1992 Volkswagen Jetta GL ECO Diesel 4dr Sedan
This is the second 92 Eco Diesel I have owned.This one has only 120,000 Klms (75,000 miles) on it and is in new condition. This 92 is naturally aspirated, otherwise no turbo, so you must adapt your driving to the power available. This car is very dependable and great fun to drive, with the good old firm VW feeling. Not a comfortable car, from a cushiony seat point of view, but overall a joy to drive and own.It loves to cruise all day.

1992 Volkswagen Jetta GL ECO Diesel 4dr Sedan
This car gets unbelievable gas
mileage. The door handles and belts
have given me a little trouble, but are
easily fixed. I have a turbo in mine,
and it's faster than an average four
cylendar. It's hard to find pieces to
sup this car up, but be creative. All
in all, this car ROCKS!

Who Wore It Better? Alice + Olivia White & Yellow Sequin Dress
Who Wore It Better? Alice + Olivia White & Yellow Sequin Dress
by Fashion
Like us on Facebook
I noticed this outfit comparison in Team, posted by JK Boogie, and just had to spread the love. These little Alice + Olivia sequined dresses are all the rage! While I actually prefer the night vibe of the black and blue one, the yellow and white one is super fun too. A lot of you adored Hayden in hers when she wore it a couple weeks ago...so I am very surprised to see Eva Longoria show up in the same little number. As for who wore it better, I like Eva's shoes better than Hayden's but I think Hayden's youthful flair makes more sense for this youthful dress. Also, this is a day dress to me - and Eva wore it out at the PURE nightclub in Vegas. What do you all think?
5 years
Is it just me or does Eva's shoe choice seem ever so wrong?The shoe hurts the look so much that it's simply not the same dress- Hayden owns this it's so fresh!

The shoe hurts the look so much that it's simply not the same dress- Hayden owns this it's so fresh!
6 years
definitely Hayden. while I agree that Eva's beautiful brown hair looks better with the dress, the dress isn't her - she looks like she's in a little girl's costume - while Hayden fits the dress perfectly. plus, I really don't like Eva's shoes...
7 years
I don't like blondes in yellow. Eva's coloring looks better with it. But I can't stand her shoes...
7 years
Hayden rocks this dress like no other. sorry Eva, you can't win them all.(and your shoes are horrible).
7 years
Eva doesn't even look comfortable wearing that dress. Hayden totally owns this challenge.
7 years
I like how it fit on Eva better but I think that they both look great in that dress. I do agree that it's more of a day dress than a night one.
7 years
Eva looks too thin in this..I think Hayden pulls it off better...and Sequin dresses are really popular right now! I think it's a cute dress
7 years
It look better on Hayden, but Eva looks great too.I´m Eva's fan,she always looks so glamorous.But this time, I don´t like her shoes.
7 years
Yeah, Hayden. I also do not like Eva's shoes. I think she is too petite to wear thick ankle-strap shoes like that.
7 years
Eva looks great. I wish that she had other shoes, but she rocks.
The other's purse is way too overwhelming for her.

We went into the JUNOs on such a high from Friday's show in Saskatoon, and left Regina with the biggest smiles on our faces.

""I have a dream….." Martin Luther King Jr." tuff's Profile
My dream is to visit all the exotic places that I have heard or read about, but life is too short to accomplish all my desires so I just have to do what I can and while I still can.
I like to travel without an organized tour group, but with flexible itinerary so I can take my time on any particular attraction without being hurry back onto the bus.
Wondering around foreign places without tour guide does have its drawbacks, such as transportation and lodging. However, that is part of the travel experience that you cannot get with an organized tour as there are many surprises as well as disappointments when you are traveling on your own.
I try to do as much research as possible before leaving home. However, nothing can prepare me with the local customs. I have learned to leave my "standards" at home any try to become a local and enjoy what that country has to offer while I travel. This is an entire different experience as some of the local customs are real eye openers.
I am not going to bore you with the places I have visited, but I will tell you the places I wanted to visit in the near future:
Machu Picchu, Peru
Harbin, Zhengjijie and Jiu Zhai Gou, China
Kusatsu, Japan
On one of your traveling days, if you happen to see a person wandering around without an organized tour group in any of the places mentioned above, this could be me; fulfilling my dreams….

