Double standard
I follow politics very closely. In the race for the 23rd Congressional District, Republican candidate for Congress Tom Watson has often said that "He's not a politician. He's never run for anything."
After reading a recent news article revealing that Mr. Watson has repeatedly sought exclusive government funding for his own company, while simultaneously decrying government spending, I think that Mr. Watson is certainly your typical politician. He has one standard for himself, and one standard for everyone else.
If he thinks that the government should cut spending, maybe he should give back all of government funding awarded to his company.
I hope that Mr. Watson explains this double standard to the public.

Saturday marked the 37th birthday for Tampa Bay Rays veteran reliever Joel Peralta. And you can bet that every member of the Tampa Bay organization knew about it.Peralta entered the clubhouse this morning to find a colorful display around his locker in celebration of his big day. He can thank his younger teammates and clubhouse staff for the big surprise.The theme for Peralta's birthday display seemed to revolve around him being "over the hill" by baseball standards. It included a sign that warned nearby onlookers that they were entering a "slow & old zone." The display also included an inflatable walker, and a cane which had an inscription that read "tease me about my age, I'll beat you with my cane."Apparently, the right-hander promised to follow through on the threat if anyone ever does.Via MLB Cut4

I try to surround myself with as much positive energy as possible and want absolutely nothing to do with negative people or drama. Music and computers are my passion. I don't have any kids but plan on having some in the future.

Digital wallet service now offered to credit unions processing cards with The Members Group.
Seven credit unions go first with V.me offering through Card Services for Credit Unions.
Why mobile banking now is a "must have" for credit unions.
Beware the ides of Google, and while Isis is no gift from the gods, Bluebird just may prove to be a vulture.
LAS VEGAS — In a high-level digital wallets panel at the Money2020 confab, the verbal punches came from two heavyweights, PayPal and Google.
LAS VEGAS — "It has to be secure." "It has to be easy to use." "It has to be exciting."
Isis, the mobile payments joint venture formed by AT&T, Verizon Wireless and T-Mobile has launched its pilot in Austin, Texas and Salt Lake City.
In an era of almost daily news about alternate and mobile payment solutions in our industry, credit union executives are right to be concerned not only about the future of their business but also of the potential dilution of their brand as new players enter the market.
It might seem too late to the digital wallet party, but Visa's V.me could prove to be a major competitor to category leader PayPal.
Robert McGarvey's column this time focuses on Google and Apple and wither goes the digital wallet.

30 year old woman | New York, NY, USA | Seeking men 28-38 within 5 miles
Active within 5 days
I think I'm funny, loyal, chatty (I love good witty banter) and intelligent. I'm from the Jersey shore area (no GTL comments please) and have been in NYC since college. I am very fortunate to have dynamic group of friends to enjoy a big Sunday night dinner in...or a fun night out. And family just a ferry ride away. As an only child and my father's only option, I was raised a Mets/Jets fan and love spending time supporting my teams (clearly I'm not doing enough). Although I have my favorite old standbys, I love trying new restaurants – it is one of my favorite things about the city. I'd love to find someone that keeps me laughing and challenged, to teach me about life, friendship and fun. I want someone who appreciates my sense of humor (read: sarcasm) and is secure in who he is. He would also be great at loading the dishwasher (I'm terrible at it) and frequently offer to walk my hypothetical dog (late night walks are my barrier for entry to the NYC dog owner market). I hope to find someone that I not only love spending time with but I can also rely on, to support, encourage and push me to be better. I admire people that have a passion for what they do and I want someone that feels very engaged in their job, whatever it may be.

I was wondering should I upgrade my current PC I built around 5-6 years ago or should I build a new one?
Here are my current specs:
Processor: Intel® Core i5 CPU 650 @ 3.20GHzMotherboard: ASUS P7P55DVideo Card: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 460Memory: 6.2 GBOperating System: Microsoft Windows 8 (build 9200), 64-bit
I mainly want to play games at higher settings. Right now I mainly play Dayz , I can play it alright but, I have to turn down the settings and the FPS still is under 30 FPS. I was thinking of upgrading my RAM to 16GB and getting a new graphics card but, I don't know if that will help or not? As for processors, I looked at newegg and they don't even have LGA 1156 socket processors anymore.
What do you guys think?

