Wow - great colour. I picked this up in the discount bin for $1.89 at a local salon. Wasn't sure if I'd love it, as it appears as a fairly ho-hum, muted, creamy fushia colour in the bottle, but I love purples and at that price i couldn't lose.
Just tried an application and can say it's messy and a little hard to work with but worth it. I did one coat overall, then a touch up for the most transparent or uneven nails. I found I had to cap my nails with this colour because it really emphasizes any whiteness of your natural nail showing under the tips and on the edges (google this colour for images and you'll see what I mean), and it really shows any unevenness or mistakes. It's thick and the brush is a bit too big for the thickness of this colour and it was hard to get precise application evenly near the cuticles and sides of my nails. I have a few errors to clean up now. Think next time I'll do broad strokes with the OPI brush, then switch to a disposable, finer brush for the other areas.
The colour applies in a dark burgundy wine colour that i love.
I gave this product a low mark for packaging because I have had to toss more OPI colours than any other brand because of the propensity of their caps to get cemented to the bottle and I'm not a careless user. Even trying locking pliers can't budge the cap once this happens, and you realize the bottle could break before the cap budges, so it's a toss. It's made me so paranoid of this happening again that I periodically wipe the bottle neck with my fingers to make sure it is clean, while I'm doing an application. I had to with this colour, and so that made things extra messy (can't use a tissue with colour drying on your nails!).
This is the first regular nail colour I've used in a year or so, because i normally use my Nailene gel kit, but the price and colour are worth the fling! If this chips in 2 days or less, I may permanently disavow on any more regular nail polishes.
I love this color of purple! It is a medium red based purple cream. It goes on smoothly and is opaque in two coats. It looks fab with fair skin on fingers and toes. I recommend this shade to anyone that likes purple nail polish. I will definitely repurchase.

Just had my mani done with this and can't stop staring at my hands! Such a unique shade, and a very true, perfect creamy bright purple.
I cannot describe how much I love this polish! Of my entire collection it makes my top 3 and (along with do you lilac it? And got a date to-knight) I particularly love wearing purple nail polish and own more purple than any other colour. Pamplona is amazing. The colour is a perfect dark plum in 2 coats. Application is a dream, so smooth and even. The durability is amazing! I wore it just over a week before experiencing minimal tipwear and natural nail growth (i use an opi base and top coat) and it doesnt stain like i find with some oter purples in my collection. All round a truly perfect polish abd A gorgeous purple creme! I couldnt be happier with it :)

This is a pretty purple, but it dried much darker on my nails than the bottle color. I was hoping for a color that leaned a bit more towards fushia, but this looks like a dark grape/plum on my nails.

This is actually my favorite color ever, and maybe my favorite polish too. Could have worn it with one coat, but two was just perfect. Completely opaque and an almost perfect purple.
I wanted this colour for so long and couldn't find it in any store as it was a limited edition. I tried Siberian Nights but it's way too dark, I really was looking for a medium purple type of shade.
And then one day, by chance, I found it! I really like the colour, it's stays on for quite a long time if you use a topcoat (I use rapid dry top coat from OPI). The only down side is that it needs 4 coats... After 3 it still was stripey.
But as 4 coats help it to hold on better, I don't mind!

Perfect mid-tone purple to bring out the warm tones of skin! I have plenty of similar colors (congeniality is my middle name, louvre me louvre me not) but this one is definitely different because it`s a medium purple with no shimmer and it looks so SHINY on the nail because of it!

Iraq improves to 2-0 in Games
ATHENS, Greece -- The resilient Iraqis are making the most of their return to the Olympics.
They defeated Costa Rica 2-0 Sunday night in a soccer game that was temporarily halted when jubilant fans ran onto the field. The Iraqis second straight victory put them in the quarterfinals, quite an achievement for a team that can't play games at home because of war.
Iraq was not expected to qualify for the Olympic tournament, much less open with victories against Portugal and Costa Rica. The country last qualified for the Olympics at the 1988 Seoul Games and hasn't been in the quarterfinals since the 1980 Moscow Games.
Its success in Athens has provided a rare bright spot for Iraqis around the world.
"We're delighted by the victories because we know what it means to our people," Iraq coach Adnan Hamad said through an interpreter.
In the 67th minute, Hawar Mulla Mohammed slammed a bouncing ball into the net from 18 yards out to put Iraq ahead, sending the crowd into a frenzy. Mohammed jubilantly sprinted around the endline and up the sideline, where he was mobbed by teammates.
Within moments, a couple of Iraqi fans jumped out of the crowd to join the celebration. About two dozen others followed, running around the field. Police and security personnel took about three minutes to clear the field of fans and debris.
Shortly after the ensuing kickoff, Mohammed took the ball down the left side and crossed it to Mahdi Karim, who scored on a header -- prompting several fans to storm the field again.
One jumped around Costa Rica's goal and tossed an Iraqi flag into the net. Another ran to midfield and hugged an Iraqi player. After another short delay, the game resumed.
Iraqi Olympic Committee president Ahmed Al Samarri did not approve of the disruptions, but he understood them.
"They were very excited," he said. "Especially for the Iraqi people, they miss such happiness."
In May, Iraq clinched an Olympic soccer berth just three months after the country was reinstated by the International Olympic Committee following a nine-month absence. Iraq's Olympic Committee was previously run by Saddam Hussein's son, Odai, who tortured players when they fell out of favor.
Two months after qualifying, the team's German coach, Bernd Stange, resigned, saying authorities told him to leave for his safety.
He was replaced by his assistant, Hamad, who coached Iraq's national soccer team to victory in the West Asian Championship in 2002 and played on the national team during the early 1980s.
In July, Iraq reached the quarterfinals of the Asian Cup, a run that included a 2-1 win over regional power Saudi Arabia. It was Iraq's first win over the Saudis since 1988.
Against Costa Rica, the referee added six minutes to the end of the second half, mostly to make up for time lost because of the fans. After the second Iraq goal, police and security called in reinforcements to guard the stands on either sideline, where most of the 12,153 fans were seated.
After the final whistle, the Iraqi players linked arms and jogged toward their adoring throng. Some fans were able to make it past the police to embrace players.
"The difficulties that all Iraqis have endured, especially over the last year and a half with the occupation -- we fully recognize what we're doing as ambassadors for our country," Hamad said.

