Create the perfect canvas for any makeup application by following our 6 simple steps for a soft, smooth and even complexion.
1. Start by blending Photo Finish Foundation Primer (our most powerful skin perfector) over face using fingertips. With one easy application, you instantly create smoother, softer, younger-looking skin - and it also helps makeup last throughout the day. Control any excess oil by applying Anti-Shine over any shiny areas.
2. Using Foundation Brush #13, apply your shade of your favorite foundation (try High Definition Healthy FX Foundation). Take a small amount of product and start at the center of the face, blending the color out and away from the nose. The key is to keep it really sheer - you want to enhance, not mask, the skin. (Don't worry about covering up imperfections that comes later.)
3. Apply Photo Op Under Eye Brightener to instantly brighten, smooth, hydrate, and prep the eye area for concealer. Use Precision Concealer Brush #5 to dab a small amount of Photo Op just beneath the center of the eyes, then blend it up and out beneath the eyes. Now it's time for concealer. Start by applying Camera Ready Full Coverage Concealer to the back of your hand to warm it, then use Precision Concealer Brush #5 to apply it to the under eye area. Now see where you need extra coverage on the face - usually wherever the face naturally creases and has redness such as the areas around the nose and mouth. And finally, when you're done concealing, go back and lightly dab Photo Op Under Eye Brightener around the outer corners of the eyes.
4. Dab Photo Finish Lid Primer on lids and blend to keep eye color in place all day.
5. Here's where we set the canvas with powder and reduce excess shine. The secret is to remember that the last thing you want to do is cover up your healthy glow and mask the true radiance of the skin. Using Face & Cheek Brush #2, lightly sweep Halo Hydrating Perfecting Powder across your T-zone, which is the area around the nose and forehead. Then gently sweep the powder underneath the eye area. This leaves a radiant glow on your cheeks while setting the canvas for long wear throughout the day.
6. The last and final step is all about defining the brows, which instantly draws attention to the eyes and makes you look younger. Using Brow Tech Wax, use Angle Brow Brush #12 to pick up just a dab of powder. Tap the brush before starting to apply color, and then place it at the point of the brow where the hair is the sparsest. Lightly feather the color in, pulling the brush back and forth as you follow the natural shape of the brows. Next, lightly coat the brush with the wax and then feather up through the brows, setting them in place for a polished look all day.

Escanaba events to commemorate the start of 2014
ESCANABA – A fireworks display and "pasty drop" will commemorate the start of 2014 in Escanaba tonight.
A "Fireworks Extravaganza" is scheduled to light up the winter night sky beginning at 9 p.m. from the municipal dock at the east end of Ludington Street.
The New Year's Eve event is courtesy of the Esky150 Committee, which paid $5,000 for the light show. The committee organized the celebration of the city's 150th anniversary with a variety of events during a 10-day period in July.
A total of 191 fireworks will be set off at the municipal dock beginning at 9 p.m. on Dec. 31, giving all ages a chance to view the display on New Year's Eve.
In conjunction with New Year's Eve, a "pasty drop" will take place at the Downtown Development Authority (DDA) at 1025 Ludington St. Organizers plan to have the pasty lit up by 8 p.m.
At the stroke of midnight, the pasty will be lowered from a C.R. Meyer crane to celebrate the beginning of the new year.
The approximate 12-foot-by-eight-foot-by-four-foot pasty is constructed out of metal tubing, chicken wire and Christmas lights.
The public is invited to attend the pasty drop where hot cocoa, hot cider and cookies will be for sale beforehand inside the DDA building. There will also be a sound system with music.
And for those opting for a night on the town, the Liferides program returns to Delta County for its 30th year this New Year's Eve.
The program, which aims to reduce alcohol-related traffic accidents, is sponsored by OSF St. Francis Hospital & Medical Group and the Island Resort & Casino, and will provide free rides to those celebrating the new year from 11 p.m. on Dec. 31 through 5 a.m. on Jan. 1.
JN Taxi and Escanaba Taxi will be offering rides throughout Delta County during this time with assistance from City Cab of Gladstone, which will also offer rides within Gladstone. Those in need of a ride in Escanaba should call 786-4448 or 786-1122. Rides in Gladstone can be requested by calling 420-2939.
Bus service for passengers traveling shorter distances will be available from Charter Celebration. The buses will be traveling along the main streets of Escanaba and Gladstone. No phone calls are needed for bus service.
Donations to the Liferides program are tax-deductible and can be sent to the OSF Foundation at 3401 Ludington St., Escanaba, 49829. All checks should be made payable to the OSF Foundation and designated for "Liferides."

