WHAT THE !!!! My mom gave me this because it irritated her, well she's not the only one!! I also thought this was like nail polish remover!! Almay, seriously!?!?! This stuff BURNED! I'm glad this didn't damage my eyes worse. Hypo-allergenic my ass. This shit is BAD! Stay far FAR AWAY!!!!
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I had to use this for a week while staying at a friend's house. It hurt my eyes, was very drying, and smelled like acetone. I actually had to ask to make sure she hadn't filled the bottle with nail polish remover instead of make-up remover. (Definitely not. Yay! I'm not blind!) After a few tries, I decided it was better to not wear eye makeup than to keep using this remover. Sure, I have kinda sensitive skin, but this was especially unpleasant. There are many drugstore products that are much better. Or if you want a quick eye-makeup remover, use warm olive or coconut oil. it stings a tiny bit, but gets the job done and won't irritate your skin.
More reviews by DCookiemonster25
I like this but I prefer the pads, I got the bottle because I thought that it would last longer. i feel that I need to use a few cotton balls to get the makeup off, but with the pads i only use one, so idk if it will actually last longer.
I got this obviously to remove eyemakeup.. I usually use the ELF makeup remover wipes! which work wonders. I was looking for something if i needed to target a small area with like a qtip.... so I got this to try, as almay products always seem very high quality for drugstore.. I wanted makeup remover with no oil in it, .. and that doesn't seperate in the bottle.. this was the ONLY one I could find!! Thank goodness I found this one! it is perfect.. i actually put it in a decorative soap dispenser on my vanity for easy use, and so far, it has worked wonders! Works with qtips and cotton balls... I sitll use the elf wipes for full face, but when doing my makeup and screwing up, this takes it away quickly and effortlessly!
I normally use Equate oil-free eye-makeup remover. I love it but had run out. I was in Kroger when I saw the Almay oil-free eye makeup remover on sale. I bought two bottles. I figured because it was Almay, it would be comparable or better than Equate (which is actually comparable to Neutrogena Oil Free Eye Makeup remover).
I hated it the first time I used it. The smell was very strong and it stung my eyes terribly. To top it off, it didn't remove my makeup well. Typically, I wear eyeshadow, eyeliner and mascara (not waterproof). Almay removed the make-up poorly and because of the stinging, I ended up washing off the rest when I wash the rest of my face. Equate removes all of the makeup and NO STINGING.
For the price, even on sale, Almay came in a smaller bottle (4.0 oz), while Equate comes in a larger bottle (5.5 oz).
Eventually, I went out and bought two bottles of my Equate and poured the remaining Almay down the sink. The other bottle will follow.

This is the Almay liquid remover in the purple bottle. I bought 3 or 4 of these because they were such a good price at Walgreens but now I regret hoarding the stuff. It does nothing but sting my eyes horribly. I put some makeup remover on a cotton pad, set it on my eyes for a few seconds and then wipe away. It leaves my eyes burning and not able to see for a good 15 minutes. I'm going back to Neutrogena. That stuff actually worked and I never had a problem. Funny thing is, the makeup remover pads from almay are awesome! Never had a problem.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I expect very little from an eye makeup remover: it should remove all of my eye makeup and not irritate my eyes. While it may not irritate my eyes as it has for other reviewers it doesn't get off all of my makeup, even if I remove most of it with a swipe of oil first. If I use 2 cotton balls and a few sheets of toilet paper on each eye I can remove my heavy eyeshadow "night out" look, but that's if I use the tissue and oil to take most of it off first. I have had the bottle for two weeks and I have used over half the bottle. Mind you, I only wear gel eyeliner on a daily basis, and mascara every other day. If I try to wipe off my makeup using this alone it takes just 1/3 of it off and I practically have to tug on my eye to get it to absorb the makeup. Not good, don't waste your money. Even if you don't wear long-wearing makeup there is surely a better eye makeup remover out there at this price range!
Dried my eyes so bad, I couldn't wear makeup for a MONTH.
Burned my eyes so much and yet removed so little makeup that I thought I was accidentally using TONER. Seriously did not remove any mascara whatsoever (not waterproof) Horrible product, waste of money.
Don't buy this.
Complete waste of money..
It burned my eyes, and couldn't even remove my mascara. I scrubbed my eyes for 10 minutes and it still didn't remove all of it. If you need an eye makeup remover, Target's Up&Up generic brand works much better than this.

