At the end of last week, the North American Securities Administrators Association (NASAA) submitted another comment letter on Reg A+, which now (given the SEC open meeting notice) seems particularly well timed.

NASAA notes that the coordinated review program could be adopted fairly quickly following the SEC's actions on Reg A+.

LENOIR, N.C. -- A school employee in Caldwell County is accused of embezzling tens of thousands of dollars from the district.
The Caldwell County Sheriff's Office launched an investigation into Emily Hawkins, the lead secretary at Collettsville School, in late March after receiving information about questionable purchases.
Officials say the exact amount taken by Hawkins is still being determined, but so far authorities estimate Hawkins embezzled more than $40,000 from the school.
Hawkins is charged with 10 counts of embezzlement by a public officer or trustee. Her bonds total $100,000.
Hawkins was immediately terminated from employment.

MANILA, Philippines, May 25 /PRNewswire/ — Teradata Corporation (NYSE: TDC), the world's largest company solely focused on data warehousing and enterprise analytics, announced today that Smart Communications, Inc., the number one wireless operator in The Philippines, has selected the Teradata Data Warehouse Appliance as an operational data store (ODS) to consolidate high volume of information and provide analytics capability that will address operational questions without any performance degradation.
(Logo: http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20090909/TERADATALOGO )
"Our solution will help Smart to better understand network usage and customer behaviour. That information will allow Smart to develop or improve services and offerings that are better suited to meet the subscribers' needs and wants," said Noel Pettitt, vice president for South Asia, Teradata Corporation.
Smart needed scalability and performance to load large volumes of data coming from different sources and process these into relevant business and operational information in near real-time. After a series of evaluations, Smart was convinced that the Teradata Data Warehouse Appliance is best suited for their needs.
"The new systems and solutions, which were operational in less than two months, allowed Smart to consolidate and simplify its prior implementation involving two separate ODS platforms into a single ODS. This resulted to a lower total cost of ownership for Smart as there was no need to support two different platforms," said Lyndon Lacanienta, country manager for Teradata in The Philippines.

On the outside, he is a man dressed in an eccentric and elaborate costume, which took six months to construct, displaying his affinity for the Froglok character in the video game, EverQuest. Jumping into swimming pools, hopping around the stage at the Sony Online Entertainment Fan Faire convention in Las Vegas, NV, one might mistake him for an actual Froglok—he certainly seems to act the part. But who really is this man–this person who has appeared on several episodes of the Jace Hall show, recently making his biggest splash when he proposed to his completely unaware, and subsequently shocked, girlfriend on stage in front of two-thousand observers (she said yes). You can call him Phil, one because that's his name, and two, because it's shorter than his official title when he's dressed in full, Froglok attire: Snickers, The Shadow Knight Froglok.
"I'm a Froglok, we're impulsive!"
How impulsive, you ask? You have no idea…
Phillip Simmons is a retired RV and Mobile Home repairman, who also was the proud owner of a Slot Car Racetrack. Needless to say, he is also an avid player of the Massively Multiplayer Online Role Playing (MMORPG) game, EverQuest. He and his wife Mary were married for fifteen years before they separated and divorced. After the divorce, Phil began playing the game even more, using it to cope with the struggle of the divorce, not being able to work and having to collect disability. It so happens that the game not only gave Phil, or Snickers, something to escape into, but it also gave him the chance to connect with other people. Little did Phil know who he was going to connect with and who was also escaping into the same world…
After a fifteen-year marriage that ended when "things started to go bad" Phil decided to jump back into the waters and propose to his girlfriend at the SOE convention, seen on the
past episode of the Jace Hall Show. Who is the new girl that has Snickers down on one knee declaring his eternal and undying love? It turns out she's not new at all, in fact, both have been here before (well, not in front of thousands of people). Phil isn't simply proposing to his girlfriend; he's marrying the same women, Mary, he was divorced to for three years, his previous wife of fifteen years.
If you think that's complicated, wait until you hear what caused them to get back together. How did the two fall back in love after agreeing to divorce? Did a friend convince the couple to get back together? The answer comes in the form of the MMORPG EverQuest. A game that allowed both people to escape the world they were living in, yet miraculously brought them back together after being divorced for three years.
Phil explains how it initially transpired:
One day I was in game …I'm out in Felwithe, killing things, just killing time, and here comes a character running by me, and it looked like her character… So I hollered out, who was here…I sent here a tell, saying, 'is this Mary?' She said, 'yea who is this?' I had to kind of play 20 questions to make sure I didn't have some weirdo on there. I said this is Snickers, you know Philip! And she went Oh My God! We went off, where people wouldn't have to worry about trying to train us or where we'd be getting killed and we just sat there and talked for about 2 hours, just catching up on things. We hadn't talked to each other in almost 3 years…
On the surface, it could have just been a random coincidence that the two people would run into each other playing a video game that's "just for fun" and not have meant anything in the long haul. That, of course is just on the surface. What made the EverQuest experience different, and how could it bring them back together?
We started opening up a whole new means of communication between ourselves, it was just great. We just kind of clicked together, again. Our problem was communicating before, but the game opened that up for us, it was like a catalyst. We just sat down and talked in game. (We were) able to go to areas that were beautiful, with beautiful backgrounds that were very tranquil, and you could sit down and relax, and not worry what was going to happen next…
The game was also quite the "coping mechanism" when things got frustrating:
There were the other areas where if you wanted to let your frustrations out…I'd say, you know what, let's go to Karnor's Castle and just wipe it out, and raid it, you and me. It's like a level 20 zone and at that time we were both level 60's so there was nothing that was going to hurt us…we spent like 5 hours going through there and just wiped it all out, and I said to her, now you feel better? And she tells me, oh God yes!"
But Phil is self admittedly, the "Impulsive Froglok." Would he let his emotions take control of him? Not quite, the transformation of their relationship wasn't exactly overnight and even the moments leading up to Phil's proposal at the Sony Convention had plenty of suspense for Phil:
I was a wreck, I couldn't even hardly talk, I wasn't still quite sure if she was going to say yes or no, I was hoping real bad, but I had a knot in my stomach the size of a globe. I couldn't even talk for about 2 or 3 minutes after that. And then Brasse tells me that they were giving us all the Sony games free for life. I was speechless, I didn't know what to say.
As if free video games for life wouldn't do the trick:
(Sony) took care of our Fan Faire passes…and worked with me about 3 months in advance so I could (propose). The show actually sold out, I was ready to purchase my ticket but it was sold out. But they said this Fan Faire is on us, we want to help you guys out.
The "Impulsive Froglok" is seemingly now the "Luckiest Froglok on Earth," or Norrath, for that matter. A man that was divorced just three years ago, after a fifteen-year marriage, just got his girl back and he did it uniting with her through a video game. The two now have plenty of video games to last a lifetime and to fall in love with each other again and again. Heck, the costume, the pool jumping and the running around on stage, it all makes sense now. But, still some things in life you just can't explain, the power of video games would certainly seam to be one of them. Some say they're pointless and a waste of time, some people, like Snickers, say they're the main thing that can bring them closer to the people they love. Impulsive? Well, that all depends on what your definition is.

