This book presents a behind-the-scenes perspective on the Vatican's inner workings that challenges popular perceptions, revealing the personal conflicts, authority-undermining scandals, and modern considerations that are challenging the Vatican's daily business. For more than twenty-five years the author has reported on the inner workings of the Vatican. His daily exposure to the power, politics, and personalities in the seat of Roman Catholicism gave him a unique perspective on an institution that is far less monolithic and unified than it first appears. He reveals Vatican City as a place where Curia cardinals fight private wars, scandals threaten to undermine papal authority, and reverence for the past is continually upended by the practical considerations of modern life. The author takes readers from a bell tower high above St. Peter's to the depths of the basilica and the Saint's burial place, from the politicking surrounding the election of a new pope and the ever-growing sexual abuse scandals around the world to controversies about the Vatican's stand on contraception and more.

10 camera apps for taking the perfect selfie
0. phoneArena posted on 14 Feb 2014, 09:39
If somehow you haven't heard about this yet, "selfie" was named Word of the Year for 2013 by the Oxford Dictionary. This didn't come as much of a surprise, actually – taking self-portraits has become more popular than ever now that every smartphone comes with a camera on it. The huge popularity of social networks where people are encouraged to share their pictures has also played a role in spreading awareness for the term's existence. But this post isn't about the origin and history of selfies. It is about something that you're probably more excited about – apps. We've picked 10 iOS and Android apps that can help you take better selfies, or make your self-portraits more fun...
This is a discussion for a news. To read the whole news, click here

Hope some come to WP I'm a iphone user but I think WP should have some of these great apps. Nokia = best camera
3. Dastrix (unregistered)
Agreed! Considering how Windows Phone and Windows will soon be unified, devs will definitely get on board. Mainstream apps like Instagram are encouraging devs to develop for the platform as well, and we've seen great apps such as Camera360 and Hipstamatic Oggl being offered. The more the merrier! Camera apps are awesome!

I dont get using the front camera if you want a good self shot. I have become a master with a self timer using the back camera.
12. Olgaa (Posts: 1; Member since: 21 May 2016)
Facey Camera is one of the best Android camera applications I've ever tried. Very cool features for the capturing and amazing photo editor.
This app has unique feature of taking pictures when face(s) are detected. So, You don't have to worry that someone will be left out of focus even if You capture with back camera.
Also it has an awesome photo editor that has lot of different filters and tools for tuning of the photo.

I would recommend COFIE as well to add to this list..
Cofie, the collaborative selfie app, ensures distance will not stop you from taking selfies with those you love.

Baltimore Jewish Times
BALTIMORE, April 2 (JTA) — Jessica Mendels was only 15 when her father, Franklin, died in his early 40s. Now, almost a decade later, she has found a way to reconnect with her father while recording on film the circumstances of his birth and first years of life. A professor of economic history at the University of Maryland at Baltimore County, Franklin Mendels did not tell his eldest daughter much about his past, particularly his childhood years of hiding from the Nazis. After his death, Jessica Mendels realized that her family's history was in danger of being forgotten if she failed to preserve it herself. Three years ago, she spent a week in Le Got, a village in the south of France, photographing the sites of her father's childhood and interviewing villagers who remembered his family. "Everyone was so warm and welcoming," said Mendels, 24, who teaches photography at the Glenelg Country School near Columbia, Md. "They had fond memories of my family and said they all knew that they were Jewish. They had all collaborated to keep their secret." Mendels has recorded her trip on 16 mm film and plans to release it as a short documentary later this year. "There is a huge connection in my life that is missing," she said. "This is a way for me to feel connected to him and his past. And if I don't do it, it will just disappear." Mendels plans to make another trip back to France to shoot additional footage, and hopes to bring her aunts back to the village with her. She will be working with a new digital video camera that will enable her to edit footage on a Macintosh computer. Franklin Mendels was conceived and born while his French Jewish family hid from the Nazis. His parents, Frits and Ellen, fled their comfortable Parisian life in the middle of the night, carrying their possessions in backpacks and relying on paid guides who led Jews from occupied France to the free zone. They made their way to Le Got, a village of 30 residences that is so small it does not appear on most maps. Only the town's mayor and priest knew the Mendels' true identity. The mayor secured false work papers and food cards for the family, and the priest offered to hide them in a bell tower if the Nazis came to inspect the town. The family maintained a normal life. Daughters Manuela and Jacqueline attended school with the other village children. Frits Mendels, who was an importer-exporter in Paris, found work on a farm. But the Mendels, who named their only son after Franklin Delano Roosevelt, were quite aware of what was going on outside the village. Ellen Mendels wore a vial of cyanide around her neck and was prepared to swallow the lethal substance if the Nazis came for her family. Her mother, one of 13 victims of the Holocaust on both sides of the family, had done the same. Franklin Mendels was not an observant Jew. Nor were his parents. He had his Bar Mitzvah at a synagogue in Paris, where the family returned after the war. He married a Catholic woman, and they raised their children with little attention to organized religion. "We were a very secular family," said Jessica Mendels, who considers herself "culturally Jewish" but does not belong to a specific congregation. Manuela Bornstein, one of the photographer's aunts, praises her niece for her determination in preserving their family history. "Not all young people are interested in this aspect of history," said Bornstein, 63, a travel agent in Atlanta. "We know what we went through, and it's wonderful that she has taken it upon herself to tell the story." Mendels hopes to make the film accessible for students and young adults. "As far as I know, there are no films on this subject made by someone my age," said Mendels. "It's time for us to take the reins and become responsible for telling the story. "Our aesthetics are different," she said. "We are part of the MTV generation, and while I am certainly not going to glamorize this part of my family's past, there is a visual language people my age use. "It's the story of my family, coming through the filter of my youth."

MedAire said it has become the "first in the world" ready to receive remote vital-sign medical-monitoring data from civil aircraft in flight. The company's first subscriber for this service is British Midland Airways, which will equip all of its long-haul flights with the Tempus 2000 remote vital-sign monitor from London-based Remote Diagnostic Technologies. The approximately $50,000 Tempus 2000 is designed to allow someone with no medical experience to collect and transmit a patient's blood pressure, pulse rate, temperature, electrocardiogram, blood oxygen and carbon-dioxide levels. This data is then transmitted instantaneously to MedAire's Global Response Center in Phoenix, where doctors use the data to advise the crew of the best course of action. Separately, MedAire is testing the effectiveness of another remote vital-sign monitor, the $20,000 TeleMedic Systems Vital Link 1200.