Arizona Coyotes
Updated Jan 20, 2013 - 11:09 pm
Blackhawks hold off Coyotes in playoff rematch
GLENDALE, Ariz. (AP) � Dave Bolland had two goals and an assist, Marian Hossa scored twice against the team that knocked him out of last year's playoffs and the Chicago Blackhawks spoiled another celebration by holding off the Phoenix Coyotes 6-4 Sunday night.
Chicago ruined the Los Angeles Kings' Stanley Cup banner-raising ceremony Saturday with a flurry of goals and did the same thing to the Coyotes after their Pacific Division banner unveiling.
Hossa had two goals and an assist against the Kings in his first game since being knocked out of last year's playoffs on a blindside hit by Phoenix's Raffi Torres.
Against the Coyotes, Hossa scored 50 seconds before Viktor Stalberg in the second period and again 14 seconds into the third.

Gar Forman has told Nazr Mohammed to buy -- not rent -- a home in the Chicagoland area in the veteran center's homecoming to play for the Bulls. To that statement, Mohammed was adamant that he agrees and wants to staying with the Bulls past this season. "I like the sound of that," Mohammed said. "In a perfect world, you'd love to end your career in the city that raised you. Every player would love to help the team he was a fan of growing up." Mohammed signed a one-year contract worth the veteran's minimum last offseason. "That was attractive for him to come back home," Forman said, "to come full circle."

For more than 15 years, Marshall Canyon Equestrian Center has welcomed horse enthusiasts for riding lessons and gallops across its sylvan expanse. Guided trail rides require no previous horseback experience, leading as many as 10 riders to witness area wildlife, rumble past clear babbling streams, and admire flowers left by spurned centaur lovers. The center?s instructor, Donna, leads lessons in the riding disciplines of Western and English, specializing in teaching new riders proper horsemanship essentials in the well-lit arena. Marshall Canyon also boards horses in fully covered 16?x16? stalls, where they enjoy daily cleaning and healthy portions of alfalfa.
Nestled amidst the Arroyo Seco and San Gabriel mountains, San Pascual Stables enchants visitors with natural beauty and an enthusiastic crew of trainers continuing a 34-year tradition of equine education. During an expertly guided horsemanship class, trainees learn the basics under the wing of a trainer well versed in hunter and jumper riding. After a series of three lessons, clients are likely to feel more at home on horseback, and can swiftly opt into future lessons, in which they can learn how to further care for their creature and how to properly parallel park it in front of a crowded saloon.
The Pasadena Humane Society is an animal welfare agency providing animal related services for the San Gabriel Valley.
During his time as a zookeeper, My Pet Garden owner Joel Tatom learned firsthand that the best way to improve an animal's life is through nutrition. Because of this, his dog grooming and daycare center offers premium foods in grain-free, organic, or raw varieties. That's one of the reasons why the center was named the Best Place to Treat Your Pet Like a Prince by LA Weekly in 2011. The other reason is the center's gentle cleaning sessions, during which staffers de-mat fur with a soft touch and clean teeth without making fun of the dog's braces. Additionally, the groomers of My Pet Garden run a program in which they work with shelters to groom dogs who lack homes in the hopes that the pooches will find new owners.
Co-founded by a certified master dog trainer, Ufuria provides a plethora of holistic-minded petcare services to keep owners' and canines' minds at peace. Furry friends can frolic in over 9,000 square feet of facility peppered with modern equipment and staffed 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. A fur-cleansing bath rids shaggy coats of dander and produces an envy-inducing sheen, and an introductory evaluation determines whether your polished pet is suitable for a group play environment. Your dog's five days of fun each start off with an energy-releasing walk. Then a two-hour nap session gives four-legged children ample time to recharge their batteries for an afternoon of daycare activities and group play. For the safety of all dogs, canines over eight months old must be spayed or neutered to participate in doggie daycare. Private play, walks/runs, five 30-minute training sessions, and alternative activities are available for pups who are not neutered or spayed or who did not pass the group play evaluation.
Chateau Marmutt grants dogs and their owners respite from their daily duties with a canine haven designed to give dogs an outlet for socialization and relaxation. During Monday–Saturday dog daycare, pintsize pooches attend to daily schedules and conference calls in a cozy office setting, and big dogs frolic in a colorful playland of slides and kiddie pools. Canine-education classes instill obedient behavior and break bad habits in five weekly installments, and a fully stocked puppy boutique rewards tail waggers for good conduct. Canine chompers gleam after thorough teeth brushing, and aromatherapy grooming combs furry friends with scents such as citrus, oatmeal, and brand-new tennis ball.