Having a baby in Spain
If you're having a baby in Spain, here's a guide to Spanish prenatal care, delivery, aftercare, and maternity and paternity leave in Spain.
Spanish healthcare is of a high standard, and free for residents who work and live in Spain and contribute social security payments. If you're living and working in Spain, you'll likely be paying income tax towards state healthcare cover that includes maternity services, although private healthcare insurance offers access to private facilities.
Spanish maternity care
The degree of medical contact with pregnant women is reasonably high in Spain, with more antenatal tests and intervention during childbirth than would happen in the UK. The standard of care is highly regarded, both public and private. In the larger cities, such as Barcelona and Madrid, maternity facilities are very comprehensive, ranging from large hospitals to smaller clinics. Larger facilities are usually run under the social security system, while smaller providers are via health insurance.
The traditional option of birth in a hospital is by far the most common, although in some areas home births are becoming available.
Prenatal care in Spain
Once you think you may be pregnant you are advised to see a doctor as soon as possible, so that the pregnancy can be confirmed, you can be examined and routine blood tests and ultrasound scans arranged. Many clinics have a community midwife who will arrange antenatal appointments; generally once a month with progress recorded in the consultation document, or 'mothers' passport'.
Your next port of call will be the local hospital for a scan. A number of tests will be conducted including for diabetes, toxoplasmosis and HIV. You will also have monthly blood and urine tests. In most cases the midwife will schedule you for a scan once month up until the 32nd week of pregnancy, at which point the frequency of appointments will increase to once every two weeks. As the birth draws nearer there will also be a test for streptococcus B, which is compulsory in state hospitals. Should you be receiving treatment from a private hospital, then the test will only be carried out upon request.
Maternity care is not included in the EU EHIC card that covers public healthcare so make sure your health insurance or social security has been sorted out. Being registered for social security will also entitle you to the standard maternity leave of 16 weeks. In order to qualify you must have been paying contributions for a set period of time (zero for mothers under 21; 90 days for mothers aged between 21 and 26; or 180 days for mothers over 26).
Delivery in Spain
When you go to the hospital to give birth you should go to the emergency ward (urgencias) of the local hospital. English is not always widely spoken so it is sensible to have someone with you who can speak Spanish to ask questions on your behalf and communicate your preferences concerning medical treatment. Spanish hospitals will have standard operating procedures that they don't necessarily run past patients, so it is important to have someone to explain what is happening and to speak up for you.
Similar to Germany, hospitals in Spain do not allow gas or air, although epidurals and pethidine are available.
Home births in Spain, meanwhile, are rare and not covered by the state health system.
Immediately following the birth, the baby's health will be thoroughly assessed based on the Apgar score, which rates the baby's condition with particular focus on heart rate, breathing and reflexes. An overall score of between zero and 10 will be given, with 10 being the highest. Any concerns about the score will be addressed by the doctor or midwife. A score of seven or higher usually indicates that the baby is in good health, but a lower score doesn't necessarily mean there will be any long-term health problems for the newborn.
Some common duties performed by nurses in other countries, such as supporting new mothers with personal care and feeding, are not done by nurses in Spain. Therefore you may wish to arrange help at the hospital from partners, friends or family. You can have one visitor with you throughout your time in hospital, including at night.
Most mothers leave the maternity hospital within five days, in which time at least two checks on the newborn will have been completed. A final examination will include a scan and you will be given an infant record book to track the child's condition and health appointments until the age of 18. The baby will also have a blood test at one week to determine if there are any genetic defects.
When you are being discharged the hospital will give you a yellow form to register the birth. You must register your baby at the local Civil Registry Office (Registro Civil) within eight days of the birth. If there is a valid reason a delay of up to 30 days is allowed however. In addition to the documentation provided by the hospital, you must also bring any national insurance documents belonging to the parents as well as a marriage certificate, which must be translated into Spanish. If the baby is born outside of marriage, then both parents must attend the registry office.
It is generally advisable to bring your passports, in case they are required to verify your identity.
Statutory maternity leave in Spain is just 16 weeks, rising to 18 weeks for twins and 20 weeks for triplets. Most women go back to work immediately after the 16 weeks, which means mother and baby groups are less common. However, the standard option for daycare is the nursery (guarderia), which often take children from a few months old and upward. Fathers receive 15 days paternity leave.

Aviva Premiership: Worcester Warriors edge out London Welsh
Last Updated: 21/12/12 10:38pm
Josh Matavesi on the charge for Worcester
Semisi Taulava scored the only try of the contest as Worcester beat London Welsh 13-6 in a dire game at Sixways.
Taulava's effort, midway through the second half, was the difference between the two sides but had Gordon Ross not missed with three kickable penalties, Welsh could have easily come away with the points.
The visitors edged the forward battle and had more possession and territory but lacked the creativity to break down a stubborn home defence as they failed to capitalise on the yellow-carding of Taulava.
Ross and Andy Goode exchanged early penalties before Nikki Walker was held up in the in-goal area as Welsh kept their line intact, but they conceded a second penalty to Goode, as the Warriors took a 6-3 lead after 22 minutes.
Just before half-time, Worcester suffered a double blow when firstly Taulava was sin-binned for offside at a maul and then Ross fired over the resulting penalty to tie up the scores at the interval.
Taulava returned with no further damage to the scoreline but still it was Welsh who had the better of the opening exchanges of the second half.
Ross kicked skilfully to keep the visitors going forward as Worcester had considerable difficulty in breaking out of their own half.
A poor pass from Josh Matavesi resulted in the Warriors being penalised but Ross missed the penalty chance and it proved costly as suddenly from nowhere Worcester produced a stunning try.
From inside his own 22, Matavesi started the move with an elusive run, Goode made the next inroads before Alex Grove carved open the Welsh defence with a clean break.
The ball was recycled for Matavesi to make ground before sending Taulava over for the try which Goode converted - giving the Warriors a 13-6 lead going into the final quarter.
Worcester nearly scored again when neat footwork from Lemi saw him race away and kick ahead, but Dan Caprice got back to beat the Warriors' wing to the bouncing ball and deny the try.