South Knox High School
|This article needs additional citations for verification. (March 2008)
South Knox Middle-High School is a combination middle school and high school located southeast of Vincennes in an unincorporated community called Verne. Formed from the merger of local high schools in Monroe City, Fritchton, Wheatland, and Decker (which had earlier incorporated Decker Chapel High School), the school's district encompasses most of southern Knox County. Its athletic nickname is the Spartans, and it participates in the Blue Chip Conference. Its colors are red, white, and blue. The school song is "Hail South Knox High."
The dedication of the gymnasium was held in November 1967, with IHSAA Commissioner Phil N. Eskew presiding. The Spartans won the first boys' basketball game played there, defeating North Posey. The first South Knox boys' basketball coach was Sam Alford, father of Steve Alford. In 1968, South Knox became a charter member of the Blue Chip Conference and has remained a member ever since. In 1985, the high school and middle school were organized as two separate schools. In 2013, the boys cross country team was the first team in any sport to appear in the IHSAA State Championship.

Human rights activist Boniface Mwangi was yesterday assaulted by a policeman and locked up at Wilson Airport. He was later charged with disorderly conduct while the driver of a van in which he was traveling was charged with obstruction.
Mwangi was dragged into the cells after he questioned why the driver's driving license had been confiscated without an explanation. He told reporters he was being driven into the airport, but the car was stopped.
" We had parked the van by the roadside to make an inquiry but a police officer walked to the car and asked for the driving license. When the driver gave him the document, the officer just walked away without telling us anything. It is then that i got out of the car while carrying my son to ask him why he was walking away with the Driving License. It is then that he grabbed me and together with someone else in civilian clothes they dragged me into a the police station and chained me onto a metal box. The officer tried to strangle me and injured me on the neck. My wife came and took my son away but i have recorded a statement and the driver is doing so too," Mwangi said from the police station.
The Officer Commanding Wilson Police Station confirmed that they had detained Mwangi but said he would be released.

