Panama City
If you're looking for inexpensive cosmopolitan living—but with many of the conveniences you'd expect in New York, Miami, or any other major First-World city—you owe it to yourself to take a serious look at Panama City.
Panama City boasts a skyline of skyscrapers, modern office buildings, condo complexes and hotels of shining glass and steel, with world-class views of the Bay of Panama. The city is a major international commerce and banking hub, home to more than 80 of the world's largest banks, scores of international non-profits, and giant multi-nationals such as Federal Express, Dell, 3M, and many more.
In the city and the surrounding communities, your international phone calls go through the first time, every time. High-speed Internet is the norm, rather than the exception. Power and water service are reliable and every amenity you could possibly want is within easy grasp.
Panama City is also fast becoming one of the world's leading culinary destinations with eateries of every variety offering high-quality, fresh fare for much less than it would cost stateside.
Expats are attracted here thanks to its first-class health care and thriving property market that lends to a viable yet luxurious way of life in Panama City.

Panama: The Best Country in the World to Retire
Panama takes the top spot in InternationalLiving.com's 2016 Annual Global Retirement Index. Months of research goes into compiling this Index and InternationalLiving.com's editors are helped by their large team of expat contributors based around the world, who help collect the data and offer input used to identify, rank, rate, compare, and contrast the very best retirement destinations in the world.
El Valle: Panama's Lush, Green, Mountain Town
In a place where even the picket fences sprout leaves, you just know the soil has to be good. Known as Panama's fertile valley, the tiny town of El Valle is a world of green. Lushly carpeted mountains surround the flat crater town. The green is punctuated here and there with bright bursts of crepe-like bougainvillea. The tropical reds and oranges almost seem odd in a place this cool and breezy. Thanks to an elevation of about 2,000 feet, El Valle is typically a comfortable 70 F to 80 F, with noontime temperatures rarely above 85 F.
Three Must-See Cultural Sites in Panama City
With a vibrant cultural scene, Panama's capital is a wellspring that's well worth exploring. In Panama City, you have so much to choose from that whether you're into art, architecture, gourmet cuisine—or anything else—you'll find plenty to keep you occupied. Best of all, this surprising city is filled with contrasts. Small colonial gems and skyscrapers with cutting-edge designs…hidden galleries and state-of-the-art museums…centuries-old ruins and more modern wonders, too.
"I Spend 40% Less in Panama City Than if I Lived in the U.S."
As night begins to fall, strings of lights twinkle above my head. The temperature drops 10 degrees to about 78 F…absolutely perfect. The open rooftop terrace of Panama City's Tantalo Hotel is a fantastic place to enjoy the cool evening breeze. Not to mention the colonial architecture of Casco Viejo, one of Panama's oldest (and most romantic) quarters.
The Best of Both Worlds For This City and Beach Lover
Weekends, Rita Sosa tends to spend at her beach house, just over an hour's drive from Panama City. "Our house is literally on the beach," says Rita. "When I go up there, I just go to relax and swim. I'm very happy to sit and read a book outside and not do a whole lot of anything. It's so great to have beach weather 12 months a year, and I love the tropical greenery.
The Perfect Climate for Business and Fun…in Panama
Moving to Panama was "a bit of an adventure" for expat James Bloomfield. "When I first moved to the capital, I was out exploring nearly every weekend," he says. He fell for the coastal area of Pedasi, just 200 miles west of Panama City. It's a region of pristine, uncrowded beaches and abundant waters just teeming in tuna, wahoo, dorado, and more.
Mountains, Beaches and Vibrant Cities—Panama Has it All (Part Two)
The highlands in the breadbasket province of Chiriquí attract expats from around the globe. Boquete and Volcán are favored destinations here, with temperatures ranging from about 65 F to 86 F. Folks are drawn to the perfect climate, with plenty of sunshine despite frequent afternoon showers.
An Adventure on the Panama Canal
Slowly the walls rise above us, hemming us in as our vessel sinks into the depths. Barn-sized doors of riveted steel loom above us as valves open and siphon the water away. With a clank, the doors crack open, widening to reveal another chamber. We sail in, feeling as though we're in a gigantic bathtub…
Finding the Perfect Retirement in Panama
If you've been researching places around the world to retire, you may have noticed that Panama keeps showing up in lists of top spots. And with good reason. I've been living in Chiriquí Province in western Panama for the past six years. So I can tell you, there are plenty of reasons why Panama keeps taking those high honors.
Making Friends and Enjoying Beach Life in Panama
Though Panama boasts two coasts and hundreds of islands, there's a region on the Pacific that really stands out in terms of climate. Known as the Arco Seco, or Dry Arc, the Coronado region gets more sunshine than nearly any other place in the country.
A Tropical Retirement in Panama for $1,000 a Month
Lying in the Arco Seco, little Las Tablas is Panama at its best. This town of under 30,000 people lies on the Azuero Peninsula, a region renowned for everything from colorful Carnival celebrations to artisanal textiles, pottery, and leatherwork. Life in this region of Panama is good. It is graced with more sunny days and less humidity than any other part of the country. And the cost of living is the lowest in Panama: Here, a couple can easily live on $1,000 a month, including rent, as expats Joyclyn and Armand Brodeur have found out. Originally from St. Louis, the Brodeurs came to Las Tablas in August 2014 to test-drive their Panama retirement, so to speak. Armand, 66, and Joyclyn, 59, long yearned for a tropical, beach lifestyle. At the same time, they wanted to choose a place where it was possible to live on a social security check.
"A Lifestyle We Could Never Afford in the U.S."
"Florida was nice but boring," Maryann Risley says of her retirement to Orlando with husband, Steve. After all, "you can only visit Disney World so many times." The couple craved some excitement and some new adventure, so they began to research retirement abroad. "I found IL magazine and started to read about the benefits of retiring in Panama," Maryann says.
Whales, Villages, and Big City Living
Anne Gordon de Barrigón didn't want to come to Panama the first time she was invited. "But it was a period of transition in my life and I was restless," she recalls. "So my friend convinced me and I just fell in love with the country and the people. I knew it was the right place for me and I've been here ever since." That was in 2004. Today Anne, age 57, lives in the leafy and tranquil Ancon neighborhood of Panama City with her husband and together they own and operate whale-watching and indigenous village tours.
Pick Your Perfect Climate in Panama
