Rosicky urges Arsenal pal Walcott to ignore critics
Arsenal midfielder Tomas Rosicky says Theo Walcott must not think about his critics.
Walcott struck a hat-trick in their 6-0 victory over Blackpool.
Arsenal team-mate and fellow midfielder Rosicky witnessed first hand Walcott demonstrate his true potential on Saturday and believes he did so because he played with a smile.
"I just hope he will not play football to answer his critics or something," Rosicky told talkSPORT.
"I think the best way is to go out and enjoy his football - that's always what worked for me.
"Let's go out and enjoy the game and I think he enjoyed it [against Blackpool]."

Vehicle reportedly spotted in Oregon, Northern California
Amber Alerts were activated in Oregon and Washington on Wednesday evening as the massive search continued for the man suspected of killing a Lakeside woman and possibly her son, and then abducting her daughter.
San Diego County sheriff's homicide Lt. Glenn Giannantonio said tips have poured in from all over the country from people who have reported seeing a blue 2013 Nissan Versa that suspect James Lee DiMaggio, 40, may be driving. None of the sightings have been confirmed, officials said.
Oregon State Police said in a statement that San Diego County sheriff's officials asked for the alert to be issued after reports of vehicle sightings Wednesday in California near the Oregon border and later in Oregon. The alert was extended to Washington state.
One report came about 2 p.m. near Lakeview in southern Oregon, and the other was earlier along northbound Highway 395/299 near Alturas in California, Oregon State Police Lt. Gregg Hastings said in the statement.
"Law enforcement officers from multiple agencies are on the lookout for the vehicle," Hastings said. The California license plate is 6WCU986.
DiMaggio's friends and family are baffled over the accusations that on Sunday he killed Christina "Tina" Anderson, 44, possibly her 8-year-old son Ethan and a dog, then set fire to his Boulevard home and kidnapped 16-year-old Hannah Anderson.
DiMaggio's sister said Wednesday she thinks her brother has been the victim of foul play.
Lora Robinson, 34, said she cannot believe her sibling, a telecommunications technician, is capable of doing the things he is accused of.
"That's completely out of character for him," Robinson said.
She described her brother as her best friend and "her rock." She said he spent four years in the Navy and left the service to come home and take care of her after their mother died of cancer.
"He is the kindest person in the world," Robinson said.
She said DiMaggio has worked at the Scripps Research Institute for the past 20 years, and in his spare time volunteers rescuing animals. He once spent $2,500 to save the life of a cat, she said.
"He couldn't hurt an animal, much less a human being," Robinson said.
DiMaggio has known the Andersons for years and considered the children's father, Brett Anderson, to be his best friend. When Brett Anderson separated from his wife and moved out of the couple's Lakeside home to go to Tennessee, he told DiMaggio to look after his children for him, Robinson said.
Brett Anderson flew to San Diego on Tuesday and made a public plea to DiMaggio to let Hannah go. He urged the girl to run if she had the chance. And while the body of the child found on the rural property has not been identified, family members believe it is that of Ethan.
Giannantonio said that autopsy results obtained Wednesday indicated the burned remains are of a child about 8 years old, but no identity had been confirmed.
Robinson said her brother was trying to help Christina Anderson and supported the kids, who considered him an uncle.

I'm bad I can't even solo twin emperors
Honestly what is the trick to this, no matter what I do they heal too full constantly!!

Even as frost with army up the best I got was 76%.
They spam heals every second!!!
Try doing it as blood, and putting yourself against a wall. That worked for me yesterday. Went really fast with my gear (yeah, I have some tank gear, main spec)
And I actually have a bit better gear than you - I did stand in the corner, I saw some pally video about positioning.
Not exactly sure what the issue is, in the latest hotfix it says the heal is changed from every 2 secs to 3 secs, so it might be bugged or something.

I don't know if this question has popped up before but, im currently leveling a DK. It is currently level 83. What professions should i take if it was pure for soloing purposes?
I was thinking about Engineering + ???. Engineering has some great benefits.
The problem seems to be I can't seem to get them far enough from each other, and I can't really kite them since the knockback and slow thing, but it's probably just me being bad at stuff it wouldn't be the first time - no biggie just went there for the pets and I dot the blob one.
Twin emps should be pretty easy. Stand in corner, and pop necrotic strike on the non melee immune one. Pop DRW + Necrotic spam during it and you should win easily. If you're in the right spot, then the melee one should never move out of range, nor should you be knocked back anywhere.
It's pretty impossible (maybe possible with awesome gear/necro spam) to do it in frost because they're completely immune to frost strike.