Bailouts: Last Friday, the Obama administration quietly expanded an insurance industry bailout program that it publicly insisted never existed. In exchange, Obama wants a big political favor from insurers.
Last week, the administration promised insurers it would use "other sources of funding" to protect their profits "in the unlikely event" that ObamaCare costs more than expected.
The language was buried in a 435-page regulatory filing that only the industry would normally care about. But it caught the eye of the Washington Examiner's Philip Klein on Friday.
The bailout story got legs this week when the Los Angeles Times followed suit, noting that the regulatory change could "potentially make billions of additional taxpayer dollars available to the insurance industry."
Keep in mind that only a few weeks ago, White House officials were denying that any such bailout existed in ObamaCare. The "risk corridor" program at issue, a White House budget spokesman said in March, was merely a "safety valve for consumers and insurers" transitioning to a "brand new market."
It was, the administration promised, there only to protect insurers temporarily, as a way to encourage them to join ObamaCare, and was just like the one used in the Medicare Part D drug benefit program.
Besides, they said, the ObamaCare risk corridor program would be self-financing, with overly profitable insurers paying in so money-losing ones could take out.
But in his latest budget, Obama proposed setting aside $5.5 billion for the program, just in case. The Times makes clear: Obama expects something big in return.
The expanded guarantee comes, the paper says, "as part of an intensive administration effort to hold down premium increases for next year, a top priority for the White House as the rates will be announced ahead of this fall's congressional elections."
In short, Obama is offering the industry virtually unlimited taxpayer bailout money, in hopes that it will return the favor and avoid politically damaging rate hikes, at least until after November's mid-term elections.
Left unsaid in all this is the fact that the only reason such bailouts are needed in the first place is because ObamaCare tries to replace basic market forces that normally govern the insurance industry with a vast array of complex and costly cross subsidies.
Obama might think "this thing is working." Taxpayers now on the hook for ObamaCare's failure shouldn't buy it.
Health Reform: The Congressional Budget Office now says ObamaCare will push 10 million off employer-based coverage, a tenfold increase from its initial projection. The "keep your plan" lie just gets bigger and bigger.The latest CBO report is supposed to be a big win for the Obama administration ...
Politics: Should the State of the Union continue in this form? Not only was the president's speech a fundraising pitch, so was Sen. Joni Ernst's GOP reply. That does a disservice to both a rising star and the competition of ideas. Based on content and delivery, you'd never guess that the newly ...
Regulation: We're heartened that the Senate's new leaders plan to strip out the worst parts of ObamaCare. By raising premiums and reducing wages, the law is squeezing the middle class harder and harder.Two new national surveys show the pain of ObamaCare metastasizing throughout family households ...