Hi again!Cant wait to see your pics of the Wall in snow...! And could you tell me how much it cost you from Huairou to Mutianyu and how long it took?!
I hope you will be in Greece during Easter next year! I'm glad you found my Athens tips useful. I eat at Chinese restaurants everywhere I travel in the world, and I don't like Greek food anyway.
Thanks for your kind comment on my San Diego page! Glad the tips seem helpful to you.
Hi tuff, thanks for your comment on my Hong Kong page. I'm sure there are more than 60 signs... just the question where to find them. ;-) If you know any, pls let me know. Cheers, Robert

text: US investigators launched dawn raids Tuesday on dozens of Los Angeles locations suspected of offering "maternity tourism" services for mostly Chinese mothers wanting to give birth in the United States. The raids targeted apartment complexes in the Irvine, Rancho Cucamonga, Rowland Heights and Walnut districts outside LA where the US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agency says foreign clients are housed. "Such businesses provide travel and lodging services to pregnant foreign nationals interested in coming to the United States to give birth so their offspring will be American citizens," ICE spokeswoman Virginia Kice said. According to ICE, the maternity tourism businesses cater mostly to Chinese women who pay $15,000-$50,000 for the services, which can include getting social security numbers and US passports for their offspring.

Atoms, Atoms Everywhere! The History of Atomic Models Timeline of the Models* ? 460 BC 1800 1897 1911 Today Democritus John Dalton JJ Rutherford Many "Atoms" "Billiard Ball" Thompson "Planetary" scientists "Plum 1912 "Modern" Pudding" Niels Bohr "Bohr Model" *There are many more models. These are the ones we"ll cover in class. Democritus (c. 460 BC) Democritus asked: If you keep breaking matter in half, how many breaks will you have to make before you can't break it apart any further? Democritus called the smallest possible bits of matter atoms. (indivisible in Greek) He had no experiments to support his theory. Democritus was supposedly known as "the laughing philosopher" because of his wry amusement at human foibles. The Ancients – B.C. Believed Aristotle's theory that everything was made up of the fundamental "elements" Earth Wind (air) Fire Water Aristotle"s Folly Unfortunately Aristotle (the more popular Greek philosopher) dismissed the atomic idea of Democritus as worthless. (What?!) For more than 2000 years nobody did anything to continue Democritus" work. No surprise, we call these the "Dark Ages" of atomic theory. John Dalton (c. 1800 AD) English chemist, John Dalton, performed experiments and showed matter seemed to consist of "indivisible" particles (atoms). Though he didn"t know about atoms" structure, he did know about the Law of Conservation of Matter and based his theory on this. This theory was the result of alchemist experiments trying to turn lead into gold. The mass of starting chemicals is equal to the mass of the products. Dalton was an avid weather watcher and discoverer of color blindness among other things. John Dalton Theory --1800 (a.k.a "the marble guy") Atoms are the smallest particles of nature-indivisible and indestructible All atoms of the same element are identical Atoms of different kinds can combine to form compounds in whole number ratios. Chemical reactions are atoms recombining to form new substances. J.J. Thomson (c. 1897) In 1897, English physicist J.J. Thompson discovered the electron and proposed the Plum Pudding model of the atom. Using a CATHODE RAY TUBE, Thomson discovered electrons have a negative charge and thought that the rest of matter must have a positive charge to offset the negative electron. His Experiment JJ Thompson"s Model "Plum Pudding" Because the beam of light traveled from to the positive end of the tube he concluded that the light had a negative charge Because the beam could push a paddle wheel he concluded that the particle had mass. Thompson's model says atoms are positively charged spheres with negatively charged electrons randomly located throughout. Side Trip…Alpha Particles! Around this time scientists also discovered alpha rays (particles), which had a positive charge. Some physicists thought these alpha particles were made up of the positive parts of JJ Thompson"s atom. Ernest Rutherford (1911) Rutherford as a student worked under J.J. Thompson supervision at the famous Cavendish Laboratories. In 1911 Ernest Rutherford bombarded atoms with alpha rays to investigate the inside of the atom. The results were, to say the least, unexpected! Gold Foil Experiment Rutherford used Radium as the source of the alpha particles and shot them at a thin gold foil like aluminum foil but made of gold A fluorescent screen sat behind the gold foil on which he could observe the alpha particles" impact. When the particles bounced back or were deflected Rutherford reasoned that it hit something massive and positive. This mass became know as the nucleus. When the alpha particles went straight through it hit nothing. This happened most often so the atom is mostly empty space. Rutherford"s "Planetary Model Rutherford"s model said the negative electrons orbited a positive center (NUCLEUS)like our planets orbit the sun. The nucleus contained most of the mass of the atom And the distance between the positive center (nucleus) and the electrons was huge-like a marble in the center of a football field. The atom was mostly empty space!!!! One little problem… The theory of electricity and magnetism predicted that opposite charges attract each other and the electrons should gradually lose energy and spiral inward toward the nucleus. (BOOM! No more atom.) Niels Bohr (1912) In 1912 a Danish physicist, Niels Bohr came up with a theory that said the electrons do not spiral into the nucleus and came up with some rules for what does happen. This was a pretty radical approach, because for the first time rules had to fit the observation regardless of how they conflicted with the theories of the time! (Aristotle would have been furious). Previous experiments-White light gives off all wavelengths of energy- all colors. Previous experiments-helium gas only gives off certain colors thus the line emission spectra for helium is produced. The explanation- An electron absorbs energy it jumps farther away form the nucleus As the electron falls back closer to the nucleus it gives off the energy as colored light. How Light Relates to Electron Location Bohr observed that only certain colors were given off Therefore the electron could only orbit at certain distances from the nucleus Bohr"s Rules RULE 1: Electrons can orbit only at certain allowed distances from the nucleus (energy-levels). RULE 2: An atom absorbs energy when an electron gets boosted from a low- energy orbit to a high-energy orbit. Rule 3: Atoms radiate energy when an electron jumps down from a higher- energy orbit to a lower-energy orbit. Bohr's Model of the atom. Light can excite electrons around atoms and this gives rise to "quantum levels". Are We Done Yet? Almost… Cliff Notes version is that Niels Bohr came really close, and when you add the works of Arnold Sommerfeld, Wolfgang Pauli, Louis de Broglie, Erwin Schrödinger, Max Born, and Werner Heisenberg, we arrive at today"s model… Today"s Model!-Electron Cloud Today's model says electrons are not confined to fixed orbits. They occupy volumes of space outside the nucleus.

