Goldman Sachs Reports Second Quarter Earnings Per Common Share Of $3.70
The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc. (NYSE: GS) today reported net revenues of $8.61 billion and net earnings of $1.93 billion for the second quarter ended June 30, 2013. Diluted earnings per common share were $3.70 compared with $1.78 for the second quarter of 2012 and $4.29 for the first quarter of 2013. Annualized return on average common shareholders' equity (ROE) (1) was 10.5% for the second quarter of 2013 and 11.5% for the first half of 2013.
- Goldman Sachs continued its leadership in investment banking, ranking first in worldwide announced and completed mergers and acquisitions for the year-to-date. (2)
- The firm ranked first in worldwide equity and equity-related offerings, common stock offerings and initial public offerings for the year-to-date. (2)
- Debt underwriting produced record quarterly net revenues of $695 million.
- Book value per common share and tangible book value per common share (3) both increased approximately 2% during the quarter to $151.21 and $141.62, respectively.
- The firm continues to manage its liquidity and capital conservatively. The firm's global core excess liquidity (4) was $183 billion (5) as of June 30, 2013. In addition, the firm's Tier 1 capital ratio (6) was 15.6% (5) and the firm's Tier 1 common ratio (7) was 13.5% (5) as of June 30, 2013, in each case under Basel 1 and reflecting the revised market risk regulatory capital requirements which became effective on January 1, 2013.
"The firm's performance was solid especially in the context of mixed economic sentiment during the quarter," said Lloyd C. Blankfein, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. "Improving economic conditions in the U.S. drove client activity and the strength of our global client franchise allowed us to deliver positive performance across a number of our businesses. While the operating environment has shown noticeable signs of improvement, we continue to put a premium on disciplined risk management, particularly in regard to the firm's strong capital and liquidity levels."

"You're the sun and I'm the moon." Bill murmured the lyrics to Tom as they laid together under the stars. The grass was cool and clean beneath them, barely dusted with the first tear drops of dew, and the warm summer air swarm with fireflies that blinked in and out trying to compete with all the lights in the sky. The moon hung low and heavy above them as they picked out their own constellations.
"Am I?" Tom sighed as he nuzzled against his twin, sharing his warmth.
Bill smiled and breathed in Tom's scent as he nosed around Tom's neck. "Yep. You're bright and strong and warm and you fill my world with light and life."
Tom exhaled and hoped the surround

I looked up into his eyes, they where beautiful, I hugged him and started to cry.

He'd gotten much thinner lately. He always did at this point of the year. The dark rings around his eyes stood out in dark contrast to his pale skin, too little sleep for the last few weeks and it was only going to get worse over the next few days. He could feel it. The soft...ache in the back of his mind...his heart. It was a constant reminder of just how close he was to falling. It wouldn't be that much longer now.Second Best by crow-ash
Digging his nails into his shoulders, he closed his eyes, trying to keep himself grounded. He needed to keep himself in reality as images flittered behind his closed lids. A laugh long since heard, a voice...His nails dug deeper into his skin as yet another memory slid through his minds eye, silent tears slipping down his cheeks. He was slipping again. But even so, he couldn't stop himsel

Well we've decided to stick with moodle as our VLE, we're too far down the moodle road to change really. We've had moodle running on an external website for over a year now, in that time the HOD for ICT has got it set up the way he wants. The problem is as this is hosted outside the school, it runs fairly slowly and uploading/downloading files from it can be a bit of a nitemare. Not to mention it is two versions out of date, and can be un-reliable at times.
We have available to us a large amount of webspace within our LEAs grid, as well as an established intranet server in school. My idea is to move it off the externally hosted site and have two instllations of moodle set up both talking to the same database. One of these would be used inside the school premises and would be hosted on our intranet server therefore making it much faster and more reliable for using in school. The second installation would be hosted on our externally accessible webserver but talking to the same database, thereofore giving the external access needed. Our externally accessible webserver is based at the grids HQ, so I don't want to exclusively host it on this, as this won't be a lot better than it is now!
My question is has anyone else moved moodle onto a new server, and if so, how easy was it and is there an easy to follow guide to ensure I don't loose any of the data?
Does anyone else run two separate installations that both use the same database?? Can anyone see any potential problems with running two installations and linking them both to the same database??
Cheers for any advice,