Durango, Texas has a problem with a killer, and Lillianna Rodrig
Durango, Texas has a problem with a killer, and Lillianna Rodriguez is the police investigator in charge. Her partner is about to go on vacation, but Rodriguez is not looking forward to a stranger helping her investigate. To remove his son from the influence of his white supremacist stepfather, Texas Ranger Cody Jackson just moved to Durango with his son, only to be immediately consumed in the investigation. Variations on the theme of bullying twist through the story and include abuse against people due to race, physical handicap, or members of a family, while Rodriguez and Jackson romance enjoy each other.Was this review helpful?

This is a good romantic suspense novel wrapped around a murder investigation as each party deals with family issues. Put this on your 'to read' list if you enjoy a quick romantic suspense.

An insightful and entertaining read.Was this review helpful? Yes NoThank you for your feedback. Report this reviewThank you, this review has been flagged.
My Rating: 4 out of 5 stars.
Disclaimers: I received a temporary e-galley of this book from the publisher via Netgalley in exchange for my honest opinion.
My Overall Thoughts/Impressions: I loved the first in this series and so naturally I was psyched to hear that Daley had written a sequel. Even though this is a sequel, this novel can stand on its own. This book focuses on new characters and a new plot.
Having said that, I adored this book. Daley has the ability to combine romance and suspense with deeper issues. Her first book she tackled on human trafficking; with this book, she tackled the effects of abuse and the complex issue of immigration and illegal immigration and racism.
I love authors who take on hard topics and still manage to craft a brilliant story. While I would say I didn't enjoy this one quite as much as I did the first one in the series, I still really enjoyed this one.
The characters were intriguing. Cody and Liliana switched off perspectives as the story unfolded and I loved watching them interact as they tried to solve the murders.
I also love how Daley focuses on an older generation as well as characters who are in their teens. Readers are also able to gain insight into teenager Kyle's mind who is ticked at his dad Cody for making them move and is on his way to being racist. I loved watching him grow and develop.
The Christian element was never forced in this novel and I loved that. I also loved watching all the characters progress as the novel developed.
I have read so much suspense that I'm beginning to be able to guess the murderer. I managed to do that with this novel, but that is my only complaint about this novel. All in all it was a great read.
In Summary: This is the second book I've read by Daley and I can assure you it won't be the last. With the ability to combine intriguing characters with a compelling plot that delves into some deeper issues in life, Daley is definitely an author I'll be keeping my eye on.
Warnings/Side-notes: This book was very clean. It does deal with abuse but in a way that I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this book to any reader.
The Wrap-up: Daley writes beautiful, profound, and insightful books that I really enjoy reading. I recommend you read Daley if you like romantic suspense, and especially recommend her if you like Christian romantic suspense.

