College Football Betting By the Numbers: Week 10
- Updated: November 1, 2013
When you bet on NCAA Football, you should know all about the numbers. Numbers for stats, numbers for trends, numbers for betting lines, numbers for 'totals' – You should know it all. Here at Bang the Book, we are set to talk about the NCAA football betting lines for Week 10. Here are the most important numbers that you need to remember for the week!
4 – The number of quarterbacks that the South Florida Bulls have used thus far on the season. After three horrid failures and with his job already on the line in his first season playing BCS level football, Head Coach Willie Taggert has taken the redshirt off of freshman QB Mike White. Now, Taggert basically has to keep White out there for the rest of the season come hell or high water. The first test? A game on short rest against the Houston Cougars, who have one of the most dynamic offenses in all of college football. Good luck, kid. You're going to need it.
4 – The number of teams that are ranked in the Top 6 in the country that aren't playing this weekend. That means that it is a great opportunity for both the Florida State Seminoles and the Miami Hurricanes to make up some big time ground, though obviously, only one of the two is going to be able to get the job done in the game at Doak Campbell Stadium. Either way, it will be a tremendous win for one of the teams in the Sunshine State, as the eyes of the world will be watching, while the rest of the teams are going to be sitting this week on the sidelines. Eight of the Top 25 aren't going to be in action this week as well.
5 – The number of consecutive covers for the Cincinnati Bearcats against the Memphis Tigers. Of course, this dates all the way back to the 2004 season when these two teams shared Conference USA together. Now, UC has a tough trip to the Liberty Bowl lined up. Memphis has been a dominating team at home for bettors this year, and it is unlucky not to have at least one more victory under its belt here in this venue. The Bearcats could have their work cut out for them, especially knowing that this is an oddball Wednesday night game.
6 – The number of covers for the NC State Wolfpack for the North Carolina Tar Heels in a row before last season. The Heels finally figured out how to get the best of their brethren from Tobacco Road, and that really might start to swing the tide the other way when push comes to shove. It's clear to us that, in spite of the records for these two teams, UNC is the better of the two teams, and that's why it is laying points in this game, even on the road in Raleigh.
18 – The number of touchdowns that RB Marion Grice has coming into Week 10 of the season. He has found the end zone at least once in every game this season in some respect, and he is not only the leading rusher, but the leading receiver for the Arizona State Sun Devils as well. Grice has the most touchdowns of any player in the nation, and he holds that title by a whopping three scores. Heisman Trophy hype? It won't happen unless Arizona State blows through a heck of a lot of competition here in a hurry, including the Washington State Cougars this week.
43 – The number representing the lowest 'total' of the weekend. The game we're referring to is the one between the Virginia Tech Hokies and the Boston College Eagles in the ACC. These two teams have a history of playing great defense, but perhaps more importantly, neither offense is exactly stellar either. Do remember though, that BC was the only team that had any success whatsoever this year against the defense for the Florida State Seminoles, and this game is played right where that one was here at Alumni Stadium.
47 – The number of points that the Texas A&M Aggies are favored by over the UTEP Miners on Saturday night. It's really not all that much of a surprise that this makes A&M the biggest favorites of the weekend. There aren't many marquee games on the board at this point, and this should be a stinker to end the night in the Lone Star State. QB Johnny Manziel isn't going to have to play long if this point spread has any legitimate hope of being covered.
53 – The number of points that the USC Trojans have scored combined in four of their eight games this season. That's the bad version of the Men of Troy. The good version? The team that scored 144 points in the other four games that it played combined.
61 – The number of points that the USC Trojans have allowed in six of their games this year. The bipolarity for the Trojans continues. This is the good version of USC. The bad version? The team that allowed 93 points in its two games against the Arizona Wildcats and the Arizona State Sun Devils. Simply put, this is an ugly team at times in just about every respect of the game.
66 – The number of rushing yards that the Miami Hurricanes have averaged against the Florida State Seminoles in the last eight seasons. These two play each other every single year, so this is an alarming stat, especially for a team that wants to run the pigskin. If RB Duke Johnson and the gang don't get to at least 100 rushing yards this week, the Canes are as good as dead, and the oddsmakers believe that they are in a bad spot, as they are one of the shockingly biggest underdogs of the week even though they are a Top 10 ranked team.
77 – The number of points in the game with the highest 'total' of the weekend. The game we are referring to is the one between the Texas A&M Aggies and the UTEP Miners. It goes without saying that A&M has an offense that can get to this 77 all by itself, and it also goes without saying that it has a defense that could give up 35 to the Miners as well. UTEP's games have been awfully high scoring this year too though, and there's a reason that the oddsmakers are expecting at least 11 TDs to hit the board on Saturday night.