well for me i dont really think its right for any girl or guy to be having sex under the age of 18 because they are immature. Even some 20 year olds are just as immature.
And the thing is when you get pregnant in high school you have pretty much screwed your life up. You now have to take care of yourself and your child.
And if you do have sex early then thats on you if you get pregnant though dont be running to mommy and daddy to bail you out on it. you wanted to have sex so you must think that you are ready to have a baby. Deal with it. Get a job and raise your child.
80% of the 20-30 year-olds in Japan I've met with kids are too "immature" to raise children decently (they're still living with their parents and spending their money on Starbucks coffee and designer bags).
It doesn't matter.
You don't need a PHD or even a high school diploma to raise a child... those things are luxuries we've come to expect (and still can if we make decent decisions about our actions).
But if you want to do something stupid: you have to deal with the fallout. That is what makes for maturity. Someone bailing you out or making excuses for you doesn't help at all.
I know plenty of teenage pregnancies that turned out just fine. The thing they have in common: parents who accepted that they screwed up and made things work anyway.
The ones I consider gigantic failures? They've got 4 or 5 kids now -- all of them monsters being raised by state money or their grandparents while their parents go out and get drunk every Saturday night.
Life doesn't wait for you to be "ready" in any other respect... and seeing as your body is ready anywhere from 10-15 years-old: maybe we need to stop babying teens when they get into trouble?
Thing is: there's this great thing we have called "free will". It allows us to decide our own destinies to a point... But in order for it to work in any remotely moral fashion, we need to accept responsiblity for the things we've done.
We're incredibly spoiled and evade responsibility for virtually everything. We're passing it on to our children.
Maybe none of us are mature enough to be having babies anymore?
I think that having sex should be something sacred and between people who love each other and know that they will for many years to come...
Teens do not see that they are way to young to bear such a responsibility and to them..sex is sex.."one day I have a boyfriend and the other I do not".....so guess what..."I can get another one"..that is the type of attitude I see these days from young girls....
They do not respect themselves and other people and if you ask them what were you thinking.they will just shrug it off and have a no care attitude with them...that just boggles my mind...
It's not a matter of when you have the kid, but what you do when you have the kid that screws up people's lives and sh*ts on everyone's parade!
Every adult can honestly say--if you look deep down inside--that you've still got growing up to do and we'll probably be that way until we're in our death beds. Age has absolutely nothing to do with maturity, as Tsurara stated previously. I know 13 year olds who are more respsonsible than some 40 year olds!! *cough-cough--my dad--cough-wheeze*
Kool2bchilln (May 01, 2008)
mm yes i can see what your saying but i know alot of people that have dropped out of school and have screwed there lives up. But i do know that its not the case for everyoneOriginally Posted by atomik_sprout
but it does hold more of a challenge when you have a child and sometimes it can be good and for most it is bad.
I respect your mom Atomic, she owned up for what she had done and had taken responsibility for it, and in the prosses is having a great life with you and your other sibling. The fact that most of us are making is that a lot of other girls at that age mind you are not propaired mentily, maturly, or economicly. The sad fact is that most of these girls who I have seen becoming pregnant are not the kind of person your mom is. They do not want to mature because they like being spoiled, they dreaded the thought that their life now had to revolve around some one else other then them selves, and the fact that getting a job ruined their sociel life, and they didnt want to sacrifice even that for another life that they then selves were holding. But dont get me wrong either, I to have seen teen pairents, like your mom, were able to comit to all three of the things I said before and are enjoying their life. But most, well, tsurara has somed it up rather well.
I also agree with you Astaroth, it is suppose to be a sacred act between two people that should never be taken for granted.
Now as for my self, I would love to be a father some day and have kids with my girlfriend who I hope some day will be my future wife. But I know we are not set mentaly, I also know that we are not set economicly, but we are maturly ready, but with out those other two factors, we dont dair risk it.
Isn't this kind of a weird question?? Because teenagers are anything from 17 and under right, and wouldn't that make it statutory rape in the first place?? It would be illegal anyways. But for the sake of argument I can sort of understand why...Unfortunately for teenage sex cases, I assume most of them are on the guys?? I rarely heard a case where a woman pushed an unwilling guy to not wear a condom (sounds weird just typing this lol).
I am not as crazy about having part of my tax money going to these folks, as long as they "learn" their mistake and willing to get an education/job and contribute to society. I am more than willing to lend a monetary hand.
'Cause you give me something / That makes me scared, alright / This could be nothing / But I'm willing to give it a try / Please give me something
'Cause someday I might call you from my heart

Wow! I haven't watch a soap opera in years, I didn't realize B&B is only a half hour show now! Just set my DVR to record it because otherwise I'd forget.
Brendon got the speaking role and I thought he did great. No nerves for either one of them. I thought it was hilarious that the blond asked Brendon about his BIG BROTHER as part of the story line. Rachel got to do her trademark laugh.