In Panama, you can choose where you want to live based solely on the climate you want. The fact surprises a lot of people. "Isn't Panama a tropical country, lying so close to the equator?" Well, yes, it is, but here's the thing…because of the wide range of elevations, it offers an amazing choice of climates. Suppose you're a beach lover, seeking the warmth of the sun, balmy breezes tinged with salty humidity, and long stretches of sandy shoreline facing nothing but endless ocean to the horizon.
A Warm Climate, Stunning Views, and Gaps in the Market
"I came to Panama 10 years ago on vacation and never left," says Carl Conway. "I was drawn in by the sunshine and blue skies…the warm water and sandy beaches…the palm trees and bright flowers…it was a tropical paradise." Now age 43, Carl enjoys a rich and laidback life in the rural town of Santa Fe in Veraguas Province of central Panama.
The Pleasures of Part-Time Life in Panama
When my husband, Gary, and I retired part-time to Panama it was to escape bleak Canadian winters. We spend the summer months in Canada and when the first snows come, we fly south. Panama, with its magnificent beaches and warm climate offers daily sunshine…inexpensive living…and leisurely hours just sitting on our terrace watching the iguanas and the birds. If we want to venture forth we can hop in our car and tour the countryside, walk near the village of Cerro Punta in the high country, browse the marvellous and modern library in Boquete, or attend the delightful flea market near Dolega.
From New York to Panama: Glamorous Living For Less
Film editor and producer Sarah Tyler was living in New York when she decided she was ready to say goodbye to grueling winters. "I also wanted the experience of traveling abroad and practicing Spanish," she says. Sarah now lives in Panama City's Casco Viejo sector, where she feels at home among the cobbled streets and colonial plazas that she loves. "It's a neighborhood known for its beauty and historical value," says Sarah. "There's a great bohemian vibe thanks to the people that live and visit here—artists, wayfaring travelers, investors, and entrepreneurs from all over the world."
The Glitter and Pageantry of Retirement in Panama
If you love boisterous, colorful celebrations, folklore, and pageantry you will love retirement in Panama. Panamanians work hard and play hard; they have music in their souls. They're happy, gregarious folks who love to set aside their cares and woes and "party hearty." You'll find arguably more formal opportunities to celebrate in Latin America than anywhere else on earth.
A Little Bit of Magic in El Valle, Panama
There's a magical mountain town waiting for you to discover it. To get there, you turn off a busy highway onto an easy-to-miss little road that snakes up into the mountains. A couple hours ago, you were in a cosmopolitan capital studded with skyscrapers…but now you're enveloped in a green rainforest cocoon. It feels a million miles away from the hurry of the city…
Panama: Your Perfect Retirement Within Reach
Panama is a small country that packs in a lot. From the vibrant social scene of Panama City—with its multitude of bars and fine dining at affordable costs—to the peaceful mountain serenity of Chiriquí province and the tropical paradise of Bocas del Toro, this retirement haven can cater to any lifestyle and budget. As if Panama's low cost of living weren't enough of an incentive to move here, the country's comprehensive pensionado program enables you to get discounts on just about everything, from restaurants to entertainment to health care.
A Snowbird Life in Sunny Panama
I'm a Canadian. I'm used to long, cold winters. But a few years back, my husband Gary and I had had enough. I refuse to spend my precious retirement years shoveling snow and huddled in front of my fireplace…not to mention donning layers of clothing from top to toe just to venture outside. And so each and every fall, we say goodbye to block heaters…snow shovels…hats, scarves, and outrageous heating bills…and head to Panama's warmer climes.
Historic Panama—for Less than $1,600 a Month
Perhaps best known for its extravagant Carnaval celebration, Las Tablas is the center of Panama's folkloric culture. Though not well known to North Americans, Panamanians flock here regularly, particularly to the two annual festivals that are held each year to honor the pollera, the national dress. But folklore is just the start of what this friendly little town has to offer. In-the-know expats have been coming here for several years. They come from all over—we've met residents from Europe, South America, the U.S., and Canada.
Panama City's Best Neighborhoods
When I started apartment hunting in Panama City almost a decade ago, I thought I knew what neighborhood I wanted to live in: the ritzy International Banking District, where the tallest skyscrapers face the sparkling Panama Bay. The area had undeniable cachet, and everyone I knew was living there. The district is in the heart of downtown, where you'll find the best hotels, restaurants, shops, and more. Since 2009, new pedestrian walkways, green areas, and recreation facilities line the bay. On any given day you'll see people jogging, buying fruit, or just sitting and enjoying the pleasant atmosphere.
Sun, Sea, and Opportunity in One Country
Rosalind Baitel, 54, is bi-coastal. And by that I don't mean she subjects herself to long flights to shuttle back and forth between expensive, crowded cities like New York and L.A. "We go to the beach most every weekend…it's so close that even if we can't stay the entire weekend, we can go for the day." An hour and 40 minutes gets her from Panama City on the Pacific shore to the brilliant blue waters of the Caribbean. What she loves most about Panama City is that it's a world capital…with amenities and entertainment to rival many of the world's great cities.
Why Isn't Everyone Flocking to the Beach Town of Coronado?
I'm walking barefoot on volcanic sand that sparkles like diamonds in the sun…and the only sound I can hear is the soothing crash of waves on the shore. There's no music or shouting from vacationers or revelers to break the silence…and I don't have to step around chairs or towels or anything else. In fact, I have the beach almost to myself. There's a girl jogging up ahead, and that's it for today. You see, on Panama's Coronado Beach, huge resorts don't line the shoreline. There's a small one a few minutes' drive from the water, which also serves as a country club for the golfing enthusiasts who live here. But besides that, there are surprisingly few inns and hotels to be found.
There's a Reason Panama Keeps Topping the Lists
I've worked with International Living for 14 years, and I've seen a lot of lists of the best places on earth to retire. I don't remember a single one that didn't have Panama either at the top or in the top five. Of course, for my wife, Suzan, and me, Panama has some special appeal. We lived in Panama City for a while and toured most of the country. Also, our granddaughter's mother is Panamanian, so an entire side of our family is there.
Live in Pine-Clad Mountains Close to Panama City
On the balcony of a Swiss-style cottage in Cerro Azul, I'm looking out over the mountains. The air is damp and cool—about 70 F—and there are thin wisps of mist around the hilltops. The land is densely populated with trees, most of them evergreens. It's surprising, since I've just come from Panama City, where you'll find tropical palms. So far I've seen hummingbirds and owl butterflies, smelled resinous pine and exotic jasmine, and heard the roar of howler monkeys in the distance. It couldn't be more different from the sea-level city just under an hour's drive from here. In fact, I'm reminded of where I grew up, in Oregon.