Shame on you, NASCAR
Posted February 15, 2009
Other than the friends, family and fans of Matt Kenseth, can anyone say they were satisfied with the end to Sunday's Daytona 500?
After 152 laps of paint-scraping, trash-talking, tire-wearing action, we were primed for a seriously fun finish to the sport's greatest race.
And then came the rains – and NASCAR's pathetically impatient approach toward trying to run the race's last 48 laps.
Would the Super Bowl end after three quarters because of rain? Would a golf tournament be cut short without trying to play the last round? What about tennis? There's no way baseball would award a World Series championship to a team in the seventh inning of game seven would they?
Of course not.
In those sports, the governing bodies either allow the contestants play through the conditions, or wait around long as long as possible to see the championship through.
Tennis waits until Monday to play the final of a Grand Slam if Sunday's weather isn't cooperative, and golf does the same.
This year's World Series saw the Phillies and Rays take three days to finish game five, just to make sure each time got a fair shot at the title.
When it comes to auto racing, however, apparently one look at the Doppler radar is all the drivers, fans in attendance and viewers at home get from the big wigs with NASCAR.
I fully understand that safety and pragmatism don't allow for the drivers to operate their four-digit horsepower cars on a wet track, but why not wait for the rain to pass? Why not hang around until Monday, or Tuesday if necessary to make sure the right driver cruises down victory lane?
Sure, it may put teams behind in their preparations for the next race, but how is that different than a golfer having to fly to a tournament a day later, or a tennis player getting one less day to practice for their next event.
Is it ideal? No.
But neither is crowning a champion at the British Open after the tenth hole on Sunday, a winner at Wimbledon after the quarterfinals, or the king of the Fall Classic after game three.
Just show an effort - that's all I ask. I know I work at a television station, but even I can admit that the meterologists are sometimes wrong.
Who knows? Maybe a few-hour window will open up and you can give everyone the race finish they deserve.
Like so many other organizations, NASCAR is struggling mightily with the nation's economic downturn, especially considering its close relationship with the auto industry, arguably the most adversely affected sector in the entire nation. It needed a thrilling Daytona 500 to generate momentum and buzz for the entire season.
Instead, with the uninspired effort it put forth on Sunday, the organization not only made a poor public relations choice, but a bad business one as well.
Sure the people at Dewalt are happy – their man in the 17 car won the race.
Unfortunately for the series' governing body, the sport lost the respect of at least one person in the process.

Proactiv Repairing Treatment
Proactiv Repairing Treatment Reviews
I don't even know what to say about this.I guess that Proactiv must work for some specific group of people, but I don't know who they are. I saw the pictures in the commercials and the results looked good, but this just turned my skin red and shiny, tight, itchy and irritated. Oh, and it bleached my clothes and pillowcase. That really gave me pause-- I wasn't sure I wanted to put a product that could take the color out of fabric onto my skin. Pass on this. — 6 years, 6 months agoLittleBunny | 545 reviews

My Reasons for Reporting This


text:
If you have a bad habit you want to break, the tax collector wants to help. Really.
It's only for your good that an increasing number of states are imposing more and higher taxes on activities that lawmakers, usually armed with some advocacy group statistics, deem detrimental to our individual, or even society's, well-being.
Or so the taxing entities say.
New York is the latest state to rely on what are popularly called sin taxes. Effective July 1 Empire State cigarette smokers will pay an additional $1.60 in state taxes on every pack they buy. That will make the state's $4.35 cigarette tax the highest in the nation.
According to some calculations, the average price of a pack bought in New York will be about $9.20. Big Apple smokers will pay even more, nearly $11 a pack, thanks to the city's own cigarette taxes.
Other tobacco products, such as smokeless tobacco products and cigars also will encounter tax increases.
Now it's no secret that smoking and other forms of nicotine delivery pose cancer risks.
And lawmakers who've hiked such taxes over the years and who will continue to do so like to say the levy is to help us be healthier. Studies have shown that people, especially young smokers, do cut back or stop when the price gets too high for them.
Plus, say politicians, a healthier citizenry mean less stress on the health care system, leading to lower costs for us all.
They're lying.
No, not about the health care benefits of giving up bad habits, but that our well-being is the reason for the taxes.
States, and it is mostly states doing this, are raising these taxes because they're running out of money. Targeting our vices at least gives them some moral cover.
So if you're still smoking or drinking or doing whatever is deemed unhealthy, such as artificially tanning, thanks for your contributions to government operations.
Do higher taxes affect your activity choices? What's the most you'd pay for six pack or a pack smokes?

Zoya Nail Polish Reviews
Great color selection!I love this brand! They have a huge color catalogue that has polishes to appeal to any taste. There's plenty of nice sheers and nude shades for girls who want really classy, but subtle nails. Plenty of great reds and burgundies for ladies who like vampy hues, and plenty of funky, trendy shades for people like me who prefer blues and greens over more traditional nail color choices. What I reall...read morey like too is that unlike with some brands, their seasonal collections continue to be available on their websites long after newer stuff has come along so if you're new to the line you don't have to scour ebay for past hits. Their prices are pretty reasonable too, and fairly often you can get some sort of discount or special offer code if you give them your email address. The formula of these is pretty good too. A little thicker than OPI or China Glaze, but they're no harder to apply than any other brand that's quit using "the big three" and a Zoya manicure can last me through an entire week if I'm willing to tolerate tip wear. Apart from a little wearing at the tips on Day 3 or 4, I generally can get through the week wearing a Zoya polish without any chipping or peeling. And that's all I can ask! My only regret with this brand is that it's more difficult for me to find in person than other brands. As much as I love to look at swatches of new colors online, I like to be able to see polishes in person so I can have a better idea how they'll look against my skin tone before I buy. I rarely have that opportunity with Zoya. That's a very minor peeve though as I'm seldom disappointed with the Zoya polishes I buy online without seeing them first. — 8 years, 4 months agoshriekingviolet | 77 reviews

One of my favs!I love Zoya polishes because of their broad range of unique colors and exceptional longevity. My only gripe with these polishes are they are sometimes a little thick, so you need to allow more time for application and drying. But, it's a small price to pay for a great polish! — 8 years, 7 months agomakeupmasala | 24 reviews

Zoya - 2008 Winter Collection in FlourishThis review is for Zoya's 2008 Winter Collection in Flourish. This set includes six jewel toned nail polishes. Overall, I was extremely impressed with these Zoya nail polishes. All of these shades left a high shine metallic look. This was my first time ever trying out this brand and I am floored! My favorites are Zara and Shivon. When applied, your nails match the exact color on the bottle. And ...read morepregnant women should not fear these nail polishes, because they are free of toxic Toluene, Camphor, Formaldehyde and DBP. Even though this is a Winter Collection, I love how the colors are so versatile that you can wear them for more than one season.