For all its faults, Dungeon Siege III was something that I immensely enjoyed to button-mash my way through on my own. The camera annoyances found in co-op were not really an issue while playing solo, although the AI's tendency to just leave you for dead more than made up for it.
Treasures of the Sun, the first big DLC expansion, doesn't just add a good amount of new content to the hack & slash-a-ton, but also gives players a number of new tools to make their lives a lot easier on the whole.view full story + comments

Review: Dungeon Siege III
by Jim Sterling
It's been quite some time since we last saw Dungeon Siege, with the Dungeon Siege II: Broken World expansion pack released in 2006. Since then, the franchise has landed at the feet of role-playing powerhouse Square Enix and the fine --if notoriously glitch-loving -- folk at Obsidian.
Featuring a streamlined progression system and a simple style of gameplay that's easy to pick up, Dungeon Siege III immediately risks turning off hardcore role-playing game fans who demand deep customization and total control over their destiny. Then again, if you want a game that's a veritable fortress of statistics, you probably weren't looking in this direction to begin with.
Those still with me may want to consider checking this game out.view full story + comments

I love this. it is the only bronzer that i have ever used that actually makes me look like i do when i have a tan. Also it is matt and there is no shimmer so its good for oily skin but it is not drying either. The only problem is the packaging(i wish it were in a compact) but you do get a fair amount for your money
one of the best bronzers i have ever used and will use over and over again! cute packaging but totally impractical
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I have very pale/rosy skin. This stuff makes my face look dirty. :-(
This is a pretty nice bronzer--no orange look. I have to try what the reviewer belown suggested about mixing this into your moisturizer and applying like that. DON'T use the brush they give you..it doesn't do this any justice. I used a big fluffy brush. Will try the other way too, once I can figure it out--lol!
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
Here's what i found out about this. When i use the brush it comes with, it streaks heavily and i can never get an even application. But here's what i do to fix that. I mix some of the powder into my moisturizer and then apply it as if it was a liquid bronzer. this helps even out the application. A lot of the others get even applications with big brushes, but i have still found that it works best when mixed with my moisturizer. The color is wonderful and matte. It's not orangey or shimmery. It gives a wonderful and healthy tan.
I like this bronzer because it isn't shimmery or orange and isn't too dark. It looks great applied with a big, fluffy brush all over the face and neck! Totally natural! Would buy again but it's so big I doubt I'll ever run out :)
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
This is an Okay bronzer. I imagine this would be a good option for many people as it is matte and not orangey. I hardly ever use bronzer so I don't have a lot to compare this to, but I think the price is a little high for a very basic product, the packaging is cutsie but impractical, and I prefer Glamazon overall for a natural look.
Great matte bronzer-no shimmer...i have fair/medium skin with red/blue undertones and it works great to help me look like i have a light tan (i dont use a ton of it)the packaging it cute, but the brush that comes with it is kind of useless.
I love this bronzer. I have fair - medium warm skin tone and this looks very natural. I use this on practically everyone for contouring. The brush that is comes with is only good for some cheekbone work, not for overall application.
This Deserves a ONE for Worst Packaging(can't take the Gross Cardboard Box anywear), Insultingly High Price tag, & Color-TOO Dark Dull Drab BROWN- But I gave it an extra Point for being completely Matte- There are SO few 'True' Matte bronzers out there-- And I only found ONE that truly works to create a NATURAL golden Brown tan-Minus the Shimmer/sparkles= MAC Refined MATTE suntan -But, of course it's LE(sigh)

The ADCMP563/ADCMP564 are high speed comparators fabricated on Analog Devices' proprietary XFCB process. The devices feature a 1 ns propagation delay with less than 150 ps overdrive dispersion. Dispersion, a measure of the difference in propagation delay under differing overdrive conditions, is a particularly important characteristic of high speed comparators. A separate programmable hysteresis pin is available on the ADCMP564.
A differential input stage permits consistent propagation delay with a wide variety of signals in the common-mode range from -2.0 V to +3.0 V. Outputs are complementary digital signals that are fully compatible with ECL 10 K and 10 KH logic families. The outputs provide sufficient drive current to directly drive transmission lines terminated in 50 . to -2 V. A latch input, which is included, permits tracking, track-and-hold, or sample-and-hold modes of operation. The ADCMP563/ADCMP564 are specified over the industrial temperature range (-40°C to +85°C). The ADCMP563 is available in a 16-lead QSOP package. The ADCMP564 is available in a 20-lead QSOP package.
For additional technical information and samples, pls contact the High Speed Comparators Group. Supply your name, company, mailing address, telephone/fax numbers, email address and a brief description of your application.