Transformers Extinction (2014) Whilst critics might rip them apart, there's no denying the spectacle of a Michael Bay blow 'em up picture. From The Rock and Armageddon, to Pearl Harbor and Bad Boys. In the Transformers franchise, he's found an entirely appropriate outlet for his style of filmmaking; a kinetic blend of visual effects and live action, with bright bold colors, lots of explosions and sex appeal. Such was the success of the model that out of five films in the last seven years, the director has only made one picture that wasn't a Transformers picture. But if the diminishing returns of the franchise are any indication, it's well past time that Bay gave the keys to the playpen for someone else to play with. Five years on from the events of Dark of the Moon, the Transformers have fallen out of favor with the United States Government, blamed partially for the fallout from the Decepticon devastation that befell Chicago. The remaining Autobots, led by Optimus Prime (voiced once more by Peter Cullen), have been forced into hiding by CIA agent Harold Attinger (Kelsey Grammer), the head of operation Cemetery Wind, which is responsible for hunting down good and bad robots. When Prime is discovered by backyard inventor Cade Yeager (Mark Wahlberg) in the guise of a beaten down truck, his daughter Tessa (Nicola Peltz) and her boyfriend Shane (Jack Reynor) became quickly entangled in the battle. Wealthy research firm KSI has discovered the secret to the robots transformation capabilities and replicate their own Transformers, but in doing so, they've unwittingly created an army for the evil Decepticon Galvatron (voiced by Frank Welker). | The appetite for Transformers pictures has been voracious, with each of three live action pictures grossing more than the last, making for a combined total of $2.7 billion at the worldwide box office (not counting the funds pulled in from associated merchandising), so you can well sympathize with Paramount and Habro's reluctance to let the franchise sleep. In recent weeks, they've even dated the next entry for 2016, although Bay has not yet signed on. The fourth outing, which follows from the events of Transformers: Dark of the Moon, wipes the slate clean, with an entirely new cast and even unleashes fan-favourite Dinobots into the mix. Despite this, the stale formula isn't in the script - it's in Bay himself. I must admit to a personal disdain to many of the reviews from my compatriots, who single out the half-baked script and under-developed roles for actors whom are capable of much more. It's not that they are wrong - the likes of Kelsey Grammer and Sophia Myles are undoubtedly wasted in bit-part roles, but it's far from the film's most fatal flaw. Disappointingly, this could have been dealt with in the editing suite. Age of Extinction is one long ass film. At 165 minutes, there is just no way that the kinetic style of filmmaking can hope to sustain audience's attention for that long. Viewing the film in 3D became near painful. The best visual effects, the biggest explosions and the shortest mini-skirts can't overcome this. Cutting at least 45 minutes from the films run time would have resulted in a much tighter experience, with action sequences that pack a punch rather than wear out their welcome and would significantly reduce viewer fatigue. And the studio would have been happy too - it probably would have shaved $40-$50 million off the film's bottom line. Michael Bay is a solid filmmaker, and many of his films are counted as some of my guiltiest of pleasures. It's just a shame that as his success has resulted in the consolidation of more and more studio clout and final cut approval, he's let his own indulgences get the better of him. |