A robbery at a North Side service station is the crime of the week in the Crime Stoppers program.
A man entered the Sunoco station at 4840 Sinclair Rd. about 10:30 p.m. on Dec. 26. He asked a clerk to make a fresh pot of coffee and returned to his car to wait.
After he came back in and poured himself a cup, he told the clerk he couldn't pay for the coffee, and the clerk said he could pay for it the next time he came in.
The man left but returned to say that he needed sugar for the coffee. He then threw the coffee in the clerk's face, shoved the clerk to the floor and tried to open the cash drawer. The clerk opened the drawer to calm the man, who grabbed about $200 and ran out the door.
The robber got into a white or silver four-door car and drove away. He was described as a black man in his 50s, about 6 feet tall, 150 to 170 pounds, with a thin, white "chin-strap" beard.
Surveillance video may be viewed at www.stopcrime.org.
Crime Stoppers is offering a cash reward for information that leads to an arrest or indictment. Tips can be called in to 614-461-8477; sent by email through www.stopcrime.org; or texted to 274637, keyword CMH.

What is quality in qualitative health research?

Assessing whether the research we are reading is any good is often a challenge. If we are going to use a study's findings to change how we think and how we practice, we want to have confidence in the findings.
What do you need to look for in qualitative research to show that the study is of high quality? The answer is not straightforward, even though there are many different criteria available for judging qualitative research – Dixon-Woods et al1 reports there are over 100 proposals for identifying quality in qualitative research. Spencer et al2 drew on 29 existing frameworks to produce …