Have Mental Health Questions? Ask a Psychiatrist Online
Hi! I believe I can be of help with this issue.First, let me say I can imagine how overwhelming this situation must be for you. You are using all your internal resources just to maintain any equilibrium given all the trauma and difficulties that you had in your early life. I want to take a pause, though, for a moment to just tell you how impressed I am with your ability to keep going amid such overwhelming feelings that you have had to contend with every day. Why do I say that?
You write that you are addicted to this abusive man. And he truly is an abuser. Why would you be so obsessed with him that you don't even let yourself be turned on by other men?
Precisely because of all the overwhelming feelings from your past. Just like other addictions, the alcohol, drugs, or in your case the obsession with this abuser keeps the pain away. It numbs you from all the emotions that might otherwise overwhelm you. That's the nature of emotions. When they "go away" without being resolved, they just get locked into rooms in our inner selves. They don't actually disappear. And then they leak out in unexpected ways and cause us emotional turmoil and we afterwards don't know where those feelings come from often. And we consider doing whole sorts of life altering things just to get relief. Like being an intelligent woman with a degree who obsesses on a man who hurts women for his own needs.AA or NA won't help in this. But there are support groups for BPD and I'll get to them in a minute.
And so this is why I am impressed: you have kept going and you move forward and you do not give up. The anxiety seem overwhelming at times but you keep persevering and trying. It is truly impressive and inspiring. So, two things: first, I want you to know that at the end of this posting I'm going to give you a technique for just lowering the anxiety a little when you feel overwhelmed or just "feeling". It is not a cure, but it is something you can do throughout the day to help bring you back to the present moment from the anxiety. And second, that after you do the technique throughout the day, I want you to remember and say to yourself what I just told you: that you have always moved forward and kept going and made the future happen and you will do it again this time. And I'll discuss ways to do that as wisely as possible.
And this is actually the key to my answer to you that you need to consider and think about. I am going to introduce a concept that is so important for you because of Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD).The first element you have to get to is: it is clear from the brief information you gave and the emotion packed into it that there is a truth you need to get to if you are going to find relief.
That truth is that relief, your personal salvation, is not going to come THROUGH YOUR FEELINGS!
You're not going to FEEL your way toward feeling better. Yes, that sounds like a contradiction. But, the key for you is going to be whether you are going to be able to learn to approach life from something other than feeling. Because feelings are too overwhelming. They keep changing. And they are telling you different things all the time. And that gets overwhelming and the anxiety then begin to take over. This is the way feelings are for you. So, life can be good for you but only if you have the patience and willingness to LEARN how to approach it from a different part of you than how you feel. So that you aren't always so often overwhelmed by what you're feeling and searching desperately for relief.
There was so much trauma and dysfunction in your early life that feelings are just going to be overwhelming most of the time. And you need help in learning how to manage your feelings that were shaped during your youth which was so difficult. For you, then, to learn how to approach life from something other than feeling, the best type of therapy is Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT). I want you to learn the skills that DBT offers. So, start with the following website put together by people who aren't psychologists but who have gone through DBT themselves. Try as many of the self-help options they have. Mindfulness is particularly important for you and a good place to start there.Here's their web address:
If you connect with DBT, then find a therapist in your area who works with DBT. Even better, find a DBT group to go along together with individual therapy. So yes, therapy is the step on your road you may now be ready for. If you don't have a good referral source for yourself, here is the web address for Psychology Today's therapist directory. You can sort by zip codes and when you see someone who seems like they might be helpful (you can see a photo of the therapist!) look at the listing and see if they list anything about personality disorders or PTSD in their orientations and what they work with. And then ask them if they don't do DBT therapy if they know someone in the area they trust they could refer you to.http://therapists.psychologytoday.com/rms/
If you need more resources here's a commercial website. I don't like their therapist directory very much because its format seems a little hard sell to me. But they have a chat group that you might want to join:
You're a survivor and in my book a champion, so try to use the techniques to your best advantage. You've made it through very rough waters in your life. You've come to the DBT world so you're extremely fortunate. But remember: quick relief is NOT your friend; it is part of the problem. Always remind yourself of that. And when you feel like you just have to do something to get quick relief, remember what Dr. Mark told you and go back to your truth. And then continue with the slow methodical work that being the good human being you are requires.
I wish you the very, very best!
Okay, now I am going to copy for you here instructions on a therapeutic protocol called Progressive Muscle Relaxation (PMR). It's really quite easy to do almost anywhere. My patients suffering from anxiety and overwhelming feelings, when I teach them PMR at first are amazed how simple it is and that it is a psychological protocol. It was first used in the 1920s! Since then, of course, it has been refined and many studies have been done showing its effectiveness. You will practice PMR at first when you don't have anxiety so that you will be familiar with it. I want you to practice the PMR at least 5-6 times before an attack. Why? Because when you're in the throes of overwhelming feelings, you will only remember to do something you are very familiar with it. So practicing 5-6 times is really a minimum.I want to stress the importance of breathing as well. Part of the physiology of what is happening to you in anxiety and overwhelming feelings is that your breathing is getting shallower. This reduces the oxygen in your blood to your brain. That increases the anxiety reaction, which strengthens the attack and you are in a vicious cycle! Not good. So breathing is the primary tool. I have found in my practice that learning breathing techniques can be helpful. But some of my patients are not interested in learning more than one thing at the beginning, so I have found that just reminding you to BREATHE deeply at the same time you are doing PMR is almost as good. If you are willing to take a yoga class and learn breathing techniques, that's the best. But, breathing deeply with your PMR will help.So, we're ready for learning PMR. I want you to print my instructions below my signature and have a copy in each of the rooms of your home where you may be when you have an attack. And again, you need to practice this easy technique at least 5-6 times as soon as you can. It needs to become as natural to you as breathing. Ah, remember breathing?