So, today I'm handing in the worst essay I think I've ever written. I have a serious problem with handing in bad writing but unfortuantely I can't do anything about it now. School just needs to be over right now! I have less than a month and work has been taking over my life. I need to sleep.

Bored in school
by Deceptionx3 on Comments
I am so disgustingly bored in school right now. Please, if you're online just message me or something lol I really can't pay attention today.
Out of my boredum I wrote two haikus about The World Ends With You
I really need entertainment lol
No time!
by Deceptionx3 on Comments
I have no time for anything anymore. I started about 5 games that I have failed to continue and bought about 12 books that I have yet to read and I keep buying more. I have two more games on reserve that are coming out within the next two weeks (Valkyrie Profile came out today! I have no money for it though =/) Stupid school is sucking up my leisure time and I'm not hapy about it =[
Beating Professor Layton
by Deceptionx3 on Comments
Well technically, I didn't beat it. The walkthroughs online beat it for me. I just got so fed up with the big INCORRECT's, "I let you down Professor" and "Well, I suppose I thought wrong" 's and I needed a way to beat it. So I shamefully used walkthroughs from the internet and I never do something like that unless I'm REALLY stuck. What got me more angry is that at the end of the credits it said To Be Continued....
Another one?! I don't think my damaged ego can handle another =[
Professor Layton and Stupidity
by Deceptionx3 on Comments
So two days ago I bought Professor Layton and the Curious Village thinking that I should have a game to play to relax. I was completely wrong in thinking I'd be relaxed by playing this. I never felt so dumb in my life. A lot of the puzzles are very hard and are having me doubt my intellect. Some of the puzzles are getting me pretty frustrated and I'm thinking about just stopping and starting Final Fantasy Tactics A2 (I bought it the same day) I really REALLY hope that others have had as hard of a time with these puzzles if they ever played the game.
Bad week and birthday blues
by Deceptionx3 on Comments
Well, this week already seems like it's going to just be completely horrible. It already started with a conversation that I did not want to have and I have a lot of school things that are just falling on me and NOW my job decided to give me more hours. To top it off my birthday is tomorrow and I don't even want it to happen. I'm going to fail my driving test, I just know it. I can't parallel park for my life. This week needs to be over and it needs to be over now.
Damn research paper
UPDATE: I passed my driving test! YAY =p
Gaming Night with Princess Mononoke