""I've got a list of corporations that have gotten out of their airplanes [because of criticism from politicians]. It is the stupidest thing I've ever seen. When you look at the time and cost savings; it does not make sense not to fly [privately]. You can't let public perception interfere with your business decision to fly. It either is a good business decision or it isn't.""
MD Helicopters' Lynn Tilton
IN 2000, after more than two decades of diverse Wall Street experience, Lynn Tilton started Patriarch Partners, a private equity firm that specializes in buying and fixing distressed companies. Today, Patriarch's diverse multibillion-dollar portfolio holds interests in more than 65 companies worldwide, including Arizona-based MD Helicopters, which Tilton's firm bought in 2005 and brought back to life from near liquidation.
Tilton, who currently serves as CEO of MD, predicted the current economic crisis more than two years ago. She faults a reliance on "synthetic" finances, which she says created the illusion of economic growth while helping to dismantle much of America's manufacturing sector.
Prior to founding Patriarch Partners, Tilton was an executive at Long Drive Management Trust, a company that managed distressed debt. Earlier, she was executive managing director of Papillon Partners, a firm she founded to offer research, valuation and other services to sellers of bank debt. Before launching Papillon, Tilton spent many years in corporate finance and banking positions at such firms as Morgan Stanley, Goldman Sachs and Merrill Lynch.
Tilton maintains a schedule that even an Olympic athlete would likely find grueling.
Her Gulfstream 200 and MD 902 Explorer helicopter help. So do her drive and combative spirit. She spars with journalists, revels in being "disrespected by my peer group" and delights in defying the predictions of industry experts. "I like to be the little engine that could," Tilton said.
When did you start using corporate jets?
I had flown on NetJets [since] around 2002, then switched to my own corporate jet in the latter part of 2006 and it is invaluable every day. I spend 80 to 90 percent of my life on the road and probably 80 percent of the deals that I do I wouldn't do if I didn't have a jet because my body just couldn't take it. I work 20 hours a day, seven days a week.
It has allowed me to take many meetings I would otherwise not have been able to that resulted in great transactions and great relationships. I actually used that corporate jet to fly around and buy parts for MD helicopters when we had 265 [helicopters] on the ground, and I knew the only way to get this company back was to make sure those helicopters were in the air. So that jet often went to pick up parts, at a loss, just to put aircraft back in the air for our customers.
MD Helicopters turned profitable in the fourth quarter of 2007. How was 2008?
We could have had a better year had we not fallen back on our deliveries. We expected to deliver more than 60 aircraft and [were], I think, 10 aircraft short because we had a little bit of a setback on some parts that kept aircraft on the line too long. It is because I [re]built this company bottom up that we understand our cost on every aircraft. We make money on every aircraft we sell and we are still in very good shape.
You've made lots of product improvements to your existing line but some of your competitors have new products with large order books. At what point do you have to stop refining your existing products and introduce new ones to stay competitive?
The MD 902 is the most modern technology in the market and it never really hit its stride. So we have a very new product that is being embraced with great enthusiasm, especially in the Middle East, where the MD 902 can fly all day long in summer when other aircraft need to sit [during parts of the day] because they can't carry the loads in that type of heat.
I can take an MD 902 and change 20 things on it and call it a different aircraft, but the reality is our aircraft still serves the market very well. When I talk to the customer, the customer wants additional speed, additional payload and additional dispatch. And I don't need a new aircraft for that.
So I'm not worried about the introduction of a new product; I'm worried about keeping our customers happy. Our customer support has been excellent. If we can build 100 aircraft [a year], I have a very nice company. I like being the little engine that could.
Some industry analysts have suggested that MD cannot survive unless a larger company acquires it. How do you view this assessment?
As ignorance. I don't carry the huge infrastructures my peer group carries. I own this company. They have stockholders and are parts of huge conglomerates or big government. On what basis do they pass judgment on MD's survival? If I am the owner and I am happy and MD is making a profit, then why do they think it will not survive? I have always been disrespected by my peer group and, frankly, it hasn't affected me or the ability of this company to go from zero deliveries in 2005 to way in excess of 50 and profitable [last year].
When do you think America's economy will recover?
I think we are only at the tip of what is going to affect all companies, which is that we have all been living on borrowed money for a long time and all of a sudden
there is no ability to borrow.
When I buy a broken company, we tear it apart variable by variable so we understand exactly how the company was built up. Then we literally need to throw certain thread out and reweave the tapestry into something that makes sense based on where we are. Then we have to walk that long journey to recover it. I think that's what we need to do with our country and our economy. We have to look at what got us here and what's left after we remove some of these synthetic financial instruments, CDOs [collateralized debt obligations] and leverage, and [decide] what it takes to restart an economy. What does it take to get spending moving on both a business basis and an individual basis? And how do we do that?
Does there need to be a regulatory overhaul of the entire financial system?
I think they [the government] need to understand the financial instruments before they even begin to regulate them and allow them. To my incredible surprise, I talk to people who trade credit default swaps, who work within that market and really don't understand the product. So we have a market where we have built up between 60 and 70 trillion dollars' worth of a financial instrument-which is four-and-a-half times the 2007 gross domestic product-and even those who are experts don't understand the product. There is no way you don't end up with a tragic ending.
Has the government done enough to solve the current liquidity crisis?
No, I don't think they have and I am not sure what they have done is the proper pathway to rebuild America and restart our economy. I believe that the losses in the financial system are so deep and so wide that $700 billion of preferred investment in the banks [during 2008] is not going to make a difference.
Frankly, with guarantees on fiduciary deposits and interbank lending, they could have kept the fear factor from pulling cash out of the banks and still allowed the banks to have the capital to lend and to earn their way back. I think that $700 billion could have been better utilized to [help] companies that are going through an unprecedented imbalance, a sudden loss in revenues and the inability to rationalize their expense structure.
I think in the end what we are realizing is that GDP has been built on leverage and synthetic financial instruments for some time and we obfuscated the need for an economic base built on manufacturing, and now we are allowing what we need most to disappear during this moment of crisis. I fear that they [the government] have used their money unwisely in terms of saving us from a very deep and dark and wide recession.

