TADAAAA. Equipment explaining time!
Mkay, so I'll cover both Myshop and in game equips that you should aim for, depending on builds also. But before that, I just want to let you know that Myshop and in game equipments are literally two different things, even if they go in the same slots. The stats are completely 180 if you took one of each and compared side by side. Having access to Myshop or "Myhax" will literally allow you to jump the TO social ladder in a blink of an eye.
= Hats & Helmets slot.
You should only be using hats, as they're the only ones that can be comped for MA. For MS users, try to aim for the highest level or highest base statted hat available on sale.
You can also look out for unusual MS hats that appear once in a blue moon that give a combination of HV with MA or AC & LK. You need all these stats as a SM.
For the poorer, unfunded and non paying users, I recommend you to make/find yourself a 3-4s Powerful or Requiem hat, level appropriate of course, comped with MA. You can't comp LK on in game hats, only helms, but that can't comp for MA =.= You have to choose one, or get both for swapping when you need it.
If you're seriously just flat broke and dying everywhere, skip the MA hat and go for a helmet. Comp LK on it and try to refine it when possible for the DP boost. ;0;
= Sprint slot.
This slot is used to equip an accessory that that allows you to walk faster in game. There are free and paid sprints.
A kitty sprint is the only known perma sprint in eTO. Lots of people go after it. It is unclear if SGI will bring Jen boxes back, but when they do, this is your best PvM sprint.
Myshop users get to choose from an array of sprints that are faster than the kitty sprint/offer alternative stats. Get the highest level magic sprint available and comp for MA.
Free users: continue to use the sprints available in gift-boxes. Don't bother with comping as they expire quick. Run speed isn't all that important, but it can literally shave off an hour of your play time every day and it adds up. Also, walking faster = more exp when training.
= Shield slot.
Choice of shields purely depend on the situation and your access to funding once again. You WILL NEED two shields at one point, one comped with LK and the other with HP, refined with DP for swapping.
All of the best HP and defense shields come from in game. Not only MS users use them, but free players as well.
Regardless if you pay or not, aim for the highest leveled and best statted Altiverse shield. Or, you can opt for a level appropriate powerful shield with 3+ slots. Currently Altiverse shields outshine other in game shields in terms of stats, crunching all 3 MD,DP & base HP in one shield.
Powerful shields have a much higher DP potential base and you can temper it, but it doesn't have MD or base HP.
You can also choose from boss shields. A guaranteed 4 slots is nice. Not too different from an Altiverse, just doesn't provide base HP.
Only MS users have access to the best LK shields available in the whole game. Yes, in game shields can comp for LK too, but there is no base LK, making it pale in comparison. Keep an eye out for the highest level MS shields that offer HV & LK or AC & LK together on them.
For free players, your only access to a LK shield is a well comped, high level altiverse, boss or powerful shield.
= Accessories slot.
In the accessories slots, you are allowed to equip two. But, there are certain rules like:
-They can be the same level if they have completely different names. (Ex: Boss ring 240 and Random ring 240.)
-They can't be of the same level if they share the same identical name. (Ex: You can't equip two Random ring 240's.)
-They can be the same name if they have different level brackets. (Ex: Dragon ring 30 and Dragon ring 190.)
Myshop users, keep an eye out for the highest level accessories that gives high base HP, LK, MA and AC. It'll even be better if all of them were crunched into one. Just make sure they have base HP on them as some of them have good MA, LK and AC but no HP.
With the introduction of CT,
MA compoundable accessories are finally available! Before CT, boss accessories didn't have the option and were currently the best accessories for free players. Look for good Altiverse accessories available for your level with high base MA, LK, HP, AC and HV. You should prioritize MA + HP first.
You only need a minimum of 15k HP for normal PvE. You need 20-25k for outside bossing and 35k+ for CT. So, if you find that you lack HP, comp HP on your accessories, if not, both of them can be MA or a combination of either one. I usually have two MA ones on and when I need more HP for situational use, I swap them out.
You will never need to comp LK on your accessories if you are a MS user, unless you have an extreme build with bad base LK or a free player. All you need is 300 LK to hit every mob in general PvE and 400 LK to hit all bosses in the game. Find your balance and go from there. =D
For free players, buy GM certificates and exchange them with GM Eni (an NPC, not a real life moving GM) for those pretty decent accessories available for your level. Their stats aren't too bad for only 2s. Temper for more base if needed. Same with the above, compound with whatever stat out of MA, HP, & LK depending on your needs.
= Drill slot.
I consider it an equipment, since drilling is pretty much everywhere in game. The types of drills you use will literally affect your game play sometimes. There are two different types of drills: Myshop and in game. Myshop drills have REALLY good life, fast drill speeds and special perks, while in game drills are the opposite and sometimes give less TM/EXP when drilling.
When choosing a drill to use you should know that Myshop drills are simply the best. Only a few in game drills can rival Myshop drills in speed, but not durability and special perks.
Myshop drill features:
Fast drill speeds.
Very high life spans.
Offers enormous depth advantages.
Sometimes when drilling, they come with designs, instead of the traditional ugly grass and dirt when excavating.
Different drills have specific perks (Ex: Speed drills offer the FASTEST drill time in the whole game or Crazy drill offers the quickest rage meter fill up etc.).
Gives more TM/EXP when drilling.
Can be used universally on any terrain without the penalties of soil type.
Lasts VERY long in crazy drill mode. Some Myshop drills will allow you to get a little over 1 minute, so that's very awesome!
Hardly weighs anything, allowing you to carry lots of them!
In game drill features:
Slow and sluggy.
Have terrain penalties if you are using the wrong type of drill in the wrong place.
Very short crazy drill duration, usually 10 to 20 seconds.
Low drill life.
Doesn't give as much TM/EXP.
No real special perks.
Weighs a ton more.
All in all, try to use Myshop drills as much as possible. DON'T EVER BUY THEM! You should only be getting them by events and no where else. It's such a waste of money to buy them. If you do happen to run out, which is rare, stick to the correct area specific drills for your level and depth you are using it at. Other than those points, you shouldn't get crazy drilling on a magic character, its uses are very limited and it wastes precious drill life if you can't see where you are drilling at x.x
Also: This is
a REALLY AWESOME guide
on depth and terrain tutorial I stumbled upon when I first started and drilling was like "&^$%^*$ WAT" to me LOL. Hope it helps you :3
= Cape slot.
All of the highest base stat capes are only available through Myshop unfortunately. However, there are some decent alternatives for the free players.
Myshop users:
Look for high base MA, HP and LK capes for your correct level. If they have AC or HV on them with the 3 other stats, then it's even better! However, you should prioritize MA, HP and LK first. Comp whichever of the 3 stats depending on your situational needs.
Free users:
Currently the highest base stats cloak available for you is the Trickster Cloak, from completing Episode 6. Although it's only 2 slots, it's the best you got! Aim for this. It's not trade-able though, so you can't buy it off of others.
Keep a lookout for each Poppuri Event. Sometimes the capes they give are really good stats too. When the event is finished, you can exchange your poppuri tickets for previous event cloaks/equipments too!
Upon 2nd job change you also receive a free cloak, but it's timed. After it wears off you should try to aim for a Poppuri cloak and buy it off of other players or wait for a new Poppuri event to arrive.
= Face wear slot.
Once again, like cloaks, the best face wear/masks for magics also come from Myshop =(
Myshop Users:
Buy the highest level correct mask for your SM; it should have MA and LK on it. Very rarely will they have masks with MA, HP & LK altogether on them, so if you can't get one with those three, just stick with one that has MA and LK on it for the most part. Compound whichever stat depending on your situational needs. Currently the best one for us is the Vindicator's Visage. Usually SGI re-releases the Corvid boxes near Halloween or for special occasions, so aim for that!
Free users:
Currently, the best mask available for you is the Blood red eye-patch from the Karan set. Although it doesn't have MA on it, you can comp LK on it. The AC will help your blessings a bit too. Must get if you can't access anything else.
Other than that, you can stick with your free golden sleeping mask/don giuvanni's glasses x.x Some stats is better than none
= Headgear slot.
Repeating from the previous, all of the best head gear are available through Myshop only. Very rarely will there be decent alternatives, and there were some.
Aim for the best headgear on sale whenever they are released with MA, HP and LK. Unfortunately HP cannot be compounded on MA headgear, so you have to go with pure MA or LK depending on what you need most. This may change in the future, so pay attention!
For free players, there are only 2 releases of free headgear and it's the "I<3D" balloon & Soccer rally towels 60 + 180. The rally towels are trade-able and the speech balloons aren't.
Or you can save up some money and buy one that is currently in Myshop from another player.
= Pet slot.
In game pets that rival some Myshop pets are actually on the rise. From what I've seen, SGI offers some pretty nice events that allow you to get them. So without further ado, here are some of the pets you should aim for:
Myshop users:
There are all kinds of varieties of MA pets you can get, but most of them aren't the best. For normal PvE'ers, just buy the highest statted pet for your level that has MA, HP & LK. Slot it with MA or HP depending on how you're doing.
I personally recommend you nab a Corvid 220. It is THE pet to aim for on a SM. It has everything you can ask for in one pet, MA, LK, HP, HV, AC. Just AWESOME. Anyways, with the recent releases of 2nd job pets, they are also a very good option to switch to because of higher base stats, but the difference isn't THAT big. So, corvid wins hands down.
Free users:
There are some good pets, many of which are from holiday or special events. Some of them include: Fairy mite, Golden Iceboy t1-4, Icarius(powerful, shrewd etc.), elephant crystal t1-3, and all of the poppuri pets. Just nab any of them from players, the trade-able ones, but don't slot them! It's not worth the money. Also, some of them aren't trade-able and are account bound, so just make sure you participate in events that give out free pets!
Some areas in TO also give pets as rewards or when you are digging, so you can also go for those too.
= Weapon slot.
The best weapon for mages in general come from in game only. Only a select few of the Myshop ones can be really good.
Try to get a powerful staff of your correct level, refined as high as possible. Powerful weapons are currently THE end game staff most people get. Definitely save up your galders for one, and compound LK on it, MP is useless and you already have enough from just natural growth and equipment.
Another alternative is the Altiverse weapons. They have a higher refining rate than powerfuls, but their max base MA is a bit lower. However they come with luck and can compound for elements, so it evens out. Same thing applies to here too, aim for a high MA staff refined as high as you can. LK doesn't matter as much, but high base MA should be your first priority.
Requiems and ultimates. They also serve as a decent alternative if you haven't reached CT yet or don't have the funds to afford a powerful staff.
Boss weapons are also a viable option, but they can't be refined for MA. I don't recommend you using one because it's just really bad. Bad for re-selling when you don't need it and bad for your MA.
= Innerwear slot.
Unfortunately, some of the best inner-wear comes only from spending Myshop. BUT, there is hope for the free players!
Myshop users, if 1st job character boxes ever get re-released for one more time, this is your chance to nab a really nice permanent vest. Aim for the Dragon Vest 190, it can be compounded for HP, something that most magic inner wear don't have! Amelie inner wear 210 and the current Wind Corset is also a good choice, but they don't have HP on it. So, the dragon vest is the best we have, get it!
Aim for the highest level statted/slotted vest that has MA combined with either HP, LK, or AC. It doesn't have to have all of those stats on it, but it would be preferred. Your compounds depend on your situational needs and NEVER AC please D:
For free players:
Same first point as the MS users.
With the recent SGI screw-up on the egg shop, you can now have access to a really decent MS inner wear that's trade-able! It's called a Koala T-shirt, for level 160 and you should buy one off of other players if you have the money. This will last you until your late 300's. You should comp MA or HP on it, depending on your needs. LK is also possible.
For pre-160, aim for a golden mole vest comped with HP, 2nd anniversary vest comped with MA or a poppuri waistcoat comped with HP.
For 160 and over, buy some GM certificates from players and go to mega shop, carbigal shop or mega skill shrine and wherever else, to exchange for those decent inner wear available at GM Eni. Even though they are only 2s, they have really good stats for in game equipment. Temper for more base stats when you have the right Chaos feathers.
Other etc. items I didn't mention
The tail and ears! I remember when I first started playing TO I saw animal ears and tails with stats. I thought to myself, "Omg, how do I get those? Are they like super rare or something?! I want some Dx" Turns out, you can get them, without deleting your character over and over again, hoping to generate statted ears and tail LOL.
You know those weird map pieces you drill up? The red ones? Yes, those. You turn those in to Driller Marky at the correct area that those maps belong to and he will give you the full map. Once you dig up the spot, you will be sent to a black market area. The NPCs there sell statted ears, tail and other etc. items some classes use. This is also the place you can forge Powerful weapons.
The ears and tail lasts for 15 days and give you a nice chunk of stats for around 1m for both pieces. Pretty good investment. So aim for those when you have the money! They also sell timed weight pouches here too that stack with the duckling keychain. So if you're running a 1414 build or any build with low sense, here is the place to find weight accessories!