This is JePssie's friend Julianne! Jessie's at my house right now and we're planning a major game night...kind of. The majority of the night will be spent watching Princess Mononoke, which is (obviously) an amazing movie. I've seen it before, but Jessie has yet to experience any of the Miyazaki works.
We're off!

Checking out of Hotel Dusk
by Deceptionx3 on Comments
Well, I have just finished playing the game Hotel Dusk: Room 215 on the Nintendo DS and I have to sa it was quite amusing. After 18 hours of gameplay, Hotel Dusk seemed worth the tedious conversations and little mini games in the end.
I have to say I am a (not so) secret Kyle and Mila supporter (despite the major age difference) and was EXTREMELY happy with the ending! I guessed most of the story but some parts really caught me off guard, but in a good way.
I would never replay this game though because it takes so long to get through simple conversations and nothing will really be suprising anymore.
Overall, I am completely satisfied =D
P.S. Next to me is my greatest friend Julianne....she says hello to the people of GameSpot
P.P.S. My friend Dana is on the other side and says Hi as well

Grand Parkway proving to be a park and ride conundrum
Transit and highway officials have nixed a plan to expand a Metro park and ride lot at Interstate 10 and the Grand Parkway by building beneath the parkway, concluding that it would cause a traffic headache around the intersection. The decision sends the Metropolitan Transit Authority back to considering other options to expand the Grand […]

Crucial has unveiled the next generation of its M-family solid-state drives at this year's CES. The M500 upgrades the Marvell controller to the 88SS9187-BLD2, which SSD aficionados may recognize as the controller from the Plextor M5 Pro drives. Crucial of course writes its own proprietary firmware for the controller, and Plextor does likewise. This time around Crucial has elected to keep the M500 branding consistent between consumer (Crucial) and enterprise (Micron) drives to minimize confusion.
Most intriguing though would have to be Crucial's pricing. While prices were not disclosed, Crucial indicated that it would expect to deliver an M500 960GB SSD at a price below $600, making it a very substantial discount from current SSDs on the market. It appears lower capacity models will also share the aggressive pricing. The 960GB drive actually has 1024GB of NAND inside, but Crucial has increased the over-provisioning of the drive for better sustained performance.
Sequential Read | 500MB/s | |||
Sequential Write | 130MB/s | 250MB/s | 400MB/s | 400MB/s |
4K Random Read | 62,000 IOPS | 72,000 IOPS | 80,000 IOPS | 80,000 IOPS |
4K Random Write | 35,000 IOPS | 60,000 IOPS | 80,000 IOPS | 80,000 IOPS |
NAND | Micron 20nm MLC | |||
Warranty | 3 Years |
Right away it's worth pointing out that the M500 almost doubles the random 4K read IOPS from 40K to 70K compared to the m4. Sequential read performance is also brought up to par with more current SSDs. Even more interesting is that unlike most SSDs which attain their best performance around the 256GB size, the M500 achieves its best read and write performance at the 480GB/960GB capacities.
The M500 will launch in 2.5", mSATA, and M.2 (NGFF) form factors and feature a standard 3-year warranty. The 960GB model will only be available in the standard 2.5" SSD form factor. As indicated in the table, Crucial will utilize its own Micron 20-nm MLC NAND for these drives and it will be interesting to how this affects the endurance ratings of the M500 compared to those of the m4. Interestingly, all models are now 7mm in height as opposed to the typical 9.5mm SSD, and will ship with a 9.5mm adapter.