4.5 Use strategy to play JimRocks2007 | 15/10/2011 | See all JimRocks2007's reviews (24) As a veteran gamer I was appalled to read some of the silly one line reviews for this game. Clearly some people don't believe in giving a game of this quality a chance. Firstly, it seems, some of these individuals clearly have not learn't the concept of strategy gaming. Why run into a horde of beasties when you can lure them out at a distance with your bow, hide in the woods and pick them off one by one or get them to follow you into a village and allow the villagers to do the hard work for you before you get down to business of stripping the corpses of their ill-gotten gains all for yourself.The concept of an orc king back from the dead appealed greatly and through the use of characters and events the story unfolded with me being drawn in. Yes, what I was looking for and where was I going even with the use of the mini map could have been easier but at least being able to identify an item when you were close to it helped.I agree the lip syncing and the graphics aren't great but for me this game was easy to play with much land to cover and quests to do.If there is a major blip and why i'm deducting a star is the lack of detailed explanation on how to teleport. What is not explained is if you choose to download the update for this game off xbox live you can no longer teleport. That is if you follow the instructions in the enclosed manual. However if you push down on the right analog stick. select teleport, choose on the map where you want to go and then press A (green) it should work.So to summarise if your not too bothered about how it looks or mainly sounds but want a playable RPG that you you don't need a degree in how to play. check this game out.
4.5 A joke covies | 06/03/2011 | See all covies's reviews (1) i tried to give it a chance but , its just awful.The fighting style is stupid and the story line makes no sense.The map and mini map dont make any sense , they just put in a lot of green and purple dots and expect you to know what to do.And the lag....this game lags in singleplayer and i cant even move in multiplayer.it also seems like they got about 5 random people to do the voice acting in the entire game , and there serious about making sequel?This is just a joke , why are people giving it more than 2 stars??And i DID try and get into it.Nice try guys
4.5 some crazy people out there. Dawson7606 | 19/10/2010 | See all Dawson7606's reviews (1) this game is quality! reminded me a bit of when i used to play runescape, one of them games once you start playing and get into it you cant get off, i cant wait for the second one, the graphics arent the best but to give this game a bad review i cant get my head round that at all. 4 stars for me easily.
4.5 Ignore the children SuicideGrunt | 06/08/2010 | See all SuicideGrunt's reviews (7) ignore all the reviews given one star. obviously just 5 minute reviewers (I.E someone who doesnt even give a game a chance and instantly gives it one or 5) i have played this game time and time again, i really cannot understand the 1 star reviews! ok so the graphics arnt perfect and theres some glitches but beyond that it is great! and as for the dialect taking to long... it really doesnt, they just replace such words like it is with tis' and you with thee and thou. there is plenty to do and only multiplayer can be fun. this game was epic when it first came out and is still awsome if your looking for a cheap game that is still good.i would really give it a 4 to be fare, but i cant stand to see it at 2 so it gets promoted to 5 :D
4.5 not bad at all tommyr1 | 01/09/2009 | See all tommyr1's reviews (18) Ok yea the graphics are not awesome but you have to take into mind the size of the game ... I had trouble trying to work it out to start with as i have just got in to these games but its very good and when i start playin it i cant seem to draw my self away from it. Its got a massive world and i think its gonna take me hours to complete , id say for a tenner get it .
4.5 A bad version of oblivion??? Shortysmith | 14/05/2009 | See all Shortysmith's reviews (24) I found myself liking this more than oblivion. The only reason for that being that oblivion is a slow game in which you need alot of time dedicated to playing it to get somewhere. Two worlds was completely the opposite. The campaign was good as there is a good storyline to it and getting places was alot easier.Some drawbacks are that you can find yourself wandering too far and end up at a lvl 100 monster when your only lvl 10. It can get very confusing at some stages. The lvling up system is very fun and user friendly.The online play is good. It still is very laggy with alot of players. It can get boring as they will start killing the villagers. At lvl 1, without help you will find yourself dieing against even the easiet of creatures and not gaining any xp. So i didnt get very far unless nice and generous gamers give you potions which give you more health.I would still be playing it if there wasnt any good games out. This was given to a friend and he was confused from the start. This is not one of the best games in the world but its still worth giving it a shot. But i would get this game as a last resort and look for another game which could be better.
4.5 Laughable. Oberael | 15/03/2009 | See all Oberael's reviews (20) The game feels like an elaborate practical joke. It has no place among gaming, late alone next gen.
4.5 Great game with a long list of flaws! JohnJackson | 23/02/2009 | See all JohnJackson's reviews (18) I can agree why so many people would give this 1 star! There are a huge amount of annoying things which are wrong with the game and if you dont play the game for over an hour you will never know how good this game actually is. Many people are pointing out the flaws so ill go into the positives.The world is massive and very open meaning you can just run into the distance if you desire and just explore. The game is fairly long aswell with me defeating the last boss after around 30hours although i rushed the last half of the game because i found the enemies to difficult and could kill me in one hit, my character was around lvl40. Also i have no idea what the max level is you can get to, i have seen pieces of armour requiring lvl 140 to use...You can also customize what armour you want to wear and combine the same type to make it stronger. I have combined my weapon over 20 times and is pretty powerfull and i have no idea how powerfull you can actually make a character.For me the exploration was brilliant, just running around the world was great fun although like most people this game was terrible for the 1st hour and if i hadnt of stuck with it i would of never known how good this game actually is!
4.5 OMG!!! liam101 | 09/02/2009 | See all liam101's reviews (2) OK this is the worst game i have ever bought, I would expect better graphics from a N64. The dialog is appalling being out of sync and the way the talk is so annoying. Ive tried playing it twice and i turned it after about 15mins the first time, gave it a chance a second but i couldn't put myself threw it. This game doesn't get close to Oblivion. The combat system is useless and you die so easily, you just button bash until all the enemies die. Personally I wouldn't even recommend renting this game.DO NOT MAKE THE SAME MISTAKE AS ME
4.5 "Bandits..." .... no wait it's an orc.. Conveant | 05/12/2008 | See all Conveant's reviews (6) South Peaks new view on Elder scrolls, this game boasts large open environments, large assortments of weaponry and armor and old English dialogue.So it should be great yeah? Well.. no, for a starters, the graphics left a lot to be desired, as textures were incredibly disappointing, the character creation was very little more than name selection and height, offering little in customisation. Also I can't help but believe the dialect was a bit unnessesary in the ammount of translation to Shakespearean English, to the point where the Novelty wore off and it took about 2 minutes longer to explain everything when in modern English it would of took just 20 seconds.What this game can be proud of though is the vast outdoor space, in which exploring is vital to get anywhere. If you can get over the annoying attacks of pathetic Wolf packs every 10 seconds, you will eventually find a decent fight with Orcs, Golems, or even the odd Dragon or two. The Storyline can be completed in multiple ways, although with a level 35 character I found it reasonably easy to take the quick route for two artifacts and kill anything what got in my way (The Relic frame for example, where you can do one of two sets of questlines or just kill the guard at the gate, kill the leader who puts up no fight at all and take the frame). After being warned that my character is too low to finish the last bosses, I completed the game at level thirty six with ease pretty much.Yet despite the lack of a challenge I found it to be pretty fun after ignoring its other flaws (a task harder than completeing the game). After taking my character to level 42 to get a good view of the game, I still believed that perhaps it could of been better, it could of been great really, but someone somewhere had just lost all hope for his/her game and only half finished it. And that is exactly what this is, a half finished game and a let down for all.