River works at Sturgeon is a great way for kids to learn hands on about the environment and how to take care of it. At the street science events they learn in your face science applications and have a great time doing it. My oldest son has been going to Sturgeon city for over 5 years now and had loved every minute.

Husband family throwing me a baby shower.
Comments (8)
Proud mommy to DD Rylee Kaden and DD Kendall Audrey
Forever in love with my Junior High Sweetheart Ronnie <3
Maybe they're not telling you anything because they want it to be a surprise? That's what my MIL did with my bridal shower, to the point where I didn't think I would have a shower lol. If it will make you feel better just be direct and say I don't feel comfortable waiting until December because I'll be too close to my due date. Even lie and say your doctor "thinks" you'll go early ;)
Never play leapfrog with a unicorn.
Don't sweat it. If they don't throw you one, they don't throw you one. It is disappointing, b/c they said they would, but it's not the end of the world. It was nice of them to even think about doing one for you.
If you don't want to travel after a certain date, just have your DH inform them that you won't be traveling after X date, so please do it before then, or don't be surprised when you don't show up.
I plan on being 2 hours away from my home 2 weeks before I'm due. Especially since this is your first, labor will probably take way longer than that. Granted, traveling gets uncomfortable the further you get into the pregnancy, but it's totally do-able if you're healthy and don't have any signs of pre-term labor.
I don't recommend lying to them - that just bites you in the butt later if anyone finds out. :/ They might not be happy about you not being willing to travel after a certain date, but I'd rather deal with people being mad at me for the truth ('cuz then they can just suck it up) than for lying ('cuz then I know they have a real reason for being mad at me).
Uhm blue bear you totally didn't read my whole post, did you? I recommended that if she is not comfortable traveling after a certain time, to just let them know that. She doesn't need to go anywhere she's not comfortable with! But I was also reassuring her that 2 hours isn't THAT big of a deal.
And what, are there not doctors in the city she'd be going to for the shower? Of course everyone wants to be at home with an emergency happens, but to lock yourself away for the last month of pregnancy it just punishing yourself. If you want to go the route you're talking, she could have her shower there next week and - Heaven forbid! - have her water break! Guess that means she shouldn't travel at all while pregnant. SMH.