Top 10 agencies with telework issues
How does your agency compare to others when it comes to allowing employees to telework? The latest Federal Employee Viewpoint Survey gives some insight.
Marine Corps University Foundation
Host Derrick Dortch is joined by Retireed U.S. Marine Corps Brigadier General Thomas V. Draude.
September 23, 2011(Encore presentation October 7, 2011)
GAO praises DoD audit plans, questions implementation
In reports and testimony to Congress, the Government Accountability Office finds DoD has built a credible plan to meet a Congressionally-mandated full financial audit by 2017. However, the audit agency is skeptical the military branches will be able to implement the plan in time.
Air Force at risk of missing financial audit deadline
The Navy and Army told the House Armed Services Committee they were on track to meet the 2017 deadline to have clean financial audit. The Army Corps of Engineers already achieved the goal and the Marine Corps is well on its way as well.
Navy, Marines lower bar on IT spending reviews
Each service will have a board to approve technology buys. The Department of the Navy CIO established the level for sign-off at $1 million, but the Navy and Marine Corps set their thresholds much lower. The goal is to gain more control than ever over IT purchases in order to reduce the technology budget by 25 percent over the next five years.
Navy to spend $500M for alternative energy
The Navy and Marines want the private sector to help them come up with replacements for petroleum based fuels as part of the departments' efforts at reducing their reliance on foreign sources of energy.
Takai: DoD CIO can't 'mandate' culture change
Trying to change the culture-driven patterns of IT spending in the military services by issuing edicts would not work, and should not work, the Pentagon's chief information officer said. She said she sees her role as making sure the services have what they need, and that their IT efforts benefit DoD as an enterprise.
Navy targets December for NGEN RFP
The Department of Navy is moving in a different direction for the follow-on to the NMCI contract. Officials said they are unsure how many contract awards they will make.
Exclusive: Agencies detail buyout, hiring freeze plans
In a governmentwide survey, agencies reported that they were not seeking buyouts through OPM or hiring freezes
Frm. Marine doesn't hold "grievance" against Corps
A marine who took pot shots at the Pentagon says he didn't do it for the reasons most people think. Learn more in today's DoD Report.
Navy launches new integrated, secure portal
There's a new web portal for Navy and the Marine Corps. Learn more in today's DoD Report
Female commander writes Marine history
Brigadier General Loretta Reynolds has become the first female commander of the Marine Corps' historic recruit depot at Parris Island, S.C.
Navy must cut IT business systems spending by 25 percent
The Navy readies RFIs for email and data storage to figure out how to best reduce spending on non-mission critical systems. Navy CIO Terry Halvorsen is exploring whether DON's non-classified email can be hosted by a third party, and whether a public-private partnership can be developed around data centers. Navy has no plans to use the DISA email system.
'Ruthless' cost cutting coming to Navy IT
Terry Halvorsen, the Department of the Navy's chief information officer, said the Navy and Marine Corps should expect ruthless cost cutting in information technology. Halvorsen said if the services don't cut costs themselves, it will be done for them.
Collaboration lessons from Army, Marine Corps training
GAO's Sharon Pickup explains how the Army and Marine Corps are working together and how your agency can work with other agencies to achieve a common goal.
Defense puts green in its blueprints
Contractors building facilities for the Navy and Marine Corps have to offer up some green elements in their blueprints. WFED's Jared Serbu reports.
BRAC links and resources
Federal News Radio has compiled a list of important links and resources on the 2005 Base Realignment and Closure.
USMC to cyber contractors: come ready or stay home
The Marine Corps has a message for the information and cyber technology industries: Unless their new communications and computing solutions can be deployed in a tip-of-the-spear environment, don't even bother to call.
GAO evaluates overbudget, overdue helicopter program
The Pentagon is under fire from investigators who are "concerned" about a weapons program that's over budget and past its deadline.
Marines going green to save lives
The Marine Corps is going green to save lives rather than to save the planet.