VicRoads or the Roads Corporation of Victoria is a statutory corporation which is the state road and traffic authority in the state of Victoria, Australia. It is responsible for maintenance and construction of the state arterial road network, as well as driver licensing and vehicle registration. VicRoads has broad responsibility for road safety policy and research. It is also responsible for regulating the accident towing industry in Victoria.
The main VicRoads administration facility is located in the Melbourne suburb of Kew, on the site of the former Kew Railway Station, with other Melbourne offices in Hawthorn, Burwood, Sunshine and Camberwell. Regional offices are located in Geelong, Traralgon, Benalla, Bendigo and Ballarat, among others. In addition Vicroads operates many offices servicing the public in registration and licensing throughout metropolitan Melbourne and regional Victoria.[2]
In April 2014 the Liberal/National government committed to moving the VicRoads HQ to Ballarat if re-elected in November 2014.[3]
VicRoads was formed in 1989 when the former Road Traffic Authority and Road Construction Authority were merged to form the Roads Corporation. They had previously been part of the Country Roads Board. The name VicRoads is a trading name.[4]
VicRoads previously derived authority from Part III of the former Transport Act 1983. The Corporation has since been re-established from 1 July 2010 due to the commencement of the Transport Integration Act.[5]
The Transport Integration Act establishes a framework for an integrated and sustainable transport system in Victoria and empowers the key Victorian Government agencies with responsibility for the State's land and water transport system. The Act provides that VicRoads' primary object is to provide, operate and maintain the road system consistent with the vision statement in the Act and objectives which emphasise transport integration and sustainability. The statute also requires VicRoads to "...manage the road system in a manner which supports a sustainable Victoria by seeking to increase the share of public transport, walking and cycling trips as a proportion of all transport trips in Victoria..."[6]
John Merritt was announced as the new CEO to start in May 2014. John was previously CEO of the Envirnoment Protection Authority (EPA).

Crochet had to come into style, since it has somehow become the trendiest pastime for bored-looking, subway-riding hipsters everywhere. What are they supposed to do with all their creations? If you're not that crafty, have no fear. This stuff is everywhere, especially for light layers on summer evenings. Ella Moss has breezy crocheted shrugs for $95 at Alikat, BCBG has a crocheted one-piece bathing suit for $138, and crochet designer Waejong Kim sells every garment imaginable at her store, Loopy Mango.
Fashion maven and vintage collector Morgan Yakus has been selling lots of dresses and tops with eyelet details and hippyish punch-outs. She describes the look as "that magical 1970s moment when Country meets Victorian." Vintage finds are the best in this department, but J.Crew has a version, too: a tank dress for $168, in white or pink.
Lastly, if the Olsen Twins have taught us anything at all, it's that layers of demure lace can somehow seem bad-ass. Calypso's lace skirts and jacket are laid over solid cotton. Anthropologie has perfected the camisole-inspired top, trimmed with lace, but still casual. And similar looks can always be found at Urban Outfitters for much less.
So be sure to mind your negative spacethe art of holes in your clothesthis summer, whether you end up in a lacy Mexican wedding dress, a gauzy poncho your mom passed down from the '70s, or a lady-like white blouse with eyelets all over.