Jan. 30 (Bloomberg) -- Canada's dollar fluctuated versus its U.S. counterpart and climbed against most of its other major peers as sparring over a second bailout for Greece spurred demand for safety.
The currency was supported by speculation Canada's exports will benefit from accelerating growth in the U.S., the nation's biggest trade partner. It trimmed a drop against the greenback as crude oil slowed a retreat. Stocks fell amid speculation the negotiations between Greece and European officials will snarl efforts to resolve Europe's debt crisis.
"It's very much still Europe at the moment," Dean Popplewell, head analyst in Toronto at the online-currency trading firm Oanda Corp., said in a telephone interview. "The only thing that's holding the Canadian dollar at the moment is the cross-play," he said, referring to trades against non-U.S. dollar currencies.
Canada's dollar, nicknamed the loonie for the image of the aquatic bird on the C$1 coin, was little changed at C$1.0015 per U.S. dollar at 5 p.m. Toronto time. It gained against all but two of its 16 most-traded counterparts. The loonie, which appreciated 1.1 percent last week, fell as much as 0.5 percent earlier today. It was poised for a 2 percent gain versus the greenback for January, its first monthly advance since October. One Canadian dollar buys 99.85 U.S. cents.
Bonds Rise
Canadian government bonds rose, pushing the yield on the 10-year note down as much as seven basis points to 1.91 percent, the lowest since Jan. 18, before trading at 1.94 percent. A basis point is 0.01 percentage point. The yield on the 10-year U.S. Treasury note decreased five basis points to 1.84 percent.
The greenback rose today against most major currencies as Greece, where the debt crisis began in 2009, faced criticism its economic makeover is faltering. It fended off German and Dutch calls for a European overseer to take command of its budget.
"The U.S. dollar is higher on the overall flight-to- quality bid, predominantly on the news out of Europe," Jack Spitz, managing director of foreign exchange at National Bank of Canada in Toronto, said in a telephone interview. "The global backdrop does not speak to improved sentiment; it continues to speak to uncertainty."
Greece's aid won't be finalized today because talks over debt restructuring aren't complete, German Chancellor Angela Merkel said earlier, while French President Nicolas Sarkozy said he expects an accord in the next few days.
European Summit
European Union leaders at a summit in Brussels agreed on a deficit-reduction treaty that will speed sanctions on violators and require balanced-budget provisions at a national level, two EU spokesmen said. Officials also decided to bring the EU's permanent rescue fund, the European Stability Mechanism, into operation July 1, a year ahead of schedule.
The summit was the 16th in the two years since Greece's fiscal emergency provoked Europe-wide turmoil.
Crude oil for March delivery dropped as much as 1.3 percent to $98.43 a barrel in New York before trading at $98.94, down 0.8 percent. Crude is Canada's biggest export. The Standard & Poor's 500 Index fell 0.3 percent in its third daily decline, its longest losing stretch since December.
The Canadian dollar strengthened against the Australian dollar by the most on an intraday basis in six weeks, on bets the loonie will outperform fellow commodity-exporters as the U.S. economy heats up while China's output cools.
Reached Parity
Down 0.1 percent this year after having lost 1.8 percent in 2011 against nine developed-nation counterparts in Bloomberg Correlation-Weighted Currency Indexes, the loonie rose to parity with the greenback last week for the first time since November. Foreigners piled into Canadian money-market securities at more than double the record pace set in 2008. Speculators have cut bets that the currency will fall against resource-rich peers.
The outlook is improving as Canada grows in lockstep with the U.S. and after it swung to a merchandise trade surplus in November on higher exports of energy and automobiles. The Australian dollar is the most overvalued in two decades versus the loonie, while slower Chinese growth amid higher inflation may lessen the attraction of countries that depend on selling raw materials to Asia's biggest economy.
U.S. employers added 200,000 jobs in December, twice the previous month's pace, as the jobless rate fell to 8.5 percent from 8.6 percent in November. Gross domestic product increased at a 2.8 percent annual rate in the fourth quarter, according to a Commerce Department report Jan. 27. That compared with a 1.8 percent advance in the previous three-month period.
The Canadian currency gained 0.6 percent today to C$1.0615 per Australian dollar after climbing 0.8 percent earlier, the biggest intraday jump since Dec. 19. The loonie appreciated 0.7 percent versus New Zealand's dollar to 82.04 Canadian cents.
"Canada is a relative outperformer today if measured against other risk-related currencies," said National Bank's Spitz. "Month-end flows means there should be some U.S. dollar selling at the fixes."