"Our long-term strategy is paying off," says BASF's chairman, Dr. Jürgen Hambrecht. "That's most apparent in turbulent times like the ones we're currently seeing in the financial markets. BASF's strategy is not to try to achieve improvements over just a few quarters. Instead, we strive constantly to keep ahead of the global competition over the long term."
The company confirmed a confident outlook for the rest of 2008 thanks to its record first quarter. More specifically, the strongest sales growth was again posted in the oil and gas segment. This was due to higher crude oil prices and increased natural gas production in the exploration and production business sector, as well as sales volume increases in the natural gas trading business sector. The oil and gas segment also posted the highest increase in income from operations.
First-quarter sales rose in the double-digits in the chemicals segment due to higher volumes and prices. However, the earnings level achieved in the same quarter of the previous year was not reached. This was due to a decline in margins for cracker products and decreased plant availability in the petrochemicals division.
The plastics segment increased in sales slightly. The rise in sales in the polyurethanes division as a result of continued high demand worldwide more than offset the slight currency-related decrease in the performance polymers division. First-quarter earnings were considerably higher than in the same quarter of 2007.

March Madness: March Madness Predictions
March 11, 2012 by staff
March Madness: March Madness Predictions, The month of March, beside its reputation as the gateway to spring, is also known for madness – "March" madness, that is. Beginning next Thursday, sixty-four men's college basketball teams from the NCAA's Division 1 will compete in this annual ritual that will have both devoted and novice college basketball fans scurrying to fill in their "brackets" to try and determine the winner of college basketball's national title when the championship game is played in New Orleans on April 2. CBS will broadcast the tournament live throughout – both over the air and on CBSSports.com.
The bracket of teams is set with Sunday night's selection show, and that promises to be infused with considerable emotion: from the height of elation for those borderline or "bubble" teams making the field, to the depths of disappointment of those having been "snubbed" or otherwise overlooked in the selection process. That process is handled by the NCAA Div. 1 men's basketball committee, made up of university athletic directors and conference commissioners. These so-called "at large" bids, thirty-seven in all, are based primarily on a team's Ratings Percentage Index; in other words, the strength of its schedule and overall performance against that schedule.
Websites like Rivals.com compute these statistics, which are integral to compiling the teams' overall rankings. Typically, the lower a team's RPI, the stronger its chances of receiving an at-large bid. Though RPI has been the generally accepted means of selecting teams for three decades, it is not infallible. Controversies can erupt when partisans of overlooked teams argue that their school's statistics outweigh those of teams that were accepted. And with so much money and prestige at stake in making the tournament, the perceived subjectivity of the selection committee's decisions can produce bitter and acrimonious debates.
However, RPI rankings are not the only means by which a team can enter the field. Thirty of the thirty-one remaining slots will be filled with conference champions. These come from both "major" conferences such as the Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC), Big East, Big Ten, etc., and "mid-major" conferences, or those that fall outside the traditional major or "power" conferences. Harvard University, in the tournament for the first time since 1946, is the only exception, as its conference, the Ivy League, does not have a championship tournament.

The Arizona Wildcats will be in Tempe Friday night to take on the Arizona State Sun Devils on the basketball court.
When the game is over and they head back to Tucson, though, the school's presence will remain.
A guest of Doug and Wolf's on Arizona Sports 98.7 FM Friday as part of Newsmakers Week, Arizona Athletic Director Greg Byrne said the greater Phoenix area is critical for the school.
Even though Arizona State University, the school's rival, considers the location home.
"Oh I'm sure they like it," Byrne said with a smile.
In all seriousness, the goal is not to infringe on ASU's turf as much as it is to reach one of the broadest bases of Wildcat fans in the country.
"Obviously our rivals are right here and there are a lot of fans and a lot of support here," Byrne said. "We get that, we understand that and respect that.
"At the same time, too, we have a lot of alums, we have a lot of recruits, we have a lot of future students and current students who are from the area. It would be irresponsible if we weren't up here on a regular basis."
So, along with billboards saying "This is Wildcat Country" being placed all over the Valley, Byrne and the Wildcats have also brought football practices and various alumni events to the area. And in 2016, the Wildcats will face off with BYU in a football game at University of Phoenix Stadium.
Byrne added that there have been talks with other schools to agree to a basketball series, with one of the games being played in Phoenix, but haven't found anything that makes sense.
"That's something we'd like to do in time," he said.
It's all part of building the brand. Byrne, who earned his bachelor's degree in 1994 from the school he's now a rival of, said it's important for the Wildcats to remain aggressive in trying to reach out to the Phoenix-area market.
"We will continue to be aggressive in Phoenix and Maricopa County," he said. "It's good for our university, it's good for everything that we're a part of up here.
"And I think there's a lot of fans that enjoy it and appreciate it."

Zoe Lucker introduces her new daughter, Lilly Alabama, in this week's issue of the British magazine Hello! The baby was two weeks old when the photos were taken, and is a month old now. Zoe is engaged to Lilly's father, film editor Jim Herbert, and they plan to marry next year.
Lilly was born September 2 by Caesarian because the baby was growing at such a rate that a natural birth would have been too risky.
'The second she was born it was the most natural feeling in the world to want to love and protect her. It's difficult to speak about these things without sounding like you are a gushing new mum, but it's overwhelming. You know what it feels like to love your family or friends or a man, but I am amazed by my capacity to love this child. Jim spent the first night in hospital with me and we stayed awake the whole time just staring at her.'
Zoe also says she is amazed by how quickly her body adapted to being a parent,
'Until the end of my pregnancy I couldn't get my head around the whole breastfeeding thing, but that was completely instinctive – its amazing how brilliantly your body responds.'