Barnet have signed 21-year-old Jordan Mustoe on loan from Wigan for the rest of the season.
The full-back will fill the void left by Jack Saville, who returned to Southampton after Saturday's 2-0 win over Crewe Alexandra.
Manager Lawrie Sanchez saw Mustoe play during Wigan's FA Cup defeat by Swindon Town at the start of January.
That was his only appearance for the Wigan first-team this year and he did enough to convince Sanchez to bring him to Underhill.

Last week, I found the cutest gift for less than $10. The Homegrown Monogram Mug from Anthropologie makes the perfect present for someone you want to spoil pretty – without breaking the bank. So if you're still stumped about what to buy your co-worker, kid's teachers, or bring to a holiday party as a hostess gift – this is it. And if you've got a couple more dollars to spend, stuff the mug with a Starbucks gift card or a baggie of chocolate-covered espresso beans!
Anthropologie Homegrown Monogram Mug
Polished: Best of MAKE UP FOR EVER Kit
It includes:
- HD Microfinish Powder
- Aqua Cream in 13 Warm Beige (champagne shimmer)
- Travel Aqua Eyes in Mat Black 0L (black)
- Lab Shine in Star Collection – S4 (pearly pink beige)
- HD Microperfecting Primer
- Smoky Lash Extra Black Mascara
I first applied the HD Microperfecting Primer, which made my skin feel smooth and wasn't too heavy. I then applied my regular foundation. Next up was the Aqua Eyes eyeliner (inside upper lid, and on upper lid), which was precise but had smude-ability. I added Aqua Cream in 13 from the liner to my brow bone, and it gave the perfect amount of color and highlight. Then two coats of Smoky Lash Mascara, which I was probably the most curious about. My lashes are long, and hit my brow bone, so at the end of every day I have to make sure I haven't turned into a raccoon. Finally, I dusted the HD Microfinish Powder over my entire face.
Essie Chinchilly with OPI Servin' Up Sparkle
I may be the cosmetics connoisseur of the family, but my mom is definitely the nail phile. I know a lot about polishes and own an extensive library of lacquer, but every now and again I get schooled by my manicure mixtress mother. Her latest combo is a coat of OPI Servin' Up Sparkle (from the Serena Glam Slam collection) layered over her all-time fave, Essie Chinchilly.

If The Shoe Fits: Audrey Brooke Paris Flat
That's when I saw it…the Audrey Brooke Paris Flat. I was immediately enamored with the Reva doppleganger and rendered positively giddy by the price tag – just $59.95! But would the shoe fit? As I hurriedly removed my Ugg boot and slipped my foot into the shoe, I said a little prayer and…it fit like a glove. Not to sound dramatic – okay, maybe just a little – it was a Cinderella moment.
Alas, I didn't buy the shoe in the store because I figured I could save more if I purchased online. So as soon as I returned home, I got on the Internet and picked up a black pair for less than $30. As I explained in a recent review of the Audrey Brooke Leopard Satchel, the awesome thing about DSW.com is that you can combine coupon codes. By combining some promo codes I researched online and cashing in some coupons I received as a DSW Rewards member (sign up…it's free!), I saved $30 and got free shipping.
In addition to black leather, the Paris Flat is available in a metalic leather and a leopard print haircalf. They leopard ones aren't available online, but I spotted them in the store – just, sadly, not in my size. So I called some other local DSW stores and tracked down a pair in my size – and they're on hold until I can go adopt them on Friday. I can't wait!!!
Update: I scooped up the shoes a few days ago and I am so proud of my purchase. Too cute, right? |
Maybe it's a godsend that my feet are so fat…because, for less than the price of Reva, I can pick up all three pairs of Paris.

Makeup Mondays With Mario: Defined Eye Crease
Celebrity makeup artist Mario Dedivanovic is answering your burning beauty questions!!! Every Monday, he will answer a beauty/skin care question as part of a weekly column on Spoiled Pretty, Makeup Mondays with Mario.
Hi Mario,
You are a huge inspiration to me you truly inspire me to try new and different unique things as a make up artist. There is just one thing I find tricky to achieve when I do make up. What's a easy way for a really defined eye crease? I find it very challenging to create this look and I always end up with two different shapes on each eye! What's the trick?
Thank you so much!