Have you ever witnessed this situation? - page 2
I went to the pharmacy to pick up a new prescription. When my name was called the pharmacist came out, opened the medication package, announced what it was for, held it up in front of everyone, and proceeded to give me detailed... Read More
- 6Sep 12, '12 by Meriwhen, ASN, BSN, RN Senior ModeratorMy pharmacy has signs stating that they cannot guarantee auditory privacy at the pharmacy counters. The same sign also states that if privacy is desired for the patient to ask to speak to the pharmacist in private. This is understandable given that the pharmacy is located an open and public area: one needs to be realistic about the level of privacy to expect while standing at the pharmacy counter at the local CVS.
Also, given the volume of customers that they deal with, it's also not feasible for the pharmacy to automatically pull every single patient aside to discuss their medications in private. Imagine how long that process would take: 20 minutes to wait on the prescription to be filled and verified then another 40 minutes waiting because the pharmacist is counseling...and most pharmacies only have one or two staff at most working the pick-up lane. Neverminding that there will always be that one patient with a million questions, not all of which have to do with the medication...
So while I'm not saying what happened to you was acceptable, you do need to realize that you are not in an entirely private setting and need to be realistic about what to expect. And now you know what to do the next time you need to pick up a prescription--immediately request to speak to the pharmacist in private.
- 0Sep 13, '12 by BrandonLPNQuote from That GuyYeah, most ERs I've seen are basically large wards with beds separated by curtains. You can and do hear everything. Not ideal, but it's reality.No worse then the "privacy" in an ER where you are explaining meds to a pt.
- 3Sep 13, '12 by BrandonLPNQuote from Wet NoodleBut I don't understand what you expected that pharmacist to do. Maybe try politely telling him you don't need instructions on taking the med? And I think he *has* to verbally verify your name and the name of the med as he hands it to you. I would imagine that is part of a pharmacy's safety protocol.What's wrong with it? It's a blatant HIPAA violation. And it's not up to the pharmacist to decide which drugs are to embarrassing for a full-room broadcast and which are not. What the pharmacist did is not OK even if you have one of the small number of "cool" diseases.He'd better become aware. He's violating federal law and risks large fines or worseHIPAA Violations and Enforcement (AMA)
- 3Sep 13, '12 by nursel56 GuideNo, that's never happened to me, I've never witnessed it and I would be upset, too. People who may need the services of free clinic days shouldn't be assumed to be less intelligent or less informed based on their supposed financial status, either. I would've complained to him and if need be, the next person higher up the chain.
Even when privacy is only a curtain, there is a definite difference between a conversational tone and and an "announcement" tone.
- 2Sep 13, '12 by RNewbieI understand having reasonable expectations of privacy. For instance, a pharmacist might inform a person that it is important to take the full antibiotic treatment even if they start feeling better without naming the medication or saying what it is used to treat, or to not drink alcohol with a certain med. I might expect something like that at the counter. I would not expect a pharmacist to say "Here is your Provestra, (while holding the package up) make sure you take it at least 3 hours before any intercourse for optimal vaginal lubrication, and you may notice xyz symptoms."
I have gone to the larger chain pharmacies and I have never noticed anything like that. They usually have a separate window away from others for people who have questions. I've gotten tons of scripts filled at these large chains and the most anyone ever says is "Do you have any questions about this medication?" At this small community pharmacy, I did not have any concerns about the medication. The pharmacist did not ask me if I had questions. He immediately took the medication out of the manufacturer packaging, announced what it was for and started giving me the most elementary instructions. He was holding it up like it was a tutorial. For those of you who are saying I should have stopped him, I agree. I was just paralyzed with shock. I did eventually stop him but it was too late, everyone was already standing around looking and listening. I grabbed the med and got out of there.
- 2Sep 13, '12 by microtutorNope, this has never happened to me. And I do use a chain pharmacy.
However, there are areas - one labelled "Drop Off" and one labelled "Consultation" where you can lean into a sort-of carel, with walls on either side of you. If you speak in a low voice and the Pharmacist/Techs also do, people over in the waiting area can't hear unless they have super-ears (some people just have those). So, it can't be perfectly private, but it isn't as bad as someone broadcasting your health information to the entire room. They could try a little harder to be discrete, especially when there are such stiff fines involved.
This happening to you in a small town is actually worse in a way - they don't have to counsel hundreds of people a day - they could probably take the time to explain things to you in private, or at least make an attempt. The next time you get your scripts filled, you should make sure to tell the pharmacist to his face that you know what HIPPA is, and that you think his "demonstrations" might be in violation.Last edit by microtutor on Sep 13, '12
- 1Sep 13, '12 by TDFlMedicRNOP, FWIW, I think you are right to be upset. If this were one of those Code of Conduct scenarios, I would call it a HIPAA violation; so it may very well be. The practice needs to stop; not just for you but for anyone using that pharmacy. Please report this to someone higher up the food chain than the bully pharmacist.Last edit by sirI on Sep 13, '12 : Reason: quoted removed post
- 0Sep 13, '12 by Injector631I'm there with ya... isn't that violating HIPPA laws?? I believe so... I have experienced the same thing in the small town I live in. I don't appreciate everybody in the pharmacy knowing I use a narcotic for pain control, especially since I work in the only health facility/small hospital here. These idiots literally have to be told they are violating the law, and to stop this practice or face reprimand. You need to speak up the next time it happens (and hopefully it doesn't!!).
- 1Sep 13, '12 by joanna73 GuideDepends on what the med was. If it bothered me, I would have said something right there. While HIPAA is important, let's be honest. In a public place such as a supermarket drugstore, people may overhear things. Now, the pharmacist still has a responsibility to be somewhat discreet and not shout out the information, but unfortunately, these environments are not private.
- 0Sep 13, '12 by CSUSM10I think you're getting way too gung-ho here. What the pharmacist did was pretty common, though it may not be right. What we're taught in the books are ideal/theoretical situations. Nothing in the real world is ever that pretty. How many times have you heard coworkers talking about things in the breakroom? Are you going to be super nurse and tell them to pipe down too? 99% of the people won't and don't pay much attention to it. Honestly to me, it only becomes a big deal when someone calls attention to something, thus making it a big deal.
When people start posting stuff on FB and saying names, etc. then it becomes a big deal and those people should be dealt with.
I'm sure if you would have called out the pharmacist and caused a scene, you would have created a more memorable situation for the people around you, and this would have been the exact opposite of what you want.Last edit by CSUSM10 on Sep 13, '12