Secondary I would have to say alchemy it gives the most number of options on what to boost (all flasks/elixirs have double duration and increased effect, not potions though) I like to use Prismatic Elixir since it's a good way to reduce magic damage a bit.
I did Twins as 2h frost with somewhat not very good gear (469). I only Obliterated the melee one and used Frost Strike on the adds. It took some time and i had to use Lichborne self heals and Death Pact practically on cd. Not sure if this is the best strat, though.
At what level does Death Pact become better than Death Siphon? I'm level 70, and Death Siphon heals more than Death Pact and does more damage than a Death Strike with 5 Scent of Blood up.
If you're having issues with Twin Emps, do it the Cataclysm method. Sit in a corner as Blood until they Berserker Enrage. Their damage goes up quite a bit giving you plenty of Vengeance, and they'll actually die. They also don't hit hard enough to put you in a situation of dying.
Worked at 85, no reason it wouldn't work now.
chest is a 3 mastery upgrade from the 308 one (just massive stamina), although it does give a lot of parry and hit/exp. LW I don't even use on my bracers because of the mastery enchant, lol.
I cant do the gunship no matter what I try, going over killing the mage only takes like 3-4 hits, the round before I always kill the back 2 and still have time to kill 2 more in front (with cannons), but my ship takes constant dmg when there should be no one making damage lol I have tried this one 20 times and just cant get it, the first two bosses in blood were tickling me like rogues do, but a non boss I cant get by yet lol
The twins I am in full blood pvp gear (dreadfull no mal gear, and the crafted 460 weapon) speced pvp with pvp enchants and gems and can get them down in about 3-4 mins and I dont even fight them in the corner or anything. I spam all abilities other then diseases which dont work on the damage dealer, I used army at the start with my minion, used my minion again off cd and used d and d. I killed them with full health since even taking fall damage one ds fully heals me. I don't know what else to add except it was very easy this time, I used ds as much as I could because it was giving high damage to the damage dealer (he is the only one I focused on).
I had no trouble with twin emps as blood in little more than dungeon gear, I think I have one LFR piece and the conquest helm, rest is all dungeon, JP or honor pvp gear.
Failed terribly as frost, went blood, rammed myself in a corner and beat them up - didn't need to bother separating them, died pretty quickly.
Prismatic Elixirs were changed in 5.1 to grant resilience instead of resistance.
As a blood DK waiting for Brawler's Guild and finding out there are ridiculous dps checks.

NEW YORK ( ETF Expert) -- It may be too early to declare that the "do whatever it takes" rally is dead in the Mediterranean Sea. After all, there is still a fair amount of interest in buying broad market stock ETFs on weakness.
For example, on Wednesday, block trading institutional investors snatched up shares of the iShares S&P 100 (OEF) on 12 times the normal trading volume. The activity increased OEF's net assets under management by an attention-grabbing 3%.
By the same token, there are equally intriguing contradictions. For instance, since Mario Draghi's July 26th pledge to do anything and everything to get the eurozone through its debt crisis, the percentage of S&P 100 stocks above a long-term moving average had collectively remained above a 200-day trendline; that is, they were able to hang in there until Tuesday. In fact, with more selling taking place on Wednesday, one can expect the slide to be even more pronounced.

Does Botox wear off?

Does Botox wear off?
Web reference: http://www.shapiroplasticsurgery.com/blog/what-to-expect-when-you-get-botox-injections
Have a question? Ask a doctor
Botox in the Lip Area
Botox changed lip
- This is a predictable result of Botox done as you describe.
- You have a Botox effect that should wear off over about 3 months.
- Do not let the nurse inject you again -
- If you are concerned enough, consult a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon or Dermatologist to advise you and next time - use that physician, do not use a nurse. Best wishes.

Botox will wear off
Thanks for your question. Botox will definitely wear off. It usually lasts about 10-12 weeks but it is dose dependent. Usually if one injects the upper lip the quantity used is very small so it might only last a few weeks. If in two weeks you are still dissatisfied with your results I would return tot he person who injected you to see if they can help the condition. Good luck to you

gaming pc help. naive in the world of pc gaming and need some expert advice. budget £1200.
Likes # 0
Posted June 3, 2013 at 9:37PM
Hello all. I'm a 16 year old boy about to make the jump from console gaming to pc gaming and have a budget of £1200. After reading a few forums and looking around I'm leaning towards the chillblast fusion firebird. http://www.chillblast.com/Chillblast-Fusion-Firebird.html I am open to any other suggestions.
As i said i am very naive in the world of buying a prebuilt gaming pc so i thought i would tell you a few of my worries.(sorry if they are stupid) First of all it gives me the option to choose from a range of processors with no extra price. Should i just go for the most powerful one,which is an i7 3770k overclocked to 4.6GHz, or will this have hidden consequences?
If anyone was wondering it is solely for gaming and i won't be using it for editing or much else. Also i would like to be able to play rome 2 total war maxed out. thanks in advance.