Margaret Daley in her new book, ¿Shattered Silence¿ Book Two in

From the back cover: Will faith and love be strong enough to survive the storm of violence?
A serial killer is targeting illegal aliens in southern Texas. Texas Ranger Cody Jackson is paired with a local police officer, Liliana Rodriguez, to investigate the murders.
While the case brings Cody and Liliana ever closer, the tension between Americans and Mexican Americans heightens. Fighting their attraction , Cody and Liliana race to discover who is behind the murders and bring peace to the area. What they uncover isn't what they expected. Will Cody and Liliana's faith and love be strong enough to survive the storm of violence?
A serial killer that is targeting illegal Mexicans living in Durango, Texas. Cody, a Texas Ranger and Liliana, a Durango police detective, are teaming to find this killer. They, each, are dealing with their own personal problems and it isn't easy for these two to work together. Now the body count begins to rise as the two teammates struggle to figure out who the killer is to stop him from killing more. I like stories that involve The Texas Rangers. It does not matter to me what time period the story takes place in just so that it involves them. There is a certain personality to this group that captures my attention. Let me say this right off, Margaret Daley does not disappoint, she knows how to ratchet up the tension so that your nerves are strung tight as you work with the officers to figure out who is killing people. "Shattered Silence is about racism, domestic abuse and single parenting. This book is a thriller as the characters are in deadly danger practically from page one. On top of everything Ms. Daley manages to weave a romance into this story that just captivates you. She makes you care for all the characters and their journey. This is also just plain fun and exciting as well. Don't start this book late at night because it will cost you sleep. I look forward to the next book in the series.

Durango is a nice town in Texas. Police Detective Liliana Rodrig
Durango is a nice town in Texas. Police Detective Liliana Rodriguez has lived in Durango all her life and she knows most of the inhabitants. She loves her job and her family. There's not much time for other things in her life--surely no place for a love life.Was this review helpful? Yes NoThank you for your feedback. Report this reviewThank you, this review has been flagged.
Liliana's partner is going on vacation when the new Texas Ranger arrives in Durango.
Texas Ranger Cody Jackson has just moved to Durango, Texas. Soon after he arrived, a pregnant woman was murdered. In the week that follows more people were murdered.
Cody and Liliana are going to work together to solve the case. While doing that they come across a gun smuggling ring. Are the smugglers responsible for the murders, or is there another killer out there?
After an abusive childhood, Liliana has built a wall around her heart. There's no place for a man in her life. Her father was an abuser and her sister is also living with an abusive husband. When she gets to know Cody better, she finds out he is different. Can she let a man into her heart and busy life?
Cody's ex-wife died a couple of months ago. His son Kyle lived with his mom and now comes to live with Cody. He's trying to be the father Kyle needs, but Kyle doesn't like to live with his father and to live in Durango. Soon Kyle will make new friends and he will have to make an important choice in making friends.
Shattered Silence is book 2 in Men of the Texas Rangers series. Although it is the second in a series the book can be read as stand-alone.
I think Margaret Daley has written an enjoyable and exciting story full twists and turns. I kept guessing how the story would end. It was just near the end that I began to suspect the bad guy.
Nicely done, Margaret!
Thanks to the publisher and NetGalley for my review copy.

The Men of the Texas Rangers Book 2
Shattered Silence by Margaret Daley The Men of the Texas Rangers Book 2 Texas Ranger Cody Jackson has just moved to Durango, Texas from Houston. After the death of his ex-wife he now has full custody of his fifteen year old son, Kyle. Instead of moving to the quiet town he imagined….he has a murder to solve within hours of his arrival. And it only escalates from there. Police Detective Liliana Rodriguez will do all she can do to protect the people of Durango but especially her family. She demands control in her life because she didn't have any growing up with an abusive father. Because of her father she never wanted to trust a man to have any control in her life….and then she met Cody Jackson. The first book in this series is Saving Hope, excellent book. Even though they are a series they can definitely be read as stand alone books. Shattered Silence is full of individual stories. Cody trying to be the father that Kyle needs. Kyle step-dad had raised him to hate anyone different, he is now faced with making his own choices. The book has bullies and the damage they can cause….no matter what age. And of course the murders. Margaret does a great job of keeping the reader guessing who the villain is by throwing in several guilty looking suspects. Never a dull moment. **Received through NetGalley for reviewWas this review helpful? Yes NoThank you for your feedback. Report this reviewThank you, this review has been flagged.