Curious about the newer model? Check out the 2015 Mazda CX-9
By KBB.com Editors
KBB Expert Rating: 7.0
The 2013 Mazda CX-9 bucks that old adage about not having your cake and eating it, too. In the case of Mazda's biggest vehicle, the CX-9 offers the roominess of a large SUV, yet boasts the driving dynamics of a smaller sport sedan. This 3-row, 7-passenger vehicle also bucks the status quo with its exterior styling. Instead of the chunky looks of rivals such as the Ford Explorer and Honda Pilot, the Mazda is rounded and sleek with a stance that says, "Let's drive." It doesn't take long of doing just that to realize this big vehicle feels much smaller on the road. The CX-9 won't conquer boulder-strewn trails or tow massive loads, but as far as people movers go, it's hard to find one in its $30,000 price range that's more invigorating to drive.
If you need a vehicle that can haul a family, but your heart still yearns for a car that's fun to drive, the Mazda CX-9 will give you the best of both worlds.
If you regularly need to carry adults in the 3rd-row seats, the larger Chevrolet Traverse offers more room. If you require an SUV that can tow more than 3,500 pounds, check out the Nissan Pathfinder, Honda Pilot, Chevy Traverse, or Ford Explorer.
For 2013, the CX-9 receives a freshened exterior with a new design front and rear. Inside, a 5.8-inch color touchscreen is standard, as is a new infotainment system with HD Radio, Pandora Internet radio connectivity, text-to-speech capability, and a new microphone for better speech recognition. Blind-spot monitoring and a rear-view camera now come to the mid-level Touring models.
Driving Impressions Most people don't expect spirited acceleration or much corner-carving ability from a large SUV. Nor should they. These vehicles are designed for hauling people, not necessarily derriere. The CX-9 is...a welcome exception. Stomp on the right pedal and you'll be pleasantly surprised at just how quickly the Mazda's 273-horsepower V6 gets this big vehicle up to speed on the freeway. And the CX-9 isn't just good in a straight line. True to that "zoom-zoom" marketing slogan, even Mazda's largest vehicle tackles corners with confidence. The CX-9 is also comfortable. Around town or on the highway, the 2013 CX-9 is relatively quiet, comfortable and easy to drive. Like other SUVs – 3-row ones especially – visibility to the rear left and rear right is hampered. Here the standard blind-spot monitoring system on Touring and Grand Touring models really helps. We are also impressed with the plush driver's seat and easy-to-reach controls.
New for 2013, all Mazda CX-9 models receive a color touchscreen display in the center dash that adds sophistication and features. In addition to offering navigation functionality, the system relays messages from smartphones and has a built-in HD Radio tuner, which offers high-quality, subscription-free AM/FM broadcasts.
In addition to folding in a 60/40 split, the 2nd-row bench seat in the CX-9 slides, reclines, and offers easy access to the 3rd-row via a 1-handed release. This all makes for better overall passenger comfort and great cargo flexibility.
The 2013 Mazda CX-9 has a sleek, modern interior. In upper-end models, its cabin borders on luxury-car plush. If swaths of black material are not your cup of tea, leather-trimmed sand-hued upholstery is available for this model year in Touring and Grand Touring models (base Sport trims are stuck with black cloth). The new 5.8-inch color touchscreen in the middle of the dash also helps make the CX-9 feel like a more up-level vehicle. The front seats are plush, but the 3rd-row might be a tight squeeze for adults.
The CX-9 stands out among larger SUVs with a sleek style that looks more sport wagon than traditional SUV. Updates for 2013 keep Mazda's biggest hauler looking fresh. The grille has been revamped to appear more cohesive. Gone is the 2-tiered look of a narrow honeycomb grille above what some equated to a huge "grin," replaced for 2013 with a more contemporary 1-piece housing with flowing horizontal lines. The headlights are now more sweeping, while the taillights are bolder in red and the twin exhaust outlets appear smaller and round versus the larger, elongated shape of previous models.
The 2013 CX-9 comes in three trims: Sport, Touring and Grand Touring. Base Sport models come well-equipped with tri-zone automatic climate control, a 5.8-inch touchscreen infotainment system with AM/FM/CD/ HD radio with auxiliary and USB inputs and six speakers, cruise control, remote keyless entry, and 18-inch wheels. Touring models add a blind-spot monitor and rearview camera with rear backup sensors, leather upholstery, and heated, power front seats. Top-line Grand Touring models ladle on even more, including automatic bi-xenon headlights, a power tailgate, rain-sensing wipers, an auto-dimming rearview mirror, driver's memory seat, and 20-inch wheels. Safety features on all 2013 CX-9 models include six airbags, anti-lock brakes, stability control, traction control, and a roll-stability control system.
All CX-9 models can be had with Mazda's Torque Split All-Wheel-Drive system instead of the standard front-wheel drive. Most other major options are bundled into packages and include a navigation system, power moonroof, and a 10-speaker Bose premium audio system. Grand Touring models can be had with a rear-seat entertainment system that includes a DVD player and 9-inch screen.
The sole engine on the 2013 Mazda CX-9 is a sophisticated 3.7-liter V6 that puts out 273 horsepower and 270 lb-ft of torque, ample muscle to move this vehicle. All CX-9 models use an automatic transmission, in this case a smooth-shifting 6-speed version with manual-shift mode. CX-9s come standard with front-wheel drive. All-wheel drive is available and is a smart option if you regularly drive in inclement weather, especially snow. While this vehicle does not have class-leading fuel economy, the CX-9 is rated up to 24 mpg and drinks regular unleaded gasoline. Maximum towing capacity is on the lighter end at 3,500 pounds.
3.7-liter V6
273 horsepower @ 6,250 rpm
270 lb-ft of torque @ 4,250 rpm
EPA city/highway fuel economy: 17/24 mpg (FWD), 16/22 mpg (AWD)

"It took me awhile to settle on what car I wanted and when I finally settled on a Mazda CX9 I was all in. How smart of me! This is a great car inside and out. I have always driven sporty cars and with four children I wanted something practical but still made me feel young (honestly speaking here). It is fun to drive, handles extremely well in all weather conditions and feels like you are driving in a luxury car. The driving comfort is top notch. When my present car comes to the end of its life somewhere down the road I will undoubtedly buy another one. Just a great car!"