Find Your Paradise in Panama
Over the years, Panama has built up a well-deserved reputation as a world-class retirement haven. In the pensionado program, it offers the most comprehensive array of retirement benefits to be found anywhere in the world; 30% off public transport, 50% off entertainment, 20% off medical consultations and much, much more. But there's a lot more to being a pensionado in Panama than retirement benefits. The country blends modernity with some of the lowest cost of living to be found anywhere; expect to pay a fraction of what you would at home for quality real estate and everyday items.
Dolega: One of Panama's Most Affordable Retirement Towns
There are many low-cost places to retire to in Panama. For those who enjoy the slower pace of rural living, Chiriquí Province, where I live, offers a delightful climate, easy convenience, and a quality lifestyle in an affordable retirement destination. While the city of David offers all the amenities of a good-sized city and the town of Boquete is a favored expat haven, some of the smaller towns in the area combine access to these desirable features with a lower cost of living. Dolega is one such small town in Chiriquí Province in western Panama. The four-lane highway that runs north and south between David and Boquete runs right through Dolega, so it's easy to find. A new pedestrian overpass marks the main turnoff into town, at the Municipal Palace, shaded by a gigantic mango tree. Dolega is the administrative seat of the district of the same name, which encompasses a total of nine towns such as Los Anastacios, Dos Rios, Los Algarrobos and Potrerillos.
Explore the Panama Canal by Boat
This year marks the centennial of the opening of the Panama Canal, and celebrations are taking place throughout the year. The first boat to make the ocean-to-ocean transit of the canal was the SS Ancon on Aug. 15, 1914. Most visitors who come to Panama make a point of seeing the canal, usually at the Miraflores Locks just outside of Panama City, or the Gatun Locks, just west of Colon city. Personally, I can think of no better way to honor and enjoy this wonder of the modern world than to see it at eye level and take a boat trip on the Panama Canal. The complete transit takes about nine hours, passing through three sets of locks. There are a number of ways to do this, and no matter which one you choose it will be a memorable experience.
IL's Calendar of Events: Live a Life of Luxury in Ecuador
Ecuador offers sophisticated historical cities…miles of unspoiled, sun-kissed beaches…fertile farmland…and temperate mountain hideaways…and all of it for pennies on the dollar. You can live well for a fraction of the cost of living back in the U.S. And with Ecuador's official currency the U.S. dollar, you needn't worry about currency calculations or exchange risks. And real estate costs? They're among the lowest we've found anywhere in the world.
Where to Dock Your Boat: Panama's Best Marinas
Before settling in David in western Panama in 2009, I lived aboard my sailboat, Carina, for 16 years. My husband and I sailed the western Caribbean and we still have many friends among the cruising community. Although Panama has miles of coastline, it has few marine facilities for small boats. If you're looking for a safe harbor to dock your boat in Panama, here are the stand-out marinas to visit.
The Best Places To Vacation In Panama
After eight years as Panama Editor for International Living, you'd think writing about the best places to vacation in Panama would be a cinch. But there are so many great places to vacation in Panama that it's hard to narrow it down to just a few. In fact, I'm constantly adding new favorites to my list.
They Give Retirees More in Panama
Ten years ago, I left the U.S. in search of a new adventure with my husband, Al—a decision that led us to the city of David in the province of Chiriquí, Panama. Al and I have spent time in Mexico, Guatemala, Costa Rica, Belize, Nicaragua, El Salvador, and Honduras since leaving the U.S. but, for many reasons, Panama won out as our retirement destination. Chiriquí Province is beautiful. It's the country's farming province, all rolling hills lined with fields where you'll find pineapples, papaya, rice, coffee plantations, and orange groves.
"This Part of Panama City Is Perfect"
"We spent about five years researching good retirement destinations before actually moving to Panama," says Bill Hamilton who moved with his wife Mieke to the country's capital city. "I'm the type of person to look up every single thing…crime rates, politics, cost of living, real estate, health care…and Panama City kept popping up in my research as the best option across the board." Though in their 60s and already retired from previous careers, the Hamiltons made the decision to move in order to take a stab at running the Balboa Inn, a nine-room B&B in Panama City.
The Best Beach Community in Panama
"We were frustrated with extremely long, cold winters, high Canadian taxes, and we were weary of the rat race." So says Denise Patrick, who—along with her husband Neil—moved to the beach community of Coronado—just 90 minutes from Panama City. The couple first fell in love with Coronado when they spent a vacation there in November 2010—so much so, in fact, that they decided on the flight home to sell their house and belongings.
Cashing in on Other People's Cast-Offs
Getting into retail without having to invest in stock is a great way to cut down on your initial investment and more quickly make a profit. And it can be very easy. Consignment shopping fits right into that mold. And, as a very American concept, there's not a lot of competition for it in other parts of the world. If you're gathering what others don't want—and finding a market for it—you have a good business model for short-term or long-term retailing. Essentially, with a consignment store you offer a space for others to sell their items in exchange for a cut of the money when the product sells.
Walk Everywhere in Panama City's Best Neighborhood
To live the big city life for less and enjoy a world-class retirement look no farther than the San Francisco neighborhood of Panama City. I chose to live in San Francisco because of its walkability, its amenities, and just how close it is to the kind of action that makes for a great city life…and from gourmet delis to evenings at the opera, I enjoyed every minute.
Enjoying Retirement in Rural Panama
This year, Panama holds the number one spot in International Living's Annual Global Retirement Index. Being a retiree in Panama myself, I agree that it's a great place to retire. The word for retirees in Spanish is "jubilados." I've always loved that, because to me it sounds like "jubilant" and shouldn't we all be jubilantly happy in our old age? In Panama, jubilados are treated with respect and receive special benefits due to their elder status.
A Big Question About Living Overseas
"Won't you miss your family and friends if you move overseas?" That's a question we at IL get asked a lot, and the answer is… "Of course you will." It's something my husband Dan and I have experience of. We didn't think about it too much when we moved to Ecuador back in 2001. With the exception of Dan's mother, none of our family—my parents and our siblings—lived in the same city as we did.