("1st United" or the "Company") (NasdaqGS: FUBC) and other violations of state law by the board of directors of 1st United relating to the proposed buyout of the Company by Valley National Bancorp ("Valley"). Under the terms of the transaction, public shareholders of 1st United would receive 0.89 shares of Valley common stock for each share of 1st United they own. Based on Valley's closing stock price on May 7, 2014, 1st United shareholders would have received consideration valued at approximately $8.69 per share. The firm's investigation seeks to determine, among other things, whether the Company's board of directors breached their fiduciary duties by failing to maximize shareholder value before agreeing to enter into this transaction, and whether Valley is underpaying for 1st United shares.

After trying that one Maybelline press powder that had AMAZING coverage. I had no second thoughts about this liquid foundation, now I kinda wish I did. I mean first of all the applicator is just...?? i mean i have no time to apply my foundation drop by drop (even when i wiped the applicator clean I still had to re-dip it) it's so time consuming. Also, it really smells like alcohol which is alarming because it just made me wonder if this could burn my skin off. As for coverage, it's fine but I've used other brands with better coverage.
So sorry maybelline :( But there's always room for improvement (or maybe going back to old formulas, just saying)

Review for: Coconut
I like this product allot in terms of the formula. I think it's a perfect match for my skin tone. It's very light weight, watery. I felt that it blended very well except for around the areas with harsh lines such as my nose it did tend to settle in the crease which was a bit unflattering. I didn't understand the applicant though. The shape of the wand just didn't make sense to me. I haven't worn it on its own really. I usually apply a little over my highlight/concealer for a more natural look. Would I purchase this again? Probably not.
Ahhhhhhh, hers my baby! My number 1 go to drugstore foundation! These has the most beautiful finish of any foundation I've tried no matter what the price tag! It's so beautiful, has adjustable coverage from sheer to high coverage depending on how you apply and how many layers you apply. It has a velvety finish, with a natural look. I cannot say enough about how much I love this stuff. I think they are discontinuing it, which is crazy talk to me but I found it at big lots and I bought 20 backups! That's how much I love this stuff!
Review for: Nude
This is a nice foundation. it wears really nicely and lightweight, with a powdery finish. the coverage is sheer and it wears well throughout the day. the packaging is gorgeous and super cute and compact. i think the thing that turns me off most would be that it can look streaky upon application so you really have to work it into the skin and have time to do so. it would definitely work better for those without dry patches anywhere because this will emphasize those. i don't reach for it often so it's not a favorite of mine.
Review for: Ivory
I am Sad to see some Not so good reviews on this product. The formulation is great! I have had no problems with it flaking or sliding. I do use a primer with it though. It is so easy to use. I use a stilling brush. Or when I take it with me
To get ready I use my Fingers. Coverage is the same
No matter which application which is nice! It's rare that a foundation applies the same with different methods. I don't recommend a beauty blender with this one though. It soaks a lot up. Probably more than it deposits.

Review for: Classic Ivory
I love the way this feels!! It's like actually soft to touch and covers so well. I have super dry skin and this stuff does not cake or look worn out as the day goes by. It feels super light and blends flawlessly. I actually purchased this as a closeout item from big lots! Lol and went straight back to buy more. I have never does that! Only complains in the dispenser. Kinda weird and even with the lid on tight it gets into the cap and makes a mess when I try to close it again it has to be kept upright!
This foundation leaves my face looking flawless. So lightweight. Even tho I believe I got a shade that's has a little bit of a pink undertone, it's okay with concealer and the rest of my face makeup it looks amazing. It's keep me matte throughout the day. I only have to touch up with powder once through the whole day, even tho with this foundation no powder is needed but I'm super oily so I defiantly need to set it lol. Did I mentioned I have 3 of these lol. 1 that I'm using and 2 backups. Whoops.
Review for: Classic Ivory
I like this foundation well enough! The bottle with the wand is just really odd, I use a makeup sponge to apply. The bottle I found gets real messy with the stupid wand thing. But other than that....the foundation covers pretty well and I like how it makes my skin feel. I have oily skin and all foundation never lasts all day, this one is no exception, but I still use it almost everyday. It matches my skin tone really well too. I got it on clearance at Big Lots for $3!! So you can't beat that!!
Review for: Nude
I've used this product twice since purchasing it. Bought it for 4.00, I jumped to try it. The foundation did go on smooth and it made my face feel soft but I thought the little foundation bump at the end of the wand was weird. I do have to agree with rare others that this foundation left my face looking great but by the end of the day, it was so oily! It looked like my face was melting off or you could fry chicken on my forehead! Other than that I did like it but won't use it again.
Review for: Nude
I have very oily skin and this was a great formula. It changes from liquid to powder, which really combats the oiliness that builds up throughout the day. The formula is very thin, so it could get quite messy (although, that's largely user error). The applicator is terrible. It's this bizarre plastic nub that isn't super sanitary. I used to pour it onto the back of my hand instead, hence why it got so messy. I depotted mine into a pump container and it's been great since then.
I have some trouble with this foundation, i love the aplication and the finish, BUT, i leaves my skin very very dry and with spots. I dont know if i used it wrong. Can someone please help me?
Does this foundation work well on oily skin?
hi guys whats the best concealer? Maybelline Dream Wonder Fluid-Touch Foundation
Has this broken anyone out?
Is this full coverage?

Lawyers have called on the Australian government to provide more leadership on how Australian companies can avoid corruption, saying nobody is taking responsibility for giving guidance.
Minter Ellison points out that unlike in the US – where the Department of Justice has aggressively prosecuted international payments to foreign officials – Australian companies cannot apply to the Attorney-General for advice on whether a specific payment is considered corrupt. The Australian government has never given companies a maximum value for permissible facilitation payments.
In the UK, the Financial Services Authority requires companies to "maintain effective systems and controls to mitigate financial crime risk" and provides guidance on how companies can reduce the risk of corruption.
The UK's Serious Fraud Office investigates and prosecutes corruption.
The Australian Securities and Investments Commission does not have any authority to deal with foreign bribery and there are no provisions within the Corporations Act that specifically relate to bribery of a foreign government official. If a company director is involved in foreign bribery he or she would be dealt with under the foreign bribery provisions in Australia's criminal laws.
The AFP, which has jurisdiction over foreign bribery, stresses it is a "law enforcement" agency, not a regulatory body, but says it will take part in the development of the national anti-corruption plan.
The government committed $700,000 to develop Australia's first anti-corruption plan in September 2011 with the objective of developing a "whole-of-government policy".
The AFP also helps train senior Austrade officials who liaise overseas.