This week saw the publication of a paper that seeks to explain the tough German negotiating position over the euro crisis. 'The long shadow of ordoliberalism: Germany's approach to the euro crisis', by Sebastian Dullien and Ulrike Guérot, argues that Mrs Merkel's tough line is not about punishing economic wrongdoing. They argue that it is based upon a consistent approach to economics with broad support within Germany, and that this is unlikely to change under pressure from those anxious about austerity. Click here for a summary of the paper, and click here for the PDF.
Although ECFR's policy staff spent the week in a policy retreat, discussing the big issues facing Europe (here's a group photo of most of us looking slightly tired), we published a few other bits and pieces over the last week:
That's it for now. If you're interested in the Middle East and North Africa, remember that our MENA programme puts out a weekly email round up of the best analysis that they've been reading. We're also on Twitter (our Madrid, Paris, Rome and Warsaw offices and quite a few of our staff have their own accounts) and on Facebook.
The EU cannot hope to transform Russia, but it should be aware of the price of secluding it
Western hopes that China will take greater responsibility for dealing with international crises likely to be dashed.
Europe should consider an overhaul of its Mediterranean policy to prioritise support for Tunisia
To avoid gas cut-offs Europe should help Ukraine reform
The EU needs a more coherent approach to international justice

- Under pressure for much of last week, solar stocks are rallying (TAN +4.3%) after SunEdison (SUNE +23.5%) and its TerraForm Power (TERP +29.1%) YieldCo announced they're buying leading wind project developer First Wind for up to $2.4B, and JA Solar (JASO +4%) beat Q3 estimates and upped its full-year cell/module shipment guidance to 3.1GW-3.2GW from 2.9GW-3.1GW.
- Gainers: SCTY +3.9%. SOL +4.5%. TSL +3.7%. YGE +2.7%. JKS +3.4%. HSOL +2.8%. ASTI +6%. DQ +3.2%. RGSE +2.6%.
- SunEdison CEO Ahmad Chatila declares the First Wind deal will double his company's addressable market. Cowen thinks SunEdison "can leverage First Wind's platform to push into international markets for wind given the potential expiration of the production tax credit for U.S. wind projects."

- "Based on our checks, we estimate the probability of [trade settlement] success is now ~30-40% vs. prior expectations of 5-10%," writes Roth. "The narrative for Chinese solar stocks, in our view, has shifted to a more positive tone."
- Roth's remarks follow a letter from a law firm representing the Chinese government to the U.S. Commerce Department proposing talks for a solar tariff suspension agreement. Last week, Beijing retaliated against U.S. solar module tariffs by closing a loophole for U.S. and Korean polysilicon imports.
- Though admitting many Chinese suspension offers have been rejected over the years, Roth thinks "the Chinese government would not have made an offer without believing it would have a decent probability of success as it does not want to be rejected by the US government publicly."