The Laws of War: Past Present and Future
The first International Humanitarian Law Dialogs took place on August 29, 2007, on the 100th anniversary of the Hague rules of 1907 that are the basis of the laws that regulate armed conflict today. This was the first event of its kind, and many of the current and former prosecutors from the Nuremberg Military Tribunal, the Special Court for Sierra Leone, the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda, the Extraordinary Chambers in the Courts of Cambodia, and the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia were in attendance.
The first dialogs began with a reflection on the Nuremberg tribunal, what its projected legacy was, and what its legacy is in earnest. Professor John Q. Barret of St. John's University School of Law gave the opening lecture on what the expectations were around the mid-20th century for the future of International Humanitarian Law. Afterword former Nuremberg prosecutor Whitney Harris gave the keynote address on "The Legacy of Nuremberg."
The day centered around a round table discussion of international humanitarian law, past, present, and future following the morning's presentations, and culminated with the signing of the first Chautauqua declaration
Sponsoring organizations included the American Society of International Law; the Chautauqua Institution; Whitney R. Harris Institute for Global Legal Studies, Washington University in St. Louis School of Law; the Robert H. Jackson Center; and Syracuse University Law School.
David M. Crane,SCSL; Sir Desmond DeSilva, SCSL; Whitney Harris, IMT, Nuremberg; Hassan Jallow, ICTR; Henry King, IMT, Nuremberg; Luis Moreno-Ocampo, ICC; Robert Petit, Extraordinary Chambers in the Courts of Cambodia; Stephen Rapp, SCSL; and David Tolbert, ICTY participated.

Randall Lee Gibson
Sep. 10, 1832
Dec. 15, 1892
U.S. Congressman, U.S. Senator, Civil War Confederate Brigadier General. A native of Woodford County, Kentucky, he graduated from Yale College in 1853 and completed his law studies at the Law Department of the University of Louisiana in 1855. He worked on his father's large sugar plantation in Louisiana until he became an aide to Governor Thomas O. Moore when Louisiana seceded from the Union. When the Civil War began, he enlisted in the Confederate Army and became a Captain with the 1st Louisiana Artillery. A few months later, he was commissioned as a Colonel and assigned to the 13th Louisiana Infantry, and led the regiment at the Battle of Shiloh. He served in the Kentucky Campaign and at the Battle of Chickamauga and was promoted to Brigadier General on January 11, 1864. He commanded a brigade during the Atlanta Campaign before he was assigned to the defense of Mobile, Alabama. After the war, he was admitted to the bar and practiced as an attorney in New Orleans. He was an unsuccessful candidate for election to Congress in 1872. Elected as a Democrat to represent Louisiana's 1st District in the United States House of Representatives, he served from 1875 to 1883. He was reelected three times and did not seek renomination for a fifth term. He chose instead to run for the office of the United States Senate and was elected in 1882, reelected in 1889, and served until his death in Hot Springs, Arkansas in 1892. He was also a regent of the Smithsonian Institution and the first president of the board of administrators at Tulane University (his alma mater, formally the University of Louisiana). Gibson Hall, the Tulane University Administration Building, is named for him.