I bought a peel and a pizza stone with hopes of turning out homemade pizzas. This seemed more difficult than I had planned. The dough gave me trouble and it took me a while to figure out you dont need a quart of sauce on the pizza. The pizza would stick to the peel and would haphazardly end up mostly on the stone. whatever didn't make it fell to the oven floor and set every smoke detector off in the house. I became adept at chiseling off burnt pizzastuffs of the stone with the dough knife. Things have been improving. I fixed the dough and now they land right in the middle of the stone and surprisingly they are desired within the household over the local pizza joints. My biggest nut to crack was getting rid of the rolling pin that was needed to form the pizza shell. I have been trying to handform them but for the mostpart the results have to considerd failures. I am proud to anounce that I have recently made six pies in sucession without the rolling pin and I am pleased with the results. I must admit it takes me a bit of time to get it to streach out in a satisfactory manor. I think my next big investment will be a digital scale so I can refine the dough some more and concentrate on consistancy. I think the discovery of this forum is just the ticket I needed to break through the brick wall and develop some pizza making skill.

I used to have an extremely hard time getting my dough to stretch out without tearing. It was when I was using the original New York recipe posted on this site (it's also posted on another site, not sure where the recipe originated, but anyway). I think it was because of the long kneading time (full 15 minutes). I could be wrong about that though because I have totally abandoned that recipe and now almost exclusively use the Lehmann formula using percentages.
I have two digital scales now. One for the flour and water and another one that I use to weigh the salt, yeast and oil. It is
easier than trying to measure everything and as I'm sure you know a
more accurate.
I have never used a rolling pin for pizza. As far as everything I have read or seen on TV and whatnot it's a major no-no. The funny thing about this is that the best pizza place in the town I live in uses one. You never get any bubbles or anything because of it but they still have the best tasting pizza in town. They use a deck oven and they also use escalon products for their sauce.
I too had a problem getting the peel figured out but I have it figured out now. The biggest thing I have noticed is using enough flour (or whatever it is that you like to use, personally I like semolina flour) on it to keeping the dough from sticking (without using too much). That and assembling the sauce, cheese and other toppings as quickly as possible to keep the dough from wanting to stick.
As far as your dough not stretching out easily I have the opposite problem now. It stretches almost too easily. I really can't "hand toss" it because it would be too big. I am going to experiment with using less dough soon to see what happens though. Right now I am using about 19.6 ounces of dough for about an 18" pizza.
If your pizza is better than the local joints then you are on the right track for sure.
Oh by the way, I use about 7 ounces of sauce for the my pizzas. I'm not sure what everyone else on here uses but for the size I am making it seems to be about right. Not too much but enough.

Dude, i feel your pain!!. Ive done the same thing only on blodgett deck ovens and its no fun as you know.
You mentioned that you were having trouble stretching your dough. One thing i would suggest if your dough gets real tight and your having trouble stretching without tearing, don't force it, it only gets tighter. i take a plastic trash bag and cover the dough well and walk away for 10-15 min. you will return to a different dough which is nicely relaxed and easy to finish stretching.