HU Professor€s Show Parallels Beethoven and Musicians of Color
Edith Billups | 2/4/2009, 10:44 p.m.
For music buffs who think there is little in common between the music of classical composer Ludwig van Beethoven and African American pianist Eubie Blake, Howard University professor Raymond Jackson can tell them a thing or two. According to Jackson, Beethoven€s Sonata No. 32, Opus 111, €has a rag rhythm that you hear in Blake€s €The Charleston Rag,€ written over 100 years later. There has been some speculation that Beethoven had a Moorish heritage. Could that driving rhythm that he used, that is so characteristically African, be proof?€
Jackson has devoted his life to researching and reviving composers of color, especially music for the piano, and will perform as part of the Strathmore€s Music in the Mansion series, €A Celebration of the Piano: From Bach to Boogie-Woogie and Beyond,€ Tues., Feb. 10, at 7:30 p.m., in the Mansion, 10701 Rockville Pike, Bethesda, Md.
His concert, titled €From Beethoven to Eubie Blake: Discoveries and Connections,€ features rarely performed music by Samuel Coleridge-Taylor, Hall Johnson and Frederick Eliot Lewis, and is a continuation of the series that charts the development of the piano.
A Howard University professor for the past 32 years, Jackson will present a lecture/recital that will show Beethoven€s influence on a number of musicians of color, while presenting works for the keyboard by some European composers, as well. These include Frederic Chopin, Franz Liszt and Robert Schumann.
€I want to show the common thread and parallels in their music because of Beethoven€s influence,€ said Jackson, a child prodigy who later obtained many firsts as a young African American concert pianist.
The son of parents who encouraged his love for music, Jackson grew up in Providence, R.I. and later graduated from Julliard and the New England Conservatory of Music, where he graduated first in his class. He comes from a long line of musicians, noting €my great grandfather produced operattas, and he was one of the first to teach Whites to play the violin.€
In his Strathmore program, Jackson will play Schumman€s €Scenes From Childhood, Opus 15€ and will show the parallel between Frederick Eliot Lewis€ €Scenes of Youth: Fantasia for Piano, Opus 3.€ His offering of Lizst€s €Widmung€ will juxtapose
Coleridge-Taylor€s €Deep River,€ a Negro spiritual.
Called €eloquent€ by The New York Times, pianist with a passion for the past,
Jackson will show the parallel between Chopin€s €Polonaise in A Flat, Opus 59,€ and Hall Johnson€s mimicking of that in €Polonaise: Chopin in Harlem.€
Jackson said that he is excited about presenting the Feb. 10 program, €because it€s not talked about often,€ in classical circles. Regarding the future, he noted that many African American students are going less into classical musical €and lean more to gospel and jazz.€
€There are more opportunities today than when I came along, but the jazz and gospel influence is very strong today and many students gravitate towards that. Many learn by ear, and they don€t want to go through the discipline of playing classical music,€ he said.
The Mansion at Strathmore is located one-half mile north of the Capital Beltway and immediately adjacent to the Grosvenor-Strathmore station on Metro€s Red Line.
Performances are in the Dorothy and Maurice C. Shapiro Music Room. Tickets are $25 for general admission, and may be purchased online at www.strathmore.org, or by calling the Strathmore Ticket Office at 301-581-5100.