President Al Gore had some seri ous repair work to do in the second of three debates this past Wednesday night He was only partially successful Stylistically Gore had a different hair do and his makeup was better Gone were the sighs and eye rolling that char acterized his reactions during the first debate He apologized for the exaggera tions and personal embellishments of the past William Bennett called them in a damning indictment in the Wall Street Gore mostly avoid ed untruths until near the end Gore denied that he is in favor of increasing taxes on energy yet in his book Earth in the he advo cated higher gasoline prices for the express purpose of discouraging energy use He is part of an administration that boosted the federal gas tax to help bal ance the budget but opposes its repeal even in the face of huge projected sur pluses The vice president still wants credit for his wifes brief campaign in the 1980s against filthy and violent song lyrics But he virtually apologized for that earlier position as he and more recently his CAL THOMAS running mate Joseph Lieberman have placed their snouts in Hollywoods cam paign cash trough In 1987 Gore said that Senate hearings he had endorsed two years earlier were a mistake that sent the wrong Was it more wrong than the messages the entertainment industry is sending children Gore who has tried to impress with his supposed encyclopedic retention of the names of world leaders placed the new president of Yugoslavia Vojislav Kostunica in Serbia as its president On socalled hate crimes laws Bush said that the white killers of James Byrd the black resident of Jasper Texas who was dragged to his death behind a pickup truck had been convicted and sentenced to death He didnt see how a hate crimes law could impose a stricter

the General Accounting Office reviewed Gores reinventinggovernment initiative and found that his claims were inflated and unsubstantiated The GAO selected at random billion worth of spending and could not verify twothirds of it The GAO also cited a number of creative accounting techniques used to make the claim including double counting in which credit was taken for costcutting that had been well under way before Gore got involved and a failure to factor in offset such as employer buy outs Gores ballyhooed 25 percent cut in the staff of the Executive Office of the President came at the cost of reducing the number of people in the Office of National Drug Control Policy Gore has also claimed responsibility for eliminating large numbers of federal regulations But the GAO found only pages were eliminated and that not taken into account were the number of new pages added while these were being removed In some said the report agen cies added more pages than they removed during the

Sen. Dick Durbin decried U.S. firms that renounce their corporate citizenship to avoid taxes, saying Tuesday that he would introduce a measure to put them at a disadvantage for federal contracts.
"When it comes to a competition between companies, if we have, on one hand, an American company paying its fair share of American taxes, competing with an inverted corporation that has decided to go overseas, we believe: advantage America," the Illinois Democrat said.
He said the measure would send a message to companies seeking to invert: "Think twice."
The measure is called the No Federal Contracts for Corporate Deserters Act.
If enacted, it would bar federal contracts from going to businesses that incorporate overseas, are at least 50 percent owned by the shareholders of the original U.S. corporation and lack substantial business opportunities in the foreign country in which they are reincorporating.
The law currently defines a company as inverted if it is at least 80 percent owned by U.S. shareholders after it reincorporates overseas, according to Durbin.
An inversion is when a U.S. corporation buys or sets up a foreign company, then moves its tax domicile into that foreign company's home country while leaving core business operations in the United States. Such a move ends U.S. taxation of the company's foreign profits and makes it easier for the company to take other tax-cutting steps.
Inversion deals are legal, and company executives who arrange them say they are only trying to minimize the amount of taxes the company pays, as investors expect them to do.
Drugmaker AbbVie, of North Chicago, is among the corporations that recently announced they are "moving their mailbox overseas to avoid paying their fair share of taxes," according to a Durbin statement. Deerfield-based Walgreen Co. also is considering such a move.
The White House estimates that nearly $20 billion in corporate taxes could be lost over the next 10 years because of inversions.
Durbin appeared at a news conference Tuesday in the Capitol with four Democratic lawmakers who support his measure: Sen. Carl Levin of Michigan and Reps. Rosa DeLauro of Connecticut, Sandy Levin of Michigan and Lloyd Doggett of Texas.
They don't move their executives or operations, but "they do move their mailbox," DeLauro said. "And in effect, they renounce their American citizenship in order to dodge paying taxes in the U.S."
In the past, companies often tried avoiding taxes by pretending to reside in Bermuda and the Cayman Islands, but now, Switzerland, the Netherlands, the U.K. and Ireland "are also destinations of choice," DeLauro said.
"And the abuse of this loophole is growing," she said. She said 14 major inversions have been announced or completed this year.
Companies that invert take advantage of the U.S. education system, infrastructure, research-and-development incentives and a skilled workforce, she said.
"But when tax bill comes due, they hide overseas," she said.
And when it comes to applying for federal contracts, "they all are as American as Uncle Sam once again," she said.
In response to Durbin's statement, a Walgreen spokesman said the company "hasn't announced any decision on whether to do a tax inversion."
"We expect to announce a decision on that and other issues related to our acquisition of (Switzerland-based) Alliance Boots in the coming weeks, but nothing has been announced at this point," spokesman Michael Polzin said.
In its most recent annual report, Walgreen said that about 5.2 percent of its total sales came from state Medicaid plans, for which the company fills prescriptions.
Polzin said it wasn't clear whether Walgreen's relationship with the state Medicaid plans, which are partially federally funded, would be considered federal contracts.
AbbVie reported in its annual report that "no material portion" of the pharmaceutical company was "subject to renegotiation of profits or termination of contracts at the election of the government."
A media representative for AbbVie did not return requests for comment.
The Democratic lawmakers, when asked about the prospects of the bill's passage, said it was difficult getting any legislation passed with so few planned legislative days remaining before November's midterm elections.
But they noted that some House Republicans had supported amendments to appropriations bills to curb the practice.
Durbin is running for re-election against Republican State Sen. Jim Oberweis on Nov. 4.
Oberweis, in response, issued a statement Tuesday saying:
"Dick Durbin and his job-killing policies have produced the worst economic recovery in U.S. history and this is just more of the same. It is a poor excuse for tax reform and not a serious attempt to fix our country's anemic economy."