i too had problems stretching my dough for the longest time.
i just recently changed my mixing techniques as described on the reverse engineering patsy's thread.
Here's my post with my latest results:
i went from having a dough that took a good 20 minutes with all my knuckle strength and stretching to get out to 14 inches to a dough that feels like soft butter and stretches out as fast as i want.. and its all because of the difference in mixing.
i followed this exactly:
Preparation Didactics
Stir water and salt with spoon until dissolved in stand mixer bowl. Add approximately half the flour. Add yeast and preferment (optional). Set stand mixer on stir for 1 minute with hook attachment. Allow it to rest for 20 minutes. Mix on stir speed for 5 minutes, adding in remaining flour gradually. Scrape dough off hook if riding high. Add oil and mix on 2 for 5 minutes. Get out thermometer, check dough temperature; it should be 80 degrees at the hook. If not, use warmer or colder water next time to adjust. Allow dough to rest for 15 minutes.
Remove dough from bowl and hand knead for 2 minutes on lightly floured prep area. Cut into 2 equal pieces, form into balls, drop dough into bowls, cover with shower caps or plastic wrap. I use no oil to coat the balls and have not noticed a problem removing balls from stainless steel bowl. Place dough in the refrigerator. Ferment for approximately 24 hours. On the following day, remove dough from refrigerator and bring to room temperature (approximately 60 - 120 minutes). To ensure light crust and proper cooking, dough must be at room temperature before cooking.
i followed post #211 on this thread:
give that mixing technique a try (with the resting period, and adding flour gradually later, etc and i think youll notice drastic changes)
keep it up!

I can't thank you guys enough! This is great info. What started on a whim has developed into a hobby for sure. I reviewed the reverse engineering thread and will spend some time there the next few days. I can see that going on to the next level I should consider a mixer. I'll do some looking around to see if I can't find one to go along with the scale. At this point why stop here. I figure between the installation of the Foro Bravo brick oven, The 1200 sf patio to go along with it... A mixer and scale I'll be turning out $300 pizzas in no time! Gotta love it though.
Bakerboy, I see in one of the threads your into making sourdough breads. I think this is where it all began. I captured some wild yeast and began baking some mind boggeling Calamatta-Sourdough and Jalapeno-Sourdoughs with it. I had to stop because I was growing faster than the National Deficiet. The culture died and I havn't fooled with it since but I'll be back for sure once the oven is up and running. Nathan, I can't imagine a comercial pizza parlor wielding a rolling pin. But I found that bubbles wern't a probem. Even after rolling out the dough I was able to make pizza crust with lots of bubbles. But I'm doing ok without the roller now and that one of the goals I have set is to go roller free. I'm able to streach 12 oz of dough out to cover almost all of my 16 inch stone without one now. Snowdy, Those are some awsome pics of your refined pizza! I was looking at that thread the other day and was amazed at how "Pizza Perfect" it was in every way. I could only hope to come close one day. The thread surely is an inspiration!

20 Games Like Alliance of Valiant Arms()
Super Mario World
Super Mario World (known in Japan as Super Mario World: Super Mario Bros. 4) is a side-scrolling platformer developed by Nintendo EAD and published by Nintendo for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System on November 21, 1990 (in Japan), August 31, 1991 (in North America), and April 11, 1992 (in Europe).
One of the launch titles of the SNES (and bundled with early systems in North America), Super Mario World is the fifth main game in the Super Mario series. (starring Nintendo's mascot, Mario, and his brother, Luigi). The game follows both Mario brothers as they explore Dinosaur Land (known for its large amount of dinosaurs) to find and defeat the evil Koopa king Bowser (and his seven underlings, the Koopalings) while rescuing Princess Toadstool.
Along with new abilities (such as the "Spin Jump"), a new power-up (the "Cape Feather") and more obstacles, the game introduces dinosaur companions (known as Yoshi) that Mario and Luigi can ride. Yoshi, known for using their long tongues to snare and eat enemies, have become a fan-favorite among the series (giving them their own games and spin-offs, most notably this game's prequel).
Special bundles of the SNES in 1994 included a compilation cartridge mixing Super Mario World with Super Mario All-Stars. The only difference in this version is a new sprite set for Luigi. The original game was later ported to the Game Boy Advance on February 11, 2002 as Super Mario World: Super Mario Advance 2. Along with a special version of the original Mario Bros., the port includes a variety of differences, including Luigi as a selectable character (who now has unique features, such as his floating jump from Super Mario Bros. 2), new voice acting, and the ability to save anywhere. The original game was also digitally re-released in Nintendo's Virtual Console platform for the Wii (on February 5, 2007) and Wii U (on April 26, 2013).