: They're not touching the Baseball Jerseys/Logos? That new logo is so awful. I don't need/want consistency across sports.
::Thank you! I guess I needed to get on the baseball part of the board to finally hear some sense. The new logo does not belong on a baseball uniform, especially an ASU uni. I think basketball and football lend themselves to more modern looks but not baseball. When ASU first used those throwback unis everyone went wild for them. Baseball is the only sport where the past really does matter because it has so much history. I would not mind if ASU baseball went back to the pullover gold and maroon tops they used in the 80s because those bring back great memories. I would absolutely hate it if they incorporate this new logo or font of any of this new crap into any of the baseball uniforms.

This recipe was extremely easy and quick to make. I might have "tenderized" the chicken too much, but it still tasted fantastic. I am a big fan of dill and was worried that the amount of dill called for in this recipe would be too much, but it was perfect. Since I couldn't use my grill I cooked these in a hot grill pan and it still came out fantastic.
Very good and easy, but I would have preferred a bit more flavor. Maybe next time I'll use a combination of shallots and garlic, make double the relish, marinate the chicken in half the relish for an hour or so reserving the other half for serving and add the tomatoes at the end.
This was really simple and quite tasty - delicous and pretty for spring. I used baby heirlooms.
Delicious! The tomato-dill relish (salad, really)is wonderful the next day too. The combination of dill, shallots, and grainy mustard is terrific on both chicken and tomatoes.
Yummy. Love the dill flavor. The combination with the tomato relish is wonderful. Kids even liked it. This one is a keeper.
Deeeelicious! Quick and very easy. I substituted Quorn cutlets (fake chicken) which I sauteed in olive oil. My boyfriend said (unsolicited) after the first bite "This is a keeper. I can't wait to have it again!"
Love it! I don't have a grill so I baked the chicken at 350 for 35-40 mins. For the tomatoes I drizzled olive oil over them and placed under the broiler for a few minutes. Delicious!
Not as good as it sounded. I was really craving a strong dill taste, but it just wasn't there. I definitely think marinating the chicken breasts for at least an hour would help.