Russian delegation hits Washington to lobby against 'Magnitsky' sanctions
Moscow/London - Russian Ambassador to the United Kingdom Alexander Yakovenko is going to ask the British Foreign Office to give a formal explanation over media reports about tighter control of entry to the UK for Russian officials from the Magnitsky list.
"Ambassador Yakovenko is to ask the Foreign Office on Monday to give formal explanations over the September 2, 2012 article in the Sunday Times newspaper, alleging that entry restrictions have been introduced in relation to the so-called Magnitsky list," the Russian embassy told Interfax by telephone on Sunday.
More detailed comments on this matter could follow on Monday, the embassy official said.
Earlier on Sunday Conservative MP Dominic Raab told the BBC Russian Service that UK Immigration Minister Damian Green sent to the British Embassy in Moscow a list of 60 officials who, according to the British authorities, are involved in the death of Hermitage Capital lawyer Sergei Magnitsky. Earlier similar reports emerged citing The Sunday Times.
In interview with the BBC, Raab said that the listed officials will not be necessarily denied a UK visa.
The names on the list were not disclosed but the list includes the individuals who were denied entry to the United States as a result of an information campaign by Senator Ben Cardin, Raab said.
Hermitage Capital lawyer Magnitsky, who was charged with tax evasion, died in custody in Moscow on November 16, 2009. The official cause of his death is a heart failure. Magnitsky's defense lawyers said that he had repeatedly complained about his health condition and asked for a medical examination. The lawyer's death prompted a broad outcry. Human rights activists blamed doctors and security officials for his death.

Been here? Rate It!
Not only for drinking
You have to come in the famous temple bar area.It's the area where you can find so many pubs and attractions that they will take you so much to have the desire to spend here the all day.It's an area full of different locals,you can eat,you can drink,you can meet different persons and cultures.And anyway it's safe..even if you drink,you can't go out of pubs with the glass,so it's ever a safe area.As you can check in the photos i made friendship with..well a very drunk man that noticed i was making pictures all around! Ireland persons...you are great!!!
Broken promise...
Before my trip to Dublin I had promised myself to stay out of the Temple Bar, having heard so much negative about the tourist trap that it almost made me wanna forget about the whole trip.
But since when am I good at keeping promises... Although I was forced into the bar due to a meeting...
The Temple Bar I would say is one of the most famous things in Dublin. It's a huge pub, in the middle of the center, very close to the O'Connell Bridge. The outside is classic red, which makes the pub shine up compared to everything else. It seems to be packed all the time and it's a very happy atmosphere in there.
But Temple Bar for sure wasn't anything for me. It was way too crowded, way too warm, way too expensive and way too strange people in there. :)
I had thought the place would be packed with loud young americans, but instead it was packed with loud old americans. Old, as in over 35... :)
It wasn't as bad as I thought, but there sure are better pubs in the Temple Bar-area.- Music

Temple Bar
It's unavoidable, but you're going to want to visit Temple Bar when you're in Dublin, right?
It's NOT Dublin's 'Old Town' quarter or anything like that. All thats in Temple Bar are pubs, clubs, trinket shops and restaurants. Dubliners just leave Temple Bar to the tourists, they don't really frequent it that much themselves.
This area was only renovated back in 1991, it used to be a run-down and squalid part of town, but the Dublin corporation wanted to spuce it up and turn it into a bohemian arty area, inspired by Paris.
It has a wide variety of pubs and restaurants... however, these establishments are the most expensive in the city, so don't say I didn't warn you! Also, you'll certainly find that the tourists totally outnumber the locals in this part of town, if that is a factor for you.
Many bars in Temple Bar will NOT admit Stags or Hen parties, due to the years of drunken destructions wreaked over the years by thousands of UK stags and hens. Small parties *might* be allowed in, if they can charm the bouncer and don't look like they're going to thrash the place.- Road Trip

