Snow Me White followed by Seche Vite. Then my water marble using Jade Safire Dream the blue with turquoise micro glitter, Jade Fascinto Violeta a holographic Violet and Jade Over the Rainbow a holographic reddish pink. Next having seen some nails didn't look very water marbly(!) I stamped over the top using MoYou London Explorer Collection 22 my most favourite plate with Kleancolor Metallic Fuschia, top coated with Seche Vite and called it a day!

Citrine Seduction!
Just how cool is that name? Jade Citrine Seduction! I just love orange nails (who'd have thought it? Certainly not me all those years ago). Citrine Seduction is just bursting with orange micro glitter which dries matte so doesn't show its true beauty until you've used an ultra glossy top coat. Below is a shade picture which shows that in more detail.
On to my mani then, two coats of Jade Citrine Seduction one would have sufficed but I did two just in case. And because its a matte polish and ultra quick drying I didn't top coat before the stamping! So that is in fact Sinful Colors Snow Me White! Which turned a very pale orange the minute I top coated with Seche Vite. I actually loved this although the contrast was not as much as I originally intended. The plates I used were MoYou London Explorer Collection 27 on my fingers and the same larger image on my thumbs from MoYou London Explorer Collection 26.