Three times VELUX EHF Men's Champions League winner Uroš Zorman talks about his transfer to Kielce.
Zorman: "I always want more"
Spain, Slovenia and now Poland: Uros Zorman seems to like to travel around within the world of handball.
During the winter break of the VELUX EHF Men's Champions League the Slovenian playmaker changed side within Group A, as he left RK Celje and joined Vive Targi Kielce.
But when both teams face each other in the crucial Round 8 match, the Slovenian will not be playing with his new team against his old team-mates, as the EHF regulations forbid playing for two CL clubs in one season.
Zorman is a three times EHF Champions League winner. He won the trophy once with Celje and twice with his former Spanish club Ciudad Real.
For the next stage of his career in Poland he has signed a long term contract in Kielce. Vive Targi President Bertus Servaas was highly satisfied with this reinforcement: "Uroš is on of the best playmakers of the world. With his signature we continue building a stronger and stronger team."
In this interview with ehfCl.com Uroš Zorman talks about his transfer and his ambitions in Poland.
ehfCL.com: What you know about your new club, about your new team?
Uroš Zorman: I know that Kielce have big ambitions for the future and want to win the VELUX EHF Men's Champions League. I believe that we soon will be able to say that Kielce is one of the biggest clubs in European handball. Club President Bertus Servaas is more ambitious than most of the other club presidents.
By looking upon the Kielce team you can find more and more big names every year. Also the team is supported by a huge number of frenetic spectators. We have a good coach – I guess you could say that Kielce stands for a great handball atmosphere in all respects.
ehfCL.com: Not only the club is ambitious, you are, too. After winning the VELUX EHF Men's Champions League three times what is your impetus?
Uroš Zorman: I always want more! Before decisive matches I tend to realise that I am among the best in Europe. Then I have this great joy already before the game. I want to repeat this joy as often as possible. Even after having won the EHF Champions League three times, I want more success.
I moved to Kielce not only to play but also to learn something new. And most important: I want to be part of a team and to win as many titles as possible.
ehfCL.com: Was it an easy decision to change the club in this short period?
Uroš Zorman:No, it was not easy. When you live in your home country with your family and friends, the decision to leave is hard. But I know that Polish people are friendly, Kielce is a nice city and of course my family followed me to Kielce.
The match between Celje and Kielce is crucial, the loser is out of the race for the Last 16. This Round 8 match in Slovenia will be broadcast as a free-of-charge live web stream on ehfTV.com.
VELUX EHF Men's Champions League, Group Phase, Round 8

🎹 Best Digital Pianos Under $1000 for 2017 - Roland FP30, Yamaha P115, Casio CGP700, Kawai ES110, and more.
🎹 UPDATED REVIEW: August 2, 2017- Yamaha, Roland, Kawai, Casio, Suzuki, Korg, etc...which one is best and which one should you buy?! Hello to everyone shopping for a digital piano. My name is Tim Praskins and I am a digital piano expert and have been teaching & playing on them for over 40 years (started teaching as a young teen:) and have taught 1000's of students during my extensive music career. I play acoustic concert grand pianos, digital pianos, and pro keyboards professionally (as well as play and teach guitar & organ) and do free digital piano consultations for schools, churches, piano teachers, studios, and families all over the world to help you decide what piano might be best for you in your price range. There are some people out there who say they specialize in digital pianos or have had some experience on them, but that does not necessarily mean they know what they are talking about because most of them don't. However, I do know what I am talking about when it comes to hundreds of different models of digital pianos now and in the past, and my older son Erik and I (Erik is also a very talented guy and knows his digital piano stuff) are willing to share that info with you at no charge and explain it on your level and give you free personal advice. I work with my son Erik in our own music studio and as I said, Erik is quite knowledgeable about digital pianos and likes to help answer people's piano questions. We do not have a retail store or warehouse and do not link you to Amazon sites trying to get you to buy a digital piano that you don't need or should not own. I am an experienced teacher & pro musician and offer digital piano advice without needing to "sell" pianos like other so-called reviewers try to do with Amazon links to digital pianos so they can make money regardless of how poor that digital piano may really be. All my reviews are my opinions and done by myself for the public at large. If you want to know more about me and my work, please go to the following link: More about Tim Praskins and AZ Piano Reviews
🎹 If after reading this review you decide you want to purchase a new digital piano, I can show you how to buy one at a much better discount price than on Amazon or internet stores so please ask me! 😀
There are 4 brands of 88-key digital pianos that I recommend right now which, in my opinion, are quite good in the lower price range under $1000US. Those brands are Yamaha, Casio, Roland, and Kawai. There are other name brands offered under $1000 including Korg and Kurzweil that you may see advertised out there, but at this point I really do not recommend them near as much as I do Casio, Yamaha, Kawai, and Roland for a number of reasons. Typically I don't recommend a brand or model if there are noticeable deficiencies in key action, piano sound realism, or pedaling as compared to a real acoustic piano and that is why some brands or models that you may see advertised on the internet are not recommended by me. It may not be necessary for you to spend more money (over $1000) on a digital piano, even if someone else (like a store salesperson or someone on the internet) says that you need to spend more money to get a proper piano. However, if you do have the budget to spend more than $1000 (up to $2000 or more), the quality of piano sound & key action reproduction in many of those models are very good and can be even more enjoyable to play, especially if you have a higher playing skill level or just want a piano that sounds and plays more like a real acoustic piano. *If you would like to learn about my recommendations for best digital pianos between $1000-$2000, go to my review of those pianos at the following link: New Digital Pianos between $1000-$2000
Casio now offers 9 models of piano type weighted key digital pianos to the general public under $1000US internet discount price including the basic CDP130 ($449US), the Privia PX160 ($499US), PX350 ($699US), the CGP700 ($799US), the PX360 ($899US), PX760 ($699US) compact cabinet model, PX780 ($899US internet discount price) compact cabinet model and the top of the line 2018 cabinet model PX870 ($999US internet price). Casio also offers a Pro Digital Stage Piano called the PX5S at $999US internet price which has no built-in speakers and is for people who want to perform on stage or create special music in a studio, etc, and will be using their own powered monitors or speakers, but want something a bit more flexible in terms of live instrument sound and effects along with controlling capabilities. Go here for my full PX5S review: Casio PX5S Review. Finally, Casio has a top of the line model portable digital piano called the PX560 ($1199 internet discount price) which is the first lightweight self-contained (with internal speakers and music rack) portable keyboard instrument to straddle the worlds of pro digital pianos, pro synthesizers, and home digital pianos all in one instrument. I have played this new model many times already and recently published a review of this very impressive instrument. Although it is sold on the internet for more than $1000, it is worth consideration if it is within your budget and you're looking for a feature packed portable digital piano. Go to the following link to read my PX560 review: Casio PX560 Review
Yamaha currently offers 4 models of 88-key digital pianos models under $1000 including the P45 ($449US internet price), P115 ($599US - left pic), DGX660 at $799US, and the new YDP103 at $899US internet discount price. I have reviewed all of the Yamaha models under $1000 with the exception of the newer model DGX660 which has replaced the older DGX650 at the same internet selling price of $799US, so stay tuned for my review on it soon, although I have played it many times and you can always ask me about it. It looks and acts similar to the DGX650 but with improved piano sound, user interface selection, and some other features. I do recommend all of the Yamaha's mentioned here, and although the least expensive Yamaha P45 portable model is somewhat basic in what it can actually do, it's still a good beginner piano for those people who need to stay under $500 cost. Many of the digital pianos that Yamaha produces sell for over $2000 whereas most of the digital pianos produced by Casio and Korg sell for under $2000. So when it comes to Yamaha, especially in a furniture cabinet style, you'll need to spend a bit more money in some cases, but it can be worth it. It just depends on the piano itself and what you actually get for the money.