Should launch games really factor in which console to buy?
- Back To:
- Board List
- Topic List
- Topic Archived
Both consoles will get tons of games over time. Seems silly to ignore console qualities because of a starting library. Even more so since neither has a particularly poor launch library, mainly due to multiplats, of course. I'd make my bets on console qualities that aren't as subjective or that will remain important beyond a year into each console's life.
And no, not "butthurt" over one console having a stronger launch library than the other. Mainly because I'm getting both and I barely have preference over both game selections anyways.
Let me lay out some facts because that's what I do best yo
If you're gonna buy both consoles, then launch library absolutely matters since that's what you'll be playing right away
If you're gonna buy only one console, then it doesn't matter at all. You have to look at what you want to play in the next half a decade and not just the first 3 months
/drops mic
an actuall gamer wouldnt buy based on launch games. but alot of kids have the "now now me me" mentality and cant look beyond the few games that will last a month tops. totally ignoring the fact a console purchase is for years down the road.
PSN-WartPigX, XBL-WartPig
"people talking without speaking, people hearing without listening"
nope. I'd say that the XB1 and PS4 aren't even worth buying for the major public since most of the games people want are built for 360 and PS3.
PC + Nintendo
Winning combination in the late 80s, winning combination in the 90s, winning combination today.
Yes launch games matter. XBO came out strong with their launch catalog. Can't say the same for PS4.
I dying for a new console right now so I gotta have it now. Its been like 8 years since 360 came out. Why wait any longer when I can get it now.
"You all say you want to be human, but why would you want to become something so flawed" - Edward Elric - FullMetal Alchemist
No it shouldn't. Unless your a child that just has to have the bestest new gaming thing so you can brag to your school mates.
I'll usually wait a year or so. By then the library will be large enough to make an educated decision.
Nether are backwards comparable so that negates the rush to get the new while still playing the old. The U gets a pass however.
Yes if you're getting it at release
No if you're not getting it at release.

Let me lay out some facts because that's what I do best yo
Yup. I can agree with that for the most part. Although there is some room in between for people who know there are more multi-player games they want on one console ... and more single-player games they want on another. So they might look at multi-player launch games with a fleeting thought that one day maybe they'll catch up on the other console years later after numerous price-drops. Or maybe not.
Not particularly. Most of the game are on both consoles, and a large number of them are on the current consoles. If you are graphics ***** and you must play a certain exclusive... sure thing. But if you're abit less shallow you should choose the console that;
A: is the better machine.
B: you believe will have better games.
Lucky for me thats the same console.

An actual gamer wouldn't limit himself on a single console.

In Adriel Roque's five years of managing the Universal Supermarket in Bonita Springs, he's had people steal from him before.
"I've seen people put packages of beer and single cans in their pockets and I've seen people try to hide trays of meat," he said.
But he's never had someone try to make off with items priced at less than a dollar each.
"Picked up three burritos actually placed them in his pockets and tried to walk out," he described.
The man was 63-year-old William Ross. And the three burritos deputies say he stuffed in his pockets added up to a whopping $2.37.
"I was shocked by the fact that he was willing to risk his freedom for three burritos," Roque said.
But this wasn't Ross' first time trying to cheat the store. He's been caught two times before stealing meat and fruit, which is why this time Roque called the cops.

Click it: Remember to check computer for malware
Another observed: "Yet another ploy to get everyone freaked out ... remember Y2K."
There is an underlying sense that this will be much ado about nothing, such as the approach of 2000. The transition to that year presented technical problems and fears that some computers would stop working because they were not set up for the date change. In the end there were very few problems.
Considering there are millions of Internet users across the country, several thousand isn't a big deal, unless you're one of them.
Rep. Jim Langevin, D-R.I., and co-founder of Congress' cybersecurity caucus, said computer users have a responsibility to practice good sense and make sure their computers are not infected or being hijacked by criminals.
"These types of issues are only going to increase as our society relies more and more on the Internet, so it is a reminder that everyone can do their part," he said.
FBI officials have been tracking the number of computers they believe still may be infected by the malware. As of Wednesday, there were about 45,600 in the U.S. - nearly 20,000 less than a week ago. Worldwide, the total is roughly 250,000 infected. The numbers have declined steadily, and recent efforts by Internet service providers may limit the problems on Monday.
By Monday, if your computer isn't functioning properly, customer support lines could be your best solution.

Justice G.S. Singhvi, heading a vacation Bench told counsel for the petitioner, Babu Lal Marandi, MP, that since there was no urgency in the matter it would come up for hearing in the normal course. Justice C.K. Prasad was the other judge on the Bench.
Mr. Marandi alleged that Mr. Soren had committed a fraud on the Constitution by repeatedly availing himself of the benefit of Article 164 (4) to become Chief Minister, but without getting elected to the legislature.
In the latest instance, he was sworn in as Chief Minister on December 30, 2009, and he could continue in the post only if he was elected to the Assembly within six months. But, owing to paucity of time, there was little chance of the Election Commission completing the poll process in the remaining 43 days of the six-month time available. Further, there was no vacancy in the legislature, the petition said.