Four tools for cloning hard disks
Clone Wars
Is your hard disk making strange noises? Do you intend to make some major hardware changes? Maybe it's high time to clone your disk. Four tools help Linux users and system administrators move their data and create one-to-one copies.
Whether a John Doe user is planning to tinker with hardware at home or a Linux admin needs to create a server farm with identical virtualized installations, sooner or later, most users face the challenge of mirroring hard disks. When doing so, it's a good idea to approach dd with some respect. Although the tool is always ready to serve, carelessness can cause irreparable damage. If you don't have good backups in this case, you can forget your data while you rebuild the system.

Jayshree's Visa -- FINALLY!
Jayshree: "My visa is just got stamped & the visa officer asked me to enjoy Morocco. Oh Yeah...see you all at Casablanca."
Why yes, Jayshree, yes we will! And we're really looking forward to hearing the sordid details of this Visa fiasco. Your application was submitted months ago and it's just now being approved with four days left until departure? That, there, is some amazing bureaucratic heel dragging.

Some of the students are against the war. Others believe in the cause. All say they support the military men and women and want to show their appreciation for the sacrifices being made so far from home.
They and other school groups know the USO and American Red Cross have been asked to curtail donations of anything but money for U.S. troops in the Persian Gulf. The donations were overwhelming officials, who requested that care packages be limited to friends and family of specific troops.
And that's what faculty sponsors Debbie Swanson, a math teacher, and Karen Warmbir, a government teacher, were doing. Spedale's cousin, Tommy Holt, 27, of Berwyn, who is in the Army's 101st Airborne Division, will be receiving one of the packages.
Nesreen Ramli, also a Richards senior, said she was glad she could do something to help the troops and thought the effort was important for everyone at the school.
"Despite my feelings of being opposed to the war, I still feel all the troops are just young people like we are, and I'm sure they want to be home in a different atmosphere," said Ramli, president of the school's National Honor Society. "A lot of the people in this school have family there, and it brings a warm feeling to know they can help."
At Blue Island's Eisenhower High School, students in the Junior ROTC have been collecting donations for the troops and writing them letters of appreciation.
Larry Resendez, a retired chief warrant officer with the Marines, who teaches the program, said the donations would be sent to about 15 specific members of the military, including some of his former JROTC students and "brothers" in the Marines.
"If you get them involved, they really enjoy it," he said. And he encourages the letters because he knows troops prize such correspondence. At Geneva High School, students in the Culinary Arts Club recently baked cookies and brownies to raise money for the USO to buy goods for enlisted men and women. Terry Burns, student activities director, said they also were planning to gather the names of local residents serving in the military overseas and place service flags listing their names in one of the school's hallways.
Pupils at Summit Hill Junior High School in Frankfort are writing letters to relatives and friends in the military overseas and collecting personal-care items for them. The letters are being written in language arts and history classes and after school.
"It gives the students an opportunity to express a caring and concern for the young men and women who are facing some very difficult conditions," Acting Principal John Loecke said. "They feel really good about what they're doing, and that's a good feeling for kids to have."
Resendez and other veterans said such efforts can make a tremendous difference in morale for the troops, both as they face the adversity of war and after they return home. Such community support was virtually absent in the Vietnam War, and that dealt a cruel blow to the morale of the troops, they said.
"The biggest thing these kids are looking for is support from home," said Steve Plyman of Justice, who served as a helicopter crew chief and aeroscout in Vietnam from 1971 to 1972 and is a member of the Vietnam Helicopter Crew Members Association in Memphis.
"It [such support] would have given us the sense that we were being supported, that not everyone in the world hated us."

text: I have had the metal 5x7 for about three years, and I think it is a fine camera. No, it does not have geared movements (except front and rear focus, of course), but in all other respects is a fantastic light camera. It is highly backpackable, and will accept the new 6x17 roll film back if you want to do some panoramic chromes. Keith Canham is an absolute pleasure to deal with. In fact, I just got off of the phone with him a few moments ago. He never overpromises on delivery times, and he will always fix any problems very quickly. He doesn't use email too much, mostly because he is busy building cameras, I suspect. I would recommend giving him a phone call if you have any questions, or contact one of his dealers such as Fred Newman or Dennis Kibbe at www.viewcamerastore.com who have a more active 'web presence'. I am sure Fred would be glad to send you a brochure if you emailed him.

Group cleaning up roads around Columbia
COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) — Volunteers are fanning out in and around Columbia to help clean up some of the area's roadways.
On Saturday, volunteers from Keep the Midlands Beautiful are picking up litter from roads in Lexington and Richland counties. They'll also be cleaning up some places in the City of Columbia. Organizers warn drivers to slow down if they see crews along the side of the road.
The efforts are part of the Adopt-A-Highway and Adopt-A-Street Cleanup. If it rains on Saturday, the cleanup will be postponed until August 23.