Not a bad setup but I think I would tweak it a little.
I would definitely change the case to something different perhaps the Corsair Carbide 300R Midi Tower Case which has better cooling.
Overclocking might shorten the lifespan of a CPU but as most of us change our PC's after 3-5 years we are never going to have a problem. As to whether overclocking benefits gaming that depends entirely on the game. I would just leave the CPU as it is but perhaps change the cooler to the Corsair Hydro Series H55 Liquid Cooler which in my opinion is the better cooler.
I see this PC comes with 16GB or RAM which is twice what you will ever need but as there is no way to reduce it to 8GB you are stuck with it. Will not do any harm just a waste of money.
I see that this PC comes with a small SSD (128GB0 which is ideal for your operating system and programs but it also comes with a 2TB harddrive as a secondary. I would prefer to see 2 x 1TB harddrives one for your documents, music, videos, ETC and the other for your games. If like me you have a lot of games on Steam then this is going to take a chunk of space.In my case 465GB which is a lot of used space.
I possibly would change the operating system to Windows 7 64BIt as Windows 8 still has it's problems.
As for the monitor I would definitely spend the extra on the Dell UltraSharp U2412M as they are incredible monitors. I have one and a 27 inch and they are the best monitors I have ever had.
Definitely swap the cordless keyboard and mouse to a wired version, gaming and wireless do not work well together.
I think that's about it.

Thanks for the excellent advice Chronos. Regarding the harddrive there is no way to get 2 x 1TB harddrive on this build is there?
I've made all the other changes you suggested and found myself £300 or so in the red. i really want to apply the changes you have suggested so i think i will save up for a couple more months and who knows something new/better might pop up. Thanks again.

Sorry my mistake I was looking at the non-VAT price the full price is £1319 which is already a £100+ over your budget.
These people are pretty decent to deal with so I would pone them up and tell them you do not need 16GB RAM,8GB will be plenty and then also ask if you can swap the single 2TB harddrive to 2 x 1TB harddrives.
As for the monitor the IIyama monitor this has decent reviews so if you decided on this one I do not think it will be a problem. But the Dell is the bees knees and an extra inch which is great for gaming. You have a powerful graphics card not much point in having a small monitor as that would be a waste of the GPU.
Any other questions do not hesitate to ask.

At first i made the same mistake at looking at the non-VAT price as well.
I'll give them a ring then.
Yea i've heard from lots of people a decent monitor is a must for gaming so i think i'll wait a little while and get the dell.
I do have one more question. After deciding to wait a little while i remember hearing that the haswell is due to release either june or july. After doing a little research it definitely seemed worth waiting for until i heard it has integrated graphics which looks poor compared to nvidia cards. I didn't fully understand but does this mean if I waited for haswell to release i wouldn't be able to combine it with a nvidia card?
I thought that haswell was going to be a major benefit to gaming but a few reviews said it wouldn't be able to cope with half of modern games with its integrated graphics, which i thought was odd.
I know its slightly off topic but if you could shed any light on this haswell business i would be very grateful.

Integrated graphics for the foreseeable future are never going to be able to compete with a dedicated graphics card. Most CPU's these days will do graphics, I for instance do not have a separate GPU in my HTPC that just has a Intel G840 CPU but that is plenty for showing videos ETC.
Haswell is actually out but it is quite expensive at the moment. I have been looking to upgrade myself and for motherboard and CPU I am looking at around £400 quid so that will give you some idea of the prices and in a pre-built you would pay more.
So unless you really want to wait and see what systems become available I would stick with what you have chosen. As you are going to phone Chillblast you could ask them when they intend doing Haswell builds and what sort of price they might go for?

Posted June 5, 2013 at 3:21PM
Yes good idea i'll ask them about Haswell builds as well.
Once i've phoned them and asked about the changes i reckon i'll still be over budget by at least £250 even if they change the 16GB to 8. So i'll have some time before i can afford it. Maybe some haswell builds will be unveiled in the meantime but for now i guess the ps3 will have to do. As long as i've ordered my pc by the time of rome 2's release date i'm happy, the game being delayed to 3rd september doesn't seem so bad afterall :P

This would be the only build near my budget. Do you think it's as good a build or better? After having a quick skim over the specks it certainly looks a lot better. My only worry is again the overclocked i5?