Yesterday, Tigers pitcher Doug Fister committed unspeakable acts in Arlington, Texas, giving up nine runs (eight earned) over four and a third innings, in a 13-9 defeat. Considering it was the rubber match of a more-important-than-usual mid-season series, one can forgive Tigers fans for feeling as if theyŌĆÖd been violated in a horribly unconscionable manner.
Coming on the heels of a solid run in June, where they had won four straight series and appeared to be breaking out of their season-long slump, finally crawling within spitting distance of .500, losing the last two series to the Pirates and Rangers hurts, to say the least. WhatŌĆÖs even more painful is what the two teams theyŌĆÖve lost those series to represent.
The Pirates are a walking repudiation of the way this Tigers team has been built (well, Pittsburgh doesnŌĆÖt walk all that much, or do anything else particularly well offensively, but you get the idea). With their payroll coming in at about one-third of the Tigers, the Pirates have found a way to forge a winner through pitching, defense, and depth. The stark contrast between the two teams was readily apparent as the Buccos managed to win two of three games despite scoring just ten runs combined. For those who thought this Tigers team was a lock to mash its way to a playoff spot, watching them lose to a more fundamentally sound team has to temper whatever enthusiasm might still be left.
Losing to the Rangers, on the other hand, points to two major issues the Tigers must be concerned with. First, as a team with a large payroll that has spent a lot of money the past couple of offseasons, like the Tigers, fans and front office personal alike can look back on what Texas has done and wonder, ŌĆ£What if?ŌĆØ What if, two winters ago, instead of singing Victor Martinez and resigning Brandon Inge, they had splurged on Adrian Beltre? Or, what if the Tigers had done a better job of drafting and developing talent, putting themselves in position to thrive via homegrown players, as well as being in position to make more trades to strengthen the big league club?
Secondly, if the Tigers do end up making the playoffs, it is likely they are going to have to get through Texas in October. The results of the two teamŌĆÖs matchups thus far does not bode well for such an occurrence, as Texas now has a 5-2 record against us this year.
Too soon?
One thing that really shocked me about the series in Arlington was that the people of north Texas appear to have gotten over the worst tragedy in their regionŌĆÖs history. I know itŌĆÖs been nearly fifty years, but starting Lee Harvey OswaldŌĆÖs grandson just a few miles from Dealey Plaza reeks of insouciance. I mean, the grandfather fires bullets from the sixth floor of the book depository and now his grandson is firing bullets past hitters…
WhatŌĆÖs that?… ItŌĆÖs spelled with a ŌĆśTŌĆÖ at the end?… Are you sure?… Okay, but I assume he changed it to shed his grandfatherŌĆÖs terrible legacy… He didnŌĆÖt?… TheyŌĆÖre not related at all?… Are you certain?… You are. Huh. But have you looked at pictures of the two of them? I mean, they look a lot alike. Both trashy southern white dudes and all.
You know, I think maybe somebody should look into this. Like a congressional investigation or something. Is Earl Warren still alive? IŌĆÖm sure thereŌĆÖs some grainy video footage that could come into play. Or possibly the CIA, the mafia, Fidel Castro, LBJ, and the Stay-Puff Marshmallow Man conspired together. Somebody should write a book about it. Or make a movie. Something like that. WhereŌĆÖs Oliver Stone when you need him?

Windhoek — The Polytechnic of Namibia (PoN) and the Namibia Training Authority (NTA) on Tuesday signed a Memorandum of Understanding that formalises the two institutions' partnership in the provision of Vocational Education and Training (VET).
Such an agreement underscores cooperation in a number of areas that include the development of VET trainer qualifications for the training of VET trainers, quality assurance and criteria for processes to be followed to successfully implement these qualifications.
Prior to the establishment of the NTA through the Vocational Education and Training Act (Act 1 of 2008), the Polytechnic, through an agreement with the Directorate of Vocational Education and Training (DVET) in the Ministry of Education was charged with the provision of VET Training-of-Trainer courses in 2000 (instructor training programmes).
A subsequent tender was awarded to the PoN after the establishment of the NTA, to conduct a pilot study for the training of VET instructors to work with Competency Based Education and Training (CBET) - in a no pass or fail but competent or not competent method of instruction - where the PoN collaborated with the universities of Newcastle, Australia and TAFE NSW Hunter Institute (an Australian registered training organisation) for the development and delivery of the pilot programme.
Extensive consultations during the 2009-10 period realised a curriculum which is based on unit standards that will now be used to train the instructors, while the PoN Senate approved the VET Level 5 NVQ, and in 2009 permission was obtained from the NTA to run the VET Level 4 NVQ in parallel with Level 5 as a pilot project.
The pilot programme had its first intake in June 2010 with a total of 18 trainees enrolled.
Implemented on the premise that the trainees were in possession of a trade/occupation qualification as well as a minimum of three years' experience in the occupation - the minimum standard for VET trainers as set by the NTA - it concluded with an 80% competency rate which also included practical attachments at vocational training institutions as well as an assessment of technical competencies.
Trainers were from different industries such as telecommunications and electronics, auto electronics, carpentry and joinery, hairdressing, aircraft engineering and special school technical trainers, to name just a few.
NTA's Chief Executive Officer Maria Nangolo-Rukoro indicated some sectors including industry looked down on Namibian trainers and instructors, and further raised their concerns about teachers being incompetent and unqualified to conduct quality training.
"As such, they feel that the quality of training offered at our public institutions, including our state-owned vocational training centres, does not meet the needs of industry."
However, she believes that particular notion is a perception rather than a fact and added that "delivery of passionate, qualified and competent instructors - effective in transferring skills to trainees - can assist in fighting perceptions and allow VET to take up its rightful place in a holistic education system."
Meanwhile, PoN's rector Dr Tjama Tjivikua reinforced his institution's desire for professional and career-oriented education and training, saying it ensured that on completion of studies, graduates would have acquired specific, career-focused competencies.
"The unique and added value of service learning as an effective educational approach and pedagogical tool is that students are actively engaged in the learning process, while immersed in the communities and thus do not only have an opportunity to explore connections between theory and practice, but also connect with communities," he said.
Ultimately, the current proposal will require PoN to entirely run the programme, undertake training of VET trainers on behalf of the VET market, while NTA will provide the funding to enable the training.
Furthermore, the PoN will conduct trainee recruitment and under the current understanding, they (trainees) would be required to meet PoN's admission requirements of 25 points in five Grade 12 subjects including an E in English, trade qualification and a minimum of three years' experience in their respective trades/occupational areas related to their qualifications.
These are requirements for the entry Level 4 qualification.
Currently, the Certificate in Vocational Education and Training, Higher Certificate in Vocational Education and Training, and the Diploma in Vocational and Education and Training Management are now institutional programes approved and recognized by the Polytechnic Senate and its Council for Higher Education.