Puck Talk with Nardwuar
Thomas Drance
November 19 2011 01:30PM
Last week I was lucky enough to get a chance to speak Nardwuar the human serviette. Nardwuar is known for his flashy style of dress, his unique sign off "Doot Doola Doot Doo... Doot Doot!" and his always entertaining interviews with rock stars and various other celebrities. Simply put, Nardwuar is something of a national treasure. He's also a massive Canucks fan, with some really funny hockey stories. What follows is the conversation we had:
Thomas Drance (aka Artem Chubarov): Hey Nardwuar, so who is your favorite current hockey player?
Nardwuar: Hullo-ho Artem! I guess my favorite current hockey player is Eric Nesterenko, my great, great uncle who played with the Blackhawks. He's still at it! He was actually at the award ceremony a few years ago when Chicago won the cup, he was brought in their because he won the cup with Chicago in 1961 and he's still athletic. I mean, he's still a ski instructor in Vail, and you can see him in the movie Youngblood – what more can you want?! So he's my favorite current hockey player, cause he's still doing it!
Highlights of #replacethekb Contest
The Stanchion
November 19 2011 01:26PM
(I wanted to end this with Nicolas Cage. But it's from Face/Off. So it works.)
After 3 long grueling weeks in which the #replacethekb contestants were forced to watch all the Minnesota Wild games from 2003, had to listen to Mark Messier do his lesser known poetry from back when he was out of his mind from having drunk from an unclean Stanley Cup ("A bat? A rat? Nay, a mat, it's flat. I sat. On a cat. Why am I so fat?"), and finally, having to wash all seventeen of Jason Botchford's Ferraris with toothbrushes (There were actually sixteen contestants, but one of us made the mistake of not cleaning the tires on Botch's 14th Ferrari. He hasn't been seen since), we have come to the finish line.
Now I know there was a lot of Canuck content being thrown the public's way these last three weeks, and I bet not everyone had a chance to read all the articles that were put out by the fine people of the #replacethekb contest. So I thought that it would be nice to pick one article from each contestant that I thought was really good, one that showcased the talents of the writer in question, and list them here for you guys. This way, if you didn't get a chance to read all of the articles, maybe you can find an article that you missed out on so you can see what we at the #replacethekb contest are all about.
Through The Looking Glass - Week Six
Yankee Canuck
November 19 2011 11:40AM
It's been a tale of two cities this week with two wildly different games: the 4-1 win against Grabner and the Islanders included a continuation of the #RomeForNorris bandwagon and even a David Booth sighting before the Hawks came to town and flexed their power play muscle en route to a 5-1 win.
The Great, Good and Bad of the Mike Gillis Era
Jeff Angus
November 18 2011 04:28PM
Not many people knew a whole lot about Mike Gillis when the Canucks hired him in the summer of 2008. The firing of Dave Nonis came as a bit of a shock, and the fan base wasn't given a whole lot of time to digest the move before Gillis came in as the replacement. In a little over three years, Gillis has managed to turn Vancouver into one of the most desirable destinations for players to play in the league. He has leveraged his experiences as an agent – he treats players fair, and he has been rewarded with some favourable hometown discounts (most notably from the Sedins, Kesler, and Burrows).

It's Friday. So we close out the "Week That Was" with our latest volume of Cheers and Jeers.
This week, I slam on Kesler and AV while doling out some shap to Marek + Wyshynski. Oh... and I take MYSELF down a peg.

In close consultation with local partners and prospective participants, this initiative engages with the issues of the Palestinians in Israel. We aim to foster inclusive internal dialogue among Palestinians in Israel to develop a strategic vision in order to impact policy-making in Israel and internationally. This group is particularly crucial at this time as Israeli society veers further to the right and discriminatory bills that directly affect and target Palestinian citizens of Israel are brought before the Knesset. Thus far, however, the Palestinian citizens of Israel have been overlooked by regional players, as well as by the international community. The issues of Palestinians in Israel, which inevitably go the heart of contradictions of the Israeli state as equal, inclusive and democratic, need to be firmly placed on international and local agendas of relevant parties.
The project revolves around research, smaller working groups, workshops, consultations with the community, and presentations from invited speakers. Bringing together a small but influential group of high-level thinkers from the Palestinian community inside Israel, the project builds on previous and current initiatives. What will be different about this project is that it aspires to transcend the sense of crisis the community feels by shaping an overarching strategic vision. This vision will be action-oriented and focused on how to move forward.
To learn more about how you can support this work, please click here.
The Palestinian Citizens of Israel project is supported by the Norwegian Foreign Ministry.

Got a minute?
Got a minute?
When it comes to your career, the only thing more valuable than your experience is your reputation. Unfortunately, the latter is much easier to tank than the former. After all, no matter how many times you lose your temper, you get to keep your CV.
Getting laid off isn't fun, but at least you have the comfort of hearing "it's not you, it's me," and collecting uncontested unemployment for a while. But what about when you lose your job under different circumstance? When you get fired, your first thought will be to panic. Don't do that -- or any of these things:
When it comes to your personal happiness, who you work for might be more important than what you actually do. The U.S. Department of Labor Statistics reports that 2 million people voluntarily leave their jobs each month, even with unemployment well above 7 percent, and a study from Accenture finds that 31 percent of those people quit because they didn't like their manager. Obviously, it behooves us to figure out, during the interview stage, whether a hiring manager will be a good or bad boss. But how can we tell?
Getting ready for a job interview can feel scarier than the worst final exam. You know you need to prepare, but there are so many things you could do ahead of time, and only so much time to do them in. Don't let the pre-interview stress melt your brain. Just follow these very simple steps, and that interview can turn into your first meeting with your new boss.
"Layoff" is arguably the scariest word in the English language for most workers, and never more so than during the past few years, when cuts abounded and new jobs were hard to find. But getting laid off can also be one of the best things that ever happened to you. It all depends on how you react in the days and weeks following your pink slip.
Every spring, alongside the finance folks and engineers, an entire crop of graduates flood the workforce armed with nothing but a degree that appears to be worth less than a place mat at the fast food restaurant where they are unqualified to work. So what do you do when your degree doesn't automatically qualify you for a career track? Brand yourself better.
What's worse than creating a resume? If you said, "writing a cover letter," you are both correct and also probably in the midst of a job search. Cover letters are famously hard to pull off. Get too creative, and you look overly eccentric; hew too closely to a template, and you look like a robot.
Thanks! We'll send you a welcome newsletter as soon as we can.