Hey, wow, this is all great stuff, keep up the good work and good luck with Guild Wars 2. Something I noticed though was that earlier, one of you posted a bunch of skill icons in high-resolution, something that we don't actually get in the game. I do some work at the official wiki (http://wiki.guildwars.com), and one of the main projects I'm involved in right now is completing our collection of high-resolution skill icons: the in-game ones are only 56x56 pixels, while most of ours are around 248x248, a big difference. I was wondering, if you have the time, if you might be able to post the complete collection of icons you've done? If some are missing, it's fine, but any help will be duly appreciated. If you don't have time, I understand.
P.S.: If possible, please us the .png, .bmp or similar lossless image compression formats. JPEG images use lossy image compression, which means the quality is significantly reduced.

Posted by Allison Linn
Mobile phones and devices have already crossed the line from convenience to necessity, and we will likely grow even more reliant on them in the future.
Microsoft researchers are working on a number of ways to make these gadgets both more useful and more fun.
They'll be presenting their latest research at MobiSys 2015, an annual conference on mobile systems, applications and services that is taking place this week in Florence, Italy.
Here's a snapshot of some of the research being presented.
Posted by George Thomas Jr.
The cloud is getting crowded.
As more and more devices connect to the Internet and more and more data flows to and from the cloud, the networking fabric once deemed sufficient to handle such traffic quickly is getting stretched.
To address such challenges, Microsoft researchers joined collaborators from multiple universities this week at the annual USENIX Symposium on Networked Systems Design and Implementation. Their goal: To recommend solutions that push the architectural boundaries of network services.
About 70 Microsoft researchers are traveling this week to ACM CHI 2015, the premiere conference on human-computer interaction, to present research results and tools that can do everything from create an interactive, 3D map of your neighborhood to simply deliver you better web search results.
Microsoft's researchers will be presenting papers, participating on panels, organizing the doctoral consortium and leading plenary sessions at this year's conference.
How is it you seem to be spending more and more time every day sifting through and prioritizing email messages? According to research by The Radicati Group, Inc., the legitimate emails you receive — already upwards of 100 per day — will only continue to increase. So how can you stem the tide of information overload without sacrificing more of your already precious time?
That's where probabilistic programming becomes relevant to Microsoft's efforts to enhance productivity. In what is believed to be the first large-scale commercial use of this innovative programming paradigm, a recently released feature in Office 365 called Clutter intelligently learns which emails matter most to you and sorts them accordingly, filtering those less-urgent emails into a Clutter folder and allowing users to focus on the most immediately important emails.
Kristin Lauter is solving a problem you may not even know you have: She's working to keep your most personal data private and secure.
We're not talking about your bank account balance or even your Social Security number. Lauter, a mathematician and cryptographer, is at the forefront of a push to make sure human genome data can be stored, accessed and used for research – without falling victim to prying eyes.

A little pricey for what is served up.Drinks are expensive for what you do not get.

El Nibble Nook is a very good restaurant to go to. The food is authentic Mexican food. We have been going to El Nibble Nook for 36 years. Now that we have moved, we don't there as often as we would like. It used to be located on Grand River west of Middlebelt Road until there was a fire. It was a little Mexican restaurant on Grand River with great food. Well, now it is a larger restaurant on Grand River and 8 Mile Rd. still with delicious food. I had to call there about 30 yrs. ago when I was trying to make botannnas and find an avacado. I didn't know what an avacado was so I purchased several green vegetables, but not the avacado. They told me what it was called and where I could find it. At that time Mexican food wasn't real popular. The food isn't hot unless you want it to be hot to taste. Some people think all Mexican food is hot and they are wrong. Excellent restaurnat with very good service and food.

Better menu than the downtown trio Xochimilco, El Zocalo & Mexican Village. If I were halfway between downtown and Livonia, I'd choose El Nibble Nook. If I were closer to downtown I'd choose MV