Intentional Interim Ministry is a focused approach for guiding congregations through transitions. The loss of a long-term pastor, misconduct, death of a leader, conflict, the need to clarify mission in changing circumstances ... these and other challenges may confront congregations in the time between regularly-called pastors. Dealing with such unfinished business during the interim time helps prepare a congregation for a successful ministry with its next called pastor.
Intentional Interim Ministry is not simply maintenance ministry while the Call Process unfolds. It is ministry with specific "intentions" to be accomplished - goals identified by a synod/district process, by an intervention team, or by the congregation's own leaders. Over the past three decades, and Interim Process has been developed and shaped for bridging, in a highly productive way, the time between called pastors.
In 2014 the National Association of Lutheran Interim Pastors celebrated the 20th anniversary of its founding by a small group of visionary interim pastors. An important component of their dream was to produce interim training curriculum that would include a specifically Lutheran focus and a connection to our national church structure and policy. That vision has now borne fruit. NALIP is pleased to announce upcoming educational opportunities for Lutheran intentional Interim Ministry.
Six-month program, three sequential phases
The NALIP Basic Education curriculum is designed to introduce clergy and lay professionals to the practice of intentional interim ministry. Although focusing on Lutheran theology and polity, the event is open to all lay leaders and clergy desiring and/or called to this special ministry in congregations during a pastoral transition.
This course is designed in three phases (Planting, Cultivating, and Harvesting) covering a period of about six months. The first and third phases are in-residence, beginning at 1:00 p.m. on Monday and concluding at noon on Friday with a total of at least 60 contact hours.
Phase I (Planting) is a residential week focusing on the theory, theology, leadership skills and congregational systems related to intentional interim ministry. We examine the interim journey through scenarios (propositional learning) including the dynamics of entry, pre-entry, stages and tasks of the congregation, emotional systems, conflict, grief, power structures, and leadership skills necessary to lead the congregation, and exiting/closure issues.
Phase II (Cultivating) is a six month experience in a parish or institutional setting, ideally in a leadership transition, in which the participant in this program "puts into practice" the material learned in Phase I. During this time, you will learn contracting (covenanting), work on personal learning goals, and write two critical incident reports, all under the supervisor of your chosen fieldwork supervisor.
Phase III (Harvesting) is the second residential week in which through a group process you will share one of your critical incident reports, review material learned in Phase I, and learn more about the dynamics of congregations in pastoral transition, and your leadership skills and needs. You will also discuss the biblical and theological connections in this special ministry as specifically related to the Lutheran church.
Note: Participants are responsible for securing a situation in which to complete Phase II fieldwork requirements. While most participants in the program will have a ministry site, some may not. NALIP program faculty will help you define options available for your fieldwork.
All participants who satisfactorily complete the assigned work in this educational opportunity will receive a "Certificate of Completion." Participants are cautioned that completion of the program is not to be construed as "certification" or "accreditation" as an intentional interim pastor. You are advised to speak with your district president or synod bishop about placement and further recognition.
Persons interested in enrolling in a NALIP sponsored Basic Education Events are advised to visit the website of the respective institutions at which these events are scheduled. There are slight differences in course presentations and costs. Housing costs vary with each venue. Some training teams require additional preparatory work for which there is a fee.