In addition, Super Mario Bros. 3 introduces numerous elements, such as new enemy characters and the use of a world map to transition between levels, that have reappeared in or have influenced subsequent Mario games.

Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island
Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island or simply Yoshi's Island, known in Japan as Super Mario: Yoshi Island (Japanese: スーパーマリオ ヨッシーアイランド Hepburn: Sūpā Mario: Yosshī Airando?), is a 1995 platform video game developed and published by Nintendo for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System. Acting as a prequel to 1990's Super Mario World, the game casts players as Yoshi as he escorts Baby Mario through 48 levels in order to reunite him with his brother Luigi, who had been kidnapped by Baby Bowser's minions. As a Super Mario series platformer, Yoshi runs and jumps to reach the end of the level while solving puzzles and collecting items. In a style new to the series, the game has a hand-drawn aesthetic and is the first to have Yoshi as its main character. The game introduces his signature abilities to flutter jump, produce eggs from swallowed enemies, and transform into vehicles.

Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time
Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time is a third-person puzzle-platformer and action-adventure computer and video game published by Ubisoft. It was released on November 21, 2003 and is a reboot of the landmark video game series Prince of Persia, created by Jordan Mechner in 1989.
The Sands of Time, developed internally at Ubisoft Montreal, successfully captures the mechanics of the original platformer and extends it to the 3D generation. An earlier attempt by The Learning Company to transfer the game to 3D (Prince of Persia 3D) was released in 1999, but despite its initial good reception failed to sell enough and the company responsible for the original trilogy was already closing doors. The game was praised for its visual design, finely tuned game mechanics and intriguing storyline, winning the game several awards.
The game was developed for the PC, PlayStation 2, GameCube, Xbox, and later a 2D-version for the Game Boy Advance and mobile phones. The success of The Sands of Time led to three followups, Prince of Persia: Warrior Within (2004), Prince of Persia: The Two Thrones (2005), and Prince of Persia: The Forgotten Sands (2010). A remastered, high-definition, version of The Sands of Time was released on the PlayStation Network for the PlayStation 3 on November 16, 2010.