Xenophobic Hatred Grows with Latino Population in Georgia
In Georgia, where nearly 1 million Hispanic immigrants have arrived since 1990, xenophobic hatred and violence are on the rise
By Bob Moser
Nobody has talked more about the perils of immigration in Georgia than D.A. King. An ex-Marine from Marietta, a white-flight suburb just outside of Atlanta, King regularly contributes dispatches from "Georgiafornia" to the anti-immigration Web hate site, VDARE.com.
In the late 1990s, he worked with the Georgia Coalition for Immigration Reduction. Allied with the nation's largest anti-immigration group, the Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR), the coalition has organized protests and filled its Web site with facts and figures about the impact of immigration on Georgia taxpayers.
Last fall, King decided that wasn't cutting it. He took early retirement from his insurance agency to launch a far more ambitious effort: American Resistance, a national "coalition of immigration crime fighters."
"Immigration reform is a dead issue to me," says King. "I don't want to talk about cutting the numbers of legal immigrants. I want to put a stop to the crime of illegal immigration."
Three days after he announced American Resistance on VDARE and www.michnews.com, King says he'd already gotten 630 E-mails from folks interested in paying the $39 membership fee.
Almost a year later, he'll only say that he has "fewer than 5,000" paying members nationally and "fewer than 1,000 in Georgia." But King vows that he "won't stop until I have 1 million members" — hopefully in time for the 2006 elections — and offices with full-time staff in all 50 states.
"The NRA is an excellent business model," he says, referring to the powerful National Rifle Association, and his goal is to exert the same kind of influence on American politics.
Other than that, King is a bit vague about the kind of "resistance" he aims to spread. He urges members to report illegal immigrants to Bureau of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (BICE) offices when they see them — something King did in September 2003, after spotting a photograph of three illegal immigrants on the front page of the Marietta newspaper. King took their names and addresses to the bice agents in Atlanta. Two months later, he was furious to discover two of them still free on the streets of Marietta, walking "symbols of the anarchy that is destroying the American nation." His conclusion: "Adios, law — hola, anarchy."
This September, when a rally supporting driver's licenses for immigrants took place at the state capitol, King encouraged BICE agents to arrest those carrying signs, explaining to a local paper, "If I hold up a sign that says I want to rob banks legally, I think it's safe to say I'm a bank robber."
In the absence of la migra, King organizes counter-protests. About 50 American Resisters showed up to protest the driver's license rally. They carried signs like "Gringos for America" and chanted such slogans as "You Cannot Have My Country!" and "Enforce the Law!" — despite often being drowned out by what King described as "a crowd of 800-1500 screaming illegal aliens and their enablers."
Those "enablers" — groups like MALDEF and the National Council of La Raza — are the real bigots in this debate, King insists. "The racist forces that would take our country have made their intentions clear," he declares on the American Resistance Web site.
"The days of illegal aliens threatening and intimidating American citizens who show the courage to protest their national dispossession must, and will, end."
'I Want You to Suffer'
D.A. King's white-victimhood theme was memorably expressed after he protested the Freedom Ride for Immigrant Workers when it rolled through the Atlanta suburb of Doraville in the fall of 2003.
Seeing upwards of 2,000 Hispanics marching through the formerly homogenous little town, King wrote on VDARE, "I got the sense that I had left the country of my birth and been transported to some Mexican village, completely taken over by an angry, barely restrained mob. ... My first act on a safe return home was to take a shower."
Asked what percentage of Georgia citizens agree with his sentiments, King doesn't hesitate. "Probably 95," he says.
Certainly, he has some powerful political allies. Three North Georgia congressmen, Republicans Charlie Norwood, Nathan Deal and Phil Gingrey, belong to the controversial Congressional Immigration Reform Caucus, led by anti-immigration rabble-rouser Tom Tancredo, a Colorado congressman.
In the Georgia General Assembly, State Rep. Chip Rogers of Cherokee County has sponsored three anti-immigration bills, one of which would cut off all state services to illegal immigrants. "I don't think these folks are coming to America so they can make use of our social services, our schools and hospitals," Rogers says.
"They're coming for work. But we can't fail to recognize what it's doing to our health-care system, our prisons and our schools. One study showed that the state of Georgia spent $260 million to educate illegal immigrants last year."
Rogers acknowledges that "some people are beginning to target people for hatred," but he lays the blame largely on the immigrants themselves. "I truly believe that if it weren't for the high levels of illegal immigration, we wouldn't have the targeting, the prejudice, even if there were still high numbers of Hispanic people in Georgia.
"With so many people illegal, people tend to assume they are all illegal, and it becomes, 'Yeah, I couldn't get into the emergency room because of all those illegals there.' It feeds the prejudice."
Rogers admires King's efforts with American Resistance, which he believes produces "great research." But he keeps a distance, he says, because, "some of his associates are on the radical side."
Even though they're usually on opposite ends of legislative issues, Rogers wouldn't get any argument from Democratic state Sen. Sam Zamarripa about that.
"If American Resistance was really genuine about immigration reduction, they'd be protesting the big employers in America," says Zamarripa, one of the state's most outspoken proponents of immigrants' rights.
"The big companies are the ones who want cheap labor, and real enforcement of immigration laws would have to start with workplace enforcement. But they won't call for that, because that's not what their issue is. Their issue is ethnic. Their issue is that they don't want America to have any more color. They represent the worst of this anti-immigration theme that outsiders destroy America."
Zamarripa has paid a price for talking back to anti-immigration activists, and for sponsoring bills like the drivers' license proposal in the state Senate. "I'm watched and I'm tracked," says Zamarripa, who indeed is the subject of a "Zamarripa Watch" on American Border Patrol, an anti-immigrant hate site that often runs King's dispatches from Georgia.
American Border Patrol has called Zamarripa a "Mexican agent" and "Reconquista" (meaning that he's a part of the Mexican government's supposed plot to "reconquer" parts of the U.S.). Every time he's featured on VDARE or American Border Patrol, Zamarripa says, he starts getting E-mail messages — "love letters," he calls them — from anti-immigration zealots.
On the heels of King's "Zamarripa Watch" story about the drivers-license issue this summer, the senator received an e-mail message that particularly disturbed him. "My hope is that when the next terrorist act takes place in the United States ... your children will be the recipients of that terror. Yes, your children. I want you to suffer."
"These messages are directly correlated to the attention I get from American Resistance," says Zamarripa. "I think these people are operating just barely north of vigilante. They might not be traditional 'hate' groups, like the Klan, but that's part of the appeal. They provide a safe, so-called respectable haven for hatred and bigotry."