I absolutely love this lipstick. I was on the hunt for a sheer neutral pink lipstick that had the "your lips, but just better" shade after I'd lost a Clinique one that was my go-to. Mac Viva Glam V is that shade for me; for reference, my skin is NC25 with very golden/yellow undertones.
As I mentioned, the lipstick is somewhat sheer, but buildable, as its formula is a Lustre. The description on Mac says it has a "pearl" finish- but I would consider it slightly more shimmery than pearl. With that being said, I am someone that absolutely hates shimmer normally, but the shimmer in this lipstick is very fine and not too detectable. In fact, I think the shimmer is what makes this lipstick and its beautiful finish.
I haven't had any problems with this lipstick drying- it's quite hydrating when you put it on. The one thing is that you may need to reapply it throughout the day, especially if eating. But this lipstick is honestly amazing for any event- very versatile.
Overall, I think this is a great shade that goes with any look and enhances my lips beautifully. Highly recommend that you try it on (I admit that I initially didn't like it when I swatched it on the back of my hand, but I was encouraged to try it on and I was instantly convinced).

I bought this as my 3rd MAC lipstick I believe. I went to the counter at Macy's with my friend on the search for a nude. The mua handed me this. I tried it on and wasn't super wowed. It was darker than I was looking for in a nude. My friend and the mua said it looked awesome so I bought it. It's about half gone, but at this point I haven't touched it in a year. I actually just tried it on again, and let me tell you, I can see why I don't like it much. It's gritty in texture and VERY shimmery. I hate shimmer. On a plus, it's a beautiful pink based neutral. I think next time I will go for the color I want instead of listening to other people. NC15 cool undertones for reference.

I am on the fence with this one. Like many have said before me, it's a fantastic every-day wearable shade. The color is great. It is perfect on my very fair cool-toned skin. Great for work.
But the formula! It goes on great, and has decent staying power, but it dries out my lips so badly. I even wear a heavy balm underneath, and by the end of the day, my laps are chapped and flakey. Bad flakey, embarrassingly flakey, that I can't wear lipstick the next day without a full on exfoliation and super moisturizing.
I read that Maybelline ColorSensational in Nearly There is a decent dupe. So I am going to try that when I finish this, hopefully the formula will work better for me. I am going to finish this tube, just because it was so pricey.

I don't get all the buzz about this lipstick. It's goes on sheer, and it's a basic nude. Don't get me wrong, it looks nice but seriously.... yawn. I think theres better nudes then this.
Age: 19-24
Skin: Oily, Fair-Medium, Neutral
Hair: Brown, Wavy, Coarse
Eyes: Brown
This is my first MAC lipstick. The salesgirl recommended this to me when I told her I wanted an everyday colour that would suit my skin tone. (For reference, I wear 2.0 in Matchmaster and NC20 in Studio Fix Fluid.) I was a little thrown off when she handed me this lipstick to try on because I saw the shimmery quality of it. I tried it on anyways and I actually really loved it. She gave me a clear gloss to put on top, and it just made my lips look so nice and plump!
I really hate the feeling of lip plumpers, but I like having my lips look bigger, so this lipstick helps me achieve that look without any pain!
I would describe the colour of this lipstick as like a dark mauve with multi-dimensional shine. I really do love it, and it will be my everyday lipstick. The vanilla smell of all MAC lipsticks is also really nice.
However, it is pricey. It's about $18 CAD before taxes, but I got this when The Bay was having a sale (spend $75+ get $10 off). Which isn't a big discount but it surely helps! (Says the shopaholic haha).

I use this as a pinky nude lip. I'm NW 43-45 and I wear this with mac plum liner and sometimes with overindulgence lip gloss. I love it! It's so pretty and goes great with a good smokey eye!

Great matte shine,a nd a matching viva gam V lipglass. This is not imited edition, it's a long lasting wite pearly color witha hint of ink, perfect for a day out and my lip-tone not my hg, but I'm glad I baught it without regrets, perfect on anyone I'd even say, celebriteis wear it that's their secret
Age: 30-35
Skin: Dry, Fair, Neutral
Hair: Brown, Straight, Medium
Eyes: Brown
This is such a pretty lipstick, it is one of my favorites! I love my bright lipsticks, but sometimes I don't want to wear much on my lips and this is what I wear. It is a sheer light pink with a subtle brown undertone and gorgeous multi-dimensional shimmer. It's one of the most flattering lipsticks I've seen, and it would look great on everybody. Lustre finishes remind me a lot of lip gloss, and this is my favorite "lip gloss" to wear, it's just in lipstick form, and that is a plus for me. Another reason I love this lipstick so much is because all the profit goes to charity. I will always repurchase this lipstick!
Age: 19-24
Skin: Combination, Tan, Not Sure
Hair: Brown, Other, Other
Eyes: Brown
::yawn:: this lipstick is a total snoozefest, the most it does is gives my lips a little tiny bit of boring neutral shimmer, it's too close to my natural lipcolor and not in a good way-- in a "what is the point of even putting this on" way.

Ubuntu Linux 10.04//Eclipse 3.5.2
I'm new to Eclipse and Android. Eclipse is up and running simple Jave apps OK. I moved on to downloading the Android SDK starter package, which seemed to go OK. Ran the SDK manager and downladed Platforms 7,8 & 9. Installed the ADT package in Eclipse.
I've tried to load the SDK path into the Eclipse Preferences, but it won't retain the path. After restart, Elipse says it can't find SDK package. Also,one message said that the (revision?) number of the ADT couldn't be found.
I've reinstalled Eclipse a couple of times, and then gone through the SDK & ADT download procedures a couple of times and am stuck. Any suggestions will be appreciated.
Stupid question caused by not thoroughly reading the Android Developers Guide and the tutorials before trying to start a project. Don't know why I didn't get a message about a missing XML file.

I have an existing WebForms application and we're now creating a new MVC application. They both authenticate using our own custom provider, using the same database.
I can successfully log in in each application separately using the same credentials, but what I now want is to implement a single-sign on (ie: if the user is already logged in in app1, app2 would automatically detect the user's settings and identify him as being logged in).
I have done my homework and read the references here, here and here, amongst others.
So far I have done the following:
Set the same machineKey on both sites:
Set the same forms auth on both sites:
Despite all of this, I haven't managed to get SSO working. I have managed 'Single-sign off', whereby when the user signs off one site, he's signed off from the other.
Is there anything I'm missing?
I would like a configuration-only solution, that does not require me to do any coding.