Gloves come off in fight over Emir
The European Parliament's Economic and Monetary Affairs Committee, known as Econ, is today poised to reject key details of new European derivatives reforms in a development that European policy experts have described as "precedent-setting" for the future of the European policymaking process.
Tim Gieles, a manager at Brussels-based financial services consultancy Cicero, said: "This is definitely new territory – this has never happened before. It's clear the European Parliament wants to take big and bold action."
Today's vote in Strasbourg concerns the European Market Infrastructure Regulation, a sweeping piece of G20 reform that will force most standardised over-the-counter derivatives through clearing houses.
The broad regulatory text has been nearly three years in the making and was finally agreed by Europe's key policymaking institutions – the European Parliament, the European Commission and the Council of the European Union – in the first half of last year.
The task of fleshing out the finer detail falls to Europe's chief watchdog, the European Securities and Markets Authority, which is responsible for implementing and enforcing the regulation. These details, known as "technical standards", were published by Esma in September and signed off by the Commission in December.
But influential members of the Parliament, Welsh Conservative Kay Swinburne and German Christian Democrat Werner Langen, are unhappy with two of Esma's proposed standards, arguing that they diverge from the intention of the original so-called "level one" Emir text. The standards in dispute relate to the treatment of derivatives used by non-financial firms to hedge economic risks, among other issues.
In a written statement, Swinburne told Financial News: "Members of Parliament, including myself, who were actively involved in the negotiations of the level one text of Emir are concerned that Esma's rules, as written, seem to go against what was a hard-fought compromise between the co-legislators – the Parliament and the Council."
Tensions build
The tensions between the Parliament, the Commission and Esma result from a change in the European regulatory procedure brought about by the November 2009 ratification of the Lisbon Treaty, which has centralised more power with European institutions.
Previously, standards-setting would typically involve informal two-way discussions between the Commission and the Parliament, meaning the Parliament's views were incorporated into the standards prior to formal adoption by the Commission.
The Emir standards, however, are the first drawn up by Esma under the new procedure. According to a source close to the discussions, the Parliament has been shut out of the process. Esma came into being in January 2011.
Swinburne said the Parliament had understood that Esma would continue with the previous working method and is "disappointed that there has not been more communication.
The Parliament is now likely to be forced to use the only legal instrument it has in the case of this kind of disagreement – a full rejection of the standard".
Esma declined to comment for this article. The European Commission did not return a request for comment.
European policy experts regard today's vote as a show of force on the part of the Parliament which is increasingly looking to assert its authority as the only democratically-elected institution involved.
Anthony Belchambers, chief executive of the Futures and Options Association, said: "The Parliament is always looking to flex its muscles regarding the Commission."
Jane Lowe, director of markets at the Investment Management Association, said: "This sends quite a strong message that the Parliament feels it isn't being treated with the respect it deserves."
The individual involved in the Parliamentary discussions said: "We are setting a precedent. We are the only body with democratic scrutiny, we have made the decision – it's not for Esma to do whatever it wants." The Parliament's tough stance has been praised by some, especially those representing the buyside.
Richard Raeburn, chairman of the European Association of Corporate Treasurers, said he welcomed the amendments, adding: "Brussels institutions are taking the gloves off and I think that that is very good for the health of the policy-making process."
Lowe added: "We feel the whole Esma process was very rushed and we welcome the fact the parliament is willing to negotiate on this."
Nevertheless, the dispute throws a question mark over the Emir implementation timeline. Today's Econ vote is expected to trigger a wider Parliamentary rejection of the standards in question on February 7.
One lobbyist said the subsequent process remains uncertain, although the Parliament and the Commission are working on the basis that rejection of some standards does not prevent the adoption of others.
The rejected standards are likely to be passed back to the Commission which in turn may instruct Esma to redraft them. However, according to three lobbyists, the Commission is seeking internal legal advice on the process it ought to follow in this case.
Delay possible
Some believe Emir implementation could be delayed by up to six months, although Swinburne said the revisions can be dealt with swiftly and should take no more than two.
One bank lobbyist said the delay would give firms a welcome reprieve. Lowe said: "Getting the rules right matters more than jamming them into a timeline."
The precedent established during coming weeks, however, will have implications far beyond Emir. Belchambers said: "If you take the view that this is a case of Parliament flexing its muscles, then the bigger issue is what is going to happen with all the technical standards for the Markets in Financial Instruments Directive and regulation.
If the Parliament takes the same approach, we may end up with a much more protracted process across a much bigger portfolio of new rules. Delayed timelines increase the overall cost of implementation."
Gieles said: "This development could have implications for other dossiers, such as Europe's implementation of Basel III. The EU is pressurising the US to implement Basel III and therefore it can't afford to lag behind."
• Going the distance
July 27 - Emir published in the European Union's Official Journal
Sept 27 - Esma publishes and submits draft technical standards to the European Commission
Dec 27 - The European Commission endorses standards
Feb 4 - Scheduled Econ vote on disputed standards
Feb 19 - Deadline for European Parliament to reject standards
July 8 - Absolute deadline for publication of standards in Official Journal

hi all!
First of all sorry for my bad english (I'm from Italy).
I lurked around for a couple of weeks but I don't have a clue on where to start!
Since I'm a student my budget is limited so I want to start from the entry level teas. The only pu erh I tryed are the one that I found on Amazon.co.uk (Yunnan) from "the tea makers, London".
I like it but since I never read about it here I think is not good...
What I need from a tea is an energizing drink and a strong flavour.
What entry level (under 10euro/100gr) pu erh do you think will fit me the most (from the Dragon Tea House)??
Thank you in advance
Westley Cruz