3 charged in U.S. with sending chemical equipment to Syria
U.S. prosecutors have charged a Pennsylvania man and two foreign citizens with conspiring to illegally export chemical warfare detection devices and laboratory equipment to Syria, authorities said in a case that was under seal for 17 months until Wednesday.
Associated Press
U.S. prosecutors have charged a Pennsylvania man and two foreign citizens with conspiring to illegally export chemical warfare detection devices and laboratory equipment to Syria, authorities said in a case that was under seal for 17 months until Wednesday.
A federal judge in Scranton, Pa., unsealed the case after the prosecutor, Assistant U.S. Attorney Todd Hinkley, signed a plea agreement for one of three men charged in 2012.
The men are accused of illegally shipping goods to Syria through other countries for nine years by creating false invoices that mislabeled the items, undervalued them and listed false purchasers and end users.
A 2003 federal law paved the way to broad new economic and trade sanctions against Syria, amid accusations by lawmakers that it had been a detriment to the fight against terrorism in the Middle East and Iraq. The sanctions, imposed in 2004, banned all U.S. exports to Syria except food and medicine.
A 31-page indictment did not say how authorities discovered the alleged scheme, and Hinkley said he could not comment on it. Investigators also do not know who in Syria, such as the military or police, ultimately used the items.
"We know they were exported to Syria," Hinkley said. "The end user information we weren't able, at least to this point, to develop in the investigation."
Prosecutors say the items included portable instruments used to detect, measure and classify chemical agents; masks used in civil defense against chemical agents; laboratory equipment; industrial engines used in oil and gas fields; and a device used to locate buried pipelines.
Countries allegedly used as way stations to transship the items included the United Arab Emirates, Jordan and the United Kingdom.
Charged are Harold Rinko, of Hallstead, Pa.; Ahmad Feras Diri, of London; and Moawea Deri, a Syrian citizen who the federal government says is at large. Diri and Deri refer to themselves as brothers in communication cited in the indictment. They allegedly used Rinko as a "front" to purchase the items and ship them to a country without an export ban.
An agreement signed by Rinko to plead guilty to a conspiracy count also was unsealed Wednesday. In a brief telephone interview, Rinko confirmed to The Associated Press that he has agreed to plead guilty.
Prosecutors say Diri is awaiting extradition in London, where he was arrested last year, and that they have not been able to interview him. Deri is believed to be in Syria, which has no extradition treaty with the United States.