This is described as a pink/nude sheer, but I don't see any pink in this really. This leans much more peachy pink. It's very subtle but it doesn't look pink or peach.
I wanted to love this and give it 5 lippies but I can't. It's very streaky, uneven, doesn't level well, hard to work with, and it doesn't dry. It was still tacky after 24 hours. I have several dings and marks on my nails from normal wear during the 24 hours because it just never dried right.

Although like most similar shades of polish, this particular polish runs streaky I absolutely love it. It lasts a few days without chipping, but I do find that layering too much with this one causes it to chip more quickly. Then again, I work in a restaurant that worships the use of bleach so it may be the context of the situation rather than the product itself. Overall, it's shiny (on it's own) a beautiful, flattering pale pink that can be built up in a couple liberal coats to essentially opaque. I love this color (though it isn't that unique in broad terms, this one really is special for making your nails look fresh, not corpse-like and is simply pretty and fitting for people like me who love pale nudes.

Adore-A-Ball is described as a sheer, soft pink. Hmmm. I wouldn't exactly describe it as sheer since I'm wearing two coats and I can barely see the whites of my nails. The formula is thin and watery, but applies well. I didn't experience horrendous streaking. The wear....three days without chipping or cracking which I think is pretty good. Overall, this is a good polish, but I wouldn't re-buy it simply because the colour does not look good on me. My nails look like corpse nails. My skin tone is too warm for this pale polish.

I tried to love this color. I really did but...This is the streakiest polish I've used in a long time and I used 4 coats trying to get semi-opaque color. It's such a bad product and it cost nearly $8. I tried to return it to target but the lady said it was "supposed to be sheer". Seriously, it's supposed to be sheer? Anyway, if you want opacity try something else.

Adore-a-Ball is one of Essie's many sheer pale pinks. Like others polishes of this color, it runs a little streaky, but it's not very noticeable to others. It's a very cute color, and I'm glad I own it, but there are many just like it. If you can find it on sale (I actually found mine at the thrift store), definitely snatch it up. Otherwise, Wet n Wild's $2 Megalast line has a sheer pale pink called Sugar Coat that will work just as well.

This is my HG nail polish for hands. It is the perfect clean and bright milky nude/pink color . If you want a natural but still pretty color, this is it. its not too sheer either. I have medium tan olive skin (NC20) and this color just makes my nails look healthy, pretty and clean and its perfect. I have been repurchasing for a few years and will keep buying as long as they sell it! Essie polishes also last a good 5-6 days on my hands as well. Another great one is Essie's "Topless and barefoot" - that one is more opaque but still really pretty. Great polishes.

Wow. I just love it so much! I did find it streaky on a second coat but I prefer only one coat anyway so that wasn't a problem. It's the most beautiful sheer, pinky-nude color that makes my nails look even and shiny and yet still natural. I gave it only four stars because when I bought it I did expect it to be more opaque but I've fallen in love with the sheer-ness! I will definitely repurchase this because of how elegant and beautiful it is.

i work at abercrombie and fitch, we are not allowed any nail polish besides clear, but i was able to get away with this by applying one coat (and carefully hiding my nails around my store manager). it's such a pretty nude, yes the application is streaky, but it's a nice end result. i'm looking forward to trying ballet slippers and other essie nudes. also, i love the shape/design of the bottle :)

The perfect pale pink, less sheer than many pale pinks. No mauve undertones, just a pretty pink. The first coat can be a little streaky, but the streaks disappear with the second coat. Wears well. My year-round favorite, great for a summer pedi. No surprise that Adore-A-Ball is an Essie top ten!

I love soft/sheers, but like most of them Adore-A-Ball is prone to a bit of streaking. Not too bad, about average. I can work with it and the color is very pretty. Its milky sheer with a cool lilac undertone. I prefer to apply only one perfect sheer coat, as its the extra layers that look streaky. I'd like to try Allure (sheer warm white) East Hampton Cottage (opaque pale pink) or Blanc (opaque white) next.
Other Essie feminine shades I've tried:
Bisses and Kisses - perfect no streaking
Cafe Forgot - nailtips look yellowed like a hardened smoker
French Affair - gloopy, thick
Luscious Lips - extremely streaky
Marshmellow - streaky