USS Neptune was one of a class of five 1244-ton screw steamships purchased by the Navy in 1863, while they were under construction at New York City. She was placed in commission in mid-December 1863 and left New York for the West Indies in January 1864. She spent the rest of the Civil War cruising in that area and in convoying the steamers that operated between the U.S. and Panama as part of the transportation route to California. Neptune was decommissioned at the end of May 1865 and sold in July of that year. She soon entered commercial service under the name Allegany but was wrecked in a fog off Long Island, New York, on 5 December 1865.
This page features our only view of the steamship Allegany, which served as USS Neptune in 1863-1865.

Corruption-fighting agencies in South Asian countries lack the power and independence to properly investigate politicians and officials for fraud entrenched in the region, a watchdog said.
A report released by Berlin-based Transparency International on Thursday said that many agencies needed their government's consent to investigate suspected corruption cases, while others faced massive political interference during their investigations.
"The region is characterised by a vicious cycle in which a highly elitist and unaccountable political culture remains largely unchallenged because the very actors who can bring those in power to task are being systematically silenced," said Srirak Plipat, Transparency International Asia-Pacific director.
The report comes days after India's Congress party, embroiled in a string of corruption scandals during its 10 years in power, was defeated in national elections.
The study, released in Nepal's capital, Kathmandu, examines efforts to fight corruption in six South Asian countries - Bangladesh, India, the Maldives, Nepal, Pakistan and Sri Lanka.
"As long as nobody brings the corrupt to justice, South Asia's leaders run the risk that future growth only benefits the powerful, doing nothing to help the half-billion South Asians who still live in poverty," said Plipat.
In many cases, South Asian watchdogs are deliberately weakened by their governments, while officials also use agencies to settle scores with political opponents or to protect powerful backers, Transparency International said.
In Nepal, the head of the national anti-corruption watchdog has faced allegations of fraud himself for several years and is currently the subject of several investigations.
With the exception of Sri Lanka, the countries surveyed have legislation to protect the public's right to information - but citizens are often unable to use the laws effectively because of official reluctance to respond to requests, the report said.
The study also found that whistle-blowers confront huge dangers when they attempt to expose corruption, with most South Asian countries lacking laws to protect them. Officials who try to expose wrongdoing face the risk of being transferred or removed from office.
South Asia is considered one of the world's most corruption-ridden regions, according to the watchdog, with high-profile politicians embroiled in huge corruption cases and many citizens complaining of being forced to pay bribes for essential services.

I really like this tinted moisturizer. It's the best one I've used since now. The result is matte and the coverage is really good (medium). It seems more like a foundation but it hydrates my skin sufficiently. It remains on my face for more than 4 hours without getting greasy. As most of clinique's products its quality is high. I will repurchase.
NC10 with very yellow skin
Very sensitive skin
Uber dry skin
I bought this TM yesterday, but I had huge samples during last Summer, so my review is mostly based on that.
Unfortunately the lightest shade they sell in Holland is #2, but because this TM does not have a lot of pigment in it, it still suits my NC10 skin. I compared #1 in Germany and there was hardly any difference.
I think this TM is quite moisturizing, all though I do wear a moisturizer underneath as my skin is uberdry (Oilatum face cream). I like the coverage, it reminds me of Face & Body foundation by MAC, its very good buildable and very share. Overall, for me, a winner!
Yes I will purchase this TM again!
Good product for those who are not looking for full cover. I found a good match wit my skin tone. Even though its a moisturiser, i prefer to apply it on the top of my day cream.
Contains some SPF.
On the other hand, it leaves marks on my phone when i use it (i hate it)
This is such a great foundation. It is sheer but you can layer for more of a medium coverage. I have fair skin and freckles and I really don't like covering up my freckles but I do need some "color" because I tend to get a little pale. This is best foundation that I've used for a nice, sheer coverage that is gentle on my skin and lasts all day. It is sheer so I've found that I do need to use a concealer for under my eye makeup for it to last. I love that it has an SPF15 and usually when I use sunblock or products with SPF, my skin will breakout but this has never broken me out or made my skin react adversely in any way. I've used this product daily for about 6 months now and I absolutely love it. It's a little pricey but such a great quality product that I would definitely purchase it again. For a tinted moisturizer, it's not streaky and blends into the skin really well and has a buildable texture that you could get medium coverage out of. I've also found that because I only use about a nickel-sized amount of product for my entire face, I'm still using the same tube that I bought about 6 months ago :)