Since the increase in cases of deaths, including confirmed, probable and suspected from the outbreak of the deadly Ebola virus in Liberia, several individuals and government officials have hastily left the country for fear of contracting the virus.
Liberian officials who are amongst key decision makers for the overall governance of the country are amongst some of those who have left the country during this crisis period.
The number of government officials who have left and some still leaving the country increased after the United States Embassy in Monrovia called a meeting of all US citizens cautioning them to decide whether to remain in the country or leave. Several Liberian government officials are said to hold dual citizenship, mainly US and Liberian and as such may have to heed to medical advisory from one of their countries of nationality.
The debate on dual citizenship has been raging in Liberia for years with some calling for a legislation to be enacted supporting Liberians to become citizens of more than one countries while others on the other side of the coin are against such law. The majority of senior Liberian government officials resided in the United States prior to their appointments in government and as such have their families and relatives living abroad prompting their regular visitation, but President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf, also a usual traveler to the US and other countries abroad Monday dropped a bomb when she declared travel ban for all officials of government working in the Executive Branch which she heads. The president also instructed that those officials already out of the country should return within a week.
"President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf has suspended all travel by government officials who are part of the Executive Branch of Government with immediate effect", stated a presidential statement from the Executive Mansion. According to the Executive Mansion, these include, government officials of all Ministries, Agencies, Public Corporations, commissions, and parastals that are under the Executive Branch for a period of one month.
The statement furthered: "The Liberian leader has also instructed all government officials currently out of the country, whether on government or private visit, to return home within a week or be considered as abandoning their jobs". In the wake of the Presidential mandate, several officials are already out of the country and it is not known if these officials will adhere to the Presidential mandate since many of them are buddies to the Liberian leader.
As the travel ban and one week ultimatum comes into play, FrontPageAfrica has gathered that some officials are already out of the country, amongst them the head of the country's Supreme Audit Institution, the General Auditing Commission of Liberia, Yusador Gaye, the Director of the Liberia Telecommunications Corporation (LIBTELCO), Sabastian Muah, the Board Chairman of the National Oil Company of Liberia, Cllr. Seward Cooper, the Chairman of the Liberia Telecommunications Authority, Angeline Weeks and others.
According to investigation Auditor General Gaye on Monday posted a memorandum at the GAC where she disclosed that she has requested for 20 days compulsory leave to travel to the United States of America.
Auditor General Gaye's travel coincided with the presidential mandate on the same Monday and it is unclear whether she sought the permission of the President before her departure. The Director of LIBTELCO who admitted approving the travel of Patrick Sawyer known for transferring the deadly Ebola virus to Nigeria, Sabastian Muah is also said to be out of the country.
During a visit at LIBTELCO Monday one security officer said he is out of office, but did state how long, but other sources confirmed to FPA that Muah is currently out of the country. Muah in an online chatroom admitted approving Sawyers' travel days after his sister was confirmed dead from the Ebola virus.
With Arcelor Mittal, a steel company operating in the country where Sawyer also worked as an employee too preventive measures upon being told by Sawyer that his sister had died from the disease but Muah approved Sawyer's travel to Nigeria, a situation that has led to anger from the government and people of Nigeria, the action of the Liberian government to allow Sawyer to travel there.
"The man was on NO watch list. I approved his travel. He emailed us several weeks earlier that his sister had died from the disease and that he had asked that his blood be taken for testing. That test result did not come back positive."
"So to say someone made him travel and exposed him to others is pure hate and misuse of a tragedy that have somehow brought the message home to the many who are in denial of this deadly disease, which by the way has NO CURE", said Muah. He argued that he was not a Medical doctor and as such could not deny Sawyer his wish to travel challenging another discussant in the chat room to take him to an international court for approving the travel.
"I am a medical Doctor? I will respond when angry Liberians try to make an uncalled for statement about a tragic situation. They old people say empty drum can't make noise. So you will be talking by yourself as I see you don't know what you are talking about and as a matter of finding the solution you DO NOT HAVE any but trying to find blame. WOW. Someone must have frustrated the hell out of you in Liberia O.... Take me to the international court since I am guilty of approving a travel", Muah challenged his fellow discussant.
The head Commissioner of the Liberia Telecommunications Authority is another official from the Executive branch of Government who is said to be currently out of the country.
Madam Angeline Weeks is one of President Sirleaf's confidantes as a while ago, she consummated a rental deal committing the LTA to US$1. 5 million lease with a Chinese Landlord, an action the President described as not necessary and called on the Ministry of Justice to nullify the agreement, but that is yet to be done and the LTA is currently occupying the building in question.
The Chairman of the Board of Directors of NOCAL, Cllr. Seward Cooper is another senior government official who is also believed to be out of the country. There are several other junior and senior officials of government who are out of the country and it remains to be seen whether the President will act against these officials.
In time past, President Sirleaf has been accused of making makeup pronouncements with no concrete actions. The Liberian leader recently suspended several officials of government for failure to declare assets which were applauded but the outcome of her suspension is yet to be seen as many of these officials are staying performing their duties.