It is not enough for Black women to use our votes to elect people who promise to include our issues in their platforms. In the future, as leaders in reproductive health-care policy debates, we will hold them accountable for their actions.
As reproductive politics are once again consumed by an attack on Planned Parenthood, it is worth stepping back and asking why this organization is so particularly reviled by the anti-choice movement.
The sweeping opinion ruled the law had been passed with the improper purpose of restricting abortion access in the state—a policy endorsed by Gov. Scott Walker.
Cincinnati is a metropolitan area of more than two million residents, and if state Republicans get their way, it will become the nation's largest urban area without a single abortion clinic.
Conservatives offer up a series of false choices for the Supreme Court in their challenge to health insurance subsidies in federal exchanges, including wrongly comparing the Affordable Care Act to Medicaid. It shouldn't work, but it might.
With the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals fight over for now, focus shifts to other key vacancies.
Despite a change to Senate rules designed to speed along judicial nominations, Republicans appear ready to pick up 2014 where they left off 2013: obstructing nominees.
Senate Democrats finally decided to do something about Republican obstruction of judicial nominations.
Last year, Republican senators, led by far-right ideologues Michael Farris and Rick Santorum, defeated ratification of a UN treaty based on the Americans With Disabilities Act. Will they succeed again this year?
On Monday, Senate Republicans successfully blocked Judge Robert Wilkins' nomination to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia, bringing to a head the fight between the Obama administration and conservatives over the future of the second most powerful court in the country.

Non-existence and uniqueness results
Abstract | References | Similar Articles | Additional Information
Abstract: We show uniqueness results for the Dirichlet problem for Yang-Mills connections defined in -dimensional () star-shaped domains with flat boundary values. This result also shows the non-existence result for the Dirichlet problem in dimension 4, since in 4-dimension, there exist countably many connected components of connections with prescribed Dirichlet boundary value. We also show non-existence results for the Neumann problem. Examples of non-minimal Yang-Mills connections for the Dirichlet and the Neumann problems are also given.

text: I am working on, with some friends, a small project. It is to take a toy radio-controlled car and put a rotating electronic rangefinder on it in order to have it drive itself around SIMPLE obstacles. We all have a slight background in electronics (not much) and lots of experience in computer programming. We are currently torn between using a Zilog Z80, with required peripherals, or a microcontroller. The car is about 8"x16", so size really isn't a problem. It runs from two BLDC motors. We have decided on using two rangefinders, two color sensors, various servo motors, and other data-gathering peripherals. The rangefinders will be building a simplistic map of the car's surroundings in order to navigate them. Do you recommend us to use a microcontroller, build a full system with the Z80, choose a different option, or do something else with our time?

If we discard that definition, the only sensible alternative is "first arrival".
This means that all the legendary or proposed "discoverers", like Welsh saints in coracles, are ruled out by not fitting either definition.

I loved Damien. I seriously love how he's so... brutally honest. I'm not sure if I met him in real life, I would like him, but here, he's awesome. I love how he's different from other dudes in stories.
"The neckline's too deep."
- LOL! I love him! This is a great oneshot so far!
I do wonder why Damien is like this though... There has to be a reason for him to be so criticising... Their dinner was hilarious... "No. Diet. Coke." I think Ive fallen in love with Damien's strange-ness... I also think its sweet that he calls her Caramel...
"What the ducking hell were you thinking? Why the duck would you need to ducking order a ducking can of ducking Diet Coke?"
- You know, stories rarely make me laugh a lot, but i swear, this bit just killed me... DUCK. That's epic :')
Ooh... the angst is coming... I dont usually like to read oneshots, but this is really really REALLY good. It has everything! I love angst!
I. think. Im. going. to. cry.
Oh... Damien is bloody sweet... in a weird, twisted way. But hey, hes a boy. He has a reason to fail in being romantic.
...I am so on the verge of happy tears... I WISH THIS WAS A FULL STORY! I LOVED THIS!

Ok, first of all, he drives a Porsche? How old is this guy? Haha And the salmon would have been a better choice then pasta because pasta is all carbs and salmon is low in calories and really good for you. Random fact. Haha.
"…I guess, I'd never know…"
- I would take the comma out of there.
Okay, this story is about being blunt so I am going to be blunt and honest with you. It was a cute story, but it just wasn't for me. There were some cute and funny parts, but I didn't really like any of the characters or the situation that much. It was just a little too…"squealy girly" for me, but I see how other people would really like my story. I just didn't feel like I connected with the narrator at all, so it was hard for me to feel for her or the situation she was in.
Good job though, cute story, just not for me.

Does this girl represent you in some way? Anyway, the girl seems to not know what she wants. Or in other words, protests too much. I've read fiction like this in the past and you've done a better job of writing this than most people have. The girl is very likable and I really wanted to know what would happen at the end. And I love how the guy accepted the girl as she was. Very nice.

["What the ducking hell were you thinking? Why the duck would you need to ducking order a ducking can of ducking Diet Coke?" he yelled, except he didn't say ducking or duck…the first letter was different but that wasn't my concern at the moment.]
[The feeling that someone—three guesses who, Justin Bieber…? Uh no…that gay kid from Glee…? Nope, he-who-should-not-be-mentioned-in-my-thoughts…? That was your first guess wasn't it? Yeah, thought so—was glaring at me came back.]
So yeah, I liked this a lot. I'm glad they got back together in the end :)

Approximately half of the things you disclaimed are public domain and people, which means they're not owned by anyone. Unless of course, you're savvy of some celeb slave trade going on in Tinseltown. Then that means I'm just uninformed.