Samantha Gore, Sales Manager for Brazil-based agents uv10.com, comments, "This official report is very encouraging and proves that the various economic and social policies implemented by President Rousseff and her predecessor Lula da Silva have been a runaway success. Brazil has created around 18 million jobs in the last decade and consumer spending is growing apace. Aside from cars, computers and smart phones, all massive growth sectors, middle and upper class Brazilians are now eyeing luxury holiday experiences and we're marketing the ideal hands-free investment for foreigners to cash in on this."
Intelligent Property Funding (IPF) is a relatively straightforward concept that delivers a high return at zero risk. Investors purchase a legally registered fraction of a completed holiday home in a luxurious five-star facilities-led resort near Natal, northeast Brazil, and take advantage of fixed annual returns of 16% alongside a guaranteed buy-back at the end of term – between four and ten years.
Samantha continues, "In today's climate real estate investment can come with inherent risks with regards to exit strategy and rental returns. With IPF that risk is eliminated and clients need only find 34,000 Reais or 10,300 Pounds to participate. Stay invested for six years and your money is doubled and capital returned. The developer has already sold more than 500 holiday packages to aspirational middle class families proving that the demand is there and this fractional investment model works."
To take part in IPF clients must buy at least one quota for 34,000 Reais, a quota being a 12th of the property, which is then registered at the notary in their name. For their commitment investors receive an annual fixed yield of 6.5% as well as a final pay out of capital invested plus a capital gain of 9.5% per year invested – together this adds up to a cash annual return of 16%. Property management costs are borne by the tourism company, International Residence Club.
The beach and riverside village, set in Pium, just a ten minute coastal drive to Natal's famous Ponta Negra Beach, is made up exclusively of three bedroom villas alongside extensive well thought-out facilities. Shared amongst the 48 homes are tennis and volleyball courts, a football pitch, two swimming pools, a kayaking and fishing area, gymnasium and a Japanese Zen-style Spa. The community is gated with 24 hour patrolled security alongside a concierge and butler service for guests. Wi-fi and a SKY TV package are also on hand. Arranged over 100m², the semi-detached villas are light and airy with vaulted hardwood ceilings, three bedrooms, two bathrooms and private garden areas alongside off-street parking. The resort is fully operational and welcomed its first guests in July of this year.

Matthews, Woodson among Packers out for Sunday
McCarthy confirmed Alex Green would be the starter at running back after Starks suffered his injury in the last game.
Green, a second-year player, had been splitting carries with Starks the last few games. Before that, Green was the primary back in a three-game stretch after Cedric Benson suffered what turned out to be a season-ending foot injury in early October.
"It's a blessing to get a second chance to make a first impression again. That's rare," said Green, who leads the team with 360 rushing yards.
Veteran Ryan Grant also will see action in the backfield after the team re-signed him earlier this week.
If McCarthy gets his wish for a snow game Sunday night, he could be compelled to take a long look at Grant. He ran for Packers postseason records of 201 yards and three touchdowns on a snow-covered Lambeau turf in their rout of Seattle in the 2007 divisional playoffs.
"He plays well in the snow. History would tell you that," McCarthy said. "I'm comfortable with Ryan Grant."
Notes: Packers DE Mike Neal didn't practice this week and is doubtful for Sunday. But McCarthy said the news on Neal's injured shoulder from the last game was better than what team personnel initially feared. If Lang and Neal aren't cleared, the Packers would be down to six offensive linemen and four defensive linemen healthy enough for the game. Making a roster move this weekend to provide depth at one or both position groups is possible, McCarthy said. . Green is looking forward to potentially playing in snow for the first time. The West Coast native played in college at Hawaii and missed the final two months of his rookie season with the Packers last year because of a knee injury. "It's one thing I looked forward to when I was being drafted here - we play in the snow," said Green, a third-round pick. "I know that's a big thing around here."