Nanochip invention by UTSA professors will accelerate research results
(Dec. 1, 2010)--UTSA professors Anand Ramasubramanian in the College of Engineering Department of Biomedical Engineering and Jose Lopez-Ribot in the College of Sciences Department of Biology and South Texas Center for Emerging Infectious Diseases (STCEID) have developed a prototype nanochip that can accelerate testing in drug delivery and diagnostics.
The chip uses high-throughput screening, which is technology that allows researchers to test simultaneously hundreds of thousands of small molecules for specific characteristics.
"This project started when Dr. Lopez-Ribot and I met at an interdisciplinary seminar held at UTSA," said Ramasubramanian. "We talked about his Candida albicans research, and he said that the current industry standard is 96 well plates. We thought there had to be a better way. There had to be a way to leverage today's technology to achieve faster testing."
Following the seminar, the researchers began talking about applying their ideas in practice. Shortly thereafter, with assistance from Anand Srinivasan, a graduate student in biomedical engineering, and Priya Uppuluri, a post-doctoral researcher in biology, they began developing a high-throughput nanochip to screen potential antifungal drug candidates for Candida albicans. Often fatal to individuals with weakened immune systems, this fungal organism is the third most common hospital-derived infection in the United States.
With grants from the UTSA Office for Research Commercialization and Innovation Proof of Concept fund and the University of Texas Health Science Center's Institute for the Integration of Medicine and Science, and capital equipment support from the STCEID, the researchers developed a nanochip comprised of 768 equivalent and spatially distinct Candida albicans nano-biofilms on a single microscope glass slide.
The chip already has shown to be effective in research, offering advantages including:
- Accelerated research results
- Less chemical reagent use and increased savings, since experiments are conducted on the nanoscale
- The opportunity to conduct tens of thousands of tests at once because the process to create high-throughput slides is automated and multiple slides can be printed at once
- Durability, since slides do not dry out easily and can be washed multiple times
- Productivity and convenience for researchers who no longer have to wait for results from repeated testing periods
Now that a prototype has been created, Ramasubramanian and Lopez-Ribot are testing large libraries of compounds for potential anti-fungal activity. Ramasubramanian recently received funds from the Semp Russ Foundation of the San Antonio Area Foundation and from the San Antonio Life Sciences Institute to develop separate high-throughput chips to diagnose chlamydial infection and to screen potential breast cancer drug candidates.
The project will be in collaboration with researchers from UTSA's STCEID and the UT Health Science Center at San Antonio. Shankar Evani, a research fellow in Ramasubramanian's laboratory will assist in the effort. Lopez-Ribot is the recipient of grants from the NIH National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases to study C. albicans biofilms and the pathogenesis of candidiasis.
With the long-term view of successful technology commercialization, the UTSA Center for Innovation and Technology Entrepreneurship (CITE) teams researchers with graduate students in the UTSA Management of Technology program to create a strategic technology business plan that assesses the market potential and outlines the technology roadmap necessary to bridge the gap between research development and new technology venture.
"These are the kind of synergies we can create at UTSA, bringing together phenomenal research innovation with targeted class projects that both improve the educational model for our students and help propel technology from our laboratories into the market," said Cory Hallam, CITE founding director.