All NEW 2013 Cadillac XTS PLATINUM
Watch in 1080p! The styling of the XTS is a clear evolution of Cadillac's 'Arts & Science' design formula. While the styling is close to that of the XTS Platinum Concept shown at the 2010 Detroit Auto Show, the main difference comes in the way of slightly toned down lights. The sheet metal, however, is nearly the same as the concept's. From the satin-chrome grille and 20-inch aluminum wheels with chrome inserts, to the leather wrapped interior with Alcantara headliner, the XTS is the pinnacle of Cadillac luxury. The automaker is quick to note that while the design is bold and elegant, it's also an efficient way to carry passengers and cargo. Cadillac states that headroom, legroom, and knee space are all generous, which is important as the XTS is expected to be flogged to livery services as a replacement for the Lincoln Town Car. Featuring both front- and all-wheel drive options, the 2013 Cadillac XTS will come with a 3.6-liter direct injected V-6 rated at 300 horsepower and 264 pound-feet of torque. Using a six-speed automatic transmission, projected fuel economy ratings of 17/28 mpg city/highway for the front-wheel drive and 17/27 mpg for the all-wheel drive are good, but not great. The XTS will utilize GM's latest HiPer Strut front suspension, along with Magnetic Ride Control, Brembo brakes, and rear air suspension, all as standard equipment. As mentioned, space inside the XTS isn't an issue. With 40-inches of rear legroom, the XTS checks in with four inches more legroom than the BMW 5-Series. Trunk space is also quite spacious with 18 cubic-feet of space for whatever you may end up hauling as you cruise America's roads. At the center of the new XTS is a ton of new technology. The main feature is Cadillac's new CUE infotainment system. Featuring an 8-inch capacitive touch screen display in the center of the dash, all the main controls ranging from climate control to radio controls, are all touch based with haptic feedback. What might be the coolest feature is the proximity sensing feature, which can sense when your fingers are near the screen. Also part of the CUE system is a 12.3-inch reconfigurable gauge cluster. There are four driver selectable themes which each display different information in unique layouts. Along with the in-cabin electronics, Cadillac is introducing new short and long range radar systems with the XTS. These systems will be used for adaptive cruise control, front and rear automatic brakes, and rear cross traffic alert. Another new feature is a safety alert driver seat that vibrates to alert the driver. Combine these electronic safety features with the standard 10 air bags, and we can see Cadillac is looking to satisfy both the gadget loving and safety conscious crowd.
2012 Chrysler 300C SRT-8 Walk Around
Watch in 1080p! We'll cut right to the meat and potatoes. As expected, the new SRT8 is packing a 6.4-liter Hemi V-8 engine, producing an "estimated 465 hp and 465 lb-ft of torque." If those numbers hold up, they represent increases of 40 hp and 45 lb-ft over the outgoing model. The same five-speed automatic transmission is the only gearbox, but as in the 2012 Charger STR8, paddle shifters will live behind the flat-bottomed steering wheel. The wheel, Chrysler says, manipulates a livelier rack than before. The company expects 60 mph to arrive in the high four-second range and the quarter-mile to take just under 13 seconds. Although the new version will be heavier, we don't see those times being difficult to achieve, as the last car hit 60 mph in 4.7 seconds and the quarter in 13.2 in our testing. A screen in the IP includes a function to keep tabs on your personal 0-to-60-mph times, maximum lateral acceleration, and quarter-mile times, among other numerical bragging points. Along with, highway fuel economy is also projected to increase—this by an estimated 25 percent. To that end, the 6.4-liter gets cylinder deactivation, and an active Exhaust system allows it to work over a wider rpm range. The engine and Exhaust also are said to have a throatier voice, which is most excellent: SRT had a virtuoso as a base point of comparison A bit stiff riding at times, the old model should be trumped by the 2012 and its Adaptive Damping Suspension (ADS). Using variables that include vehicle speed, steering angle, steering speed, throttle position, and lateral force, the suspension automatically adjusts to road conditions and driving style. It offers a choice between Auto and Sport modes, with the latter giving the driver full control of shifting duties. The braking system carries over but cooling is likely to improve from a new belly pan with integrated brake ducting. New motor mounts will attempt to do away with the fun but admittedly un-luxurious muscle-car shake at idle. The Luxury Those seeking the luxury angle of the 300C SRT8 will find the updated interior from the regular 2011 300C a welcome change. Adding to the base car's vastly improved materials, the SRT8 gets real carbon-fiber trim along with the aforementioned unique steering wheel. Like the normal 300, the center stack also features the 8.4-inch touch-screen display, but here it comes with standard navigation and can control an optional and monstrous 900-watt, 19-speaker Harman/Kardon stereo. Additional luxury can be had from the Premium Leather Interior package, which stretches so-called "Foligno" leather over the door uppers, the instrument panel, the cluster hood, and the sides of the center console. Nappa leather then takes over to finish the doors, armrest, and center armrests. It's a far cry from the hard plastics of the recent past. The Looks Backing up the underhood muscle are the new front and rear fascias, side skirts, dual four-inch (!) softball-shooter Exhaust tips, and unique 20-inch wheels. The kit adds definite visual spice to the already-zesty look of the 300, but you can go one step further: A new Black Chrome package swaps in upper and lower grille surrounds, a rear valance strip, and wheels rendered in the dark shiny stuff. The SRT8 hits dealers in the third quarter of this year. We'll take ours in all black with all the black chrome you've got. Info retrieved from: Car & Driver
2012 Dodge Charger SRT-8 Tour
Watch in 1080p This menacing new sedan marks the triumphant return of the SRT namesake to the Charger model, and does so with a big 6.4-liter bang. The new mill adds 0.3-liters to the top SRT offering, and along with that comes an estimated 465 horsepower and 465 lb-ft of torque - that's an 80 horsepower bump at 2,900 rpm compared to the outgoing range-topper. Dodge has also added some new tech to the 392, including an all-new active valve Exhaust system that provides for improved efficiency, as well as Fuel Saver technology that drops the engine down to four cylinders for improved fuel economy when cruising. An active intake manifold and high-lift camshaft with cam phasing also provide improved low-end torque. But that's not all Of course the big engine is the big news for the new Charger SRT8, but Dodge has also added other exciting tidbits and firsts, such as standard paddle-shift technology for those who opt for the AutoStick five-speed automatic transmission. Also new for the latest SRT Charger is an adaptive damping suspension that measures a myriad of inputs such as vehicle speed, steering angle, steering speed, brake torque, throttle position and lateral acceleration to automatically tune and adjust the suspension for optimal handling on the fly. For added control, drivers can also pre-select from either "Auto" or "Sport" modes, which quickly adjust the vehicle to pre-set conditions based on driver demands. The performance SRT-tuned, fully hydraulic steering system is also improved with a new, heavy-duty pump and revised gearing to give drivers more direct feel and on-center response. New, split five-spoke, 20-inch lightweight forged and polished aluminum wheels with black painted pockets provide help get the power to ground while giving the SRT8 a menacing style, along with available three- or four-season tires. Stop it! Of course with all that power the Charger SRT8 is capable of some serious performance figures, such as: zero-to-60 in under five seconds, quarter miles in under 13 seconds, .88g skidpad performance and a top speed of 175 miles per hour. Naturally, something capable of that much speed needs substantial stopping power to keep from leaving the road, so Dodge's SRT division equipped this sedan with four-piston Brembo calipers and vented and slotted rotors measuring 14.2-inches up front and 13.8-inches in the rear. Step inside this hot saloon Inside the SRT8 the sporty style continues with a race-inspired interior featuring a leather-wrapped, SRT-exclusive steering wheel with a flat bottom design and SRT logo. The standard paddle shifters flank both sides of the new steering wheel behind the new contoured palm rests. Continuing the high-performance look and feel are carbon-weave, fiber aluminum interior trim pieces that are integrated into the new instrument panel and shifter bezel. The front seats have aggressive bolstering and perforated suede insert fabric to help keep the driver and passengers planted firmly in their (standard) heated and ventilated seats during spirited driving. Said standard seats also feature reactive headrests and an SRT logo that is embroidered into the seat backs. Rear seats are also heated. The door trim panels have been modified from the standard Charger and feature unique bolster material and accent stitching on arm rests to match the seats. Also new is a 900-watt, 19-speaker premium SRT performance audio surround-sound system from Harmon Kardon. Controlling this high-power stereo is the state-of-the-art Uconnect Touch system with the largest standard touchscreen display in the segment at 8.4-inches. SRT8 and Uconnect exclusives Exclusive Performance Pages are new for this Charger, and included within the touchscreen display. The instrument panel display can be customized to view driver preferences and expanded to include instant feedback on steering input measurements, horsepower, torque, expanded engine information, along with zero-to-60 times, 60-to-zero braking, g-forces and one-eighth mile and quarter-mile times. The color graphic Electronic Vehicle Information Center also includes the Performance Pages timers and added engine information. Don't forget the safety With so much power and performance on hand, sooner or later someone is bound to take things a little too far, and for such occasions dodge has equipped the latest SRT Charger with a slew of safety features. Included in that list are standard front-row reactive head restraints, standard full-length side-curtain air bags, driver's knee airbag and standard front seat-mounted side-thorax air bags. Also included are adaptive-cruise control with Forward Collision Warning and Blind-spot Monitoring with Rear Cross Path Detection. the Charger also features three-mode electronic stability control with segment-exclusive Ready Alert Braking and Rain Brake Support safety features.