Apple case seen as possible spur to tax action
Even if additional tens of billions from Apple began flowing into the U.S. Treasury, the money would barely put a dent in the $642 billion federal budget deficit. But Apple as a symbol resonates with politicians, especially Democrats, seeking to make the case that a powerful corporation shouldn't be excused from its fair share of taxes. The public dissection of Apple hopefully will spur Congress to action to fix the tax code, McCain urged. The sentiment was widely shared among subcommittee members, in a bipartisan show. McCain and Sen. Carl Levin, D-Mich., the panel's chairman, are proposing legislation to do so.
At the same time, lawmakers must tread lightly as they attack Apple, a company held in high esteem and whose ubiquitous products are seen as both innovative and indispensable.
"I love Apple," declared panel member Sen. Claire McCaskill, D-Mo., during the hearing, confiding that she had "converted" her husband to the MacBook. And McCain took a break from grilling Cook on tax questions to ask him, "Why the hell do I have to keep updating the apps on my iPhone all the time?"
Senators on the panel say Apple's situation illustrates their belief that the U.S. tax system is in dire need of repair. The U.S. tax code contains provisions designed to force companies that sell their products overseas to pay U.S. taxes on the profits from those sales. But certain loopholes allow companies to legally bypass those provisions. Sen. Levin contends that Apple's use of such loopholes is unique among multinational corporations.
Apple uses five companies located in Ireland to carry out its tax strategy, according to the Congressional report. The companies are located at the same address in Cork, Ireland, and their boards of directors share members. While all five companies were incorporated in Ireland, only two of them also have tax residency in that country. That means the other three aren't legally required to pay taxes in Ireland because they aren't managed or controlled in that country, in Apple's view.
The report says Apple capitalizes on a difference between U.S. and Irish rules regarding tax residency. In Ireland, a company must be managed and controlled in the country to be a tax resident. Under U.S. law, a company is a tax resident of the country in which it was established. Therefore, the Apple companies aren't tax residents of Ireland or the U.S., since they weren't incorporated in the U.S., in Apple's view.
"Apple is exploiting an absurdity," Levin said. He also called Ireland a "tax haven," an appellation Irish Prime Minister Enda Kenny rejected when speaking in parliament in Dublin on Tuesday.
"We are not a tax haven. American investors quite understand that. Our (taxation system) is statutory-based and clear and transparent and effective right across the board," Kenny said. He also denied the assertion in the subcommittee's report that Apple had negotiated an Irish corporate tax rate of less than 2 percent. All companies pay the standard rate of 12.5 percent on profits from Irish operations, the prime minister said.