the management and staff of Champion's Image, is please to be associated with your product FIRE BLADE.
Since we have been selling at the gym, we have great reviews of you product.
I use a can everyday. We try not to run out of stock or else our members will be upset so we try to keep it up to date with you.
Thank you for this product.
Really appreciate it.

First, please make different threads for different users as the problem might be or not be the same.
Second, we should do this the correct way: Start from nothing and start building. AFAIK, you only need (besides cooling elements), a motherboard, a CPU, a RAM (1 RAM stick at a time), and a PSU. Nothing else to start a computer. Then add ONE part of a time, boot, and see results. Do this and one by one add HDD, the graphics, etc....When you are in Windows, run some benchmark tools for 30-60 mins. This way your components get stressed and if something is wrong with them, they will BSOD.
Third, if after doing second nothing goes wrong (hard to believe but) start a linux LiveCD and see if it isnt some strange driver compatibility issue.

Being the eager beaver that I am, I instantly started researching rentals as soon as we decided that we were really going to make this move. We needed to make sure we could find a place we could afford that I would be willing to live in. I may be moving to Costa Rica, but I'm still a bit of a princess and want a nice place with American standards. As you drive through Costa Rica you will see a wide range of homes from luxury upscale to tin shacks. And although I may pick up surfing, I don't want to live the surfer lifestyle. Is it too much to ask to have a toilet that you can flush toilet paper down?
After crunching the numbers, we decided that our rental budget would be around $1,500 mo. We want to keep our budget low our first year until we get a better idea of how much things are really going to cost. Not only are we cutting our income almost in half to make this move, our daughter's school is not going to be cheap. We needed to take all of that into consideration, including the unknown. And my husband insists on having a house cleaner at least once a week. I guess he thinks I'm a slob.
Location, location, location
After traveling on vacation to the Guanacaste region of Costa Rica three times over the last few years, we basically know which areas we like best. We're focusing our search around the beach towns of Playa Flamingo, Playa Potrero & Playa Grande. Tamarindo is just too populated for us and not as family friendly as we would like. But if you like the sound of loud motorcycles, construction, horns honking and drunk people screaming throughout the night, Tamarindo may be just the place for you. We also need to be in close driving distance to one of the two private schools that we are deciding between — Guanacaste Country Day School or LaPaz Community School. And for my husband's wish list, he wants an ocean view condo that is not on the ground floor. The higher the better. He feels that the higher up you are the harder it will be for the big scary bugs to get to him. This theory may be somewhat true, but he IS in Costa Rica and he WILL encounter some scary critters. My daughter just wants a pool. And we need a place that is pet friendly. We come with a dog and a cat. I would be okay leaving the cat behind, but my dog must come with. My daughter would never forgive me if we found our cat a new home though. Just like I never forgave my mom for giving away Dominoes (sorry mom). As with most rentals, it's hard to find ones that will allow pets.
Finding a long term rental
Finding a long term rental in Costa Rica is not as easy as it is here in the states. There is no large database of long term rentals located in one place. And I'm finding that different real estate agents have different pools of properties to offer. I've also done extensive searching on a variety of websites including the well known www.homeaway.com and www.vbro.com. These sites primarily list vacation rentals, not long term rentals. So when I find one I like I email them and ask if they'd consider a long term rental. Most say no, but some say yes, although they've been out of our price range so far. There are a few real estate websites that do list long term rentals, including Blue Water Properties of Costa Rica and Tropical Homes of Costa Rica, but when I contact them I'm told that I'm looking too early and I need to wait. I guess a year before our move is a little early. I'm a planner, so waiting to plan is hard. My best contact has been real estate agent Alonso Lara. He was referred to us by an expat that lives in Playa Flamingo. He has been very responsive and continues to send me listings. I'm sure he thinks I'm crazy…"You want what for how much? Crazy gringa!" He is going to show us some properties in November when we go down for another vacation. Can't wait!
So I guess it's time to slow down on the house hunt. There's no point in putting the cart before the horse, as one agent told me. I'll get back to her in March…that's if Alonso and I don't find something first.