Article Summary
When McLaren GT unveiled its 12C GT Can-Am Edition concept at the at the Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance earlier this summer, it was supposed to be a one-off. Its purpose was basically to show what McLaren's designers could do if they chucked the racing regulations in the bin and let themselves go. However, that one-off sparked a lot of interest – so much so that at the 2012 United States Grand Prix at the Circuit of the Americas, McLaren announced that the track car would go into production. The bad news is that it's for a run of only 30 cars.

You will hear winemakers say that paying attention to detail is critical, but Sam Kaplan, Arkenstone Winemaker takes it to another level. In the caves at Arkenstone, he has the luxury to do just that.
After graduating from Lewis and Clark College in Portland, Oregon, Sam was offered an internship at Pine Ridge Winery in 1998 for his first vintage. He then met the de Leuze family at ZD and worked his way from a cellar worker to the cellarmaster position. Shortly thereafter he was promoted to Assistant Winemaker, where he worked for nearly seven years learning not only winemaking and grape growing, but established a solid understanding in sales. In 2006, Sam met Ron and Susan Krausz and was offered the opportunity to help create their dream --a new winery called Arkenstone up on a spectacular shoulder property of Howell Mountain.
As Winemaker and overseer of the vineyards, Sam maintains the integrity and quality of Arkenstone wine. The depth, complexity, and balance of the wines are evidence of the tremendous breadth of his abilities. Passionate about organic farming, he loves spending time walking the vineyards with the crews, taking note of the tiniest details that ultimately shape each vintage. The maxim that Sam lives by: "Make the best damn wine possible and have fun doing it."

This updated edition provides important new motions and protocols pertaining to electronic meetings, discipline, and finance and audit committees.
"The Standard Code lays out the rules in a clear, concise, and readable format for all to use."--former U.S. Senator Don Nickles
"Meeting rules can be abstruse, even to the point of frustration to the average member in an organization. The Standard Code promises to keep the rules simple and understandable--and has delivered on its promise for more than sixty years."--Robert Dove, Parliamentarian Emeritus of the United States Senate
"Takes uncommon terminology and puts it in everyday terms for more clarity in meetings. The Standard Code is an important addition to any parliamentary library." --Ronald R. Stinson, NAP President 2009-2011
"The meeting-attendee who picks this book up will not only become proficient in the use of the meeting rules, but will also learn the important democratic principles behind the rules." --Congressman Mike Simpson (Idaho)
"Comprehensive and easily understandable."--Perry Opin, D.D.S., M.Sc.D., Speaker of the House of Delegates of the Connecticut State Dental Association