Great fun!
I went out in Temple Bar on a sunday-monday night, so I'm sure I experienced a very low-key version of Temple Bar nightlife. However, I still had a ton of fun! I'm from New Orleans, and I was expecting a Bourbon Street atmosphere, which was not what I got. Temple Bar was much cleaner, had no sleazy strip clubs and bars, and was less crowded. Overall, I had a great time pub hopping, drinking, meeting new people, and listening to great music. Try an Irish car bomb: a shot of whiskey and a shot of Barley's dumped into a pint of guiness, which is then quickly chugged. Fun!
Temple Bar
This is really unique place. It was so crowded here that people were standing even in toilets.:) I couldn't hear nothing from other people beacouse of live music but I managed to organize a date for the forthcoming night.;) This was the second place where I decided to try Guinness and I must say that I started to have a mood for it more often... Anyway, Temple bar is the place you must visit!
Although quite Touristy i liked Temple Bar.I think everyone should visit here.Set in the oldest part of Dublin with lovely cobbled streets.There are lots of bars, shops and eating places, great for people watching,the street entertainers were very good as well.

Get Lost
Like any other city, one of the best things to do is to get lost. Put down the map and wander around. Trust me, it will be rewarding. Anyways, in Dublin, taking the narrow alleys and back streets will leave feeling as if you are somewhere that is timeless. One of my favorite places in Dublin is around the back of the Tourist Center (go figure). The parking lot here seems to have once been a graveyard (the center is a renovated church) with the cement surrounding random tombstones and statues. The picture is of a few of the buildings visible from the parking lot.
Visit Temple Bar and meet fellow countrymen
I knew going into my trip that Temple Bar is " tourist Dublin" and people were right. However I'm glad I went into Temple Bar because they have some cool looking pubs and some decent restaurants.
The night I went in was a Friday and it seemed that every stag and hen party in Europe was all there at the same time. The streets were filled with people in various stages of intoxication but it was fun walking around people watching and hearing all the Irish music coming from the various pubs. There were usually 3-4 Guards on every block and I saw horse patrols come through. So the police are alway in the area.
But in reality Temple Bar is set up for tourists who want to spend their money on over priced drinks and trinkets.- Aquarium
Every city has one
Temple bar is the place everyone has to visit while in Dublin. Unless you want to buy fetish gear, get a tattoo or piercing or just get blind drunk, it's best just to stroll through and get your coffee somewhere else!
Some quaint little streets
Although we decided the bars & pubs were generally best avoided in the Temple Bar area, (very packed and overpriced) - it is good for a wander around during the day. Lots of charming little lanes with interesting independent shops.
The heart of the Temple Bar area is Temple Bar Square. It was once the sight of one of the major fights during the 1916 Easter Rising at Telephone Exchange. Now its a lively area with buskers and surrounded by restaurants and bars.
This is one of Dublins most well known & popular areas. It was all renovated in the 1990s after being earmarked as the "cultural quarter" in an effort to recreate something of a Left Bank flavour - with cafes, small shops etc sitting alongside artists studios and such. Its now a bit overcommercialised in some ways but does have some good places and is a lively, vibrant part of the city.

Colby O'Donis - I Wanna Touch You
Artist: Colby O'Donis
Producer: Red One
Album: Untitled Sophomore Album
Avg Rating: 3.8 ( 58 votes )
Over the course of the past year, Colby O'Donis' career has seen its share of peaks and valleys; despite the overwhelming success of lead single What You Got, Colby O peaked at an underwhelming #41 on the Billboard 200 Albums Chart. Just as many were beginning to write him off, though, O'Donis' guest appearances on Lady Gaga's worldwide smash, Just Dance, and his boss, Akon's successful single, Beautiful, provided proof that the singer wasn't about to fall by the wayside. In fact, he's already getting started on his sophomore LP. New single I Wanna Touch You finds Colby O struggling to maintain self-control as he eyes a lady he knows is already taken. Complete with a keyboard-synth instrumental by KonLive in-house producer Red One, I Wanna Touch You has potential to be as successful a summer jam as What You Got was in '08. Will O'Donis' proven formula yield another hit? We'll have to wait until the single's Memorial Day release to know for sure.

This has been my go to for almost 10 yrs now, I have tried everything from high end to drugstore & everything in between & this continues to be the best concealer I have ever tried.. It covers my acne, redness, & hyper pigmentation. While it may not be my favorite for under my eyes I have no problem using something else (I prefer brightening products under my eyes anyway)
Long story short, if you are in the market for a new concealer give this one a shot! It is worth it!
- full coverage
- blends very easily
-- I've tried using my fingers and a makeup sponge, and it blends beautifully with both
- a little goes a long way
-- since it's super blendable, I can easily it spread it over a large area
- lasts for a long time
-- I would apply this on around 7 am and would find it still there even after 12 hours
- feels very lightweight
- limited shade range
- if you have oily/combination skin, you need to blot once or twice in order for the concealer to last for a while
Finally! A drugstore concealer that has my shade! The shade I have is 02 Light. It's yellow enough for my skintone and also has a slight brightening effect. Instead of wearing foundation, I put this concealer all over my T-zone and little on my cheeks.
I use this all over my face, not under my eyes only. I actually like the texture and feel of this better than the CS foundations. Maybe that is why these concealers are so expensive. The shade medium matches my skin perfectly. Although I am oily, it does not feel greasy on me. It holds on the whole day and I have no complaints whatsoever. Highly recommended.