With regard to beginner piano students and their music education, as a long time private & group piano & keyboard teacher, this is something I know a lot about. It is never too early or too late to start piano lessons and enter into the exciting & rewarding world of playing music. I teach and have taught thousands of students from 4 years old to 94 years old. Whether you play piano as a recreational hobby, or go on to do it professionally as many of my friends and some students have done, it's always a tremendous blessing for me to see people at any age enjoy the piano playing experience and bring music into their lives in a very personal way. The little girl in the left picture (she's my granddaughter:) is involved in piano lessons and she loves it whether she's playing on a big concert grand piano such as the Steinway 9' grand she is sitting at (above left pic), or whether it's at a digital piano utilizing iPad apps to further enhance the learning and playing experience. If you want important info on the best way to proceed as far as lessons and learning go as well wanting to be sure you're getting the right instrument for your needs and budget, please contact me and I'll be happy to answer your questions.

Of all the digital pianos out there under $1000 I would say overall my favorite cabinet piano under $1000US right now is the Casio Privia PX870 at $999US internet discount price (left pic). This piano really surprised me for its low price after I played it because it has a nicely designed compact cabinet with the 3 built-in full function pedals and slide out key cover, and it had a pretty big sounding acoustic piano tone with a wide dynamic range. The key action has a 3-sensor key technology not normally found in less expensive cabinet digital pianos until you get above $1200 in other brands. The Casio PX870 also has the synthetic ivory & ebony keys (normally found on pianos in higher price ranges), 256-note polyphony piano memory (which is a lot), half-damper recognition (a good feature for piano students and players), fairly realistic acoustic piano hammer (graded piano weighted) key action, direct USB output for instant connectivity with laptop and iPad (go to the following link to learn more about iPad apps: iPad Apps and learning piano), and some useful built-in educational features.
|iPad app
In my opinion any of these name brand recommended pianos I mentioned under $1000 would be fun to own and play, but the Casio company has really outdone themselves with their new PX870 furniture cabinet model at $999US internet price. This model is definitely a "home run," but even with all that being said, the Casio PX870 still may not be the right instrument for you. There may be a better option depending on your particular needs & musical goals so contact me before you make a piano purchase anywhere and I will give you free expert advice. You may even want to spend a bit more than $1000 and there are some good options in that range as well. Go to the following link to read my review on the Casio PX870: Casio PX870 Review
IMPORTANT PUBLIC NOTICE ABOUT MY REVIEWS - Just so you know, there is no precise or impartial digital piano rating system (like stars, check marks, numbers, etc) as some people on the internet would have you believe...and that's why I don't do it. There are just too many variables. In fact there are some so-called "reviewers" out there who have no idea of what they are talking about, they say things that are just not true at all, they rate cheap keyboards along side of digital pianos which is ridiculous (keyboards are not digital pianos), and what they report is only so they can link you to an Amazon site to make THEM money if you buy something. These "reviewers" are as impartial as bees are to honey...in other words they will say things that gets you to buy a "recommended" piano off their Amazon web site links. If you see something like that then run away from those people as they are not there to help you, regardless of what they say. In fact, I have noticed that many of these "fake review sites" steal my content and then post a version of it on their web sites. I know this because they copy some of my blog review sentences would they would otherwise NEVER say and they could not have been able to test out many of the unique pianos that I have and then come up with the conclusions they state in their so-called reviews. It is true that imitation or downright coping is the sincerest form of flattery but unfortunately on those sites it is done solely to make money off of you without regard to what is actually true, and that does bother me!
I always recommend that you do your homework before you buy because as I said, ultimately any of these pianos may be a good choice for you. However there are definitely some models that offer more for the money depending on the price range you can be in, and if you would like my help in making your decision, please contact me as I do not charge for my advice and I do this as a labor of love:)
If you want more info on these and other digital pianos and lower prices than internet, Amazon, Bundles, or store discounts in the USA, please email me at email@example.com or call me direct at 602-571-1864

Stomach flu, sometimes called gastroenteritis, is inflammation of
the stomach and intestines. It can be caused by a viral, bacterial, or a
parasitic infection, but it is not caused by the influenza virus.
The symptoms of gastroenteritis include nausea, vomiting, abdominal
(belly) cramps, diarrhea, fever, and weight loss.
Stomach flu usually goes away without medical treatment in 1 to 2
days. Home treatment can relieve the symptoms of stomach flu and prevent
problems, such as dehydration.