Do not buy this! I thought it would help my nails last longer but it ended up just destroying all my hard work. I waited over 24 hours to put on the top coat after I painted my nails, and it still messed everything up. Literally it moves around the nail polish around on my nails, it makes me nails rough and not smooth too. Also it didn't help my nail polish stay on at all, the nail chipping on my right hand was horrible! As people have mentioned before me the topcoat would cause little bubbles on my nails. Just don't even try this.

THE WORST!!! It bubbles no matter how long you wait to apply it over polish, including overnight drying time, loses its' luster within hours due to who knows what, takes FOREVER to dry as in even a day later it is possible to still ding it up if you manage to bump just the wrong thing, smudges darker polish colors with drag marks....would never buy it again nor recommend to a friend.

I'm not surprised to see these bad reviews... I hate this top coat BUT for a different reason. Am I the only one who finds that this top coat makes my actual nail polish bleed and stain the brush?? I used a Revlon polish and an Essie polish, and both times (after a whole day of drying) the top coat would pick up the color onto the brush! So annoying! I'm very disappointed and upset... I much prefer my Sally Hansen Hard as Nails Clear Violet top coat.

I love OPI polishes, so I thought I'd give the top coat a try. I don't really like it. Although it does makes my nails glossy, it takes a really long time to dry! If you're willing to wait awhile for your nails to dry, then this top coat is okay. If you're impatient like me, then I don't think you should get this. For now, I'm just going to stick to my SV top coat.

Best ever!!! This was in a present and it works much better than all the top coats i have used. It can stay on for over a week, and is super hard (no chip). I really recommend this top coat. OPI is the best!!!!

Never completely dries which is really frustrating. I'll see marks and dents in the polish within hours of applying it. Wouldn't say it's as thick and gunky as other reviewers are making it out to be, but it definitely does not go on smoothly and consistently. Not that shiny, which is something I need in a top coat, and almost always leaves small bubbles. The only good thing I can say about it is that it doesn't peel or chip too quickly and will make your manicure last longer.
If you're good at doing nails and applying polish like me, you can somehow get around its problems and make it work, but no matter how skilled you are you can't change the fact that it never completely dries! For that reason alone you'll never get a great finish with this top coat and I would not recommend it.

In a word: arrrgh!! The consistency is too thick and gluey, and it starts to dry and gum up as you're trying to put it on. Of course, ironically, after you've finished, then it WON'T dry. Unless you're a fan of the sheet mark look, I don't recommend it. I'm a big fan of OPI, so this was a major let-down, especially considering the price.

I don't know why this top coat is not getting very good reviews. I absolutely love it. It gives my nail nice seal and dries extremely fast. Will definitely buy again,

Such a source of frustration for me. I thought OPI would have an out-of-this-world quality top coat but it is like trying to paint on old honey. The consistency is really thick which slows down the drying process and it almost ALWAYS leaves bubbles which annoys me to no end. I've tried so many different techniques to avoid the bubbles but it can't be avoided. The finish isn't as shiny as most top coats should be either. Not worth the money.

As first-year students get acclimated to medical school, there are many opportunities for them to learn about different fields within medicine. Each year, the Surgery Interest Group (SIG) hosts its Festival of Surgery, which introduces medical students to disciplines within surgery, presented by surgeons representing various specialties.
Approximately 75 first-and second-year students attended this year's event, where eight surgeons from Einstein's University Hospital, Montefiore Medical Center, who also are faculty members at Einstein, provided details about their respective surgical disciplines—including transplant, vascular, neurological, cardiothoracic, orthopedic, plastic, pediatric and general surgery. Students then were able to network with these professionals to seek more specific information and learn about opportunities to view surgeries and/or shadow physicians.
SIG is headed by Einstein medical students who are interested in pursuing surgical careers and whose goal is to educate other potentially interested students by offering opportunities to learn more about the field through lectures and interactive workshops with leading surgeons. To learn more about SIG, visit the group's website.

Today was a typical Monday. Didn't feel like getting up and running but once I got started and finished I felt a lot better. Today I ran about 4 miles through the neighborhood. Tomorrow I have a meeting for my first half-marathon that I run in February. So I'm looking forward to that. Hope everyone had a great Monday.
Today I ran about 3.5 miles and did agility work in my driveway. I weighed myself today, and I am now 143. As of today I have officially lost 30 pounds. So I'm getting closer to my goal weight. Overall, I feel better than I did about 6 months, and I'm also healthier. I'm interested in running my first half-marathon so if you have any advice please feel free to let me know.
This is a blog of my daily workouts and mood for the day. I'm up to any tips or advice so please feel free to offer anything that you think will help me or others. I hope to motivate others while at the same time learning from others.