Fiji Airways plans modest growth and focus on local market as profitability continues to improve
Fiji Airways is planning modest growth over the next five years as it focuses on further improving its profitability. The flag carrier has been profitable for four consecutive years and recorded a record half year profit in 1H2014 but CEO Stefan Pichler sees potential for even higher margins.
Mr Pichler just completed his first year at Fiji Airways and has been concentrating on improving the group's management structure and customer service. He also has implemented a new five-year business plan that focuses on sustained profitability with an average growth of only 3.5% per annum.
Fiji Airways, which was known as Air Pacific until mid-2013, has benefited from widebody fleet renewal following the delivery of three A330-200s in 2013. In 2014 it has turned its attention to renewing the fleet at recently rebranded turboprop operation Fiji Link.
Qantas continues overdue restructuring with fleet impairment worsening a sour AUD646m pre-tax loss
By his own admission, Qantas CEO Alan Joyce is well past thinking he has won the popularity contest. His calling however is not how people see him but rather securing a future for Australia's over-loved, and previously much-neglected, airline. Mr Joyce inherited an airline that was privatised from government ownership but never shaken of its legacy habits. It was easy for predecessors to avoid taking surgical action: Qantas had the full service domestic market to itself, and now-household names like Emirates and AirAsia X were not yet in the fray. Domestic profits subsidised steadily eroding internationals services. Then the world changed; international performance has deteriorated and the domestic cash cow is under attack from a resurgent Virgin Australia.
There were factors outside of Qantas' control that led to its FY2014 underlying loss of AUD646 million, but that also included Qantas adopting a flawed strategy in its domestic capacity war. A more rational Qantas is calming down and the gains have been immediate. Qantas expects a 1H2015 profit, implying that the disastrous 2014 was not the terminal decline that some have trumpeted. And nor does Qantas need to sell its prized loyalty division. The pre-tax loss was dragged down by the shock headline figure - with just a touch of spin - of a post-tax loss of AUD2.8 billion. With that number behind them, Qantas can only look good now. That non-cash technical adjustment was driven by a one-off AUD2.6 billion write-down of its international fleet, confirming long-held views the fleet was over-valued but never previously addressed.
Driving the write-down is a change in corporate structure that Qantas expects will make it easier for its international division to receive foreign investment. On this investment prospect there is no timeframe or clear suitor; CEO Alan Joyce talks of a "long term option". Perhaps this move is driven less by interest than by a need to be seen as having secured options out of the public, and ultimately unsatisfactory, ownership debates in Canberra.
Air New Zealand's third year of profit growth does not create complacency: 6% growth in FY2015
Air New Zealand reported its third consecutive year of profit growth in the FY to 30-Jun-2014. The contrast is obvious with Qantas, which has announced a massive headline loss of AUD2.8 billion (although an underlying loss which improved considerably on analysts' expectations). But the reality is the three hours that separates Sydney from Auckland also significantly changes market conditions that account for the difference in fortune. Air New Zealand faces no major competitor in its core domestic market while in the long-haul market competition is significantly lower and strong partnerships dominate.
Air New Zealand is not resting on its laurels, with a projected 6% ASK growth in FY2015. Domestic, trans-Tasman and North America growth will be below average, Europe flat, and Asia above average as Air New Zealand resumes Auckland-Singapore flying as part of its approved JV with Singapore Airlines. Aside from the Singapore route, most growth will occur through capacity up-gauging as larger aircraft replace smaller ones, reducing growth risk and hefty route start-up costs.
Qantas and Virgin Australia: Assessing international strategy by numbers on the eve of results
As Qantas and Virgin Australia, at least temporarily, call a truce on their domestic market share battles, their focus of attention turns to international operations as they report their fiscal 2014 results on 28 and 29-Aug-2014. Neither has achieved its ideal position and there is undoubtedly a lot of head scratching going on among their strategy teams. Qantas in particular is expressly looking at cutting as much as USD1 billion in costs out of its international operations; and neither airline has yet been able to establish a sound foundation for a North Asian strategy.
In this short pre-results overview, we look at some indicative, publicly available, load factor statistics that may suggest where each should be heading in terms of laying down the basis for sustainable international strategies. There is a lot more to route planning than historic load factors, but it is a good place to start. No doubt more thinking will be exposed when the airlines report FY2014 financials.
Taking the Sale Act out of Qantas - a one-off opportunity missed as amendment fizzles out
Qantas is expected to post a loss of between AUD700 million and AUD1 billion for the full 2013/14 financial year to 30-Jun-2014 and now faces the unsettling reality that the Qantas Sale Act (QSA) isn't going anywhere.
Australia's Federal Government retreated on the planned Qantas Sale Amendment Bill 2014 that would have repealed part three of the QSA, recognising it wouldn't pass the Senate, and agreed to side with the Australian Labor Party (ALP) to remove foreign ownership limits. The largely pointless compromise revision was adopted on 18-Jul-2014.
The previous provisions prevented any single airline investor holding more than 25% of Qantas and of total foreign airline investment of 35%, capping the total foreign investment at 49%. The new provision simply caps foreign ownership at 49%, with no airline restrictions.
Qantas Group adapts its trans-Tasman network, matching Air NZ and Virgin's adjustable schedule
Qantas will refocus its service between Australia and New Zealand to allow greater flexibility to adjust capacity during shoulder and low seasons. While relatively straightforward, Qantas has not previously done this. Qantas in 2013 adjusted monthly seat capacity by -9% to +7% while Air New Zealand adjusted capacity by -19% to +16%, Jetstar by -22% to +22% and Virgin Australia by -15% to +10%.
Air New Zealand has been rewarded with consistently high load factors while Jetstar and especially Qantas have performed weakly in off-periods. There is now an opportunity for closer integration between Jetstar and Qantas. Virgin Australia has had the weakest load factors, perhaps suggesting its move to a premium positioning is not commensurate with its core trans-Tasman leisure traffic. It too may need to revisit its approach.

Got great test results from the dr!