It has been reported that Rolf Smedvig, the brilliant trumpet player, has died at age 62.

That is a serious loss. He was part of that first generation of "modern" classic trumpet players with a very flashy style - and the playing qualities to still keep it serious!

This is very sad news. I first came across Mr Smedvig on one of my very first two CDs, playing with Empire Brass, and was blown away by his brilliance and virtuosity.
Vale Rolf Smedvig!
The Empire Brass came to my alma mater, Point Loma Nazarene University in 1978, when I was a junior in college. On that evening, San Diego was fogged in and Rolf's plane was stuck circling Lindbergh field for about 45 minutes or more. The dean of the music department asked me if I could call my teacher, Charles Lauer, to see if he could fill in to get the concert going. Mr. Lauer came and sat in with them and played the first several numbers on the concert until Rolf arrived. And did himself, Rolf, Empire and dear old PLNC proud. Not to mention myself, of course!

Nicholas was in basic training standing post. A guy came in wearing a mask and told him to strip. He did as he was told and stripped down to his underwear. The masked man told him to strip off the underwear and play with himself. He dropped them to the floor, gripped his cock and started to stroke. The masked guy walked over, knelt down and started sucking his dick. He sucked and stroked that cock until Nicholas was getting ready to nut so the masked man pulled back and watch as he leaned back, jerked his rod and shot a hot load all over a nearby mirror.

Five members of a Hong Kong-based activist group that organised a mass pro-democracy rally last week were arrested Friday, on charges of blocking traffic, obstructing police and violating traffic safety.
The group, the Civil Human Rights Front, complained that the charges were politically motivated.
Tuesday's rally was prompted by a report issued by China's government that said it has ultimate power over Hong Kong despite a promise of autonomy for the territory through 2047. Police said about 100,000 people joined at its peak, while organizers put the total at 510,000.
Officers said on Friday the two men and three women have been accused of obstructing traffic by driving slowly and encouraging protesters to sit in the street, obstructing police and disobeying instructions. They will be detained while they are being investigated, police said in a statement.
The organizing group criticized the arrests as "obvious political pressure."
"The government did not respond to the 510,000 people who took to the streets of Hong Kong and instead made political arrests of organizers," it said in a statement.
1 July, a public holiday marking the anniversary of the 1997 return of Hong Kong from Britain to Chinese sovereignty, has become an annual day of protest in the city for broader political rights.