Sorry Film, been out a bit,
I do not know anything about that site. Yachtworld is a good choice, r just start going to your Catalina dealers and buy directly from them. If you get a list of the dealers and just start calling, I bet you can find a great deal. Lots of boat shows going on and these dealers typicalls do not like holding on to their trade-in boats for long at all. Most people buy a 250 not to trailer but because it is a good entry-level boat and will trade it up. Thus, you may be able to find some great deals. Since you are going to tow it anyways, I would just start scowering the countryside to find the best deal. Find one close to home, all the better.
There is the Catalina web site. Take a gander at the pictures. Any specific questions, write back or PM me.
Fair winds and good hunting...
PS When I say call the dealers, I mean for a used 250... not for a new one. New one is in the 30s.

Wiz Khalifa - Mary x 3
Artist: Wiz Khalifa
Producer: Cardo On The Beat
Album: Taylor Allderdice
Avg Rating: 3.1 ( 23 votes )
There are only three things Wiz Khalifa needs to be content in life - and if you haven't guessed, all three of them are weed. The latest single off his forthcoming street album, Mary x 3 finds the rap hitmaker pledging allegiance to his drug of choice. Cardo On The Beat mans the boards, layering ebbing and flowing synths and submerged vocal samples over a head-nodic percussion rhythm as the Steel City rhymesayer revisits his number-one favorite topic. After all this time rhyming about kush, Wiz still finds some new ground to cover; most notably, he makes some provocative statements about his smoking preferences ("Never smokin' that bullsh*t with them f*cked-up names and them flavors.") and calls out his peers for jumping on his blunted bandwagon ("I remember puttin' weed in my videos, n*ggas thought I was insane / Now every time I turn on a video I see the exact same thing."). Feeling Wiz Khalifa's latest love letter to THC? More smokers' anthems await on his highly-anticipated Taylor Allderdice tape, set to hit the 'net at a yet-unspecified date in the near future.

The hole truth: Daytona facing more track problems
Daytona 500 winner Jamie McMurray also didn't appear concerned. He even defended the track, saying there's little that could have been done to prevent more problems.
"You can beat up on the racetrack, but if they could have repaved this between the 500 and now, they would have," McMurray said. "They've patched it and you hope that it's fixed. If there's a problem, they're going to have to address that, and it's out of our hands. ... They've had four or five months to fix it; I don't sense they're going to fix it in 24 hours if the first patch didn't work."
Braig said inspections will take place after every on-track session, with workers focused on the recently repaired sections.
"That has our full attention," he said, adding that no pieces of track had come loose. "That whole area has our full attention because of the dips that are there. We've got everything from cameras focused on it to all my staff, the safety crews, the teams (checking).
"Whenever there's a caution, whether it's for an incident or a delay because of weather, we'll be out there checking it and double-checking it."
NASCAR chairman Brian France said he was hopeful the repairs would hold up.
"I've got a high degree of confidence that the track here at Daytona is very prepared for what might happen under virtually every scenario," France said. "They had an issue. They were right on it. So I have a high degree of confidence. Anything can happen. But, you know, I think they're as prepared as you can be. I have confidence in that."