Young Artists are introduced to art fundamentals through drawing, painting, working with clay and other techniques. Teens learn about past and present artists while expanding upon their artistic skills.

In 1885, the State of Tennessee received a special gift that would forever change education and the arts in Nashville: $100,000 and a parcel of land at the corner of Sixth Avenue and Church Street, Samuel Watkins, an orphan who later built a fortune in the masonry business, designated this gift in his will to build a school that would strengthen the city. The resulting school, Watkins Institute, evolved into one of the finest community-oriented education facilities in the region. For 120 years, Watkins' role has been flexible, addressing the unmet educational needs of Nashville.
Today, Watkins College of Art, Design & Film is an independent institution dedicated to providing education in the visual arts. It is held in trust by the state of Tennessee and is privately supported. In keeping with the vision of its founder, Samuel Watkins, the College believes in providing its students with a solid, practical education that prepares them for careers in the arts. It is an institution that values service to the community and seeks to be a resource for the community. In this role, Watkins offers non-degree arts education in addition to the college curriculum.

SUMMARY: Nearly half of Web users watched online videos last year, a 45% growth over 2006, according to The Pew Internet and American Life Project. Because of that growth, marketers are testing video in unique ways.
See why a manufacturer abandoned traditional media in favor of a video landing page for a product launch. The campaign brought in twice the number of prospects and ended up being one of their best launches ever.

Huge Rave! As great as Seche Vite can be, this is better. SV just gets too thick too quickly (even using Restore) and only rarely do I master the application so that all 10 nails come out without clumps or bubbles. It's just not worth it. This was much thinner, so it applied easily, and combined with the CND Dry and Shine, it dried quickly. I am really, really pleased. I like the quick dry topcoats, but they seem to cause my polish to crack after a couple of days. This is the best of both worlds - definitely one of the shiniest topcoats I have ever seen, and it dries quickly. My nails look and feel like glass - it's awesome!

I really don't understand why I am so hard on my nails. I do very little cooking or cleaning, but I am at my PC all day most week days, so maybe that is the culprit.
I just switched from one of the Essie top coats to this one and I guess I get around the same amount of chipping, but much less yellowing and the shine is still there. I only wear creamy sheer shades on my fingers, so yellowing is noticeable, but not nearly as much with Shiney. This week, I only have a small chip in the tip on each ring finger after 5 days.
I have my manicurist apply Sticky, two coats of polish and then I wait at least 10 minutes before she applies Shiney. Otherwise, as everyone else says, it would never dry. After about 2 1/2 hours, my nails are pretty safe to even was my hair and style it, though I am pretty careful.

The Super Shiny Top Coat by CND is great. I love it. This is the top 2 tied with Seche Vite. However, Seche Vite I think might be more expensive and can get a bit thick. This stay lovely. It makes my nails look fresh and the color lasts. LOVE it. Great polish. People always go for OPI, but Creative Nail is really good, too!!!

Sadly, I can't vouch for whether this product is true to its name because every.single.time I've used it, I end up with a ruined manicure. No matter if I use OPI Drip Dry or walk around with 'jazz hands' for a few hours. I always end up with smudges or nicks. I eventually gave up and threw it away and went back to Seche.