Tens of thousands of Hong Kong residents took to the streets for the annual 1 July demonstration to mark the surrender of the territory to Chinese control in 1997, in what organisers said they hoped would be the biggest challenge to Communist Party rule in a decade.

7/7 Hong Kong's 1 July demonstration 2014
Hundreds of thousands of participants continue to march until late the evening. July 1 is traditionally a day of protest in Hong Kong and also marks the anniversary of the handover from Britain to China in 1997, under a "one country, two systems" agreement.
Tuesday's rally came days after nearly 800,000 residents voted in an informal referendum aimed at bolstering support for full democracy. Beijing denounced the referendum.
The Communist mainland government has promised to allow the people of Hong Kong to vote for the city's leader by 2017. However, it has rejected calls to allow the public to nominate candidates, insisting instead that they be vetted by a Beijing-friendly committee like the one that has selected all leaders since the 1997 handover.
On the mainland, comments about the rally were erased from social media. Few outlets in the state-controlled media reported on the rally, and the Global Times, a newspaper published by the main Communist Party newspaper People's Daily, said it was "not in line with Hong Kong's interests."
Those arrested Friday were Johnson Yeung Ching-yin, an organizer of the rally; Daisy Chan Sin-ying, a member of the group, and Ivy Chan Siu-ping, who acted as master of ceremonies, according to the group's deputy head, Icarus Wong Ho-yin. The others were Kitty Hung Hiu-han, a staff member of the group, and driver Shun Wing-kan.
Police also arrested 511 people early Wednesday on charges of illegal assembly and obstructing police after two student groups held an overnight sit-in following the pro-democracy rally. Most were released with a warning, while 25 — including three members of the Hong Kong legislature — were released on bail and told to report back later.Reuse content

You do realize people would just crush their shoes then ask for new ones, right? You'd have to charge each person hundreds of dollars per shoe in order to keep up with Yeezy/Galaxy/DB Prices.
But, I mean, it sounds good. Just would never work. Insurance Fraud would run wild on you, brother.
You create strict policies that prevent fraud.. just like they do for cars and other businesses..for example.. someone could try that but i would have me Sole Team to determine what caused the damage.. if it wasnt covered under our guidelines.. Your jig is up..
you realize that insurance companies do have strict policies against fraud and people whos sole job is to go out and inspect damages to determine liability, but they still get scammed frequently right?

I have to admit, I was a little surprised. The invitation to a book signing came from an emerging markets investment firm by one of their investment professionals and on the face of it didn't really excite me. But I do have a lot of respect for the individuals at the firm and there was a quality to the invitation, one that didn't say hard sell, that compelled me to go and see.

China economic reforms may result in $14.4 trillion GDP, growth at 6 percent – Asia Society report
Sweeping economic reform initiated by China President Xi Jinping in November 2013 marked a turning point for the world's second biggest economy. If implemented fully, China's potential GDP growth can be sustained at 6 percent through 2020. One risk: Falling short of that growth rate could result in growth at half that projection, or worse, leading to a new economic crisis, according to a new study.
Strong dollar, weak oil and emerging markets growth
Many emerging economies have been banking on weaker currencies to revitalise economic growth. Oil's 25 percent fall in dollar terms this year should also help. The problem however is the dollar's strength which is leading to a general tightening of monetary conditions worldwide, more so in countries where central banks are intervening to prevent their currencies from falling too much.
Measuring political risk in emerging markets
(Corrects to say EI Sturdza is UK investment firm, not Swiss)
Commerzbank analyst Simon Quijano-Evans recently analysed credit ratings for emerging market countries and concluded that there is a strong tendency to "under-rate" emerging economies – that is they are generally rated lower than developed market "equals" that have similar profiles of debt, investment or reform. The reason, according to Quijano-Evans, is that ratings assessments tend to be "blurred by political risk which is difficult to quantify and is usually higher in the developing world compared with richer peers.
Russia: There's cheap and then there is "near-death" cheap
Russia's equity market has always been cheap, argues USAA's Wasif Latif, but at present levels it is just too cheap to ignore. Russia's economic decline, driven by not only falling oil prices, its main source of income, but also Western sanctions over its intervention in Ukraine has caused a major sell-off that Latif and other asset managers believe is an overshoot. This has brought Russia's benchmark dollar-denominated RTS stock index to its lowest level since March and before that, a level not seen since Sept. 2009.