This is okay but I recommend that you moisturize heavily under the eyes because it looks cake like and drying. It lasted only 5 hours on me and is pretty much a mediocre product. It did blend well though.
EL makes a far better product.
2 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
My experience with this concealer has gone from okayish to terrible.
A few good things about it is that its the only concealer that matches my skin tone perfectly. It also blends well and looks very natural... but that's the thing. It looks natural because it doesn't do it's job - conceal! I have minor hyper pigmentation marks which seem to go away after putting it on with a very light hand, but even after giving it quite a while to set, it does not stay put. It seems to slide all over the place and I find myself needing to reapply layers and layers of it, which ends up looking horribly cakey. I feel that it's due to the formula being too wet :( won't buy again!
Shout out to this ds underdog
Since I've suffered from acne forever basically, I have probably tried every concealer to cover hyperpigmemtation scars.
I find this lasts longer on my scars than mac PLW. By the end of the day my hyperpigmemtation spots are highly visible wearing PLW, but this covers them completely and all day without me having to cake it on.
Long lasting
02 light is a perfect perfect match on my nc15 skin
Price (PLW is $19 for .3 oz and this is like $9 for .2 oz)
Great texture- not so thin it doesn't cover but light enough to move easily around the skin and work quickly
Doe foot applicator
Has salicylic acid- dont use for undereye concealer. I still use PLW for that (nw20)
Should have more product for a ds brand (*i feel*)
All in all this is a great product that no one ever talks about. Can be hard to find at times, but I'll go out of my way bc this is such a great concealer.

I found this product to be a little pricey. I purchased it at Target here in CA for $10, it was more than my foundation, also by Revlon (Color stay Foundation) which was on sale for $8.99. Pros: Easy application, good coverage Cons: Pricey, hard to blend I think I may have gotten a shade too light, and this is why it is hard to blend. I thought that it was going to cover zits a lot better than it does, you can still see some redness after I put it on. But I would still recommend this to anyone! Just make sure you get the right color!
This concealer is ok. Nothing to write home about though. I find it to be light/medium, depending on how you apply it.
Pros - covers the way it should if applied correctly
- blends well if blended immediately
- "01 Fair" matched even my super pale complexion
Cons - doesn't last long
- if you try to build it, it looks cakey
- have to tap undereye lines for a few minutes after application to avoid having those bright, concealer-creases
Point of note - a pro or con depending on what you're looking for, this is essentially a light coverage concealer. I don't currently have anything major to cover up, so it's alright for me. But when I do, I have to try to build it, which takes way too much carefulness for me to want to do it very often.
Overall, I'll continue to use it until it runs out, at which point, if I can't find anything immediately that I think is better, I'll buy it again. It's not so bad that I would try "anything else". But I'll be looking for something better when it's done. :)
this is an excellent concealer!
I like the feel on my skin and it has a soft brush that is easy to
sweep under your eyes or dot on your nose!
it does what it says on the packaging! COLOURSTAY, the colour lasts all day long
overall, I would say it is a lightweight fluid concealer that is gentle to apply, lasts long and looks great, it is a wonder product in my opinion!
I have been using ZA Perfect Fit Concealer which works really great in my opinion before switching this. Decided to get this second hand, because it retails for $19.90 in my country (which is pretty expensive in my opinion considering this is a drugstore brand) and also because the colourstay range from Revlon has very good reviews - I thought this would be worth giving it a shot.
Things I usually look for in a concealer:
-> thick consistency YET does not feel or look cake
-> able to give medium - full coverage
-> packaging should be convenient and not cause spillage
Shade: 05 Medium Deep (I'm roughly a NC30-35)
+ Creamy
+ Buildable coverage - won't look extremely cakey (I live in humid conditions)
+ Able to give medium-full coverage
+ Comes in a tube - you just have to dab on the amt of concealer you want, will not cause spillage
+ Has a scent that smells very much like......chocolate(?) **: it does not bother me though, I just felt surprised by the scent of it.
- Does not last for more than 3-4 hours.
- Needs to be reapplied, which sucks because I do not have the time to reapply them!
- Product is very thick, you have to be wary about putting too much - a little can go a long way in my opinion!
Overall, it didn't really exceed my expectations considering that I really love their colourstay foundation and photoready foundation, maybe I expected that the product can have around the same amount of lasting power. I would still prefer to use ZA's Perfect Fit concealer in my opinion.