|Property type
|Minimum Stay
|7 - 14 nights
Quiet, romantic, tropical Kana'i A Nalu, at the north end of Ma'alaea Bay in South Maui, provides a unique setting for your Hawaiian vacation. Our privately owned two bedroom two bath beachfront 'home away from home' is a corner unit on the second floor of a 4 story building at water's edge. Our private lanai, 30 feet from the ocean, looks across white sand beach and ocean to neighboring Islands and 10,000 foot Haleakala. It provides the perfect winter viewing spot to watch, up close and personal, the mother hump back whales train their young for their long trip back to the Northern Pacific
Enjoy all the benefits of a corner unit on the second floor: the added security of not being at ground level, the privacy of having bedroom windows looking out on the beautiful courtyard, pool and ocean instead of sidewalk and parking lot and the absence of foot traffic past your private lanai.
All prices are in US Dollars.
The master bedroom has a comfortable king-size bed with a private bath and wall to wall windows with full view of beach, courtyard and pool. The second bedroom, with a view of the pool, courtyard and ocean, has twin beds that can be made up as a king. A second bathroom is across a small alcove. A queen-size sleeper couch in the living room can accommodate up to 2 additional guests. The tropical furnishing throughout and the well stocked full kitchen and generous supply of beach gear will make your vacation one of easy comfort. Our private lanai gives us much pleasure - reading, eating, whale watching or just plain relaxing to the sound of the gentle surf. Our Green Sea Turtles are seen 10 to 15 feet offshore and the reef just off our beach delights the snorkelers. The beach in front of our condo continues to the north end of Kihei as part of the Kealia Nature Preserve: this translates to no development, no traffic and no problems - just 4 miles of empty white sand beach.
There is WiFi in the condo.
A five to ten minute walk from our condo presents a wide variety of activities: snorkel and sunset cruises from the marina, a world class aquarium, miniature golf park and bumper boats, a small shopping area and many different restaurants. The eating choices range from the #1 rated restaurant on the Island through several other excellent, less pricey eateries to Carl's Jr and a Deli/convenience store.
We provide the best of both worlds on Maui. If you are running away from work, snow and cold, or responsibilities in general, our laid back remnant of 'Old Maui' will have you relaxed in no time. If you want activity and want to see the Island, you are 15 minutes from the airport, 20 minutes from the North Shore, Lahaina, Kihei and Wailea, and 5 miles or less from 4 golf courses. When you are overwhelmed with all the activities available on the Island, trade the traffic and heavily populated tourist areas for the quiet serenity of Ma'alaea; dig your toes into the white sand beach in front of your own private lanai and unwind to the sound of the surf and the trade winds blowing thru palm fronds.
We Welcome You to Our Paradise Found!
Keywords: Condominium, beachfront, sandy beach, oceanfront
We are Don, a retired airline pilot, who grew up in Chicago and Arizona: and Colleen, a retired interior designer, from Alberta and British Columbia, Canada.
Don Huntress W01149170-01 purchased this condo in 1998
It was love at first sight. We had stayed for several years up in Kaanapali back in the early '70s and found it too crowded, too congested - even then. Now it was 1998 and we were giving Maui another try, staying up the street, before the beach starts. We walked through the grounds at Kana'i A Nalu and we were hooked. Still feel the same 16 years later.
Relaxed Island living with a great view of the islands, beach and ocean. Love watching the whales come back every year - they are in so close we can watch the mothers teaching the babies. Enjoy the friendships developed over the years with the other owners and the many renters that return year after year.
This condo was awesome. My wife and her friend and I came for 10 days during March of 2014 from MN. Everything we could ask for! The beach was great. The Lanai tiles had been re-done. The only complaint I heard was the weather atop Haleakala was rainy/foggy. But no one can control that! They had just wrapped up burning the cane, but the condo was still very tidy!
This is the 2nd time we stayed at Don and Colleen's condo. This latest time was 8/5/07 through 8/21/07. They have a very nice condo, great for a family. I love the location and that is an end unit. Master looks over the beach and pool, 2nd looks over the pool. No issues with not wanting to leave a window open in the 2nd bedroom since a lot of the time the second bedrooms face a walkway. Lanai looks directly onto the beach (35 ft). No A/C, but it is not needed with the tradewinds that come through the valley and through Maalaea. Nice central location 20-25 minutes to Lahina, 10 minutes to central Kihei, 10 minutes to Kahalui. Like not being in the middle of a "city", sugarcane field behind complex. A little market within walking distance up the street for the emergency milk or small needs. I like the tile floor throughout the unit, so much easier to see that it is clean than carpet. We usually had breakfast at the condo, 75 / 25 on dinner, using the BBQ's out by the pool is very nice setting (they have gas a charcoal). Had no problems with anything, a non issue which is how it is supposed to work.