Bleak investment outlook sours mood at Russia forum
By Alexander Winning
What are the chances that Western investors will rush back to Russia if a shaky ceasefire in Ukraine leads to a more lasting peace? Pretty slim, judging by a keynote speech at a recent Russia-focused investment conference in London.
The people buying emerging markets
We've written (most recently here) about all the buying interest that emerging markets have been getting from once-conservative investors such as pension funds and central banks. Last year's taper tantrum, caused by Fed hints about ending bond buying, did not apparently deter these investors . In fact, as mom-and-pop holders of mutual funds rushed for the exits, there is some evidence pension and sovereign wealth funds actually upped emerging allocations, say fund managers. And requests-for-proposals (RFPs) from these deep-pocketed investors are still flooding in, says Peter Marber, head of emerging market investments at Loomis Sayles.
Emerging markets; turning a corner
Emerging markets have been attracting healthy investment flows into their stock and bond markets for much of this year and now data compiled by consultancy CrossBorder Capital shows the sector may be on the cusp of decisively turning the corner.

Bite Beauty Lush Lip Wipes ($12.00 for 10; $22.00 for 30) are supposed to "remove color, replenish, and mattify." The moistened wipe says it will "soothe and hydrate while removing your old lip color." Even if this was an amazing lip color remover, it's a product that really only makes sense in a more in-case-of-emergencies situation where you just have to remove your lip color on the go, but you're paying for the convenience. I didn't like the feel of the product, its efficacy, the size of the wipe, or the way it left my lips feeling after removing the color.Read Full Review

Kiehl's Super Multi-Corrective Cream Review & Photos
Kiehl's Super Multi-Corrective Cream ($62.00 for 1.7 oz.) is one of the newest releases from Kiehl's, and I really don't leap to test skincare, let alone anything that makes as many claims as this one. What intrigued me the most was that it promised visible results in two weeks–not four, not six, not eight, a mere two–and the skeptic in me immediately thought, "Well, then maybe you'd actually see visible results in four or six weeks at least…" The exact claim is that "Kiehl's Super Multi-Corrective Cream is clinically demonstrated to simultaneously lift, firm, visibly redefine skin contour and re-texturize skin within 2 weeks and double efficacy within 4 weeks." According to Kiehl's, their chemists selected Jasmonic Acid (supposed to be "highly effective … for its ability to support epidermal renewal … smoothing and retexturizing the skin's surface"), Beech Tree Extract (said to "improve skin firmness and visibly improve plumpness and density"), and Fragmented Hyaluronic Acid (listed to "reinforce skin's natural short and long term moisturization … improve skin elasticity while reducing skin roughness").Read Full Review
Pacifica Purify Coconut Water Cleansing Wipes Review & Photos
Pacifica Purify Coconut Water Cleansing Wipes ($6.00 for 30) are designed for gently cleansing skin and "[reviving] skin and [removing] dead cells." Pacifica says they can be used to remove makeup, but "[they] do not use chemical solvants, [so] they will not remove the most water-proof make-up." I appreciate the honesty there, though I did use it to remove regular makeup and felt it did an excellent job moving all bits and traces of my foundation, eye makeup (including mascara), and lipstick. None of what I've worn is really waterproof (except maybe eyeliner), so whether it has a place in your routine will depend on whether you want it to break down waterproof makeup, too.Read Full Review
Pacifica Sea Foam Complete Face Wash Review & Photos
Pacifica Sea Foam Complete Face Wash ($11.00 for 5.0 fl. oz.) is supposed to be a "gentle, sulfate-free foaming cleanser that removes daily toxins and makeup." Skincare seems to be a new venture (well, beyond body creams) for Pacifica, which I've personally known primarily as a fragrance brand, so I didn't have high expectations for this. I've been loving all things coconut-scented lately, though (it's the summer–coconut always reminds me of warm summer days spent at the beach), so I figured I'd give it a try.Read Full Review