I don't usually use tinted moisturisers, but received a sizeable sample of this in a gift set when replacing my Clinique 3-step - so I thought I would try it out!
After using this quite regularly over the past two months, I have to say that I like this product, but I don't love it.
What I liked:
The coverage is quite nice - it evened out my skin well, although if I want to cover spots then I have to use a concealer as well.
It goes on well and is easily blendable. I like how light it feels on my skin, especially next to my normal foundation (Estée Lauder's Double Wear).
It was an excellent match for my skin colour. I have very pale skin and finding the correct shade is always a problem for me, but not with this!
After it's just been applied, my skin looks dewy/glowy without looking greasy.
What I didn't like:
I have oily skin and after a relatively short amount of time, the dewy-ness just fades to greasiness.
The price of the full-size product.
Although there was a lot I liked, the effect over a longer period of time just wasn't good enough to make me want to spend over £20 on the full-sized version. The lightness of it on my skin has, however, prompted me to start looking into other tinted moisturisers, as well as BB creams, in the hopes of finding something which will suit my skin better!

This felt more like a foundation than a tinted moisturizer. That wouldn't have been a problem in itself, since I have lots of acne scars to conceal, but this oxidated really badly on me. Since it was heavier than your average TM, the oxidation really showed. I'm NW15, and Shade 01 was a good match (two lippies for that and the quality of the coverage).
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
As many people have pointed out already, a real problem with this tinted moisuriser is the limited shades. I got colour matched to #3 neutral and though it looked good for a while, it tends to oxidise, making me look salmon pink (I am Asian so it definitely does not suit those with a yellow undertone). It's also a bit too dark for my skin despite the 'sheer' coverage, but the one they had in #2 had run out apparently.
I also did not like the smell. I guess they didn't add any fragrance to it and kept it natural, but there was this typical plaster-y smell of lower end foundations/tinted moisturisers that I really don't like so it was quite annoying having to put it right next to my nose.
That aside, I will focus on some positive points. What I really liked about this was the glow it gave off, like a luminating glow you see on models, without looking oily. It is also good for use in winter, as it will moisturise your skin immediately and you will not need to put any primer on.
All in all, I think there are better products out there, like bobbi brown bb creams which have more range in their shades, offers higher SPF and sits lighter on the face. I find that this product will 'stick' to you skin for a few minutes before it dries and feels less sticky/heavy.
I have had no problems with this product. This is my first tinted moisturizer, and it worked out great. The only thing I don't like is that a little DOESN'T go a long way with this tinted moisturizer. Instead of the small amount of moisturizer needed with most other products, this one needs literally a whole blob. A dime-sized amount will NOT work. Another con is the price. It could be cheaper. I'd also recommend wearing a lotion/actual moisturizer underneath this tinted moisturizer. Other than those two or three things, though, I actually really like this product. It's very natural-looking and evens out the skin tone really well.

More reviews by AntiqueGlitter
This was actually the first tinted moisturizer I've ever tried. The only other one I've tried is the Laura Mercier Oil-Free Tinted Moisturizer, so I don't have much to compare to.
But, either way, this is a great product.
Its coverage is great--to be honest, it came to me as a shock. It has light-to-medium coverage, almost medium coverage, which is way more coverage than I expected. Apparently, according to the other reviews, this TM has too much coverage to be a TM, lol, but I would rather say that its coverage is a "pleasant surprise".
That said, it wears well over my primer. It doesn't contol oil that well (I have combination skin), but then again, it's a moisturizer, hence it's not really supposed to. But that's okay because that's nothing a light layer of translucent powder can't fix.
Its lasting power really isn't that great--I'd say 5 hours, maybe, with primer and a little powder--but I didn't expect it to either.
Shade 04 matches me pretty well. I'm NC35 in MAC btw.
It retails for $27, which is really cheap compared to all the $40-$60 price tags I'm used to paying for foundations.
Would I repurchase? No.

I had a big sample of this that I used for about two weeks and then I purchased it. I actually preferred the bottle of the sample to the full sized bottle. I do love this tinted moisturizer though. It doesn't break me out, provides coverage and is pretty cheap!