Windfall as Peter Rabbit turns 100
Peter Rabbit could be celebrating his 100th birthday with a £45,000 cash windfall.
That is the price which is likely to be paid for a single copy of The Tale of Peter Rabbit by Cumbrian writer Beatrix Potter.
The book is part of one of the best collections of Potter material ever to come to auction.
The collection is expected to raise hundreds of thousands of pounds at a Sotheby's sale in London on 12 July.
The writer, who lived at Near Sawrey, near Hawkshead, in the Lake District, first created the character of Peter Rabbit in a picture letter in 1893 to Noel Moore, the son of her former governess.
Her attempts to put Peter Rabbit into print met with numerous rejections from publishers, so she decided to print the book herself and ordered 250 copies.
It is one of this first batch of books which could fetch an estimated £45,000.
The venture encouraged Beatrix to print another 200 copies, and a book from this second run is rated at £10,000 in the sale.
First book
Publisher Frederick Warne finally marketed their version of Peter Rabbit in 1902.
A first edition of Appley Dapply's Nursery Rhymes, signed by Beatrix Potter with three ink rabbit drawings is rated at £8,000.
While a Christmas card from the author with animal drawings could fetch up to £3,000.
Other first edition books such as The Tale of Tom Kitten and The tale of Jemima Puddle-Duck are priced at £6,000 each.
The best-preserved copy of the first ever book containing Beatrix Potter's work sold for £23,250 when it went under the hammer in December 2001.
The book, called A Happy Pair, was Potter's first break in publishing in 1893 and included her Christmas card illustrations alongside poetry by a different author.

Roodepoort - Four foreign nationals were arrested for possession of illegally mined precious metals in Roodepoort on Wednesday, said the Hawks.
Captain Paul Ramaloko said the four men were caught travelling in a truck carrying four tons of unwrought gold, earlier on Wednesday.
Another ton was found abandoned in an open veld.
The men were arrested after a sting-operation at the Durban Deep mine, along Main Reef Road in Roodepoort.
They would appear in the Roodepoort Magistrate's Court on Friday.
Ramaloko said 29 other people were caught mining illegally in the same area and were all foreign nationals from Zimbabwe, Mozambique and Lesotho.
They were found with no documentation and would be handed over to home affairs officials, said Ramaloko. - Sapa

The first Iraqi scientists to be interviewed by United Nations weapons inspectors claimed yesterday that their answers proved Baghdad has not been working on a secret nuclear programme.
Their comments, and the fact that UN inspectors agreed to interview them with Iraqi "minders" present, cast doubt on American hopes that interviews would yield evidence to bolster Washington's case for military action against Iraq. America has been pressing UN inspectors to use their powers to question scientists and technicians on Baghdad's nuclear, chemical and biological programmes without Iraqi minders and, if necessary, outside the country.
Not only were the first interviews conducted under the eye of Iraqi officials, however, but one of the scientists was permitted to decide where it should take place. The revelation is likely to infuriate hawks within the Bush administration, who suspect the UN inspectors of being too soft on Iraq, and may argue that Iraq's insistence on its own conditions breaches the terms of UN resolution 1441, which sets out rules for inspections.
Last night Iraq handed over to the inspectors the names of more than 500 scientists who have participated in banned weapons programmes.
A spokesman for the inspectors said that they had gathered information of "great use" from their interview with Kathim Mijbil, an Iraqi metallurgist who specialises in aluminium tubes. The tubes, which Iraq has imported over the past four years, could be used in a centrifuge to enrich uranium for nuclear weapons, according to a British government dossier this year.
At a press conference in Baghdad Mr Mijbil, who gained a PhD from Brunel University in 1987, insisted that the tubes were used in the production of 81mm rockets with a range of six miles. He denied any links with Iraq's nuclear programme. "I have nothing to do with any programmes…I'm a metallurgist working on restoring aluminium tubes," he said, adding that he had not provided information on a military programme.
"I do not know if these tubes could be used like that. We don't have a nuclear programme in Iraq, as you know."
He also boasted that he refused the inspectors' request to go to the UN's Baghdad headquarters for interview on Friday morning because it reminded him of the American prison camp in Cuba used in the war against terrorism. "I look at this place as though it was the Guantanamo camp. I am not going to this place. I am a free Iraqi man," he said. Instead he met them at Al-Rasheed Hotel, with an Iraqi official present throughout. Hiro Ueki, a spokesman for the inspectors, said that Mr Mijbil had provided "technical details of a programme" that could be a prelude to a clandestine nuclear project.
The first scientist to be questioned by UN inspectors, Prof Sabah Abdel-Nour, claimed that he had not worked on Iraq's nuclear programme for more than a decade. Prof Abdel-Nour, a physics professor at Baghdad's University of Technology, also demanded that Iraqi officials be present after talks with Iraq's national monitoring directorate, which is shadowing the UN inspectors.
"I informed them it was better for both of us because it was a sensitive matter," he said. "I wasn't being cautious. I have nothing to declare and I am ready to answer everything. I preferred having an Iraqi with me."
In an interview with a Middle Eastern television station, broadcast yesterday, he said that all he did now was teach science. "I am very well known to the inspectors. I worked on Iraq's nuclear programme but that work finished in 1991. The inspectors interviewed me in 1998."
The apparent defiance of Iraqi scientists follows heavy hints by Husfam Mohammed Amid, the director-general of the monitoring directorate responsible for "liaising" with the inspectors, that they should not be cowed by the UN. "We are concerned with moving scientists abroad. We don't think it's necessary. I myself would refuse," he said.
UN inspectors toured a further five sites yesterday, bringing the total visited in their first month to more than 180. Hans Blix, the UN's chief weapons inspector, will present a preliminary assessment to the UN Security Council in two weeks, and a fuller report on January 27.
Iraq is preparing itself for war. The food rations on which most people rely have been increased to cover two months' provisions at a time. President George W Bush stepped up the pressure on Saddam Hussein yesterday, saying that in 2003 the United States would confront the danger of "catastrophic violence" posed by Iraq. Mr Bush called Saddam a danger to his neighbours and to world peace.
Officials said that the Bush administration was drawing up plans to secure key Iraqi cities, reopen schools and hospitals and use its oil revenues for reconstruction after a possible invasion. At the same time one of Saddam's senior ministers declared that his country would fight invaders "from street to street".
Mohammed Mehdi Saleh, the trade minister, said anyone who tried to attack would be taught "an unforgettable lesson", adding: "We will fight from village to village, from city to city and from street to street in every city."