This is probably one of the best top coats I've ever used. It's true it takes forever to dry completely, but I use OPI's Drip Dry drops and it dries within minutes. The gloss this top coat gives is just unbelievable!! With other top coats, I find that within a few days the gloss begins to fade, but not with Super Shiney!! This top coat gives my nails a glossy finish that lasts even to the last day before I take off the color with nail polish remover. I use this in conjunction with Stickey, OPI ridge filler, and OPI color and a typical manicure lasts over 7 days without major chipping. I just took off my 16-day manicure (was too busy to do my nails the past week) and there was only one major chip on the bottom of my thumb and noticeable wear at the edges of my nails...other than that, everything was still in tact! The brush isn't the best as it's not like OPI's pro-wide brushes, but still, the product applies and spreads evenly on nails...highly recommended and this is my new HG top coat!

I absolutely agree that this takes a while to dry. It probably takes 4 times as long as what Seche takes. But it's soooo worth it! I used Stickey as my base coat, applied 2 coats of Light My Sapphire, and topped it with Super Shiney, and my mani has stayed on for 5 days now with no chips. It's amazing and worth the hour drying time. Just do your mani on a day off when you have the time to wait. It'll last all week. Love it.

Super Shiney is very true to its title. It goes on with a high gloss and retains it for days. It also protects well with minimal tip wear and chipping. I had a lot of problems with Seche and Poshe losing shine and showing lots of tip wear after a day or two, and Super Shiney has been performing much better. Edit: I have since found some solutions for my problems with SV.
This topcoat applies easily and in a thin layer. I used it with OPI RapiDry Spray and it dried fairly quickly. It was dry to the touch within 5 mins and stood up to me carrying equipment 1 - 1 1/2 hours later. Of course, this dry time is forever compared to Seche or Poshe, but if you have a little more time to for your mani to dry, Super Shiney is an excellent choice.
Unfortunately, I hardly use SS anymore even though it wears so well. I usually do my manis around bedtime and don't want sheet marks.

I really am on the fence about this product. Love the super shine but takes forever to dry. I'm a chronic insomniac so I normally do my manicure at night. The first time I used this top coat, I was doing my nails at 2 a.m., finished with Qtica Half Time Polish Drying Accelerator and then went about watching tv, surfing the net, and had my meal at 4 a.m. (I was hungry) and went to bed at 10 a.m. I woke up at 3 p.m., and there were bedsheet marks all over my nails!

I've only ever used this over my acrylics and have to say I love it. On my 'false' nails it dries in an instant and lasts for ages. Have never used it over polish so can't comment, but for my purposes its shinier than anything I've ever tried including Sally Hansen's "Megashine" top coat. Another Creative success - just love their products.

If this does what I think it MIGHT do, I would repurchase.
I agree with Randi below. It shines nicely but it does take forever to dry. After about 2.5 hours, I got a fingerprint on one of my nails, and two dings on two other nails. This would have NEVER happened with Seche Vite, my current HG. Guess what else makes this just ridiculous? I used not one but TWO quick drying products! I used Essie Quick E and OPI RapiDry! I could not be more pissed about the drying time, the reduction of which has saved about every manicure I've done this year. I can't spend an hour drying like some moron. Grr.
Also, no one has noticed this so I'll be the first to point out--that although it it shiny, it's NOT thick and glossy over glitter polish. I have this now over China Glaze Eyes Like Sapphires... a polish with lightly imbedded small glitter... and you can feel the roughness AND you can see little salt-like glitter crust on the nine nails with Super Shiney. On the ONE nail with Seche Vite, the nail is soooo much more smooth, glossy and shiny.
I suspect, but do not have evidence, that this topcoat would do best over thinly painted and dried top coats and cream or shimmer (not glitter) polishes. I probably should have used this rather than Seche Vite over my gloppy red cream Chanel Pulsar manicure... because it is thinner and as we all know, Seche Vite is a really thick coating whereas this is way flatter and closer to the color.
If I am right, then I do believe this topcoat will be salvaged. I may have to experiement with this. But really if I don't feel like it since I already have one HG in my Seche Vite, then I would change this rebuy rating to a no. I have to be honest, there is shine on the nine nails but the salty crunchy glitter texture is a definite negative. continued >>