Serial criminals a drain on police resources
[Editor's note – This story has been modified from its original version for reasons of privacy. With the exception of the removal of the identity of the first offender in the story, no information has been changed]
A handful of chronic offenders responsible for hundreds of offences in Delta are draining police resources, and the criminal justice system is ill-equipped to deal with them, says Delta's police chief.
"A lot of these people have concurrent disorders, which is drug addiction combined with mental illness," said Chief Const. Jim Cessford. "Often they are committing crimes just to stay alive. Putting them in jail doesn't work, these people need treatment."
Cessford presented the Delta Police Board with a report this month detailing the issues the local police force is having with a handful of offenders who are responsible for hundreds of crimes.
One chronic offender, a 26-year-old man from Tsawwassen, has already had 70 criminal charges laid against him, the majority for property crimes to support his daily drug habit of crack and methamphetamine, which incarceration has done little to deter.
"Upon release from prison, [he] often enters rehabilitation for a few days, relapses and goes on a drug binge and crime spree," the report states.
In October of last year, this offender made headlines after police caught him breaking into a home on Jackson Way in Tsawwassen. Police arrived, and the man, high on drugs at the time, stripped off his shirt and told police officers to shoot him. He then produced a knife and stabbed himself in the neck and chest.
After barricading himself in a room, Delta Police were forced to use a Taser to subdue and take him into custody.
The incident occurred months after the death of his 16-year-old girlfriend, who was stabbed by a 17-year-old male at Tsawwassen First Nation.
"The sad thing is, that while under the influence of drugs or suffering from some sort of acute mental illness, the subjects we deal with are often unpredictable and a higher level of force has to be used to solve the situation," Cessford said of the incident at the time.
The report details another chronic offender has had more than 40 charges brought against him despite being only 20 years old, "primarily for mental health issues, causing a disturbance, and non-compliance with court orders."
The report notes the individual suffers from schizophrenia and has admitted he hears voices and has hallucinations.
Considered violent and suicidal, his condition is exacerbated by his heavy use of injected crystal meth.
A North Delta man in his late 40s has had 142 charges brought against him since the age of 19. Since moving to Delta in 2009, the chronic offender and drug user has had more than 70 run-ins with local police. The report details how thefts matching the offender's modus operandi within 1.5 km of his residence dropped by close to 97 per cent while he was incarcerated.
"If we see a spike, we'll check to see if our chronic offenders are out, and sure enough, they'll be out," said Cessford. "We'll target them again and put them back in jail, and the cycle continues."
But jail doesn't provide the kind of treatment chronic offenders with concurrent disorders require, according to Cessford, and locking them up and throwing away the key isn't the answer.
While the report concludes that there are no simple solutions to the issue of chronic offenders, it does note the traditional punitive approach, including longer prison sentences is very costly and does not solve root causes of criminal activity.
"An evidence-based treatment approach would include mandatory treatment specific to the needs of the offender whether in-custody or through a community-based model," the report states.
"The cost to put people in jail is prohibitive, and it isn't working," said Cessford. Money saved by not prosecuting and jailing chronic offenders could be better used to create treatment facilities and long-term support programs for when they are back living in the community. The report notes that prison is the most expensive approach to managing offenders and with the Canadian prison system costing over $4 billion dollars per year, there is a need to evaluate the current approach to chronic offenders.
In contrast, the report notes that the state of Texas has recently undergone changes within its justice system to move away from incarceration and towards supported release programs.
"Faced with a potential $2 billion dollar cost to build an additional 17,000 prisoner beds, which were required to meet growing incarcerated populations, a greater emphasis was instead placed on probation strategies and programs," the report states. "It had been concluded that incarceration was not effective at reducing crime, and a shift in thinking was necessary to avoid the massive and ever increasing capital expenditure associated with building more jails. Instead of building more prisons, money in Texas was filtered into probation strategies that focused on evidence-based supervision and treatment practices, with the aim of reducing recidivism and ultimately the number of prisoners within the system."
Cessford says he would like to see a similar approach taken here in B.C., but that will require the cooperation of all levels of government, and a variety of public health and safety organizations.
"If we pull together, we can ensure these people get the help they need," Cessford said. "And we'll all be better off."

Hi my client wants a very colorful theme and I would like to add different background colors to the nav menus tabs? When I posted this question in the comments area I was told it was possible with some css. Please could you advise? I have the Avada Theme. Thanks
The easiest way is to assign a class to every list item in the menu (different class) that would define background color of the menu tab.
Ok thanks – can I check the css is added to the Custom Css box? And would I do something like; { #nav ul li menu-item-3687 background-color: #f68226; } { #nav ul li menu-item-3710 background-color: #D06861 } etc?

16-year-old Lexi Thompson gets historic LPGA win
"It was an unbelievable feeling to hear people cheering your kid like that. A very proud moment."
The home-schooled teen from Coral Springs, Fla., tapped in for par, hugged her father and got a celebratory dousing of bottled water over her head from Joh.
She's still a kid having fun. She spent the evening before the tournament at Outback Steakhouse with fellow teen golfer Janie Jackson talking about boys and teenage topics.
Joh, who opened the day seven shots back, finished with a 68 after closing the gap with four straight birdies starting on No. 12. Her previous best finish was 12th at the CN Canadian Women's Open.
Angela Stanford shot a 66 to surge into third place at 11 under, posting three sub-70 rounds after an opening 73. Brittany Lang (67) and Karen Stupples (68) were 10 under.
Meena Lee, who opened the day five shots back in second, finished with a 73 and tied with Stacy Lewis at 9 under.
Thompson closed with a tap-in for par and a drama-free finale.
She had flirted with history before. Thompson shared the 2009 Navistar LPGA lead after two rounds as a 14-year-old amateur. In May, she entered the final round at the Avnet LPGA in Mobile tied for the lead, but dropped to 19th with a closing 78.
This time, she built such a cushion that bogeys on Nos. 11 and 12 only cut her lead to five strokes over Lang and Lee. Thompson recovered with tap-ins for par on the next hole and No. 15 and coasted from there.
Thompson said the jitters never got too bad.
"I was definitely a little nervous but they were controllable," she said. "Once I hit the first tee shot I was like, 'All right, I'm good.'"

Book Clubs & Discussion Groups
Online Book Clubs
Join one of our Online Book Clubs! Every weekday morning, we will email you a portion of a book that takes about five minutes to read. After reading two or three chapters, you can finish a book by checking it out of the library. Each Monday, we will feature new books. Sign up today and start reading with us tomorrow.