My husband and I travel twice a year and are always looking for something relaxing and near the beach. Well...this was the nicest condo we have ever stayed at. Our daughter and son-in-law and two year old grandbaby joined us and we all had the time of our lives. The pool was perfect for the little one and the beach was fantastic. We woke up every morning to a beautiful sunrise and often times saw whales while sitting there. I would highly recommend this property to anyone. The condo had everything you could think of and was decorated in a comfortable unique way. We will be back!
If you want a place to unwind and relax this is it. The location of the condo, just steps from the ocean, makes it ideal for spending more time doing what you like. I came with my husband, and our 2 sons, aged 16 and 20. All of us enjoyed it and would love to return. My favorite part was bobbing in the ocean right in front of the condo. It was not uncommon to be out there with just one or two others and sometimes completely alone. So relaxing! It was a very peaceful place to lounge and read. I enjoyed the ease of coming and going without all of us needing to move together as one unit and drive to the beach.
The decor of the condo is lovely. The tiled flooring is beautiful, area rugs are of high quality as well as furnishings. Listening to the waves at night in the super comfy king bed, trade winds blowing, made for the best rest. Heck, it made for great naps, too.
We did venture out to Lahaina, Kaanapali, Wailea, Kihei. Found good eats, played in the surf, went snorkeling ... yet, being at the condo was like coming home.
We stayed at Don & Colleen's condo from June 12 - June 24, 2014 This was our second time at Kanai A Nalu but our first time in this unit. Will jump at the chance to return to Maui and this unit for the following reasons:
1) Spacious unit and loved the tile floors
2) Amazing patio views of the bay and morning sunrise
3) Steps from Sugar Beach-walkers and joggers can stay on Sugar Beach all the way to Kihei (about 6 miles round trip to the pier across from Ululani's)
4) Communal gas and charcoal grills- fun to grill with other guests and meet other vacationers
5) Room had beach towels, chairs, coolers, umbrella, and boogie boards
6) Wonderful breeze flows thru the unit keeping things cool and comfortable day and night
7) Very quiet Bosch dishwasher
8) Climate appropriate furnishings
9) Immaculate grounds and pool with plenty of lounge chairs
10) Centrally located to Kihei, Lahaina, & Wailea
11) Sound of lapping waves and swaying palms lull you to sleep nightly
12) Quiet end unit (during our stay we had no one above or below us)
We look forward to returning to Maui and this unit very soon. Highly recommended!
This was a great condo to stay at for many reasons:
1- centrally located (we could travel 20 minutes either direction and be at great beaches).
2- it is quiet and you are literally steps away from the beach.
3- great area to barbecue, walk on the beach or dip in the pool. It is a small pool, but it does the trick).
4- the condo itself was clean and had everything we needed for a 10 day trip. We even used the boogie boards!
5- the oven needs to be fixed. The temperature would not heat up passed 300 degrees making it nearly impossible to cook in.
6. every morning we saw a whale and in the evening turtles were everywhere. We would stand on the shore and watch them swim the waves. Very cool!
We were able to spend a wonderful Christmas vacation at this spacious Maui condo! The condo was very comfortable and had everything we needed for a perfect trip. They even provided beach gear (beach chairs, cooler, boogie boards, etc.) which was much appreciated. We spent most of the time on the lanai and enjoyed the most amazing views!! We loved watching the sunrise over Haleakala each morning and we were lucky to see whales and turtles! The condo is situated steps from the beach on a very beautiful bay. We rented a stand-up paddle board and were able to learn how to use it at the beach right in front of the condo. We enjoyed staying in Maalaea and being central to all areas of the island. We took many day trips which included hiking Waihee ridge and Pipiwai trails, Snorkel trip with the Pacific Whale foundation, Road to Hana and snorkeling the many beautiful South beaches and nature reserves. It was so nice to have a great condo to come back to after a day of adventure. We also enjoyed the pool, grills and beautiful landscaping of the resort. Thank you Don and Colleen for sharing your piece of paradise. We hope to come back again!

Celebs Who Rock the Black!
Forget what you've been hearing about honeysuckle and orange being the "It" colors of the moment. This week, Hollywood was all about classic black and white, with fashion's boldest trendsetters re-imagining the menswear trend in a variety of ways. The latest iterations of the look range from the risqué to the buttoned-up, but always include stylishly sexy details. We applaud Hollywood's affirmation that behind every menswear-inspired look is a strong woman, and know how a bold, simple black ensemble says to anyone at work or play, "Look at my face."
While some celebs, such as Cate Blanchett and the brave-as-ever Camilla Belle, opted for menswear in this winter weather, stars like Kourtney Kardashian and Reese Witherspoon went for a more feminine, yet equally smart look in skirts. Check out this week's best in black, then sift through your closet for your own best.

After removing tile wall
After removing tile from bathroom walls, how do I either eliminate the glue from behind, or smooth it as much as possible? Or what are my options to cover it up?
the easiest way is to remove and replace the drywall. if you plan to retile it make it go much smoother and you will end up with a better job in the end. if its around a tub or shower you need to install some type of concrete backer board and waterproof it before you tile.