We have been looking long and hard at the figures, the spec, the mpg the mph and all the other bits and bobs to bring you our top 10, please let us know if you feel we have missed something, we will start with the small cars and work our way up. Click on the picture of the car for a more in-depth review.
Skoda Citigo
The three door Skoda Citigo is the best value car on the Scheme, if you just need a small runaround it is perfect, boot capacity is an excellent 251 litres and you can even squeeze two 'agile' friends in the back. There is not much in the way of creature comforts with the entry level car, you will have to wind the manual windows down as there is no air con and lock the car using the key as remote central locking is an extra, but you do get a radio and cd player, moving to the SE trim adds such luxuries but will take £2.25 per week more of your allowance. The 60bhp 1.0 litre five speed manual petrol engine can return 62.8 miles per gallon.
Spring Best Buy – Skoda Citigo 3 door 1.0 petrol 'S' 60bhp manual – £45.75 Per Week (you receive £11.70 mobility payment per week)
Renault Clio
The Renault Clio is a super stylish five door small car, the rear doors have concealed handles to improve the look of the car. Similar in size to the Ford Fiesta, Vauxhall Corsa, Kia Rio and the Volkswagen Polo. All Clio's are loaded with equipment including a built in 7″ touchscreen Sat nav and audio controller. The 1.5 litre diesel used across the Renault and Nissan cars has received rave reviews and reports are that the claimed 83 miles per gallon is almost achievable. The 1.5 diesel is available as an automatic for £56.75 per week.
Spring Best Buy – Renault Clio 1.5dci diesel Dynamique 5dr Manual – £54.50 per week (You receive £3.25 per week of mobility payment)
Nissan Juke
The Nissan Juke takes the five door funky car award over the Renault Captur, Mini Countryman, Citroen DS4, Peugeot 2008 and Vauxhall Mokka. The Juke is a wonderful looking creation, if a tad aggressive for some tastes, which really breaks the mold of small car design in that its as fun to look at as it is to drive. The new 1.5 litre diesel packs a punch and can return 76.3 miles per gallon. In Acenta premium trim the Juke has as standard NissanConnect sat nav and reversing camera 17″ alloy wheels, climate control and cruise control, for heated leather seats the Tekna is the choice. The CVT automatic on the 1.6 petrol start at Nil Advance Payment offers a competitive automatic choice.
Spring Best Buy – Nissan Juke 1.5 110 Diesel Acenta (6 speed Manual) – Nil Advance Payment (£57.57 wpms)
Mazda 3
The Mazda 3 is a five door hatchback and a four door saloon. This is a car that knocks the spots off the Volkswagen Golf and Ford Focus when it comes to looks, the long bonnet and sweeping lines give it a sporty yet commanding feel. Mazda fits a seven-inch tablet-style touchscreen as standard across the range along with air conditioning, all electric windows and 16″ alloy wheels. The non turbo petrol engines can return up to 55.4 miles per gallon and are sprightly to drive.
Spring Best Buy –Mazda 3 Hatchback SE 'Nav' 2.0 (120 bhp) Petrol Manual Hatchback – Nil Advance Payment (£57.57 wpms) or £199 as Fastback (£58.91 wpms)
Mercedes A Class
The super styled A Class edges out the BMW 1 series and Audi A3 for value. SE and Sport versions are available, the SE has 16? alloy wheels, a 12-button leather multi-function steering wheel, air conditioning, four electric windows and externally chrome strips complete the understated look the Sport offers twin exhaust pipes and 17′ two tone allow wheels, the 1.5 and 1.8 litre diesels badged as A180 and A200 are precise and engaging offering power and economy, the smaller offering 74.3 mpg and the larger offering 0-62 in 9.3 seconds while still returning 62.8 mpg.
Spring Best Buy – Mercedes A-Class A180 CDI Diesel SE Manual – £899 Advance Payment (£64.16 wpms)
Ford Focus
The Ford Focus is the perfect all rounder, the new 1.5 litre Diesel engine with 120bhp is able to return 74.3 mpg while still propel the focus to 62 miles per hour in 10.5 seconds. In Titanium Nav trim you get start button, dual zone climate control, 8″ touchscreen audio and sat nav and cruise control. Despite reductions in the price of the Volkswagen Golf the Focus just has the edge on value for a manual and if you need an automatic the 1.6 petrol focus with the excellent powershift automatic gearbox is available without an advance payment but is a tad thirsty at a claimed 44.8 miles per gallon. Also consider the Honda Civic, the Seat Leon or the Hyundai i30.
Spring Best Buy – Ford Focus hatchback Titanium Navigator 1.5 diesel 120hp manual – £95 Advance Payment (£57.88 wpms) or £195 Advance Payment as an estate (£58.55 wpms)
Vauxhall Astra Estate
The Astra Sports Wagon (estate) may not have the largest boot in the class at 500 litres, the Skoda Octavia Estate offers 610, or be the newest model with the best mpg, the Seat Leon ST can return 74.3 miles per gallon, but it offers the most powerful engine, a 165bhp 2.0 litre diesel that car hit 62mph in under 10 seconds and still return 60.1 miles per gallon. The Astra Sports Wagon in Elite trim offers luxury beyond its price tag – heated electrically powered front seats, leather upholstery, 17″ alloys, dual zone climate control, automatic wipers and lights and Vauxhall also throw in free front and rear parking sensors, (normally a £395 extra). The six speed Automatic Elite is £399 but the mpg dips to 50.4 mpg.
Spring Best Buy – Vauxhall Astra Elite 2.0 diesel (165bhp) manual Sport Wagon (estate) – £49 Advance Payment (£57.90 wpms)
Citroen C4 Cactus
Citroen have done what they do best, throw away the car design rulebook, the Cactus is a little bonkers and we love it. 7″ touch screen controller, roof mounted airbags, bump bags on the side, no gear lever for the automatics. Citroen, with the Cactus, have come up with a car that is very 'now' in both looks and technology equipment. The Cactus is not a people carrier in the vein of the C4 Picasso but a fun, head turner in the ilk of the Nissan Juke and Renault Captur.
Spring Best Buy – Citroen C4 Cactus 1.6 Diesel 100bhp Manual 'Flair' – £295 Advance Payment (£59.89 wpms)
Nissan Qashqai