And I am so excited about my 7 dpo progesterone level - it was 13.96 ng/ml!! The prescription progesterone cream is working for me - that's up from 4.71 two cycles ago, 5.97 one cycle ago!
But my 9 dpo level was only 8.27, so the level dropped off quickly. But now that I know it's working, I think I will simply increase how much I use...
The dr felt our best bet was to simply keep trying for that good egg/sperm combination. With such good results on all our tests - it feels like all we need to do is beat the ticking clock...

Note: we only give a property a rating once it has received a minimum of 3 reviews.
- " Very nice hostel. You see other reviews with complaints about showers, staircases, noise, etc but these must be very picky people. Just grab a beer at he bar and have fun! It is also in a nice part of the city, just off the side of the main tourist area so you can actually meet some locals and prices for beer, fries are lower. This is a great hostel to meet people, good atmosphere, nice hot showers, great beer selection, our room was good. "

- " Very nice pub downstairs, good breakfast and always a group going out for a party on the town. "

- " It's a great place, with a really amazing atmosphere. People can be very kind and please, if you go, drink some beers for me on the bar! ;) "
- 03 Jun 2014 Maria Agostina
- " Scary stairs to get to the rooms, nice bar but closes early. You have to pass trough the bar/common area to get to the showers. Pretty near everything (10min to the center and 20-25min to the train station)! "
- 01 Jun 2014 Sophie Canada
- " Good location, Cheap beer, big common area ( bar actually). I stayed in a 12 people dorm, when I get into my room first time, I had to bring my luggage to "climb" on a spiral staircase. It's such a had task! Despite this, everthing is fine. "
- 29 Apr 2014 Anonymous Hong Kong
- " Thank you for having us, we had a wonderful time in your hostel. Snuffel was a very good choice - best value for money, I would recommend it to everybody. Centrally located, overlooking a beautiful church. Also, we were offered a possibility to rent bikes for a ridiculous price. The neighborhood of Bruges is wonderful, so don't miss this chance! Also the breakfast was good, but for Hungarians a bit strange that no cold meet/sausage/ham are served - but this is common there. "
- 26 Apr 2014 Anonymous Hungary
- " It is really close from the city center, the staff is really cool, if you are going with friends the atmosphere at the hotel bar is really good, the beer is amazing you can play board games and meet a lot of people. It is not luxurious at all but for the price is perfect "
- 26 Apr 2014 Anonymous Mexico
- " Some things are pretty old and need a renewal... the showers were kind of dirty (full of hairs) and the toilet wasn't cleaned but once a day (even though there are around 12 people using it). Sheets were clean, but the mattress cover was dirty. Also, luggage storage didn't look that safe, anyone could easily enter and take your bags (or open them). "
- 25 Apr 2014 Anonymous Spain
- " 5 stars for the hosts/staff: always patient, friendly, and helpful. They let me use the shower even after checking out - so I had the chance to go for a run around Bruges. Everybody knows Snuffel so if you get lost just ask which way it is! The facilities are very basic, but clean. They are located into an old building so the set-up is a bit awkward, but I hear they're moving into a new place. I wish they had caged lockers. Overall really great place, definitely recommend for budget travels. "

Lightning recall AHL's leading goal scorer
The Tampa Bay Lightning have recalled forward Tyler Johnson from the Syracuse Crunch of the American Hockey League.
Johnson, 22, has played in 59 games this season with the Crunch, collecting a league-leading 32 goals and ranking second in the AHL with 58 points. He is also first among all AHL forwards with a plus-25 rating.
The 5-foot-9, 182-pound native of Spokane, Wash., ranked second in AHL rookie scoring last season with 68 points and added 14 points in 14 postseason games to help the Norfolk Admirals to the Calder Cup championship.
In 134 career AHL regular-season games, Johnson has totaled 63 goals and 63 assists for 126 points along with a plus-42 rating.
Johnson, who was originally signed by the Lightning as a free agent on March 7, 2011, represented the Crunch at the 2013 Dunkin' Donuts AHL All-Star Classic and becomes the 28th participant to be recalled to the National Hockey League since the event took place Jan. 27-28.