Polished: A Note On Nail Art
Hello, spoiled pretty readers!
I adore good nail art. The Internet is full of great examples – chevron stripes, zombie faces, manicures in Tiffany blue with white detail to look like gift boxes – the examples are endless.
Personally, I always wanted to achieve half-moon nails at home. A beauty idol of mine, Dita Von Teese, often rocks a perfect half-moon manicure with ruby red and bare nail.
For my first attempt, I painted the bottom half of my nails silver, and went for purple on the top portion of the nail. It was so ugly, I destroyed the photographic evidence.
For my second and final attempt, I went for bare nails on the bottom portion, and red on the rest of the nail. I applied stickers meant for french manicures on the bottom of my nail, and painted over them. You are supposed to wait until the polish is completely dry to remove the stickers. I didn't exactly trust that, so I removed the stickers when the polish was still slightly tacky.
Some stickers left a well-defined line behind, some were crooked, and more still looked like I hadn't even used stickers at all. Ugh.
I came to the conclusion that I am far too much of a perfectionist to ever be happy with do-it-yourself nail art on my own nails. I applaud those of you who have the patience and artistic ability to do it, I am just not one of those people. So, I am going to stick to what I am good at – basic manicures!
Makeup Mondays With Mario: Don't Make Me Matte
Celebrity makeup artist Mario Dedivanovic is answering your burning beauty questions!!! Every Monday, he will answer a beauty/skin care question as part of a weekly column on Spoiled Pretty, Makeup Mondays with Mario.
Hi Mario,
Chanel Coco Blue and OPI Crown Me Already!
After weeks of sporting a chipped-up, raggedy-ass-looking mani because I was too busy to get my nails did, I finally found some time to do them myself. Peep my new polish…
I started with a coat of Zoya Get Even (to create a smooth surface) and a coat of Zoya Anchor base coat. Then I applied two coats of Coco Blue, from the Les Jeans De CHANEL collection. Once Coco Blue dried, I layered OPI's Crown Me Already! (from the Miss Universe collection) – a mix of sparkly microglitter and larger glitter pieces. Finally, I sealed the deal with Zoya Armor topcoat.
Glitterrific, no?
Audrey Brooke Leopard Satchel from DSW
I am so excited about my new handbag, Audrey Brooke's Leopard Satchel, that I couldn't keep this fabulous find to myself. The photo doesn't do this bag justice, so I shot a video to highlight its prettiness.
Besides being extremely cute (doesn't it look designer?), well made and roomy, it was also crazy affordable. I would value this bag at about $200-250, but I snagged it for less than $100. It's on sale at DSW for $129.95, but if you buy it online, you can use coupon codes to get a great deal. The awesome thing about DSW.com is that you can combine codes. By combining some random codes I researched online and cashing in some coupons I received as a DSW Rewards member (sign up…it's free!), I saved $30 and got free shipping.

Harry puts focus on league
01 Dec 2009 - 09:05:10
Tottenham boss Harry Redknapp has admitted that a top-four Premier League finish is more important than a Carling Cup run for the north London club this season.
The 2008 winners and 2009 runners-up currently occupy a Champions League qualification spot in the league table after a strong start to the season.
But speaking ahead of Tuesday's quarter-final tie with Manchester United, Redknapp has admitted that his focus this year is more on the league.
Holders United won last year's final on penalty kicks at Wembley.
"Wembley is a great day out but I would love to get into a Champions League position with Spurs," said Redknapp.
"You can win a cup and have a bit of luck on the way but to get to a Champions League position would be done through a whole season. It would be great for us.
"If you win it (the Carling Cup) and everybody enjoys it, but Tottenham won it two years ago and then went into freefall. So it didn't do them any good."

Interview DetailsThe interview process was quick and simple, but they did not provide a realistic job preview. They told me what I wanted to hear...or what they wanted the job/company to be but wasn't. I didn't get to interview with the team members, which was a huge miss.
Interview Questions- There were no difficult questions. People at U.S. Cellular assume that anyone from the outside knows more than they do, and it's usually true because they don't challenge their employees to be experts in their field. Answer Question
Negotiation DetailsThey would not negotiate on vacation time, but they increased the salary offer when asked.Accepted Offer - Interview Details