The new Nissan Qashqai, awarded Car of the year from What Car for 2014, is 49mm longer, 15mm lower and 20mm wider yet 40kg lighter. The boot capacity increases by 20 litres to 430 as does front headroom due to repositioned seats The level of equipment with the Acenta (with Smart pack) trim is excellent; as standard the car has Bluetooth connectivity, LED running lights, cruise control, 17-inch alloys, automatic lights and wipers, dual-zone air-conditioning and all-round parking sensors. The updated 110bhp 1.5-litre diesel engine with a six speed manual gearbox, emits just 99g/km of CO2 and returns a claimed 74.3mpg with a top speed of 112mph and a 0-62 mph time of 12.4 seconds, making it a perfect everyday car and slightly ahead of the competition in the Hyundai ix35, Skoda Yeti, Peugeot 3008 and the delightful but slightly overpriced Kia Sportage
Spring Best Buy – Qashqai 1.2 (115bhp) petrol Acenta with smart vision pack (Manual) – £149 Advance Payment (£58.58 wpms)
Vauxhall Meriva
The Vauxhall Meriva is the best small MPV this quarter, edging out the Citroen C3 Picasso , the Kia Venga, the Nissan Note (best automatic choice), the Ford C-Max and the stylish Kia Soul. The Meriva has the eye-catching flexdoor system, the rear doors are hinged at the back, so it's easier to get children or disabled adults into the rear seats, The Meriva is a good looking car with room in abundance. The Tech Line trim offers heated front seats and steering wheel, 17″ alloy wheels, front and rear parking distance sensors, front fog lights and Bluetooth connectivity for a smart phone. The super new 1.6 litre with 136bhp can return 64.2 miles per gallon while still have enough grunt to pull the Meriva to 120 miles per hour and 0-62 in 10.4 seconds.
Spring Best Buy – Vauxhall Meriva Tech Line 1.6 Diesel (136PS) manual – £49 Advance Payment(£57.90 wpms)
Vauxhall Insignia
The newly upgraded Insignia may look the same from the outside but a wonderful new diesel engine has been added together with some super driver comforts. The Design Nav trim includes an 8″ touch screen information centre that controls the audio, sat nav and bluetooth connected phone. The all new two litre diesel engine with start-stop has either 120 or 140 bhp and claimed economy of 76.3 miles per gallon and a CO2 output of only 99g, but the green credentials do not lead to a loss of power, the 120bhp unit is good for 121 miles per hour and 0-62 in 11.9 seconds, the 140bhp version can reach 127 miles per hour and 0-62 in 10.5 seconds.
Spring Best Buy – Vauxhall Insignia hatchback or Estate 'Tech Line Nav' 2.0 diesel 140 bhp 6 speed manual – £149 Advance Payment (£58.58 wpms)
Peugeot Partner Tepee
Whilst it may not have the most catchy name, nor head turning looks this van based car is just amazing, more room than you could ever imagine, amazing access through the rear sliding doors and a massive boot as well as enough cubby holes to keep you guessing where you put things. A design classic. The Diesel engine is economical (55.3 miles per gallon) and surprisingly fun to drive, 0-62 in 12 seconds. The Tepee's sister car, the Citroen Berlingo, is available with seven seats for £295 or in 'Plus' trim with a 90bhp diesel engine for Nil Advance Payment.
Spring Best Buy – Peugeot Partner Tepee Outdoor 1.6 diesel (115 bhp) Manual – £99 Advance Payment (£58.24 wpms)
Citroen C4 Grand Picasso
Citroen have drawn on its heritage and added a modern style for the new Grand Picasso, from the C shaped rear lights and high level front LED's to the wrap around tailgate and natty car length roof rail, this is a car that has been designed with style in mind and it does not disappoint. The VTR+ model comes with cruise control, start stop engine button, LED running lights 16? alloy wheels, reversing sensors, DAB radio, electronic heated mirrors, front fog lights, automatic headlights and windscreen wipers and climate control. The 1.6 litre diesel is available with 90 or 115bhp, the larger can pull the Grand Picasso to 62 miles per hour in 12.1 seconds and on to a top speed of 117 miles per hour and return a claimed 70.6 miles per gallon, this engine is available as a six speed manual or 6 speed single clutch semi-automatic. Competition comes in the form of the Ford S-Max, the Vauxhall Zafira Tourer (best Automatic Choice), Peugeot 5008 and Volkswagen Touran.
Spring Best Buy – Citroen C4 Grand Picasso 1.6 Diesel 115bhp Manual VTR+ or Selection – £295 Advance Payment (£59.56 wpms) or £695 as Exclusive (£62.24 wpms)
Nissan Leaf Electric Car
The Nissan Leaf is the green choice as it produces zero emissions as all the power comes from the electric motor powered by batteries hidden under the rear seats, The Leaf is comfortable carrying a family and there is lots of power from the 107bhp motor, obviously the fact that the car needs recharging every time you need to do a trip is the major issue but if you can fit the Leaf into your life then you will be rewarded with economy equating to 333 miles per gallon. The Toyota Yaris Hybrid has both a petrol and electric motor working side by side that can return 80 miles per gallon without range or charging issues as the batteries are charged as you drive the car.
Spring Best Buy – Nissan Leaf Full Electric Car (Automatic) Acenta – £499 Advance Payment (£60.93 wpms)
Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV
With its twin electric motors supported by a 2.0 litre petrol engine the Mitsubishi PHEV leads the way in Plugin Hybrid technology. The full size SUV has 436 litres of boot space and can comfortably seat five, has all wheel drive and the ability to travel purely on electric power. The official figures of 148 miles per gallon may be out of reach but if regularly charged the PHEV can be a very cost effective way to get through the British winter.
Spring Best Buy – Mitsibushi Outlander PHEV 'GX3h' 4 Wheel Drive Automatic – £1499 Advance Payment (£488 wpms)

(Albuquerque, NM) A recent Brigham Young University study examined the research productivity of accounting departments and faculty from universities around the world by measuring the number of publications that appeared in 11 elite academic accounting journals over a span of 20 years.
Over this period of time, Anderson ranked first in the world for publications that focus on financial accounting using qualitative methods, fourth in the world across all topics using qualitative methods, and 88/670 for total publications in these journals.
Dr. Craig White, Anderson's Accounting Department Chair, says these rankings reflect the recognition of the quality of the department's faculty among accounting educators, both national and international. This quality translates into ongoing educational value for UNM accounting students.