Felt abit dry in a way.. Wish it could taste more chocolate... But a good choise to milkchocolate if youre allergic, and since theres not much else like this to get hands on.
There are plenty of better dairy free chocolate product
Publié par 4665503560050011313 le Nov 25, 2014
Disapponting... Sweet, crunchy, but not so much taste of chocolate as I have prefered. There are plenty of better tasting dairy free chocolate products available where I live (Sweden). However, this is soy-free, which is positive!
Not good
Publié par Reviewer1822459 le Oct 24, 2012
Tastes like really old, stale chocolate. The dark chocolate from this brand is much better.

Good, but the chocolate tasted a bit funny.
not good
Publié par opheart le Sep 30, 2012
The taste is expressionless, the chocolate flavour could hardly be detected. Rice crunches are good. If you have no allergy, a simple good chocolate is much much better.
Stale Chocolate Bars
Publié par Reviewer2918645 le Sep 05, 2011
These bars on my order tasted old. I know the heat makes the chocolate bloom..but they did not have a nice chocolate taste like I am used to. My husband even thought they tasted oldish, stale. I love these bars and buy them all the time..but not sure if I will order them from iherb if they are going to taste old.

I am very happy that this product exist. It got a mild, milky taste but it doesn´t contain dairy.

Gotta have my chocolate!
Publié par Reviewer1864624 le Sep 03, 2011
When I learned I needed to go dairy free and soy free, it knocked out chocolate for me, which was on the level of a national disaster. The Enjoy Life Foods Boom Choco Boom bars are fantastic! I enjoy all three flavors, and they are a treat for me.

This was great with no after taste.

#9 Embrace the Minimalist Spirit
Doesn't every trail runner identify in some small way with the bohemian spirit of Chris McCandless, the main character in Jon Krakauer's opus, Into the Wild?
Any trail runner with a credit card can reserve a ski-resort chalet for a training or race weekend, perhaps receiving a massage while savoring views from a balcony. But the essence of trail running resides closer to the ground —for some, even on the ground. The sport was born from the Earth, and so it follows that we should return to basics every so often.
It should involve camping, cooking your pre-race breakfast on a camp stove and washing up under a sun shower. Many call it dirtbagging.
Channeling the spirit of McCandless, Tim Long, a Bay Area trail runner, doesn't look at it as "dirtbagging" so much as leading a "pioneer lifestyle." Says Long, "The point of it should be not how bad it can be -- like sleeping on the floor of an office at a stranger's house and having the owner come home and go into his office while you're lying under his desk, like I did last month at Moab—but the focus should be how good it can be, how, through skill and experience, how many creature comforts you can eke out of an otherwise Spartan setting."
Long could write a book about some of the simple pleasures he's savored while taking a minimalist approach to the sport (many are detailed on his blog, www.footfeathers.com). He has slept in the back of a truck and then had coffee fresh from the race director's personal coffee maker. One summer, he found an unlocked window in a clubhouse at a ski resort during the Tussey Mountainback national 50-mile championship. He went from having to sleep in the back of his rental car to sleeping on a sofa, with a television, fridge and bathroom all to himself.
"It's about being resourceful and opportunistic, bordering on the edge of societal norms without crashing over the line," he says.
So, while Trail Runner does not endorse trespassing, there is certainly virtue in focusing only on the trail race at hand—even if it means sharing the back of a truck with a smelly dog and two friends.
